HAsTY UNSATISFACTORY MARRIAGE.

A young lady Of Alabama visiting Memphis,
was lately walking along The street with a
young gentleman, when he jokingly proposed
TO step in a church hard by and get married
the young lady assented, aud started toward
the church. When the young man saw that
she was disposed to humor his joke he backed
down and acknowledged himself beat. Pro-
ceeding still further, they met mutual ac-
quaintance, a bachelor business man, and the
ladys companion told Business how she had
backed him out on the matrimonial PROPOSE
ton, whereupon Business remarked to her,
''You can't back me out;n she answered,
eyes can" The parties laughed and chat
ted little, when they started off to get the
license, each surprising the other would give
itup; bu; the document was duly procured,
and the matter began to look serious. The
next thing was to tie the knot; as preacher
was found; by this time both parties began
to draw long breaths, but neither would give
up to the other, They entered the church,
and the preacher pronounced the words that
made them husband and wife. aud there was
no flinching from the VOWS; neither would
take a ''dare, and the result WAS marriage
without any subsequent desire for divorce. 1t
would be wonderful relief to many timid
swain, if this daring business were a thing OF
more common occurrence

The Baltimore american seems TO be in trib-
ulation at the result Of the Connecticut cleo
ton We admit the outlook is o little squally,
and that Democratic majority of forty or
fifty in the Legislature and the election of the
whole Democratic State ticket is one of those
things Republican can't well laugh over. Ii
is really distressing. "Einc lilac lach-yme. +"
The -AmsgicaR says: ''lf the Republican party
goes to pieces, the collapse will be largely
cbargeable TO the Treasury Department Sec
Rotary Richardson, and Solicitor Banfed and
his enterprising corps of ''agents'' are load
which nothing but very strong vehicle can
carry" That's plain talk. The American, too,
gives the President rap over the knuckles,
when il says he ''is partly responsible for this
state of affairs, and tells him plainly enough
that no matter how favorably he may think of
Mr.. Richardson as a fnancer, the people enter
tain a very different opinion. The services of
this gentleman the Americaa thinks could be
dispensed with without detrimen, to the pub
lie service. The people of the conntry-judg-
ing from the recent elections-are beginning
to think the services of the Republican party
can be dispensed with. The government has
been farmed out about long enough.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLATURE AT IL
O'Clock on Monday night the Speakers gavel
fell, TINS announcing that the session of the
Legislature had been brought to close. A
great many bills of minor importance, but still
necessary to the welfare of the people of the
State have been enacted into laws. The as
sessment bill passed over to the next session,
the period fixed by law for re-assessment OF
the property ofihe State. This bill had passed
the House, with a great many amendments,
but the Senate thought justice could not be
done, aud it was permitted to 60 over. Per-
haps the Local Option bill excited more
interest than any other during the session
1t was fought through every stage of its prog
ress BY its opponents until defeated, and who
out-generalled the friends of the measure. But
this may be regarded only MS a skirmish The
battle is to be fought over two years hence
There was al no time a certainty that the bill
would pass, though regarded so favorably.
One good deed was surely done--the passage
of a bin providing for the establishment of a
State House of Correction in or near Baltimore
city, and making appropriations therefor. The
Revenue bill was also passed. On the whole
the doings of the present Legislature will COM
pare fayorably with the ACTS of any of its pred
ecessors

MARYLAND Legislature.


The following is from the Annapolis cores
pendent of the Baltimore American of april 4th i.
The refusal of the supporters of the liquor
license bill to allow any amendments to he
made to it, came near defeating the bill al
together on last Thursday, the reconsideration
being effected by very small majority. To-
day it was called up again, and NJ. Watkins
made very earnest speech, urging some ac-
ton in the matter, stating that the temperance
sen timent of the State demanded some action
at the hands of the Legislature, and grave
responsibility would be incurred if nothing
was done. Those who objected to the bill in
the shape presented, threw the House into
Committee of the Whole, in order to amend
the bill, wbereupon the Temperance men of
the strait sect moved that the committee should
rise and report progress, and having small
majority, carried the point before a single
amendment could be made. The chief point
of difference in regard to the bill was the fol-
lowing section section, known as the damage
law: "The court may require any person taxi
ing out license for the sale of spirituous OF
fermented liqours, to give bond, in such pen
atty as the court may direct, and with at least
two sureties, TO be approved by the court, con-
ditional for the strict compliance with all the
provisions of this article, and all other provi-
sions of law in the premises, and for the pay
ment of any loss or damage which any one
may incur from any FlolallOn tn8refOrt
and an action upon the said bond may be
brought in the name Of the State, for the use
of the person injured or for the use of wife,
or wife and children, or children of such per-
son who may suffer any loss or damage by the
death or injury of The husband or parent, as
aforesaid, resulting from any such violation.
This section, il was claimed would prohibit
any but the rich or the INSCRIPTIONS from OBJ
tanning a license, as it would be impossible to
obtain sureties under such contingencies. -
Others objected TO it as being essentially I'M
just as taken in connection with the section
prohibiting the sale Of enough liquor to in
toxicate man, it was argued that liquor
seller must be gifted with clairvoyance to
guage the capacity of customers, or to know
how much they had been drinking before,
and with such risk OF consequential damages,
the business was made so hazardous aud specu-
lative under the law, that fraud and evasion
would be universal Some members who had
supported the local option bill, opposed this
damage law. Although it was evident that
the bill would pass if this was stricken out its
advocates would not yield. An amendment
striking out the section was defeated-yeas 80;
nays 80.
The bill was then put on its passage and
lost, for want of constitutional majority.
All the delegates from Montgomery county
voted in the affirmative.

CosT OF ADyERTIsISG.-ln this, as in aught
else, the best papers will command the best
prices. 1t is cheaper to pay five shillings for
inserting your advertisements in journal
having circulation of Eve thousand than to
pay two shilliBgs for one that has only cir
eulation Of one thousand. Of this you may
be sure, that any journal that inserts adver-
tisemen,s toS cheap is in fact an almost WORTH
less medium. If it were really good one it
would have no need to lower the prices, for
its sheet would be better filed without the
sacrifice. You may lay it down as q rule that
every journal knows its value, and that if it
adopts low prices i, is because it is conscious
that it has low circulation in number or re-
specialili'y - FAscn's H0nd Book for Id

QUEER LEGISLATION. The Annapolis cores
pendent OF The Baltimore american relates the
following Governor Groome signed bill
recently that had some very odd provisions in
it, and which have been the occasion of some
quiet fun. Senator Lloyd, of Talbot county,
introduced bill authorizing the construction
of ire-proof vaults in the clerks Office at the
Court House in Easton. The bill had pro-
vision intended to require that all books and
documents, when not in use should always be
kept in the vault; but by clerical error it
was SO worded as TO require that the books,
&c, should always be kept in the vaults ex-
cept when not in use. In this way the bill
passed both Houses and came TO Gov. Groome
for his signature. The session was so far gone
thai there was not time to pass another bill,
and as the vaults will probably not be finished
until almost time for the next General Assem-
bly, to meet, he signed the bill. The joke OF
the matter is, that the Clerk is required to give
bond to obey this provision, which would re-
quire him to sit IN The vault when he used the
books and take them out when he didn't wan,
