An INTERMEDIATE HUSBAND Among Mos
lens divorce is even simpler than among the
Jews. No ''bill of iivorcement is necessary,
but only the short verbal formula of "Veil

wife may be thus repudiated twice and
taken back, but if the fatal formula have been
pronounced d third time. she eau only be re-
covered after a fully consummated marriage
with and divorce by another husband. This
latter condition sometimes results in awkward
coHtretemps. The person chosen to play the
part of intermediary husband Is generally
the Oldest and feeblest poo man that can
be found. For consideration, he con
sents to discharge the provisional function,
and engages TO divorce the lady on the NOR
row. But II occasionally happens that the
faithiess old sinner, having pocketed and
earned his fee, refuses TO surrender pretty
and wealthy bride or only does so after a
much longer usufruct than was bargained for,
and for further considerable money ran
som As may readily be supposed, such a
condition and its incidents have weight with
even the hastiest-tempered husbands, and CO.
act with other considerations TO protect wives
against the risk Of talak (repudiatiOn) except
for grave and sufficient reasons. Certain it is
that, barring in such cases, divorces are now
quite as rare among the moslem among
the Christian subjects ofthe Porte. and hun
dred times less common than among our
more civilized selves. Before the Cali.

SENATOR EDguSDs has a clear and logical
article in the January number Of the North
American Rerietg, on the matter of the
fishery award, analyzing the evidence col
lected by the commission and accounting
for the action on both sides The Senator
evidently is of the idea that the United
States hardly received just treatment in
the affair. as he also is that England and
Canada have precisely the same feeling
with reference to their own case. He con-
tends that as regards the validity of the
award. international law lays down no
other rule than that in the absence of eI.
press provisions to the contrary, the
powers Of arbitrators are to be measured
by the principles of ordinary procedure Of
the nations concerned. This would render
an award invalid without the consent of

the burdens of the people, giving at
the same time absolute security TO-
tho rights and property of all. Upon
these paramount issues we cordially
in nvite the cooperation Of every
Democrat and Republican who is
ecrnest and willing to unite with us
in this great work.
We recommend to the favorable
consideration of the Convention the
following named resolutions, and re-
Commend that the same do pass,
namely: the resolution offered by
Mr.. Buist, of Charleston, in relation
to the unity of the Democratic party
to wit:
"Resolved, That the unity and in~
tegrity OF the Democratic party is of
param, mt importance to the success
of our cause and the welfare OF our
peole i'll the ensuing election, and we
repudiate all fusion or coalition with
the Republican rarty, and most un-
qualitiedly condemn any Independ-
ent movement whatever, as inimical
to the people and destructive OF their
interests ard welfare,
We recommend that the resolution
offered by Mr.. Aiken be laid on the
table, and offer as a substitute, there.
for the following:
"Resolved, That for the develop,
ment of our growth as people, aud
OF our resources as a State, a bureau
# immigration and agriculture
should be established, having for its
object the encouragement of and
holding out inducements to, honest
and industl ious emigrants from
other countries to settle among us,
and designed to stimulate increased
and improved production of what
ever may be grown upon our soil;
and we recommend to the General
Assembly the speedy enactment of
such laws as will found such bu-
reau upon a permanent and practical
basis, and provide for it's ready and
active operation, to the attainment Of
this desirable end"
Resolved, That this Convention
views with the deepest concern the
troubles which have arisen in tho up
per portion of the State in the en-
forcement of the exercise laws of the
United States, relating to the Illicit
distilling Of whiskey, and is extremely
solictous that this subject should be
fairly considered by Congress, and
some law devised in amendment of or
supplementary to, the present system,
that will remove tho existing Causes
OF irritation, alleviate tho present
troubles of our. people, insure obcdi-
cnco by virtue of q recognition of the
justice Of the laws, and to restore
peace and quiet whore disaontent
now rcigns; and, as preliminary to q
change of these laws, we invoke his
Excelloncy, R. B. Hayes, President OF
the United Stases, to extend amnesty
unto all persons in tho State who
have violated them.
Resolved, That this Convention
commends with entire appreciation
tho course which has been pursued
in the late session. of Congress by our
distinguished State State Senator, the
Hon. M Q. Butler, as well as by his
| Democratic colleagues, the Hon. d.
Wyatt Aiken and the Ho,.. j. H.
Evins; in the House of Representa-
tivee; and the State now calls upon
them in their respective spheres of
duty to exert their influence and

ton OF the exercise laws, and secure
for our people the relief which is so
much needed and sought for.
