Father HyacInthe In 4 New Role.

The distinguished Carmelite is com
ing to Boston next week on double
mission-to meet the handful OF
Evangelical elergymen who have in
vited him hither, and to come to get
married, If the most trustworthy
report can be believed. The rever-
end Father has not come all the way
to America for nothing, aud il his
mission should result in only captur-
ing one of our fair daughters, he
will have accomplished a good deal,
and at the same time have showed
his independence of the Papal Church
by marrying the woman he loves.
Luther did something Of the kind in
his day, and it was nun, too, he made
his &C. equal in priestly Office. Ofcourse
Father Hyacinthe is as susceptible Of
falling in love as any other son of
Adam, and he has a right to be mar
ried by a Protestant minister. /
hear that the lady who he intends to
lead TO the altar is a daughter of a
we'll known Episcopalian clergyman,
aud that her Acquaintance was made
while she was travelling in France,
Our manageable bellies are in ter
rible fiutter over this piece of gossip,
and they will have sleepless nights
until the twain are made one. The
lady is described as being one of
singular beauty, with
"Her hair In hyaclnthine flow,
When left 70 roll It's folds bellows"
and with her accomplishments and
goodness of heart she is worthy of
becoming the wife of such christian
gentleman.-C0r. Chicago Journal

Saturday, though the arrivals were not
numerous.-.......The Leonidas arrived early
in the morning, and discharged near 700
bales OF cotton for r. x. Dunkerson & Co
The Leonidas achieved great triumph on
her last trip down-going out OF the river
with coo tons of freight on 81 inches OF
water. The oldest steamboatmen at Gin.
cinnati and Louisville, and some few
here, offered 10 bet she would not get out OF
this riYer. But Dan. Weaver, our own
pilot, was at the wneei, WIN
o. Carroll as his partner. and they
took her through with scarce
an hours detention. At Memphis she
was presented with the most beautiful and
remarkable pair of bnck-horns we ever
saw. They are at least a loot long, not
over half an inch in diameter, and each
antler has a single prong at the same dis
lance from the tips. Old hunters say they
never saw the like. Attached TO them is u

be TOO highly praised, and which have er-
titled him frequently, in the past, to the
approval and commendation of the stock
holders of his company. President Magrath
has been the life of the South Carolina
Railroad Company, and is now the head
and front of its usefulness. Never forget
ting the interests of his company; never
disregarding the interests of his State, he
has worked steadily and manfully to make
his company as profitable to it's owners IS
it is undoubtedly advantageous to our peo-
pie. Litigation is always distasteful to the
practical railroad map. But it has so hap
pened that President Magrath has been
forced into the courts to vindicate and pro-
tect the rights which he represents. This
suit is now, we believe, a, an end; and
knowing as we do the manner in which it
was begun, and in which it was carried on,
we are justified in saying, that the SETTLE
ment accepted by President Magrath is, for
his shareholders and the public, the best
that it was possible to have made.
So the war is over. And now there
should be no antagonism Of railroad inter-
ests, or railroad management. One more
obstacle to the progress aad prosperity OF
our State has been swept away, and Au'
eusta and Charleston again join hands.

We LEARN that meeting Of the Stock
holders of the Columbia and Augusta Rail
road Company and the Charlotte and South
Carolina Railroad will soon be held in Co.
tumbis, to determine the terms Of the con-
solidation of the two companies. The COM
missioners of the two roads propose that
the stock of the Columbia and Augusta
Railroad be valued at S22 per share; that
of the Charlotte and South Carolina Rail-
road at par, and that four and a-half shares
of the former be received for one share oi
the latter. This agreement will be ratiiled
or rejected at the meeting to be held by the
stockholders in July.
