General Walker.

What has become of Gen. Walker, of Nj
caragua notorietyf We have heard little or
nothing in relation to him for months. Has
he abandoned his scheme of adventure and
invasion, or is he quietly engaged in arrang
ing some still more formidable enterprise.
The latter, judging from the antecedents of
the man, is likely to be the case He is
restless. ambitious and determined, and the
field before him, as we'll in Central America
as Mexico, abounds with Temptations. Mon
to almost any extent can readily be obtained
in this country, no matter how wild or haz-
ardous the undertaking. but not so money.
This, We believe. is the serious draw back. II
the General could only raise $1,000 or
$500, 900, he would soon be able to rally
round HIM quite formidable army. Bat as

MAJOR Mean on MARRIAGE. The late

Adam acted like a sensible mamie fell
asleep bachelor, and awoke to find him
self married man. He appeared to
have popped the question almost imme-
diately after meeting Mdlle Eve, and
she, without any Irritation or shyncss,
gave him kiss and herself. OF that
first kiss in this world we have had, how
ever, our own thoughts; and sometimes,
in poctical mood, have wished we we're
the man what did it, Bat the deed is
done; the chance was Adams and he
improved it. We like the notion of get
ting married in a garden. 1t is good
taste. We like private wedding
Adams was private. No enyious beaux
were there; no croaking old maids; no
chatting aunts and grumbling grandma
theirs. The birds of heaven were min
strels, and the glad sky flung its light
upon the scene.
Gone thing about the first wedding
brings queer things to US, in spite of its
Scriptural truth Adam and his wife
were rather young to maFry-some two
or three days old according to the sagest
speculation of tllcologians-mere babies
larger but not older-without expert
once-without pot or kcttle-notbing
but love and Eden"
