A visionary newspaper, writing of the
honeymoon, is trying to persuade young
married people that it is better for them to
stay quietly at home, and not 60 wandering
off on exhibition; as if any bride would
forego the blessed privilege Of leading. her
prize around with blue ribbon tied to his
neck in a hotel or other public places where
brides most do congregate. But there is
legend. unauthorized, told somewhere of a
young bride who brazenly tried to pretend
she had been married years, and thought to
deceive people by saying aloud and snap
pishly to her husband of a half day, Il
wish you would not always be walking on
nv dress.-

A loving couple went to Virginia min
lister to have the knot tied, but found their
united cash account to be but twenty-five
cents. The minister refused to perform the
ceremony without the full fee. AS the de-
pressed pair were turning away, happy
.bouoht seemed to strike the forlOrn
maiden. and she turned and cried through
her tears. "Please, sir, if you can't marry
No fnll. won't you marry us twenty-five
cents worth We can come Tor the resi-
some other time" This was too much 1or
the narson. He married them "full up"
and they went on their way rejoicing

The Cincinnati Gazette Washington special

In the summer of 1868 the departments
were furnished with information OF extern
sive frauds on the government by promi-
nent and wealthy Boston firm, who during
the war made clothing in both New York
and Boston, making false tax returns to
the revenue department. The Secretary OF
the Treasury detailed the chief clerk of one
of the auditors to investigate the matter.
About the first week in July he visited
New York and Boston, and, after procuring
sufficient evidence in the shape of atfidayits,
etc, returned to Washington to report.
By searching the records Of the treasury, it
seems that the report was never made.
The Boston firm secured the influence of a
member of Congress, and one or two gov
eminent officials and succeeded in stopping
further action. The investigation now in
progress promises to open the case to the
public. 1t is reported that the same par
ties are largely indebted to the quarter
masters department.

A Washington telegram to the New York
Herald says:
Colonel Forney has written a private
letter to the President, assuring General
Grant of his continued support and his pur-
pose to do everything in his power to secure
Grants denomination. His retirement from
the relationship of the port of Philadelphia
was variously construed on its first an
nOuncement, and the freedom which Colonel
Forney seemed SO anxiously to desire was
believed by the fees of the administration
to foreshadow opposition. This is not the
case. Colonel FOrney says that the rings
which are endeavOring to control the city
and State are shielding themselves under
the great name of the President, and that
he may war upon them more effectively he
desires to hold no federal office. The Presi-
dent has not determined to accept Colonel
Forney's resignation, and will not do so, if
at all, till after he has seen the latter and
conferred with him on the subject.

The Galveston Bulletin of the fourteenth
instant reports shooting affair:

lisldHt Itpoits sHootlHS AFFAIR.
Last evening Officer Price, acting under
a dispatch from Giddings, went to the New
York steamer to arrest a man named Ed
mund Labbatt, charged with stealing $1,000
from the Texas Express Company. Price
arrested his man, and succeeded in getting
him to the very door of the police office,
when Labbatt, who had up to that time
proceeded peacefully, suddenly drew a der
niger and fired upon Price. The bail struck
him just above the mouth, but, beyond cut
ting his lip, did no serious damage. The
pistol, however, was SO close to his face
that his check was badly burned with the
powder. Price was knocked down, and
Labbatt escaped. Several officers started
in pursuit, among whom was Officer Whey
Ian, and he was recaptlhed at the corner of
Nincoeenth and Postoffice streets, not, how
ever, until he had succeeded in wounding
Wheylan by shot from another deringer.
Wheylans wound is in the stomach, but it,
also, is fortunately slight.
