Curious Love Affair.

The town of East Point, Ga, re.
Gently gave birth to a sensational
event caused by the elopemeut of
Miss Nollie Walker, daughter of
Rev. ". c. Walker. prominent
citizen.
Three months since, the story
goes, the young man eloped with a
younger sister of Miss Nollie and
married her. Fortunately the
brido was under fourteen years of
age, and the marriage contract was
set aside. She willingly came
home and was sent away TO school.
Raferee enGeavored to get her
back, but was unsuccessful. A
year since Raferee courted Miss
Nollie and being refused admit
ance to the house, the courtship
progressed through the medium of
correspondence and Miss Laura,
the younger sister, was made the
conhdante. Raferee soon com
menced to whisper words of love
10 Laura, which resulted in mis-
understanding between the former
lovers, and in turn it bad the de-
sired effect with the younger VIC
tim, whom be eloped with and
married. Being defeated in this
matrimonial trade, he turned his
affections loose with renewed vigor
and succeeded in rewinning the
C onhdence of his first love. The
second e'opement created consid-
cradle excitement and sensational
comment from the fact of seem
ing determination to have one of
tue family at all hazards. The pa

Dear is the love have spoken fol- thee,
FerVent and true 4; b1t like pearls in the sea,
Hidi ng it's purity far out of reach
Lieth a love all too precious for speech.
Hints Of its majesty, thrills of its bliss,
Come to often with clasp and with kiss
Shadows of beauty an echoes of song,
Vague the forms which to angels belong.
NJ ystical union of soul unto soul
Marriage which man cannot make control
II eart-ties which Fate cannot weaken sever,
Wonderful love which endure.h forever
In tho Hereafter marriage shall be
Dear, is it needed to bind you to me
Souls live forever, and souls wed in love
Are welded eternally here and above
Sacred the vows which the bridal day brings,
Holy the symbols of wreaths and of rings,
But holier far is the rapture untold,
M ore pure than the wreath and more fine than the
gold.
With the roses of youth, with the beam of eye,
The feelings utter may vanish and die,
the bow of the sky, with its hines rich and warm
Fadeth and leayeth no trace of its charm
Lives the music lives to shell;
The shell, though forsook by it's lover the wave,
EYermore echoes the gladuess it gave.
So the heart which hath lain in Loves infinite sea
Repenteth forever its rare melody.

Leap Year.

The earth makes the circuit of
the sun in 365 days hours and 4S
minutes 1902 seconds This is
called the solar year The civil
year is ordinarily 365 days, the
excess (5h. 4Sm. 40 OG2s J amount
ing in four years to very nearly a
day. Accordingly each fourth year
is given 366 days. But this counts
a little too much, the excess in a
century amounting to nearly a day.
So, instead of calling the even
hundred years leap years, they are
made ordinary years of 365 DAYS.
This approximate correction in
wolves an error of little over one
fourth of day every century,
which is nearly set right by count
ing each 4OOth year as leap year.
By these leap years and intercala-
ted days (every fourth year except
the hundreds not divisible by 40o)
the civil and solar years are closely
reccnciled, the object being to
make the seasons permanently;ac-
cord with the calendar. BY max.
ing further correction of one dav
every 4o0th year, counting each
40Oth year as not O leap year-the
error is so small that 21,600 years
must elapse before it will amount
to a fnll day.

approaching National Con-
test.
The coming Presidential contest
will not be the beginning of new
struggle, bnt an old battle fought
OYER again, and to the natural heat of
such dispute will be added the
peDt-np, smonlderinS fires of the
last strife. The gubernatorial race
in Ohio is the first onset of the
great combat. The victors there
will leave the field elated with hope
and triumph while the conquered,
alter the first depression OF defeat,
vii! knit their brows and set their
teeth, moro firmly determined, by
renewed energy, to reverse the un-
favorable decision. These circum-
stances, added to the fact that the
Ohio canvass of 1875 was one cf
the most exciting in our history,
and that the present one bids fair
to be its equal, cause public interest
to be acutely awake as to the prob
able chances of the candidates.
The omens auspicious to Gen.
Ewing are generally summed up by
the facts that as a sterling, able
Democrat he has the full support
OF his own party, while his green
back tendencies will gain him the
vote of the party that is supposed
to hold the balance of power in that
close State. Indeed, distinguish
ed Republican Senator, specially
noted for his political sagacity and
foresight has declared the nomi-
nation of Ewing to be the best
stroke of policy that the Democratic
party has achieved for five years.
We acknowledge all these claims
as favorable to the distinguished
but We consider that the
main tower of his strength is found
in the manner of his nomination, in
that it seemed to be the expression
Of the real viii Of the pcople-the
voices of the masses drowning the
advice of leaders and politicians
Ihls class, often too occupied with
Watching each other to note the
real course of public sentiment, had
placed Ewing's name among the
bare possibilities-among the bot
tom cards which the shuttle of poll
tics sometimes brings to the top :;
but the people, they who cast the
votes and turn the tide OF victory
Or defeat, wanted Ewing, and they
broke from their leading strings
and placed him in nomination, and
by the same irresistible force will
make him the next Governor Of
Ohio.
We can only hope that some
such power may arise in 1850
some majestic influence in some
great man, that shall draw the
hearts of all the people to h,m, and
make them feel and know that he
is the man of the age and the day
some man who may inspire the
people with a faith that shall oyc:-
come all doubts and theories and
and win by the strength
that was in jackson and Harrison
and Polk. Perhaps one Of the
very men who are at present promi-
nently spoken of for the Presidency
may be the very man whom we are
seeking. His name may be Thur
man, or Hendricks, or Tilden, or
Hancock, or he may push forward
like a meteor, through the night OF
obscurity. But we want him to
come forward and lead us to Il Ger
Gain and stunning victory.

THE enforcement OF the laws against
miscegenatlon, both in Virginia and
Indiana, has caused much hostile
comment in the Radical press of the
country. They overlook the fact that
their own strongholds of Maine,
Michigan and Vermont have just such
laws, and no efforts have been mado
to remove them from the statute
books. The Michigan law says sim
