James' Mat/az Inc A True American Story The ancestors of the good people of the united States went to that country ostensibly to escape the persecutions of uristocratie Englund, but alas! for the Incon istency of human nature, they were far from abandoning aristocracy when they left their mother country. They Look it with them, together with all Its accompanying notions and ab surdities, and have left it to their chil dren, an inalienable legacy, which they seem to be trying to Increase everyday. In the days of the good colony of Vir girda the distinctions between the rich and poor were based upon laws which, like those of the Medes and Persians, altered jot. One of the most devout followers of this code was a wealthy planter, living in w hat is known as the Northern Neck. 11, was in all other respects a frank, open-hearted, manly gentleman ; but his estimate of his fel low inen wits founded upon the princi ples which governed his selection of his horse—blood. Wealth, too, was by no means an unimportant feature with l le had our human weakness, and like all of us, was Influenced more than he ever believed, by pounds, shillings and pence. This Mr. G. had quite a large family, and umoug them was a daughter whose beauty was the stand ing toast of the country. She was just eighteen and building into lovely wo manhood. Not only was she beautiful in person, but an amiable disposition and many accomplishments made her still more attractive, and half the gen tlemen of the Northern Neck were al ready sighing for her love. There was in the country at this time a young man who was already rising in the esteem of his neighbors. He came of a poor family, and was, as yet, a poor young surveyor, who had taught him self his profession, and who spent much of his time In traveling unknown for ests, with nothing but his compass for his guide, and his chain for his com panion, locating lands and settling dis uted titles. He was a model of manly beauty, and excelled in all the various feats of strength in which the olden time Americans took such pride. He was calm and reserved and there was about hint dignified sweetness of de meanor:that accorded well with hisfrank independence of character. He was a `great favorite with all who knew him, and there was no gathering to which lie was not asked. Mr. O. seemed especially to like the young man, and it was not long before he insisted that the latter should aban don all ceremony in his visits to him, and come and go when he pleases. The invitation was hastily given, and as promptly accepted. The young man liked the planter, and he found the society of the beautiful Mary G. a very strong attraction. The result was that he was frequently at the planter's resi dence, so frequently, indeed, that Mrs. G. felt called upon to ask her husband if he did not think it wron, to permit him to enjoy such unreserved intercourse with their daughter. He laughed at the idea, and said he hoped his daughter knew her position too well to allow any thing like love for a poor surveyor to blind her duty to her family. Nevertheless, Mary G. was not so hilly impressed with conviction of duty as was her father. She found more to ad mire in the poor surveyor than all her wealthy, aristocratic suitors; and, also, before she knew it, her heart passed out of her keeping and was given to him. She loved him with all the honesty and devotion of her pure heart, and she would have thought it a happiness to go out with him into the back woods and share his fatigues and troubles, no matter, how much sorrow they might bring her. Nor did she love in vain. The young man, whose knowledge- of the world was afterwards so great, had not then learned to consider as binding the dis tinctions which society drew between his position and that of the lady. He knew that in all that makes a man, in integrity and honesty of purpose, he was the equal of any one. He thought that except in wealth he stood upon a perfect equality with Mary G., and he loved her honestly and manfully, and no sooner had he satisfied himself upon the state of his own feelings than he confessed his devotion simply and truth fully, and received from the lady's lips the assurance that she loved him dearly. Scornful to occupy a doubtful position or to cause the lady to conceal aught from her parents, the young man frank ly and manfully asked Mr. G. for his daughter's hand. Very angry grew the planter as he listened to the auda• cious proposal. lie stormed and swore furiously, and denounced the young man as an ungrateful and impudent upstart: ' My daughter has always been ac customed to ride in a carriage," he said. ." Who are you, sir ?" "A gentleman, sir," replied the young man quickly, and left the house. The lovers were parted. The lady was married soon atter to a wealthy planter, and the young man went out again into the world to battle with his heart and to conquer his unhappy pas sion. He subdued it, but although he afterwards married a woman who was worthy of his love, he was never wholly dead to his first love. The time passed on and the young man began to reap the reward of his labors. He had never been to the house of Mr. G. since his cruel repulse by the planter, but the latter could not forget him, as his name soon became familiar in every Virginia household. Higher and higher he rose every year, until he had gained a position from which he could look down on theplanter. Wealth came to him, too. When the greatstrug gle for independence dawned he was in his prime, a happy husband and one of the most distinguished men in America. The struggle went on and soon the " poor surveyor" held the highestand proudest position in the land. When the American army passed in triumph through the streets of Wil liamsburgh the ancient capital of Vir ginia, after the surrenderof Cornwallis, the officer riding at the head of the col umn chanced to glance up at a neigh boring balcony, which was crowded with ladies. Recognizing one of them he raised his hat and bowed profoundly. There watt a commotion in the balcony, and some one called for water. Turning to a young man who rode near him, the officer said gravely: " Henry, _I fear your mother has fainted. You had better leave the * column and go to her. The speaker was George Washington, once the poor surveyor, but then com mander-in-chief of the armies of the United States. The young man was Col. Henry Lee, the commander of the famona "Light Cavalry Legion ; 11 the '‘gNe(itti*Otet s?ittetitytt&t VOLUME 68 lady was the mother, and formerly Mary G., the belle of.the Northern Neck. Romance In nigh Life. There have been many instances with in the last half century of females of comparatively humble origin being raised by marriage to high social posi tion in the community, as for instance, the elevation of Miss Marren to be the Countess of Derby, Miss Stephens to Countess of Essex, Miss Mellon to Duchess of St. Albans, and Miss Foote to Countess of Harrington, all of whom have in turn " walked the stage" of Preston Theatre. But there are few cases of ladies of high rank marrying tradesmen of humble position; indeed, we know of no parallel instance to the history we are about to relate of the daughter of one of high rank and title, the sister of a prime minister of Eng land, who numbered among her im mediate relations and connections dukes, earls and barons, herself, also, afterward entitled to rank and prece dence, allying herself to a tradesman of small means, in a provincial town. Some particulars of this "strange, even t ful history" appeared in the Chronicle some years ago, but probably many of our readers will have forgotten them, and the romantic character of the nar rative will well repay another perusal to those who may yet remember the main incidents. Frederick, Lord North, and his sister, the heroine of our story; were both de prived of maternal care when they most required it, and both were consigned to the same foster-mother during their in fancy. Of the life, public and private, of the former, Lord Brougham has fur nished ample details in his " Statesmen of George the Third." Of the eventful history of the latter, the pen has been as silent as the grave which entombs her remains ; her name does not even DOW occur in the genealogy , of the North family in the " Peerage." early days of the high born lady, to whom we have alluded, were spent under the roof of her mother's immediate relatives, near Grosvenor square, London, where she received 'an education suitable to the position in society she appeared designed to fill. At twelve or four teen years of age she became an in mate of Bushy House, Middlesex, the then residence ()f a ille Earl of Halifax, whose daughters, the Ladies Montague, watched over her young womanhood with anxious solicitude. The Earl of Halifax being at that time (1748) one of the Lords of the Admiralty, was in the habit of being waited upon in matters appertaining to his office by a young man named Brett, nephew of Sir Wil liam Smith, a London merchant, who offered her his hand. Mr. Brett:though respectably connected, and having good worldly prospects before him, was nevertheless, not considered of suitable station to espouse the daughter of a peer, and she was therefore sent down to Preston to break off the acquaintance. After remaining here for spme weeks under the care of two ladies named Astley, whose father was mayor at that time, and lived at the entrance to Chapel walks, Fishergate, she received an in timation that Mr. Brett, supposing she had gone to France, had set out in quest of her, and had been drowned in cross ing from Dover to Calais. Believing the statement, and much distressed in her mind at the supposed sad event, she immediately returned to London, and related her troubles to her foster mother, observing, at the same time, that as her friends had deprived her of the object of her warmest affections, she would accept the first offer that was made her; Her foster mother having a nephew then lodging with her, from Preston, with a view to improvement in his business, she communicated to him what the unhappy lady had I stated. He made her an offer accord ,l,:ugly, and in three days they were mar 'l'ied at Keith's Chapel, May Fair. This nephew was Mr. Bradley, tailor and draper of Preston ; and the daughter of one of the proudest aristocratic families of the empire became the wife of a Pres ton tradesman! A few months afterward the young couple quitted London, and she became the mistress of the identi cal house in Fishergate formerly occu pied for many years by the late Mr. Taylor, seedsman, which descended to her husband on the death of his father, and where she gave birth to twelve chil dren, six of whom (daughters) have died within the last sixteen years, the last of them very lately, in Preston. Harsh and unforgiving as it may ap pear, it is yet the fact, that this mar riage (imprudent, certainly, under the circumstances) for ever cut her off from her former friends and connections, not one of whom ever exchanged a single word with her afterward, except Sir Roger Burgoyne, who married her par ticular friend, Lady Frances Montague, and who accidentally met her in Lon don. Lord Strange, father of the late Earl of Derby, who then represented the county, and resided occasionally at the family mansion in Church street, also recognized her after she had become a resident of Preston. He had known her when a girl living with her rela tives, near his own residence, in Lon don, and evinced his sympathy at her altered position by becoming a customer to her husband, and recommending his friends to follow his example. With these exceptions, and now and then a small present sent through an unknown medium, but for. which it wiis thought she was indebted to the interference of Lord Strange, she was completely severed from and neglected by her own relatives, and sunk into the grave about 1790, at the age of 62, having about five years before lost her husband by death. She subse vently . became so reduced in circum stances to be compelled to part with her jewelry, among which was a valu able ring, given her by Charles Spencer, Duke of Marlborough, who married her cousin. Her ashes were consigned to their last resting place in the burial ground , of the Preston parish church. Mr. Brett, her " first love," it may be added, rose to eminence in point of po sition, having become member for Sandwich, and also one of the Lords of the Admiralty, during the coalition ministry of Lord North and Mr. Fox in 1783, but unmarried—probably out of respect for the lady whom au affection • ate regard on the part of her‘well-mean ing friends deprived him of, owing to hi 'then inferior station in life. The 'Mystery of Punctuation. An old compositor tells this anecdote in a New England paper: We remember, a number of years ago, when we were at work in a book office near Boston, the copy was received for a scientific work. The copy was manu script, with every letter well formed, every capital letter in its proper place, every word distinct, and punctuated. It was plain as reprint, and called by the compositors the best manuscript copy they had seen. The copy was given out to the compositors a few pages at .a time, who set it up and punctuated it as they bad been in the habit of do ing, each as he thought the sense re quired. The proof-reader read the proofs, marked a few changes in the punctuation, as he did in most of the proofs, and the matter was corrected. Another proof was taken and corrected, and when thirty or forty pages were ready they were sent to the author for his inspection. In a few days the proofs came back, with the punctuation marked freely. It was cor rected, of course, and the compositors then got orders to " follow copy In punctuation." They did so, and another lot was forwarded to the author, punctu ated exactly according to the copy. In due time these proofs came back, and with the punctuation marked more than before, it that were possible. Tikisirri tated the proof-reader somewhat, and he sent the scientific author a not very polite note, saying "If I can't punctu ate this work to suit you, and you can't punctuate it to suit yourself, what are you going to do?" In reply, the author said he wasn't aware he had been cor recting the office punctuation, butif the proof-reader would see to the punctua tion he would be greatly obliged, as it was something he knew nothing about. After that there was no more trouble about punctuation on that work. fificOantoup. "JIDkiDtOWD." A few miles north of the city of Bro therly Love, and most unbrotherly hate, there was, a few years ago, an insignifi cant hamlet, which was known by the modest name of Jinkintowu. Who the Jinkin was whose patronymic was thus honored is doubtless known to the old est residents of that favored region, al though nbt recorded in the annals of the neighborhood, for the sufficient reason that they' are yet to be written. When, however, the progress of the war and the plundering propensities of its promoters had enriched many par venus, Jinkintown was fixed upon by some of them as an appropriate place for indulging in the dolce far niente after their tremendous labors in fleecing the public Treasury. Bute Jinkintown, us the seat of this new aristocracy of wealth and— some would say, also—of wickedness, did not sound grand enough to suit their aspiring but uncultivated tastes. It became necessary, therefore, to devise some name that smacked of the old country, of long Inheritance and gentle• manly proprietorship, and one that was, at the same time, romantic enough to be allowable even in the pages of yet. low covered novels. The venerable Jinkins was accordingly remitted to his ancient obscurity. " When Mr. Jay Cooke and myself, and other million aries, moved and built houses, we changed the name of the region from Jinkintowu to " Chelton Hills, calling it Hills to give it a romantic sound." So writes a correspondent of the Cin cinnati Commercial. Certainly Chelton Hills is a grander and more imposing title than Jinkintowu ; but " romantic" though it be, we fear that it is a mis nomer. Properly it should have been " Chiltern Hundreds," as that is the place to which certain Englishmen are accustomed to 'resort, when sufficiently gorged with official patronage, or when they are willing to vacate their seats in Parliament to oblige a ministerial friend and like Mr. Micawber, -are " waiting for something to turn up," However this may be, the vulgar and plebeian Jinkintowu no longer offends that deli cacy of taste and fine sense of property for which those of our modern million aires are so eminently couspicious, who have suddenly enriched themselves...at the expense of their country, and whose favorite motto complacently assures an admiring world that " a public debt is a public '' blessing." - We have already mentioned the im portant tact that on one of these newly baptized " Chelton Hills," Mr. Jay Cooke, among others of his class, has built himself a house. That iu respect to the symbolic significance of this house, "he builded better than he knew," will be made quite apparent when we come to the description of it. Moreover, the suggestiveness of the ar chitecture is not at all weakened by cer tain incongruities which, some would say, disfigure the edifice, but which really have, in their apparent grotesque ness, a sense of fitness beyond most structures of the kind when 'we consid er how the wealth of the occupant was acquired ‘tild his laudable desire to blend the mediaeval aim the rude with the modern and the highly refined. The correspondent already "Iluded to, says that " Mr. Cooke's house is neither ap propriate to an American landscape nor to our age." In this, however, he is clearly mistaken. Mr. Cooke evidently gave the matter much thought. and in the absence of a fitting biographer, de termined to chronicle, in tangible form of bricks and mortar, the two principal phases of his otherwise inconspicuous life. As symbolizing the first phase, he caused to be constructed " a, high, mas sive feudal pile such as the Rhenish rob bers put up to force toll." So far, then, we think the appropriatenessof the style of the edifice and its profound under meaning will be very generally con ceded. " But," says the correspondent whose description we are quoting, " some ass of a Frenchman seems to have come along and set a deep mans ard roof upon the dizzy rim of the castle." The writer is decidedly wrong in calling the Frenchman an " ass." It was Mr. Jay Cooke's doings, and, on the theory for which we are contending, suggests the second phase of his lite. The first, feudal—in which toll was taken of all sorts of peo ple; the second, modern—in which his cotters being well filled, he sits down to enjoy his gains. When we add, he has built a church near by, and that he was particularly careful to have the Ameri can flag painted over the altar, the bi ography of the millionaire of Chelton Hills, in all essential particulars, may be said to be complete. We, therefore, do not sympathize with the writer to whom we are indebted for this delight• ful piece of local history when he says : " I like the Americaufiag, and it makes me reverent enough in a foreign land ; but when I see it in a church my mind gets away from the discourse. Between the beautiful Episcopal prayers and myself, the stripes drop like a curtain and the stars flash up." But whatever opinion may be formed of his religion or his loyalty, no one can doubt that lie is horribly sarcastic when he declares that whilst looking at that novel altar piece he felt himself insensibly pray ing : " Lord ! stand up for the flag un der which Mr. Cooke and I made all our money."--I3alliniorc Gazette. August Belmont. [From the New York Mall.l Mr. Belmont is a graduate of the house of the Rothschilds. He was born in the little town of Aizey, in Germany, of middle-class parents—honest, indus trious, well-meaning people, who had acquired a decent property by hard la bor and careful economy, and who had but one ambition in life, that of educa ting their two children, a boy and a girl, that they might be qualified for a high place in the world. They sent their boy August to Mr. Sach's Collegiate Institute, in Frank furt, a school which held a high posi don, and from which he graduated with credit. Soon after, lie was apprenticed to the Rothschilds, whose establishment was in high esteem for the right among students who had a turn for finance. Having acquired a knowledge of mone tary transactions and exchange, young Belmont, at the conclusion of his ap prenticeship, was sent to Naples, to the care of one of the Rothschilds' agents, and here he perfected, by practice, his financial knowledge, and became thor oughly grounded in the principles of foreign exchange and trade. It was as the agent of this house that Belmont came to New York. He ar rived here in 1837, a time of great finan cial disturbance, and by a judicious and skillful use of the means at his com mand, not only served his employers to their entire satisfaction, but laid the foundation for his own vast fortune. Mr. Belmont is shortin stature rather thick set, and could hardly be mistaken for any other than a German by his aspect. He has brown eyes, nose rather large but prominent and a slightly re trousse—a broad forehead, scanty hair, ' and neatly trimmed side whiskers. He dressed plainly but elegantly, and would not, by his appearance, attract l special attention from the ordinary otk server. He is afflicted with a decided lameness, which many suppose to arise from the Byronic infirmity of the club foot; but this is not true. The lame ness was caused by a wound which Mr. Belmont received in a duel some years ago. Mr. Belmont is married to the daugh ter of our greal naval hero, Commodore Perry, and has an interesting family of five children. Their New York resi dence is on the corner of Eighteenth street and Fifth avenue. It is a plain brick building externally, by no means so imposing in its exterior as many of our up-town residences ; but within, it is a marvel of richness and elegance. Its chief ornament, to the lover of the beautiful, is its magnificent picture gal lery, perhaps the finest private collec tion in America. It is often thrown open to the public when some charita ble purpose is to be served, and a price of admission is charged, the receipts always proving a handsome sum for the LANCASTER PA.

This gallery of paintings is the result of years of earn est and cultivated effort in collecting rare works of art, both by foreign and native artiste, almost regardless of ex pense. Another similar work—similar In re gardlessness of cost, and in the years of earnest effort which have been devoted to it—has its result in the wonderful collection of jewels which Mrs. Belmont possesses, and which might add splen dor to the casket of a reigning sovereign. A pearl necklace, one of the chief beau ties of this collection, is of immense val ue, and has few peers in the whole world. Every pearl in this necklace is a gem of the first purity, Mr. Belmont having gathered them, one by one, from .cvery part of the globe, occupying four en years with the task, and keeping all the noted jewelers of the world con stantly on the look out for pearls of suf ficient splendor to be worthy of a place in this wonderful necklace. Reception of Judge Woodward. On his return from Europe, Judge G. W. Woodward was publicly received at Wilkesbarre, October 25. It will be re membered that Judge Woodward was nominated, during hisabsence and with out his knowledge, to fill the vacancy in the Tvielfth Congressional District, and was elected by about 700 majority. On his return General E. L. Dana made a congratulatory speech, and in reply, Judge Woodward said: The demonstration to-night, follow ing and ratifying my election to Con gress whilst I was absent from you, is another emphatic expression of popular confidence. For all the great and un merited honor you have done me I thank you. And through you I desire to return my hearty thanks to all the Democratic people of the Twelfth Con gressional District. I wish they were all here before me now, that I might make my grateful acknowledgments to every man of them in person. I want to be a little more precise in my ac knowledgments, and, before I forget it, I improve this opportunity to say, that I have long considered myself under a great debt of gratitude to the people of Luzerne county. More than forty years ago I came among them a stranger strip ling, and they adopted me as a sou. They gave whatever of professional reputation and rewards I gained. They first introduced me to the Pennsylvania public by sending me to sit In the Con stitutional Convention by a larger ma jority than any other member of that body had received, and from that day to this they never have had an oppor tunity to record a vote in my favor that they have not recorded it. Luzerne county has yet to cast her first vote against me. No matter what the office, whether Judge of the Supreme Court, Governor of the Commonwealth, or member of Congress, this county has always sustained me with a hearty good will, and [ am proud to make this pub lic acknowledgment of her generous confidence. I have been thus distinct in alluding to my obligations to the people of the Twelfth District because out of these grows the plain duty to accept the trust now imposed upon me. lam bound to serve a people who have so long hon ored and sustained me by their friend ship. And therefore, though I did not desire the nomination, and sent home a declination which I understood was published in the papers, and though I would have been glad if one of the sev eral very respectable citizens whose names were before the convention had been preferred to me, yet since it is the will of the sovereigns that I should go to go to Congress I will go, and will represent you to the best of my abilities. If it involves any sacrifice I make the sacrifice cheerfully for such a constitu ency. A people who have done so much for me have a right to demand the best I can do for them. If there- fore you are not satisfactorily repre sented in Congress it will be because I cannot represent you. The best I can do shall be done. Whilst I may well distrust my ability to serve you accept ably, I can be at no IoS about the course you would have me pursue. The restoration of the dissevered States to their places in the Federal Union— the committing suffrage, and all other local and domestic questions which the constitution does not expressly control, to the free and unconstrained action of the several States—the strict subordina tion of the Military to the Civil Power of the country—the admission into the two houses of Congress of such loyal white representatives as the States may _send by a due exercise of suffrage, un controlled by Federal bayonets—the res toration to the people of their constitu tional currency of gold and silver at the earliest day the business of the country will bear it—the adjustment of all our revenue laws upon such a basis that public credit may be strengthened, rev enue increased, and taxation lightened —the revival of trade, industry and commerce throughout our whole coun try, and to this end the cultivation of a fraternal spirit of amity and concord betweeu the States and the people of the States—these were the great objects for which my predecessor longed, and toiled and suffered, and which it will be my duty, as it will certainly be my plea sure to promote. And my fellow-cal zens, let me say that these were the ends for which the government was instituted. 1 take my stand beside the Constitution of the United States, and I say let it have free course, and it will pour out blessings upon all the people of the land. Of pas sion and angry crimination we have had enough—enough of jobbing and self seeking—enough of mere party strife— it is time the substantial interests of the country should have attention. This wide continent cannot be governed by a military despotism which tramples upon the rights of white men in the in terest of the negro race. The founders meant no result so preposterous—pos terity will never pardon us for prostitu ting our institutions to such unworthy ends. The negro is an object of our kindest sympathies and should be pro tected in all his natural and civil rights, but let him never be set up to rule over the white man. Since the days of Ham he has proved himself un lit for this, and it is madness, the mad ness of Bedlam, to attempt it in a coun try like ours. But if the States can be left to the enjoyment and exercise of their just rights, protected and fostered, but not oppressed, by the federal gov ernment, the whole continent we in habit will not prove too wide a theatre for the development of the principles of American liberty, and the imagination of men cannot set bounds to the social happiness and material prosperity of our people. The greater part of the ice used on the Pacific coast is obtained from an ice cave in the Northern part of Oregon. This cave is situated on a stream known as the White Salmon, which empties into the Columbia river, on the Wash ington Territory side. The entrance to this icy chamber is near the base of Mount Adams, which stands twenty miles from the Columbia, and whose melting snows constitute the waters of the White Salmon. The dimensions of this cave are vast, extending many miles ~under the snowy mountain, and the scenery inside is grand. The ice is found in columns by water falling from above, and congealing as it falls. These col umns are cut out in blocks, and con veyed on pack animals to the Columbia river, and from thence are shipped to all the markets on the coast. The name of James Gordon Bennett, Jr., which recently disappeared from the Herald together with that of his father, has not been restored, though the senior's is again placed in its old place. The latest story is, that the young man quarrelled with his father, and was dismissed from the estab lishment on account of his dissipation. The fact that he was arrested on Broadway, on Tuesday morning, for drunken and disor derly conduct, is the latest and ugliest, yet developed from the family Jar among the Bennett's.

Mrs. Teresa Yelverton One of the most remarkable trials which have excited the interest of the civilized world in this century was that now known as the "Yelverton but which, at its commencement in 1880, was entered upon the records of the Dublin Court of Common Pleas as " Thelwan vs. Yelverton." In the year 1880, the Hon. William Charles Yelverton, aMajor of the Royal Artillery, was sued by John Thelwall of Hull, England, ostensibly for the re covery of expenses incurred In main taining the Major's wife, Mrs. Teresa Yelverton. The defendant denied the justice of the account presented, claim ing that no apartments were rented for hls wife, no food, clothing, or other ne cessaries furnished her at plaintiff's ex pense, and no money advanced to her by plaintiff, as set forth in the bill ofcharges. He also denied that Teresa Yelverton was his wife. The examination develop ed the facts which we here state as Iriefiy as possible: Mal. Yelverton was the heir apparent to the peerage of Avonmore, and his wife, Teresa Longworth, was also of gentle blood. During the Crimean war she was one of a band of ladles who ac companied the Sisters of Charity on their mission of mercy to the army hos pitals. For a long time she ministered to the wants of the sick and wounded. Amid the scenes of suffering and death which surrounded her life while acting as a voluntary nurse, she met Maj. Yel verton, who asked her to become his wife. She assented. He desired that the marriage should be a secret one, and performed by any priest whom he could find. This she would not agree to. He urged it upon her, but she was firm in her resolve. No inducement could make her yield, as the idea of a secret marriage was distasteful to her, and as she bad determined never to be married by any but a priest of the re ligion she professed. On her return to Scotland he used every argument to con vince her that a secret marriage was no breach of morality; and that a Catho lic priest could marry them in Scotland. Finding her fixed in the determination to take no step which should tend to injure her fame, he propounded to her the law of Scotland in regard to the solemnization of marriage, and showed her that in that country the services of a priest were not necessary—that mutual consent and promise in the presence of witnesses would make them legally man and wife. He read aloud the marriage-ceremony from a Church of England Prayer-Book, and proposed that then and there they should declare themselves united in wedlock without asking for clerical aid. She looked upon this proposition with horror, and with out delay hurried from Edinburgh to Wales. Every word of the service rang in her ears. He had told her that the mere reading of it in her hearing made her his wife, and she feared that between her duty as a Roman Catholic and as a subject of the Queen, living under the laws of the Scottish realm—having been married, however unwillingly, iu accordance with law, and at the same time in a manner not recognized as lawful by her church—she was in a position of great danger. She knew not what course to take, but after serious thought she determined to obey the laws of the church, and refused to consider herself a wife. This refusal was met by Major Yelverton with the proposition that they should be united in secret by a priest of her own faith, and having e.,onsented, they were married accord ing to the laws of Ireland, at Killowen, in August, 1857. All these facts were proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, and a verdict was given in favor of the plaintiff, the court thus declaring that, according to the laws of Scotland, Teresa Yelverton was the lawful wife of the defendant in the case. In June, 1858, Major Yelverton left his wife, and within 24 hours mar ried Mrs. Forbes, the widow of Prof. Forbes, the celebrated botanist. The Yelverton case now becomes a curious one, as serving to develop facts in regard to the marriage laws of Great Britain, the inconsistency and injustice of which strike the Intelligent people of other countries with something greater than mere astonishment. The Irish Courts had decided that Major or Mrs. Yelverton were legally married. The Fiscal General of Scot land had the Hon. Wm. Charles Yel verton arrainged for bigamy. The Scottish Courts decided that the marri age, as solemnized ou Scottish soil, was illegal. Maj. Yelverton then appealed to the same Court to have Teresa Long- worth " put to silence," a term and pro cess which require explanation. The form of action chosen by Maj. Yelver ton's advisers,from its antique barbarity, has never been practiced, and scarcely ever heard of, even by astute lawers. It is a relic of the buried past—an absolute thing; but, following the usual course of British legislators, the law-makers of modern times have made new laws without repealing old ones : and the ancient statute of " put ting to silence" is still on the book to the disgrace of a nation which has given birth to the greatest jurists known to the world. This is the statute which has kept Mrs. Yelverton in the anomal ous position of a wife not married—a woman married, but without the rights of a wife. Under this law she does not dare to call herself the wife of Maj. Yel verton. Should she persist in so doing, the law gives him the right to take her property, and it also imposes a fine upon her. The following is an extract from the prayer addressed (the ancient form) to the Scottish Court by Maj. Yelverton: "* * * And that the said woman may be put to silence there anent, and be fined £5O for every time she shall per sist in calling herself Mrs. Yelverton. * ** Furthermore, that, as lie has suf fered great pain and uneasiness from such persistency she may be fined £l,- 000 as solatiuni to his wounded feelings." Rome and Its Defenses. The Rome correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer supplies the following, which is of interest at this moment: If Garibaldi's friends should push up to the walls' of Rome before the French or Spanish arrive at Civita Vecchia they will have either a tough battle or an easy triumph, according as the Roman people within the walls are disposed towards them. The castle of St. Angelo is the only considerable work in Rome f and good for nothing against siege cannon. The city walls are about fifty feet high, defended by a few flank batteries, poorly armed.— Civita Vecchia is about two days' march from Rome ; the Garibaldians could readily tear up the railway and embarrass the high road. Rome has been twice.attacked by a foreign army, once in 1527, again in 1849, both times by the French. On the last occasion, Garibaldi de fended the city. He met the French army, forty thousand strong, at the western gate, called San Pancrazio, where they attacked at two points. Their superior artillery soon dismount ed his own from the walls, when he sallied out of the gate and charged them in flank with the bayonet, took seven hundred prisoners, and routed their en tire corps d'armee. They fled in the night. At dawn he pursued them six miles, drove in their flanks with only three thousand men, and would have :driven them into the sea, but that the French sent a flag of truce and begged an armistice for thirty days. Garibaldi then marched 50 miles from Borne; routed the whole Neapolitan army, and intimidated the Spanish and Austrians from approaching. Before the truce had expired the French treachery surprised the Italian posts outside the walls of Rome, and after two thousand men had been lost in assaults and counter assaults, they drew their parallels and brought up forty Beige cannon. The defense was prolonged another month. Garibaldi made a fight in the breaches that was the climax of one of the superheat re sistances in history, and no man in Eu rope is better informed than he is to-day, %ton the week and strong points of the °it'. If a fight occur here, It will be a ' desperate one, and among its episodes may be the death of Garibaldi, who has sworn to enter Rome again or die under its walls. Neither his death nor defeat can long retard the perfect accomplish• went of the unity of Italy. Popularity seems to be rather a dangerous thing to enjoy at Pawtucket, in Rhode Island. At that place the inhabitants turned out en =we to welcome the pedestrian Weston, who was passing on his walking trip to Chicago. The crowd were so eager to express their enthusiasm for the walking gentleman, that they pressed upon him from all sides, knocked him down, trampled upon him, and bruised him so that it Is doubtful whether he can win his wager. Rather an excitable community the Paw tuckians must be. Atittro. T IIE GREAT SECRET OF THE SUC CESS OF MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS Is the unquestioned fact that it purifies the blood, and equalizes Its circulation throughout the whole body. It is Impossible to have a sound healthy body, without pure blood.— The slightest disease, no matter how trivial, where it is located, or what Its character, is the direct result of some Impurities existing in the blood; and if these impurities be not promptly expelled, sickness and disease, in some form, must be exhibited. In all diseases of the stomach, kidneys, liver, bowels, lungs and heart the blood to necessarily impure, and the more virulent and dangerous the die. ease, the greater the impurities It is only by expelling these foul humors, by neutralizing the intense, burning, heating properties in fever cases, by restoring strength, purity and tone to tills vital element of human life, that health can be restored and preserved. MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS, Possesses all the required virtues to effect this. It acts directly on the blood, and in purl tying it, cleanses the body and restores health. It has been demonstrated beyond cavil or doubt, that, t here Is not au organ of the human body that It will not, affect, or a disease that it will not cure, if taken in time and according to directions. Remern bee that, MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS Is the Great Blood Purifier and infallible remedy for Dyspepsia. Loss of Appetite, Cramp In the Stomach, Headacire resulting front a deranged stomach, and also, that most harmers mg disease, Sick Headsch.,—Heartburn, Liver Complaint, Yellow Jaundice, Blillousn• ss, etc. It will also positively cure Asiatic Cholera, Cholera Alorbus, Cholera Inlantum, Ularrhcea, Summer Complaint, Dysentery, t. holic, Paint er's Cholic, lies, both external and internal, wasting away idea nese in children, popularly Oplumma, and almost all diseases resulting from the derangement Lf some o the organs of the body. As a soothing remedy for children while teething, or disturbed from other irritat log causes, It has no equal. Tnousands of mothers, worn out with loss of sleep, and con stant watchtmr and care of their infants, have at least found In MISHLER'. HERB BITTER • An Infallible cure for their own sufferings and their infant's pains. Let every mother, woe. tied with cross and peevish children, try it as a remedy tt at never falls, and be convinced In the evidence of their infants being happy, free trout pain, and enjoying sound, and healthful sleep. MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS Is au instant cure for Coughs, Colds, Hoarse ness or Sore Throat, Pain lu ilia Chest, etc. IjOr public spiaaers and singers, it is far better in clearing the threat, and rendering the voice pure and strong. than ali the tablets and torches now before toe public. It will cure Croup, Asthma, Bronchitis, Influenza and in cipient Consumption. It will cure Chills and Fever, Intermittent and Typhoid Fever, Nerv ous Affections, General Debility, Neuralgia and Rheumatism, as has been corroborated by tuousands of living witnesses, attested over their own names, and sworn to before the proper officials. A WORD TO THE LADIES. In forming women, God has seen proper to endow them with a peculiar organism, to many of whom, endless suffering, wearing pains and terrible trials are a constant bur then. To all, however, arc bestowed beauty, grace and manifold charms, which are fre quently marred or completely de , troyed by the many diseases and complaints to which they are subject. To all females, both young and old, MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS Is recommended as the grand panacea for their pains and sufferings. It eradicates disease by purifying their blood. It preserves and re stores their beauty of face and form, by cleans ing their systems, and restoring to each organ that strength and power necessary to a health ful action. It makes woman as sound in body as iu mind, and healthy with the rosy hue of pure blood, For all oiseases of the womb, of the menstrual and generative organs, for weakness or lassitude, for nervous debility, MISEILER'S HERB BITTERS Is the great specific and certain cure. Ladles, try it and be convinced. ..111dBLF.:12'S GREEN LABEL BIZ TER.> Is a modification of the formula given before, and is a certain specific for Scrofula, Primary and Secondary Syphilis, (Beet, Inflammatory or acute Rheumatism, scabby diseases, and old running ulcers, and sores of flesh or bones. The cures in cases of this character are trthy won derful, almost miraculous. Patients, whose lives had been despaired of, whose systems had bees enervated awl debilitated by excessive debauchery, or gross imprudence, having been pronounced, after long courses of the best and able- t medical trea , ment, as perfectly hopeless and incurable, have been cured wholly and entirely by the use of MISHLER'S GREEN LABEL BITTERS The proprietors have the written evidence and the living proof in very many ens, s, where the Green Label Bitters have 'Merely saved the patients from the yawning grave and re stored them again to lives of usefulness and happiness. These facts can neither be disputed nor denied as the following certilicate attests PaclusA, March 4, Mr. B. Allah About three years ago Henry Verling, the son of my tenant, Freder ick Verling, was attacked by Scrofula in the arm. which continued spreading and break rug out in different places on his ..rins and legs, and finally appeared on ilk head and face. We got for h.m the best medic .. advice possible, but it was of no use. The sores continued to spread rapidly, and we had made upour minds that he would lose his eyeslgut, as one sore had eaten over tile ..ridge of his nose, and was almost touching the edrner of his eye. One doctor told his parents that the bone was ef fected, and that fu a short time small pieces of bone would work out, and it appeared that the boy was getting worse instead 01 better, under their treatment, and indeed they could give no assurance fi I- cure. Ile was in this dreadful condition, it tit several large sures on his pe sou, u hen t determined on taking the case In hand myself. I obtained the consent of his parents, and told you of his •ituatlon ; you told rue that 3 our Bitters would cure Olin, and if he used it, and was not cured, you would not charge anything for the Bitters. I told you that I would give you five dollars if you cured him. We agreed, and I took a bot tle of your Bitters home with me. The buy commenced taking the Bitters, and before that one bottle was emptied, there was a great change for the better. We persevered and he continued improving until now, after taking five bottles, the sores have entirely dis appeared, and new flesh has grown in their place, and although there aro of course large scars visible, yeti believe he will outgrow them. That the boy is entirely cured, I have no doubt, but I would like him to continue the u.e of the Bitters for a short time longer. I had read a great deal of the virtues of your Bitters, and the cures it had performed, but I certainly was not prepared for such a speedy and favorable termination of the diseaie, as I witnessed in this case. This I know to be cor rect as the circumstances all occurred under myimmediate observation, and! shall ever be thankful that I brought Henry to you, and was thus the indirect means of saving him from a painful 11. e, and perhaps an early death. The boy is eight years old, and is bright and intel ligent for his age. He has the scars yet where the sores were, from which any person may Judge of their character and Size. If any one is desirous of seeing the by, they can do so by calling uu me at my residce. JOHN en HARNISH, Farmer and Llineburner, Pequea township, neat the Lamb Tavern.

ACROSS TIME SIERRA NEVADAS THE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD THE WESTERN HALF OF THE Great National Trunk Line Across the Continent, Being constructed with the Alice AND SUPER VISION OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERN MENT, Is destined to be one of the MOST TM YOUTANT LINES OF COMMUNICATION IN THE WORLD, as It Is the sole link between the Picnic Coact and the Great Interior Ban over which the immense Overland travel must pass, and the Principal Portion of the Blain Stem Line between the Two Oceans. Its line extends from Sacramento, on the tidal waters of the Pacific, eastward across the richest and most populous parts of California, Nevada and Utah, contiguous to all the great Mining Regions of the Far West, and will meet and connect with the roads now building east of the Rocky Mountains. Aboutloo miles are now built, equipped and in running operation to the summit of the Sierra Nevada. Within a few days 35 miles, now graded, will be added, and the track carried entirely across the moun tains to a point in the Great Salt Lake Valley, whence further progress will be easy and rapid. Iron, materials and equipment are ready at hand for 300 miles of road, and 10,000 men are employed In the constructloo. The local business upon the completed por tion surpasses all previous estimate. The figures for the quarter ending August 31 are 118 follows in GOLD: - - - - - - - - Gross Operattny Net Earnings, :hapenaes, Earnings. 8487,579 64 686,548 47 8401,031 17 or at the rate of two millions per annum, of which more than three-fourths are net profit ou less than 1k) mile, worked. This is upon the actual, legitimate traffic of the road, with its terminus to the mountains, and with only the normal ratio of government transportation, and is exclusive of the materials carried for the further extension of the road. The Company's interest liabilities during the same period were less than 8125,000. Add to this an ever-expanding through traffic and the proportions of the future business be come immense. The Company are authorized to continue their line eastward until It shall meet and con nect with the roads now building east ol the Rocky Mountain ranges. Assuming that they will build and control half the entire distance between Ban Francisco and the Missouri river, as now seems probable, the United Kates will have invested in the completions of sals miles $28,592,000, or at the average rate of $35,000 per mile—not including an absolute grant of 10,000,01 acres of the public lands.
