A Plea for Early Il arriagss.

Rev. Henry Morgan lee Hred IN Boston
sometime ago on the sub lect, oung
Men and Early Marriage s." he said,
among other things, Ma ture, history
and revelation declare it is not good that
man should be alone. he needs help
mate-a wife in the balsno wheel, the
regular guardian angel Of th husband
trust, confidence and prosper. ~. Poiiti-
cally, socially, morally and Ipin tually,
man requires a wife. Man nee ds q i'ome.
The Romans gave bachelors 10 legac les /;
Corinth denied them speculato-s. Ath en-
ians seourgsd them. In Plato's commo o.
wealth, at the age Of thirty five, thesv
were fined. Man is but half a man with
out wife. In all your gettings get q
wife. and never rest from getting until
you get married. Better live in an attic
under the hall0wed influence Of wife,
than revel in palace of dissipation. Man
needs a home. Marriage is the legiti-
mate basis Of a genuine no me. Look at
the deplorsble condition # the young
men Of every city without home. Boi1rd-
ing houses have no elevati ng society Of
women, no home infueueeIL l. no place OF
mental improvement, 30 Al tar OF pray er,

a, vvtraorainary Case of Trance.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin. January zS.J
A number of our city physicians went
ont TO Burlington yesterday to inyestl-
gate the case Of child which for twenty
davs has been in a trance. The case IS
nronounced one of the most remarkable
that ever came under the notice OF the
medical faculty, and there is little won
der that It creates something of sensa-
tion. A little daughter, twelve years OF
age, named Nina, OF Christian hauscn'
a German farmer, living about one and
half miles from Burlington, Racine
county, in this State, had severe attack
of measles and diptheria. She had
nearly recovered from these on the oth
Of January. when she called her father
10 her bedside and told him she was
going to sleep aud that she should sleep
for q long. long time. She said she
should look as though she we're dead, but
sbe should not be dead; and she made
the father promise that he would not
burv her. which promise, it may readily
be supposed, has been faithfully kept
| Soon after making the request, the cniid,
to all appearances, sank quietly and
neaoefully into her last sleep. BY all IL
was supposed Nina was dead, and the
body was enshrouded and placed IN q
coffin. After the sleep the body showed
no signs of death, although the pulse and
the heart ceased to perform their pulsa-
tion,. and no device could show that the
respiratory organs were IN USE Inc eyes
are closed. In this state Nina mas IAN
now for twenty days, without q sign OF
life, and with no sign of death other than
a sinking of cheek and eyes, which would
be natural with one who hao tasted so
long a period. Three days ago q vein
was tapped, and blood flowed as natu-
rally as it W ould from living person
| A blister raj sed on the flesh precisely as
! it would on that of one alive. A neigh
Dor of Mr.. Rausch told our reporter, that
be had pressed finger on the hand
of the girl. Her flesh was solid, and
upon taking away the finger the spot was
white. In few seconds the color came
again, precisely as it would if the hesh oi
a living person were pressed in the same
manner. Under these circumsta noes 1t
is reasonable for parents and friends to
believe that the child lies in trance,
and there is little wonder that the case is
attracting 30 much attention among Inc
medical faculty. 1t will be watched care
fully to the end, and with interest: a
large number Of persons have visited the
house of Nj. Rausch, and all express
themselves as lost in wonder and amaze
ment at this strikingly strange affair.

The Introduction Horror.

1t is now quite common, in case one
meets friend casually in company with
other gentlemen, to be introduced to all
of them. Perhaps while you are talking
with your newly-made aequaintances,
one of them is seen by two or three OF
his friends, who are introduced all around.
Thus, while you merely desired to ex-
change few words with your friend, you
are forced to make the acquaintance Of
an acquaintance Of his acquaintance
an invasion of your private rights which
you are unable to resist or protest
against. This practice is peculiarly
American, absurd and annoying, and
ought to be frowned on by all true gem
tlemen. 1t is, with rare exceptions, al
N est as much the right Of a gentleman
as a lady to decide for himself who shall
be introduced to him.

Minister Johnson on woman's Rights.

My Lord, you we're kind enough to
speak favorably of what / said of my
countrymen to-day; but think you have
fallen into a mistake in one particular.
/ understood your Lordship to say that
you in this country had an advantage
over us because lady can be at the head
of your State, and thank God she is. But
don't delude yourself, my Lord, by sup
posing that we cannot have a lady to
rule over us. | have read the Constitu-
ton of the United States more than once,
and there is nothing in it that draws any
distinction between the sexes in that par
ticular. know it has been said that
occasionally we have an old woman over
us; but we have never yet tried the ex-
pertinent Of having young and beauti-
full woman elected as our President.
However, in this age Of progress, when
strong-minde1 women are abroad, who
can tell what is going to happen ? Ii it
should happen, my Lord, that we elect a
beautiful, charming, intellectual woman,
don't delude yourself by the belief that
we shall not cherish her as much as you
cherish your beloved Queen. Aud don't
believe either that our executive author
ity will not be administered with the
same wisdom as that with which your
Queen may exercise her authority.

Hippophagy, or the use of horse flesh
as an article of food, il is reported, is on
the increase in Prussia. In Berlin, in
1868, the number of horses killed to be
used as food for man was no less than
4O44. The blood is purchased by q
manufacturer, who employs it as q dye.
A restaurant. it is stated, will shortly be
opened in Berlin in which various pre-
parations of horse flesh only will be
served to the guests. Mere curiosity
will, perhaps, make the speculation a
good one, at least for time.

The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1869-01-28

A city psper-it is immaterial which-6nds
it very funny that the CRESCENT and the Tri-
bune should stand alone in their opposition
to the projected charter. The city paper
attempts, in this underhanded and disreputa-
BILE manner, to convey the false impression
that the opposition of the CRESCENT and that
of the Tribune are based on the same
grounds, and that there is a quasi alliance
between the white people of New Orleans,
represented by the CRESCENT, and the colored
people, represented by the Tribune. The city
paper knows that one ground of the Tribunes
opposition is the fact that the new charter
does not provide for colored officeholders and
mixed schools; and it knows just as well that
the CREscENT's opposition has nothing to do
with these questions. But how is it with the
palpable alliance of the charter-mongers with
the Radicals of the Legislature, and the sur
render of the position held by the New Or
leans public on the metropolitan police issue?
Why does the Republican, the Radical organ
per Sc, support the new movement? Is that
funny likewise?
The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1869-01-28

We again demand, in the name of the peo-
ple of New Orleans, popular vote on the
question of converting the government of
the city into an ohgarchy of rich property
holders. The objection that previous char
ters were not submitted to vote is of no force.
The time has gone by when great commu-
nifty like New Orleans could be treated like
an ordinary corporation, the mere creature of
legislative will or caprice. The rights of
the people of New Orleans do not depend on
legislative action or legislative sanction. They
are inherent and imprescriptible not incl
dental, and destructible by any set of usurp-
ers that happen to take possession of the
State government. The people of New Or
leans have right to decide on the form of
the government which IS set over them. In
strict Justice they have right to frame it for
themselves. There may have been some excuse
for previous Legislatures to assert the power
of constructing government for New Or
leans, because those Legislatures represented
the people of the State, and, in some proper
ton, the people of the city, But the exist
ing Legislature is an intrusive concern, con-
sisting of usurpers who have no real right
to legislate for the State, and whose assump-
ton of power over the city is an unparalleled
and impudent piece of effrontery. When
such body contemplates sweeping change
in our city governments change which con-
templates nothing less than the establish
ment of q system hitherto entirely untried
and even unknown-a system which trans
forms our municipal government from a
Democracy into an Oligarchy, and which
places the whole Legislative, executive and
administrative power in the hands of ma
jority of six persons to be selected from an
especially favored class-when such a
change is contemplated, it is not to be
expected that the people will submit to such
an assumption of authority without an effect
i've protest. If the Legislature is determined
to pass the new charter bill, the people Of
New Orleans demand vote upon it.

The Chattanooga Railroad Company now
asks an extension of its time as agreed upon
with the city, for one year. This company
or its agents secured valuable privileges two
years ago, on the representation that all the
capital needed to build the whole road was
already subscribed, and that no subsidies
were to be asked from the city or State. Now
they ask the Endorsement ofthe State on their
bonds for s12, 500 a mile as far as the road
runs in Louisiana. What is the real condition
of the company? What are their resources,
and are they going to delay the work uLtil
they manage to get government subsidies
enough to enable them to build the road ?
The council ought to have some information
on these points before acting on the applica-
ton now made
