VICTORIA AND TENNIE.
More Bonds Uniting America and
England-Tennie and Vicky
Marrying into the British
Aristocracy.

A London friend sends to the
Boston Post the following interest
ing account of two unique American
characters:
"These ladies, so well known
throughout the United States, are
now permanently settled in London,
residing in the aristocratic quarter
of South Kensington, at At Empe-
ror's Gate. 1t is a large and i'm
posing edifice of stone, four stories
high, richly furnished, and with
them at present reside their father,
mother, Mrs. WoodhulPs only
daughter, and recently an elder sis
ter has joined them fiom, America.
FAnd Isuppose am first to publish
to the world what 1 am assured is a
fact, and / think it will astonish
che reading community and their
personal friends, from New York to
Texas, that in a short time they will
be the wives of two of the leading
members of the British aristocracv.
And how, says the skeptic, has this
wonderful and romantic change in
their conditions taken place? Lis.
ten and L will tell you. Between
two and three years ago Mrs.
Woodruff landed in England to fill
an engagement to lecture for forty
nights, commencing at st. James
Hall in London. Broken down in
health and spirits, she, however,
managed to give several perform
ances, but on the last and tenth
night her physicians told her she
must discontinue, for her. health |
was not equal to the task; but the |
fact is, the principal cause of this
sudden termination of her engage
ment was, that the lady had the
good fortune to capture a gentle
man of noble birth and of wealth,
whose name, titles and estates she
soon will share. And shortly the
marriage bells of the fashionable
church near by will ring out their
merry peal, and the Court Journal
chronicles among its "uprer ten
the names of these two
ladies' with gentlemen of title and
wealth. Surely this is a bit of good
luck, for after the varied and not
altogether pleasant experiences of
former years, to come here, to the
oldest, most exclusive, reserved and
aristocratic city of the world, and
obtain such position in social life
Is really one of the marvels of the
lime. The sparkling and vivacious
Miss Tennie G. Chafin, they inform
ne, has been equally successful in
,he matrimonial line, for she has
likewise captured a title ard a for
June, and so what Mrs. Woodruff
'nce gave as an opinion will shortly

ionate husband, who will protect

Somebody in London is writing a new
life of Richard, better known az Beau
Nash, the once noted dandy OF the last
century. Goldsmith wrote bis biography,
which was published anonymously,
though it has been included in Peter
Cunningham's (London) edition OF his
works. Nash was a great ded better

he was very generous with the money he
had won. IL is related that often, when

former exhibition of the Associa-

one, with some exceptions, and am
sorry to be compelled to add, some
very important ones. The most
notable one was the absence OF the
majestic Shorthorn cattle. There
was but three of these animals on
the ground, and only one of these
was put in the ring.
This speaks badly for our Short
horn breeders, for our county has a
number of breeders of this noted
breed of cattle of the most popular
families. 1 myself can name as
many as ten registered bulls in the

PRINTERS INK IS KING.

There is host of men who boast
Of powder, cotton, steam,
But every hour the mighty power
Of printers mix is seen,
1t moves the world as easily
As does some mighty thing,
And men proclaim in despot's ears
That printers ink is king.
The men of gold. Of wealth untold,
Printers ink may scorn,
Or knit his brow, nor deign to bow,
To one 80 lowly born;
But printers ink has built its throne
Where mind its tributes bring,
And Gods most gifted intellects
Shout printers ink is kingl
King OF the world Of thought refined
No abject slave in chains,
Where superstition victims pinned,
1t burst their servile chains,
In every cline, in coming years,
viii men proud anthems ring;
And round the world the echoes float,

last scattered IN defeat, they will re
turn to their reservations to become
good Indians, and will draw the
loaves as though they had never
left camps. The tame Indians won't
betray them either. However much
the tribe may suffer from the acts
of one, they will bear it all rather
than betray him. This Is because
there is a common hostility among
them all towards the whites. They
do not understand that the land be-
longs to those who will work it to
procure food and feed the world
They think because they happened
to live there first it must be kept
for their game and to support their
laziness. God never intended the
glorious universe should be.so pros
.tituted. He commanded the land
to be titled for the benefit of all,
The Indians rebel against this as
against every law of civilization.
The policy of the government to-
wards the Indians may well be quess
.tioned. They have set aside 4im-'
mense territories for the Indians to,
live in. They, in addition to. this,
establish agencies where the Indians
congregate and draw rations as if
they were in the government EN-
ployment. Here the Indians resort
at regular intervals and squat about
on the ground until the rations are
distributed, when they hold a grand
feast eating, and wasting all the.
provisions intended to last a quar-
ter in few days, and then they
roam and plumber until the next
time comes around, and so they
live on year after year with no hope
of the future, no promise of i'm
provement. Why don't the gov
eminent do the same for the blacks, |
or for the poorer classes of whites?
There is as much reason and justice |
in the one as the other. 1t would |
be better if they were distributed |
among the older States and so
mixed up with the peaceable whites
that their children might be taught |
and the older ones forced to work.
In this way they could in time be
taught peace and it's advantages,
and SO in time become useful citi
zens instead of murderous Williams.

The Indians,

There are many tender-hearted
people who look at the Indians
through the medium of spectac,es
manufactured by Couper, who paint
ed him IN such attractive colors and
Copper who said, ~'Lo, the poor In
dian!' signing for his wigwam and
the wild red deer. They suppose
they are true to their loves and
hospitable to the stranger. We
know very well that the Indians are
not treated in the justest manner.
We know contractors and traders
abuse their trust in a disgraceful
manner. But the savage is not that
tender piece of romance that many
suppose. They are unsophisticated
it is true, but only in goodness.
Their instincts are like all humanity
untrammelled, and unInhuenced by
civilization and religion. Man,
white, red or black, left to himself,
only seeks to indulge the passions,
and they become more or less vile
according to the opportunities they
possess. The Indians are no ex-
ception to the rule. They will fight
when they have the advantage; they
will murder when they can do so
unrevenged. The only law they re-
spect is the law of force, and the
only respect they have for the
whites is their strength. Among
such a people, with the means OF
life so meagre, there are of necessi-
ty many bad ones. These band to-
gether and are called stragglers.
They belong to no particular nation
or tribe. If one band gets into a
light all who hear of it, for the love
of deviltry, go to them and swell
their ranks. The band takes the
name of the tribe to which the chief
in command belongs. Thus the
Indians fighting Payne are called
Utes because two or three chiefs in
are 'Utes. But the bands
are made up of the stragglers all
over the plains. When they are att

Scene In a Paris Court.

the Assize Court the other day, on the

The Result In ohio.

AS we surmised, and, indeed, pre-
dicted yesterday, the result il
Ohio is disastrous to the Demo
Gratis. Readers of the Courier
Journal will not be taken by sur
prise, therefore, for, without sur
rendering the battle before actua
defeat, we have prepared them foi
what was from the first really inevi
table. The odds were boo great foI
us. We might have beaten Foster
or even Sherman. But we could
not beat the Government.
The result ought TO satisfy Demo-
Gratis of the folly Of financial equiv
ocation. 1t shows conclusively
that the "Ohio idea" so called, is,
and has always been, delusion and
a snare. Ewing was its strongest
expression; Thurman its most re-
spectacle advocate. Both are re
tired. One is beaten for Governor,
and the other loses his seat in the
Senate. 1t is too bad that such
able and serviceable men should be
sacrificed TO such a blunder.
Democrats have now nothing but
New York 10 look TO. II we lose
New York, little less than a miracle
will save US. We may as well take
matters as they are and consider
them from a practical standpoint.
The worst fears OF the Courier
Journal have come TO pass.
In the light of this great reverse
wild and visionary Democrats must
see the error OF their ways and
make an effort TO amend their folly.
Their hopes are scattered. Their
counsels have come TO naught.
They should go to the rear and fall
in line, ready to follow and obey.
All is by no means lost. But ell
