SMOKING, AS UsUAL.--An exchange tells
this story:
While General Grant was making his trip to
Montreal, 1t was currently reported at Man
chester, \. IT,, that he would pass through
that city, over the Concord Railroad So the
wagglsh tlcket-master at that station informed
a few friends one morning. that g. raj Grant
was expected on the afternoon train. Accord
ingy at that time large crowd assembled, and
when the train came they were gratled with
the sight OF large new engine bearing the
name OF our fortunate soldier. Among the
victims OF this misplaced curiosity was i0cose
lawyer, tamiliarly known as Sam" who had
seen the General before, though we presume
the General had never 'seen Sam" This
apC stle OF Blackstone saw the engine and the
sell at the same time, and comprchcnding his

the street and his office As he reached the
former he was asked by a knowing one if he
had seen the general

PRoTEST. previous to the adjournment
OF the Episcopal Conventions the following pa
per, signed by Bishops McIlvaine. Lee of Del
aware, EastbOrn, Burgess, Lee Of Iowa, Be
dell and Vail, was read in the House Of Bish-
ops:
9 In the decision of the House of Bishons
with reference to the Day of THANKSGIVING for
the restoration of peace and to other important
subjects, the ground has been taken, that, for
the sake of more complete concilation, no sen
tilnent should be expressed by this House or
this Convention, or this Church. in any collec-
tive capacity, on subjects of such Importance.
and 50 dear to all of us as the re-eStablishment
of the National Union, and the emancipation
of the slaves.
The House Of Bishops unquestionably love
their country, and its unity, and they could not
approve of the system of human bondage: but
they will seem to have adopted as the position
to be henceforth occupied by this churh, one
which is consistent with Indifference to the
| safety and unity Of the nation, and to the free
dom of the oppressed.
This is a position which, as the undersign-
ed believe, should not be maintained by any
branch of the Christian Church in the United
States, whether in the present or any future
generation. To signify that it was not accept
ed by all on this occasion, and that those who
did not accept it believed it to have been ac-
cepted at all, only because an extreme desire
tor conclliation and unanimity prevailed for the
hour, the undersigned have prepared this doe
ument, with perfect and cordial respect fol
thelr brethren, but under the consciousness o1
a great duty to the inseparable interests OF

CURIosITIEs OF MARR1k kaE.- In England,
in the year 1868, eleven men were married
who were neither bachelors nor widowe,s, Ind
nine women who were neither spinsters nor
widows. Half of these twenty marriages Of
divorced persons took place in. London. The
returns state the exact age of nc; Fly two-thirds
of the couples married in the !, eur, and gen
orally there is nothing remarkable i. the dis
closure. More than three -fourths, both of the
mon and the women, were under thirty, Blu,
there re.some enbries that certainly are rather
remarkable. Tor instance, two men abo.e
eighty married spinsters who were not thirty
tive; and u girl of sixteen was carried to
men above seventy. Two hundred and twen-
ty eight girls we're married who we're only
sixteen years old, md thirty without waiting
even till they we're sixteen. Six youths Of
sixteen must needs take to themselves wives,
all rather older than themselves. The days
Of our years are three.score years and ten =
, but this return shows us one hundred and
seyenty-seven men and forty.two women who
made what is, ,called new start in life after
they Had passed that boundary Eight of
these men were bachelors until, after attaining
4 the age Of seventy, they married, and three

The Wisconsin Republicans.

The Radical Republicans of Wisconsin
held O. convention at GAINESVILLE last week
for the purpose of expressing their views
on national affairs and ratifying the
nominations of the Union party. Judging
from the large number of eminent men
there present, from the unfinching plain
ness of the resolutions, and from the
great ability and courage of the speeches,
no convention ever held in the State has
exercised SO direct and general an in :
fuence as this will upon the people of
Wisconsin.
The leading idea of the convention as
expressed in it's resolutions was Impar-
tial Suffrage, as an essential condition OF
a safe Reconstruction and the security of
the Union in the future. It was unani-
mously resolved:
e'That in our opinion it is incompati-
BILE with the honor of the nation, after
having called in the negro to aid us, to
abandon him in the hour Of that victory
which his efforts helped to secure that
to brand him as unworthy the right OF
suffrage is to deliver him disarmed and
helpless into the Ihands Of his enemies
and that, therefore, it is competent and
right, and in accordance with that ma
tional faith which is virtually pledged to
him for his. protection, to impose on the
States recently engaged in rebellion as g
farther condition Of their return to full
fellowship in the Union, that IN txlng
the qualifications for the exercise OF the
elective franchise in their several con-
stituencies, they make no discrimination
against any person on accountof race OF
color.
The Convention proceeded to declare
that whatever theories about the lmpos-
sibility of secession might prevail, the
States were practically under control Of
the Federal Government, as was shown
by. the appointment of Provisional
Governors, by prescribing the quallhcs-
tions of electors, and by insisting, on
Emancipation as the condition precedent
to their return. They resolve that Con
