short time ago II was said that he In.
tended planting colonies Of his people

said to be opposed To the scheme. Now
II Is reported that lac intends forming a

This scheme receives the approval OF

with that 0f Lord Shnftcsbury In 1870.

A STRANGE sect has come to public
notice in Madrid. The most extraordi.
nary practice encouraged by this sect i.
their mode of contracting marriages
ANY woman is entitled to rise in meet
ing and cry out: Il wish TO marry" SC
and so, naming the man. The man
upon whom her choice has fallen Is
doomed to become a husband. 1t is
useless for him to protest prior engage
ments. The pontiff marries the couple
then and there. Over three hundred
such marriages have been carried out,
and the popularity of the pontiff among
women desiring matrimonial partners
is unbranded.
