gentleman who was to give dinner party
spent a whole week showing his servant
how to make mock turtle soup. When
the day came she made the mock and the
turtle and the soup all right, and just as
she was about to pour in bottle Of claret,
little boy entered, singing Everything
is lovely and the goose hangs high, "
which distracted her attention, and she
made mistake and poured in bottle OF
hair tonic.

But how did the mock turtle turn

LEvEL-HEADED LovERs.-A singular
marriage was recently made by fascinat-
ing lady school-teacher in Kentucky
country town. First she rejected him but
he behaved with SO much dignity under
the notification of her refusal, neither get
ting drunk nor hating her, and he mani
tested so many signs Of earnest affection
that she relented and wrote him a note
informing him that she had reconsidered.
The young man, all aglow with happiness,
hastened to her side, and insisted on i'm
mediate marriage. But here an unlocked
for obstacle interviewed. Her school term
was but half out, and the stony-hearted
directors refused to cansel her engagement
except at the expense of forfeiture of half
term. Lover was importunate. Finally
the lady consented to compromise. She
bounced into the young mans buggy and
was driven to Danvillc, where the knot
was hastily tied. Then she went back to
her school and the groom went about his
business, with the understanding that he
was not to see her or poster " her in any
way until next July, when her term will
be finished.

supply of pine from the upper Mississippi
country and the facilities for transportation
both by water and rail. indicate that this city
will before the close of the present century
be the largest city northwest of Chicago
No natural boundaries fix the limit of it's ex-
tension, bat it may extend for miles in any
direction. The soil is dry, and no nicer
building lots are to be had in any city.
Chicago is springing up from it's ashes, and
in two or three years no signs of the great
calamity will remain. The anxiety to get
ah~ad and keep ahead of St. Louis, is the
one great motive which animates all the
leading citizens. In the great race for su-
periority, each has it's natural advantages and
time alone can decide the contest Certainly
business is not done on small scale here.

900 bushels of wheat and l 800 barrels of
flour, making 1877 tons. If dealers clear
two or three cents bushel, they are en-
gagged in profitable business, but if such a
cargo should be lost, rich man would be
made poor. N.Bw.

MARK TwAIN.-I believe | have allud
ed to Mark Twain, who, although he has
for nearly two years been citizen of
Hartford, is but little known personally,
or seldom seen by our people. He re-
sides at Nook Farm, at the home of Mrs.
Isabella Beecher Hooker, having rented
her furnished house. 1t is about mile
west of the depot, in retired spot but
with a choice circle of neighbors near,
Gov. Jewell resides not far away. Charles
Dudley Warner is within stones throw.
Francis Gillette, E. Chamberlain formerly
of Springfeld), and Ezra Hall, are close
by, with other congenial spirits not far off,
forming community little isolated from
the impure atmosphere Of the city.

STRANGE STATEMENT ABOUT REBELLION BAT
TLEs.-Two extremely interesting statements
have recently been made, relative to the
battles of Corinth and Gettysburgh, which
throw some new light uponItnose sanguinary
contest The first is contained in a letter
written by Gen, Earl Van Dorm, on the 18th
of October. 1862, eleven days after his re-
pulse by Rosecrans, in the attack on Cor
inth, which was recently published for the
first time in Southern newspaper. In this
letter (written to Col E. NJ. Yerger), Gen.
Van Dorm acknowledges his ignorance of the
inner line of fortifcations around Corinth,
which were constructed but few days be-
fore the attack, and which he had reached
after the first days fight and failed to carry
the next morning
The second statement, which is a very eX-
traordinary one, attributes treachery to Gen.
Longstreet at Gettysburgh. The statement
is made by Brighten. Pendleton, late Chief
of Artillery of the Confederate Army OF
Northern Virginia, upon the authority OF
Gen. Lee himself. Gen. Pendleton is now
pastor OF the Episcopal church at Lexington,
and is lecturing through the South for the
purpose of raising funds to build a tomb tC
the memory of Gen. Lee. In the course
of one of these lectures he stated that, tC
his personal knowledge, derived from Lee:
own lips, Longstreet had, the night be-
fore the battle, received from Gen. Lee in
person orders to advance at the dawn OF the
next morning; that he (Gen. Pendleton)
had made a Reconnaissance in person, and
declared to Gen. Lee the perfect practica
bility Of immediate assault upon the then IN
prepared enemy: how he had waited impa
tiently till u O'Clock; how LoDgstreet a
that hour rode up to his side and sat upol
his horse, useless and inactive, uutil O 'elocl
PM; then, when the head of his column
did 90 in, his soldiers were turtle agains
the now massed and concentrated enemy
and still Robert E. Lee (Gen. Pendletol
said) refused to lay the blame upon th
shoulders of the man who had fought 8
often and so well for him." As might b
expected, the statement is creating furo
of excitement in the South.

The Vienna correspondent of the Lon
don Times says the second great settling
day Of tine Vienna Exchange proved bet
ter than anticipated. The number of
insolvents increased by about half
hundred. though there might have been
among those tolled out yesterday
dozen Who . couple of weeks ago
thought they were or were thought to be
worth . million. They were without ex-
eeption new men who had been brought
to the surface by the tide of fortune, and
few were the men among them who
dated more than four or five years back.
This in itself is sufficient to set the pres
ent crisis in its true light. They had
been gambling on the most extended
scale for many months past, the Ex-
change had been flooded with all sorts of
stocks, some of which were utterly val
ueless. while the prices Of those stocks
which had some value were driven up to
. fabulous height. The issue of some
new stock at less than twenty per cent.
premium was scarcely thought to be a
stroke of business, while in many instan-
ees financial companies which were only
beginning business, and had therefore
not earned a penny. commanded q
premium of fifty per cent. and even
more.
