A man living at St. Joseph's Island, in the
Detroit River, was engaged to be married TO
a very pretty French girl at the Saut and
the banns were published in the Catholic
Church on acertain Sunday. The next day
Yankee employed on the canal made bet
Of 800, with a friend, that he. would marry
the girl himself The money was placed in
the hands Of third party, and the Yankee
called upon the young lady and made pro-
position of marriage. He would not take
mo" for an answer, as "he could not afford
to lose his bet' The lady then told him that
her intended had already given her $40 70
buy clothes, but that she didn't like him
very we'll. AT this the Yankee handed her a
like amount aud then placing forty dollars
more with Il, remarked; There's his forty
dollars and I'll go forty better" The young
lady could resist no longer, and, taking the
money, returned the amount given her by
her first lover, and married the Yankee
within an hour, well satisfied with the bar
gain. The bet was won, and, in the course
Of month, the st. Joseph islander married
the sister Of his FIRST fdncee. ......' '...

The unI.nown secresy ofwomen..

,1I 4tl-tbe-, Year Round makes these remarks:
re- We laugh at woman's tongue, and wonder
when a woman keeps a secret but every
true woman keeps a box of choice preserves
Y for her own private indulgence. The mans
mysteries are not hers; ifhe can not keep them
himself, let him expect them to be blown
abroad. Her own secrets Of love, of loss, of
,selfdenial ofunsuspecte suffering, no woman
exposes altogether, even to her dearest friend.
2 There never lived husband happy in the
.Ftrue love of his wife, who fairly knew all the
depths of her mind about him. Every man
b profits stupidity by the wise little perceptions
! that arise so qnietly and have no utterance
except in deeds, of which we vaguely ascribe
the fitness to special faculty called woman's
tact. Women, in short, keep to themselves
four-ffths of the secrets of society, and do
1T with winning air of frankness all their
own. II fan,s.s issiJrT III -an H.F.I s
A man with a secret will be stony, or por-
ii tentous or, proyokingly suggestive he will
keep his mouth shut ostentatiously A
b; woman is too absolutely secret to set up a
pablie sign over whatever may lie buried in
her mind. She gossips, prattles, pours out
what she does not care TO hold, with such an
air of unreseryed simplicity that all mankind
is mystifed, and says in friendly lest, "a
woman only hides what she don't know"
Among the uneducated poor this difference
between the woman and the man is most
conspicuous. The innate powers of the sex
place her at once upon an eminence which
man can only reach, by education. She must
needs often be tied to one in whom there is
not the grain ofunderstanding req uisite to the
formation of true sympathy. By far the
greater number Of the wives of unskilled
laborers and mechanics live more or less
unhappily, and more or less conscious of hid
den life within them, having such seal upon
their minds and hearts. rIi gr.. .d.t.f

Three Dollars and a Half a Year
vINE.sT., BETWEEN THIRD AND FOURTH
OPP. THE CUsTOM-HOUsE.

The Proprietors of the DAILY Pass offer to the
public complete newspaper, into which more mat
ter Is condensed than is contained in dailies Of
much greater pretenslons in size, and which they
furnish at price that brings it within the reach o
every man and woman in Cincinnati, who are able to
labor. ...
| We ask q fair comparison of the PREss with the
other papers Of this city of any other city and the
judgment Of our readers whether we do not furnish
paper equally attractive at one-haf, or less than
half the cost of the other Cincinnati dailies. .
The DAILY PRESS, since It came under the present
management, has increased rapidly in circulation,
and has now probably large a circulation within
the city Of Cincinnati as any other Journal and is In
creasng at rate equal to the most sanguine expec-
tations of it's proprietors. .r E
From its large circulation, and from its size which
makes advertisements much more conspicuous than
they can bo in the large papers, THE DAILY Press
offers the most valuable advertising medium in this
city. Its advertising business has largely increased
and its columns are respectable exhibit of the bust
ness and enterprise of the city. Its columns are
peciay looked to for large class advertisements Of
"wants" and "For Sale" and for servants, ETC.,
which almost invariably bring prompt answers.
People who are out of employment, or who want
help of any kind can place their needs before thou
sands Of the aboring employing classes BY twen-
ty-five-cent advertisement in THE DAILY PRESS.
THE DAILY PRESS has also larger circulation in
Coyngton and Newport than the aggregate of all the
other Cincinnati papers. . ...
Business men in Cincinnati can In no way increase
their business so easily and certainly as by advertise
ing in this paper. ...
Routes can be easily established for the DAILY
PREss in any Of the towns within days dis
tancc Of Cincinnati by railroad, and carriers will find
that little energy and labor will build up routes
which will be valuable to them and the great num-
ber of one-cent paper that be distributed in al
most any town, will furnish handsome income to the
carrier. -..- .....-...
We are ready to make arrangements for routes in
towns not yet occupied with persons who can furnish
satisfactory assurances of character and RESPONSE
bility. ....... .aI. -.a. ..-r

7t TEE BEAUTY OF TENNYsoN's HEAD.-"Ten-
nyson," says the London Spectator, speaking
Of Woolner's bust of him, "has one of the
rgrandest heads which any artist could work
from. More massive and impressively hand
some the face Of Tennyson is not wholly un-
20 like that Of Dante, especially in the nose and
somewhat broad at the base, as is often the
case with men of abstract thought, is less de-
pressed; and the mouth, splendid in curve
e and swell, has more richness and full forma-
tive beauty, with little or no loss Of passion
: ate sensitiveness. The forehead, eKtraordin-
ariiy high, goes up in a towering slope; the
= eyes are full and steadfast, with certain
yearning look in them; the jaw massive and
firm7set with the chin well forward: the
q cheeks rather deep than hollowy the head ma
. jestioally thrown up from the proud neck,
b and crowned with a mass Of curling hair
which falls and clings In profuse clusters. =

CANDID CONFESSION OF ASSASSINATION.
The Memphis (Tenn.) Enquirer, in speaking
Of the Pryor-Potter affair, says: m -,
After receiving proposition so brutal as
that made by the Wisconsin Representative,
Mr.: Pryor had a right to treat him as brute,
and TO shoot him wherever he met him.
Such, at least, would have been the course
adopted upon the banks Of the Mississippi.

COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS
Monetary and Commorcial.

The Bankers reported brisker day yester-
day than there has been this week in the way
of financial business, and spoke of an ami
mated though not heavy demand for Money
The Discount Houses were enabled to accom-.
modate, and generally were accommodating
their customers at the usual rates-l0@l2 pei
cent-when they offered good Paper. Cur.
rency would have increased somewhat this
week but for the advance and scarcity o.
Exchange causing the use of a large quantity
of bank-notes in asserting. a.
The supply of Eastern Exchange continued
about as low yesterday as on Wednesday or
Thursday; almost all dealers desirous of buy
ing at any price and not expecting to make
any thing by drawing. They must have Ex-
change whether they realize any profit on it
or not; and they pay 60c. for it because they
can not obtain it less except across the coun-
ter or in remittance, which furnishes a small
sum compared to their daily orders
1t is not supposed that Exchange will 90

opinion. Next week the demand will be
large, to meet the payments of the 4th prox-
imo, many of which are now being prepared
for. - fi-l pr l3p'0II = 'l- :
Gold is shipped as fast as received here,
and dealers are glad to buy at 40(145c, rarely
obtaining it lower than the latter figures.
New Orleans Exchange, uncurrent money
and time-bills are without any alteration
worthy of mention. u''
Provisions were very quiet yesterday, and
we heard of no transactions of consequence,
while at the close the market evinced symp-
toms ofheaviness. Whisky was in good de-
mand, and advanced NC. per gallon. The
Africds news affected Flour favorably, and
holders asked higher rates, though no ad-
vance was established. Groceries were in
moderate demand, and unchanged No al
teration occurred in Grains, except in Corn,
which went up TO 46(947c. for bulk, and 4sc.
for shelled. Hay was steady, and Cheese in
fair demand. Prime Butter and Apples were
in good demand, and Potatoes remained dull.
