Congressional Fun.

A scene occurred on the floor Of the
house to-day, during discussion on
the Wood-Peters contested election
case, such as is rarely witnessed. 1t
was cranks' day in the house and they
made the most of it. The fun began
with two hours speech from Mr..
Wood, the contestant. He read his
speech in the central aisle, displaying
portly figure of man about 80 wears
of age in bob-tailed coat and with a
country grocery air 1t was the great
est effort in his life
But this was the'bluest Of skim milk
by comparison with that which follow.
ed. Judge Bennett, of North Carroll.
ma, had made minority report in IA
vor of Wood, the rest of the committee
on elections being unanimously on the
other side. On his report Judge Ben
net m de a speech nearly two hours in
length, in which he discussed constitu-
tional law in the most forid style and
pompous manner. He is large man
with a towering bald head, the hair
having apparently all slipped down on
his chin, and has voice like bull.
He ragged and reared with ponderous
fury, and was constantly guyed by the
whole house numerically. Every
time he misquoted the law the law
yers laughed, and every time he slaugh-
tered Latin groan went up from the
scholars, which set the whole house in
q roar This amused the house so i'm
mensely that one member after another
got up and gave Bennett additional
time, until they wore him out. He then
conyulsed the house by asking permits
sion to rest awhile, filling in with Mr..
Pettibone. This was granted, where
upon Pettbone amused the house still
more, his harangue being more fitted
for field service than for the house of
representatives..
When Bennett had again run down
the house took vote, which was prac-
tically unanimous against him. In the
vote to give Wood the seat, only Ben
nett and Calamity Weller stood up
against the whole house, which result
was hailed with shouts of laughter

A TwO-Fold Marriage Law,

What Is the condition of thinoa TO-
day in America and in Massachusetts
what is the condition of tho law and
public sentiment on this great subject?
There is to any one who studies care
fully most curious and most illogical
confusion in regard to the whole mat
ter both OF marriage and divorce, and
that confusion arises from this curious
fact: Both the laws and public senti-
ment OF England and America to-day
are the result Of two truly contradic-
tory ideals. Our common law for ex-
ample, is based on the old Roman law
which has come down to us through
England, and which we have borrowed
from the parent country. Under the
old Roman law, marriage was simply
a civil contract entered into voluntarily
by man and woman, and recogniz-
ed and protected by the State; but it
could be dissolved at any time by the
mutual consent Of the parties entering
into this contract, precisely the same
as any business contract which Won
choose to enter upon-any business CO.
partnership which lasts as long as YOU
please, and is dissolved by mutual con-
sent and agreement. Divorce under
this Roman law was not as common as
you may think. Parties were held to-
gether by ties which made them wish
to continue them themselves; but there
was also public sentiment in the old
er and purer days, and it was carried
so far that the husband was severely
punished at law on account of abusing
his privileges. Here is one part of our
sentiment-the legal condition of the
subject of marriage and divorce. The
other is canon law-the law of the
church, which forbids divorce in any
case whatever. This law has been
dominant throughout Europe and in
every country where the church has ex-
tended its sway, and until the present
century the canon law was supreme in
England, and there was no possibility
of divorce except by special act of Par
lament, which, however was guilty of
the curious inconsistency of holding up
the state, church and ecclesiastical law
of marriage with one hand and permit
ting escape from it with the other, and
we are in this curious condition now.
though the canon law is not supreme
and marriage is civil contract. You
take the laws upon our statute books.
Some of them carry the implication
that marriage is a sacrament; some of
them carry the implication thatit is only
a civil sacrament, and they talk of it as
divine sacrament never to be annull-
ed except as God has implied. We are
in this illogical and contradictory posi-
ton, both in our law and public senti-
ment Req. w. j. Sagage.

LOCAL NEWS.

Mr.. Norman, of the firm of Norman,
Blankenship II Co., manufacturers of wool
en- goods was in the city yesterday. He
reports an excellent outlook for their bust
ness tor the coming season. Their mill is
located at Harrisburg, Saline County, in
the midst OF a wool growing country and
| their manufacturers are standard articles.
Their jeans and CASHMERE clothes are equal
to any in the market, while the blankets
they are making take the lead wherever
they have been introduced. Mr.. Norman
informs US that their growing business
necessi,ated the adding of new engine
and other machinery. Their supply of raw
material has heretofore been drawn largely
from Saline, Johnson, Pope and Marion
Counties; but they are now looking out for
the wool crop Of Massac, Pulaski, Alexan-
der and Union Counties.
Several members at Tuesday nights
meeting of the City Council seemed to have
come there with the preconceived purpose
OF creating devil Of stink; and so well
did they succeed in this purpose, that YER
bahm report Of all that was said at this
meeting would not be fit for publication
even in the Police Gazette. The Aldermen
let themselves lose, so TO speak, and they
foundered about in a pool of nastiness
created by themselves, with no other evil
dent purpose than to satisfy their own I'M
worthy passions, or to give vent to personal
hatreds and spites. Certainly, they could
not have exhibited themselves in a more
unfavorabe light, shown their weaknesses
more strongly and striven harder to accom-
plish nothing, than they did. 1t must have
been painful enough to most any one of or
binary sensibility and sense, to sit there
and listen for an hour or longer to wild
rantings about things sprung upon the
spur OF the moment, without any previous
deliberaton at all, and to the offensive and
disconnected spuTts of passion, in which
the social condition of the city was repre-
sented with shameless disregard of ordi-
nary decornun and of truth But it was
worse still-it was disgusting to see an AL
derman, who is expected, the moment he
enters the Council Chamber in his official
capacity, to lay aside all personal hatreds,
factioned feeling and selfish motives, and
20 attend to the public business solely with
view to the general public good to see
him permit his dislike of persons to prompt
and guide his action in that body, with
view solely to the injury OF the object of his
dislike; to see him use his official position
and the authority thereby conferred upon
him, for the purpose Of venting his spleen
against men whom he doesn't like any too
well for some reason of his own. There is
good reason to believe that if the Aldermen
who figured most prominently in this dis
graceful business will review their conduct
and words in moment of calmness, they
will feel as heartily ashamed of themselves |
as the audience that attended their exhibi.
ton were Disguised

Hot Water as a Remedy.

There is no remedy of such general

home IN carriage, suffering excruciating
pain from rheumatism. They thought be

more, and were about to send for doctor,
but were advised to try Athlophoros. Let
him continue the narrative: III commenced
with it at once and took it until two o'clock

slept the balance of the night and awoke
the next morning free from pain, and in
fact, my rheumatism was all gone.
