MARRIAGE OF WIDOWS IN INDIA.—An evidence of the advance of civilization in India will be found in the fact that a widow marriage was celebrated on May 5th, in Girgaum, under the auspices of the Widow Marriage Association.

The bride, Sakhoo Bai, who is only eighteen years of age, is a Des- basth by caste, and she lost her first husband when she was quite young. There was a goodly number of educated natives present at the wedding, and everything passed off quietly and well.
