"You PROMISED Me FIRsT."-A special
from Vincennes, Ind, says that johnson
township in that county, was the scene OF q
funny attempt at wedding recently, which
has Just been developed. In that locality
lives Melissa Underwood, the fair daughter
of an honest and respectable old farmer.
Two young men, one P. H. Donovan, farm
er, the other William Ayres, miller, were
paying court to the fair Melissa. She could
not decide which one to favor, having prom
ised each one to marry him, but finally being
more ardently wooed by Ayres, she consented
to take him if it could be kept secret from
Donovan. Ayres came to this city, secured
license and the necessary outfit, and one
day, in company with Justice Of the Peace,
proceeded to the Underwood farm. The
bridal party were on the floor and the Squire
had nearly finished the job, when Donovan,
to the surprise of every one, rushed in and
declared that the ceremony should proceed no
further. Donovan grabbed the girl by the
waist and exclaimed, in piteous accents, "Oh,
Meliss, don't you consent, for you promised
me first" Ayres had her around the neck,
and yelled in stentorian tones, "Go on, Squire,
we are halfmarried now; finish up the job"
The Magistrate, under the circumstances, re.
fused to proceed, and Ayres, although halt.
married, is no better off than before, and
Donovan is disconsolate. Cincinnati Com

RAPID GROWTH OF THE cELEsTIALs

sa| The policy pursued by some Of our poll
ticians-namely, that Of trying to be all thinss
to all men-reminds us Of a story we once,
heard. A man who scorned the name Of
trimmer said to the voters in his district:
"Gentlemen, them's my sentiments, and they
are the sentiments of an honest man. Still, if
they don't suit the majority of you, I would
have it understood they can be altered"

HEAR Both S1DEs.-Never condemn your
neighbor unheard, however many the accusa'
tions which may be preferred against him ;
every story has two ways of being told, and
justice requires that you should hear the de-
fence as we'll as the accusation, and remem-
that the malignity of enemies may place you
in a similar situation.

WHAT DOES 1T MATTERe
It matters little where was born,
Or if my parents were rich or poor:
Whether they shrank at the cold worlds scorn
Or walked in the pride of wealth secure;
But whether live an honest man,
And hold my integrity firm in my clutch,
I tell you, brother, plain as l can,
It matters much.
It matters little how longI stay
In q world of sorrow, sin and care;
Whether in youth am called away,
Or live till my bones and pate are bare;
But whether do the best can
To soften the weight of adversity's touch
On the faded cheek of my fellow-man,
It Itmatters mucht ..... ..
It matters little where be my grave,
Or on the land or on the sea; ..-.i -.
By purling brook or meath stormy wave,
It matters little or naught to me; p,
But whether the angel Death comes down,
And marks my brow with his loving touch,
AS one that shall wear the victor's crown. ..

As to the
RAPID GROWTH OF THE cELEsTIALs
here, Lee Kan, who is interpreter at the Bank
of California, furnishes some very interesting
statistics. He says: Cinnamon began to do
business here in 1850, and their stores were
first opened on Dupont and Sacramento
streets. During 1853 81 the influx was very
great. In 1860 the total number Of Chinese
in the United States was about 10000. In
1870 there were fully $4,000. There are now
on this Continent about 100000 Chinese,
100000 of whom are here on the Pacific
coast. He believes the Chinese population of
San Francisco will reach 10000, Of whom
about $4,000 live in the territory Of China
town.

TIRED or RAILROAD RULE.-- The New
Jersey Association has issued an address to
The citizens OF the State, irrespective ofparty,
in which it calls their attention to certain
matters of home interest which it considers of
more importance than any of the questions
now dividing them into political parties. !"
Some of the questions discussed are as fol-
lows: The rate of charges on the railroads is
roo high, and not onlyis retarding the deyel-
opmcnt Of the State, but prevents an increas-
ed value Of its railroad property. There
should be but one system Of taxation for rail
roads and citizens, instead Of two, as at pres
ent. The discrimination by all the railroads
terminating at Jersey City against the locali-
Ties around their termini in New Jersey and
in favor of New York is deplored. The asso-
citation recommends a law appointing Board
Of Railroad Commissioners on the model pre-
sented by Massachusetts,, and also that the
candidates for the Legislature this year shall
he committed to the interests of the people.

iilgly called US the estate Of Camden and Am
boy,'' control that is exercised at this time
both against their own best interests and that
OF the prosperity of our State. :"

YOKOHAMA, July 17.--The reception to ex-
President Grant in Toxic is unprecedented in
Japanese history. In addition to demonstra-
tions by the Government, citizens have given
entertainments on sumptuous scale. Every
day and night there were fresh novelties for
his diversion. Gen. Grant had an audience
with tile Emperor on July 4, his Majesty al
luding happily to coincidence of the date
The sole obstacle to harmony is caused by
the demeanor Of the English officers, who per-
sistcntly keep aloof from Gen. Grant, and de-
cline to give salutes or recognition. 1t is not
clearly understood whether or not this is in
consequence of orders from home. There is
much comment thereupon, and it is distinct
ly known that Gen. Grant is keenly sensitive
TO sights. Cen. Grant after visiting various
points, will sail for Yezo. He will start for
America the last week in August.

Six or seven years ago, when California was
s all excitement over the quicksilver discover
les, Pine Flat was lively little town of four
or five thousand inhabitants. Six or seven
Hundred men were always to DO seen in the
streets the hotels could net accommodate all
the guests that came to them, and business of
all kinds was =. booming" Every one seemed
to be growing rich for short time, but a
change came over the spirit of their dreams.
The price of quicksilver declined, the wave of
prosperity broke up in white foam and subsi-
ded to a calm, and the thousands of people
who had made q city Of Pine Flat went out
with the turning tide of fortune. To-day, by
actual count, there are two and a-half houses
for every iuhabitant, and there are fifteen
houses In short, Pine Flat is as good an ex-
ample of deserted mining town as could be
found anywhere.

It is pleasant to bear from Receiver now

suied that he is not suffering embarrassment
from want of funds to pay current expenses.
Receiver Parker, Of the Notorious New Ior-

is in great trouble. In addition to preaching
the glad tidings OF the gospel to lost world,
the Rev. Mr.. Murray has been running
q Blackboard Company, = for the manufac-
ture Of a wagon invented by him ; he has al
so conducted farm, bred fast horses AID driv-
en- them, written books about hunting and
spent much of his time pursuing game in the
Adirondacks. He is up in that region now /;
and during his absence his notes have gone to
protest, his bank checks have been dishonor-
ed, and a miscellaneous assortment of deputy
sheriffs have levied upon his hay, his horses,
bis Buck Board Company stock and every
thing else belonging to Mr.. Murray that they
could lay their hands on, excepting his $, r
mons. The spiritual condition of his congre-
CATION during his absence is not mentioned.

Jere Black ON Political Affairs.

Judge Jere S. Black Of Pennsylvan-
ia yields to the Washington Post his
views upon national politics, to the
effect that the treachery of Tammany
is enough to make a true Democrat
curse his better angel from his side
and fall to reprobation;" that Tilden,
in his opinion, doesn't want to be the
candidate in 1880, but that he can
have the nomination if he is willing
to take it; that his personal prefer
ence is not for Tilden, bul for Gencr-
al Hancock, because he was the first
officer of his rank in the regular ar
my that lifted his voice to say good
word for constitutional llberty;' but
he thinks Tilden deserves a vindics-
ton as the victim Of fraud and slan-
der Judge Black says the talk to
the effect that Tilden ought to have
seized the Presidency and had himself
insugurated at all risks is "unmitiga-
ted nonsense" If the house had de
clared him elected, then he would have
been nnfaithful to his duty if he mad
not taken possession; but when his
political supporters in Congress per-
mitted him and his constituents to be
juggled out of their rights. he could
not remedy the wrong.
