"ALL FOR A RING" -

And III be bid by thee." -Be7tTu,n.
None can truly appreciate the blessings of
the matrimonial state except those who have
tasted the sweet delights of HymeD's bonds,
and George p. Douglass, colored, whiIom
benedict, but Of late sad and disconsolate wild
over, sought consolation for his sorrows for the
loss of his better half, and paatiou for that
deep grief which passeth show, in the senti-
mental society of Jane Thornton, bright,
young quadroon, and ere long learned to love
not wisely but too we'll. But the lovely Jane
could not consent to widowed woer until that
Influence over woman's heart, many prcscn t.,
among which was six dollar diamond ring"
had been bestowed ''and with them words of
so sweet breath composed as made the things
more rich, when she at last consented to
BEARD the lion in his den
The Douglass in his hall'
But the course OF true love never did run
smooth, and there soon came time in their
love affairs which showed that they had no im-
munlty from this common fate OF all. The re-
fecting Douglass ceased his furnace, like signs,
and an enforced ceremony succeeded the ar.
dor of his impetuous love, and then there was
parting such as press the life from out
Of young hearts. The naughty Douglass
recalled his love breathing letters, the lit
tie tokens and the precious gifts those
seals Of love- which was the diamond"
ring, to which hard conditions Of the forfeiture
of love tho gentle Jane compod except the
possession OF that diamond which possessed
fascination for the female mind, aud to its
surrender she 6ercely and stubboruly dcmur-
red. All threats and entreaties to procure it
were vain, worse than folly, aud as a last cx-
pedicnt, Douglass sent his dauabter, not Mary,
removed iDScottish song, but theeuphonous Eu-
phrasia, to procure it at all hazards, and she yes
,erday visited the domicile of the melancholy
and detected Jane, and finding her absent, per-
sisted in remaining until the diamond
was produced. But Lucinda Thornton the
mistress of the house otjecting to this pro-
ceedure to recover chattels personal proceeded
to push the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS from the pre-
misses. Euphrasia Immediately evoked the
laws redress for her outraged feelings which
was this morning administered by Mayor KEN
per. who, settled that branch of the difficulty by
fning Lucinda The costs of the prosecution.
But still Euphrasia,
On hur false hand tho ring still woro,
That Ethiops Kiss and infdels adore,
and her quondan lover had to bring az action
of detiuue for its possession which was to have
been tried before Justice Padgett this at ter
noon.

poToMAo FRUIT Growers The regular
monthly meeting of the Potomac Fruit Grow
ers Association was held in Washington yes
terday, the pr asident Mr. Dillingham;, of Ac.
cotink, in the chair. DR.. Rowland and Mr..
Nccdham were appointed committee to re
cave, collect and forward specimens of fruit for
the Chicago exhibition. The association was
invited tc attend Montgomery county fair Cd
the Sth of October, and a committee of three
was appointed to represent the association at
the Culpeper fair on the l2;h OF Ostober. Mr.
Chase read an essay on the grape, and exhibit.
cd thirteen beautiful specimens Of the different
varieties of the fruit raised on his place at Gun
ston, few miles below this city, without The
use OF fertilizers. a HANDS ,me array of fruit
was spread upon the exhibition tables, among
which were some pear, picked last Thursday
from the "Endicott Pear Tree" 10 Dauycrs,
Massachusetts, which is PAS years old. The
tree was brought from K gland by Governor
Eudcott in 1880, aud now stands in the ORCH
ard where he planted it, and which is now own
ed by his liueal descendants. In regard to
sending fruit to Chicago by the present method,
Mr.. Gray thought it better to sell it here even
If only fifty cents bushel were obtained for it.,
but others thought that If proper packages
could be made fruit could be easily transported
from one extent of COUNTRY to the other. 1t
Was decided to give joint annual exhibition
aud excursion with the Farmers Club, at Mt.
Vernon Springs, on the last Saturday OF Sep
TENDER, aud that the committee who had charge
of the last excursion should also have charge
OF this.
