Convict Marriages in New Caledonia.

When it has been decided, after due
inquiry, that couple-say A and b
may unite in marriage, it is sought to
excite in each of the parties an interest
in each other. A is told all about the
past life OF b, and vice-versa; they are
also shown each others photographs.
Then, if the parties do not object to
meet, an appointment is made; and
they generally see each other in the
parlor of the female prison in presence
of the matron. As to this, however,
the manner of interviews varies; for
the matyon and chaplains may arrange
matters as they please, so that every
thing be done with propriety. The in
tended bridegroom is always in posses
sion of a cottage and n plot of land,
for he can not marry until it is proved
that he can maintain himself out of the
produce of his holding, eked out by the
wages he may receive as laborer on
public works. Naturally he is not COM
PEELED to take the bride whom the au-
thorities have designated for him. If
she pleasos him at first sight, he gen.
orally sees her two or three times more
before a regular engagement is made.
She goes to visit his cottage in CON-
pany with a nun, or some employment
is given her out of doors in laundry or
dairy, where she may be seen in COM
parative freedom. When at last the
engagement is concluded, the intended
bride goes and spends few days at
the Convent of Our Lady of Mercy,
held by the Augustine nuns; and it is
there that the marriage takes place with
the smallest amount of publicity pos
sible. If the parties cannot afford to
buy gold wedding-ring, silver one
is provided for them. After the mar
riage the convict couple become pro-
stationary free colonsts under certain
conditions; they must dress in brown;
they must not enter any establishment
where intoxicating liquors are sold;
and they must not leave their cottage
after nightiall without u written per-
nit These and other restrictions are
gradually removed in reward for good
conduct, till at last the There condi-
tional becomes free settler and pro-
prietor of his piece of land.

Why The Case Went Over.

Colonel W. T. Grace, Of Pine Bluff,
ArHan rs, Il lawyer of fine abilities and
Il gentleman OF high cultivation, was
at on, time, thou n happily not now,
somewhat addicted TO lifting a glass
with here's to you" comment. On
one occasion his conyivial frankness
was the cause Of his taking up So
jaurn in jill. Daring session of
court, held by The late Judge Murray,
Colonel Grace was called in to defend
man indicted for assault with intent
to kill. When he made his appear
ance, the Judge, at once observing that
he was "lired,' regretted having
called him.
Colonel Grace" said his honor,
"this case can 90 over if it suits your
convenience"
NO, sir, we are ready to 90 into
trial"
But persisted the Judge, winking
at the prosecuting attorney, 81 am in
favor OF the case going over.
I'm not, exclaimed Colonel Grace.
"The witnesses are all here, and 1
want to 20 on with the case"
Il don't think that you are in con.
dlton to attend the case"
why, sir?' demanded the Colonel,
with an air Of confidence.
If you must know, it is because you
are too drunk"
The colonel, Strengthening himself,
replied: III this court says that am
drunk, this court is a id liar"
4 few minutes later, the colonel was
in the county Jail, having, in addition
TO Imprisonment, been fined fifty dol
lprs. lie was soon released and taken
to hotel When court convened that
day, Colonel Grace, upon answering to
his name, arose and said:
"IOur honor, yesterday, in conse-
qucncG Of drunkenness, | used con-
temptuous language, for which | was
fined fifty dollars and sent to Jail.
| am man in mature life, and
yesterday was the first time that |
ever SO far forgot myself as to cast
reflections on court Of justice; and
! now desire to say, that | indorse
the action Of the court, and request
that the fine Of fifty dollars be not re-
mi.tci,"
Il VII remit the fine" said the
judge.
NO, your honor, | should be made
to pay il, and it is my earnest desire
that YOU do not remit it.
The fine was paid, and whether or
MOI this had a direct tendency to turn
a career We cannot say, but Colonel
Grace is now one Of the most influen-
TIL and consistent temperance reform
workers in the State. -ArbuaSdW Irau-

Hetty, and had worked myself up to
the sticking point, SCI |, "Hetty, if o
fellow was to ask you to marry him,
what would you dop' Then she
laughed, and says she, That would
depend on who asked me- Then SEE
!, "Suppose it was Ned Wills?' See
she, I'D tell Ned Willis, but not YOU"
That kinder staggered me but | was
too cute to lose the opportunity, and SO
l seq again, Suppose it was meP"
Then you ortcr see her pout up her
lip, and seq she, 81 don't take no sup
poses.' Well, now you see, there was
nothing for me to do but touch the gun
of. So bang it went. SEE !, "Lor',
Hetty, its me; won't you say yesP'
And then there was such hullaballoo
in my head. | don't know exactly
what TUX place, but l heard 'yes'
whispering somewhere in the Skin
mish."

nifty bad way, and she sed:
The best is always took Youngest;

CRATE injesticc in this world"
Nose, which is our cat, don't have

my father he sed:
II CESS so, Billy, cos I've obserfcd

Sunday evening big Irishman, after
having "surrOunded' little too much "oh-
be-hellful," tried to surround" the whole
sale liquor store of Mcssrs. R. Smyth & Co.,
Ohio I.evee, also, promising the fete with
an exhibition of his skill as window
smasher. Using his fists and feet almost
simultaneously, he broke in one pane of
glass after another, until thirteen panes
lay in smithereens on the sidewalk, and
then he concluded the entertainment with a
brief, practical treatise on geology in
which he illustrated very forcibly, the de.
structive power of rocks and the superior
qualities of Cairo mud as a factor in deco.
rative house painting. While the artist
was thus engaged large crowd gathered
around, but no one interfsred with the cir
Gus until young Jack Sullivon came along,
who "pasted" the fellow one under the
ear, sending head first out into the street.
But the man recovered himself soon and
had just gone to work again as before,
when Officer McTigue arrived upon the
scene, and, with the assistance of several
good men, conducted the man to jail.
Yesterday the prisoner was brought before
Magistrate Comings, to whom he gave the
name of Tom Elliott, and whoIfned him
$25 and costs.
