A NEW WAY TO GET YOU'VE AND HAND
SOME WRE.-A Gsrsfraxa correspondent
of the Guelph &C. W. 14dcertassr gets off
the following:
The young men in one Of the nsighbor
ing townships recently experienced 8 con-
siderable amount of chagrin when the fact
became known that an old, gray-haired
widower had been married to one Of the
most beautiful young women in this part
of the country. As the affair appeared
rather singular, some persona have basn
induced to make inquiries respecting the
manner in which the courtship was con-
Quoted, and certainly if their account be
true, they have been well repaid for their
labor. They say that the first step taken
by the aged lover was to get an old gypsy
to GO and tell the young lady's fortune, he
having dictated the words, which were as
follows a My dear young lady, your star
will soon pe hid for short time by very
dark cloud, but when it reappears, it will
continue to shine with uninterrupted splen
dor until the end of your days. Before
one week a wealthy old wldower, wearing
suit of black clothes aud fine castor hat,
will pay you visit and request your hand
in marriage. You will accept his offer,
become MS WIG, and De lett WIDOW III
the possession of all his property, before
the close of this year. Your next husband
will be young man of whom You think
most at present" Three days after, the
old gentleman, being dressed in manner
described by the gypsy, presented himself
to the young lady, obtained her consent,
soon after had the marriage ceremony per
formed, and thus became the possessor of
the prettiest little wives on this side of
Guelph, or any other place.

possible relative to his son.
ST. CIA1R FAvRoT was printer, and If

appreciated, if they will bring this subject
TO the attention of their respective commu-

The Paintings DIucher Stole.

When old Bluoher was quarIered in tho
Palace of st. Cloud, in 1915, after doing
that little job Of his at Waterloo, which
gave him n free pass into Franco, and
run Of the grand houses of tho Grand Ma
tion, he stole seven pictures which ho
found in that pleasant abode, all Of them
being illustrations Of the BonapaIte fami-
ly. Two Of these pictures be gave toroy-
al pCrsonages,'who kindly consented to
make themselves as bad as the thief, 10
great was their admiration for art-and
love Of "portableproptrty," as Mr.. Wem-
mick hath it. These royal recipients wero
the King of Prussia and the King of Wer-
tcmburg, The other fvo pictures wero
placed in Bluchcr's house, where they re-
mained for many years; but there has been
n lawsuit among tho members of his fa-
mily as to tho ownership of the stolen pro-
perty, and it has been legally decided that
they must be sold, for tho benefit Of all
the disputants. Consequently they are to
come under the hammer, as they once
came under the sword. Three of them
are by Gerard, and represent, first, tho
present French Emperor, then but half a
dozen years old, with his mother, Queen
of Naples, Murats wife (Bonaparte's sis
ter Carolmo), surrounded by her children;
and, third, the Queen Of Spain (Joseph
Bonaparte's wife), with her daughter,
child of nine years, Tho fourth, BY David,
( is picture Of Empress Marie Louise,
holding her son, the little King of Rome,
by the hand; and the fifth, by Lofcyrc, is
portrait of tho Princess Borghesc, Pauline
Bonapartc, tho handsomest Of all Bona
parties handsome sisters,
Ii was a curious piece Of fortune that
put these pictures into tho hands Of tho
bittcrest enemy Of tho Bonapartcs, tho
man who did more than all other men to
tear tho Emperor down; and now it is
suggested that the third Napoleon may
buy them, and add thom to tho nrtistical
treasures Of France. As bis own portrait
and that Of his mother are in the collcc,
tion, he is bound to ransom these pictured
prisoners Of the bluff old Pru.sian, who
would DO both astonshcd and annoyed,
could no be informed that the Bonaparte
dynasty which he supposed he had des-
troyed, had revived again, and was stca-
dily becoming moro powerful than it was
in the days Of tho first Napoleon, llo
would think that the whirligig Of time had
bccn more than ordinarily active, and thai
there was no accounting for the world'i
caprices.

thanks, as well as by every induccment to
fame and pecuniary reward, If successful,
do not concur in the opinion that the port
Of Wilmington can be entirely closed by
blockade.
Convinced, as this department has al
ways been, that itis necessary to take
possession Of the entrances, so as to per-
init our armed vessels of light draught to
60 inside, no opportunity has been omit
ted to impress tho necessity Of joint naval
and military operations for that purpose.
The navy has been at all times ready TO
perform its part in such an expedition;
but the army has not yet been able to
unite in a cOuioint movement. Neither
branch of tho service can expect to bo sue
cessful in an attack upon this position in
dependent Of the other. We're there deep
water at Wilmington, Ms at New Orleans,

operations could have been repeated at
that point, but'by reason Of the shoaIncs5
of the water, au exclusively naval opera

tention of going to the Pslais Royal Thea

The Indians Repenting.

The prospect for peace with the Indians
beyond the Missouri looks very favorable.
The following from tho Sioux City Reg
lister Of the 10th ult. Is tho latest intelli-
gcnce from that quarter; 2 i
We arc informed by General Sully that
ho has received information from Captain
Pell, Of his staiy, that most hostile tribes
have como into Fort Sully, and dmado over
lures for peace. Captain Pell refused to
listen to or rocoyo those Indians until
they should give up a white woman whom
they had taken prisoner on tho Platte
The Indians expressed willingness to
surrender tho woman, and Immediately
sent out delegation to bring hor in. Tho
probabilities now are satisfactory and
speedy peace will DO concluded With all
the Indians on the upper Missouri. Tho
General haa now gone East, to secure su-
thority and dmeans for the contamination

Canada ArmIng-The Quality OF
its FOrceS-A Draft.

The year 1865 finds Canada arming. Il
is about to put forth its strengthen pa
per. Its force consists of one hundred
and twelve battalions of militia, termed
"Seryice Militia" and these are to be fill
cd BY draft at once, and as follows.
In Canada West. ..,.,.... 6l battallons
In Canada East. ........ 81 battallions
Total, ..,.,..,.. III battallions
The battalion will muster 79j men; and
liz battallions will, therefore. give 50, ,04O,
or, with the officers, 100000 men in round
numbers.
The force is now being filled with a draft
from all ablc-bodiod males between the
ages of eighteen and forty five, who form
the "Eightoonth Glass Service" men. 1t
is to receive six days drill at any time that
the Governor General may order it.
The men, as body, are hardy, and of
a mixed race, noted for courage. The
arms that can be furnished thom at short
notice are not good, being only themusket.
The force is being organized in Il way that
is not at all up to this time of scientific
war; and it is very evident that the mon
at the head Of the militia of Canada are
very inapt at their work. If that force is
to remain in their hands it can never be Il
very efficient one, or one able to cope with
the militia of this country, ltis handled
by two deputy acknowledgements, ono fol
each section of the provinces, the olicia
for the eastern section being very igno'
rant.
In addition to this force, one of volun.
teerS numbering some two thousand men
has been ccholloned along the frontier, in
order to prevent raids upon the territory
Of the United States, II is formed int
three administrative battalions--thaI
is, Of companies taken for time from th0
volunteer force and PUT in battalion, thai
they may be administered as such.
