ped.
Mr.. Warren sighed dcspairingly and re-
turned to the house, leaving the old man
seated with both hands on the head of his
cane, his head sunk down upon his Shout
ders until he seemed to have no neck. He
was thinking in his own way. or was he
dreaming? Do very old, infirm people
think? Or are the operations of their
brains more like the dreams of the
Be that as it may as the old gentleman
sat there the scowl upon his wrinkled face
gradually softened and disappeared, Civ
ing place to quaint smile of amusement
that deepened and broadened until his
rickety frame shook with laughter.
Between the doctor and his father-in-law
Mr.. Warren was painfully disturbed. 1t
did not seem. after the way the doctor had
talked to Dutton, that any dictates of hui
ing that his unwelcome guest should ex-
plain himself. Mr.. Warren walked into the
spare room. therefore, and closed the door
between 1t and the kitchen.

could begin, II think I'll try to get up

sponded Mr. Warren, rather roughly.
Il see you believe what that fool doctor
says"
Hes no fool, Dut. He saw your game

Dutton spoke with evidently sincere ear
nestness, and his face was bathed in pro-

their pardon without recourse to Congress,
although that body was in session at the
time.
The power of general amnesty was not
again exercised by any President up to the
time of the civil war. On the 18th of July,
1862 Congress passed an act authorizing the
President to grant amnesty, under certain
conditions, to persons who had taken up
arms against the government In accord
ance with this act, President Lincoln issued
an amnesty proclamation September s, 1863
and subsequently, in March, 1864 he issued
another similar proclama ton, stating more
specifically the class of persons entitled to
the privileges of the act. Four amnesty
proclamations, each more liberal in its pro-
visions than it's predecessor were issued by
President Johnson, and since then there has
been no occasion for such action

NO, and 'twouldn't be the truth, Nick"
said the old man GROSSLY. Il suppose he's
been hurt, or something's happened to make
him sick, but that's only part of it. What
did he come here for?'

'What does he say about it2"
"He won't say word

with these precautions what more can
be done by the government to prevent i'm
proper marriages." inquired the court Off
Ger. ITO impose upon the office of the
clerk of the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia the task of inquiring into the
legality or propriety of marriage upon
every application for license would be
entirely impracticable.
The Clergy Favored as n Class.
THE law has favored the clergy as
class with the monopoly of marriage cere-
monies, securing to them alone whatever
fees or perquisites may result therefrom."
Mr.. Young went on, and at the same time
it has laid upon them the responsibility
of ascertaining the legal and proper quail
licationS for marriage of the parties who
come to them for their services and. SO far
as it can, it has furnished them with the
methods of doing this.
when the blank from the health officer
is filled up and signed by the parties apply
ing for marriage, the minister has an OPP
portunity to scrutinize and question both the
parties and to satisfy himself far
possible of their fitness for the marriage
ceremony. If upon their statement he
discovers impeachment from age or other
disqualification, all that remains to him
is simply to refuse to marry them. No
MINISTER is compelled by law to marry par
ties when he even suspects falsehood or
deception, which no law can entirely pre-
vent, II are DaSe enough TO resort
to it.
Where the Trouble Lies.
THE license is primarily for the benefit of
the minister, and he should have the re-
sponsibility of the scrutiny" he continued.
IF, as the ministers believe, unlawful mar
riages have been contracted here, it has
been through the carelessness of the clergy
themselves or from causes which no addi-
tional legislation can remedy. The duty of
the clergy is clear and simple. If they can
rot dissuade people from wrongdoing, how
can it be expected of the clerk of the court.
If people are determined to go wrong no.
body can prevent it, and they must take the
consequences. But even in such cases is it
rot better to protect them by the shield of
marriage within certain limits than to let
them rove at will like promiscuous herd
of animals?
Agitation Not Desirable.
''There is one feature of the existing law
which can be improved, that which requires
the officiating minister personally to certify
in the office of the clerk. To improve this
feature a bill was introduced in the last
Congress, but failed to become a law. 1t
will be renewed in the coming Congress.
IF the clergy, instead of going blindly at
work in their own organizations, would APP
point a committee to confer with the judges
and officers of the court, IL is far more likely
that satisfactory results would follow. But
if agitation is to be kept up, the effect will
most likely be to defeat any measure that
may be proposed

enigmatical and paradoxcal. and there is no use trying to reconcile their arguments and proceedings with reason. They have left the democratic party, they say, to reform certain parts of our state machin- cry and to aftiict the country with the free coinage of silver, when if they had not kicked out of the traces they could have aecomplished all they desired right inside the barty ilneg' II Is Veiiy eVfdeht that the populists. independent of their camp followers of republicans and negroes, have large vote, almost as large as the democratic vote rid of it's like following; 1t Is also an incontestable fact that al- most if not fully half the democrats in the state are for free coinage at 16 to l. b Thus it will be seen that the populists (who were at one time democrats. all of whom are now in favor of free coinage), and the free silver contingent of the dean- ocratic party should combine that they would carry the state undoubtedly for the white metal, and thus would have ac- complshod what they never will by the bolt from the democracy and the fusion with the republicans. It would seem, however, that it looks like Providence had taken hand and had driven these people out of the party in order to save the state from such fate. Reason cuts no figure with a populite or they all would come back to their old party for the aid they seek, instead of locking arms with their old enemy, with whom they have nothing in common.

 We publish the resolutions of the pop ulist conference at Birmingham on Tues day last, together with part of the State Herald's report of the meeting. It will be seen thai the republicans and popu- lists are going to work together To snatch this state from the democratic party. We cannot see how anything like sheer ity call be claimed for the views of the popuIists when they talk one way and do another. They declare for free coinage, a1athematize the democrats for believing Tn sound money, accused them of follow ing old John Sherman. and they go to Sberman's party for aid aud comfort. They believe in free trade or 0 tariff for revenue only. the democratic tariff. yet they go to the republican camp, the home of protection, for munitions of war tc destroy the democratic party They hate SepuLIicanism when 1t coincides with de- niocracy, but they cherish 1t when 1t would destroy the only party that has ever done anything for the south.

Booming an Actress.

A press agent of my acquaintance told me once that it was his habit to mako con tracts with managers and actors for whole sale lots of entirely imaginary stories, which he composed during the intolerable heat of the summer months and which were afterward scattered broadcast throughout the country as true histories He made speciality of fairy tales for &C., tresses, whom he was wont to endow with all the virtues, graces and talents calculat- ed to endear them to an art loving com munity liko ours.
 In fact, he informed me that he used to write about their "dainty flats filled with rare engravings and choice bric-a-brac, de- noting the refined tastes of the occupant, !" their early religious training their clothes, their ancestors, their social connections and their numerous offers of marriage chiefly from millionaires-in short about everything except their acting, which he explained was something that the public took very little interest in.-Bachelor of A rta

CONVERTED UP A TREE.
The Rev. Dr. Eddy Preached to an Audi

line Rev. Dr. Eddy Preached to an Audi
 ence of One and Convinced It.
 Tho Rev. Dr. Eddy was at one time Q theological student at the Northwestern university. Accompanied by some of his classmates, he wept to the camp meeting, ] where ie was down Oh tho programme to preach his first sermon. Hero they found young man named Fred Houghton who vas much under conviction ke6ause of his sins. Soon all tho theological students had surrounded the penitcnt and were ex- hortlng him to accept Christ as his Say four. Every influence known to the future diyincs was brought to bear on Houghton, until 1t became evident that it was beeom- ing somewhat wearisome to him, and he went to the woods. Along toward even- ing, like Zaccheus of old, who climbed up Into a sycamore tree, he ascended into a basswood tree whose limbs nearly touched the ground, and there pursued his medita- tions.
 Dr. Eddy was to preach that night and felt nervous and apprehensiye. As the shades of night were approaching he also hied himself to tho woods and rehearsed his sermon beneath the tree in which Houghton was ensconced. Thinking him self alone, and that none but the eye of God was upon him, he walsied up and in eloquent tones exhorted his imaginary hearers to accept tho faith. When he had finished great wns his surprise when Houghton descended from tho tree and said he was willing to como to Christ and declared that Dr. Eddy s sermon had saved him.
 In after years Dr. Eddy declared that had Houghton shouted while he was in the midst of his funeral sermon over Houghton's remains he would not have been more surprised than he was when Houghton came down the tree.-New York Dispatch.
