Here the lash is used even upon the women.
The negro is the practical tobacconist OF
the South, and by the sweat OF his brow
and his cultivated, educated fingers you
owe the luxury you so much enjoy. The
wealth which comes from its manufacture
never finds its way into his pocket, and
should he deny himself, save a penny, and
go into the tobacco business, he is not
permitted by the white man to enter
the Tobacco Exchange and d OF ;E.eourse

cheaper to: the tobaccOnist than 1t was
before the war. Most factories close

see at whom this, is aimed; and we have

In this town on Monday morning,
July 81, 1876, JAMES W. ORSBORN
in the 3Sth year of his age.
The deceased was a native of Ra
pides, and was a man Of good and
rare traits, and at all times here pos
sessed the esteem of bis fellow-citi-
zens. He has filed the positions of
Councilman and Mayor of our Town
at various times, and Of him as an
official it can be truthfully said, he
did his duty faithfully and impartial
ly. For over ten years he has been
one of our leading and most reliable
merchants and in that peculiar
sphere Of his life acted we'll and hon
estly his part. He has long been
suffering and lingering with the NAL
ady, which has stricken him down
IN the nush OF useful manhood, and
now an aged mother and brothers,
with hundreds of sympathizing
friends mourn his loss and revere his
memory
He was an exempt Member of Pa
ci6c Fire Co, had been for many
years their President, and his old
comrades, with those of Stonewall
Hook and Ladder Co. No. l., the
Mayor and Councilmen, attended his
funeral in body, and thus paid
their last tribute of respect to a good
man.

Marriage In High Life.
June rs, 1873.

There is nothing with which the outer
world has 80 little to do as q mans mar
riage, and yet there is nothing about
which it concerns itself 40 much. Every
one thinks himself or herself entitled to
cit in Judgment upon the suita bleness
Of a matrimonial match, especially in
aristscratic circles where birth and tor
tune are in question. Thus it was a
disappointment to the blood royal that
the Duke Of Cambridge did not a.arry
German princess, and it is a sore sub.
ject with The Queens sons that their
sister Louise should have married a
maIqnis. Lord Lorne is terribly snub-
bed by the lot.
The Prince of Teck, who married the
Princess Mary of CambrM e, likewise
isa source of trouble; for being hand
some fellow, he is liable to allurcments
whichdisturh ceningal felicity. Prince
Christian, who has married another of
the Queens daughters, is regarded as
a questionable character, because he
had previously contracted a a,urganatic
marriage; aud the Duke Of Edinburgh
is "bothered intirely" on account of
the rauk of his wife, who, as the daugh-
ter of an Emperor, is a stickler for pre-
cedence at court. The Prince ofWales
is very happily married, but he had
some narrow escapes of being led into
immoral and Illegal connections. When
in America he was SO much taken with
the beauty Of the fair Columbians with
whoa he danced at Boston and New
York, that it was expected he would
have proposed matrimonial alliance
with one of the fairest. 1t was argued
that, on the grounds of equality, there
could be an obstacle, inasmuch as the
Presidency Of the Republic was the her
itage Of every native-born American;
and when the Duke of Newcastle or
Gen. Bruce, under whose tuteiage the
Prince came to the United States, laugh.
ingly limited at the possibility of his
Royal Highness connecting the crown
Of England with family at the White
House, the Prince answered, 81 should
have no objection politically to such
an alliance if the lady's father shonld
continue to be President during his life
time; bat there is no guarantee that a
'feller' who is ruler of millions to-day
may not drop down to the suap-boiler's
line to-morrow."-[The Galaxy.
