ART AND HEART.

The beautiful and rich young widow Of
| Col. de Rouge, who fell in the last sortie
against the Germans in the environs OF
Paris, made her first appearance in society
since her bereavement at quiet dinner
party given by relative about a month
ago, and recognized in her riS-d-riS at table
the man who had won her heart before the
eXigencies Of family pride compelled her to
bless the late Colonel Of Infantry with her
hand. Liverolles was the name of the
once Tilted gentleman, who. though of
good family, painted portraits for liveli-
hood, and he eOldly declined all the lady's
earnest Overtures for recognition. She
managed to find out, however, that he was
no richer than in his days of romance, and,
indeed, could scarcely earn his bread since
the war. To his poverty, rather than a
change in the heart Of which he formerly
besOught her acceptance, she attributed his
repellant manner on the present occasion,
and boldly determined to become his bene-
factreSs.
On the following day she went bravely to
the artists obscure studio, attired in the
plainest manner, and without a word con-
corning the past, ordered a miniature of
herself. LiverOlleS as teTsely &C
cepted the commission, and the sittings
began. BIT when the picture was half
finished the painters landlady, with whom
he was in arrears for rent, suddenly burst
into the study and demanded her money at
once; with the observation that an artist
who was COMPEL d to paint ''grisettes"
must be very near his last pecuniary gasp.
'You see the difficulty we are in, my
friend" commented Madame de Rouge
not at ali angered by the episode; 'we are
both compromised Liyerolles saw it,
but knew not how TO act. II should never
have let you come to this poor place,
Madame. l am a ruined man, but
should not have suffered you to incur such
an insult and scandal" he said, self-re-
peacefully. "There is one way to make
insult harmless said the widow, as coOlly
as before. "And that is s." he began.
'By marrying me-" explained his old
sweetheart, frankly. And they were mar
ried within a week.

terday and freely exchanged their political
views. One of them was heard to enunci-
ate the following, with the most killing
suayity: go won't we have a good time
when we cit civil rights? How these white
folks will hang their heads when we can
sit at their tables and put on as much
style as they do, Why, do you believe 1t,

white woman about that thing the
eyebrows bowed their backs, the mouth

CONGRESSMAN LUTTRELL, of Califor-
mia, says that the soil Of that State has far
greater wine-prOducing capabilities than
that Of ofthe most favored grape growing
countries of Europe. In Germany the av-
ersge yield Of wine is 166 gallons to the
acre; and in France, in 1869, the yield ay-
eraged $50 gallons TO the acre. Whether
California, with improved methods of man
ufaeture and increased experience on the
part Of vine-growers, will ever produce a
quality of wines which can compete in the
markets of the world with the best French
and German wines, is a question which
time must determine.

THE RETURN.

In the meantime the PROV of the boat
had been turned down stream. Refreshed
by the cool evening breeze and RECALLED at
intervals with choice selections by the
band, the excursiOnists had John j. Nc
Cam out again. He was immensely funny
and wound up by referring in very neat
style to the "absent fair ones nor forget
ting, by the way, to say good word for
the boys in blue, whose music contributed
so materially TO the pleasures of the day.
Then followed brief speeches from Major
w. Hooper, who brought in some of his
best stories, and Messrs. Geo. Goodrich, E.
II. Forsyth and T.. WaitZfeller After a
stay of half an hour at Priestly's Springs, the
boat proceeded on down stream as far as the
railroad bridge-dingy hankerchiefs waving
frantically from the WOrk-house windows as
she passed-then turned and landed at the
wharf at p. NJ. While the stage plank
was being hauled out, cheers were given for
the officers Of the boat, the band and for
Messrs. Wheless 81 Parsons, who planned
the excursion and carried out so successful
ly all the arrangements connected there
with. 1t can be stated with the most con-
sistent regard for truth, that not a man Of
the party went ashore in bad humOr; all
agreed that the affair was one of the most
pleasant in which the lad ever participa-
ted, not single circumstance having Oc-
CURED to mar the general enjoyment. BY
all means, as is now proposed, let us have
these cotton excursions at least once a
year, if they are TO be on the scale
and Of the character of that in
which the Bulls and Bears Joined with
so hearty a spirit of cooperation yes
terday. What though the stay-at- homes
sneeringly asked, as we disembarked,
allows cOtton?" We behaved like Chris
tianS throughout, and came home sober as
judges. If there was any carousing, hard
swearing or other conduct unbecoming gen
tlemen, on board the Shippers Own, it did
no: come within the range of this faithful
chrOnicler's observation.

1t is one hundred and eighty-five miles
from Nashville TO anywhere, and in that
area IS a country not equaled for soil and
climate either North OF South. What we
| need is pOPulatiOn-the great source of
wealth. We may not think of exactly the
way to bring it. but TO practical, successful
men like you have shown yourselves, the
method should suggest itself. The cob
webs and mildew ought TO be brushed off
of everything about Us, and conditions re-
lating to latitude should be rejuvenated
and made new.
In recognition of Capt. Ryman's admira-
bic management throughout the excursion,
the following was then read by the Chair
man of the Committee of Arrangements:
"The Steamboat Interest: It Is to the to-
bacco trade of Nashville what the railroads
are to its cotton trade. Its transportation
facilities are exempliied in the elegant
craft upon which we are now riding, and
the efficiency of its management in the
gallant officer who commands her.r
This was worth dozen sets of cut and
dried resolutions of formal thanks, and was
appreciated in that light by Capt. Ryman.
Mr.. Frank Coleman, Of the Bonner, re-
sponded briefly in his behalf, referring in
complimentary terms to the men identified
with the river interest, and to the COM
mander of the Shippers Own, in par
ticular.

While the ''bright little craft is pushing
her way up the Cumberland, in that leis-
Urely way suggestive of anything but "bus-
mess" a knot of us interview Capt. Ryman
as to fishing prospects, with rather dis
cOuraging results. He takes in our por-
tentOus array of tackle with a compassion
ate sweep of his optics and says, ''You can
fish almost anywhere along here"-nothing
more. Good old IZaak WaltOn's disciples
gaze over the guards modify or discuss in
undertone the probable facilities for a
swim" By and by the Captain revives
us somewhat with soy about Mrs. Ry-
mans vengeance. The lady has mind of
her own, and she did not consider this way
of married men going off on a days lark
without their wives, as exactly among the
prophecies. She proposed to invite said
outraged better-halves to embark on the
Captains other boat and follow us as a
feet of observation, herself proposing to
sake command. As l. happened, however,
the skipper of the 5. o. thought one Cap
tain would do for a family and so de-
clared a blockade.
After one or two landings, we pass the
mouth of Stones river, then touch at the
