THE CANADIAN COURT.

Unprecedented exploits of hunkeyism may be an
hcipated in Canada during the residence there of
the present VIcerOy and his amiable Princess. The
social heart-burnIngs and strifes for precedence,
the confusion and reOrdinance OF established sys-
tens Of etiquette, and all the austere and peremp-
tory rectifcatiOns of social ceremonial which 20
" ia the footsteps of Royalty, will be likey TO in
truduce elements of disorder, at least of Caukcr
ing nquictudc in the affairs Of the Dominion, which
the cevcrest statCsmanshIp of the Marquis can
hardly mitigate pacify. Private manifestations
Of the sort have not yet bad time to assert them
selves but the preliminary strains OF municipal elo
uuence with which the new corners have been
greeted Indicate tho extremity of official emo
ton. and give signs on the part of the ora
tors of tendency toward moral col
lapse. Those mighty fabrics of intellect
which the Canadians crown with tho COrinbian
capitals of municipal authority to toter IN the
presence OF Royalty, aud melt IN Its beams like
snow images in the sun. The eloquence of mayors
and aldermen has in all ages been ranked among
the most curious productions of the human mind
and that Of the beltcd and roscttcd syndics Of the
Dominion which has thus far been reported moults
no feather in comparison with any of the known
forthgvnRs of the prefectorial muse. 1t is of
Ciceronian gloss and lustre in comparison th that
wherewith certain magistrate of Dover sauted
Queen Elizabeth, causing the peremptory Royal
Virgin to drop into poetry with the curt command:
" You great oOl
Get of that stool"
As Rufus Cboate on certain forensic occasion
complained that his adversary overworked the par
ticple it may perhaps be said that the magistrates
of the Dominion push the terms of adulat ton lit
tie further than they need to do but then the occa-
sion is u great one, and they cannot be seriously

The heirs Of the prehistoric Dutchman who have
just discovered that they hold valid title TO tho
hourishIng village of Harlem, would do graceful

waiting and the Anneke Jams family have not yet
recovered their own Manhattan Island from the
sons of the squatters who took possession of it.
The sluggish processes of the law have not yet
stored RIncon Hill, and all the most desirable por-
tons of San Francisco, to the people who own them

Orleans but St. Louis, another valuable piece Of
real estate which belongs to her, has not yet been
formally transferred to her. Philadelphia is yet
withheld from the surviving Pegs, and Chicago
from the Fort Dearborn Reservation man. In
short, the courts are already full of people
struggling TO get hold of what belongs to them and
if the owners of Harlem would only wait while
they would give the senior claimants a

and Dust the obdurate squatters who are
lighting them. And tho Harlem people can

admitted when they produce the records which

We publish this morning timely and interesting
letter from DIR. S. Wells Williams, which gives
much information in detail respecting the late
famine in China and the foreign relief which was so
literally forwarded. Careless readers may know
that there has been scarcity of food and great
mortality as ITS consequence in China; but when
the number is roundly estimated at seven millions
five millions in the single province of Shansi-it
will be felt how extraordinary was the calamity. A
like mortality in many countries could have no
other result than that Of their depopuiatiOn.
1t is peasanter to turn from the con-
temptation of all this misery to that OF the active
henevoence exhibited for its relief in this and other
countries. DIR. Williams writes particularly to as
sure contributors in this country that their dona-
tons have been carefully bestowed upon the suffer
ers. The amount of aims sent from our Eastern
States was $685. $40 from October, 1877, TO Noyem-
Der, 1878. Particular thanks are due to Messrs.
Olyphant a. Co. and 10 Messrs. A. A. Low & Bros.
for their liberal cooperation. the facts of which will

General Buffers plan of forming a new
Democratic party, which shall be I" the special
champion of human rights, out of the pres
ent Democratic party, is in the highest degree
timely, coming right on the heels of the South
Carolina election. When that has been done
the Forty Thieves should rise from their
graves and found new religion.
The reported failure of the West of Eng
land Bank will give another shock to
British credit, especially if Its accounts
are found to be in anything like the
disorder which those of the Glasgow Bank
presented. Losses in the iron business are,
however, a more satisfactory explanation
for this failure than the Indian speculatiOns
of the Scotch concern.
General Grant has decided to see Asia from

This will bring him back to this country
Just about six months before the National

early enough to allow him to use his in

By this time it has become generally under
stood that Charleston County, in South Caro-
Ina, is the banner county OF the Republic for
election frauds. A letter from a staff cOrre-
spOndent gives the details of these crimes
against the suffrage, and shows that, In spite
of all the oppressive laws passed and wrong

votes, the chivalrous Democracy were still

turn seems TO have come in the tide of
immigration. The figures show a consider
able increase over those of last year. whereas
heretofore they have fallen off steadily every
year since the effects of the panic began
20 make themselves felt. For eleven
months of the present year the number is
72.147, against $1,000 for the same period
last year, and 65,s2O for the same period
in the year before. This year is therefore
an improvement upon 1876, as well
as upon 1874 fact which affords ground
for encouragement in the prospect that this
enriching tide will rise with the growth of
better times.

THE WIFE. A MINEH WANTS.

A gentleman travelling between Pueblo
and Kansas City was engaged in conver.
sation by a very intelligent but rough.
looking miner, who had been for four years
an adventurer in the San Juan country,
and who had ''struck it RICH" He made no
secret of the fact.that his visit to- certain
town in Michigan was for the purpose of
marrying the girl he left behind him, for
whose future comfort he had built and
furnished house high upNamong the snow
clapped mountains of Colorado He had
left in San Juan q partner, whom he de-
scribed as ''sqhare man as ever struck
drill," with whom he had constantly la
bored three long years as prospeotors, and
with whom he now jointly held one. of the
most valuable properties in their district.
Jim, too, desired to 60 East, but their
mutual interests made it impossible; he
didn't know any one in particular East,
but then he wanted to 60. Jim was rather
bashful, reticent man, and did not like
to tell even his partner the real purpose of
his coveted visit; but upon the eve of the
departure of the latter, the purpose of
whose visit was known, Jim made the re-
quest, in dead earnest, that he bring him
a wife. "Will you do it ?" he was asked.
"Do it, you bet!" "Had he any instruc-
tions to give in regard to the selection ?"
eyes, he said, Harry, bring me a good,
honest, sensible girl, what there's no

PEARL FISHING OFF CEYL0N.

No sum of money, however large, no
temptation held out sufficiently strong,
would induce the divers to descend into the
ocean unless two shark charmers were
present, who, as they believe, by means Of
their charms and potent spells, can prevent
the fnny monsters Of the deep from injur-
ing the pearl seekers One of these inn
posters goes out in the pilots boat, and re-
mains at the head of it, muttering pre-
scribed form of incarnation as each man
descends to brave the perils of the vasty
deep. The other shark charmer remains
on shore, where he is shut up in room in
a state Of nudity till. the boat returns with
the divers. A large brazen bowl is left
with him, filled with water, in which are
placed two silver fshes and it is affirmed
that the moment a shark appears in the
vicinity of the divers, these fishes agitate
the water, and if an accidept is about to
happen one fish will bite the other. When
he perceives such indications, the charmer
Immediately "blindS the shark" with po-
tent spell, and thus compels the creature
TO abstain from injuring the divers. These
shark charmers reap an abundant harvest
during the fishery, as the natives believe
that unless they are Gberally remunerated
they will exert their powerful spells to
make the sharks injure them, instead of
compelling the monsters to remain quiet
until the pearl fishery is over. 1t is rather
singular that, although sharks are fre-
quently seen by the disers, an accident
rarely happens, and numberless fisheries
have taken place without single accident
occurring.

WIFE CONSIGNED TO HER
FATHERS CUSTODY.

An interesting decision relating to the
right of husband to the custody of his
wife was recently delivered by Judge Rice
at a late term of the Gwmnett County
(Georgia) Court. The wife was minor,
being only 16 years Of age, and on this
ground her father detained her at home.
The husband sued out writ of habeas cor
pus, and on the return day of the same the
Judge held: ''That, Notwithstanding the
license was irregularly issued, and the
father had not given his consent, she being
16 years of age, the marriage was valid
and binding, and the parties occupied the
relationship of husband and wife, but that
under the law which gives the parent the
custody and right to the services of his
child until majority, unless he voluntarily
looses it, the defendant had the right to
her services until she was 81, and there
fore was entitled to her custody" An
order was therefore passed dismssing the
writ, and remanding the wife to the pos
session of her father. .-SacaAnah NeWa.
