Some days ago appeared in THE
HERALD an article, in which after
mentioning the parties in a Mexi-
can marriage, the statement was
made that said contract was effect
ed in Brownsville because the
parties had stated that it cost some
where between twenty-five or more
dollars each ceremony, religious
and civil. We wish to make a cor
rection on both. During Office
hours, and accordingto the Mexican
law, rot one cent is charged by the
Judge, for performing said act,
provided it takes place during Office
hours, and IN said court. The same
may be said regarding Catholic
rites; during what are termed
able" hours, there is no charge
whatsoever. Of course, if the par
tics interested, in either case, want
pomp, then it is that they have to
pay for it. By the foregoing may
be seen that there was mistake on
our part and for the sake of putting
things properly we cheerfully make
the above correction. Civil rights
are administered free in Mexico. "

BOOKS FOR GREAT COMMANDER.
Library Napoleon Ordered Comprised
Many Subjects.

In 1903 Napoleon formed the idea OF
having travelling library in order to
make his hours of intellectual reore-
alton independent of the exigencies
of campaign or the delays of a
courier.
The proposed library was to form
about thousand volumes. The books
were to be of small duodecimo size,
printed in good type, and without mar
gins in order to save space. They
were to be bound in morocco, with
flexible covers and limp backs. The
boxes for their conveyance were to
be covered with leather and lined with
green velvet, and were to average
co volumes apiece, in two rows like
the shelves in library. catalogue
was to accompany them, so arranged
that the emperor could readily find
any desired volume. The distribution
of subjects was as follows: Forty
volumes on religion, 40 of epic poetry,
40 of the drama, 60 volumes of other
poetry, go volumes of history and
100 novels. 'In order to complete
the quota" ran the instructions, 1.-The
balance shall be made up of historical
memoirs. James Westfall Thomp
son, in the Atlantic.
