THE AMERICAN NAvY.-We are to have some new men-of-war, says the New York Hour, The Naval Advisory Board recommends the immediate con- struction of iron war vessels, the swift est of which should make fifteen knots an hour and the others fourteen and thirteen knots. They are to be strongly armed with breach-loading rife guns. That we have not such vessels is se- rious detriment to our commerce in all parts of the world. American traders are forced to appeal to British Consul in case of difficulty, and literally thou sands of American citizens are forced to seek the protection of the English flag and practically repudiate their own country

The Skirmishers Active.
MIR. o'DONOvAN RossA HINTS AT DISTURB ANCEs OF A sANGUINARY NATURE TO COME.

MT. ODonovan Rossa said to Sue reporter, who asked him what he thought of the arrest of Parnell:
 ''That is 8 trick of the English Gov ernment to hide their real intentions. They know that by arresting Parnell they give great impetus to the Land League movement.
 "How will that help the Govern ment?"
 'They hope by this to concentrate the energies of the Irish on the Land League to the detriment of the skirmish- CTS, who are the only enemies they fear. They do not fear the Land League, and they are willing to endure it as the less- CT evil of the two. I know the English Government very we'll, and I believe that is their plan.''
 "Will it injure the skirmishers ?"
 "No; they prefer to work in secret. The fight will go on. The English fear these determined Irishmen who plan to burn them up. The Land League can- not accomplish it's object without fight ing, and the skirmishers are behind 1t, and will provide for that, whether Par nell likes it or not.''
 ''Is this the prevailing Irish senti- ment?'
 ''Yes; it has always been so. The Irish supported O'Connen because they believed he meant fight in the end."
 ''Did you expect the arrest p
 ''No. But it is strange they should have arrested all the small fry before catching the big ones. But that goes to prove what I said-that the Government wishes the agitation continued.
 Denis O'Donovan Rossa, cousin of the Irish agitator, died on Thursday at Blissville, Long Island. He was born in Ross Carberry, County Cork, Ireland, and was 91 years and 7 months of age. He took part in the Irish revolution of AS, .and was compelled to flee to N. Y. city. He leaves widow over 90 years of age.

Some Lively Bees.

The Kissingen bees may boast of fully as proud a record in the history of war as its waters do in that of hygiene. In 1642, during the Thirty Years War, the town was hard pressed by the Swedes, it's high walls offering but little protec- tion for the small garrison against the bold Scandinavians. A citizen, Peter Hein by name, in moment of immi- nent danger, conceived the bold idea of collecting the numerous bee-hives in town, for the purpose of throwing them among a storming party of the be- siegers. This was done, and the en- ragged bees caused such havoc among the Swedes as to induce them to aban- don the siege.

What Constitutes Marriage,

The second trial of the suit brought by Mary Eliza Hynes and her two chill dren, William R. Hynes and Andrew Hynes, to recover possession of real es- tate in this city which was owned by William R. Hynes, who was killed in London in 1875, was concluded yester- day in the Court of Common Pleas, be- fore Judge J. F. Daly and jury. The defendants were Mrs. McCreery and others, two sisters of Mrs. Hynes, and tenants holding under them. The s1s- ters claimed that their brother was never married to the plaintiff, and that they were entitled to the possession of the property as his lawful heirs. The first trial, also before Judge Daly, which took place about three years ago, re- suited in verdict for the plaintiffs, and the judgment was affmed by the Court of Appeals. The recent trial took place under the provision of a new code, which allows new trial in cases affecting title to real estate, upon payment by the de- feated party of all the costs of the for mer trial. The only issue was whether there was valid marriage between Mrs. Hynes and Wm. R. Hynes.
 In the course of his charge to the jury Judge Daly said:
 According to the law of this State marriage is 8 civil con tract, by which a man and woman take each other to be man and wife. No form or ceremony is required to make the marriage valid, and the consent of the parties may be proved by any witness, and if there were no witness, by themselves or either of them; and if better evidence is not attainable, valid marriage may be in- inferred from actual cohabitation as husband and wife, acknowledgement and recognition of each other to friends and acquaintances and the public as such, and general reputation of bona fde marriage. This is the common law of marriage, and prevails in this State. It always prevailed in England before the passage of late statutes providing for ceremony and registration, and it is pre- snmed by the law of this State to pre-. vail in every country where contrary law is not expressly proven. Thus, in this case it was held to prevail in France because no other regulation was there shown to exist. In the essentials oi contract, marriage is the same all the world over. A man and woman take each other for man and wife. This con. sent is the essence of the contract; without it no ceremonies will make a marriage, and to it no ceremonies can add anything. The difference in the marriage laws of countries is differ ence in the mode of authenticating the contract"
 The jury retired at 5 o'clock, and fif- teen minutes afterward returned with 8 verdict for the plaintiffs. y. S1n.

Morocco.

Morocco ID inclosed by the Mediter-
ranean, Algeria, the desert of Sahara,
and the Atlantic, and is inhabited by a
mongrel population Of about 100000
souls. The agriculturists are mostly
Arabs and ShellOohs, dwelling ON the
rich plains; they are poor cultivators,
and are taxed to death. The wild Ber-
Der tribes. IN chronic state of revolt,
occupy the perilous heights and passes
OF the Atlas chain. The Moors, the
Jews, and the blacks crowd themselves
into the towns and villages. From the
biacks,the bnlk Of the Emperor y army is
recruited. The Moors, descended priu-
cipally from the Moors driven out OF
Spain 10y Ferdinand and Isabella, are
q degenerate race, contaminated by in
termarriages with the Arabs; the Jews
are precisely what they were in Europe
in the Middle Ages-thrifty, crafty,
prosecuted, accomplishing, taking il
out of their Oppressors in the way oil
profits. Neither their lot nor their
nature has been changed by exile. The
notable towns are Morocco, the capital
El-Araish. Tablet, Agadir, Mogador
Fee, and Tangier. They are all ground
into dust under the heel of the Emper-
or. Tangier, the outer preached wal
of Is.amism, is regarded with particu
lar disfavor, her commerce harassed
and her trade strangled by whimsical
restrictions. No man there dares OWL
himself rich; if suspected of secreted
wealth, he is tortured until he reveals
the hiding place; then both his head
and his money are removed. The EN-
peror's idea of taxation is the simplest
p ossible: he takes what he wants
