A WIFE PER ADVERTISEMENT.

An amusing report is published to a suit for nullity of a marriage solemnised at Aldgate Church, London between a French youth named Deleute, aged IG, and a noble Polish lady, the Countess Secrap hine Mrozowicka. Their acquaintance orignated from an advertisement for a husband published by the lady m the Figaro. She described herself, and the description does not seem to have been untrue, as a young widow of 28, good-look ing, speaking several languages, writing with good style, belonging to a rich, powerful, and noble family, but reduced by adverse circumstances to a bare competence. She desired an alliance with a young man of noble, frank, orginal nature. The advertisement did not state that she had three children. It was answered by Deleute, who fell madly in love with her only by correspondence, and compared her to Yenus and Cleopatra. After the marriage at Aldgate, she know ing he had not a penny, he lived for a long while at her expense in a house she possessed at Batignolles, and there they ultimately underwent great privations. During the lifetime of Deleute’s father no attempt was made to set aside the marriage but now his mother pleads nullity. for want of consent. Counsel on both sides and the Judge-Advocate are agreed that the marriage is void, and the only question on which the Court reserves judgment is at whose suit it shall be annulled, on which depend the costs and alimony.

THROWING THE SHOE.

One of the best known customs con nected with shoes is that of throwing them after a wedding party on their way from church or elsewhere. It is says . the authors of Lancashire Folk-lore, a relic of Anglo-Saxon or Danish usage, of ancient origin. The Lancashire custom is to throw an old shoe on leaving the house to be married, as a preventive of future unhap piness, as an omen of good luck and pros perity. In Norfolk at is also the custom to throw the shoe after the wedding party on proceeding to church. In Yorkshire, according to a writer in Hone’s Table Book, in 1827, there was a custom called “ trashing,” which signified pelting people with old shoes on their return from church on the wedding day. “ Trashing ” had at first some ’raison detre, but has time went on this became forgotten, and the custom v r as indiscriminately practised among the lower orders. The Kentish customisfor oneof the groomsman to throw the shoe, after which the bridesmaids run, she who gets it believing that she will be married first. She in turn throws it among the men, the man who receives the blow being also destined for marriage before the others. A custom not very dis similar used to prevail among noble Ger mans in the past. The bride on being conducted to the bride-chamber, used to take of her shoes and throw it among those who were near, everyone striving to catch it, and the successful one accepting it as an omen of his or her early and happy marriage. There is still an old rhyme extant, which gives an early date to this custom of throwing shoes at weddings:— “ When Britons bold Wedded of old, Sandals were backward thrown, The pair to tell, That ill or well, The act was all their own. ”

This custom of late has been very gene rally revived, and is now as popular at fashonable London weddings as among our more superstitious country folk. A writer in an old number of Notes and Queries suggests that it was a symbol of renunciation of dominion and authority over the bride by the father or guardian ; and on receipt Of the shoe by the bride groom, even if accidental, an omen that that authority was transferred to him.

KILLED FOR JOKING.

A sad. story comes from Wursburg. A young student was arrested a few days ' ago for “snapping his fingers” at a military picket. For this offence he was being to the central police station, when in an unlucky moment he , . thought fit to run away. This escapade v proved a much more rash and ill-timed exploit than the other, for the non commissioned officer who was in in charge of the picket fired upon the unlucky fugitive, and brought him to the ground at the first shot. It was found that the ball had gone in at the back and came out at the breast, and the student died of his wound during the night. The excitement caused by this melancholy incident has not yet subsided. The Cologne Gazette mentions that the victim formed part of a Catholic Society, and both he and the author of his death

were Prussians, so that no political ani mosity was mixed up with the affair. The funeral was held with great pomp, all

the professors and students following, and in the evening a torchlight procession was formed by the students in honor of their late comrade. Throughout the day the military were ordered to remain within the barracks to avoid any conflicts. A local paper savs the non-commissioned officer has been declared by the authorities blameless. The Frankfurter Zeitung is surprised at soldiers canying loaded guns in a time of profound tranquillity. The Cologne Gazette quotes the Bavarian law _on the subject, according to which soldiers on duty may use any weapon

with which they are provided in prevent ing the escape of a prisoner. The story recalls a still more dramatic incident of a similar kind, which happened at the beginning of this century in the Streets of London. A gentleman of high position passing .along a much frequented thoroughfare either was, or supposed him self to be, obstructed and insulted by a young private soldier standing on guard outside one' of the public offices. He assaulted the latter, knocking him down, and then walked away. The soldier, how ever, taunted by the laughter of the crowd, reflected for a moment, and then, running after his assailant, thrust him through and through from behind with his fixed bayo net, The gentleman died, and the sol dier was arrested with a view of being brought up on a charge of murder. But the man was acquitted upon the principle —which is in theory essentially a good one—that it is legitimate for a soldier on duty to repel any hostile attack by a free use of the best weapon in his hands.

A Marseilles almanac predicts for 1879 death of Bismarck, Gortschakoff, and Beacomsfield.
