LARGE number of married couples living
in Rio do Sui, Brazil. awoke lately to find that
their marriages had been illegal. They were
mostly German Protestants, and in the alb
sence of clerics Of their denomination they
had resorted to civic marriages upon the as
surance OF an officer OF the city that he could
perform the ceremony legally. Meanwhile
there is still an absence Of proper clergymen
to perform the functions. The Catholic clergy
will do nothing for them. nor does the govern
ment in any way intimate that they will re-
iieve their distress. If only some of the
philanthroplc missionary societies would SEND
out parson, here is a chance for him to do
good and pay his way in doing it.
A REMARKABLE automatic torpedo in the
form of a cigar-shaped vessel is being built in
Hartford. 1t is 30 feet long with diameter
in the centre of 30 inches, and combines
very powerful explosive with ample pro-
polling and steering machinery. six engines
develop LOCO revolutions of the screw per
minute. the motive power being carDonlc aclu
gas. Moving three or four feet below the sur
face of the water, and guided by an operator
from the shore or vessel by means OF an cleo
trio wire. 1t is expected that the speed OBJ
tanned, which is at the rate OF mile IN three
or four minutes, will make the almost lnVlsl-
bic craft an effective engine of destruction
against the most powerful ironclad which Is
unprepared for its mysterious approach. The
torpedo, which is of the weIl-known Lay
Haight pattern. is made of copper. 1t IS TO
be offered to foreign government for trial,
with view of securing a contract for mum
Der of similar weapons.

PavYour Election Bets.

The time has come for the settlement of
election bets. A good many, doubtless,
have already settled. The Wall street
men who lost are settling, and Wall street,
in financial matters, leads the country. 1t
is pretty hard, of course, on those who,
in the exuberance of their enthusiasm,
bet their money on Blaine, but 1t would
have been just as hard on those who bet
on Cleveland if the election had gone in
favor of Blaine. The New York Sun,
which did what it could to elect Blaine,
gives cold comfort to those who
were led through its influence to stake
their money on him. 1t says: "But
now there is no question Of Cleveland's
election and the bets must be settled in
accordance with the cold facts, and not
the hot desires OF those who put up their
money. 1t is no longer of any use to
watch bulletin boards or to wait on fiat
tering hopes. The agony is over, and nov
let everybody 90 to work to make up for
the time lost to business and spent in
parading, cheering, and studying the re-
turns"

DANGER OF CLOSE ELECTIONS

What a Prominent Army Officer Says
Troops Held in Readiness to Suppress
Disorder in 1876.
sit has been my constant political
prayer since the election of 1876 that 10
Presidential election should be close"
said an eminent army officer to a Wash
ington Star reporter. "At the time of the
Hayes-Tilden election political war was
imminent, and / was in position to
know how imminent. We expected that
the troops would be called out at any
minute, not in the interest of any one
party, but to preserve order. The troops
were not ordered out, but they were in
readiness, and were held back. Every
man who had command was
be ready to answer the first sum-
mons, Yesterday / was greatly in fear
that the country would be in similar
danger, for the incendiary stand taken
bv some of the leading journals of both
parties bodied no good. To-day, however,
/ feel better. 1t looks as if the election
can be settled beyond question. What a
terrible thing party war would be-" he
continued. 'sThe civil war was bad
enough. when one part of the country was
in arms against the other, but just think
of war that would enter every village
in the land, and even divide families.
This vague talk that l have heard ABOUT
calling out the military to enforce the
claims of a party is preposterous and
ridiculous. Such a course would not be
thought of seriously for an instant. The
military could only be used in maintain
ing peace.r Other army officers and
prominent officials of the War Depart
ment expressed similar opinions.

frauds committed by them are daily being
exposed. In EllicOtt, Chautauqua county,

contest MGyor-elect Grace's eligibility to
take his place as Mayor Of the city on
Jan. 1, on the allegation that he is not a

gagged counsel to manage their case. The
proceedings viii be in the form of a quo
waErento, brought by Mr.. Grant, the de-
feated Kelly candidate, compelling Grace
to prove his title. The basis of the action
is an averment Of Judge DOnohue, to be
supported by affidavit, that Grace came
to him in 1880 and privately admitted that
he was an alien and had committed per-
Jury in the matter of his naturalization;
but this allegation is looked upon by DEM
ocrats outside Of Tammany as so prepOs-
ferrous that they do not believe it will
serve its purpose, though it may be pro
ductiye of sensational effects for a brief
period"
