A Projected SeashOre Resort Below
Norfolk.

We learn from the Norfolk Landmark
that the Seaside Land and Hotel Company
of that city have recently purchased a
number of farms on the Atlantic coast,
beginning about seven miles below Cape
Henry and running southwark along the
beach for six miles. They have also Sc
cured the right of way for railroad from
Norfolk to their beach property, a dis
tance of only fifteen miles, and on the
18th of June will open books of subscrip-
ton TO the stock of said road at the office
of the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal
Company by authority of charter
granted by the Legislature of Virginia to
the Norfolk and SeaweIl's Point Railroad
Company to construct a railroad to Sea-
wells Point, or any other locality on the
Chesapeake Bay OF Atlantic Ocean shores
of Virginia.
1t is claimed that this property will
make as attractive a summer resort as
Long Branch, on the New Jersey coast.
There is a hard beach for fifty miles from
Cape Henry southwark. There is an
abundance of timber back from the shore.
The property will be for sale in lots to
suit, and hotels and restaurants can be
established there by any who have the
capital and confidence in the outcome of
the locality. There is to be one large
hotel erected, to be kept open during win
ter. The people Of Washington will be
interested in watching the progress of
this enterprise. Marshall Parks, II. D.
Van Wick, and H. 3. Nichols are among
the projectors.

A romantic marriage took place
here on Mardi Gras. A young

were acquainted, met on the street
and commenced bantering each
other about marriage. He offered
himself in a testing way, and the
conversation was kept up until
they reached the young lady's
home. Neither had the slightest
idea Of getting married at the
time, but Cupid was at work shoot
ing arrows, and the discussion
was resumed in tie parlor. he
again offered himself. and dared
her to marry him that day. She
replied, as she caught up her hat,
"Let US CO." He seized his hat
and assented. They visited the
county clerks Offices, secured a
license, and repaired to the. resi-
dence of a clergyman, stating the
object of their visit. He asked If
it was a runaway match. The
young man replied, "Not exactly

objecting, was induced to say
YES" They we're married, and
are now as happy as any of those
who married after long courtships
and more so, perhaps. May they

Profitable P~Oliteness.

The Boston Traveller, in
commenting on the prevalence of
rudeness, tells the following
incident that happened some
years ago: There vas a plainly
dressed elderly lady, who was a
frequent customer at the leading
dry goods store in Boston. No one
III the store knew her even by
name. All the clerks but one
avoided her and gave their atteD
tons to those who were better
dressed and more pretentious.
The exception was a young man
who had a conscientious regard
for duty and system. He neves
left another customer to wait on a
lady, but when at liberty he waited
on her with as much attentions
as if she had been a princess.
This continued a year or two
till the young man became Of age.
One morning the lady approached
the young man. when the follow.
ing conversation took place
Lady-"Young man, do you
wish to get into business for
yourself"
Yes, ma'am," he replied. "but
have neither money, credit nor
friends, nor will any one trust me-
"Well," continued the lady, you
go and select a good situation. ask
what the rent is, and report tc
me-" handing the Young man her
address. The young man went
found a capital location, and a
good store, but the landlord
required security, which he could
not give. Mindful of the lady's
request, he forthwith went to hel
and reported. We'll" she replied
you 60 and tell Mr.-that | will
be responsible" he went and the
landlord or agent was surprised
but the bargain was closed.
The next day the lady agair
called to ascertain the result
The young man told her, bu'
added What am | to do 70,
goods? No one will trust me.
You may go and see Mr.. -
and Mr. - and MI. - anc
tell them to call on me-" He did
and his store was soon stocked
with the best goods in the market

There is a ferce-looking Greek
in jail in New York, who is in a
very sad plight, as he cannot tind
any one in that large city to hold
copversc with him. The Greek con.
sui tried to converse with him, but
neither could understand a word
the other said Nearly every Greek
ia the town has beer tried with
similar result. 1t is suppos.
ed that the captive IS a native of
some remote Grecian isle where a
very debased Romantic dialect is
spoken. The question is what can
be done with a person in this
predicament.-N. O. Democrat.
