Matrimony Suited Him.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 12.-Tbe
Rsv. F. a. Andrews, of Jefersonville,
Ind, is relating to his friends the most
novel instance of his experience as tier
Of matrimonial knots. n Andrews was
called last Sunday to oficiate at the
funeral services of Mrs. j. B. Wascom, oi
Scott County, Ind. After the burial Mr..
Andrews prepared to start on his long
drive back to Jacksonville. The bereav.
ed husband, with m uch show of feeling,
asked him to remain over night, however,
and thinking he might be needed the
good man consented.
After supper, much to his surprise, he
was told that there was about to be q
wedding in the house, and that it was
desired that he should oHiciate. The
newly.made widower had made all prep.
arations for again embarking in matrimo.
ny for the third time, and in few
minutes the knot had been tied. Mrs.
-Wascom No. 3 is blushiDg bride Of 73
summers, while her husband is II years
old. Besides Elder Andrews, the only
person who witnessed the marriage was a
great. grandchild of the groom. All
three of Mr.. Wascom's wives we're sisters.
The second was married only few days
after the death of his first.

Can a Han Buy His Own Wife 2

That is question on which the Mas.
sachusetts supreme court has just divided.
Four of the judges say no, three say yes.
1t is singular case. A husband
maltreated his wife. She left him and
retained counsel to sue for divorce and
alimony. He proposed that if she would
return and live with him as his wife he
would put in the hands of.a third person
his note for five thousand dollars, payable
to her after his death. She consented
and returned. Soon afterwards he died,
but the payment of the note was refused
by his legal representatives. An action
was then brought in her behalf to recover
heamount.
It is we'll known principle that there
must be good consideration to sustain
the validity of q promissory note. 1t
must appear tina. the person who promises
has received something of value to induce
him to promise. In this case the agree.
ment of the wifs to return to her husband
was the consideration which induced him
to make the note of Eve thousand dollars
for her benefit. 1t was agreed on one
side that this was valid consideration in
law and therefore the note was good.
On the other it was contended that it was
not valid consideration and hence the
note was worthless.
The majority of the court take the
latter view. Here are the reasons:
The consideration of the note was the
agreement, or the performance of the
agreement, of the wife to live in marital
relations with her husband. It was not
to perform some service for him which
could be hired, as to keep his house OF
nurse him in sickness, but to give him
the fellowship and communion of a wife.
That is not service which the wife can
sell or the husband buy. Perhaps q
husband can hire his wife to do anything
for him which a servant can be hired to
do, or can buy of her anything that is the
subject of barter; but a servant cannot
be hired to fill the marital relation, and
the fellowship of the wife is not an article
of trade between husband and wife.
The minority judges maintained that
the wife had good ground for divorce
and right to refuse to return to hel
husband, and that therefore her agree.
ment to return was good consideration
for his promise to pay her. But the
opinion of the majority was the judgment
of the court, and the widow did not gel
the FIVE thousand dollars.
A similar bargain to this one has been
held good by the New York court ol
appeals, and it would be held good in
Pennsylvania.-New York Herald.

at his house or chambers once invited
some gentlemen to come up anu have
something to drink. All he could find
was some Apollinaris water, which he
gravely opened, and said: Friends,
Mrs. Thurman will not permit any liquor
in this house, and I must offer you just
what 1 get myself" They drank the
Apolliuaris humbly. When they got
down stairs aud were about to go, the
Judge followed them out into the street.
"The fact is, gentlemen" said he, "that
though Mrs. Thurman does run that
house, she does not, thank God, control
the whole town. I want some whisky to
wash the taste of that Apollinaris water
out of my mouth"

Rocky Mon Mountain L:oi.cIatst;ss. 'L:i.Itit;s

sr.PAus, MINI, Julie i5.-Profsssor
Otto Eugger, the entomologist of the
State university, has been up in the Otter
tall locust region, and has brought back
interesting reports of his observations
there. 1t appears that tie condition of
things up there ID very much worse than
is generally supposed. The region intes.
ted by the locusts consists Of rome~100
square miles, and Professor Lugger states
that he found the locusts averaging
twelve to the square inch. They are the
genuine Rocky Mountain locusts that
have done 30 much damage in these
northwestern regions in the past. Their
actions are not, however, after the ordi-
nary pattern of the conduct of these
insects, and so afford chance for much
interesting study. They have made this
region their feeding ground for four years.
In each year they have done much dam.
age, but never 80 much as they are doing
now, for the reason that they are swarm.
ing in so much greater numbers,
The Inhabitants fear that If the report
got out that the grasshoppers we're doing
injury to the whole region. The profes.
sor thinks this course has resulted to
their detriment. Ifsome vigorous action
had been taken at the stsrt, the locusts
might have been eaterminated. Now it
will be great fight.
A great deal Of damage has already
been done and good deal more must be
done in the future. Twelve insects to
the square inch means enough to destroy
about all the vegetation that can grow in
one season. In fact, there are parts of
the country where every trace of vegeta.
tion has been eaten to the ground. This
entails much suffering already. and gives
promise of so much more that the far
mers in many instances are moving out
of the country.
Prof. 1ugger came back for help.
Governor McGill gave him four car loads
of materials, and thus equipped the pro-
fessor has gone back to fight the enemy.

this which is kept filled with petroleum.
This is allowed to run down gradually
over the canvas. The canvas is drawn
along over the fields, and the locusts, fly
ing up against it come in. contact with
the petroleum. saturated canvas. A sin.
gle touch is enough to kill them. This
method of warfare against the insects has
been found to be very effective, but when
such large areas are infested it is, of
course, pretty big undertaking to at.
tempt to exterminate in that way.

Judge Thurman to the Orphans.

COLUMBUS, O., June 14.-The annual
picnic ofthe st. Vincent Orphans Home
of this city was given in Franklin Park
this afternoon. The fact that Judge
Allen G. Thurman was to make an
address to the little ones called out an
unusually large attendance. There were
500 children and as many adults present.
Judge Thurman, who was introduced by
Bishop Watterson, spoke as follows:
sand the greatest of these is charity.
How profoundly truthful is this text
from Holy Writ. Other virtues are
worthy of veneration and emulation, but
none of them is the peer of charity,
whose broad mantle covers the whole
world and shields, comforts and uplifts
the lowly and suffering everywhere No
land is 80 prosperous that her hands do
not find work to do; none 80 sterile or 30
squalid that her acts do not gladden. and
make beautiful the waste places. 1t is
not my Office to instruct you as to the
beauties of charity or the great achieve
ments in her name in behalf of the young
and helpless. Before us is the living
lesson and the realization in the happy
and healthful little ones who enjoy the
benefit of one of the noble charitable
institutions of our city.
Never has q greater privilege been
accorded me in my life, Right Reverend
Bishop and associates, than to speak to
the little ones here gathered together to
make merry under the blue sky and in
these shaded vistas. did not know uue
til a short while ago that l was to be
called on to address you, but it comes to
me none the less as compliment that /

speech; indeed a prepared speech on
such occasion would be out of p' e.
What few words I shall say come from
the dictates of my heart. Charity needs
no eulogist, needs no trumpeter of her
good deeds, but lives in human hearts
and shines in the good works that remove
the thorns from the road of life. We
all realize the importance of the mission
which has been taken in hand for these
dear little ones-a mission that began
with him who laid down our whole duty
in the sermon on the mount, and which
will only end when He reappears to
welcome his beloved in the land of per.
petual joy"
Judge Thurman then dwelt at some
length upon the history and progress of
the institution, and after paying a fitting
tribute to the Bishop and faculty for their
noble work, thanked them for the pleas.

Taxation.

Bishop Howe, in the course of his
sermon in Trinity Church, laet Sunday,
remarked that Very good test Of the
sincerity Of a mans religion was the way
in which be returns his property for taxes.
He pointed out that Ananias and Sap
phira we're struck dead because they told
falsehood when asked what they had
sold their land for. There Ia very much
food for thought in these remarks. Tie
crying evil of tho Cay everywhere is the
differentiation of property for taxation.
John Stuart Mill, after showing that
theoretically an income tax is the most
just way of raising money for public pur.
poses, frankly acknowledges that the
insurperable obstacle in the way of the
adoption of this system in the present
state of civilization is that men will not
tell the truth. The advocates of single
tax on land have, iii addition to the ar.
gument that land is the soarGe of all
wealth, the other plea that it is visible
property and cannot evade its burdens as
other property does.
It is a very humiliatiDg idea that the
want of truthfulness on the subject is an
acknowledged fact and must be taken fully
into account in all governmental schemes.
The tax laws in South Carolina should
be revised, SO as iearly as possible to
equalize burdens. The lands of. the.Stat
should be arranged in several classes, and
committee of State assessors should 60
among the counties and make the first
classification. Personal property in
houses and cattle should also be graded
more uniformly throughout the State.
The Legislature should compel all tax.
payers to obey the Law, either by com.
pelling them to return their property at
full value, OF by adopting law that all
property should be listed for taxation at
q fixed proportion of its value, say two.
thirds. 1t is utterly unjust to allow one
individual in one county to shift part of
the burden on Another, as Is noW done.
The Constitution hight be amended also
go as to admit of specific taxes.
If the newspapers and politicians that
are so roundly attacking the Legislature
for making heavy tax levy would see
that property is fairly returned, there
would be less outcry against high rates.
After all, the rate makes no difference.
Again, it must be remembered that in
most of the counties from which this
outcry of taxation comes, special county
and township railroad debts have largely
increased the burdens of the people; and
for these the State is not responsible, ror
can they be considered part of the State
taxation, The railroads are investments,
and are supposed to return an actual
money value.
The next Legislature should grapple
with this problem in earnest and endeavor
to solve it. In the meantime, Bishop
Howe's remarks are worthy of careful
consideration.-Colum6ia Register, June

The Peanut sna Tie jPiIg.

The Atlanta Constitution has always
been foremost in its advocacy of the Sos.
pei of diversified agricu!thrs. Eight
years ago it printed the record of one
Thousand farmers, who were selected as
the most prosperous farmers in their
respective counties. Without a single
exception, each Of these farmers raised
his own supplies on his farm, and instead
of pursuing the all cotton plan, was a
corn and meat rain
The change in the system of farming
in Georgia in the past few years is
remarkable. The grain crop has
doubled, and auadrupled, but the cotton
crop has held its own. An that has
been gained in orchard, garden, field or
pasture has been gained without the loss
of a single pound of cotton. Commits.
missioner Henderson, in yesterdays
Constitution, tells of a coming element in
Georgia's agricultural system-the Span
ish peanut. In many localities the cul-
tivation of this plant has increased 800
per cent, and the increase over the State
has been remarkable. The peanut leads
to the pig, and Judge Henderson predicts
that in three years Georgia will raise
more meat than she can consume. With
one acre of peanuts he claims that four
times more hogs can be raised and fat.
tened than with one acre of corn, and
that the peanut will grow on land too
poor to grow anything else, or can be
planted in the corn field without the
slightest detriment to the corn crop.
Anything that diversifes our agriculture
or gives the farmer supplemental crop
is valuable. So we lift our hat to the
Spanish peanus and Georgia hog, and
wish them the top of the morning.

Methodist Nuns.

Methodist nuns are to be novelty in
feminine experience. They were created
by the Methodist General Conference,
after careful consideration of the sub.
ject by the committee on missions. The
committee reported fayorably, and the
Conference inserted in the discipline Of
the Church q section regulating them.
They are to be called deaconesses, and
they will be very similar to the nuns of
the Roman Catholic Church, except
that they are not to take vows of life
service or Of celibacy. Every annual
Conference in which these deaconesses
are established will have a board of nine
members to control this kind of work.
Nothing more definite than that was
done by the Conference, but the impres.
sion is that the Methodist nuns will wear
distinctive costumes, and live in houses
by themselves. They will minister to
the poor and the sick, care for orphans,
and do other work of charity. They will
be required to serve probation of con-
/ tinual service Of two years before being
made deaconessss, and they will have
ITO be at least 25 years of age. 1t has
long been desire of the Rev. DR.. Dix,
of Trinity, to have such duties performed

ceeded several years ago in forming an
organization Of Episcopalian nuns, but
they haveInot been formally endorsed by
the denomination, and SO the Methodist
are the first Protestant Church in Amer.
lea to attempt the recruiting and uni.
forming ofreligious sisters. The first of
the deaconesses will be very likely to be
seen in Chicago.
"And what costumes will the deacon.
esses wear7" was asked of nearly every
member Of the committee responsible for
the creation.
No definite answer could be obtained.
Naturally sober garb will be chosen.
