After q spirited debate, the following were
placed in nomination: Mr.. Abram s. Mitchell,
Editor of the st. Louis Ne,cs, Mr.. Deffees, Of
Indiana, Editor Of the Atlas, and Mr.. Coombs,
Of tho Washington Republic. Three ballots

ROMANTIC CHINEss NUrrIALs In CALIFORNIA.
Married, on Monday morning, Mr.. Charles Po
to Miss Chu Lin, both of the Chinese Empire.
The above union was oonsummated at the
time above stated, under difficulties. Chu
Lin, one of the "high contracting parties"
was claimed as property by one Fong All Pan,
and valued at $3.50 in cash. Charles Po, the
other "party Of the first part" became ensm-
ored Of the fair Celestial, who reciprocated,
and the two resolved to be made one. With
the assistance Of some Mellicans an attempt
was made to effect an elopement on Sunday
evening last. Negotiations between the
friends Of the rival houses of Po and Pan were
interrupted by row between the principals.
Several shots were exchanged, and Po took
water, Pan following him up with "hot yarbs."
Fortunately no one was injured, though one
shot whistled in close proximity to the head Of
Mellican Mandarin, "Ah Tomm," who was
waiting with carriage to convey the 'Hov-
yers" to Q Magistrate. On the following
morning Fong All Pan was examined in
Justice Court and discharged, it appearing
that he had acted in self-defonso. Charles Pc,
who 1t appears was the aggressor, was then
examined, but during tho interval he had
married the only witness against him, who
(like true and faithful wife) refused to tes-
tify against her "liege lord" Mr.. Po, by this
adroit management, has saved himself term
of confinement, and shown knowledge Of

hardly be surpassed in intensity by Christian
warrior. "Mustapha," o strong and active
greyhound, belonged to q captain of artillery,
raised from its birth IN the midst Of camps,
always accompanied its master, and exhibited
no alarm in the midst Of battle. In the hot
test engagements II remained near the cannon,
and carried the match in its mouth. At the
memorable battle of Fontenoy, tho master of
Mustapha received a mortal wound. At the
moment when about to fire upon the enemy,
he and several of his corps were struck to the
earth by discharge Of artillery. Seeing his
master extended lifelcss and bleeding, the dog
became desperate, and howled piteously.
Just at that time body of French soldiers
were advancing to gain possession of the piece,
which was aimed at them from the top of q
small rising ground. As if with view to re-
venge his masters death, Mustapha seized the
lighted match ioih his patcs and Get fire to tho
cannon, loaded ,oith case-shog Seventy men
fell on the spot, and the remainder took to
fight. After this bold stroke, the dog lay
down sadly, near the dead body Of his master,
licked his wounds, and remained there twenty
two hours without sustenance. He was at
length with difficulty removed by the comrades
of the deceased. This gallant greyhound was
carried to London and presented to George II,
who had him taken care of as q brave and
faithful public servant.

covered sail in the distance, several miles to

Of the ifty-four others, eleven were divorced;
two diod by the exeoutioner; nine died very
young; seven were soon widowed; three were
cruelty treated; three were exiled; the charac-

and the heart-broken made up the remainder.
Twenty who were buried at st. Denis since

dragged from the tomb, exposed to the insults
of the revolutionary populace, and then flung

But 1t was his pride and pleasure as youth

that con be made of incalculabe advantage to
the poor, and to all who may have occasion to
borrow money on goods and chattels. In
Paris only about one.twentisth of the goods
pawned at these institutions are abandoned,
the balance being redeemed by their owners,
and it is believed that there would be like
result here if they could be pawned on as rea-
sonable terms.
