A Romance in sEigh Lille.

At the gaming tnblo the Duke of
Richmond incurred debt of honor to
Lord Cadogan, which he WAS unable
to pay, and it was agreed that his son,
lad of fifteen, who bore the title of
Earl of March, should marry the still
younger daughter of Lord Cadogan
The boy was sent for from school and
the girl from the nursery, n clergyman
was in attendance, and the children
we're told that they were to be married
on the spot. The girl had nothing to
say the boy cried ont, They surely
are not going to marry me to that
dowdy !" But married they We're. A
post-chaise was at the door the
ride-groom wns packed Off wiah his
tutor to make the grand tour, and the
bride was sent back to her mother. -
Lord March remained abroad for sew
eral years, after which he returned to
London, a we'll educated, handsome
young man, but in no haste to meet
his wife, whom he never saw except
upon the occasion of their hasty mar
ringe 80 he tarried III London to
amnse himself. One night at the opera
full young lady in the boxes. ''WhO is
that p he asked of a gentleman beside
him "You must be n stranger III
London" was the reply, mot to
know the toast of the town, the bcar-
tiful Lady March" The Earl went
straight TO the box, announced hirs
self. and claimed his bride. The two
fell III love with each other on the
spot, and lived long and happily to-
gether; and when the husband died
she also died, of a broken heart within
few months. .-Wc Gailry for Sap

COLONIZATION OF THE BLACkS'

The National Era, Fred. Douglass
paper, gives the following advice to
his brother freedmen:
"Leave those States in which you
are in the minority, and tho subjects
of prejudice and outrage, and remove
to the States where you will be in the
majority, and thus protect yourself
against the indignities to which you
are now exposed in many of the States" "
Douglass goes on to point out South
Carolina, Florida, Mississippi and
Louisiana, as eligible States for the
residence of negroes, where they may
protect themselves against tho 'tindig-
mites" spoken Of.
If Douglass had directed his words
to the negro politicians, we should ap-
plaud the wisdom of his advice to his
colorcd friends. Both races would be
better off, the preiudices between them
would die out, the conflict and dis
trust would end, if the so-called lead
ers of tho negroes were colonized upon
reservations" just as the Indians are.
In that case the Industrious and hon
est colored people would be contented
| and prosperous, and the whole cOun-
try would be benefited by tho change.
However, this advice, coming from
| tho formost leader OF tho blacks in the
Uunited States, shows that he does
not belive that the races can 1.-Two con-
tentedly and peacefully together. Le4

THE OFFICIAL VOTE.

We publish in detail, elsewhere, the
official vote cast for Representative in
Congress-, Judge and Solicitor in our
Congressional and judicial Districts.
It will be seen that the vote is large
and the majorities are all We could
reasonably expect. Our success does
not result from any divisions or leth-
ergy on the part of our political oppo-
ncnta, but from q solid and reliable
increase Of our own vote. Colonel
Waddell receives one thousand two
hundred and ffty-eight more votes
than Judge Merrimon did in 1872, and
Judge McKoy receives in his counties,
one Thousand one hundred and twenty
two moro votes than were cast for
Judge Merrimon, while Neill Mckay
and Judge Russell received largely in
creased votes over that cast for Gov
ernor Caldwell, Mckay getting seven
hundred and twenty more, and Russell
nine hundred and twenty-eight.
This is most gratifying result and
decides the political status of thess
Districts. Judge Russell was by odds.
the most popular Republican in the
District, polling in some counties a
number Of white votes that no other
candidate of his party would have re-
coived. The people, however, were
aroused as they never have been be-
fore, and our own candidates eom-
manded respect and support, and the
victory was as emphatic as it was i'm
portant. The figures speak for them
