"Salute your bride," said the mayor.A look of blank astonishment was the

only answer to this incomprehensible or

"Kiss that woman!" fairly shouted themayor pointing to the comical collection

" "of calico ,

A' perfect thunderstorm of yells andstamps followed, a dozen or more unableto "staud it" broke for the open air, while

the tears rolled down their cheeks.

"When, after a long while, quiet was in

some degree restored, the mayor, aidedby a wag of an attorney, proceeded to make

the inquiries required by law, whereupona controversy arose between the yallerwaistcoat and the old woman as to his

fathers name. he . declared that it was

Lewis while she insisted that U was Luke,but like a dutiful Bon-in-la- w he yielded thepoint, and accordingly to Luke was awaredthe honor of inventing the contents of thehuge trowsers. After a number of pertiuent and . impertinent questions he was

asked if he used tobacco. He said "ya-a- s,

when I caq git it," at which witty replyhe laughed immoderately. The examina-

tion was then 'pronounced satisfactory,and someone suggested that it was time

for him to pay the mayor, and hinted ryloudly that a quarter was the usual fee.

"Oh ho nol No different how much.

Whats yer- - charge?" He evidentlythought the mayor intended to find outhow much money he had and then "strap'Jhim, but he was too sharp to be caught in

that way.

"What's ver charcre?" and he felt'

among his pockets.."Oh, I make no chare, sir. I leave that

matter entirely with yon?""Wa-a- l, if you dant charge nuthjn, its

no use a payin you nuthin.""But don't you consider your wife worth

something to you?" said the mayor."Wa-a- l then, thar, take that," and he

thrust a smooth levy at the mayor.Another thunderstorm of applause from

the crowd. The shouting and yellingstartled the whole town.""

"

. The levy was sent off and in a shorttime a lot of crackers were spread out on

the table, by the waggish Attorney, who

seated the happy pair in front of them,

and apologized tor the want ot gingerbread there beinar none in town. Afterstowing one half, the crackers in their ap-

petites and the other half in their pocketsthey started down street both of his armswere wgpe around the greasy calico,

and both" of hers around the yaller waist-

with tne commendable Intention of aiding

in the popalation of some other clime.

Tbs Jurisdiction Eestored.The legislature previous to adjourning

passed a law restoring the jurisdiction of

minor offences to the Court of. Common

Pleas. There are now no counties ex-

cepted. Justices of the Peace will there-

fore recoguize to the Common Pleas in-

stead of the Probate Conrt, as heretofore.

J5JPersons writing to this office on

business are reqnsted to ' address theirletters to the editor, or to the firm. Suchletters are frequently addressed to Mr.

Morris, and much delay. i3 thus sometimesoccasioned, annoying to-th-e writers and

to ourselves.. Remember this. '

; : : - . For tho "Spirit."Mr. Editor: We the Democracy of

Monroe county have to choose a CountyTreasurer at the next October '

election-Th- e

office is one of exceeding importance,and ought to be filled by ski honest, ableand capable man. Will Jacob N. Mitch-

ell of New Castle consent to 'serve? Ifhe .will it is my humble judgment' thatwe ought to elect him, for a better manwould be hard to find.

Singular Position of Skeletons.One day last week, while laborers were

engaged in grading a lot in South Wheel-ing, from which a small mound was removeed several years since, they found a fewfeet under the surface, four very largeskeletonplaid with their heads together,and their feet pointed to the four pointsof the compass. In the centre was founda shovel-fu- ll of stone beads, cylindricaland resembling pieces brkeii off from apipe-ste- m.

THE SPIRIT Of DEMOCRACYMisapreheaaien of the Militia Law- -

To the Editor of the Ohio Statetman.'.

Sir: From the first Bection of an Abstract of the new Militia Law, now beingpublished in the county papers by the several Auditors, for the instruction of town-ship and ward Assessors, as to their du-

ties in eurolling the names of "all able- -

bodied white male citizens," a general im-

pression is prevailing, and I see it statedin several pnblic prints, that the persensabove last specified are to be mustered inthe manner of the old field-trainin- Thisis erroneous, as a perusal of the sixth sec-

tion of the entire act will show, which isas follows:

"That the Militia thus enrolled shall besubject to perform no active military dutysave and except in case of war, invasion,or to prevent invasion riot or insurrection."

The false impression which Ijdcsire thusto eorrect was a very natural inferencefrom the first section, taken by itself, andwhich section is very nearly a transcriptof Article IX, Section 1, of the presentconstitution of Ohio.while the law(see Section 7) provides only for the active dis-

ciplining of volunteer companies.Respectfully, S. D. HARRIS,

. Chinese Inferinal Ifffifffurft.A Liutenant on board the ship Niger,

in tne isntisu bqnadron in the UnihaSeas, writes: 'Several attempts havebeen made to blow the Encounter np byrafts with barrels of powder, but all un-

successful , as we have intercepted themfloating down with the tide.. Most ofthem had about half a ton of powder inthem, and the infernal machines as I maycall them, were of most ingenious contrivance. Two rafts, with the powder in alarge barrel under each, were fastened witha rope about forty feet long, and the ropewas buoyed up by bamboos. If they comeacross a ship's bows the rope catches, andone raft goes on each side, and by meansof Borne detonating process, bursts directlyit comes in contact with the side of theship."

A Novel Licen3 Law. Mr. Dan-ford- 's

license law in New York Assemblyis a novel feature in legislation It pro-vides that no person shall drink strongliquors without first obtaining license,which may be granted by any Justice ofthe Peace on the following terms:

Tor license to drink lager-bee- r, currentand domestic wine, 50 cents; for strongbeer, 75 cents; for whisky aud home-mad- e

liquors, $1; for French or any importedbrandy, $1,50: for Champaign, Burgundy,or any foreign wine $2,00.

Clergymen and editors are exempt fromthe provisions of the bill, on th groundwe suppose, that they belong to the "mor-al classes," and never drink to excess.The bill was referred to a committee ofthe whole. , 2f. T. Mirror,

Tbe Same Everywhere. The fruitsof black republican Hindoo rule are thesame everywhere. In every instance alarge increase of the public expenses andof tho people's taxes has followed theiraccession to power. Iu Massachusetts,the Boston Post says that since 1850, theexpenditures have more than doubled. Inthat year the ordinary current expenses oftheState were $642,105;m 1856 they were$1,335,996, or more than the current expenses of all the other governments ofNew England! The direct taxes imposedm the last four years to meet this expense,with thejtaxto be made this year, amountsto over two million of dollars! New Haven Register.

. J9A bill has become a law in Ohiowhich provides that all property held forreligious purposes shall be deemed to bethe property of the congregation, andshall be held by a corporation for thatpurpose, for organizing which the bill alsoprovides; but in rases where it has alreadybeen deeded to an individual, for theChurch, exclusive of any rights of thecongregation, it may remain in his handstill his death or removal; after which itmust pass into the possession of the con-

templated corporation. But if no suchcorporation has been formed, it shall passto the State, te be held in trust for thecongregation. This, of course, would in-

terfere with the present system of holdingChurch property among the Catholics.

FOREIGN NEWS.

Arrival of the America.

Niw Yoaic, April 24.The steamer America, from Liverpool,

with advices to the 11th, three days later,arrived at Halifax last evening. Shesailed on Saturday, the 11th.

England. ; The elections in Englandare nearly over. Ministerial net gain sofar is 65. Sidney Herbert is spoken ofas the new Minister of War, and EvlynDinnisoa as the Ministerial candidate forspeaker. The English government fur-

nished the steamships to assist in layingthe Atlantic Telegraph Cable. The ca-

ble will be completed in June, and will belaid in July next.

France. The rumored attempts to as-

sassinate the Emperor are unfounded, butseveral arrests have been made in Parisand the Department, of persons connect-ed with a secret society.

Spain. A letter from Madrid statesthat active communications 'are takingplace between Spain and England andFrance, in the support of the SpanishMexican difficulty. The Spanish Gov-

ernment hopes to obtain the naval sup-

port of those powers, in case of a warbetween Mexico and Spain."Denmark. The Danish Diet unani-

mously approved the abolition of theSonnd Dues, and treaty concluded withforeign powers.

Austria. An Austrian circular states,respecting the Anstria-Sardinia-n rupture,that should mediation by France andEngland prove unsuccessful, Aurtria willseek measures for her own protection.The authority of the circular is doubted.

Persia Alloman, Ambassador atTeheran, had required the execution of thetreaty of determination and the restitu-tion of seven towns to Turkey.

The Porte is inclined to consent to theunion of the Principalities, on conditionthat its sovereignty be respected, and thatthe united provinces continue to pay atnual tribcte.

Good Interest. The St. Paul Times,of April 3d, complains of the tightnessof money in that city. It says " Allour eitizens are thrown npon their resources, and everybody is waiting for acash reinforcement by next mail. Thethree or four men whose coffers Btill holdout, are actually loaning money on thebest security at six per cent, a month; andother men are-- grabbing at the chance toborrow at this ruinous 72 percent, a year!"As soon as the river opens, money will beeasier.
