4 Washington Shoemakers Daughter
Captivates Foreign official Officer.

Here is sprigblly bit OF fashionable gos
sip, Pierre Bonaparte has become famous
for marrying a saddlers daughter and shoot.
ing an offensive editor. The first act was
regarded Is noble piece Of beroism on bis
part. A certain young foreign gentleman
residing in this city has furnished almost
parallel to Pierre Bonapare's honorable
conduct toward a saddler's daughter. The
story is this: The young gentleman was
walking down Pennsy ivauia avenue about
three or four weeks ago, enjoying pleas
ant promenade along cur Washington
Broadway, when bis attention was suddenly
attracted by very pretty girl standing in
the doorway OF shoe store. Our hero was
fascinated iusisntaneously. 1t was literally
'ove at 6rst sight. On preiense Of making
some purchases in the leather line, be en-.
tered The store, engaged in conversation
with the maiden, and discovered she was
the daughter OF the proprietor. Our hero
found excuses for making subsequent visits
to the store, and finally the parents OF The
girl, noticing The disparity in rank was too
great to admit Of proper addresses, politely
informed him that they would prefer him to
discontinue his calls. The young gentle
man, with an unexpected madness and evil
dsut sincerity, told the parents that bis in.
tentions were honorable to the last degree :;
that be loved the daughter devotsdIy, and
that, though their respective stations differed
widely, an arrangement could be made
which, he hoped, would prove satisfactory
to both sides. He told the father that bis
child was yet young enough to be thorough.
ly educated and 6tt.d for any station in life
and that if lie would consent be (lhe Young
gent'eman) would have the girl sent to one
Of the best academies iD the country, there
10 be instructed in all the accomplishments
aud requirements desirable. The young
gentleman also offered TO give a solemn
pledge that he would never visit the young
lady at the academy, and that at the end of
the educational course, if she still entertain
ed feeling of affection for him, he would
lay at her lee: his hand and heart. l am
informed that the generous proposal bas
been accepted, and that the young lady is
now at female academy in "a neigbboring
city. The whole thing is looked upon here
as highly credtabls to all the parties con-
csrued. The young man occupies a very
high official positioD.- Washington Cor ".

DON'T STAY LATE TONIGHT.

The hearth OF home is bcaming
With rays of rosy light
And lovely eyes are cleaning,
AS falls the shades Of night;
And while thy steps are leaving
The circle pure and bright,
A tender voice half grieving,
Says: Don't stay late tonight"
The world in which thou movest
Is busy, brave and wide;
The world OF her thou lowest
Is On the ingle side.
She waits for thy warm greeting;
Thy smile is her delights;
Her gentle voice entreating,
Says Don't stay late tonight"
The world is cold, inhuman.
will spurn thee in thy fall;
The love OF one pure woman
Outlasts ard shames them all;
Thy children will cling around thee,
Let fate he dark or bright;
At home no shaft will wound thee,
Then, Don't stay late tonight"

The Link Between Men and Fish.

To believers in the Darwin theory it will
be an interest to know that in the quiet bays
and rivers on the eastern coast Of Central
and South America there lives an animal
which might be rightfully considered as the
connecting link between man and fish. 1t
is the manatee, the water siren, the sea calf,
or sea-cow; as the strange animal is some
times called.
1t belongs to the order of Cetacea, and is
altogether herbiverous, living on grass,
which it seeks on shore. The body is fish
shaped, and measures some fourteen or more
feet in length; the skin being very thick,
without hair, and ofdark color The upper
part of the body, especially Of the females,
much resembles that Of a woman, the breast
being Of the same form. In place of the
fms Of the ordinary fish, the manatee has a
short arm of only one joint, which terminates
in a short hand, on which the nail is dis
tinctly visible, which hand the animal uses
with much dexterity in moving about, and
in carrying its young. This limb has caused
the animal to be called the manatee, from
the Latin word mdnIs, the hand.
The writer, who for several years re-
sided in those countries where these animals
abound, has seen the animal, aud has heeu
told repeatedly by the natives that the fe.
male holds her cub to suckle as the mother
does her babe. The tail Of the manatee is
shaped like an open fan, and the close OBJ
server will perceive ten divisions, which
mark the ten toes. Manatees swim by helE
of this broad tail, which moves up and
down, and not from right to left like that Of
fish.
This limb, which at first appears to be
fin or nerve, melts entirely into butter when
fried in pan, and is highly priced by the
natives for ointments and other medical pur
poses The animal weighs from 1000 tc
800 pounds, and the meat is considered .
great relish. 1t looks and tastes much like
pork, and needs good deal Of cooking. Il
is a strange fact that the flesh keeps longer
from decay than any otter, and is not salted
like pork. They are caught with harpoons
by the Indians, who know their haunts and
customs, and it seems as if they were becom
ing more scarce every year.

The Policy of Railroad Land Grants
By II. r. PETERS.
ICONTINUED.1 l

| have said that we can succeed in set
ting our remaining territory without these
vast subsidies but if / should admit that
wo might possibly succeed little better
through their aid, or that we should even
succeed as well in that way, l should ig-
more the most conclusive and unanswera-
BILE Of all the reasons which unite in con-
demning this land-grant policy. l know
well that the great States have named,
prosperous as they are, would be still more
prosperous to-day, vastly more prosperous,
if land grants and the sale of land to specu-
lators in large bodies had not condemned
millions Of acres Of their fertile soil to
practical sterility, through the exclusion
Of settlers by holding these lands for in
creased prices. And here let the fact
be noted, that, although it is twenty years
since the Illinois Central Railroad received
its subsidy, it had on hand on the 1st Of
January, 1859, 527,690 acres, or more
than One-ffth of its entire grant This,
too, in the populous State Of Illinois, where
the ownership Of land has already become
difficult, and where, as a consequence, a
very considerable portion Of the land is
cultivated by renters. And lest it should
be said that this land has remained unsold
on account Of its quality, let me state the
further fact that although unimproved, it
was held by the company at the average
price Of $l4.O2 per acre. Yet, with this
land and millions Of acres more in other
old States, which is still unoccupied, for the
sole reason that it was passed out of the
possession Of the Government to corpora

How Higgins Broke the News Gently.

Mark Twain contributes the following
to the GALAXY
"Yes, / remember that anecdote," the
cuuday School Superintendent said, with
the old pathos in his voice and the old
sad look in his eyes. 1T was abvu. :
simple creature named Higgins, that used
to haul rock for old Maltby. When the
lamented Judge Bagley tripped and fell
down the Court House stairs and broke
his neck, it was a great question how to
break the news to poor Mrs. Bagley.
But finally the body was put into Hig
gins wagon, and he was instructed to take
it to Mrs. Bagley, but to be very guarded
and discreet in his language, and not break
the news to her at once, but do it gradual
ly and gently. When Higgins got there
with bis freight, he shouted till Mrs. Bag
ley came to the door. Then be say:
Does the widder Bagley live here 2"
The widow Bagley? No sir Y
"I'll bet she does. But have it your
own way. Well, does Judge Bsgley live
here "
Yes, Judge Bagley lives here"
I'll bet be don't. But never mind
amt for me to contradict. Is the Judge
in?"
No, not at present"
jest expected as much. Because
you know-take hold o suthin, mum, fol
I'm going to make a little communica
ton, and reckon maybe it'll jar you
some. There's been an accident, mum
I've got the old Judge curled up out here
in the wagon, and when you see him you'll
acknowledge, yourself, that an inquest i
about the only thing that could be com
fort to him !"
