Married or moi Married.

IL isn't often that q young man gets
married and then forgets all about it.
Theyihavc found some such case up
in Sangertics, N. Y, and, as consc:
quence, Saugerties is holding its
breath and awaiting the result.
Young Lester Burton found his name
in newspaper the other day, and
attached to it was that of Miss Anna
Schromakcr. Burton went around to
the office to sec about it and declared
that to the best Of his knowledge and
belief that marriage notice was fictiti-
Gus, and if he had married the young
lady ne didu't know it. just then it
occurred TO somebody that the young
lady herself might know something
about the case. She apparently did,
for she declared most positively that
she was married, and that young Les
ter Bupton was her husband. It was
a sad mix, for one or the other
Of the young people couldn't fail,
to be somewhat disappointed. Then
the minister was looked up. His
name was Scuddcr-The Rev. Mr..
Scudder Of Red Hook. lie hadn't
any record Of the marriage, and hadn't
givch any marriage certificate at the
ting the young lady said the cercmo-
ny was performed, but q few days ago
however, he gave her certificate at
her own request and upon her own
statement that he had married her.
And here the matter rests for the
present. Saugertics has divided into
twotparlies. Half the town supports
the statement Of the girl and the
other half believes that the young
map is right. The case is to be TAX
en- 20 court, and whole lot Of law
ycr9 are going to settle the question.

Cut His Way Thronah.

A student named Davis, from up in
the Cherokee county, graduated this
session at Wake Forest, N. G, Five
years ago he went to that college with
five cents in his pocket---all his mon
ey. They told him he had better go
back but he vowed he would stay
there and-hv on the wind but what
lie would go through. AND stick he
did. lie cut wood about for citizens,
and finally the professors gave him
the contract to cut up their winter
wood. Professor Royal was in the
chapel one morning and heard q ter
riblc racket out side, like q cannon
tonchcd off, and it was Davis who had
finished all of pile Of wood except
some great knotty sticks that lie split
by boring holes and ramming in pow.

A DepIorabie Marriage.

A narrative of the marriage or ;
brother and sister, through ignorance
was published some time ago in The
Hcrdld; another chapter in the sac
event has now been made public. I,
will be remembered that q young wo
man called On Judge Nelson, of the
Brooklyn City Court, and asked him
what course she should take TO have
the marriage between herself and
husband annullcd, as he was her own
brother and she had become his wife
through ignorance. 1t appears that
several years since an Irish girl,
named Connor, came to this country,
and formed the acquaintance of Peter
Peterson, q Swcdc. She consented
TO live with him as his wife. a child
was born in due time and in orlcrst
hide her disgrace, the child, boy,
was given 10 her sister, who was mar
ried TO q bro!h Of Peterson, and
was christcned Peter Peterson. Some
two years after another child was
born to the Connor girl. The father
disappeared soon after and the little
one, Il girl, was called Annc Il. Con-
nor. Peter and Annie regarded each
other as cousins. They grew up to-
gcthcr in this city, attended the same
school and as years advanced became
very much attached TO each other.
When Peter reached mans estate lie
was started in business by his foster
parents and prospcrcd. last summer
Annie's mother paid visit TO the
old country, and upon.her return was
horrilied TO learn that during her ab-
sence Peter and Annie had become
man and wife. She Immediately dis
closed the secret history Of Peters
birth and wrecked the happiness Of
their home. Annie fastened at once
TO Judge Nelson and related the ter
rihle story. Acting under his advice
she consulted with lawyer and insti-
suited proceedings for divorce. The
case was referred to Counsellor L. e..
Dana TO take testimony and report.
Mr.. Dana has handed in his report
favoring separation, and the same,
it is believed, has been confirmed by
Judge Neilson.-N. Y. Herald.

Air Castles.

The Republican National Commit
!eeihas about dicided TO contest some
Of the Southern States as the outlook
in the North is not particularly reas-
snring. At the recent committee
meeting the Southern members were
called upon 10 report the chances of
success in their respective States.
Their replies were Falstatllan in the
extreme. In Alabama the Rcpubli-
cans were declared TO have much bet
ter cnances Of success and much
better organization than the Demo
Gratis. w. Watkins Hicks pledged
Florida's electoral ticket to Garfield,
and promised Congressman besides.
North Carolina was also declared safe
for the Republicans. Sam Lee, when
called on, said that the Republicans
were thoroughly organized in South
Carolina, and with a little help from
the North he could carry the State
by twenty-five thousand majority for
Garfield. Similar promises were
made from all the States. 1t is TO be
presumed that the Northern members
heard these Muchauscnisms with dis
gust. If the Southern members had
agreed amOnn themselves to lie abOut
only one or two States they might
have been believed. But they over
did the business. The Republican,
will find their hands full in the North
and as they failed to carry any South.
crn States fairly in, 1876, even will
the aid of machinery and troops, they
will hardly be foolish enough to waste
time on any of them now. The
South will be Solid, for Hancock.

Waste Labor.

The Winnsboro Ne'os and Herald
says that'one Of the evils with which
the South has always contcndcd, and
which exist even more in the present
time than during the days Of slavery,
is that of waste labor. In the North,
as we'll as in the Old World, the uti-
lization of all the energies of man has
been reduced to science, but in the
South, just as unlimited water power
runs undevelopcd into the ocean, so
muscular force is kept latent through
the combined effects of lazincss and
bad management.

Gains and Losses.

According to present estimates nm
der the census the Southern States
will lose thirteen representatives in
Congress and may possibly gain
lhrcc-two in Texas and one in
Missouri. The Northern States will
probably lose eight members and
gain e'ghteen-thc gains going to
Wisconsin,, Mlhnasota, Iowa, Nebras-
ka, Kansas, Colorado and California.
Eleven Democratic States will prob.
ably lose thirteen representatives,
and two Democratic States gain three
representatives; four Republican
States lose five representatives., and
and seven Republican States gain
eighteen, while three doubtful States
lose. four representatives.

schcol Law needs thorough overhaul'
ing, the day having come when 1t Is
looked upon IS little less than semi
barbarism to keep about ons-hith OF
the population Of the State In
utter ignorance, while q reasonably
fair provision has been made for the
education Of the other four-ffths Of the
people. It Ia reasonably certain that
some bill will be introduced which will
have for It's object the general oduca'
tioA Of all the children Of the State,
without regard to color. This s .
question that will require considerable
thought and II is extremely doubtful II
the right kind Of bill can be matured
and introduced which will receive sum
sisat support to become law At the
coming session.
Though ills desirable that something
shoald bs done - soon a. possible

chill iren in the State, and - 1t 10 not
probable that anything like An equit-
able Law like that in Maryland will be
passed BY the present Legislature, 1t
nigh. be policy perhaps not to force
measures too hard the csning session

whore 1t could be readily taken up
AID passed BY the next Legislature.
An excellent way to accomplish such .
purpose would be for the present Log
islature to appoint 9 commission 10 con-
sist, say Of three practical sducators,
like T. n. Williams Of Sussex, . mem
Der Of the Legislature elect; Professor
James h. Groves, present superinten-

Professor Wiley, Professor Reynolds
or DR.. Grimshaw OF this city, TO pre-
pare mature and present a remodsled
system Of education to the Legislature
Of 1883, for acceptance and adoption.

mendable plan provided the incoming
Legislature is not prepared to come full
ly up to the mark to pass full and
eemplets law embOdying the ideas ue
have thrown out for consideration. II
the present incoming legislature Is ad
vanced enough to take the responsible
ity and give the State such an educa

Congressman Ward OF our neighbor.
ing..city Of Chester, has introduced a
bill into Congress asking that one
hundred thousand dollars be apprOpri-
ated TO erect . monument on the Bran
dywinS battle ground at Chadd's Ford
as . tribute to the memory Of General
Lafayette, the gallant young French
naA who was wounded In that battle.
General LAiay cite was only twenty -One
years Of age when he came to this
country TO help our young nation to
throw of the CALLING yoke Of Great
Britain, and 1t Is the more to his credit
that hs came at his OVID expense, ask
ing nothing from our government for his
services. Surely Il: ID. right and proper
that such . man should bs honored.
As Chadd's Ford Is only ten miles dis
tant from Wilmington the movement
becomes Of local significance to our city
and though the proposed monument be
beyond the borders Of our State, Will
mington will ever feel that 1t in part be
longs to her. There is a little differ
ence Of opinion !snongst our Chester
County nsighbors as to whether the
monument should be erected in ths
80 sludsd field on the exact spot whore
the gallant young General received bis
wound, or in tde prosperous borough of
West Chester soms six miles distant
from the battle field. The Borough
Council has already offered q part OF
the public square for the monument,
but SO far as Wilmingtonians are con.
cerned it need not be surprising II the
battle fsld should receive the pre-
ference. However, we have no potent
voice in the matter OF q choice Of loca-
tion, but we do hope Mr.. Ward may he
successful in getting his appropriation
bill through so that our gratitude for
General LsfAystte smsy be shown,
no matter where the monument may be
erected.
