Good Enough for Anyone,

Passi ng down the street Saturday
evening our friend Mr.. l.. Lewenthal
hailed us and said: "You look like an
editor who had failed to collect from de.
linquent subscribers. To morrow is
Sunday and you will go to church. Your
hat is shady. Try this one-a Tilden
chapeau." We yielded to his entreaties.
If any of our friends want such a hat as
We wear they are hereby Informed that
Lewenthal has many more like it, as
vel as a general stock of staple dry
goods and groceries, such as boots and
shoes, prints, domestics, canned goods,
meats, ard. -four, meal, moissses, bag
ging, ties, hardware, queensware. etc
His stock is being replenished daily,
and all in noel of staple articles should
not forget him. Lewenthal is a liberal
gentleman, and deserves his large trade.

Nj. PArton's Marital DifKculties.

A pIsrArcH of the 9th inst. from
Boston SAYS that Governor Rice has
vetoed the bin legaIizing the mar
riage of James Parton With his step
daughter. Mr.. Parton, as will be
remembered, United in marriage with
the daughter Of Fannie Fern. his
deceased wife, about a year ago,
Soon after the ceremony was peg
formed lthe next day, We belieye). he
discovered or was informed BY friends
that the union WAS IN violation Of the
laws of the State, Accordingly he
quit his hom6 and took apartments
at a hotel. The 'oaly remea Y n;as in
special act Of the Legislature, he
perceived at once, and made applica-
ton AZ its first session, with the re-
suit as given. The Governor took
the ground in this veto that the Leg
islature Lad NO, constitutional right
10 grants privilege of that kind.
And now, unless the bill pass over
the Governors veto, MT. Parton must
go elsewhere to unite with the Object
of his love. Most States have laws
strict. prohibiting eoRsanguinary
marriages, although some tolerate
them in the union of full cousins.
But there is nothing consanggiaary
in the marriage which Mr.. Parton
prays that the Legislature shall le-
galize. Each is descended from q
different line Of ancestry. She is the
daughter Of his deceased wife by a
former husband, and there Is no
blood common 70 bath OF them.
While Mr.. Parton's taste and iudg-
ment may Be severely criticised, there
Is nothing about his marriage which
should. discard with the sensibflities
of rightninded people. The case
of Wilson, the sewing machine man
who had his wife sent TO ionstit
asylum, obtained y divorce, and af
ierwrds married Ter danyhtef, ha.
not passed out Of recollection. tn,
marriage took place in. Cleveland
Ohio, and was perfectly legal, al
though society cast whitening frowr
Apen Mr. Wilson for the manner IL
which he put his wife away. Mr.
Parton has done nothing dishonors
bic, although yhat be did was tech
E'cally illegal.

are said to be in starving condition
and ON the verge of an outbreak
What class of humanity would MOI,
be on the verge of an outbreak when
the papgs of hunger fire the natural
instinct! Everybody knows that our
management of the wild savagcs of
the forest has been a disgrace TO
civilization ever since it began. We
read recently that local agent
somewhere was removed solely to
turn the souls of the indians over TO
the Campbcliite denomination OF
Christians to be forwarded to Heaven
BY their route. This Is simply tri-
fling with the red men. We all
know that an Indian has ten cares for
his body to one for his soul. All he
wants is grub and blankets. He has
no use for abstract theology. We
are glad to know that the Indian
Bureau has been transferred 10 the
War Department. Better results
NAV come hereafter.

mainsiwith themselves. II is to be
hoped that they are perfectly legiti-
pate and honorable,
