Sheridan Twice Married.


Gretna Green, of which we have been
hearing again in the courts, keeps its jubilee
this year as the Gretna Green at which the
village blacksmith may no longer unite
fleeing lovers in the bonds Of matrimony.
1t was in 1857 that the Gretna Green mar
riages were made illegal. A glance at its
registers may yet inspire the novelist of
the future. One entry will be sure to puz-
zle. Twice within a few days occurs the
record of the marriage of Richard Brinsley
Sheridan to Miss Grant.
There was only one R. B. S., only one
bride for the same gentleman. The double
entries are not the result of any blunder
on the part of the Rev. Mr.. Vulcan. The
parties were really twice married at Gretna
Green. Arriving a Sunday they were
duly welded, and sped away to Edin-
burgh. There. however, Sheridan CHANGED
to glance at newspaper in which ap-
peared the lucubrations of a lawyer. In
these plainly stated was the fact that no
contract executed on a Sunday is binding.
Clearly, then, the wedding was not legal.
Back to Gretna Green they scurried, to be
remarked on a week day, and leave the
dual record to perplex later generations of
sympathetic searchers Of the records.

More About Deutzias.

One of the hardest deutzias is the species
parvi1ora, a native of northern China. A
native of China and Japan is deutzia sea-
bra. usually sold in nurseries as deutzia ere
nata 1t varies in height from six to ten
feet, according to conditions. with stout,
yellowish branches. The upright spiked
white clusters come into bloom in June, and
last until July. There are good many
forms of this deutzia in cultivation, diff
fering in semi-double, double and purple
or rose-tinted blossoms.
Deutza watereri has a large, double rose
tinted flower which is very snowy. Deutzia
discolor, native of China, is a graceful
shrub, growing three to four feet tall, with
white flowers tinged with pink on the outer
side of the petals. 1t needs protection from
the cold in New England winters. Deutzia
Kalmaefora is a beautiful shrub with
large white distinct blossoms, slightly tint
ed with rose, but should be we'll protected
in winter.
A large number of forms and hybrids have
lately been sent out by French originators
in which the parentage of deutZia gracllis
on one side has been largely used, and
which are conspicuous for rose tints, large
bell-shaped blossoms and more conspicuous
clusters.

$50. Why did God lead the Israelites by
such a circuitous route from Egypt to
Canaan, when in very short time they
might have gone directly?
Answer. He intended that they should en-
camp at Mount Sinai for instruction (Ex.,
Hi:12). That was far to the southeast from
a direct line to Canaan. There went out of
Egypt mixed multitude (Ex., xii 3S), unfit
for national life. 1t was that element that
caused trouble during the Journey (Numb.,
KID. 1t was necessary to eliminate this
mass of low-grade humanity, and this was
done in the .wanderings of forty years in
the wilderness Numb, xiv:33). Had Israel
gone Immediately across by a short cut to
the promised land they would have been
unprepared to subdue the people, to set
up government or to serve the Lord, and
the whole purpose of the migration would
have been defeated.
