Sunday Marriages.

The question of the legality Of Sun
day marriages is exciting considerable
attention in legal as we'll as clerical
minds. There seems to be about an
equal division of both parties in this
important matter. 1t is held that as
marriage is legal civil contract, and
that legal civil contracts are illegal if
made on the Sabbath, it is void if per-
formed on thaS day. An interesting
test case is now pending in Rochester.
A millionaire died there recently, and
willed all his property to the children of
his second wife, disinberiting two of ibis
own children. The marriage was per-
formed ON Sunday. 1t is not clear how
this will invalidate the will should the
decision be against Sunday marriages,
but some lawyers believe that in such a
case the will could and would be broken.
If the cotirt decides that marriages are
invalid if performed on that day, no
doubt many more interesting and point
ed cases will arise.

Making Sauer.KraRf.

The best we ever ate we made our
selves for many years, and for a con-
siderable time with our own hands, and
always from Savoy cabbage. 1t was
manufactured in this wise: In the first
place let your "stand," holding from a
half barrel to barrel, be thoroughly
scalded out; the cutter, the tub and the
stamper also well-scalded. Take off all
the outer leaves of the cabbages, halve
them, remove the heart and proceed
with the cutting. Lay some clean leaves
at the bottom Of the stand, sprinkle
with a handful Of salt, fill in half bush
ell of cnt cabbage, stamp gently until
the juice just makes its appearance, then
add another handful of salt, and so on
until the stend is full. Cover over with
cabbage leaves, place on top q clean
board fitting the space pretty well, and
on top of that stone weighing twelve
or fifteen pounds. Stand away in a
cool place, and VIXEN hard freezing
comes on remove to the cellar. It will
be ready for use in four to six weeks
The cabbage should be cut tolerably
coarse, The Savoy variety makes the
best article, but it is only half as pro-
ductive as the Drumhead and Flat
Dutch.-Geimantorn Telegraph.

The Insurance COmpanies-.Per-
picking Problems.

The New York Journal of Commerce,
October 10th, says: 1t may not be
amiss to remind oar readers that the
mere holding of policy in a company
that by loss of its capital is unable to
respond to its undertaking is in effect a
complete Endorsement of the insolvent
institution by the insured himself. Thus,
a man has $4,000 insured in five differ
ent companies, each of which has pol
icy of $4,000. If he has loss of 80
600 on the property, the four solvent
companies will each contribute $4,000
to his relief; as the fifth company is in
solvent, and cannot pay its share of the
taxes, he loses $4,000, receiving but
SS,000 This shows that in the case of
fire policy holder may have more than
twice his actual loss Insured in trst-class
companies, and yet may suffer from the
insolvency of a single underwater
whose policy he holds. The legitimate
method of avoiding this is to surrender
the policy to the insolvent company and
have it cancelled Where this cannot be
done an Endorsement by the remaining
solvent. companies on their policies,
agreeing in case Of loss to waive their
claim to average with the policy now
regarded as worthless, will reach the
same result.
1t appears to us that an interesting
question may be raised whether under
the bankrupt act the policy holders who
are thus compelled to surrender their
policies for their own protection have
not legal claim upon the assets of the
bankrupt corporations for the surrender
of value or cost of reinsurance. We
do not see why the claim is not as equit-
able as a claim under the policy for
actual loss by fire. The policy is not
like an ordinary endorsement which is
rendered merely worthless by the insol.
vency of the undertaken, but it is an
unsafe instrument to hold, and while
held actually substitutes the possessor
for the underwater who gave it, render
ing his estate liable for the amount it
assures.

Radical Rascality In Texas.

counties, which gave majority of l.
$50, leave Clark's majority 947.

Clark has received the, certificate Of elec-

of election. Degener, Radical, refuses
to accept certificate on the ground that

~In order to prevent diamonds
and other articles of light weight and
small size, of great value, from Europe
to the United States, the Post Office De-
partment is about to issue an order that
wherever any foreign mails are received,
such letters as contain more than writ
ten matter shall, be retained, and the
party addressed informed that letter
ter awaits personal examination at the
post-office. This illustrates, in strong
light, the vexatious character of the
present high tariff. The duties collect
ed from diamonds and similar articles
are very trivial in amount. The oppor-
tunities for smuggling them without de
lection are great, without having re-
course to the post office The proposed
restrictions will be grievous and embar-

Utah.

SALT LALE, Oct 2S.-In the case OF
Mrs. Cook VS., Brigham Young the jury
this morning returned verdict for the
plaintiff in the whole amount Of her
claim, with interest, making total of
S2,9S6. There were Mormons as well
as Gentiles on the jury. The defense
gave notice of new trial.
THE MORMON SITUATION
The Mormon papers are mild. The
News says in the crusade against the
Mormons the Government and people
are to be sincerely pitied
The Herald discusses the Mormon
problem, and says it is grave error to
suppose that upon the conviction of
prominent Mormons the Mormon people
generally will disclaim poly gamy or that,
if the Government sent here troops
enough, they will give up their faith
Neither this nor any other religious be-
lief can be crushed out, says the Herald,
by any government on earth, The Utah
Ring and the Administration cannot up
root Mormonism.
1t is said and admitted by prominent
Mormons that Brigham Young has ap-
piled to Hon. VIM. M. Evarts for his
services as counsel to defend him brig
ham on the indictment of the present
Grand Jury.
AN oLD-TIME MURDER.
John Meacham, a well-known Nor
mon, charged with the murder of Rich
ard Yates, some twelve years ago, was
arrested by the United States Marshal at
Round Valley yesterday, and brought to
the city this evening.
There are rumors Of trouble to-mor-
row, upon the occasion of the sentence
of Hawkins for adultery. The women
seem to be most excited. Threatening
letters were received to day by the Uni
ted States Marshal.
Brigham Young left the city day be-
fore yesterday, and was reported last
night at Battle Creek. Geo. O. Cannon
is also absent, said to be at San Francis
co. Something important is evidently
on hand among the Mormons but the
Gentiles generally do not believe any re-
sistance to the law or Government is
meditated
