How He Came to be Married. The following is a very old story, but one of those peculiar kind, which will bear re-telling. At the request of a friend who'takes delight in'laughing over it twice a year, we give it a place in the paper.—Fz.: It may be funny, but I've dome it. I've got a rib and a baby. Shadows de?mrted'-'moyster stews, brandy cockAails, eigar boxes, boot jacks, abscondifig shirt buttons, whist and demijohn. Shadows present—hoop-skirts, bandboxes, ribbons, garters,?ong stockings, juvenile dresses,tin trumpets, little willow chairs, cradles, bibs, sugar-teats, paregoric, hive syrup, rhubarb, senna, salts, ‘squills and doctor’s bills. I'll tell you how I :got caught. I was always the darndest, tea-custard bashful fellow you ‘ever did see ; “it was kinder in my line to be taken with ‘the shakes every iime I saw a pretty girl approach me, and I'd cross the street at any time rather than face one; ’'twasn’t. because I didn’t like the crifters, for'if I was behind the fence: looking through’ a knot hole, I couldn’t look long enongh. Well, my sister Lib gave a party one night, and 1 started away from home:because I wag too -bashful to face the musig.; I hung around the house whistling *“Old Dan i T'ucker,” - daneing- to keep my feet warm, watching the heads bobbing up'and down behind the window curtaing, and wishing the' thundering party would break up, so I could get to my room. I smoked up a bunch of cigars, and as it was geiting late, and mighty ‘uncomfortable, I concluded .to shin up the door post. No sooner said, than done, and I soon found, myself snng in bed... “Now,” says:ly “let her rip !’ Dance: till your ‘wind gives'out.”’ “And cuddling (g)wn ‘tnder the “quilts, Morpheus grabbed. me, VI (e AVERL BN FZEGUQIVISY OIS iR ‘

celvifes, T will*eaid I,) - o " “] did see ker home, and 'had another smack at thegate. =~ | © After that we took @ kinder turtle dove after each other, both of us sighin’ like a - Ebarrel of cider when we ‘were away from each other. i "T'was at the close of a glorious summer day, the sun was setting be‘hind a distant hen-roest, tkebn‘lzoga ‘“were‘commeneing their evening songs, and pollywogs, in their native mududd‘;ea,' were preparing themselves for dic shuiay of night, and Sal and myself sat upon ‘an antiquated backlog, listening to the. musie of nature, ‘such as tree-toads, roosters and grunting pigs; and now and then the music of a jackass was wafted to our ears by the gentle zephyrs that sighed among the mullenstalks, and heavily laden with the delicions odors of hen-roosts and pig-styes. The last lingering rays of the setting sun, glancing from the buttons of a solitary hors:man, shone through a_knot-hole in. a Hog-' _pen, full in Sal’s face, dying her hair an orange peel hue, and showing off my: thread-bare coat toa bad advantage; one of my arms was around. Sal’s waist, my hand resting on the small of her back ; she was toying with ‘my auburn locks of jet hlack hue ; she was almost gone, and I was ‘almost-ditto. ‘She looked ug like a grasshopper dying with the hiccups, and. I felt like a mud-turtle ‘choked with a codfish ball. 7 “Sal,” says I, in a voice as musical as the notes of 4 dying swan, “will you have met?; ~ ke She raised her eyes heavenward, and clasped me by the hand, had an attack of heaves and blind staggers, and with a sigh that drew her shoestrings to her palate, said, “Yes.” She gave clear out then and droppedin‘mylap. I hugged her till I brokeé my sdspenders, and her breath smelt’ of onions she had eaten two weeks before,

Well; to make along story short, she set the day, and we practiced for four weeks every night how we would enter the room to be married, till we got 80 we c(:?i_!d' walk as (giracefully a 8 a couple of Muspgovy ducks. The night the company and the minister came, the signal was given, and arin in.arm we went through the hall.— We was just entering the parlor door, when down I went kerslap on the oil cloth, pulling Sal after me. Some cussed fellow had dropped a banana skin on the floor and it floored me. It split an awful hole in my cassimeres, right under my dress coat tail. It was too laie to back out; so clasping my hand over it, we marched inand were . spliced, and ‘taking . a seat, I -watched the kiss-the-bride: ioperation. My groomsman ' was tight, and he kissed her till I jumped' up to take a slice, when, oh, horror! a little six year old imp had crawled behind me and pulled my shirt through the hole in my pants, and = pinned it to the chair, g 0 that when I jumped up I displayed to the astonished multitude a trifle ‘'mdre white muslin than was pleasant. The women giggled, " the men roared, and I got mad, buf was finally put to bed, and there my troubles bn{'éﬂ, . Good night., ..

What Nerve Does. | ‘An ounce of pluck is worth a regiment of liésitating men. A little nerve, coolness, pluck, and decision have carried men gsafely through difficulties insurmountable.. In jall probability no persan’ possesses nerve toa greater degree than: do bank robbers and pergons of that eclass, who live ‘not by their labor but by'their wits, and operations which succéed from boldness. Not long since, a man atood in a Wall sireet bank, . with a- bag in his hand containing slo,ooo.in gold. , Aigentlemanly looking man, with his-hat off, said to..the one who held the gold: “Let me heft it ; I'll gness within half an ounee of its weight.” The person “gddresged mechanieally ‘handed’ the bag to ‘the applicant, who at once ran ‘out doors and was soon lost in the crowd, while, the loger never saw tt again.. Onseeing himi with his hat off -he thought-him & clerk in the bank. ‘A'igentlémanstanding by saw the thief remove his hat'and hang it on a hook, ;when he too supposed him to be some ‘one connected with the bank, and said nothing. . Some years since a person entered the Importers’: and T'ra.ders’ Bank, in New York, in . broad - daylight, took. off his coat, put ‘ona duster;stuck & pen hehind his ear, and | then walked deliberate?- past clerks, tellers, and ecaghier, #nd pushing the president ; aside,” who - stoed talking with some.of the directors, entered the vaultand helped. himself to the largest package of money he could find, and walked out unmolested, ho one sus‘{Eg‘.cfiﬁg;ﬁmtf anything was wrong ’till he was off and out of sight. .

The Chinese Invasion—What is to be ; dome withi¢ .~ The Metropolitan Record is alarmed at the wholesale irruption of the ‘heathen Chinede not ouly in California, but all along the line of the Pacific Railroad, as it the Mississippi Valley was to be the objective point. The editor says: - : _*California swarms with Chinese, and joss houses boldly affront Christain eyes in a Christian land. That the influx of an inferior race is likely to ereate trouble some day, is apparent to the most indifferent or most obtuse observer. There are men, philosophers,- socalled, who would have us believe that the Caucasian race would be all the better for a little African or Chinese alloy, but they can’t get that idea into the head of a man unperverted by isms. ;

The- paramount question for this country both in the present and future, is the v?eétion of race; for us ethnol_ogy is the most important of all ologiest It would be wrong to conclude that we, on the Atlantic seaboard, have no personal interest in this question; because our emigrants are of the mas-ter-race of the world, and that effects exclusively our fellow-citizens beyond the Rocky Mountains, who must bear the brunt and take the consequence of the industrial invasion rolling continuously from the shores of the Central Kingdom. Of course it will effect them more néarly and more immediately; but it will affect usin a long run. 1f the white race is decbased by the admixture of an inferior race, or if white labor is injured by ruinous competition with -laborers: whose wants are few, and whose wages are measured by them, will we not feelit? Will it not react upon us? 'Will it not lower the status and lessen the remuneration of every workingman inthe land, from Maine to California? Pride of race is to an aggregation of men_bwhat a sense of personal honor is to the individual man. Bréak down the first, and the people or commuuity are on the inelined plain that leads, to mongrelism; break down the secoud, and the man is not worth a rush. i

But for universal suffrage, this question of Chinese Emigration would not be so serious. It is that which makes the iuflux of Celestials so alarming ; it is that which makes the problem of utilizing an ' inferior race, by locating them among a superior one, so difficult of solution. ‘ ;

A Strange Lunatic--He Faneies Him, self the Supreme Being, and Imagines that he has n Misson te Kill his | Wife and Children. - We have already briefly alluded to the case of Mr. James Van Housen, who is deranged apparently from religious ' excitement. On a recent visit we found him laboring under apparently great excitement, and manifesting a great repugnance to the presence of those who had formerly been his most cherished friends, accusing them of being demons, evil spirits, and deadly enemies of his. The supposed dereliction of his friends appeared to cause him great grief, and his''eyes were rarely free from tears, which gometimes streamed down his cheeks in torrents. In his apparently calmer moments he stated that he was God, that his voice was the voice of God, and he warned those of his friends that he permitted to apgoach him to repent of their sins.— e also asserted that he wus a medium’; that he could see spirits all around the bystanders, good spirits around some and evil spirits around others.

The Specific Appropriation Bille=aiDes cision of the Supreme Court. We understand that it has been stated in some parts of the State that Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks was consulted by the parties urging the payments upon the specific appropriation bill, and gave counsel in relation te proceedings to compel the payments. Such statements are not correct. His advice'in that direction was neither sought nor given. On the contrary, he proposed to aid in the argument in the Supreme Court upon the other side, and did not take a part therein, because it was suggested that the par‘ties resisting payment wished to avoidthe appearance of an%vpolitieal“ influ- | ‘ences in the case. ‘We understand that he believed the officers were right in refusing the payments, for the rea--gon that the bill was not passed in ac.cordance with the _reci),xir_ements:of the. - Constitution, and did. not become a law.—lndianapolis Sentinel. ~ : ~ However ready such men as Judge i Perkins may be to lend their legal tal--ent in. giving validity to a notoriously‘unconstitutional law, contrary to their ‘personal convictions, Indiana’s greatest ‘gmwmﬁnfthe Hon.

~ OUR NEW MINISTER TO SPAIN. . Among the many unwise and ridicu‘lous acts of President Grant is..the appointment of Daniel E. Sickles, Minister to Spain. The public eareer of this man, so generally ‘known, is as annoying to the people as his private acts and dealings are infamous and disgraceful. To send such a man ona mission to the proudest and most punctillious nation in the Old World, betrays a corruption on the part of the appointing power, which .should cause the whole' Radical party to blush, if, indeed, it were not pest the melting mood. ) ‘ _ The shoddyites and Jenkins, of the sensational turn in New York, tendered the new Minister a public reception ; and, as a matter of course, he accepted. The World, in suticipation of the event, gave a biographical sketch of Bickles, noting his career as a rowdy, mail-robber, spy, politician, murderer, confidence-man, general satrap, etc. It also stated that Sickles presented a noble instance of the success of a scoundrel in American politics, and recites, in eight closely printed col umns, the crimes of which this appoiuntee of Grant has been guilty. It appears from a mere lad he was a scoundrel. For instance, it is related that Mr. Peter Cooper took a fancy to the youth, and proposed sending him to Princeton College, where he was to be educated for the ministry in the Presbyterian Church; that while basking in the venerable Mr. Cooper’s favor he was intrusted by his patron with the sum of $lOO wherewith to trapsact some business ; that Sickles appropyiated the money; and that when the t:. neaction was exposed, Mr. Cooper cast him out of his favor forthwith.

1n 1837 he was indicted for obtaining money under false pretenses, and a few yeais later an order was made by the same court requiring Sickles to show cause why he should not be prosccuted for misappropriating funds belonging o one Moore; | ;

-On November 20th, 1846, Sickles was indicted for grand larceny of goods from Wm. Kemble. - December 11th, 1846, the trial of Daniel E. Sickles for grand larceny came off in the Comt of General Sessions, at New York. = 24« ¢rial * ~tzd Jor threz days. ; e ~ Iu one case, in the eapacity of a law yer, he betrayed the confidence of his client, stealing a mortgage on premises No. 79 Nassau street, giving it to parties as collateral security. In all these cases he was screened from the penalty of the law by the same rowdy clansmen who elected him to office, and who ‘shared with him the results of hisscoundrelism; i

He wasa neaed» habitue of houses of ill-fame, and, when he was Secretaiy.of Legation, went so fur as to take with him his mistress, a Mercer strect demirep, to Londen, capping the climax of his indecencies by introducing her to one of the Queen’s drawing-room receptions as a distinguished lady by the name of Bennett. Thisraused the ire of a'well-known journalist, and eulminated in a bitter attack upon Sickles in the Herald, and it was this which led to the libel svit between Sickles and Bennett. = 1 - Sickles in due course of time tr ued up in Congress, and here he was d'stinguished for nothing but the brutal mur der of Philip Barton Key, the eirermstances of which are familiartoall.

His military career was a series of blunders, and for this, anda life of cor; ruption and iniquity, he is rewarded by General Grant with a mission to Spain, If the.appointment of Ashley wasan outrage, the appointment of Sickles passeth all ynderstanding, unless old Belzebub and his imps are ju collusion with the President to ruin, overtbrow and djsgrace/the conntry. ‘ : |
