his girl the other night, and when be

ended by some one in the rear, who gave
the Chinese lantern kick that sent it

The First and Last Kiss.

Thy lips are quiet and thine eyes are still,
Cold, colorless, and sad thy placid face,
Thy form has only now the statues grace
My words wake not thy voice, nor Can they
fill
Thine eyes with light. Before fate's mighty
will
Our wills must bow; yet for little space
sit with thee and Death in this lone place,
And hold thy hands that are SO white and
chill.
l always loved thee, which thou didst not
know,
Though well he knew whose welded love
thou vert;
Now thou art dead may raise up the fold
That hides thy face. and. by thee bending low,
For the first time and last before we part,
Kiss the curved lps,-calm, beautiful, and
cold.
-Pniip Bomke Marston.

ph-re was so misty that the gas!ights
and many-c0lOred illuminators in Had

tle. Over a thousand thiniy-clad girls
lined the sidewalks of the street, vainly
eGdearcrlny TO secure passage up
town. The cars, trimming with passen
gers, were twisted of their tracks in
every direction. In fact, the tracks
could not be found SwItc6men were
digging in the snow, but seemingly
with Etrle prospect OF success. Double
teams had beea fu nished, but for 3
time they we're of no avail. The con-

sengers because they would not get
out and lend their aid in getting the
cars under headway. a group of fifty
persons would besieSe a single ear, in
the vain hope OF securing Il foothold

shop girls crouched under their unbrel.

anxious interest. For hours this jam

were compelled TO walk miles through |

The same scenes were enacted in Vesey |
street and in front of st Pau!s Church. !
The SIKH and Eight avenue cars were

A CURIOUS MARRIAGE LAVA curious
case has been brought to the notice Of the
State Department, by resolution Of the
the Illinois Legislature, which will un-
doubtedly give rise to considerable diplo-
matte correspondence, at least, between
this Government and those Of Wurtem-
berg and Bavaria. 1t appears that some
forty years ago member OF the royal
family having left Wurtemberg TO marry
in opposition to the royal will, law was
enacted declaring all marriages Of the sub
jects OF that State, when contracted abroad,
to be nun and void. A similar law was
also enacted in Bavaria.
A case has now for the first time arisen
where a marriage in the United States has
been pronounced illegal under this law.
Not long since, the widow Of naturalized
citizen OF Illinois, and native Of Bavaria,
returnd to that conutry to claim an inher-
itance bequeathed TO her husband, when
she was informed that the Government Of
Bavaria recognized no marriages in the
United States as valid, 80 far as they re-
lated to Bayarian citizens, and she was
compelled to drop the name Of her hus-
band and take her maiden name, thus yir-
tualIy declaring her children ilIegitimate,
and herself an adnlteress. II is undoubt-
edly the duty Of this Government TO have
the obnoxious laws repealed Immediately,
or at least rendered imperative as far as
they relate to American citizens

business. They have no authority over
their men, and the discipline is universally
of the laxest description. What would b.
still more fatal to the body, considered a,
an army, is that they have scarcely any
organization they stand in no particular
relation to the regular army or to the mi
litia, and if ten thousand Of them were
collected together, they could not march
hundred miles for want of commissariat.
They would be simply large body Of ex-
cursionists. What we have is simply two
hundred thousand men possessing tolera-
bic knowledge of drill, and well skilled in
the use of the rife. They are the raw
material, but not the manufactured army.

PozZoLASA, OR PULZoLASA, is the name
of the article of cement lately discovered on
Molokai, and not as il was, by typographical
error, spelled last week. II has been de-
scribed BY various authors, during the last
century, as one Of the best fire proof, and
hydraulic eemsnts. Some French Architects
have thought it so superior, that they have
attempted to produce it artiieially, by ealein-
ing pure clay at the great heat of lSo0'
Fahrenheit. Nature has saved these Islands,
that expense, by pouring it out from her hot
ter furnaces, the volcanoes of MoIokaL
This material is found abundantly in the
neighbornood of Pozzala, and of Rome, in
Italy, 1t is formed of volcanic ashes, and
has been used extensively in hydraulic works
on the Continent and in England. German
builders particularly speak of it as "the best
cement" Gwilt, an English writer on
Architecture, says, 'It suddenly hsrdens
when mixed with one third of its weight OF
lime and water, forminga cement more durS-
bic under water than any other.n 1t is

some recomend one third common mortar,
Others, one fourth fresh Stacked lime; all
speak of its hardening properties under
water, and its resistance TO fire.
On MolOkai, as in Italy, it is of various
colors, from red to gray A writer says.
THE ashes which overwhelmed Pompeii,
now form an immense bed of Puzzolana."
1t certainly is profitable, in more ways than
one, to exhume the old city Bergman's
analysis finds it composed OF s. or 60 per
cent of silicious earth, 19 10 20 Of argilla-
cious earth, 5 or 6 of calcareous earth, and
from Is to 20 Of iron. 1t is said TO harden BY
the long continued action of water without
lime. Such is not the case on MolOkai.
though We can readily conceive that it might
in sea water, which contains more lime than
the waters Of these Islands.
Ii Is used in making tubes and pipes, and
would prove invaluable in the manufacture
of eouduits for water Authors do not speak
of its being used as paint for the protection
Of iron, or other substances from rust, and it
is doubtful whether it would prove suffi-
ciently penetrating TO answer the purpose of
coating piles.
The ancient Romans called it the Pow
der of Puteoli," and used it very extensively
in building their houses in the shallow
waters of their Bays. Even in that early
time il was regarded as the best cement, and
has stood the wear OF ages better than their
brick or stone.
"The only preparation itundergoes, is that
of pounding and sitting by which it is re-
dueed 10 a coarse powder; in this state it is
beaten up with lime, either with or without
sand, which forms a mass of remarkable
tenacity that sets under water with great
celebrity, and at last acquires strength and
hardness equal to that of free-stone"
Here then, We have new source of COM
merce, and with ii demand for labor, GER
tainly less exciting, but not less remunera-
tive in the end, than "White Pine" L.

An AWKWARD MEETNG.-Here is Pa
risian story, the hero of which is an artist.
A few weeks since, Marchioness de -, 3
lady of ancient family in the Faubourg ST.
Germsin, asked one of her old friends to get
q drawing master for her two daughters.
Great stress was properly laid on the habits
and manners of the drawing master: il was
necessary that he should be talented, respect
able, and very sedate and grave. Her friend
obtained for her the services OF an able artist
who possessed all the desired qualities, and
gave the artist letter of Introduction to her
When the artist called at the old family man.
sion, he was told the Marchioness was absent
but was momentarily expected, and had given
orders TO show him into the drawing-room
which looked so like one of the saloons of
Versailles, the artist could scarcely refrain
from thinking be must be in Louis XIV.'s
palace.
To pass away the time, the artist examined
the articles placed on q stand with shelves,
on'one side of the fireplace. They were OBJ
jects of art collected in Italy and Germany.
While examining one of the articles, the use
and nature Of which defed his acuteness, q
portion of it fell down his sleeve, and in his
effort 10 recover it, the portion fell down his
drawers He was greatly embarrassed. Were
he to undress TO get il, there was danger the
mistress of the house would return at a most
critical moment of the process-so that was
not TO be thought of. He shook himself
almost TO pieces, with no result but TO drive
the object into his boots To pull off his
boots and stockings in the Faubourg St Ger
main, was as heinous an offense against good
manners as to undress.
At last be remembered his skill in walking
on bis hands, and he argued that as the re
versal Of bottle brought to the Orifce the
objects at the bottom, so if a man placed his
heels over his head, the heels would sur
render all unattached objects which might be
at them. Time pressed, and he at once
turned a half summersault, and stood on his
hands, his feet in the air. He walked about
the room in this position: kicking his heels
together prevented him from hearing the
door open, and as his face was directed to
the floor he could not see that several per
sons had entered the room. The new corners
were the Marhioness and her daughters.
We can not pretend TO express their sur
prise at seeing q gentleman prOnensding
about the drawing room on his hands You
may easily conceive it. They stood some
minutes in silent confusion. A turn in his
course brought the artists face in their di-
rection; he looked up and, quicker than we
can describe il, was on his feet, and as silent
and confused as they had been. Hefully ex-
pected TO be shown the door. A smile on
the face Of the Marchiouess re-assured him,
and he confessed to her what had occurred
She laughed heartily over II, gave him her
hand, and became at once his warm friend
