A Model No Cards Wedding.

A Sodus correspondent of the Lyons
Wayne county Republiean tells of a
wedding that recently came under his
observation in that town, which for sim
plicity and economy fairly "knocks the
spots . from anything of the sort we ever
heard OF. The ceremony took place at
the minister's residence-the good man
being called in from hoeing his cabbages
to Zine the anxious couple. The knot
was tied, the blessing pronounced, the
customary salute" claimed, and the
fee-two suspicious Fifty cent " shinnies y
and a ragged ten-center--paid overi The
minister returned to has cabbages, ahd
the bride and groom started for n shady
spot under large tree by the roadside,
half mile of. Reaching this, they
got out, took Of the horses headsialls cut
them a feed of grass from the roadside aud
then seated themselves lovingly under a
tree. Then the bride drew from her
pocket a handkerchief containing bread
and cheese, and the groom extricated
from the recess of his coat skirts u quart
bottle; then the two proceeded TO eat
the first square meal of their welded
life as costly as if they were seated be-
fore the most elaborate and elegant re
past that ever followed a marriage cere-
mony. Success to them, say we-and
we know they find il.

If Butler were up for the Presidency,

would be chosen But long before the
next Presidential election the scales will
fall from the public eye, and Benjamin
Bethel Butler will not look pretty in the
light of returning reason and sober re-
Election. Butler purpose now is to de-
pose the President by impeachment,
sweep Gen. Grant and the regular army

JESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 81. 1866.

the ham-fat man Of the days of the food
was progressing over Lake street bridge,
Saturday, in gay rig, with his fair Duh
cinea, going over to Southport suburbs,
no doubt to give her little sun and air,
when 10 be was stopped at the toll-gate
by the police tender, with "Toll, sir.

the thought he dourished his whip and
started of; but he was again stopped and
told that, citizen orno citizen, he couldn't
go over that bridge without paying toll.

consented, after giving vent to his in
dignant remarks, as to busing de rights
of citizenship becase Of de skin" and

1f the iatherland in the days
When Malachi wore the collar Of gold
Which he won from the proul invader
Butler and the Man on Horseback.

Butler is evidently dieting to play the
part Of Julius Cesar or Louis Napoleon.
The fumes OF selfconceit have got into
his brain and completely muddled what
was originally not very clear The
shouts Of the multitude out West have
turned his head. 1t is questionable
whether he will condescend to represent
the Fifth District, even if the electors in
that district should waive all objections
and consent to bolt the great spoon
snatcher whole, Dutch Gap, Big Bethel
and ALL His hatred to General Grant
makes him desirous to get a seat in the
House of Representatives at Washington.
But he is looking for large game When
the war broke out, and the reign Of Rad
icalism began, with loosening Of all the
ties Of society, and a probable issue in
utter anarchy, which issue seems near
at hand, Butler bethought him that be
might be "the man on horseback" That
thought made him hurry on to Baltimore.
The prize now seems nearer than ever.

Negro Education--Yankee Teachers.

Every man or woman who comes to
Kentucky to teach negro school, comes
to insiil into the minds of the negro
children hatred to the whites, their late
masters and mistresses Hansee policy
is to educate negroes in such way, that,
if hereafter they are allowed TO vote,
they will vote with the North against the
South. Hence the zeal of Yankee teach
ers to take negro schools in Kentucky.
If our people would act wisely they
would take the education of the Ken
lucky negroes in their own hands, and,
with the enlightenment Of their minds,
give to their affections a right direction.
Better endure almost any evil, than en-
trust the training OF the young negroes
to the pesiilent swarm Of Yankee teach
ers who win in a short time infest our
State.-LeringtOa Obserrer and RepUb-
icdu.

A Praying Lunatio in Railway Carriage

At. Hanwell, England, recently, a
young lady was put into train alone to
20 to London. AS the train was on the
point of starting, gentleman jumped
up and got in Shortly after the train
had started, the gentleman jumped up
and exclaimed, This carriage is too
heavy, and it must be lightened, and
straightway his carpet bag disappeared
out of the window He sits still few
minutes, when he begins again, and this
time his coat and waistcoat follow his
bag.
After little while he said, Let us
pray for the Duke of Gloucester. Down
they 20 on their knees, the poor girl,
only seventeen, too frightened to do any.
thing but obey. When that was done,
they prayed for the Duke of York, and
then for another-in fact, through a
whole string of dukes; then they sat
down, the young lady frightened out Of
her senses. Tt
After few minutes he begins again
1t won't do; can't stand it; the train
is too heavy; either you or | must get
out; | don't want TO, so you must go.
The girl, in despair, says, But we have
not prayed for the Duke of Northumber-
land. "Ah, no more we have" Down
they go on their knees, when luckily the
train stopped at station and the young
lady called the guard, when it was dis
covered that the gentleman was Innate

In his recent diplomatic circular, the
Emperor Napoleon gives it as his opinion
that one century hence the United
States of America will contain one hum
dred millions of Inhabitants. This ma
ton will contain one hundred million OF
people before the close of this century,
which is only thirty-four years hence.
For seven consecutive decennial enume.
rations it has been found that the United
States creased at the rate of thirty five
per cent every ten years, or three per
cent. per annum compounded. In other
words, the population OF this Union dou-
bles once in every twenty-three years.
Our population was thirty-one millions
in 1860. In 1888 it will exceed sixty
millions, and in seventeen years there
after, or in the year 1900, the population
will exceed one hundred millions. And
this, too without calculating the effect
of the annexation of Canada, Mexico,
Central America, and the West Indies,
which will all be incorporated in the
American Union long before the close of
this century. With these acoessions Of
population, and territory to sustain pop
ulation, the number of inhabitants in the
United States of America on the first day
of January, A. d. 1900, will not be soul
less than one hundred and forty millions,
or equal to the then population of Great
Britain, France, Prussia and Spain, and
possess warlike resources far greater
than all of them combined The French
Emperor boasts that France and Algeria
contain almost forty millions of inhabi-
tants. Four years hence the United
States will contain fortyfour millions
without the Canadas, fifty-four millions
with them. A century hence this Re-.
public will contain more population,
wealth and power than all the nations of
Europe rolled into one.
