A MARRIAGE AND A FUNERAL SERVICE AT
THE SAME TIME.-The Rev. Mr.. Tlmlow, Of
East Cambridge, was called upon on the 9Th in
stant to perform a double service and of direct.
ly opposite nature. 1t was that of marriage
and funeral in the same family and at the same
hour. The mother had died, and just before
her death requested her daughter to have her
contemplated marriage consummated as soon
after death as practicable. 1t so happened
that convenience and other things pointed to
the hour of the funeral service And SO it oc-
Cured that, by the side of the mothers coffin,
the daughter was married. There was the
weeping father, with the sacred marriage tie
just broken, and there was the daughter just
forming the tie, and with emotions that can
hardly be imagined. Just after the marriage
ceremony Mr.. Timlow proceeded with the burial
services. 1t was a season of great sOemnity,
and yet must have impressed all the spectators
as very strange.-Ne,obuu (Nass.) Herald,

A CHAPTER IN AMOS KENDALL's LIRE
The following sketch from Amos Kendall's
biography shows that "times all as they
used to were" -:
In lS45, while he was Postmaster-General,
Mr.. Kendall issued his famous order concern
ing the United States mails. On the 29th Of
July, a report was spread in Charleston, South
Carolina, that the mails from the North con
tanned quantity of Abolition documents A
public meeting was called This meeting re
solved that the mail matter in question should
be publicly burned. Accordingly mob pro-
ceeded to the post-Ofice, seized and rif1ed the
mail bags-but did not find anything more in
cendiary than few harmless Northern papers,
which were destroyed. The Postmaster at
Charleston reported the occurrence to Post
master-General Kendall He replied in an
official letter sanctioning the proceedings. !" l
am satisfied, he wrote, that the Postmaster
General has no legal authority to exclude news
papers from the mails, nor to prohibit their
carriage and delivery on account of their char
acter or tendency, real or supposed. But [ am
not prepared to direct you to forward or deliver
the papers Of which you speak. We owe an
obligation TO the laws, but higher one to the
cODlnlUnitieS an 1Ohich zoe bUe; and if the for
mer be permitted to destroy the latter, 1t a
patriotism to disregard them. In his next
annual report he urged Congress to pass law,
for which he framed bill himself, torbidding
| the circulation in the mails of 'any pamphlet
newspaper, handful, or other printed paper oil
pictorial representation, touching the subjec
Of Slavery" etc.

A CHINAMAN TAKING NoTEs.-The follow
ing is the translation of letter written by the
Mandarin in Burlingame's troupe, who writes
up the manners and customs of the various
countries for the Chinese archives In it he
speaks of the table habits OF the Paris barba-
rions. "We have dined," he says, at their
tables, where the stomach is expected to re-
ceive with pleasure some thirty different OBJ
The French and other foreigners eat until they
feel very uncomfortable, and require much
medicine drugs, as may be seen by the many
chemists shops in this city. They have the
same capacity as our pigs. Had you been
here the other night and observed how these
people rudely scrambled for the food at the
supper-table when we gave our fete They
put their hands violent on the dishes, and dis
puted with each other most roughly" In tel
ling about Burlingame s ball he writes: "Oh!
if you had seen the woman at our ball They
came kalf undressed that is to say, the upper
part of the body was wholly exposed, but they
are jealous of showing their feet, and seem to
desire to hide the floor also, as each woman
drags about with her long robe, on which it
is not etiquette to place your shoe. Their eyes
painted round, (not all of them, and they use
coloring for the lips and pearl power for va
rious exposed portions of the frame. They
purchase the hair of the dead, and artists work
1t into various designs; then the women put il
on their heads with flowers and yet they are
not dirty people. The high-cast women are
allowed every license. At our fete they were
clasped round the waist by men they knew
not, and dance with painful vigor, for it was
| hot.

The PREsBYTERrANs. s.-The union, or re-
union, of Old and New School Presbyterians in
one church which was completed at Pittsburg,
Friday, is an event that will give great pleasure
to the Christian world. 1t goes far to confirm
what has been frequently asserted of late, that
there is a strong tendency among the various
Christian sects toward unifcation, and it is to
be hoped that it heralds general peace and con.
cord, to come, not long hence, between all the
still warning sectaries. !"
This junction of the two branches of the
Presbyterian Church makes it a large and pow
erful denomination. 1t now contains fifty Syn
ods, two hundred and fifty-six Presbyteries,
four thousand two hundred and thirty ministers,
and membership of nearly half million souls.
Further additions are expected from minor or
ganizations of Presbyterian tendencies.

Love is BLIND-A curious marriage occur
ed last week in st. louis. A stone-blind
bridegroom was led by his bIushing bride to
the altar of Justice of the Peace. That hon
est and benevolent functionary felt it to be his
duty to inform the poor blind man that the
chosen of his heart was really one of the ugliest
women in the world, and that she had to his
certain knowledge, buried two husbands. To
this the bridegroom responded that he had
seen the lady great many years ago, and that,
was then " a thing of beauty and a - form of
life and light" As the unfortunate man insis-
ted upon being married to this dream of his
earlier and happier days, the knot was tied ;
but the Justice swore that he couldn't in con-
science take fee for doing it, and so the poor
victim was led away rejoicing. - ~

A MAMMOTH HoTEL-New York has anoth-
er wonder, the largest hotel in the word except
one. The mammoth building is now in course
Of erection on the site Of the old Southern, nee
Lafarge Hotel, in Broadway, near Amity street.
The Winter Garden Theatre which was origi-
nally situated under the Southern Hotel, burned
down few years ago, and since that time the
hotel has been closed The entire lot is now
being built up as a hotel, to go by its old name.
The new edifce is eight stories high, and the
Broadway front will be surmounted by three
gothic towers. 1t will have six hundred rooms,
and is intended to accommodate 200 guests.
The furniture alone will cost 100000, and the
whole work is to cost 81 100000. There will
be seven acres of carpeting.

A SLEEPING CAR SToRY.-It is true, as we'll
as funny and instructive. L aIlude to the sub
Joined statement A common friend of ours on
u recent occasion, found it necessary to take
night train from New York to Washington.
He secured and paid for u private apartment
in one of the sleeping cars. After spending the
first part of the evening with some friends in
the smoking car, he became drowsy and sought
his sleeping place. On arriving there he found
a stalwart person in female attire, who had
thrown off her hawl and was making. herself at
home. The gentleman was astoNlsned, and
soon entered upon an explanatlan. After talk
ing fifteen minutes, according to the ordinary
rules of pOliteness, he found that the intruder
had no idea Of migrating. He then remarked
that he was sleepy, and thought he would re-
tire. " AS you please, said the stranger.
6 But this is my room,'' added the gentleman,
"an1 intend to go to bed right here. "All
right" returned the stranger :" looked every
where, and this is the only room 1 found unoc-
cupied. | cannot walk to Washington, and to
sleep in this room | am not afraid" Remon-
strances were of no avail In his desperation,
the gentleman ordered his bed made in due
time he drew off his coat, and retired to COM
pose his feelings and his limbs and just as he
was about falling into doze, he looked up,
and, 10 the stranger was carefully making ready
to do likewise, and she did I" lie down in hel
| loveliness." And that person was one OF the
strong-minded woman of the age, whose name
is perpetually appearing in the papers. Thi!
is true, and is one of those facts which put tic
ton to the blush, albeit the heroine of this sto
ry has probably not been honOred with blush
since her childhood. The conduct of that wo
man strikes us as greater marvel than the
telegraph. Boston Post.
