|" Gone to PreSs."

This office, says the Jersey City Jour- raal, has temporarily lost the services of one of it's most valuable compositors, MT. Walter Smith. MT. Smith has for long time been "setting up" to Miss Lizzie Lieberger, of Bank street, New ark, and yesterday "made up" his mind to take her "form" for all "time," so long as they both shall live. The happy event was celebrated at the brides residence, and was very pleas ing in every particular. The young couple were joined in the bonds of "hyphen mo, hymen-by Rev. Dr. Shumach, of the Lutheran Church, who expressed the hope that the bliss of the young people may never reach 8 "period." The numerous friends con. graduated the couple, and hoped that no cold "dash will ever find them un- prepared to put "colon" the fire, and that they will never be without "quoins " sufficient to make life pleas ant. Apelles' orchestra furnished excel let music, which aided the company to "chase dull care away and make the time fly. If some of MT. Smiths fel- low compositors will "copy" after him, they will be happier and better men. A fine supper was served after the cere, mony, which the most accomplished epicures "ruled " to be very fine. All happiness to the new beginners.

At a Dinner Party

At one of New York's fashionable restaurants an incident occurred quite significant of the popularity of one of that city's old merchants. Tho party, comprising some 50 or 60 gentlemen of wealth and prominence, all piled their hats upon table, and upon leaving it was difficult to distinguish them without close examination. One says mine IS a Knox hat; another responds, so is mine; and this was the response of all but two of the entire party. That Is what we cal! an endorsement of Knox by large ma- jority, and only shows the result of hon. est dealing, good goods, and leading styles. Knox crowns more heads than any natter in the world.

The NihiIistS.

Some of the Nihilists, who are known as "Federalists," have drawn up a scheme of reorganization which they propose to bring forward after the destruction of the present political regime. According to this scheme, Russia would be split up into 9 number of small free States, which would be only connected with each other by a Congress and 8 President, like the United States of North America. Small and self-governing communal States are, they say, the primitive forms of Russian political life; it was only Ivan the Terrible and his successors who, with the help of the Tartars, created the present centralized and autocratic empire. Such scheme would, it is believed, find favor with many mem. bers of the constitutional party who feel the difficulty of governing nation of 9O,0OO,O0O of people by single central Parliament, and also with some of the "old Russians, /" who dream o1 establishing, in opposition to the civilization based on the institutions ot ancient Russia.

Artemus Wards Trip to Boston.

While great observer of men, and one of the keenest readers of character, the late Artemus Ward (Browne), took comparatively little notice of places and other objects of interest. A lady who knew him we'll said that had beggar in rags been seated by the most beautiful statue, he would have seen the beggar first. This neglect of places several times brought him to grief. Once, when going from Waterford to Boston, he went on board steamer at Portland, late in the evening, and at once retired to his state-room. A storm was threatening and the boat did not leave. He arose early in the morning and, going out upon the landing called 8 hackman and asked to be conveyed to the Revere House. And not until he had broken the second commandment and had threatened to break the fifth, could he be persuaded that he was yet | in Portland. -Scribner for MQy.
