In Ingland It Was Held That Aot Be lieved Husbands ef Debt Corv tracted by HI Bride Before Their Marriage. "A Ilsngor Iswyer attending court la the sndrnt town of Wlsraaset Lincoln county.' recently went ruiumaglug In the Colonial court record of the place, and In tbe count of bis reading cam across the nfllctul registration of a 'siuiM-k marriage," write L. T. Bmy'li fron Bangor, Me to the Boston Tran script, . "Not knowing what a smock marriage was, the luwyer Jnoked fur ther, and got cj.nilcrii1ile Unlit upon a custom thiit prevailed In F.nnlqnd S century or more ago and also to some eitent In the American colonics. "Smock nuirrlMxea were weddings where th bride pisred dressed In s white sheet or rhetulse. The reason for aurb s garb was the belief that If msn married a woman who was In debt he could be held liable for her Indebtedness If he received with her any of her prierty; and also, that If a woman married a man a ho was In debt, his creditors could nut tuku ber property to satisfy their claims If be bad received nothing from her st mar riage. In Kngliind. say. an antiquari an, there was at least one case where bride waa clothed In purls nsturall bus while the ceremony waa being per formed In the great church at lllnulng bam. The minister at first refused to perform the ceremony, but, finding nothing In the rubric that would ex cuse hi in. be finally married the pair. "To carry out the law fully as the people understood It, the ceremony should slways have been performed aa It waa In the church at lllnnlni;lism."ln tbe case noted 7 but. modesty forbid ding, various expedients mere used to accomplish the end without th un pleasant features. Sometime the bride stood In a closet and put her hand through a hole In the door ; some time she stood behind a clotb screen snd put ber band nut at one side; sgaln, she wound about her a whit sheet furnished by the bridegroom, snd sometimes she stood In ber chemise or smock. Eventually, In Essex county, st least, all Immodesty was svolded by the groom furnishing all tbe clothe worn by the bride, retaining the title to the same In. himself. Tbla he did In the presence of witnesses, that he might be able to prove the fact In case he was sued for any debt ah might have contracted. A marrlnge of tide kind occurred at Bradford In 1773, and tbe following la true copy of the rec ord of the same: " "Bradford. Dec. ye 24, 1773 Tbla may certlfle whomsoever It may con error that James Bnlley of Bradford, who was married to the widow Mary Bacon November 22 last past by me ye subscriber then declared that he took said person without anything of estate snd that Lydls tbe wife of Uazer Bur bank and Mary tbe wife of Thomas Stlckney and Margaret tbe wife of Ca leb Burhank all of Bradford were wit nesses that the clothes she then had on were his providing and bestowed upon her. "WILLIAM BLACH. " 'Minister of ye Gospel.' "It Is noted by the same writer that In all cases of smock marrlnge that have come to his notice the brides bavp been widows. "It Is thought that during the reign of George HI there were many smock mnrrlages In Maine, then a part of the province of Massachusetts Bay, chief ly In the counties uf Lincoln and Tork, or In the territory which Is now ao known. There Is nothing to show that the practice outlived tbe Revolution. In Maine, up tn 1S.12, a husband was II uble for debts of his wire contracted before marriage, and no such subter fuge as the smock marriage could re lieve him." - Hew Pip Reveals Character. A new method of telling a man's charactei is now advanced by William K. Crltchlow, ninety, of Macon, Mo. He said: "You can tell more about a man by th way he lights his pipe thsn you can by the shape of his head. There's l tne teiiow wno sinses a mnicn on in south end of his trousers, holds his hands over the bowl until he gets It going, throws down the match any old place, and tilts bis pip up toward the North Star. That man may burn down hla home and barn, but bell never lick bis wife or children, because bis heart's right. "Crooks and bad men don't often smoke pipes. Tbey wouldn't be crooks If they did, because there's something about an old hickory pipe that Inspires a man to play fair with bis neighbors."

Mr. Daniel O'Cnnnell, grandson of the "Liberator," died a few days ago at bis residence, Darrynane abbey, Wa tervlile, Ireland. In bis elgbly-foartb year. He was a magistrate and dep uty lieutenant for County Kerry, and served the office of high sheriff In I860, A Dublin gentleman has an Interest ing picture of tbe late Mr. O'Connell holding the pistol which but grandfa ther used In a famous duel. The fol lowing description of the encounter Is taken from bis own description : 'In a speech st a Catholic meeting on January 24. 1815, tbe LIberator'-re-ferred to the Orange corporation of Dublin as a beggarly corporation, D'Katerre, a member of the corpora tion and a well-known shot with pis tols, demanded an explanation, wbicb was refused. 'After consulting bis friends, DEs- terre paraded tbe streets for two days with the svowed Intention of horse whipping O'ConnelL Tbe two, howev er, did not meet, snd finally D' Est err sent Sir Edward Stanley with a mes sage demanding an explanation. O'Connell referred Sir Edward to Ma jor MacNamarra, a Protestant gentle man of County Clare, who refused to give any explanation, whereupon Sir Edward Stanley delivered a challenge, which was accepted, and hhlf-past three that afternoon, at Bishop's court. County Klldare. four or five miles from Naaa. on the road to Dublin, was Dxed for the meeting. "They met accordingly and Bred to gether, by algnaL D'Esterre's bullet went w;lde. O'Connell aimed low. In tending to hit D'Esterre In the leg, but actually did so In the groin. The bul let went through, penetrating the blad der, and came out at the back. Inflict ing a mortal wound. D'Esterre lived for two days only. The pistols used by the Liberator" were given him by an English officer. quartered In Dublin, to whom he had done a kindness, snd who, when giving them. said, as a proof of their good ness, that they had already killed ten men. They are a pair of 'Blgby's Par ticulars,' and Mr. O'Connell often shot st a mark with them, snd found them to b very good snd accurate. "D'Esterre's daughter married Lieu tenant lloberts of the British royal navy, who commanded tbe Slrlus, the llrst vessel to go from Cork to Amer ica (Boston) under her own steam, and subsequently the President which was lost with all on board, on tbe way from New York to Liverpool" WHEN ANSWERING classifieds ada, kindly mention Th Democrat, Who Makes t This all Goodyear products,have.
