From the st. john IN. B.) news.
Miss Maria RoOp was married i'm
Boston on Saturday last under the fol-
lowing circumstances: Captain ROOp,
q distant relative, who sails an English
ship, visited Mr.. John Roop's a few
weeks ago, on'his way to Peterborough,
". s., and met his fate in the person of
the young lady who is now his wife.
He returned to New York and began
to load for Java. Hewrote to her, and
proposed that she meet him in Boston
the nextweek, marry him and sail for
Java. His boat was on the shore aud
his bark was ON the sea, or loading mt
tile wharf, and she must decide mt
once. The letter was received In the
morning, and had not been read more
than n kalf.dozen times (such letters
require agreat deal Of reading, It seems)
when u despatch was received, to the
following effect:' "Please answer my
letter by .telegraph-yes or no." Any
girl can promptly say yes or no to the
offer Of t. band and heart, but
when such. =, offer Is coupled
with three days notice of marriage
and a. sea. voyage TO the East Indies
the case requires little more c0nsid'
Grafton. So she took time to consider,
and added strength to the saying that
the woman who considers Is lost, for,
when the afternoon of the same day
brought her another despatch. which
was simply Yes or noW she went u
the telegraph Office and wrote Eyes y
on q blank. The operator, knowing
nothing of the vast Importance Of that
monosylla message, placed It on
file for transmission, and the most
anxious man In New York was soon
made happy by the reception. The
lady left here on Friday morning la,
and met and married the captain u
the residence of q relative I'm Boston,
Their wedding tour will be q long one
around the world, but not in eighty
days.

Cars, Etc.
On Saturday last the Supreme Court
Of the State, in the fve-cent street rail-
way company case Of ClouGh VS.. the
Memphis City Railway Company, the
court ordered a reargument Of the case
at the next term of the court, which con-
venes in April next. The case was de-
cided by Judge Heiskell, of the Shelby
county Circuit Court, in favor Of the
constitutionality Of the five cents fare
act Of the legislature, and it was taken
up as an agreed east to the Supreme
Court, Judge James o. Pierce, of this
city, made an exhaustive and very able
argument before the Supreme Court in
favor Of the legislative act reducing the
fare to FIVE cents. His brief in the case
for the defendant in error, Clough, is a
learned one, full Of citations Of authori-
ties sustaining the constitutionality Of
the legislative enactment. The FIVE
cents fare ia the legal fare at present, and
will be forever, unless the Supreme Court
at It's next term should decide otherwise.
While referring to this subject in
which the people are 80 much interested
it may be well to notice the fact that in
all the cars Of the company the words
Fare ten cents" yet remains painted on
the fare-box. This should be painted
out, as the legal fare is not ten but five
cents. Another placard adorns the mule
boxes-a notice which does great injus-
tice TO the hard working drivers who
ought not to be suspected Of or published
as being thieves. The notice runs as fol-
lows; Fifty dollars reward will be
paid to any person who will secure the
arrest and conviction Of any employe
or other person for stealing money or
tickets from this company" This notice,
containing a reflection on the honesty of
the oompauy's drivers and other en-
ployes, should be taken down. Passsn.
gers are not detectives nor do they wish
to be.
