SPE Al II AK DRAWBACKS Sheriff
Schenck returned to the city last night
from Raleigh, whither he had been to set
tie with the Pablo Treasurer. a careful
examination Of tho law, after his arrival
there, convinced him of tho fact that our
county WIS entitled to heavy drawback
for the special tax levied and collected for
the year 1869. He consulted Ex-Governor
Thos Bragg and Hon. !Sion II. Rogers,
and, backed by their opinion, declined to
pay over to tho Treasurer, unless the
drawback was allowed. This was refused
and Sheriff Schonck returned to the city
last night without having settled with the
Treasurer. He has been fully sustained in
this position by the Board of County Com
rnissioners, as witness.thcir proceedingg,
published elsewhere.
The amonnt due the State Treasurer, for
this year, from New Hanover county, is
S33, 900 and the amount OF drawbacks
claimed is S28, 900. The matter will prob
ably rest here for the present. -

KINDNESS OF WOMEN.

/ have observed among all women,
says Layard, that the women ornament
them selves more than the men that
wherever found, they are the same
kind, civil, obliging, humane, tender
beings that they are ever inclined TO
be gay and cheerful, timorOus and
modest. They do not hesitate, like a
man, to perform, an hospitable or
generous action not naughty or AFRO
CANT, or supereiliOus, but fun Of eOur-
tesy, and fond Of society; Industrious,
economical, ingenious, more liable in
general to err than man, but in gem
eral also more virtuous, and perform
ing more good actions than he. I
never addressed myself in the Ian
guage Of decency and friendship to a
woman, whether civilized or savage,
without receiving q decent aud
friendly answer. With man it has
often been otherwise. In wandering
over the barren plains OF inhOspitable
Denmark, through honest Sweden,
frozen Lapland, rude and churiish
Finland, unprincipled Russia, and the
widespread regions Of the wandering
Tartar, if hungry, dry, cold, wet or
sick women has ever been friendly
to me, and uniformly 50 and to add
to this virtue, so VIC thy of the appel
lation Of benevOlenee, these actions
have been performed in so free and so
kind manner, that if 7 was dry i
drank the sweet draught, and if hun
CRY ate the coarse mOrsel, with
double relish.

Why America Does Not SympafhIze
With Napoleon.


In the darkest hour Of the rebellion,
when the United States was humilia-
ted by the insOlent attitude of Eng
land in the affair Of the Trent, it is
well known that Napoleon strongly
urged upon Lord Palmerston a declar-
alton OF war by France and England
against this country, for no reason
whatever but to break up and destroy
its republican government. Failing
in this, the despOt undertook to de-
strOy the Republic Of Mexico, and
erect a monarchy on this continent,
as q standing menace to the United
states. Getting kicked out Ct that
country, he contrived to leave Maxi
milan, the unfortunate dupe Of his
duplieity, and the tool Of his ambi-
tiOn, TO be captured and put to death by
the enragedand outraged republican
MeXicans for the crimes which the
unscrupulOus French Emperor had
committed against them. Had the
South won the battle Of slavery, it is
well known that an alliance with
Napoleon was one Of the first fruits
it anticipated. His ports were always
freely opened to pirate ships, and it
was from CherbOurg that the Alabama
sailed when the Kerseage sent her to
the bottom. During the whole con-
test not a word of sympathy or ap-
prOval greeted the North from the
Government Of France Chicago Re
publican.

THE LOVE OF THE BEAUTIFUL.

What are half the crimes in the
world committed for? What brings
into action the best virtues? The
desire of possessing. OF possessing
what ?-not mere money, but every
species of the beautiful which money
can purchase. a man lies hid in q
little, dirty, smoky room for twenty
years Of his life, and sums up as
many columns of figures as would
reach round half the eafth, il they
were laid at length; he gets rich (;
what does ne do with his riches ?
He buys a large, well-proportioned
house; in the arrangement of his
furniture he gratifies himself with
all the beauties which splendid col
oFs, regular figures and smooth sur
faces can convey; he has the beau
ties Of variety and association in his
grounds; the cup out Of which he
drinks his tea is adorned with beau
tifll figures; the chair in which he
sits is covered with smooth, shining
leather; his table-elOth is Of the most
beautiful damask; mirrors reflect the
light from every quarter of the room;
pictures of the best masters feed his
ewes with all the beauties of imita-
ton. A million Of human creatures
are employed in this country in min-
istering to this feeling Of the beauti-
full. 1t is only barbarous, ignorant
people that can ever be occupied by
the necessities of life alone. If to
eat and to drink, and to be warm
were the only passions Of our minds,
we should al 6e What the lOWest of
US az are at this day. The love Of
the beautiful calls man to fresh eXer-
tions, and awakens him to a more
noble life; and the glory Of it is, that
as painters initiate, and poets sing,
and statnaries carve, and architects
rear up the gorgeous trophies Of their
skiIl-as everything becomes beauti-
full and orderly, and magnificent
the activity Of the mind rises to still
greater sad to better Ohjeota,

ORIGIN nF THE WIG.

The dissipation of Henry III. of
France, brought OR diseases by which
he lost his hair. He covered his dis
hOnored head with a wig, and the
eourtiers and fops or Europe soon felt
ashamed to be seen with their own
natural growth Of hair. This hot,
unhealthy, and unbeeoming append
age to the human head continued Ia
vogue till the French Revolution,
when it was swept away with other
external signs of arlstoeraey. But for
q long time afterwsrd it was deemed
a mark of democratic vulgarity to ap-
pear on public occasions without a
wig. A Prussian clergyman, who at
tempted to preach with his head un-
covered, incurred such serious risks
that the Government was obliged TO
interfere for his protection and a
Spanich judge came very near losing
his Office by committing the same in
discretion. To this day judges and
lawyers do not venture to show them
selves IN court, till they have covered
their shapely heads with enormous
wigs, frightful to look UpOn.-LydiG

EATING TOO MUCH.

It Is related Of a Roman ruler, thas
after eating a hearty meal he WOuld
take an emetie that he might indulge
in eating another. This, perhaps IS
seeking for a pleasure at dearer rate
than nOst people are inclined % la-
dulge in; yet the principle OF the
thing exists in more people than we
are disposed at first to admit lis
very common as warm weather ap-
prOaches, to continue our usual allow
anee, though there is less need than
during the cold weather; and we only
feel the bad effects after the stomach
has been Over-taXed sufficiently long
to cause headache, dizziness Iassitude
and general debility. Great varieties
at meals lead to ii, because eating q
little 0fa great many things, viii make
q great deal in the end, and thus we
often eat more than we really need.
Eating when the system is weary
willlead US into the same error, for the
very weakness existing in the body,
influences the tOhols body, 50 that the
stomach cannot digest what it other
wise would an3 Is weakened con-
ditiOn it frequency presents inOrdi-
nate demands, and we eat too much.
Eating bits at all hours Of the day leads
Us into the habit Of eating too much;
for by this habit, the normal condi-
ton Of the stomach is subverted, and
while thus used 1t cannot be a faith
ful monitor Of the wants Of the system.
Thus, the constant tendency OF both
adults and children is to eat too much
for health, and it is no doubt a fact
that more people die from gluttony
than from starvation. The multi
tudes Of dyspepties are not generally
made 80 by short allowances Of proper
food, but by inordinate stufhng OF
rich viands, or by improper diet and
imperfect nOurishment. Thus, the
principle Of the Roman continues to
work, though we may not go as far as
he did yet we love to eat, and often
love TO eat too much.

OLD TIME MARRIAGE.

To ne Editor Of ne Cincinnati GGzstte:
Inotieed in the Gazette, Of January
%, an extract from the Boston AdUer-
tiSer, on old time marriages. The
writer seems to doubt the truth Of
such a custom as q woman standing
up to take the VOWS OF matrimOny
with no other dress on her person
than her under garment. I was told
by an old lady, who was young girl
at the time Of the Revolutionary war,
that there was an old English law
that when a man died in debt, IL his
widow married a second time in a
public place, dressed in that manner,
her husband could not be made to
pay her former husbands debts, and
that 1t was pFacticed to some. extent
in America before the Revolution, or
while she was under the English
government. The old lady said she
knew Of one such marriage (she did
not see it,. The bride had q corps of
lady attendants, and after going into
q public place, court, I think, j they
stripped her Of everything but her
under garment, standing around her
so that she was not exposed to the
gaze Of the crowd, no gentlemen be-
ing able to see her except the minis
ter and groom. After the ceremony
they (her attendants) dressed her,
and they all went out Of the Court.
There were some strange laws In
England in olden times The above
is not half so strange nor vulgar IS
another law have in print In a very
old book. The law was that If a
widow forfeited her right to her hus-
bands estate, by unlawful conduct,
she could redeem it again by riding
into Court backward, on a sheep, say
ing, Here 1 am, riding on q black
ram, &C., whereupOn the Court was
obliged 70 give her back her land.

Beautifni Thought.

There is but breath of air and
a beat Of the heart between this
world and the next. Andin the brief
interval OF s painful and awful sus-
pense, while we feel that death is
with US, that we are pOWerless, and
he ali powerful, and the last faint
pulsati0n here is but the prelude of
endless life hereafter, we feel in the
midst Of stunning calamity about to
befalI us, that earth has no compen-
sating good to the severity OfOur loss.
But there is no grief without some
benehcent provisions to sOften Its In
tensities. When the good and the
lovely die, the memory Of their good
deeds, Like the moonbeams on the
stormy sea, lights up-Our darkened
hearts, and lends to the surrounding
a beauty so sad, so sweet, that We
would not, if we could, dispel the
darkness that envirOns us.

the following account Of Javanese

In the interior Of Java are several

much as their letters are carried to
the Iesideney for examination before
being delivered at the palace, keep up

only twenty-eight years cid he is Of

green, his eyes large and haggand,
with great painted eyebrows. This
young man, whose petticoat and vest
made him look like tropical parrot,
was surrounded by three hundred
cousins and nepheWE, and four thou
sand great lords and officers, on al
fours! He had been married at
twelve years Of age, and bis thirty
third son, bowling baby Of day

wss the child Of the Grand Sultana,
and was destined to pass over the
heads Of thirty-tWa brothers, and in
herit his fathers throne. As 70 the
