If it m proper, tbe Herald would suggest that it be put at interest until the next presidential campaign and then use it in the place of assessing the poor clerks in Washington. Tib people of Dakota, as soon as Gen. Ilarritton was inaugurated, asked him to remove thiir governor without delay and now conies Arizona with a complaint against their governor. Gov. Church has long been a source of great annoy ance to the people of Dakota, their troubles being a matter of widespread knowledge. Relief will no w doubtless be furnished soon. President IIarhisox's omission to pledge himself in his inaugural to accept otTlce for but a single term appears to have pained a few of our Democratic co temporaries. The omision, however, was sensible. It is an unwise thing to deprive the people of the liberty of re-electing a good President. A bad President will get but one term, pledge or no pledge Cleveland's case is a vivid illusrution of the trurh of this proposition. The failure of the congress just ended to pass the Oklahoma bill defers its en actment just one year, it should have been made a law so the land could have been settled this summer by the hundreds of people that have been waiting patiently so long for the cherished opportunity, although some of its provisions go into effect in the Indian appropriation bill The rest of the measure, however, will Lave to wait till the first session of the fifty-first congress. Inquiry will be often made as to how many words occurred in the inaugural addresses of certain presidents, and how often the big personal pronoun 1 was employed. This information is' here given, the record beginning with the first president Washington and in cluding the twrnty-third Benjamin Harmon. Every president except Fill more made an address on assuming of fice. The first figure column gives the number of words used and the second the number ot I's: Waul.

Within, we find everything cheerful as usual, with enough gastronomic dainti ness to whet our appetite to a proper edge for the coming meaL We notice that it opens with a poetical twelve-line sermon, by Joseph Whitton, on Content A "Sweet Maid" indeed, and one we should all like to nestle in our bosom, if Mr. W. would kindly tell us how to go about it; it may be an easy enough task for poets who are always reminding us that "Man wants but little here below" and, who, as a rule, succeed in getting it. But all men, unfortunately are not poets and if they don't get from tha world more than "a little" will giye the world more than a growling. There is a great deal, however, underlying the precepts of Table Talk to make a man cen'ented for which we thank it. Mrs. Rorer is a practical woman and an experienced teicherin her art, and if the world generally, would read her sparkling magazine, follow her advice and practice her reciies, it would probably have less dyspesia and consequently a great deal more content than it is now uleswrl with.

America's triumphs are those of peace. Her symbols of victory are the spade and plowshare. She has dclycd the virgin soil of her vast prairies; she has released the hidden treasures of her countless mines; she has utilized the flow of her noble rivers; she has laid her boundless forests under contribution; she fostered and promoted by wise legislation every one of the myriad industries congenial to her diversified tepography an! climate. She lias chained the subtle forces of na ture to the car of her peaceful progress. She has girded a continent with iron roads. She has brought men 3,000 miles apart within hail of one another; and now 4,500 miles of canal, 150,000 miles of railroad, 700,000 miles of tela graph, .000,000,000 wrth of yearly trade, and a capitalized national wealth of 10,000,000,000 proclaim the practica success of a century's government o Americans by and for the Americana. 1 have traveled the length aid breadth e Americi.

It is quite remarkable how much originality of character, or nature, is I'AK l: dogs, when wo lane into ac count that they have for more than 3,00'J years been domesticated, and the companions of man. Thesamo curious fact i j observable in the case of the Es quimau dogs, which have been trained and used as draught animals for so manv Generations. In his journal Dr. Sutherland tells how the instinct for the chase interfered with the dogs raveling over the ice. Tli' ie were several cracks in the Hoes, in which a few dovekdes were swiniiiiing about. The cracks were crosiH-d very easily ; but the dogs were eager to go after the birds, and were not re-strained without great dilucultv. Vc used a sort of drag made of rope, which we threw on one of the I'uiiiu i's of the sledgo at its fore part. wheru the friction on the snow could be increased so much, by ono leaning witli jiII Ins weight uixii it, that the s!.?di- could be brought to a stand in :i siioi-l time, in spite of all Iho efforts of the dogs going at a pralloping pace. All control over the Esquimau dogs r lost in a sledge tho moment they see an object of pursuit. Mr. Petersen, tbe u::live driver, says ho rarely suc ceeds in bringing them to a stand with the whip alone, if once they see a biack object on tho ice, wheu they are in lngli-spirits. The young dogs, which had been ji-cuiaomed to see hardly anything ex traneous upon the ico around the ships ;: clM.-where during the whole winter, bcanic very much excited on seeing a few birds or a seal on tho ice, and could hardly bo kept back by the driver and myself leaning with all our weight upon the sledge; wbtio the drag underneath tho runner was lcav ing a I .road and rougn groove in the hard crust of snow which covered the surf acn of the floe.

A LIVE WOMAN AND A DEAD MAN WEDDED AT THE COFFIN'S SIDE. Tli Fell Destroyer Steps liotvreen Two Lot-era, but In nil Presence Their Ilanda Are Joined Who and What tbe Inter ested Parties Were aud Are. I once interviewed for The Sun a young woman with bright blue eyes and a pink face who had been "married" to a dead man. She stood beside the coffin in which the dead man rested, and placed her right hand in his right hand, as her father stood at tho head of the coffin and read the ceremony and answered for the voiceless lips in the coffin. That young woman is alive today, and lived at last accounts in Elm avenue, Philadelphia. She formerly lived in New York, but after the strange ceremony went to the Quaker City and married a truck driver. It is a long story that led up to the cere mony, and one that required a month's work, day and night, to thoroughly 6ift and demonstrate its truthfulness. A SINGULAR CEREMONY. A little over a dozen years ago, a scion of tho Polish aristocracy, with eminent connections m Pans, came to Isew xork to live. He was fairly wealthy at the time, and later on was joined by his mother, a widow. They lived in a num ber of New York boarding houses ,and at last put up permanently in ono jn Wash ington square. The young man there met the blue eyed young woman and fell passionately In love with her. She was the daughter of the landlady of the house. The money of the mother and son be- enn to crive out, and they were joined b' I an aunt from Paris, whose bo1 wealt was in valuable paintings. The young man was stricken down with quick con sumption. As his dying day approached the father and mother of tho young girl suggested that the young people bo mar ried. Tho mother and aunt pf the young man acquiesced, but before the ceremony could be performed he died. His relatives could not speak English. They were devout members of the Cath olic church, and were told by the father and mother of the young woman that the laws of the church in this country permitted ft maniage between a dead man and their living daughter. The dead man's relatives at first demurred, and then acquiesced. A friend of all the parties who was present at the cere mony said that tbe body was in full evening dress, and was leaned up, against the wall of the parlor, where its picture was taken before it was put into the coffin for tho ceremony. "There is the spot." tho witness said to me, as she pointed to a corner in the parlor, "and don't I remember distinctly how fright ened my little daughter was when she entered tho parlor and saw the dead nian 6tandinjr in the corner before the photographer came. When the time for tho ceremony arrived a score of people were clustered in the room, and the bride, standing beside the coffin, took her dead lover's hand jn Lea. er father, at the head of the coffin, first addressed the corpse, 'Max, wilt thou have Fanny to be tby wedded wife? etc., after the man ner of the ritual, and, bending down into the coffin, he uttorpfj a, senulchral 'Yes,' tor tue corpse. Turning to Fanny, the father said: 'Wilt thou have Max for thy wedded husband?1 etc., and Fanny, between her sobs, said 'Yes.' A ring that had been bought for the occasion was then slipped on tho wedding finger of tho young wo man. All the company then had cakes and wino and a wedding jollification.'' NOW A TRUCK DRIVER'S WIFE. The body of that young man now rests in a 6ealed coffin in old St. Patrick's cathedral in Mulberry 6treet. The mother of the boy is dead. The aunt was the Countess Marie do Pruschoff. Even in the little room in Eldridge street, where she told me of this strange ceremony, she looked a veritable grand dame of France. She was 60 years old, and her 6ilver hair combed over her fore head and her dignified mien were truly aristocratic. 'She was in a little room 13 by 12, and was making shirts for a livelihood. She managed to eke out 3 a week. She had been accustomed to all the luxuries of life. She spoke of the dead boy as "my crown, my pride and my joy." The mother of the boy was the Coun tess Betkowska. Max as a boy went to school with the Dominicans in' Paris and at the Lycee Bonaparte while waiting to be admitted to the Oratoriens, a learned religious order. Tho parents of the girl were Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Emmertz. They frankly ad mitted tho marriage, and so did the girL 1 loved Max very much, 6he said to me, "ana we were Detrotnea. a, mar riage ceremony was said between us as ho lay in his coffin. I was known as Mme. de Betkowska for a long timo after Max's death. . I took his name after the ceremony, and I want to say this: That in the event of tho death of his mother and aunt I should consider myself en titled to any property that should fall to Max'a widow." At the time ebe 6aid this she was the wife of the Philadelphia truckman. All tho parties interested have photo graph.! of tho body in evening dress as it 6tood in the corner before the ceremony. Tho ceremony took place on Oct. 12, 187S. at 53 South Washington square. The principals all seemed to accept the ceremony as binding. The Countess Prusclicf? owned the famous Murillo, The Flagellation of Christ," on exhibi tion several years ago at tho Metropolitan museum. There is a contest for its owncrsliip among several lawyers grow ing out of this strange ceremony. Re porter in New York Sun. Atrlcan Railways.
