Origin of the F. F. VS..


Many of our readers have heard OF
the" First Families of Virginia. but
few, We take it, know how the term
originated. An exchange explains il
thus: biii.. I,s5gs1sl-s i III a. sGw sas
In the early settlementof that State,
it was found impossible to colonize it
unless woman went there. Accordingly
a ship load was sent out but no planter
was allowed to marry one of them until
he had first paid one hundred pounds
of tobacco for her passage. When
the second ship load came no one would
pay more than seventy five pounds for
the matrimonial privilege, except it
were a very superior article. lConse-
quently the descendants of all those
who sold for one hundred pounds of
tobacco were ranked as the first families,
while those who bought but seventy
five pounds are now ranked as the sec
ond families; and the reason why no
one can, ever find any of the second
families, is because you can't. get a
Vircinian to admit that his mother only
broughtseventy-five pounds of tobacco.

The apprehension that self govern
ment and popular suffrage are a failure
in our large cities, is again disproved
by the result of the city election in
New York ON Tuesday, A year, ago,
the citizens broke down party lines,
and chose an honest man Mayor, on the
simple issue Of integrity. Now they
have done like work in regard to 9TH
er and equally important officers. The
principal office to be'filled on Tuesday
was that of comptroller, or the guardian
Of the treasury, an officer whom Fer
nando Wood testifes can steal $780,
900 year without any risk of detec-
ton, if so disposed. The man chosen
to this place is Robert T. Haws, the
Republican and American candidate,
who is merchant of high character,
flrmness and integrity. He hada clear
majority of all the votes cast, though
his election was made more pronounced
by the division Of the Democrats.
They ran two candidates. one of whom
had $4,000 votes, and the other, sup
ported by the Fernando Wood faction
had II, 900 while Mr.. Haws, Republi-
can had $4,000. The other results are
nearly as gratifying; one Democrat
and one Republican are elected to the
board of almshouse governors who
have charge of all the pauper institu-
tons of the city; of the nine alderman
chosen at the time, the Republicans
have 5, and the Democrats 4; and the
Republicans also carry amajorityo OF the
board of school commissioners. gaHes

eA CAUTION TO You've MEN.-A
young medical student from Michigan,
who had been attending lectures III
New York for some time, and consid-
cred himself exceedingly good looking
and fascinating, made a deadly onset on
the heart and fortune of a blooming
young lady who was boarding in the
same house with him. After a pro-
longed seige the lady surrendered.
They were married on Wednesday
morning. The same afternoon the
s'young wife " sent for and exhibited
to the astonished student "beautiful
little daughter" three and half years
of age. ~9s-3 sid1 z.-e 81 =
e." Good Heavens then you were a
widow" exclaimed the astonished stu
dent. Gsec r fsrtfta - nieiars
Yes, my dear, and this is Amelia,
my youngest tomorrow, Augustus,
James and Reuben will arrive from the
country, and then shall have all my
children together once more.''' s,ee
The unhappy student replied not a
word; his feelings were too deep for
utterance. The next day the other
darlings" arrived. Reuben was six
years old, James nine, and Augustus a
saucy boy Of twelve. They were de-
lighted to hear they had q new papa"
who as soon as he could speak remarked
that Augustus and James did not much
resemble Reuben and Amelia. 80
Well no." said the happy mother !;
"my first husband was quite different
style of man from my second-com-
plexion, temperament, color of hair and
eyes-all different"
This was too much. He had not
only married a widow, but was her
third husband, and the astonished step
father of four children.
"But her fortune' thought he, "that
willslnakc amends" He spoke of her
fortune.
"These are my treasures" says she
in the Roman matron style, pointing to
her children.
The conceit was now quite taken out
of the Michigander, who finding that
he had made complete goose of him.
self, at once retired to farm in his
native State, where he could have a
chance to render his /" boys useful,
and make them sweat for tho deceit
practiced upon him by their mother.

The Washington Correspondent of
the Philadelphia North american says
there is quite enough in the past career
of Judge Douglas to give assurance
now, that his first movement viii be to
conciliate the south, from which, after
long devotion, he has been partially
alienated. Perhaps positive, open
demonstration may be reserved until
after the election of United States Sen
ator in Illinois, but that it will be made
in good time, little reasonable doubt
can be entertained. The day is not
very distant when the prediction will
become history. His personal efforts
in. this direction, at the last session,
were the subject of much comment,
being quite as conspicuous as those of
Mr.. Seward, who seized every oppor-
tunity that would be tolerated, to pro-
pitiate the men who were representing
the section and sentiment against
which his fercest warfare was devoted.
The south has an account to settle with
Judge Douglas - at least certain lead
ers have, who do not mean to be over
Swallowed by his larger proportions,
without resentment. Mr.. Breckenridge,
and others, who gave in a qualified adj
hcsion to him, did so with the reserva-
ton that it was only for the contest as
between Douglas and Lincoln, and no
more Mr.. Hunter, Mr.. Davis, Mr..
Toombs, Mr.. Orr, Mr.. Stephens and
MIR. Fitzpatrick, viii require him to
face the music before many months,
and he cannot meet their, requirements
without losing northern ground. 1t is
said Mr.. Jefferson Davis has gone
home for the express purpose of open
ing the ball, in speech which Judge
Douglas must notice hereafter.

WALKER.-We see it stated that
William Walker, the FiIIibuster, has
finally got small load Of emigrants off
from Mobile, for Nicaragua. 1t sailed
with 40 of them on Tuesday night
without clearance, and the u. s. rev.
enue cutter in the harbor failed, either
for the want of ability or disposi-
ton, in an attempt to stop its progress.
One of the naval officers, however, got
on board the fillibuster vessel, and
went off with the party, "as guest"
the telegraph''says, but perhaps as cap
tive. The latest advices from Nicar-
aqua represent that there is no party
favorable to these fighting emigrants,
there is nothing the people dread SO
much as another visit from Walker and
his men, and that both English and
American naval vessels are on the
coast prepared to intercept the fillibus-
tiers, if they escape detention in our
ports. @s}+ ssi''.'s' ''''s''" '''- - '''ie

A correspondent of the Flint Citizen

81 have just returned from Linden
from an examination of a circumstance
worthy of note. Mr.. c. Beach, resi-
dent of Linden, has had spasams for
twenty-seyen years, daily, and for the
last eight years they have been SO vio-
lent he hasbeen unable to do any labor.
He was a printer by trade. Some time
last June, a German doctor was applied
to, who said there was a serpent in his
stomach that caused the disease. His
opinion was ridiculed by the medical
faculty generally. Mr.. Beach coin
cided with his opinion, and employed
the German doctor. He first tried to
take the snake from him by inducing it
to come up, by first starving it and then
tempting it with food; but the passage
was too small. Before it made its APP
pearance Mr.. Beach became so stran-
gled that he could not endure it. He
then gave medicine to kill and dissolve
it. Last Friday, the 18th inst, Mr..
Beach discharged through his bowels
the skeleton of the snake, not far from
three feet in length; its head measured
one inch and one-eigllth in width Mr..
Beach is man much respected, and OF
fine prepossessing appearance. On
the occasion of the event there was a
great jubilee in Linden. Mr.. S. c.
Sadler gave the doctor his choice in all
the village lots not occupied, and the
citizens contributed literally to build
him house, and he is soon to be re-
sident of this place. The snake is
preserved in a glass jar, in alcohol.
The German doctor has performed
other cures of chronic diseases said
by others to be incurable. 1 was in
formed by Dir. Beach that he had spent
twelve hundred dollars in medical
treatment, and had had the treatment
of the highest medical faculty in, the
United States, but to no avail. s.
