A curious case has recently been tried
In New York by an ecclesiastical court,
appointed by Casdinal McCleskey. 1t
is that of woman who seeks TO have
her marriage, eolemnized in 1859 by
Archbishop Hughes. declared no mar
rage on the ground that the man she
married was g Protestant and the cere-
mony was that prescribed for use when
both parties are Catholics. The app!i
cant is Mrs. James d, Hill, whose hus.
band, at the time Of their marriage was
q very wealthy southerner. Her father
Was also very wealthy, French mer-
chant ofNew Orleans. On the wedding
day, the brides father gave the husband
check for $50 900. The latter tore it up,

the young couple lived happily, srend.

and MIR. Hills sources OF wealth we're
closed. His fathcr-in,!aw wiser than
he, had seen the storm coming, sold out
his southern possessions and betaken
himself to Paris. Mr.. Hill became very
poor, so poor that he could not prov ide

Hill accepted the offer Of q home for
herself and children with her father
In 1874 she began proceedings for di-
vorce in New York 1t was denied on
tho ground that sufficient cause was not
shown. Application in New Jersey
was crowned with success. But Mrs.
Hill was Catholic. Her church for.

French nobleman sought her hand. She
promised to be his wife if the sanction
of the church could lie oltaired. This
could only be secured by showing that
her first marriage was no marriage. -
The lawyers ascertained that Mr.. Hill
was Protestant and that the archbishop
had performed the wrong ceremony. -
The case was laid before Pope Plus TX,
who rcmanded it to Cardinal NcCloskey.

The Earth Not a Graveyard.

The London Daily Telegraph having
recently made the statement that a
moments reflection will teach us that
the whole earth is one huge graveyard,
and that at some period or other human
corpses have been deposited under
every inch of ground we now walk
upon" the London Truth remarks
''that, if a moments reflection teaches
this, a moments arithmetic teaches
that the British territory alone, esti-
mated ut seven millions of square miles,
would give six feet by two to as many
as sixteen and a quarter billions of
human corpses'. This would be
burying-ground for over eight thousand
generations of population of two
thousand millions, which is more than
the earth ever boosted yet. Eight
thousand generations would cover two
hundred and forty thousand years"

/" TILE LOHERS.n

Merrily over the nut-brown face, merrily over
the blonde,
Fit the dimples and chase the smiles, while
the maiden's eyes of blue
With arch sweet glances are turned away lest he
read the answer fond
They give to her lover so bold and bright-her
lover SO proud and true.
There's happy secret somewhere near. and the
birds have found it out.
For they trill rOulades mad and gay when
ever the twain are nigh;
And the perfumed breezes in gossip haste have
whispered 1T round about
To dancing leaves, that hear the tale and in
murmurlng tones reply:
" Somebody loves me, loves me well. love
somebody, too"
Heigh-ho! there is trouble enough in this old
world of ours,
But ever and oft as young hearts weave the idyl
that's always new,
They enter a realm where pleasure reigns, and
their light Feet fall on flowers.
1t may be learned in the pine lands dark, and the
moan of the north wind turns
To q tender song the day, too brief speeds
on its enchanted way;
Or perhaps it is told where the cross of the South
in heaven of sapphire burns,
And sweeter and clearer the bulbul pours
through the palms his bewltching lay.
Still It's the same though remote the climes,
aRd the light of laughing eyes
Shines cheerily forth till cynics shamed for
bear the scornful sheer:
Be they courtly or rustic, lovers walk in the glory
of Paradise
Two of them only in all the earth to the two
who have grown 50 dear.
Chin against cheek, and the sunny hair brushing
the black with its gold
Fun overbrlmming from innocent souls; the
strong and the slender hand
Meeting and clasping in loyal troth how plain is
the history told
We smile at the picture and wish them joy as
the poisoning years expand.

Henry Clay's Wife.

Mr.. George Ranck writes in the Lex
ington Transcript: What Ashland
would have been but for Mrs. Clay,
the good Lord only knows, for her hus-
band was at the Capital of the nation
more than half his time. She attended
to everything, including five sons, who,
according to their old teacher, Amos
Kendall, were not the meekest of the
lambs that gamboled at Ashland.
She managed the farm with its crops
and live stock, her household affairs, u
large family of children, and not few
negro servants, so well as to assist
largely in keeping up Mr.. Clay's fort
une, which was constantly subjected to
heavy drains. She often pulled the
finest of her vegetables with her own
hands, and sent them, with butter,
milk and fruit regularly to market to
be sold. She often said: "My children
laugh at me for selling such things,
but they never object to the money L
get for them" Her treatment of her
slaves will be judged from her custom of
rewarding them at the close of the
week in proportion to their industry
and good conduct. Saturday evening
at Ashland, with the "darkies' was
synonymous with Mrs. Clays business
table covered with little piles of silver
money. She was always kept well
posted about her husbands business
and private affairs, and she was so
"spunky' that Mr.. Clay always con-
suited her before fighting duel. The
wife of "the great commoner'' cared
nothing for general and fashionable
society and it was fortunate, under the
circumstances that she did not.
