MARRIED BY CHANCE.-The Count de
~ lived in a state of single and in
dependent blsssedness. He was vet
young, very rich, and surrounded BY er-
srything that could give enjoyment 10 life
except . wife. He had frequently
thought OF becoming husband, but had
always declared Oft before the knot wa.
tied. Once, however, he found himself
very near committing the folly of matri-
mony. A young person the daughter of
one of his friends, pleased him-her for
tune pleased him not less, perhaps, than
her person and accomplishments, and
there were other reasons of convenience,
&c, to justify the union.
The count, who had so frequently made
the first step towards natrimonv, but as
frequently drew back, had not vet decided
upon the course he should adopt in this
case he had promised the friends of the
lady repeatedly, but made no outward
sign of performance. His future mother,
however, knowing his weakness in this
respect, resolved to bring matters to . ter
mlnatlou, and therefore demanded of the
count whether he would not marry her
daughter, and requested an immediate 70
ply The count found himself in a state
OF great embarrassment. At this moment
his fears and hesitation returned with
more force than svsr-hs trembled at the
consequences.
To give up his cherished habits ofbaeb-
slorhood he found was hard-it was al
most impossible to abandon them. In
this emergency he resolved to appeal to
chance. He wrote two letter,-in the
one he accepted the hand of the lady, in
the other refused it. He then put them
in hat, and called his servant.
" Take ono of these letters" he ..;d
and carry it to the Chateau de-
(Which, sir 90

The servant chose the latter. The

CHILDREN LOST. Thomas J Clements was
arrested on Saturday, on complaint Of MIS-.
Best, who states that in the summer Of 1896 having
occasion to go 10 New Orleans, she left two children
in this city under his care; tina, for three or four
years she heard from them occasionally, but that
sometime after, although she had written Frequently,
she could obtain no information of them or their
whereabouts from Clements, although during the
whole time she had continued sending him money
for the board of the children. Alarmed for the
safety of her children who are both gils, one
about eleven and the other thirteen years of age,
size came to this city about two years ago, and after
long search found Clements, who was living at
Thompsonyille, Conn Clemens stated that he was
forced by his embarrassed circumstances to place the
children at the Aims House. INT expressed his vii.
lngness to aid the distracted mother in finding them.
They both came to New York, on Saturday
when Clements was arrested. 1t lis supposed that
he knows more Of the whereabouts of the children
than he swilng TO acknowledge Y. Eucning

- We refer intending Californian emgrants to
the advertisement of E. R. Fiske, clerk in this office,
who has received an agency from respectable mer-
camille house in Boston, TO dispose of passages in
their ships to California. These vessels sail from
Boston, and land their passengers at San Francisco.
The difficulties, enormous expense, and dishearten-
ing delays of the intermediate journey between Cha
gres and Panama, are avoided by the passage round
Cape Horn. On account of the uncertainty Of meeting
with conveyance from Chagres and Panama, at the
present time, those going round the Horn will be
quite likely to arrive San Francisco as soon as by
the other route.

WHAT Sort OF A PRESIDENT THE SOUTH
DON'T WANT.-Designing men, approaching
the magic spell which the name Of liberty exerts
upon the popular mind of America, are seizing
upon this question as hobby upon which to ride
into the chief magistracy. Men of enlarged sym
pathies and worldwide philanthropy, or, in lruer
terms mad-cap propagandists-su as William
IL. Seward and Lewis Cass-are doing their ut
most to raise a popular clamor for the oppressed
Of all nations hoping in the storm popular en-
thusiasm, 10 place themselves into power. We
want no man in the Presidential chair whose ex-
tended republican sympathies would involve US in
crusade for liberty around the globe. Heaven
deliver US from the vagaries of wild knlght-er-
rantry. Every element of Southern civilization is
opposed to it-every hope of future prosperity7is
jeoparded by it, Columbus Cay Sentinel.
This, of course, is fatal to Webster since his
speech in favor of Hungary.
