Can a Man Marry Himself2
From the New York Times.

A queer legal question-Can man
marry himself has come up recent
ly in the Irish courts, and has at
tracted much attention from its nov
city. The facts that gave rise to the
matter are these: Some years ago
Rev. Samuel Beamish. of Cork, being
then in charge of a congregation,
went to the house of mliliner in that
city, and under its root, and in pri-
vate apartment, sought sentimental
interview with a young and comely
apprentice, Isabella Frazer, and then
and there performed the marriage
ceremony between her and himself
No one was present except the couple
in question, and it was thought that
nobody had witnessed the peculiar
wedding; but it was shown that a
servant, Catharine Coffey, had seen
what had occurred through a window
from an adjoining backyard, having
been drawn thither by sheer.curlosity.
Catharine had not heard the words
or observed the forms used on the
occasion-the ceremony was the one
prescribed in the Book of Common
I--ayer-but she had carefully watch
ed-ar a woman would be likely TO
watch such proceeding-all that
was goi2g on. Isabella Frazer some
time after gave birth to son, and
three years late, the clergyman died
intestate. He left considerable prop
erty, and his property, an hs broth
er contended thai, as the marriage
had been Illegal, the child was illeg15
mate, and could not inherit from his
father. 1t would seem that Beamish
had not intended to make Isabella his
wife, but had performed the nuptial
ceremony merely to satisfy her scru-
pies The case occupied the court
for three years; but it has finally
been decided that the marriage was
valid, at least in Ireland. Under the
circumstances, this would certainly
seSm TO be righteous decision.

A CITY EXCHANGE writes: There are
two kinds of Christians-those who
live chiefly by emotion, and those who
live chiefly 10y faith. The first class,
those who live chiefly by emotion,
remind one of ships that move by the
outward impulse OF winds operating
upon the sails. They are often at q
dead calm, often out of their course,
and sometimes driven back. And it
is only when the winds are fair and
powerful that they move onward with
rapidity. The other class, those who
live chiefly by faith, remind one of
the magnificent steamers which cross
the Atlantic, that are moved by in
terror and permanent principle, and
which, setting at defiance all ordina-
ry obstacles, advances steadily and
swiftly to its destination, through
caln and storm, through cloud and
sunshine.

An amusing discussion has arisen
in Michigan. The Democrats and
Greenbackers in the State Legisla-
ture have entered into q combination

Democrats are swallowing the Green
hackers or the Greenbackers the
Democrats.
The Atlanta Constitution estimates
that during the past two seasons the
farmers Of Georgia have paid out
S3,G00,000 for mules. This rather
eclipses Senator Bcrnum's patriotic
exploits as "mule buyer" in point
of amount expended; and yet, the
Senator's "mules," although small in
number, were powerful enough to
kick over the great Reform Demo
cratic party.

The Border Claim Blii, The Riot
Bill, The Revenue Bill, The Indis-
criminate Freight Bill, and the Bill
TO Tax Coal Oil, and The Free Pipe

lature this winter. The following is
the substance Of tie Riot Damage
Bill:
That the Governor is authorized TO

terested persons of this State to as
certain the losses in this State by the
July riots of 1877. They shall have
power to hear all claimants and ex-
anime such documentary or other evi-

nesses and administer oaths or affirm
atoms. All claimants shall make out
and deposit with the said Commits
sioners, within certain number of
days after they all have been qualified
to act, specification of the nature,
kind, quantity and value OF the prop
erty alleged to have been lost. When
the said Commissioners shall have
been duly qualified they shall give at
least ten days public notice in one or
more newspapers of the respective
counties of the time and place when
and where they will proceed to the
discharge OF their duties. Ii, under
any local or special law, any one or
more of the counties in which such
losses have occurred is alleged to be
liable to suits by the owners of prop
erty for its injury, loss or destruction,
and such county shall pay or cause
TO be paid into the State Treasury
twenty-five per centum of the loss or
damage which shall be assessed and
reported as having been caused by
mob and riot in said county, said
amount shall be paid 10 the owners
along with so much of the appropri
alton made by this act as shall be
necessary to pay the damages suffer
ed by such owners, either in full or
pro rata. But if such county shall
fail to pay said twenty-five per cen
fum within a certain time after such
assessment, and a report shall be
made and fled in the office of the
State Treasurer, claimants who have
suffered loss or injury to their prop |
erty ip such county shall receive out
of the appropriation hereby made
but seventy-five per centum of the
amount assessed as their respective
claims. and such county shall be and
