The neighboring emperors and
kings, in such a manner that
they have never been able or
willing to fit them together
again. 1t is queer that Poland
does not produce a carpenter
or joiner with sufficient skill to
reconstruct the kingdom out of
the scattered fragments of the
nationality, especially when it
can be shown that the uniting
talent and disposition are not
waiting in Poland. But one of
the queerest things ever done
in Poland, or any where else,
happened in Galicia austrian

hadn't had a wedding in Cali
Cha for some time, and were
generally delighted at the
prospect of one. 1t was a Jew
ish couple who were TO be mar
ried, and the day was set, and
the feast was prepared, and the
town was invited, and the bride
was decked, and the rabbi was
there, and everything was
ready for a big time, but the
bridegroom who tarried, and
would not come TO ill up the
full measure of expectancy.
The company waited for some
hours, and began to be tired
and hungry. Somebody an
nounced that the bridegroom
would not come, and every
body was in a condition to
believe anything bad of him.
What was to be done2 There
was TO have been a wedding
and the proceeding had gone
too far to stop it. Weddings
were too rare in Galicia to
throw away such an OrpOrtuni-
ty, but all the people of the
company were married, except
the bride, for this occasion.

there. What could be donel

The Montgomery Advertiser
says:
At the close of the late war
Columbus, Ga. had not a single
cotton factory remaining. The
few that had been there were
destroyed by Wilson's burners.
Now the manufacture of cotton
is the distinguishing industry
of the city, and from five tn
six thousand bales of the staple
are annually consumed there,
And still columbus is not
happy. She now proposes to
build two more factories, and
the great argument in favor OF
the enterprise is that the thing
pays. 1t is well known thai
! there is more wealth in Mont
gomery than in Columbus, but
it appears that we lack either
the enterprise or the pluck o.
our bright little sister on tht
Chattahoochie. While we sit
here deliberating in long de
bates, she addresses herself
actiAely TO the task in hanC

WORD OF CAUTIoN.-Until
it is known whether Gov.
Kellogg has signed the EXemp-
ton law, and whether it
exempts $3.50 more property
than is now exempted from
seizure, it would be well for
our merchants to exercise great
caution in the advances they
are required and expected to
make on the growing crops.
Party and political legislation
may be well dreaded by men
whose all is engaged in legiti-
mate commerce. We are not an
alarmist, we trust, but advise
our merchants to "go slow
around the bend" just now, on
the question of advancing plan

But whether this be so or not the entire question

any danger Of having our liberties subvertea 1t Is
more through the extension OF ofices, the multi
pication of government patronage, than in the
disposal Of the Presidential office. And In this tie
evil is less In the concentration OF power in the

OF desire for office among the people. But the
tendency of President Grants administration has
been to repress this propensity by establishing the

series Of articles that should General Grant de-
sire it, he has 1t In his power to secure his election

such an event IL characterized as an inevitable
prelude to Cesarism or empire. Other prominent
journals of the North and West, entertaining diff
ferent political views On all the issues Of the past
agree with the HERALD, and accept the remedy
proposed-an amendment to the constitution, pre-
venting any person from holding the Presidential
chair for three successive terms.
There are other journals, mainly supporters OF
General Grants administration, that pronounced
the articles referred to sensational and their au-
thor an aarmst. This does not lessen the force OF
the fac. that there is difference of opinion among
republican newspapers as to the question OF the
reelection Of President Grant, and hence division

declares Its purpose to make use OF all parties TO
