A Romantic Wedding Ceremony.

The steamship La Place yesterday
landed at Castle Garden Master Antoine
Lepporase, an italian, aged 10, who could
not speak a word of English, and Catha.
rine Aligon, aged 10, French girl, who
could speak only French and English.
During the voyage Lepporase fell vlo-
lently in love with Catharine, but he
could not make his passion known to her
except by his looks. He had plenty Of
money and she was poor, and with much
art the Italian managed to let Catharine
know what good speculation she would
make by receiving his advances. She re-
sponded afterward. When the pair
reached Castle Garden they made known
to Interpreter Mcpherson their woes and
wishes. Lepporase told Mcpherson that
if he was delayed another day in his de-
termination of marrying Catherine he
should go mad, insisted that the cefe'
mony should be Immediately performed,
and demonstrated his financial ability to
care for bride. Catharine being will
ing, the pair were taken before Rev, Mr.
Berkmeyer, but he refused to marry them
They were then taken before Justice
Murray. He consented to join them:
Mr.. Mcpherson acted as interpreter, ana
Mr. Charles Washburn gave the bride
away. She looked pretty, and cried SUI
fciently to make herself very interesting

Editor and Proprietor
Edna's Answer.

Yes | lid say when YOU whispered
Words of love So sweet and low,
oComo to me upon the morrow
Aud answer yes or no:'
Now you've come, you're bending ocr me-
Swearing too by heaven above,
That the one to whom you're pleading
Is your first and only love.
Rollin Howard, you've deceived me,
You have played the towards part
You must so, trust no longer
He who trihes with my heart
Just an hour ago listened
While maiden, bowed with shame,
Told story fraught with sorrow,
Told me of furnished name,
Told how lured by ones sweet pleadinGs'
Left her sunny southern home;
Now forsaken, hopes all scattered,
She is left alone to roam.
Standing there, her dark eyes nashinG'
Anger stamped upon her face
With her arm appraised to heaven
You she cursed and all yor race.
Think you now III trust my future
Unto YOU? no, never! Then
This my answer to your question:
"lYe must aeuer NEE: again"
Vile deceiyerl base imposter!
Leave me, ere like one who hurled
Curses on thy head, too show
Thy true colors to the world

White and Yellow Corn.

Mr. j. Averill, of Paw-Paw, Mich,
asks: "What is the relative value of
white and yellow corn for feeding pur.
poses, and especially for the iattenng of
porkl' am sure do not know, and
do not know any one who does know so
fully that we can accept his knowledge
with entire confidence that he is correct !;
and for the reason, in the first place, that
we have no accurate analyses of Indian
corn to the extent necessary to enable us
to decide whether white or yellow corn
contains the greatest amount of fattening
or carbonaceous substances. In the Sec
ond place, no doubt that soil, situation,
climate and latitude affect Indian corn,
as they are known to do wheat, and In.
dian corn, like wheat, would be pretty
sure to take up more mineral matters
from the soil, aud more nitrogenous ones
from the soil and atmosphere together,
on strong, rich land, and under a long,
warm, summer climate, than on poor
soil, in short, cool summer. We know
most Southern corn absOrbs more water
in cooking than Northern corn, makes
better bread, and, if we accept the &C.
counts of travellers as facts, we know
the national tortillds of the Mexicans to
be made of Indian corn solely, and, af-
ter being baked, to be tough and leath.
cry, as buckwheat cakes are. So far as
Illinois is concerned nine. tenths of all
the corn grown is of the yellow varieties,
the preference for white corn being con-
fined to the southern part of the State;
but those eaters of corn bread having
Southern antecedents are sure to choose
white corn meal, as those OF Eastern are
quite as sure to select yellow meal for
culinary purposes. If our information
is correct the larger share of the corn
grown in the South is of the white vari-
eties, the white ones only being used for
bread, as the yellow ones are cultivated
and preferred in the North. Generally
speaking, then, on these grounds. | think
it may be safely assumed that Northern
corn contains most oil or starch and
Southern corn most mineral or albumi-
nous matter; that the former will pro.
duce the largest increase of adipose mat.
ter in the shortest time, and the latter
will increase the size of tie bones and

TEMPLES OF THE ANcIENTs.-In the
temples of the anCients, they often sus
pend curtain before the statute of the
divinity, during the time when they
were not sacrificing. In the temple of
Jupiter, at Olympia, there was curtain
of extreme value, beautifully woven with
wood, after the manner of the Assyrians,
and dyed with the Tyrian purple, which
was presented to the temple by Anti
ochus. When they would discover the
sacred statue to the eyes of the adoring
crowds that assembled within the walls
of the temple, the curtain was lowered,
as in the temple of Jupiter, at Olympia,
or raised as in that of Diana, at Ephesus.
Stuart, in his Antiquities of Athens,
thinks that the ancient veil of the tem
pie was for the purpose of covering the
centre part of the hyp@thros, which was
unroofed. This sort of curtain differs
from the UeIarium of the Romans, that
was used in their theatres and am mphi.

ExRRcIsE FOR FowLs-The Poultry
Herald thinks that confined chickens
should have exercise and amusement, and
says Gas often as once week through
the hot months of June and July it will
be found good plan to dig over and
turn up the soil, spade deep, in the earth
floors Of your fowl houses, as well as
through the runs about the outside of the
poultry quarters.
"This easy process affords means for
exercise again for the birds that are lin
tied to contracted space. A great num-
ber of worms, grubs, &c, are thus
brought to the surface, which the hens
and chicks will devour greedily, and
they will scratch for these vigorously.
"This method, if followed up three or
four times a month, will clean the prem

healthier for the stock to wander over
Before the earth is thus loosened and

You came to this city Aug. 22d, sixty-one

On Wednesday afternoon, Fritz Jahreis,
OF Brooklyn, called upon Miss Hellwig Vel
ter, to whom he was engaged to be married.
at her suggestion they went out walking,
and as soon as they left the house Miss Vel
ter informed Jahreis that she had been mar
ried the evening before to Vii lam Hauss, to
whom she had peen betrothed before making
his acquaintance, and who had returned un-
expectedly on Monday from the west, where
he had been for two years. Jahreis became
angry and scolded Mrs. Hauss. She sug-
gested that they should go into lager-beer
saloon, which they did, and then Mrs. Hauss
left Jahreis for a few moments. On re-
turning she asked for glass Of beer, and
alter some moro conversation drank the
beer and then appeared to be sorry she had
done SO. Jahreis looked, not at the express
sion of dis ay on Mrs. Hauss' face, but at
her glass, which was empty with the excep
ton of power which lined the sides and Law
like sediment at the bottom. He asked
her what that was, or if the beer was bad.
Mis-. Hauss replied that it was paris green,
poison, and added that she was sorry she
had treated him badly, and that she wished
to end her existence, which had become
miserable. Jahreis took Mrs. Hauss hem,
had her put to bed, and DR.. Hager admlnis-
tered antidotes. Mrs. Hauss at first did not
appear to suffer much from the effects of the
p lson. She said she did not mean to take
enough OF the powder to kill herself, but
only wanted to get rid of Jahreis. Yester-
day, however, she grew worse, and died in
the evening. Coroner Nolan was notified to
hold an inquest.
Her sister says that Mrs. Hauss became
engaged to Hauss two years ago, and that the
latter went West to earn money enough to
marry on. Although they corresponded
regularly, Miss Velter was attracted by
Jahreis, and became engaged to him. Sew

very handsome and costly articles. On en-

sweet wares, let him turn right about and
cross the room to where Miss Prince pre-
sides over the hardware and tin store, per-
haps turn of fortunes wheel will make
him the happy possessor of a goose
or dat-iron, dipper or dust pan, a gridiron
or grindstone. Adjoining Mrs. Casserly's
tempting table is the stand of the Young La.
dies Sodality, presided over by Misses Kate
Grogan, Annie Rowlin and Mary Melady.
The principal features of this section are a
handsome easy chair and an elegant and
stylish dressing. gown, the latter made by
Miss Kate Grogan. The ever popular ssfish
