0aadruule Marriage OF an Indian Prince.

The following interesting account OF the
quadruple marriage of an Indian Prince
is taken from the latest Bombay cores
ponIence of the London Daily Nens:
Il CHANGED to hear last month that an
teresting ceremony was about to be per-
formed in the town of Bhownugger, in the
katlywar peninsula. and, as | had never
been in that part of India before L WAS
tempted to 90 and witness it. Bhownugger
is distant from Bombay about two hun
dred miles, and is the capital of a state
bearing the same name. The chief of the
state is his Highness Tukhutsingh Juswun-
tsingh, and title 'Thakore of Bhow-
nugger The Thakore is minor, having
his state under dministrators-one Euro
pean and one Hindoo--appointed by the
British government; but according to ma
tive ideas he has fairly arrived at mans
estate, having on the 10Th of April reached
his seventeenth birthday. And on that
same day the young prince took it upon
himself to marry four wives at once.
"On arriving at Bhownugger l found
myself suddenly plunged into the midst OF
the gaieties attendent on the quadruple
marriage ofthe Thakore. He was married
on the 10th of April to the daughter of the
great chief of Wutlway, II princess about
fourteen years old, and to the sister OF the
her-apparent of the Gondul dynasty-a
noble lady, as remarkable for her wit as
for charms and great wealth-but who Is
only fifteen years old On the next day
the Thakore completed his four-fold ALI
ance, there having been no time on the
10Th to carry out all the marriage cere
monies according the ancient Rajpoot
custom. The ladies he married on tht
second day were the sister of the father
of the reigning Chief of Vankaneer, agee
twenty two, and the daughter OF yer,
opulent landowner Of Dank. at Talaga
aged only ten or eleven years. have toll

Connecticut people are proverbially
smart, and the following incident is no
exception to the rule: A religions soci-
etv in one of the towns in that State was
afflicted, as many other societies have been
and are, inasmuch as the pew owners had
had real estate right in the properly.
Some of them would not give up their
right, nor sell it, nor consent to any action
by the parish which conld be legally re-
sisted. Here was a case of tyranny. In
a free republic an oligarchy ruled the ma
iority But invention is the offspring Of
necessity, and Connecticut is its home. At
a parish meeting of the society it was vot-
ed to floor over the tops of the pews and
build anew. The real estate remained
peacefully intact below. and the unyield-
ing owners found themselves literally
aoored.-Neac Bedford Mercury.

FELoNs AND Rusty NAILs.-Elder
Evans, the Shaker, says:-For the past
ten years we have treated felons with hot
water, and with unerring success. No
cutting, no blistering, no anything, but
immersing the finger, hand, or even the
whole arm if necessary. in water as hot
as can be borne, until the pain Is G me
and the core is loosenrd and drawn from
the bone. When rusty nails have pro-
duced wounds. the same course has been
pursued. If on the hand or foot keep in
hot water.

AndersonIia with Gas.

The General Agent ofsthe Globe Gas
Light Company of Boston, we believe, paid
urtowna visit last week, sand the result is
that Anderson is so be5lighted with gas. The
agent had one Of his lamps on exhibition for a
night OF swo, s expplaineaits merits, and showed
conclusiyely its superiority over kerosene. We
know nothing Of the modus operand;, only that
the gas is selfgenerating; but this we do know,
that it makes brilliant and beautiful light,
equal to half dozen of the present lamps, and
will add much to the appearance of our town.
The expense of running the gas lamps, we un-
derstand, is less than half the cost of kerosene.
AS the Council had but recently erected at
considerable expense the lamps now in use, it
was thought advisable to raise the money by
private subscription, and not by taxation. a
list was started, our merchants and business
men responded promptly, and in short time
sufficient funds were subscribed, with the e1-
ception of few dollars, to secure the lamps,
and in few days they will be up and ready for
nse. The old lamps will be placed on the
streets leading to the different churches. If
we only had town clock, fire engine, and q
railroad from here to Augusta, We would be
happy.

- The inaugural address of Gov. Ames, of
Mississippi, is full of excellent promises 1t is
to be hoped that he will find some practical
way of carrying them out. he says that he
will strive to secure to every citizen, however
humble and poor, his rights, and see that none,
however rich and powerful, override the law.
Rigid economy, he adds, and strict account
ability for public expenditures are due to the
people, and all transactions concerning which
there may be just cause for suspicion should
be mercilessly investigated, for political organ
izations can no better afford than individuals
to screen or shield corruption or malfeasance
in Office.
