The struggle has long been
carried Oh in England, to repeal
the ancient law forbidding a man
to marry his deceased wife's sister.
A bill! had long been pending in
Parliament to abrogate the prchibi
tor, but the Hodse of Lords has in
variably voted it down. Lately,
however, the question came up
once more, and with the assistance
of three princes of the blood royal,
the Prince of Wales being of the
number, a bare majority was secur
ed tor the measure. But, when the
Bill came up on third reading, the
opponents OF the proposed change
caused its defeat. To us, whose
laws contain no such prohibition,
it is difficult to conceive of any
good reason why a man should
not be permitted 10 marry the sis
ter of his deceased wife. But the
pertinacity with which the scheme
to alter the law in this respect has
been fought in Great Britain, is an
evidence Of the rooted conservatism
of the British mind, which is u
great stickler for everything an
cient in their laws and institutions

The Firemen Of Thib0daux are
erecting one Off not-the largest
Hall in rural Louisiana, On their
grounds, fronting St. Bridget street.
between St. Louis and Green
streets. They own the ground and
have raised means to complete the
structure.
They are nevertheless short OF
funds, to finish the building in that
style of architectural beauty, and
finish that such a building merits,
and should have.
This building will be more of a
public structure than II private en-
terprise. 1t is something that will
prove of great utility and conve
nience 10 the people of the entire
Parish, and every citizen should
feel an interest in seeing it compile
ted 10 a style worthy OF the projec
tors and Of the people of Lafourche.
A few hundred dollars would be
of much service to the COMMITTEES
who have the work in charge.
Will not a number of citizens of
the Parish who are able to do so
without Inconvenience, contribute,
or loan, the committee something
to assist them for the present. A
few loans of 5000 or 1880
would be Of great service, and the
same would be returned hereafter.
