with the dawn Of this Faster Sun
day, Pope Plus decree on marriage,
emphasizing the sanctity of the re-
1ation, will go into effect IN every
Roman Catholic parish in his country.
Under the decree, radical change
IS made in the present discipline
with regard to mlxedn marriages.
Hereafter such alliances will not be
valid unless contracted before a
priest having jurisdiction over marri-
age in the place where the marriage is
performed. Even when a dispense
ton has been obtained the marriage,
in order to be valid, must be per
formed by priest having such juris-
diction. The limitation of the juris-
diction uf priests in this respect is
one of the chief clauses In the papal
document. In plain words, no priest
can go into another city, town, or
village aud perform a marriage cere-
mony validity unless he has first re-
ceived authorization from the epIs-
copal authorities or their admins
traitors. The only exception to this
is in the case where the circumstances
are such that marriage is necessary
to relieve conscience, " as in the case
of "A person about to die, aud so
legitimize any offspring there may
be. --Atchieson Globe.

Whittier belonged to those natures
who would advance with firmness and
JOY to martyrdom in a good cause, but
are never comfortable in society. and
who impress one with the idea that
they would like to run out of tine door
at any moment. Yet few enjoyed the
society of congenial friends as did the
Quaker poet. No one relished a good
story more or related one with better
grace. His sense Of the ludicrous was
very vivid, and the absurdities of life
and its situations struck him never
more forcibly than when they involved
himself. AS Whittiers nephew and
biographer has asserted, it would be a
mistake to suppose that gentleness was
q necessity of his nature. His was In
reality the result of resolute self con-
troll and the habitual government of a
tempestuous spirit. Indeed, the poet
had his shrewd, assertiye and almost
vindictive side. else he had never been

Stunu the LAWYER.

The famous Beau Hickman of Wash
ington was once a witness ina pending
case and, having testified in the course
of his examination in chief that the
client of the attorney on the other side
was without funds, was being sharply
cross examined by that barrister Hick-
man averred that the client had him
self told him of his pennlless state. The
lawyer insisted that the exact Ian
guage be repeated. Hickman hesitat-
ed. but when pressed under threat of
contempt proceedings he finally said
"Well, sir, if | must answer, he told
me this morning that he had no mon
ey." "Wel, sir, what language did he
use? "Why, l asked him to lend me
half a dollar, and he said he couldn't
for you had robbed him of every cent
of his money and if he didn't get out
of your clutches very soon his children
would starve."
BY the time the laughter had sub
sided and the lawyer had time to col
lect his thoughts the case was decided
against him.

amounted to at least three Times the

assured him that there was no Article

afterward "came to-. DIR Plot tells
of Swiss who was hanged up thirteen
times without effect OH account of
the peculiar condition of his wind

son was hanged at Edinburgh and
recovered while being carried to the
grave. She lived for many years
afterward and was universally known
as "Half Hanged Maggie Dickson.
A housebreaker named Smith, was
hanged at Tyburn in l7U5. A reprieve
came when he had been suspended a
quarter of an hour. lie was cut
down, bled and revived. William
Duell changed in London in 174O, re-
vived and was transported. A man
hanged in Cork in 1868 was taken in
hand by physician who brought him
round in SIX hours, and we are told
the fellow had the nerve to attend a
theatrical performance the same
eveing.
Richard Johnson, hanged at Shrews-
bury, Oct. 3, 1896, .obtained promise
from an undersherif to place him in
the coffin without changing his
clothes. After hanging half an hour
he still showed signs of life, and on
examination it was found he had
wrapped cords about his body con-
nected with hooks at the neck which
prevented the rope from doing its
work. The apparatus was removed
and the man hanged effectually.
