WILLIAM H. BARN U.
FREDERICK o. PIERCE, Secretary.

JOHN JAMES INGALLS, hurries to deny that he ever was in such decent company as that which made him the nominee ot the Kansas democrats in 1864. He goes to the pains to recite the names of those ID the convention nominating him, and re- peats the significant phrase of the demo- cratic state platform, indorsing not the Chicago plank, but General McClellan's ringing utterance for a more vigorous prosecution of the war. And yet, with these facts in his mind--part, in fact, of his own history-this indescribable char latan alludes to Mcclellan as an ally of re- bellion.

MR HARRY PARKER, who claimed Hart ford as his residence, became excited, while witnessing play in the Star theatre, New York, Thursday night, and a revolver which he carried in his pocket went off prematurely, doing no material damage, ex- cept to Harry's trousers, which were ruin cd This incident should be a warning against the foolish practice of carrying firearms. There is nothing. to show that the discharge of the revolver in the young mans hip pocket was due to the fact that he, as well as the pistol, was loaded. Had he been entirely sober, the same incident might have occurred by the hammer of his self-cocking weapon catching on the back or arm of the seat Any one who carries loaded weapons in crowded audiences is liable to similar mishaps.

JUDGE ARNOLD of Philadelphia has es- the case of 1S-year-old John Joseph Cullen
 accused of bigamy, which if sustained by higher authorities, will cause a tremendous sensation. In his decision Judge Arnold said: ''It is good marriage if man writes woman in Ireland saying, If you will come to this country l will marry you, and she comes. There is no need of a clergyman or magistrate to sanctify it.
 The marriage is just as valid in a civil court or criminal court" This is remarkable ruling, and we are inclined to doubt it's constitutionality. There are too many loop holes for fraud and deception ill it's construction. The New York law, by which the mere an nouncement of 6 couple, that they are married, makes them man and wife, is bad enough, and was framed in order to legal ize that which should be punished as a crime, but Judge Arnold's ruling to our conception, allows of still further possi- bilities and leaves even a wider channel for crime. We do not mean to say that when a man promises to marry a woman he should not do so; far from it. But the fact of his having made such a promise, does not, or at least should not consl1mmate a marriage. Marriage is something too sacred to be treated so sacriligously. Young Cullen whose case brought out Judge Arnold's remarkable decision, was guilty of a crime, but we would not call it bigamy. His first marriage was performed by the notorious non-commissioned Camden

FATHER JOHN c. DRUMGOOLE's death will be moumed by every one who knew of his good work and contributed their mite to the noble cause. He was the news boys friend, and for over fifteen years had labored increasingly i'll behalf of the thousands of homeless children of New York city. Many in Waterbury have con tributed their small mite annually to aid in the work. Father Drumgoole was a seeker out of helpless misery an untiring apostle of humanity. The massive build ing in Lafayette Place, New York, in which he died, and which was built by his own exertions, is Father Drumgoole's monument. In this building more than 1900 children are now sheltered. A few years ago Father Drumgoole established a labor exchange in order to get places for the boys in the mission, and secured situa- tions for hundreds of boys. A paragraph of letter written by Father Drumgoole to Archbishop Corrigan, three weeks ago, will best illustrate his chara ter. After detail ing at length the work of the mission and Ine property uuueI HIS cOuUiOl, ne says:
 As your Grace knows none of this property is ing my own name, and l have not the slightest personal claim upon it. It has all been lawfully transferred by me to the Mission of the Imnacu- late Virgin, a legally incorporated institution of the state of New York, in your archdiocese and under your control While you leave it in my charge and care nothing will be left undone by me to protect and preserve it intact, that it may always be used for the purpose for which it was founded, the protection of homeless, destitute and friendess children and the salvation of their souls, and that after my death it may continue to save hundreds of thousands of souls.,
