Marriage of n Hebrew and GENTLE.

NEW HAVEN, Sept. 2G.-Much surpris,
was occasioncd among the Hebrews in this
city to-day when it was learned that Davit
Bretzfelder, young gentleman promincn
among the adhcrcnts of that faith, haC
married Miss Kittic Cannon, of Broa(
street, member of strictly Roman Cath
olic family. Brctzfcllcr, who is an en-
ploye OF the post office, has been acquainted
WIN MISS Cannon for several years. Rev
Father MalOncy, Of st. Johns church
performed the ceremony in the presence OF
a few friends Of the contracting parties
None of Bctzfcldcr's relatives knew thol
he was to be married. His best man was
John Moran, and the bridesmaid was Miss
Kittie Moran. 1t is said that Brclzrcldrr
some time ago went to Father Maloncy
and told him that he was ready to dcnounC1
his faith and adopt Catholicity, and il is
understood that he did so. He belongs to
highly respectable Hebrew family, but
was willing to sacrifice everything in order
to win pretty Miss Cannon.

counts of great rain storm and much de-

From September II to 23 a tremendous

up to the night of the 23d, aud the wind is
SAID to have reached velocity of nearly
one hundred miles per hour.
Over two hundred houses in Brownsville
were blown down and large number
damaged, rendering homeless some three
hundred families. In Matamoras over
three hundred houses were levcllcd and

Business Courtesv.

In visiting business offices one meets 6
great variety Of persons, Most are kind
courteous, and accommodating; others arc
fair to medium in these respects; another
class-fortunatcly very small-are in il
humor nearly all the time, full Of grufr
ness, and cranky, having much of the na
turo Of such unpleasant and fretful animals
as bears and porcupines a fourth class arc
languid and Indifferent in their replies tc
civil questions, and are apt to be tinctured
more or less with a sort of superciliousness
and well-developcd self-importance
These persons appear to think that if they
would unbcnd, throw off their awful dig.
nifty, and try to he accommodating, they
would not be estimated at their true worth
and Importance. This class is generally
composed of young men who have more
conccit than good sense, and requires O
good many years for some Of them to get
cured, the time required for cure depend
ing upon'thc vigor Of their mental constitu-
tion. The newspaper man has met all
these characters and ''sized them up" aud
can pigeon hole them as rapidly as postal
clerk can pigeon-holc letters.

TRIBAL

The House Indian Committee has SUBJ
mitted the following novel question to
the Attorney General: Scan Congress
constitutionally enact a law cutting off
the tribal relations of Indian women who
marry citizens OF the United States "
The special committee that investigated
Indian matters last Summer discovered
that a large number of white men marry
squaws il order to obtain the annuities
and rations that are granted to members
of the tribe, and it is believed that a law
that would make the squaw that would
marry a white man lose her tribal rela'
tions, would break up q large proportion
of such marriages in the future. Under
existing circumstances a good many men
marry squaws who, so far as drawing IN
nuities is concerned, are Indians, but
they also claim the right to vote and act
generally as American citizens.
A case has just been decided in the In
terror Department which involves som
of the points at issue. An Irishmar
named Donahue, who was also In Ameri'
can citizen, married a squaw. was ad'
opted by the tribe and drew his annuity
like an Indian. Finally he had a row
with the tribe and the council turned
him out and notified the Indian agent
that he was no longer a member of the
tribe. Donahue appealed to the Indian
Commissioner, who reinstated him, but
the Secretary of the Interior overruled
his decision, holding that as the tribe
originally granted him the right to be-
long to it, that it alone could control
that right. He further held that there
was no tribunal in the United States that
could review the proceedings OF an Indian
council.

IRISH FEDERATION.

There seems to be a good deal Of need.
less misapprebension as to the reasons
why Mr.. Gladstone's Home Rule bill
does not provide for Irish representation
in the Imperial Parliament. But what
the Irish want is home Parliament.
They can wait for the privilege of repre-
sentation in Westminster, until the
principles of our Federal Government
are sufficiently understood and appreci.
ated in England and Scotland to revolu-
tionize the system of legislation and to
require local Legislatures. Then, and
not till then, there could be a system Of
double representation, in all parts of
Great Britain. Mr.. Healy's great speech
last week put the case tersely and
clearly, when he said: "You can't have
federation till you have got the Legisla.
lures to federate with"
This is the case in a nutshell, and the
exceedingly able and lucid contribution
of Michael Davitt to the April number
of the Contemporary Review closes with
an equally clear appreciation Of the in.
dispensable conditions for Irish repre-.
sentation in both the local and Imperial
Parliaments. at would be" says he,
unjust to Great Britain to allow Irish
members TO interfere in its affairs, while
Ireland would have the complete man.
agement of her own local matters. 1t
would be better for the Irish people and
better for the Empire to leave Ireland to
the task OF developing her material re.
sources, the promotion Of necessary social
reforms, and OF educating herself in
~self-governing qualities, until such time
as the adoption of some scheme for I'm
perial Federation would make it mutu.
ally advantageous to Ireland, Great
Britain and the rest Of the Empire, to
have proportionate representation in an
Imperial Assembly for the transaction of
purely Imperial business"
Such statements, by such able and
powerful Irish leaders, ought to reassure
those unrefecting or ill-informed Ameri.
can friends of Irish Home Rule who
seem to think that Mr.. Gladstone was
guilty of a grevious oversight or blunder
in not providing for the Irish a monopoly
of the double system Of representation,
which presupposes and requires, as Mr..
Healy we'll suggests, several local Legis.
l~atures. A little reflection ON this point
viii serve to satisfy most intelligent
Americans.
