Richmond Tobacco Market.

JUNE 2s.-The market during the past week has
been rather feeble and comparatively inactive. II
Is Impossible to realize former quotations on
raj sales. Sales Of some parcels which came up to
all the requisites of such classes have been made
at full figures. In really pure shipping leaf there
is no abatement in demand, and no decline In
prices: but very small portion OF the offerings IL
OF that class. There is general depression in
mon to medium shipping, both leaf and Tugs. This
also applies to bright tobaccos which exhibit n
decided decline. The receipts hare diminished
during the past few days. and breaks will probably
be smaller. We quote

Mr.. r. E. B. Mcclellan, in letter to The
Atheneom, brings up a very ingenious
argument in support of the opinion that
Addison was not the author of the hymn
"Thc Spacious Firmament on High" In
the last stanza occur the lines:
"What though, in solemn silence; al
More round this dark Terrestrial bdH''
These verses could only have been writ
ten by believer in the old Ptolemaic sys
tenn Of astronomy, while Addison, as ap-
pears from one of his essays in Ihe Spec,
tator, distinctly held to the true theory, OF
which MARVEL, however, may we'll have
been ignorant. ..--..

It out of the window, and add more whiskey

enough. If SO, add more whiskey. Lei

Bachelors and Flirts.
BY JOSH BILLINGS.

Some old bachelors git after q hirt, and
don't travel as fast as she doZ, and then
concludes all the female group are hard to
ketch, and good for nothing when they are
kctchcd.
A firt is rough thing to overhaul unless
the right dog gets after her, and then they
arc the easiest of all to kctch, and often
make the very best OF wives.
When flirt is really in love she is as
powerlcss as n mown daisy.
Hcrimpudcnce then changes into modesty
her cunning into fear, her spurs into a
halter, and her pruning-hook into cradle.
The best way to catch filt is tew travel
the other way from which she is going,
or sit down on the ground and whistle some
lively tune till the tiirt comes round.
Old bachelors make the fiirts, and then
the firts get moro than even by making the
old bachelors.
A majority of hirs get married finally,
for they kcv great quantity of the most
dainty titbits of woman's nature, and alwus
have shrcwdness to back up their sweetness.
Flirts don't deal in poetry and water
grewel they hcv got to hev brains, or else
somebody would trade them out of their
capital at the first sweep.

Disappointed luv must Nv course be all

| An old bachelor will brag about hiz free
dom to you, hiz relief from anxiety, hiz in

American prima donna, in June, 1868, for
two weeks service in said troupe Mt Boston.
Two trials we're had. On the first the jury
failed to agree: on the second trial the jury
found verdict for full amount Of plain
tif's claim. \ motion was thereafter made
by defendant for new trial on the Judge s
minutes, on the ground that the verdict
was against tho weight of evidence. The
motion, after argument, was denied. This
appeal was taken from the judgment and
order denying motions for new trial. The
appellants counsel, Mr.. Crooks, acted upon
The fact that the services were rendered i'll
Boston, und that no evidence was given i'll
the trial by the respondent showing that the
laws of Massachusetts,, where the services
were rendered, authorized married wo-
man Miss Richings having before this suit
named Mr.. Pierre Barnard) to hold sepa-
rate estate and property, and use the same
tor her especial benefit, as is permissible
by the laws of New York State. Mr.. Fur
long, counsel for the respondent, in reply,
snid that upon the trial there was no testi-
mony offered by the appellant to show that
the laws of Massachusetts, relative to the
property aid business of married women
differed from those existing in this State,
and that, in an absence Of such proof on
the part of the defendant, foreign laws
being matter of fact, and provable by the
party deriving the benefit of them, like
other facts, the court is bound to assume
that the laws of another State are the same
as our own Il Comstock, case Of Douglas,
447). Again, that no exceptions on this point
having been taken, the right to the same
was waived, and cannot he raised now, for
the first time, on appeal. After full argu-
mcnt by counsel, the court reserved its de-
ision.-Neao York Tribune.

strangulation occurred in the family of Mr..
William BARLEY, residing in Altoona, Pa.

which the little girl picked out and placed
in her mouth. From her mouth it slipped
into her windpipe, when she commenced to
stranglc. Medical aid was immediately
summoned, but all efforts to remove the
grain were Intellectual, and the little one
