The Result of Deception.

A divorce case recently decided in
Birmingham, Alabama, has led to the
disclosure of a romantic incident in the
history Of two families long settled in
Walker county. John H. Reynolds,
from North Carolina, with his wife, q
daughter and a handsome quadroon
girl. who acted as attendant on the in
valid wife, settled there in 1868. Henry
Horton, former neighbor in North
Carolina, settled near Reynolds, and the
son of Horton was fually married to the
daughter Of Reynolds. In May last the
quadroon woman was taken ill, and on
her death bed confessed that she was
the mother of REYNOLDS daughter and
not his wife. The latter had been
forced by Reynolds to adopt the child as
her own, and the secret has doubtless
dragged her to her premature grave.
The QuadrOon woman said her daughter
knew nothing of these facts, and be-
lieved herself the legitimate daughter
OF Reynolds. Mark Hopkins, the
husband, disclosed the secret to
his wife, sent her and her new born
child back to her father, and the court
has declared the marriage void, because
- II Auus dun lbLnlIleS are DfOAen no.
Mark has gone to California, his father
has returned to North Carolina. and
Reynolds is disposing of his property
preparatory to removing. He is blamed
by everybody for the misery he has
brought upon his unhappy daughter
and the Horizons. He attempted to in
duce bis daughter to contest the di-
vorce suit, bnt she was not in q condi-
ton to appear in court.

Buddhism.

Although most of the Chinese are
devout Buddbists, they do not show
much readiness to enter the priesthood,
whose member might be reduced below
a working force we've their ranks not re-
cruited by children either purchased or
kidnapped The poorest Chinese will
not sell even their daughters except in
time Of great distress, and the prospect
Of their sons gaining influence in the
national religion is rarely an inducement
for parents to part with them. Kidnap.
ping, albeit punishable with death,
speedy and ignominious, is quite com
mon, and brings many priests to the
temple. Not infreqHently parents con
secrate child to Buddha, usually in
fulfllment of vow, and he is then posi-
lively irrecoverable. His head is en-
tirely shaved; he is fed ON vegetables, re-
fused wine, taught the liturgies without
understanding them. After novitiate,
pastilles are burned on his scalp, max
ing a scar that never heals, and is the
outward sign of bis divine ordainment.
Thenceforth he lives a celibate, and en-
dures the dull, monofonous round
which constitutes the sacerdotai office.
The Buddhist priesthood is often ref
uge for criminals, who prefer that
dreary life to the severity Of Monaghan
punishment and madarins who haze

times take VOWS and enter monastery
Buddhism is absolute atheism, for the
very idea Of a God is entirely absent
from their system. God is not even
denied be is SIMPLY not known. The
Buddhist accepts no being or beings
with more supernatural power than any
man may reach by virtue, austerity, and
science. Some OF the Buddhist people,
like the Chinese, Mongolians, and
TIbetRns, are so imperyious to any con-
ception of divinity that they have in
their language no word to express the
notion of God.

TIE Governors of the thirteen original
States are in Philadelphia arranging for the
centennial anniversary of the surrender of
CORVALLIS at Yorktown. This is certainly
| taking time by the forelock. CORVALLIS sur
rendered on the 10Th of October, 1881, so that
it will be two years till the hundredth ami
versary occurs However, it is an es ent sec
ond only in Importance to the Declaration of
Independence--as it virtually decided the
struggle for independence-and therefore it is
worthy of being publicly honored oftener than
once in hundred years. The British com
mander was fairly bottled up by the American
and French armies, and by the French fleet
in Chesapeake bay, and after enduring sharp
bombardment for eight or nine days, he sur
rendered his army of 5000 men. The besieg
ing force numbered 1900 American CONT
nentals and militia, 1000 French veterans,
and fleet CT 81 ships under De Grasse.
We are in correspondence with the Mayor
of Philadelphia on subject which should be
very dear to them, and which would add in
terest to the occasion-the restoration of The
old Independence bell, which we can accom-
plish either in Carson, or by sending man
there to do it.

WEDDING invitations and brushes at re-
captions, wedding presents and general
funeral notices are all becoming obsolete,
and for good reasons. People living in
houses which would not accommodate fifty
persons comfortably, used to issue, for mar
riage receptions, hundreds of invitations; the
consequence was, crush and general gulp-
ing of wine and cake, spoiled carpets and

wedding notices come down to the P. S.,
