not engaged, we say:-'What lucky dog Griffin

We encourage the young man to go in and cut
Griffin out for the fun of the thing. Being
fool like most young men, he does 1t. He pro-
poses 10 Miss X, knowing that she is engaged
TO Griffin, and hardly expecting that she will
accept him. But she always does. And he can
never cut loose from her. He must marry her

The Late War-Panic In America and
EurOpe-The ROmances of tho Cable.

4he Late warsPan1c In America ana
EuTOPe-The ROmances of tho Cable.
From The Times
We suppose that the great Franco Prussian
war panic is over for a fortnight both here
and in Europe. 1t can hardly be believed that
Bsmark, fractious, choleric, and determined
though he be, will again shake his fist in
Napoleon face before the London Peace Con-
ference meets on the 18th of this month; and
it must be doubted whether the French troops,
headed by that formidable telegraphic figure,
'Marshal McMahon, Duke of Magenta" " who
have been hotly engaged for ten days in
grinding their swords,' like our own volun-
teers before the battle of Bull Run, will con-
tinue to carry on their operations as fervidly
as they did a week ago.
The ''war" was sprung on us so suddenly,
and in such a terrible and unaccountable
manner, that we were not only startled, but
in danger of being quite upset. One telegram
hastened after another from Paris, Berlin and
London-au proclaiming gigantic war to be
imminent and certain; and if for an hour these
three capitals failed to sound the alarm, the
lesser political centres, like Berne, Amsterdam,
and Stuttgart did what they could to supply
the deficiency.
Our markets, and especially our finances
were eXelted as never before from Europe
IN isct, it may be said that we have now, fol
the nrst time, learned the quick and tremen
oous mnuence which European movements
acting through the agency of the Atlantic
Gable. must henceforth exercise upon al
American interests.
The critical history of the recent eva
panic, as it was wrought up in this country
and as it actually existed in Europe, canno
yet be fully uniolded: But on some point
we have already had light.
The first startling and unexpected shocl
through the magnetic wire reached Americ
on the 18th of April, from Berlin. We ha
been hearing daily about the squabble be
tween Spain and England on the Tornad
question, when suddenly Herald Especial,
which the Tribune and World also heralded
proclaimed that Bismark had just despatche
an "energetic note'' to Paris ''demandin
NapOleOn's reasons for the sudden armin

PAYING LIKE A S1NNER.-Several years
ago, in North Carolina, where it is not Gus
tomary for the tavern keepers to charge the
ministers anything for lodging and refresh
ments, preacher presumingly stopped at a
tavern one evening, made himself comforta-
BILE during the night. and in the morning en-
tered the stage without offering to pay for his
accommodations. The landlord soon came
running up to the stage and said:
/" There is some one who has not settled
his BILL" ae
The passengers all said they had. but the
preacher. who said he understood that min
listers were never charged anything.
What? you minister Of the gospel
man of God J" cried the inn keeper; "you
came to my house last night, you sat down
at the table without asking blessing; | lit
you up to your room, and you went to bed
without praying to your Maker, (for. stood
there until you retired, } YOU rose and washed
without praying, ate your breakfast without
saying grace !; and, as yoi came to my house
like Z sinner, , and ate and drank like sin
ner, you have got to pay like q sinnerF'

4 PIscAToRY INUNDATION.- Y esterday
morning tho villagers of Neenah and Menasha
were greatly astonished at the report that
the numerous mills and manufactures that
line the races were compelled to stop work.
Such a thing as the water failing here, COM
ing as itdoes directly from Lake Winnebago,
never was heard of before, and the cause Of
such an unlocked for effect was earnestly
sought. And here the most wonderful phe-
nomenon we have ever been called upon to
chronicle was made manifest. Our reporter,
who furnishes the facts, FASTENED to the race
in Neenah, where he was told by millers
who had Investigated thes matter that the
watsr wheels were unable to rovolve, because
they were clogged with fish. Unwilling to
believe such an absurd statement, he proceed
ed to investigate for himself, and with the
following result: Commencing his investi-
cations at the cotton factory, and going from
thence to the extensive Baltic Print Works
on the race, our reporter found the fumes
and entire race alike filled with fish. All
the races in Ncenah and Menasha, and both
branches Of the Fox river, were literally
filled with fish, to the exclusion Of the water
which was thrown back by this great fish
dam till the banks were in danger of over
flowing. AS soon as the news spread, thou
sands Of people focked in from the village
and country to see the strange sight. Osh

HonRIBLE SNAKE SroRY.-A citizen of
this county, who has returned from tour
in the West, tells of the most horrible mon
ster ever born of woman, and if true, will
afford the learned in such matters a wide
margin for speculation. A woman, in one
Of the States in which he travelled, gave
birth to monster, having the body and
limbs Of child, with two separate heads,
united at the shoulders, representing black
snake and rattle snake, which seems to re-
gard each other with the most deadly enmity!
The woman survived but short time after
being delivered Of this hideous ltsus nature.
No account of this affair was ever given in
the papers, SO far as we know, but our in
formant says he knows it to betrue. -Shem-

COOKED AND, UncooKED FooD.-A CORES
pendent in the Ne,o England Farmer says
II purchased two pigs four weeks old, Oc-
tober 16, 1864. They were small breed,
part Chester county. They we're kept most
~ on SKINNED milk with a little meal,
till May, 1865. From May to July they
we're kept almost wholly on milk with a few
weeds, When dry weather commenced, not
having sufficient milk for them, | began CIV
ing them meal, increasing the quantity as the
milk lessened. In September | began Civ
ing them potatoes and pumpkins, but did not
discontinue the meal For several months
their usual allowance was three quarts Of
meal three times day, with what milk /
had, and the same quantity Of potatoes, or an
equivalent in pumpkins Several weeks be-
fore they we're killed, began gradually to
lessen the quantity of potatoes but gave some
at every meal. Inever cooked anything for
them and never gave them anything warm.
They were never sick. December Is, 1865,
one weighed, dressed, 1876, the other S42
lbs. Quite number Of pigs of this same
litter were sold to different individuals and
killed about the same time, but not one Of
them, so far as can learn, weighed owe,
800 lbs. There are certainly two weighty
reasons for giving hogs uncooked food. Il
saves labor, and avoids all danger of injur.
ing them with hot food, while it adds to the
weight Of the hogs and the quality of the
pork"

The Pensacola Observer of the 3Oth ulti-
mo contains an account Of late public meet
ing. of both colors, held at that place. The
speeches were all designed to explain to the
colored people the injury which they were
doing themselves in separating themselves
from the old citizens by their secret political
organizations.
Among these called to the stand, was Hon.
| S. R. Mallory. He spoke Of the identity Of
interest between the whites and blacks, and
counselled a mutual kindness and sympathy.
The Observer continues:
J" The next speaker was J D. Wolfe, Esq,
who had served through the war in the Fed
eral army and was an officer in a negro reg
iment. He depicted to them in forcible
terms the dangers Of arraying themselves as
class for any man, or upon any issue, and
reasoned with them upon the good which must
result to them by their adopting a course
which would identify them with the commu-
nifty in which they resided. This, be said.
could only be effected by free and open in
tercourse, by consultation upon the leading
questions of the day, and as to the fitness of
the candidates who were soliciting their suf-
frage. Is ksg
Mr.. Wolfe was followed by Hays Satter-
white, venerable old colored man, who, as
he said, came here from old Virginia in 1927.
He said he was proud Of Florida, AID proud
of the many white folks.~and gentlemen Of
standing whom he knew at Tallahassee, and
other parts that whether. as slave or free
man he had always been treated we'll, and
that he did not want his colored brethren to
do anything to destroy the friendly rela-
tons which had always existed. He
told them he did not want to see them form
separate societies, that they should consult
the white folks and look upon them as friends;
that they must not run into dark holes and
corners and take the advice Of those they
knew nothing about, and if they wanted to
get along we'll" they must come out of the
shade, come out in the pure air, before the
light Of heaven, and be free men before God.
exercise the judgment He gave them, and
be no slaves as before, that day is past and
gone-the light Of freedom shines the same
on the black man as on the white man-that
it was the white mans interest to protect the
black man, and the black mans interest to
make friends of the white man, and vote for
the best man." He concluded his speech
amid shouts of applause.
