must be left to the lawyers own sense of
prOpriety.
In the debate in Parliament on the dc
ceased wife's sister marriage bill, tho uni
versal testimony produced from the United
States was that the permission of such
marriages here worked no evil. 'Aunts
make tho best stepmothers."
THERE is nothing remarkable in tho
news from South Carolina that two of the
congressman elect from that state will
support Mr.. Randall for speaker. Ho will
have support from nearly every other
Southern state. Georgia, Arkansas
Missouri, Tennessee and others already
make signs Of it. His nomination is a
.fOregOne conclusion.
THE champion liar of the present " silly
season !" seoms to be abroad, and is getting
his work in on the German newspapers
as witness the following translation from
one of them:
A piano firm in Berlin has bought the
Oaken piles which have just been taken
out of the Rhine at Mayepce, and which
are said to be the original timbers of the
bridge which Julius Caesar constructed.
BISHOP WARREN, Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, comes to the rescue of the
colorod Christians of tho South, and lie.
fends them against the charges Of immor
ality which have been SO freely made
against them. He says that wherever the
colored people have been suitably instruct
ed the most delightful results have been
seen, and the assertion that cDlored minis
ters arc leading their flocks astray by low
and sensual lives is not true, as far as it
related to the ministers of the Methodist
church.
THE PRINCE LOVE.
How sweet roamed from field to field
And tasted all the summers pride,
Till the Prince of Love beheld.
who In the sunny beams did glide
lie showed me lilies for my hair,
And bluShing roses for my brow;
lie led me through his gardens fair,
Where all his treasures grow.

And Phebus fired my vocal rage;
lie caught me in his siIken net,
And shut me in his golden cage.
He loves to sit anu hear me sing,
Then. laughing, sports and plays with me.
Then stretches out my golden wing,

So far as the duel between the Virginia
editors arose from the imputation cast
by Elam upon Beirne's courage, because
the latter had once gone upon the field
without caps for his weapon, it may be
considered determined that the man who
went such long journey and surmouuted
SO many obstacles to fight, is not lacking
in bravery. Elan had proved his willing
ness to take the risks of the duel in
previous encounter out of which he came
with a SCARED face. But the issue as to
whether the respective political parties of
these two gentlemen are collectively and
Individually Glars" is no nearer sottle-
ment than it was before.
THE book reviewer of the New York
Tribune very savagely scores Prof McMas
ter, author of the now history of the
people of United States, for his slavish
limitations of Macaalay's style of writing
and prints number Of parallel passages
to show that in many places this similarity
of style approaches bald plagiarism. Tho
critique even goes SO far as to arraign tho
publishers of the book for permitting
these aud other traces of sloveDIy writing
to 60 forth with their imprint. Which
latter phase of tho criticism recalls the old .
quarrel between Whitolaw Reid and the
Appletons, about the advertisement and
review Of the New American cycloprdia
which happens to be edited by Reid's bete
noir, tho erudito Mr.. Dana, of the Sun.
MIST of tho lemons which come to this
country are shipped from Sicily, Calabria,
Messina and ParlermO send out largo cor.
signments. There are four crops each
year. The lemons are cut from tho trees
when green and placed in a magazine
where they are subject to a sweating or
purging process. At the end OF four or
five days the fruit is either stored away
in shallow trays or packed for shipment.
Lemons gathered in November and De-
cember have the best keeping qualities.
The choicest lemons come from Sorrento.
Great care is bestowed upon their cult
vation The fruit is long and smooth and |
has beautiful color. These lemons are |
luxury in Paris where they
arc used not only by cOnfectiOners and |
bakers, but also by decorators.
