MARRYING BY TELEGRAPH.
Some Awkward Questions Raised by
Wisconsin Lawyer.

Relative to the event reported in the
Wisconsin of last evening under the cap
ton Of "Wircd Into Matrimony," law
yer correspondent of the Wisconsin Le-
gal News writes as follows:
In the daily press appears an account Of
an alleged marriage which is supposed TO
have taken place Thursday evening One
Of the contracting parties and the ofiicia'
ting clergyman were stationed in tele'
graph Office in Milwaukee, Wis, and the
other party to this "hasty marriage" was
seated in Telegraph Office in Owatonna
Mimi. The bride and groom were very
distant from each other; this is patent
as the responses were communicated by
telegraph. Now, before it is too late, VII

known to any of them, that they arc no

1. Section 1881 of the revised statutes
provides that an ordained minister's au
thority TO marry extends only throughout
the State. Consequently, as the groon
was in Minnesota only the bride is really
married.
2. Section 1885 provides that the dec
iarations of both the parties shall be made
in the presence of the minister. Even b.
the aid of the telephone it would onl.
have been in his hearing
z. The same section provides tina
there shall be at least two witnesses pres

ceremony. The Hon. George W. Peel
and Dr. Kaine were on hand, ostensibl.
as witnesses, but the most they could d
was to kiss the bride. How could the
sign the certificate of marriage as vii

clergyman and bride, unless they under

Several journals have noted the fact
that the son Of Abraham Lincoln and the
son of Stephen A, Douglas are now both
in Chicago, practicing law, and it has been
suggested that Illinois may at an early
day witness another great struggle in
which the names of Lincoln and Douglas
will be most conspicuous, as was the case
in 1859 and again in 1860.
Those who have predicted such battle
evidently have little knowledge of the
two Young men who now represent the
two greatest names known in the contests
Of Illinois. There will be no political
battle between young Lincoln and young
DOUGLAS for several reasons. In the first
place, they are both republicans, and
therefore, not political antagonists II
the second place, young Douglas has been
too much of a politician and young Lin
coin too little of politician to make it at
all probable that either will approach the
fame of his father as apoltical leader.
Lincoln has much Of his fathers ability
without his love for politics, and he has
studiedly refraincd from all prominence
in political movements, and declined all
proffers of political advancement. Doug,
las has his fathers taste for partisan bat,
ties, but lacks both his aggressive ability
and his devoted friends. Lincoln could
rally the mass Of those who revere his IA
theirs memory, but he wisely applies him
self to his profession and rejects all ideas
of political distinction. 1t is quite i'm
probable. therefore, that the future polit
cal disputes of illinois will make the
names of Lincoln and Douglas famous

A family living on Burnett street, some
eight days ago, sent an old cat and four
kittens away from their house by a
farmer, who promised to take them so far
away that they would not get back. The
farmer lives near Washington, South
River, and about five miles from this city.
On Friday afternoon the old cat was
found in the garden with two of the kit
tens. 1t had found its way back to the
city, apparently by no other method
than by its natural instinct.

Judge Bradford, OF Pueblo, some time
ago was trying case before Judge
whom he took dislike to. In the course
of his remarks, in referring to the Court,
he said, he reminded him "of an ass try.
ing to MUNICH hay" The court called
the attorney to order and fined him S.
for contempt, but remarked at the same
time he would remit the fine provided the
attorney would apologize. Branford
went through his pockets, and finding but
half the amount required, said, "Ahem! :!
ahem! I'll take down the hay, but will
copper the ass. Here is; $2.5o, Judge"

A bright little fellow of four, the son OF
former pastor of fourishing church,
who attends the infant class in Sunday
school, received last Sunday morning a
card on which were the words, "Pray

planned the text, he said, ~ guess won't
show this to the minister; he prays long
enough now."

THE press of the northwest is discuss
fng railroad project that has for its aim
the opening up of route from St. Paul
and Minneapolis to the East, via the
Straits of Mackinaw and the Sauit Saint
Marie, completely fanking Chicago and
leaving that village out in the cold. The
distance from St. Paul to the Sault ST.
Marie is figured at some four hundred
and fifty miles only, and at this point
the strait between Lakes Superior and
Huron is such as to be susceptible OF
bridging, whence a railroad line to Mon,
treal would be no more than five hun
dred and fifty miles further, of which
ope-third the distance is now in opera
zion. This road would be direct trunk
to the English Province of Manitoba, and
afford a channel for placing the vast
wheat product of Minnesota and Dakota
by the shortest possible route upon the
ocean steamer at Montreal. Northern
Michigan and Wisconsin would also SEND
a great deal of business this way to t {
serious loss of Chicago. This scheme
seems to have received its momentum
from the alleged grinding monopoly o1
the Chicago & st. Paul and the Chicago
g. Northwestern Railroads, that, like
many another corporation, need appar
emily the opening up of rival line tt
render them more accommodating to thu
public. Whether this will be carried t.
a successful termination at this time i
not clear, but that the great Northwes
and Northern Michigan and Wisconsin
will have ultimately an independent lin
xo the seaboard is inevitable.

A PROTEST is made at Chicago against
the wooden pavements and some of the
street railroads are discussing the question
of returning to the bowlder or cobble
stone for the space between the track. A
serious effort seems to be making to sub
stitute Macadamizing for the wooden OF
Nicholson paving that is said to be per-
ishable and too absorbent of moisture to
be wholesome or cleanly. On the whole
Chicago seems to be drifting into the
Bame muddle of nearly every American
city as to material for stout paving that
is clean, durable and wholesome. As We
have heretofore remarked, the man who
will invent or discover perfect materia
and method for paving the streets o.
cities will be public benefactor. Where
is the genius who is to solve the riddle?

The Black Hills "Pioneer" says: The
largest specimens of nugget gold ever
found in the Black Hills were got in Po-
tato Gulch. Upwards of $4,000 have
been exhumed from the gravel of that mar
row ~ravine. one nugget of which brought
S12s. Nearly all of the gold was exceed
ingly coarse, varying in size from that OF
a hazle-nut to that Of an egg. Many Jumps
were found imbedded in quartz, thus show
ing that it had been washed ont Of a de-
composed quartz vein not far from where
it was found. A gentleman who came over
a few days ago informed us that what is
believed to be the mother vein has been
found. A Scotcbman by the name OF
Frue, known throughout the Hills as
''Scottie," is the lucky man. He had run
a tunnel into the hill at the head OF Gum
DO Gulch, a tributary of Potato Gulch, a
distance of 35 feet, and struck the vein at
right angles with its trend. Nine feet OF
ore has been disclosed and only one wall
rock reached. The ore is of a lively, red
dish color, mixed with white quartz,
through which permeate great stringers OF
gold. Some pieces found in the quartz
are as large as a robins egg. The rich
ness Of the vein can hardly be approxi-
mated, but the boys say that it will mill
right through $500 or 5000 per ton. or
course, this discovery has created consid-
cradle local excitement, and the adjoining
mountains are alive with adventurous
men, red hot on the trail for Scottie's kind
of rock,
