that OF our worthy Consul When in the ante
room, the usher perceiving portly gentleman in a
neat suit of black, or, if you please, in eitizens
dress," ran up to Mr. ST. George, the French Minis
ter to know who that was, without the usual gar
ments prescribed by custom and etiquette. Before
this, however, he had been examining him from
head to foot. Mr.. ST. George politely replied, that
he belonged to the suite of the American minister
Chen Mr.. Schenck > to whom Immediately the
usher went and demanded pardon, stating his ig-

her large mild black eyes upon him, with mischie-

THE "INcIDEET AT THE NAVY DEPARTMENT
In justice to the parties concerned, we copy the
following from the Philadelphia Ledger:
"a statement copied from the Petersburg Demo-
crat, appeared in the Ledger of the 18th instant,
stating that lieutenant of the navy had been or
dered home from the Pacific in consequence OF a
report that he had perpetrated fraudulent mar
rage with highly respectable lady OF Washington.
This statement is entirely erroneous.
The gentleman alluded to was privately married,
because it is understood, objections had been
made to the match. He took leave of his bride the
day alter marriage, leaving her proper authority
for receiving his haifpay, and permission to an
nounce the marriage whenever she might deem it
expedient He is one of the most efficient and cor
rect officers in the navy IN all respects"

We invite attention to the reply of the
President of the Central Railroad to the arti-
Gle of "Henrico.' 1t is well that the charge
against the Company was made public by
@'Henrico," since it affords an opportunity to
make equally public its vindication. 1t is
very strange indeed, that the expenditure on
account of the relaying Of track and construc-
ton should be set down to the account of or.
binary expenses; and the President COM
pletely vindicates the Company from such
a statement of its affairs.
