GOV. BROWN.

The Pulaski Citizen, speaking of a recent
visit of Gov. Brown to Pulaski, says:
The Governor is hopeful of the future,
and thinks there is a tide coming, upon
which we may ride out of our national
difficulties, if we will only wait for it and
then take it at the flood. He thinks the
Democratic party is the hope of the country,
and zealously opposes a dissolution or dis
bandment of the party organization. We
may have to form an alliance with the
moderate Republicans to defeat the present
ad1ninistration-the future alone can reveal
the best policy to pursue-but for the pres
ent the old Democratic ship should not be
disrnantled or deserted. When it is proven
that the grand old Democratic army cannot
succeed with its own captain, and without
aid, then, with the party organization in
tact, we win march TO the aid Of any other
party to beat the Grant administration.

CONDENSED TELEGRANIS.

The Grand Duke Alexis had a grand
reception at st. Louis yesterday.
The Russian Christmas festivities were
celebrated on board the flag ship of the
Russian feet at New York yesterday.
Alexis has accepted the invitation extend
ed by a number of leading citizens to visit
Memphis. As yet no date has been decided
upon. A grand ball win be given in his
honor.
Mrs. DOwnes, of Memphis, was instantly
killed at Hopefield, Ark, Friday, from be-
ing thrown from her carriage.
Senator Sumner will Withdraw his Equal
Rights amendment to the Amnesty bill,
which now seriously embarrasses that
measure, and Schurz will offer an amend
ment striking out all after the first clause
which will make amnesty universal, in case
it should succeed.

Mnrriaee Nnfsce

The London Times was the first paper
which charged for their marriage announce
ments. In the early days of that paper it
was the custom in announcing a marriage
to state the amount of the brides dowry--
100000, or $4,000, or whatever it might
happen to be and in looking through the
ladies' column one morning at breakfast,
Mr.. Walter threw out the SUCCESSION that if
man married all this money he might
certainly pay trifing percentage upon it
to the printer for acquainting the world
with the fact. "These marriages fees
would form nice little pocket money for
me, my DEAR" added Mrs. Walter, and as a
Joke her husband agreed to try the expert
ment. The charge at first was but trife,
and the annual amount probably not much.
But Mrs. Walter at her death passed this
preseriptive right of hers to her daughter,
and when few years ago the right was re-
purchased by the present proprietor, it wa 5
assessed at $4,000 to f5,c00 year.
