ANOTHER BELL-RINGING OUTRAGE.-Our remarks

In behalf Of the citizens Of Philadelphia within

MATRAMoNIAL.-The Virginia Safe
guard says:
A marriage ceremony was recently cele-
brated in this city by which there hangs a
tale. As early as 1850, couple, of " poor
but honest parents" married "away down
in Maine" and soon thereafter the husband
left for the land of promise, California
For time he wrote regularly to his con-
fiding spouse, and all was we'll Later,
things went rough with him, and he quit
writing, contracting in the meantime the
habit Of drinking to excess and all its ac-
companying vices. His wife at home
heard ALL sued for and obtained divorce.
Thus matters stood in 1860, when our hero
left California for this State-then Terri
tory. He was lucky after getting this side
the Sierra; became interested in some Of
best mines on the Comstock, Strengthened
up, and was really, like Richard 81 the
three times" himself again. Negotiations
for reconciliation with the woman he had
once sworn to love, etc., were Immediately
inaugurated. She relents, is sorry she
ever doubted him, etc., and joins him in
this State. In the confusion incident to
the happy meeting, mutual explanations,
etc., they forget that it is necessary to be
married anew, and thus matters go for sew
eral years. But the promise of an "epi-
sode" in the family {" coming events cast
their shadows") has recently brought them
to right sense of their duty in the matter.
Visions of the illegitimacy of their off
spring haunted them, and they wisely con-
cluded to be married over; so one day last
week the ceremony was quietly pronounced
by one authorized to do such things The
parties are well known and highly respected
In this section of the country, and for that
reason we suppress names.

The following characteristic story of
General A. J. Smith, of the United States
Army, who figured in Mississippi during
the war, was related to us at Chicago dur
ing the late reunion, by one who served
under him. Although an able officer and
brave man, General Smith was very rough
in his language and ways He lacked
"those soft parts of conversation that
chamberers have," and often INDUCED in a
most unseemly rudeness of language to-
ward his officers. One day, at headquar-
ters, he hastily called an officer who was on
his staff:
"Here, you id son of sea-cook, come
this way"
The officer addressed colored angrily at
the command, couched in such rude Ian
guage, and advancing, he said:
General, am at your command, but
must be permitted to say, with all due re-
spect, that | don't. like to be called such
names. I'm not used to it, and don't
like it."
ooh, pshaw," returned the General
"what do you care what you are called
Names don't amount to anything"
Don't you care what kind of names you
are called, General ?"
Hi! no. What are names, any
how"
"Then," returned the aggrieved officer
you ID old son of gun, what do you
want ?"
Even the General laughed at this piece
OF witty lmpertinence, which he in truth
deserved, and instead of Furnishing the Of
ficer showed him particular favors from
that moment.--Cim. Times.

Two nice young men in Philadelphia got
into trouble about a beautiful young bru-
nette They both wanted her, and concluded to
die for her. Friends were consulted and mur.
derous letters were exchanged, and the result
was duel with pistols. Three or four shots
were exchanged, but both youths were so
nervous that neither Of them received the
fatal shot, no. even scratch. Finally the
matter was adjusted, and the pair hastened
to the presence of the lady, who. HAVING
been informed of the facts, very sensiblT
gave them both to understand that she nrs-
ferred for a liege lord a better and wiser
man than either Of them-ope who wouldn't
fight duels.
