Marriage In Boston.

Apropos of the discussion, which we be-
hsve originated in Canada, about the pro-
priety of the uss of the word "obey'' in the
marriage service, a reporter has recently
sought the opinions and practice of Boston
clergymen on the subject: No. 1 said: 'T
always leave out the word obey unless the
bride or groom requests it'' No said /:
1.-THE obligation is absolutely equivalent up
On both man and wife. l omit the word
obey because it has no binding force in
practice" No. 3: 81 generally use the
words love, honor and cherish, but think
the prevalence of the terrible evil of divorce
may cause return to the use of the word
obey 80 that as far as words and forms can
make it the ceremony should be more bind
ingn No. 4: 81 never use the word obey
and never intend to use it. / can see no
reason why the wife should obey the hus-
band any more than the husband the wife .
No. 5: 81 almost always use the word obey
bat have no especial reason to give for SO

Queer Doings.

Paul Vandervoort, C0mmader-in-chief of
the Grand Army of the Republic, has been
recently removed from clerkship in the
Railway Postal Service. He was employed
by the government to do certain service
for which he was to receive a certain com
pensation. Mr.. Vandervoort's idea seems
to have been that while the contract as to
the compensation was binding upon the gov
eminent, the contract as to the service was
not binding upon him. he admits that during
the last fiscal year he was absent from his
post of duty 265 days, and on those days bis
personal reports" previously signed by
him in blank, were filled out and forwarded
by somebody else. The Post Office Depart
ment having Intellectually demonstrated with
aud admonshed him, he was dismissed from
the service.
he has published in the newspaper owned
and controlled by the First Assistant Post
masterGeneral card to the public in which
he makes some remarkable statements. 1t
seems that he went to Washington and asked
to be reinstatsd, aud he declares, over his sig
nature, thai Judge Gresham, the Postmas-
ter-Geneul, although refusing to restore
bin toiis old position, offered him in sue
cessisn two other offices under the govern
n,eat. He says that Judge Gresham said he
was satisfied that be was honest and truth
f1'y'and. rendered him first the position of
Register of governments svsd Office in Da-
kota. This Mr.. Vandervoort declined Sc
cause all he desired was vindication of his
good character. Then he says that on Sat
urday, Oct. IS, Judge Gresham notified him
that he had been appointed Special Customs
Agent at Port Townsend. Washington Ter
ritory, and that he would revoke the order
removing him from the Office of Chief Clerk
In the Railway Postal Service. In reply
Vandervoort only renewed his request for
reinstatement, and The Postmaster-General
gave him a final refusal.
This dismissed clerk says that he is ready
TO produce witnesses "of unquestioned cred
Utility and The highest official standing'' to
prove the correctness of these statements,
de ought to do it at once, If be can, for they
will hardly be believed until corroborated in
the strongest way. Registers of Land Of
fses are not subject to the Postmaster
General, but to the Secretly of the Interior.
Customs Agents are officers of the Treasury
Department. not of the Post Office Depart
nent 1t is highly improbable that Judge
Gresham has presumed to interfere with
Secretary Teller or Secretary Folger in such
fashion. 1t is quite as improbable that he
would offer person whom he had dismissed
for gross neglect of duty and insabordina-
ton two Other offices, if they were in his
gift. There is another improbable thing
which we may mention,-the soldiers of the
Grand Army will not sympathize with the
public whining of an official discharged from
the public service for good LAS Wander
WORT seems to have been.
