A MARRIAGE AT WLLARDs.-A marriage,
though very common, is an important event,
and therefore, everybody and all his and her
relations are 'a-glee,' when one takes place.
Let it be private or public, the old and the
young bosom dances with delight on witness
ing the interesting ceremony, which makes
: two willing hearts one.' Well, there was q
marriage last night at Wizards Hotel, and
all we're agog in the house who knew of the
fact. What makes it more interesting, it
was a runaway match, to use old-fashioned
p~arlance before people got married by steam.
1t appears that a Col. B. w. Wick, of Mary
land, became enamored Of a charming lady
of the same noble State, (Miss Eudora Hig-
gins and finding he could not make her his
own at home, owing to one of the usual causes
of objection doubtless, he brought her to the
good city of Washington, where the knot was
tied as before mentioned.
But there was one thing worthy of imitation
in the gallant ColonePs arrangements, which
proves that he will make a 'provident hus
band What do you think it was, ladies
Why, he brought has oton pastor along, fear
ing, probably, that he might not get one here
That gentleman was the Rev. A. +. N. Rolfe
OF North Carolina, who performed his duty
in a most solemn and appropriate Manner
The interesting sister of the bride was tn
bridesmaid. They returned to MARYLAND
again this morning, happy as turtle doves.
May they ever remain SO.
Though fools spurn Hymen's gentle powers,
We, who improve his golden hours,
By sweet experience know
} That marriage, rightly understood,
!. Gives TO the tender and the good,
A Paradise below.

Fromthe Paris Correspondence ofthe N. Y. Leader.
PARIS, Aug. 25th, 1854.-No little dissat-
isfaction has been felt at the discovery, some
weeks since, that the American consul in
Paris, absent upon a tour in Italy, had left
behind him an engraved fac simile to his
signature, to be stamped upon documents
brought to the Office, for Equalization and rati-
fcation. The clerk, following his ~instruc-
tons, can stamp the c%onsul's name upon all
papers presented, except upon deeds trans
ferring real estate, to which he declined APP
pending the die. | am aware that legations
are in the habit of thus stamping passports,
in order to save time, but it is q very different
thing to leave q fac smile to do consular
duty, when the consul is absent in Italy,
The Stamp is so admirably done that it is
impossible to distinguish it from a genuine
signature, and as it bears all the marks of
authenticity, it is not supposed that any valid
ton, however, whether the existence of the
fac-simile which would render a document
void, were it discovered, does not actually
render even the genuine ones void, from the
fact that the one cannot be distinguished
from the other. This is matter ofimportance
and it ought to be decided at once whethe-
papers involving interests, and bearing tn,
arms of the United States are valid, with til,
stamped imitation of an absent ~consul's sig
nature.
The Washington Star says there is moth
ing unusual in our ConsuPs course, it bein!
, a customary thing.

THE CRoPs-AGA1N.-It is abouttime (says
the st. Louis Republican, that the foolish, if
not in some cases the knavish, croaking in
regard to the crops should have an end. The
whole country has been excited to believe
that a short crop would be sure to follow the
very severe drought which has been experien-
ced in most portions of the country. 1t does
not seem to have been considered that, in
the great variety of soil and climate of the
United States, it is absolutely impossible that
such q thing as a general failure of the grain
crop should take place. Some localities, it is
admitted, have not produced so we'll as usual;
others have produced only half a crop but
there are others which have rewarded the
farmer nobly. When it is considered a large
amount of new land is invariably brought
into cultivation that there is likely to be no
demand for our breadstufs in Europe for
many months to come that the most impor-
tant cereals, wheat and oats, were unusual
ly prolific and good in quality, it ought to
satisfy every one that no such thing as famine
or extraordinary demand for agricultural
products could be experienced in this coun-
try. This year the wheat and oat crops
are the most abundant of any ever grown in
the United States, and there is an abundance
for home consumption and exportation.-
The demand on European account, however,
will be next to nothing; and when these
things are considered, it shows the folly of
the panic which-it has been attempted to
originate. The corn crop, it is now admit
ted, will be better than was hoped Tor at
one time, and, as there is yet a large amount
os old corn on hand, we should like to see
how some of our people arrive at their cal
~culation that a famine is threatening u.s.
There is no truth in it; certainly the fact is
J not yet ascertained and, although the price:
may rule higher than in former years, thu
supply will be found quite adequate to the
demand.

The Stomach prepares the elements of the bile

As soon, therefore, as any affection of the liver is

to administer a specific which will act directly up
