Marriage by Surprise.
From the London Times.


An extraordinary occurrence has taken place
in one of the principal churches in Madrid. in
the parish of Santa Cruz. A priest had nearly
finished his mass, and was in the act of pro-
nouncing the sacramental words. ..Ite. naissd
est" when young man, aged twenty-one, and
beautiful girl Of twenty suddenly approached
the altar railing with three middle-aged men,
and the young couple cried aloud, I'VE wish to
be husband and wife. Here are our three wit
nesses." Now, it seems that under the canonical
laws still regulating marriages in Spain, Roman
Catholics can thus claim to be considered mar
ried by surprise if they skillful enough to
do so just after the priest has uttered the bene-
diction at the close of mass. Formerly this
stratagem was, as in the present case, resorted
to by young people whose parents opposed their
union. When this occurred in the Church Of
Santa Cruz a scene of confusion ensued. The
priest retired to the sacristy, and sent for the
police, who conducted the offenders ana wit
nesses into the presence of the municipal judge.
He declared the marriage valid. much TO the
delight Of the young couple, and TO the intense
disgust Of the parents Of both sides, Who had
resisted the union.

Massachusetts furnished the poet for the
centennial II it had occurred ten years
earlier, there would have been five men within
her borders any one of whom would have been
selected before any other for this honor. They
were Longfellow, Emerson, Whittier, Holmes
and Lowell. More than this the only poet who
has rivalled them in the nations history,
Bryant, was Of Massachusetts birth and partial
residence. Ours is pre-eminently the state
that gives birth 70 and attracts American poets.
Whittier and Holmes are both venerable, but
their poetical inspiration lie still conspicuous
as their patriotism is fervid The venerable
Robert c. Winthrop has been moved to
patriotic poetical production, also, when past
the age of eighty.

RELIED ON HIMSELF.
A Colored Man Who Acquired an Art Without
the Assistance of an Instructor.

At the end of a long, dark and narrow
hallway. on the south side of Washington
street, in the most %uninviting quarters, a
Journal reporter found a wood-engraver's
shop. Strange to say the engraver was a
colored man, and quite as odd in appear
ance as any character Dickens gave to
the world. Indeed, as his face broke
through the gloom Of the darkened
room, with a ragged patch covering his left
eye. the cheek beneath glazed and knotted
as though scared with molten metal, the
reporter could not help being reminded of
the man in Bleak House who assisted
George. the trooper, about the shooting
gallery. The left hand of thisc oIored man
also showed. as did his face. marks of the
fire. the flesh of fingers being twisted out
of shape, and in some places ploughed al
most to the bone.
Lying upon the workbench before
him were several pine blocks upon which
he bad carved out letters. evidently for
poster work. u never had any instruction."
said the worker, putting aside the block
upon which he w~asengaged and layingdown
his burin. Il jest picked it up like. My

The reporter asked him rs to his eye, and
was told by the engraver that while an in
fant he fell into an open fireplace and was
badly burned. II came to I~ndianapolis,r
said he, lin January. last. to work at the
Freeman office, In making wood cuts, and
most of the cartoons published in that
paper. until recently, were made
by ME as were the engravings
generally" The work done by this colored
man, who is wholly without education. is
only remarkable when his opportunities
and surroundings are taken into considera-
tion. The surprising thing about il is, not
that he does the work so well. but that he
should be able to do it at all. He does
wood engraving, mechanical and free
land drawing, IndIa-ink work. and
what Is called chalk work. As the
reporter rose to come away the engrayer.
whose name is Henry j. Lewis. handed
over a pencil sketch of the Journal man.
which he had made while the brief inter-
view was in progress. The drawing was
remarkably well done. the pose of the figure
and the facial expression being admirable.
