T11TE HUNT1Ne AMERICANs.-A

TITLE HUNTING AMERICANs.-A
correspondent of one of the Western
papers, writing from Europe, and de-
sirous, probably, of making a telling
narrative, rehashes the old story of
the "title hunting" of American girls
abroad. The writer is living in Sax
.Ony, at Dresden, and the case he
mentions may be authentic, but they
sound very much as if they were in
tended 'sfor Cowes and amarket.n In
other words, as if they were apocry-
phal. Doubtless young Saxon off
GERS have many a Irritation with the
young ladies of the American colony
in Dresden, as other exquisites may
in London, or Paris, or elsewhere; for
when a gallant lieutenant, or Cap
tain or Colonel, meets ono of our fair
countrywomen, whose freedom and
ease of manner are new to him, there
is about her wonderful fascination.
A German, however, whether Saxon
or other, is kept, in the matter of
marriage, very much under Govern
ment surveillance. Before the we'd
ding-day he must deposit with the
War Office about four thousand dol
lars, the interest of which goes to ed
ucate the children, and in case of
death, the principal reverts to the
widow Even if he be a Won some
thing OF other, he often finds the con-
dition onerous. As a general thing,
German officers, especially those be-
longing to the minor prineipalities,
are good material to firt with, but
not for marriage.
THE SPIRTTUALIsTs.- 1T is not gen.
orally known that Mrs Woodruff as
pires to be a leader of the spiritual
lists. She is making elaborate ex-
plantations each week, in her journal,
of phenomena hitherto inexplicable
as the riddle of the Sphinx, and we
presume that her utterances are re-
garded as those of an oracle by a
large number of persons, at least she
claims that such is the case. She has
a splendid opinion of herself, says
the Washington Chronicle, and it
would not surprise the world very
much if she took it into her precious
head to help rule the roost, she will
do so as surely as she did in the Wo-
mans Right business. Respectable
people may kick against her resump-
ton of authority as they did in that
instance, but she will carry herpoint
unless she is squelched at the word
go. The only way to stop her career
will be to have the spirit world re-
fuse to inspire her further, SO that
she cannot go on in her apostolic Ia
bors.
