Tie Commercial Aspect of Marriage

Tie Commercial Aspect of Marriage
in Great Britain.
Some mems faith, says the Pail Mall Ga
zette, in women's anxiety to get married, is
really boundless. ga gentleman, whose
character has for years past been systemati-
cslIy traduced and libeled 10 and cut OF the
columns by Well-known newspaper pro-
prietor, advertises in The Matrimonial NetcS
for ga lady with means, who would wish
him to seek redress from his traducer
in court of Justice. Here the
vicious paper-man would be exposed; Jury
would decide the sequel, and David would
earth his Goliath" We fear that the "rud-
dy boy" of three-snd-forty will remain as
be says he now is, Sat bay" He suggests
ian appointment with q solicitor" and
promises disclosures no doubt tempting to
The female mind. But while the same pa
per announces that q gentleman, tall, we'll
looking, aged fifty, with good in
come, feels lonely and wants CT eer-
full, handsome partner, from thirty
five to forty" the psper-msn's enc
my has little chance, even with the most
eager and enthusiastic widows. Miss Sally
Brass might, if he has strong case, per-
hsps see her way to correspondence; but,

sional skill, she could hardly furnish the
funds necessary to ''set right above might"
Can Geraldine, by the way, "aged twenty
six, tall, ladylike, daughter Of deceased
country gentleman, with f700 year under
her own eonrol,n be really unable
to find ia steady gentleman CT
forty" without recourse to the col
umns of the NeoCS? Is she too fsstid-
ious, or does she want to play of practi-

clergyman of the Church of England, de-
scended from an ancient Sad noble house,
and now heir to immense estates and titles
| in France" seriously expect to meet with
ga lady possessed of not less than ESQ., OO?"
We are afraid, when we read that Ga young
lady, aged tWenty-one, very pretty, with
| few hundreds at marriage, but who VIII Ill
timately come into $4,000" wants hus-
band, and that ga beautiful young lady,
aged nineteen, tall, fair, highly connected,
musical, and who will come into fair for
tune" wants the same, that school girls are
beginning to advertise. They had better
work slippers in readiness for cases like that
of "a young clergyman, aged twenty-five,
tall, good-looking, moderate income, but
with good prospects, who wishes to meet
a good-lookiDg, Jolly young lady 10
make life pleasant" What deg

but what is the world progressing to, when
all these "very jolly, warm hearted, domes-

wart" men, mostly with money, are forced
to make the editor the Matrimonial Ne'c'

THE OLD NORTH STATE.
white Men in North Carolina 500
Years Before Columbus Discovered

white Men in North Carolina 500
Years Before Columbus Discovered
America.
Congressman A. NJ. Waddell, of North
Carolina, delivered his lecture, at Wake
Forest College, on Oct. 10, in which he at
tempts to show that the State was settled
by writes 500 years before the discovery of
America by Columbus. The Wilmington
Journal gives a brieI report OF the
lecture as follows: "Mr. Waddell
insisted that 800 years before Columbus
was born, the Irish discovered and set
tied North Carolina and called it Great
ireland. In support of this somewhat start
ling proposition, the lecturer showed that
the Esquimaux informed Lief, the son of
Eric the red, in the year A. D. 1000, that
white men lived south of Chesapeake bay;
that the chronicles of Ireland prove that at
this early period Christian men inhabited
Hvitramanualand-th White Mans Land
now North Carolina; that when Amsdes
and Barlo We visited Roanoke in the year
1854 they found among the aborigines chill
dren with blue eyes and auburn hair
proving their Caucasian descent-and that
the natives of this region spoke the Gaelic
language and claimed that some of their
ancestors were white men and talked in a
book The future historian OF the State
was urged, before entering upon bis
pious task, to examine with care
the records of northern Europe, the
cotemporaneous narrative OF yoy-
ages, and the archaeology of the Icelanders,
and he would most assuredly find, by the
aid of these Northern Lights that the his
tory of the old State begins long before the
period usually assigned to it. An eloquent
appeal was made to the State pride of bis
hearers. Hypsometry had shown that Caro-
lina's mountains were loftier than any others
east of the Mississippi river; geology had
proved that the first gold ever deposited was
to be found in her sediments; the testimony
of the rocks had established the fact that
created life first made its appearance within
her borders; and now, TO complete her glory,
we find that she was the first dwelling place
of Europeans on this continent. In con-
cl sion, the speaker said he felt double in
terest in his subject; for, besides being an
enthusiast in bis devotion to bis native
State, he cherished an ardent affection for
the Emerald Isle, whence his foreiathers
came; and when, in indicating North
Carolina, he once called her the Ire. and OF
the Union, little did he then think that he
was only giving the old State her true name,
the name she bore nearly thousand years

NEW YORK,
Vincent COIIxer Again.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-TEe resolution of
the Board of Aldermen, donating S50,000in
aid of Memphis, came up for confirmation
"a the Board Of Assistant Aldermen this
afternoon. The following telegram was
read:
Memphis, Oct. 3O.-Morris K. Jessup,
President Young Mems Christian Associa.
ion: A telegram in the morning papers
here, says the New York City Council has
donated $4,000 to Memphis. If true,
ought you not to see Mayor Havemeyer, and
say Memphis has enough for present ncees-
sites. Citizens are returning fast.
VINCENT COLLYER.
Several members of the Board said they
desired very much to confirm the donation,
and thought that though the sickness is
disappearing, the necessities of the suffer
ers viii not end with the fever, and there
would be suffering there all winter. The

or IL.
The charges against the officers were PIE
pared by Chief Clerk Hawley, and among
the specifications it is recited that Melon
neil being in their custody delivered TO them
q package Containing ST, $50 10 u. S. bonds,
a letter credit for $500 and di:mond ring
valued at $500, with the express under
standing that they were TO be used in the
defence of Mcdonnell, and that in pursH-
ante of this understanding they re-delivered
$4,000 worth of bonds to Mcdonnell, hav-
ing good grounds for believing and knowing
the bonds were the property of the Bank
of England. 1t is also recited that the Of
ficers charged were in communication with
Mcdonnell by mail and telegraph, and bad
} entered into the conspiracy TO defrsud the
Bank of England.
Counsel for the Bank of England refused
to 90 to trial on all these specifications, on
the ground that they had never been in

Distractions Of the Mississippi.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 30.-Tbe Senate Trans
portation Committee held a leng by session
here to day, during which the Merchants
Exchange Committee presented report,
embracing a great amount of information
relative to trade and commerce Of the Mis-.
sissfppi Valley, means and cost of trans
portation, and capabilities Of the Mississippi
river as an outlet 10 the sea. The report
states the chief distractions to navigation
of the river, and which prevent cheap trans
portation Of the heavy products of the
valley to the ocean, are Rock Island and
Des Moines rapids shoal places, bars at
about d. zen DO nts, sunken wrecks and
snags, and the bar at the mouth of the
river, The widening Of the channel at
Rock Island, the completion of the canal at
Des Moines, the construction of Fort st.
Phillip canal, would, in the opinion
of the Exchange Committee, result
in affording sufficient constant depth
of the channel from st. Paul to
New Orleans for steamers and barges, and
reduce the cost of transportation to uni
form price not exceeding the lowest present
average. Particular attention is called 10
the barge system uOM III uSO OOSn oOofo
and below S.. Louis, and its many advan-
tages in moving grain in bulk and other
products of the valley. Capt. Isaac NJ. Ma
son, Superintendent of the Keokuk North
ern Packet Company; Capt. Jno. A. Send
der, of st. Louis and Memphis Packet Com
pany, and Capt. Hoarstick, Superintendent
of the Mississippi Valley Barge Line, ex-
planned, at length, various distractions to
free navigation, and how the difficulties can
be overcome at comparatively light expense.
Several other prominent gentlemen present
ed views and answered many questions
asked by members of the committee, and a
number of others will give information to
morrow. 1t is also expected that severa
oranges from this and surrounding State
viii have q consultation with the committe
and present claims for cheap transportation

The Suspension Attributed to Pubai-
cations by Rival Concerns.
The Express says the suspension of Hoyt,
Sprague & Co. is one Of the worst records
of the panic. No statement of the amount
Of their acceptances, but 81, GOO of 1t,
it is said, is held by New York banks. 10
bankers and private buyers their paper has
always been attractive There is no doubt
that the antsgonism of rival eoncerns in
Rhode Island had much to do with the sus-
pension, and the publication of the embar-
easements of the Spragues is accounted for
in this way. Arrangements were perfected
which would have carried the concerns
through but for these publications.

The Mill Again Suspended.
Affairs regarding the Allen-Hogan fight
have assumed lew aspect. They are to
meet this afternoon, and it is asserted, will
draw up new articles of agreement to fight
in about three weeks at some point in
Canada, near Detroit, with stakes increased
to $4,000 side. This appears to have re-
suited mainly at least from the fact that the
bruisers became satisfied they could not
fight in Illinois, owing to the vigilance Of
the authorities who, under Gov. Beveridge's
instruction, were on the alert in five coun-
ties up and down the river from ibis point.
The Governor even went go far as to order
100 muskets aud ammunition to East St.
Louis yesterday, t" be used in defense Of
Illinois law if necessary.
Allen and Hogan have signed supplement
tai articles of agreement to fight, place and
time to be set by Jack Looney and Tom
Kelly, ard stakes increased to $1,000 aside.
LooneY and Kelly are understood to have
named Omaha as the place and Nov. is as
the time for the mill. This may be changed,
no Tever. Canada was first suggested, but
this was abandoned on account of the dan
ger of arrest while passing through Illinois
