Social Hospitality and Splendor.Owatonna Journal and Herald.

Some of the papers are booming Hon.W. R. Merriam as the next Republicancandidate for governor. The party may-do a great deal worse than nominatehim. Slerriam is a rich, sociable, lib- t

eral-handed man. At present our for-eign relations are amicabie and thereare no abstruse questions of internalpolicy to call for the intellect ofa states-man. Merriam would inaugurate a termof social hospitality and splendor suchas has not yet been seen in the state.

ATAX ON OLD BACHELORS.

Curious Customs of the Ancients•—A Queer Law in Massachu-setts.A Spartan law forbade marriage until

men and women arrived at their fullstrength, and there was an Athenianregulation that men should not marryuntil they were thirty. The Athenians,at the same time, favored married men,giving them the preference when va-cancies occurred in official life. TheRomans did the same, They wouldhelp a married man so far that. ifhehad not reached the age limit assignedfor a position, as many years were dis-pensed with as he had children.

These favors did not altogether sue-ceed as a marriage bait. The youngmen of the empire had at one time, infact, tobe forced as well as bribed intomarriage, the Censors going so far as toinsist on all the bachelors pledgingthemselves on oath to many within a

| given time. Penalties were in additionlaid on celibacy, and these and otherdisabilities on the single men were notremoved until the time of Constantine.

Taxes on bachelors have been imposedby many nations, including our own ;but no more remarkable law on the sub-ject was ever passed than by the localauthorities of Eastham, in Massachu-setts, in 1695. In that year these func-tionaries passed a law to the effect thatevery unmarried man in the . townshipshould kill six blackbirds or three crowsyearly while he remained single, andthat as a penalty for disobeying theorder he should not get married untilhe had destroyed the number of birdshe was in arrears. 7 '\u25a0.'\u25a0•'*. \u25a0*•*\u25a0\u25a0-\u25a0

For some time C. E. Hassenpflug, awell known Paterson man of advancedyears, has been suffering from a severepain in of his fingers. The doctorsthought it was a felon, but yesterdaymorning there came from the lingerabout half of a large steel hairpin.How the hairpin got into the finger is amystery. Mr. Hassenpflug says that hehas heard of people swallowing thingswith needles in them and having theneedles come out of different and dis-tant parts of the body after the lapse ofyears; but, although 'he has a pretty goodmemory, he says that he is unable" tore-member that be ever swallowed a girlwho wore hairpins.
