arrival OF the steamer detective was the
first to leap on board. Quietly making out

The purSer saii lac thought there was, and
directed the detective to the stateroom where
the supposed individual was. lie proceeded
TO the room, knocked, and was admitted. TO
his sautation, How do you do, Mr.. Cart
wright!" the occupant answered, "Quite
well, thanks, but you have the advantage of

great surprise of Mr.. Cartwright, who found
himself in the tolls although he said he eX-
pccted as much, but not i'll Halliday and was

The "OLD DoMlSloS."-The term "Old
Dominion" us applied to Virginia, is said TO
have originated from the following facts:
During the protectorate of Cromwell the
colony of Virginia refused to acknowledge
his authority, and sent to Flanders for
Charles ii. to come and reign over them.
Charles accepted, and was about to embark
when he was recalled to the throne of Eng
land. After his accession, as reward TO
Virginia for her loyalty, he allowed that co,
louy to quarter the arms of England, Ireland
and Scotland with its owD, showing her to
be member of the "Old Dominion" The
historical facts on which this statement is
based seem well founded, and such is said to
be the origin of the term as applied origi-
nally to the colony and now to the State.

A FEDERATION IN GREAT BRITAlN.-The

published letter in the Times, in which he
virtually, on the ground OF the necessity of
expediting public business, comedies Home

Ireland were allowed to elect a Representa-
tive Asse nbly for each of its four provinces
of Leinster, Ulster, Munster, and Connaught,
and if Scotland in Il similar manner were to
be divided into Lowlands and Highlands,
having for each province a Representative
Assembly, the local wants Of Ireland and
Scotland might be better provided for than
they are at present. AS Wales must have
its Representative Assembly, too, and North
England, and Midland England, and Eastern
England, and Southern England, that is Il
proposal for changing the United Kingdom
into Federal Republic. ItwouId, no doubt,
relieve the central authority OF much bus-
ness, but it would also relieve it Of much
power also, OF how much nobody knows"

a. fomantic ymatriage took place Mt the
Garno House. Wyandotte City, on Saturday
last. The clrcunlstances.are these: Miss
Moshicr, living in Freeport, Stevenson county
ILL.,, became engaged to young man named
Morrison, of the same place. Business being
dull there in 1863, the time our story cou-
mences, he concluded to try his fortunes i'm
California. He departed, promising to write
regularly; and either come or send for her az
soon rs fortune smiled upon him. Two
weary years rolled by: and site received no
letters from him, and nothing was heard by
his or her friends of his whereabouts. A re.
port about this time was circulated by a
Young man named Shipinan, postmaster of
flreport. that Morrison was married.
Although hardly credited by Miss Moshicr,
still his long silence, together with the re-
port Of his marriage, made her come to the
coiicltision that She WAS forgotten. Shipman
now became very assitllious iii his attentions
to her, and after a short courtship asked her
to become his wife. She, stung with the
treatment of her first love, consented, and
they were married, and concluded to make
tlieir home out West, removing from Free
port TO kansas City. Here everything
went on smoothly for time, but in an uii-
guarded moment her husband told her he
had intercepted Morrison's letters to her, and
that he had written repeatedly, but as soon
as they came into his hands they were de.
stroyed. Instead of forgiveness, as he ey.
pected she upbraded him for his pcrlidy,
and, in short. led him such life that he de-
serted her. After time she commenced ac-
tion for divorce, which was granted on the
ground of abandonment. She still remained
in Kansas City, doing the best she could to
obtain Il livelihood. Morrison, after waiting
two years and hearing nothing from the OBJ
jcCt OF his affections. grew restless, but still
worked on until news came of her marriage
On hearing this he Immediately packed up
with the intention of returning home to as
certain the truth of the report On his way
home he determined to stop at Kansas City,
and upon his arrival there almost the first
person he met was his long-lost love. Mu-
tual explanations took place, and she being
free again, q speedy marriage took place be.
