MOhammedan Marriage,

A recent essayist says that marriage
among the Mohammedans carries with
it rights of inheritance, and the dover
settled upon the wife may, aud often
does, interfere with the rights OF ordinary
heirs. Dover is held to be the price
promised or paid by the husband for the
possession of the wife's person. If un-
paid, it is debt OF the husbands estate.
1T takes precedence of all claims by in.
heritance, and decends by inheritance to
the wife's heirs. The amount of dover
is entirely arbitrary, and varies according
to the position in life, and the youth,
beauty, and accomplishments of the
bride. It is settled by the relatives of
the contracting parties; but if marriage
has been agreed upon, and the amount
of dover is disputed, the Magistrate has
authority to determine the Just amount.
Divorce Is very easy matter under the
NfOhammedan law, and may be effected
at the mere will of the husband; but
man can not repudiate his wife without
paving her dover; so it sometimes hap
pens that very ardent lover, or one
willing to divest himself of the power of
divorce, will agree to an amount of
dover which it is quite impossible for
him to discharge. From this there is no
escape but payment, or remission on the
part of the wife. A freeman may not
have more than four wives at the same
time; q slave may not have more than

On my first speaking the impulse Of

The fuel question is one of a good
deal of moment not only to our city and
village folks, but also to the farmer We
have taken considerable time in finding
ont which is the most economical variety
of wood to burn for our Minnesota pat
rons. At this time the hard maple is the
fayorite in Minneapolis. The people
wood in preference to any other variety
offered in the market, but it is far from
being the most economical. The reason
the maple is 30 universally used is that
II burns so readily. A cord of good
seasoned white oak will make more heat
than a cord and third of maple. In
any event, it is a great convenience to
know the comparative value Of the diff
fereut kinds Of wood for fuel. Taking
shellbark hickory as the highest stand
ard of forest trees, and calling that 100,
other trees will compare with it for real

Gone By.

The days are gone by in which a spade
might be called spade; now, every
things in name. Clerks do not wish
to be styled clerks, pure and simple, but
to be set forth as with" Messrs. So and
So. Bar-keepers demand to be consid-
cred ''in the vino business" and drivers
of lager-beer wagons to be styled "in the
brewery business" No doubt by the
same token, venders of matches ask to
be enumerated as lumber merchants"
and brick-layers, We are assured, CON
stantly request to be written down as
''masons and builders" Circus riders
and negro minstrels pretty universally
ask to be catalOgued as sin the dramatic
profession. Commercial travellers are
found TO be variously entered as ''im-
pOrtcrs" and 'jobbers. The dashing,
if somewhat diaphanous, disguise where
by dealers in faro banks and blacklegs
generally are prone to describe them
selves as sporting men" is not, we be-
lieve, allowed in the census, although
between it and the foregoing the differ
ence is perhaps only one of a degree.
