A coLoRED ROMANCE.


"A correspondent of the Lawrence
American reports story which par
takes strongly of romance. 1t runs in
this wise = -
a soldier from Andoyer, duringfh the
war advertised for lady correspon-.
dent with reference to matrimony.-
At length a response was made, by a
young lady in Boston. The cores
pondence which followed gave mutual
Information, and ripened into mutual
affection. The soldier obtained fur
lough for the purpose of visiting his
fair duicina, and having the twain
made one. On arriving in Boston he
called at the street and number to
which he had been invited, and was
ushered by the servant into. the spa
eious and elegantly furnished parlor
of the house, there to await the ap-.
pearance of Miss l., for whom he
inquired. Shortly after very neat
and intelligent colored girl entered
the room, and conversation commene-
ed very much in this wise:
s Soldier" 1t is Miss Ii want
to see.'
Colored Lady-s.I am Miss L. ,.
Soldier. Under the circumstances
You will not expect me to fulfill the
engagement 2.
Colored Lady-a Oh, no, of course
not: but You will recolIect wrote
|you that ] had dark complexion"
Thus ended the affair. The letters
which passed between the parties are
said to have been saturated with the
very tenderest affection. The lady
has since been married to one of her
own color, and diVulged the above
facts to female friend.

FLOUR DEALERS IN COUNCIL.

CHICAGO, April 10.
A meeting OF the Flour Dealers was
held in this city last evening, for the
purpose of discussing the propriety OF
establishing distinct grade of flour in
addition to the present mode OF inspec'
tion. The object of the meeting was
stated to be to establish distinct
grade to be known as the Chicago
standard. The question was discussed
at some length, and the following resO-
luton was finally adopted;
ResoIvcd, That it is the opinion of
this meeting that an establishment OF
grades and the selection OF standards
BILE, and that whenever the parties to
a trade so desire, flour to be so inspect
ed as sound, full weight and equal to
such standards, If it can be accomplish
ed without interfering with the present
general custom of inspection of trade.
MEETING OF LAKE SAILORS.
A large meeting of Lake sailors was
held in this city last evening, the OBJ
iect of which, being to form Union
for the protection of their interests.
Several speeches were made in support
ofthe movement, when the following
resolutions were received and unani-
mously adopted:
WHEREAS, The Seamen of the en-
tire chain of lakes have each succeed
ing season observed with dissatisfac-
ton the conduct of Captains and ship.
owners in discharging them in
strange ports on any slight pretext
where, and 80 depriving them of a
fair livelihood; and whereas Seamen
are shut out from legitimate occupa-
lions during five winter months, thus
depriving their families of support
during the period in which they are
unemployed, because they are not paid
enough during the active season to
supply the means of living through
the dull one; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we the Seamen OF
Chicago. pledge ourselves to work in
unison with the Seamen's Union Be-
neyolent Association of this city, as
we believe it to be the champion of our
rights and the vigilant protector OF
our interests. Over four hundred mem

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.
The stock Market-An Upward Turn


Money is easier and more buoyant,
and the demand was promptly met at
per cent currency. Gold Is quite dull
and ranged from 1925 to 132A. The
official announcement that the July in
terest will be paid with rebate failed to
have any effect, being anticipated yes
terday. The Government bond mar.
ket was the scene of great excitement,
which resulted in q large advance, es-
pecially in bonds. The quotation of '61
Il ex.coupons from London equal TO
84M. is the highest point ever attained
in Europe. At the noon call a very
heavy business was transacted, and
l867's touched 1145s, being the highest
figures reached. The railway market
was speculative, active and buoyant,
with general Improvement; the prin-
cipal changes were an advance from
1927 to 1875 for New York Central,
69H to 7lL for Wabash, 975s TO 9S2s for
Michigan Southern; but the great fea-
ture was the advance in Rock Island
from I94 to 1857, due to rumor about
a largo scrip dividend. After the me-
ridian the market was weaker for
time but soon became strong.
