It is now thought that Congress wiR
Rer. Dr". Goto at the People s church
noantly speaking on “ Mistakes in
Conrtahife . too touch itnall-ialk t>o-
tween lorers. The subject of courtship
ia of importance to crery body. There
are j^snty-three references to it in tlie
8crip|Peit God has put on tho pipes of
. hh owp’book repeated threats and com
mands as to tho right performincc of the
duty of martiage. When wo look at the
newspapers and too the divorces, wo
know thero is something wrong socially.
“Now courtahip is the first step to
marriage, but lovers do not regird it in
ks true light* Aa lovers they talk too
much. They are not like the Indians,
who Chink that this gabble is an evidence
•f Wcakncaa in the head. Frankness,
outspoken ad«ico, generous sympathy
must tSk'c the place of this small talk
It is a disgusting' fact that tho palaver of
lovers is wone than the purring of cats.
I denounce the senseless twaddle which
< it now oall«d courting. A man ought to
straighten himself up when conversing
with tho lady he expects to make his
•wife, and with whom ho intends sharing
hit joys and sorrows. Women know a
thing of twp on this point, and even
giddy girts can admire n sincere, honest,
manly fellow, who seeks their love.
Lovers should not go round the question,
but come to it in a straightforward man
ner. Pou’t insinuate tfetngs to each
, bat speak boldly ef all that onght
bw known. If you are afhhd to speak
out squarely, go home and read your
Bible, and learn your duty. A nran
should know as mtSeh abpnt a woman
and a woman as much about a man be
fore marriage as after, and there would- L
bean end to divorcee and fewer dead
houses. Oh, the trieks and trap* of

The news in Northern papers indi
cates that there will be a strike of all the
trade unions and labor organizations
early in August. It is said that the
strike will embrace something like a
million of men. As a general rule, when
such movements are threatened, they do
not take place.

The steamer Colorado, which arrived
In' this city on Tuesday last, had on
MM a passenger who promisee to create
a profound sensation here, not only
amongthe medical fraternity, but among-
the public at large* It is a body six
years of age, and the formation of his
hee# and feet present the. rmW remark
ablofrcak of nature, undoubtedly, that
v^the World has ever seen. His head is
ahaptsd exactly like that of a rooster,
' with bHl, comb, wattles and feathers
complete. It is as large as the head of
an ordinary child of six years, and the
' features extended to the shoulders. Tho
1 bojr wears a jacket closely buttoned at
the neck, and presents the appearance of
a huge rooster clothed in the garb of hu
manity. There is absolutely nothing
about the bead to indicate that it is that
pf a human beitig, and it is as perfect a
production on a large seal j of that of a
member of the barnyard tribe as it is
possible to imagine.- The foot and low-
cr limbs, from the knees down, are also
of a rooster, although they are several
sixes larger than even those of the lar
gest Shanghai fowl. The hands are
thoeo of a huifthn being perfectly formed,
but abundantly larger. Except the
head, feet and lower limbs, the child has
a human development. During tho trip
up the river it was accompanied by its
fitber and mother, and was kept in their
state-room, except when it was occa
sionally taken on deck closely veiled for
a breath of fresh air.—St. Louis^Timcs.

according to location of rooms.

with selected Boston boef. The hotel

termined that this hotel shall not be

Thanking yon for past favors, and
hoping for a continuance of the same,

Grant said he didn’t care a “ damn ”
for the decision of tiro Supremo Court of
Soutli Carolina, and Sheridan says the
recent decision of the United States
Conrt in the case of Standing Bear is
" absurd and nonscnical,” and that be
will pay no attention to it until it is sus
tained by the Supreme Court. Little
Phil, should by all means have the sec
ond place on tho GranW ticket. The
country would then be certain to have a
strong government.
Dr. Mary Walker has gone over to
the rebels and revolutionists. She $p.
plaudod Senator Vance’s speech so loud
ly the other day that Mr. Anthony, who
was in tiro Chair, ordered her removal.
She declined to go unless Mr. Thurman,
the legal President pro tem., came after
her, and threatened the door-keeper with
the ferule of her trusty umbrella. She
remained mistress of the field, and mani
fested her admiration of the witty North
Carolinian by applause ad libitum.
The Indiana authorities, particularly
those in Terre Haute, have begun a
vigorous war on miscegenation. Last
week the grand jury indicted four colored
men and their wives for violating the
State law prohibiting tho intermarriage
of whites and blacks, and also the llcr-
ereqds Robert Jeffries and William An
derson,‘two of tiro most famous colored
preachers in the West, for marrying
these couples. These indictments have
created intense excitement among tiro
negro population of Indiana, os might be
expected.
Beecher expresses himself a? having
been so pleased by his reception in the
Southern cities which he 1ms recently
visited that be has arranged with the
lecture bureau under whose auspices he
makes his tours to plan a scries of lec
tures in the South the next season, which
he will deliver with the design of devot
ing all of the profits of the same to the
various Southern charities.- A great
many Southern charities do not want
Beecher’s money, and a great many
Southern cities do not desire the adukcr-
ous preacher’s presence.
The engineers of tiro Grant movement
are aakl to fear that the ex-Prcsidcnt
will return home from his travels too
soon. They wish him to protract his
stay in China or Japan, then take a trip
to thf Sandwich Islands, and wind up
with a jaunt in Mexico, so that he wiB
not reach California until next Spring,
when the Republican State Conventions
will begin to assemble, Ulysses may
disconcert their plan by entering the
Golden Gate this Summer. He is
doubtless tired of traveling and aoxitraa
to get back to his native land and li
quor.
