Arrival of the Bar tholdi Statue.

The French vessel "Isere," from
Rouen, bearing the long-expected
Bartholci Statue of Liberty, arrived at
NewY ork on Tuesday night June 10th.
On the following morning the United
States steamer Omaha received the Wis
itor with full honors, yards manned and
bunting spread. The numerous pleas
ure crafts in the lower bay also were
full-dresSed for the occasion and We'd
with each other in payingt their respects
to the stranger. The statue committee
hailed the vessel and were invited on
board by the commandant, Lespinasse
de Saune. The officers and sailors of
the Isere received General Stone with
marked courtesy. After few hurried
words of introduction and greeting the
party proceeded to the commandments
cabin, where the necessary formalities
were observed.
When General Stone emerged from
the commandments cabin he had the
document of transfer, which was in
morocco-covered case, in his hand. On
the left hand corner of the parchment
was a picture representing the statue
as it will appear when completed and
On the other side were the pictures of
Washington and Lafayette. A public
reception in honor of the French guests
was given on Friday.

ENGLAND is in stew. Since Glad

new cabinet finds itself in perplex-

points and now they want the kind

The New Marriage Law.

The New Marriage Law.
We give in to-day's paper the. full
text of the act regulating marriages in
this State, now in the hands of Gov
ernor Pattison. 1t is reasonable to
assume that he will give it his ap-
proval, and thus throw its much need
ed restraints around the homes of
Pennsylvania.
1t has been assumed by several of
our contemporaries that this journal
was in error in stating that the new
statute would end informal marriages,
but careful study of the text seems
to fully warrant the Interpretation
given in these columns. The first
section declares "that from and after
the 1st day of October, 1885, no per-
SON aoithin The Commonwealth shall
be Joined IN marriage until license
shall have been obtained" etc. AS
any form of marriage, however in
formal, is being coined in marriage"
there does not appear to be any ex-
ception to the rule of the new statute.
This Interpretation is apparently con-
firmed by the special provision for
license where "the parties intend SOL
emnizing their marriages them
selves" They are also required to
obtain license and furnish their own
certifcation of their act for record in
the Orphans Court.
The obvious intent of the new law,
therefore, seems to be that there can
be no lawful marriages in this'State
after the lst of October next-assum-
ing that the Governor shall approve
the act-without special license OBJ
tanned from the Clerk of the Orphans
Court of the proper county. True,
there is no special nullity clause in the
new act, such as there is in the State
of Kentucky !; but like license laws in
several States, without any special
nullity clause, have been held by their
Supreme Courts as meaning that all
informal marriages are null and void.
The clear intent of the laW-making
power is that hereafter all marriages
in this State shall be ceremonial, at
least to the extent of the contracting
parties obtaining a license and filing
their certificate of record, and there
will be safety only in obedience to the
wise provisions of the statute.

Crop and Business Prospects.

PITTsBURG, June 19.-Reports of the
crop and business condition, made to
Dun's Commercial Agency in this city,
from Western Pennsylvania, Eastern
Ohio and West Virginia indicate that
the limit of the commercial depression
has been reached. There seems to be
nothing insuperable in the way of good
crops of almost everything except win
ter wheat. The farmers have been e.
conomizing and now need all manner
OF implements with which to cultivate
the soil. AS soon as they see a sure
market for the growing crops they will
begin to buy. The interchange of COM
modities and cash thus produced will
90 more to revive business than a big
wheat crop. The resumption to the
iron industries will assist in the return
of confidence to the hearts of all who
till and toll.

THE RAPIDS INUNDATED.

On Tuesday afternoon the ice in the
Manitowoc River above the Rapids gave
way and came down with a rush. 1t
lodged little above the village, but it
was evident it couldn't hold out long.
The persons canvassing the votes worked
until II O'Clock but had watch kept on
the river so that the food would not sur
prise them. Through the night the ice
moved on, passed over Klingholz dam,
lifted up the bridge just below, but did
not take it away, struck the lower bridge
and carried it bodily to the island few
rods farther down and formed solid
dam. Then the village became. flooded
and people abandoned their houses.
Some old and feeble people were carried
TO places of safety on the backs of the
younger and more vigorous. Large
blocks of ice hoated on the floods and
lodged in orchards so that the village
presents frigid and somewhat pictur-
ssque appearance. In some cases it was
impossible to get cattle out of stables and
they stand in water which reach to their
bodies.
The loss of the bridge will probably
result in the discontinuance of the road
The bridge is the same one about which
the town and county were lately in lit
igation.

bridge and will not be candidate for
reelection. he finds it necessary to
quit the lake shore because of his failing
health. There is no more deserving man
in the city than Pat. For years he has
been in i'll health but he never ided. In
addition to tending the bridge he has
picked mp odd jobs by which he made a
little more than his salary. But every
thing went to support his aged parents,
and he quits the city in search of health
but he must also look for labor He is
likely too proud man to accept any as
sistance which friends may offer but he
should get certificate of character which
would make him friends wherever be goes.

TUESDAY morning had the proverbial
election day air, cloudy, with frequent
rain spirits and muddy streets. The
usual crowds stood around the several
polling places manifesting degree of
activity which showed that they felt the
fate of the county was in their hands.
The tide ran strongly in favor of @. II.
Schmidt, particularly on the south side.
The Third ward seemed to be wildly
enthusiastic in his favor and all the work
ers put in their time in furthering his
interests. Still the election was very
orderly and there were no quarrels al
though the usual stimulants were dealt
out literally.

MANY people do not understand why
Easter Sunday is movable festival, and
how the date is determined. In the
early days of the church there WAS con-
siderable disagreement as to the date on
which Easter should fall. 1t was finally
decided by the Council of Nice that Eea-
ter should fall on the first Sunday fol-
lowing the first full moon after the YER.
nal equinox. The vernal equinox occurs
on the Dist of March. This wear the
moon had attained its fullness on March
30th, which was Monday. TIE next
Sunday following was April 4th, which
was Easter according to the rule fixed.
Ii the moon is full March 21st, Easter
occurs on March 22nd, the earliest pos
sihle. A lunar month is about % DAYS,
SO if the moon fills March Goth, Easter
is postponed at least lunar month and
at the latest cannot pass April 25th.-
With the aid of an almanac any one can
tx the day on which Easter will fall for
any year.

A CLERGYMAN should not be unmiudful
OF the fact that when he makes the press
the medium of communicating with the
public, he does not enjoy the same i'm
nunity which the pulpit offers; and when
censorship is attempted by person of
the cloth it is not too much to expect
digniied utterance suited to the sanctity
Of the calling, even if foreign to the
character of the man. Zeal has abundant
opportunities for exercise in legitimate
channels without becoming lmpertinent
in act or offensive in language, and has a
field SO wide for its display as to afford
no excuse for putting up man of straw
to be knocked down. An over ohicious
sense Of duty might impel man to
bestow a lecture for a fancied offense,
but is rarely strained SO as to include
license to abuse and thus trespass on the
propriety which it so ostentatiously
champions. You lie'' and "You fool"
have neither force or originality to COM
mend them, and their use can only be
palliated by pleading passion or very
limited and lily chosen vocabulary.
This paper has always treated clergy
men with respect, something due their
personal worth in many cases, but when
that consideration is wanting, in defer.
encs to tho sentiment which reveres their
calling. 1t expects from them that
courtesy which marks gentleman's con-
duct. 1t does not deprecate comment on
anything it may publish even when that
which is in fact and intent, harmless,
should appear so monstrous to con-
science of exquisite delicacy as to call
forth avigorous public protest. But il asks
that the protest be couched in becoming
language even though its matter does not
bear the impress of cool reflection or a
nice discrimination of what is proper.
