"John Davis, an overseer in the Eagle Cotton

1t is true that this poor girl, beaten and manned
by this cotton brute, was, unfortunately, white,

for her the same august Virgin was sacrificed.

A correspondent of the yolksfreund, writing
from " the Indiana prairie" April 80, relates the
following:
In Sullivan county a young married pair, who
has been united in the bonds of wedlock about
six years, having become somewhat mutually dis
agreeable of late, the husband in his anger,
hastened to a lawyer, and took steps to obtain a
divorce from his wife. One day he came home to
his wife and said to her " Betsy have fulfilled
your wish You said you wished you were
separated from me. Here is the decree of di-
Yorce.n
His wife was at first surprised, but far too
indignant to betrayfany emotion. She said she
was ready to leave. She only needed to pack up
her goods. She wished he would be present to
see that sheStook nothing except what was her
own He stepped into the adjoining room with
her where the bureau and clothes press were. The
wife proceeded in silence to take out the clothes
when suddenly her eyes fell upon a small dress,
and, quite overcome, she broke out in conYulsive
weeping. ...
The husband, hitherto an Indifferent observer
remarked her emotion and discovered the cause.
1t was the dress of their only child little daugh.
ter of three years, who had died almost two years
ago. The husband was not less affected by the
sight than his wife He embraced her with emo
ton, begged her pardon again and again, tore the
decree of divorce into thousand pieces, has
tened to the clerks Office, took out new marriage
license and was married Immediately to his late
wife

A Grand Banquet in Paris by a CItizei
of Chicago,

Paris april Correspondence of the New York Herald
A grand little dinner was given last evening at
the Grand Hotel by one of your millionaires, Mr..
/. H. BurCh, of Chicago. 1t was without excep-
ton, the most elegant and recherche affair of the
kind at which have ever " assistedn in Paris,
and was creditable, as well to the liberality and
good taste of the giver to the resources Of the
hotel. There were thirty eight guests, the United
States minister and Mrs. BigeloW occupying oppo-
site seats in the center of the table, This was
elegantly decorated with natural flowers and silver
ornamented pieces and seated around it were
some of the most beautiful and accomplished rep
resentatives of Americas fair daughters.
Among the officials present were Mr.. Bigelow,
Col. Hay and Mr.. POmeroy, secretaries of lega-
ton and Mr.. Putnam, United States consul at
Havre and among the other guests were DR.. I.
W, Evans, Of Paris; Mr.. and Miss Eg-on, of New
York; Mr.. and Mrs Henry Farnum, of Chicago
Mr.. R-b-ns, a talented young artist of New
York, with his accomplished and beautiful wife
Mr., and Mrs T-m-on, of Paris the Rev. DR..
Birmingham, pastor of the American cuapel, and
the Rev, Mr.. Caufield, of Syracuse, New York
Gen. W. H. Morris and Mr.. Edwin G. Buffum.
The dinner was all that the most finished gour-
met could have wished for and the wines of the
most delicious description. As sample OF the
style in which a liberal American gentleman sus-
tains the reputation of his country in this sort OF
thing, send you herewith the nlenu of the din
ner, a copy of which, elegantly printed was
placed at the plate of each guest. This well-se.
lected bill can also recommend as guide and a
pattern for q most excellent dinner. | doubt
strongly, however, whether wines of the quality
furnished last evening often find their way across
the g big water"
At the close of the dinner the guests retired into
a drawing-room where coffee and lq1teu'S were
served and the evening passed in agreeable anG
envening conversation AS the ladies were leav
ing, Mr.. Burch presented each one with beautiful
bouquet of cameas, roses, lilacs and other flow
ers which had assisted in decorating the table.

MArsoN DoREE.-The detcacies served up daily
at this celebrated restaurant are sufficient to
gladden. the stomach of the most fastidious gour-
mand. We really believe that John has in his pay
a whole regiment of caterers whose duty it is to
exhaust the market, the lake and the gulf in fur
nishing his tables, for nothing is ever lacking.
Then the building he occupies is SO well calculated
for comfort at this season-so airy and so delight
fully cool and all the arrangements of the tables
seem especially designed to promote an appetite
We cannot believe that any one ever suffers from
indigestion after dining at the Maison Doree, or
that such dinner can ever be forgotten.

The scattoding for the purpose of covering the

being now completed, and the upper part in pro-

about two feet apart These act as supports for

of mating are fitted on bamboo frames, which are
not intended to be moved, while others are SO ar
ranged that, by halards, they can be pulled open
or shut like window blinds thus enabling the court
to be covered or uncovered, according to tempera-

IURTLEs.--The Chinese gourmands
have, 1t Is recorded, a method ofcooking
turtles that even a London Alderman
would esteem rare. A turtle is put into
water at first on!y moderately warm, and
covered over with lid just sufficient to
admit the animal all but the head and
neck. Within reach of his mouth 10
placed bowl filed with highly sp,ced
wine. AS the water becomes warmer the
turtle gets thirsty, and is thus induced
to drink the spiced wine, and with more
and more eagerness, until he becomes so
completely saturated with it that when
cooked every part of his body is impreg-
mated with delicate flavor of wine and
spices that is highly priced. We outside
barbarlans put in the spices afterwards,
and make up in quantity what we seem
to lack in quality. At the last Lord
Mayors dinner, in London, given by
Mayor Phillips, more than one hundred
gallons of real turtle soup are said to have
been consumed in dinner partaken of by
more than a thousand guests.
