Such partics have always been events worthy of more than passing notice, remarkable alike for their complotences of detail and thorough enjoyableness.

The tendency to double up and build a home, in which to garner the harvost of love aud sur- their seats a3 the last strain of the | L g i ik that comfort and con- | tentment, unattaivable in boarding housea and spare rooms, is n most gratifying one, It secures stability to tho purpose of thoss who enter the | holy tate, and, in most cases, mukes them better men and women. The records of the oounty ocourt for the pant year show several Intereating wnd peculiar features, November ranks first a8 a marrying month, with a re- cord of b1, fullowsd by September and October, 45 each. Red hot July comos up prespiring with 44,and fickio March with 41, December comes next with 39, and_Fubruary and May tie at 32 April, June and “August 31 each, and January 24, Total for the year, 446 Out of this number 300 couples are crodited as residents o Omaha, 41 as residonts of Douglas county outside the city. Forty pair came from vari- ous portions of the state to secure a permit and spend the honeymoon in the metropolis, and 26 Towa couplen wero likewise attract d by the charis of the “Gate City.” Seven couple met here by appointment, took, the onth of allogiance and went their sev oral ways rejoicing Two Toxans, one Newfoundlander and two Utah maids traveled to town to meot their mates and found them. Other states contributed 32. Soven Omaha women brought their “lords” from other states, married them here aud departed with them The nativity ot the patties shows a remurkable preponderance of the for. eign-born, and the strong tendency of iuter-macriage of the Germanic races. Germany leads with a record of 42 couples, and 13 natives of the Fath- orland who sought and found their mates in other cimea. Sweden comes uext with 38 couples and 8 halves; Deumark 25 coup es and 7 halves; Bohemis 9 and 2 halves; Hungary 7, sud Austria 1 couple. Irelund comes up weoping with a record of five cou- ples, althouzh in three instances hos- ulitics with England were suspended lung enoush to allow the celebration of the union. Nine men and seven women of Irish bieth juined b and toriunes with native and in one instance with & German, Extremes met in the case of a Chiua- u aud & South American woman, who settled down togother iu this aity. BEogland has a record of 3 native coupies; Eng'and and Germany were united once, England aud Wales 1, and England and Sweden 1. One lonesome Russinn allied his tortunes with those of a German woman, aud an orphan_from the ““land ot chiv- alry” found his better half to be a ua- tive of Brazil, The “flight of years” increases the number of marrisgeable uatives of Nebraska. Duiing the year 18 native women aud 7 men joined the procersion, but in no iustance were any two nutives juined. The record only shows two persons of opposite 8¢x to huve beon born in Omaha, and they, too, wandered beyond the boun- dary tor their mates. "Tho record of age shows no devia- tion from the rule that most women marry betweon 18 and 22, and mon from 21 to 26. Two girls were plucked ut 15; ut sweet 16, 7 were mated; at 17, at 18, 30 joined the married throng, and at 19 the limit and dividing lino was rcach, with a record of 45. Nieteen is there fore the ypopular and iuteresting period in girlhood, and afier one passes that age her prospects gradually decrease till 22 is reached, when the descent to old maidhood strikes o 2:40 giit. Thirty-eight wero warried at the age of 20 and ached and passed 21, Fr 30 years of age 170, or a fra 22 for each year, were maricd, and 27 were browsing on the autumn side of life (between 30 and 40) ere they found a keoper.

This exhibit is not without its cheering features, particularly cheer- ing to the forlorn bachelors on the anx ious bench, oa whom the quail tracks of time are conspicuous and colored. Forty-eight widows cast aside the emblews of regret and tried their luck again, One had loved and lost and warried again at 21, one each at 22, 23 and 24, and the oldest recrossed the matrimonial rubicon at 42. The ages of cach couple were well balunced, there being but few instances where the difference excoeded ten years The most noticeablo was that of two Towans, the man being 64 and the womar The oldest couple were natives of Canada, 60 and 57 respec- tively; the youngest 19 and 16, There was only one iustance recorded where in the woman was ten years older than Mrs, Windsor, at Brownoll Hall, takes | the man, the latter 51 and the former [t i1 FROM JANUARY 15T 10 TTH, 1882 Anton Pogisil, aged 27, to Burbara Polacek, aged 27. l' Wiliam Daily, aged 47, to Mrs, Elizaboth Hoel, aged 46 James G Miss Bell L.
