REMARKABLE MARRfAGEs.--Ofthe man,
Cinnamon in New York, not few kee,
cigar stands upon the sidewalks. Thei
neighbors in trade are the Milcsian apple
women. Twenty eight of these apple
women have gone the way Of matrimony
with their elephant eyed, olive-skinnet
cotemporaries, and the most of them are
now happy mothers in consequence. Th,

If this be true-and we suspect that it is
the natives of this country ought to be
remarkable for rphysical strength and beau
ty; for surely there never was such mix
ture of races in any part Of the world.
Representatives Of all nations have located
and married here. We know of two Be
douin Arabs, part of an exhibiting troupe
that came to this country several years
ago, who married wives and are rearing
offspring In one OF the Hudson river coun-
ties. Siam has its representatives here in
the famous twins, and in one Of the up
town streets wealthy native of Morocco
domiciliates with Westchester county
spouse. The mixture of Dutch, Italian,
French, Spanish, English, Irish, Danish,
Swedish, &C., is perfectly bewildering, but
the amalgamation of the Irish and the
Chinese is more than bewildering-it be-
gets chaos of ideas from which no ray
of intelligibility can be safely eliminated.
Imagine a scion of this stock chatting
gaily about "Josh" in one moment, and
speaking of his father Ping Sing Chi, and,
in the next, whirling shillelah at pri-
mary election, and swearing that he goes
in, tooth and nail, or rather body and
breeches, for the nomination Of his moth
ers brother Patrick 0'Dowd. Oh, what
country is this IN. Y. Mercury.

1 The FLowERs GROWING FROM TUNE
FACTION We mentioned, few days since,
the cause of the lad Northrop, at Ithaca,
upon whose diseased limb there grow a
singular formation, like to the passion eow.
er. DR.. Hawlpy, formerly of Geneva Col.
lege, has written more detailed account
of this case. The lad is from 10 to II
years old, and has been subject to tender
ness and disease of the hip joint, which at
two years of age, resulted in extensive
tumefaction; three years later an abscess
was formed, and finally the disease caused
the dislocation of the hipjoint. For four
months the patient had been unable to
move an inch in bed; assesses have formed
in the abdomen, through which the focal
contents ofhis intestines are discharged;
and his nervous sensitiveness has been
such that he would allow no one to touch
him or make any investigation, and walk
ing across the floor has caused him to cry
with pain. The prolongation of his life
was regarded as miracle. On the 4th
inst, there was projected from the right
limb, which for long time had been great
ly swollen, a stem, on the inner side, at tho
edge of the gastroenemius muscle, rising at
right angles with it, more than seven inohs
es in height, with flower squarely set ups
on it, resembling the Passion Flower, or
the China Aster. On Wednesday the boy
felt an oozing from what had been expos
ted to be an abcess, and expressed greatre.
lief. He did not permit any examination
until Saturday afternoon, when stem was
seen arising at right angles with the LIMB,
at about the height of three inches, crown
ed with pure white buds, resembling the
white buds of the orangel On being ex-
posed to the light the flower expanded and
assumed the color of a beautiful grayish
purple.-Roch, Dem.

The Albany New York Express says
that the speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, Gn Congress assembled) by
granting the floor to certain members at
certain times, and when, in point of fact,
they are not entitled to it, can enrich him
self to the extent of 100000 in single
session. Moreover, we are told on the
same authority, that $4,000 is sometimes
offered to the Speaker for the privilege of

THINGS TO BE Every
State in the Union should henceforth most
rigidly prescribe and prohibit the establish
ment of the "Mushroom," "Wild Cat"
and "One-horse" banking concerns which
have produced SO much mischief and
bought discredit ON all banking institu-
tions. The breaking down of half dozen
or dozen Of these bubble banks at the
commencement Of our present financial
troubles, spread alarm among the people
and embarrassed the operations of the
other banks. The people in every part of
the country should set their faces against
brokers banks-mere shaving shops
whose issues have no substantial security
for their redemption. Legitimate bank
ing institutions should also, as matter of
self-interest, give no countenance to con-
Germs that only prejudice the public mind
against all connected with banking opera
tions,--Ne,o York Sun.

A PEG TOO HIGH.-A fecetious gentle
man, travelling in the country, on arriving
at his lodging place in the evening, was
met by the hostler, whom he thus address
ed:
"Boy extricate that quadruped from the
vehicle, stabulate him, devote to him an
adequate supply of nutritious aliment
and when the Aurora of morn shall illu-
mine the oriental horizon, viii reward
you with a pecuniary compensation fol

into the house, saying "Master, here's 9

sS- Away among the Alleganies there
is spring, so small that a single OK, in q
summers day, could drain it dry. Itsteals
its unobtrusive way among the hills, till it
spreads out in the beautiful Ohio. Thence
it stretches away thousand miles, leaving
on its banks more than hundred villages

Mississippi, it stretches away and away
some twelve hundred miles more, till il

THE Flow OF GoLD. Gold is flowing
into the country from all quarters. Since
the suspension in New York, less than a
week ago, the receipts have been--by the
Northern Light, from California, 81, $780,.
900; by the Black Warrior, from Havana,
s1s5, 900; by the Cahawba, from Havana,
s5o0,00O; and by the Europa, from Eng
land, 1915, 900; amounting in the aggre-
gate to s2,66O,o0O. This gold is being
disseminated throughout the country,
finding its way from New Orleans up to
St. Louis as distributing point, and from
New York westward to Chicago.
The flow has just commenced 1t will
continue for. several moths yet, as the
fnanciers Of the Old World are per-
fectly aware. With the tide of specie
setting thus strongly to this country, a
resumption by the Banks ought not to be
delayed beyond the latter part of next

THE GRAVE OF THE BELovED--HoW
precious is the spot to us where the re.
mains Of beloved friend or relative in
whose society we once took so much de-
light. The mother loves often there to
retire, and while standing beside the grave
of her beloved child, to call to mind the
scenes Of by gone days, when the loved
one,. now reposing in silence of the grave,
smiled upon her, and called her by the
endearing name of mother. There the
father spends hours in looking back to the
time when he knew his beloved and promis-
ing son, whom none knew but to love, was
the joy Of his heart and the object of his
greatest care and solieitude. The husband
or the wife here come to mediate, and
mourn over the loss of departed com
panion; all, from the nearest relative, to
the warm-hearted and sorrows stricken
friend, here resort to mediate op the hap
py seasons of the past, and look forward
to the future, when they too shall be laid
beside those whom they love and with
them enter another state of being

I do not crave bright gems Of earth,
Or gold Of dazzling hue
But ask for something of more WORTH
A heart that's pure and true.
Though earth may yield her cOstly gems,

But for heart that's true.
A heart that glows with noble deeds,
