CuR1os1rIEs OF .MARRIAaE.-In Eng
land, in the year 1868, eleven men wc1c
married who werc neither bachelors nor
widowcrs, and nine women who we're nci-
ther spinstcrs nor widows. Half of these
twenty. marriages of divorced persona
took nlaco in London. The returns state
tho exact age Of nearly two-tl'irds of the
couples married in the year, and general
ly therc.is nothing remarkable in tho dis
closure. More than thrcc-fourths, both OF
the men and womcn, werc under thiit tv.
But thorc arc some entries that certainly
arc rather remarkable. For instance,
two men above eighty married spinsters
who we're not thirty-fye; and girl OF
sixteen was married to q man above sew
cnty. Two hundreds and twcnty-cight
girls were married who were only sixteen
wears old, and thirty without even wait
ing till they wcrc sixteen. Six youths OF
sixteen must needs tako to themselves
wives all rather older than themselves
The days of our years arc three score
and ton but this return shows us one
hundred and scventy-scvcn men and for
ty-two women who made what is called
q new start in life after they had passed
that boundary. Eight of these men were
bachelors until, after attaining the age
of seventy, they married, and three of
the women spinstcrs; fourteen of tho
men had seen eighty birthdays. Among
the whimsics may be noted man OF
nincty-two marrying q woman OF eighty
one.

of u very important character, as show

nizing thom as. having fully resumed their

sion OH Friday A delegation of mem-

visited the President, and one OF their
number Mr. Raid, gave him synopsis OF
what the Convention had dono. annulling
of the secession ordinance, the probibi-
ton of slavery, and the Aepudiation of the
rcbcl debt. In conclusion, Mr.. Reid made
two rcqucsts-that the full reconcile
mcnt of North Carolina with the Nation
al Government might be officially y-doclar-
ed, and that the Congressional test oath
might be repealed. The President, in re-
ply, congratulated tho gentlemen on the
progress their State had made, and tho
spirit evinccd by their people; but told
them that something remains yet to be
done, and this is tho adoption by the
North Carolina Legislature of tho slavery
prohibition amendment to the national
constitution. This, the President said,
ais, in my Judgment, practically impor-
sttant to. the successful restoration, -wlnch
is so much desired by ALL" He also in

believes has been purged by the death of

You will not question the sincerity of
my action when you reflect that. in both
instances, my change has been from the

you must not regard my willingness to
return to the Democratic party as the re-

day or two since, Confederate soldier,
recently discharged from Northern

South sick, cmaciated and almost dead,
when, in passing tho Broadway Hotel,
an individual who was sitting in q chair
by the door, on Broadway, accostcd him
with something near the following Ian
guagc: $50 you got your rights, did
you, youd-d cowArdly Southern son of
u b-h?" Tho pale, battle-scarled vete-
ran turned slowly around, whilc n cold
CLEAN of lightning lit his dark eye, and
said slowly, Clam no coward, and my
poor old, gray-haired mother is a decent
woman; and, ,.sir, / have seen the day.
when you would not dare to insult me
thus; but am now, among strangers,
sick and feeble, cndeavoring to get homo
to MY friends once more. The Govern
ment has kindly furnished me with trans
portation for that purpose, and [ do not

sicle man,
"A Union soldier passing by happened
to hear the whole affair, and at the con-

around, could do to keep the noble fellow
from roundly thrashing the miscrcant.
