yeero Suffrage.

The Columbus Journal of the 10th
inst. contains an article by Hon G.
S. Hamilton, M. c.. in which the. wri-
ter proves by extracts from the con
stitution of the original thirteen
States that in none of those States
was suffrage restricted on account OF
color except in South Carolina, Vir-
ginia and Georgia. Such was the
case during the progress Of the Rev
olution, and the Chicago Times, a
Democratic paper, in the course OF
an argument for impartial suffrage
says:
The word white is not found in any
of the original constitutions save
that of South Carolina. In every
other State negroes who possessed
the qualifications that were required
impartially of all men were admitted
TO vote. And many of that race did
vote in the Southern rs well as in
the Northern States. And, more
over they voted the-Democratic tick
ct for it was the Democratic party of
that day which affirmed their right
in that respect upon an impartial ba
sis with white men. All Democrats
cannot, even at this day, have for
gotten the statement of General
Jackson that he was supported for
the Presidency by negro votes !. the

A new method of yitrifying the
surface of iron has recently been in
troduced in Paris. Instead of Gov
ering the surface of the iron accord
ing to the usual method with very
fusible glass in powder and then
bringing the iron to a red heat, the
materials of the glass are laid upon
the iron, which is heated until perfect
takes place. The con-
sequence is that the iron becomes
oxydized. and combining with the
silicic acid, the iron and glass form
one substance. The coating may be
as thick as desired, but it is found in
practice that thick coat of glass
soon breaks away, while thin one
lasts for long time. The method
Is beng applied or tried upon armor
plates for ships.

"CHARIoTEER, PAUSE "a good
story is told Of certain colonel in
the late war The colonel aforesaid
was riding in stage coach with
several other passengers, when he
accidentally dropped his hat outside
the coach. Putting his head out of
the coach window, he exclaimed, in
"a stentorian voice, ''Charioteer,
pause. / have lost my chipeau."--
The driver paid no heed to the com
mand. Again the bombastic fellow
authoritatively spake-"Charioteer,
pause! / have lost my chipeau."-
No attention being paid by the dri-

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-Some
years since the daughter of a fash
iOnable family on Fifth Avenue,
New York, who was only fourteen
years of age, was wooed and won by
a gentleman of seventeen, and they
were clandestinely married in church.
The parents learned of it in time to
meet the two made one at the church
door. The groom was marched
off to school and the bride was lock
ed mp in her room. She went subse.
quently TO Paris, and was introduced
into society or course her beauty
and wealth brought her many suitors.
But she repelled them all and faith.
fully corresponded with her husband.
Not long since she returned home.--
The first person she observed
on landing was her faithful lord,
grown tall and handsome, and eager
to embrace his wife. Parents did
not object this time.

Hotel Scandal.

We hear of the proprietors of a
hotel doing a very large business,
who. requiring a book keeper, en-
ployed one who came well recon.
mended to them for competency
After filling the place near Il month,
one of the proprietOrs came TO him
one day, saving: "Mr. -, we are
well pleased with the manner in which
you discharge y..ur duties, except in
one respecl-one very important and
essential particular. Now we can see
u,at Won wonid never do to keep n
hotel- would become bankrupt
IN 4 veyy short time. And il Won
continue as you are going on, yOn
sill bankrupt US "Why-bow so?
exclaimed the book keeper in sur
prise. Il vii tell you. When a
guest calls for his bill, don't make it
out for him at once, but delay till just
before he is obliged to leave. and
then add about twenty per cent. to
it. The guest will not have time TO
even dispute the bill, much less to
have it corrected. "0h, alb. yes-I
see," responded .he book keeper.
About q month afterwards the pro-
prietors had their attention called to
the manner of life their book keeper
was living--spending money at the
rate of at least $4,000 per year, when
his salary was only about $1,000
Knowing he had no reserve means,
they at once came to the conciusia"
that all was NOT fright, and questioned
him concerning the matter. The
book keeper reminded them OF tie
twenty per cent. suggestion they had
made to him, and frankly told them
he had done as they had told him to
putting, of course the twenty per
cent in his pocket, as he believed
they would not want to have anything
to do with his stealings-otherwise
known as perquisites. A scene fol-
lowed, but the book keeper coolly
informed them that if they wished to
expose the matter they might do so.
For himself, he intended to keep
very still-so long as he was permit
ted to secure his perqulsits without
molestation. Another was the case
of guest finding wine charged in
his bill, when he had no wine at all.
He called for the cards ordering the
wine. They were produced, when
he pointed out the fact that his name
signed to the card, was spelled
wrong. He insisted upon paying the
bill, but demanded the cards, as they
were worth to him ten times the
amount of the bill. A compromise,
however made it all right.

FuN.-Fun should be cultivated as
a fine art, for it is altogether fine
thing. Who ever knew " funny
man" to be q bad one On the
countray, is'he not, nine times in ten,
generous, humane, social, and good ?
To be sure he is. Fun--is q great
thing; it smoothes tn. rough places
of life, makes the disposition as
sweet and rosy as fresh maiden's
kiss, scatters sunshine and flowers
wherever we go, gives the world a
round jolly cOuntenance, makes all
the girls as pretty AS June roses, and
is the best thing out. We go in for
fun. The man who won't cultivate
it, must keep good sized half-rod
between us.

Switzerland has $500, 600 inhabit-
ants and 345 scientific and literary
publications, while France. with ten
times the population, has but about
500 Journals and magazines. The
solution of this is in the fact that in
Switzerland the people all receive
some education, and consequently
can read, and take the papers, while
in France less than one halt can read.

The Lafayette papers recently no.
ticed the mysterious disappearance
of a young lady residing near Dan
vile, Ill, who was last seen at home
on the 4th of July. The Courier has
a communication from "One Who
Knows" giving Information in re-
gard to her which, no doubt, has en-
tlrely cleared up the mystery. The
writer says:
1t may comfort her good aunt tn
know some facts of which l have per-
sonal knowledge. Had she taken the
trouble to enumerate the male popu-
lation of that vicinity on the 9th OF
July, she would have learned that a
young man named Joclyn, as well as
the young lady. was missing, and
thereby hangs q tale. He had been
very sweet on the young lady, and
the aunt or cousin had forbidden him
the house. They met, by chance,
the usual way, at the circus on the
4th, and an elopement was arranged
under an umbrella, in the pavilion,
while the rain poured down in tor
rents. The passenger train for Chi
cago that night contained two extra
passengers, and the next day there
was a marriage notice in one OF the
Chicago papers. That's all | know
about it, and that's enough. Mrs:
Cheever can obtain a wedding card
by addressing note to &. $. JoclyD,

in question is heiress in her own right

her guardian need have no fear OF
her not turning ~ in time to take it
off his hands.
