How Some People Marry.

A young man meets a pretty face in tho
ball room, falls in love with it, courts it, mar
ries it, goes to house keeping with it, and
boasts Of having home and IA wife to grace
it. The chances are nine to ten, that he has
neither He has been ''taken in and done
for" Her pretty face gets to be an old sto-
~, or becomes faded or freckled, OR fretted,
and as the face was all he wanted, all he PAID
attention to, all he sat up with, all he bar
gained for. all he swore to love, honor and
protect he gets sick of his trade, knows of
dozen faces he likes better, gives up staying
at home evenings, consoles himself with ci-
CARS, oysters and politics, and looks upon his
home as very Indifferent boardiog-house.
A family of children grows up about him;
but neither he nor his face knows anything
about training them, SO they come up hclter-
SHELTER, made toys of when babies, dolls when
boys and girls, drudgcs when men and women;
and not one quiet, happy, homely hour known
throughout the whole household,
Another young man becomes cnamored
with "fortune" He waits upon it to par
ties, dances the polka with it, exchanges bill
let doux with it. pops the question to it, gets
accepted by it, takes it to the parson, weds it,
calls it wife. carries it home, sets up an
establishment with it, introduces it to his
friends, and says he, too, is married, and has
got home. It is false. He is not married,
he has no home. And he soon finds it out,
He is in the wrong box; he mig hit as we'll
hope to get out of his cofiin His friends
congratulate him, and he has to grin and bear
it. They praise the house, the furniture, the
cradle, the new baby, the new Bible, and bid
TIE fortune" and he who husbands it good
morning. AS if he had seen good morning
since he and that gilded fortune were declared
to be one.
Take another case. A young woman Is
smitten with pair of whskers, curled hair,
never before such charms She sets her cap
for them; they take. The delighted wills.
kers make an offer, profering themselves both
in exchange for one heart. The dear miss is
overcome with magnanimity, closes the bar
gain, carries home the prize, shows it to pa
and ma, and calls herself engaged to it, thinks
there never was such pair Of whiskers be-
fore, and ia a few weeks they are married.
Married. Yes the world calls it so, and so
will we. What is the result? A short hon.
eymoon and then the discovery that they are
as unlike as chalk and cheese, and not to be

dom pronounce them So j-4'

Who Of us would forget the night We de-
serted the army Of ''old bachelors" and fed
to the camp of our enemy; when we put out
the camp fire which was feebly glmmeriug
on the banks of the lone river, and crossed
over to the house where there was light IN

Senate this morning 10 is quite lengthy, and
goes into an elaborate analysis of the testimony
taken by the committee, reviewing at length the
evidence of Babcock and Perry the commercial
agent OF the United States at San Domingo City,
concluding with recommendation that the petition
of Hatch be indefinitely postponed. The committee
state that while General Babcock may have been
guilty OF some indiscretions there Is nothing In evi
dence to show that he was in any way guilty OF any
attempt to keep Hatch in prison. The
minority report = which is signed by Ferry,
SchurZ, and Vickers - censures the
conduct of Babcock and charges that he connived
with certain parties in San Domingo to keep Hatch
in Jail for some purpose best known to the parties
themselves. They recommend that the fifty thousand
dollars damages set forth in the petition OF Hatch
against the Dominican Government be collected by

The N. Y. Herald's Washington correspondent
writes:-
Mr.. Akerman, the new Attorney General who ar
rived here last night on the Potomac boat remained
in his apartments most OF the day receiving q large
number OF callers, principally prominent gentlemen
from thh South. This afternoon he called at Bradys
photograph gallery. AT the wish OF the President
Mr.. Akerman will not be sworn in for some days,
as Mr. HOar will continue in Office until the COM
pletiOn OF certain public business relating his de-
paItment ana upon which he has been engaged for
some time. AHH
In brief conversation to-day with your CORES
pondent, Mr.. Akerman remarked that In his opinion
the whole question Of reconstruction was Involved
IN the phrase .in the Union" that from the very
rst act OF reconstruction the continued existence OF
States was recognized; that they were not desig-
mated Rebel territory, but Rebel States, which ind-
Gates either tnat there was an objectionable over

acknowledgment OF the Immortality OF the State
He said, while this admitted there was no cues

down, and though the existence OF the State mad
not terminated, its government had, as far as
It's relations TO the Union were concerned, and by
the legislation OF the National Government II was
necessary 20 reconstruct and build up the Govern
ment. On this question OF reconstruction the views
OF Mr.. Akerman are very lucid and simple, and a
little OF his knowledge OF the subject would not have
been a bad thing for Congress. There Is not the
least doubt, II Impressions be criterion TO Judge
by, but that In the selection OF Mr.. Alderman the
President has made good choice. As q Competent

in the Police Court on charge OF disturbance; and

parties. f# .
Some time ago young gentleman OF this city saw
and fell desperately in love with young lady, also
resident here. The young man, believing in the
truth OF the old proverh that aint heart neer won
fair lady," made determined and desperate love TO
the fair one, and was at last oVeroyed at receiving
from her confession that the alteration was mu-
tnal. Arrangements were promptly made TO have
the marriage bell tolled, and after the fair one
had been allowed ample time to pre-
pare, the Inevitable orange-wreath, and nll
the necessary Safatogas with her outfit, the happy
youth dOnned his spike-tailed coat and white Kids
and, accompanied by the friends and relatives OF
both bride and groom, proceeded 20 the church with
his blushiDg prize. Opposition, however met them
at the door in the person OF Jaques VINO had armed
himself with number or stones from the macada-

savage attack upon the party aud the
groom enraged ana the brides nerves re-
ceived a shock from which she did not soon
recover. After continuing the assault for few
minutes, the attacking party endeavored to retreat
in good order" but was arrested ana locked up on a
charge of disturbance. Yesterday, when the case
came up for trial, Judge schooner was, on hearing
the evidence. impressed with the belief that amuse
ment OF the Kind lndulged in was worth twenty-h
dollars to any man, and in consequence requested
the support OF the city government. No reason was
