A MARRIAGE BY TELEGRAPH.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia inquirer tells The following
story:
There is story current here among the
supper len,n which if true, is one of the
most extraordinary occurrences that ever
took place, and throws all the noveIs:s OF
the present age entirely in the shade. Ii ap
pears that certain young lady, the daugh.
ter of one of the wealthiest merchants in
Boston, had -lotmed an attachment for a
handsome young man, who was a clerk in
her fathers counting room, and had deiel-
mined 10 have him for better or worse, al
though her father had previously given her
hand to another sutton.
The ady's father having heard Of this at
tachment, feigned ignorance, but determined
TO break it off, and give his daughter TO the
gentleman he had promised her. For this
purpose he directed the young man 10 take
passage in one of the steamers that left
New York and proceed TO England, and
transact some business for him there. The
lover accordingly came 10 New York, but
meantime, the young lady got some knowl-
edge of her fathers Intentions, and sent a
message by telegraph to that effect to her
lover in New York
The expedient the two lovers resorted-io
for accomplishing their desire, and defeating
the fathers views was novel and exlraord-
nary. She took her stand in the telegraph
c Office in Boston, and he did the same,
with magistrate, in the office in New York
and with the aid of the lightning, they were
made bone of one bone and flesh of one
flesh. This is certainly applying this nven-
lion TO purpose never contemplated by Pro-
fessor Morse, and exhibits great deal Of
ingenuity.
A few days since, the lady's father insist
eo upon her marriage with the gentleman
he had selected for her, and as might be ex-
pected, he was amazed when she told him
she was already the wife OF Mr.. B and Mr.
B. followed his employers directions and
went in the steamer to England. The mer-
chant, have heard, is taking measures to
contest the validity OF the marriage.

OFFICE SEEKERS IN WASHINGTON

OFFICE SEEKERS IN WAsHINGToN.-A
letter TO the Philadelphia Inquirer says:
This morning, having business at seVera
OF the Executive Departments, l saw a
small army Of gentlemen office seekers
waiting at the doors of the private rooms. o.
the Secretaries. On the countenances oil
many hope was at fearful discount. One
applicant, who, when be came here at The
commencement of the session, expected
nothing less than chief clerkship, has now
expressed his willingness to accept the stu
alton of even a messenger. How much
better would it be 10 tell these silly appl-
canls al once that there is no chance for
them. They would then return 10 their
homes with whole coats upon their backs
The Secretaries are, however, too polite thus
10 shock mans feelings. They give from
time to time evasive answers, until the poor
wretch gets place either in the poor house
or the insane asylum.

A DILEMMA The New York Courie

says
instructions were yesterday received from
Washington, directing the collector of Gus
toms at tbs port TO pay over all the money!
he may receive TO the treasurer of the port,
and the Sub-Treasury law makes it highly
criminal offence, punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment, to decline or refuse TO do so.
On the other hand it is not yet known
whether ex Governor Bouck will accept the
Office ;and even if he does, he is not mere now
and cannot therefore receive the money.
Collector Lawrence is thus in dilemma
He is punishable by the Su5-Treasury law,
which is very explicit upon The point, if he
fails 10 pay it over and yet there is nobody
for him 10 pay it to! Under these circum-
stances, we presume he will do as hereto
lore, andIdeposte the money in the banks for
safe keeping But what admirable manage
ment our new 6nancer exhibit.

EFFECT OF LIFE IN PARIS.

In Gallignani's new Paris Guide, we find
the following statement, which may supply
matter for medical as we'll as moral specu-
lation. If the facts be as here stated, it is
important 10 inquire whether they be found
similar in other large cities, and what. can
be the cause or causes of such result q.
at has been remarked that families con-
stantly residing in Paris soon become ex-
tinct, and thai out of the whole population
of the town. there are perhaps moi more
than 700 individuals who can reckon on
their ancestors as inhabitants of Paris, from
father to son, SO for back as the reign of
Louis XIII. The effects of this mortality
are observed to be more active upon males
than females A Partisan youth of the
second or third generation has almost the
form and manners of woman He has
seldom any children that live, and hence it
may be inferred that all families which,
whether from taste or necessity, pass their
lives in town residence or a shop, are irre-
vocabiy doomed 10 ultimate extinction
Those that pass the summer in the country
last longer than the others, as may be seen
In the case OF some ancient noble families
that have nolbeen established in the capital
more than century The class of the no.
bles has, however, become much weakened
since they have given up inhabiting their
castles and manors; and the massive archi
lecture of the hotels OF the Faubourg ST.
German no longer correspond to the dimin-
lshed stature Of their inhabitants"
