Novel Way Of Popping the Ques-
tiOn.

Mdlle. Luzgel, the pretty French ac-
tress, recently presided over one of the
stands at a fair, at the French theatre in
st. Petersburg, given for the benefit of
some object, of charity, at which Prince
Polstoi, one of the wealthiest young no.
blemen of st. Petersburg, was present,
and who during the evening approached
Mdlle Luzgers stand, and bantering..y
asked her how much she would take for
a kiss. She glanced at him very sternly
and replied that she would not kiss any
man but her betrothed. The Prince
passed on; but, charmed with the virtu-
Gus reserve of the actress, returned to
her stand shortly, and said, "Will you
permit me to ask you another question,
mademoiselle p ''With pleasure, sir"
Have you a betrothed 2" She eyed
him a moment in surprise, and said
then, with blush and smile, ''No, sir"
Would you like to have one" ''That
depends on circumstances" She said,
laughing. "Well, then, would you take
me?"' So saying, he handed her his
card. She was greatly astonished, and
finally stammered out she would give an
answer the next day. On the following
morning he called at the house, the re-
ply was in the affirmative, and the coup
lie were recently married in great style,
the charming young actress finding her
self today a princess and happy wife

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.l
Our Southern Railroad.

Every part of the country is taking a
deep interest in our new railroad enter
prise, The Richmond Wing closes an
article on the subject by saying:
'sIn our view, the terminus is matter
Of secondary importance. The great
fact is the building railroad from the
Ohio to the heart of the South. A part
from the commercial effect, the moral,
social and political influences must be
incalculable. II this road had existed
ten years ago, there had been no war,
and the condition of the country ha0
been far different from what it is"
The Philadelphia Gazette on the same
subject says:
,.".The proposed Southern railroad from
Cincinnati.is of gigantic proportions
The map will show that it is needed, and
every consideration attests its beneficial
influence upon all Southern interests, as
well as upon those of Cincinnati and
the North. 1t is hardly too much to
say that the advantages st. Louis and
Chicago expect DO gain from the Pacific
Railroad will not be more sensibly felt
there than those to flow from the South
ern trunk. to Cincinnati, and that the
three rivals are again entered for as sharp
competition as they have ever had"

Opium in America.


At recent meeting of the New York
Farmers Club, MIR. w. G. Wilson, of
Vermont, interested the club with an ac-
connt of some novel experiments of his
in poppy growing. He has made OPT
uni for six years, and finds it wonder
fully profitable. On a square rod he
raised two and a half pounds, which he
sold for s18 pound. This is at the
rate of 81, 900 peracre On an erea' Of
PAGES by 10 he grew S6S worth. An
otheryear from 90 square rods he took
46 pounds Of opium. Planting on lar
ger scale, he gathered GAO pounds from
six acres in an unfavorable year. The
poppy is sowed and cultivated like any
other crop. Just before the seed pods
are mature, cut is made near the pod
or on its under surface, and milky sap
exudes. This is gathered the next day
ndanother small incision made. When
the stalk is pretty well bled, Wilson cuts
off the stalks, capsule and all, and grinds
them in mill of his invention. He u.s.
es alcohol NTH his pumaee, and obtains
ajustice which he dries away to a gum
on earthen plates. This gum=oplum he
mixes with the milk opium obtained as
de scribed.

rAE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY.
Tuesday, June 1, 1869.
Itrom the London Daily News, May 81
NOMOre Foreign american, Bonds
a-s Wanted In london,

In estimating The possible scope OF
this monetary disturbance it is very i'm
portant to bear in mind that trade has
little or nothing to do with it; the EN-.
barrassment arises almost exclusively
from our excessive imports of foreign
stocks-American and Continental-ansl
from our. engagements in new foreign
loans. The latter branch of the subject
calls for special attention, because our
holdings III new scrip entail financial OBJ
legations in the future which we can not
get rid of so easily as in the case fpaid-
up stocks having free currency through
ont the markets of the world The col
lapse which has token place to day in this
class ofproperty shows how frail is its
basis under the existing conditions. Sen
ator Sumner makes an exaggerated
speech-the Bank of England raises its
rate of discount ! per cent and the
foreign stock market is at once thrown
into d state of panic Upon the Inherent
unsoundness Of this department of the
Stock Exchange, resulting from the fact
that a very large amount offoreign Stock
Is held merely upon borrowed money,
instead of being placed among bona fde
investors, we have of late repeatedly in
sisted The prices of.oreign stocks had
been carried by spectators to point at
which the London market was constant
ly attracting fresh supplies from all quar-
ters. Had the movement proceeded
much further we might have found our.
selves plunged into deep embarrassment
The present reaction may be regarded as
natural and very salutary. A decided
check, though of course involving much
loss to individuals, was greatly required
Owing to the low value of money which
prevailed SO long, and to the lamentable
feeling of distrust of home joint stock en-.
terprise, foreign governments have late,
ly had an opportunity they surely wan
ted. For something like two years they
may be said to have almost monopoliz-
ed the English market, borrowing freely
atiexorbitant rates of interest, and at
least consistent in one respect, i c., in
showing an utter want of consideration
for the interests of the holders of their
previous loans. All these new issues
have now fallen together, as might have
been expected. at the first signal of al
arm, whether in the political or financial
world.
