The question arise, " how long did Adam
remain IN Paradise; We answer, until he
got married It would seem that Adam pre-
ferred whole world to flower garden We
reverse this order of things now. When married
we desire to renquish the world for the re-
tirement Of somo domestic paradise some en-.
chanting garden OF delights at least in imasi-
nation.
Some very learned divines have eudeavored
to fix the period OF time during which our an
cestral parents remained IN the Garden Of
Eden.
In the IIistoria Scholastica, it is stated that
the traditionary account placeslt at secea hours!
Now, if an hour be reckoned as month, that
is definite period Of time, it will be seven
months, or the interval between Spring and
FdH. When they first entered the garden,
therefore, it was filed with everything beauti-
full to behold,-the trees, shrubs and plants
were in full bloom. They remained until the
fruit was ripe, for of that Eve partook, and
by that act knocked the socks" frcm Adam
So that they must have entered the garden
In the ing, and they certainly "packed their
traps an came out of it in the .faU! Marri-
ages may be celebrated IN bowers fair as Eden,
but they must in the end be conducted and put
to the test in the workshops OF the world
There, romantic minds are speedily sober
ed down. the gloss OF pretenson soon
wears off, and "taper fingers" may perhaps
find some substantial exercise by dipping occa-
sionally into the bread pan, or the wasli-tub, or

The happy marriage is where two persons

without principally regarding the circumstances
of fortune or beauty. But what spectacles
(perhaps I ought to say pairs OF spectacles)
are occasionally to be seen. Ladies Of tower

Masculine gender are to DO met with "snuffing

persuasion, seemingly to indicate that in yield
ing themselves to the necessity Of taking that
(falsely so called) necessary evil" wife,
they had determined to select the least. Not
unirequently the names Of tho parties have
proved a source OF amusement and true poetic
wit, as, for example, in the following instances

That Richard Twig has married Julia Tree.

The Ypsilauti Sentinel says; II We can pre-
serve the Democratic party until the rubbish
and barnacles are gotr rid OF, and fair, square
issue can be had it is all we ask
And the Chicago Times of August 9Th has
this to say Of the Democratic party:
Look on this party which calls itself DEM
ocratic. A party without a single principle left
A party which fought freedom and enfranchise-
ment as long as il could, and was finally forced
tolsurrender. party which preached repud-
alton and resistance to portions OF the Consti-
tuition which 1t disapproved. and finally had to
Weld these great principles also. a party
which once professed to be the party of freedom
80 far as trade and commerce were concerned.
and finally sold out this last trace of principle
for the promised spoils or success to the worlds
champion Of trade slavery. To paint the pic
ture OF this party as 1t is would be to paint the
picture OF a vacuum, or of total darkness. And
this suggests the answer TO the double-headed
interrogatory propounded by Judge Thurmsn's
boys. The Democratic party has no sort OF
chance Of success because it has no principle,
and no purpose but success. And il is utterly
impotent for good for the twofold reason that
it cannot possibly succeed, and IL IL could there
isn't particle Of good in ii that ought TO sue
ceed."
These two papers have up TO the present
time been regarded az square, orthodox Demo.
cratic journals.

The result confirmed the impression

Important questions were cyaded or not
answered at all The substance of all
that could be elected from him was that
he did not want to fight, that the lava
bed was a bad place, and that he wanted
to go to his home on Lost River. He
wanted all soldiers moved out of the
country. If anybody wanted to talk to
him they must come to camp, and if
anything was to be done for him it must
be done there. The meeting of yester-

Che RuII.s Head Bank.

NEW DIRK, March 20.
The committee of depositors and
stockholders of the Bulls Head bank,
lately suspended, had conference to-
day. The stockholders committee an
nounced that they had agreed on pro-
position to increase the capital stock of
the bank, and allow depositors who are
most interested to take preferred stock
enough to make up the full amount of
the deficiency, thus placing the bank ia
working order again.
The Express states that circumstances
have come to light which indicate that
the Bulls Head bankswas in a hopeless
condition weeks before the officers for
mally closed the institution. The
widow of former cashier had deposited
with the bank for safe keeping $4,000
worth of stock and other property, and
when she wished to take it out of the
bank she was put off from day to day,
until finally the cashier confessed that
he could not find the box, remarking,
however, that it was safe and he would
send it as soon as found. The total loss
so far ascertained is $4,000, as fol-
lows: Capital stock, 100000; sur
plus, $4,000; amount of deposits,
