tains some interesting items from Gold
Mountain and Ida Valley, from which
we copy the following:
John Frost has Just returned from Gold
Mountain and Ida Valley. He Informs
us that he is sinking on the Independent

depth of fifty feet has been attained, dis
closing solid ledge of feet in thick
ness. On the Blue Gravel depth of 30
feet has been reached, also disclosing a
we'll defined ledge of high grade ore.
One sample which he brought in from
the Independent was assayed in this city,
and gave result of S55S per ton. Fol-

Thursday the hopes of our planters were
bright, that fair crop would be made, des-
pite the ravages of the caterpillar, but
these hopes are now blasted, and the pros
pect is indeed disheartening. IL the face
of so terrible blow, we are at loss to find
any words of consolation. We can only
hope that the result may not prove 80 ut
terly disastrous, as at present appears. Cut
off, as we are from all communication with
the outer world, we have no means of
knowing whether the storm has been con-
fined to a comparatively small portion OF the
State, or whether it has extended from the
Atlantic to the Gulf If the latter, and the
storm elsewhere has been as disastrous as
here, it will take years for Florida to recov-
er from the blow:
News from St. Marks, this morning, gives
the information of the utter destruction Of
that place By the flooding of the water
every house, but one, is washed away. Twen-
tp families are homeless. and an earnest ap-
peal for help comes up. The City Council
have appropriated 800 for immediate relief,
which will be expended IN provisions, and
sent down by extra train to-day.

CoURrsHIp IN TIE PAsT.-The Hebrews
were a peculiar people in all respects, and
not least in matrimonial view. The oper-
ations devoving upon the Israelitish juven.
lies, before attaining to the joys Of connu.
bialty, were emphattically peculiar. For
instance, when Isaac desired wife for him
self, his father sent Elizur his servant to say
make myself of maiden, I must entertain
her with fine discourses and offer engaging
presents; must necessarily praise her beau
ty; must only go by night to see her; when
thing is known to third person, it never
succeeds" Not at all. Neither he nor his
father kuew Rebecca But after Elisurhad
made his proposals Laban, her brother, ask.
cd her If she would go with the man, and
she answered: 81 will CO." We see that
love was not consulted in this case. This
marriage was rather bargain between
Abraham and Rebecca Nor was it custom
ary for the affections to rule, there being Of
tentimes 10 consultation between the parties.
1t was usual for women to be courted by
proxy. Thus Sechem, though strongly
moved to love Dinah, did not disclose it in
the ear of his beloved, but made advantage
Gus offers to her brothers-"Ask me never
50 much dowry, and will give according as
you will say unto me-" Jacob, however,
made an innovation upon this custom, and
visited Rachel himself; he drew near and
kissed her, and lifted up his voice and wspt
Jacob made another advance upon his times
We have said that love had but little to do
with their marriages-wives were regarded
as species ofslaves, and not at all as com.
paniops; hence "6lthy lucre" was the charm
which ruled the marriage ties. Affection and
sentiment gave place to gold and goods
But Jacob was sentimental loYer, and
when he found he had not treasure equal to
to the price set upon Rachel, he conde'
scended to purchase her by labor and servi
tude, and manifested, disappointment when
the tender.eyed Leah was faithlessly imposed

come; but there have been exceptions to
this rule.
An Israelitish widow had by the law the
power of claiming, in marriage, the brother
of her deceased husband; and he, in return
had the liberty to refuse-under this con-
dition, however, that the woman should come
to him in the presence of the elders, and
loose the shoe from his foot, and spit in his
face.

SLIaHTED SwAINs.-A social innovation,
known as the Society Of Rejected Lovs.,
has recently taken root in Nashville, Tenn,
which seems destined to an extended popu-
larity. It seems that the qualifications for
membership of this club are simply what
the name of this institution purports, the
fact of having been rejected or discarded by
young lady, together with a fair average
social standing and personal reputs. There
is thought to be not particle Of doubt that
this club is organized upon basis that will
speedily make it the most select affair Of its
kind in the world, as far as sturdy manhood
and bonhomie are concerned. The select
ness will be infinitely enhanced by rule Of
the club, which provides for the instant and
ignominious expulsion Of any member who
betrsys his weakness by going back to .
young lady after she has discarded him once,
whether ct her instance or his own. When
member finally marries he Is put on the 70.
tired list, but can be reinstated in active
membership in the event Of becoming Q
widower. There is something in the spirit
Of an inception such as ID realized In this
Club of Rejected Lovers, to challenge the
kindly consideration Of any man in whose
breast is touch Of pathos or in whose brain
there is spark Of Rumor. The members
propose to turn their discontinue into msr.

I bacco, divine, rare superexcellent tobacco,
which goes far beyond all their panaceas,
potable gold, and philosophers stones; a
sovereign remedy to all diseases; but, as it is
commonly abused by most men, which take
it as. tinkers do ale, It's plague, mischief,
violent purger of goods, lands, and health:
One may read in this the experience OF
many "merrie, fecete, and juvenile" hours
with old John Rouse, of the BOdleian, in
the back quad of Christ church, for he, like
Burton, was hero Of the weed. Mathe-
maticians have generally been great smo.
kers, though we hope for the honor Of
the name they did not, like Sir Isaac
Newtow, use the fingers Of their lady loves
for shoppers. All the wits Of Queen Anne's
time were nothing without their pipes.
Steele wrote with pipe in his mouth, and it
was when wreathed in smoke, that Addison
shone most. Dryden, after his snuff box,
loved Whit, and the great Mr.. CQngreve
scorned not "churchwarden;" Ambrose
Phillips was eloquent in it's praises, and his
namesake John has written q delightful
alcaic ode in its praise. Who can forget
honest,,D Browns "Little pipe Of mighty
power" and think of Daniel Defoe without
his pipe? The Spectator" always devoted
an hour in the evening to absorbing clay,
and if ever his equanimity was disturbed it
was when the dancing Frenchman broke his
pipes. In later times tobacco has not been
SO popular with literary men; Shelley could
not endure pipe, nor could Edgar Poe or
Moore. Neither Macaulay nor DeQuincey
were smokers. If report speaks truly, how.
ever, good many distinguished writer's Of
our own day keep up tho traditions Of olden
times. The novelty of Dickens did not suf.
fer, nor perhaps do the poems Of Mr.. Ten
nyson, from their devotion to the "sweete
habit"

A First Class London Fog.

For two days past the swarming British
metropolis has been enveloped in first class
London fog, as far SURPRISING in density and
darkness New York fog as tropical storm
surpasses a Scotch drizzle. Floundering in
their thick fog of the last two days the Cock
news have had hard time of it. Numerous
collisions among the river craft are reported
on the Thames, and in the streets of the city
between foot passengers and carts and drays,
from which some lives were lost and many
persons we're wounded. 1t appears, too, that
this heavy fog extended over q considerable
portion Of England, for a very alarming
railway collision, near Birmingham, is
charged to the density of the fog. The
obscurity, it is said was such that it was
impossible for the engine driver of either
train to see the approach of the other But
where were the engine whistles? There was
apparently on both sides negligence in fail
ing to give the warming of the whistle
The same charge may be applied, no doubt,
TO the steam craft in the Thames Evidently
the river men on the Hudson know how to
deal with fog better than the Londoners
themselves, who spend half their lives in the
fog.
