"Getting" Married in England.

Prentice Milford, writing of getting mar
ried in England, says 81 WAS occupied near
ly two months IN getting papers signed, pay
ing for certificates and signatures, and getting
permission of various people to get married.
1t was regular chancery job. 1t was trip
through the circun. locution Office. The pater-
nal English Government puts various obstruc-
tons in the way of matrimony to keep its
people virtuous. There was necessity for
our marriage to take place in the Roman
Catholic Church. The English Government
will not allow a Rom an Catholic priest to
marry couple without putting its official
finger in the pie. 1t insists virtually on
marrying the parties itself before the union
shall be considered legal. First, we had to be
cried in church. Then it was necessary to
apply to the registrar to certify to him that
our banns were published. He wouldn't let
us marry until twenty-one clear days after the
first certificate had been taken out. And be-
fore he would give us that certificate he re-
quired that my wife that now is should have
the consent of her father. So she went and
obtained his consent Then we went to the
registrar and said we had the consent of her
father. But that would not do; we must have
his written consent. But the old man wasn't
so ready to give that He had veered around
or somebody had been talking to him, and he'd
be more careful in allowing his daughter to
marry foreigner; because Americans with
many Englishmen do rank as foreigners, and
they have all sorts of tales current among
them about poor girls being entrapped into
marriage, carried to America and sold as
slaves You may stare. but this is true.
They've got our negro slavery of the past and
the present merchandise of Chinese women in
California all mixed up in their heads, and
this is the result of it. 1t was long job get
ting the old mans signature, but the girl got
it at last, and she can get most anything when
she makes up her mind to. She left home
and set up for herself at an age when most
young We men are lingering about the rag
baby era. The registrar made out a paper
and told us to call again in twenty-one days.
We did so, and then he gave us another paper.
But this did not marry us. MIR. Yardly must
have hand in this business. Mr. Yardley is
something or other which must be
present in behalf of the English Gov
eminent whenever ceremony is per
formed by Roman Catholic priest. So I
went to Mr.. Yardley and paid him four shil-
lings and sixpence, and at the altar he read
something to me and made me sign another
paper. There was the register to be signed in
the vestry. Then there was another paper
STILL in which l promised the church not to
interfere with my wifes religion, not to en-
deavor to convert her to another faith, and to
have all my children brought up in the Catho-
lie faith. | suppose now | am completely
married l am not quite certain. and halt
expect some other paper to pop up for my sig
nature, or some forgotten official to pop up
from some unexpected quarter, with another
certificate and shilling fee."

As an evidence of the benifcence of carpet
bag thief rule in this parish and State, lock
upon the streets of the city of Baton Rouge at
the number OF poor negro beggars. Said an
able-bodied negro lad to US Friday morning,
please give me nickel to buy me loaf OF
bread; I'm starving" Said another poor crea-
ture, an able-bodied woman, ''Please sign this
charity paper for me; I'm starving at Spring
field Landing and want to move to Baton
Rouge" Go ask the thieving carpet-bag,
scalawag and negro legislative vultures who
have plundered the white people until they
are too poor to give these negroes work;
these Radical vultures having gulped
down the wealth OF the white people, who
are the greatest sufferers by the rapacity of
the thieves? The negro, because he is hired
and paid for his work by the white people !;
the minute the white man S money gives out
the negro laborer is thrown out of employ
ment and must emigrate or starve. Negroes
have died this year in this city from sheer
starvation. On whose heads rests the blame
for the death of these poor creatures? Those
internal scoundrels who have by their corrup-
ton and theft despoiled the white people, the
only ones able and willing to give these crea-
lures work, of their wealth; driven commerce
and prosperity from our city and State and
made our people, whitea and colored, a band of
paupers. We say that upon the heads of
these carpet-bag thieves and ignorant negro
dupes in official positions rests the blame for
these deaths. Baton Rouge AdUOcate.

A North Carolina correspondent of the
Cleveland Herald who, as the editor says, is
colored man of intelligence and influence,
writes very sensibly about mixed schools in
the South. He says that if the Civil Rights
Bill should be passed by Congress next win
ter, the clause relating to schools should be
stricken out. He thinks that the establish
ment Of mixed schools, besides changing an
established system of education in the South
and intensifying the hostility between whites
and blacks, would deprive thousands of young
colored men and women Of their. occupation
as teachers, which under the existing system
they are allowed to pursue. At present the
whites, who own the bulk Of the taxable prop
erty. are willing to aid in the support of sepa-
rate common schools, while the State univer-
sites are open to students of all colors. IN
der these circumstances he thinks it would be
highly injudicious to disturb by Federal inter-
ference an arrangement which gives impair
tial justice and complete satisfaction to each
interested party. The truth is, that with the
exception Of a few noisy politicians. the blacks
in the South do not wish for mixed schools,
but, on the contrary. are quite as much averse
to them as the whites. For Congress to in
sist upon them can do no good, even as a
measure for the benefit of the Administration
party, while forcing such system upon the
people 3ainst their will would inevitably re-
suit in many serious disadvantages, If mot the

A NEW WAY TO DINE WITHOUT PR1cE.-Lucy
Paris, says:
One Of the nastiest tricks, but at the same time
one Of the cleverest Of the day, was recently per-
petrated on the restaurant keepers here. An en-
terprising genius set out one day to get first
class dinner witout paying for it, and he succeed
cockroaches, he killed them by immersing them
in boiling water, and with the hfeless remains
Of his victims tied up in handkerchief and con-
cealed in his pocket, he sailed forth in quest of
dinner. Entering the Cafe Brabant, he took
seat at a table in the public room and ordered
some soup. Tue soup was brought in its neat
little plated tureen, and the hungry customer
proceeded to ladle out plateful of it, which he
consumed with much appetite. Having nearly
finished his soup, he watched his opportunity,
popped one of his cockroaches into the tureen,
and then screamed for the waiter.
The waiter came, and with speechless indigna-
nation, the rascal pointed to the defunct insect.

gentleman, followed by storm OF apologies aud
regrets from the repentant waiter. He proceeded
to the Maison Doree and ordered . dish Of fish,
which he obtained on the like cheap terms and in
the same ingenious manner. The Cafe Anglais

A CONVENTION OF PLANTERs.-We understand
a convention of the planters OF this parish is in
contemplation to take the present situation of
affairs into consideration, and to come to some
Dutual understanding as to the course they will
pursue during the coming year. Many of them
are in favor Of sending for white men to take the
place Of all turbulent and partisan negroes next
year, while others are willing if they cannot get
white labor to turn their fields out and not Guilt
are to be robbed by the carpet-bag thieves and be
compelled by the General Government to submit

The French Peasantry.

THEIR DISBELIEF IN NAPoLEoNs DEATH.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times, writing about the journey of Marshal
MacMahon through the provinces, says:
The news Of the Emperors death was re-
ceived in the country with degree of incre-
duity. 1t was alleged to be fabrication of
his enemies, who wanted to prevent his re-
turn, and it was stated that he would certain
ly reappear. The Oath of May arrived and
the peasantry were informed that the majority,
for which they entertained no respect, had
overturned NJ. Theirs, and had adopted
Marshal MacMahon in his place. Every
party began Immediately to undermine the
Marshals power. The Mayors of the Empire
business was to p I'VE the way for the restora-
ton of the Empire. The press told them
that it was the accession Of Henry V.
The superseded mayors told them it was the
betrayal Of the republic. No official person.
age ever told them that the marshal's function
was honestly to carry on the Septennate
This, indeed, would have been useless tor by
the time the French peasantry understand the
nature of the Septennate it will for some time
have ceased to exist. MacMahon, in the eyes
of the, rural population, is power for the pur-
pose Of awaiting favorable moment for bring
ing back the king or the emperor. He recent
ly began to be popular on account OF his hav-
ing defended the tri-color against the white
flag; but certain interval has since elapsed,
and this impression was beginning to fade
away In the eyes of the peasants the Mar
shall, as tangible chief of the country, did
not exist 1t was necessary to remedy such q
state of things, and this was the primary OBJ
jet of the Marshars journey. Will this OBJ
ject be realized? Now the peasants have for
some time become very suspicious. They
have been told so many things so much evil of
this party and of that, that they no longer be-
ieve anything that is said to them; they will
no longer believe anything but what they see
They do not see the President of the Repub-
lie except on horseback at certain distance,
and in Marshars uniform. Well, what do you
think has happened? A friend of mine has
conversed in the environs of Mans with peas
ants who told him there had been an attempt
to deceive them; that the empire existed in
Paris, and that as proof of it they had with
their own eyes seen the Emperor in the very
costume which he formerly wore, with the
same large red ribbon, with moustaches and
short hair, but little grayer than formerly.
They had been told that it was NJ arsEal Pres
ident, but this was an attempt to trifle with
them. A marshal would not have been dressed
exactly like an emperor; it was really the En-
peror who was making this journey, and the
peasants were kept at a distance to prevent
their recognizing him. All that my friend
could say was fruitleas; and they added that
the soldiers at the Mans review had been for
hidden to cheer, because they would naturally
have exclaimed, V;ue Emperor" being near
enough to recognize him"
