A TEXAS paper tells of a young coup
lie who eloped on horseback, accompan-
led by a clergyman who was to marry
them. The lady's father gave chase,
and was overtaking the party when
the maiden called out to her clerical
friend, "Can't you marry us as we run"'
The idea took, and he commenced the
ritual, and just as the brides father
clutched her bride rein the clergyman
pronounced the lovers man and wife.
The father was so pleased with the
dashing action that, as the story goes,
he gave them his blessing.

To FLORISTS AND PLANTERS
Those who intend making flower beds,
or garden, will find it a great advantage
to spade their grounds deeply at this
time, and spadeand mellow them again
when the time comes to plant seed or
put out shrubbery and flowers. In put
ting out rose-bushes, procure fine, rich
chip manure, or procure rich earth from
the forest, to put in the cavities where
YOU propose to place them. See that
there is plenty of room to spread out
all the roots and fibers, so that they
will grow readilyand vigorously.

A Story OfFrench Life.


The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times has the following account
of curious case in a French law court:
ga very extraordinary family law
suit concerning the custody of two
young ladies, aged respectively twenty
and seventeen, occupied one of the Par
is courts last week. The plaintiff, M.
Baison, gentleman of property, liv-
ing in the Rue st. Honore, is the faith
er of the minors in question by first
wife, who died many years ago. M.
Baisson has several children by sec
ond marriage. Immediately after the
death of his first wife he placed his two
children, then infants of tender years,
nnder the care of his mother-in-law,
the defendant, widow. This lady
became passionately attached to the
girls, took the utmost care of their ed.
ucation, treated them in all respects as
her adopted children, relieved the
father of all expenses for their main
tenance, and made no secret of her in
tention to leave them the whole of her
very large fortune. Under these appa-
rently most happy circumstances, the
utmost harmony prevailed between M.
Baisson and themother of his first wife;
he was able to devote himself to his
new family with the knowledge that
his elder children were in the hands
of tender, judicious and wealthy re-
lation whose greatest object in life was
their welfare.
"But few months ago it happened
| that the eldest Mile. Baisson fell in love
"a most improper thing for any young
lady to do according to French notions.
The rule off good French societyis that a
girl until married is never to speak to
any man unless in the presence of her
parents or guardians, and then only in
monosyllables. Awell bred French girl
knows that she has one day to be mar
ried, and looks forward to the event
with pleasure, as one which will give
her an opportunity of making many
old school fellows jealous by the dis
play of her rousseau. But she is sup
posed to have no preference on thesub-
iect. One day her father comes to her
and says, My love, 1 have found you
a husband To which she replies,
kissing her father on the forehead,
sNerci. mon perez who is it?' He
gives the name, mentions proximate
day for the wedding and then the
Young lady consults with her mother
about the wedding outfit. These well
known rules were not regarded in the
case of Mile. Baisson's attachment.
Yes! she absolutely formed an attach
ment, and her rich grandmother, who
had brought her up and was prepared
to do everything requisite, humanely
speaking, to make her future life happy,
was privy to it.
"The object of her attachment is an
army surgeon, a man of merit, both
personally and through his foregoers
His father was distinguished general
officer, and he himself wears upon his
breast a constellation of medals and
decorations attesting his good services
But his only fortune is his commission
and on this sole ground M. Baisson

The Prosnnot of Cratnn Liberty.

The Prospect of Cretan Liberty
WHEN Henry Clay rose in his seat In the
House of Representatives, and delivered MS
famous speech in favor OF extending our
national sympathy to Greece, he struoK
chord in our popular constitution which has
never since ceased to vibrate. That natural
sympathy for the oppressed which is so strong
a characteristic of the Anglo-Saxon nature,
and which abounds to an excess in the Ame-
rican Saxon, leads our people to desire to give
all the assistance possible to those who, fol-
lowing our own example, are seeking to make
themselves free. The same spirit which
actuated us then causes us to heartily endorse
the resolution adopted by Congress which ex-
tended our heartfelt sympathy and best
wishes to the heroic Cretans, who for eighteen
months have been heroically contending
against the power of the entire Turkish En-
pire. History furnishes few more inspiriting
examples of heroic determination. For the
inhabitants of little island to dare, for the
sake of civil and religious liberty, to fight a
mighty empire, and to maintain battle for
over year, and that, too, with no symptoms of
yielding, is an instance worthy of remem-
branoe. According to the latest reports,
Count Bismark has invited the various
European powers to join with Prussia and
demand the oession of Crete to Greece. We
hope the report may be true, for the Sultan
having just returned from an excursion to
Europe, can form an adequate estimate of the
force Of the Intervention, and act as prudence
dictates. We feel well assured that the daring
effort of the Cretans will not result in their
subjugation to the tyrant against whom they
have fought so we'll.

"a SIGN OF THE TIMEs."-Mr. Thurlow Weed,
after two weeks fishing tour with Secretary
Seward, thus speaks OF the Democrats:-"The
progress of reconstruction in the South, however
tardy, has developed one significant political
fact, which is, that the Rebellion has proved
fatal TO the Democratic party. Southern Demo-
cracy and slavery occupy a common grave.
Political organizations will take any form but
that The early admonition of Governor Orr
on this question was even more significant than
was at first supposed. Hateful as Black Re.
publicanism' was to the South before the war,
it is quite as comely in their eyes now as Demo.
cracy. So marked is the aversion of Southern
Democrats to their former Northern allies, that
the fact cannot be ignored"

RSecretary stanton Refuses to Resign.
SECRETARY Stanton, as was anticipated, re-
fuses to resign. Public considerations, which
he is not at liberty to disregard, impose upon
him the duty of remaining at his post. In
doing this Mr.. Stanton but obeys the voice of
the people. His presence in the Cabinet has
for long time been the only guarantee of
safety which the country has possessed against
the wild and revolutionary schemes of the
President.
Under ordinary circumstances the request of
the President to a Cabinet officer to resign
would be complied with, as matter of course.
But the circumstances of this case are extra
ordinary. The President was elevated to
mower by extraordinary means. He has pur-
sued an extraordinary course. He occupies a
nosition of extraordinary hostility to the pub
lie will. It is proper, therefore, that the peo-
ple should keep firm hold of every safeguard
within their reach. The War Department is
too important an agency to pass into the hands
of a public enemy. Mr.. Stanton deserves the
thanks of every good citizen for his ttrmness
and resolution.

went with her parents in 1884 to Algeria and
the whole family were taken prisoners by the

mother died a short time afterwards. The cap
