They were a merry party and they had a merry time, and having being=served with refreshments by their host they started off to catch a Tramway car back to the Point. But alas, after waiting an hour they finally boarded one but arrived at Roton too late for the boat much to the disgust of the’whole party. It is needless to say they were forced to take atrain. er‘ LOCAL AND OTHER NEWS. and Mrs. J. A son was born to Mr. Walte1 Peggy yesterday.

Government and Church not in Harmony, which Accounts for sixch License. Italy enjoys at the present moment the distinction of being the only civil- ized country in Europe where it is pos- sible to commit bigamy _without ex-1 posing one’s self to any danger of punishment. Since the constitution of the kingdom in 1870 the authorities have insistedlthat only a. civil mar- riage is legally binding. On the other hand, the Church refuses to recognize this form of matrimonial union as val- id, and requires the faithful to go through the religious service, venting its displeasure on those who seek any 1 The civil sanction to their alliance. Government has repeatedly tried to secure the enactment of a law provid- ing for the punishment of any priest who should have performed the relig- ous marriage service without the lat. ter having been proceeded by a civil ceremony. But the vast body of the people in Italy are Catholic to the core and would not tolerate any measure which had the appearance of en- croaching on the rights of- the Church. The result is that to-day large num- bers of unscrupulous people take ad- vantage of this condition of affairs to have two wives, one in the eyes of the Church and the other in the eyes of the civil authorities. And they can do this without the slightest danger of being called to account or of being punished—New York Tribune.

There is a species of beetle in Aus- tralia which acts the role of ene1getic undertakers who carefully bury car- casses left on the soil. As soon as they smell a field mouse, a mole, or a fish in a state of decomposition, they come by troops to bury it, getting un der the body, holllfiing out the giound with their legs, and, plojecting the 1ubbish, they dig in all directions. Lit. tle by little, the carcass sinks; at the end of twenty-four hours the whole is several inches deep. They then mount it, cast the earth down into the grave so as to fill it and hide the body from eggs in the tombs. where the larvae will afterward find. an abundance of food. —Golden Days. 1 ' get killed.

Judge Roy Bean, ‘of Langtry, Tex., declares that he is the “law 'west of the ' Pecos.” Leslie’s Weekly tells an anec- dote of him when he sat as Coroner and held an inquest on the body of a man who had met a violent death by falling from the great‘railway bridge that spans the Pecos river. ‘An exami- nation Showed that the man had a re- voly er and fouty dollars in cash in his pocket when he was killed. After Swearing in a jury and looking over the effects of the dead man, Judge Bean said; “Gentlemen of the jury. there ain’t no doubt how this man came to his death; that’s all plain; but what I would like to show is why in the name of thunder he carried that gun.

Meeting a Difficulty. Soon after the discovery of Roent- gen’s rays it was noticed in Germany that by their aid the contents of let- ters inclosed in ordinary envelopes could easily be deciphered. Now a shrewd Berlin manufacturer has found a way to frustrate this. He makes and sells, in large quantities, an enve- lope the inside of which is densely covered with meaningless letters printed in every direction. When the Roentgen rays are applied to this,_.the' contents of the letters are irretriev- ably jumbled up with these letters, and no sense can be obtained.
