The various Kinds Of weddings.


At the end of the first year comes the
cotton wedding; at two years comes the
paper; at three, the feather; at the close
Of FIVE comes the wooden; at the seventh
anniversary the friends assemble OF the
wooller, and at ten comes the tin. At
twelve years the silk and fine linen; at
fifteen the. crystal wedding AT twenty
the friends gather with their china,
and at twenty-five the married couple
that have been true to their VOWS for a
quarter Of a century are rewarded with
silver gifts. From this time forward the
tokens of esteem become rapidly more
valuable. When the thirtieth anniver.
sary is reached they are presented with
pearls; at the fortieth come the rubies;
and at the fftieth occurs the glorious
golden wedding. Beyond hat time the
aged couple are allowed to enjoy their
many gifts in peace. II, however, by
any, possibility they should reach the
seventy fifth anniversary, they are pre-
scented With the rarest gifts to be OBJ
tanned, at the celebration of their dia.

GOODS
Seized upon q Provisional Warrant
Of New CredItors-TWO Mem.
pills Firms and Other
Parties Implicated In
the Proceedings.

Judge Trigg of the United States Court
this morning, on application of New
York cridtors through their attorneys,
Messrs. Patterson, CAN'T & Lowe,
granted q provisional warrant directing
the marshal to seize the goods Of Morris
Fuld, who lately made an assignment
and is now under arrest. 1t will be re-
membered that shortly after III. Fuld
aud julius Behr & Solomon Hesse
made assignments, they we're arrested
at the instance OF divers Eastern credi-
tors, who charge that they fraudu lently,
and with intent to deceive, dispole ed Of
their goods, etc. About SIC, 0Oo worth
of goods belonging to Fuld, aud Behr &
Hesse have been seized. and will await
an investigation by the courts, Some Of
these goods were found and seized ia this
city, but it is said hat large quantities
we're shipped from here to other places,
there to be disposed Of without the
knowledge of the creditors Of the parties
now under arrest. The largest amount
Of Julius Behr & Solomon Hesse's
goods, embracing twenty cases, were
found in St. Louis, where they had been
recently received by shipment frem Mem.
phis. 1t appears that some of the goods
Of M. Fuld were shipped to Helena, Ark.
and Lexington aud Durant, Miss. The
amount Of goods seized in Memphis is
not neal halt as great as those found in
other places. The warrant on which the
parties we're arrested is baHed on sec
ton No. 5l32 Of the bankrupt law,
which, among other things, provides
that any person, against whom proceed
ings in bankruptcy are commenced,
either voluntary or involuntary, shall
]secrete any property belonging to his
estate, said person shall be imprisoned,
with or without hard labor, for three
years. We know nothing as to the guilt
of Mr.. Fuld or the other parties who
have been doing business in Memphis,
but it is probable that their creditors are
taking the most rigid measures, aud will
exert all their power to prosecute
them in the courts. In this con.
nec.io2 we hear that other parties
are suspected of CO. operating with
them in the alleged fraudulent dis.
position of goods. tits likely, therefore,
that other arrests will be made, though
the officers and attorneys are silent upon
the entire subject, and are unwilling Il
give any information as such nigh
thwart their plans. According to q pro
vision of the bankrupt law any person
who assists or co.operates in the fraudu
, lent disposition OF property is guilt!

TOO Late.

1t is amusing to see the Press of

lent or full of applause for the Leg
islature, now in a perfect fury over
the result. 1t was all rose and sun
shine two months since, and we fell
lows who dared question the ponder
GUS wisdom of the piddlcrs just adj
journed, were denounced as violent,
clamorous, bowling outs, who wanted
to get in.
This failure, gentlemen, is all your
own-you have failed, and that sig
nally, but you must bear it with, We
hope, that stoicism with which you
disregarded the appeals of the people
The Democratic party repudiates yor

retire to that scclusion which, howev

hope it may be deep, your conduc

The Last Fire Company.

During the early Winter our city was
visited by several disastrous fires, and
for a month or so alarms were almost
incessant. Our young men, ever patriot
ic, responded to the public demand and
organized a Fire Department. They
had every assurance of assistance and
support from the city authorities and
property owners. Last Wednesday even
ing the "Department' met and dissolved
for want of support from either the pro-
perty owners or the city, or both.
Comment is hardly necessary; but we
would remark, that the property owner
is the only persons interested in main
tanning Fire Company-his buildings
are to be protected, and he should be
willing to pay for it. 1t seems that dead
apathy has taken hold of nearly every
man in this town, and the whole place i:
to all appearance playing Macauber-
"waiting for something to turn up." w
sincerely hope it won't be big fire,

Public Men-Public Morals.

We want no better evidence OF the
depravity of our public morals-the
decentralization of our public men
the degradation of our public press
than the "yote of confidence" to
Speaker Bush, in the shape of eight
dollars per day ertfo my by the
Louisiana Legislature the other day
Heretofore, in ye olden time, when
men were giants in intellect and vir-
tue, a vote of confidence was a vote
of thanks, which, emanatin from
pure and honorable men, was esteem
ed beyond all worth, was valued be-
yond dollars. In those days "eigbt
dollars a day" offered as a token of
esteem, of confidence, would have
been rejected with scorn as an insult
to the honor of the presiding officer.
To-day, how changed! lnsidious
Radicalism has Slapped the foundations
of our public morals-we measure
virtue by dollars, and the degrading
spectacle is presented of Demo
cratic Legislature voting eight dol
lars q day extra pay as a token Of
esteem and confidence, and the pre-
siding officer accepting the "esteem'
but declining the money. Accepting
it too, with feelings of heartfelt
pride, &c." when he should have re-
jected both the money and the man
ner with scorn and indignant utter
ance as an insult to his personal homo
and the position he occupied. And tn
press of New Orleans was full o
warm congratulations to Speake
Bush and the legislature for thi
! honorable interchange Of courtesies

"Vice is monster of so frightful mien,
As to be hated needs bnt to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
