The social condition of India
has caused a good deal of excite.
ment in relation to a marriage
which is to occur in London. An
eminent Hindoo is to marry a Lion
don beauty. The gentleman in this
case is Mutu Coomara, Swarmy.-
Swarmy is title. Queen Victoria
has made him Sir Mutu Coomara
for he is an eminent member of her
Majesty's Council in Ceylon, and
has written some Oriental books of
high value. The lady is Miss Lily
Beeby, lady distinguished in her
circle as an artist, but also as be-
ing more beautiful than any picture
she ever painted. No case of inter
marriage between a Hindoo and a
person of the English race seems to
have been known before.

developing an embarrassment of

of the situation is that these grasp

swarmed all over the West in search
of gold and silver, without being
aware of the fact that the hard gran

Tie action of the English House
of Commons in annulling the cleo
tion of John Mitchell, for Tippera-
ry, is likely to lead to grave compi-
cations, The ground on which the
election was nullifed was that Mitch
ell was convicted felon, who had
neither served out his term of pun
ishment nor been pardoned; hence he
was disqualified. To the question
whether Mitchell was liable to re-
arrest and condemnation to serve
out the unexpired portion of his SEN
tenee the law officers of the Gov
ernment replied in the negative, be-
cause more than the fourteen years
to which he had been sentenced
have passed since the sentence was
pronounced.

Victoria Woodruff asserted in an in
terview with a New York Tribune re-
porter, that Tilton frequently visited her
in company with B. F. Butler. OF course
nothing is said about the object OF the
visits. Yet the Boston Journal resents
the statement as an imputation on Gen.
Buffers character, and adds: mo man in
his prryate life is more correct than Gen.
Butler, and whatever else may be said
against him, no charge of this kind viii
be believed by even his enemies, in Mass

times more to be dreaded than a mali

CONE IN 10 GIT MARRIED.n

On last Monday a rural pair drove to Canton In
a carriage and guiding his horse to livery stable,
the young man jumped out and asked II he could
have his horse put up, and when he was Informed
that he could, he spoke to the innocent girl of his
choice and said
"Jist you jump out, Sis and wait till git Doll
fed"
Then turning to a man present he continued!
"Me and Sis come TO town TO git married you
see, and we might rs well do the thing up In big
shape, want this beast stabbed till we git ready
to 60 home; give her hull tub full o grain, cause
she don't often git n chance TO do sich sniptious
job as pullln' new married couple, Say, Is there
any place in town we can geta snack TO eatY
Then the livery man pointed him to the st.
Cloud and told him 1t was u newly reiltted and re-
iurnrihed hotel, and he could get plenty TO eat
there Then he started "lor the big tavern with
his gal, where they attracted attention at dinner
after dinner the young man inquired of agentle-
man:
where's the license oillce2 want to git one,
you know-that is, want to sit marriage H.
cense."
And when he was shown the Probate Office he
marched over and entered the office, where acted
awkwardly few moments and then told his er'
rand.
~ want to git license for to marry gal"
"Al right" said the attendant turning to the rec
ord, what is your name?'
Then the young man told his name with an air
ofprolound pride.
How do you spell your nameT was the next
inquiry.
Then he pondered, scratched his left shin with
his right heel, and said
"Be hanged i'll know exactly haven't thought
on it for so long but it's all right just put it down
the easiest way and thatll suit u.s."
And it was put down the easiest way, and when
he had secured the all important document he
went of rejoicing and returnngto the hotel where
he was married to the anXiousy waiting girl by
Rev. J. c. Layerty of the Episcopal Church.

FIRE At THE AMERICAN HOUSE.

On last Saturday night ut about twelve O'Clock
one of the boarders at the American Hotel took a
lamp from the Office and started to bed on the third
floor; his lamp was one of these small brass con-
Germs, like an oil can, and he made no attempt to
light it until he reached the hall OH the third floor
where he held it to the gas jet incning it at an
angle and as there happened to be- no wick in it,
the oil ran out, and ignited, communicating with
that in the lamp; the boarder dropped,t and yell.
ed fire, as the floor seemed in blaze, and in mo.
ment there were large number of figures sailing
about in undress uniform. One man rushed out
into thehall with his pants, coat &C., over his arm
and in attempting to get to the stairway, he rush
ed through the fire, and becoming confused, could
not find the steps, when he became frantic and
raised great noise. The flames were soon putout
and all became quiet Damage very light

Itiswith much pleasure that we greet the appear
auce of this long expected work from the gifted
pen of our greatest legal commentator. when we
n i5Gze how comparatively few, while exercising
and enjoying their rights and privileges as citizens
of this land of the free" are conversant with the
means by which these benefits are conferred upon
and secured to them we at once feel the necessity
of some method by which this knowledge can be
placed within the reach and comprehension OF all
For this purpose was Rights OF u Citizen written
aud no one can examine its contents and iail TO be
convinced that the author has fully attained his
object.
Prominent among the distinguishing features
of the work, are articles upon the constitution OF
the United States and each of the several states,
the Legislative and Executive branches OF our
Government the right Of citizenship and suffrage,
the writ OF habeas corpus personal security &C.
and a vast fund Of information OF the highest val
ue ueconcerning business transactions ofevery posi-
BILE nature.
The author has avoided the use, as far as posi-
BILE, of the dry phraseoogy OF the law which tends
butto perplex aud embarass the ordinary reader,
but while rejecting the dry husk he presents the
rich kernel of profound legal lore.
We regard the appearance of the work as most
timely, inasmuch as it will fill niche long va

HIGHWAY ROBBERY


On Monday night about twelve o'clock. the ro-
lice were called to the south end of town, at the
residence Of James Gail, where they found Jake
Flora, o! Pike township, with twelve serious holes
and bruises in his head several of which were
very painful. Flora stated that he had been at
Geo, Barhs grocery TO the right OF the road below
the south creek bridge, and from there had gone
across the way to John Perrys saloon and bagniO,
where he remained for time. ON leaving Perry's
about nine o'clock to start up town, when he
reached the bridge just above Perry's he was sud
denly attacked by three unknown men who came
up behind him. he struggled as long as he could,
and succeeded in drawing a knife with which he
asserts he stabbed one Of the men, but they being
three to one and using sling shots and other close
hand weapons, succeeded in battering him terri
bly, and leaving him insensible i'll the road and
probably dead as they doubtless thought Flora
further stated that he must have lain there nearly
two hours before he recovered consciousness and
that he had thirty two dollars when attacked
twenty'seven of which were gone, a detached five
dollar bill remaining on his person lie said he
could not identity the men. nor had he any idea
who they were, The police are diligently at work
trying TO obtain clue to the perpetrators Of this
act, and we sincerely hope they may succeed
That end OftOwn, aud particularly that point just
over the bridge and out Of town, is fast becoming
the most notOriousy bad place in the vicinity and
il it is out Of the jurisdiction of the city authorities
those Of the township should take some action TO
abate the nuisance and remove the evil causes.

CANTON has some remarkably romantic and soft
headed young men; one of this class, whose mind
was clear gone on a third ward girl, rugged him
self up like an Italian brigand, few nights since
and at about eleven o'clock, when all was hushed
and calm, when tired humanity dreamed and
snOred and even bull frogs slept, he walked forth
with guitar under his coat, and proceeded to a
spot beneath the window of the girl he wished to
suffer for, and there eyes rolled heavenward, and
heart humping like steam engine he began to
run his fingers over the musical intestineS of
defunct feline creature, and to sing, Come, love,
come"-but she didn't come worth cent and
contrary to the general rule he didn't even receive
the encouragement often given by the contents of
wash bowl, and finally becoming discouraged,
heswore sadly, and as he left with feeling of re-
morse, he remarked, that if she couldn't appre-
ciate solid compliment in better style than
that, she might go to thunder.
