In his monthly report of the op erations of
the geological survey, Director Powell says
that the close of the month of January found
no Typographical parties in the field. Prof.
Walling concluded his slabors in New England
on the fifteenth of Janury. The other tri-
angulation and topographic parties havo been
rapidly pushing the computation of triangles
and plating the data collected during the
field season. Mr.. George Shut has continued
his investigations relative to the forestry OF
Virginia and West Virginia No geologic
field work was attempted during the month.
Mr. Emmons and his assistants were occupied
in the preparation of the Leadville report
and the census volume on precious metals.
An unusually fine geologic collection from
the Yellowstone park was received. The
fourth annual report of the director will be
ready during the month of March.

Mr.. Ransom who on Monday introduced
Joint resolution in tho senate making an
appropriation for the relief of tho persons
who suffered by the recent cyclones in the
south, reported it back yesterday adversely
from the committee on appropriations to
which It had been referred. In explanation
Of this action Mr. Ransom said that from tho
information received from tho statos
which were swept by tho cyclones tho
committee came to tho conclusion that the
sufTorings are not of that widespread trans
condant, and paramount character which
placed them beyond the power of the local
authorities to relieve.
At this point Mr.. Ransom draws the line
When the suffering caused by an unexpected
disaster is so extensive that it cannot be
readily relieved by state and municipal aid
and by private charity, then the federal gov
ernment may extend its bounty. This is
very good rule, but it affords no great as.
sstance to tho legislator for ho is still left to
determine for himself tho character and ex-
tent of disaster that will Justify him in
voting for On appropriation. 1t is question
OF degree rather than principle. There can
be no guide but the individual conscience and
the individual judgment.
1t appears that the senate committee on ap-
propriations had no doubt as to the authority
of congress to extend aid in this case if it
| AL 81 a.. Nao Ina
to say that the adverse report was not made
because the committee deemed affirmative
action unconstitutional He was prepared
with precedonts to show that such action had
been regarded as constitutional from the be-
ginning of tho government to the present
| day. Nr. Garland, who is a good lawyer and
is generally great stickler for the letter of
the constitution, concurred in Mr.. Ransom's
views, and said he did not doubt tho author
ity of congress to mako such appropriations
when they are needed. This one was only
refused because in the judgment of the com
mittee and of tho senate it was not needed.
1t was entirely proper that this matter
should be acted upon promptly, to the end
that the people who suffered by the recent
storms may cease to look 10 congress for
relief. If the damage is too great to be
repaired by private contributions, then the
state legislatures should take tho matter in
hand and make such appropriations as the me-
cessitios of the case may require. In the mean.
time there is wide field for the exercise of pri-
vate charity, and those who have escaped the
severe visitations which have impoverished
so many people in the south should not be
slow to respond to the call for aid.

THE Authors club of New York gave Mr.
Matthew Arnold dinner on Thursday even
ing, and in response to very complimentary
address by Mr.. Charlton 4. Lewis MIR. Arnold
said some pleasant things about the "literary
class" which might not have been relished
by the Rev. Joseph Cook if he had been pres.
ent Said Mr.. Arnold: "Were it not for the
literary class the great public, am convinced,
would never have listened to me at all, and
if the literary class did not support me the
public would cease to attend to me. Should
the literary class withdraw its support the
public would give itself up to such charmers
as tho Rev. Joseph Cook 1t will be re-
membered that Mr, Cook severely criticised
Mr. Arnold's theology.

AMUSENIENTS.
THE NArIoNAI.-THE MINISTRIES.

THE NATIoNAL-THE MINSTRELs.
The National was crowded last night at the
initial performance of Barlow, Wilson IL Co.'s
minstrels. The principal defect about this
organization is the superabundance of excel
lence that characterizes them. The audience
suffers from an embarrassment Of riches.
The programme is too long to satisiac-
torily specify. No intermission between
acts divertj the attention from
rapid and pleasant qualification of the
fancy The social season beginning the
performance brought out the abilities of the
''tambos" and the bones" The former COM
pose the well known George Wilson, Frank
Moran, Fred, Bell, Barry McKisson; and the
latter, such popular performers as Milt. Bar
low, Billy Carter Harry Crawford, and Bar
ney Pagan. The Introductory overture by the
full organization was noticeable for ringing
and magnetic melody, the playing being thor
oughly artistic and harmonious Among the
soloists, Walter Hawkinss contro-tenor
voice was especially remarkable, Fol-
lowing this came succession of
original and laughable performances each of
high order Of merit and each greeted with
roars of laughter aud the most enthusiastic
applause. Hughey Dougherty, Washington'5
favOrite, did not reach tho city until $3.50
last evening, and consequently had no time
to rchearse. He appeared, however, in the
latter part of tho entertainment in
one of his burlesque stump speeches,
which fairly carried the audience.
The whole performance concluded
with what is aptly described on the bills as a
grand romantic spectacular burlesque opera,
only little more so entitled the Enchanted
Castle" in which pirates, brigands drug clerks,
bartenders and sowing machine agents are
mixed up in the most heterogeneous mass OF
fun imaginable.
This afternoon a matinee will introduce
the full strength Of the company, and to-
night concludes the minstrels' engagement
FoRp's-THE wYNDHAM COMPANY.
The best house of the week greeted the
Criterion company at Ford's last night. The
opening commedetta of "Ruth's Romance
was admirably calculated 10 exhibit the
artistic acting Of Miss Rose Sakes in which
she was finely supported by Messrs. Draycott
and TeOsdale.
The afterpiece Of Fourteen Days. brough
out the versatility and true merit Of the entir
troupe but specially displayed the talent o
Mr.. Wyndham as that Of a thoroughly fin
ished and cultured artist 1t equally dis
played the artistic ability Of Miss Kate Rorke
as well as of Messrs. Giddens and Blakely.
The power Of this company to place upoi
the stage any one of their numerous com
edies with equal success shows the artist
excellence which this company has won
f Tonight will be presented "The Househol

afternoon "Loyes Device" and "Ihe Gre'

A Tax Oh Marriage.

1t costs $3.50 to get married in Maryland
that is, the state exacts this sum from every
man who contemplates marriage within its
limits before it gives him permission to carry
out his intention. So oppressive is this bur-
den to people in humble circumstances that
those living along tho northern border about
to be Joined in wedlock frequently cross over
to Pennsylvania to have the ceremony per-
formed and thus escape the license fee.
Many who live within easy reach of the
District of Columbia come here to get
married, the license fee being only 81.
Whatever may have been the original
intention of requiring marriage licC.so
TO be taken ont before the ceremony
could be performed in Maryland, it is purely
a revenue measure, and the law is maintained
for no other purpose
1t is probable that the lawmakers who
devised this system of raising revenue in
tended to impose upon tho officers who
the competency of the parties named therein
to enter into marriage contract The clerk
of the court from which the license issues
gets portion Of the fee, and in the old times
he may have been required to make diligent
inquiry as to whether any law of the state
was about to be violated, whether the parties
were of age, and, if minors, whether the
consent of parents or guardians had been
obtained. In these days the clerk fills up
the blanks as tho party applying for the
license directs takes the money, and dis
misses the matter from his mind.
If any law Is broken the penalty falls, not
| upon the clerk who authorizes the marriage
| in the name of the state and gets paid foI
| issuing the certificate, but upon the poor
preacher, who generally has no means OF
ascertaining any facts with regard to the par
ties beyond what is stated in the license
Should prosecution follow, the license is ne
defense. If the license gives ladys ago as
Il, and in point of fact she is only II, 1t Il
tho preacher, and not the clerk of thu
court, who is held responsible The Ii
| Ccnse Is no protection TO puDllc moran
aud no safeguard against illegal marriages
Although the license book is public record
the taking out of license does not even giv'
public notice of an intended marriage, excep
in tho larger towns and cities, whore thes
entries are published in the newspapers
For some reason or other Maryland insist
on continuing this oppressive and unreason
able tax on marriage, bill was introduced
at the present session of tho Legislature
reducing tho fee from $3.50 to so cents, but i
was defeated in tho house Of delegates ol
Thursday last, the opponents of the bill usinI
all manner of parliamentary tricks to get tn
bill out of the way while some of its sup
, porters were absent.

Z PERE HYACINTHE changed his opinion on
most important subject within seven days
On Feb he wrote letter to tho New Or
leans Cremation society saying that he would
be glad to hear the question ofincinoration dis
cussed by competent gentlemen, but with his
present knowledge he was obliged to hold
that by giving to the earth the remains of
those whom wo love, and whom we long 10
see again, we give them the highest consecra-
tion that they can possibly receive" In Il

Pere Hyacinthe says that he has been
convinced that all his objections to incinera.
tion "were based on mere prejudices."

SECRETARY LINCOLN reported to the last
congress that the government had on hand
lat the date of the report 6l2 cannon not
needed for the public defense. OF these 575
are so heavy that their transportation to any
point at which they might be wanted would
cost more than they are worth. This leaves
81 that might be used for adorning com
otery or casting monument. Although the
government only owned G7 condemned can
non available for gifts year ago, bills have
been introduced in the present congress call
ing for the donation of 80 cannon to various
Grand Army posts and other associations, and
there are still 1O4 cannon to be delivered
under acts that have already passed. The
government will have to set up a foundry tC
supply the demand for portable guns
