scandal mt Grand Rapids, MIcl,


just now the lovers of scandal here
are having nice little piece served up
- Madame Rumor, with more Of
truth IN it than is usual with her re-
pasts. As she gives it, a young gen
tleman Of this city was paying his dis
treeseer to young lady also a resi-
dent here Another young lady took
liking 10 the beau, and concluded TO
cut out the first named young lady,
which she did, and the young man be-
came engaged in marriage to her. The
injured fair ones feelings were turned
TO gall, and she, resolving. on war to
the hilt, in revenge, threw herself in
the way If her former lover, and per-
mitted herselfto be seduced. She then
notifies him that he must ''como down
with the dust to the tune of a round
thousand, or else she will sue him for
damages. He, in return, threatens to
prosecute her for seducing him, if she
should persist in her demands. Young
lady No. 2 then comes in with her de-
mands, claiming that she has right
of action against lady No. for the in
jury Of her feelings and reputation, on
account Of the conduct Of young lady

Plenty OF Oysters.

From the immense quantity of oys-
ters Consumed every year, one might
fear that the supply of these delicious
shell fiRh would finally become exhauS-
ted, There is little prospect of this,
however, as will appear from the fol-
lowing fact At an exhibition recently
given at the London University Col
lege, portion of oyster spawn (eggs)
was exhibited under magnifying glass
which by calculation showed that a
single oyster would produce 100000
young, Should these all como 10 ma
turity they would fill l, 200 barrels. If
nothing hindered this rapid propaga-
ton, the ocean must in few years be
too small to contain the oysters alone
But there are myriads Of other hungry
inhabitants of the sea which feAd upon
the oyster spawn; other Target creA-
tures eat them, and 40 by multiplying
and eating, and being eaten in turn,
there is food enough for all, man in
cIuded, and the proper balance Of in
habitsnts in the ocean and on land 10

A Sable suitor.

It seems that although Queen Vic
toriA is somewhat advanced in years,
and the mother OF a large and quite
interesting family, she has not been
wanting in royal suitOrs since the death
of the prince -consort. In distant Alb
yssinia reigns a sooty emperor, known
as Theodorus, who, in the course of
events heard of tho bereavement of
hls potent cousin of the far-off Isles--
Having pity for her misfortunes and
an eve to her empire, the sable mon
arch sent the widowed queen letter
containing a formal proposal OF mar
riage The offer was treated with si
lent contsmpt, or Mt lcsst no reply was
sent until his sable majesty, conclud.

envoy was sent out to demand or me-

the charming widow has been induced
to send an autograph letter - her saw

posed, AS easily as possible, and asking
the release Of her subjects. We doubt
if il will effect the object desired. Rs
the latest intelligence informs us that
the queens eu ubiects, az well as her en-
voy, had paid the penalty OF her insult
by leaving their heads in the posses.

OF course Queen Victoria had a
right to decline the hand of the royal
suitor, but as she, IA well as nearly the
entire English nation have advanced
the idea ofthe equality of the negro,
we cannot see the improperly of The
odoi US in offering her his hand and
heart.
Had an Englishman aspired to
mount such dizzy height az to become
a suitor for her hand, we could we'll
imagine her naughty Indignation of

Rev. Mr.. Bingham, who has been q
missionary to the Sandwich Islands
for the past forty-six years, in the
copiSs 81 sermon delivered in Ply
mouth Church last Sunday evening,
related an anecdoto of the late Presi-
dent Lincoln, which we believe has
never before been made public. Ason
oftthe native chief in the Micronesian
Islands had been captured and carried
offby the crew Of South American
vessel The chief was terribly enrag-
ed, and sworo that in retaliation he
would slaughter and devour the next
American who should step upon shore.
It hlppened that the first who landed
was the mate Of a United States whal-
er,who had como ashore for provisions,
BE was seized and bound, and the
savage chief would have executed his
purpose but lor the interference of the
missionaries, one of whom was son of
Mr.. Bingham. After using argument
and persuasion without avail, they ap-
pealed 10 his cnpidity, asking what
they should give him to release the
man. BE demanded q boat. Ono Of
the missionaries had very valuable
boat, which had been son. him by a
friend in Charleston, Massachusetts,
He, offered that to save the sailors life
bntttbo nativesof their party objected,
and proposed to substitute muskei,
which the chief finally consented to
take5 and the man was released. The
story came to the ears Of Mr.. Lincoln
and he Immediately sent, from hie pri
vate purse, five hundred dollars in
gold TO the missionaries who had say.
