A man in New Haven, Conn, who
was married some months, wore a new
white satin vest on the occasion, and
put ten dollar bill in one Of the pockets,
with which to pay the officiating Gle -gy-
man. At the close Of the ceremony he
handed over the money, as he sup
posed. A few days ago, however, he
put on tue vest again to vera to party
and thrusting his fingers into the pocket,
drew out the identical bank note What
could he have given the parson on that
occasion?' He Hascertained, the next
day, that he had given him a strip of
satin two or three inches long, which the
tailor had left in the pocket Of the vest.

What Montgomery Blair

Montgomery Blair addressed ~
assemblage of ox-confedcratcs 81 Al
exandria, recently. As reported il
the Alexandria Advertiser (Domo.
cratic), he said he had differed with
them in believing that their rights
were to be sought in the Union, but
in looking at the present posture Of
affairs he was almost inclined to
think he had been wrong and the
people Of Virginia had been right.
But he did not believe thx $t95fle Of
the North would permit this Radical
rule 70 continue. Thb people OF tho
North know that in the liberty of
the South was bound up their liber.
ty, and they would rid ,themselves
from Radical rule. He Ind been 3
Union man, but he had never been
of those who abused Leo and
johnson and the other Generals of
the Confederacy. The people Of the
North know that the people Of the
South were patriotic. yhei0 had
been cause for the resistance Of the
South; if the people Of the North
had not seen it before, they begin to
sec it now; and il was for the fntnre,
in its development, TO say which side
was right"

the 14th Amendment which is now

The first thing New Jersey and

that this attempt is impotent, and
