Two wrongs never yet made a right,

why republicans should steal now. And
the fact that a few stupid men made

should disregard such of the action of
that body as wns wise and deliberate,

the North, j We know the people ol the
North thrTi.ughly. That they wore to a
certain extent jealous of the South, in
former days, wo rcsdily admit. That
they are so now, we deny. The mis
fortunes of the South, of lute years,
have moved the minds of the frank and
ponerou6, men of the-North,to kindlier
feelings toward their brothers who sit
nearer to the sun'. They see with infinite
regrst that the p rty which originated in
th e nobh st and purest of principles is
controlled, among us, by the most base
and ctrrupt'of all base and corrupt poll -
ticans.
And our Nirthcru friends* demand,
as they have a right to demand, that
the party whose foundation ar.d success
hava cost them such troasures of limo ,
of monoy and sf bfood, shall not be dis .
graced and ruined by those for whose

A Romance of tlie While House
the "old, old story"?why pres!
dent huchanan never married.
Many years ago a lawyer in the
Quaker City, poor and unknown to fame,
fell in love with a beautiful young lady
of Baltimore, and his lovo being recipro
cated, an engagement ensued.
The mother of the young lady, how
ever, did not view the engagement with
satisfaction or plonsuro. Indeed, she
herrtily disapproved of it, for- tho young
lawyer was altogether too' poor and
obscure to marry into ono of the wealth
iest and moBt aristocratic of Baltimore
families. This, at least, was the opin ?
ion of the young girl's mother, who,
being very ambitious and correspond
ingly preud, desired that her daughter
should wed some person* prominent
either in this or some other country.
She brought all her influence to boar
upon tho girl, and did all she possibly
could to induce her to give up her
lover, but failing she resorted?an
mothers have done'before?to deception
and other contemptible means to break
off tho engagement. Loiters were inter
cepted, hadwriting imitated, servants
bribed and falsehoods circulated pro- [
miscuously. Tho natural and inevi
table result was that a misunderstand-,
ing arose between the betrothed for
which neither in reality was responsible.
One day tho lawyer received a note
writton in the handwriting of his fiance,
accompanied by a packet of lottors and
a box of trinkets. Tho'note stated that
the writer had, upon careful consider
ation and thought, decided that she did
not love him as a woman about to be
In? wifo should, and for this and other
reasons begged to be released from her
engagement. ?'
The brow was a hard one, and for a
leng time tho lawyer felt tho offocta
acutely. Under tho impression that ho
had been jilted because ho was poor and
unknown, he determined to bocomo rich
and famous, and forthwith commenced
his "noble life." How well he succeeded
the nation knows, for in 184?he was
made Secretary of State, Minister to
England, and a few years latter was
elected President of the United States.
Mennwhile his first love married n
very rich merchant of Philadelphia,
much against her own will and only at
tho earnest and repeated solicitations of
her mother. 1 Tho- marriage was not a
happy one, for the wife neither loved
nor respected her busbund. Her cup
of bitterness was f?ll when she heard of
the election of her lover as President,
and her mother's eup was quite brer
flowing. She plunged into social dis
sipation in tho hope of forgetting her
sorrows. For two or three se aions she
was ?ho talk <bf the Quaker City, where
?nie went to I reside with her husband,

Miss JennieV Johnston had becjf^f
pupil at the Augusta Female Summary
for the session^previous to last summer.
Her father and sister oime on during
tho summer season and the vacation of
school, stopping at tho Virginia hotel.
MiHS Johnston remained at the hotel
with them during their stay, and when
they left, rctuVno 1 to the Seminary .
Shortly after ? tho departuro of Mr.
Johnt.vm. a yb.u.ug man nrrivod in this
city, registered*' at one of tho hotels,
aud going to^flr^'Setninarr, cillel for
Miss Johntsonf pasting himsel?"olf as
her.cousim
Mr. Wilcox, the gnu tic man referred
to n short, time after this, went to tiic
city clerk'b office and applied for a mir
riagc license, giving his own name and
that of Miss Johnston as the parties
The clerk was ah.-ent in (.Jeor^ia and
the yo"ng gentleman who was acting as
deputy, being imposed upon by tho
statement of the applicant, issued tho
licouse. Miss Johnston and Mr. il
cox met on the street during that or
the following day, walked to the Metho
dist pnrsonage, presented the license,
Were married, and homing out of the
house separated, going iu different dir
eetions. This occurred in Augusta.
Nothing was thought of it at the time,
nor wcro there any suspicions at tho
Seminary that any occurrence of the
kind had taken place, until rcccutly,
when Miss Johnston, conBding in one
of her schoolmates, stated that she was i
married, and the circumstances of it.
This coming to the attention of the
school authorities, the matter was
quietly investigated, and Mis Johnston's
father wns summoned by tolcgraph. He
came to Staunton immediately, and re
turned to New Orleans with his
daughter.
Wo learn that Mr. Johnston stated
that tho young man had at one time
p; id attention to his daughter, but that
after she had been entered as a pupil ut
tho school, ho had thought no more of
it, not knowing, indeed, that Mr. Mr.
Wiloox hud beon out of New Orleans.
While regretting exceedingly the
clandestino marriage he attached no
blamo to any one but his daughter,
whose conduct in taking so important
a step, in life, without his consent,
pained him. He further remarked that
ho should endeavor to make the most
out of it, and do all in his power to
contribute to tho prosperity and happi
ness of the strangoly wedded pair.
Wibox chose a very opportuno titno
to make his visit. It was during vaca
tion, whon the school discipline wub re
laxed, and the youug lady regarded
simply ns a boarder, and not a scholar,
subject to the strict rcgimo of the somi
nnry. He adroitly arranged his visit so
as not to appear importunate, and so
conducted himself, so far as the Princip
al of tho Seminary was aware, as to
croato the impression that it was a pass
! ing visit of respect from a near relative.

The "Get up" of the' Wife of a
Millionaire.
A DIAMOND SHOW.
Mrs. Astor, tlie wife of tlie hundred
millionaire of Now York, appeared at a
party which she gave at lier fifth aven
ue residence one evening last week, in
a style that would justify any reporter
in saying that she "literally blazed all
over with diamonds." On each of hor
shoulders she had four star*, tho si/.o of
silver half dollars, made of diamonds,
llcr hair was set very thickly with dia
monds, and her head scorned aflame with
them. There was a diamond baudau
upon her brow. She had diamond
car-rings, and a diamond necklace of
magnificent proportions. Upon the two
sides of her che.<t were two circles of
diamonds about the size of the palm of
the hand. From them deepened lines
and curves of diamonds reached to h ;r
waist, round which she wore a diamond
?girdle. On the skirts of her dress in
front wero two large peacocks, wrought
of lines of diamonds.
There were rosettes of diamonds on
her slippers. There wero diamonds,
largo or small, in every variety of form ,
all over her dress and person, whereever
they could he artistically pla ted. She
presented an extraordinary and dazzling
spectacle, as sho moved languidly
through the danoe, among her friends '
One of the ladies prcsont, a connoisseur
in precious stones, win kept e ml enough
to take practical observation, says the
diamonds she wore could not have cost
less than a million dollars, and must
have represented her husband's income
for at least a quarter of a year. This
same lady, who is familiar with court
life iu Europe, says that tho largest cd
lection of diamonds iu the possession of
any European Km press or Quicti, be
longs to the present (lernian Empress,
but, she adds, even Augui-ta herself
could not make a diiuinud show which
would begin to compare wi'h that made
by Mrs. Astor on Thursday o von in.* of
. last week. In these b ird times the As
I tors arw occasionally liberal in thoir beno
i facti ins. For instance, there was a ban
quet for twenty lour given at the Astor
! mansion thcofh -r day, mi l in frout of
each lady's plate there was a gift, for
her <S a costly hnnlnnin!rrr., equtsitcly
wrought with precious a i 1 ab > it

each lady wan.also pres jiit-d wiihi b in
