IT is said that the twenty-three re-

siding in New York, the youngest Of whom
is seyenty-two years old, live in Carr cts,

old canal boat, in abject want.
Two Lancaster (Mass.) ladies started
petitions, the one asking the Legislature
to grant woman suffrage, and the other
praying for the continuance of the pres

The Marriage OF Royal Prince to a
Merchs snt's Daughter. 3alog

THE New York Tribune says:
One of those events which occasionally
.transpire to assert, in the most emphatic
manner, the leyeling spirit of the age, oc
Cured on Saturday in this city. This was
no less than the marriage of Prince of
the ancient and conservative house of
Bourbon to the daughter of a Cuban
merchant. The story-a most romantic
one--is as follows Some three or four
years ago Mrs. Hamil, the wife of well
known merchant in Havana, left that city
to place her daughter in q school in Paris.
They stopped for some time in this city,
having rooms at Delmonico's, and made
many warm friends wherever they were
known. ado ,,.a4,ss3
The daughter, possessed of more than
ordinary omplishments and personal
charms, attracted much attention among
the best society of the gay French capital.
She was received in the most exclusive
circles, and it is said was frequent guest
at the Imperial Court. Among the many
distinguished gentlemen who paid her
their court was Prince Louis de Bourbon,
SON of Louis, Count d'Aquilla, one of the
chief members of the Bourbon family.
The Prince proposed to her and was &C
cepted, under the mothers sanction, but
when Count d'Aquilla learned the inten-
ton of his sou, his pride revolted at what
he and others of royal blood considered
mesalliance, and he not only forbade the
match, but used his influence with the
Emperor to induce the latter to disoounte-
nance it should the Prince seek his sup
port. The lovers, in company with the
lady's mother, then determined to go to
England and there fulfill the marriage, but
the father interfered, and succeeded in
preventing them from carrying itgouta
After more than one disappointment
from the refusal of the Catholic clergy to
perform the ceremony, the prosecuted ones
determined to proceed to the United
States, where they hoped to find no diff
Guilty in fulfilling their contract; but even
in this free country the influence of con-
servatism prevailed SO far that the Catho-
lie clergy still declined to have anything
to do in the matter. However, a marriage
according to the civil rights Of the coun-
try was consummated on Saturday evening
last, and thus all opposition and persecu-
tion was overcome. This marriage, al
though perhaps it would not be acknowl-
edged among the crowned heads of Europe,
is perfectly legal in the United States and
all Protestant countries, and Ss such it
will never be disputed. The Prince, it is
understood, should his family prove obdu-
rate, is prepared to renounce his rights as
one of the royal house of Bourbon, and
will content himself with the possession of
his beautiful wife.

The Number Nine.

THE number nine possesses some re-
markable properties. If the nine digits,
/, 2, 5, 6, Z, 8, 8, be added together,
the sum will be 45, which is equal to 5
times 9, and the sum of the digits of their
sum, and 5, is 8. If any number is sub
tracted from another having the same
digits in different order, the remainder
will be divisible by nine, and the sum of
the digits Of the remainder will also be
subtraciing 29s7e84 from 7364s9,
there remains 4416795, which is equal to
8 times 490955, the sum of the digits, 4, a,
1, 6, Z, 8, 5, is 36, which is divisible by 8.
If any number be multiplied by 8, the
sum ofthe digiis, or figures, of the product
will be divisible by9 Nine times 43780135
is 394021215; the sum of the digits of this
product is 81, multiple Of o. The solu-
tions of number of interesting arithmet-
ical puzzles depend upon the above prop
critics of 8. 3alas9
If number be substracted from another
having the same digits in different order,
and one of the digits of the remainder
erased, it can be found in the following
manner: Add together the figures of the
remainder that are left, divide the sum
by 8, subtract the figure that remains
after dividing by 8 from 8, and this last
remainder viii be the digit, or figure,
sought. If there is no remainder, 0 or 8

TIE most extraordinary skill that is
exhibited in this part of the country, either
by the white man or red native, is in the
practise of trailing. Here it may be ac-
counted an art as much as music, painting
or sculpture is in the East. The Indian or
trapper that is shrewd trailer is man
of close observation, quick perception and
prompt action. As he goes along, nothing
escapes his observation, and what he sees
and hears he accounts for Immediately.
Often net another step is taken until a
mystery that may present itself in this
line is fairly solved. The Indian trailer
will stand still for hours in succession, to
account for certain traces or effects in
tracks, and sometimes give to the mat
ter unremitting attention for days and
weeks.
. The trailer is not graceful man. He
carries his head much inclined, his eye is
quick and restless, always on the watch,
and he is practising mis- art unconsciously
hardly ever crossing the track of man or
animal without seeing it. When he enters
house, he brings the habits he contracted
in the practise of his art with him.

room. He comes in through the door
softly, and with an air of exceeding eau
ton. Before he is fairly in, or at least
has sat down, he has taken note of every
article and person, though there may be a
dozen vacant chairs In the room. He is
not used to chairs, and, like the Indian,
prefers more humble seat When was

There are no pockets in dead

The Lord has many fine farms
from which he receives but little

Acquire honesty; seek humility;
practice economy; love fidelity.
A man had better be poisoned in
his blood than in his principles.
Prayer is a key which, being
turned by the hand of faith, I'M

Christians, to use familiar fig
ure, are like coals-they burn
brighter when gathered into heaps.
Never lay stumbling block in
the way ola man who is trying to
advance himself in the world hon-
estly and uprightly.
God repented, it is said, that he
had made man. but we never find
that he repented he had redeemed
man.
1t is greatly to be feared that
those persons never mourned for
their own sins who can rejoice at
other peoples.
When persons are upon good
terms with themselves it is aston
ishing how littlethey read the soul

gospel.
1t was the beautiful thought Of a
pious Christian expressed in prayer

We ought to lessen our occasion
for external change and spasmodic
amusement, by putting more salts

task and hope, lending more ideal
interest and freedom to our ordina-

to Christians, taken from the four
cardinal graces SO essential to mans
salvation: Saints, for their holiness;
believers, for their faults; brethren,
for their love; disciples, for their
knowledge.

Colonel Hammett's insinuations as to i'm
proper influences brought to bear for the
passage of what he calls the Governors pet
scheme, the Blue Ridge Railroad, are
wholly wanton and gratuitous. That great
measure commended itself so strongly to
the favorable judgment of the State and
the General Assembly that such appliances
were entirely unnecessary.
we have not the time to go into an ex-
animation of Colonel Hammett's figures. or
their delusive character, in reference to the
condition of the road, conld readily be

posted IN the Bank of the State, and sold
for Confederate bonds and Confederote
notes, and ut the close of the war there
were upwards of 100000 in Confederate
securities in the vaults of the bank which
had been received from this source. It ia
also known that the President of the road,
oy pubic advertisement, invited the hold
ers OF the bonds payable in 1868, '64. '65
and 6S, to exchange them for the new issue
OF Confederate States bonds" aud that
large amount of said bonds were so ex-
changed, and that other large amounts of
said bonds were purchased by the company
for Confederate bonds and Confederate
notes the earnings of their road, and that

ton OF the bonds so exchanged and pur.
chased for Confederate securities, and which
are now proposed to be endorsed by the
State are at present in the possession of
the company.
1T may be hoped, from these statements,
that enough has been shown to Justify the
Governors opinions as to the uncousttu-
tionallty and inexpediency of the Act
under consideration, and that indulging
them he wonld be false to his oath of Office,
