CoURTINd IN CnuRcu.-A young gentle
man happening to sit at church in a pew
adjoining one in which was young lady,
for whom he conceived a sudden and violent
passion, felt desirous Of entering into court
ship on the spot, but the place not auiting a
formal declaration, the cxigency suggested
the following plan: He politely handed his
neighbo- bible, open, with a pin stuck in
the following verse: Second EWstlc of
St. john verse 7th-"And now beseech
thee, lady, not as though wrote new COM
mandmcnt unto thee, but that which we had
from the beginning, that VIC love one an
other" She returned it with the following
Second chapter of Ruth, 10th vcrse-"Then
she fell on. her face, and bowed herself to
the ground, and said unto him, why have |
found, grace in thine eyes, that chou Shouldst
take knowledge Of me-, seeing am strang-
err" He returned the book, pointing to the
18th verse of the Second Epistle Of Johd-
"I1aving many thingsto say untoyou, would
not with paper and ink, but I trust to come
unto you, and speak face to face" From
tho above interview, the marriage took
place the following week.

CHINESE kU-kLUX IN 0UIsIANA.-
One of our coast planters, who has a number
of Chinese laborers in his employ, seeing q
disposition on the part of fsome thenagroes
to annoy the Orientals; and apprehending a
resort by the latter to the use Of the sharp
knives which they always wear, cautioned
them not to take the law into their own
hands, but in case they were troubled BY
any negro to bring the offender before! him
and he would see thatjustiee was done. sAccer-
ingly one day the planter, whilst sitting on
his gallery, observed a procession Of the
Cinnamon coming from the quarters bear
ing at their head a dark package. They
marched with great deliberation and dignity
up to the mansion, and laid their burden
on tho gallery at the feet of the planter.
1t proved to be "chunk of a negro" So
curely bound as only Cinnamon know how to
tie a parcel of-goods. The negro was scared
out of his senses, though entirely unhurt.
Laying him quietly down on the gallery, the
leader Of the Chinese, pointed to the dark
mass, said to the planter, "Nigger! too muchl
too much nigger~ and then the whole
party trotted back to their work. Itwas
an hours hard work to unite the frightened
negro, who, on his release, very eheerfully
acted upon the suggestion Of the planter to
''make himself scarce" We publish this
incident in anticipation of the accounts
which will doubtless be forwarded to the
North. by the correspondents of the Radical
journals, as one of the incidents of lawless
violence 50 common in the South, against
which President Grant has just issued his
high-sounding proclamation. ".'

RAIN AFTER GREAT BATTLEs-It was
observed during the late. war in our own
country, and also during the war between
France and Germany, that heavy and con-
tinuous ra ms invariably followed the occur
renee Of great battles. The fact has given
rise to much speculation as to the reason of
the thing, with sort of general consent
that all results from conclusion Of the atnos-
rhcre caused by repeated discharges of artil-
lcry. But Plutrach, in his life of Caius
Marius. has a sentence which would seem
to indicate this as an error: They say
that extraordinary rains generally follow
great battles: whether it is that some
Divine Power puri6cs the ground and
drenches it with waters from Heaven, or
that the blood and putrefaction send up a
moist and heavy vapor which condcnscs the
atmosphere, which is moved and readily
changed to the greatest degree from the
smallest cause 1t is certain that there was
no artillery in the time of Marius (about 100
years before Christ end equally certain that
the rains took place after great battles.
What, them is the true explanation Of the
phenomenon

GRAMMAR of our readers who may
be grammarians will be kind enough. to tell
us if they can, whether the plural Of tai
lors goose is geese or gooses. They will
also tell us if, asking to be helped from
dish of potatoes, hashed, mashed, stewed and
cooked, they should say; "A spoonful Of
mashed potatoe.'
Speaking of the article known as tai
lor's goose reminds us of the following
Some time since variety merchant in
the country wished to order from hard
ware store in this city something for his tai
lor customers and wrote as follows:
please send me two Milors' gooses.'
Not liking the grammar, and fearing his
New York friends would laugh at him, he
destroyed that order and wrote: =.
please send me two tailors' geese
After the letter was sealed he was trou.
bled in his mind lest they should send him
couple of live geese, purchased from some
tailor when he took the document from the
post office, destroyed it and for two days
thought of nothing except how to word his
order 30 it could be understood and accord
ing to grammar. At last he gave up in de-
spair and wrote:
Please send one tailor's goose-d-n it,
send me another one just like it .

One of the New York papers publishes
a communication from West Point cadet,
calling attention to the disgraceful state
of affairs which exists at the Military Acade-
my, According to the facts therein set forth,
this school, once the pride of the nation
and the nursery of acorps of as gallant gen.
tlemen as ever wore uniform, has degenerat-
ed into something very much like o mob.
Discipline is relaxed, prestige is gone, the
standard of personal honor is lowered, and
the institution seems so thoroughly demora-
lized that its restoration to the old status
appears well nigh impossible. The Secreta-
ry of War has recognized these disagreea-
bic truths by removing the present Superin-
tendent, General Pitcher, and also one or
more Of the professors.

DEvoURED BY SuAnKs-TRAG1c DEATH
OF A MURDERER.-Recently man named
Grant committed murder at Demarara, W. l..
whence he escaped to Halifax, y. S., where
he was arrested and put on board Il vessel to
be returned to Demarara for trial. On
arriving in sight of his destination the priso-
ner jumped overheard ard was Immediately
seized and dcvourel by sharks. The Hall
fax Citizen gives the following particulars
On the passage, although very closely
watched he on one occasion obtained pos
session of knife, with which he attempted
to open his cabin window in the night; but
the attempt was discovered and frustrated.
On the morning Of the arrival, when the
vessel was within four miles of the lightship,
he foigncd an excuse to 90 on dcci. Mr..
Joseph sent Christian with him, and gave
the officer strict injunction to keepa firm
hold on him.
From the testimony the seaman Christian
seems to have endeavored faithfully to fulfill
his instructions, but was thrown off his guard
by a sudden request from Grant that he
would do him q triilmg scrrice, and relax
cd his holdsfor moment, when Grant, with
yell of cxultation, instantly lcapcd over
board. The vessel was put abort as quickly
as possible, but to no purpose, for the look
out man soon cried, "Shark's got him. and
pointed to the spot where he had seen Grant
disappear, and where the water was tingoI
with blood. The vessel continued to sail
around the spot for an hour, without dis.
covering any other trace Of the miserable
man.

WAR LOSSES OF TIE SoUTH.-The Cen
sus returns now coming in, reveal some of
the losses [not alD that the Southern States
suffered in consequence Of the war. A few
of the States arc reported as follows: ,'.
"Kcntucky loses 104 millions, or about
90 per cent. Mississippi loses 355 millions,
or scvcn-tcnths; Tennessee loses 60 mil
lions, or nearly 20 per cent. Florida loses
sc millions, or more than one-half; South
Carolina loses 322G millions, Or nearly two
thirds Virginia loses 1SG millions, or nearly
two-scvcnths. These losses are from 1850
tc 1870"
Tie aggregate loss is said to be 1900
prillons, but this estimate falls far short of
the total loss sustained By the Southern States
as the results of the war. But if when peace
came, the Government had permitted those
States to repair the waste that had been
wrought, their condition would be very
different to-day Wilmington Star. ...
