The Coming Man.

The Coming Man.
While our fine girls are bemoaning the
lack of young men, and the scarcity of
beaux who are marriageable and who mean
marriage, there is class of young men
whom they do not recognize at all. yet
who will furnish to the next generation
its men of enterprise, of power, OF posi-
ton, and of wealth. 1t is not the sons of
the rich, who WILL as rule, remain rich.
The sons of the poor will get rich and
there sare to-day, drudging in offices,
counting rooms, and manufacturing es-
Establishments of all kinds, the men who,
in twenty-five years, will control the ma
tion socially, politically and financially.
Every man of them means to be married
they will. as rule, make excellent hus-
bands; They are all at work trying to
win success. They are men who would
be easily improved by recognition, and
by bringing them into good, intelligent
society; yet they are as little noticed as
if they were so many dogs. Excellent
young men from the country 60 into the
city and live for years without any socie-
ty, and are regarded by the fashionable
young women with indifference or con-
tempt; but these young men have a hold
upon the future; and when their success
is known, in whatever field of enterprise
it may be. the fashionable world will be
glad to receive them as belonging to
their own number. We regret to say,
that as Il rnle, the young men for whom
4 position has been won by virtuous and
enterprising fathers amount to but little
in the world; and rejoice to say that
companions chosen from those who have
their fortunes to make and their posi- tions
to win, are those to whom well bred
woman can generally with salty intrust
her happiness and herself Holland.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION. Benz. r.
Bryant VS.. Owners of Steamer Eastern
Queen. The defendants are common car
riers of passengers and ireights, and the
plaintiff was 4 passenger on board their
boat going from Boston to Gardiner, in
the State Of Maine, Sept. y, 1868. Dur
ing the passage, and shortly after the
passengers had risen from the supper
table, one ofthe walters accused q passen-
ger, named Coggin, of not having paid
tor his supper, and a talk took place be-
tween them, at which the plaintiff was
not present The plaintiff soon after
joined Coggin, ard while the waiter again
accused Coggin of not having paid for
his supper, the plaintiff stated that he
knew Coggin and would pay for his sup
per rather than have any trouble. Some
thing farther was said and one of the
walters then ordered Coggn into his
berth. The plaintiff then remarked that
he didn't think u waiter had any right to
order Il man to his berth. Whereupon
with some words the plaintiff was set up
on by the walters and severely beaten
and bruised, and iii fact so severely in
.jured that for months he was unable to do
any work. and his health and strength
permanently impaired.
For the injuries thus sustained the plain
tiff sued to recover damages, and the Jury
returned Il verdict for $4,000. The de-
PENDANTS excepted to certain rulings of
the Judge, which the Supreme Court
have overrued. and sent down 1.-THE fol-
lowing rescript: The contract of the de-
fendants, as carriers, was not merely for
shiproom and transportation from one
place to another, but for good treatment,
and a personal rudeness and any wanton
interference with the persons. either by
the carriers or the agents employed in the
management of the steamer, including
! the crew as well as the officers. The acts
proved were in violation Of the contract.
| DANIEL WEBsrER's OPINION Or BEN
BUTLER. For several years Butler was q
blaring Democrat. He was delegate to
all national conventions, and made him
self conspicuous by his servilc devotion
to the slaveholding interests. At the trial
of DR.. Webster. Butler attracted some
notice, and a gentleman who had met
him in conversation and taken q strong
aversion to him, asked Daniel Webster if
| he knew the man Butler, and What there
| was of him.
Il have seen him, Sir" was the reply.
''TIe is what we call sharp practition-
er. A pert, pushing lawyer, specifically
educated, with the impudence of the
| devil, and u conscience to match" !"
''such a man might be dangerous. Is he
| likely TO attain Il position in which he can
do much 2' "No sir, no danger Of that.
He is certain to be hung before he reaches
4 position of that kind" Albany Argus.
The Dubuque, Iowa, Times tells how a
tram load OF passengers We're saved

give way The engineer crowded on
steam, and just rs the last coach cleared
the bridge it tell into the stream below,
which was much swollen by the storm OF
the previous night. The passengers knew
nothing Of the great danger they had 50
narrowly escaped until informed Of it on
their arrival at Fort Dodge.
