An Actress of the Seventeenth
Century.

The celebrated French actress Of
the seventeenth century, Adrienne
Lecouvreur-whose name is the title
Of a drama'very popular in Europe al
present-was, says the Pail Mall Ga
zette, not only a great actress, but a
good, tender.hearted, high-minded
woman.
Before her day those of her pro.
fession, and especially of her sex,
were a class of tolerated outcasts, from
whom a Pharrasaical world was con
tent to derive its pleasures, but which
it despised as unworthy to touch the
hem Of its garment. Adrienne, byheI
lofty simplicity of life and manners,
brought down this iusolence till al
last, as is usual with insolence, il
grovelled at her feet. Not only mon,
but the highest danes in Paris,
crowded to her saloon. 1t is now the
fashion, she writes to a friend, to dine
or sup at my house, because a few
duchesses have thought fit to confer on
me this honor 1t is ~regretable, but
will be in no way surprising to those
who have studied the history OF man
ners, to learn that the duchesses

A BosToNIAN's EXPERIENCES.
The romance Of a young Bostonian,

quaintances said to the bridegroom

You think her a radiant goddess, no
doubt. Men always do have extrava-

CUPID's CAPERs,
Some OF the Queer Marital
Matches OF the Month.

Springfield Special to St. Louis Republican
Quite a sensation has grown out Of
a sham marriage that took place on
the 18th inst, at Brookline, Mo. Mr..
M. G. Mcconnell and Miss Edwiney
james, in company with Mr.. Henry
Adams and Miss Matte Gibson, all
living in the western part of the
county, on the day in question were
wing with each other in carrying
out practical jokes. Matters finally
came to the extremity that Mr..
Mcconnell and Miss James got. Rev.
J. w. Grubbs, of Brookline, to perform
the marriage ceremony just for fun.
He cheerfuily went through with the
form, but carried the matter farther
than the couple had been prepared for.
On the 10Th inst. he filed with the
county recorder a certificate of the
marriage of NJ. G. Mcconnell to Miss
Edwiney James, in the presence OF
Henry Adams and Miss Matte Glib
son. The recorder entered it on the
marriage record book. The couple
we're placed in an extremely awkward
position. To admit the marriage and
obtain a divorce was impossible, be-
cause there existed no legal grounds
for divorce. The only loop-hole fol
escape, therefore, was to fake grounds
that there was no bona fde marriage.
A warrant was sworn out for the
arrest of Rev. Mr., Grubbs, based upon
a complaint that he the said clergy.

The market opened to-day with a
slightly improved tone, but nothing Of
Importance doing owing to light and
unsatisfactory offerings. The chief
interest at present centers in the con
dition Of the ripening crop, now in its
most critical period, and the forth
coming crop report will be eagerly
scanned. From indications now at
hand it is expected that the report
will show a falling off of from 10 to IL
per cent, owing to the recent dry
weather having impaired that portion
known as the top crop. Accounts are
heard of considerable injury to the
crop in other parts of the south. Sales
here yesterday were unimportant,

The Bloody shirt,


Who bloodied it
The border ruflian invaders of
Kansas seeking to add that free Ter
ritorv to the domain Of the Slave
South. Again, the men who organ
lied and waged the war against the
Union. And again those cruel vim
dictive political leaders in the South,
who deliberately made a policy OF
bloodshed in order to destroy and
suppress the colored vote.
Why not wave it?
Because to call the attention OF
the. people afthe North to the stains
upon ii may be to defeat tho H4eR
who ensanguined it. They have
made the South SOLID" by means
cruel and corrupt beyond anything
else in the history Of American
politics. and they desire that, not.
withstanding this. they may be per-
mitted topursue their further designs
successfully. From the platform of
the solid South they hope to step in
to control of the nation, and thew
object to having any allusion made
to the inquiry and infamy upon
which their plans are built.
These, however, may not be good
reasons against the bloody shirt.
We do not believe they are. On the
contrary, it IS true that the greatest
issue of all that are involved in the
present canvass is the question
whether the Union is to be seized
by the men whose hands are stained
with the blood of Southeran Repub-
licans. slain to make solid" that
section. Whey forced the sectional
issue, in 1884, when they repealed
the Missouri Compromise again, in
1903, when they attempted to force
Kansas into the slave lists by yio-
lence and outrage; again, in 1861
when they rebellcd against tho
Union and again, since the war
closed. by threatening TO accomplish
the subjugation ofthe North through
ku kluX, the rifle clubs. the Yazoo
policy, and the false counting at
elections.
With the sectional issue thus fore
ed upon US, shall the voting freeman
of the North not brayely meet it?
Wave the bloody shirt? Yes ?
Wave 1t iii this mQnster of South
eran seotionaiism. by whose otual
policy the blood has been shed, is
finally subdued.- VILLAGE Rcc0rd
