ALBANY, May 3l.-The indications
that the naming of Gov. Cornell as
candidate is distasteful to the Conkling
men are multiplying. The latest re-
port tonight is that Gov. Cornell, in
consultation with Roscoe Conkling, was
in effect commanded to write letter
declining to be candidate, with the in
struction that the declaration must be
couched in the most positive terms.
Further reports were to the effect that,
after long consultation and many pro.
tests on the part of Gov. Cornell, he at
last made brief letter, saying suhstan-
italy: 81 must not be named as u can
didate. The nomination compromises
me, where il Injuries my friends. | can
not and will not permit it," Richard
Crowley, who has been an active worker
! in COnkling'S canvass, knew nothing
about such letter. Mr. Arthur b.
johnson said that such letter had
been written, and that its contents,
which were brief, were to the effect
stated. Another gentleman, u very in
innate friend of both the eX-Senators,
said he had overheard a conversation
to the effect described between Governor
Cornell and a senator, in which he had
said he could not and would not sane
tion the use of his name as II candidate;
that he had nothing to do with the talk
about his nomination, and desired that
it should be stopped. This informant
said he understood that the letter de-
clining the nomination had been
written 10 Senator Mccarthy.
The Times'S correspondent walked
Senator Mccarthy from Il sound sleep
at l2O o'clock, and was informed by
him that he received no letter from Gov
ernor Cornell on the subject, nor had he
bad any conversation with him in which
any reference was made TO the Senate
rial contest. Gen John n. Knapp, who
had not heard of the letter, was induced
to believe the report, and said Of the
Governor: cts Just like him"

Matrimonial.

Among English people, disproportion
in age between married couples is not
usually very great. The great major
ity of people marry when, they are
within a few years. of age of one an
other. IF rule were in existence pro-
hibitiHg all marriages between persons
one of whom was old enough TO be the
parent of the other it would not, as it
seems, have prevented more than about
a thousand persons of each sex from
making themselves happy. Drawing
line even at fifteen years, and suppos
ing that a disparity in age OF this
amount were bar to matrimony, it is
found that about two thousand one
hundred and twenty men would have
been disqualified from marrying women
younger than themselves, while one
hundred and one s'middle-aged''
women would have been similarly pre-
vented from bestowing their hands and
hearts upon comparatively Juvenile
cavaliers. Widowers usually reach a
to1erably advanced age before they ven-
ture for the second time into the n.y.
meneal contract, especially if it is with
a widow. From thirtyhve to ffty-fve
is the favorite age for widowers to mar
ry widows, and there are almost the
same number of bridegrooms found
amongst them at each of the years in
cluded in these two decades. Those
of the bereaved husbands who marry
spinsters are, however, much younger
in their generation, and there are near
" four thousand OF them between the
ages of twenty-five and thirty-fve,
against only about eight hundred who
marry widows. ai 7l

Marrying in a Foreign Land,

The question of marrying in a for
eign land is becoming decidedly compli-
Gated. A woman recently sued man
in Nuremburg. Germany, for breach
of promise TO marry her. The case
went On appeal to the supreme court of
judicature, which dismissed it on the
strength of Nuremberg ordinance
published on October 8, 1872. This
municipal ordinance says: Marriage
being public estate, the engagement
for marriage shall take place in the
presence of at least two male relatives.
or two other impartial men, specially
called in as witnesses, who, in case of
need, can testify to the engagement"
The defendant in the cause alluded to
proved that only women were present
at the engagement. and this was
deemed sufficient for dismissing the
case from court. Complications. how
ever, arise no less from the variety of
the marriage laws In this country.
Thus no legal marriage can be conclud-
ed in Rhode Island save before clergy
man domiciled in that State. All per-
sons about to conclude amarriage must
be sure of satisfying the local law on
their part as we'll as the law of the
State or country IN which they desire
to have their marriage considered val
Id at law. In Rhode Island, for in
stance. marriage between blacks and
whites Is Illegal. The law everywhere
protects the Clergyman or civil officer
who joins people in marriage, provided
he has obeyed the law, while the per-
sons marrying assume nearly the whole
responsibility for the legality of their
act. Nor is this wrong in principle,
marriage being essentially contract
between two parties, of which the cler-
gyman or civil officer is little more, in
the eye of the law, than a public and
official witness. The marriage cere-
mony between foreigners, or persons
from different States, or an American
and foreigner or two Americans, may
be legal on the part of the officiating
person, and yet illegal on the part Of
the contracting parties

A Bostonian Mistake,

At late Boston party. the host said
to u guest 81 beg you to entertain
Mr.. Blank little; he looks utterly for
lorn and bored to death. I will intro
duce him, and you must interest him.
BY the way, his strong point is butter,
on which he has written a book" The
lady guest graciously undertook the
task of entertaining the man, inwardly
wondering that he should be so much
interested in butter (of which she knew
yery ittle), when his face indicated q
mind given to much profound thinking.
However, with butter in view, she be-
gan on the weather, gradually got into
the country, then on TO a farm, from
that to COWS and at last to butter. The
man looked more bored than ever, the
magic word producing not the slightest
effect, and he somewhat abruptly left
her and soon Withdrew from the house,
81 did my best.'' she explained to the
hostess: II went through agonies to
prove that / was deeply interested in
butter, but it was all in vain. " ''But-
ter!,' exclaimed the hostess, "what
possessed you to talk to that man of all
men on butter? ! told you he had just
written a book on Buddha,' and /
knew how deeply you too were in the
same subject" And they said in

Capt. Holden, who has recently re-
moved to Cincinnati, from Marietta,

of spiders ever since his college days.
In pursuit of this singular fancy he
has collected nearly $4,000 specimens,
embracing 1000 species, from all parts
of the world. They are arranged in
glass bottles, with labels giving name,
collector, and locality. California fur
nished 5000 specimens, and New Eng
land as many more. One species is
represented by 108 specimens. from all
parts of the United States, showing
how much effect environment has in
modifying form. The collection is
supplemented by q full and complete
catalogue of the literature of the sub
ject, comprising about 10000 refer
ences on 10. 600 cards. This valuable
contribution to the study of this little
known branch of natural history he
hopes to complete and publish at an

Farewell to Billingsgate.

Another good old London monopoly
bids fair to be speedily swept away.
Billingsgate viii soon be thing of the
past. A city of nearly 100000 in-
habitants has hitherto been dependent
upon one market for the distribution
of all its fish. The approaches to the
old market are steep and narrow, and
it has been proved to be physically inn
possible to distribute all the fish used
in London from the one center. Taking
the year round. an average of seventy
five to 100 hundred tons of fish are
weekly destroyed because they cannot
be got rid of fast enough, while people
IN suburban districts cannot obtain the
flshl they require. Fish is often DESTROYED
by dealers to keep the prices up. The
average price Of fish at retail in Lon
don is six times the amount it is actual
Iy sold for on the wharves of fishing
towns. OF course. strong vested in

their monopoly. but, happily for Lon

A Doctors Tnfatuation.

Phnadelphia has negro population
of 10000 to $4,000, living mostly in the
Fifth Ward. In this ward Lombard
street is located. Down Lombard street
was to be seen, the other dav, white
man reeling from the influence of
liquor. He was we'll dressed, and bore
evidences OF good birth. Before a little
brick house he stopped and looked
around. The house needed painting
sadly. The shutters were old and
weather-worn. The woodwork was
dirty; pail of water and scrubbing-
brush in the hands of an able-bodied
wench would have worked wonders.
The man knew his condition., and was
hesitating what to do. But he hesitated
too long. The door opened, and
negro wench called out /: s'Heah. youi
come in heah. right smart now;n and
she flew down the steps, seized the I'M
lucky man by the seat of the panta-
looms and the back of the neck, and. in
a moment, he was flying up the steps
as if an express train had caught hold
of him. A series of kicks propelled the
man along the hallway, and he was
lost to view in ajify. The man is a
doctor. having little practice, however.

her in the course of his rounds as q.

him. He was head over heels in, love
with the negro woman. She isn't q
full -biooded negress, for she is of
lighter color than the average Lombard
street darkey, but she has all the in
stincts of her race. She was pleased
with the attentions of the white man.
He had money, and she had none.
Things got to such q pass at last that
the doctor announced his intention OF
marrying the negro girl, His family
couldn't stand the disgrace. They
broke up and went out West. Once or
twice the Doctor, has visited Them but
he always leaves his wife behind. They

The Mud-Hole At the Arkansas III


svs 80 Springs.
s; The general view on entering the
Hot Springs Valley Is very picturesque.
On either hand the towering 0zarks,
covered with forest trees to their sum-
mitss present dense mass of varied
foliage. On the right hand, east Of the
Hot Springs creek, stream capable of
running dozen mills. stand the prin-
cipal bath-houses-the Rammellsberg,
Ozark, Palace, Independent. Old Hall,
Big Iron and Rector - all connected
with the left bank of the stream by
handsome bridges. On the left hand
stands the town, q long row of houses,
fronted by a broad board walk and the
main street. The walk is covered more
or less with people from the four quar-
ters of the world-white and black,
Italians, Spaniards. Turks and Rus
SLAMS, besides throngs of Americans
and Germans, passing and repassing.
Cripples are so common that they
are scarcely noticed, and the rattle of
crutches and humping of sticks pass
unheeded.
OF the mud hole. which is really the
most powerful bath in the valley, much
has been said. The old ral-hole is COW
cred and its waters lead to the bath
house. The corn-hole still remains u
small affair. But the mud-hole is now
so well kept and regulated that al may
bathe without offense to any one. 1t is
open from a. m. to p. M, and after
5 p. m. is free to all. At 9 p. m. the
waters are drawn off, the place cleaned
and flushed out, and then allowed to
refill. Before p. m. q small fee is
charged for bathing. and between and
II @. m. ladies bathe exclusively.
The manager. Major j. L. Barnes, in
forms me that during the year ending
on the Goth of june last. %, 3S6 free
baths had been given to invalids, be-
sides the thousan dis who pay small
fee for bathing. The name ''mud-hole''
is misleading, as there is little or no
mud there. The bottom Is rock or
gravel, and some four or five springs
bubble up from below. 1t should be
called the miraculous pool, as the most
wonderful cures are constantly effected
by the powerful combination of heat
and minerals it contains. The water is
buoyant and full of life and electricity
The heat is never below 90 degrees
