after landing. on one Of the Canaries,
presented q petition to the Spanish Gov.
ernment to the effect that he might be
permitted to purchase food but that
officer, ipfamed by national animosity,
cruelty threw him into dark and damp
dungeon, and kept him there without
pen, ink or paper, on the accusation
that he was spy. Being thus utterly
without means of making his case known,
he contrived another way of communi-
eating with the external world. One
account has it that he concealed a pen:
ciled note in loaf of bread which fell
into the hands of the British consul

of charcoal on ship biscuit and sent ii

THE LOFEZ OIVO1CE 0UYT.

In the suit Of Mrs. Joseph Lopex. former
ly Miss Georgiana Morrison, in the New
York Supreme Court, for divorce from her
husband, the divorce was granted. In de.
livering the opinion of the Court Judge Van
Brunt said "I do not think 1t is necessary
for me to spend any more time on this case.
Il is proper that I should compliment the
counsel for the defendant for the manner
in which they conducted the examination
OF the plaintiff. The temptation, no doubt,
vas strong to act in a manner other than
they did, but they acted in a most GENTLE
manlike way throughout. The defendant In
this suit has clearly sworn falsely in regard
20 the subject Of the contamination Of the
marriage. Applying the rule of false In
one thing false in everything to his case, it
is necessary to throw out all of his testimony.
There is very little reliance either to be
placed on the plaintiffs testimony; she
acted more like q child Of twelve than O
woman of twenty-four, and undoubtedly
h swore to what she know to be false she
contradicted herself and was often discon-
nected. The statutes provide a., that .
marriage may be annulled on the showing Of
fraud on the part Of either party and ~,
that a marriage may not be annulled on the
ground of fraud, when there has been yolun-
tary cohabitation. Arecent amendment fur
Their provided that q marriage might be an
nulled on the ground of fraud, even IL there
had been cohabitation, and even IL there had
been issue, provided that the party suing
did not know of the fraud. The testimony
shows us that Lopez wanted n stake; , that
he was going for money and nothing else;
that he never intended to do anything else
except to extort money. Mr.. Gillette stated
hat he heard a conversation between Lopez
and Bolan, during which Lopez spoke about
being solid with the girl, and hoping to
get $4,000 to buy q livery stable. This tes-
tiInony seems to show that the object of
Lopez in marrying the girl was simply for
the purpose Of making a stake He mar
ried the girl clandestinely, and his whole
conduct argues against his good intentions.
IL seems to me that the evidence in this
case shows that Lopez never had any l.. en-
ton Of entering into the marital relation
bonn fide his scheme wal to get into tho
family and make money. The consent Of
the plaintiff was clearly gained by fraud,
and she is as clearly entitled to the annul.
ment Of the marriage for which she asks"
The decision was received with an out
burst Of applause, which was promptly sup
pressed, and before adjourning the Court,
Judge Van Brunt committed Lopez to the
Tombs for perjury. He was Immediately
arrested n locked up to await the action
Of the Grand Jury, Judge Van Brunt say
ing that he had no doubt he would be con-
yicted.

THE BUILDING CT. 1RoN-cLADs.

One of the most complex problems with
which science and ingenuity have to deal
at the present day is the construction and
equipment of n ship-of-war; it is all the
more so because the experience Of recent
warfare has thrown little or no light upon
many of the conditions which are involved
in the subject, and because we are compar-
atively in the dark as to the effect which
will be produced by existing weapons in q
nava battle. The rivalry between guns
and amor plates still continues ; as the guns
get larger he plates become thicker, but
the advantage lies with the weapon. The
100-ton gun of the Italians has crashed
through the go inches of iron with which
their ships are to be sheathed; and guns
still more powerful arc in contemplation.
There are not wanting thoughtful men
who consider that the time has come to
abandon the costly and weighty armor
which in%cumbers the sides of our ships,
and can be so easily pierced but this step
has not been taken, and the armor still in
creases in thickness, though its application
has been modified. The qualities necessary
for a fighting ship are many and diverse,
and if we discuss them one by one we shall
more easily see the difficulties which beset
the ship builder and the engineer; but
these several qualities are SO interdepend-
emit that they cannot be entirely dlssociateu,
nor is it easy to assign the relative values
which they bear one to another-indeed as to
this there is q considerable difference Of opin.
ion. For example, speed is one of the chief
requirements for q war-ship, since without it
she can neither follow up and bring to ac-
ton IN unwilling antagonist nor avoid a
battle il oyer-matched yet, when in pres
ence Of q foe of equal strength, it becomes
Of less importance than hardness. Again,
a high rate of speed involves large engine
and boiler space, and consequently g pro-
portionate restriction in the coal stowage,
or, in other words, the ability to keep at
sea. So, also, the offensive power Of q ship
is enhanced by o certain height of gun plat
form, but beyond a proper limit the stabili-
ty may be compromised while, on the
other hand, the great weight which has to
be carried tends to prevent that limit being
attained. The speed of q ship lies in her
boiler-power ; the engines are but the
means of giving effect to that power. And
in order to curtail as far as possible the
necessarily large space taken up by the boil
ers, they are now made for q pressure 10
times as great as that used % years ago.
The necessity of guarding from injury the
motive power, and the terrible effects which
would result from the escape of such high
pressure steam render it imperative that all
parts of the machinery should be us far a.
possible put of the reach of projectiles.

THE RUSSIAN MANNER OF DOING IT.

They have a singular kind of dance con.
Quoted on the greens OF country villages in
Russia. The dancers stand apart, a knot
of young men here, q Knot of maidens
there, each sex by itself, and silent as II
band of mutes. A piper breaks into q tune
. youth pulls off his cap, and challenges his
girl with a wave and n bow. If the girl ID
willing she waves her handkerchief in token
of assent ; the youth advances, takes n cor
Ger of the kerchief in his hand, and leads
his lassie round anil round. No word is
spoken, and no laugh is heard. Stiff with
.ords and rich with braids, the girl movcs
heavily by herself, going round and round,
and never allowing her partner to touch
DER hand. The pipe goes droning on for
hours in the same sad key and measure,
and the prize of merit in this "%circling,"
,s the dance is called, is given by the spec.
.ators to the lassie who, in all that summer
;cvelry, has never spoken and never smiled.

AUDRAIN,s PRIDE.


From an article in tae Commercial
Times, written from Washington.
We extract the following eulogy on
Judge Backner, of Mexico:
This leads me to notice particularly
that Hon. Aylett Hawes Buckner,
chairman of the committee On bank
ing and currency. Judge Buckner
represents the 18th district of Mis-
souri,. He is now serving his third
term, and was elected the last time
by IA, 900 majority, the largest ma
jority that any man oh the floor OF
the house can boast.
Judge 3uckner is one ofthe wheel
horses Of the house. He has studied
the finance question to the bottom
and understands it thoroughly. He
appreciates the enormous tribute the
people are paying to the currency
thinkers and is determined to do his
utmost to relieve them of that great
burthen.
Judge Buckner is q, native of Fred
ericksburg (Va.,) and was educated
at Georgetown and the University OF
Virginia. After he received his edu-
[~cation he taught school for sometime.
After he had completed his profess
ional studies he emigrated to Mis-.
souri, and settled in Pike county. He
established the reputation at once.
and maintains it till this day, of be-
ing an honest and clear-headed law
yer. His habits and morals are un'
exceptionable. There is not in Wash
lington q more exemplary christian
gentleman. Like Gabe Bouck, he II
always approachable and there is nj
trouble in the people of his state get
ting at him when they come to Wash
tington. Judge Buckner will proba
] bly be a candidate for the UniteC
States Senate in 1879, and iron
present appearances with a stronI
probability of an election. He woul'
make an admirable senator. He /
of and with the people and could NO
be turned from them by any bland
lshments OF power or appears 10 Iii
avarice.
;, If the senate were full of sue
men as Judge Buckner til
plundering of the tpeasur
would be less frequent, and the oour
try be largely the gamer. Beside
by their excellent habits, and unsu
lied character q purer and better a
mosphere would circulate in the senat
chamber, and at night sessions few
would be be smitten with vertigo, {
practice drunkenness as a remedy II
asthma.
|, Strange as it may seem the primo
pal opposition Judge Buckner wi
have to encounter in his state will

who prefer to help elect Nations
Bank republicans to the legislatul
, instead of greenback democrats.

We notice quj. a number of our

the claims of ills gentleman for a
seat in the United States Senate.
Gov. Harfn made a model Cover
nor, andre feel well assured he would
make eually as good aSenator. To
our mad, the state never had a bet

He's q gentleman sincerely devoted
the peoples interests. without any
~jiesire to gain popularity at the ex-
pense Of principle. He Is q splendid
lawyer, a gentleman Of strictly moral
bearing, and as free from objection
rs any man in the state. He would
reflect honor upon the state, in the
senate, and take a position among
the most elevated members of that
body. We know of no gentleman in
the state upon whom we would rather
see the mantle of q. s. Senator fall
than Hon. Chas. III. Hardin.

Men create laws.
Law creates money, and whateve
