The result was, that he learned that the
young girl was immensely rich, and with a
sigh he exc aimed.
"Bon! if she had been poor might have
married her; but, as rich as a fairy it is
impossible.
Thereupon he bit. his mousta che and
| went home to pack up his travelling traps.
His trunk packed, he had determined to
put continent between himself and his
bewitcher. The next morning brief note
was handed him to call at the office of a
notary without delay.
"It's probably an engagement to take a
ship to China" thought the sailor as he
went to the notary's.

@Certainly."

1t will be easily believed that the young
man kept bis appointment. He was slight
ly pale and did not dare to question the no.
lary, who opened the conversation.
"Everything is settled, and the banns can
be published tomorrow, if you permit"

The notary rose, and taking the young

ONE MAN LosT TO CUBA.-We were informed
yesterday Of a hostile meeting which took place
on Tuesday morning last at the new canal, near
the terminus of Common street, which had its
origin In circumstances bordering somewhat on
the romantic. #. a.m-..-.. d..
1t appears that about three years ago.
young man who resided in Fayette county, KY
and who for convenience we shall call Hardy,
was deeply smitten by the beauty and many
| accomplishments of charming miss of sixteen.
She had grown up, as it were, under his eye, and
for many years before her childish form ripened
into womanhood, he had determined to make
her his wife. But rival came to disturb his
dreams Of happiness, and, as is frequently the
case, the lady bestowed her affections on the
new lover. He was not acceptable, however,
to pa and ma, and our young miss was married
to Hardy. But she had will Of her own, and
a most determined one, as the sequel proved,
for she had not been wed a month when she
left the matrimonial domicil, and fed to Gin
cnnati with her favored lover
He did not betray the trust she reposed in
him and it is said that they have lived together
as happily as if their union was sanctioned by
laws, human and divine. The lover-husband,
however, lately took fancy to visiting the island
of Cuba--what for is best known to himself
and with that intention arrived here few days
ago. lHe Sdlne adventure WHICH eSClCeu MS
desire for travel had also stimulated some ar
dent spirits in Kentucky, and Hardy was one Of
some half dozen young men who also arrived
here few days ago. The injured husband and
the fortunate lover met, were introduced, recog-
nised one another, and drank julaps together.
But the memory Of Hardy's wrongs ranlled too
deeply for endurance in the presence of his
successful rival, and like brave and generous
man he acknowledged the fact and having de-
clared that one Of them had already lived too
long, proposed that they should determine the
matter of life and death between them by a
hostile meeting The proposition was accepted,
and on Monday evening both parties, with two
friends, drove out on the Shell Road, and Sc
leoted a small opening or glade, on the opposite
side of the canal, for the execution of their
resolve. eais. +" aia.r#"o .@#t "@aE -
Early on Tuesday morning they went to the
appointed spot still accompanied only by two
friends. The weapons were pistols, and when
the ground was measured and each was about
to assume his position, Hardy's opponent adj
vanced to him, and having taken his hand said
that he hoped that similar feelings animated
them both, and, although about to enter into
mortal combat, that there was no malice in the
heart of either Hardy nodded acquiescence to
this sentiment, and each took his stand at the
appointed place. At the first FIRE Hardy re-
ceived q flesh wound in the thigh, but did not
fall, and coolly demanded that the pistols be
reloaded. The seconds demonstrated with him,
but he was determined, and declared that ii
was impossible that he and his opponent could
live, travel, and act together; that they might

A Convention of free people of color is now
in session at Indianapolis, and is occupied in
deliberating upon various matters relating to
the interests of its constituents as class.
There is said to exist among its members a
strong inclination to remove out of the State of
Indiana to some other country, where they hope
to enjoy greater social advantages. After much
debate, a resolution was adopted by large
majority, providing that should the laws of the
State become so oppressive as to be intolerable,
they would recommend their people to emigrate
to Canada, Jamaica, or elsewhere, in preference
to Liberia, against which there appears to be a
violent prejudice in the Convention.
Among the countries spoken of for the pur-
pose Of migration, besides those mentioned, are
Mexico, New Grenada, and Central America !;
but Canada Is generally regarded as most eligi-
BILE, on account Of its accessibility. At last ac-
counts the Convention had under discussion a
resolution somewhat contradictory to that which
had just been passed, as mentioned above. 1t
asserts, in substance, that the free negroes have
q right to remain, if they choose, in the United
States, the land Of their nativity, and it accord
ingly recommends them to stay here and strive
for their moral, social, political, and intellectual
elevation. 1t was expected that the resolution
would be defeated -Erchdnge.

HISTORY OF ALCoHoL.-Alcohol was invented
$50 years ago, by the son of a strange woman,
Hager, in Arabia. Ladies used it with pow
der to paint themselves, that they might ap-
pear more beautiful, and this powder was called
alcohol. During the reign of William and Mary
an act was passed encouraging the manufacture
of spirits. Soon after, intemperance and profit
gacy prevailed to such an extent, that the re-
tailers in intoxicating drinks put up signs in
public places, informing the people that they
might get drunk for penny, and have straw
to lie on.
| In the 10th century, distilled spirits spread
over the continent of Europe. About this tim
it was introduced into the colonies, as the Uni
ted States were then called The first motto
we have of its use in public life was among th
laborers in the Hungarian mines, in the l5tl
century. In 1751 it was used by the English
soldiers as cordial The alcohol in Europe
was made of grapes, and sold in Italy and Spain
as medicine. The Genoese afterwards made
1T from grain, and sold it as medicine in bot
ties, under the name of the water of life.
Until the sixteenth century it had only been
kept by apothecaries as medicine. During
the reign of Henry VII. brandy was unknown
in Ireland, and soon its alarming effects in.
duced the government to pass a law prohibiting
its manufacture.
| About 120 years ago it was used as q bever
age, especially among the soldiers in the Eng
lish colonies in North America, under the pre-
posterous notion that it prevented sickness, and
made men fearless in the field of battle. 1t was
looked upon as sovereign specific.
