NoRTHFIELD.-rhe lectures given here last
week by Dr. J. W. Pardo of New York were not
well attended as they should have been. In
view OF the intrinsic Importance of more gen.
eral understanding than now prevails OF the
subject treated OF by the DOCTOR together with the
low price Of admission every seat In Good Temp
lars hall should have been filled 1t is by no means
to the credit OF our community that II seems 50
much more willing TO patronize exhibitions OF a
somewhat doubtful character, and class of COM
edy that has nothing educating or ennobling about
it, than II Is to sustain those who offer To instruct
In matters about which all should know and un-
der-tand. The Temperance lecture given by De,
Pardo at the universalist church, Sunday even
ing the best OF its kind, II was ever our priv
ilege To listen to, The empty seats at the church
should have been filled by the professedy earnest
temperance people; or better still, by the drunk.

EIGHTYsIX years ago one Don Joseph
Vaillerre, Spanish captain, was stationed
with regiment of soldiers, in what was
then known as the province OF Louisiana,
In acknowledgment Of his deeds OF valor
Don Francesca, bearon de Carondalet gov
enor- general of the province, made the
captain a grant of ,,2,G; 800 acres Of land,
lying on the White river and now en-
braced within the limits OF the States OF
Missouri and Arkansas, covering the whole
area of about nine counties in each State.
Subsequently, as is known, the province OF
Louisiana was sold by France to the United
States, and, through the success of sharp
practice the title papers to the immense
grant, never came into our possession. The
heirs OF Don Joseph Vallcrrc sued for the
recovery of the grant or its equivalent, and
il was only few weeks ago that the Su-
preme Court put quietus upon the claim
The land involved is worth Sl?,OO0,00O or
$lj,000000.

The Chinese question will not be dropped
yet. There is a fierce demand for some ac
ton that shall stay what the Caltornians
call the criminal immigration from China.
Probably one of the first acts Of the present
session will be the adoption Of a resolution
calling upon tie president to negotiate
with China for a modification Of the treaty
so that the contract or coole feature shall
be eliminated from the business Of import
lng the Chinese. Mr. Blaine will make
another speech in favor of this, and in an
swer to the assaults that have been made
upon him tor his former course. He thor
oughly believes that something should be
done to check the demorslizing traffic
which has grown up in connection with the
treaty, or at any rate to prevent violations
OF the treaty on the part Of the Chinese
companies.

THE post office department is providing
for the rapid transportation OF the mails be-
tween the different points on the Mississippi
river, the parties having the contract, pro
pose to build steamboats, adapted for great
speed, and make try-weekly trips between
New Orleans and st. Louis. For this ser
vice the government pays an amount equal
TO twelve or fourteen hundred dollars day,
or an amount quite sufficient to cover the
running expenses of the half dozen boats
that will be engaged in the service. AS the
boats will carry but little freight, they will
carry small crews, and the expenses will be
correspondingly leSsened. The service will
prove a "big thing" for the towns hence to
New Orleans.

The decision OF the New York courts
on the laws Of marriage, make the consum-
nation Of marriage there easy and economi-
cal 1t has been judicially decided, for
instance, that the man and woman who play
the role Of husband and wife, ARE husband
and wife, as fully and chectually as they
would be, had they conformed TO all the
customary forms. Hence il young Popkins
wants to marry, the first thing in order is to
find girl who is willing to be known as
Mrs. Popkins. This done, he takes that
girl around among his friends and intro
duces her as his wife. A like round is
made among her friends, and she in like
manner introduces popkins as her husband
and, thereafter, the law Of New York looks
upon the twain as "bonc Of one bone" or
something OF that sort, that is supposed to
be descriptive Of two in one. From that
time forth the law will compel popkins to
pay that womans store bills, and public
sentiment will demand that he provide her
with "duds and fodder" If it be desirable
that the marriage be made matter Of rec.
ord a Joint certificate by the contracting
| parties, stating that they had"covcd' to one
another for better or for worse, will be-,
and has been held rs sufficient. We
wouldn't advise anybody in Illinois TO

reason that our stupid grand .jurics have an

THE revised statutes of the United States
embldy law that provides that no mem
Der of Congress shall be entitled to pay
while absent from his seat without leave.
Senator Sharon, OF Nevada, filed his seat
less than sixty days during the past four
years, yetthis constituencies Radical, IN
defiance of law, has drawn from the treas
ury, as salary and mileage, over thirty
thousand dollars. Although one OF the
richest men in America, if measured by
dollars aud cents, and one of the poorest in
the senate, when measured intellectually,
yet the shameless fellow has cxacted pay
from the government at the rate Of five
hundred dollars day, for the time he filled
his seat in the United States Senate Upon
at least $4,000 OF the amount he had no
shadow of claim-the law so declared,
and we had a man in the White House

enforce the law. But no one thinks Of in
curing why the law was permitted to stand
as a dead letter, or why the greedy Ncvad-
ain was permitted to plumber the treasury.

party is in power.
