IMPERIAL STRUGGLE FOR kIss-A merry scene
is said to have occurred in the yestry Of the chapel
fist. Cloud after the marriage ceremony Of the
Due de Malkoof. 1t is the custom among the
country people of the Dukes native province for
the gentlemen Of the bridal party to make rush
for the brides kiss" as they call it, the first kiss
of the newly made bride, which entities the happy
possessor to the left hand of the bride in the pro-
cesson on leaving the chapel The struggle between
the Emperor and Lucien Murat caused the greatest
merriment. The Emperor permitted 10y cour-
tcsy to proclaim himself the victor, but Prince
Lucen protested against the decision most vehe-
monay and declared that the kiss had been right
fully conquered by him.

KEEpING WINTER APPLEs.--A Dutchess coun-
ty correspondent, Mr. S. I. Belding, of Dover
Plains, wries:
81 have found by experience that the best way
of saving winter apples is to pack them in layers
with rye or wheat straw. Oat straw should never
be used, as it is apt to collect dampness. Rye or
wheat straw has this effect, that If an apple be-
comes rotten it absorbs the moisture, leaving the
apple fit to remove. without any soft rot"

Point Douglas Precinct Moving.

A large and respectable public meeting
was held according to public notice given, a,
Eastwood Grove, on the Goth inst, to con
slider the Five Million Loan Bill.
The said meeting was organized by ap
pointing VIM. B. DIBRLE Chairman, AID VIM
ALLIBoNE Secretary; and after full discus.
cpssion of the merits and demerits of the
bill, MIR. OAK DAVIS moved,
That all that were opposed to loaning the
State credit, should rise and hold up both
hands. ~
The result was, that every one present
held up both hands against the Loan and
pledged their undivided efforts to oppose the
said Bill.
A Committee of three was then appointed,
consisting of M. J. Jackson, VIM, Allibone
Jr., and G. W. Campbell, which Committee
reported the following resolutions, which
were adopted
Resolued, That we have no confidence in
the Five Million Loan; there is no security
against loss to the State for any sum the
Railroad Companies receive; nor for the
construction of single mile of Rail Road
nor for ensuring that single car will be put
in motion.
Resolued, That we feel deep regret in the
confinement of the Hon. Moses NJ. Strong,
one of the stockholders of the Companies
and are in full hope that when he shall be re-
leased from confinement we will receive
more and stronger light upon the money cri.
sis, and of the disposition of that $500, 900
of La Crosse & Milwaukee Bonds loaned to
the Minnesota & Pacific Railroad Company,
for uses at the Extra Session of the Terrific
rial Legislature.
Resolued, That the proceedings of this
mectin. be signed by the Chairman and Sec
retary, and copy Of the same be forwarded
to the Minnssotiam, and Saltwater Messenger

Chairman.

Mr.. Critienden,s Amendment,

AS this proposition of the distinguished
Senator from Kentucky is fixed upon as the
platform of Union amongst all divisions of the
Anti-Lecompton forces in the House of Con-
gress, we give its scope, in his own words:
efhe effect of it will be (says Mr.. c. to
admit Kansas into the Union, upon condition
that this Constitution of hers be submitted
to fair vote of the qualified electors of Kan
sas, to be ratified by them, and if so ratified,
the President, on information of the fact, shall
proclaim it a State of the Union without fur
ther proceedings; and, if not ratified, to have
new Constitutional Canvention convened.
My amendment vii, be an enabling act IN
effect, but admitting Kansas for the present"

THE SUICIDE.

She stood at the brink of the restless stream
As rs magic waves rolled by;
And thought as she gazed on its ceaseless now,
That 1t was not so hard TO die.
But ere she plunged in its bosom cold,
She bade her quick thoughts nee pacA
To 4 sunny cot meath a vine-clad hiii'
On childhood's hower-strewn TaoA'
Again she was kneeing, fond and pure,
Al her darling mothers knee,
And breathing in accents OF iath suohnie'
A prayer to be happy and iree'
And then she stood in the ivy-twined porch,
And loved ones form at her side,
And he whispered in tones, as the echo soft,
To her, his affianced bride.
That fond, clssping arm again she felt
Heard that long-lost loving tone;
And her spirit thrilled with its wonted power,
Al the murmurei words, "Mine own f'
But the dream has changed, and . spirit wild
Inhabits that form so fair;
She clasps her hands o'er her burning eyes,
To shut out the demon despair.
For a mothers grave, with its humblest stone,
Is seen In the churchy yard near;
And the dark ming shade of q drunkard's form,
Has fallen on the greensward here.
She dreams no more, but with sudden start
Looks up at the setting sun;
Then down at the circlng wave beneath
plunge-and all Is done.
Oh who shall ask If that action rash
The penance of earthly love
Is kept by the registering angel still,
Or forgiven by God above?
The bubbling font of idolatrous love,
Had dried in the scorchng air
or the wine cup red, and the fire in the heart
Had turned into ashes there.
The proud ones scorn, and the false ones smile,
A. ba1 fov
And the cruel world with its icy breath,
Made the kiss of the wave more warm.

The New York Tribune out Against
the Loan, and COntradicting the Ad-
dress of the Sixty Legislators who
Voted in favor of 1.-THE Tribune's
Warning to the People of Minnesota.
The following article, which we clip from
the editorial columns of the New York Tr-
bune, is but another evidence of the reckless
ness of the ignoble Sixty, in making unfound-
ed statements to justify their course. When
they endorsed their oon purity by resolutions
duly passed in the Senate and House, they
should also have resolved, that sail we say,
or have said, or may Say on this subject, is
true J" for the absurdity in the one case would
have been no greater than in the other
But read, ponder and reflect upon the Tri-
bun'e article, which is as follows:
From the New York Tribune of March 80.
"The State of Minnesota is not fairly born
yet. but her embryo legislators have let her
IN for Public Debt of Five Millions of Dol
lars, provided the Loan shall be approved by
direct vote of her people at q special cleo
tion to be held on the 18th of April. Of
course if the people vote to ratify the Loan,
we shall expect them to pay it, should it ever
devolve upon them, as its friends insist it nev-
er will. The money is to be loaned to her
prospective Railroads, on a mortgage of their
Land Grants, &c. An address from the
friends of the Loan says:
"We found, also, that other American States had
loaned their credit for Railroads. to an aggregate
amount of not less than one hundred millions, often
with less and never with security than reGuir
ed and there isnot0 single instance record ahere
dollar Of tdrdtion has been teUied or paid therefore,
We don't wish to meddle in the local
controversies Of distant States but truth is
truth, and the above statement is something
else Our State loaned Three Millions to the
Erie Rsilroad, and had to assume and paw
the loan; ditto with regard to a smaller loan
of her credit to the Ithaca and Oswego
Road ditto we believe) with regard to the
Hudson and Berkshire Road. Other States
have had similar luck. Still others are bound
to fair likewise in the future. 1t may or
may not be the true interest of Minnesota to
shoulder the proposed Loan as think it is
not but let her not in any event imagine
such loan mere matter of form, but un-
derstand that running in debt, even as securi.
ty for others, involves at least possibility of
being required to pay And if she is called
on, let her resolve never to sullJ her name
with Reputation"
Republicans, especially we hope will let
the above sink deeply into their minds, and
at the polls strike boldly the enemies of the
State

AN INHUMAN SPECTACLE, was that we wit

when going by one of those pestiferous

not lnaptly termed, is dealt out for "three

them had from very depravity and brutality,

more persons with teams, stock, &C., have
settled just beyond, in Isanti county, in the
vicinity of Cambridge, and those who have
settled around in Township "a, are opening
farms and doing well. The gent has written
