How He Avon the Hand of an Attendant in the Boston Publle Library. Boston Correspondence Hartford Courant. I observe that one of my brother correspondents, of this city hits w ritten to a Hart ford paper an account of the marriage of an English gentleman with one of the attendants in the liostoti Public Library. This event seems to be revived in public attention periodically. I can give it to yon more minutely than it has yet been written out, and as, in "so doing, the indeieiidence of the American character will be illustrated in very favorable contrast to the manner in which it lias been exhibited in some other cases of foreign alliance by marriage, perhaps it is worth the space I shall give it. In this cas the young lady came to lloston from a country town in New Hampshire. She was a good specimen of the country girl, in robust health, and formed after the English model in frame or after what has been supposed to be the English model, for I observe that Mr. Richard (.rant White denies that tli' Engiish girls are of buxom build. This girl made no pretensions to ".style." ihe was well educated, and lirst got" some copying work to do, later receiving employment in tlie Public Library. There her English lover saw her. He was the young son of a distinguished and noble family, and he had very large wealth in his own right. He was here partially in the hope that change of air would cure a defect of hearing with which he was afflicted. He used to visit the Public Library and talk mostly in a business way about books with this young lady. Ity and by he asked iermission to call on her at her boarding house one of the respectable but far from pretentious places in the city at which boarders are taken. She declined to accord the permission. He then one night left vhe library with her, and waited upon her to her boarding house door. There her brother, who boarded with her, saw him, and objected to this being continued until she knew more about him. The gentleman then went to some friends in the city and procured letters setting forth who he was. On this the lady consented that he should call, lie came regularly afterward, and soon formally otTered himself to her in marriage. She refused him outright, She reminded him of the diil'erence in their conditions, and declared she would never agree to a marriage which must be so distasteful to his family. Without telling her what he was to do he took the next steamer for England, and in a few weeks reapjieared with a collection of most cordial letters from all his near relatives urotuisiiu: the lady a warm welcome into the familv. ami accompanied bv a reallv da.zlinr arrnv of presents. She refused to touch one of them, and again declared that she would not marry mm, tins time because her arents would object. The lover in the same quiet way started for the New Hampshire farm. He came npon the parent! unheralded and introduced himself. They, too, refused him. But they were struck w ith his manliness and simplicity, and agreed finally to leave the decision w ith the daughter. His devotion had its effect on her at last. She yielded, but, with cennine American independence. he would be under no obligation to him till they were married. She would not even accept an engagement-ring. She made her owntrousseaui.and it was very simple. They were married and went abroad. She said the severest ordeal of her life was when she met her husband's relations. To show how

on, F"raiis, last

simple her life had been, it is a fact

that at the reception there made for her she put on an evening party-dress for tlie tirst time in her life. One of her sisters was with her during this year, but after it was over came back to America and went to work to earn her living again. The conple visit America occasionally. Tliev have $Ient one year in California. The man iage Las proved a very happy one. In these days of Daisy Millers, wasn't the story worth telling, so as to fully bring out its better i-oints'. Tlie Democratic Outlook. 1I et ial Telegram to the Chicago Times. 1 SvKAd sr, X. Y., Feb. IT. The Syracuse ("ourier to-morrow will publish a series of interviews with conspicuous Iemoe.ratic statesmen ujson the reorganization of the party ior the coming campaign. Governor Seymovr, who has been ill for some time, was found at his home in I'tica. He said: "I have been shut up in mv house during the past four months byill health. I have seen but few with whom 1 could talkabout public atlairs, but it seems to nie that the policy of the Democratic partv is a plain one. It outnumbers the J Republican organization, as is shown by the returns, although tlio latter party had the assistance of nearly loo.iion onice-holders beside the stipirt "of large numbers who vote for its nominee for the purpose of promoting a scheme in which thev are interested. J loth Mr. Hayes and Mr. Gartield not only received less than a majority of the vote? of tlie American enple. but they were actually beaten as regards tlie number of their supporters) by the Democratic candidate. Ihe controversies in the republican party are more widespread and deeper than those of the Democratic party. Nothing more is needed for the success of the Democratic party than a steady and firm adhesion to its principles:. It is true that these have been tta frequently lost sight ot". but many schemes will be developed by the Republicans under the teachings of Mr. Garfield that owcr gravitates more and more into the hands of the General ( M.vcnimeiit, and for w hich Mr. Garfield rejoices. Hi speeches on this subject are invitations to all manner of schemes to liesiege theCapital. This will arouse the public mind to the necessity of returning to a constitutional jsoliey. While there are dissensions in both parties, the long continaed power of the Republicans has endangered controversies throughout the mass of their party, while the troubles iu the Democratic ranks are mainly local and more easily cured." J "What do you think of Grant's engineering for the nomination for President in 1S.S4 by the aid of the lemocratic partyr' "I have no idea that his nomination could he brought about by such agency. J have none but kind feelings for Grant, but his nomination by the co-oieration of the Demokratie party is so entirely out of the question that 1 tlo not believe Jie can entertain such a thought. Both encral Orai.t and the Democratic party would be incalculably injured by such an unnatural alliance." "What about the divisions; in the Itepub licati party in this State'."' "I think that they are wide and deep and can not be healed over. Tin? divisions grew from tliricrences of principles; and purposes as well as from controversies about orlices and power. The adherence of great numbers; to the Republican organization is nn-

naiurai, anil can not be lasting. They uo nt agree with its principles or its purr mscs. They will gradually desert from its ranks. They can ' not follow the lead of Mr. (Jarfield in favor of the centralization of power aim tne usurpations ot the (ieneral Government, The passions and prejudices which havejed them into the support of the Kepublican organization are dying out. and they will be compelled by their convictions to withdraw from its ranks.' "H ow should the Democratic campaign in this state be conducted this fall'."' - "It should he" conducted by a firm and temperate discussion of all nnblic ouestions. The principles of the Democratic partv should never be discarded or lost sight of. The principles which underlie the forms and structures of our Government must be kept uppermost in view, for the prosperity of the people, irrespective of party, defends on their maintenance. There must le harmonious action Ixx-al controversies and side contests for power will not only imperil party success, but they will dishearten the eople to whom the party looks for supjKrt. Eroad and liberal views should henceforth characterize the discussion of everv tonic and these discussions should not be marred by any display wliatever of passion and prejudice. I have ilways believed that the Democratic party is most closely allied to the people, and that it more nearly repre sents ineir interests, ami I n.we faith that shall yet see it restored to power in our Na tionai councils. lteecheron Advertising.

If a man has devoted his life and labor to the study of a special class of dis eases, the necessity for his saying so becomes ait tne more pressing. Iiis duty to advertise becomes imperious, "-When I was in England.

Of course I was shocked by it, but in a moment I bethought me if it be all right and dignified to hire a sexton to ring a bell when the minister is going to preach, it is all the same to silence the bell and hire a bill-sticker to tell the same news. The essential thing is to tell the truth every time. The remedy for the lying advertisement is for honest men to tell the truth. When iniquity cometh in like a Hood, then the spirit of the Lord lifts up a standard. A really able man, whatever be his gifts, makes a great mistake if he fails to use those gifts through want of advertising."

As Signor Monti drew near the house he saw Mr. longfcllow standing with his back against the window, his head, of course, out of sight. When he went in, he said. "I look out of the window and bow to that little till w ho wants to sec you very much V ' "A little girl wants to see me verv much where is she."

Dr. Love's tests were made to determine what brands) are the most economical to use. And as their capacity lies in their leavening power, tests were directed .olely to ascertain the available gas of each powder. Dr. Love's report eives the following: "The prices at which "baking powders art sold to consumer I find to be usually fifty cents per pound. I have therefore calculated their relative commercial values ac cording to the volume of gas yielded, on a. basis of fifty cents cost per pound." Comparative worth per pound.

The Methodist ministers of the Springfield District of Massachusetts, in their annual meeting, had a lively two hours' discussion on faith and healing. Several of the clergy men held that prayer was effectual in heal ing the sick, but tlie majority of the speakers believed that such cures were wholly the result ot imagination and will. Rev. Frederick Woods said that it would be as sensible for him to ask God for föO.OOO as for a sick man to pray for restoration to health. His theory was that God did not interfere in temporal matters at all, but only in things concerning tlie soul.
