LEGITIMACIES OF KISSING.

NNHE old Connecticut blue laws'' for
i bade man to kiss his wife on Sun
day, SO they say. But in Indiana it is q
question Of taste and agreement between
the parties when and where the kissing
shall be done. The case has been tried
and settled in Clark County, and is given
as follows in the Jeffersonville Democrat.
William W. Lowd, man of years and Of
reputed wealth, intermarried with young
and beautiful Miss Hay, of highly respecta-
BILE parents, of Charleston. The mother
objected to the marriage but it was never
theless consummated. AT first everything
went merrily as a marriage bell. Dissatis-
faction on the part of the old folks subse-
quently arose. The wife was i'll for several
days. The husband sat by her and watch
ed day and night until nature was exhaust
ed, when he left his place to another person
and went to bed. When Lowd awoke his
wife was gone. Inquiry showed she was
at the mother-in-law's. Lowd was denied
access to, or communication with her.
After diligent Watching, the almost frantic
husband met her on the street, and ap-
preaching her in the kindest, though in
somewhat excited manner, begged to be
permitted to kiss her and talk to her. Her
father interferred to prevent. The hus-
band persisted in his attempt to prevent
him; in doing so, the father laid violent
hands on the husband, finally knocked him
down. Hay, the father, was indicted in the
Clark Co. Criminal Circuit Court for as
sault and battery, and the case came on
for trial at the present term. Judge Dun
ham presiding. There was no evidence
that the husband had ever neglected or
maltreated his wife, but in everything did
the duty of husband, the only complaint
being that he had interdicted from the
house persons he believed were attempting
to ALLEVIATE the affections of his wife from
him.
The Judge, in his charge, stated that the
father had right to protect his child
against all persons whilst the child remain
ed under protection but when the child
was married, either by consent or without,
according to law his right of protection was
transferred by both the operation of law
and nature to the husband as to him, and
that henceforth as against the husband he
had no more right to interfere for the child's
protection than any other person. Every
one has right to interfere to prevent illegal
personal violence. The husband has right
to approach and detain his wife, either for
conversation or to kiss her, anywhere,
without let or hindrance from anybody, so
he does it without physical violence, until
she is taken from his protection and control
by due process of law, and he may resist
any interference with this right, even by
force if necessary, repelling force by force.

The following is au extract from a
letter written by Mr.. Chas. o. Davis, a
former resident of Montpelier, VT, but
who has been on the western frontiers
for the past fifteen years. \ party of
four persons have been spending the
winter in Idaho Territory hunting and
trapping, ana the letter gives a descrip-
ton of the sutfcrings of three of them
during a severe storm in February

it liked to have been the last time too.
| will tell You how it was. Three of us
started to go to Eight Mile Creek. 1t
was quite warm and pleasant; we
started and travelled until noon, when
a severe storm came up, and we camp
ed: next morning it was nice so we
started once more. In the afternoon
we came to a cabin that had no roof on
it, nor doors we thought we would
stay there that night. We found some
hay there, so we cooked our supper and
went to bed all right In the night it
began to storm and grow cold: the
next morning we could not build ii fire
for the wind blew perfect hurricane.
and one could not see ten feet. We
froze our fingers and toes, and then got
back into our blankets and laid thirty
six hours buried in the snow. The
snow drifting on to us was all that
saved our lives. 1t was two feet deep
upon us, and as hard as so much sand
| lay twenty-four hours and could not
turn over: we dare not sleep for fear
of freezing to death. 1t was awful :;
may | never pass through scene like
it again. When we got out so we could
make fire, our eyes We're hloOd-shOt.
and our faces swollen, but, thank God,
we were spared. We had nothing to
eat all that time. To make things
worse, we could hear the wolves howl
ing for their feast of human flesh, but
they We're cheated out of this meal,
thanks to Him that watches over all.
If we got into a dose we could hear the
fire burn, and were eating some nice
meal, somewhere, then it would seem
we were at home so nice and warm :
but we would gain our senses again
only to find that we could not move.
1t got so bad once that Bill got up and
scraped off some of the snow to keep us
from suffocating. l have seen awful
