INTERNATIONAL MARRIAGE TREATIES.

Among the resolutions passed by the
association for the reform and codifica-
ton of the law of nations at the confer
ence just held at Liverpool was one for
the appointment of special committee
to urge upon the government of Great
Britain the Importance of negotiating
with foreign countries treaties regulat-
ing the marriage of subjects of different
countries. This step is intended to re-
form an existing evil of serious char
acter. It il general principle that q
marriage valid in one country is valid in
all others. But cases are constantly a,is-
ing in the courts of every nation which
show that this is rule with many i'm
portant exceptions. Cases are not rare
in which a woman married to French
subject in England finds that she is not
lawful wife in France, and children of
parents lawfully married on the contin-
ent have been declared illegitimate by
the English courts. Similar difficulties
and anomalies have been brought to
public notice in our own legal tribunals,
Ill dessl1ue With 1Orelgu marriages. The
mischievous consequences flowing from
this state of things would be avoided by
uniform marriage law and ceremony in
all countries. But this Is impracticable.
The difficulties may, however, be large
~ overcome by such treaty as has been
proposed.

A Mission for the Hornet.

b. -
Whether or not the hornet which
worked it's way up the leg and under the
trousers of deacon in Richmond, Va,
and stung him five times while he was
praying in prayer meeting was or was
not an emissary Of Satan, is one Of those
things which may never be definitely as
certained. The story Of such an event
having happened might not be believed
but for the fact that the leading Bap-
tist paper Of Richmond vouches for it's
truth. The excitement in the meeting
was intense, not only in the mind Of the
suffering deacon, whopromptly changed
bis petition into q howl Of agony, but in
the minds of the brethren, who were
startled to hear the accusto tomed monoto-
my of the deacon's devotional exercise
suddenly transformed into such demon
stratiye elocutionary vigor. It is stated
that the deacon Immediately on being
stung brought his prayer to q conclusion,
probably without even saying amen.
While there are many church prayer
meetings which are in most respects all
that they ought to be, there are others 50

operation on the brethren who take part

Curious Relics in a Maine Museum.

At the custom house and savings bank
"a little wooden building-we find quite
a museum of relics collected by Mr.. D,
W. Sawyer, the bank cashier. Among
them we noticed a pitcher taken from
the British Boxer when captured by the
American Enterprise off 'Pemiquid
Point in 1918; piece of worm eaten
plank found in a Goldfish, and a watch
chain taken from cod on the banks.
There's brick from the house in which
Columbus was born and button made
from the leg-bone of an officer killed on
the Kearsarge in the action with the
Alabama. And here are the shackles
taken from John Browns body when he
was hanged at Harper's Ferry. They
were obtained at the prison by the Rev.
n. Atwood. A brown Jug has this
curious fish story: One of the crew of
the schooner Willie g., at Southport,
accidentally broke the handle from q Jug
and threw it overheard. -Four weeks
afterwards, in that locality, while clean
ing Goldfish just drawn in, the fisher
man exclaimed: "Wal, by gracious
now, if I don't believe that here's the
handle of my Jug" and, sure enough,
the piece found in the Goldfish fitted
completely, and both are here to verify
it. There is also the ancient sword that
Balaam wished for to kill the ass with,
and the label adds: "There's no proof
to the contrary that this is not the
sword. I" A heather idol and the Chris
tian idol are together, the latter repre-
sented by the significant string of gold
coins. Hanging on the wall is the war
suit of Looking Glass, the muscular
chief of the Nez Perces band, feet
high, who was killed at Battle Greek,
Idaho, July IL, 1877. He was killed by
seven rifle balls, and in the robe every
ahot-hole is visible. It was stripped
from the body by Sergt. Charles G. Mat
thews, of Company G., Fourth Maine
Artillery, who saw the chief ride away
with dropping head, and followed him
until he fell from the horse. It is of
undrees deer-skin, ornamented with
beans Of different colors, little bells,
and thongs Of deer-hide. And this was
tenderly wrought by an Indian maiden
for her brave, to finally be placed in
enemy's wigwam, thousands Of miles
away. There are exhibited Zulu asse-
gals, each one memory of the young
prince, but that which made our hearts
thrill was flag, made in Salisbury
prison by Union soldiers from their
shirts, and brought home concealed on
the body of George KennistOn, now
assistant collector of customs at this
port. Fifteen hundred starving Union
men had organized q revolt to escape
from Salisbury through east Tenneesee

Hands AND BRAINS,

We recently called attention, says the
Alta Californian, to the number of Amer
leans who were adopting law as pro-
fession - hopelessly, foolishly and as
rapidly as the would-be naval graduates
are passing their examination at An
napolis. Let the young men of this
state understand that in its present con-
dition it has ten times more lawyers,
doctors, architects, ministers and So
called professional men than it wants,
If young man wants good advice, let
him be assured that unless he has ex-
ceptional talent, unless he is unusually
brilliant and possessed of phenomenal
cleverness, he had far better turn his at
tention to the industries aud trades of
California than the high-toned literary
and scientific walks in life. He can cul.
tivate fruit vines, barley, oats and wheat,
corn, lemons, lines, oranges and ba-
nanas, turnips, carrots, onions, beets,
tobacco, sugar, sorghum, caulifowers
and potatoes, while he will starve while
he is waiting for brief, a house to
build, a ship to command, leg to patch
up or soul to shrive. We are not alone
in our opinion.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat said
recently: In Boston a week ago there
we're admitted to the bar on one day 1l3
new lawyers, all of them graduates of
the law school. These 113 people are
all supposed to be going into practice in
q city where there are already nearly
l,aoo lawyers, cut of whom one-fourth at
least are star wing waitoxo ON p,uvidoncv,
and more than three-fourths of the re-
mainder get very small incomes. Yet
these young fellows-by the by, one of
them is lady-hope to go into the work
-and-win ways that will keep them as
gentlemen! This is a somewhat extreme
illustration of very disagreeable fact.
But even in st. Louis the evil is great.
Every term Of court sees number of
young men examined and licensed, and
every term of the law school adds mum.
ber more. It would be much more to
the benefit of the community if one half
of such as these were sent to the farm or
the workshop, or better still, if their
parents would educate them to some one
or other of the mechanical or chemical
sciences; to understand engineering, or
electricity, or machine building, or the
properties of steam. The young men
would be richer and happier, and the
community would be vastly benefited by
the change.
