How TO Catch q Wife.


New York is really the city Of de-
ceptions. A man must not only look
sharp as to his company, but he can
hardly trust his own senses. The we'll.
formed man he meets in the street may
be indebted for bis elegant proportions
to the genius of his tailor. and the
belle of beauty may he half padding.
A young man Of quite elegant exterior
passed at one of our fashionable water
ing places for young man of wealth.
He became greatly smitten with the
daughter of wealthy merchant, who
besides what her father would leave
her, had a hand:Ome fortune in her
own right. He referred to a we'll
known gentleman in New Vow, who
thought him rich, and who knew the
amount of his income tax. He was
accepted aud married. 1t was found
that he was a clerk in a dry goods
house on quite su ordinary salary. He
secured money enough te pay a good
sized income TAX. His investment prov
ed more lucrative than a Wall street
speculation, as it secured him q rich
wife.
Several instances have been known
in which parties have made splurge
at the Springs aud elsewhere, and have
got iutroductions to wealthy people,
aud returned to New York, hired
handsomely furnished house in a good
location for month or two; have re-
ceived their stylish friends in style,
married their daughters. and then re-
tired to the back street to which they
really belonged. How many of such
marriages have terminated will be as
certained by examining the records of
courts in Irdiaua.-Boston journal

A novel trial is reported to have
taken place in London. A lady went
to ball, and when preparing to re
turn to her home in the evening, before
going to her carriage, took off her
colffure and tied it up in a handker-
chief, to keep it fresh for party she
was to attend the following hight, and
that she might the more conveniently
put warmer wraps OH her head, the
evening being cold. When she reach.
od her dwelling the coiffure was not in
the carriage. She dispatched mes
senger for it, but it could not be found.
Some days after she met an acquaint-
ance, whose hair was the same
color as her own rather a peculiar
hue-and was satisfied she wore her
coifiure. She taxed her with it. Of
course it was Indignantly deDied. So
certain was the lady that the hair the
other was wearing was the article she
lost at the ball she sued Der for it.

A special policeman, at the recent
exhibition at the New York artists for
the benefit of their fellows in Chicago,
tells the following story:
When Miss Ream began to model
the bust of Mr.. Cooper, there was such
rush of people to see her work that
we found it necessary to obtain the
constant attend lance of policeman,
who was instructed to see that the
crowd kept moving, SO that everybody
could get sight of her. Of course
you know all about her good looks,
her bewitching curls, and 50 forth, so
that the attraction was twofnld-to
see the lady and TO see the sculptures.

RECLAMATION OF ABANDONED Wo-
MEN.-This project should enlist the active
cooperation of every benevolent man and
woman in Richmond. What nobler work
could engage their time and means than the
rescue of fcllow-mortals from the dark
abyss of crime and misery into which they
have fallen. We trust, then, that the
meeting to be held in Centenary Meth
odist church tomorrow evening at
eight O'Clock to further the cause of
retaining abandoned women, may be
largely attended by the influential people
Of Richmond. 1t is the intention to per-
manently organize the association at that
time, and perfect the plans as far as posi-
BILE for the early erection of the reiorma-
tory establishment. As we have before
stated the prospects of success are tlatter-
ing, but, as in all good works, too much
cannot be done, and all who arc imbued with
q spirit of Christian kindness for the I'M
fortunate in our city and State should
swell the numbers at the meeting, and thus
give their countenance and support to a
movement which promises such rich re-
wards.

The Welsh paper at Utica, Y D,ych,
which the Tribune Joyously claimed as for
Greeley, is unhesitatingly for Grant, who,
it says, in war time was heroic and agrees
sive, and in peace is considerate, sagacous,
and safe. Greeley's most deluded admirer
would not venture to apply these epithets
to him.

more swndle. General Fred. Hecker one
of the earliest advocates of the Liberal

The Recent Attempted Assassination Of the

Madrid, July PA large sum of
money was found on the person of one of
the prisoners, who was engaged in the at
tempt to take the life of King Amadeus.
This together with the antecedeDts of the
other prisoners, it is believed, conclusively
establishes the fact that the men had no
political feeling which would have prompted
the assassination of His Majesty, but were
merely the hired instruments Of apolitca |
conIiracy. Previous TO the attempt at assas.
snation, the King had received an anony-
nous communication warning him that his
life was in danger.
When the attack on the royal party was
made, sharp engagement took place, be-
tween the would-be-assasSins and the po-
lice and the Kings escort. His Majesty
was anxious to participate, but was pre-
vented by his attendants. 1t is believed
that the parties arrested are the same who
assassinated General Prim.

Do NOT BE ALARMED.-The Whtg
need have no real fears, nor affect to fear,
that there will be any disorderly conduct
on the part of Republicans on the Oath.
There is no more reason to fear disorders
on that occasion, than on the occasion of
any other political demonstration. Nothing
is farther from the thoughts of the Repub-
licans than wish, or desire, or intention
to engage in or permit any unlawful pro-
ceedings on the part of anybody, whether
connected with the demonstration or not /;
and there is nothing in the history of the
party here warranting any such purpose or
intention. The colored people of Richmond
and of the State, who are specially referred
to by our contemporary, certainly do not
deserve the imputation upon their honor as
peaceable and law-abiding citizens. Their
parades, celebrations, and meetings have
been marked by a degree of liberation, mod
Grafton, and decorum, not surpassed by the
white people, of whatever political faith
and we may safely predict that they will
continue to preserve their own manhood as
well as the peace and dignity of our lair
city. ...,s g.s .tr....
We hope, with the Wing, that the city
authorities will use their accustomed vigil
lance throughout Wednesday and Wednes-
day night, and promptly suppress any
and all disturbance Of the peace, which may
arise, whether by Republicans or Demo
Gratis. There is no more reason to appre
bend "aifront" or "assault' from the Re-
publicans, white or colored, than from De
mocrats, and we shall be most willing tC
have offense from either promptly pun
ished. We believe Mayor Kelley and Majo
Poe will, as usual, do the fair thing on TN
oath, and so dispose of the police force a
to give due latitude to the demonstration
and license for evil and disorder to none.
