After Marriage.

A philosopher writes "The girl is
generally educated on novels, and her
first disappointment comes in on the
quiet Indifference of the husband after
the honeymoon. You love me no lon
ger, said bride of few months to her
better half in his gown and slippers.
Z Why do you say that, Puss?' he asked
quietly, removing a cigar from his lips.
You do not caress me nor call me pet
names you no longer seek SO anxiously
for my company, was the fearful answer.
My DEAR continued the aggravating
wretch, did you ever notice man run
ming after car? How he does run
over stones, through mud, regardless of
everything till he reaches the car and he
seizes hold and swings on. Then he
quietly seats himself and reads his paper
'And what does that mean2' An illus
tration, my dear. The car is as import
ant to the man after he gets in as when
he is chasing it, but the manifestation is
no longer called for. I would have shot
any one who put himself in my way when
in pursuit of you, as would now shoot
any one who would come between us,
but as proof Of my love you insist upon
my running after the car. Learn to
smoke, my dear, and be philosopher.
The two combined clear the brain, quiet
the nerves, open the pores, and improve
the digestion.

And the happiest clear-blue eyes.

While hens and chickens, a dozen, a score,
To meet her, hurrying come.

An Underground Church.

A curious structure is rapidly rising,
or rather, sinking, in England. It is a
church designed to accommodate the
crowded fishing population in one quar-
ter of the city. Land being difficult to
procure, it was determined to build a
church under the street. The floor of
this underground edifce lies 80 feet be-
low the surface of the road, and is reached
by descending fight of stone steps.
La form, tie church is a long parallelo-
gram, 132 by so feet. The altar is at
the north end, opposite the base of the
stairs. The structure is to have an organ

the nave of the columns of Bath stone.
Attached to the church is vestry-room,
also subterranean. The cost of the whole
building, $4,000, is borne by clergy
man of Brighton.

THE following point of interest to
the legal profession, was decided by
the United States Supreme Court on
Wednesday last: ION bill of review
in equity nothing can be examined but
the pleadings, proceedings and decree,
which, in this country, constitute what
Is called the record IN the cause. The
proofs cannot be looked into as they
can on appeal. On such bill filed by
the defendant to set aside the decree he
is bound by the answer filed on his be-
half by his solicitor, though he did not
himself read it, unless ne can show mis-
take or fraud in filing it. The answer
of other defendants cannot be read IN
his favor. When the defendant by bis
answer admits the claim to be due, and
Brays contribution from other defend
ant, without setting up any defence to
the demand, he cannot, after a decree,
and on a bill Of review, ask TO have the
decree set aside on the ground Of laches
on the part of the complainant in
bringing suit.

WHAT CHATT4NOOGA OFFERS.

In answer to enquiries made by a cit
izen Of Milwaukee who has some idea
of removing to Chattanooga, the Times
makes the following points in favor of
that growing and progressive little
city:
l. The present population is estima-
ted at 10000 to $1,000.
,. The population is eminently COS
mopohtan. 1t Is composed of native
Americans, Northern and Southern
born, German, Swcdes, English, Welsh,
Irish, and nearly every other nation
atty. Probably half the population
are Northern men.
3. We have good church buildings
and hourishing congregations Of the
Catholic, EpiscOpalian, Methodist, Pres
byterian and Baptist denominations.
T. We have a system Of public schools
which, although yet IN its infancy, Will
compare favOrably with any city, and
the schools ere steadily increasing In
efficiency.
5. The general health of the city is
remarkably good, and the death rate Is
very low. All schools Of medi inc are
represented by our physicians. The
cholera has only visited US once, in
1873.
g. People here are no more troubled
with neuralgia and rheumatism than
in any other healthy locality.
:. Board costs from $50 to $50 per
mouth. House rents range from SO
to SIS per month. Houses can be built
as cheaply here as anywhere. The
market is well supplied. Fruit is
plenty, apples, peaches, pears, grapes,
berries Of all kinds, and melons.
s. Our people have the reputation of
being very sociable and hospitable, SO
much SO that Chattanooga is a favorite
meeting place for conventions Of all
kinds. We have amusements in abun-
dance

Properly ascertained." We would
like to have the Ledger explain what it
means BY that. If the editor of the
Ledger, while sitting as a member Of
the General Assembly, at the last ses-
sion, ever opened his mouth to sug-
gest a plan by which the validity
of the State debt, either in whole or in
part. should be properly ascertained, y
we are not awnre of the fact. The en-
emies Of the State credit invariably
base their assaults upon the presumed
invalidity Of at least a portion of the
debt, but in no case have they indicated
a single specific reason why the people
are not morally and legally responsible
for the face value Of every bond that
was funded.

ACCOMMODATIONS OF THE CEN
TENNIAL
New York Herald, July :.

The Philadelphia journals have been
discussing the question of accommOda-
ton for the thousands of yisitors who
will probably go to the Centennial
This has been one of the really serious
problems attending the practical work
ing of the Exhibition. Philadelphia is
a large, cOmmodious and, in some re-
spects, a peculiar city. There are few
hotels. Wesuppose, if the space de-
voted to the entertainment of travel
leTs were occupied to its fullest extent,
there would not be room for five thou
sand guests in addition to the ordinary
population. One of the plans propos-
ed to meet this want is the building Of
new hotels. This was attempted at
Vienna, and in nearly every case the
experiment was disastrous. Pbiladel-
phia should have more hotel accommo-
dalton, but capital will hardly spend
the sums necessary to build proper
hotels merely for the profits Of single
exceptionally busy season.
Another plan is the running of swift
trains from New York to Philadelphia.
Col. Scott has demonstrated that he
can take passengers from Jersey City
to toe Centennial grounds in less than
two hours. By this means a visitor
could leave his hotel in New York at
balf-past seven, be in Philadelphia at
ten, and, leaving there at five, be home
again for a late dinner. Still four
hours, or practically five hours daily
travel over railroads Is a large price to
pay even fOl the benefit of seeing the
Centennial Exhibition. One of the
dangers is that the hotel proprietors of
Philadelphia Will advance their prices
largely. This will remedy itself, as it
did IN Vienna, where the result of the
sudden advance was to drive everybody
out of the city and paralyze the Exhi-
bitiOn, and hotel keepers went about on
their knees offering rooms for any
price. The Philadelphia Press has
taken pains to inquire of the hotel pro-
prietOrs what they propose to do IN
the way of advancing their rates.
They satisfied the editor of that
journal that "the visitors viii be treated
by the hotel landlords Hospitality, gen.
srously and fairly" and that "where
the limits of from fifty cents to a dol
lar q day, according to the house " 1t
is not pleasant to find hotel-keepers
proposing even to make this advance
on their ordinary rates. 1t would be
much better, even for their own bust.
ness interests, if the hotei-keepers
would announce that, during the Cen
tennial, they would take guests at a de-
crease Of fifty cents or a dollar a day.
There Is no reason that we can see in
any Of the publications in the Phila-
delphia papers for such an advance.
Increased business will be increased
gam. Because a hotel has five hun
bred guests where it has been strug-
Cling along with fifty or one hundred,
there is no reason for asking a dollar
extra a day. 1t Is not demanded by the
exigencies Of the business. 1t will be
regarded as an ayaricious grasping for
profit and an attempt to utilize a great
national event for their own gain.
