A Situation Which It Canting Betrothed Couplet Considerable Annoyance. A young man and a young woman came over the line from New Brunswick the other day and were married here, says a Calais correspondent of the Bos ton Herald. They had no difficulty in finding a minister to unite them, al though they very frankly explained that they couldn't have got married in their native place in New Brunswick. The reason for this seeming anomaly lies in the fact that Governor Boyd of New Brunswick is dead, and that every marriage license must be signed by the governor to be legal. It is true that it was Governor Boyd's custom, as by statute he was authorized to do, to sign quantities of these licenses in blank and to distribute them to the various officers throughout the province whose business It is to attend to such things, to be filled in as circumstances required. Now, there is a very fine legal point involved. The question is whether, dur ing the interregnum caused by Governor Boyd's death and until the Dominion government appoints his successor, these1 marriage licenses signed by Governor Boyd are good. Can they be used until a new governor is sent down, or are they useless as not bearing the signature ol the actual governor of the province? This Is what is agitating the minds of the New Brunswick lawyers, and es pecially of the betrothed couples. They may indeed adopt the old fashioned method of calling the banns, but that takes time, and time counts when the wedding day is set and the invitations are out. Perhaps they had best do as the afore mentioned couple did go to Calais, and thus make assurance doubly sure. BIMETALLISM IN ENGLAND. Lord Salisbury's Recent Speech and What It It Thought to Forecast. Lord Salisbury's speech in the upper house during the debate on Indian finance is regarded as a definite pronouncement in favor of international bimetallism. It is possibly destined to have momentous consequences. Sanguine bimetallists pre dict the early inclusion of their currency scheme as a plank of the orthodox Tory platform, but that is scarcely probable until the numerous Tory monometallists have been converted. The subject acquired considerable prominence in the Accrington election contests, but that is scarcely to be won dered at, because Lancashire has long been the stronghold of bimetallism. Even the Liberal newspapers of that county are compelled, owing to the pres sure of local opinion, to keep an open mind on currency matters, and some of them at present are giving considerable space to the discussion of the silver prob lem. The Liverpool Post, an influential Lib eral organ, gave prominence the other day to a letter advocating the adoption by England and her dependencies and the United States of a second, or silver, in ternational standard, without relation to the first, or gold, standard, "all contracts made through gold currency being set tled by gold currency and all contracts made by the international dollar cur rency being settled by the international dollar currency, the latter being the sil yerdollar divisible into 100 cents." SELF PRAISE. Self praise 1b no recommendation, but there are times when one must permit a perjon to tell the truth about himself. When what he says is supported by the testimony of others no reasonable man will doubt his word. Now, to Bay that All cock's Porous Plasters are the only gen uine and reliable porous plasters made is not sell' praise in the slightest degree. They have stood the test for over thirty years.and in proof of their merits it is only necessary to call attention to the cures they have effected and to the voluntary testimonials of those who have used them. Beware of imitations. Ask tor All cock's, and let no solicitation induce you to accept a substitute. Bbandbeth's Pills arrest the progress of decay.

Borne Noticeable Weapons That Are Ex hibited In the Tower of London. Whoever visits the Loudon Tower may enjoy a veritable feast of swords, but amid the numberless array of weap ons there are one or two that are espe cially worthy of notice. There is the sword of state, which is girt on the monarch's side after his anointing at the imposing ceremony of coronation, which girding is more honored in the breach, one would suppose, when the monarch is a lady. The sword is first consecrated by the primate, and by him handed to the lord chamberlain, who completes the function. It is a two hand ed weapon, with rich decorations on hilt and pommel and scabbard. Of scarcely less importance is the "sword of mercy, " borne before the sovereign in the coro nation procession. This sword is named Curtana, but though undoubtedly very ancient it can hardly claim to be the original Curtana forged by the famous Munifican. This original Curtana was the magio weapon of Ogier the Dane, bold knight of Charlemagne's most warlike days. Our own Curtana is in any case many centuries old. It is square pointed, with the look as though the point had been broken short; hence possibly its name. A fine gold wire covers its handle, and the scabbard is remarkably ornate. Two other swords are carried at the corona tion ceremaiiy swords symbolical of spiritnal and. temporal justice, the first with an obtuse point, the latter sharp. Curtana and these two justice swords are not often called upon to make a pnb lio appearance. It is happily more than a half century since they were last re quired at a coronation, but whenever the sovereign opens parliament in per son the sword of state first mentioned is oalled from its repose. The lord mayor's sword is even more familiar to the general public, and not only London, but most other corpora tions, have their sword and sword bear er. It is a picturesque survival of the middle ages, which one would regret to see abolished part of the ritual of state customs, which ritual is by no means meaningless. Publio action must often be of a figurative character. Such is the mode by which the oity of London some times does honor to those who have ren dered the nation good service, presenting to them swords of honor. These civio swords have been given to men like Lord Napier, Lord Clyde, Lord Wolse ley. Wellington received one in his day, and so did the Prussian Blucher. Lon don Standard. Golf. A game with a history of more than 400 years must necessarily have some interesting records. Golf has been great ly liked by kings. In the time of James I it was generally practiced by all classes. The unfortunate Charles I was devoted to golf. While on a visit in Scotland in 1641 as be was deeply en gaged in a game news was brought bim of the breaking out of a rebellion in Ire land, and the royal golfer threw down his club and retired in great agitation to Holyrood House, When he was im prisoned at Newcastle, bis keeper kind ly permitted him to take recreation on the golfing links with his 'train. It is said that Mary, queen of Scots, was seen playing golf in the field beside Seaton a few days after the murder of her bus band. In 1837 a magnificent gold medal was presented to St. Andrew's by Wil liam IV, to be played for annually. One of the earlier kings forbade the impor tation of golf balls from Holland be cause it took away "na small quantitie of gold and silver out of the kingdome of Scotland, " and at one time "golfe and futeball and other unprofitable games" were forbidden in England be oause archery, so necessary in the de fense of the nation, was being neglect ed in their favor. Exchange. The Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaiian Islands have been found to be richer in animal life than was for merly supposed. As the result of a year's investigation by the British association, through its committee, it has been found that of birds there are 78 species, of which 67 are peculiar to this group. All the land and fresh water shells are pe culiar, and of 1,000 species of insects 700 are not found elsewhere. It thus seems that these islands have by no means been populated from the conti nent, but have been centers of independ ent creation. Independent Irlth Trade. The value of Irish exports last year was 11,088,8116 and of Imports 144,604,480. A BRAVE WOMAN. Bow She Rescued Her Hatband From the Vengeance of a Puma. Jabei English, a sheep herder of this neighborhood, was engaged in building a cabin home, his former one having been destroyed by fire a week or two ago, and was busily at work on its roof when he saw an animal steal out of the woods hard by and fling itself upon the pail containing his dinner of cold boiled bacon and bread. He recognized this animal as a puma, or mountain lion, but thinking he might frighten it away threw his plane at it. The tool struck the animal on the head, cutting it badly and rendering the crea ture furious. It rushed at the structure on the peak of which the herder sat and tried to leap up to him. But this was not to be done, and after several at tempts the lion abandoned it and pro ceeded to patrol the spot, growling furi ously and showing its teeth. The man, having no weapon and being out of reach of any one to whom he might call, could only sit still and wait for the puma to become tired of the watch or for deliverance. Night at last came on, and still he did not dare venture to quit his perch, though it was so cold that he feared that he would freeze before mora ing. In the meantime his wife, who was in Santa Anna, a little mountain hamlet of the valley, grew uneasy about him, and with a lantern started to look for him. It was too dark for English to see her, but the lion did, and made for her with a scream of rage. As the great beast came leaping at her out of the darkness she dashed the Ian tern full in its face. The puma, startled, gave way, and English, guessing who the newcomer was, shouted to her to run back to the village. She turned to do so, but the puma was after her, and she was obliged to wheel about every few feet and shake the lantern in its face again. The animal would recoil at this, and each time gave her a few moments to run on. In this way she made her way to Santa Anna, screaming as she neared it, "A lion! a lion!" until some of the men of the village, hearing her, armed them selves and came out in time to see the lion break a way to run back. They pur sued him and killed him and then went on for the half frozen herder. His wife, a bright eyed, chatty little Mexican wonv an, claimed the skin of the pnma, saying that it was rightly hers, as she alone had brought the lion into the village, and it was presented to her for the new home in the valley. Tombstone (A. T.) Special. WASHINGTON'S BIRTHPLACE. The Government Improving and Making Accessible a Historical Spot. A contract has been awarded for the erection of a $10,000 wharf on the Poto mac river, near Wakefield, Westmore land county, Va., General George Wash ington's birthplace, and the steamer Sue will probably make it a landing place, The house in which Washington was born was destroyed by fire during his boyhood, but in 1815 a stone with a suit able inscription was placed on the spot by George Washington Parke Custis. If was while living at Wakefield that Wash ington attended the neighboring schools, where instruction did not go further than reading, writing and spelling, with the addition, which must have been1 somewhat exceptional, of bookkeeping and surveying. In after years, while Washington waf surveying the vast estates of Lord Fai fax, the birthplace was burned, and the family moved on the Rappahannock riv er, near Fredericksburg. The new wharf will be burit by the government as a means of access to the ruins of the burned house, and congress is tp mark the place with a monument. A steamboat land ing will make the historical spot, now somewhat difficult to reach, of easy ac cess for tourists. Baltimore American. Death Among the Dulcet. Including the Duke of Leinster, whose death was recently announced, eleven dukes have passed away within the last three years the Dukes of Buckingham, Cleveland, Devonshire, Leinster, Man chester, Marlborough, Roxburghe, Som erset, Sutherland and two Dukes of Bed ford. Three years ago there were 29 dukes apart from those of the royal blood, an Ait will be seen that more than a third of the number have died. As one result of this mortality the dukedoms have been reduced to 27, the titles of Buckingham and Cleveland having be come extinct. Only 24 dukes can vote, however, as the new Dukes of Leinster, Manchester and Roxburghe are minors. London News. Girls at Pallbearers. Six young ladies, each wearing a white chrysanthemum, created much comment by serving as pallbearers at the funeral. of Mrs. James McGiven, manager of a local shorthand school. The girls study class of St. Leo's Catholic church had charge of the funeral services, and the pallbearers were members of it. On the way to the church the young lady pall bearers walked behind the mourners and continued iu charge of the remains until after the interment. Tacoma Letter in Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

"It's the worst season or dampness I ever saw," said a traveler on a train. "Yes," answered a man of big words, "it's the supersaturation of the atmosphere from fogs and vapors; these came too much moisture and sickness follows." "Maybe t'is, but, as I said, it is the worst season for wet and for such complaints as rheumatism, neuralgia, faceaohe, head acne, toothache and the like." "Well, you've struck a combination I can break," said a third party. "How?" "With St. Jacobs Oil." If it's the worst reason, Bt. Jacobs Oil is the best thing to use for the troubles which it brums.

Buffalo Com mercial. Using Kagllth Colas Wat Weight. Many are the use of money, but Mr. Joseph Newton, late of the Royal mint, point oat there is at leant one nae which la not generally known. This la the availability of coin for letter weighing when the ordinary postal weights do not happen to be at hand. Commencing with the sovereign, this weigh a very safe quarter ounce, for foreign postage, two equaling, of course, a half ounce, and four one ounce. The next denomi nation, the crown piece, is just on the right side of one ounce in weight, and the half crown of half an ounce. Fivo separate shillings, or two shillings and a sixpence, for the ounce and half ounce, will do as well. Descending from gold and silver to hard working bronze, it is found that either three penny pieces, or five half pence, or 10 farthings will respectively make np one ounce. Another peculiarity in regard to the halfpenny is noted by Mr. Newton.
