THE BRIDE AND THE MARRIAGE.

The London correspondent Ot the EOS-
ton Post, who has seen Mademoisclle Mon
t.go, gives what that paper saysis true des.
c.iption of her personal appearance, as fol-.
lows, in which he represents her in much
more favorable light than some other &C.
counts have done:
To those who remember the Duchess Of
Teba, as she appeared during her visits to
the great exhibition of 1851, it will not he
ncomprehcnsible how the Emperor Of France
has consented that she should share his
throne. She is certainly one of the most
beautiful women of her time. Below the
Medium height of ladies in the United States,
she possesses, nevertheless, that perfect SYM
mctry of person which makes her appear
taller than size really is Her feet and ankles
are of perfect mould her carriage is grace
fn; her head finely set upon her shoulders,
and her face intellectual and emincutly beau
lilul. She has the black hair, pcncilled
brows and lustrous dark eye of the Spanish
women, with the clear, brilliant comp plexion
of northern latitude; and her neck and
breast would furnish model for the sculp-
to-. Her mind is said to he highly cultiva-
ted, and her powers Of conversation fitted to
second her personal ATTRACTIONS. That she
has great scl,.respcct is evidenced by her
whole course since the incinations of Louis
Napoleon were apparent to her. She has
never been seen in public in lis company
has, apparently, discouraged his attentions:
was not at the ball at the Tuilleries on Sat-
urday night, which was supposed to be given
in her honor, aud declines now appearing in
society until after the solcmnizaton of the
marriage. The civil part of the ceremony
will take place on Saturday of this week at
the Tuilleries, and the religious ceremonies
the next day at Notre Dame. The prepara-
tions for the latter are to be magnificent.
The high altar is to he brought forward;
the portion of the church round it to be
brilliantly ornamentcd and lighted; Il snpcrb
canopy 10 be suspended over il; the galleries
to be hung with crimson velvet, and seats
for public iunctonaries, in form of an am
philhcatre, to be erected all over the vast
nave of the cathedral.

FRANKLIN AND THE BAB.BER.

On Doctor FranklIi's arrival at Paris, as
Plrnipotentiary fronHfe United States, du.
ring the Rcvolutiona,th the king expressed a
wish to see him Immediately. AS there was
no goinr to the CeGst of France in those
days, without permission of the wi g.maker,
wig.makcr Of cousse was sent for.
In an rstant ricltS dressed Monsieur, his
arms fnIded in pf6digiuus mntf of furs,
and long sword bysais side, made his ap-
pcarance. 1t was ,baking's wigmakcr, with
his servant in a livery, long sword by his
side too, and a-loadsof sweet scntrd band
boxes, full of /" de wig" as he said "d de su-
perb wig for de greaFDocteer franklin"
One of the wigs WIS tried on-a void
too small! Band.bos after handbook Was
tried hut al with tIIe same il-succcss.
The wigmaker, felE5nto the most violent
rage, to the extreme5hortifcation OF Frank
lin, that gcntemanSso dedeckcd with silks
and perfumes, should, notwithstanding, be
such child Presently, however, as in all
the transports of isgrand discovery, the
wigmaksr cried ont Eat he knew where the
fault lay" not in hissswig rs too small; @
no lis wig no too small; but de docteer's
head too hig, greaIdeal too big
Franklin. smiling, ,sreplied that the fault
could hardly lie theriE; for that his head was
made by God Almighty himself, who was
not subject to err.
Upon this the wi5spaker took in little;
but still conended ttat there must must be
something the matter@ith Doctor Frauklin's
head 1t was at anHrate; " out of de fash.
ion" He begged Dr.Franklin would only
"plcase for remember, dat his head had not
de honneer to be maze in Parree. No! for
i been made in PaTgee, it no bin more dan
half such a head. None of the French no.
hlesse, Lad head ans ting like his. Not de
great Duke D'Orlea!Hs nor de grand mon
arch himself had haa 6 such a head as Doc.
tcer Franklin. Andahc did not sec, he said,
what business any boly had wild head more
big Tan de head of Dc grand monarch"
Pleased to see theSBoor wignaker recover
his good hunor, Dr!gFranklin could not find
it in his heart tn nntS rhnrk t"l::~ ~i.:.:':-;I-

TonAcco.-Dr. J. c. Warren, Of Boston,
one Of the most eminent men in this coun-
try, says that tobacco, used in the way ol
masticarion, is slow poison, which, if tt
were administered by another person, would
deserve and receive retribution from the
laws of the land" After stating the injnri-
o"s effects Of smoking, as well us chewing
this powerful vegetable poison" he adds:
These statements are not exaggerated,
but the result of many years experience
and observation; so that when Il young
man applies to me for a cure of pain in the
chest and symptoms of Dyspepsia, | feel it

MYSTERIOUS DlsArpEARANcE.-A poor
Englishman of the name of Featherstonanc,
Il cabinet maker by trade, who has been
living for the last two years in the vicinity
It is believed, of Spartanburg, arrived in thi;
city about two months since, sick and destl-
,ute of the means of support, when having
made his condition known, a few friends pro-
vded for his necessities. On the lst instant,
however, he left his boarding house after
breakfast and has not been heard OF since.
1t is known that he had no means to travel,
and that he was too nfrm to engage in any
employment, and it is therefore feared that
some serious accident has happened to him.
Any information respecting him will be
thankfully received by Mr. Is. Johnson, King
Street. Our cotempararies i'll this State
will also confer by giving publicity to the

"A late number of the Philadelphia Sun,
says that on Thursday, the train Of passen-

the front of the Tuscarora mountain, a short
distance above Mi!lerstown, Perry county,
ran over large wild cat, breaking three OF
its legs, and preventing its escape. After
daylight the animal was found aud secured.
The cat had doubtless been drinking ou. OF
the Juniata river, when, frightened by the
fast coming train, it attempted to retreat to
the mountain, and was caught on the rail-
road track.
