A NORTH CAROLINA RooRBAcK.-A
colored man, named Aaron Burr, living
near Rocky Run, six miles from New
burn, is giving exhibitions Of a very
peculiar character for the benefit Of a
religious denomination near Deep
Gully. 1t is said that Aaron is in the
possession of a spirit lamp and blow
pipe, with which he nightly entertains
his congregation by holding the left arm
over the lighted lamp, and with the
pipe, blows the flame upon the limb
uutil the blaze burns a cavity through
the flesh, bone and muscle, and then
drawing through the opening a thong
made from deer skin, he attaches it to
rafter and swings himself to and fro,
singing the while a song named, Crock
me to sleep mother" After having
sung the several verses, he detaches
himself, and falling to the floor, turns
a sOmersault, and then passes around
the hat.-[Newburn IN. c. Paper.

District Judgcs-Thc Marriage
Ceremony.
(MarksyiIlc Reyiew.l

We noticed incidentally in a former
issue of the Review that the ST. LANDRY
DEMOCRAT had stated that District
Judges had not under the old constitu
ton and have not under the new, any
authority to perform the marriage cere
mony. The DEMOCRAT, therefore, con-.
cludes that those persons who have
been joined together in wed!ock by
District Judges are in an odd predica
ment. Since our attention has been
given to the subject, we are satisfied
that the DEMOCRAT has made u mis-
take. The mere fact that the two con-
upon District Judges can have no such
authority. The same reasoning will
apply with equal force to Parish
Judges, Magistrates and Ministers Of
the Gospel. The said constitutions do
not invest any of them with said power.
Their authority like that Of the District
Judge is derived from statutory enact
ment. Section 1879 Of Revised Statutes
cODfers this authority upon District
Judges. We will agree with the Demo-
Graf in so far as to say that no statute
can compel District Judges to perform
any acts not strictly judicial, but at the
same time statute can say, without
conflicting with the constitution that
District Judges may perform the
marriage ceremony.
All the authority conferred upon
ministers, magistrates, &c, to perform
the marriage ceremony is derived from
statutory enactments, and, if the Dis
trict Judges have no right to perform
the marriage ceremony, then no one
has, as the source of authority is the
same in both cases.
If we are right and the DEMOCRAT is
wrong, we trust our confrere will for
the peace Of mind and body Of those
who have been united in wedlock by
District Judges, tell them they are tied
not only hard and fast, but also legally.
We cheerfully accept the correction.
