To the Editors of the Union and American:
With your permission / would like to
disabuse the minds Of the citizens of the
Eighth Ward and others, in relation to an
tenn which appeared in the local OF the
'UNIoN AND AMERICAN" of May is, IN
which the item charges the engine house
in that ward as giving false alarm Of fire
in order that Enos Hopkins, Esq and
others might "tamper with the ballor-boH
az the polls were held Al the engine
house. Now, sir, wish TO state, know
iDgly too, that Mr.. Hopkins had not
rp0ken to any of the hremen OF to the man
that rang the bell, and further, it was no
false alarm as it was caused by the burn,
ing Of kitchen or shed in the rear of a
house on College street occupied by Mr.
Dayis, and the alarm was given at
the hall by the neighbOrs OF Davis
ard the engine passed out OF the
hsu aud returned without disturbing the

box. and there were a hundred persons

MeRGANATIC MARRIAGES are quite
common among the royal families on
the continent of Europe. The word
morganatic is said to be derived from
the Gothic norgjin, to curtail or
limit, and is used TO indicate lower
sort of matrimonial union, WHICH, as
civil engagement, is completely
binding. but fails to confer on the
wife the title or fortune of the hus-
band, and on the children the right
succession This explanation is
necessary to understand the intelli-
gence from st. Petersburg, that the
newly married wife of the Duke of
Leuchtenberg, nephew of Gar Alex
ander III, had received for herself
and her descendants the title of
Countess of Beauharnais. The de-
cree comforting this title sets forth
that by the organic law of the en-
pire the Dukes title cannot pass to
his children, nor can the title of
Duchess be borne by his wife. 1t
adds, however, that the marriage took
place with the fall consent of the
Gar. This, it is asserted, Is the
first instance of the formal sanction
of a morganatic marriage in. Russia,
and it is eonjectured that the Imper-
ial recognition will be given to
similar marriages that have hereto
fore taken place Thus, the Grand
Duchess Mary, the mother OF the
Duke of Leuchtenberg, who was the
eldest daughter of the Car Nicholas,
after the death of her first husband
married morganatieally Count Greg
ory StrogOnoff. This latter marriage,
it is asserted, will now be recognized.

Icelandic POliteness The Women

The Icelander always takes his cap
off when he salutes any one, and not
content with merely touching the
peak, actually bares his head. have
thought that possibly it might be the
result of the confidential manner IN
which they kiss each other when they
meet, in which operation of course
the peak of the cap or the brim OF the
hat would be in the way. For the
Icelandic kiss OF welcome and farewell
is no empty ceremony; 1t Is given
with warmth and expression, and is
repeated two or three times, without
the least regard to age, sex or other
incompatibilities between the parties
concerned. But still, as this external
politeness appears to be only the eX-
preston of the feelings, / have aban
doned my theory, and have arrived at
the conclusion that the Icelanders are
naturally polite, at least toward those
who are polite to them in turn. The
every dav costume of the women Is
extremely simple. 1t consists of a
tight fitting. woolen-knitted bodice OF
a dark color, with narrow sleeves but
toned at the wrist, without any Orna
ment, and home-Spun skirt. The
dark color is set off by striped or
checked apron, usually green or red,
on the head is small, black cap, fast
ened coquettishly across the temples,
and with long, silver thread. The
Icelandic women have very thick and
beautiful hair, which they arrange in
graceful plaits, hanging down from
the cap upon their back. Many dark
brown eye and curling lock of hair
may be peeping forth from beneath
the cap, still, the ''corn golden hair
and the azure blue eve which the old
sages sing OF, is the general type and
thus pink and white are the prevail
ing hues that nature has laid on their
checks and foreheads.-A Summer IA.

DREAD NOT TONIC RRow.

Let tomorrow take care of tomorrow,
Leave things of the future to fate,
Never best to participate sorrow,
Life's troubles come never too late.
If TO hope overmuch he an error,
IL is one which the wise have preferred,
And how often have hearts been in terror,
by fearing what never occurred.
Have faith, and thy faith shall sustain thee,
Permit not suspicion and care,
With invisible hands to enchain thee,
But bear what God giycth To bear.
BY His spirit supported and eladdened,
Be meier by forebodines deferred;
But think how oft hearts have been saddened
by fearing what never occurred.
Let tomorrow take care OF to-morTow;
Short and dark aS our lie may appear,
We may make it still shorter 10y sorrow,
still darker by folly and fear.
Half our troubles are half our invention,
And often from blessings conferred
Have we shrunk, in the Wild apprehension
Ofiearning what never occurred

The Daughter of Aaron Burr.

!
TheOdosia Burr's habits of life
were, / have heard nv mother say,
much like those of Mrs. Kemble.-
She was famous walker and skater,
and accompanied her father on shoot
ing and fishing excursions. As a
horsewoman, she was unsurpassed ;
and, on her visits to her New Eng
land friends, sometimes astonished
their quiet nelghbors by riding over
the country, taking walls and bitches
in flying leaps. Yet she was, in the
best sense of the word feminine and
essentially a lady. ,.-.
The last days OF this grand woman
We're very sad, and her fate is even
yet wrapped in awful Obscurity. 1t
is only known that when broken in
health and almost in heart, by the
loss of her only sor, she embarked
for CharlestOwn, to join her unhappy
rather in New York, on a small sail T.
ing vessel, accompanied only by her
physician and servant. That vessel
never WAS heard of more, and it has
always been supposed that it foun-
dered in a gale, off Cape Hatteras.
But some twenty five or thirty Years
ago seaman, dying in hospital at
New Orleans, confessed to having
been pirate and among other
terrible things, he told of his ship
having run down a schooner bound
to New York from Charleston, and
Of having scuttled her after taking
possession of everything valuable
The few passengers, he said, and
such of the crew as were disinclined
TO enlist under their black banner,
they compelled TO walk the plank =
Among the passengers was one
lady, who demonstrated against hav-
ing her hands bound and being blind
folded, promising to offer no resist
ance. So they let her have her way,
he said and she stepped quietly oil
the plank, and, with her eyes wide
open, walked off into the sea. / have
always believed that the womsn who
met her fate in this grand Romian
way was the daughterof Aaron Burr,
TheodOsia Burr. -H,--- f.
