How JULIA DEAN WAS CoURTED.-It seems
there was slight tinge Of romance attending
the wooing and marriage of this young actress.
According to the New York Courier, Miss Dean,
two years ago, played an engagement in Charles
ton, S. c., from which she realized six thousand
dollars, and was complimented by some Of her adj
mrers with splendid head dress, valued at 81 500.
Among the committee of presentation was young
DR.. Hayne, son of Senator Hayne. Dr. Hayne
then became personally acquainted with Miss Dean,
and mutual feeling Of admiration awakened, which
has resulted in the marriage. DR.. Hayne was
twenty-sx years old. He is not man Of wealth.
His mother, on his coming of age, gave him some
thing to speculate with but his speculations did
not turn out well. His meeting with Julia in New
Orleans was apparently accidental, as he was on
his way to Texas, and he went to Galveston in the
same ship with her and her father, and put up at
the same hotel On Sunday, as old Dean sat smok-
ing his cigar on the piazza after dinner Julia sud-
denly appeared before him, accompanied by DR..
Hayne, and little drama ensued. They expressed
desire to be married and asked his consent, which
was instantly and freely given. A carriage was
called and the fair julia accompanied by her father
the captain Of the steamer in which they came to
Galveston, the landlord of the Fremont House,
Julia's dressing maid, and the bridegroom, pro-
ceeded to the clergyman's house, where the nup-
tial knot was tied.

MApEMo1sELLE DoUDET.-The Emperor's de-
parture for the Crimea has occupied Partisan
curiosity, l was going to say exclusively, but
forgot-with true French versatility The
popular mind has found room for another matter
besides the absence of their Emperor. This is
the trial of one Mile Doudet, French govern
ness, for having caused the death of one, and
cruelty treated five children, committed to her
tender mercies by their father, an Englishman;
the same father having allowed her to bring the
children off with her from London to Paris,
after an acquaintance of two months, because it
appears to have suited his convenience to have
them out of the way, while he sought a new
matrimonial alliance. The names of all sorts
of persons have been mixed up with this trial,
even that of the Queen of England, in whose
household Mile Doudet once occupied q subor-
dinate situation. The details of the proceedings
are frequently of the most disgusting and filthy
condition, revolving to humanity, and showing,
fearfully, how vice and immortality have crept
into the innocent family CIRCLE n picture of
five wretched, and, fear vicious children, got
rid of anyhow by their parent, horribly ill-used
by a creature half wretch, half fool, and
now the whole scene of profigacy paraded be-
fore the eye, and distributed to the itching ears
of public always greedy for such exposures.
The matter is too long, even were it fit, to
dwell upon; and only allude toit as being one
which has gone side by side, in every saloon,
with the journey to the Crimea; SO that it is
hard to say which has carried the day, Louis
Napoleon or NH Doudet.

SIMPK1Ns ON BABIES" Our esteemed friend
simpkins," thus agonizes over "fat babies"
He is evidently seriously meditating the idea Of
going into the business" Listen at him:
Who does not love fat baby ?-ohe of the
real chubby kind-so fat that it can hardly see
out of its eyes? We have frequently watched
one of these human d1nplings for hours, and
been pleased to mark how good naturally they
always take things. If they roll over or fall
down, it is all the same If the nurse steals
their tafy, or the large boy hooks the doll,
littls fatty rolls up his eyes, looks curious,
funny, and generally laughs. 1t can't cry!'
The nearest approach to it is suppressed
whimper, which starts the tears and the grease
at the same time; and when lamentations pro-
duce perspiration, the labor is too serious to be
long continued. How docile is that fat baby.
Obesity is never obstreperous. If there be any
doubt on this point we ask triumphantly
Daniel Lambert ever accused of pugilstic pro
pensities or was a fat baby ever known to mt
its mother over the head with poker! Ne
are decided advocate Of fat babies and we
would like to see all the little sinners as obese
as coons in corn time. There is one down in
Florida, it is said, which weighs forty five
pounds. and it is not yet ten months old.
What q lucious lump it must be!

The MILLIoNAIREs OF New YoRK.-The New
York correspondent of the Charleston Courier
makes the following mention Of the millionaires of
that city: a.
"William B. Astor is cur richest man; he in
berited his wealth. Stephen Whitney, five mil
lions; owes his fortune TO speculations in cotton
and the rise in real estate. w. Fl. Aspinwall,
four millions; came Of rich family, and gained
vast increase of wealth in the shipping business.
James Lenox, three millions, which he inherited.
The late Peter Harmony, two millions; came to
this city as cabin boy, and grew rich by COM
merce The Lorillards, two millions; came from
France poor, and made their huge fortune in the
tobacco and snuff business. The late Anson G.
Phelps. two millions: learned the trade of timer,
and made fortune in iron and copper. Alexander
D. Stewart, two millions, now of the dry goods
palace began business in little fancy store. VI
those who are put down for million and halt,
George Law began life as farm laborer, Cornelius
Vanderbilt as boatman, John Lafarge as steward
to Joseph Bonaparte. Of the millionaires James
Chesternian began life as Joufneyman tailor,
Peter Cooper as gluemaker.
The same correspondent ADDS:
"Georga Bancroft, Henry James, Professor An
tbon Thos. McElrath, and DR.. Francis are each
stated to possess hundred thousand dollars
Edwin Forrest is rated quarter Of million; SO is
Sidney E. Morse, of the New York Observer.
William Niblo, it appears, has four hundred thou
sand dollars; and Dr. Mott, two hundred thousand.
Barnum is put down at eight hundred thousand ;
Bennett at one hundred and fifty thousand But
perhaps the most remarkable statement Of all is,
that Mrs.. OkiI, Of New York, has made quarter
Of million dollars by keeping school"

B1GAMY IN ALGIERs-Thc residents of Algiers
were Yesterday surprised to discover that Mr. W.
L. Harrison, an old and esteemed citizen OF that
town. man who has held various offices Of public
trust-a deyout member of the Methodist Church.
who was won't to exhort in the absence of the
minister-and who, being patriot as well as
christian, was Justice Fortiers opponent for the
magistracy of Algers in the last election, and was
talked of as candidate in the next-had mystic
riuosly disappeared "cut dirt forparts unknown
This, as we have said, was matter Of surprise but
Judge of the deep establishment of the Algerines
when they ascertained the cause of Mr.. Harrison's
disappearance, which is substantially this:
In December, 1s49, Mr.. Harrison married Miss
Melinda Anna Rosalina Walker in Bastrop, Parish
of Morehouse, in this State. Ever since then they
have lived in Algfers happily together, SO far as
their friends knew the union, however, not being
blessed in the usual way and the wife acting much
Of the time as school teacher, in which capacity
she was universally esteemed. Harrison repre-
sented himself to be widower when he weoed and
won the bushing Melinda; and when they settled
in Agiers, sprghty son OF Harrison's, by his rst
wife, was taken into the family by his father. He
was kindly treated by his step-mother, and con-
ceived strong affection for her; so much so, that
when he took sick and felt he must die, about two
wears since he called her to his beside and breathed
into her ears these startling words: IA a.
Mother-for you have been very kind to me,
and nsust call you mother-I feel am going to
die, and must tell you something which hope you
will pardon me for not telling before. Father has
not acted the part of a good man to you-for his
first wife, my own mother, is not dead but is living
in the State of Indiana"
The boy died, and the step-mother kept the
secret of the dread discovery to herself until few
days ago The dislike Of her husband, which, not
withstanding his exemplary conduct, had been in
creasing slowly ever since that discovery, came to
head, and they quarreled. The wife then secretly
called in lawyer, and instructed him to institute
suit for divorce from her husbands bed and board
and $4,000 damages, the value Of the property
owned by him in Algiers. The lawyer accordingly
filed the suit in the Fifth District Court or came
over yesterday for that purpose and on citation
being issued for Harrison, the officer failed to find
him-not even clue could be had to his where
abouts. Thereupon the amazing story gained pub
licity and flew to our ear and we rehearse it for
the edication of our readers. It is startling Illus

HonR1BLE MuRpER.-A revolving murder was
committed near the old Nemaha Agency, K. t.,
few days ago, by fiend named Million, on
the person of his wife. The particulars, as we
have been able to gather them, are as follows:
Million had taken his wife about mile and
half from his house to place where he thought
he could securely commit the bloody act, and
then with musket or rife shot her through,
and left her. Subsequently he gave the alarm
that she was lost, when search was instituted.
His track was followed, in company with hers,
to where the body was found as described He
WAS arrested, and being convinced that he would
be hung, he acknowledged that he killed her,
bnt says it was accidental. He narrowly e.
capped summary punishment, snd has bsen put
il the bands Of the Governor.

ST.. ANTHONY FALLs.-The express" a hand
somey printed newspaper at St. Anthony Falls,
states that people "at the East" seem incapable OF
comprehending the character of that town. They
know that the pioneers of country usually con-
gregate in some convenient place for mutual help
until they can look up good claim and erect tenn
porary huts or shanties for their abodes; but the
Express asserts that st. Anthony is an exception.
A traveller who had seen much of the West, OF
Oregon and California, remarked that Z" st. An
thony surpassed in the quality and appearance OF
the houses any town he had ever seen. Coming
from the fort in clear day, with the sun in the
south, the glistening white houses look beautiful
Its moral, religious and educational advantages are
excellent "We have saysthe Express, Masons,
Odd Fellows, Sons of Temperance, a brass band,
district schools, an academy newspapers, seven or
eight organized churches one minister to every
hundred of inhabitants We are yetnew and COM
paratively poor" it adds "and each has to be
Jack at all trades but we have true merit, intel
Igence, and refinement, and all really possessed of
good sense and trained to good breeding can find
here congenial spirits"
We can well appreciate the buoyant energies
the selfrespect and contentment that must exist i'll
such community, and we greet the good people
of this young, beautiful, and prosperous city with
hearty wishes for the realization of their most
sanguine hopes
