The Navy Department will soon offtsr for sale the ironclads Kickapoo, Manay unk, Manhattan, Tippecanoe, and Win nebago, now laid up in the Mississippi at New Orleans.

The Chicago Republican says that the trial of Rev. Chablks E. Cheney, rector of Christ Churcb, in that city, has been set, for non-conformity to the ritual in the omission of the words "regenerate' and "regeneration' from the baptismal service. The hearing and its issue will attract great attention, and all the mere because in the points involved Mr. Cheney's sympathizers outnumber those of the Bishop. Probably very few of the denomination, either pastors or laity, beHere that regeneration is the fruit and accompaniment of baptism but the words are there, and how to get rid of them is the real difficulty. Mr. Ohenet excises them for himself—an employment of private judgment that comes vary opportunely in to illustrate the ritualistic controversy though the rector of Christ Church is not the man to enjoy the encounter for its own sake. He is a most indefatigable and earnest pastor, with a large and harmonious church, in the best residence quarter of Chicago.

A Washington correspondent who hss made a careful examination of the fourteenth amendment to the next censur, stoows that the Southern States, wherein the right of franchise is impartial, febd that portion of the population which has been disfranchised on account of partici pation in the rebellion is counted in the ratio of apportionment, will be grea'.ly benefited by the increase of the numbers of their Congressional representation.— The Northern States, wherein the franchise right is not impartial, will be injured to a corresponding extent by the decrease of their representatives. If however, the fifteenth amendment is adopted trafore the census is taken, only those States wherein exists an impartial distinctkAOD' account of property, educational or na tivitv qualifications, will suffer. Th amendment is in reality nothing but*a constitutional enactment of the civil rights bill as applied to the right of suffrage.— It is, therefore, possible for any State to disfranchise negroes or Cbinamon Who have become citizens, on account of the lack of any qualification, if^ at the same time, they disfranchise whites for the same reason. It is hardly possible that Indiana will suffer under the new appointment. On the contrary, it is expected that the delegation from this State will be inoreased. It is quite prahabla that the Census Committee will recom~*s stiam. rcO

The Tennessee State Journal, Stos.iv new organ at Nashville, opens its first number by saying that "Truth crushed to •arth won't stay cruehcd, because the eternal years of God are hers." The Ban* ner, commenting on this, says that the ex-rebels have "waited four eternal years for enfranchisement, and if truth crushed to earth fails to rise again tLij summer we shall give her up."

Ths Express says there is no authority for teaching "do ra me fa eol" in thocommon schools.—Journal. "The Express says" nothing of the kind. We find ample "authority" for a Music Teacher as well as a Superintendent of the City Schools. But we do not find any more authority for paying the former out of the Special School revenue than there is for paying the latter. Id our opinion tho Trustees have a^cleaf^ right to pay both from that fund, and they know that if such a mode of paying the Music Teacher is legal it would be equally so in the other case. We do not believe, however, that there is any objection, od the part of the friends of our schools, to the employment of Professor Paiqk, or the manner of paying him. That portion of the action of the Trus tees seems to be universally endorsed.

The economical condition of the eman cipated slaves is approximated by the fact that the Freedmen'B Savings Bank, with twenty-four branches, distributed throughout thirteen States and tho District of Columbia, aggregate deposits for the year 1868 to the extent, in round numbers, of about $1,000,000, on which, during the same period, interest was paid to depositors, amounting to $24,397.39. When such a fund can be collected within such a circumscribed number of localities, the general economy, industry and productiveness of tho ex-slaves can bo easily imagined. Take tho whole race, and probably $20,000,000 would be an under rathor than an over estimate of the surplus earnings of the negroes of the once slave-holding Statos for the year 1868.— Considering how utterly destitute this class of laborers was, and how ignorant, inexperienced and helpless, when turned adrift from their masters, by the eventualities of war, some four years ago, this showing is greatly to its advantage. A people capable of such accumulation, amid defraudment and repression, oertainly must possess some of the most deB sirable qualities of human nature, Such as patience, self-denial, perseverance, fixed determination, and preparation against probable contingencies.

Courtship and Wedding of Gen. Tom Iluuwud lATinia Warren.

bt phineas t. BABITOM.

It was by no means an unnatural circumstance that I. should be suspected of having instigated and brought about the this marriage of Tom Thumb with Lavinia Warren. Had I done this, I should at day have felt no regrets, for it has proved in an eminent degree, one of the happy marriages." I only say, what is known to all of their immediate friends,that from first to last their engagement was an afIttir of the heart—a case of "love at first sight"—that the attachment was mutual, and that it only grows with the lapse of time. But I had neither part nor lot in instigating or ia occasioning the marriage. And as lam anixous to be put right before the public, and to to correct what eyer of false impression may have trained ground, I have procured the con sent of all the parties to a sketch of the wooing, and nuptials. Of course I Bhould not lay these details before the public ex cept with the sanction of thoeemcat interested, In this they content to pay the penalty of distinction. And if the wooings of kings and queenB must be told, why not the courtship and marriage of Gen. and

Mrs Tom Thumb? The story is an inter eeting onee, and shall be told alike to exonerate me from the suspicion named, and to amuse those—and they count by scores of thousands—who are interested in the welfare of the distinguished couple.

In the Autumn of 1862 Lavinia Warren was on exhibition at the Museum. that period Tom Thumb had no business engagement with me in fact, he was not on exhibition at the time at all —he was taking a "vacation" at his house in Bridgeport. Whenever became to New York be naturally called upon me, his old triend, at the Museum. He happened to be in the city at the time referred to, and one day he called, quite unexpectedly to me, while Lavinia was holding one of ber levees. Here he now saw ber for the first time, and very naturally made her acqninlance. He -had a short interview with her, after which be came directly to my private office and desired to see me alone. Of course I complied wi* his request, but without the remotest suspicion us to his object. I closed the door, and the General took a seat. His first ques don let in the light. He inquired about the family of Lavinia Warren. I gave him the facts, which I clearly perceived afforded him satisfaction of a peculiar sort. He then said with great frankness, and with no less earnestness: "Mr. Barnum, that is the most charm iog little lady I ever saw, and I believe she was created on purpose to be my wife! Now, he continued, "you have alway been a friend of mine, and I want you to say a good word for me to her. I have not pleanty of money, and, I want marry and settle down in life, and I real ly feel as if I must marry that young la dy."

The little General was highly excited and his general manner betrayed tbo us uitl anxiety, which I doubt not most of my readers will understand without a de scription. I could not repress a smile, nor forget my joke, and I said '•Lavinia is engaged already." "To whom Commodore N utt 7" asked Tom Thump, with much earnestness, and some exhibition of the "green eyed mon ster." "No, General, tome," I replied. "Never mind," said the General laughing, "you can exhibit her for while and then give up the engagement but I do hope you will favor my eui with her."

I told the General that this was too sudden an affair that he must take time to think of it, but he insisted that years of thought would make no difference, his mind was fully made up. "Well, General,"I replied, "I will not opposeyou in your Buit, but you must do your own courting. I tell you, however, the Commodore wi]l be jealous of you, and you will have to proceed very cauliouSly if youBUcceed in winning her affactions,"

The General thanked me, and prom ised to be very discreet. A change now same suddenly over him in several par ticulars. He had been (much to his credit.) very fond of his country home in Bridgeport, where he spent his intervals of rest with hia horses, and especially with his yacht, for hia fondness for the water was his groat passion. But now he was constantly having occasion to vis it the city, and horses and yacht were strangely neglected. He had a married sister in New York, and his visits to her multiplied for, of course, he came to New York "to see his sister I'' His moth er, who resided in Bridgeport, remarked that Charles had never before shown so much brotherly affection, nor so much fondness for city life.

His visits to the Muaeum were very frequent, and it was noticeable that new relations were being established between him and Commodore Nutt. The Com-, modore was not exactly jealous, yet he strutted around like a bantam rooster whenever the General approached La vrinia. One day he and the General got into a friendly scuffle in the dressing room, and the Commodore threw the General npon hia back in "double quick" time. The Commodore is lithe, wiry l^^d quick in his movements, but the Gen. eVai is naturally slow, and although he was considerably heavier than the Com modore, he floon found that he could not stand before his in & personal encoun ter. Moreover, the Commodore is naturally quick-tempered, and when excited he brags about his knowledge of "the manly art of self-defence," and sometimes talks about pistols and bowie knives, &c.

Tom. Thumb, on the contrary, is by na tural disposition decidedly a man of pfiace hence, in this, agreeing witb Falstaff as to what constituted the '-better part of valor," he was strongly inclined to keep his distance if the little Commodore showed any belligerant symp toms.

In the course of several weeks the Gen eral found numerous opportunities to talk with Lavinia, while the Commodore was performing oo the stage, or was other wise engaged and, to a watchful discern er, it was evident ha was making encouraging progrtse in the affair of the heart. He also managed to meet Lavinia 0» Sunday afternoons and evenings, with out the knowledge of the Commodort 4»ut lie assured me he bad not yet dared HoSeggest matrimony.

He finally returned to Bridgeport, and begged that oa the following 'turday I would take Lavinia up to my house, and also Invite him.

His immediate object in this was that his mother might get acquainted with Lavinia, for he fleered opposition from that source whenever the idea of his marriage should be suggested. I could do no less than accede to his proposal, and on the following Friday, while Lavinia and the Commodore vera sitting in the green room, I said "Lavinia, you may go up to Bridgeport with me to-morrow morning, and remain until Monday." "Tuankyou," she replied "it will be quit* a relief to get into the country for a couple of day*."

The Commodore immediately pricked his ears and said: "Mr, Barnum, I should like to go to Bridgeport to-morrow." "What for?" I asked. "I want to see my little ponie3 I have not seen them for several months," he replied.

I whispered in his ear, "you little rogue, that is the pony you want to see," pointigg to Lavinia.

He insisted I was mistaken. When 1 remarked that he could not well be spared from the Museum, he said: "Oh! I can perfdirm It half "pftst seven o'clock, and then jump on the eight o'clock evening train, and go up by myself, reaching Bridgeport'before eleVen and return early Monday morning.'

I feared there would be a clashing of interests between the rival pigmies but wishing to please him, I consented to his request, especsally as Liviniaslso favored it. I'wished I could then fathom that little woman's heart, and see whether she (who must have discovered the secret of the General's frequent visit# to the Museum) desired the Commodore's visit in order to stir up the* General's ardor, or wheather, as seemed to me the more likely, she was seeking in this to prevent a denouncement which she was not inclined to favor. Certain it is, that though I was tbe General's confidante, and knew all his desires upon the subject^ no person had discovered the slightest evidence that Lavinia Warren had ever entertained the remotest suspicion of his thoughts regard, ing marriage. If she bad made the dis. covery, as I assume, she kept the secret well. In fact, 1 assured Tom Thumb that every indication, so far as any of us could observe, was to the effect that his suit would be rejected. Tho little Geo era! was fidgety but determined, heuce he was anxious to have Lavinia meet his mother, and aleo see bis possessions

Bridgeport, for he owned considerable land and numerous houses there. The General met ua at the depot Bridgeport on Saturday morning, and drove us to my home in his own carriage —his coachman being tidily dressed, with abroad velvet ribbon and silver buckle placed upon his hat, expressly for tho occasion. Lavinia was duly informed that this wag tbe Geueral's I'lurn out," and after resting half an hour at Lindencroft he took ber out to ride. Ha stopped few moments ul his mother's house, where she saw the apartments which his father had built expressly for him, and filled with tho most gorgeous furniture—all corresponding to his own diminutive size Then he took her to East Bridgeport, and undoubtedly took occasion to point out in great detail all tbe houses which he owned, for he depended much upon hav ing his wealth make some impression up on her. They returned, and the Gener al stayed to lunch. I asked Lavinia how she liked her ride sbe replied •'It was very pleasant, but," she added "it seems as if you and Tom Thumb own about all of Bridgeport

The General took his leave and return ed at five o'clock to dinner, with his mother. Mrs. Stratton remained until seven o'clock. Sbe expressed herself charmed with Lavinia Warren but not suspicion passed her mind that little Charlie was endeavoring to give her this accomplished young lady as a daugh ler-in-law. The Goneral had privately asked me to invite him to stay over night, for, said he, "If I get a chance, intend to 'pop the question' before the Commodore arrives." So I told his moth er I thought the General had better stop over night, as the Commodore would be up in tbe late train, adding that it would be more pleasant to have the little folks together. She assented and tbe General was happy.

After tea Lavinia and the General sat down to play backgammon. As nine o'clock approached I remarked that it was about time to retire, but somebody would have to sit up until nearly eleven o'clock in order to let in tho Commodore The General replied: "I will sit up with pleasure—if Miss Warren will remain also."

Lavinia carelessly replied that she was accustomed to late hours, and she would wait and see the Commodore. A little supper was placed upon the table for the Commodore, and the family retired,

Now, it happened that a couple of mis cbievous young ladies were visiting at my house, one of whom was to sleep with Lavinia. They were suspicious that the General was going to propose to Lavinia that evening, and in a spirit of ungovernable curiosity, they datermined, not withstanding its manifest impropriety, to witnesB the operation, if they could pos sibly manage to do so on the sly. Of course this wa9 inexcusable, the more so as so few of my readers, had they been placed under the same temptation woul have been guilty of such an impropriety I Perhsps I should hesitate to use the testi mony|of such witnesses, or even to trust it. But in a'jfew weeks after they told the little couple tbo whole story, were forgiven, and all had' a hearty /augh over it.

It so happened that tbe door of tbe sit-ting-room in which the General ftd Lavina were left at tbe backgammon board, opened into the hall, just at the side of Lhe stairs, and these young misses, turning- out tbe lights in the hall, seated themselves upon the stairs in the dark, where they had a full view of tho cosy little couple, and ware within easy ear shot of all that was said.

The house wa9 still. The General soon acknowledged himself vanquished at backgammon, and gave it up. After sitting a few moments he evidently thought it was best to put a clincher on the financial part of his abilities so he drew from his pocket a policy of Insurance, and handing it to Lavinia, he asked her if she knew what it was.

Examining it, she replied, "It is an insurance policy. I sea you keep your property insured." "But the beauty ot it/is, it is not my property," replied the General, "and yet I get tbe benefit of the insurance in case of fire. Y"U will see," he continued, unfolding the policy, "this is the property of Mr. Williams, but here, you will observe, it reads 'loss, if any, payable to Charles _S. Stratton? jjf his interest may appear.' The fact is,'I loaned Mr. WilliamB three thousand dollars, took a mortgage on bis house and made tiim insure it for my benefit. In this way, you perceive, I get my interest, and be'has to pay lhe taxes." "That is a very wise way, I should think,'1 remarked Lavinia. "Tnat is the way I do erft my business," replied the General, complacently, as he returned the huge insurance policy to his pocket. "Ifou see,'' hecontinued, "Inever lend any of my money without taking bond or mortgage seouriiy, then I have no trouble with taxes: iny principal is secure, and I receive mv interest regularly-"

The explanation seemed satisfactory to Lavinii, and the General's courage began to rise. Drawing his chair a little nearer to hers, he said: "So you are going to Enrope soon?" "Yes/' replied Lavinia, "Mr. Barnum intends to take me over 1n a couple of month?." "You will find it very pleasant," remarked the General, "I have been there twice in fact I have spent six years abroad, and I like tbe old countries verv much." "I hope I shall like the trip, and I expect I shall" responded Lavinia,"for Mr. tfarnnm says I sball visit all the principal cities, and he has no doubt I will be invited to appear before the Queen of England, the Emperor and Empress of franco, tbe King of Prussia, the Emperor of Austria, and at the' Courts of any other countries which, we may visit. Oh! I sail like that, it will D.e so new to me." "Yes, it will be very Interesting, indeed. I have visited most of the crowned heads,'' remarked the General, with an evident feeling of jjelf-congratulation.—1

Bit are yoa net afraid yon will be lonesome in a strange country?" asked the General. "No, 1 think there is no danger of that, for friends will accompany me," was the reply. "I wish I was going over, for I know all about the different countries, and could explain them all to you," remarked Tom Thumb. "That would be very nice," said, Lavi-. nia. "Do you think so?" said the General, moving his chair still closer to Lavinia's. "Of course," replied Lavinia, coolly, 'for I, being a stranger to all the habits and customs of the people, as well as to the country, it would be pleasant to have some person along who could answer all my foolish questions." "I should like it first rate, if Mr. Barnum would engage me," said the General. "I thought you remarked the other day that you had money enough, and was tired of traveling," said Lavinis, with a slightly mischievous look from onecorner of her eye. "That depends upon my company while traveling," replied tbe General "You might notfiod my company very agreeable." "I would be glad to risk it."

Well, perhaps Mr. Barnum would engage you if you asked him," said Lavi nia. "Would you really like to have me go?" asked the General, quietly insinua* ting his arm around her waist, but hardly close enough to touph her." "Of course I would," was tbe reply.

Tbe little General's arm clasped tbe waist closer as he turned his face nearer to hers, and said "Don't you think it would be pleasanter if we went as man and wife?"

The little fairy quickly disengaged his arm, and remarked that the General was a funny fellow to joke in that way. "I am not joking at all,'' said the General, earnestly, "it is quite too serious a matter for that." "I wonder why the Commodotre don't oome? said Lavinia. "I hope you are not ansfious for his arrival, for I am sure I am not," responded the General, "and what 19 more, I do hope you will say 'yes,' before he comes at all!'' "Eerily, Mr. Stratton(" said Lavinia with dignity, "if you are in earnest in your strange proposal, I must say I am surprised." "Well, 1 hope you are not offended, replied the General, "for I was never more in earnest in my life, and I tappe you will consent. The first moment saw you I felt that you were created be my wife." "But this is so sudden." "Not so very sudden it is several months since we first met, and you know all about me and my family, and I hope you find nothing to object to in me." "Not at all on the contrary I have found you very agreeable, in fact I like you very much as a friend, but I have not thought of marrying, and—" "And what? my dear," said the Gen eral, giving her a kiss. "Now I beg of you, don't have any 'buts' or 'ands' about it. You say you like me as a friend why will you not like me as a husband You ought to get married I love you dearly, and I want you for a wife. Now, deary, the Commodore will be here in a few minutes—I may not have a chance to see you again alone—do say that we will be married, and I will get Mr. Bar num to give up your engagement."

Lavinia hesitated, and finally said: "I think I love you well enough to consent, but I have always said I would never marry without my mother's con sent."

Oh I I'll ask your mother. May I ask your mother? Come, say yes to that, and I will go and see her next week.— May I do thatf pet?"

Then there was a sound of something very much like the popping of several corks from as many beer bottles.— The young eaves-droppers had no doubt as to the character of these reports, nor did they doubt that they sealed the be trothal. for immediately after they heard Lavinia say: "Yes, Charles,you may ask my mother." Another volley of reports followed, and then Lavinia said, "Now^ Charles, don't whispor this to a living soul let us keep our own secret for the present." "All right," said the General, "I will say nothing but next Tuesday I shall start to see your mother." "Perhaps you may find it difficult to obtain her consent," said Lavinia.

At that moment a carriage drove up to the door, and immediately the bell was rung, and the little Commodore entered —Packard's Monthly.

NATURAL IRIS a REPUBLICAN AfeSO CIAT10N.

Call for a Convention in Chicago, July Fourth. From the able address of the Executive Committee of Illinois, called for a conven tion of thelrish Republicans in-Chicago, of July 4, we extract 83me striking pas. sages:

We trust that the time has forever gone by when the Irish people could ijo used as the mere instruments, of party ambition, and when their opinion on the interests ofjbis Commonwealth would meet with little or no attention. You are a power in this country,you areeix millions of Irish birth and blood—and you would long ago have been a- weighty element had you realized your position. Unhap pily you have been too long blind, not alone to yuor interests, to tlje. advancement of liberty.

Your victorious cheer has been heard in the ranks of the Union army, and in peace as in conflict your loyal voice should give assurance of your allegiance to the young and vigorous party that has steered the county through tbe storm cf cival war and to-day guides the destinies of forty millions of free people. You should not be in the rear guard of progress your place ought to be in the van, as becomes a race whose history is replete with the records of brave stiagg'ea and great sacri flees at tbe shrine of liberty. In our land we have had the unhappy distinction of being the oppressed as well as the most devoted lovers of freedom. In America, wbere we are free, it should be our pride and care to preserve our a&cient fame unsullied therefore, no paltry prejudice or unreasonable obstinacy should chain our liberalism or justily your opponents in stagmatizing you as foes to advance ment and cbspmioas or COQ lervatism.

Where outsjde of New York city—in which you constitute the party—do your Democratic masters reward your infidelity to liberty? Do not these men count you theirs in any case, and have they not regarded you at times as mere "voting cattle?" That is certainly not a high position for a spirited people to hold. The Government of Great Britian—which reflects tbe national sentiment—was and is bitter anti-Republican. The only section of tbe British Empire friendly to* America in the day of her adversity was enslaved Ireland. At home, your brethren were a unit for the success of the Federal arms and England openly supported tbe rebels, Ireland would have risked all, and, in the words of the Dublin resolutions at 1861, passed at the time of the Trentcom« plication, "Would never give to the Brits ish (government a ^hilling or a man to aid in the destruction of American unity in tbe bombardment of Amerioan cities, or in the humiliation of the Amen-, can flag!"

Here you did not speak lor yourselves —you allowed the Democratic demagogues to do thejalkiag avdto misrepresent you—so that you were made to appear, as a majority, unfriendly to the national aause. Well was it for yoa and for lis that Irip£i soldiers, fired by their Valor
