Freight Shipments south.

One hundfed and seventy-flve car loads
of freight were shipped South over the
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad yester-
day. Owing to awant of freight conduc-
tors, the shipments were considerably less
than they would have been, about fifty car
loads having to remain over until to-day
Among the freight moving South, were
twenty-one cars of stock, principally from
Kentucky, though some were from Indiana,
and DAYTON, Ohio. w. A. Osborn shipped
10 head from Barbour county, KY; Robert
McCintock, 20 head, and Mr.. Secrest II
head. All of the stock was for Atlanta, Ga,
from which place it viii be sent to different
parts throughout that State and the South.
We noticed a lot of very fine draught horses
from Ohio, but learn that the stock market
! is quite dull in the South.

TEsE YOUNG mUsBAND-s DELEnIssA

IA1E YOUNG z SEASD-S DILEMMA.
John had just married and brought home a
A graceful and 5uxom and beautiful miss;
And when at the altar he stood by her side,
1t seemed the last drop in his fun cup of bliss.
Indeed, she was one Of the fairest of creatures.
Her lipe we're like rubies, her teeth white
pearls;
The rose might have borrowed its hues from
The sunlight was Knocked by her bright gold
curlS.
With feastins and music the swift moments
The midnight approached, and the bride ana
her groom.
After bidding their friends and companions
Retired together, of course-to their room.
There her beautiful wrenth and rossaner veil
On the tOp of a bureau she carefully laid,
Then placing her dress, with its long silken
Ger the back of the chair by the side of the
bed.
And then, one By one-hut I can't tell the name
Ot the various garments, embroidered aud
Nor the feelings that over the young husband
As he sat and observed her disrobe for the
night.
Il many brilliant illusion, ween,
Tho possession of such a position dispeIs,
TO man who has heard, but never yet seen
That wonderful process, the PeeliHg Of beiles.
So John felt on seeing those beautiful curls
THOSE glorious masses OF bright golden mar
than pearls
All laid on a box that she placed on n chair. e
Meantime, il that box something more caught
TO show how the artist Dame Nature can
mock
\ fun and iudiciously chosen supply
OF cosmetics al liO., rouge, enamel and chalk.
From her checks came her plumpers, which,
lest she should lose 'em,
She placed in her toilet box, too, with the rest;
Then swiftly detached the fui, palDitant bosom
Her lover 50 fondly-so bIudly-had pressed
Then She placed on chair the huge cushions
she wore
When the husband was still more than ever
uOuptuSSed
To see. what lie never had witnessed before,
i fair woman hustle abreast of her bust.
Then, touching 4 spring that was hidden some
where.
Her lower limbs parted precisely in halves,
And she laid on the altar mean on the chair
Her very last sacrifice, pair OF fat calves.
Her dissection completed, she plunged under
cover,
Like Il lath that might in Il rivulet drop;
Then tcndeTly asked of her mOtiOnlcss lover,
My darling, how long do you mean 20 sit up!'
MY dear, I'm quite undecided he said,
What course in the case would bc proper
and fair,
To follow the fraction that got into bed,
Or stay with the part that is piled or the
chair -

by Jefferson county, are opposing and
prating much about the enormous fac
cording TO Radical estimatcsl expense
to be incurred 10y holding a Convention
They are very sensitive, very. Why,
there are counties in West Virginia that
scarcely pay enough into the State treas

gates to the legislature! and yet they
arc CRYING out Justify about the expense
of Conventional much so as if their
pocket nerve had already teen touched.
Let every taxpayer of Jefferson. and

EwT There is an 'sirrepressible con-
fict' between the American Puritan ele-
lnent and the Germans. The Gazette,
as its representative, thus sneers at the
latter:
"We have speculated mentally on the
difference in the destinies Of the country
if Fred. Hassaurek had led band of
his beerjerkers in the Mayfower, in the
place of that band of stiff, God fearing
self-sacriicing men who came to the
wilderness with the high purpose to
found pure and religious State"
The Gazette tells the Germans that in
the issue with Puritanism, as their or
organs have represented it, they will be
ground exceedingly small.-Cin, Eaq.
