An amusing episode of conjugal hfe is at

Madame Tote, one of the stars of the ASH

which is fIliy shared by Madame herself.
Now, as chance would have it, one fine
morning last week, one of Madame Totes
waiting maids a,piquant little blonde of
some Is summers. was preparing her mis-
tress's bath. While occupied with this
service, some demon put it into the heart
OF ner master to pass by chance through
the bathroom, Here he fingered with the
fair soubrette, vino, however, did not relish
his attentions and repulsed him. The i'm

while endeavoring TO imprint a kiss upon
the lips of the damsel he was Mortified TO
find himself grasped firmly from bekindby

bath by his vigilant spouse, who had stolen
unawares upon the scene. Antinous scran-

by the pltiless laughter Of both mistress
and maid. After donning dry garments he
departed for the country in great wrath,

the report of his speech to the Neutral

growth of the silk manufactr1re in the
United States must soon compel extensive
silk culture in, this, country. The manu-
factuFe of sewing silk in New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut has alrea nearly
driven the French and Italian threads from
the market Hartford. Mansfield and
Manchester, in Connecticut, Hoboken and
Paterson, in New, Jersey, and Troy, 'Yon-
hers and this city, in New York, are the
seats OF extensive seving-ailk factories, and
IN Manchester, Connecticut, Paterson, New
Jersey, and in or two other places, silk
ribbons are now made which are nearly as
good as the best foreign articles, and, it is
said, cheaper. 1t IL stated that there are
ffty Establishments IN this city engaged in
the manufacture of silks in its various
stages. though the most of these factories
are quite small. The oldest and largest
establishment in the country is in Manches-
ter, Connecticut. 1t employs one thousand
hands, and is now making dress silks and
other wide goods, as well as thread and
ribbons. The, establishment of large co.
cooneries not only in California, but in the
south. will soon become profitable bust

CADIz, o., Aug. 4-Our usually ouiet
town was this morning the scene of the
eonsummation Of an afake d amo,v which,
for romantic interest, could scarcely be
equaled. The interesting couple were
working in the harvest field when the
idea penetrated their minds that. while
away from the surveillance of the parents
watchful eyes, they could have the few
mystic words spoken that should make
them one. Single blessedness had lost
its charms for them, and acting upon the
suggestion, they forthwith took up
their march on foot for this place.

appeared in the august presence of the vii
lage Squire. in bashfal trepidation, md
made known their anxiety to have the GER
emony performed quickly, as they had no
time to lose. The Squire being weigh
master, they were married ON the hay
scales. The bride was gracefully attired
IN the habliments of the bayfield,. and hid
her blushing face behind paste board sun
bonnet, while the groom's appearance was
strikingly awkward. Z" -

A New and Novel Hotel,

Everybody in Chicago has heard of "Anderson's
Dining Rooms. at No. l51 Dearborn street. and
nearly everybody has at time or another visit
ed them IN search OF something reviving TO the
inner man. The unequaled success of this late
establishment may BE inferred from the fact that il
has for long time past been feeding average of
l,6OO persons per day. Such has been the
encouragement to the Messrs. Anderson that enlarp
ing upon their original idea, they have determined
upon developing their dining-rooms into a spacious
hotel, conducted upon the European plan. To this
end, they have for few weeks past, been refitting
the entire large building, and metamorphosing il
into such hotel as has been mentioned As at
present arranged, the kitchen and dining-room is
upon the lower floor, while the three upper floors
are devoted to parlors and sleepng-roOns of which
latter there are % in all. The several floors and
rooms are fitted up and furnished in tie most neat
and tasteful manner, and adjoining them are all the
necessary conyeniences of any hotel. At this hotel
person may procure a room for one night or two
nights, or more, at 81 per night, and may at the
same time get his meals where he chooses. The
army of persons who have been in the habit of
boarding here, as restaurant, will Sill be accom-
modated as heretofore. The Mcssrs Anderson had
brilliant opening, last evening" at which a large
and brilliant company did hearty Justice TO the
excellence of the fare set before them. Tho open
ing for business takes place on Monday evening"

ebrated Merchants Gargling Oil, and of
the enterprise md successful business
management of our respected towhsman
John Hodge, Esq, the st. Louis Weekly
Dispatch of July 3lst, speaks as follows:
No better reputation has attended the
manufacture OF any article or compound In
this country than that of the Merchants
Gargling Oil, which has now come into
general use throughout the United States
and to-day stands upon Its own merit as a
Imminent enjoying the full confidence of the
public. lis name has become world wide
and the cures effected by it on both man
and beast, ARE witnessed wherever it is used.
This medicine, possessing in a high degree
the properties of an anodyne and restora-
tive, has q wonderful influence over many
painful diseases, and its efficacy TO heal is
attributed to the chemical combination of
the choice ingredients Of which it is COM
posed. .tu.fl 4f.f.
1t was in Lockport that the discovery of
this medicine was made, and there il has
arisen from infancy to good old age, fos-
tered by the many satisfactory results aris-
lug IRON It's use. IL has stood the test for
upward of thirty years, and stands to-day
mistaken as the rock, its foundation being
built upon actual testimonials of the cures
it has performed upon both man and beast.
The demands for /. has been steadily in
creasing for years, and notwithstanding
the breaking out of the late war, which
cut off large demand from the southern
States, it's spread in the North made its
sale more extensive than before,
and now as the Southern
States are again open to the commercial
world, in addition to the OLE ones, it has
gained many new customers In that section
of the country. Not alone to the healing
qualities Of this medicine is its success at
tributable, although its popularity has
been gained only by a thorough test.
Such a business requires skillful manage
ment, and to our respected friend, John
Hodge, Esq, Secretary of Merchants Gar
Cling OilCompany, belongs to a very large
extent the credit of its unlimited success.
His untirirg energy, unsurpassed business
qualifications, has won for him not only
the esteem of all those with whom he deals,
but through his exertions the credit of the
business has been maintained and has
grown in greatness, and will continue SO
to do while under his control. Lock- port

commenced business for himself with little

average Of men. He is plain, home-spun
farmer--tall, good-looking. free and easy in
manners, without the least particle of style
in words or acts.
It is interesting to watch the movements
of saoh man at Springfield or Chicago,
among the popin jays and self-constituted
leaders OF society who are greatly elevated
in their own conceit. Mr.. Alexander has
been tanning in Illinois goodmany years,
and has been very successful. ID, His farms

under improvement This is about one

that is the fact that the young as we'll as

more than anything else-have much to
say OF manufacturers, lawyers, preachers,

The Unity of ifsury Laws.

The memorial of the Philadelphia Board
Of Trade. to Congress, printed in the House
Documents Of $3.50, gives a very full treat
mcnt to the subject of usury laws, and sums
up, in substance, thus
LIST. That in Holland there have been no
usury laws for l75 years, and in England
none since 1864.
I'd, That it is impossible TO enforce the
laws against usury, such laws merely ham
per trade.
I'd. That there is a natural rate of interest
for money, which varies with the supply and
demand; which, again, depend upon the
profits upon money employed in other ways
than lending.
fth. That the restriction upon the rate ol
money has tendency to drive capital away
| to countries where it is allowed to earn It's
natural return.
9TH. That the usury laws tend to raise the
rate of interest by the cost of the nd litlopal
risk, or expense incurred in breaking or eva
ding the law and by the fact, that the GUAM
tity of money employed in lending, is dimin-
| ished by the operation of the law.
It shows, further, from the experience of
countries which have been relieved from the
restriction, that,
LIST. The banks are able to discount all
good paper offered in times of difficulty. Ex-
ccssive offerings are checked by raising the
rate. and not by an arbitrary rejection OF
paper.
I'd. That, in time of great pressure, fewer
failures occur than had happened in similar
| emergencies before the change, inasmuch as
capital is now permitted to flow freely to the
points 0i the most intense pressure.
