of the family were present and a uni

occasion, Inasmuch us it was invested
with an air of romance that is rarely
over met in tbe usual prosy matrimon

few hours ago assumed the buns, al
though having heeu engaged for nine
months, bad never Been each other,—
und never known 'the bliss that’s in ci

hero, who was on tue N<dcb-tower jof

him as hi-* •'sweetheart,” but It wa«
itot until a month afterward that he
began the corrcBpoudcnco which has
been consummated unde*r ftucb happy
circumstances. The couple, not know

to unmask. They then exchanged

of the other Indians retaining their

noticed that ns ttrwas perceived that*
no other Indiafts wished to follow the
example of Colorow, two Utea arose
from their seats in the council room
and went out and commenced talking
to the Indians outside, who immedi

Ouray’s respect for the President Is
due to his thinking that he la the
Great Father elected by and ruling
over the world. In one of his Speech

the fact plainly that be considered

-Although Republican In politics.’
Philadelphia has many citizens who
are true to Democratic principles, and
even the Republicans are not so radi
cal in their views as we of the South
are wont to Imagine. If the section,
allmatod by the uofortunutfi struggle,
knew the real condition of each other
at home, without being prejudiced by
unscrupulous politicians, mucli of the
bitterness would disappear and strife
would soon cease. Then all could
look upon the Union as » common
country, and Us citizens wbehever
found as brethren commbn an

How do You Account for ThU ?
In tbe lodge the Marshal Is directed
to retire totheante-rootn to Introduce
Bill Smlthers and Tom Brown, In lan
guage somuthing like the following i
“Brother Marshal, you will retire to
the anto-room and respectfully inform
his High’ Mightiness the Most Puis
sant William Smlthers and the bis In
effable Potency the Very Venerable
Thomas B own that this reverent body
awaits the distinguished honor of their
Irradiating presence.” Then tbe Mar
shal goes out and says, “All ready,
BUI; come, Tom, hurry up.” In the
army, on the contrary, this order, was
reversed, like this: Gen. Bornbastes
ells outlo iiis aid, “ flo dovm f the
f,
orks of the road—and go as though
the old boy was after you—and ask
Col. Bordnot what in he means,
so long getting Into line 1” -Awny goes
the aid on tbe gallop, which moderates
first into aeoher trot and then a walk
as hs nears Col. Bordnot, whom bo
adresses with great formality, saying,
“Colonel, Gen. Bornbastes sends bis
compliments, and 'desires that you
move your regiment up into line as'
speedily as possible.”

Innwlt to the American Flag;.
It seems hard to realiz' tho fact
that the display of a United States
flag over a building in London should
call out any opposition and stir up tbe
angry feelings of a mob. Yet such
seems to be tbe case. There hns’been
tqdablisho'l in London an institution
caThjd the American Exchange, where
Americans In Europe may consult
home newspapers, leave their address
ed, obtain Informal ion about routes of
travel, etc. Over this building occupi
ed by this exchange the proprietors
last mouth hoisted Yhe atars and
stripes. Tlfereupqg tlte dwners of the
building gave uotlt'e that thd^sg was
objectionable aud directed its removal.
To this the tenants paid no atterithm,
and they were then told that if tke v
fl.tg Was nut taker^dowu lt would be
removed by force. This threat was
carried out. Thereupon the fl ag was
replaced, and the. owners of tho build
ing, being refused the assistance of
the High Court of Chancery In support
of their opposition, again foreltdy re
moved It, being sustained, report says,
by a mob-wko trampled tbe flag under
foot. Tho chlldiahuess of such opposi
tion Is pitiful. If a dozen Englishmen
chose to hire buildings in this or any
other American city aud to advertise
their nuducss by displaying the fltg
of their nation they would not even
find Fenians enough to oppose them.
Indeed, a monument to a British spy
has been erected In this country with
out exciting any hostile demonstration.
What is the spccial cause which now
excites English antipathy to tht stars
and stripes we do not know, wor is It
likely ti at any one will find out.—New
