The other day at the. M1rblehead

LORD VAUDEVILLE, heir apparent TO
the title and possessions of his father,
the sixth Dukeof Manchester, was mar
ried in Grace Church, New York, last
week, to Miss ~Consuelo, daughter of
Senior Antonio Yznaga del Vale, Of
Orange, New Jersey, a rich Cuban mer-
chant. His lordship's veins are filed
with theibest of English blood. He has
a brilliant pedigree, is unassuming,
and is gentlemanly. He is not yet %
years of age. He has seen much of the
world, is familiar with the European
Continent, and is an enthusiastic adj
mirer of America.
AN interesting instance of intelligent
discrimination in the administrator oE
Justice is cited in dispatch from
Springfield, Mass. A young married
woman son trial for larceny pleaded
guilty on four indictments, and vet was
acquitted and liberated, while her hus-
band, who was only charged with hav-
ing received the stolen property, was
given ten years in the State Prison.
The explanation of the matter is SIM
ple-the Court ascertained that the man
was professional thief, who had used
his young wife as tool
SOME. San Francisco people propose
to charter two or more clipper ships,
and offer strong inducements in the way
of low fare, or no fare at all, to the Chi
nese, male and female, to return to Chi
ma. The weather. Chinese are expect
ed to give from 500 to 81, 800 per per-
son or firm toward the fund. It is
claimed that there are many thousands
of Chinese, both in tho city and the
state, who find but little opportunity of
bettering their condition, and that
when this offer is made to this particu-
lar class, there will be an exodus of at
least O,0OO persons, male and female.
WoMAN's pluck receives a notable
illustration in the case of a Holyoke
Massachusetts, widow. Her husband
had been sick two years and had died,
leaving her with two children and a
debt of $500. She went TO work in a
mill and never lost day. Besides do
ing her weeks work she took in wash
ing for two families. Her children she
placed fl school, and has paid their ex-
penses, receiving no help from any one
By honest hard work she paid of the
debt of $500, and, besides supporting
and educating two children, has put by
800 against time of need. 1.-
A FEW days ago, says the Mayfeld
(ky.) Monitor, MIR. James Crow, near
Benton, discovered that something allied
his youngest child, and upon examina-
ton small lump was discovered near
the shoulder-blade, which appeared
tender, and, not being able to determine
the caIse, he carried the child to DIR.
Smith, at Benton, who made an incision
with his lance, and as the lance entered
the flesh he discovered that it touched
n hard substance, and upon introducing
a fOrcep he drew out of the wound a
darning-needle; which the child had I'M
doubtedly swallowed. Mr.. Crow told
us that 1t Is supposed the child swal-
lowed the needle some time last Octo-
Der, as his wife recolleuts that the chill
dren had the same needle in their hands
for the purposeo picking out some wal.
nut Kernels, and it not having been seen
since, supposes that they let the child
have it, and it must have swallowed it.
A CHURCHMAN writes to the London
Times InGuiring whether the Queens
new Tile OF Empress of India is to be
useG in the prayer-book. Mr.. Disrael
has promised that it shall not be used
IN state papers whose operation is con.
lined to Great Britain and Ireland, but
rs the prayer-book circulates at home
and abroad, and the printing of two di
verse editions would be an alarming in.
novation, the correspondent wants tC
know what the Government proposes &c
do about it. In this connection, it il
worth noticing that President Grant, SC
far as known, was the first head of q for
eign nation to employ the new title il
an official manner. This he did at ;
dinner in Philadelphia, when he pro
