The Marrying Business.

The marrying business received a
merited rebuff in Louisville the other
day. As vesy often happens young
lady had engaged herself for life to two
gentlemen, one of them she loved, or
pretended to, and the other she did not
love, but the pretentions were all the
same. By some strange freak, that can
only be explained on the ground that
she was a woman. she married the man
who stood lowest in her virgin affections
The union did not last long, aud in cold
blood she applied for aud obtained a
divorce. Then comes the other and re-
news his suit and Is accepted; the wed
ding day is fixed and the invitations
issued Unexpected troubles come, for
the pastor of the church sel~cted re-.
fuses to perform the ceremony. aud the
trustees decline to open their house for
the spectacle. The tickets of admission
had to be Withdrawn, aud it was necessa-
ry to make other arrangements for the
grand transformation scene in which the
two lovers, after all their troubles, hav-
ing been released from the demon of the
play. were to make an ascension into an
imaginary paradise amid the glare OF
blue lights. Another pastor aud an
other church were found, and the play
was enacted.
This is degrading nuptials into the
coolest kind of business that can be i'm

found it difficult to make a selection from

Those who engaged IN the work Of de-

and tradueers. but nobody doubts the
honesty of their purpose and that they
really meant TO accomplish the thing they
undertook. Years ago some prominent
American Indies organized a crusade
against the wasting influences that were
crumbling away the estates and tomb Of
George Washington. 1t appears they.

both Democratic and Republican, that a

a leading editorial on the subject 1t

the fact that possibly the success of the
new organization involves the disband

The Liberal procession to Cincinnati,
although not yet completely organized,
is sufficiently SO to warrant Us in giving
list of the States that will be represent
Ell in the Convention on the FIRST of May.
In some OF he States. as in Missouri,
sheFe are special delegates officially ap-
pointed by State Convention; in others.
like New York, Illinois, and Ohio. the
delegations will be composed of those
Republicans who have signed written
aud formal responses to the Missouri
call; IN others, as in Michigan. they
have been constituted at called confer
enoes OF leading Republicans, and in
some others, they are composed of indi
vidual Republicans, who have voluntarily
signitied their purpose to attend, without
any special certificate Of appointment
from a State Convention or conference
All these delegations are authorized,
uuder the terms OF the Missouri call,
and al will be admitted TO seats in the
( Convention, though those who have beeu
formally constituted. and are, therefore,
more strictly representative iu their
character, will perhaps carry greater
weight Of authority than those composed
of individuals The following is 8 list
of the States that will be represented in
one of the forms mentioned:
