A Marriage In Extremis.

Marriages in ertrents are not unfrequent
in France and the plot of many novels turns
unOn them. The validity of union oil the
kind at the very last moment Is now await.
inc The decision OF the Civil Tribunal OF
Tonnerre. A few months ago the Procureur
ImnerIal Of that town was reused up in the
dead of night by man on horseback, who
said he had ridden at full speed from the
country house Of NJ. Humbert, who was at
the point OF death, desired to be married I'M
mediately, and begged the Procureur 70 al
low the civil officer 10 celebrate the marriage
at his bedside without the usual preliminary
Iormalities. The Procureur answered out
of his window that he could not do what
was asked at the instigation OF messenger
whom he did not know, but that II cerliti-
cate were brought from the Mayor OF the VII
lnpe in which M. Humbert lived he would
grant the dispensaiion. s
The messenger "spared not for spelling OF
his horse. +" dashed back, woke up the May
or, returned to Tonnerre, and was so sue
cessfully active that before daybreak there
were assembled in the death chamber a
member of the Municipal Council, delegated
by the Mayor, to perform the civil marriage,
the cure OF the parish, aud TWO Witnesses
Kneeling down by the side oil the PED, IN an
agony OF grief and suspense, was the lady
who. for eighteen years, had lived with M.
Humbert Gone of the wealthest land owners
in the neighborhood) as his mistress. A
young girl, the issue of this irregular union
was also in the room, and the object OF the
marriage was to confer upon her the statu'
of legitimacy, as the French, like the Scotch
law, allows per su5ssquens matrimonfum.-
The marriage was gone through, and two
hours alterward the husband expired. H'
left behind him fortune OF 100000 francs
every sou of which will go to the widow AM
daughter If the marriage be held valid, as ir
all probability it will be.
The disappointed blood relations, who hat
taken it for granted that the inheritance
would come to them, have brought an actor
10 have the marriage declared null and void
M. Allou, for them, argued that the mar
riage was bad-first, as clandestine; and sec
ond, because M. Humbeit was too near deatl
at the time to be able to give valid consent
NJ. Lachaud pleaded for the widow and he
child. The court at once overruled the OBJ
lection on the ground OF clandestinity, hold
ing that the dispensstion of the Procureu
Imperial was sufficient, but 1t reserved fna
judgment until after inquiry as to whethe
at the moment of the marriage NJ. Humber
had sufficient consciousness to know what h
was doing
