and readable articles on the subject of health
The following extracts are from an article
entitled can Unbounded Stomach.n:-

organs, depend the color of the skin, the

his dinner table at Metz the members of his
family, Of whom several are in the army
They were waited upon by servant of re-
markably good appearance and manner; so
good, indeed, that the Marshal's wife was
struck with it, and expressed her astonish-
inent on leaving the table. The Marshal at
first laughed at his wife's remarks, assuring
her that the servant was not grand seigneur
in disguise, but rdlet de chambre. Never
theless, the Marshars wife insisted so strong
ly, that the handsome looking servant was ar
rested. He turned out to be a Prussian ofii-

A Young Man Coerced into n Mnrriag ge

lFrom the Baltimore Gazette, August q i
Frank Duhurst was arraigned before JUS
tice Wheeler yesterday on the charge of
Threatening to shoot Charles Gillian, and
forcing him to marry Elizabeth Duhurst," a
sister of the first named. Robert Everett
was also taken into custody, charged with
being an accessory in the alleged outrage.
During the examination the complainant,
Gillian, modest youth. of about nineteen
Summers. detailed his connection with the
case, in substance as follows: Several weeks
since he met Miss Duhurst at her residence
on Lexington street, near Poppleton, and be-
ing attracted by her personal appearance
aud fascinating manners, became an atten-
tive admirer aud visitor. During one of these
visits he was led to believe that hi, would be
affisnced was not as "pure as ice, or chaste
as snow" and he soon after ceased his visits
to her residence, after, it Is said, having been
guilty of criminal intercourse with the girl.
After having absented himself for several
days, he received on Saturday last tender
missive from his fair friend, containing a re-
quest for an immediate interview. He at
once obeyed the summons, and, on entering,
found Miss Duhurst reclining carelessly in
an arm chair, and in few moments they
were both engaged in an interesting CONVEX
sation. In few minutes after the appear

from the rear, and drawing revolver, loaded
and capped, pointed 1t at the terrified youth,
and, after insinuating that his sisters char
acter had been ruined, demanded that he,
Gillian, should instantly offer the only re-
dress in his power. and marry her. He was
very coolly informed that unless he yielded
to the arrangement at once his life would
pay the forfeit. In view OF the peculiar sur
roundings" the frightened lover consented
hastily to the marriage. Duhurst at once
called his friend and ordered him to procure
a license and the services of a minister, both
Of which indispensable articles were in due
time obtained, and in the twinkling of an
eye the "happy pair" were united in the holy
bonds OF matrimony, the minister, whose
name did not transpire, it is supposed being
ignorant of the nature of the case. The
"happy man" was then permitted to depart,
which he did at once, aud left the city for
several days to avoid meeting his ''bride !"
He finally concluded to return and brave the
consequences, and accordingly did so yester-
day and obtained warrants for the arrest of
Duhurst and Everett, both of whom, after
the examination, we're released on security
to appear at the Criminal Court. The affair
has caused considerable excitement in the
Western section of the city. where the par
ties are known.

-, A Thanksgiving dinner is nothing more
tnan penance, if it leave after it the sense of
piethora. There ought ai,oays to be in the
stomach some room, some chance for greater
dtstention. To stretch it to its full limit not
only destroys its elasticity, but brings tor

treated as machine with nice adjustments,
and not merely as a sack, or receptacle tor
the waste material of the satisfied palate.

The colored cadet at West Point is still
in trouble. The circumstances of the last
difficulty are given by republican journal,
the N. Y. Sun, as follows:
"The other day while Smith was on guard
duty, he went to the tank Tor water for the
guard, and there found other cadets ahead of
him. 1t is customary for each cadet to take
his turn at the tank, and when many meet
at the same time line il formed Tor that
purpose. When Smith came up, he attempted
to push away cadet who was ahead of him,
at the same time exclaiming, Il want water
for the guard Take your turn, said the
cadet thus addressed, little fellow named
Wilson, not near so large as Smith. The
colored boy again attempted to crowd Wilson
out Of his turn, whereupon Wilson struck at
him. Smith then struck Wilson on the head
with his dipper, so hard as to break the cup
portion from the handle. Then, with the
handle he struck him again, cutting cash
over his eye. Wilson was removed to the
hospital and his wound dressed, aud then he
was placed under arrest. Smith was also
placed under arrest, and court of iniquiry is
to investigate the matter"

CONCERNING PoRILAND-The editor
the Hudson (N.T.p Daily Register was in
this city few days since and he writes to
his Journal very lfattering account of our
city. He says
wrote to you from this place few months
after the great confagration of July 4th and
9Th, 1866, which laid in ashes nearly the en-
tire business portion of the city, rendering
houseless and homeless more than twelve
thousand people, destroying two Thousand
buildings covering street frontage of seven
teen miles, and involving loss of at least
fifteen millions cf dollars.
The picture which Portland presented, and
which endeavored to portray to our readers,
when l last wrote to you, in December fol-
lowing that great fire, was deplorable one
indeed. But to-day magical change has
been wrought-from the chaos of 1866 has
been created a magnificent city of marble,
stone and brick, and, with the exception of
few buildings left standing on the outskirts
of the burnt district and clearly defining the
course of the destructive element, there are
no landmarks by which the old city could
possibly be recognized, so complete has been
the transformation. Narrow streets have
been widened, new streets laid out, and,
save here and there vacant lot, all are lin
| ed the costly stores. warehouses; Offices
| quisite and varied architecture.
Nearly everything destroyed in the CITY
has been restored in grander and improved
form, with the exception of the stately and
venerable elms which were at once the pride
and boast of its citizens. These time nor
skill, nor industry. can ever replace, and
nothing but charred trunks, blackened
stumps, and scorched and lifeless limbs re-
main to mark the lines of beautiful foliage
which gave to Portland the name of the
| Forest City," Its cognomen may now most
| appropriately be changed TO ''Phenix City,"
| for verify has it arisen from its ashes with
redoubled spendor and strength.
The fiery ordeal which this city -pAeoeu
| through was terrible one.-bsc- The enter
| prise and energy of iie-people have turned
| their calamity>to blessing in the improved
buildings and enlarged business which it has
been the means of creating. The effort must
have taxed their resources and powers to the
utmost, but they proved equal to the fearful
emergency, and have won the highest honors
by their accomplishments.
Nature has been prolific in its gifts to
Portland. The surrounding scenery is of
rare sublimity; the harbor is one of the best
in the world, for easy access, depth of water
and protection to vessels from the severity of
the storms that frequent this section Of the
Atlantic coast: and Casco Bay is studded
with fairy-sike Islands which are perfect gems
of natures beauty. The Grand Trunk Rail-
way to Canada and the Winter Line of Euro
pean Steamers have contributed largely to its
increasing business. From the great caam-
ity of four years ago it has not only COM
pletely recovered, but it now bids fair to
speedily rank as the third city in commercial

crowded street car were startled by the soft
cooing of a couple in one corner. A blue
veil hid the lady's face, and the gentlemans
hand was playing nervously with its folds.
you love me, then?" they heard him
say.
The reply was in tone less loud, but its
accent was tender as heart could wish.
Il have loved you so long," the swain con-
tinued, "and l have almost been afraid to in
dulge the sweet hopes that are now resolving
themselves into certainty"
WAS you afraid of pa?"
SNo, but of you" -----..---
"Why should you be afraid me?"
because it seemed so impossible that you
should love me-"
"Why?"
"Pm homely; my face is not handsome;
have nothing that attracts the love of
women"
"But you are rich." the lady archly replied.
"Passingly so, but not very"
The conversation had by this time grown
aosorolngly interesting, and every ear was
listening in the crowded car.
would you marry me if was poor?"
"How can you ask-am mercenary?"
"No-but so many are"
There was momentary silence, and then
the whispered conversation was resumed
with mutual confession. In plain words,
both acknowledged resemblance to Jobs
turkey neither had a cent. They would
commence their married life very much as
they begun the world-wth nothing. The
mutual confession was evidently a damper
on their enthusiasm. They were silent. The
lady cast furtive glances at the swain, and at
last murmured audibly:
I'm too young to marry"

hesitating accent about it that meant more
than the language. But the answer came
