"Republic Of Texas To all who shall

the undersigned, clerk of this county,
having this morning unthoughtedly tied
my office key as a clapper into my cows

gone estray to parts unknown, bearing
said key, and therefore the said key is

And whereas, one Abner Barnes has
made application to me for a marriage
license, and the SAID Abner persists that
be cant wait until the cows come back
with the key, but is compelled by the
violence Of his feelings and the arrange

Therefore these presents are to command

said Abner Barnes to Rebecca Downs
and for so doing this shall be your
sufficient authority.

a Model Marriage License.

A license to marry is often wanted
when II can't be had and this, as Old
Abe wonld say, reminds US Of an anec-
dote' which we heard once:
In the early days of Texan indepen-
dence and youth, an eccentric genius was
clerk Of one Of the western counties.--
The village was quite secluded in the
prairies, and the clerk pastured bis cat
tie on the broad acres around, bringing
them home at ght and letting them 90
to grass in the morning. He kept a bell
on one Of them to help him find them
but one morning as he was letting them
loose, he perceived that the clapper of
the bell was lost out, and being unable to
find it, he made a substitute, by making
fast in the bell his Office key. Not till
be reached the Office did it occur to him
that be should need the key, but now
finding himeslf locked out, he betook
himself to other matters proposing to
recover the key at night. About noon
q rough and ready young Texan, in
buckskin dress, came riding into town,
inquired for the clerk, scared him up,
and asked for marriage license.
Sorry | cant accommodate you to day
but it is no 60"
why not? I'm going to get spliced
to night @nd must have it, whether or
no.
"But the fact is," ssid the clerk,
:smy Office is locked up, and may cor has
gone array acth the hey!"
"The cow What does the cow want
Of the key p
So the old fellow told the whole story,
and the two set off for the prairie to
find the cattle and get the key. But
the more they looked the less they found,
and finally had to give it up. A bright
thought struck the clerk Of the county.
HPil fix you out" said he. and young
Texas jumped rod, 50 tickled was he to
know that he was 70 be fixed out Of the
fix he was in. They proceeded to q
store close by the Office, and there the
county scribe indited the following:

a Theatrical Incident.

Some years ago the manager Of a
s'well regulated theatre 7 somewhere
along the line of the Erie canal, engaged
a good-looking and brisk young lady as
supernumary. 1t happened that the
young lady in question had formerly
afheiatea in some capacity as 'hand''
Oh board Of. a canal boat, a. fact which
she was extremely anxious to conceal.
She evinced much anxiety to master the
details Of her newly chosen profession,
and soon exhibited a more than ordinary
degree Of comic talent. She was duly
promoted and became a general favorite
with both manager and public.
One night she was announced to ap-
pear in a fayorite part. a couple Of
boatmen found their way into the pit,
near the foot ligh2s, particularly anxious
to see the new famous comedirn. The
house was crowded, and after the sub
sidence Of the general applause which
greeted heo appearance, one Of the boat
men slapped his companion on the shoul-
der, and said, loud enough to be heard
all over the house:
Bill, | know that gal?'
9 ''Pshaw p said Bill, "dry up"
/" But I'm id if I don't know, Bill
It's Sal Flukins, as sure as you're born.
She's old Flukins' daughter, that used to
run the Injured Polly, and she used to
sail with him.
"Tom," said Bill, "you're fool, and
if you don't stop your internal clack,
you Il get put out. Sal Flunkins! You
know a sight if you think that's her"
Tom was silenced but not convinced.
He watched the actress in all her mo
tions. and ere long broke out:
Il tell ye, Bill, that's ber-I know
It's. You can't fool me. | know her
too WE'LL
BIZ, who was a good deal interested
in the play, was out of all patience with
this persistent interruption on the part
Of Tom. lie gave him Il tremendous
nudge in the ribs with his elbow. as an
emphatic hint for him to keep still.
Tom without miading the admonltion,
said:
you just wait--I'll fix lcr-kcep
your eye on me"
Sure enough he did fix her Watch
ing his opportunity, when the actress
was deeply absorbed in her part, he
sung out in a voice which rang through
the galleries:
u Low Bridge =
From the force Of habit, the actress
instantly ducked her head to avoid the
anticipated collision. Down came the
house in a perfect thunder Of applause at
this 'palpablo hit, high above which
Toms voice could be heard
g Didn't I tell ye, old boy. I know'd d
it was her. You couldn't fool me. !"

g We Have Changed all That"

The Loyal Georgian, published at
Savannah, since Sherman's occupation,
has the following good thing:
In the month of March, 1856, occur
red in this city, on the Race Course, an
auction sale Of the largest number of
slaves that had for many year been
set upon the auction at any one time.
They were part of the Butler Estate
partition Of which was made at that
time in order that Mr.. Pierce Butler, of
Philadelphia, husband Of Fanny KEN
bic (Butler) might have money to pay
off his gambling debts.
Six hundred and seventy-six black
people, from the baby in arms to the
grey haised great grandfather, were then
and there sold, cheap for cash.
The New York Tribune sent to re-
port that sale correspondent named
Mortimer Thompson, who is, perhaps,
better known to many as 20. K. Philan-
der Doestioks, ?. b.. The wrath of the
southerners was tremendous, huge and
bloody, when they discovered that their
sacred dominions had been invaded by
an audacious specimen of Northern
Scum, and they threatened to hang
Thomson, to shoot Thomson, to slaugh-
ter Thomson, to murder Thomson to
assassilate Thomson, and, in short, they
would, no doubt, have gone so far as
not only to kill Thomson, but actually
to d---n Thomson only they couldn't
catch Thomson aforesaid.
Behold the change
In this eyentful year Of our Lord,
eighteen hundred and xty-four, Thom-
son returneth, and-all is serene--no
more ropes for Thomson-no show of
blood for Thomson-no threats of Bowie
or Pistol for Thomson. On the contra
ry, Thomson has been we'll received and
is having good time among the officers
and men of the 18th Army Corps, to
say nothing Of others.
Thomson, alias sDoesticks, enjoyeth
his coffee (without pistols) muchly, and
his tooth cracketh the quadrangular
hard tack, even as the symmetrical den-
tails Of the gratifed alligator crash thro'
the crisp and brittle bones Of the soft,
stcculent piccaninny.
May 'Doestick's' days be long in the
land, and may Thomson live long, die
happy, and may his earthly record be
such that there shall be no occasion to
'd-n Thomson at the last.
Thomson is visible to the naked eye
every day about half-past, and when
last observed, he was examining with
critical eye the lamp post on which the
gay and genial Savannah aristocracy
were going to hang him six or eight
years ago.

THE NEW ATLANTIC CABLE.-Most
Of our people have probably overlooked
or forgotten the fact that the enterprise
Of laying telegraphic cable across the
Atlantic has not been abandoned, but
is being vigorously prosecuted. The
cable is nearly completed, and before
another New Years day it is not i'm
probable that the great work, so sud
denly frustrated six years ago just as
We were celebrating its success, will
have been accomplished. The new ca
bic is said to be marvel of mechanical
skill, and consists of seven wires. The
entire length of the telegraph will be
1890 miles, so that there are 16,100
miles Of copper wire. The aggregate
length Of material, comprising insulat-
ing coats, jute yarn, iron, outward coat
ing, strands Of tarred hemp, &c. &C., is
215, 800 nliles-or nearly equal to that
Of the distance from the earth to the
moon

There are many people who have er-
roneous ideas in regard to the location
Of the City Of Saints" and the habits
of its people. The city is situated en-
the eastern border Of Salt Lake Valley,
at the foot of the NVasatch range Of
mountains, which bounds the city on
the east and south on The north it is
bounded by q low range Of mouusains,
or hetteF known as a spur from the Was
atch range Ia this spar is situated
Ensign Peak this is large, round,
barren looking mount, rising about
two thousand feet above the city
This peak is distinguished as being the
place where the spirit Of the great Nor
mon prophet, Joseph Smith, made his
appearance, and pointed to Brigham
Young the site Of the great Mormon
temple. Ensign Peak is the sacred
mount of Utah. On the west, the city
is bounded by the West Mountain
Range-a range of mountains about
twenty miles in length, and having it's
northern termination on the southern
shore ofSalt Lakeland Great Salt Lake.
Salt Lake City is thus located in a
large circular basin, surrounded on all
sides by high mountains. which give to
the city wild and romantic appear
ance. Salt Lake, the Dead Sea Of
America. is twenty miles west of the
city. This lake is about one hundred
and thirty miles in length and from
thirty to one hundred miles in width.
There are two mountains in the lake, on
one of which the Mormons herd the
thousands of cattle and horses belonging
to the church. These islands abound in
fresh water streams, and the land ada
cent to these streams are highly pro-
ductiye, There has been no outlet yet
discovered to the lake The streams
elnptying their waters into the lake can
be counted by hundreds: the two larg-
est inlets are Bear River, which empt-
les its waters ON the northern side Of
the lake, and the Jordan River, which
empties into the southern side Of the
lake The Jordan River is the outlet
of Lake Utah, large. beautiful lake,
situated in Utah Valley, about thirty
miles south Of Salt Lake City. These
two rivers are the largest tributaries OF
the lake. There are thousands ofmoun-
tain streams on all sides of the lake that
pour their mites of fresh water into its
bosom. Three pals Of water from Salt
Lake will make one pail Of pure salt.
In the summer, the evaporation of the
waters in the lake is very rapid AS
the water recedes it leaves the beach Of
the lake as white as the driven snow
with tons upon tons of the finest salt
lready for the market. The tempera-
