SOME very pleasant society gossip
reacheseus from Albany in relation to
the romantic engagement of Major
General Phil. Sheridan The young
lady to whom rufnor says he is en-
gagged il Miss Grace H--n, a beauti
full young lady of the Kniekerbccke err
city on the Hudson. Albany. We
learn that she was to have been mar
ried very soon to DR.. @. SIS, well
known physician Of that city. Not
long since she was sitting before her
drawing. room window, richly dressed,
when carriage drove leisurely by in
i nh sah
tinguished gentlemen. One Of these
was Gen. M, but the other was un-
known to the lady. The unknown
one gazed at Miss III. 5 lovely face with
great admiration, however, and, it
seems, insisted on alightiug with Gen.
eral NJ and entering the house with
him, where he begged an introduce
ton. His wishes were gratified, and
Miss Ii, was presented to General
Sheridan. His agreeable impressions
were strengthened, and in theseven-
ing he repeated his call, and has been
| calling every evening since. The rest
may be easily conjectured. The day
has been fixed, bridal wreath engaged,
and ixings all made ready for the
ceremony.
THE Coon TINE COMING. -
Mark Twain takes this view of the
millennium of women's rights:
IL that day man shall say to his
servant:
What is the matter with the
baby?" And the servant shall reply
:" 1t has been sick for hours
" And where is its mother?"
" She is out olectioneering for Sal
lie Robbins. "
And such conversations as these
shall transpire between ladies' and
servants applying for situations:
Can you cook?
Wash?"
" Yes
All right. Who is YOU choice for
State Milliner2"
i JudatMcGlnnis."
F T" Well you can tramp.
And women should talk politics in
stead Of discussing the fashions; and
men shalhnurse the baby while their
wives go to the polls and vote. And
| in that day the man who hath beauti-
ful whiskers shall beat the homely
man of wisdom for Governor, and the
youth who waltzes with exquisite
grace shall be Chief of Police, in
| preference to the man of practical
sagacity and determined energy.
Every man, ] take it, has a selfish
end in view when he pours out elo-
quence in behalf of the public good
in the newspapers, and such is the
case with me. / do not want the
