A SCHEME.

Ever since the telephone came into
popular use, the managers have endeav-
ored to prevent the use of the phones by
non subscribers. If Smith has tele-
phone. and Brown comes rushing in and
wants to use it, Smith gives him the priv
ilege, although he knows it is against the
rules. He probably thinks he has right
to do rs he plrases with an article he
pays for. But the telephone managers
are likely to come out ahead. An inven-
tion has been made which is a device to
photograph the person using the phone
The photograph appears on ribbon
which runs under the eye of the operator.
Il the person using the instrument is not
a subscriber, the fact is at once apparent
and the person in whose Office the tele-
phone is located is charged fixed sum
for allowing his instrument to be used by
one not entitled TO use it. Each ribbon
will hold two hundred and fifty photo
graphs, aud when full will be filed away.
Il is claimed that the telephone service
can be much improved if the Use of the
instrument is restricted to subscribers
only, as is likely to be the case if the
Photographic device is attached But il
must be remembered that in some bust
ness houses ii is necessary that twenty or
more different persons shall use the tele
phone, and the Photographic feature is
likely TO be complicated

WHEN To MARRY.

The question of how young woman
can marry is one to be determined in a
great measure by climate, although in a
medical point of view, whenever female
arrives at the age of puberty she may be
come a mother In the East, where ma
thrifty is sooner attained, it is 10 us an
infantile age Sometimes girls at 8 or 9
years are welded to youths of 10. In
South America girls are frequently moth
ers al 10 and old women at 90 The
civil law enjoined l2 and II as the nupual
age, and though this to some extent has
been incorporated into our codes yet
even climate here enters protest. In
Northern states it is not uncommon to
see girls of sixteen in short dresses, and
marriage is not entertained before eigh-
teen. BY the old law of France the age
is thirty for the son and twenty five fOI
the daughter. The Roman Legislators
had enacted that if her pareD' had moi
obtained husband for his laughter by
the time she was twenty i've, and she
afterward was unfortunate, he should not
on that account have the power of dis
inheriting, in as much as it is held she did
that not for her own account but by her
parents fault The Mosaic code fixed no

thirty as the lowest at which man should
take wife and fifteen as the nuptial

PALMER's PROPHECY.

From the State Register.
While at the Chicago & Alton depot,
yesterday afternoon, awaiting the arrival
OF the train from the north, Gov. Palmer
was pleasantly discoursing on the bright
crop prospects, when an ardent young
republican took occasion to suggest that
1t was"going to be bad year for
democrats "Oh, thunder" responded
the veteran, with an air of most perfect
confidence. the democrats will elect the
next president, and Sammy Tilden will
be the man if he shall say that he can
stand it. He is the biggest man in the
country, and if the nomination had been
bestowed upon him in 1880 he would
have been elected II he concludes that his
physical condition is such as to preclude
his acceptance of the nomination the next
time Joe Mcdonald will be the man If it
is to be Tilden want some place on the
state ticket. it matters not which; / want
to make one hunderd speeches; if it be
Mcdonald want to make seventy-five
speeches" 1t was then suggested that
perhaps Tilden and Mcdonald might
form the ticket Very well" replied the
governor. under tthose circumstances
! would be willing to make one hundred
and seventy five speeches-devote every
day to the work. At this point the train
came laundering up and the conversation

a cnHarpncr1nn OF Law.

Attorney. General Mccartney has given
an opinion as to the powers which the
state veterinarian may exercise under The
pleuro-pneumonia law. The officer holds
that the law passed by the last legislature
extends the powers of the state veterinary
surgeon under the old pleuro- pneumonia
act to the disease of CHAMBERS, which has
broken out In alarming form among the
horses of the state. He says the state
veterinarian has power to quarantine
places where animals have been taken
with or exposed to the infectious diseases,
and he also holds that in cases of CHAMBERS
among horses he can go upon premises,
and upon complying with certain provis-
ions. order the slaughter of all horses
upon the premises which may be exposed
to contagion This power Is conferred
Independent of any proclamation of the
governor. Where the animal has only
been exposed to the contagion the ordel
for slaughter must be backed by one or two
persons whom the state veterinarian hal
! called into consultation, but when thu
disease actually exists in the animal HI
may order it killed upon his individual
authority. The attorney generals opinion
was sought for the reason that DR.. Paaren
the state veterinary surgeon, had me
with opposition in attempting to xii
glandered horses. for the purpose o
stamping out the disease.
