| Mr.. George Washington Galndo, of Pbila-
| delphia may be in most respects as common
| place man as are most of those whose fond
parents have named them after the Father of
| His Country, but he has made one startling
| departure from the ordinary ways of mankind.
lie fell desperately in love with the mother Of
| his deceased wife, and determined to marry
| her. She was agreeable but the clergyman to
| whom George w. applied was not, and refused
to perform the ceremony. lie informed the
| would-be bridegroom that such q union was
forbidden by law Subsequent investigation
proved this not to be true. Pennsylvania has
long schedule of prohibited marriages, but the
Legislature never contemplated the possibility
| of man wanting to take his deceased wiie'5
mother to his bed and board, and so did not take
! the trouble to forbid the act. But George w.
| Galindo did not make this investigation, which
| would have saved him railroad fare and other
| travelling expenses. lie and his a1ianced hied
themselves to Washington, where il is generally
supposed that the laws are laxer. and people
can do a great many things they would not
| dare TO do at home. They were duly wed, and
returned rejoicing to the Quaker City. But an
| investigation here reveals that such marriages
arc prohibited by an old Maryland statute,
which Furnishes all concerned with fine of
1000 pounds sterling, current money" Con-
sequently Mr.. and Mrs. Galindo will have to
DO married again at home, and DO careful how
they visit Washington until after the Grand
| Jury meets.
