Stalwarts and half-breeds have their revenges in New York. had and diould now burv the hatchet. Secretary Blaine stated in his cross examination in the Guiteau trial that he was the author of .the term "stalwart Ilepuhlican." It w ould be a great relief to newspa per readers in general, if the Washing ton authorities would try Howgate, and stop indicting him. Jay Gould's nemesis was an amateur. That's not the kind of man to fool with .Jay, who has iieen manipulating pro fessionals all his life.

An exchange savs the mission of the white man's jmrty will never be finished, as long as Whittaker carries his ears or Flipper wears his shoulder straps, Commissioner of Pensions, Pudelv, will need 120,000,000, to meet the expenditures of his office up to the end of the fiscal year, ending, June 1, 182. In an account of the trial and execution of the murderers of President Lin coln, the Chicago Tribune says that it is Inhered by many who witnessed the execution that Mrs. Surratt was a corpse when hanged. It is thought she died from poison administered by her own hands. laroen, tne man milliner, who mis manages our public schools in the inter est of a fanatical imbccilety and a prom inent Democratic ward hustler, knows all alout "shall" and "will" but deuced little aliout truth and honesty. But then, when a man is compelled by his bosses to squirm and equivocate as a condition precedent to drawing his salary, he should not le exjiected to hold truth and honesty in very high esteem. On the contrary, quite the reverse. Spain and Cuba. There seems to Ixi a new movement among the eople of Spain, looking to a larger degree of jopular liberty than has ieen allowed in the Peninsula since the downfall of the Republic. Senor Castelar, leader of the Republicans, made a speech in the Chamber of Deputies recently re-affirming his devotions to the Republic, but at the same time complimenting the present government on the lilK'ral tendencies of its administration. The example of France prosjerous and powerful under a Republican form of government, is doubtless w orking a great but gradual change in the minds of the masses of the people of Europe. The nations nearest and most likely to be affected by this literal spirit of the trench, by reason of kindred ties of race and tongue, are Spain, Portugal and Italy. They must sooner or later, follow the lead of France and adopt a Republican form of government. The sooner the letter. We are more interested in the re sult.s in pain, because of her trans-At lantic possessions. The more lilwral the home government is, the tetter will the colonies le governed. And this brings us to Cuba, the Queen of the Antilles. In this island and nowhere else in America, except in Brazil, Negro slavery still exists. Some steps, it iscdd, have ken taken towards lu ul-

timate extinction, but in all essentials the foul blot still flourishes in this island, ami that, too, almost in gunshot of the United States coast. We knowthat slavery cannot in anv event last many years longer any where in America, but why should it last a single year longer? Its continuance in Cuba in any form is an insult to our government and its jK-ople, as well as a menace to the jiersonal safety and freedom of thousands of American citizens who visit that island as sailors, tourists and business men. Suppose a colored citizen of this country, is kidnapjtcd and taken into the interior of Cuba and held in servitude for years or until he dies, which has been and may be again done,

Not at all. I his uuestion ot errro slavery in Cuba and Brazil, is one which the Jsegro population of this country should agitate until our government sees the necessity of demand- . .. -i 1 sue its immediate and uneonmiionai alxdishment in both countries. New Fields. The success of Mr. S. A. Butler, a colored man of education, in China, an account of which was published in The Leaded, some time ago. suggests the idea of a new field f usefulness to themselves and the nice for educated young colored men. Mr. Butler is at the head of a native Chinese steam nnvifrjition mmmnv. the owners of thirty-five steamships, some of which ro piio-no-etl in traffic letween Jan Francisco and different Asiatic ports. This company of Chinese capitalists has entered the field of maritime com petition and bids fair to monoplize a large hare of the Pacific Ocean common carrvmg nusiness. 1 Mr Butler entered the .-crviee of the I company m a subordinate capacity , 1 1 " A, but displaying energy and organizing capacity ot high character, ne was a soon promoted to the head of the man agement. This instance of the succe of an American Negro in foreign lands is not an isolated case. Indeed, in no other country in America are there such great and almost insurmountable obsta cles to success in the pathway of the voimcr man of color as exist in the United States. There are manv instances in the Cen tral and South American countries, Mexico, the West India Islands, and elsewhere in America, w here men of Nerro blood have risen to eminence in the social, business and olitical world. It is true some have attained wealth and hiirh station in this country, but the number is few, and the struggle has leen made in the lace ot tea null v discouraging circumstances. What we want and what we should have, IS a free and untranimcleu chauee for success in me witn every oxner ciass 01 people. We haven't got this now, and in many resjects seem as tar from it ever. as Let us lc explicit and show clearly what we mean. It is true that in nearIv every state in the Union, white and colored people, insofar as the law. itself . - 1 T A a! is concerned, are equal. But the P portunities for success in life as between tli2 white and black man, are vastly uneoual. lhere is absolutely no restriction whatever upon the ambition, energy and sagacity of the white votith starting out in life. His own country and all the world is before him. He can go where he listeth ; do what he listeth. But how immensely different the opportunities for success in the life that await the colored youth. Confined to the very few and tortuous pathways he succeeds, if at all, almost against fate itself. It educated he must either teach, preach, or be a jKditician. The professions are not vet remunerative to him, all other lines of business are practically closed unless he has capital, which very few have. These are facts patent to everybody. In view of this condition of things, is it not well for our young men in school to begin to prepare themselves to seek wealth, fortune, and it may Ik-, fame in other than their native land. Let them prepare themselves for commercial pursuits by studying those branches that will be useful to them. A knowledge of such languages as the French, Spanish and possibly German will be valuable. Book-keeping, navigation, ' surveying, international law, etc., will lx of incalculable lenefit to those Avishing to go abroad. When thus tquipjed with that knowledge which conquers, let our young men le informed that thev can find fields of usefulness in China, Japan, elsewhere in Asia and her islands of the Pacific Ocean, and South America, where their color will lie no bar to their progress, as is the case in their native land. We should be adventurous, and go where we can do w ell. The example of American Negroes rising to prominence in other countries, will have a very salutary influence in eradicating the infamous prejudice that denies him an equal chance at home,

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The Assassin's Trial. Attempt to Kill Him. Congress. Official Changes. Southern Polities. Washington, Novemlier 21. The trial of the infamous Guiteau and the incidents connected therewith, engross the public attention here almost to the exclusion of every thing else. Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, of last week were consumed in securing-:! jury, so that the trial proper did not begin until Thursday, dudgc Cox dispensed with the iron-clad rule that excludes every man from the jury box w ho has expressed an opinion in the case. He eiP1CfM;u im uihuiuii Iii iuv i hm.-. in; only required them to swear they would brinjr in a verdict in accordance with tne evidence given. Nearly all of those selected stated that they had previously tormeü and expressed an opinion and that opinion invariably that the cowardly villain at the bar should Ix? hung. Only one of the jurors is a Negro. His name is Ralph Wormley, and he is a laliorer. Secretary Blaine was the first w itness for the prosecution. Besides him. Dr. Bliss was the principal witness tor the prosecution. The assassin has aroused additional bitter feeling against him self bv his imprudent and defiant bear ing in court, and it is a wonder that the dog has not leen shot down 111 his tracks as he deserves to lie. There was a feeling of marked disappointment in this city. a. was doumiess the case throughout the country, Saturday w hen it was learned that the assassin had been shot at, but not seriously hurt. The avenger would have immortalized himself had he taken better aim and either killed or seriously wounded the bloody brute. Bill Jones is the odd (? ) name of the gentleman who made this close call for fame, and he missed only by an unfortunate scratch. The direct evidence for the prosecution, was closed Monday, and Scoville lor the defense made his statement, stating that insanity would be their plea, and it is evident he intends to make a stubltorn fight. You will receive full particulars . 1 ease. Congress meet one week from Mon day next, and there are not a few pa triots in the city and more coming from near and from far, who are willing to f-erve their country for their country's good (money.) Many official changes, it is surmised, will occur about Decern - bor 1st and for a few months thereafter, hence expectancy, anxiety, respectively, rule the roost among the "outs" and "ins." It is conceeded that the Republicans will organize Imth Houses of Con gress, hence there is quite a contest go ing on for the principle places. The most spirited tight is for the Spea kership of the House. Hon. G. S. Orth, has owned headquarters at tin Ebbit House, and has gone into the fight to win. Hiscock, of New York; and and Kiefer, of Ohio, are his principal opponents; but as these two states al ready have nearly everything of impor tance, neither ought to expect the Spea kership, and what is more, neither of them will get it. It should go to the u est. and as Indiana is not likely to be represented in the new Cabinet, she ought to have the Sjx?akership. Mr. Orth is a gentleman of great legal abil ity, and of wide experience in political, diplomatic, and legislative attairs, and would preside over the House of Rep resentatives wnn necoming ami impar tial dignity and reserve. I hoe he may be chosen. There are a lot of cranks, or knaves rather, from the South, stvling them selves southern white iwepubiicans, ho principal mission seems to be to I VA'l-a l& JX Ulli 111 UUlVVi" 1L1 IllC VUUI I pr States themselves. The v are will fog, nay anxious, that the colored voters may stand solid, and do all or near ly all the Republican voting in the South, but at the same time these schemers think it is too early for color ed men to aspire to hold offiice. It is said that this class of Southern politi cians had the ear to a great extent, of tne Jast j wimmisira ion, out i is De evI .1 11 "1 X V A I III 4. I I ed that President Arthur will not allow himself to be misled bv these self-seek ers. Frederick Douglass is now absent from the city . on a lecturing tour, which includes several Southern cities. Mr. Douglass's new lecture is on the life, character, etc. of the immortal hero of Harper's Ferry, John Brown. From Mr. Douglass's intimate acquaintance, association with, and knowledge of the plans and purposes of the noble old pa triot, it is expected that the lecture will le one of gret interest to all who may be so fortunate as to hear it. As this may possibly be the last lecturing tour of the great orator he is now alxut seventy years of age he w ill doubtless be greeted by large audiences wherever he goes. It is understood that 31r. D. is also engaged on the autobiography of nis, wnicn win nououoi oe siu inieresi ing and valuable work. W. A. Pledger Esq. of the Athens (Ga.) Blade, is making a spirited con test for the postmastership of Athens, and I think with flattering prospects of success. He is chairman ot the Geor gia Republican central committee, and has the endorsement of many promi nent citizens of his vicinity irresjectivc of party. . He is opposed by Ben Hill and the Democrats, which fact ought to lie considered his lest recommendation for appointment. Ex- Governor Pinchlwiek, of Louisiana, left for New Orleans last week. Mr. John Green has returned to his post in the Treasury Department, from his home, Natchez, Miss., whither he went to exercise his elective franchise in the recent elections. The Bourlions, however failed to count his and several thousand Republican ballots, hence the state went Democratic. Mr. Neddie Brooks of Ironton Ohio, an old Oberlin boy is winning many golden opinions among the ladies for his attractive social qualities. Brooksy is a frisky young fellow, but I would not be surprised to hear ot hi being V

taken in on a flv bv some ashington lady.

John W. Patterson Esq. of Helena Ark., is residing in this city at present. Hon. Philip Joseph ot the Jlotme (Ala.) Gazette, is now here. It is thought he will lc appointed jmstmaster of Mobile. Prof. J. C. Ferguson, of Cincinnati, arrived here Tuesday. He is to personate King Ahasueras, in the acntata of Queen Esther. L. Iv. B. A Poor Shot. Another attempt was made Saturday last to kill the Guitteau Brute. A man mouuted on horseback rode up to the van in which the villain was being conveyed to the prison, and fired a shot directed at where he supj)osed the. assassin was, b;ff""imfortliinately only slightly wounding him in the arm. The scoundrel was well nigh scared to death, and for sanitary reasons, it was found necessary to remove his clothing for dsiinfecting when the prison was reached. The men who have been making a tar get of this ruffian, display a lack of marksmanship that is deplorable. The next public spirited citizen who wishes to save the country the great cost of finishing this trial, should use a double barreled shotgun loaded with slugs, Through such means the murderous wretch might lie convinced that the Deity has not dropped everything else to look after Ins safety. January and May. As a Memphis reporter was looking, over the marriage licenses in the County Clerk's ifice one afternoon there entered a youth, with epidermis of the midnight hue, leading a female of the colar known as "gritf" in the ol len time, and about fifty years old. Tho vouth eidled up to the counter in a bashful wh", and asked: 'Are you de gemtnan?" "1 am, certainly a perfect gentleman, answered the scribe; 4'what can I do for von?" "I wants somebody to jine us," responded the wain, with a bashful glance at his in amorata, which was returned with interest. but without the bahfulness. lie handed over as he spoke $1 in silver and a marriage license. TLo scribe saul lie could, or course, per form a more binding marriage ceremony than any other man in the ward, but didn't like to steal the job lrom friend of his who mime a specialty of the business. Deputy Clerk Shea here interposed and sain he would send for bquire . A mes sa?e was dispatched, and in a short while the Squire appeared and took charge. Ad varcing to tbe counter he eliminated his nat ana saia: "Join your riijht hands." The groom stuck out a toil-hardened digit an 1 the bride elect clasped it with the grip of death. As is usual in such cases, he looked sheepish and as if he would rather not go on. bhe gazed upon the assembled specta tators with the air of a fisherwoman who is reeling in a coveted and exhausted trout. Adjusting his spectacles, the Squire road the following address, pasted in the crown of Lis hat: 'You who have come before me this day tobe joined together in the holy state of Ten no, wedlock 1 mane, should consider yourselves lucky beyant the luck tr at gen orally befalls the human species. 31atri mony is a terri that is, lovely state, when rightly understDod. The wife should labor to" plaze her husbhnd, and the husband should turn his whole attention to plazing his better half, which is him that is, 1 mano hia wife. You should attend to each other in health and sickness till death do you part, which I sincerely hope will not be in the near future. You should remember that a friend in need is a friend indeed, and crovern your actions accordingly. Arid now, therefore, by the power in me v' by virtue of this license and mycommi sion, I pronounce you husband and wilVand may God have mercy on your eowls!'' And with that the Squire pocketed the dollar and went out at one door, Wjile the elderly bride led her victim out at another Garfield's Kncrgy and Perception. ICinclnnati Times. 1 There was one grand thing about Presi dent Garfield, and that was he never felt ashamed to work, no matter what position he filled. He was nlways engaged in some thing, and I have never seen him alone when his thoughts were not deeply engaged in something. One great thing that was no doubt the greatest secret ot his success was his constant desire to be elevated to a higher position. He was always reaching for some thing and never gave up until he received that for which ho was working. Again, he never was ashamed of his low condition or poverty, and I have often heard him say, during the course of conversations, that 'there never was a grander thing to see than a man or woman in earnest in anything thev undertake. Ho matter whether they may be right or wrong, to sec them in dead earnest and working for dear life for the object of their desires, is a noble sight to witness. I'll call your attention to another fact: He always went along with his eyes and ears open, catching up every opportunity to learn something. He would waik along the street and to merely glance at a stranger would not satisfy him, but he would watch a person and try to discover something in his countenance" and ho couldn't look at a lady without being able to tell you the color of every ribbon on her hat. He has often told me that the great keenness of his perceptive faculties were often painful to him. It traveling on a railroad train, and the cars by chance would stop a short time, he was oüt inquiring the cause of the delay, and while walking leisuiely along some highway he would meet a German or Irishman working he would stop and interrogate them, and then tell his friends what he had learned. He was always determined to learn something. Chatting Lies. IThe Safeguard. I A lie is a bad thing to run at largo. It damages, ravages, devours. More poisonous tnan a serpent, it often ruins health, reputation and usefulness. Every lie should be stopped. But whose business is it to chase a lie? Who let it loose? Tho man who let it loose is bound to catch it again; but a man of truth is under no obligation to chase, and catch other people's lies. Suppose some man or a dozen men send forth a falsehood about me, am I obliged to spend my days and years in chasing it and contradicting it? By no means. Let those who made it attend to their own work or meet the responsibility of it in the reckoning day. Every man concerned in sending forth a false statement must purge himselt of it, or give account to God for what ho has done. God holds men to very strict accountability in these respects, and every man who thinks to dwell in God's tabernacle must look well to his words and "refrain his tojigue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile." Edith to her doll "Tnere! don't staro so Tisn't pretty for little girls." Then falling into a reverie, she continued: "I don't see what little girls havo eyes for, for my part. I wonder when girls are old enough to stare? I must ask mamma when she began."

A TRICK NEATLY TUKXEI).

How a Thief was Inveigled into Produv Inj; Hi Spoils. t , " Dallas (Tex.) Herald. - ; ' In the local columns of the Herald of the morning of the 14th of September under the head of "Mysteriously Missing," there appeared an article concerning what was then believed to be. the sudden disappearance of Henry llernschrodt. a (Jerman, who had been boarding with H. Hoch, a German and a boue painter, who irofe.-sed to be at a loss to know what had become of him. Hoch told a very fine story about the im -s-ing man, which was to the e fleet that several davs previous to his mentioning it. llernschrodt left, his house, saying that be was jroing to walk dowu town, and that was the last he had seen of him, and failing to return that night he grew unea.-y about him and bad in-tituteda search, as he feared that he had been foully dealt with. He left his trunk and clothes at Hoch's house, on Collin street, and among the latter was found a bank-book, which indicated that he had a nivttv fair bank account. This is the storv as Hoch told it, and days elapsed and nothing was beard from llernschrodt, though there Avas a lurmng suspicion in me minds of one or two persons that Hoch's story was r.itucr un-atisfactory. Time wore on, and s nie two or three weeks afterward llernschrodt. the misMng man, put in an . rr - . a. . 4 . . appearance, coming irom larraui uwni), where lie had been pu king couon, ana wciu back to the indsor Hotel as cook, wliere lie had formerly been em ployed in that capacity. On going to 1 or i s to look at cr ins inuiK ana clothes, on opening tho former he discovered io his astonishment that a scaled thin Dox that contained $1,1!J1 in gold and currency was missing, and on inspecting the trunk lie found that the bottom bad been taken out and so ncatlv replaced as to almost defy de tection. He had intrusted his trunk and its contents to the keeping of Hoch, who mani fested the utmost surprise when apprised ot the fact that the money was missing. llernschrodt charged Hoch with the theft of his money, but he stoutly denied it, though he was arrested on a warrant sworn out by llernschrodt and lodged in Jail in default oi bond in the sum of $1,00, which he could not give. The recent Grand Jury found a true J bill against him, charging him with theft. In the meantime llernchrndt coutinmd his avocation as cook at the Windsor Hotel, and grieved continuously over the loss of the hard earnings he had been years in accumulating, and he aroused the sympathies of Mr. L. F. liohnv, who interested himself in the unfortunate man's behalf, and he visited Hoch at the Jail and endeavored to get him to tell what he had done with the money. At tirst Hoch stoutly denied any knowledge of it, and it was not until be struck upon a ruse that Mr. Ilohny met with anything like success. Mr. Dohny acquainted County Attorney Seay with his phms of procedure and then went to work. Yesterday morning he vkited Hoch and told him that if he would tell him where the money was buried, or give him $1,0' of it, he "would go on bis ' bond and secure his release. Hoch declined, and Mr. r.olmy oflered to go on his bond for $uo, then for $700, and so on down until he fell to 300, when Hoch said : "I'll do that; you see, me and my-family are bound to live." Mr. Dohny then planned with Hoch that when brought to the Sheriff's Oflice to make bind that he was t get permission to guard him while securing other signatures to the bond, and that while they were out Hoch was to go with him and show him where he had buried the money. In the meantime the otticers were acquainted with tl.t programme, and Deputy SherifT Miller was to shadow them and at the proper time to take charge of Hoch and get the money. Armed with a bogus bond, Mr. liohnv and the unsuspecting Hoch proceeded down Main as far as Market street, and turning north on the latter street, they w ilked to A. Muellen's carpenter shop, which Hoch entered, followed by Mr. Dohny, who had a pocket pistol in case his prisoner should attempt to run He walked through the shop into the small back yard, and, picking up a stick, scratched away the dirt in one corner, exposing a few inches below the surface two tin cans, which he put into his pocket. He and Mr. Uohny then went to his house on Collin street, where he counted out to the latter 3.) n currency, and handing him an extra $20 bid, h said: "Please buy me a ticket to St. Louis, and I will leave at once." Mr. IJohny pocketed the money and placing the other can, which was tilled with gold and a bundle of greenbacks, into his pocket, they started back down town. It was evidently Hoch's intentions to hide the money before returning to the herilfs oHice," but they had gone but a short distance when Deputy Sheritt' Miller put in an aipearance and took charge of him, and at the same time Mr. Bhnv walked oil in another direction, indicating to the officer bv a nod of the head that Hoch had the other part of the money in his pockets. On arriving at the S leriirs oflice the otlicer told Hoch that he wanted the money he had on his person At first he denied having any, but the ollicer began to search him and found wad of currency which he saie" he had sent to hia wife. The oflioer felt the tin can in his pocket, when Hch, hoping to throw him off his gtard. said: "That is nothing but a box of P'pper for seasoning my food," but the the inquisitive ollicer pulled it out, and upon opening it fo.md it full of gold. Hoch weakened now and fell into a chair. He had nothing to say, and when the ollicer told him he was ready to lock him up again he ft llnved without a word, tho.igh when near the Jail he said, with much feeling, in his broken English: "Mr. Miller, shoot me, please; draw your pistol and kill me." He was taken on and placed in his old puartcrs, and in a few minutes he burst into tears, weeping like a child. The money recovered amounted altogether with what Mr. Dohny and the ollicer got from him, to $l,0;2.r0, leaving $1!J..30 still missing, which he no doubt spent prior to his arrest. Hoch is about sixty years old, gray-headed, and has a wife and two children, little girls, who are in very poor circumstances. When Hernschodt was told that his money had been found he was wild with delight, and naturally grateful to Mr. liohnv and the officer for their trouble. The money is in the hands of the Sheriff, and when ordered by the Court will be turned over to the owner. The Encasement of Miss Clara Louise Kellogg, the SoiiRstress, to T. It. Whitney. New York Kxpress, November 23.J According to rumor current for some time and apparently substantiated yesterday by a dispitch from St. Paul, Minn., as well as by the statement of one or two Philadelphias likely to be informed on the sub ject, the pet if the lyric stage and pupilof Arditi. Clara Louise Kellogg, unless she changes her mind a privilege which popular sentiment always allots to the lady, especially if she is a prima donna is to be married at Jast, having found her fate in a Philadelphian. Thus speaks the Philadelphia Times. The cavalier upon whose suit the muses-and fortune have deigned to smile is Mr. Whitney, now. of New York, but to the Philadelphia- manner b rn Thomas II. Whitney, son of Klisha I). Whitney, the weadhy retired malster of No. l,!li Walrutstre'et.who recently held theattentionof the public for months by his persistent and suceessdul light against the baywindow of hi neighbor, J. Campbell Harris, Mr. Whitney has been in Hymen's bonds before. He was married in Philadelphia seventeen years ago to Miss Julia Ennis, an attractive and accomplished lady, residing in West Philadelphia. Mr. Whitney is in his fortieth year, but looks much younger. Eiisha I). Whitney, his father, to whom he bears a great resemblance, is one of the best preserved men of his years in Philadelphia erect, massive, and full of energy, with a tine, handsome head and face, anel looking no more than fifty, although he has probably passed threescore. mr. whitney's romaxtic career. "Tom" Whitney, as his friends have always called him, had a romantic and somewhat adventurous career. As the father's pet among several children, he has always been allowed to follow his inclinations, lie was not particularly partial to study, aud soon left the Academy where he was a pupil to study law in the office of the distinguished barrister, Den jam in Harris IJrewster, r.dio holds him in high estimation. He gave up law principally because his eyes were seriously alfeeteel, and partly because he found it tiresome for one of his restless

spirit. He went abroad ;ihe went to Egypt, he visited India, and finally swung around to China, where, catching something 'of ti e theii prevailing Chinese fever, he had some notion of engrtging in commercial enter pnses. He came back, however, and, encouraged by his father, who, although with means enough of Iiis own to keep his sons in atlluence, desired them to carve out fortunes for themselves if possible, he went to New York and started brewing. His success was great, and, according to various accounts, he amassed a fortune. He sold out advantageously in 177. Then Mr. Whitney went to Europe, just for pleasure, chaperoning a companion named Mrs. Fanshaw, with whom his name had been associated before.

M HETIXfJ MISS KELI.O(;r;. It was it Saratoga, last summer, that Mr. Whitney lirst met the lady who is to share with bun her lyre and laurel and handsome fortune, in the mingled gleam and shadows f the piazzas of the Cnifvd States Hotel they first met. Miss Kellogg had been around the world; so had Mr. Whitney. He was ; forty: the was thirty-nine, fair and comiiarätively sylph-like, although not so much !o as ?he ufd to 1, and they found that they had many sympathies in commonMr. Whitney had experienced affection ate conquests to which he was indillerent, and so had the charming mistress of the repertoire of thirty diilV rent operas. They wandered in sequestered walks: they drank from the same cup of the sparkling waters in, Congress Park,, and were often J seen t-gether arm-in-arm upon the promenade.' When some one attempted to speak disnareinciy of the companion of her walks. Miss Clara showed that she was by no means pleased, and set at once the seal of her favorable opinion of him. There was certainly no occasion to lind fault with his -personal appeaiance. A little above the medium height, with regular features and dark-brown hair, and Prince of Wales mustache and whisker?, and dressing in the ni 'sl, subdued but ekgant taste, he is what ladie-! everywhere would call "a handsome man." Only in the one articleof attire, the pecklic of which he wears a great variety, emblazoned with sapphires and other gems dots the somewhat Oriental tendency of his nature tit.d expression. ; KJCOAQKP AT TUE C LAKEXI ON.

Mrs. I ranees Ken nedy is a buxom young widow twenty-hve years old. Her husband elied about a vear ago from a fall. Six. months ago William dimming came courting her, and his atten tions not being distasteful to the widow, she finally consenteel to marry him in twelve months and a day from the date of her first husband's death. The happy day fell on Wednesday, and the ceremony was to take place a: tbe bride's house. A magnificent wedding feast was prepared, and about sixty guests were invited to partake ol it. The hour appointed for the marriage was set for p. m. In the forenoon the bridegroom-elect arrayed himself in his best and went otr to invite a few fiiends in the country, who had been forgotten. The afternoon mail brought a postal card from him, stating that he had conscientious scruples about marrying a woman so recently widowed, He would make it a matter of prayer, and would abide the result of his feedings when through. 'She was not to take this asa imsitlvc declination to niarry, but if lie did not arrive at o'clock p. m. she might consider the marriage off. Mrs. Kennedy did not faint or go into hysterics, but she decked herself inher bridil robes and smilingly re'eeiveel the guests bidden to the feast. When the minister anel all those with wedding garments had arrived, the lady called the meeting to oreler anel read tbe recreant Cumming's card. Loud and prolonged were the denunciations of the absent groom's conduct. "This need not prevent the feast," said Mrs. Kennedy, and the guests fell to banqueting immediately. After supier the room was cleared for dancing, and Mr. Washington Williams, an elderly bachelor, led the german with the bride, lie bei-arae so enamored of her that within an hour he proposed and was accepted. The min;ster was recalled, and at 11 p. m. Mrs. Kennedy was made Mr. Washington Williams. The marriage had scarcely been performed when the door-bell wu rung violently, and in stalked the conscientious Cuninnng. He had wrestled in prayer with the question, and had concluded to come back and marry. After being introduced to Mrs. Williams, "it was gently intimated to the broke up Cumming that tbe lateness of the hour suggested the propriety of his going. A Tartar' Courtship. "What do you pay in your country for a wife?" asked a Tartar of an Englishman. We pay nothing. We ask the girl, and if she says yes, and her parents don't refuse, we niarry her." "Dut if the girl does not like you? If she hits you on the head with her whip, or gallops away when you ride up to her side?" replied the Tartar, referring to his Nation's method of courtship by running after a girl on horseback. "What do you do in that case?" "Why, we do not marry her." '"But if you want to marry her very much; if you love her more than your best horse and all your sheep and camels tu

together?" the Tartar persisted, putting an extreme case for the sake of tbe argument. "We cannot marry her without her consent." "And are the girls moon faced?" ho continued setting forth a Tartar's perfection of female beauty. For a few moments he seemed hM in meditation. Presently, removing his sheepskin bat, and rubbing his shaven head, he asked: ''Will you take me to your country? It would be so nice. I should get a moonfaced wife, and all for nothing. Why, she would not cost so much as a sheep." "Put suppose she would not have yon?" "Not have me!" and the Tartar looked astonithed. "Not have me! Well, I should give her a white wrapper, or a ring for her ears or her nose." "And if she still refused yon?" "Why, I should give her a g ld orramcrt for her head; and what girl could resist such a present?" Anon.
