Extraordinary Matrimonial Hoax.

Not long since youth of the mature
age of forty-one years inserted in Dun
dee (ScOtland) paper the following ad-
vertisement:
A workingman, of independent income,
wishes to correspond with young woman
with a view to the above.
The above" was not more particularly
specified, but the bait took, and young
woman" signing herself Agnes" and dat
ing from Unioh-street, Hamilton, init
mated her willingness to become the de-
sired correspondent. An endearing let
ter was received in response, the writer
dating from Union-street, Cupar-Fife;
and cartes were passed and several more
letters. 1t was finally arranged that the
swain was to come to Hamilton, travel
ing by the 1870 train from Glasgow. The
fair one was to make herself known by
holding out a white handkerchief, and
"Johh" was to speak first. Displaying
a certain amount of Fife caution, John
arrived several hours before the stipu-
lated time, and improved the flying mo-
ments by making inquiries regarding his
Agnes, though, of course, fruitlessly.
Some time after the arrival of the train
he was to have travelled by he was seen
hanging about the station, and soon aft
erward buxom young female made up
to him and made to shake hands, re-
marking, "ls that you, John?" The pair
were soon at home with each other, and
they left together, John under the i'm
preston that he was to be taken to Agnes
aunt's house in the neighborhood In
stead, she took him along the Wellhall-
road. First couple of young fellows,
and then number more, came unexpect-
edly on the scene. The unsuspecting
swain had fallen into trap. Before he
could offer any resistance he was seized
hold of, laid on the ground, and tied with
arope. Thus fastened he was at the mer-
cy of his tormentors, who, with a brush,
set to and besmeared the poor man all
over with treacle-he had said in his let
tiers he was grocer Not content with
this, they undid his vest and poured in
side the contents of bottle filled with
the same saccharine substance. They
then tethered their victim to the hedge
and decamped. In this sad plight he
was shortly afterward found and set
at liberty by two passers-by. Others
came on the scene; and after going to the
nearest public house, they, goOd-Samari-
tan-like, ordered refreshments, and sub
scribed as much as took the rejected one
back from whence he cane Latterly
the police got word of the proceedings,
and it is quite possible the jokers may
yet have to pay pretty sweetly for their
whistle.

How Sumter Might Have Been silsnCed.

1t is pertinent for me, professionally,
to remark that, had the Federal naval at
tack on Fort Sumter of the 9th of April,
1868, been made at night, while the feet
could have easily approached near
enough to see the fort-a large, lofty OBJ
ject covering several acres-the moni-
tors which were relatively so small and
low ON the water, could not have been
seen from the fort. 1t would have been
impossible, therefore, for the latter to
have returned with any accuracy the fire
of the fleet, and this plan of attack could
have been repeated every night until the
walls of the fort should have crumbled
under the enormous missiles which made
holes two and half feet deep in the
walls, and shattered the latter in an
alarming manner. l could not then
have repaired during the day the dam
ages of the night, and I am confident
now, as was then, that Fort Sumter, il
thus attacked, must have been disabled
and silenced in few days. Such re-
suit at such time would have been nee.
essarily followed by the evacuation Of
Morris and Sullivan's Islands, and, soon
after, of Charleston itself, for had not
yet had time to complete and arm the
system of works, including James Island
and the inner harbor, which enabled us
six months later to bid defiance to Ad-
miral DahlgTen's powerful fleet and Gill
more's strong land forces. Gen. @, T..

Four Strange Girls.

1t will be a small drop of consolation
to the thousands of honest housewives
who look upon servant girls as nuisances
to learn that there are four working girls
in the city of Detroit whose plans and
deeds are worthy of public mention.
One of them, the oldest, came to this
country from England about seven
years ago. She was followed after
time by second and a third and
fourth, and during the last three years
the four have held places in families in the
same neighborhood. Each one began
saving money from the first. They have
made every effort to please the families
employing them, and have consequently
been paid extra wages. Every garment
purchased by them has been for comfort
and long wear, instead of for show and
style. Two of them have never seen the
City Hall, though living in the city near
ly three years. None of them have vet
had beau or had occasion to go to the
stores in the evening, Each one can
sew, patch, darn, put up fruit, make
preserves, cook any dish, tack down
carpet, put up stove, harness horse,
make her own clothes and trim her own
hat. Each one has bank account, and
for several years past all have had an
object in view. That object is now al
most accomplished. A few weeks ago
they united their savings and purchased
lot in the northern part of the city,
4Ox190 in size. They then contracted
with a builder for cottage, which was
ready for occupancy only two or three
days ago. The eldest sister then gave
up her situation and moved in. The
furniture was bought here and there,
where cash would secure bargain, and
is good, if not snowy. Many little things
we're contributed by friends, and the
little home is as neat as pin.
The eldest sister will now become a
laundress, having already more work of
that kind than she can do in four days of
the week. She will keep house, and be
mother to and make home for the
rest All own a share, and if sickness
comes to one of the three still acting as
servants, she has place to go to
and some one to care for her. They will
be planting trees, setting out vines and
planning improvements as the weeks go
by, each good-naturedly striving to do
more than the other, and the little home
will keep their hearts pure and their
minds free from giddy thoughts. Each
Sabbath day they will gather there to
feel that it is home, and to visit with and
advise each other, and letters from
father and mother across the wide ocean
will be opened and read again and again
through fearful eyes. Are there four
other such girls in all this landS- Detroit
