The Door result of this second undertaking, which
was carried out in April, 1852, induced Schenk to
turn his mind to other means of obtaining money
without working forit. He knew that almost any
girl would give up all she had if a handsome, edu-
Gated young fellow pretended to be desperately III

had shown him that the soft hands of womankind
had sharp claws when dIsappOin tment followed
hope and he told Schlossarek that if anything was

to apply for them. This lead TO Schenk's acquaint-
ance with Josephine Tmal lie explained TO her
that being an engineer with wealthy relatives somo
of whom occupied high rank, 1t was impossible
for him to marry a girl IN service. Josephine
therefore left her place and her trunks her savings
and all her earthly belongings were transferred to
Schenks lodgings, whilst Josephine was taken to
a hotel where she was to wait until Schcnks doc
urnents had arrived from Cracow. when the wedding
should take place. To Josephine that hotel was Il
bower of bliss. She wrote letters 10 all her relations,
informing them of the grand things that wcro in
store for her One Of these letters was to an amt
no lived at distance and whom Josephine was
especially anxious to inform of her good fortune,
because she had some money OF her own. Schenl
asked her To put no date on the letter, and 10

directly after the marriage ceremony. The dOcU-
ments arrived IN good time. and Josephine set

Tennessee Democracy

NASHVILLE, June 19.-The Demo-
cratic convention re-assembled at 8. a.
m. The entire forenoon was con-
sumed in consideration of the plat
form, and the minority report, which
embodies the features of the Ohio

table the majority report and relegate
the whole tariff question to the ma
tionai convention was voted down.
A long platform was finally adop-
ted, which is devoted about equally
to state affairs and the tariff. OF the
latter, the following are the chief
points: Justice and sound policy for
bid the federal government to foster
one branch OF industry to the detri-
ment of another, or to cherish the in.
terests of one portion of the country
to the injury of another portion
of our common country, and hence we
denounce the present tariff as a mas
ter-piece Of injustice, inequality and
false pretense. We favor a reduction
of the tariff, and demand that no more
revenue be raised then is required to
defray the legitimate expense of the
government economically admins
tered, and the revenue raised for any
other purpose, whether by custom
house taxation or otherwise, is unau-
thoriZed by the constitution.
Gov. Bates was recom1nated by ac-
clamation, and the convention ad-
journed sine die.
A call for the previous question on
the adoption of the majority report on
platform failed for lack of a tWo.third
majority and the convention adjourn
ed to 3 p. m.
