i > MATBUCOXIAI. ADVERTISI3IU, - r - V .L-J * 'Some years ago the number of persons who, being anxious to marry, advertised for & husband or a wife, was very restricted; but in the present day con tinental ; papers especially contain numerous advertisements of the kind, and the services of matrimonial agencies sue less in request than they used to be. Ifarquisses, counts and barons make known their willingness to share their title with widows and spinsters having e mall fortune; yonng ladies with magnificent expectations offer them* •elves to eligible bachelors; and seeing H+qW this class of advertisements increases, it is to be surmised the plan is found to answer. ▲ French writer, however,‘Suggests something which he hk^ves might answer even better than tlPbewspeper marriage advertisement He l>n« noticed the quantity 6t cats. Wagons, and other vehicles crawling •JbQjg the principal Paris thoroughfares, wen lik up inside, and serving to call the attention of the public tc the Intect novelty in hats, the best house for per fumery, the most fashionable tailoring establishment, and so on. He gravely suggests that if the ladies and gentlo- m< n anxious to marry were to go about the city in luminous vehicles—with a printed catalogue of their requirements ppd offers"Well iu view—it would spare thi m the trouble of enumerating their personal attractions, age, and similar particulars, os well as the exchange of ph^togruplia and various other prelimi- hkry proceedings now indispensable. AN ANECDOTE. A prominent Methodist bishop asked President Lincoln, early in the war, wliat was to l)e his policy on the slavery question. ** Bishop.” said Mr. Lincoln, ••your question is rather ncocl one, but I will answer it by telling you ft stoTy. You know Father B., the old Methodist preavher, and yoti ! know I’o” River and Its freshets ? HTell, once fa fliiSfresenae of Father B., a young Methodist was woita ing about Fox River, and expres sing fears that he should be prevented ’from fulfilling some of his appointments by a freshet in the river. Father B. checked him iu his gravest manner. Said he: ‘Young man, I have always made it a rule in my life not to cross •Fox River till J get to it’ And," said the president, ** I am not going to worry iny.-elf over the slavery question till I get to it,” The bishop smiled but said nothing. A few days afterward a young Methodist minister c;dled on the presi dent, and on being precepted to him, simply said: “Mr. President, I have oonic to toll yoii that I think we have tot tb Fox River!" Mr. Liucolu thanked flie clergyman and laughed heartily, a<lding, with a smile, “Some of us have been troubled of late about the storief of corruption to be developed by inves tigations at Washington; but now we have got to Fox River, and it don” teem to be much of a storm after all.’ A TREASURY GIRLS ROMANCE. The story going the rounds of the press about the pretty Boston girl who bt’Came the wife of the late King of Portugal finds a parallel, though iu a less degree, in the marriage of a pretty government clerk of Washington. About ten years ago the name of Camilla Wood ford' waft borne on the rolls of the Treas ury Department as a Clerk in the Re demption Division. At that time Miss Woodford was scarcely eighteen years old. She was the younger member of •n old Southern family that had lost their fortune during the war, and. was a gentlewoman by birth and education. One day the Baron van. Havre, the Bel gian Minister, who was visiting the department, chanced to enter the room wjjere Miss Woodward sat. It was a jfcdso of love at first sight The Baron inquired her name, and, through the chief of the bureau, requested au in troduction. He called upon her several times, and at last proposed marriage. The lady then informed him that she already betrothed to a fellow-clerk iu the department Ho urged her to cancel the engagement, but sho declined, although admitting, had she met him first, that her answer might have been Hiff wout Finding her obdurate, the Baron resolved to leave America, hop ing iu the destructions of some European court to forget the pretty Yankee girl who had refused his suit Ho went to St. Petersburg, but within ninety deys frfetifriied to Washington again. Thid time the lady smilesj afore griusiously upon him and, iu tho end, consented to j become the Baroness van Havre Shortly after their marriage, which, I arii fold, has proved a remarkably happy one, they removed to Brussels, where they ktill • reside. What became of Miss Woodford's former sweetheart I have never heard, but he probably accepted the situation philosophically, as what poor devil of a Government clerk would not when ho had for a rival a young and handsome nobleman with au income of ijoJ.OOO a year. THE AUSTRALIANS. The inhabitants of tho continent of Australia have long been a puzzle to ethnologists. Of Negroid complexion, features, and skeletal characters, yet without the characteristic frii zly hair, their position lias been >v,no--;<if great thQfon^try to determine. They have, in fact', been a stumbling block iu the way of every system proposed. The solution supiMirted by many coii^ideu.ti.ns toe fVimtL./ to enter into here, appears to li« in’tho supposition that they are not a distinct race at all, that is, not a homo geneous group fovin&d by the gradual modification of one of the primitive stocks, but rather a cross between two already formed branches <fi these aiocts. According to this view Australia was originally peopled with frizzly haired Melanesians, such as those which still do, or did till the recent European inva sion, dwell iu tho smaller islands which turround the north, east, and southern portions of the continent, but t)Rit a strong infusion of some other race, prolmbly a low form of Caucasian Mel- auochroi, such as that which still in habits the interior of the southern parts of India, has spread throughout the laud from tho northwest, and produced b modification of tho physical cliaract- erp, esixKuully of tho hair. This influ ence did not extend across Bass's (Strait Into Tasmania, where as just said, the Melaueoioii' element remained in its fftmty. It is more strongly marked in tho northern and central parts of Aus tralia than on many portions of the southern and western coasts, where the lo wue'8 of tyjie and more curly hair, sometimes closely approaching to frizz- k’. show a stronger retention of the Melanesian eleme’ t^^T the evidence should prove Miflioiently strong to es tablish this view of the origin of the Australian natives it will no longer be correct to speak of a primitive Aus tralian, or even Australoid, race or type or look for traces of the former exist ence of snch a race anywhere out o* their own land. Seicml workingmen, some of then' without any work at present, seatei around a stove, which, likewise, had bu little work to do owing to ilie mildness of tho prevailing weather, were discus sing the interesting questions .of wages, dull times, and kindred matters. Saiu the one who did most of the speaking “I tell you isn’t enough. A man ought to got $3 a day at the least. If I was iu Congress I’d bring in a bill so that employers’d have to pay every mar, $3 for a day’s work ; no less than that. ” “It’s no use talking," said another, “ they couldn’t afford to pay that much. ” “Couldn’t afford it! Why, there’s a firm in this city that cleared over *2,000,- 000 last year. Do you mean to say the} couldn’t afford to pay $3 ? I know r. man that makes $20,000 a year and only pays his help $2 or $3 a week, with board, such as it is, not fit for a dog and a place to sleep in where the rats’l eat up your boots if you leave them on the floor at night” “You’d do the same if you got tin chance. If you wift a rich man you wouldn’t pay a darned cent more to your help than you had to. ” “Yes, I would. If a poor man asks me for a nickel to get something to eat do you think I give him 5 cents ? No Sir; I let him have a quarter.” “You? You wouldn’t give a man a pipeful of tobacco. ” “No,” answered tho former, hotly. “I won’t give tobacco to any one. 1 draw the line at tobacco. I’ve sworn off. If a man makes a practice of giving tobacco he is liable to be imposed on, and a ten-cent package won t last—” But the laugh that went round the circle made the remainder of his excul pa'ory remarks quite inaudible. TIIpOYV N AWAY ON THE WIDOW. Mrs. Belt whistle's husband had died and sire was crying over the coffin in a most fervid and impassioned manner. “Poor dear! poor dear?” said tin pastor sympathetically, patting her or. the back. “ We all have our crosses ti bear, sister, and the burden is lightened by tho helping hand of our loving Father. ” “ Boo boo ! boo hoo !” continued the grief-stricken relic. “Don’t cry; that won’t bring him back.” “ Boo hoo. I know it. I—I wouldn’t be crying if I thought- If I thought it would. I—I—I've got to do somethiug— boo boo—to keep up appearances. Go away. Let me weep. Boo hoo! boo hoo!” The pastor sadly didn’t have any further condolence to offer. A VENETIAN ROMANCE. In Venice, a young Englishman appeared every morning in the tobacco divan of Signor Alberti, bought the most expensive cigars, gave presents to the beautiful shop girl, and, so far as his lanky command of the Italian tongue allowed, paid assiduous court to hrr. Subsequently he presented her with his visiting card, on which va^ engraved Lord Rodney. Ho told her that he was staying at the Grand Hotel, had hired the entire first stage, and was dying for love of her. He asked her to be his wife, but wished that the mar riage might be performed secret)}’ end immediately, because he feared that if his aristocratic kiusfolk iu Eng'and gained any knowledge of his intentions they would move heaven and earth to hinder the union. The young lady told the story to her employer, and Signor Alberti p; itdently enough went tfrtbd Grahd'Hotel; made inquiries, and found that all the servants spoke of the gene rosity and wealth of the English noble man. He advised her to accept the splendid offer, and a day was fixed for the marriage. As the young lord did not turn up at the appointed time, Signor Alberta and the lady went to the hotel to find him. They found him in a white oravat cleaning his master’s boots. OZRTf .. J < ” —Oi TriE — THE— School < oiniiijdsioiier Sc •oof CoprufP . ... b OF • i A PKEUEUENUA UN ill*:. l>ALLOWS A funny airvxlofce connected with the Hon. Joe Blackburn’s first race for Con- grass was told tho other day. Joe hap pened to be passing through Owcnton, the county scat of Ov.cn County, on the occasion of the hanging of a noted criminal. : As a hanging is rather an exceptional episode id the State of Ken tucky, the honorable Joe concluded he would stop over a few hoars and witness the event The gallows was erected in the public square, so that no citizen, however humble, should lose an opportunity of witnessing the unnsoal spectacle. It was, in fact, a gala day such as the history of Owenton has seldom recorded. The Sheriff with true Kentucky, hospitality, invited Blackburn, as one of the distinguished guests present, to occupy a seat on the gallows. Blackburn did sow After the preliminaries had been arranged the Sheriff consulted his watch and dis covered that it was not quite 12 o’clock, the hour fixed for the execution. Turn ing to the prisoner, he said: “ You have ten minutes yet to live. Is there anything you desire to say iu the mean time ?” The prisoner sullenly replied there was net. At this instant .Blackburn sprang from his seat, and, advancing to the edge of the scaffold, said: “If the gentleman will allow me his remaining ten minutes I will lie glad to announce myself a candidate for your suffrages. If elected to Congress—” At this point the prisoner interjected: “Say, you! Is your name Joe Black burn >” “Yes, Sir," responded Blackburn, politely. Turning to the Sheriff, the prisonei said: “Wo won’t stand on a few min utes, more or less, when the alternative a presented of death on tho one hand <>r listening to one of Joe Blackburn’s long-winded speeches on the other. Flip the trap and let me go." The good-natured Sheriff obligingly “ li pped the trap,” and the next instant .lie desperado swung into eternity, vliilo Blackburn clambered down tin callows, exclaiming, as lie went, that In *:ad loct the greatest opportunity of hi-- I*e. ^ ^ i > ■ 1*EKACIIING AND PRACTICE.
