HYDRoPHoBIA.-It has been deemed singular
that hydrophobia-a ma,ady which is popu-
larly ascribed to that season! of the year known
as the g dog days should be so prevalent in
the middle of February, but theorists are
not wanting who assert that it is as liable to
occur at one season as at another, and that
there is no fixed law regulating it-nothing, in
fact, bu. the inclination or disposition of
the canine tribe. The prevalent theory now
is, that The malady occurs most frequently in
seasons of prolonged damp weather, but this
theory seems rather to be made to support
present facts, than to be founded en- previous
experience. Long Island has been especially
affected by the horrible disease or malady no
less than thirty mad dogs having been killed
during the past month, and several deaths
having occurred from the disease.

Mark Of a Gentleman

No man is gentleman, who, without
pTovocation, would treat with lnciyility the
humblest Of his species. L is vulgarity
for which no accomplishment of dress or
address can ever atone. Show US the man
who desires to make every one around him
happy, and whose solicilude is Fever to
give cause of offense to any one. and we
will show you a gentleman by nature and
by practice, though be may never have
worn broadcloth, nor ever heard Of lex
icon. We are proud to say for the honor
of our species. there are men in every throb
of whose hearts there is a solicitation for
the welfare of mankind, and whose very
breath is perfumed with kindness.

worthy of the highest praise. The suffer

who have gone among them are loud in their
praise of the courteous and friendly NJ amer
with which they are received. The lands
of the Southern States are. for the most
part, very fertile, and the genial climate is
in marked contrast with the frigid, icy
winters of North. There is ample room
for Northern farmers in the Gulf States,

A Modern Romance-The Marriage
ola Royal Prince 60 = Merchants
Daughter.

One OF those events which occasionally
transpire to assert, in the most emphatic
manner, the leveling spirit Of the age,
occurred on Saturday In this city. This was
no less than the marriage Of Prince OF the
ancient and conservative House of Bourbon
to the daughter Of a Cuban merchant. The
story-a most romantic one-ls as follows!
Some three or fonr years ago, Mrs. Hamil,
the wife a well-known merchant In Havana,
left that city to place her daughter in a
school in Paris. They stopped for some
time In this city, having rooms at Delmon-
| ico's, and made many warm friends wherever
they were known. The daughter, possessed
Of more than ordinary complishments and
personal charms, attracted much attention
| among the best society OF the CAV capital.
She was received in the most exclusive cir
Giles, and IL Is said was frequent guest at
the Imperial Court. Among the many distin-
guished gentlemen who paid her their court
was Prince Louis dc Bourbon, sou Of Louis,
Count d'Acquilla, one Of the chief members
OF the Bourbon family. The Prince proposed
to her and was accepted, under the mothers
sanction, but when Count d Acqullla learned
the attention of his son. his pride reyolted at
what he and others ofroyal blood considered
| n mesalliance, and he not only forbade the
match, but used his influence with the En-
peror to induce the latter to discountenance
| II should the Prince seek his support. The
lovers, in company with the lady's mother,
\ then determined to go to England and there
| fulfill the marriage, but the father inter-
fered, and succeeded In preventing them
| from carrying 1t out. Amer more than one
| disappointment from the refusal Of the
Catholic clergy to perform the ceremony,
the Prosecuted ones determined to proceed 10
the United Statea, where they hoped TO find
no difficulty In fulfilling their contract but
even In this free country the influence of con-
servatism prevailed so far that the Catholic
clergy still declined to have anything to do
In the matter. However, a marriage accord
ing to the civil rights of the country was
| contaminated on Saturday evening last, and
thus all opposition and persecution was
overcome. This marriage, although, per-
haps, 1t would not be acknowledged among
the crowned heads Of Europe, Is perfectly
legal In the United States and all Protestant
| countries, and as such 1t will never be dis.
puted. The Prince, IL is understood, should
his family still prove obdurate, is prepared
to renounce his rights as one of the royal
house Of Bourbon, and will content himself
| with the possession Of his beautiful wife,

The repeal Of the law finds favor with the
country, not on account Of popular distrust
of the Senate as now composed, but because
in time to come the body will surely be in
opposition to the President, the House and
the country, as 1t has often been heretofore.
