Cupid laagbe aemaoh at territorial and aocinl liueeaa be does at lock- amitha. He eparea neither king, prince, poet nor peaianta. Daily fresh instances of tbia common place troth are coming to public notice. If any mortal can bo free from tbe mingled raptnree, doubts and pangs of love, it might be thought that a popular dwarf in a museum would enjoy that distinc tion^ He might find in tbe admir ation of tho crowd a substitute for tho “grand |>aaaion.” Bat that this in not always tbe case, let the following simple romance testify: A few weeka ago Mr. Robert Huzza, otherwise Major Little- who U M jMr. ot .g., 3 ^ b „ di lhe yem , 0 „ fssl u uJgkr 4aiu4 - U-A pounds, was exhibiting his mauly - : 7 * form iu Hartford, Conn. Among the thousands of admiring New Englanders who came to see him was one whom his quick eye singled out 2s ,tbe woman des tined to share bis sorrows, joys and fame. Their eyes met; from an inexplicable cause, the lady blushed and looked down. Ao in troduction followed, aud then a Sunday evening call. Suddenly, in the midst of a sedate conversa tion, the three foot Major fell at bis fair companion’s feet. He did not fall far, as the lady herself is but 3 feet 2 inches high. He seized E’er hand, and slowly at first, but more fluently as he pro ceeded, be told her that he loved her as devotedly as any six-footer could." ' Then, to me irw v»ww—ex pressive ph^aee, he “popped.” He did not pop IU vain, as witness the sequel, which took place yesterday afternoon at Bunnell's Brooklyn Museum, to which both the Major and Miss Ida H. Hosmer (that was the lady’s name) were at tached. The Major is there still, but Miss Hosmer is gone; her place is taken by Mrs. Littletinger. Au air of mystery, pervaded the Museum during the earlier portion of tbe day. Count Rosebud anil Barou Littletinger sighed when ever they looked in the direction of the Major aud Miss Hosmer. The tattooed man surveyed his highly decorated form and won dered when his turn would come, and the usually reserved fat girl hummed softly: “O Tttke Mu to Thy Heart Again.” With their accustomed ease and steadiness tbe company went through the af ternoon performances. Mr. Bun nell's face was wreathed iu smiles; but Manager Start was grave and silent. When the last curiosity left the stage the orchestra played the opening strains of Mendel sohn’s “ Midsummer Night’s Dream” overture. Major Little- finger and Miss Hosmer walked slowly to .the front of the stage. Tho Major was attired iu black with a sack coat. He wore a w hite tie aud immaculate kids. The lady was clad iu a robe of white nun's veiling trimmed with thread lace. A white tulle veil fell over her brown curls almost to her feet. She wore a wreath of orange blos soms. There was a sensation in the audience, followed by profound silence, as the fairy forms of Giant O’Brien and tbe Fat Woman ad vanced and took the stations of bridesmaid aod best man. Rev. Hugh Pentecost came from the wings, prayer book in hand. The notee of “Midsummer Night's Dream” died softly away, aud iu a reverent, solemn tone the clergy man began tbe marriage service. “Robert, wilt thou have this wo man to be thy wadded wife, to love, cherish aod keep her iu sick ness and iu health, in poverty and in riches, and leaving all others, cleave only unto her until death doth you part?” Iu a clear, positive voice the diminutive groom answered: “I will.” The same question, mu/alis mutandis, was put to the blushing bride. She responded softly: “I will.” It was a touching scene. The substantial form of tbe brides maid was shaken with sobs. The green decoration upot^ Giant O’Brien’s breast rose and fell like a Weehawken ferry boat in a heavy sea. Baron Littlefioger and Count Rosebud wept on each other’s necks. In a moment the ceremony was ended aud a sound like the report of a navy revolver echoed through the theatre that made tbe window sashes rattle aud the ga* jeta dance. Major Littletinger bad kissed his wife for (the reporter was informed) the first time. Then tbe company came forward, one by one, to offer their congratu- iatfoB a . _ After walking over the happy pair two or three limes, tbe brides maid kissed tba bride, and shook the groom’s bend ao heartily aa to lift him off bis feat. “May your shadow never grow leas,” said Giaat O’Brien. “It oaa't grow mnoh leas,” re plied the tiny Benedick. Mias Kingaland, the lady lecturer, gracefully wished tba couple modi Joy. “Many happy returns—I mean a thousand felicitations," said tba tattbdid’mao. ".'T"*’'-* 1 ' ■ "■ Manager Bunnell warmly wished the itUla couple saooeaa, aa did all tbe members of the company. Hie ladies of the Maoeum Paradoxical as the.assertion seems to the ordinary mind, uninformed as to the latest revelations of the mi croscope, there is no such thing as death in the sense of the extinction of life. Quantitatively, not* far from 5 per centum of the human body consists of matter, that actual ly lives: for according to Prof. Beale, though such tiwnes avoottcle, muscular fibre, the finger auiis, the hair, the bones, tendons, etc., con tain minute living particles, they are not living matter in the proper acceptance of the term, bat matter that has once passed through the condition of life and is on its way to resolution into such products as ammonia, carbonic acid, urea, aud so on; so that the question whether the contraction of muscle is really a vital action is one that cannot be decided ex cathedra. In 'point of fact, therefore, independent of the ■standard analysis of the body into waterjtnd other constituents, as laid down in the older text books, it is susceptible of a quantitative analy sis Of far deeper significance. At different ages there is some variation in the comparative quan tities of living and non-living mat ter in the human body7Tfte~fody in the progress of decomposition is an exact equivalent for the amount of living matter that it originally con tained. In other words, death, in fiha sense of extinction of life, is a fiction of our human senses, not a reality. The myriads of cells and cell groups 'have ceased to concur composed of two lives toterwoveo* together, but fundamentally distinct, in evidence of hie hypothesis. There is thus in the deepest facts of science indubitable evidence bf the existence of a higher spiritual and psychical being interwoven with our physical Uvea; and, if this sath is j i be so, death is but a translation - into a higher and more beautiful form of life. But it must not be forgotten that 4be same argument that applies to man appliea to the ant or fly that buzzes its little day and perishes. Why not?

Pork and bacon took a rise; corn, oats and hay were very dear; worst of all, cotton has been selling very low. Freights did not fall in proportion. It cost ns much as ever to bring a hundred weight of clear sides or green shoulders from St. Louis; it cost as much as ever to pick, tie up and ship a bale of cotton to New Orleans or Nor folk. The factorage, dray age, stor age and commission bills do appear to have shriveled any; the interest on the borrowed money holds its own ; but the pziae of cot ton has dropped from twelve to ten cefltk and, always excepting the noble thrill of victory, our cotton raiser would perhaps like to know< just where he comes in. It has been a great yeaf for the foreign buyers. They have been getting the finest of clean cottons at the very least of prices. They and the bears—who speculate and grow rich upon the bad luck and bad judgment of tbe planters—have accumulated enor mous profits.

Once upou a time a great com mander was told by bis generals that they bstf-tfuinr splendid vic tory, and he, after footing up the results very carefully, replied: “One more such victory and we are lost.” Is it not very much the case with the cotton grower? He has made a vast, an amazing crop. ■ He has strained the credulity and upset the calculations of mankind. But what has he gained by tbe transaction ? Has he settled with his merchant; has he stocked his granary and his larder, has he achieved financial in dependence? He sits there gazing at a desolate field with gates un hinged, at tumble-down stables and empty cribs, at hia comfortless dwell ing Sind haggard work stock. What to his share in this famous victory? He can go to the grocery on Sun day and boast with the neighbors of the unprecedented number of bales be has shipped, but when he gets home aod takes out hto accounts of sales returned from the metropolis, do tbe figures show that he has paid hto debts?
