A Sarinns Ioka.

The extraordinary phenomenon of a
man marrying = man occurred in an
adjoining couRty but a few days ago A
gentleman "wooed and won" the haad
of a young lady. The day of the nuptials
was appointed, and the groom " came to
time" as did, apparently, the lady. But
it seems the lady had a juvenile brother,
resembling her so closely that, when
dressed in calico, none but the most
practiced eye could discover the differ
ence between them. He presented him
self, was saluted with kiss, and an un-
authorized prelate of the magisterial
persuasion went through the ceremony
of making the twain Que. Music and
dancing filled the hour, and all went on
charmingly until-the cat was uncloaked.

leaders OF fairs in any respect save this
that our method of determining the
award of premiums is more reliable than
theirs. Our money never goes for an
undeserving horse, and, consequently,
never to an owner not entitled to It,
Then, we believeo our premiums COM
pare favorably with those offered by any
society, as will appear by the following
receipt:
Received, New York, September 18th,
1867, Of Robert Bonner, Esq, thirty
three thousand dollars for the horse
Dexter, sold by previous agreement, and
this day delivered by me TO him, and
warranted sound. A. Il. FAwsETT."
Some people say that we have got the
purchase money of Dexter all back again
in the advertising which it has given the
Ledger. We know thatis true but how
is it possible to do a good thing without
deriving indirect advantages from it 2
1t is q favorite motto of our life that a
good thing will tell in more ways than it
is possible for anybody to calculate.
One or two suggestions have been re-
ceived, that the money had better been
devoted to benevolent objects. Such
letters should be addressed to Mr.. Faw
sett, to whom we paid the money. He
is a very benevolent gentleman, aud we
are pleased to have afforded him the
means of doing good, and of making
others as happy as he is himself He
resides at Baltimore, Nd. The good
judgment which he showed when he Sc
lected Dexter gives us confidence that
he will act with equal wisdom in bestow.
ing his charities.
We have earned the money which we
paid for Dexter honestly; and Mr.. Faw-
sett by developing the finest horse in
the world, has just as honestly earned
the price of him; as honestly as if he
had done it by practicing law, raising
potatoes, or preaching. If he chooses to
give it away, we certainly will not object.
We like Dexter. We like his name.
1t means Right We always did like
things all right He trots square; and
we like to see things done on the square.
He embodies the American idea, Go
Ahead, all in the hide of one little horse.
Art is long and life is short, and man
must keep moving TO get his work done.
Time lost never returns; especially if it
is lost on the road 1t is only in the ia
BILE that the tortoise wins.-N 7. Led

The Purchase of Dsxter-A Worlds Fair
on our own Account.

Ou JUL oWh ASNOAAh
The Emperor of the French has just
been having a Worlds Fair, at Paris,
offering premiums in a great many de-
partments of science and art The Hon.
Horace Greeley has been conducting the
annual fair of the American Institute, OF
which he is President, in this city, and
which bestows prizes for numerous ar
ticles, from washing machine to a bed
quilt, from an apple to an OK, County
and State fairs are being held all over
the country. Chief Justice Chase and
other politicians find them favorable
occasions to show themselves to the
people; for the people flock to them in
almost unlimited numbers.
One remark applies to all the County
and State Fairs: The horse attracts
more attention than all ether animals
together There is no other animal
which the human race prizes so highly.
Now we have established sort OF World s
Fair on our own account, for one partic-
ular class OF horses-that is, the fastest.
For the fastest trotter in the world we
nay a higher price than any other man.
This encourages and rewards the raising
and training Of the very best Of horses
an incaleulable benefit to the country in
time Of peace and, for the use of cav
airy aud artillery, Of still greater value
in war. In the beginning OF the late war
the Southern people possessed an advan-
tage over US, in the superiority Of their
cavalry horses, which cost us thousands
Of lives
AT most fairs great dissatisfaction re-
suits from the award Of the premiums.
Partially and injustice are almost always
charged upon the committees and the
judges by the disappointed competitors.
Thus a legion Of pisno-iorte makers are
now wrangling in the papers about the
legion Of honor business IN Paris. With
our awards no fault is ever found. We
apply an absolute tesi-the watch. We
pretend 10 no superiority over Louis
Napoleon, Mr. Greeley, or the other

Closing Scene of the War in Nashville.

At five o'clock in the afternoon it was
rumored on the streets that the militia
were TO be sent to eject Mayor Brown
out of his Office Ui et drmiS. This report
drew a large crowd on the south side OF
the SQUARE, who anxiously awaited the
arrival of the militia. About five clock
company of cavalry, numbering some
forty men, under command of Captain
Joseph H. Blackburn, came upon the
scene, and formed in front of the east
side of the Market House. The crowd
around the City Hall had by this time
considerably increased in size, and the
deepest interest was manifested by the
adherents of both parties. The space
between the Market House and the south
side Of the square had become completely
blocked up by the mass of eager and
restless spectators, when Captain Black
burn, with lieutenant and five men,
dismounted and walked up into the
Police Office in search of the Mayor.
They were directed to his Office, and
soon presented themselves at the door.

A Hen story.

Near Greenmount, Va, hen sitting
in her nest in barn was buried in
creviee which was covered with hay for
about fifteen or eighteen feet, in June,
and remained in that situation until the
last of March or the FIRST Of April, 1867,
when she was taken ont alive, having
lived upon hay and her nest Of eggs, and
nothing else for a period of about nine
months She was almost as light as
bunch Of feathers whes taken out; and
the first thing she did was to seat herself
upon a trough and drink water for about
half an hour. She had eaten all the hay
around where she was buried for about
two feet in ono direction. Since her
resurrection she has raised a fine brood

The North and South Distinct Peoples.

We commend to our Radical friends,
who are abusing the Democratic party
for causing the war, the following pas
sage from speech of Col. Dom Piatt,
one of the leading Ohio politicians. 1t
was delivered at Radical meeting in
Cincinnati, on Friday, Sept 9th, and is
reported in the Cincinnati Gazette, the
most intensely radical journal in the
United States or anywhere else outside
of Brownlow's future kingdom.
Colonel Piatt said:
am not one of those who attribute to
the Democratic party the cause of the
late war. | cannot be made TO believe
that ten millions Of people will rise in
their wrath and fight to the bitter end
on any mere political abstraction. No
party, in my estimation, can be held re-
sponsible for it. The seeds of the dis
ease were planted in the beginning of our
Government, and burst out in the terri
BILE war that ragged for nearly five years
The cause lay deeper than in any politi-
cal organization it lay in the great at
tempt, on the part of nation, to assert
its nationality. There we're two peoples,
separate, distinct-one fighting for ma
tionality, and the other for another ma
tionality; and they fought it out until
one went down. There are mysterious
things which effect mankind, that you
can not trace to any cause, that work out
their results beyond the control of men,
We have seen Poland struggling for her
existence, Greece gathering her nation
ality, and the Irish attempting theirs {;
and the same influences that affected
these people affected ours. The South,
in asserting what they did, were simply
asserting their nationality and if they
had been situated so that we could have
said, depart in peace, it might have been
better. But we in the Northwest, being
the more powerful, put it down, for we
could not exist as people if they had
triumphed. So long as we had any
manhood in us we were bound to keep
the great thoroughfare, the Mississippi
river, open to its mouth, and hold our
positionas an independent people. Al.
though say the Democratic party were
not the authors of the war, they did all
they could to help it on, and on the
wrong side.
