SINGULAR BREACH OF PROMISE CAsE.-May
Furgerson. milliuer, twenty-six years old,
of Springboro', Ohio, lately sued DR.. John
A. Bradshaw, an Irishman, forty-seven
years old, for $50, 900, for not marrying her
according to promise. The defence set up
was, that Miss Furgerson was of African de-
scent. and for that reason be could not, under
the laws of Ohio, legally wed her. This was
met by demurrer, on the ground that the
law of 1861, fnrbidding the union Of a white
person with one having distinct admixture
OF African blood, was superseded by the
Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, or. if not by that, by
the Civil Rights Act. The demurrer was not
sustained by the Court, however, and the
case was sent to the jury on its merits.
Three physicians testified that she exhibited
undoubted symptoms of African adr,ixture
in her blo,d, and five or six medical men
testified that they could see no evidence at
oil of mixed blood The trial lasted for a
week. and the jury gave Miss Furgerson q
verdict of $I0, 900.

RESIST THE BEGINNING.-The Arabs have
fable OF a miller who was ore day startled
by canel's nose thrust in the window of
the room where he was sleeping. "Said the
camel: 1T is very cold outside; want to get
my nose in."
The nose was let in, then the neck. and
hnaily the whole body. Presently the miller
began to be extremely inconvenienced by the
u"gainly companion he had obtained in a
room certainly not long enough for both.
III you are Inconvenience. you may leave;
as tor myself, | shall stay where am" said
the camel to the miller.
The moral of this fable concerns all. When
temptation occurs, we must never yield to it.
We must not let even its nose in. Every.
thing like sin is to be turned away from.

WHAT Man WANTS HIS WIFE To Know.
There are certain things a man wants his
wife TO know. which are never learned at
seminaiies. and hut too seldom, we fear at
home. One would like his wife to know how
to make shirt. Ever so rich, il would be a
comfortable sensation to think that she made
it; yet there are some who cannot even sew
on n button. To be able TO cook a beef-steaE
properly. or roast aioint to a turn-to make q
savory sauce. or dish up fricassee-to cook
ones husband good dinner, in short, if need
be. what every woman ought to know. and
what very few do know until obliged to learn
it 1t is solemn fact, that not one marriage
able girl il twenty can make a really good
cup of coffee. 1t is all very well to study
French. without ever being able to read or
speak it with any faciity--to learn six or
eight sciences up to confused smattering. un-
available from the fear of making blunders,
to learn music and drawing for the paror and
drawing rom; but man wants more than
this in wife; and the sensible lover is often
frightened away from an amable girl by a
display of accomplishments, which indicates
the lack OF more useful requirements.

THE TORCmLIGHr PROCESSION.

In the dark. with child on her bosom,
woman is walking the noor
Moaning. while hashing her darling,
On God! what il is to be poor,
In the dark with a child on her bosom,
In the dark Of eomfortless room
Not even u candies dull ray soothe
HE terrible ache of the gloom.
Down the street throngs joyous procession,
With thousands oflamps all sght;
Aud the glare Of whispering rockets
Ascending the shadows of night,
Ofl enough for the multitude's marching,
And music, and banners, and flowers,
While the blue Of the zenith is blazing
With grand pyrotechnieal showers.
All alone with her poor little burden,
woman with hungering eyes,
Soothes with lips that palid with fasting,
Her iamishing tabys cries,
She catches the echoes Of loud huzzas
''Great God !" she sighs under her breath,
"Whie opulence squanders much away,
Must my little one starve TO DEATH"
Hark tramp Of the marchers comes nearer,
Transparences gieams past the door;
"0ur Cause, ''Our Kind }" and Our Country ;" she
reads,
But never one noticed SOur poor :"
And she looks at the Pickering tor ches,
And counts the magnificent flags.
Then turns with gasp to her darkness again
And her scant and unseemly rags.
Like river oflight the procession
Flows away down the stony street;
And the star studded gates of the midnight
Close on the retreating feet.
The music dies out in the dim afar,
All silence. aud peace and rest;
Save a mansc mother pacing The floor,
little cold corpse er breast.

Cfock-Tfeks Passiug ever Six Thousafd
Miles Of Telegraph.

The particulars Of an interesting telegraph
ic experiment are given by the Buffalo Cour-
Ter as follows
'For the purpose of arriving at the diff
ference in mean time between San Francisco
and Boston, the wires of the Western Union
Telegraph Company have nightly been con-
nected for nearly month past from one side
Of the continent to the other; and the ticking
of chronometer in Cambridge University
has been observed and recorded in San Fran
cisco with & most remarkable degree of accu-
racy. This is done by connecting the pendu-
lum of the chronometer at Cambridge with
the wire in such a manner that the main cir
cult is broken and instantly closed again at
every beat of the timepiece.
"a any time during an evening of the past
month visitor to the operating rooms of the
Western Union Telegraph Office in this city
might have heard one of the little instruments
heating the measured time of the sxtieth
part of a minute, with the monotony and reg
ularity of a chronometer itself Tick Tick I!
Tick ! One, two, three. four, five minutes
elapse, and then the little monitor ceases.
Back comes the answer from San Francisco
TO Boston 'All right; your second signals
came good. and have been recorded for FIVE
minutes. Go ahead FIVE minutes more Again
tick tick tick for five minutes, and then
San Francisco says again All right. Are
you ready to take my signals? And the an
swer from Boston is: Yes; go ahead?' Tick.
tick tick says San Francisco for the allot-
ed five minutes, and Boston says in his turn,
All right
"But notwithstanding the speed with which
these pulsations of a clock fly from one side
of our Continent to the other, it is known
there is loss of time in the transaction. How
to arrive at this loss and measure it is the
next question. Nothing easier; second wire
is switched into place, a repeater added at
Boston, and, presto it's done. Now the
clock ticks made at San Francisco rush on
the wings of light over the 5000 miles of wire
to Boston, and back again to San Franciscn
over the second wire. and record themselves
at the place of starting, in something less
than 60 seconds Of time, having in the in
terval rraversed 6000 miles, Last night Feb
ruary 28th) witnessed the successful compile
tion of this last experiment. and the flight of
electricity was actually measured. so to speak, i,
as easily as one measures yard of muslin.
Never before in the worlds history has
such wonderful feat been attempted, and
that this has been brought to a successful con.
clusion is due entirely to the beautiful work
ing of the Western Union Company's wires,
together with the assiduous attention and SUI
perior ability of it's employees. Trace the
route on the map, and mark the immense dis-
tances SO lightly glided over by the subtle
fluid
"The route is from Boston, through Alba
ny, Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago, Omaha. Chey-
enne. Salt Lake City, and Virginia City to
San Francisco. and this route is, of course,
double, forming for all practical purposes but
a single circuit"

TIE OVERLAND MAILs.-The Gold Hill! Netcs
has the suhjoined pleasant relation in regard
to the present situation of these mails:
We are informed by.D. L. Bliss, who ar
rived in Gold Hill thiS morning, overland,
that on last Monday there were about four
hundred lock mail bags at She'll Greek Station
on the east side of Steptoe slough, two hun
dred and thirty miles west of Salt Lake. on
the old Overland stage route. The weight of
this mail matter was estimated at twenty tons,
and there seemed to be but little probability
of it's removal for the next three months, un-
less the United States Mail Agent or the mail
contractors hire Indians to carry the mails
over the slough or valley, which is three miles
wide, and is deep bog of soft. tough clay.
and covered all over with about six inches of
water. Bliss Informs US that there are plen-
ty of Indians there who are willing 20 pack
the mail bags over this slough at $40 a ton,
but there is no one at the Shell Greek Station
to hire them to do SO. and we make mention
of this fact particularly, so that if there is
Mail Agent on the Pacific Coast he may know
the reason why the back mails are not COM
ing, and also to inform the mail contractors
of the above facts. Passengers on the stages
are compelled to hire Indians to pack their
baggage over the slough, and to either wade
across or be carried across by Indans-whch
latter style is especially the case with lady
passengers. In this packing operation it re-
quires four Indians. or white men, who have
two poles rugged with gunny sacks, whereon
the passenger is seated. and the poles are then
slung over the shoulders of the men, who
wade and founder through the mud and wa
ter TO small islands in the slough, to rest them
selves. 1t costs $40 to be packed across
Bliss further informs US that some of the mail
matter at Salt Lake was ordered to he sent up
to Ogden and the Union Pacific Railroad, to
be sent by that route to the Central. Pacific
Railroad; but the mails at Shell Creek will
remain there long while, unless the Indians
are paid to transport il across the slough.

CALIFORNIA WHEAT IN GEoRGIA.-A cor
respondent Of the Times, writing from Au-
gusta, Georgia, under date of February 2Sth,
save:
A few days ago, observing an unusual
crowd around the railroad depot in this city,
inquired the cause, and was told that car,
60 of California wheat had just arrived,
which had been purchased by Clark & Sons
one of the largest milling firms in the
State and that the crowd had assembled t.
witness the extraordinary conference.-the
arrival of California wheat to make Georgia
bread. Talk of revolutions, sir" said an
old inhabitant, evidently excited by the even,
and the concourse Of people, ''if any body
had told me twenty years ago, when we were
doing lively business shipping southern
-four to the miners of California, and getting
back gold in return. that should live to SEE
an Augusta mill grinding California whea
into -four for our people, l should have re
garded him as crazy. But | have seer
strange sights in my time. and this is no,
the least so." Subsequently made inquiry
Of the miller as to she success of their enter
prise, and they told me that every ounce o.
-four was sold (rardon the bully before tbt
mill had ground one-third of it, that the ven
ture was most profitable, and that the Gus
temers, like Oliver Twist. were all "aski1s
for more"
Unless the minds of our agriculturalist,
undergo a complete change, fancy that by
this time next year we shall be much more
familiar with California wheat than we arr
now.
