Wouldn't Marry in America.

She was pretty and willful, and
when she vowed that she wouldn't un-
der any n-sid-eration be married in
"this awfully mean America" the
young man in the case gave up in
despair. The young woman, Miss
Mary Platt. had been visiting sis
ter in Los Angeles, CAL, and had
agreed to marry a San Francisco
lover, Mr.. w. P. Walker, if he would
follow her back to her home in Surry
England. Miss Platt was prejudiced
violently against the States. Whence
arose the prejudice no one could say.
Some said this and others that, but
when a blunt "why2" would be
thrown at Miss PIatt herself, she in
variably tossed her head, stamped
her foot, and reasoned pointedly as
follows:
because that's why" Anyhow
Mr.. Walker was in fix. He had
used his tongue in behalf of America
until it would no longer wag, and
though the future Mrs. Walker had
yielded SO far as TO admit that if she
must live permanently in San Fran
cisco, she must, she wouldn't agree
to a marriage in America. Things
remained in this unpleasant attitude
until Friday two weeks ago, when a
happy thought struck Walker. He
summoned the wedding guests and
induced the bride and her maids to
board steamer. Sounding the
whistle he steered boldly toward the
heart of the Pacific. When Captain
Randall announced that the steamer
was three leagues from the Califor-
MIA coast the cabin table was moved
to the upper deck, and a clergyman
took his seat at the head. The party
gathered around, and Miss Platt was
made Mrs. Walker. The sea was so
rough that the bride elutched the
edge of the table during the cere-
mony. Under the April sun the
steamer turned prov toward the
Golden Gate. Pent-up emotions soon
made it necessary for the gentlemen
of the party to support the dropping
forms of several of the ladies, the
bride included, and there was sue
cession of affecting scenes until
smooth water had been reached. 1t
was romantic to say the least

JoK1se WITH AN ENan1sH supA1rERN.-

JOKING WITH AN ENGLISH SUBALTERN.-
As soon as a subaltern joins his regi-
ment he is submitted to course of prac
tical jokes, i'll treatment and bullying all
around, to which he must offer no re-
sistance, or his career will be a short
one. For instance, few years ago q
man named Royd joined his regiment,
and on the first evening among his new
comrades was drawn; that is to say, he
was visited in his room during the small
hours of the morning, and ordered to go
down into the ante-room for court
martial, the charge against him being
that he had risen from the dinner-table
while an officer senior to him had re-
manned sitting. Royd being of huge
stature and gigantic strength, stoutly
resisted, and eventually picked up the
largest man in the room. carried him out
to the landing, and dropped him over
the baluster on to the tagged passage
below. The effect was magical. In an
instant all the hubbub was hushed, and
the injured man was raised. Fortunately
the result was nothing worse than a
sprained ankle and a severely bruised
hip. He took it very quietly, and
merely looked up at Royd, who was
standing near, and said coolly, "Ill
have you out for this" Very possibly
this new conner did not think much of
the threat, but his career was virtually
over; at every hour of the day and night
did he have cause to repent that hasty
action, and during the autumn maneu-
vers of that year the climax came. It
was in this wise: On pouring wet day,
or rather, night, he had to visit the pick
cts, and as, for some reason, he had no
horse, was compelled to do the rounds
on foot. On coming in after tramp of
some miles. thoroughly soaked and tired
out. he was ordered to visit yet another
outlying picket, six or seven miles away.
Then was his tormenter's opportunity; p;
he would not permit him to take troop
horse, though he himself was riding.
Tired, cold and wet, this young sub
altern reached the picket. Something
went wrong, as did his temper, and he
swore at one of the men. His fate was
sealed. His senior Immediately put him
under arrest, and he was told by the
colonel that he must send in his papers
or undergo trial by court martial. OF
course he left the regiment. London

NECESSARY PART OF EDUcATIoN.-To
learn to work skillfully with the hands
must become part of common educa-
ton. Rich and poor alike should be
taught how to work, for it is quite as
likely that the rich will become poor as
that some of the poor will become rich !;
and that is, and always must be, poor
education which fails to prepare man
to take care of himself and his depend
ents in life. We understand what to do
with criminals. We confine them and
set them to learning trade, especially
the Young criminals. The reform schools
never leave out the elements of manual
industry. Why is it not just as legiti-
mate to teach the virtuous how to take
care of themselves without crime, as it is
the vicious. III. g. Holland.

TIE LAST DAYS OF Young TATRo.-
Edward Tatro, who murdered Mrs Charles
Butler at Hjghgate, Friday, June 2, 1876,
will be executed next Friday afternoon, ir
the hall of the new prison, where Yer
mont's last three murderers have met theil
doom. Tatro is the youngest, save one
(IIenry Wclcome), of all the criminals
who have expiated their crimes of murder
on the gallows in Vermont. He was
hardly twenty years old when he commit
ted the crime. Rev. W. NJ Mick is un,
ceasing in his attention, and says the
wretched boy appears to be thoroughly
repentant. Mrs. ratro, who has lived in
Windsor since the incarceration of her son,
has visited him regularly once in two
weeks, furnishing Il mothers consolation
and sympathy. She says: Edward told
me that he was ready to 90 and you can
not tell what II burden was lifted from my
mind when he calmly uttered those words.
MI. Ballard (ratro's lawyer inlormes me
hat he has done AL that can be done for
lere in his helalf.
Tatro has made several Statements, none
of which will be given out till Friday
afternoon. These statements differ some
what from each other and the last one
differs also from one made to his counsel.
ratro is exceedingly pale and thin, and
weighs only about one hundred pounds.
His mental condition is quite feverish.
AS near Us can be learned, coudictinu
statements make by Tatro since his arrest
at llighgate in June, 1876, involve these
points. First, he confessed the fact of the
murder, but claimed to be not responsible,
being under the influence of liquor; sec
ond, he killed Mrs. Butler, to avoid
the same disaster to himsclfin selfdefence:
third, the death of Mrs. Butler was the
out-growth of an agreement between
himself and Mr.. Butler, whereby the
former was to have certain undue privi-
leges with the latter's wife, to enable the
husband to obtain grounds for divorce.
This last point is the most improbable of
all, and belief is strongly entertained
that he will make Il last confession, giving
the truth us near rs he is able, but the
stories he has already given will make the
public doubt very much his sincerity, even
ii DO tells the truth. S. W. Simpson.
sheriff of Windsor county, who has sue
cessfully performed the ceremonies for the
execution of the last six murdercrs, will
take charge Friday next.

The HUNTINGTON BEQUESr TO THE
STATE OF VERMONT Our readers will
remember that Araunah HUNTINGTON, of
Brantford, Z. @, belu3tthed ut his death
Two years ago, his estate valued at Two
hundred thousand dollars. with the excep.
lion of IL moderate legacy to his wife, to
MS native state of Vermont, for the benefit
of the schools OF our state. The lepisla-
ture at its last session by joint resolution
accepted the beluest. But suit, instituted
by one OF tue heirs-at-law, to break the
will has been in progress in the Canadian
courts. This was heard ut Toronto in
January last, and was ably argued on both
sides. The court, in decision rendered
I few days since. sustains the will as re-
CARDS the personal property, which con
stitutes four-tiflhs of the estate, while the
devise is pronounced void us to the real
estate, under the laws of the dominion.
We find the decision in Brantforl paper.
1t is us follows:
ParkhurSt V. Roy.-The late Anrunah
Huntington, IL native of Vermont, but
antecedeatly to his death, Il resident of
Brantford, in this province, by his will
bequeathed u specific legacy to his wife,
and all the rest, residue, and remainder of
his estate, personal and real, on trust, to
sell and convert it into cash, and after
paying his funeral and testamentary eX-
perses, to deliver the residue to the gov
eminent and legislature of Vermont, to be
used BY them rs they should deem best
having regard to certain recommendations
in his will. These recommendations
showed the object of the testator's bequest
to be for the benefit of the public schools
of his native state. One of the heirs at
law and next of kin filed Il bill on behalf
OF himself and tho other heirs and next of
kin to have this devise SET aside us void,
under ethe statute of Montmain, and on
the grounds that the trusts and conditions
of the devise cannot be carried out in the
state of Vermont, and cannot be enforced
by this court; that the trusts are void and
creating perpetu,ty; that they are illegal
according to the laws of Vermont, aud
therefore null and void; that the courts of
Vermont have no power to compel the
government and legislature of the state to
carry-into effect the trusts for the benefit
of the schools, and are illegal by the laws
of the states of Michigan and New York,
and are void MS to the securities and money
situate in those states.
Held, that the devise is void as TO the
realty and valid as to the personally, as
there has been an acceptance by the state,
and determination to perform the duties
of the trust with fidelity and zeal.
The value of the estate is estimated at
S2OO0 some $4,000 of which consists
of real estate and the remainder of cash
and American stocks which under the
decision will become the property of the
state.

delegates whom the Journal estimates
there are twenty or twenty-five. 1t says:
The argument for independent action by
these delegates is conclusive and unan-
swerable. The state convention as a state
convention had nothing to do with their
selection, and had no more right 10 tell
them how to vote at Chicago than it had
to tell them what route to travel to get
there
The Hartford COurant, commenting on
the rumor that Mr.. Edmunds was about
to make public declaration that he was
not a candidate, says apuy; Nobody
supposed that Mr.. Edmunds would not for
his own comfort prefer to stay where he
is. Nobody has accused him of the pres
idential mania. Before he says word,
we haven't doubt that he does not wish
his name used in this connection. That,
we confess again, is one of the attractions
to us, as it is to Il vast number of voters
in this state, of his name. The question
is not now whether Edmunds wants to be
u candidate, but whether the people want
him. The two are quite distinct. But we
have no doubt, no one has any doubt, that
Mr.. Edmunds would accept the duty I'M
posed upon him if the Chicago convention
should decide, on review of the whole
field. that he ought TO be the standard
bearer"
