Romantic Marriage Ofa Brave
Union Officer.

Brigadier-GeneraI Llewellyn F
Haskell, Of New Jersey, was married
at Orange recently. This young
soldier, who fought In the first and
last battle Of the war, who entered
the army as a private and came out
as Brigadier-General, and whose
record Of herOism is in the history OF
twenty-one pitched battles, surren.
dered at last to Miss a. Gilmore. The
marriage ceremony was unique and
beautiful. 1t was performed in Lie
wellyn Park, under an ancient pine
tree, just after sunrise. AS both
groom and bride hold extremely libe-
raj, as distinguished from orthodox,
religious views, they requested the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, who
Ofheiated, so far to respect their con-
scientiOus independence of ehurchIy
ordinances as to omit from the service
any form of words based on these.
Accordingly, after the young couple
had presented themselves on a moss
covered spot, and were circled at
close distance by their friends, the
groom clasped the brides hand, say
ing: 81 take you, Emma, for my
wife," the bride responded: "I take
you, Llewellyn, for my husband;"
and Mr.. Beecher added only these
words: "In behalf of the sentiment
Of the community in which we dwell,
and of the laws, declare, in virtue of
what you have now done, that you
are husband and wife. May the love
which has been thus declared, be
strong as these evergreens, (thrOwing
at their feet sOme evergreens and
flowers } to endure the storms and
winters of life, and as fragrant and
tender as the flowers of summer.
May God bless you'll" Their friends
then stepping forward, threw down
before the married pair many hand
fuls of dew-besprinkled offerings.
And this, together with multitude
nous, kisses and handshakings con-
clnded a ceremony which, to all who
behed it, appeared unusually simple,
graceful and beautiful.-rNew York

Hints for Dram Drinkers.


There may been seen daily, on
Chestnut street, a man clad in fault
less apparel, with a great diamond
upon his breast, vainly endeavOring to
outglitteC the magnificent sOlstaire on
his finger. In a German University
he learned chemistry, and not even
Liebig knows Il better. His Oecupa-
tioa is the mixing and the adultera-
tiOn of liquors. Give him a dozen
casks Of deOdorized alcohol, and the
next day each of them will represent
the name Of a genuine wine or a pop
uiar spirit. He enters a wholesale
drug store bearing a large basket up
on his arm. Five pounds Of Iceland
moss are frst weighed Out to him. To
raw liquors this imparts a degree of
.smoOthness, and oIeaginOus flavor that
gives to Imitation brandy theglibness of
that which is most nlatUred- An as
tringent called catechU, that would al
most close the mouth Of a glass ink

ouaces Of strychaiRe, next called for,
are quickly conveyed to the vest pOck-
et, and a pound of sulphate of zinc
(white vitriOl) Is as silently placed ia
the bottom Of the basket. The oil Of
cognac, the sUlphUric acid, and other
articles that give Gre and body to the
liquid poison, are always kept in store.

Bogus Converts.

There was great rejoicing in the
Democratic camp, the other day, over
a card which appeared in the Dayton
Ledger, to which was appended a
dozen names purporting to belong to
citizens of TippecanOe, Miami town
ship, setting forth their renunciatiOn
of the Republican faith, and their de-
termination to vote for Seymour and
Blair. The reason assigned for the
change of views was, that a negro had
committed an outrage and had not
been duly punished.
Now comes the sequel. Another
card, signed by numerous. citizens of
TippecanOe, Indignantly denies that
the alleged crime was ever before
heard of in that community, and says
that the of names attached to the Led
gers card, only four represent persons
who are, or ever have been residents
Of that town or vicinity. Of these four
three say their names were forged, and
that they will vote the Republican
ticket. The other man is in the Pen
itentiary, and circumstances will pre-
vent his voting for Seymour. The al
legged conversions to Democracy turn
out very badly this year.

Lyonnet, a French naturalist, spent
several years in examining the struct-
ure Of single insect, and left the
work unfinished, thus showing the
exceeding delicateness Of the structure.
In the body of an insect about an inch
in length, Mr.. Strauss has enumerated
three hundred and six plates, cOmpos-
ing the structure of the outer envelope;
four hundred and ninety-four muscles
for putting these in motion; twenty
four pairs of nerves to animate them,
and forty-eight pairs of trach@, or
breathing organs, equally ramified
and divided, to convey air and sus-
tenance to this complicated tissue.
We regard the common home fly as a
contemplate insect-but how impor-
tant an object Of study its structure
may be, can be learned from the fact
that its eye is one of the most singu-
lar and curiously constructed mirrors
that science has yet invented, or study
discovered. The number of lenses in
its eyes is numbered at six or seven
thOusand-in the eye of a dragon fly,
twelve thousaDd-in the eye Of a but
terfy, seventeen thousand. The
hOusehy's wings has a power of six
hundred strokes in a single second,
while the speed of a fast race horse is
but ninety feet per second-more than
a mile per minute.
The beauty Of the butterfly is pro-
verbal; but how much more intense
should be our admiration, when we
learn that it is a thing of $4,000 eyes,
and that in single wing there have
been found 100000 scales.
The wings of many insects are Of
such extreme tenuity that $4,000 of
them, placed over each other, would
not compose the thickness of quarter
of an inch /; and yet, thin as they are.
each is double, so that the actual Ia
mime here would be 100000.
We regard the web of a common
spider as the trifing excrescence OF a
disgusting insect-but it is an object
of curiosity when we reflect that each
thread is composed of 1000 threads,
and that 100000 of these small
threads would not make cord thicker
than single hair from a mans head !
There is one species of spider that
lives in water, in houses of air, like a
diving bell, and another builds a house
in the ground with door upon classic
hinges, which keeps it constantly shut.
