A LOVE SToRY.-Whcn Marshal
Bazainc left the city Of Mexico,
with the French army, his nephew,
Lieut.. Adolphc Bazainc, was about
to be married to 4 beautiful McXi-
can signorita. In the hurry Of
their departure, however, it was
not found convenient to celebrate
the nuptials. 1t was. therefore
arranged that the young lady
should follow her lover to OTizaba,
and that the wedding should take
place there. Meanwhile the Libe-
rails closed in upon the retiring
French troops and occupied the
whole country. stopping the mails
and travel This was sad state
Of things, but nothing is Impossible
to a true lover. Armed with a
passport, which stated the object
Of his retrogradc journey, the
young lieutenant started out alone
for the city Of Mexico, passed
through the Liberal army and
numerous bands Of banditii, which
chivalrouSIy opened right and left
for to let him pass, and bore off
his bride safely to France. 0, Ia

DEAR PHILLIPS The prompt

with which you sprang to my side,
on the doctors announcing me a
dying man, at my city lodgings,
were memorable indeed. You got
me home on that beautiful Sunday
as few, except "ministcring an
GEL" could have done the kindness.
I am not suffering at present; but
my paralysis has gradually crept
from my legs upwards to my
lungs, and | am unable to sit erect
without fainting. l am still very
much as usual in the brain.
With fearful storm raging in
the Highlands about me, I am
thinking how you are "making up"
without me at the Office, and wish
ing I were q .;wec" bit nearer to
you. My friendship with you,
which l cherish 50 pleasantly,
stands q chance to be the last fully
intellectual act Of my life; yet it
is by no means q novelty. When
I found dear old Morris loving
you and making you hlS private
secretary and literary assistant,
ten years ago, | adopted you as a
creature to e loved, and I have
found you to be i man singuIarIy

wished for more-but. alas! for
this fragmcntary life, it is hard to
be taken soon enough; it is hard
to be left long enough.

tcntive and sweet wife, and it is

Property Of Married Women
Protected in Georgia.

The Georgia Legislature has
passed an Act, which has been ap,
proved by the Governor Of that
State, which secures the wifc's
property, real and personal, from
the debts, contracts and liabilities
of the husband. This just, hu-
name and polite measure was
voted down in the State Of South
Carolina, at its recent Session.
Now, that negro property no
longer exists in this State, Git was
! liable to become an incumbrance,
, and an expense to the husband, cs-
pccially where there were many
women and children) there remains
not a shadow Of excuse for contin-
uing the old. harsh and barbarian
laws, subjecting the inheritance
Of the wife: and property however
acquired by her, to the debts
Of the husband. No good man
can desire to have his wife made a
beggar because he is unfortunate,
and unable to pay his debts, and
no heartlcss husband ought to
have the power to subject his
witc's property to pay his liabili-
ties, or to spend liccntiously. But
the laws Of South Carolina compel
alike the good and bad fallen into
pccuniary cmbarrassmcnts, and
there are not q few, to sacrifice
every vestige Of the wite's estate.
Talk Of Shcrman's burnings and
deSolati0ns. in his march through

are far more mcrciIcSs than the

the property Of women and chill
drcn; lie burnt their houses but
left pcrchance a shed or cabin: the
fields and the land he could not
destroy. The laws Of this State
deprive them alike Of their houses
and field, and leave not even a
shed. or garden spot, Of what was
once a fair inheritance. And the
Legislature has shown, not only
an unwillingncss to protect the
wife's property, but will not give
any respite to judgment and SEN
tcncc Of execution. We say the
Legislature is guilty Of this great
wrong, but not all. There were
many men among them Of juster
views, and more kindly feeling;
and some who voted against the
protection Of the wifc's property:
did it with reluctance, upon con-
sidcrations and objections deluSivc
and unreal. Such will, hereafter,
we sincerely believe, take differ

We say again to the people of this
State, as we have frequently said
before, says the Houston Tele-
yaph, the political game being
played at the political gambling
house at Washington, should be
no matter Of Encouragement to
them in the prosecution Of their
plans Of individual industry, or in
the Development Of the internal
improvement system Of the State.
Nothing will be done, after all,
which will cndanger life or prop
erty. Not q man Will even be de-
: privcd Of life in this State by mill
! tary commission. Not a single
"rebcl' will ever be deprived Of
his property by confscation. The
whole game, from beginning to
end, is to ''bluff' and intimidate.
! The North is more in danger Of
revolution and financial ruin than
! the South is and the Radical con-
Spirators in the "so-cal!ed' Con-
gross are in as much danger Of
having their nccks broken by a
tough pull Of hemp as the most
noted "rcbcl' in the South. There
fore. do not be alarmed. Plant
corn and Cotton, raise wheat,
hogs, chickens and turkeys, build
railroads and factories, in con-
tcmptuous Indifference to the
course of the vilIanious crow at
Washington.
The chignon reform is progress
ing, and the city scavengers ar
astonished at the quantity Of dilapi-
dated false hair they find in the
ash barrels. Not only has it been
asccrtaincd that creeping things
are generated in the chignons, but
also that the foreign hair imported
here to make them is gathered
from the heads Of the dead, and
contains the infectious diseases Of
which the owners died. That dis
ease is carried in the hair is indis-
putablc. Frequently the chignon
hair is pluckcd out Of the dead
heads by the roots. Just think Of
it. | am rejoiccd that fashion
does not require the men folks to
wear the hair Of defunct French
men and Germans. The alarm
about "burlakcS" and infection
among the New York ladies arc
50 great, that the dealers in water
falls ON Broadway have had to
bribc newspaper to publish q
defence Of their business. They
laugh at the "burIakc" story, and
insist that only live hair is sold by
first class dealers, and that it is
carefully cleansed by chemical
process before it is worked up into
those charming ornaments which
the ladies append to the back Of
their heads. As for the animalcule
said to exist in them, they suggest
that they will pass mustcras quick
Iy as anybody's own head when
microscopically examined. AS the
subject is getting rather unplea-

Unique Marriage.
A few days since q singular m

A teW days since singular mar
riage occurred in the private house
Of a Presbyterian clergyman in
New York, the circumstances of
which are as follows: The bride
groom was what is styled a sport
ing man, and was on his way to
Albany with a brother blackleg,
who possessed a very dangerous
piece ofproperty in the shape of
an extraordinarily pretty wife.
The married gambler had not been
long on the boat before he observed
something in the conduct Of his
spouse to induce him to suspect
that she was more fond Of his
friend than was pleasant to con-
template, or prudent to permit.
lie kept his own counsel, however,
and made excuse for leaving the
pair alone. They profted by his
absence and, just before the
steamer reached the capital, he
went suddenly to his state room
and forced open the door. He
found the twain within. and at
the point Of the revolver, but calm
ly, made the lover swear that he
would marry the false wife i'm
mediately on returning to New
York. "You say you love her."
he added; ':prove it in the way I
have prescribed, and l shall never
trouble YOU or her. Fail to make
her your wife and I'll pursue you
to the ends Of the earth, and take
your life, so sure as there is q God
in heaven. Have no hesitation
about the legal difficulty. | shall
never make my appearance on
your domestic scene and few will
know. and no one will disturb you
in your connubial relation. |
have loved that woman better
than my life-I love her still. But
after what has occurred I cannot
take her to my arms again. She
has transferred her affections to
YOU I believe. Do not abuse them.
Cherish and protect her; and if
you ever need a friend apply to
me. You have sworn to marry
her. Ifyou have any regard for
your lite keep your oath ; for I
have sworn: as you have, to kill
you if You do not redeem your
sacred word."
At Albany the betrayed Benedict
parted with his wife and her lover,
who came directly over to New
York and were straightway Joined
in wedlOck. The first mentioned
person is said to be man of educa-
ton. at one time a merchant in
Baltimore: Maryland, aud remark
able among his ''profession' for
the strictncSS with which he keeps
his word, and the perfect GOODNESS
Of his play. 1t is said that he
killed man in a duel at Richmond.
