OF the minor states of Germany have
had laws upon their statute books for
bidding marriage until the contracting
parties We're long past youth. This re.
suited III the formation of unlawful
unions and the birth of many illegiti-
mate children. The couples lived to-
gether till the legal age and then were
married, but the children born out of
wedlock We're held to be Legitimate

New York Court of Appeals, recently.
however, decided that couple born in

One OF our inferior courts had held that
as the law III the State of New York de-
clares 1llegitimate children shall not in
herit, even though the parents are sub.
sequently married, therefore the elder
children of this Wurtemburg couple
had no claims on the property of their
parents. AS the marriage, however.

Court OF Appeals justly held that there
should be no property distinctions

RandOlph'S Whitening Sarcasm

During the debate in Congress on the
Missouri question, Mr.. Philemon
Beecher, a native of Connecticut who
had emigratea to Ohio, and had there
been elected a Representative, became
somewhat impatient as his dinner-hour
approached, and at last, when John
Randolph made a somewhat lengthy
pause, moved "the previous question"
The Speaker said "The gentleman
from Virginia has the floor" and Ran.
iolph proceeded, to be again inter.
rupted when he paused again to collect
his thoughts, by a demand for "the
previous question:" nor was it long be.
fore the demand was made for the
third time. Randolph could stand il
40 longer, but said, in a voice as shrill
as the cry of peacock: "Mr. Speaker,
IN the Netherlands, a man of small ca.
pacity, with bits of wood and leather,
will IN a few moments construct that
which, with the pressure of the finger
and thumb, will cry Cuckoo! cuckoo!'
With less ingenuity and with inferior
materials, the people of Ohio have
made toy that will, without much
pressure, cry, Previous question! pre-.
eious question ," and, as he spoke,
Randolph pointed with his attenuated
mdex-tinger at Beecher, who did not
attempt reply.-Ben: Perley Poore,

Sci4 Anderson Drowned.

The Duluth Tribune of Tuesday
has the following item:
Abount Two O'Clock Sunday after
noon, Nels Anderson, a weIl-known
plasterer, went to Ricc's Point with
several other Swedes, to battle in st.
Louis bay The party had selected
a spot on the shore near the North
ern Pacific tracks. Anderson reached
the place first, and was i'll the water
before the others had removed their
clothing. He got beyond his depth
and was drowned before his friends
could assist him. The body was re-
covered an hour afterward. Coroner
Thompson was notified Immediately.
He examined few witnesses, but con-
sidered no inquest necessary. The ev-
idence showed that it was a case of ac-
cidental drowning, and that the man
was under the influence of liquor when
he went into the water The remains
were removed to Grand Army hall,
and buried in the Scandinavian GEM
etery near New London yesterday
afternoon. The deceased leaves wife
and five children, living on West
Fifth street.

Uncle EDS Ruse.

Uucle Eb, as we used to call him,
among lots of good qualities had one
failing. He did love good liquor; but
such was the state of credit that no one
would trust him. He therefore one day
resorted to trick to answer the great
desire of his appetite. He took two
case-bottles, put a quart of water into
one of them, then put bottle in each
pocket, and started for the public
house. It'll take a quart of your gin, 1"
said Uncle Eb, as he placed the empty
bottle on the counter. The gin was put
in, and the bottle was replaced in his
pocket, when Uncle Eb pulled from his
purse what at a distance might seem
like q new two-shilling piece. This
is nothing but tin, Uncle Eb, >"
said the trader Eth, now, it's two
shilling piece" said Uncle Eb. It's
tin, said the trader; 4 shan't take it. +"
Its all I've got" every well; you
can't have the gin" Uncle Eb, with
out much demurring, pulled from his
pocket the quart of water. The trader
took it, poured it into the gin-barrel,
and off went Uncle Eb, chuckling.

Transporting Flowers i'm Potatoes.

A gentleman from Utica in Louis
vile, who wished to send some beauti-
full flower buds to his wife, was at a loss
how to do so. A florist friend said he
would fix them. He cut a potato into
two pieces and bored holes in them into
which he inserted the stems of the
buds, and placed them in a box with
cotton to support them. A letter from
the recipient acknowledged the remem-
brance, and said that the buds had de-
veloped into full-blown flowers. There
is sufficient moisture in a goodsized
potato to support flower for two weeks
in moderately-cool temperature.
Flowers from bouquets or baskets may
be preserved in the same way. The
potatoes may be hidden by leaves or

The Whisky idiot.

"Men, when they are half or two
thirds full, writes a bar-keeper, seem
to be possessed of the idea that they are
hugely amusing to the man behind the
bar. The ong-suffering bar-keeper
sees nothing funny in drunken man.
1t is the old story to him, and if whisky
idiots could see the murder that is often
glaring in a bar-keeper's soul, they
would go right home to their wives and
children. Let sober man watch a
gang of men twenty minutes who have
drunk twenty or thirty glasses of whisky
during the day, and he would swear
that the insane asylum contained more
good sense. The bar-keeper dislikes to
be rude, and so tolerates lot of drivel-
ing idiots until he is ready to tear out a
few handfuls of hair, give kick and a
gasp, and die with disgust"

Memorial 10 Bishop kcmper.

1t has been thought best in order
that the subject may be thoroughly
understood by the people of Wiscon-
sin, to lay before them a short history
of kemper Hall and Of the help now
needed in order to make It's work per
manent.
1t was the dearest wish Of Bishop
kemper to build up in Wisconsin Il
school fer girls to give them the high
est type Of literary training, together
with that education cf character, NOR
al and religious, which we all know is
needed TO make the perfect Christian
woman. At the time the Bishop was
called to rest from his labors this prop
erty at kenosha had been purchased
and partly paid for, and his successor
determined to make of it Il memorial
to the Bishop, and as he belonged al
most equally to the whole northwest
the school was put into the hands Of
trustees, in order that the other states
might feel in it an interest and fright.
In order to put the property into pro-
per condition, finish the chapel, build
necessary schoolrooms, etc, the sum of
$4,000 was borrowed, the school was
taken by the Rev. DR.: Everhart and
opened with every prospect of success.
Before this prospect had become GER
tainty DR.. Everhart gave it up and
went to Il more southern climate and
it became necessary to make new ar
rangements. The trustees INVITED the
aid of the sisters of St. Mary, an order
Of woman of the Protestant Episco-
pal church III America who have Civ
en- up their lives to working, not for
money but for Chrlst's sake, wherever
work is to be done They came, and
have made of the school perfect sue
cess; 1t is full Of scholars of all ages
and from all churches. There is but
one verdict; it is Il school good in its
mental training, good in its church
work, good in helping to form pure
wives and mothers for the furture.
Now for the part we must take Shall
we turn from our state this school
wherein our daughters can obtain a
liberal education ut small cost and
near their homes, or shall we keep it?
In order to do this the debt must be
paid, and at once. The income will
pay all the expenses and make all re-
pairs can it be used for these purposes,
but not if it must be paid out for in
terest. Now we call on the churchmen
of Wisconsin, on all who knew Bishop
Kemper, on all in our church or out
of it, who love Wisconsin and desire
to keep within her borders so good n
work, to aid us in paying this debt.
Let us not lay down a work we can
and ought to carry on ourselves.
The school courts inquire and any
questions will be gladly answered by
Bishop Wells, Milwaukee, or Mrs.

that the body has been found and that

should this be the case, it should not be
disposed of until such action has been
taken. Perhaps if you would give this
