The CoTToN CROP OF GILES COUNTY,
is very large this year, and the prospect
for large yield is unprecedented. Giles
is one of the wealthiest counties in the
State, with the Nashville and Decatur
railroad penetrating her center. The
lands of Richland creek and Elk river
bottoms produce equal to the best cotton
lands in West Tennessee. Memphis
merchants should, therefore, push for
ward their claims for the trade of that
section, as it is worth an effort to obtain.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Evening Before Wedding.

"1'll tell you," continued her aunt to Lou
lsa, 'Stwo things which 1 have fully proved.
The first will go far toward preventing the
possibility of any dscord after marriage
the second the best and surest prescrvative of
feminine character"
"Tell me-" said Louisa anxiously.
"The first is this: Demand of your bride
groom, as soon as the marriage ceremony is
over, solemn vow, and promise yourself,
never, even in jest to dispute or express any
agreement. [ tell you never for what be-
gins in mere bantering will lead to serious
earnest Avoid expressing any irritation at
one anothers words. Mutual forbearancc is
the one great secret of domestic happiness
If you have erred confess it freely, even if
confession costs you some tears. Further,
promise faithfully and solemnly, never, upon
any pretcSt or excuse, to have any secrets or
conceal ments from each other, but to keep
your private affairs from father, mother. SIS
ter, brother and the world. Let them be
known only to each other and your God Re-
member that any third person admitted into
your confidence becomes party to stand be-
tween you, and will naturally side
with one or the other Promise to
avoid this, and renew the vow upon cy-
cry temptation. 1t will preserve that perfect
confidence, that union, which will indeed
make you as one. O, if the newly married
would but practice this spring of connubial
peace, how many unions would be happy
which are now miserable. "-KnicEcrLochcr.

Impertinence.

Some writer, who is evidently an unpars
doned rebel, in letter to the Richmond Dis
patch, thus uncharitably refers to the ovaG
citizens who have been elevated to positions.
of honor and trust by the legal voters of this
county. He writes from ShepAerdstown-
that super-loyal town, which has DOW tho
honor of being the county seat of Jefferson:
The Senator from this district was en-
gagged during the war in smuggling whiskcv
and other goods to the rebels, and while rev
cnuc officer he gave permits to known rebel.
to buy goods and carry them through tho
lines; yet lie took the iron clad oath thouph
1T must be said he always ran away when any
Confederate soldiers visited this region. and
ON one occasion was seen making for the 9th
or side Of Jordan with his wffes uume1;;on-
ab:es on, which he had seized in his haste.
The delegate, too, from this county, sold
by contract, corn, hay, and bacon to the reh.
cl government, and hauled them twcuty.two
miles to deliver them, and would have c0ntip-
ued to do so if the money had kept good vet
he has taken the iron-clad oath.
Onc OF our magistrates made boots and
shoes all through the war for rebel soldiers,
and on one occasion shouldered his tnuskct u,

"From the Emperor? Impossible"

"But, gentlemen" said the now agitated
mechanic, what does this mean how have
l earned such an honor 2"
simply by your straightforward courtesy
and trankness, combined with professional
Intelligence, said Mr.. Wolfe. '.Because VIC
were strangers you did not think it necessary
to treat us with coldness or dstrust. You
saw that we We're already interested in ac-
quainting ourselves with your works, and YOU
did not ask us, before extending to us your
civilitics, what letters of introduction We
brought. You measured us by the spirit We
showed and not by the dignities We might
have exhibited"
The mechanic visited ST. Petersburg, and
soon afterwards removed his whole establish
mcnt there. He had imperial orders there
for as many locomotive cngines as he could
construct. lie has lately returned to his
own country, and is still receiving large re-
turns from his Russian workshop :. And all
this prosperity grew out of unsclfish civility
to two strangers, one of whom was the secret
agent of the Car Of Russia.

A Miracle Near Montreal.
A Dying Mn Restored 10 HcaAA by the Il,
te,postttOn Of the Virgin Nary.

MONTREAL, c. f., january 2S.-A docu-
ment has been published by authority of the
Roman Catholic Bishop of Quebec, giving at
great length the particulars of miraculous
cure effected last New years day by the I'M
macuIate Virgin Mary, and the authenticity
OF which is certified by DR.. Lachaine. grad
uate of the Lavel University. The scene of
the miracle was the Jesus Mary Convent at
Point Levi, opposite Quebec.
In November, 1862, a nun Of that ipstitu,
tion, Sister Mary L. Thomas, after an attack
of Pleurisy, went into consumptive decline.
Last May, hemorrhagc Of the lungs commenc>
cd. In the month Of December she had to
take her bed, being unable to dress herself
The symptoms became worse, and her confess
sor began to administer the last consultations
OF religion. At this stage, the Superior of
the convent told her to pray for a cure
She did so, addressing herself to the Immacu-
late Mary. The other nuns did the same.
and all were inspired with firm faith that
New Years day would witness cure. On
the 3lst OF December candles were kent
burning all day before the image of Mary
AT o'clock, on New Years morning, she
arose, after refreshing sleep, perfectly cured.
When the doctor came, she opened the door
to him, and he, on seeing her, was thunder
struck, and believed he was dreaming. He
now certiies that on the 31st of December
she was in the last stage of pulmonary con-
sumption, and that on the 1st day of Janua-
~ she was instantly cured, and that the cure
is miracle.

Story, aud Tancy, it is to>duy as ever, wise,
dignifed and determined. -
Let loyal people then be perfectly assured,
that in good time, should any interference be
attempted with it or its affairs, by any power
on earth, the Supreme Court wi4l becomingly
meet it. From the time of Hepburn's case,
in 1871, in which the judges declared nn-
constitutional, an act of Congress assigning
ministerial duties to circuit courts, running
through such cases as that of BOcn.an aud
Middleton, in which was declared null and
void, an act taking from one man a freehold
and giving it to another; and that of the
'Stute rS' Fleming, in which a legislative res,
olution discharsiag from prison criminal
was declared to be an unYarranted assun1p.
stions of authority and VOID the his
acted with wisdom and firmness. Ii is the
business of Congress to. examine sinto the
qualifications Of its members, nor can tIc-Su-5
preme Court, or other CO ordinate branch of
the government interfere with that right
But the Supreme Court has the right, and the
sole right, to examine into the character and
capablllty, and give or refuse admission to
practice, to its officers, nor will it permit that
right to be lnteriercd with by any branch of
the. government.
Apart from the matter Of congressional in-
reference with the Supreme Court, is anoth-
er from which like the poisoned virus OF the
serpent, it springs. 1t is the, tyranuic ma
lorlty, the organized faction, which at pres
ent seeks to rule and ruin the country
Should the free institutions of this country
ever be destroyed, said De Toc0uevelle, it
will be by the tyranny of majoritics driving
minoritics to desperation. The time is com.
ing, indeed has come, which will test the ccr
Gcctness of this opinion. Aud if, then, con-
stitutional checks, and the authority of the
Supreme Court to enforce them are not suf
ficient, fearful endorsement will be given to
the views Of the learned Freuchman.

The California Wine Crop.

The San Francisco BnNctin gives the fol-
lowing statistics Of wine growing in Califor

There are half dozen wine producing
counties which have not reported Thirty
counties which do report, produced last year
an aggregate of 1, 1,132, 73O, gallons Accord
Ing to estimates presented at the session of
the Wine Growers Convention, the total
vine yield Of the State for 1866; was about
100000 gallons. Itappears from the fore
going table that twelve mining counties fg.
ure as prod ucers Of nearly 100000 gallons.
Perhaps full returns would show that their
product exceeded this figure. Tho interior
counties, including those either partly or
wholly mineral, are fast rivalIing tie valley
and coast counties as wine producers, and bid
fair to eventually surpass them OF course,
large majority of the vines reported arc not
beH2inS; when they shall be, in two or three
years hence, the wine product will be in
creased to 100000 or 5 ,OOO, 900 gallons
