cit seems there was 10 have bsen o wedding at
Albany on the Gath inst. rs q correspondent In
forms u.s. but Il proved TO be another illustration
Of tho ancient provorb that "the course Of true
love never runs smooth" There was charming
young widow who charmed railroad man, and a
mutual affection sprang mp, which was tho cause
of trouble to the mind of gallant butcher who
loved, it seems, but was not loved again, until ho
contrived 10 prejudice her mind by false yarns
about his rival, upon which he made application
and won from tho fair widow u fair promise to
marry him, the gallant butcher. instead. This Is
the wedding which was TO have taken place yes

onc fndng out tho falsehood Of her s'tother'
lover, sent again for tho gallant railroAder, made
II up with him, married him and won't of the

A FRIGHTFuL Academia shock
ing accident occurred, by which three
men lost their lives, in London, recent
~. They were employed in c0nstruc-
ting a sewer at Robert street, Mile End.
There was an excavation thirty feet In
depth in the middle of the road. The
excavation was narrow at the top
and as it was intended to have the
sewer bullying out at the bottom, six
men and a lad were ordered to dig
away the earth that was at the sides
of the bottom of the sewer, and they
accordingly did so for a distance OF
about thirteen yards along the bottom
part. The top part was shored up by
beams in the usual manner; but the
undermining of the lower earth caused
the upper crust to become loosened.-
The gauger of foreman of the works
felt the ground treruble underneath,
and he shouted out to the men at work,
ats going to fall in--look out |" Be-
fore the workmen could escape the
whole side of the sewer gave way, and
three of the men were instantly killed
Two men and a lad were partly buried
but were got out.

CoTToN.-It is reported that the
French Government has in view the
ievying of an import duty on the prin-
cipal raw materials used in the manu-
features of that country, and especially
upon the raw material of textile fab
RIGS. 1t is calculated that the duty on
cotton alone will yield revenue of
from twelve to sixteen millions of dol
lars per annum. The duties on for
eign manufactured fabrics will, it is
stated, be also raised. The heavy bur-
dens created by the recent war un-
doubtedly compel France to resort to
every practicable means for raising the
additional revenue required by her
heavy debt but the tax on raw mate
rails, it is argued, will prove injurious
to the industrial interests of the conn
try. AS the price of the manufactured
article will necessarily be raised, con-
sumption will be checked; and al
though French fabrics, by the beauty
of their designs, can always command
"a market, yet, in the line of cheap
goods, the English manufacturers will
have great advantages over their ri.
walls. The result of the tax on raw cot.
ton, it is stated, will be to drive the
manufacturers of fine cotton goods
from France over to England or to the
United States.

HEAVY CLoUD.-O Captain
Blank, of Stonington, relates the fol-
lowing remarkable incident that oc-
Cured while on the passage from New
York, some years ago. He observed,
one summer afternoon, q heavy cloud
arise from the land, aud, to his great
great surprise, approach the vessel
Suddenly it broke near him, and mil
lions of mosquitoes covered the deck
to seveial inches, while part of the
flock went through the maiDsail, leav-
ing nothing but the bolt ropes hanging
idly to the spars. Corrobora,ive evil
dence to this astonishing tale was
fonnd in the person of Il down-east
skipper, who heard the story, and who,
on comparing dates with the narrator,
declared that two days afterward his
ship was boarded by part of the
same flock, and they all wore canvas
breeches.

dances he condemns, not merely from
their immodesty, but because their TO.

Woman should be doctors, but they

curing most of them is to lift M the

the greatest remedial agents is sun

valuable, but baths of water are indis.
pensable. The ordinary bath tub is a

the edge turned up two inches, is the
best thing. When you want to battle

bath tub You need. Plenty of soap
and pair of loose mittens, of worn
ont crash complete the apparatus. All
baths should be hand baths. In cold
weather cold water is Indispensable +;
in hot weather hot water may be used.
If you are troubled with cold feet,
hold their soles fonr or FIVE minutes
in cold water, and then give them a
good rubbing; and if you are troubled
with burning feet, a frequent hot foot
bath will cure you. Get a pair of hair
mittens, and ut night, when you are
about to retire, rub every part of the
skin till it is as red as boiled lobster.
GymnastIc exercises should be practic-
ed at home, and women. when so en-
ployed, should wear a pair of loose
trousers and jacket.
We all eat too much. Our American
system of diet is bad. There is too
great variety; the food is too rich /;
the cooking is bah; we eat too often,
and we eat at the wrong times. DR..
Lewis gives an account ofa dinner al
the house of lady who is recognized
as stanfing at the head of the intellec-
tual aristocracy OF most intellectual
and refined city. The pla.e and crock
cry were most beautiful. The dinner
consisted of fonr little courses: LIST.
a small glass of lemonade ; ID, a bit of
melon; Sd, roast beet and sweet pota-
toes; 4th, ice cream. Nothing should
he eaten after dinner, and dinner
should be taken early in the day, not
later, if possible, than 2 o'clock. Eat
nothing between meals, not even an
apple or a peach. Avoid cakes, pies,
all sweetness, nuts, raisins, and can
dies. Wine and liquors DR.. Lewis
will not tolerate, and no young wo-
man who is ambitious of clear, fine
skin, will drink tea. Tea compromises
the complexion probably, by derang-
ing the liver. The best plan is To
drink nothing but cold water and as
little as possible of that, except that
one or two glasses on lying down at
night and on rising in the morning will

DEATH OF THE HERMIT OF THE
HUDsoN.--Daniel Williams, the hermit
of Hudson river, who has lived, for
many years in seclusion in little log
hut which lie had constructed upon the
eastern bank OF the river, near Kidney
Creek, in the town of Easton, WASH
ington county, was found dead in his
shapty few days since. The recluse
never left his hut for the haunts of man
except when his necessities required
that lie should 60 out and barter with
the world for provisions to sustain life.
Absenting himself beyond the usual
time, several of his neighbors visited
his dwelling and on kicking the door
open found the hermit lying upon the
floor stiff and cold. Judging from APP
.pearaHces, Mr.. Williams had been dead
some days, havingprobably fallen from
his chair, and expired instantly. He
was born and reared in Easton. Sew
eral years since, becoming Disguised
with the world, he took upon himself
the life of a hermit, and passed all his
time wholly exempt from the cares of
life, and in entire seclusion from the
world around him. He was man of
considerable ability, and said to have
been possessed of property at his
death.

SUMMERS REMOVAL Washington
special correspondent of the Louisville
Courier Journal says the removal of
Mr.. Simmer from the craftsmanship OF
the Committee on Foreign Relations
continues the exciting topic of CONVEX
sation in all political circles, aud its
probable effect upon the future of the
Republican party and the renomina-
ton of Grant are freely discussed. All
| Republicans, except few of Summers
I personal enemies in the Senate agree
that the occurrence is very damaging
to the party, and may prove disas-
trous; in short, that it was a gross po-
litical blun1er. The Democrats are
highly elated about the affair. They
say that the denomination of Grant is
inevitable, because there Is no man of
sufficient strength to oppose him, and
that his defeat will follow, as the ne
cessary result of the discussions occa-
stoned among the Republicans. The
correspondent has been assured by
many leading Republica; S, on the 9th
er hand, that Grants nomination is
now out of the question, and that it is
| necessary to begin to look about for a
more available candidate if the party is
to be saved from defeat. They argue
that the entire body of New England
Republicans will be hostile to him on
account of Mr.. Summers removal, and
that it has alienated also all original
anti-slavery men throughout the coun-
try, who have always formed the ac-
tive working element of the Republican
party. There is already much canvass
ing relative to the merits and popular
ity of many prominent Republican men
with 4 view to their possible candida
cy for the Republican nomination.
Among others the names of Coltax,
Blaine, Sumner, Logan, Schenck and
| Cox are chiefly mentioned.

WHY THE NEGRO WAS CREATED
BLACK. That the negro was formed
for the climate of Africa the whole
structure of his body unites to prove
First, as n protection to the brain
against the rays of the sun, his hair is
made to grow short and curly, and he
is furnished with a skull of enormous
thickness. In no other being do we
see the wisdom of the Creator mere
clearly exhibited than in the construc-
tion of the African. The sole OF his
fest are overlaid with thick layer of
tat-a bad conductor of heat-thereby
enabling him to walk a, his ease over
the burning sands, and forming fol-
him a far better protection than any
continuance the art of man could de-
wise. And now you may ask why did
God make the African black 2 l an
swer, IL order that he may be able to
keep cool in that torrld climate. A
black surface will radiate or part with
the heat much more rapidly than a
white one, an experiment that any one
may try. Take two vessels that are in
every respect the same-two teapots,
for instance, let one of them be cover
ed over with lampblack, then fill them
both with boiling water, and you will
find the black one will be cold much
sooner than the bright one. l believe
all scientific men agree that since the
creation of man large tract of land
stretching ont from Africa to New Hol-
land has been submerged, and is now
covered by the Indian Ocean. This
would readily account for the negro
being an inhabitant of that country !;
and such n change must have very
much modified the climate of Austria
liza. 1 have no doubt that in past ages
the different races of men must have
been far more numerous than at the
present. Those great revolutions that
raised the Alps from the bed of the
ocean, which submerged whole CONT
nents while they brought others into
existence, must have swept away whole
races of men, while others were lost
sight of, like the ten tribes of Israel,
through amalgamation. / think it is
plain that the African was distinct
race from the beginning, and that the
only reason for forming him as he is
was simply that all the earth might be
inhabited.-[E Exchange.
