construction. Having thus made their
political beds, they are now unwilling
to sleep In them, and they relieve their
bilious systems by cursing the Yam
KEGS.
Virginia, thanks to croakers, Is now
in a false position. Confidence, called
by Chatham that "plRnt of slow
ETowth.W does not exist. A knowledge
that Providence is just, inspires fears
of confiscation and other acts of retri-
button by the freedmen, while
"ActIVe fsncies
Travel beyond sense and picture things un-
seem"
Consequently speculation is checked,
commerce languishrs. Northern cred
itors are not paid, and there Is a con-
stant remittance of specie to Europe,
in order to make provision for banish
ment. Few will consider the wise leg
islRtion of Congress as the only PanR-
cea for their ills, and 1t is only the
Rebel military men who gracefully ac-
cept the situation. No one in Virginia
is making money just now, except 1t
be the lawyers, who are growing fat on
the profit.oysiers of their profession,
while their Empowered clients have to
be content with the shells.
II is to be regretted that Northern
men of character and ability cannot be
sent here as political missionaries
of those who have assumed political
control of the newly enfranchised, and
who promise contiscation II they can be
elected to the various offices to which
they aspire. Nearly all these Northern
white men who have placed themselves
over the colored men are contemplate
fellows, many of them "shyster" law
yers. The freedmen have little CONT
dence in them, and only follow their
lead because they prefer them TO their
old masters. But thus far the negroes
have no leaders worthy of their sup
port, and they have TO get along as they
best can. L notice q written placard on
the floor of the hotel in which L am To-
Gated, which reads; "Richard Couster
will furnish blacking for Gintlemen's
shOuses and boots. Ginuemeu will
please make 1t Rite" Before the war
"Dick" would have never dared 10
have insinuated that any of the chiyal-
ry ever bilked the bootblack. Now Mr..
Richard Couster respectfully requests
them to pay up. The white men of the
South, depend upon it, will now have,
in every sense, to make it rite"

From London society.

In the August number of London So
ciety, published by Hard & Houghton,
we find the following:
The head OF an illustrious house,
whom l shall call Lord Skindint, had
given one of his cast off hats TO GER
tain lackey in his service. Recognizing
this hat few days atterward on the
hall table, where 1t had been LEFT for the
moment, my lord inquired to whom 1t
belonged, and was at once reminded of
his gift. "What I" cried his lordship,
"did / give you such u good hat as
this ?" The man explained that he had
had it refined and done up" "Umph ~
says my lord, 81 never thought of that.
Pray, what did you pay for ?" "'Alf-
a-crown, my lord" answers Mr.. Jones.
The nobleman unused for an instant,
and looked at the hat again. "I'lI tell
you what" said he at length, "I'lI give
you i've shillings for it as it is" ''If
your lordship pleases," answered the
footman. On fact there was nothing
else for him to say. The bargain was
struck at once. Lord Skintiint put on
the hat, and, for aught know, he may
wear il still.
Not long ago cook who was out Of
a situation, asked a lady to assist her
in getting one. Before long place was
found, and consultation held on the
subject. "Pray, num-" asked Mrs:
Cook, "does the family have crosses :"
"Water crosses for breakfast? I'm sure
/ don't know, answered her kind pa
tron; "but what does it signify ?" "Ex-
cuse me, mum" lnterposed the appll-
cant, 81 dou't think make myself un-
derstood. I mean crosses on their car
riage, ote-paper, liv'ry, and ceterer-
err" "Oh! armorlal bearings, you

"And you positively make that q con-
dition :" asked the lady, quietly.
"Sutt'nly, num-" says Mrs. Cook;

"DEAR MADAM: have received
your letter in reply to omega's adver-
tisement. He is a client of mine, and
inserted it on his behalf. | enclose a
copy of my pamphlet, which will show
you my position In the case, and if you
are serious, and will send me full par
ticulars of yourself, shall be happy to
put you and Omego in correspondence,
when the matter will be out of my
hands.
"I have also about fifty other gentle
men of first-class position, and with in
comes from E30O to &C., 900 year, who
are anxious to marry; so that l can
guarantee good marriage to any lady.
Bear in mind that every gentleman
represented by me is bona ade. | shall
be glad to hear from you soon, and for
the future please address me at my
office, and not again to Omega
Waiting your reply, am, dear
madam, yours truly, --.
"P. S.-After hearing from you fully,
will send some cGrteS de Uisite for your
inspection. Among my other clients
are officers, clergymen, merchants and
gentlemen of Independence. You may
depend on strict good faith"
The pamphlet accompanying this
letter describes Mr.. .-'s system and its
success. During the last eighteen years
he AYERS that he has married upwards
of five thousand couples happily, who,
had it not been for him, would still have
been pining in single misery. He points
out that marriage by negotiation is the
rulein most foreign countries, and in all
royal families, and urges that unions
thus brought about are productive of
as much real happiness as those known
as love matches which young people
make for themselves, in which the mo-
tive power is usually straight nose,
smooth waltzIng, a neat foot and ankle,
an exorbitant chignon, or heavy black
moustache. Mr.. makes no charge
for preliminary expenses, and the
terms which he charges are, of course,
in proportion to the qualities of the
matrimonial article required and sup
piled by him; all his clients are honOra-
bic, accomplished, amiable and good
looking, and the most inviolable dis
creLion may be relied upon, every case
being conducted with such delicacy as
not 10 offend the feelings of the most
sensitive lady. Clients are in every
case recommended to send their cdrteS
de UiSite, which will be returned on de-
mand.
Tit be true that one-half the world
little knows how the other half lives, it
Is equally true that one-half the world
little knows how the other half gets
