The Marriage of Great Men.

Robert Burns married farm Cir
with whom he fell in love while they
worked together in a plowed field.
He was irregular in his life,and COM
mitted the most serious mistakes in
conducting his domestic affairs.
Milton married the daughter of a
country squire, and lived with her
but a short time. He was an austere
literary recluse, while she was a
rosy, romping country lass that
could notsendure the restraint impos-
ed upon her so they separated.
Subsequently she returned and they
lived tolerably happy.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert,
cousins, and about the only example

wherein the martial vows were sa-
credly observed and sincere affection

Shakespeare loved and welded a
farmers daughter, She was faithful
TO her vows but we can hardly say
the same of the bard himself. Like
most of the great poets, he showed
too little discrimination in bostowing
his affections on the other sex.
Washington married q woman
with two children. 1t is enough to
say she was worthy of bin, and they
lived as married people should live
in perfect harmony with each
other,
John Adams married the daughter
OF a Prcsby terrain clergyman. Her

John Howard, the great philan~

altogether beneath him in social life
and intellectual culture, and, besides
this, was fif,y-f@o years old, while
he was but twenty-five. He would

they were married and lived happily
uLtil she died, which occurred two
years afterward.
Potter the Grea', 81 Russia, married

Who Shall be Chairman 2

The people in different parts of
the State are looking for success
or to Mr.. Reyes as Chairman OF the
Republican Central Committee. Mr..
Keyes has had the place long enough
and unless there is more money in
it than there is 10 the Madison Z. y.
will not want it again. Our ex-
changes have named A. j. Turner
who is active, polite and no doubt
willing. Horace Rublee has also
been frequently named in that con-
nection. 1t is place of much I'M.
portance to the Republican party.
A man should be selected who will
hold the differing elements of the
party together and set them bat
Ting in united army against their
foes. 1t will be no easy matter to
lead the party to success now. We
must choose leader not objection
able to any genuine Republicans.
Without intimating any objection
to either of the above named gent
lemen we would suggest as very
proper man for the place the Hon.
j. NJ. Rusk. He is man well
known throughout the State-known
to be a sound Republican, honest,
energetic and We believe is not in
any way identified with any single
element of the party. He was a
member of the National Committee
whore bis prudence and efficiency
have been proved. We do not now
think of any other man who would
infuse greater strength into the
party than Mr.. Rusk.

Put them to Work.

There are q great many tramps in
the country. Some of them are poor
and can't help themselves. Such
would work if they could get work,
and they would not complain if put
TO work. Others are lazy, thieving
fellows and ought to be compelled to
work. The Legislature last winter
passed law by which persons fined
for vsgrsncy, drunkenness and kin
dred misdemeanors, when unable to
pay the fine, may be made to work it
out. The following is copy of the
law:
CHAPTER dissection L. Section of chap
ter So os the general laws of 1889, is hereby
amended so as to read as follows: "When>
ever any person shall hereafter be convicted
in any court of this State, of vagraney, drunk
enness, or of any criminal offense, and SEN
fenced to Imprisonment in the county Jail, the
court nav also sentence such persons to be
kept at hard labor during the term of his or
her IMPRISONMENT, either within or without
the Jail. as hereinafter provided and aH per-
sons who shall hereinafter be convicted of any
offense. in any court of this state, and SEN
fenced to pay fine. and shall, IN defsa alt of
nayment in such fine, be committed to Jail,
NAV. during the term of such imprisonment
for default of payment of such flne, be sen.
fenced to be kept at hard labor
By the old law which this section
amends the Board of Supervisors
must make some regulations by which
the new law can be enforced.

the weight is so unfamiliar to com.

the battle of the Boyne. A riot was an
ticipated at Montreal, and at the re-
quest of the city authorities the
Orangemen did not parade but quiet

there was a chance. In Montreal
they killed an Orangeman named
Hackett and on Monday last the

A NATURALIST walks boldly to the
front and announces that the preser-
walton of Jonah in the whales belly
was not miracle. The throat of the
whale is large, and provided with a
bag or intestine, so considerable in
size, that whales frequently take into
it two of their young ones when weak,
and especially during tempest. As
this receptacle is furnished with two
vents that serve for inspiration, it is
claimed that Jonah could have lived
there comfortably, and with reason
able amount of furniture, for many
years, provided he could obtain food
and drink.
