Queer Weddings.
New York Times.

Very recent volumes of court reports bring new and curious illustrations of the want of some uniform rule through out the States as to>what shall be valid marriage ceremony. In Worcester, Mass, couple assumed to marry them- selves after the fashion of Friends" The ceremony occurred at the close of a public religious meeting. The preacher came down from the pulpit and took his stand in front of the pews. The lady came forward from her seat and stood by his side. They joined hands and de- clared that they took each other for wife and for husband, respectively. The bridegroom then offered prayer. Both intended lawful wedding. Much less than this has been, in New York, de- clared a perfect marriage. But when this couple were prosecuted for living together without having been married, the Supreme Court said that, though they might be excused for the past in view of their ignorance and good intention, yet they were mistaken in supposing that their ceremony had any validity. There is a special exception in case of persons conscientiously belonging to the Society of Friends; but all other persons must in Massachusetts, be married by min ister or 8 magistrate,
The Russellville Democrat., 1880-11-25
Proper Names.
The Globe.

How to pronounce proper name IS often matter of difficulty. It might he presumed that the way man pro- nounces his own name or the people of a place pronounce the name of their town ought to be our guide. But there is, in the first place, the difficulty of ascer- taining what that is. It is not every. body who knows that the name of Lord Cowper is pronounced Cooper, that Marjoribanks is Marchbanks, that Cholmondeley is Chumly, that Belvoir castle is Beevor, that Bicester is Blister. Everybody, however, acquainted with the local or personal usage would con form with it. With ancient or foreign names the case is different. A discus sion is now progressing in contempor- arya as to how Indian names, for instance. should be spelled. One party is in favor of retaining the form which has obtained European currency. Another advocates transliteration or conversion of the na- tive symbols into English equivalents, and would spell Lucknow "Lakhnao;" Cawnpore, ''Kanhpur;" Poonah, 'Puna." And what is now taking place with re- spect to Indian proper names has long since occurred in the case of classical and early English. MT. E. A. Freeman and his pathological friends would call Ed ward the Coniessor Backward" just as a Greek purest would speak of Hercules as "Heracles," and Plato as "Paton." The question to be decided is this: Ought we to be governed by usage or by the decisions of abstract scholarship? The French do not wait to discuss the sub- ject. They pronounce every name as they would do if it were French. Thus. with them, Titus Livius, whom we name "Livy," becomes "Tite-Live;" and Goethe, even in an official document issued by the French academy, appears as "M. Cote" We suppose no hard-and- fast hne can be laid down on the sub ject. Caprice has had much to do in the pronunciation of proper names. An educated Englishman would, for exam
 pie, pronounce Rouen or Versailles as much as possible as Frenchman would; but he would consider himself pedantic were he to pronounce Paris in the same way. The truth is, certain forms have crystallized and been consecrated by history, and, whatever may be the case with new words seeking admission to the language, it would be as well that these forms should be retained.
