CuriOsities of MatrimOny.

Matrimony presents here and there
interesting peculiarities. A bridegroom
in Herkimer County, New York, unable
made on the wedding-night, got out of
bed and shot through the window at the
serenaders, wounding three of them. A
Mormon has just married, at one swoop,
a mother and her daughter. Has he a
mother in-law? A miner returned from
California to Michigan to marry the
girl that he had left behind him. He
announced that he was commissioned
also to pick out a girl for his mining
partner and take her to him to wed. Af-
ter careful prospecting he made a choice,
and the chosen damsel has gone with
the welded pair to California to meet
her future husband. Kepler and Ste
vens traded wives in Upton, Iowa, two
years ago, the latter getting 800 on ac-
count of the wife that he gave being far
handsomer than the one he received.
Stevens has since grown wealthy, and
his lawful wife seeks by a lawsuit to re-
instate herself. Sally, Piute princess
in Nevada, married white man and
returned with him to her tribe. The
indignant Indians shaved his head,
whipped him soundly, and drove him
back into civilization. A Troy clergy
man publishes a complaint that the pay
received for marriage services is not
adequate, considering the risk that is
incurred in uniting couples against the
wishes of their families. He says THAI
/ the fees given generally range from one
to five dollars. Recently he rode ten
miles into the country, spent whole
day, paid So for the use of horse, and
received only S1.25.-NeD York Sun.

LORD DERBY announced in the House
of Lords, on the 2Sth, his resignation
from the Cabinet, accompanied by an
explanation of the cause thereof, which
was that ''the Cabinet had arrived at
certain conclusions of grave and i'm
portaht character, in which he was not
able to concur. To prevent needless
alarm, he would say he did not consider
those measures as necessarily tending
to bring about war" Lord Beacons-
field subsequently stated that the meas
ure referred to by Lord Derby was the
calling out of the reserve forces, a mes
sage in reference to which would soon
be laid before Parliament.

der one Surveyor-General, resident at
Washington. There is strong
protest from the Pacific States
against the proposed bill, as be-
ing not only inpracticabie, but
against the public interest in many re-
spects. One member of the Committee
has suggested, that if any change was
made it would be better to turn the pub

are located, and thus avoid the ex-
pense attending the proposed Office, land
which would ultimately render the abo-
lition of the office, with its complicated
practicable.

A SPECIAL tell gram To the Inter Ocean
from Washington says one of the signs
of returning prosperity in this country
is found in The increased immigration
from Europe during the last lew months.
when work was scarce. business dali.
commerce Stagnant in this country. After
the panic immigration began to decrease
very rapidly, and tide of emigration
back TO Europe set i'm, such as never had
been known. Workingmen who v ere
ont of employment here used their say
ings to go back TO the old country,
where, if ''timss" were no better they
certainly were no worse. From 1873
when the number of immigrants was the
largest ever known, the falling off has
been very rapid. until, in the year end
ing June 30, 1878, the aggregate was re.
duced to l3S.469, the smallest number oil
arrivals that have been registered fOi
over twenty years. But in July. Aug
ust and September the increase was very
marked, and the present year will show
large gain over the past four or five
years. In September the arrivals at New
York alone were 16,6SS. against 1l.70t
for the corresponding month last year
and during the three months July, Aug
ust and September. the arrivals wcr.
$4,000, as against 32.O26 arrivals tor the
corresponding period in 1877. The fail
m 'nths are never the most favorable for
immigr .tion. and i'm view OF this increas,
there is expected in the spring larger
number of arrivals than have lanGe in
Anne lea or many years.
