I)t nlils, who had chosen to gratify his own
wishes and tastes by contracting a second
marriage, found it necessary, in the inter

new home for himself elsewhere. The lady
in the case had not apparently been guilty
of any greater offence against the young
man than he chore to see in her succession

was suilleient reason for her exhibition to
wards him of a demeanor not warmly ma
ternal and for his own consequently in
creased prejudice against her. Second
marriages do not often please first children,
as a prophetic instinct of jealousy seldom
fails to make the latter keenly distrustful
of the most amiable possible circumstances
t-f tlie former ; and in common natures this
wary imtinct of antagonism requires little
or no immediate irritation to develop it into
an element of chronic opposition, destroy
ing all harmony in a household. Young
Dodds would have disliked and slighted his
step-mother had she been the meekest and
most conciliatory of her sex ; and as she
happened to have a will of her own, and a
very prompt temper for the assertion of her
prcregativesand privileges in her husband's
house, he was aggressively at war with her
from the first day of her domestic author
ity. The husband and father bore this un
fortunate state of affairs patiently so long
as he could, and then vindicated his own
. authority by the paternal ultimatum above
noted. His son eluse, thereupon, to leave
home, and declaied that he would seek his
future fortune in California ; but, before
pas ting, determined to give one last j roof
of hostility to his step-mot her. Icdd.s, the
elder, with the rather reluctant consent of
his wife, had elecided to give a home to the
oil han daughter of a half-brother named
"Wilson, who had lately died in Detroit,
and the young man resolved to warn this
eomir.g young lady, whom he had never
yet seen, of the kind of treatment which
he thought she might expect from the sec
ond Mrs. Di:dds. Accoulingly, on the eve
of his departure from home, he r.eldiessed
t Miss Wilson a letter of compassionate
chivalry, advising her to be on her guard
againr-t the 'female intruder,' whose dom
ineering disposition,' as he phrased it, had
compelled him to leave the paternal roof,
and inviting Lcr to depend upon his sym
pathy and friendship when she should have
proved the truth of his forebodings in her
behalf. His letter, written rather from
spleen against one woman than because of
any definite sentimental inclination toward
another, was received by the orphan in
Detroit as a most noble mineled and disin
terested oliering of friendship, and pre
pared her to admire extravagantly the ex
iled writer and feel a very different senti
ment toward the lady supposably ftccasion
ing the exile. Thus very naturally preju
diced, Miss Wilson became an inmate of
her half-uncle's house soon after the de
part tue of her half-cousin for the Paeilic
coast, aud entered iqion her new social re
lations with such a strong predisposition
1 ai;aiii:,t Mis. DoilJs as was sure to invite
no very cordial feeling in return. Here,
as may be seen, was a fresh opening for
household discord. The step-mother, find
ing the yming lady disposed from the first
to be uncongenial with her, and displaying
a part icularly provoking air of incredulity
at any casual mention of the absent stm's
ungracious behavior, soon assurteel her own
dignity by adopting a demeanor equally
uncompromising. Consequently it elid net
take long for the adopted orphan to dis-
j cover that the warning which she had re-
ccived before leaving Detreiit hatl only
leen too well founded, and to pine, at the
thought that she hael no choice but to re
main in a home where she was unbelovcd.
The head of the house, noticing this second
disagreement of elements in his home life,
and ncit at all aware of the letter his son
had volunteered to his niece, was rather
. unfortunate than otherwise in his early ef
forts to make the two ladies agreeable to
each other, and sixm abstained from all
; attempted meeliation. Despite all this,
however, as neither the step-mother or the
adopted tlaughter was a person of actually
i unamiable eljsposilion, there might possi
! bly have ensued a better understanding in
the little family but for an unexpecteel let
ter from the California exile. Not eleign
ing to write to the sire who had permitted
! him to go away from home on account of
I a new w ife, that self-w illed wanderer chose
' to address his unseen half-cousin enice more,
; and that too in a strain of magnificent in-
jury and melancholy. He did not know
when he wrote whether she felt enough in
i terest in his existence to even "carewheth-
er he did well or ill, lived or died," but as
he could not help thinking that she must
be as unhappy as himself, there might pos
sibly be a sympathy between them to which
he might trust for, occasional response to
his natural yearning for a few words from
his old liome. Driven thence as he had
been by the "domineering disposition of a
heartless female interloper," he had yet
puceeeeled in eloing passably well in Cali
fornia, aud was engaged in the wine busi-
ness at San Jose. If, "in pity for a ban
ished son," Miss "Wilstn would only drop
him a few lines thither to tell him that his
father was well and that she herself was
not so unhappy under "domestic tyranny"
as he feared she must be, she would confer ;
a lasting favor upou the most disconsolate
of men. Miss Wilson could not conceal
from her guardians that their "victim"
was her correspondent, nor very well an- '
swer Mr. Dodds' surprise that she would
have been invited to postal correspondence
by his eccentric son, but after some consid
eration she decided that they must not '
read the lackadaisical epistle for themselves. ;
Its mention of the "heartless female inter
loper" w as enough of itself to forbid that,
anil might have made the affair altogether i
an awkward inflict ion not only for the
young lady herself but for her sentimental :
complacency under it. There was romance j
in the idea of corresponding under such j
circumstances with a half-cousin whom she J
had never seen, ami to make it more ab
sorbing there must be a community of mys
tification and misery about it. So after
merely informing her scarcely satisfied ,
adopted parents that their son had written
to ask he r if they were ail well, and request
a line from her on that subject in response,
she straightway jiemied to the wine mer
chant, in San Jose a reply letter of the most
desolate description. He was unhappy, she J
was unhappy, we were unhappy, you were
unhappy, they were unhappy. Such was !
about the substance of her missive, aud J
very cheerful it must have been to the
young man to whom it was sent. He re
sponded appropriately, she wrote again
similarly, and the interchange of wretche d
ness was an established system. This ar- !
i
rangement did not make the young lady's
domestic situation any pleasanter, as Mr.
Dodds, taking umbrage at his son's neglect
ef himself, now took sides with his wile,
as he had not done actively before, and be- !
gan treating his ward coolly. The hitter J
elid not fail to confide this new misery to
her sympathetic correspondent, who was
thereat inflamed to vehement champion
ship; and all four of the partners of this
w I'or.g-heaeleel, ludicrous family quarrel
were discoinlitted accordingly. Fatuity
rather than wickedness being the root of j
the whole trouble, foolishness rather than I

have been. At a crisis in the mailed mis- j
ery of the two jwistal su.Terers, tlie Califor- ,
nian revealed to his sister in affliction that '
her letters and sorrows had produce el an j
inc-fi'aceable impression upon his heart anel
that he could never know peace again in
this world if she would not consent to fly
from the intolerable despotism of her un
happy home anel give him the right to pro
tect and cherish her henceforth as his wife.
They had never seen each other yet, but a
correspondence of years had made them
better known to each other than all the. j
spoken words in the worlel might have '
done, and if she could but summon cour- i
age, based upon implicit confidence in him,
to come to him to California, and there ac
cept him as her husband, they might le !
happy yet. For some time the girl's mai- I
deiily instinct shrank from this decisive
prtiHsitioii. and many more letters came
and went on the subject ; but nt last, driv
en desperate by the increasing ceun plica
tions of her self-made discomfort at home,
she yielded to the persistent entreaties of
her persistent lover. Quarterly payments
came to her from her late father's estate.
n.il o,.ti veooi-nioflr tbo latest of these she
took secret leave of the Dodds homestead
in Michigan aud fled by the Pacific railroad !
i
to the proffered welcome ef her long time .
corresonilent. The Sacramento Union, j
giving the sequel, says : . t
"The railroad telegram published yester
day announced, among others, the name
of Miss Emma Wilson, of Michigan, in the
list of coming oveiland passengers. Yes
'erday, at noon. Miss Wilson was met at
the Hoseville station by 1. D. Dodds, who
had come from San Jose to meet her, anel j
telegraphed a clergyman from Kocklin to i
be present. While the greater number of
the passengers were at dinner, Mr. Dodds
and Miss Wilson were married in the car.
The clergyman returned to Kocklin and
the married couple, upon the arrival of the
train at Sacramento, took a boat for San j
Francisco."
It may be added as a pleasing conclusion
to this scarcely more natural than comic
romance of real life, that upon the arrival
of the pair in San Jose, about nine tlays
ago, the husband found there a letter from
his father, which had been written imme
diately after the flight tif Miss Wilson, and
with an evident comprehension of the di
rection anel the pui jtose of her elopement.
It must have been a communication full of
fatherly common sense and eminently effi
cient to develop the same neglected faculty
in the recipient ; for the latter, according
to further local chronicle, while not relin
quishing his prosperous wine business, is
making preparations for a speedy visit with
his bride to his olel home in Michigan, and
the freedom with which he tells his love
story to everyboely for the apparent pur
pose of having the more frequent opportu
nities to declare that he has acteel like a
fool towards his old folks, gives ample
proof that he has reconsidered his step
mother, and found that lady to say th
least as much sinned against as sinning.
The Coacltnalcra' Journal says : A"
young man, well dressed and of prepos
sessing appearance, called at our ofUce re
cently and inquiretl in great earnestness if
we had employment of any kind to give
him for but a few days, if for no longer,
as he was a stranger in the city, out e f
money and unable to pay for few days'
board and lodging. He further stated
that he was a book -keeper, but after dili
gent search lie had found no one who want
eel any help in that line, nor coulel he ob
tain employment at anything that he flt
competent to perform in a satisfactory
manner. The positions of a clerk and
book-keeper, he remarked, weie all filled,
and applicants ftr them far in excess of
the demand. "I am sorry," saielhe, "that
I did not learn a trade."
The appeals of the young man excited
our sympathy, but, requiring no further
assistauce in tlie office, we were compelled
to reply to his eager questionings that we
cmld not employ him.
The door closed after him and he again
went out to continue what, in all proba
bility, proved to be a fruitloi-s search for
employment. But his words lingered be
hind him, and as we sat musing on them,
recalled to mind the oft-repeated expres
sions of the mechanic in which he reproves
himself for want of foresight in selecting
an occupation. Here I am eloomed, he
says, to toil in a shop at work which is
hard, affording but poor pay. Like a dog
I must come at the call of a whistle, or like
the servant obey tlie summons of a bell ;
had I studied book-keeping or entered a
store as a clerk, I mi:Tht have been lead
ing an easier and more pleasurable life.
In the eases cited, we find each one dis
satisfied with his selections, and wishing
to exchange places. And the difficulty at
or.ee presents itself as how we shall decide
for them awd the classes they represent, so
the seeming mistake may be remedieel.
We acknowledge we are unequal to the
task.
Food, clothing, tools, machinery, houses,
ships, and an almost endless variety of
other things are continually in demand,
which requires the labor of farmers and
mechanics ; while that class which makes
exchanges (merchants) is, of necessity,
comparatively few in number, and, there
fore, needs but a small force of assistants.
The necessaries of the millions of earth re
quire by far the largest number of per
sons to be employed in agriculture and
manufactures. When ever then, through
pride or any motive, parents disregard the
law anel encourage their sons in seeking
situations as clerks, book-keepers, etc.,
rather than to cng-ge in those pursuits for
which there is always a natural demand,
there must be a corresponding amount of
suffering as a penalty. Hence we find the
so-called respectable occupations are glut
ted, while the mechanical branches are
suffering through the lack of skilled labor
ers. An advertisement for a clerk will
bring to the eloor a small army of appli
cants, of all sizes and ages, while the want
column may plead several days for a gocal
mechanic, and fail to meet with a response.
"Sony he did r.ot learn a trade." Let
apprentices and journeymen who may be
bewailing their lot at once resolve to thus
repine no longer, but by hard study and
close application master their trades and
having done so, demand a fair compensa
tion. Tj.... l . j- n.ll -ol. ;j i.
and punctuality and economy in expendi
tures, there neeel be no fear that they shall
be compelled at any time to beg for suffi
cient employment to pay for a day's board
and lodging.

joyed by both parties, but since the elec

a one-sided arrangement, and that side not

The following good joke furnished by the
Chester Atlnoe.ite, being of the pre-election
class, will, however, a fiord amusement to
all who appreciate a good thing, no matter
what their politics, and especially so as it
bears the impress of truth. Just which
party the joke hits the hardest we leave
the reader to determine for himself:
On Saturday night, Dr. Hutchinson and
Thomas Y. Cooper were elovvn on the bills
for Hepublican sitecches at Pho bixviHe,
and both went by way of the Heading ia:1
road. Mr. licit, chairman of the Chester
county committee, hr.tl proeuretl ti aspor
tation f.n- them at West Chester, but, not
fintling them on hand, sent Oliver Sid weii
and Win. Windle, Ksqs., of Chester coun
ty, to till their places at the meeting. The
hall at Pht-piiixville hael been engaged by
the Republicans, and Coiqter was busy
talking away, while at the same time a
Democratic meeting was under way oik;
square below at Plni-nix hotel. About 8
o'clock Sit! well stuel Windle rapidly drove
up to tho iiieetin; at tlie hotel, and were
received on tlie sidewalk by the chairman,
who askeel them if they hail been sent as
additional speakers, and when informed
that they were, said that Hon. J. li. Ras
kin had just closed, and that he would in
troduce one of them as soon as the band
ceased playing. Wintlle was acetoidingly
introduced and went on with his speech,
w hile Sitlwell entered the bar to await his
turn. While there he asked one of the 1 xr.l
politicians what woulel suit the Pheenixvil
iians, and was requested, particularly re
epiested, to show "that the interests of the
South and those of the laboring men of the
North were identical." "While Sidwell was
scratching his head and wondering how in
the world he could work out such a prob
lem, in inshed an excited man from tlie
platform. "Whesthat talking out there?"'
he inquired ef Sitlwell. "Whv, that's Win

whom we are told the following anecdote :
On Sunday, the loth ult., Mr. Newman's
little boy, nine years old, strayed away,
anel was missing for about two hours.
The mother went out of doors and called
to him, when the dog, in response, ran up
the shore with the hoy's wet cap in his
mouth, and signified by his actions that he
desired her to follow him. The nmthcr,
al arme-d, calleel the father, who was sleep
ing in the house, and they followed tho
elog as quickly ?s possible.
Down by the shore, on a rock, the lit
tle boy was lying insensible, his clothes
wet, as if he had been dragged from the
water. Aftor long efforts, in which the
dog rendered all the assistance he could
in his mute way, the boy was resuscitated,
and afterwards told his story. He was on
the beach gathering shells, when a large
wave came in and carried bin off in the un
dertow. The dtg jumped in after him,
but the wave prevented him from reach
ing the boy for some minutes.
He seized him by the leg of his trowsers
and tried to drag him ashore, but the
cloth tore in his teeth ; and the boy said
that he had an indistinct recollection of the
dog coining down below the surface for hiin
again ; and that was the last thing he was
conscious of. It seems that the dog had
diaggeel the child up on the rock out eif
the reach of the waves, and had trieel to
restore him. When he heard the mother
call be took the cap to inform her, as well
as he could, of the affair, aud hasten assistance.

it frightened them. The editors had their
eyes in a chronic state of mourning. But
they were game anel kept up the war, until
erne tlay a long-bodied, broad-shouldered,
double listetl Democrat, named Jim Moore,
stalked into the editorial sanctum and made
the novel proposition of being published as
the resjtonsible editor.
"You ain't up to these whig fellers, you

This was novel but pleasing, and James
was eluly installed in tlie inst he soliciteel.
Not long after an inspired blacksmith or
eloquent thinker, addressed the hard cidcr

elTcct that our quiet town was startled and
alarmed by a strange noise that broke out
with great violence, on Saturday last, near

discovered that the unhealthy bellowing
came from a stray long ears that had w an

disagreeable beast would do well to capture

"Where's the eelitor of this nigger baby's

editor, turning over the exchanges aud
scarcely h Hiking at the indignant intruder.
"You be ! I want the eelitor, I say."
"Well, well, well," cried Jim, with dig

trudeel upon by a fellow beneath his notice,
"I'm the 'sponsible editor."
"No yeu ain't 1" chorused the crowd,
"you're only Jim Moore."
"Don't try to fyol me," foamed the era

pointing at the somewhat personal para

that 'you are a liar ! You're a liar any

not again disturbed.

A little before midnight, Saturday, Pa
trolman Monekton, of the First precinct,
found a young man who was afterwards
ascertained to be one William Lewis, ef
Port Byron on Water street in a terrible
condition. He was raving altout the street,
frothing at tlie mouth, and had attacked
several jioople and bitten one man whos
name we ditl net learn. 31 on ck ton sum

necessary to convey Lewis to the station
house, his struggles were so fearful ami
the elanger that he would bite some one so
great, as ho was constantly snapping at
those about him. Ineleed, a hand cart
had to be procured, and he was bound in
this as the best method of transporting

This was found to be congenital, ai d
not an artificial variation from the general
human type, since the hcael was not en
larged in other ehreetions to accommodate
the brain, as is the case with the Indian
trilies who compress the heatl as a fa.-hiem-able
distinction. The brains ef these men
must have been exceptionally small, and
in fact the eliscovcry is of a variety so far
removed from those heretofore known as
to afford ene of the most remarkable con
tributions yet made to the data of Darwin
ism, Attention has been calleel before to the
existence of some such nice ; but the
know ledge of it w as vague anel the facts
presented by Professor Foster are contra
wise so ample that they ccme with the ef
fect of a new discovery. The size ef the
brain cavity is not stated, but it seems prob
able from the general elimeusious given
that it is proportionately less than in many
brute tjtnrr'i. Those who object to the

he was securely pinioned to a jxist in the
outer room. Here his struggles continued
for alMHit two hours, anel they were most
frightful. Frothing at the mouth was con

other eliscordant sounds, his eyes turned
green, and in every resjtect he showed
that lie was in a severe hydrophobia tit.
There was nothing to Ikj done for bim,
and in the course of two hours the fit left
him, and he came to his senses.
He then stated his name and resilience,
and said that six years ago, in Montana, he
had been bitten in the foot by a cayede,
or prairie elog. Subsequently, from time
to time, he hael been subject to such at
tacks as that of Satm day night, and iu
the course of one of them had bitten his
own brother, and the brother had since Wen
similarly aflticted. He inquireil whether
he hael bitten anybody this time, anel when
