The ElOpement of Miss Owens.

A Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore San, gives the follow
ing additional particulars of the elope-
ment of Miss Helen Owens of this
county, with the negro Platter, farm
hand on the premises of DR.. Henry
Richardson, the particulars of which
were given in the CAPITAL, of yes
terday:
A license was taken out at the
clerks Office this afternoon for the
marriage of Jesse Platter, colored,
and Helen Owens, white, of Anne
Arundel county, Md. The couple
were brought to the police station
this morning, having been arrested
at Bennings in consequence of tele-
gram from DR.. Henry Richardson, of
Bristol Station, Nd, brother.in-law
Of Miss Owens. She says she was
determined to marry Platter, and that
rather than 90 back to Anne Arun-
del she would commit suicide. Platter,
who was talkative, declared that they
had had no time for courting; they
had known each other for some years
and had often stopped and talked in
the fields ald at the fence, and a
short time since while standing near
the fence they determined to get
married. They were detained at
police headquarters to await the
arrival of DR.. Richardson, but as
neither had committed an offense
against the law of the District, they
were allowed to go, md they came
at once to the Courthouse and obtain
ed the license as mentioned. The
woman was dressed in dark calico
gown, with a white muslin bodice
and brick straw hat trimmed with
Grape. A crowd followed them to
the City Hall, and having obtained
the license, they crossed the street to
the Office of Justice Il. l. O'Neal in
order that they might be married
there. The crowd around the door
halloed and laughed and whooped,
and tie magistrate sent them away
from his office without his blessing;
and still unmarried they sought a
colored clergyman of South Wash
ington.
Platter took the woman to several
magistrates Offices, but they all de-
clined to marry them. Afterwards,
at the suggestion of a colored woman,
the couple went to South Washing
ton to hunt up colored preacher,
who was represented as being sure
man, and one who never refused to
marry any one.
Later on, about 5 O'Clock, another
telegram was received from DR.. Rich
ardson, sent by way of Marlboro, in
which he asked that the woman be
detained so as to prevent the mar
riage from taking place He said the
woman was to his personal knowl-
edge insane Nothing however could
be found out about them. Though
the woman gave her age as 81 and
the mans as 81, the police believe
that they are much younger. The
man does not look to be over 81 and
woman certainly not over %.

Buiwer's Gambling.

Early one morning Bulwor, the
novelist, returned to his hotel
from a gambling house, where he
had been the last hours of the
night. For the first time in his
life ho had played high; and with
the insidious good fortune SO
frequently attendant on tho first
steps along what would otherwise
bo the shortest and least attract
i've pathway to perdition. he had
gained largely. The day was
dawning when he reached his
own rooms His writing.desk
stood upon u console in front Of
q mirror, and he was startled and
shocked by tho reflection Of his
face in the glass behind it. The
expression of the countenance
was not only haggard, it was sin
lister. He had risked far more
than he could afford to lose; his
luck had been extraordinary and
his gains were great. But the
ignoble emotions of the night had
left their lingering traces in his
face, and as he caught sight of
his own features still working and
cleaning with the fever of u
vicious excitement he, for the
first time, despised himself. II
was then he formed a resolution
that, be the circumstances what
they might, no inducement,
whether of need or greed, should
again tempt him to become n
gambler.

Indian Irrigation.
IAllianco.l |

A writer in an English exchange
says: "The labor saving machin-
cry is of no value in a country
where labor is not worth saving.
So deeply ingrained is this fact
in the minds of all Anglo-Indians
even the most enlightened -
that they meet you at all times
and in all places with it. A com
mon method of raising water for
irrigation is by means of trough
balanced on the end of pole or
bar, which has its fulcrum on the
bank of the stream or reservoir.
The man in charge raises the
shore end of the lever aud the
other is plunged into the water.
Depressing the shore end, the
man brings up the trough filed
with water, which by the same
action rushes out upon the bank
into tine irrigation channel pre-
pared for it. So the see-saw goes
on as long as the water lasts. l

Joe Emmet, the tragedian, is
one of the men who is said to
have Wis ted the realms of tremor-
dom aud enjoyed himself Joe
saw beautifully colored raiubows,
handsome women in gaudy dress,
magnificent palaces. His present
unique and wonderful mansion
ON the Hudson is said to have
been nodded after one of his
tremcns structures. He saw a
house different from anything in
the world, and entering was fairly
entranced. There were no regu-
lar ceilings, but they were undu-
lating and wavy, resembling the
ripples on Il beautiful lake, and
were exquisitely colored. There
were no corners in the rooms, but
sudden recesses here and there,
and cozy hooks and pretty re-
treats, while foreign brio a-brac
and the portraits OF famous stars
adorned the frescoed walls. The
Hudson mansion was built and
furnished as nearly after this
model as possible, and it is the
wonder OF all who see it.

E.,rsvasant wales,
II.oudon Cor Nov York rdbune,i

Once more arises the sorry
rumor Of the Prince OF Wales
debts. Many Of his friends are,
owing to agricultural depression,
not so we'll of as they were, and
stand aghast at tho prospect OF
not seeing their money for years,
il ever. Should any harm befall
"Tum -Tum," as lie is called,
every shilling Of some f200,O0
would be lost. II the Queen,
who ia worth nearly 100000 OF
private disposable property, will
not pay "Tum- -Tum's" debts while
he is living, most assuredly she
would not pay them after his
death. Any appeal to tho country
would be received with derision,
not because the Prince is unpop-
ular, but because his mothers
habit OF boarding up the money
paid her for frais de representa-.
ton has made her so. The coun-
try paid o great deal for George
~. when prince regent, and
Charles Greville has told the
world all about tho scampish
royal dukos. But George ~,
before he ''from earth descended, I"
as Landor's epigram puts it,
earned the love of all the BARRIERS
and tailors in tho United King
dom by his remarkable inventions.
He invented three important ar
ticles OF male costume. Firstly,
the wig, without which his sacred
majesty was never seen except by
his pages, the widow of ono Of
whom, Lady Knighton, died
only the other day. Wigs re-
sembling the kings were worn
late into our fathers time by the
Waterloo veterans, who also wore,
| am told, the frogged "surtout'
with braid and fur upon it, also
invented by the monarch. His
third grand idea was the high and
stiff shirt collar, which complete
ly superseded the limp muslin
cravats one sees in pictures by
Gainsborough and in the earlier
period of Lawrence. Now tho
Prince of Wales can hardly claim
to have invented anything but
luxurious hot lunches at shooting
parties, which he has clearly
brought into fashion. But he is
a benofactor of his race as re-
vivalist. He has distinctly revived
suppers and pumps. Both were
completely out of date when he
commenced his career as leader
OF fashion. Now we sup glori-
ously, and those of gouty ten
dency fervently murmur, "God
bless the Prince of Wales" as
they look at their smart and COM

monarchy. His scheme is rather
novel, and likely TO commend
itself to the "fret families" He
proposes to ask some lineal de-
scendant Of Lafayette to proclaim
himself limited monarch Of Amer
ica. This King Lafayette will
allow the Senate and the House
Of Representatives TO exist, but
will reserve TO himself the power
Of filling all important Offices. To
these he will only "select men,
bers OF the first families OF Amer
ica. as now represented in mem
bership, origin and order" He
is convinced that the people
would rally around u King La
fayette, and perhaps some OF the
"first families" would.
