From the Albany Police Tribune. Miss Ellis and her Uncle Benjamin
OR, THE WAY A HONEYMOON TRIP TERMINATED

TERMINATED.
 Miss Ellis was formerly resident of New Hampshire. She is a very ne-looking young woman, and for a long while was considered one of the best looking ladies in New England In August last, Mir. Alderman of Utica went down to Newport, to spend the summer and indulge in sea breezes. Among the guests then stopping at that favorte watering place was :" Miss Ellis of New Hampshire" and her un- cle Benjamin. Her uncle is a shrewd man of the world, and can see as far into the wants and pecuharities o other people, as the next man Mir. Alderman of Utica saw Miss Ellis, and was so taken with her contour that he inn mediately made Up his mind that if her beauty rested on golden basis" he would "go in and win.' To ascertain how Miss Ellis stood with regard to the precious metals, Mr. Acker- man came to the conclusion that the best thing he could do was to "pump' her uncle Benja- min. To get uncle Benj jamin under the pump, MT. Alderman invited him into his parlor, and partook of iced champagne for several days in succession During one of these sociable sits Mr. Alderman broached the subject in the fol- lowing manner:
 |" That young lady who sat at the table near you this morning, is a magnificent creature Do you know her name?'
 Do you mean the young lady with the black ringlets??"
 "The same. Are you acquainted with her?'' Certainly. Her name is Ellis; she resides in New Hampshre.''
 An old family, the Ellis, believer"
 "Yes sir; and they have the rocks too."
 Possible; and is Miss Ellis worth anything in her own rght?''
 "I rather think she is. She owns more land than can see over from the top of flag staff In addition to this, she holds some thirty thou sand dollars worth of government securities , Is it possble?"
 True, every word of it. 1 am her uncle, and ought to know"
 Uncle! beg ten thousand pardons for my rudeness. Had I supposed that you were in any way related to the young lady, our conver- saton would have taken far different direc- tion. You will pardon the impropriety, 1 hope"
 Uncle Beniemn promised to do so, although he knew that Mr. Alderman was dealing in du- plicity and falsehood the whole time. Mr. Acker. man and Uncle Benjamin shook hands and par ted. The latter walked toward the beach to have smoke. The former went to the barbers shop and ordered Mir. Pomatum to dress his hair e e Julien. Mir. Alderman pat himself OH HIS shaPe, aI the earliest possible moment He then sought an introduction to Miss Ellis. He got 1t through her "Uncle Benjamin" The introduction ripened into airtation the firta- tlon into courtship, and the courtship into a marriage. The latter came off two weeks ago last Monday The next day they started on their honeymoon. They then visited Boston, and remained there till Thursday of last week <. They then started for Albany They arrived here on Friday morning, having spent the pre- vous night at Springfield, where they laid over. On their arrival in this city, they drove to Stan- wix Hall, where they engaged suite of rooms at the rate of sixty dollars per week. On Mon- day of this week Mr. Alderman informed his wife that, owing to the non- arrival of funds he would have to trouble her for a small loan.
