The Last GIadiatorial Combat.

Gladiatorial games were prohibited
by an edict OF the Emperor Constantine
in A. d. 32J. but from some cause,
probably the loudly expressed disap-

allowed TO fall into disuse, and its pen
alties were never visited on its violators.

with a large professional cross.
The populace swarmed over the bar
ricades and tore the monk to pieces,
but the moral effect of the heroic act
was permanent, and in A. D. 404 an
imperial edict abolished gladiatorial
sports in the Coliseum, and shortly
after throughout the Roman empire.

Marriage Made EasY.

A number of ladies and gentlemen
were assembled at dinner to celebrate
a friends wedding. After the banquet,
a young barrister got up to propose a
matrimonial scheme, which was at
once adopted. a president was elected
who was pledged TO eternal secrecy by
a solem oath All unmarried persons
of either sex wrote each on a piece Of
paper his own name and that Of the
person whom he desired to marry.
The papers were handed to the presi-
dent, a man of mature age, married
and grave as became his office 1t was
his duty to acquaint the two parties
who had mutually selected each other.
Result: eleven couples thus had the
opportunity of confessing their feelings
to one another for the first time, and a
month later eight weddings came off.
The others followed in a short time.
