A memorial signed by 253 members of the British Parliament, said to represent one half of the voters of Great. Britain, was re- gently presented to Premier Gladstone, ask ing that functionary to aid in preparing and passing bill to permit 8 man to marry the sister of his deceased wife. The premier re- piled that such bill would have his sympa- thy and he would give the desired aid as soon as the Irish land bill was finally disposed of
 This is indeed free country. Congress sional Delegate Cannon preached sermon to his Mormon brethren at Salt Lake City re- gently, in which he insisted that if they would enjoy the glories of heaven they must keep 8 good stock of wives on hand and make the harem the leading feature of their establish ment. He said a man without wives might possibly become god and with the gods stand, but the plain duty of every saint was to marry plentifully.
 A police code, manual of the crimi Il law designed expressly for the use of mem bers of the police force, has been published in London. In this book policemen are told that it is their duty, even while stopping a suspected person, to treat him with 'the ut- most civiity," and even to take the trouble to explain to him 'sthat the exercise of this legal right by the police affords the surest protection to all honest citizens" :" It is add ed that this ought to be done, whatever the suspected persons antecedents." /"
 An Illinois woman was unwilling, on mar rying second time, to give up the alimony which she had been receiving from her first husband, from whom she had been divorced. She brought a suit to compel the continuance of payments, but the supreme court decided against her. Treating alimony,'' said Judge Scott, .tas the equivalent of that obligation for support which arises in favor of the wife out of the marriage contract, and which is lost when that contract is annulled by the de- cree, she obtains the same obligation for SUD- port by second marriage. It is unreason- able that she should have the equivalent of an obligation for support by way of alimony from former husband and an obligation from present husband for an adequate SUD- port at the same time.''
 When President Garfield gets well the peo- pie all over the country will want to see him, but the indications are that nowhere will he receive 8 heartier welcome than in the South. The Augusta (Georgial Chronicle wrote brief paragraph inviting him, in case of his recovery, to visit the South. The sug- gestion is eagerly welcomed by the news papers, and it's reception in Augusta is thus pictured by the CAaonsc1e. s'We heard tie wish thus expressed echoed on all sides, from all classes, sexes and conditions. sYes,' was the universal voice of Augusta, that is SO; he should come to us when he gets well, and bring with him that good, loyal, faithful wife. He and she will see for themselves that the South has nothing b ut affection for the President and his family, and that mo- where on this earth is there warmer love for the federal Union We do not see that anything more need be added, except that such a tour through the South would be an ovation such as no President has ever before received, and that nothing the President could do would be half so mighty and effect i've in making him the glory of the whole country.n
 It is fortunate for the people of New York
