Hon. Emerson Etheridgc.

Some earnest brother of the press
having nominated Mr.. Etheridgc for
Speaker of the Senate the day follow
ing the election, that gentleman re-
spends to the proposition thusly in a
note addressed to the Nashville Ban
Ner:
DRESDEN, Tenn, Aug. II, 1869.
! am very grateful to those who have
expressed a desire for my election to
the Speakership Of the Senate. My
own feelings and wishes, however, con-
strain me to say that l am not a candi.
date or aspirant for the position, and
that l may not be suspected Of the
slightest mental reservation in making
this statement, l will add that, in nc
event will l consent to the use Of my
name for the place.
Very respectfully, EN-. ETHERIDGE.
Mr. Etheridge's object in entering the
State Senate would be embarrassed by
accepting the Speakership, and he
therefore, not only gracefully" bu
wisely declines the proilered honor.

A nnODERX ROMANCE.
The Marriage Ora ROyal
Prince TO q Merchants
DnugItler.

Prince TO q Merchants
Daughter.
Que Of those events which occass
ionally yranspiro to assert. in the
most emphatic manner, the leveling
spirit of the age, occurred On the
goth in this city. This was no less
than tho marriage ofa Prince OF
the ancIent and conservative House
of Bourbon to the daughter OF a
Cuban merchant. The story-a
most romantic one-is as follows
Some three or four years ago Mrs.
Aamll, the wife Of a well-known
merchant IN Havana, left that city
to place her daughter in a school in
Paris. They stopped for some
lime IN this Guy, having rooms at
Delmonicos' and made many warm
friends wherever they were known.
Tho daughter possessed Of more
than ordinary accomplishments and
personal charms, attracted much AZ
Lsntion among The best society of
the gay French capital. She was
received in the most exclusive cir
cles, and it is said was frequent
guest at the Imperial Court. A.
mong the many distinguished gen.
tleman who paid her their court
was Prince Louis de Bourbon, son
OF Louis, Count d,Aquilla, one OF
the chief mombers OF the Bourbon
family. The Prince proposed to
her and was accepted, under tho
mothers sanction, but when connt
d'Aquilla learned the intention OF
his son, his pride revolted at what
he and oehers OF royal blood consld-
cred a mesalliance, and he not only
forbade the match, but used his influ.
ence with the Emperor to induce
the latter to dlsccunGenance II
should the Prince seek his support.
The lovers ia company with the la
dy's mother, then determined to 60
to England and there fulfill tho mar
riage, but the father interfered, and
succeeded IN preventing them from
CARRYING it out. After more than
one disappointment from the refn
sal of the Catholic clergy to perform
the ceremony, the persecuted ones
determined to 90 to the United
States, whore they hoped to find nc
| difficulty in fulfilling their contract
hut even in this FREQ country the IN
fluence ofconservatism prevailed sc
far that the catholic clergy still
declined to have anything to do in
the matter, However marriage
accoI ding to the civil rights CT thu
country was consummated on satur
day evening last, and thus oil
opposition aud persecution wa'
overcome. This marriage, although
perhaps, it would not be aeknoTl
edged among tho crowned heHd'
Of Europe is perfectly legal IN th'
United States and all Proostan'
countries, and AS such it Will nevel
be- disputed. The Prince, it is un
, derstood, should his family prove
obdurate, rs prepared to renouncG
bis rights, rs one of tho royal house
of Bourbon. and will content him
selfwith the possession Of bis beau

A Curious Fact.

The Age notes it as a current and Hn-
deniable fact, that scarcely two-fifths
of the revenue of the United States finds
its way into the public treasury, and
that in five months duration of the
GRANT administration not a single ex-
ample has been made of offenders
against the laws in this particular.
Sugar and coffee is being shipped from
New York to the West at less price
than it can be landed, duty paid, in this
country. Cincinnati whisky is selling
in New Orleans at less than the cost of
manufacture, tax and transportation,
while sugar frauds in the latter city
have reached point hitherto unheard
of in the annals of crime in this nation.
All this is known to the authorities at
Washington, and yet what is being done
to prevent fraud and punish those en-
gagged in these transactions GRANT is
running from hotel to race course at the
public expense, and the heads of Depart
ments are indulgipg in like reprehensi-
BILE practices In the meantime the
revenues of the nation are being stolen,
and its resources diminished. This is
the result of trusting a corrupt party,
and eleVating man to the head of the
nation without ability to fulfill the du.
ties of the place.

Drilling Wheat.

The season approaching for seeding
down to wheat, we would urge the ben
eft of drilling in the seed with a ma
chine, instead of broadcast sewers,
Nothing in agricultural practice, now
a-days, may be said to be better estab-
lished than this, as every one knows
who has ever tried it; aud the reports
last season in the Department at Wash
ton, from all sections of the sountry,
showed the grain in bushels per acre to
be, in some sections, twenty to twenty
five per cent. with drilled wheat. 1t is
found to be much less liable to be
thrown out by frosts or winter killed;
and the free action of the atmosphere
through the drills in the field, the
uniform depth at which it is covered,
causing an evenncss in the growth,
together with ut least one peck less
seed being required for sowing, are all
advantages which belong to drilling,
connected also with securing a better
taking of the grass seed.
Drills, as with other farm machinery,
have been greatly improved the last few
wears, and are now constructed not only y
to sow wheat, rye, oats, &c, In given
quantities, but also to sow with it grass
seed and fertilizers in the rows with
the grain; so that the soil being previ-
ously well prepared, the whole is I'm,
ished at one operation, and the ground
left in nice, smooth condition. The
ridges left by the drill are leveled down
by the frosts of winter, giving addl-
tional protection to the tender roots OF
the grain and grass.-Practical Farmer

More Reconstructiou.

New Jersey is to be reconstructed
at least some of the 'loyap papers SC
demand. AT one town in that State, the
black and white members of the church
do not take sacrament together
A more hagrant defiance of the
teachings of the war eau scarce
ly be imagined. If there is any,
thing which the war has settled, it il
that white folks have no privileges
which negroes may not share with them
Any other doctrine sets at naught the
national triumph over rebellion, and
makes of no avail the blood, wounds
death and all the sacrifices of the Union
heroes. By all means, let New Jersey
be reconstructed, even if negroes and
caIpet-baggers have to be conscripted
and carried into her borders to act as
missionaries of "loyalty."

IeauiuR Trocs.

Often in fine orchard we find one or
more trees leaning ever so far as to de-
stroy the beauty of the whole orchard.
1t is also much more difficult to cultivate
around leaning tree. This may easily
be remedied, while the trees are young,
by partially digging up and replacing
the tree. The roots will usually be
found smallest on the side from which
the tree leans; and therefore these roots
should be loosened from the earth, the
tree set in perpendicular position and
fastened carefully by stakes or guys,
and the earth replaced around the roots.
1t would be we'll to add some rich com.
post to promote their growth. If, as is
very probable, the top of the tree has
become one-sided, il should be pruned
so as to restore the balance. In this
way we have righted up pear trees six
inches through the stem; but the best
way is TO look after the young trees,
and not permit them to depart from the
way of uprightness.-Journal of Horti-
culture.
