PRESENT STATUS OF THE ENTERPRIsE.
Encouraged by this action of the
Government, and sustained by the MUM
fcent liberality of Philadelphia and the
State of Pennsylvania, the Centennial
Commission and the Board Of Finance
are progressing with the work Of prep
aration in manner that promises well
for its timely completion.
The City Council of Philadelphia ap-
l,ropriated $4,000 to pay the expenses
Of the Commission. The Commissioners
of Paramount Park decided to the Gen.
tennial Commissioners 450 acres Of the
most beautiful part of their Park for the
uses of the Exhibition, free Of cost. The
State of Pennsylvania appropriated one
million dollars, and the city of Phila-
delphia five hundred thousand dollars &c

SOMETHING.

Sometime, when all life's lessons have been
learned, 19 hslttlttR
And sun and stars for evermere have set,
The things which our weak judgments here have
spurned. 20 A
The things Ger which We g.ieTed with lashes
wet, 4at N ss tsk4
VIII flash before US, out Of lifes dark night, So
AS stars shine mos in deeper tints of blue; 70
And we shall see how all Gods plans we're right .
And how what seemed reproof was love most
true. I
And we shall see how, while we frown and sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you and me;
How. when we called. He needed not orr cry,
Because His wisdom to the end could see.
And cen as prudent parents disallow
Too much of street. to craving babyhood,
So God, perhaps, is keeping from US now
Life's sweetest things because it seemeth good.
And if, sometimes, commingled with LIES wine,
We find the wormwood, and rebel and shrink,
Be sure wiser hand than yours or mine last
Pours out this potion for our lips to drink,
And if some friend we love is lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
Oh, do not blame the loving Father so,
But wear your sorrow with obedient grace
And you shall shortly know. that heightened
breath ~ 3 Mt #i ~
Is not the sweetest gift God sends His friend,
And that sometimes the sable pail of death ]
Conceals the fairest boon Els love can send. Z
If we could push ajar the gates Of life, Va
And stand within. and all God S workings see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find key! it0a
But not to-day. Then be content, poor heart IS
Gods plans like lilies pure and white unfold.
We must not tear the clcseshut leaves apart, s,
Time will reveal the calyxes OF gold. as4
And if, through patient toll, we reach the land
Where tired feet, With sandals loose, may rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand,
think that we, will say, ''God knew the bestf!r

INDIANA ssLoyE-MARRIAGE" De-

INDIANA ''LoyE-MARRIAGE" De-
cIsIoN.-Judge Chapman rendered
a decision in Indianapolis IN the
case Of The People VS.. j, r. Buell.
ana Susan r. Gilbert, indicted for
fornication. The defendants took out
license, and in presence of certain
witnesses and themselves, solemnlz-
ed q ceremony Of marriage and took
each other for husband and wife, re-
spectively. The only portion of the
formula used by the defendants in
that portion Of the ceremony to which
an exception was taken, was that
embraced in the words, $50 long as
the union Of love and life shall last"
The defendant Buell. testified that he
believed, at the time Of making his
marriage contract with Miss Gilbert,
that it was legal marriage, and he
further testified, in answer TO cross
Iinterroga:ories by the States coun-
| sci, that Miss Gilbert stated at the
time that she believed it TO be legal.
The parties agreed to assume the
relations of husband and wife, with
all that these terms implied, with
this proviso:
| WHEREAS, The courts Of law have decided that
marriage is civil contract and governed by the
same rules as all other contracts, therefore we
force during our physical lives, provided our mu-
tual love natures blend as now, but TO terrnl
nate without prejudice by the wish OF either party
! if our loVe shall ever cease to be mutual, which
| event we trust end believe never will occur.
It was claimed that the marriage
was not legally solemnized, and that,
therefore, the parties were living in
open violation Of the law; but Judge
Chapman held the marriage, al
though irregular, to be valid, since
the parties themselves believed it to
be so, and lived together as husband
and wife. The Judge. in conclud-
ing his decision, said: 81 conclude
that the defendants contracted valid
marriage, such contract as can only
be dissolved by death or decree of a
competent court; that their agree
ment to dissolve The contract by their
own consent, in case their respective
love natures failed to harmonic, is
| in law void, and in morals vicious;
that if the parties should act under
this stipulation For termination of
the marriage contract, and therefore
enter into similar marriage contract
and relationship with other parties,
they would be guilty Of bigamy; and
that good morals and sound political
ethics, as well as the statute law,
require that they shall be held firm
/ " to the marriage contract they have
assumed, and to all the duties and
responsibilities the law attaches
thereto; and, therefore, chat the par
ties ar not guilty as charged in the
indictment"
The case has attracted considera-
BILE attention, and the decision IS
considered to be important.

The Centenniaf, or the One Hundredth
Anniversary of the Declaration Of our
National Independence. 4
After much discussion Of the subject
through period of years, in which dis
tinguished citizeEs and the press of the
country have taken part, Congress, in
1871, gave expression to the prevailing
sentiment, in an act declaring. that lit
behooves the people of the United
States TO celebrate, by appropriate cere-
monies, the centennial anniversary of
the memorable and decisive event which
constituted the Fourth of July, Anno
Donain6 i776,the birthday of the nation

mankind, in compa rison with those of
other nations;" that "no place is SO sp-

city in which occurred the event it is
designed to commemorate that "the
exhibition should be national celebra-
tion, in which the people of the whole
country should participate" and
"should have the sanction of the Con
gress of the United States" ae
In pursuance of this declaration, Con-
.gress in the same act, made provision
for the appointment, by the Presidents,
of National Centennial Commission to
represent the several states and terri

Of conducting the enterprise to success,
