SECRET MARRIAGE AND THE IRA
 ~GIC RESULT.

| F.
 The Springfield qllinois) Adoertiser tell
 the following
 For many months young gentleman
 known to the citizens of Springfield, pait
 his attentions to you:g lady who occu pied position in a neighboring town sev
 eral degrees more elevated socially thar
 hls own. The youth, being of good per sonal appearance, and withal an excellent conversatlonalist, succeeded in engagina
 the affections of the young lady to an ex
 tent that nothing could satisfy except mat rlmony. The postoffice had for time done It's duty, as postoffices always do in such matters, and many were the long and doubtless, tender messages that passed be tween the loving two, protected by the eff. hclent care of their dear uncle from the prylng eyes of those who would have given something nice to have known what was going on;
 The lady knew that her papa and ma- ma would never consent to the union of two loving hearts, with their parents mine of wealth lying between them, and so she readily consented to the young mans pro- position to be married on the sly;' and all l unknown to the folks, while she was on a visit to some of her relatives at Columbus her charmer called and the marriage took place. After brief honeymoon in the capital city of Ohio, she returned to her nome, but her husband dld not return with her.
 ''From the time of the daughters arrival home, the old people fancied they could near strange noises in the house. Steps were often heard upon the stairs in the lone still hours of night. Various articles of furniture moved mysteriously about in the room above, apd. the. cid Jqataat]a.snzc ene house was haunted, or that something was wrong. One night, after all had retired, the parents not only distinctly heard upon the landing place above. Armed with a horse pistol that had done good service in pioneer times, the father left his bed, and quietly approached the foot of the stairs, where he found, resting upon the lower step, pair of boots. At once he set up the cry of thieves. robbers, mur- der,' that in twinkling bought every member of the household to the scene except his daughter.
 All hands then proceeded cautiously to the young lady's room, and not being able to arouse her, they broke open tho door just in time to see Q bootless man dive through the window. The old gentleman rushed to the opening, discharged his pis tol. and the young man dropped to the ground. Great heavens! you have killed my husband! exclaimed the daughter, fall ing back and fainting upon the bed. Your husband?' cried all in breath, and then rush of domestics for the yard below.
 "The young man was found upon the ground beneath the window, carried into the house, and the old people, frantic with grief and fear, promised to receive him to their hearts if lie would only live. The doctor soon arrived. and having dressed a slight flesh wound upon his arm: pronoun- ced him in no danger. He has now recov.. cred, and is one of the happiest men within fifty miles of Springfield

POISONED BY PAPER CoLLARs.-The La
 con Home Journal says that Judge Bangs,
 of that place, 'swho, for some time has been
 under medical treatment, at the Kenosha water cure, says his disease was caused by wearing paper collars, into the composition of which arsenic largely enters." Such cases are much more common than is gen. orally supposed. The arsenic is used to give the high glossy polish on what are known as glazed" collars. This polish the precipitation of the neck dissolves, and the poison is absorbed, producing in some cases only an unsighly .blotch, and in others frightful swelings. and throat complaints. We know one young, man in this town whose throat and vocal organs were seri, eusly effected from this cause. The unglaz ed collars are free from this trouble. e.-Peo

VAL1ANDIGHAM ON NEW HAMPSHIRE The result of the election in New Hamp- shire, yesterday, again proves the lesson of all history, that in unsettled and revolu- tionary times, in all countries, and perhaps at all times, in a young, growing, vigorous country like ours, the bold party is the one which wins. And it is our deliberate con- victioa that the prompt impeachment, on the one hand, of Andrew Johnson, and on the other, the sweet alacrity with which he submitted, trusting in "God, the people and the courts" but without "keeping his powder dry," or making any preparation before even trying to provoke Congress to battle-unless, indeed, it was he bought that nitro -glycerine in New York-turned the scale, and gave to the republicans the victory in New Hampshire. Last summer and fall, hesitancy, ''policy,'' and dissen- sion characterized the republican party, as boldness, earnestness, and harmony did the democracy, and we were victorious ev- cry where Since October and November, the picture has every where been reversed. Unity and audacity again characterized the republicans, and timidity and policy the democrats. The senatorial election in Ohio; the senatorial election in Kentucky; the refusal of the Maryland legislature to seat; the triumph of the New York World politicians in the national democratic com mittee; the inaction of the Ohio legisla- ture, and various. other similar circumstan- ces, indicate that the democratic party, just now. is not the unterrifed democracy" of " Old Hickory's' time.-Dayton Ledger.

ARE WOMEN INvENTIvE?-Mrs. Caroline H. Dall answers this question in new pre- face to the second edition of her College, Market and Court. She says: ' The ques- ton of the patent is not a question to ar que, but fact to prove or disprove. l have assisted many women to procure patents and then cites the case of one woman who has an agent in Boston to manage the business growing out of six of her own patents. In three years these patents brought her twenty five thousand dollars, and she constantly employs two hundred girls
 Mrs. Dall quietly observes, in addition: |" I know nothing of the value of the pat ent; but know something of the value of the woman"

 .., Vinegar, I suppose he remarked with 8 sly smile.
 "'I suppose so,' gaspsd in reply.
 "He applied his nose to the cork and shook his head, then asked me to smell it Good heavens it was brandy!
 "There was broad grin on the face oj every bystander when this discovery was announced, as it was, plainly enough. by my disconnected looks and the covert iron v of the officers smile. Imagine my feel ings-the feelings of respectable clergy man of the Church of England-on find ing that the box for the innocence of whose contents had been so ready to vouch, contained 8 two-gallon stone jar of bran dy! can hardly remember now what I did or said in my modification or rage. I know that indignantly refused to pay the duty, and saw the contraband article con fiscated by the officers with fierce satisfac- 1 tion and malignant glee. I was almost afraid to return to my pSotegee, lest nv wrath should boil over and cause me to say something the reverse of polite. However. went back to her, and by miracle of 1 self-possession succeeded in keeping my countenance unmoved as politely handed her the keys, whilst l said, not without some severity in my tone
 "t Pardon me, madam, had there been nothing oontrahand in your trunks, the keys would not have been needed; but as it is, your brandy has been confscated by the revenue officers. And, added, with pardonable malice, 'i it is not improbable that I shall be charged with endeavoring to pass smuggled goods, and be fined accord ingly.'
 She became very rcd in the face when I had finished stammareda dacd o5t soms SC words of apology. But had not patience to wait for this I felt my repressed choler get ting the better of me; SO took off my hat, wished her goodbye, and pleasant jour ney, and turned upon my heel. And if ever you catch nae endangsring my reputa- tion again by making promises for people I don't know, I'll give you leave to put me in the stocks.

The Memphis Avalanche, utterly surpris- ed and disgusted with the result of the re- cent election in that city, soundly berates the negroes for deceiving the Democratic Managers. The Memphis Post says;
 "The attempt of Conservative employ CTS in Memphis, by prescription and want, to drive the colored people into voting at 1 their beck and dictation, asso many slaves, has forced the latter to resort to all manner of deception and concealment. They could not meet force with force, and they adopted the usual strategy of weakness. If this recourse is not to be apphuded, it is at least very human, and should have been anticipated by the would be Rebel masters. Such was the complaisance of colored men when compelled to talk politics with their employers, that the Conservatives were confident of victory at the late election. Many colored sharpers, finding the weak side of the Conservative leaders, under the plea of electioneering for them, bled them freely. Sheriff Winters was, perhaps, else. So completely did the colored men bamboozle him that he frequently boasted he would carry 8 majority of their votes. Tom Avant, under his auspices, opened 8 saloon in the basement, under the Criminal Court room, where he dispensed to his col ored brethren Conservative whiskey and cheer freely, and without regard to cost. It was largely resorted to, and great results were predicted. The Conservative lead CTS, however, have found that from their efforts to shear what they took for sheepish fools, that they have come home shorn. Laid out cold on Saturday, they have had a sorrowful waking. The colored men drank their whiskey, danced to their fid- dlers, and filled their pockets with the ene- my's money. But out of colored vote of 4, 400, the Conservatives received less than loo! ...
 Some of the colored men by whom the Conservative candidates were taken in and done for, have been to them whining sym pathetically over their misfortunes, and af- forwards come to us telling their game and laughing at their victims The Aua- lanche thus expresses the feeling and indig- nation of the sufferers as follows:
 a On the day of election only about 100 negroes voted for the Conservative ticket! Still about l, ,000 are now seeking employ ment on account of their devotion to the Conservative cause. If the Conservative party had been triumphant in the late elec- tion, there would have been five thousand negroes claiming employment of those vo- ting the Conservative ticket; but. being defeated, only about one thousand claim employment of Conservatives, when only one hundred voted the Conservative ticket! These facts speak badly for the negroes. It shows treaehery, deceit and fraud on the part of our colored voters. Webb and Wardlow and Gilbert and Eli and Parham and Delap are all true, but their friends are treacherous. One hundred negroes vo- ted the Conservative ticket, and these one hundred cost us fee Mousand dollars. Stand by the Conservative negro, but these are few. L.rl5 :, +,. ---
