To people of statistical rather than scnti-
mental turn the mathematics of marriage IN dif.
ferent countreis may prove an attractive tncme
Of meditation. 1t is found that young men nom
fifteen to twenty years Of age marry young wo-
men averaging two or three years older IMAM
themselves but If they delay marriage until they
are twenty to twenty-five years Old their spouscS
average q year younger than themselves; anu
thcnccforward this difference steadily increases,
till in extreme old age Oh the bridegrooms part
il is apt to be enormous. The inclination OF oc-
togcnarans to wed misses in their teens is an
every day occurrence bnt It is amusing to find in
the love matches of boys that the statistics bear
ont the satires of Thackeray and l'alzac. Again.
the husbands of young women aged twenty ana
under average little above twenty five years, ana
the inequality of age diminishcs thcnceforward,
till for women who have reached thirty the res
pective ages are equal; after thirtytve years, wo-
men, like men, marry those younger than them
selves, the dsproportion increasing with age, Till
at ftyfvcit averages nine years.
The greatest number of marriages for men take
place between the ages of twenty and twenty-five
in England, between twenty-five and thirty In
France, and between twenty-five and thrty-hvr
in Italy and Belgium. Finally, in Hungary the
number of ind, idals who marry is q in thou

THE LOUISIANA TANClE.
The President Called on for onfor-
NATION. n...Stgnincant Conduct OF
0A~.seAli~A~a

WASHINGTON Dec 1G-The Louisiana bust
ness was brought up in the House to-day by a
resolution offered by Mr.. Cox, calling ON the
President for information 10 why the Execn-
tive of the United States had intcriered in the af-
fairs Of the State of louisiana and to give all the
facts in reference to the conduct OF Judge Durcl,
in order that the House might determine what
steps ought to be taken In reference TO his inter
ference in the political affairs OF the State. \
number of Republicans objected to the phnseol-
ogy Of this resolution, saying that its object was
to assert that the Executive had intericrcd in
Louisiana affairs. Mr.. Cox, who had at the start
left off preamble he had written, agreed 10 put
In the words '.if not, in his opinion, incompati-
BILE with the interests OF the public service" after
the request for information, but would not mod
iiy 1t any further. The Republicans voted the
resolution down, and Garfield at once offered
another requesting the President to furnish such
Information as he might have relative to the al
fairs in Louisiana, and the action he has taken in
regard thereto. This was adopted without oppo-
sition.
Later in the day Boardman Smith, a Republi-
can member from New York and member of
the New Orleans Special investigating Commit
tee of last session, offered resolution instruct
ing the Judiciary Committee to inquire whether
any legislation IL necessary to protect the people
of Louisiana, Arkansas, and Alabama against the
dangers threatening their liberties and to guard
against the occurrence OF civil war, and also TO
secure TO them republican form OF government.
This resolution was agreed to without opposi-
tiOn.
Coming, ss it did, from supporter Of the Ad-
ministratiOn, 1t furnishes one evidence, among
many, that intelligent members of the dominant
party are beginning to look with apprehension
upon the action Of the Federal Court in breaking
down the State Government in Louisiana, as full
of menace to the future peace and liberties of the
people of all the States. A great number of lead
Ing Republicans in both Houses, say that if any
Federal Judge In Northern State should repeat
Durells proceeding, the people would take arms
ut once and resist the enforcement OF his DEGREES
Except among the Southern Republicans, it is
hard 70 find any one In Congress who fully justi
hes Durells actions, although there are many
who think that the President cannot well dc
otherwise than uphold his authority until his de
cisions are oyeruled, or he is inpeached. Even
some Of the Louisiana members admit that Du
rell's decisions are outrageous, and they only JUS
lily them by oasetting them against some OF
Warmoth's high handed proceedings In the past
The end justihes the means, in their opinion; and
as the end 10 to keep their party In power, they
are not disposed to complain Of any means thai
will accomplish that result.
