HnuInAnswer n Girl.

The Boston Traveller remarks that
though it has no bureau for answering
correspondents, yet interrogatories are
occasionally received, the latest OF which
is from a sallow youth named Carpenter,
who says: Two years ago was IN love
with girl, and as we got on well together
we would probably have been engaged.
One night she asked me if | thought
another girl pretty; | replied conscien-
tiously that l thought her very pretty.
My GIRL the next day, cut me dead, and
the only word received in explanation
was message, through another girl,
that might 90 and sit on the other girl s
doorstep ii wanted TO- but not to come
to her house again. Last summer ! was
paying attention to another girl, and
when one night she asked me about an
other girls looks, | wasn't TO be caught,
and so said thought she was homely,
forward mink. She never spoke to me
again, and found out afterward that the
other girl was her cousin. At present |
am sweet on another girl, who IS stop
ping at the sea shore; and yesterday
got a note, in which she wants to know
if | thiLk another girl is good-looking.
Now | want your opinion as to what d
better say" There is confusion about
the numerous "other girls mentioned
in Carpenter epistle, but we have writ
ten to him that he had best return an
evasive answer, such as, don't know
but what she didn't have, or something
Of that sort. Anyway, Carpenter 8 case
is a hard one, and if we were in his
place we should write to his girl, or
rather our girl mot Carpenter $ and
ours together, but ours all alone), and
say that we didn't get her letter and
consequently couldn't answer her ques-
tons about the other girls looks.

OHIO DEMOCRACY.

Yesterday at Columbus, Ohio, The
Democracy Of Ohio assembled in mass
convention, selected State ticket
headed by William Allen for Governor,
passed series Of sterling resolutions
organized State Executive Committee,
and adjourned. The platform arraigns
the Radical party for high crimes and
misdemeanors, supports State Rights, IN
diyidual liberty, asserts the capacity OF
the people for self-government; that the
producing wealth of the country should
be taxed, and that tariff for revenue
only was repaired, The platform OPP.
poses railroads and other monepohes,
condemns the back salary grab, etc.
The Louisiana resolution is as follows;
Resolved, That the act OF the Presi-
dent in setting up by the bayonet
government in Louisiana, not chosen
by her people, aud having no title what
ever TO rule them, was a fragrant viola.
tion of her rights and OF the Federal
Constitution.
Mr.. Allen, of Ross, was nominated for
Governor by reclamation. He re-
sponded by telegram to the honoras fol
lows
accept the nomination, and desire
the Convention to accept my gratitude
forit. | accept it because the Conven.
lion, by bestowingit, expresses the beliei
that may be OF some service IN pro-
noting the success Of the great Demo
cracy, upon whose success, and upon
that alone, rests the prosperity, liberty
and happiness Of the American people.
(Signed) WILLIAM ALLEN
Whether or not the ticket will be sue
cessful is matter for the future to deter
mine. The declaration Of principles is
bold and welI-timed, and the resolutions
have time-honored ring Of respectable
ity about them. One Of the presiding
officers of the conyention-Mr. S. +.
Hunt, of Hamilton county-wanted the
cry to 90 abroad that "The Old Guard
dies, but never surrenders." We believe
this saying had its origin with General
Cambron, who commanded the Old
Guard at Waterloo, aud who, according
to Victor Hugo, rendered himselfimmor-
tai by hurting one contemptuous word
(merde) into the teeth Of the English
when they continued to demand his sur
render. Our enthusiastic Ohio friend
should have recollected the Hudibrastic
couplet:
He that lives may fight again,
Which he can never do that slain"

A chinese pilgrimage.

A correspondent of the Cologne Ga.
zette, writing under date Of May 9th,
describes the April pilgrimage Of the
Emperor to the Mantchou graves. 1t
appears that the Emperor left Pekin on
the first day of April with a numerous
retinue, and accompanied by the Gov
ernor-General of the province of Chile,
who came from Tien-tsin for that pnr-
pose. According to the canons of the
Mantchou dynasty, the following offer
ings are to be brought to the graves by
the Emperor: An OK; two sheep, or a
sheep and pig; four jugs Of wine;
eighteen dishes of soup, meat and rice;
gold paper; sixty-fve dishes of fruit;
incense. The following articles are also
to be placed upon the altar: tea cup,
three wine cups, and knives and chop
sticks, all of gold. The Emperor and
his suite, all dressed in deep mourning
brought these offerings to the temple,
where his ancestors lie buried; and while
this was done the master of ceremonies
read the prescribed ritual, the pauses
being filled up by the groans and wall
ings of the assembled people. The EN-
peror returned to Pekin on the 9Th day Of
April, preceded by body of infantry,
with their muskets wrapped up in yellow
cloth, slung across their shoulders, and
by some officers on horseback, armed
with bows and arrows. He was carried
by four men in litter, and his face was
distinctly seen through the thin, yellow,
silk gauze of the curtains. Like most
men of the Mantchou race, he has a
long, thin face, and sleepy eyes; some
think be looks more like man of forty
than a youth Of eighteen. While he ives
entering his capital he was fast asleep,
and even when the litter was put down
and the bearers we're relieved he did not
awake. After him came the Empress,
who had remained at home TO carry on
the government during the Emperor 8
absence, in a yellow litter, and his
mother in a green one. The arrange
ments made for the Emperor's journey
we're very defective; the horses and
mules we're old and weak, and the sup
plies of forage we're so scanty that many
Of the animals died on the way and bad
10 be replaced by workmen. The Court
Gazettee has Published a long list Of
punishments inflicted on the officers who
were responsible for these defects Of pro
vision and administration.

The approaching marriage OF the
Duke Of Edenburg, second son OF Vic
toria. with the daughter of the Russian
Bear has brought forth most interest
ing discussion from philosophic stand
point. The Guelph or family of Queen
Victoria is purely German, without a
drop of English blood in their veins,
and great results are predicted upon the
Russian English royal marriage. Some
deliver into history destroys this illusion
by showing that the bride is descended
from Catherine of Russia, herself a full
blooded German, and her son Paul, and
his sons Alexander and Nicholas, and
the present Emperor the son of Nicholas
and father of the bride, were all Of them
married TO German princesses. Then in
regard to the Prince of Wales marri-
age to Danish Princess is blood
relation of her husband; being descended
from sister Of King George III, who is
great grandfather OF the Prince. Again,
the family of the Emperor of Germany
was connected by marriage with the
royal family of England, before the
marriage of the Prince Imperial with
the Princess Royal Of Great Britain

SENDING criminals to the UnitedlStates
has been a custom with the authorities
Of the Old World for many years. Re
Gently the Grand Duke of Hesse Darn
stadt pardoned two notorious criminals
condemned for murder, on condition
that they should at once leave for the
United States. 1t is proposed by the
New York press, that when the criminals
arrive, Governor Dix should issue his
warrant for their arrest and rendition.
The prevalence Of this most objeetiona-
bic custom will ere long bring about
series Of diplomatic notes between the
Government Of Grant and the rulers Of
the little principalities Of Europe.
