A Wedding Ring.

During the time of George /. and III. o I
England, the wedding ring, though
placed upon the usual finger at the time
Of marriage, was sometimes worn on the
thumb, in which position it is often seen
on the portraits Of the titled ladies in
those days. 1t is now absolutely nee
essary to use ring at the English mar
riage service. The placing Of tn. ring on
the book is a remnant of the ancient Gus
tom OF blessing the ring by sprinkling
holy water in form OF a cross This is
still done bv the Roman Catholic priest.
The Puritans attempted the abolition OF
the ring. The Quakers don't use a ring
at the service because OF it's heathenish
origin; but many wear them afterward.
The Swiss Protestants do not use a ring

herself. which sentiment was evidently
universal, juding from the way the girls
grabbed and kissed both bride and groom

Polk Place Contest.

An agreed decree was reached
yesterday in the case of Tasker
Polk and other heirs of President
Polk against Mrs. G. w. Fall and
others. The feature of most inter.
est to the general public is in the
fact that the heirs agree to bear an
expense of 81 500 for the removal
of the remains of President and
Mrs. Polk to Mt. Olivet Cemetery,
three miles from the city. For the
present no sale will be made of
Polk Place, and it is understood
that no division will be forced I'M
til after the legislature meets, as
there is an indication that the state
may buy the property for a gov
ernor's mansion and provide for the
remains of the former honored mas
ter and mistress of Polk Place TO
rest where they are. The decree
apportions the property among the
various heirs at law as follows:
Mrs. Naomi Hayes, j. Hayes Lee,
Tasker Polk and James X. Polk,
(the two latter being sons of VIM.
