A MARRIAGE QUEsuoN.-The bill to per-
nit MARI lage, with deceased "lte,s sister has
been again defeated by the English House OF
illustration of the rooted hold which antiquated
prejudces have in England. The aspect in
which the opponents of the bill are placed is
shown by the argument of the Saturday Re
view, that if it should pass, the next step
would be to allow man to marry his mother
in-law or his step-mother The idea in this
country, however, rather tends to escaping
from such parties than marrying them.
