The TRUE REMEpy:-Instead of blood and
thunder, and blustersthe people of the South ought
to adopt the remedy suggested by a Southern man
who declares he isneither disuuioniist nor SECESSION
III. He truly says:
ssThe remedy for past and present aggressions
consists IN the speedy creation Of home manufac-
lures and home industry-fhe establishment of d.
rect inportations-the patronage of Southern me-
chanics, Southern schools and colleges, and South
ern men who are sound, whether they be native
or adopted citizens,
This is genuine Wing doctrine, and it is practical
common sense. 4

EXTRAORDINARY MARR1AeEs.-The follow
ing extraordinary occurrence took place in Lon
IONA gentleman, a widower, left with three
sons, became acquainted with a widow lady who
had three daughters. The lady and gentleman
married, and with the children of the two fami-
lies lived together for ten years. During the
last six weeks the sons and daughters were
married to each other, and what is more singu-
lar, the eldest son married the eldest daughter,
and the others in the same manner.

Because neither Of them are satisfied with a

Experience is a torch, lighted in the ashes of
our illusions.

take to kill Time, when the old fellow is quietly
killing them.

so, its revelations must be a string of the most ex-
citing ups-and-downs, which cannot fail to make a
great noise in all circles.

Priests ofthe order of Jesus, or "Jesuits,' in the

STRANGE PHENoMESos.-An English brig,
the Ellen Anne, was lately struck by a meteoric
stone while in the British Channel. The re-
port was like amusket charge, and the planking
Of the deck was torn up and perforated in sew
eral places as if by musket shots. No signs
of a thunder storm were to be seen or heard,
though the day was dull and lowering, with a
fresh breeze. The occurrence is said to be very
rare in the British Channel, though frequent up
the Mediterranean.

D~IFFERENcEN TIME-When it is noon in New

Baltimore, as there is a difference Of an hour for
every fifteen degrees Of longitude. Hence a tel

New Orleans at II o'clock, A. NJ, being an hour

The DoGs.-An exchange paper says that the
number OF dogs in the United States is computed at
three and a half millions, and that the expense of
keeping them is equal to that of keeping twenty
millions of sheep, or two millions of cows. We
think the cost of keeping the dogs is overstated-
unless the writer intends to include all the puppies,
and that would make the estimate a good deal
too small. The current cost of supporting these
animals is immense while the "%returns'' are moth
ing but Incidence, impudence and imperials.

recorded that a bearded woman was taken by
the Russians, at the battle of Pultowa, and pre-
sented to the ear, Peter the First, 1928; her
beard measured a yard and a half. A woman
is said, also to have been seen in Paris with a
bushy beard. The great Margaret, governess
of the Netherlands, had a very stiff beard. In
Bavaria, in the time of Wolfus,a virgin had a
long black beard. Our observation has led US
to conclude that in fenny, swampy ground, it
often happenes that our fair ones are ordered
with boards. Several bearded ladies' NAV be
met with in Lincolnshire, England, and in Hol-
land.
