HAMPTON IN A TRYING HoUR-Gov.
Hampton's son Preston was the young
er OF two brothers. He was not twenty
years of age when he fell during a Sc
we're engagement that occurred in Oc-
tober, 1864, about 25 miles northwest
Of Petersburg, Va.,. where his fathers
command was covering the right wing
of Gen. Lees Army. At the time, Doth
of Gen. Hampton's sons were acting as
his aids, and when young Preston fell,
the father galloped recklessly to the
spot, followed by his acknowledgement,
Major Baker, and Wade Hampton, Jr.
Both of the last named were severely
wounded while Gen. Hampton was lift
ing the dead body of his boy from the
ground. Judge Wafford of Kansas
City says be witnessed the scene, and
saw General Hampton carrying the dead
body Of bis son on the horse before
him

How THE WOMEN VoTED.-Describ-
ing an election for school trustees in
Denver, Colorado, on the 18th ult, the
News of that city says: "Three hun
dred and twenty-thrce votes were cast
by women, and some laughable Incl
dents occurred during the day. The
married ladies almost invariably gave
their husbands initials, and one ofthem
wanted to vote for her husband, who
couldn't come, she said. Several ladies',
in giving in their names, added very
earnestly that they didn't want them 10
go into the papers. Only one vote
was challenged-tbat Of a young miss
of eighteen, who knew she was old
enough to marry, and thought she was
old enough 10 vote"

FISHING AND MArRIMoNY.-Beyond
the fact tuat young ladies occasionally
fish, or are alleged TO fish, for husbands,
there would at first sight appear to be
but little connection between fishing
and matrimony. But in some parts OF
Scotland the herring season is equlVa-
lent to the London season as regards
matrimonial prospects. II the season is
a dull Que, weddings are rev in number I,
whereas when the season is brIllian 1t
young couples "pair off, with compara-
tive briskness. This year the failure in
the herring fishery has had, it is stated,
very depressing effect upon the matr'-
mOnial market at nearly all the fishing
stations. The decrease in the marriages
in the three months ending September
30 last is very considerable. In the
Island OF Lewis, with upward Of twenty
five thousand lnnabitant', there were
only two marriages, and in Wick, with
population ot $4,000, the NUMBER OF
marriages was only tnirteen, being rath-
er more than half the usual Total. Over
the whole OF Ross and Cromarty, with
about eighty-tnree thousand innabit-
ants, there were only thirty marriages.
The fishermen, in snort, seem to b. dis
playing the same kind of witness as

for the church.
The bride wears silver crown (usu-
ally an heirloom in her family) very
elaborately wroughtand hung all around
with small gilt disks; her linen is
clasped in the throat by large silver
brooch OF curious workmanship, and her
bosom adorned with other ornaments OF
the same metal. In the ljord districts
the company proceed to the church in
boats; while in the interior parishes the
bride and groom head the procession on
horseback.
At the church door, the master of cere-
monies greets them with well-prepared
speech, and as soon as they return to
the bridal house as man and wife, the
merrlment breaks out in real earnest.
Formerly brawls, and even bloody fights
were OF no rare occurrence on such oc-
casions; and 1t is even told that iu the
last century, wives were Ill the habit OF
bringing shrouds for their husbands In
their baudboXes, counting the chances
of their being killed as, on the whole,
predominating.
Now, however, the nineteenth century
has made sad havoc among the primitive
customs and tastes or the Norsemen; /;
and mans chances Of getting killed
are, believe, smaller in Norway than
almost anywhere else on the globe

Real cannibals have been discovered
by missionaries on the Islands OF New
Britain and New Ireland, of the north
east coast Of New Guinea. These ma
tives are nude savages OF the Oriental
negro type, who live more like beasts
than human beings. The Rev. George
Brown, a Wesleyan missionary, reports
that he saw women roasting the leg and
thigh OF a man who had been killed in a
night. In another hut smoke-lried hu-
man flesh was hanging. In another he
counted thirty five Jaw0ones of men and
women. CanniDaIism seemed to be
common throughout the islands, not as
religious riLe, but as an ordinary
means OF subsistence. The natives as
sured the missionary that the accounts
heretofore published of race of tailed
human beings were true, and were cer-
Tain that these strange creatures were
not monkeys.

SHOTT VERSUS STITCH.
War in the Coromer's Office

A spirit of dissension has broken out
at the CoroneI's Office between the pres
ent incumbent, Dr., Stich, and b. Shott,
the late clerk OF Ex-COroner Maiey, an d
is raging in full blast.
Last evening the bellgerent feeling OF
that clerk broke forth in taking posses
sion of the keys and threatening the
janitor with expulsion, because he re-
fused to inform him, as 1t is alleged, oil
the wereabouts of a "stiff' ON which an
inquest was to be held.
The matter was finally amicably set
tied by the appearance of DR.. Stich. The
clerk, however, refused to give up the
keys, and walked away with them in
triumph.
Tnis morning the office was opened by
means OF. another key, which the CorO-
ner had i'll his possession.
The affair seems 10 have turned into a
war to the knife.
Shott appeared at the Office of the Cor
oner, but refused TO give up the key,
saying that he had the sole right to its
possession.
The end is not yet.
