State Senator Johnson, of Dorchester
has raised the Mountaineering question
whether the clause in the new marriage
license law requiring the Campbell index
to he used was ever passed by the Legis-
lature. Mr.. johnson states his impression
to be that the clause, "being Objectionable
to large number Of Senators, was strick-
en- out and the bill then passed" Il am
as positive about this, he adds, las man
can be who has not had anything to re-
fresh his memory on the subject since the
close OF the session. 1t seems improb-
able, to say, the least, that the Senate could
have assented to a mandatory provision
of this sort without some discussion, and
a thorough investigation of the circum-
stances attending the passage of the bill
would appear to be in order. Another
interesting point is raised by the query
whether the 81 license fee goes entirely to
the clerk of the court or is to be divided
between the clerk and the State treasury
The language Of the law seems to be in ia.
vor of the clerk, but the new license blanks
furnished by the comptroller fix the cost
of license at so cents, and the clerks fee
at so cents, indicating that the treasury
officers do not accept the view that the
clerk may pocket the whole dollar.-Bal

Home Rule Defeated.

MIR. Gladstone's appeal to the people on
his Irish Home Rule policy has resulted
in far more decisive defeat of the meas
ure than it met in Parliament last month
The complete election returns show that,
while the Liberals held their own ia Ire
land, they have lost 81 seats in England
This, it is thought, will give the Tories
working ma jority in Parliament and effect
for the present the hopeless defeat of the
great policy OF Irish emancipation 50
eloquently advocated by Mr.. Gladstone.
This is not, however, to be accepted as
final result, but rather as a temporary
postponement Of a great step in the direc
ton of political liberty, which will ulti
matey be fully attained. The appeals to
the natural prejudices of the Saxon against
the Celt and the old time wern argument
that Irish home rule means diSmember
ment of the British Empire, have proved
to be still too strong an influence upon
English public opinion to permit Glad
stones powerful appeals in the name of
human liberty on behalf of the oppressed
people of Ireland.
The happy efforts of home rule in this
country, which is cardinal principle Of
our Federal constitution; and the unity
and strength which this government has
so long maintained, while conceding so
fully the principle of local self govern
meat, ought 70 be sufficient retutation
of the cry of dismemberment with which
the English Premier has been met and re-
pulsed in his great purpose. Ia time, no
doubt, this measure will be effected, be-
cause it is in the line of true human pro-
gress and must, sooner or later be recos-
nized by the more Just and humane of the
present opponents of Gladstone.
Ii is feared by the opponents, and hoped
by some of The friends of the great Libei al
leader, that he may net resign, but endea-
vSr to reconcile his seeding friends a.
mong the Liberals by some cempronis Use
upon the Irish question and thereby con-
tinus to hold office. But the more dis
Greet friends of Gladstone vigorously deny
any such purpose on his part. They aver
that he will make no further concessions
upon the Home Rule policy than those
contained in his bill defeated in Par ia
ment; and point to his intlexible course
in the parliamentary debates upon the
measure and his well known character as
the best guarantee of his future uncom-
promising course upon great measure
which he has so deliberately espoused.

The Baltimore Herald says: while
old John Brown was organizing his mem
orable Harper's Ferry raid he gave out
that he had come to settle in the South
Mountain as a prospector for ores OF the
precious metals. He affirmed his csnvic-
ton that the rocks through which the Pc
tomac had forced its way at the Ferry
contained the raw material Of untold
wealth. After the raid was consummated
his story was regarded as an Idle tale. con-
cocted for the occasion but from time to
time small quantities of auriferous quartz
have been found in the rocks, Just as he
predicted. Now comes the announcement
that near Weysrton, in Washington coan-
ty and Berlin and Knoxville, in Frederick
county, all located on the same group of
rocks, quantities of silver ore have been
discovered on the Virginia side of the Po-
tomac.

Civil-Service Commissioner Oberly, in
his report in criticism of the remarkable
judgment shown by Mr.. I. Parker Veazey,
postmaster of Baltimore, in selecting dem
ocrats from the lists of eligibles, asserts
that if an appointing officer appoints a
certified applicant because the latter is OF
the same party, or if an appointing officer
refuses to appoint an applicant because
the latter is not of the same party as the
former, the appointing officer violates the
civil-service law. Not interesting, if true

1t concludes that the winter wheat Drop is

acreage. Spring wheat has been consid-
erably injured by drought and blight; the
yield will probably be 40 million bushels
against 145 millions last year. The total
wheat crop will probably be 435,000,000

The House of Representatives did pro-
per thing Saturday last in striking from
the general deficiency bill, by decided
majority, vicious amendment, which has
been tackled on it in committee of the
whole, appropriating about 100000 for
the payment of an extra months wages to
the employees OF Congress. There was not
the shadow of an excuse for the amend
ment. The employees of Congress are paid
liberal yearly wages for their services, and
during the two sessions of Congress they
perform on an average about ten months
werk, for which they draw twenty-four
months wages, at rate of pay which in
many instances, their capacity, perhaps,
would not command outside of govern
ment employ. If the action of Saturday
shall serve as precedent for future Con-
crosses, it will 60 on the record as one day,

at the city of Buffalo for the term of ten
years, upon conviction for smbezzling
the funds of the First National Bank at

of which this prisoner was convicted.
am entirely familiar with this case, and
knew the prisoner long time before his
conviction. His sentence was generally
regarded at the time it was pronounced as
a very severe one, being the full extent OF
the law. With the Communication allowed
in the State of New York for good con-
duct in prison, he has served a sentence OF
five years; and it is entirely certain in my
miad that whatever good is ever to be
wrought upon him Individually has al
ready been accomplished. At the time of
his conviction his wife-a noble, courage
Gus and devoted woman-and five small
children were the sad sufferers for his
crime, and exacted the sympathy Of the
entire community. By her patient, hard

never-failing trust and hope in the dark

she at least is entitled to clemency. am
glad to be able to restore to her her hus,

Tho Deadly, IndigestibIo Sailed Almonds.

The Deadly, Indigestible Sailed Almonds.
The universal sailed almond was said to
be the aggravating cause of Mrs. Sher-
idan's nearly fatal illness, she having
eaten them in the thoughtless way that
one is tempted to for whole afternoon;
beginning with lunch and several calls
and ending with a dinner party, and, at
all of them having no appetite for any
thing but the deadly sailed almonds.
These indigestible triiles are consumed in
such quantities and SO recklessly during
the season of entertaining that II is a
wonder that physicians can not trace more
indispositions directly to them. Mrs
Sheridan is now held up as warning to
every one who dips into the little dishes of
almonds, and like everything else that
RACES so violently, the fancy for sailed
almonds will soon die out, and the
Drowned bits be banished from the tea and
dinner table. -"Ruhamah," in Globe Dem
