Christmas, in the first volume of his "Shores and Islands of the Mediterranean," published in 1871, relates the following story, which is both amusing and charac­teristic, as to the then existing state of cler­cial influences and practices exercised in domestic affairs in the Spanish island of Majorca. A young couple presents themselves to be married. The parish priest objected to perform the ceremony, as the parties stood within the prohibited degrees of consanguinity, whom he demonstrated thus. Their parents are godmother to the same child; this in the eyes of the church, made them sisters from that same forth, and their mutual property first consists. The lover repenated the logic with the quod erat monstro of us, and appealed to the bishop. The prelate said there was no remedy but a dispensation from Rome. "We cannot what so long, cringle the disquiet pain." There is no occasion, and the bishop, "we have them ready," and he opened a draughtful, as promptly as Sigbok postmortis his scales. "Pay twenty dollars and the business is done." They could easily have paid the national debt of England, and were about to house or impair. The mother of the girl, a strong-minded woman, endeavored to shake the bishop, but no was inexorable. "Take the key of the house, and take my daughter, she said to the exponant but, dissociated so in law," his forsaking knows that the twenty dollars had nothing to do with the merits of the case. Since you are unable to pay for the blessings of the Church, you must make the best shift you can without it. "No, no!" exclaimed the worthy bishop a little alarmed at the turn matters were taking. "we must have no scandal here." I will give you the dispensation rather than allow such irregular proceedings." And so the priest acted with the tansomatic not of parchment, situated them backwards, and all parties went on their way regaining. THE NEW TARIFF.

New York, April 1.—A London cable special of March 31st says: There remains a very strong feeling on the subject of dynamite, and the numerous arrests made during the week in England and Ireland have increased the general business. The internal machines seized at Liverpool on Wednesday were of a very formidable character. Each consisted of a well-made tin cylinder, containing two gallons of explosive material, the whole covered with an outer casing of canvas, neatly stitched. The throwing off of the package against the ground would have sufficed to explode it quite as effectively as a fuse, which was also provided. Dorsey, the Irishman in whose possession they were found is not over 20 years of age. Very little information was got from him by the police, but a letter found in his pocket led to an important arrest. The police authorities say this capture frustrated two attempts to blow up Government buildings, one in Liverpool, the other in Manchester. But explosions were to be effected this week and experts assert that the machines are identical in power with the one used at Westminster. The police believe than be of the standard pattern adopted by the dynamite faction, and say they were un doubtedly made in America. The explosives is the simple form of nitro-glycerine, held in sawdust, extremely powerful and excessive dangerous to transport or handle in any way. The explosion of one on the Irish steamboat by which they arrived would have been certain to sink her. These occurrences and the threats to blown up the Postoffice keep the Dublin militia on sentry duty in London, and menace A Rough Community OUDEN (U. T.), March 31. — This city is so full of gamblers and roughs from the North and West that it is dangerous for the citizens to go unarmed upon the streets after dark, the police being powerless to protect the law abiding people or arrest offenders. Peppermint is grown for its essence chiefly in Western New York. Two thirds of the supply comes from Wayne county, which produces 10,000 lbs. yearly from 300 acres. The harvest begins in August, and the first year a crop is the best. The mint is cut with a snake, seythe, or mowing machine, according to the fancy of the cultivator. After cutting it is allowed to wither in the sun for five or six hours, and then raked into "cocks," where it remains a short time before being distilled. It is not every cultivator that is provided with a still; but stills are found distributed about the peppermint region at convenient distances. The apparatus and method differ from tansely employed in Europe, where the fire is applied to the still. In America the still consists of a wooden tub or vat of heavy straws hooped with iron. The withered mint is packed into the vat by treading with the feet, and that it is full, when a cover made steam tight with rubber packing, is fastened down with screw clamps.

Vinegar, seven and one-half cents per gallon. The standard for vinegar shall be taken to be that strength which requires thirty-five grams of in carbonate of potash to neutralize one ounce Irye of vinegar, and all import dates that may by law be imposed on vinegar imported from foreign countries shall be collected according to this standard.

Lemons, in boxes of capacity not exceeding two and one-half cubic feet, thirty cents per box; in one-half boxes, capacity not exceeding one and one-eighth cubic feet, sixteen cents per half box; in bulk, two dollars per thousand.

People often ask us for appropriate descriptions for the graves of their deceased. They tell the virtues of the father or wife or child; and want us to put into comparison shape all that catalogue of excellence Of course we fail in the attempt. The size of a lifetime cannot be chiseled by the stoic utterer on a side of a marble slab. But it not a rare thing to go a few months after the sacred spot and find that the best friends unable to get from the pastor and itaph sufficiently calograte have put them brain and heart to work and compose a rhyme. Now the most unit sphere earth for an experienced mind to exercise the poetic faculty is in epitaphology. Does very well in copy books; but it is not unfair to blot the resting places of the body with unskilled poetic sorrow. It seems us that the owners of cemetery and graveyards should keep in their own hand right to refuse inappropriate epitaphs. Nine tenths of those who think they write respectable poetry are mistaken. Do not say that poesy has passed from earth, but it does seem as if the fountain Hippocrane had been drained off to run saw-milk. It is safe to say that most of home-made poetry of grave yards is an feinse to God and man. One would A Rough Community OUDEN (U. T.), March 31. — This city is so full of gamblers and roughs from the North and West that it is dangerous for the citizens to go unarmed upon the streets after dark, the police being powerless to protect the law abiding people or arrest offenders. One of a late series of affrays occurred at midnight last night on Fourth street, near Franklin, in the business part of the city, in which a man med William Henry was severely cut, the wounds being pronounced fatal. All the parties engaged were drunk and no positive statement of the details can be gleaned. Henry states today that he with others, who had just arrived from San Francisco, was coming up the street when a stranger accosted him and asked him for a quarter, which he refused on the ground of not having any money. The man then cursed him and began stabbing him, the most serious and probably fatal gash being across the abdomen, just above the pelvic bone, about three inches long, penetrating to the bladder, which the dirk entered. The spermatic cord was severed and his bowels protruded from the wound. The Sheriff and police arrested various persons supposed to be connected with the affair, but Henry has been unable to identify his assailant, who is generally supposed to be a rough called "Frisco Jack," who skipped out and has not been seen since the difficulty. Another man named James McEnery, was about the same time knocked down with a rock or sand bag and stunned so badly as not to know who his assailant was. Ladies are Attractive.

April 1.—A Sun Philadelphia special says: In the latest news from the Langtry combination, the central figures are Mrs Langtry and Miss Agnes Langtry, chaperone and sister-in-law to the actress, who was called to this country by the Lily to be her traveling companion after Mrs. Labouchere's departure. Miss Agnes is said to be a sister of Mr. Langtry and has hitherto enjoyed the intimate friendship of his wife. She is little more than a few years her senior, moderately good-looking and very sedate and dignified in her manner. Since joining the company, several months ago, she has been the almost constant associate of Mrs. Langtry and Gehhardt in their walks and drives. The Times has a dispatch from Rochester, N. Y., saying that on March 18th the company were on their way into Canada and stopped at Niagara Falls for one day. With the party was a young man from Toronto who had been introduced to Miss Agnes a few days before and whose attention to her, it is said, were almost as marked as were those of Gehhardt to the actress. The company met at the depot at the appointed time to take their departure, but Miss Agnes and her friend were missing. No explanation could be given of her absence, and when last seen she was on the Canadian side in company with her Toronto admirer, riding from the suspension bridge toward the Clifton House. As they were not on hand when the train was ready to start, the company went without them. Telegrams were sent back to her, but no information was obtained until several days later, when a letter came to the city, simply requesting that Miss Agnes's trunk be AN ACT To authorize the Board of Supervisors of the several counties of this State to appoint Inspectors of Apiaries and provide for their compensation, and defining their duties, and for the further protection of bee culture. The people of the State of California, represented in Senate and Assembly do enact as follows: SECTION 1. The Board of Supervisors of any county, wherein bees are kept, are hereby authorized to appoint one or more persons as Inspectors of Apiaries, to hold office during the pleasure of said Board. SEC. 2. The Board or Supervisors shall fix and determine the compensation of the Inspectors of Apiaries, to be paid out of the funds of the county not otherwise appropriated. SEC. 3. Upon complaint being made to the Inspector, to the effect that, in complaint's opinion, the disease known as "Boll brood" exists in any apiary in that county, it shall be the duty of such Inspector to inspect such apiary as soon as practicable and direct the person in charge thereof to destroy all lives ascertained to be so affected; together with the combs and bees thereon, by burning or burying the same in the ground the following night. SEC. 4. If the owner or person in charge of an apiary, by his own inspection or through any other source, discovers foul brood in any honey in said apiary, it shall be his duty to destroy such honey and contents in the manner provided in section three of this Act. SEC. 5. Any person failing to comply with the provisions of the last section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than five dollars nor more The police believe than to standard pattern adopted by the nation, and say they were unmade in America. The explosive form of nitro glycerine, held in seemingly powerful and excessively transport or handle in any way, of one on the Irish steamer may arrived would have been cerberus. References and the threats to blow office keep the Dublin military duty, in London, and menacing in every direction make the ship. There is no calm, temperation of the subject. Whatever it exists is exaggerated and the condition of thorough terror. Natic depopulation of parts of Ireland was begun by the Gov't yesterday and will be continued next three months.

Telegrams were sent back to her, but no information was obtained until several days later, when a letter came to the city. Simply requesting that Miss Agnes's trunk be sent to her at once to Toronto. This was too much for Mrs Langtry. She positively refused to send the trunk and still retained it. Mrs Langtry is very angry at her sister-in-law's conduct and is shocked that her own decorum did not inspire within her a deeper sense of propriety. Meanwhile it is a serious question how a woman can stay away two whole weeks without her bagage. She sent several telegrams later demanding her things, but they have not received attention. Ben Butler's Ambition. Cincinnati, April 2. The Toulouse's Washington special says: General Butler's what here has given some of his admiring friends a more delimiter idea of his political expectations. They are now quite sure that he has excellent chances for securing the regular Democratic nomination for President next year. During his visit here he made known to his faithful friends that he now feels sure of Massachusetts in the next regular Democratic Convention. He has the first requisite for favorable consideration, known in convention parlance as "having his State at his book," but he also feels sure of more. He is working for and feels confident of the convention support of all New England. He is at work in Rhode Island and very busy among the discordant elements in Maine, and he believes that the forces upon which he relies have a solid foothold in New Hampshire and Connecticut. Outside of New England he has had hopes of the New York delegation. Since he left Congress his personal relations with Filden have been very close and Butler really looks for help from that quarter, in case the old gentleman of Gramercy Park at any time comes to see that he needs longer a possibility. Butler's late visit here revealed to his friends the fact that he is now working most industriously to organize his forces for the next regular Democratic Convention and that he daily believes in ultimate success. With the regular organization of his own state, and very probably of all New England, to indorse him, he hopes, through the general support of the rag tag and bobtail of the land, to induce other delegations to concentrate on him and so present him to the Convention as the oldest leader of all the forms of opposition to a continuance of Republican rule. This may seem altogether impossible to many, but after Ben Butler's appearance by burning or burying the same in the ground the following night. Step 4. If the owner or person in charge of an apiary, by his own inspection or through any other source, discovers foul brood in any love in said apiary, it shall be his duty to destroy such live and contents in the manner provided in section three of this Act. Step 5. Any person failing to comply with the provisions of the last section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than five dollars nor more than twenty-five dollars for the first offense, and by a fine of not more than fifty dollars for each subsequent offense. Step 6. This Act shall take effect from and after its passage. A Santa Cruz Sensation. (Chronological Chronicle) Quite a sensation was created here last week by the announcement of the proposed marriage of a white girl named Sarah Burk to a Chinaman named "Lawie." The girl for over a year has been an employee in the Franklin House, where a few Chinamen took their meals, and it was while serving the pajamas with food that Sarah became acquainted with her lover. The prospective bridegroom is an old resident here and speaks English fluently, in addition to reading and writing, etc. He formerly conducted a laundry business, but of late has been more of a Chinese sport than anything else, but now that he is to be married he has bought interest in a washhouse. Mrs. Harris, the girl's employer, nothing the Chinaman's attentions to the girl; forbade him the house but matters seem to have gone on just the same. Sarah is firm in her resolve not to give up her Mongolian and says that she will marry him; that if she can't get a white man she is going to have a Chinaman. The only reasonable excuse for the girl's action is the charitable claim of her friends that she is weak-minded. No license has yet been procured and it is questionable whether the County Clerk will seem them one. The father of Sarah lives either in Napa or Sonoma county and the facts in the case have been communicated to him. The people here are indignant over the matter and the report on the street is that there will be a tar and feather "racket," providing the marriage comes off. Two Things to Remember. Never prune a tree or at least never remove large branches, after the first warm days of spring, before the foliage is of full size. Large branches, if cut away at perpendicular will be sure to "bleed" more or less during the summer, causing an unsightly breakening of the bark below the wound, and occasionally the decay of the heart wool from the nervous downward, sometimes even causing the premature decapitate and death of the tree. Never forget that an orchard, as surely as a corn-field, consumes the fertility of the soil as it sighs well in copy books, but it is most about the resting places of the dead and poetic sorrow. It seems to owners of cemeteries and graves keep in their own hand the refuse inappropriate epitaphs, as if those who think they can readable poetry are mistaken. We that poesy has passed from the past does seem as if the fountain had been drained off to run away. It is safe to say that most of the poetry of graveyards is an official and man. One would have meant the New Hampshire village he risen in mob to prevent the insurrection was really placed on one of its descriptive of a man who lost the foot of a vicious mare on the brook: man was leading her to drink, and killed him quickr in a wink." I have thought that even conservatives Jersey would have been rebelish's epitaph which, in a village state, reads thus: not smart, she was not fair, with grief for her are swellin'; stands her little chair, of eating watermelon." such deserations be allowed in places. Let not poetizers practice obstone. Our uniform advice to who want acceptable and suggestive is to take a passage of Scripture will never wear out. From generation it will bring down visitors a holy hush, and if before has crumbled the day comes for all the graveyard sleepers, the chiseled on the marble may be that shall ring from the trumpet of Angel.—Dr. Talmage, in Sunday These men say nothing in dangerous Wise men use nothing in dangers but the best and most approved Thus Kidney-Wort is employed in cases of diseased liver, kidnows. It will cost you but a day it, and the result will be most friends the fact that he is now working most industriously to organize his forces for the next regular Democratic Convention and that he daily believes in ultimate success. With the regular organization of his own state, and very probably of all New England, to indorse him, he hopes, through the general support of the ragtag and bohol trail of the land, to induce other delegations to concentrate on him and so present him to the Convention as the ablest leader of all the forms of opposition to a continuance Republican rule. This may seem altogether impossible to many, but after Ben Butler's success in harnessing the aristocratic Democracy of Beacon street to his charitot and compelling them to work tamely in the traces, his success with the "boys" in a National Democratic Convention will not seem very remarkable. A Queen in Disguise. New York, March 31.—A respectable middle-aged woman named Mrs. Rebecca Barnes, who resides on Broadway, near Mechanic street, Camden, N. J., has set up a claim that she has become heiress to the title of "Queen of Guinea." She has lived a secluded life for many years in Camden and never until recently spoke of her royal blood. Efforts have been made by parties trading with Guinea to discover the descendants of the Queen, who was stolen eighty years ago and who, Mrs. Barnes says, was her grandmother. A large amount of valuables have been left in the hands of a firm of coast traders for the heir of the old Queen, should she be discovered. Several persons have been so thoroughly convinced of the truth of her statements that they have written to the State Department and elsewhere to search for information as to the best methods to follow in an effort to secure the estate. In her infancy the mother of Mrs. Barnes was captured by a slaver on the Guinea coast of Africa and sold to a planter in the South. Illustrated advertising cards for sale at The Gazette job office. Two Things to Remember. Never prune a tree or at least never remove large branches, after the first warm days of spring, and before the foliage is of full size. Large branches, if cut away at that period, will be sure to "bleed" more or less during the summer, causing an unsightly blackening of the bark below the wound, and occasionally the decay of the heartwood from the motion downward, sometimes even passing the premature decrepitude and death in the tree. Never forget that an orchard, as surely as a corn field, consumes the fertility of the soil, and that to starve the soil is as sure to prove unprofitable in the one case as in the other. Trees may live on from year to year open what they can draw from an exhausted soil; but it will prove just as fallacious to expect a good crop of corn or other grain under similar circumstances. Five Children Killed in Sport. Chicago, March 26.—A special reports the death of five persons from shooting in alleged sport: At Lawndale, Ill., near Bloomington, yesterday, two children of John Hershey were mortally wounded by one of their brothers. At Ramee, Wisconsin, a son of John May, aged 11, fired a rifle at his brother and sister, aged 8 and 5 years, respectively. The girl was killed and the boy fatally wounded. At La Grosse, Wis., Louis May fired a musket ball into the head of a companion aged 12 years, under the impression the gun was not loaded. Good Advice. Never spend money before you earn it. If you are earning six shillings per day, save three of them at least. Establish yourself in some kind of business and then attend to it. Do not build too many "air castles"—they soon come to naught. And if you have never used Swayne's Ointment, especially prepared for Icing Piles and humors of every name and nature, ask your drug-guard for it, and take no other. Nothing like it. Safe, and sure cure. An attractive, youthful appearance secured by using Parker's Hair Balsam to all who are getting gray.
