An Ardent Lover-Winning Wife by
Work.
+ From the st Louis Republican.

from the OI LOulS tx bepuUllCau
There is German family of the uncom-
mon name Of Schmidt, residing in one OF
the southern wards. 1t consists of the old
man, his wife and one daughter, buxom,
bouncing lass of seventeen. Some time
ago young man ramcd Lehr commenced
working for Mr.. Schmidt and optained a
room in the house.
Things appear to have progressed
smoothly. Lehr became favorite with
the old man and his wife, and better still,
with Sophie the daughter. In fact to state
the matter broadly. the young people Tell
in love, and as is generally the case, under
such circumstances, inclined towards mat
rimony. The father and mother when con-
suited On the question, rather dampened
the ardor of the lovers by interposing OBJ
jections and obstacles, but finally consented
to the nuptials on condition that the young
man would formally bind himself to contin-
ne to work for the father for the space of
three years, his remuneration being board,
clothes and Sophie. 1t was rather ungen-
erous to make such proposition to young
man desperately in love, as, of course, he
had no alternative but to accept, and so it
was with Lehr. Like the patriarch, be
agreed to serve the father for the daughter
and no doubt will think the time not long
for the love he bears her.
The terms having been completed, the
father aad mother accompanied by the
youthful lovers, visited the Office of JUS
tice Jecko, for the purpose of having the
seal of law placed upon the compact. The
affable Justice, who has fellow feeling for
all lovers, drew up legal document en-
bodying the terms of the agreement, and
young Lehr, in tho strength of his love
and in the presence of his Sophie, signed
the papers and thus ended the first act
The second was more pleasing. The judge
was again called upon, and in clear tones,
vibrating with suppressed feeling, asked
the usual questions, and then pronounced
the maiden and her lover man and wife for
ever, when the party left the Office, all in
the best possible humor, the old man having
secured good workman, his laughter a
good husband. the young man good wife,
and the old woman good son-in-law.

INvITATIoN.-Havew we Marshal among
US, or any kind of health officer? If so,
we would give him an invitation to come
and stand few moments in the vicinity Of
HuEBNER's S brick building, corner of York
and Eighth streets and use his eyes to see,
and nose to smell something not quite as
agreeable as the ottar of roses. IF such
use of this latter organ would not make
bimrd do something that would be benefit
to the public health, then indeed is there
no hope for poor suffering humanity in that
quarter. We tell you, Mr.. Marshal or
Mr.. Health Officer, there is stencil and
pestilence enough in the above named To-
cality to make rich an hundred doctors and
start good sized cemetery; and if you
don't believe it, come and smell for your
self

WHERE THE GOLD GOES Tot ha,
long been matter of wonder with many
what becomes of the immense amounts OF
gold produced in the United States and Aus
tralia. 1t seems that the gorgeous East"
absorbs it. It is stated officially in recent
report of the Treasury Department that
since 1851 there has been exported to Asia.
tic countr les $500, 900, 600 of silver and
1920, 900, 900 in gold making total OF
81, ,l2O, 100000 Of precious metals which
has found that destination within sixteen
years. Within the same period the net
exports of species aad bullion from the
United States have amounted to s670, 600,
COO, while the production of Australia is
estimated at $3.50, 900, 900, making a total
supply from both sources ofsl, 500, ZOO, 900.

NEW USE FOR Docs. Every old " cit. !"
we suppose, is well acquainted with an old
and shaggy representative of the canine
species in this place, who lives and has his
being on the corner of York and - sts.,
and who answers to the call of Jack. The
said Jack is a good -natured fellow, nearly
as old as the village itself, and provided by
nature with a shaggy, long haired coat to
keep out the cold and dew One morning
last week, Jack came running home to his
masters house shorn of his ,eool; and on
inquiry it was ascertained that native of
Old Norway had clipasd it off for the pur-
pose of mixing it with Sleeps wool to make
stockings of-which will keep down rheu-
matism, and also prevent the feet from
sweating. We have heard Of the dog be-
ing put to great variety Of uses, but this
is something new to US; and we suppose
if it we're to become generally known, the
sheep-killing ours would be made to atone
in measure for their evil deeds

PIcAYUNEIsH-THE SMELLING CoMMrr-
TEE OUrDoNE!-It will be recollected that
during recent sitting of the radical Con-
gressional impeachment committee in
Washington, it summoned the cooks and
scullions of President JoHNsoNs house
hold before it to testify in regard to his pri-
vate habits fearing the nation might lose
penny through the portals of the Presi-
Dental wine cellar; at the same time the
radical party is having squandered thous-
ands, if not millions. Of the public treas

The radical members Of the village Board
of Trustees, not to be outdone in small
ness by the representatives. of its great pro-
totype, recently refused to vote a few dol
lars to purchase complimentary flag for
the new steamer. now building here, and
which is to be named after our town-the
building here of which steamer, together
with her predecessors, has caused to be
expended in this locality tens of thousands
of dollars, and has increased the taxable
property of the village in proper
tionate ratio.
Seeming to be charmed with their penu-
riousness and smallness generally, they
voted down proposition which came up
before them to appropriate small sum
towards the proper observance in our village

THE HARBoR AND THE DREDGE.-We
paid a visit to the mouth of the river on
Wednesday last, and found the work on the
cribs progressing finely under the supervis-
ion of Mr.. SMOKES able superintendent,
Mr.. CHAs. Fulton. There are twelve
cribs now completed and ready to sink
when the proper dredging is completed,
and the work on the balance is being push
ed forward at rapid rate. The cribs will
be sunk in twelve feet of water, and will ex-
tend about three hundred yards into the
lake from the shore. There are some six
or eight scows engaged constantly in carry
ing stone, gathered along the beach of the
lake, and which are to be used in filling up
the cribs and keeping them in place.
The Dredge has commenced operations
and works finely, as was to be expected of
anything which Mr.. PACKARD has the con-
struction Of She has already dug out
channel about fifty feet long by about twen
ty wide and twelve feet deep, and when her
machinery gets into easy running Or
der. she will fairly make the dirt fly. >
The channel between the piers will be
dredged to depth cf twelve feet, which
is sufficient for anything that floats on the
lakes, and then we will have one of the
safest and best harbors on Lake Michigan,
if not on the whole chain of great lakes.

Literature inIndia.

The following interesting particulars
concerning the present state of literature in
British India are borrowed from NJ. Garcin
de Tassy's inaugural speech, now published,
delivered on the occasion of his first public
and gratuitous lecture at the Bibliotheque
Imperial. In alluding to the great dispute
which has arisen between the Hindoos and
Mussulmuns as to the preference to be
given to the OordoO dialect over the Hindee,
and the former being mixed up with much
Persian and Arabic, while the other is con-
sidered the pure original language derived
from Sanskrif, the learned professor rather
inclines to Oordoo, because it is the repre-
sentative of Islamism, which recognizes
but one God, while Hindee represents the
polytheist doctrines of the Hindoos. These
dialects being thus connected with the re-
ligiouS tenets of the two great dominant
sects of the country. our author states fact
which is somewhat startling-viz., that
there is in India the same tendency to bring
the language back to the pure Hindoo
standard as there is in Greece TO revive the
language of Zenophon; whence We should
be inclined to conclude, contrary to the
truth, that among the natives polytheism
is rather on the increase than otherwise.
NJ. Garcin de Tassy Informs US that the
universal les of Calcutta, Madras and Bonn
baylcontinue to prosper, and that the ORR
entail university of Lahore, founded by the
natives themselves. promises success under
DIR. Leitner's management. His object is
chiefly to revive the taste for ancient Hin
doc and Mussulman literature. ald to in
troduce new kind bearing as strong an
analogy to European literature as is COM
patible with Asiatic IDEAS Two principal
colleges are to be connected with this uni
Versity-one at Lahore, the other at Delhi,
each having principal or director, and six
professors.
