MINOR MENTION.

A SAN FRANCISCO philosopher thinks he has
discovered one of the vital reasons why young
men do not marry. This obstacle to matrimony
is nothing less than the high price of flowers and
the immense quantities of these required by the
maiden of the period for the purpose of garnish-
ing herself The day is past, says this observer,
when the gift of rose or simple nosegay is a
sufficient tribute from an admrer. The young
woman gauges her lovers devotion by the ex-
pensiveness Of the flowers he sends; and the
language of the blossoms is a small
matter, so that they have long stems
The argument against the correctness
of this theory is that the young man is, or ought
to be, aware thatthe giving of flowers ceases in
real life with the wedding day, or shortly after,
and that the consideration of celery and cauli-
flower, cabbage and potatoes take the attention
from more ethereal vegetable growths However.

custom house license which was ex-
hibited at the trials was the best eyi.
dence of the vessels tonnage, the State
could not introduce evidence TO con-
tradict it. On the other hand, it was
cantended by the State that palpa-
BILE fraud, either in procuring or In the
issuance Of the custom house license
had been perpetrated, and that such
being the case the county license OBJ
tanned upon it was fraudulent. and
that, therefore, the accused had no le.
gal license to dredge. The State in
sisted that it was competent to show

the measurement was false. The ius-
tice sustained the views of the State
and the evidence was admitted. The
evidence was gone over and the case
argued by the counsel on Wednesday.
Justice Flint held the case under con-
sideration till yesterday, when his de-
cisi0n was rendered as above stated.
