AAUGHAbLE LOVE OTORY. IA Iicn OtQ
gentleman had an only daughter, pos
sessed of the highest attractions, moral,
personal and pecuniary. She was en-
gagged and devotedly attached to d
young man in every respect s7Orthy of
her choice. All the marriage prelimi
naries were arranged, and the wedding
was fixed to take place on q certain
Thursday. On the Monday preceding
the wedding-day the bride and groom
elect (who was to have received $780,
600 down on his wedding day, and
further sum of 100 900 on his father-in
laws death, an event which would prob
ably soon occur) had a little jealous
squabble with his intended at an even
ing party. The " tiff arose in conse-
quence of his paying more attention
than she thought justifabie to lady
with sparkling eyes and inimitable ring
lets. ...-.' lt.... liza aI,


The gentleman retorted, and spoke
tauntingly of certain cousin whose
wa;stcoat was the admiration Of the
company, and limited that it had been
embroidered by the fair heiress herself.
He added that it would be soon enough
to be schooled after they were mar
1ied, and that she had adopted the
breeches" little too soon. After sun
per they become reconciled apparently,
and the bridegroom elect, in taking
leave was kind and affectionate. On
the next morning the swain regretted
the angry feeling he had exhibited and
the cutting sarcasm to which he had
given vent; and as part of the amende
honorable, packed up q magnificent sat
in dress which he had previously be-
spoke, for bis beloved (which had been
sent home in the interval), and sent it
to the lady with the following note:


"DEAK JANE:--I have been unable to
close my eyes all night, in thinking of
our misunderstanding last evening.
Pray pardon me; and, in token of your
forgiveness, deign to accept the accom-
panying dress, and wear it for the sake
of your most affectionate HENRY"


Having written the note, he gave it
to his servant to deliver with the par
eel. But, as pair of pantaloons hap
pened to need repairing, heavailed HIM
self of the opportunity (the servant
having to pass the tailor,s ,shop) to
send them in another package to the
tailor. The man made the fatal blum
der! left the satin dress with Snip, and
took the note and the damaged trowsers
to the lady. So exasperated was she at
what she considered determined ind
deliberate affront, that when her ad-
mirer called she ordered the door to be
closed in his face, refused to listen to
his explanation, and resolutely broke
off the match. ,UA9iL5M y lG2

The WEEKLY WISCONSIN will soon enter upon it's
Tuenty-eighth Volume. 1t is the leading weekly
newspaper OF the vast and productive region lying
west OF Lake Michigan-the garden OF the North
west. Since the WISCONSIN commenced its weekly
visits TO the people OF the Northwest, their num-
bers in the region designated have increase from
half million TO more than three millions!


The proprietors OF the WEEKLY WISCONSIN have
always endeavored to keep their journal up with
the advancing spirit Of the times, in it's editorial
management; and have anticipated the demands
Of the growth OF the country, and the material
interests of their readers. From a small news
paper twenty gh. years ago, we have increased
the WEEKLY WISCONSIN to a 4S-column-quarto-
larger than the NeW York Ledger, or the NeiO York
Weekly.


1t is our determination TO cover the whole field
departments under the charge Of competent
EDITORS and no expense is spared that can add TO
its desirability as a NEWSPAPER.


For the year to come we shall continue our feat
ure Of running serial story-completing and
publishing from three TO four novels, the cost Of
which would be twice the subscription price Of the
paper for the year. This great feature does not
infringe upon the completeness of other depart
ments; but is entirely EXTRA, and beyond what Is
usually given the readers of a weekly newspaper.


In order to anticipate the financial demands Of
the times, and to meet the spirit Of economy that
will more or less have to be practiced for time,

The proceedings of this body yesterday af-
forded much qualification to its friends, and
no little anxiety to its enemies. The latter
had indulged the hope that the Convention
would be a failure, that sufficient interest was
not felt in the subject by the country people
to draw them from their severe cares on their
plantations in the midst of their harvest, to
induce them to come to the city to attend q
political convention and engage in public at
fairs. But this proved a wide miscalcuiation.
The country parishes turned up in the Con-
ventlon with an unusually large and respect
able representation, and manifested the deep
est interest in the subject.


There was nothing in their presence or bear
ing to give any encouragement to the doleful
predictions of the Kelloggites, or to confirm
his numerous kilograms to Attorney General
Williams, that the people had acquiesced i'll
the Kellogg usurpation, and abandoned the
hopeless struggle for Congressional interven-
tion to correct and repair the wrong which
had been done our people and State.


The bearing Of the Convention was in the
highest degree impressive, practical, unimpas
stoned, but determined and emphatic.


Judge Egan, of Caddo, presided with charac-
teristic tact and self-poise. His speech was
an admirably lucid statement of our case. 1t
was in the highest tone of Louisiana patriot
and statesman. All its recommendations met
with the cordial approval of the assemblage.
SO, too, the report of Judge Kennard, from the
Committee of Seventy, proposing their pro
gramme for the action, and indicating the
chief points to be presented to Congress-.


These resolutions, with Mr.. Marr's exhaust
i've argument, which we are pleased to per-
ceive has been presented in pamphlet form,
embrace the whole scope of the action and
programme of the Convention. To give effect
to the same, to apply in an effective manner
the unanswerable facts and arguments herein
embodied, to the minds of the members of the
Convention, it was resolved to appoint six
commissioners to proceed to Congress to pre-
sent our case and the petition of the Conven-
tion. and also to raise committee of ways
and means to collect a sufficient sum to defray
the expenses of such commission.

A hasty perusal of this important
document we are sorry to say fails to
impress us with a very high opinion of
its merits. The people of the United
States have been for the past month in
what might be called state of ferment
over the great questions relative to the
Virginius affair, involving, as they do,
national honor and national rights, and
vet, i'm all fairness, we are of the Opln-
ion that the President has failed to
grasp the issues presented, and has
evaded duty of which both policy and
craftsmanship would have urged per-
formance. But the most remarkable
omission is the complete silence ON the
Louisiana case. Not syllable was
written bearing in the least on this,
the most important question now before
the country. On a righteous solution
of our trouble depends the future main
tenance of this Republic, and to this
gress will have to devote much time
and labor. 1t comes with % peculiar
significance to the people of a great
commonwealth, that the Chief Execu-
tive should entirely overlook their, not
appeal, but demand, for those funda
mental rights guaranteed by the organ
ic law of the nation. If a State is to
receive the cold contumely of silence
when it calls on the chief and co-ordi-
nate branches of the Government for
assistance in the preservation of our
institutions, the world should know it.
Recommendation for the survey of the
distant Amazon were not forgotten, but
Louisiana, her people and her rights
were neglected. The document will
do little credit to President Grant and
less to his Administration.
