Marriage Under Difficulties.

A San Francisco pair recently con-
Guided to elope, and chartered tug
boat and clergyman, intending to be
made one on the bosom of the Pacific.
Unfortunately, that body of water be-
lied its name, and when the would-be-
groom was asked whether his intentions
were honorable concerning the loving
and cherishing of his female companion,
his answer, for sundry reasons, was de-
livered over the ships side. The about
to-be-b bride, meantime, had tainted, and
the clergyman felt constrained to fol
low the example of the groom. The
ceremony was finally concluded; but
all parties from very weakness were
forced to 60 through the service on then
knees.

A Rome correspondents Of the London
Telegraph writes:
"The house in which poor Keats
died is No. % in tb Piazza di Spagna,
and stands Immediately TO your right
hand as you ascend the f-raous steps of
the TIin.ta di Mont. Now, the CORES
ponalent of the Roman Tines suggests
that every English visitor to Rome
should subscribe half a franc toward
purchasing marble tablet to be let in
to the front of the house; but think
that there are many admirers of Keats
who would willingly subscribe their
mite. in order to mark by some endur-
| ing memorial the abode where death
fed on the mute voice of the singer of
Adonais. Apropos of Keats, let me re-
| peat little anecdote which was told
me of him, the other day, by Mr.. Severn,
the late much respected Consul here,
in whose arm the poet died. Like or
| binary mortals, even poets must eat
and Keats was intensely disguised at
the horrid food each day put before
him. The dinner was always sent in
from neighboring 'trattoria.' Day by
day it grew worse and worse, until the
patience of the poet was quite ex-
hausted. He would willingly have
abused the landlord, but there were
difficulties in the way, so at last he hit
on the following expedient. One day,
when Mr.. Severn was to dine with him
and the dinner was brought in as usual
Keats deliberately took up one dish
after the other and emptied them al
out of the open window into the Piazzi
di Spagna. This eloquent silence haC
the desired effect, and from that da,
| forward the dinners were excellent.

Walking.

Walking briskly, with an exciting
object or pleasurable interest ahead, Is
the most healthful of all forms of exer-
else except that of encouragingly re-
munerative, steady labor in the open
air; and yet multitudes in the city,
whose. health urgently requires exer-
else, seldom walk when they can ride,
if the distance is mile or more. 1t is
worse in the country, especially with
the well-to-do; q horse or carriage must
be brought to the door even if less dis
tances have to be passed. Under the
conditions first named walking is a
bliss; it gives animation to the mind,
it WHITES the circulation, it paints the
cheek and sparkles the eye, and wakes
up the whole being, physical, mental,
and moral. We know family of chill
dren in this city who, from the age of
seven, had to walk nearly two miles to
school, winter and summer; whether
sleet, or storm, or rain, or burning sun,
they made it an ambition never to STAY
away from school on account of the
weather, and never to be late;" and
one of them was heard to boast that in
seven years it had never been neces-
sary to give an "excuse for being one
minute behind time, even although in
winter it was necessary to dress by gas
light. They did not average two days
sickness in year; and later they
thought nothing of walking twelve
miles at time in the Swiss noun.
tains. Sometimes they would be caught
in drenching rains, and wet to the
skin; on such occasions they made it g
point to do one thing, let it rain, and
trudged on more vigorously until every
thread was dry before they reached
home.-RaLfs Jolr7aaL Of HeaLth.

A Smart Female Smuggler.

The Custom House detectives are
searching for dashing beauty who
was sent to New York few days since
from Buffalo, there having been con-
victed of SIN ggling across the Niagara
frontier. ST e was sentenced to eight
months in the Albany Penitentiary.
The court surrendered her to a Deputy
Marshal, and she started for Albany.
She was accompanied by gentleman
with plethoric wallet, and the trip was
glorious. Arriving in Albany after mid.
night, the party went to hotel, and
champagne was ordered. When the
Marshal awoke after sunrise he was
alone, and felt that his champagne had
been drugged.

Farm and Garden,

The american Agricuztltrist for April
gives the following hints for farm work
the present month:
Start The R5oaes the moment the ground
is dry enough, but not before; and
where it can be done, harrow and sow
as fast as you pillow. Do not wait to
finish the field. We know there is some
loss of time in changing work so often,
but it is nothing compared with the
extra time and labor required to pre-
pare piowed land that has been exposed
to heavy rains, and then had to lie for
several days until the surface was
crusted over before it was dry enough
to harrow. Our springs are so short,
and the weather so uncertain, that our
rule should be never to leave the field
until all the land that has been plowed
is narrowed and soWn.
P:Q.@Ilast falps pigs should have a
liberal allowance of corn-meal and
mangolds, to keep them growing rapid
lv till they can get clover. Breeding
sows should be Kept in good thriving
condition. Succulent food, and bran or
fine middlings, are better than corn. It
is desirable to keep the bowels some
what relaxel. Daily exercise is very
desirable The young pigs should be
taught to eat from a small trough, sep
arate from the SOW, as early as possible,
or at any rate when three weeks old.
Rainy Deus are usually numerous this
month, and there is also abundance of
work to be done indoors, such as oillng
harness, picking over potatoes, painting
implements, machines, wagons, etc.
Clean out the Cezzar-As health is the
greatest of earthly blessings, cleaning
the cellar from all decaying vegetables
and other impurities is the most i'm

Give not sleep to your eyelids until it is

COmfOrt for Tea DrlnkprS.

In the life Of most persons q period
arrives when the stomach no longer d.
gests enough of the ordinary elements
of food to make up for natural daily
waste of the bodily sustenance. The
size and weight of the body begin to
diminish more or less perceptibly. At
this time tea comes in as medicine to
arrest the waste and to keep the body
from falling away so fast, and thus
enables the less energetic powers of di-
gestion still to supply as much as is
needed to repair the wear and tear of
the solid tissue. No wonder, therefore,
that tea should be the favorite, on one
hand, by the poor, whose supply of sub
stantial food is scanty, and on the other,
with the aged and infrm, especially Of
the feebler sex, whose powers of diges-
ton and whose bodily substance have
already begun to fail Nor is it surpris-
ing that the aged female, who has barely
enough of weekly income to buy what
are called the necessaries of life, should
spend a portion of her gains in purchas-
ing her ounce of tea. She cen live quite
as well on less common food when she
takes her tea along with it, while she
feels higher, at the same time more
cheerful and filter for her work, because
of the indulgence.

Hibernation.

Several families of animals in northern
latitudes pass the entire winter in caves
and obscure retreats beyond the reach
of their enemies, in a lethargic con-
dition bordering on profund sleep, for
months in succession, without receiving
mouthful of food. But all that period
they are actually kept alive by an alb
sorption of the fat stored UP under the
skin and interstices of their bodies,
while in that comatose condition.
Hibern alton is not suspended ANNA
ton. It simply means reduction of
vital force All the functions of life
are carried on SO slowly that were
digestion, respiration, and arterial cir
| culation reduced very little further,
death would Immediately follow.
| While thus dosing unconscionsly dur
ing severity of winter, there is gradual
diminution of size and weight. When
the vernal season approaches and such
food as nature provides for them is to
be found in their foraging rounds, the
sleepers awake, lean and feeble, to re-
/ cruit their wasted forms.
A vulgar notion prevails among hun
tiers that bears suck their paws through
the winter and thus sustain life. Physi
illogical laws, however, explain the fact
that the stored up fat IS the magazine
from whence their support is derived.
Serpents in dens, allgators imbedded
in moist clay during excessive periods
of tropical heat; frogs in tenacious mut
at the bottom of pools, and toads in theil
hiding places beyond the reach of frost
subsist, under such circumstances, OF
elements packed away in curious cell
to meet the emergency of Information
On this wonderful provision depend
the perpetuity of many races OF animal
and reptiles which otherwise woul'
have been extinct long ago.

organized. This can best be done by the
exercise Of wise Cancellation on the part
of the Democratic and Reform conven
tons that have been called to meet in this
city.
The opening Of the Democratic conven-
ton yesterday, and the address of Presi-
dent Head might have left favorable i'm
pressions had it not been for the exhibit
tons Of bad temper afterward manifested
by the young Democracy. 1t is to be
hoped, however that these young Hot
spurs will not be allowed to seriously mar
the harmony and good feeling of the con
vention, and that it will finally conclude to
combine with the friends Of reform, and
help restore good government national
and State-to the people. And what has
been said Of the Democratic convention,
with a view Of directing its action in the in
terest Of the people, may be said to the Re
form convention. If it acts wisely it will
endeavor to unite all parties in the great
work of reform so much needed in this
country to restore peace and prosperity to
the people.
We'shall watch with much interest the
proceedings of both conventions, trusting
they may prove beneficial to the future
prospects of our State.

1t is a little curious to note how the
Citizens Guard, the ostensible organ Of the
Customho1se party, implicitly follows the
lead Of the Bee and Picaype, the pro-
fessed representatives of the Democrats
and Reformers. One would think that
these journals would have but little in
common with each other. Not so, how
ever. They are as harmonious and con-
genial in their workings as people of the
same faith, and look to the possible sue
cess of Grant in Louisiana wiSh i'll con-
cealed, if not open, fluctuations. There
must be some powerful inducement which
converts these ancient and long estab-
lished Southern journals (the Bee and
Pic into advocates of the men and meas
ures they have so long and persistently
condemned. But, then, it is an old say
ing that politics makes strange bed fell
lows. They think it perfectly natural that
Judge Matthews, of Ohio, should refuse
to consort with such men as Fenton and
Blair, but see nothing strange in their
political fellowship with Burch, Ingraham
and ''Boss" Packard.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Democratic State Convention recon-
vened in this.city yesterday, according to
the understanding had when it adjourned
on the night of the twentieth of April last.
The adjournment was then obtained from
the majority because it was thought good
might result from it. There was a small
party in the convention that urged the
necessity of making straight-out Dem
ocratic nominations at that time for
State ticket, but the majority Of the con-
vention thought this course unwise and
impolitic-one that would be certain to
end not only in the defeat of the Dem
ocratic party, but in the defeat of those
measures of reform that are demanded by
the people, regardless of former political
ties. All parties agree that reform is alb
solutely necessary in the civil ser
vice of both State and national adj
ministrations, and to secure this a
very large national movement has already
been organized, embracing Democrats and
Republicans, pledged to the work of reform.
Wherever this work has been properly
commenced and carried out the people
have undeviatingly crowned it with sue
cess. 1t reformed the politics of Missouri
and Tennessee, and will not fail to do the
same thing for this State and every other
State in the Union where reform is needed
if the people act wisely. In this State all
parties clamor for reform, and some make
it a hobby for gaining popularity without
deserving it, for their conduct only tends
to weaken the chances Of success to

State affairs, and to be successful

great, and calls for immediate action upon
the part of the people, regardless Of for
mer party ties, to reform the evil tenden-
cies Of government in this country. There
is great hope Of salvation in the Liberal
Republican movement inaugurated in Gin
cinnati, and headed by those sterling re-
formers Greeley and Brown, and much
may be hoped for from the Liberal Repub-
ican movement in this State, headed by
Governor Warmoth and the friends Of re-

A STRANGE POLICY.

The idea developed by the Pic0ytae in
Sundays issue, in which it greatly favors
a coalition between the Customhouse Re-
publicans and the Democrats and Reform
ers, as against the Liberal Republican
movement, is strange and unaccountable
for journal Of it's protested conservative
principles. To consent to such an ar
rangement must be at the sacrifice not
only of well understood Democratic policy,
but all hope of'its ascendency in the fu-
ture. No period in the history of the
State has been so fraught with vital polit-
ical interest as the present. Each day
and hour is molding its destiny for the fu-
ture, and so plain are the issues presented
that even the blind can see that if the fed
eral policy is renewed and strengthened
at the approaching election it will be
viewed as an Endorsement by the people
that every act of federal aggression is
sanctioned and sustained. The pretense
that it will be construed as a rebuke to
Governor Warmoth is folly. He is but a
member of the Liberal Republican party;
he by no means constitutes the movement
itself. And even the Picdyame will
scarcely hold so untenable a doctrine, that
it is justified in opposing public good
because some one whom it dislikes is in
favor of it.
But even were this coalition formed, did
even the Customhouse party accept the pro-
position SO weakly offered them, what prac-
teal good results would be reaped by the
Democrats and Reformers? Having handed
over the State, bound hand and foot, to
the Grant faction; accepting, as they would
have to, the policy Of federal interference
with the domestic rights Of the State in
dorsing, as they would, the system of fed
eral espionage at the local elections, the
application of the enforcement act and the
suspension of the writ of habeas corpus,
the centralizing policy Of the government,
the subordination of the civil to the mill
tary power, and the cruel injustice which,
during the four years of President Grants
administration, has been visited on the
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-06-04

The New York World bolted Seymour
lust before the election, and was de-
nouneed as a traitor to the Democratic
party then. 1t advocated the Liberal
movement until the nominations were
made, and then bolted again. Having de-
clared that the Democracy had no hope OF
success in a direct contest with the Re
publican party, it now urges it to engage
in this hopeless effort, not because 1t has
any better prospect than it did, but be-
cause it has a personal grudge against Mr..
Greeley, and prefers its own defeat to his
success. AS the Democracy did not at
tend to the counsel of the World in 1863
it should not follow the World IN its defec-
ton now. Wherever the people have ac-
cepted of Liberal Republicans they have
bettered their situation, as witness Mis-
souri,, Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia.
Louisiana may profit by the example OF
her sister States if she follows the line OF
policy which they adopted. The World
knows nothing of the matter, and its adj
vice to the South has always produced a
crop of evils.
