aro glad to learn that Mr. Storm takes
tho proper view of tho matter and that
ho even goes so far as to express the

MISTAKES.
Thero was a clergyman who mar
ricd a couple, and at tlio breakfast ono
of tho bridesmaids expressed a wish to
sco that mystlo document, a wedding
license, which sho had never beheld In
her lifetime. Tho request occasioned
a fearful discovery. The clergyman
had qutto forgotten to ask for a license
tho bridegroom had loft it to his "best
man" to lirocuro it, and this tho "best
man" had forgotten to do. Of oourso
tho marriage was not a legal marrlago
at all. Tho wedding party broko up
in dismay, and tho ceremony was per-
tormcd again next day. Tho poor
clergyman however, novcr cot ovor
tho effects of his blundor.
I havo known brides, whon tho
grooms havo failed to mako tho proper
responses prompt them immediately
and with iho greatest facility. As
for tho men thoy commit all kinds of
blunders and uungiings. 1 havo known
a man, at that very norvous and try
ing moment, follow tho clergyman
within tho communion rail and pro
paro to tako a placo oppoaito him. 1
havo known a man when tho minister
stretched out his hand to unito thoso
of tho oouplo tako it vigorously in his
own and give it a hoarty shako, somo
times more serious diuicuitics occur.
Somo ladies havo had an almost uncon
querable rcluctanco to uso tho word
"obey;" ono or two, if their own state
ments aro to accepted, havo ingenious
ly constructed tho word "noboy." Tho
word, however, has still to bo formally
admitted into tho language. Thero
was ono girl, who was being married
by a fino old clergyman, who absolute
ly refused to utter tho "obey." Tho
minister suggested that, if she was un
willing to utter tho word aloud sho
should whisper it to him; but tho
young lady refused oven this kind of
compromise. l urther, however, than
tins tho clergyman refusod to accorao
dato her; but when bo was forced to
dismiss them all without prococding
any further, tho recalcitrant young
person consented to "oboy."
The dithculty, homever, is not al-
wavs mado on tho aido of tho ladv.
On ono occasion the bridegroom wish
ed to deliver a littlo oration qualifying
his vow, and describing in what senso
and to what extent ho was using tho
words of tho formula. Ho was of
courso given to understand that noth-
nothing of this kind could bo permit
ted.
When tho bridegroom has returned
thanks, after tlio parson's speech, in
theso days of feminino oratory, thero
is sometimes a tendonoy on tho part of
the brido to mako a littlo epooch of her
own. "1 call you all to witness," said
brido in our hearing, "that I havo
no intention of obeying " "Ah mad

who was nreaeiiL "vou havo not vet to

The following caso was related to
mo by a bishop of tho Church of Eng
land: There was a man who had
officiated as a clergyman in a largo
town for about fifteen yours. At tho
lapso of that timo it was accidentally
discovered that ho was an impostor.
A new bishop came, or tho man went
into a new diocese; anyhow tho re
quest camo that ho would pro
duco his letters of orders. Letters of
orders aro precious documents; if onoo
lost they caunot bo replaced. Tho
pseudo clergyman replied, expressing
his great regret that in tho course of a
removal tho letters had been hope
lessly mislaid, but hoped that tho
length of time in which he served in
tho dioceso would bo a sufficient vouch
er, iho bishop wrote back to say
that he regretted tho loss of tho letters
of orders, and that it would bo quito
sufficient if ho gavo exact dates, which
would enable him to refer to the dio
cesan registry. Tho imposture then
became known. It was a matter of
great anxiety to scttlo what had best
bo dono under such circumstances.
Of courso a number of marriages
had been performed during theso fif
teen voars. not ono of whir-.h was lnrr.il.
Tho first suggestion was that an act
should bo passed making theso mar
riages legal. T hero wero objections to
this course. It was considered that
an immense deal of pain would bo
caused by the publication of the inva
lidity of the marriages, and that pecul
iar hardship would bo dono in tho caso
of children where ono or both parents
had died in tho meantime On a cer
tain day thero was a discussion between
the bishop of tho dioceso and tho
llomo Secretary, tho result of which
was a communication to tho false
clergymen that if hu left England im
mediately, and forever, proceedings
would not bo taken, but 'that other
wire ho would bo prosecuted.
Baby Insurance-
SOME STATISTICS OK THE NOVEL
1IUSINKS3.
Tho fact that babies aro and for
somo timo havo been insured is received
by many pcoplo with incredulity.
1 hey hcsitnto to bclievo that there is
any such system of insuranco. Tho
following, from tho Lancaster Intelli
gencer, will servo to show, however,
mat isaby tusurnuco is a nourishing
feature of tho insuranco system and
that it obtains not only in tho largo
cities, but In tho interior of tho coun
try: A brisk looking youug man was seen
recently stepping out of a ono-story
houso in n poor and crowded quarter of
tho Sovcnth ward.
"What's ui),'' asked a reporter, on
tho hunt for news.
'Only somo baby insuranco business,"
was tho reply.
It may bo a littlo surprising to souiu
residents of Lancaster to know tho ex
tent to whioh baby insuranco Is carried
on in this city. An agent of a promi
nent New York company, tho pioneer
of tho business in this country, in
formed Iho reporter that two compa
nies having offices in this city that in
sure in this manner carry from 1,200,
to 1,500 children, ranging in ago from
1 to 12, on their books.
"Why, 'ho said, "I havo had occa
sion to insure tho wholo houso ho d of
threo generations, from tho grandpa
rents down to tho cradle."
It is not surprising that this should
bo as it is, when ono reflects on tho
very small premium, payable weekly
that is required in order to secure a
goodly amount of insurance. For fivo
cents a week you can insure a child,
aged from ono to six ycais, and if it
dies the first year $14 is paid, and so
on up to tho eleventh vcar when iliu
amount payable is $123. After tho
chilli is six years old you pay ten cents
a weeK, in Which oaso tlio Delictus will
bo double thojo given above.
This svstom is an outgrowth of tho
industrial scheme of insurance that
originated in London forty years ago,
and In which tho chief succiss has
been nttained by tho Priidonllal com
pany of that city. This company paid
out last year over $5,000,000 in bono-
fits, and has over 0,000,000 pooplo on
its books, more than otio third of whom
nro children. It gives employment to
ltf.uuu peomo.
Tho local agenoies for tho oompanios
with tlio baby insurance feature havo
boon in operation ior about threo years.
Lancaster, with its many comfortablo
homes nnd thrifty people, offers not
tun samo held oi operation as indus
trial cities like Scranton, Reading and
Harrisburg. Yol as scon by tho llg
urcs given above, u manages to kco:
ii Willi inu pruccBsiun.
Tho advocator of baby insurance dl
lato upon tho bonnfiolal results of tho
system in providing a fund for tho
burial of a child of parents who find
it noarly impossible to lay up money
ior such a purpose. A doath in tho
family will frequently seriously cm
bariass an industrious workman, nnd
tho baby insurance people claim that
their system is tho only ono that satis
faotorily meets tho difhoulty.
On tho other hand it is asserted that
tliis modo of insurance tends to do
volon tho morccnarv instinot In narents
to tho detriment of affection for their
offspring. That parent must, however,
be, most inhuman who can look with
satisfaction on a dying child becauso
of tho insuranco money that its death
will bring in. It is oven darkly hinted
that fiendish parents may hasten tho
death of littlo ones for this cause.

Oyer The Cataract To Death
I'ATAI, ACCtDHNT ATTENDING THE Ol'KN-
IN(1 OF FREE NIAGARA
Buffalo, July 10, A aad catastro
phe marred tho celebration of the
opening of Freo Niagara last evening.
The victim was Mrs. Annio Molntyro,
of We Hand, Ont., who has been re
siding for Bomo timo past with her
cousin, Mrs. P. J. Murphy, of 515 Uti
ca Street, this city. Sho went to tho
Falls in tho morning with Mrs. Henri
etta Shields, residing at 517 Utica
Street, to spend tho day. Whilo walk
ing about to sco tho sights they reach
ed tho pier of tho Goat Island bridge.
As thoy wero about to step upon it
Mrs. Molutyro ran down a board walk
which leads to tho stono abutment sup
porting tho bridge. Sho called to her
companion to follow, but Mrs. Shields
did not do so. By this timo Mrs. Mo
lntyro was standing on tho edge of the
pier, and, turning, sho called to her
companion, "Oh you coward, don't bo
afraid ; let's look hero." As she said
this sho suddenly lost her balanco and
fell into tho stream below. Her body
was swept out of sight in a moment,
nnd but fow of thoso on the bridge saw
it disappear. Sho was probably car
ried over tho American Falls.
Mrs. Molntyro was about 28 years
of ago, and has been living in this city
for two months. Sho had separated
from her husband, to whom she was
married somo eight or nino years ago.
Sho earned a living by taking in sow
ing. There is a story afloat that sho
jumped over tho cataract with tho idea
of killiug hersolf. The body has
been found.
Eligibility to Office.
Wo have been asked tho question
recently as to who is eligible to a nom
ination for oflico, by tho Democratic
party of this comity.
This question can most easily bo
answered by quoting Rulo III of Chap
ter 3 of tho rules of Nomination. It
is as follows : "No person shall bo
eligible to a nomination by a conven
tion who has opposed tho Democratio
ticket at tho noxt proco ding eleotion."
Whethorthia npplies to ono who
lias opposed tho entire Democratio
ticket, or to ouo who has opposed only
a portion of, wo aro not prepared to
stato. Tho question has never been
brought beforo tho convention, nnd
therefore no precedent has been estab
lishpd. If there is any occasion for
raising this question now, tho proper
placo is in the convention, as that is
tho only tribunal that has tho power to
dotermino tlio moaning of tho rules by
which it is governed.
A Lie Nailed.
A letter from a "Veteran," in tho
last issuo of tho Jlucka County Intel-
uyencer says, among other things:
Almost tlio first act of this D
cralio soldier (General Davis) was to
order tho dischargo of threo wounded
Union soldiers, and put iti tho placo of
ono of them his friend, Lieutenant
voi. Joseph Jiarbierre, of tho Rebel
army, etc.
So far as this relates to tho dischargo
of ' threo wounded Union soldioM."
there is not a word of truth in it.
wneii Ueneral Davis took charga of
me i onsion olhco, there was not a
Union soldier, wounded or othcrowise,
among tho employes. There had been

Knowing mo circumstances aro now

asked to add to tho truth of history
by telling what ho knew about tho
Mormon Bible Tho Colonol readily
consented, but his Mormon friend, ob
serving his readiness to do so, walked
on and beckoned to tho colonol to
como along, evidently objecting to
having tho story told lor publication.
Col. Leffingwoll commenced by say
ing: "Long ago in the past, I havo
forgotten tho year. Mr. SnaldioL' wroto
a drama called 'Tho Book of Mormon,'
in a hotel at vJotineaut' Ashtabula
county, Ohio, where 1 had boon teach

possessing an accurato knowledio
ot tho English language My father
naa been principal ot tho JUeadvi lie

years, a position which i subsequently
filled on my father retiring to a farm.
Mr. Spalding was a lawyor by profession
ana nad taught school, lie had never
been a reverend, ns somo accounts irivo
that prefix to his name. Ho was about
35 years of ago when I first foil in
with him, ho was vory poor and sick
with tho consumption, and toward tho
last nearly lost his voice, so that ho
could not plead at tho bar. Ho said
ho wanted somo monoy and wroto tho
drama, which he handed mo for correc
tion. It was full of biblo expressions,
and as I had road tho Biblo from lid to
lid I know tho proper phrasoology to
uso. I oorrected tho grammar and

was encased three months, and mv
notes and pencil marks may bo found
on every page,
"lie wanted mo to conform tho Biblo
language. Ho nover paid mo a cent
for my labor. It was entitled 'Tho
Book of Mormon,' and ho told mo ho
was going to Pittsburg to sell tho man
uscript. I afterward learned that ho
got hold of Sidney Rigdon. nnd I
knew within six mouths that Spalding
sold it, and that Rigdon got it. Rig
don was a preacher, a scholar, and a
Bmart fellow. I had seen him baptiz
ing converts in Mahoning county.
wnio. oorao years attcrward 1 was on
a lecture tour in Ohio, lecturing on
grammar and tho construction of tho
English language. I went to Kirt
lanil in a buggy accompanied by a
young lawyer, to seo Joo Smith and
tho Mormon leaders. We drove up in
front of a largo tent and Rigdon came
out. I told him that I corrected the
Mormon Biblo when it was Spalding's
manuscript, i assured mm i gavo it
the proper construction nnd what gram
mar it had. Ho smiled and said that
was all right, but requested mo to say
nothing about it. I told Rigdon that
we camo over there to seo him and Joe
Smith. Ho said: 'It is just ou. dinner
time; you can't seo Joo Smith, because
he is marking goods at the store, thoy
uuviujj receivuu lony wagon-ioads
from the lako shore the day before.
Atterward wo were introduced to
tho prophet. Joo Smith had a round
face, and his hair was cut short down
on his forehead. The oolor of his hair
was between a deep brown and a dark
red. Ho sent a young man with us
into tho temple, which was but newlv
finished. Tlio front had a projecting
roof, supported by pillars. Wo enter
ed the portico, whon tho young man,
nnr n-niiln nnwl. -ToVn nff daiii- l.nla I
our guide, said: 'Tako off your hats 1
1 repl-ed: 'Uur hats aro already off,
sir. Wo ve a long way to drive, and
want you to hurry up, sir I'
"We wero then conducted into the
interior of tho temple. A broad aislo
ran through the middlo of tho tempi'.1,
with a cross aislo in tho centre, above
which a curtain hung, dividing tho
tcraplo into two parts, Sidney Rigdon
occupying, wo wero told, the eastorn
iwrtton, which included tho grand altar,
l'bo arrangement seemed to bo thus
mado in consequenco of tho still incom
plete condition ot the temple. By
mounting on ouo another's Bhoulders
wo wero enabled to null ourselves no
through a holo in tho attic, whero we
wero shown soveral mummies includ
ing that of Joseph and othor patriarchs
mentioned in tho liible. After visit
ing tho tcmplo wo wero invited into
the tent, when wo wore provided with
good dinner, and, taking leavo of tho
saints, wo drovo out to Kirtland, well
satisfied with our visit,"
Tho above chat with Col. Lefling
well left tho impression that his state
ment of tho part takon by him in the
correction of Spalding's manuscript is
undeniable; but tho other fact that
said manuscript was tho origin of tho
Mormon Biblo is rather a matter of
inference than supported by direct aud
incontrovertible testimony. Col. Lcff
ingwell, however, asserts that bo far
as ho has compared his recollections of
tho Spalding manuscript with the Mor
mon Biblo they aro identical. That is
his bolief.

Know mat tno Arapahoos had refused
to join tho Choyenncs in their last war,
and that in tho present troublo tho
:rapahoes had remained bv iho dido
of tho whites; that, thus having boon
friendly for ho many years, ho thought
tho Arapahoes' statement should havo
such weight us that the turbulent Chey
ennes presonted, who were nlways
making trouble: that tho Clieyenncs
who talked against irrass leases wero
only a vory small number of tho tribe,
and that a largo majority of tho Choy-
ennes nnd all tho Arapahoes wero
strongly in favor of grass leases, that
money had been promptly paid them
for tho uso of that which would other
wise havo simply rotted or been burn
ed up; that lease-men lind always acted
honorably, kept their promises, and
that he (Powder Face) wanted tho gov
ernment to distinctly understand that,
with tho exception of a fow who had
talked, all tho Indians wished thn rrr.iss
leases to run for tho full term, ten
yours, for which thoy had been made.
Gen. Sheridan is very willing to al
low tho Indians to amuso themselves
talking until such a timo as ho cm
mako a suitable disposition of his
troops, when ho will talk.
"Ex-Eebel'rRepublioans.
In estimating tho merits of "ox-
Rebel Brigadiers.,' about whom our
Republican contcmporics aro prono to
prate, it seems to mako considerable
differenco on which side of tho politi
cial fenco they happen to sit.
Thus "ex-Rebel Brigadier" John S.
Wise, who is tho Republican candi
date for tho Governorship of Virginia,
was "a bravo Confederate soldier," but,
like, "ex-ltebol Brigadier" Mabono, ho
is "in thorough sympathy with tho pro
gressive thought which has ruled in
tho North" a pleasing paraphrasofor
mo iiepuoiican party which rules less at
tho North and considerably less nt tho
South than it did Borno while ago
and hence, according to the Tribune,
"there is a marked differenco between
such ex-Confederates and men liko
Lamar and Fitz Hugh Lee, who con
tinuo to mourn lor tho lost cause.
11ns periodical palaver about the
"lost causo may"bo summarily settled
by saying at onco that thero is no
such mourner over tho "lost causo" as
that samo "ox-Rebol Brigadier Mahono,
wno nas lost tno only causo which
prompted him to join iho Republican
party. Ho has lost tho Federal patron
ago in Virginia. "Ex-Robel Briga
dier' John S. Wise, whoso father.

Tribune's martyr, John Brown, has

and what Falstaff d"scribcd as tho
composition of his ragaod regiment
"corporals, lieutenants, gentlemen of
companies, revolted tapsters, ostlers
trade-fallen, ten timos moro dishonor
able ragged than an old-faced ancient.'
and, as tho Tribune very itistly says,
markedly different from tho men who
noyer have sold themselves for a mess
of politicial pottage
But whilo the Tribune goes out of
its way and goes back on its record to
especially glonty an "ox-Kcucl isriga-
dier" becauso ho receives a Republican
nomination, tho Kopublican Commer
cial Advertiser deplores tho proceed
ings of tho Virginia Republican Con
vention "as of a kind to mako Rcpub

and it justly concludes that so far as
its own party is concerned "Virginia
politics is in a particularly bad way.'

John L- Hill on Pennsylvania Politics
Lons Ilrancli Lettor la tho cinclanattl Knnulrer.
Mr. Hill said : "It is absurd to talk
about Pennsylvania haying 80.000
Republican majority tho samo which
bIio gavo to Blaine. Blaine was tho
favorito son of Pennsylvania, and his
defeat at tho Natioual Convention on
two former occasions had mado him
rather popular with Democrats. Of
course, he got all tho Independent
votos, and tho regular Republicans
voted for him, and then ho had tho
support of all tho mines and manu
iacturcs. Wo havo lost Pennsylvania
in past times on Stato elections. The
fact is that tho Republican majority of
I'oniisyivarua is just about what l'hila
delplua is able to mako it. Thero is a
Republioau maioiitv in Philadelphia.
when harmony exists in that city, of
from 15,000 to 30,000 votes. The

A Serious Firo In Pittston.
Wilkksmarrk, July 21.About holf
past two o'clock this afternoon flames
wero seen Issuing from Foster's crack
er bakery, on Mill street, Pittson.
Tho alarm was immediately sounded,
but beforo tho firemen could reach tho
ground tlio lire hnd spread to ndjoluiiig
buildings nnd was making rapid head
way. Tho local firemen, seeing they
could not master tho flames, telegraph
ed to Suranlon rind Wilkesbarro for as
sistauco nnd in response a firo cngino
from each city was dispatched to tlio
sceno of tho conflagration. Upon
their arrival tho flames had spread to
six adjoining buildings and tho largo
handsome bridge spanning tho Susque
hanna was nfiro on tho cast end. Tho
wind was blowing in n northeasterly
direction and tho business portion of
tho town was in peril. To mako mat
ters woivo tho water supply was en
tirely inadequato and tho firemen bo
came demoralized.
All tho available hands in tho vicin
ity were procured and tho pcoplo pro
ceeded to put out tho lire on tho brldgo
by taking up water from Iho river. I
was slow rt'ork, but the task was final
ly accomplished after two spam had
burned. Throe mon who were on tho
bridge at tho timo were carried down
in tho burning debris when tho spans
gavo way, but wcro not seriously in
lured. 1 lie bridge lire out, all hand
directed their attention to Iho burning
buildings and by their united efforts ti
nally succeeded in extinguishing tho
names.
It is thought that tho loss bv tho fin
will roach nearly $100,000. Tho heav
lest loser is K. J. Ros. owner of the
Pittston Milling Company, whoso four
story mill was completely destroyed
His plant was valued at $55,000. Tlio
insuranco is $25,000. The loss on tho
bridge is $5,000 Tlio four framo
buildings wero valued at $2,000 or
Sii.uuu each and Foster s cracker bak
cry was valuod at $5,000.
Happy Disappointment.
LONDON'S VICES NOT DUPLICATED IN

New York. Jtilv 22 It is likolv
that no less than half a dozen separate
investigations of vico in New York
havo been mado during tho past week
all under tho incitement of tho J'all
Mall Gazette s revelations of doprav-
ny among ijomion aristocrats, nnd in
expectation that sinuliar facts ,n to
tho wrongs of very young girls would
oo developed. Tliero has been a hap
py dwapotntmcnt. At least two
newspapers, whoso editors had mado
up their minds to duplicate, if not ex
ceed, tlio English sensation, wero con
vinced by tho work of tho reporters
mar. mo material lor such a purpose
was not in existence, aovcral chanty
organizations havo also looked into
the subject and arrived at tho samo
conclusion. Tho Rov. Dr. Talinao
happened to havo been previously in
formed.
Taking a hint from a Bermon by his
friend Spnrgeon, and further led on by
a letter irom mat great preacher, giv
ing confidentially an idea of tho extent
ot tho crimes now divulged to tin
world, Talmago resolved to thorough
iy acquaint nimseit with the truth as
to New oik. This was at tho timo
when ho was getting ready to deliver
a scries oi discourses on night scones
in the metropolis. Ho talked with po
hco olheials, with iournnlists, with
agents of societies and with inmates of
reformatory institutions. All assured
him that, whilo juvenile depravity was
sadly common, there was no such thing
in New York as a regular traflio in in
nocence. Ho declares that ho was
glad to conclude that there was no
need for tho contemplated sermons,
However, tho present comparative
guiltlessness ot jnow y.ork in this ro
