I,aictinr summary Punishment.

In the southern part Of the city n
young merchant t~ransacts business, and
resides with his wife and family. Some
weeks since he became acquainted at a
party in this city, which his wife did
not attend, with a young girl attending
school in u neighboring town, and dur
ing the evening bestowed upon her more
than ordinary attention. He represented
to her that he was q single man, ard
being possessed of that quality OF impu-
dence which is too frequently palmed
off for wit, and q stock of brass exceed
ing the quantity in his shop, he sue
ceedcd in imposing upon q simple school
girl, and in leading her to believe him
q gentleman. The acquaintance was
formed during her vacation, after which
she returned to school, but not to her
studies. The effect of their ~acquaint-
ance was to cause her TO think more OF
the young man than she should ever
have thought, at her age, of n more
worthy her esteem. \ correspondence
was opened between them, he supplying
her with express-envelopcs for the pur-
pose, and theii epistolary communica-
ton was frequent. 4 few days since he
visited her at the school and by mutual
agreement introduced himself as her
brother. Fortunately for the young
girl, n school mate saw anu recognized
the fellow, and gave information to the
teacher. The case was reported to the
girls relatives, and the whole matter
brought to light upon the Investigation
which followed.
On yesterday morning, 4 gentleman
relative of the young girl called upon
the deceiver, Mt his place of business,
and Intercepted him upon his conduct.
He could give no explanation, and
when asked hi, motive in the course ho
had pursued, replied Stammeringly that
he "didn't know" The gentleman then
produced q cowhidc from under his
coat and proceeded 20 lay it over the fell
lows shoulders, until, screeching
with pain, he ran out of the back en-
trance of his store, followed by his as
s~ailant, and into q milliner's shop next
door, where he sought protection of the
women there employed. He was not
pursued to this retreat; but the gentle
man calmly wound up his cowhidc,
slowed it in his pocket, and quietly
walked away, under the conviction that
the marks which ho had imprinted up
on the countenauce OF the false hus-
band and would-be seduccr, would
teach him a lesson by which he would
DO likely to profits. F.. Herald, Sd.

How We ARB DRAWING Bullion Dot
LARS FRoN EURoPE.-Mr. Banks told us
last winter that, since 1890, the Euro
pean States have furnished this country
with upwards Of $500 900 of their citi-
zens, who, with their descendants, now
number above 90, 900, 900. The annual
average at present is not less than 3O0,-
900 persons. Mr.. Banks puts it at $50.
900. By actual investigation it has
been ascertained that the emigrant
brings between $50 and 500 with him
for every man, woman and child. We
have, then, thirty millions, of specie
mostly, added to the national money
resources, and Owe seysnty-fre millions
brought in by the emigration from jan
nary LIST, 1861, to the close Of 1864, or
over sixty millions at the minimum rate
of $50 per capita. But we must look
further than the money value of the
emigrant, and consider his productive
capacity. The emigrant is certainly
equal to the Southern negro in this re-
spect, and the average production Of
the latter, even under the incubus OF
slavery, was set down at $500 per head
per annum At this rate our annual
emigration would add one hundred and
hity millions q year to the cash value of
The country. Assuming that from 1865
to 1870 the annual average emigration
would only reach $50, 900 persons, we
have as the result one billion added 10
the national cash value for the current
dccade.-N. Y. World.

\ LOVER IN A CL0SEr.-A short time
since IL very cnterprisiug young mer-
chant, who is the happy possossOr Of a
wife us beautiful rs heart could desire,
had occasion to visit Mobile. He was
gone but II week, and returned soonc
than expected. Reaching home at an
hour when the gray of the morning was
mingling with the shades Of night, he,
OF course, found the family nil in bod.
Proceeding directly to his wifc's apart
ment, he raped for admission, ut the
same time announcing who he was. At
the mention of his name he thought he
detected u smothered exclamation Of
surprise A; and then some M got hur-
riedly from tho bed and sought refuge
in n closet adjoining his bedroom. All
this he heard distinctly as he waited in
the cold, with the demon Of jealousy
Juggling away at his heart. There was
some one IN his wife's room. There
could be no doubt of that and that
some one had sought refuge in the
closet was eqaRlly clear. Who else
could 1t be than q lover? Mad with
jealousy, furious aud indignant, he
could scarcely wait for the door to be
opened, when he burst into the room
and made for the closet. His wife in
terfercd and begged that be shouldn't
open the door coucealing this disturber
Of domestic peace. He dashed her aside
furiously, but she chung to the tails Of
his coat. The strain made upon those
useful a~ppendages at last compelled
them to give way, aud the angry bene-
dict threw wide open the door OF the
closet; and 10 /! instead of the cunning
libertine, his astonished eyes rested
upon one of the prettiest girls imagin-
able. She was passing the night with
his wife and, trying to avoid meeting
him in dishabille, brought about a
rather embarrassing denouemcnt. The
gentleman, however, it may be ms well
to state, prosecuted his searches no
further, and, instead, made a hasty re-
treat.

THE ApJoURSMEST.-The Legislature
of this State adjourned at II o'clock
last night. Tho Carson appeal thus
refers to the closing cenes
Among the pleasant incidents Of the clos
ing hours Of the Senate was the presentation,
by Senator Monroe, to Lieutenant Governor
Siingerland, in behalf Of the Democratic
members Of the Senate, Of a superb and
valuable gold watch chain inlaid with quartz
specimens. The presentation was hand
somely made by Mr.. Monroe and gracefully
responded to BY the Lieutenant Governor.
The latter having acknowledged himself
"chained" by the Democrats, Senator Tritle
arose and made a neat little speech, which he
wittily concluded by saying that inasmuch as
the Democrats had "chained" the Licuten-
ant Governor it was best that he should be
"watchcd" by the Republicans; and suiting
the action to the word, he handed his time
piece over to the blushing President Of the
Senate.
The more serious business Of legislation
was in,crsperscd with an abundance Of With.
cisms and mirth.provoking incidents; and
the Legislature adjourned at midnight, salts
fed to return to the bosom OF their conssitu-
cnts,

A Delicate Question.

A queer case has been submitted
to Gen. Spinner, United States
Treasurer, for en- opinion. 1t seems
that litigation is going on in one
Of the Prussian Courts where !he
question Of consideration turns up
on the genuineness Of certain Con-
fsGerate Treasury notes. One par
ty holds that they are counterfeit,
while the other maintains that they
are genuine, and, therefore, a con-
sideration according to the terms
Of the contract. A specimen of
the notes has been submitted to
Gen. Spinner through Baron &C.
rolt, the North German Ambassador,
Tor a decision rs to whether they
are genuine OF not. He is of the
opinion that the specimen submitted
is q genuine issue of the Confederate
Treasury, but he declines to have
his opinion considered as evidence
in the matter The question now
arises, who can give competent evi-
dence of the genuineness OF these
notes, and, if genuine, what is their
market value in Germany?

Tho Darkey and ais title.


Some time since, IN Mississippi,
a venerable darkey. who had been
led to believe that with his free
dom he was to receive forty acres
lof land and a mule, applied to the
head carpet-bagger Of a freedmen's
buiean for his ticket to vote, his
mule, and the title to bis real es-
tate, wheresoever it might be-.
He voted the ticket given him.
and was given four little sharp
ened stakes, two feet long, paint
ed like young barber poles, and,
told to select his forty acres any
where.
For this certificate of freedom
he was asked ten dollars by the a.
gent. But the darkey had but
four dollars and seventy-fve cents.
So TIE loyal keeper of the new
men and brothers compromised
for this amount and the brushing
Of his clothes and boots.
After the work was finished and
the money raid,. the. agent gave.
him the sticks or stakes, and a re-
ceipt for the pre-emption money,
to show in case there should be
any trouble about locating the,
land.
Thr darkey found on a planta-,
ton near by, forty acres, more or
less, and drove his stakes. The.
owner came out to, know why
these things were thus, when the
darkey told him. it was all right,
that be purchased the land Of the
Government, and had the bill IN
his pocket.
"Let us see ii" said the planter.
''Here she is, boss, replied the
triumphant son of Ethiopia, haul
ing forth a half sheet of legal cap,
On which was written;
Know ALL MEN BY THESE PRES.

Over and over again,
No matter which way / turn,

Some lessons have to learn.

1 must grind out the golden grain,
/ must work at my task with resolute will
Over and over again.
We cannot measure the need
Of even the tiniest flower
Nor check the flow of golden sands
That run through single hour.
But the morning dew must fall,
And the sun and summer rain
Must do their part and perform it all

Over and over again
The brook through the meadow flows,
And over and over again
The ponderous mill wheel goes.
Once doing will not suffice
Though doing be net in vain,
And blessing, failing us once or twice
May come if we try again.
The path that has once been trod
Is never so rough to feet;
And the lesson we once have learned
Is never so hard to repeat.
Though sorrowful tears may fall,
Aud the heart to its depths be driven
With storm ana tempest, we need them all
To render US meet for Heaven.

lowed closely by the person most in
terested in the result of this inyesti
CATION. The semi.circle Of seats
arranged like those of an ampithea.
ire, was we'll filled with professional
spectators.
On long table below lay an out
stretched form, covered with a white
cloth from head 10 foot. The Pro-
fessoI bad evidently been talking a
few minutes to his class, and was
just getting ready to Illustrate, prsO-
ticalIy, bis subject. On the other
side of the corpse several cases of
instruments we're arranged, and two
assistants stood by with aprons on
and sleeves rolled back.
The order to remove the covering
from the corpse was given, and as the
cloth rolled back, exposing the face
and bust of a female, an exclama-
ton was heard which sent a thrill
of terror through the assembly, and
blanched the Professors face With
fear.
"Great God my wife !"
A wild and tumultuous scene
followed. The frantic husband
rushed TO the table, pistol in hand,
and, recovering the exposed face
of the corpse, threatened with instint
death whoever should again uncOV-
er or touch it. The lecturer and
his class were not disposed to dis
pute the claim thus set up, and
rushed pell nell from the apartment.
Afew words complete the story
The rifed grave once more received
its original occupant, and for many
months o constant watch was kept
over it. Legal proceedings were
commenced against the medical in
stitution. but the affair was COM

tial, had that punishment COM
muted to perpetual reduction to

now on duty in Halifax. His

this brings him cOnspicuously for

The Rochester Chronicle says
that the economy of old ladies'
who have never tasted of the
sweets Of matrimony Is proven
bal. One of this class, resident
of down-east village, was seen
on several occasions to carefully
gather up and put away for safe
keeping all the Radical papers
which she could lay her hands on.
Upon being asked the reason for
this species of frugality and her
apparent affection for this class of
publications, she replied that she
used them for making soap, as
suring her listener that they were
superior to wood-ashes for that
purpose inasmuch as they were
all pure and unadulterated lye.

Walking With Ladies.

Only villagers or persons with
rural ideas any longer contend
that ladies should always be CIV
en- the inside of the pavement in
passing. The rule adopted in
cities is to turn to the right,
whether the right leads to the
wall or to the gutter, and an OBJ
servance of this common sense
rule would obviate much unpleas-
ant "scrouging" by over-gallant
gentlemen, who persistently
crowd for the outside of the walk.
Another common custom, and re-
quired by fashionable etiquette,
and one which is nearly as mex
plicable and absurd as the prac-
tice of a whole string of men FL
ing out Of a church pew, making
themselves as ridiculous as an
awkward squad" practicing at
Catching STEP" in order to give
a woman the wrong end of a pew,
is that of a man, when on a prom
enade or walk with a lady, to keep
himself on the outside of a pave
ment. A little exercise of judg-
ment will convince any person of
the utter uselessness of this bob
bing back and forth at every cor
ner. The common rule is this:
If a man and woman are, walk.
ing she should always be at bis
right arm, whether it be toward
the inside or outside of the walk
then the woman will not be
showed against the passers.

Cling to Those who Cling to
You.

There are many friends of summer
Who are kind when flowers bloom,
But.when winter chills the blossoms
They depart with the perfume;
On the broad highway of action
Friends of worth are far and few,
So when one has proved his friendship,
Cling to him who clings to you.
Do not harshly judge your neighbor,
Do not deem his life untrue,
If he makes no great pretensions,
Deeds are great though words are few;
Those who stand amid the tempest
Firm as when the skies are blue,
Will be friends while life endureth-
Cling to those who cling to you.
When you see worthy brother
Buffeting the stormy main,
Lend ahelping hand fraternal
Till he reach the shore again
Don't desert the old and tried friend
When misfortune comes in view,
For he then needs friendships comfort
Cling to those who cling to you.

Flynn jumped only ten feet three
inches. A last leap was called
for, and Flynn cleared ten feet
seven inches. Excitement was

The marble recently discovered
in immense quantities on Little
Hurricane creek, near Tullahama,
Tenn, is described as somewhat
resembling the East Tennessee
marble, with the exception that
the figures, lines, or grains or what
ever you choose to call them are
finer and more closely joined than
any other Tennessee marble. Its
color is gray, mixed with small
red particles in some of the specl-
mems, while others have a blush
appearance. These different
shades, particularly the red ones,
are said to be reflections from the
fragments of shells contained IN
the marble.
