Ii Married Him.

A rich widow, lacking only two years
of half a century and dressing her hair
six times a day, in Elizabethtown, KY,
fell in love with a youth of nineteen
who had been. working on her farm.
Her two step-sons ordered him to leave
the town, and threatened to use a
shotgun if he should attempt to return.
The widow took the lad to town, pur-
chased for him a new suit of clothes,
and charged him to get a license. The
young man did as he was told, and
when they were married she carried
him home, and asked her two step-sons
what they meant to do about it.

ITHAs been generally supposed that
Presidant Diaz, of Mexico, was a usurp-
er and all that sort of thing, and as a
consequence detested by the people of
Mexico. But the latest news from
that volcanic republic is to the effect
that Diaz will be reelected, despite the
constitutional prohibition of a second
term. And this leads the LEADER to
remark that a constitution in Mexico
don't amount TO anything, If the peo-
pie will trample it down thus. No gov
eminent is stable with such a disregard
for the bulwarks of freedom and safety.

The inconvenience and injustice Of
the property-qualifcation for voters is
exemph1ed in recent developments in
Rhode Island. Foreign-born citizens
in that state are required to own a
freehold worth s130 before they can
vote. One gentleman, now II resident
of Rhode Island, who commanded n
union regiment during the rebellion, it
is stated, has never been able to secure
the requisite land, while his negro ser
want has no trouble in voting. The
state is small, which makes it difficult
ecure freeholds, and there is evidence
that it is practically controlled by a few
wealthy families. -[Chicago Journal.

Jupiter has lost its belt, as 1t were.
That is to say, the great central belt of
the planet seems to be broken up into
white cloud-masses, and the outer belts
are encroaching on the equatorial re-
gions. A great spot, as big as this
world of ours, is conspicuous on the
planets disc, and the astronomers are
enthusiastically t%heorizing as to causes.
The general impression seems to be
that the thermometer registers a high

THEY SHOULD DECIDE THE QUESTION OF su-
PERIoRITY OVER SOME AMERICAN STILL
WATER COURSE
NEWARK, N. j.. August 8. 1879.
To THE EDITOR OF HERALD:-
What pity it is that Courtney and Hanlan. the
two greatest oarsmen this world has ever produced,
cannot be brought together without SO much "red
tape" business. OF course, all know that these
professional races are supposed to be rcmunerative
to the contestants well TO decide who is the best
man. but cannot they sacrifice something for the ad-
vancemcnt Of aquatic sports? 1t would be difficult
to decide at present who is the best man, Courtney
or Hanlan. but that is just what want to find
out. The at Lachinc considering the difficulties
under which Courtney rowed. showed him not only
to be wonderful oarsman but that he gave Hanlan
tho hardest race he rowed III his life, conso-
quently no man knows better than Hanlan what his
chances would be in u race with Courtney. OF
course we cannot blame him for not wanting to rush
hastily into this business and throw away his well
earned laurels, both in England and America, but
surely he Is not afraid of him. IL not why don't he
come forward as Courtney has DONE express himself
willing to row for the championship and the largest
purse that Is offered neutral still water
course. instead of sticking out for the unheard OF
sum OF $4,000? Courtney has visited Canada and
rowed him on his own water. Now, let Hanlan
turn the compliment aud let him remember that
should he prove the victor at Saratoga, Chauauqua
Lake OF the many still water courses in this
vicinity his glory will be all the greater and he will
then be the updoubtcd champion OF the world.
Should this be brought about 1t would not only
prove boon to aquatic circles but object OF
tercst to tho world IN general. AQUATIC.
