There is far more widespread in
terest in politics among the women
OF England than among their sisters
on this side of the Atlantic. The
s"'art set in London all take an active
part iE affairs. There is Tory wo-
mans club in the English capital
knowh as the Primrose Danes, and a
more serious body, the Women's Lib
eral Federation, makes its influence
felt in constituencies. Then there
are large numbers of women who do
not register under any banner, but
they can be counted upon to forward
such political questions as appeal to
them.

An oath of Office has usually a con-
servative influence. Administrators
hesitate to do what they would freely
do as private citizens. Running for
office, on the contrary, sometimes
seems to make men throw prudence
and honor to the winds One afflicted
with the office-seekiug mania might
sober himself by thinking of what. il
elected, he will promise before God to
be and perform.

There is a red hot competition
between the Douglass preachers and
the township officers in the marrying
business as will be seen by the
following notice from justice of the
peace published in the Tribune:
II am reliably informed that some
of our local clergy are cutting prices
and thereby demoralizing business [
will not reduce prices to perform the
marriage ceremony, but will give time,
if necessary, or will take meat, potatoes
grain-in fact, any kind of produce.
and will agree not to kiss the bride
unless perfectly satisfactory her."
G. j. D.
Since the Tribune published the
above one of the preachers has issued
the following.
NOTICE
THE young people contemplating
marriage may be fooled by the notice
of justice of the peace of this town
but don't believe it. Young man or
young woman you may be laboring
under the misaprehension that you can
get divorce more readily if you get
married by justice of the peace
instead of minister Don't be
deceived, its not so. You must go to a
higher court for divorce He says
he will not kiss the bride without she
prefers it. Well. do not believe there
is minister in this town who would
want to perform the ceremony for any
bride that would permit him to kiss
her. She would better eat meal of
garlic and onions, seasoned with
asafoedita. Now his offer to take
cabbage, onions, etc. for marriage
fees is another bluff, for young
unmarried people do not raise garden
vegetables. but will go him better
and marry all couples for the privilege
of kissing the bride which 1 assure all
young men will be pleasure to the
BRIDE. Augusta Gazette.

But in vain did she scold
About young felix's and old,
Only patient excuses she heard,
Till at last che cried out.
"You would speak, I've no doubt.

at Balaklava has been sung the world
over as written in that matchless verse
of Lord Tennyson. Yet Maj. Keenan's
charge at Charlottesville, with his 300
gallant Pennsylvanians, will go down
upon the brightest pages of history as
an example of unsurpassed bravery
and true heroism, comparing favorably
with Lord Cardigan's charge with his
brave 600 at Balaklava. While the for

their lives to save the army, which
they did save, the latter sacrificed the

Status of the Brisadier.

In January, 1862, when Judah P.
Benjamin was secretary of war of the
confederacy, in reply to an inquiry
from the chairman of the military
committee of congress, he announced
that the construction placed by the
war department on the law was that
brigadier generals were not officers.
generally, independently of any par
ticular command; but, on the con-
trary, under section six of the act of
March 6, 1861, held their offices "only
while the brigades were in service."
According to this ruling, says the
Chicago Chronicle, not few so-called
brigadier generals lost their rank and
title when not in service with a brig
ade. ''In practice" added Mr.. Secre-
tary Benjamin, "the assignment of
brigadier generals has been made by
the president where The body of
troops did not exceed the number
sufficient for a single brigade; as, for
instance, Gen. Withers at Mobile, or
Gen. Lawton at Savannah. A brig
adler general is never appointed with
out ascertalning in advance that there
are sufficient number of regiments
ready to form brigade for the gen.
eral so appointed.'

HEROIC OLD SCOUNDREL.
That Was What They Called the
Major But He Knew How
to Fight.

There wasn't a man at the officers
mess but despised the major" said an
old army captain, relates the New
York Sun. talking to some friends the
other night. 1--WE all felt that he dis
tinctly lowered the social tone of the
regiment. He was sullen and loutish
and slovenly, with the air of man
who had proved false in some crisis
and who had a grudge against fate
for his own misdeeds. He was full
of mean, contemplate ways Besides,
he drank heavily and would lie for
days at time in a drunken stupor.
1--WE would have got rid of him on
charges but for the fact that he could
fight. 1t was in the early days of the
