'There are tome curious things in ;
the law books," said gray beards!
lawyer to a Memphis Commercial re
porter aa they came down the Court,
house stepa. "It's settled law that a !
clergyman may perform the ceremony I
at h;s own marriage when none is j
present but himself an 1 his bride, :
and uon the most solemn Judgment
fixing the legitimacy of the offspring
and the descent of the estate.
"Rev. Bainuel Swayne Beamish was
clergyman of the United Churches of
England and Ireland, and on the 27th
lay of November, 1832, he went to
the house of Anne Lyons, in the dty
of Cork, and there performed the
ceremony of marriage between him
self and Isabella Frazer using the
form of the Book of Common Prayer,
but adapting the words to the unique
condition of the affair, and using also
the wedding ring. They supposed
that they were having the wedding
all to themselves, but Catherine Cof
fee was the 'Peeping Tom' of the oc
casion and saw the performance of
the ceremony from an adjoining yard,
but did not hear the words. The
marriage was pronounced a? valid as
one performed by a minister in holy
orders in the presence of witnesses,
although it wes irregalar and clandes
tine." "Would such a inariiage be valid
in Tennessee ?
"Don't know," said the lawyer,
cautiously; "but why should it not be
if he first procure a license ? The
statute says no formala need be ob
served except a declaration in the
presence of the minister or officer
that they accept each other as man
and wife, and all ministers of the
gospel may solemnize the rite of
matrimony."
"Could a justice of the peace marry
himself, also."
"Certainly, and all the judges and
chancellors; they all have this advan
tage over us common folks,, and it
would be a mere matter of economy
to do it."
"Have you any case in court, or are
you about to bring a case on this
point?"
"Ah, my friend, don't ask too much.
Wait and see."
"Will you notify me and give me a
scoop ?"
"TeB if I bring the suit."

I am told that the most remarkable
physician in England at the i resent
time lives in Birmingham. He is not
yet 40 years of age- I cannot recall
his name at this moment. What in
terested me in the talk I had about
him was the circumstance that he
violates many of the customs of life.
For example he dines at 7:30 o'clock
every evening, and at 9 o'clock he
goes to bed. At 2 o'clock in the morn
ing he rises, reads for two hours and
writes for three hours. At 8 o'clock
he eats a light breakfast, and then
goes to bed again, rising at 11. The
hours devoted to the practice of his
profession are therefore, with few ex
ceptions, between noon and 7 p. m.
The amount and quality of the work
done by this man are said to be sim
ply wonderful, and in five years he
has risen to a foremost place in the
medical profession.
I cannot forbear giving for the ben
efit of your dyspeptic readers a few
rules that are laid down by Eng
lish physicians for the observance of
those who suffer from acute indiges
tion: 1. Do not eat beef; it is too hearty
for the average dyspeptic. Eat lean
of mutton, perfectly boiled:
2. Bacon in small quantities may be
eaten; also thin slices of aerated
bread fried in bacon fat; also boiled
pig's feet and tripe, and the fish not
known as oily fish.
3. Eat no fruit. Of vegetables par
take sparingly of baked potato, rice
and boiled peas.
4. Bread may be eaten (aerated
bread preferred) in thin slices toasted
till they are brittle.
5. The brown meat of fowl may
be eaten. Avoid all sauces and gra
vies. :
6. Abstain from all liquors, drink
so tea unless it be fresh made.
7. Eat no eggs, except fresh raw,
well whipped. Sugars should be
avoided.
8. Drink no ice water, partake
freely of hot water and hot milk (not
boiled).
9. Lie down for twenty minutes af
ter each meal.

Before th war a man wmon trial
in Laudmlah county for luurder.The
circuuislantiitl t'vileuee agaliiHt th
man was very strong. aid when the
jury retired and took n ballot the re
sult was six f r rouvictiou aud six for
vrquittal. It remained this way for
two days aud nights, neither side
showiLg any disposition to chaDge
their minds. At last one of the jury,
named Silvertooth ropoted, a game
of seven up between the opposing
sides, one man to be selected from
each side, and whoever won the los
ing side was to stand by the result.
This was agreed to.and 8ilvertooth,
who was in favor of acquitting the
prisoner, and another juror, who vas
strongly in favor of coniction, com
menced the game. It was a hotly
contested game, and each juror had
six points vhen it came Silvertooth's
time to deal. He shuffled the cards
carefully and dealt off the right num
ber to each and then turned a jack,
which made him win the game and
which saved the prisoner's life. The
six who were for conviction voted
with the other six for acquittal aad
the prisoner was discharged from cus
