Marriage Laws Of California.

Few are aware of the fact that the
Civil Code Of California, in section - Of
article ,, part 3, provides for the mar
riage Of persons without the accom-
panying pomp and solemnlty of re-
ligious rite or priestly sanction. Those
curious folk who either affect to or do
despise civil and religious forms are
allowed to make simply declaration
ofmarriage, stating the names and resi-
dence of the parties, facts, and time of
marriage, and that the marriage has
not been solemenized The recorders
books mt the new City Hall bear testl-
mony that several lovers Of the curious
have taken advantage of the above pro
vision, and started along the matrl-
monial road without the customary
"senl off" One of these interesting
documents reads somewhat as follows.

the signatures of the three witnesses.

John Smith aged Is years months,

on the 18th Of June, 1877, and that We

Antics of an Ape.

a fiery untamed monkey caused
some excitement on State street at s
o'clock the other morning. The beast
belonged to Il combination saloon, con-
cert hall, and mcnagerie under canvass,
Just south of No. 335 State street, and
run by Johu Long and James +. King
The animal, wich is a large ape, weigh
ing about seventy-tive pounds, and al
legged to be a gorilla, is kept in big
cage with bear cub, n couple of coons,
and some other brutes. The monkey
has been savage ever since the firm has
had him. King had tussle with him
Il couple of weeks back and got his left
ear torn about half off The beast,
however got so soundly chastised for
this by King (who used to tame alli-
gators and other vermin down south
that he has been very shy Of offending
him since. He appeared, however, to
take violent dislike to Henry Martin,
nightwatchman in the tent, who is said
to have annoyed the animal by trying
to subdue him by poking Il stick
through the bars of the cage. Gester-
day morning King was iii the cage
cleaning it OUT when the ape sprang
over him, out of the door, and jumping
on his enemy, Martin, commenced
tearing and biting him. Before the
beast was chased Off Martin was bitten
in about twenty places, on the thigh
and hands principally. He was attend
ed by DR.. Montgomery and taken home
to No. 100 West Washington street.
The ape escaped from the tent. ran

then Knocked over the head with an
