his story, which he was not "unwilling to
tell, in the hope that.his experience might
be of benefit to others who are affected
similarly.
" I was taken ill in August, 1887," said
Mr. Marshall, " and for three years and a
half I was scarcely able to leave my room.
My illness, I believe, was the result of a fall
I had a year before, and it left me helpless.
I 'had absolutely no sensation in my body
below the waist, could not feel pins stuck
in me, and' was deprived of the use of my
limbs. For more than three years I was not
able to leave the ho'iise, any more than on
very fine days 1 might go as far as the cor-
ner, and during all that time I was never
down town. I had the best medical assist-
ance, but the ti(tiotors all agreed I could not
recover. I tried all kinds of patent medi-
cines, but none of them did me any, good.
I also tried electricity, having as many as
three batteries on me,at once, but it was all
of no avail:

when Mr. Parnell was,stopping at Brighton.
When the conveyance was ready Mr: Patrnell
and Mrs. O'Shea entered the phaeton, and
orders were given to the coachman to drive
qtw rd. After the party had left
w
Bri bton behind them, the driver was
dir cted to proceed to Steyning by a

Tine o'clock, at which time a heavy rain
.vas falling. Upon entering the town Mrs.
O'Shea, who was familiar with the place,
relieved the coachman of the ribbons and
drove direct to the registrar's office herself.
Mr. Parnell was dressed in dark clothes.
He appeared to be well and in cheerful
spirits, but occasionally threw nervous
glances around him, apparently being some-
what anxious lest the weddingparty be
observed. Mrs. O'Shea was -also in dark
attire and wore a pink trimmed bonnet.
She, too, was in good spirits, and was • very
vivacious bpthbeforeand after the ceremony.
It is announced that a second and religious
marriage, will take place in London im
mediately, so as to satisfy the Catholics.

AN IMPORTANT .DECISION.
Alien Contrast I.mbor Law Applied to Cana.
Man Emigrants to the States.
A Washington despatch says: A test
case under the Alien Contract Labor law
has just been presented for the consideration
of the Treasury Department. The ruling
has beeh adverse to a practice which has
very naturally obtained among Canadian
mechanics living near the border. The facts
are these : Wirt. Knight, a carpenter,
arrived by a ferry boat at the port of Sault
Ste. Marie, Mich., on June 2nd, and on
being questioned stated that he had previ-,
ously crossed the river from Canada into
Michigan and arranged for employment at
his trade with one Malcolm Blue ; that he
then returned to Canada to get' his togls and
was now on his way to fulfil his engagement
with Blue. The inspector at that port
-barred• him-as...00mizng-within- the law -pro-
hibiting the immigration' of alien contract
laborers, and the question was submitted to
the Treasury Department. Assistant Sec-
retary Nettleton yesterday 'ruled thatthe
case comes within the prohibition of the
statute, and that Knight was properly pre-
vented from landing since he did not come
as an intending citizen,.andhadlentered.into
a contract to labor before crossing the
boundary -line -to - remain.-- •-
