4 Story from Paris,

A Paris letter tells the following story Of
a Twelfth Night fets in that city:
A wealthy family in the aristocratic Boul-
evard Malesherbes were amusing themselves
in seeking the Kings portion, or the ring
in the festival cake, when a lady Of the com
pany says TO the hostess: r4s1a -,. 81
Il wish my portion to be given to the
poorest little boy we can find in the
street" 5r.srss .s .ga.-s9- la.
The servant was dispatched on this freez-
ing night, and not far from the house he
found ragged urchin, trembling with cold
and hunger. He brought him up, was Or
dered into the saloon, where a thousand
lights glittered and sparkling fire glad
dened and surprised him. He drew his por-
ton which the benevolent lady had prom
lsed, and as luck would have it, the little
fellow found the ''ring,' Oceans they use in
Paris instead and, of course, he was
'King." They all shouted out that, being
q king, he must choose Queen. He was
asked 30 to do, and, looking roun' no com
pany, he chose tie very lady who had pro-
posed to cede her portion of cake. He was
asked why he chose her. He said:
Il don't know she looks the most like
mother !"
Mother! whose mether?''
my motherl never knew her, but
was stolen away from her, and here is her
Portrait"
With this he drew from out his ragged
coat likeness, which proved to be that of
the very lady herself, who in Italy, had
her child stolen from her, and now he turns
up poor little ragged Savoyard, dragging
along miserable existence in Paris, while
his mother, by on intuition, perhaps, felt
that in the air near to where she was, was
one so dear to her. ..

Scientific Rascality Am Trade

1t is no longer a secret Of the chemists
laboratory that clear, golden syrups can be
made from starch and sui phuric acid; that
barrel of peanuts can be transformed into
excellent coffee; that delicious wines and
brandies can be made from beet root, with
others for flavor; that lard can absorb an
enormous quantity of water in certain con-
ditions; that in fact, there seems no limit to
the authorizations that All intelligent chemist
cannot practice upon his fellow men. All
these marvels of chemical science have in
these latter days become degraded into mere
tricks OF trade, and their chef beauty is in
their capacity to enable INSCRIPTIONS deal
ers to Tighten the pockets and destroy the
stornachs of the confding and consuming
public. Concerning the article of cham
payne, writer tells US that it is made from
a thousand different substapces--even re-
fined petroleum. Yes, from the fiery ben
zoles sparkling, bubling champagne can
be produced, which will delight the eye,
tickle the palate, gladden. the heart moInen-
tsrily-but quicken our PAGES toward the
gravey yard. This is new use for petroleum,
which those Who have been experimenting
with it as An agency for generating steam
have little dreamed Of who can say that
the Pensylvania oil territory, now consider
ed mostly worthless, may not some day be
regenerated into the greatest champagne
producing country iu the world.

While we agree with all that is said Of
the fitness and qualification of Mr.. Clifax

to see any force ia the claim, that he ia a

KUKLUx.-A Nashville correspondent
makes the following statement in regard to
this society Of rebel ruffiaHs :l1c-7s17d aiG,,
''The people of the North have some
knowledge of an order known as the knights
Of the Golden Circle The Kuklux is a reb-
ell organization Of similar spirit and de-
sign. The rebels in their madness and
blindness want more United State troops in
the state. They want the Governor to call
out the militia. They do not want the fran
chise law modified. Hence they encourage
the organization and operations of this Sec
ret rebel society. They have been induced
to think that johnson was going to play
the duce with Congress. and that in few
months they would be able to drive all
white men out of the state, and frighten the
negroes into complete subordinatien to their
old masters. The rebel newspapers through
out the state give the Kuklux providers all
possible encouragement, and Iaugh at the
outrages committed by them % 94.a4
A gang of these Williams surround poor
negro mans house in the still hours of the
night, break down bis door, take him out

The Second 1867 Crop.-This years crop
was more beautiful than last year but the
exact number of pounds picked cannot be
definitely ascertained, as the hops are not
yet all baled, cannot be conveniently
weighed. There were, however, from this
same yard, four acres, ], IA boxes of hops
taken, which, at the average of 104 pounds
per box, would yield IL, 802 pounds of hops;
as it is certain that the boxes would average
over rather than under 101 pounds each, /
accept it as a basis and call the crop H.
802 pounds. This amount | charge up at
56 cents per pound, because that has been
the leading price paid by dealers here this
seqson That am within bounds will be
apparent when state that 58 cents has
been offered for them and refused, and that,
when sold, owing to their extremely choice.
they will probably bring 90 cents un less

The Suicidal Cat.
An AFFECTING TALE.


There was 8 man named Ferguson.
He lived on market street.
He had a speckled Thomas cat
That couldn't well be beat;
He'd catch more rats and mice, and SIGH,
Than forty cats could eat.
This cat would come into the room
And climb upon cheer,
And there he'd sit and lick hiSself
And purr so awful queer
That Ferguson would yell at him
But still he d purr severe.
And then he'd climb the moonlit fence,
And loaf around and yowl.
And spit and claw another cat
Alongside of the jowl;
And then they both would shake their tails,
And jump around and howl.
Oh this cat Of Ferguson's
Was fearfuth to see:
He'd veil precisely like he was
In awful agony;
You'd think some first class stomach-aehs
Had struck some small baby.
And all the mothers in the street,
Walked by the horrid din,
Would rise right up and search their babes,
To find some worr, ing pin;
And still this vigorous cat would keep
A hollerin' like sin.
And az for Mr. Ferguson.
Twas more than he could bear,
And so he hurled his boot jack out
Right through the midnight air
But this vociferous Thomas cat,
Not one cent did he care.
For still he yowled and kept his fur
A standing up on end,
And his old spine doublin' up
AS far as it would bend,
AS ifhis hopes of happiness
Did on his lungs depend.
But while curvin' of his spine,
And waitin' to attack
cat upou the other fence.
There came an awful rack
And this here speckled Thomas cat
Was busted in the back.
When old Ferguson came down next day,
There lay his old feline,
And not a life was left in him,
Although he had had nine
'An this here comes - said Ferguson,
"Of curvin' of his spine"
Now all men whose tender hearts
This painful tale does rack,
Just take this moral to yourselves,
all of you, white and black:
Don't ever go, like this here cat
To gettin' upyour back.

BRIGHAM Yonngls Last Marriage

Though there is an act of Coneress
against polygamy, and the United States
maintain q court at Utah for the purpose
Of inforcing the laws, this wholesome stat
ne continues to be disrespected there by
those highest in social and ecclesiastical pcs.
ition On tho 3lst ultimo, in Great Salt
Lake City, Brigham Young was married
for the thirty FIRST time, the happy bride
being Miss Merivine Van Colt, a lady TWEEN
ty- eight years of age, daughter of Elder
Van Cott' and formerly,g while Gentle,
the wife OF Mr.. Cobb, from whom she was
duly divorced, so that she could resume
her maiden name. She is now the thirty.
first of the Mormon prophets wives not
counting those who have been emily sealed
or formally married to him for the sake
merely Of securing their salvation, since
none but married women are admitted into
the Mormon heaven. OF the previous thirty
wives. the most recent was married to Brig
ham on the 29th of January, 1858; her
name was Amelia Folsom, aud she emigrat-
ed to Utah from Council Bluffs, Iowa. She
has since presided over his establishment
and sat in the first place at the temple and
the theatre. New she resigns this distinc.
to Miss Van Colt, and becomes lost in tho
general mass of the household. The proph-
cts thirty-frst wedding festival was also
distinguished BY the marriage of his fourth
daughter, Emily, to Elder Hirman B Claw
son, whose first wife is also Mr.. Young's
oldest daughter, Alice. If the law which
we have spoken of 10 intended to DO any .
thing but dead letter, why is it not test
