DR.. L: B. Dittoe writes us from Shell
byville, Illinois, that he is highly
pleased with that place, and the country
surrounding it. He represents the town
as lively, thriving place, and an ex-
cellent market for farmers, who always
find ready cash purchasers for their
products. He thinks the country is a
fine one for agricultural purposes, but
the yield Of corn this year is not an
average crop, nor is the wheat crop as
good as in former years-the heavy
rains just before harvest having dam
i.sped it materially.

The promptness and decision Of charac-

AN APOLOGY REFUSED.

They had a very pointed way of ex-
pressing their sentiments in the olden
time in England. Diplomacy was not
studied in the Highlands, at all events.
In a recent work, noticed in the Satuw-
day Review, there is an anecdote so Gu
rious and characteristic that we extract
it, as we have never seen it in print be-
fore. Sir John Schaw, of Greenock, a
Wing, lost a hawk supposed to have
been shot by Bruce, of Clackmannan, a
Jacobite In Sir Johns absence, Lady
Greenock sent to Bruce letter with an
offer of her intercession if Mr.. Bruce
would sign a very strong apology en-
closed. His reply was:
For the honored hand of Dame Marga-
ret Schaw, of Greenock-Madam: l
did not shoot the hawk. But sooner
than have made such an apology as
your ladyship has had the consideration
to dictate, would have shot the hawk,
Sir John Schaw and your ladyship. l

servant to command.

OLD MAIDS.

There is an important branch of an old
maids education which is too often utterly
neglected. We are speaking now OF those
old maids who are not obliged to work for
support, and yet have only enough for
their own wants. If she has wealth, she
will find plenty of friends and flatterers,
and our advice is not so needtul; if she has
to earn her own bread, no matter what her
position, she enters the class of working
women. This neglected branch is the cul-
tivation of her tastes and gifts. The ma
iOrity of wives and mothers have not time
to keep up such accomplishments as music,
painting, love of reading, and even liking
for fancy-work. With an old maid it is
very different. By the cultivation of these
accomplishments she not only increases her
own happiness, and banishes loneliness and
sad thoughts, but she gives pleasure to those
around her, and is often able to make her
self useful as well as agreeable.
And i'll those last words lie the true Sc
cret of how a woman should finish her edu-
cation to be an old maid. She must try to
be amiable, entertaining, and unassuming,
but it is absolutely necessary that she
should be useful. She must not expect to
be loved only for what she is, but for what
she does. We have pretty, helpless, selfish
wives cared for and cherished with the most
unwearied devotion by their husbands and
children; but who ever saw an old maid of
that stamp who was not considered silly,
useless-nay, an absolute nuisance. An
old maid has no right to forbearance, care
and love. Whatever share of each falls to
her lot must be won By her own exertiOns,
and kept by careful foStering.-FrOm No

MARRIED ON SHORT NOTICE.

couple were persuaded to end the bliss Of
cOurtship at a birthday party where they
happened to be present. The town re-
corCier, who was present and wanted job,
gave out at the opening of the festivities
that he was at the service Of any who might
desire to be married. The young man took
the hint and piled his sweetheart with en-
treaties to avail herself Of the opportunity,
but she wouldn't. The recorder flung him
self into the breach with, Il will give S35

marry tonight" Others followed. ''fll
give a $50 bedstead," ''buTeau," ''lOOk-
ing-glass.'' a o'clock" etc, until presents
worth 800 had been offered. The young
maiden's friends thronged about her, plead
ing that she should not let the chance slip,
and Just as the party was breaking up,
about II o'clock, Mr.. HunstOck came around
to the recorder and whispered in his ear;
'.Stop a leedle, dots all right, by chinks; we
got wedding anyhow pOoty sOOn!' The
company stood still in hats and bOnnets,
while the recorder proceeded and said: Il
pronounce you man and wife, and may
God bless yOu.'' and Miss STERN was Mrs.
Green. to the intense delight of all present.

Protect the LabOTerS.

TO the Union and American:
Great Britain shields the labOring classes
from oppression by wise and stringent
laws. Among them there is one which de
serves the special attention Of the people Of
our State, who are so anxious to attract inn
migrants hither This law under penalty
of fine and Imprisonment. prohibits employ
ers from offering to pay laborers in store
orders. For the first offence there is fine
of flO: for the second, $50; and for the
third. Imprisonment. Store orders are veX-
atious and ruinous to the labOrer and the
mechanic. They have to pay the merchant
who is willing to fill the order, % to so per
cent more for the goods, than they would
have to pay another merchant or the same
merchant with cash in hand for the same
goods. And moreover, they are obliged
often to take goods for which they have no
present need. Very often, too, there is
collision between the merchant and eng
plover to divide the profits that are thus
wrung out Of the laborers. We have no
law to inhibit men from thus ensnaring the
artless and helpless laboring people. II
would he well, therefore, for our Legisla-
tlre to make note of this matter, and con-
slider whether law similar to that referred
to above would not be useful in Tennessee.

The blind Ex.Confedernte soldier.

MIR. John ii. Woodbridge, the blind eX-
Confederate soldier. who had both eyes
shot out at the battle of Perryville, will de-
liver lecture here before leaving, onLight
and the Eye. The Louisville Courier
Journal thus refers to his lecture in that
city:
\ fair audience attended the lecture of
Capt. Woodbridge at Masonic Temple last
night. The lecturer treated his theme,
Light and the Eye" with an ease indica-
tive ofthorough knowledge of the subject.
This lecture is not strictly based Oh scien-
titic principles. intended for the scientifical-
~ inclined alone, bit for any one who en-
Joys that great boon, Eight and the eye, =
which the lecturer sadly feels the want of.
He fully impreSseS them with how much
happiness and grief the eye can express at
times, and in his own person makes mute
appeal for that unfortunate class who are
deprived OF their greatest assistant in bat
Ting with the world. The close of his lee
ture was particularly impressive in de-
sCribing his last recollectiOns Of sight. and
was admirable in its simplicity Of diction
and delivery. The lecture, all in all, made
such a pleasant impression on the hearers
present as to prompt the desire that the
lecture should be repeated if Capt. Wool
bridge could be persuaded to do so. If the
gentleman will consent to deliver his lee
tUTe some evening next week he will find a
large audience to receive him.

HOW QUEEN VICTORIA MOURNED
FOR ALERT

A London correspondent of the Ne,c
York Sun writes of the widowed Queen
of England:
''She had the arm of the late Prince
Albert modelled in wax and clothed,
and would pass hours sitting with it
drawn through hers, absorbed in mel
anchOly reflections recalling the past.
The apartments of the deceased were
kept in precisely the same order as that
observed in his lifetime; his slippers
and dressing gown regularly aired; his
clothes, boots and toilet apparatus
placed as though he might come back
at any moment to claim them. She
slept land sleeps with his portrait
pinned on the bed head and framed with
immortelles beside her. Her letter
paper and envelopes We're so deeply
bordered with black that the white
space resembleda mere patch on a sable
ground. Lastly, she kept all her SER
wants IN the cOmpletest mourning for
long, long time, and wanted the Prince
OF Wales, even after he got married and
set up for himself at Marlboro House,
to do the same, which the young man
fatty refused to do, and left Windsor
IN a huff, not returning for considera-
bic period. This was the beginning of
frequent quarrels between them up to
the time of his dangerous illness and
convalescence in 1871, which effected a
reconciliation. Indeed. it is a histori-
cal tradition of the House of Bruins
wick, that all reigning mOnarchs are at
odds with their heirs-a apparent. and as
swedly Queen Victoria and her first
born are no exceptions to the rule"
