Are Sunday Weddings Void

There is, we heard an eminent lawyer
allege few days since, no marriage le-
gal which is celebrated on the Sabbath
day. There are, no doubt, twenty
thousand couples, ir this State alone,
for whom the marriage ceremony was
performed on the Sabbath-many of
them on the evening of that day. A
note drawn and signed on the Sabbath
day is illegal, or any other legal agree
ment between parties. Marriage is a
legal contract, which, if performed out
of legal time, must necessarily be void
and, claiming this, the sons and daugh-
tiers of recently deceased millionaire
mean to contest his will, because in that
large portion of his estate was willed
to the children of their stepmother, who
was welded to their father on q Sab
bath, in church in the city of Roch-
ester in this State. If the question is
to be decided that such marriages are
illegal, another long catalogue Of vexa-
tious suits will be brought into our courts
by parties similarly related as the one
above mentioned.
The decision lately rendered by
learned judge of our courts, that mar
riages of minors are illegal, and di-
vorce for such not necessary in order
that they can separate and remarry le-
gally since it was carried into immedi-
ate practice by the parties for whom the
decision was rendered, is proving bane.
full to society. The harm that this de-
cision does to our society is temporary
only, and if the entire marrying popu-
lation but learn of this decision, the
future will witness less elopements of
young couples, and less number of
cases where guileful and designing men
entice young ladies from home in order
to wed them. That the ceremony per.
formed for minors on any and all DAYS
of the week, or for couple where one
is minor and the other an adult, should
be pronounced illegal and not effective,
is not strange. But in the face of long
practiced customs, that Sabbath day
weddings are illegal, will strike thous-
ands with feelings akin to consterna-
ton. With all our laws and codes it is,
indeed, strange that these legal enact.
ments which most concern our personal
welfare and happiness are least known

Brigham Young on His Arrest by the
II. 5. Authorities.

Dispatches from Salt Lake, received
on the 9TH inst, state that at an inter
view with Brigham Young he APP
peared somewhat improved, and more
disposed to converse on the situation.
He laughed upon hearing the sensa-
tional reports sent East, and he averred
derly place on the continent. Can
there be found, he said, people who
will submit to as much insult and injus-
tice from those sent TO rule over then.
as the Mormons? He had not had the
least feeling of uneasiness or doubt
since these proceedings against him and
his people had begun. He was panied
to hear that President Grant had au-
thorized this crusade. 1t was, however,
simply the power of the Methodist
Church, which, having signally failed in
its missionary enterprises to the saints,
now proposes to destroy them with
Methodist governors, judges, and packed
juries Of the Methodist persuasion but
who, by the blessing of God, had totally
failed in inducing single member of
Zion's flock to ALLURE the faith.
1t was proposed, he said, to prosecute
under the Utah statute; then to try
him for bigamy or polygamy, and, final
ly, to hold him for the various murders
committed by Bill Hickman and other
outlaws who were called Danites, or
destroying angels. They were thought.

said he, 81 am content to abide by
every law that is just, for every law that
prohibits freedom Of religious belief
must be decided unconstitutional" The
verdict would be the total defeat Of the
bad men now seeking TO disgrace and
injure him and his people. If there is
any trouble, the responsibility will be
with these officials who got it up. The
right will triumph. AS in the past, so
will it be in the future. The Mormons
had met their enemies and vanquished
them with their own weapons, and
" Although" said Brigham, every
member of the court is my avowed
enemy, and every man not an out
spoken hater of the Mormons is
excluded from the jury, | will go
into court on whatever charge
they may cook up, and trust to the
good sense Of the public at large to see
that something like justicesbe DONE"
He was happy to know there was a SUI
preme Court of the United States, the
Judges of which were lawyers of justice
and not fools. He thought the time
had arrived for the capitalists residing
in eastern cities engaged in developing
the mines to use their strength and en-
ter their united protest to the President
against the course of these officials, who,
he said, were keeping out capital from
the east and England. :" | pro-

Growth of the California Wine Trade.
The San Francisco Bu[letin saws F.:

The San Francisco Bulletin says
California wines and brandies have
found favor chiefly because their merits
were discovered, instead of being
brought to the notice of the Eastern
consumers. Yet the demand has slow
ly and steadily increased, and within
the last month there have been ship
ments overland Of ten carloads, and a
full carload ordered from Columbus,
within hundred miles of the famous
Catawba vineyards, now awaits ship
ment. At hundreds of Eastern cities,
where inferior and adulterated sour
German wines are sold at extravagant
rates, Calfo MIA wines actually are not
to be found in the market, chiefly be-
cause no effort has been made to intro
duce them. In fact, our wines and
brandies bave not been, in the proper
commercial sense, placed upon the
market at all. Wherever they have
been tried they have grown in favor,
but principally because of lack of vigor-
Gus stimulation of the trade where
they are sold il is at the lowest rates,
lower than the meanest grades of for
eign wines ; and yet even with this, the
business, owing to the unequalled adj
vantages offered by our soil and eli
mate, is profitable.

The MenOminee Iron Range.
From the Meneminee (Mich.) Herald. Sept.
Sx.4 a., .. 49, q I

From the Meneminee (Mch.) Herald, Sept "
Mr.. Saxton's party of explorers re-
turned from the Range on Friday last.
bringing with them some very fine
specimens and other evidence Of the
great richness of the mineral and value
OF the marble quarries OF the region.
Their principal attention was devoted
to the Breen mine, of which so much
has been said and written, and previous
to the present season so little actually
known. They run Il cross cut and series
OF test pits across the formation of this
mine, exposing four distinct veins of
different richness and thickness, amount
ing in the aggregate to about 600 feet in
width. These veins are exposed by out
crops and test pits for fully three
fourths OF mile in length, and many
tons OF what experts pronounce mer-
charitable ore was thrown out in the
course Of the explorations. The ore,
generally speaking, is of hematite ma
ture, though Of much better quality
than the Lake Superior hematites
usually average, but other and harder
varieties of ore are found in abundance
on the location. Judging by present
appearances, this is one of the most
valuable locations ever worked upon in
Northern Michigan, and railroad and
a comparatively small amount of money
will suffice to develop mine capable Of
producing an almost unlimited quantity
OF mineral. The means are ready, and
the road will not be long delayed.
The same party did some work on
location near the Little Sturgeon Falls,
same Town and Range, finding wide
and promising vein of magnetic ore,
with evidences of other varieties. This
location lies in the vicinity of the mar.
ble quarry lands, and has not yet re-
ceived the attention its merits evident.
ly deserve.
At the marble quarries some work
was done, but owing to the fact that so
much time was spent at the Meen
mine, not much of further interest was
discovered. Some good specimens were
however procured, and we believe it is
the intention of the owners to bring
some large slabs down the Menominee
this winter and have them worked up,
thereby forever settling the point as to
whether they are valuable as an orna.
mental stone or not. That they are the
finest building stone in the West there
is no doubt, and we believe that they
will prove to be equally superior for fine
work. The specimens brought down
are still from the surface, as nothing
was done but to break off a few slabs
from the outcrop. We hazard the pre-
diction that there can be enough marble
taken from this ledge in twelve months
to pay for building railroad to it from
this place, and that it is one of the most
valuable discoveries ever made in the
northern peninsula of Michigan.

A Rich Man with a Mania for Passing
Counterfeit Money.
From the Toledo (Ohio) Commercial

The case of Easy Roberts, whose ar
rest for passing counterfeit money has
been announced by telegraph, is a pc
culiar one. His field of operation was
Salineville, Ohio, on the Cleveland and
Pittsburgh road He was q man prom
inent in the community for his zeal in
the cause of religion and kindred vir-
tues; wealthy, endowed with uncom-
mon business talent, and holding re-
sponsible position under the Cleveland
Iron Company. He is superintendent
of one Of the extensive coal mines oper-
ated by the company. His office is a
responsible one, bringing him into con-
tact with large number of business
men, large sums of money constantly
passing through his hands for the pay
ment of wages to the laborers and for
other purposes. He is about fifty years
Of age, owns the land the coal mine is
located upon, is man of wealth and
influence, and member of family
whose name is among the most respect
able in the district. He purchased his
counterfets of New York dealers, and
passed them off on the merchants and
others with whom he had business.
Several cases of this kind were found,
and when arrested he was found to
have two pocketbooks, one with gen.
uine and the other with counterfeit
money. He is now in Cleveland Jail
awaiting examination.

A Leap from MelrOse Abbey.
AUGUST Is, III.


The CLEANS of the summer sunset
Are gliding hillside and dell.
While the sOftening light from the forest trees
Der the earth casts a dreamy spell.
But far away are the fancies
The scene has failed TO beguie
A single leaf has borne them at once
To st. Daivid's ruined pile"
No longer the sunset is cleaning
But the pale. cold moon is high,
And seat myself in an oriel dark,
While visions are passing by,
Slowly through the broken arches
Steals fair haired Sexon maid.
And beside a Jewess with raven locks,
In a gorgeous robe arrayed.
They pass-the cloister is dim
New regal train sweeps by;
The jewelled hand and the flowing ruff
Are familiar TO every eye,
II changes, and humber forms
Take the place of earls and and queens;
j see at glance, meath rustic hood,
The face of sweet Jennie Deans"
All who is this with lank visage?
A shadow has darkened his brow
! hear an echo-'tis only word.
But know the Dominic " now.
There are waving plumes in the cloister,
And many a belted knight,
There are flashes of armor and Highland plaids,
Slowly fading from my sight.

And the ripples the willows lave

In that shallop, light and tree,
Their faces hid by the whispering trees,
Yet Ellen herself | see.
Once more the hall is deserted
In the moonlight the ivy doth CLEAN,
The buttreSses all are of ebony now,
While the turrets with silver light beam:
The plash of the murmuring Tweed"
The echoing night-winds bear,
And odorous perfume of heather bells
Is floating in the air.
Hush here comes the master SPIRIT
lis Sir Walter himself, ken,
Since all these fair and beautiful forms
First sprang from his magic pen.
His smile is kindly as ever,
And he walks with lingering tread
Oh, pause tor, moment. thou great un-
known!
IT'S vain-the vision has fed.
Again I'm alone in the oriel
The ivy walls in the breeze,
And the old gray arches are towering high
With the cOrnice and scuptured frieze.
Then slowly il fades in the moonlight
Of my visions so changing and brief
Not a single vestige or trace remains,
Save this one green ivy leaf.

A NEW form Of battery, of interest to
electricians, and designed for the pur-
pose of removing the defects of the
otherwise constant battery of Danfell's,
now so much in use. To this new form
OF battery the porous chamber, which
has been the source of all the trouble, is
removed. The battery comprises a
water-tight compartment for the cop
pers salt, connecting column of fluid,
and a compartment for the fine salt.
These are so arranged that while the
electro-chemical continuity is complet-
ed at the top of the copper chamber no
intermixture of the salts can take
place; convection currents, which are
the great source Of intermixture, are di.
vided into three separate systems, which
cannot possibly interfere one with an.
other. By this arrangement, while
economy of the copper salt is effected,
greater uniformity and higher poten-
TALLY are maintained. The zince plate
is found to work out to the very last,
being kept free from the coating of
copper to which batteries are so liable.

The thirty-sixth commencement Of
this institution was held on Wednesday.
The exercises in connection with the
commencement began on Sabbath after.
noon with the Baccalanreate sermon by
Rev. Mr.. Beach, Professor Of Moral
Philosophy. In the evening the annual
address before the Society Of Inquiry
was delivered by Rev. D. w. Fisher, Of
this city. His subject was the "True
Aim of Life"
On Monday evening the two literary
societies Of the institution gave their en-
tertainment. Eight young gentlemen
delivered original orations.
On Tuesday afternoon four young
men respectively from the Freshman
and Sophomore classes detained for
prizes-two being awarded to each Of
these classes. At night the Grafton was

On Wednesday the exercises began
with a meeting of the Alumni. Rev. j.

addresses.
Then followed the speeches of the

the address before the Alumni was de-
livered by James l.. Howard Esq, Of
Columbus, Ohio, on "Art Education in

Thirty have already been admitted to
the freshman class. The faculty is well
qualified for their task.
Marietta is an excellent place for a
college. 1t is an intelligent, moral and
liberal. The Commencement which has
just closed was highly creditable. 1t is
really doubtful if it has been surpassed

HooFLANp's REMEDIES
One Million of Lives Saved !

1t Is one of the remarkable facts Of this
remarkable age, not merely that so many
persons are the victims Of dyspepsia or ia
digestion, but its willing victims. Now, we
would not be understood to say that any
one regards dyspepsia with favor, or feels
disposed to rank IL among the luxuries Of
life. Far from It. Those who have expert
enced its torments would scout such an
idea. All dread 1t, and would gladly dis
pense with its unpleasant familiarities.
Mark Tapley, who was jolly under all the
trying circumstances in which he was
placed, never had an attack OF dyspepsia,
or his jollity would have speedily forsaken
him. Men and women sometimes suffer its
fortunes uncomplainingly, but whoever
heard OF person who enjoyed them?
or all the multifarious diseases to which
the human system Is liable, there Is perhaps
no one so generally prevalent as dyspepsia.
There are diseases more acute ard painful,
and which more frequently prove fatal but
none, the effects Of which are so depressing
to the mind and so positively distressing to
the body. Ifthere Is a wretched being In
the world IL Is
