A maiden of twenty-five was lately

company observed that “marriages were
made in heaven.” “Can you tell me
sir,” rejoined the sly nymph, “why they
are so slow in coming down ?”

St. Johns, N. B., Dec. 18.—There was
some excitement here, last evening owing
to the arrest of Chari* s Chapman by De
tective Bailie, of Georgia. Chapman
registered at the Queen’s Hotel, Decem

detective seeking a Kuklux who com
mitted depredations during the war.
Detective Bailie says Chapman’s last op

The two United States Senators who
ever served the longest terms, were both
North Carolinians by birth—Benton, of
Missouri, and King, of Alabama. The
former served thirty, the latter, twenty-
nine years. It is related, in reference
to Mr. King’s extreme courtesy, that
when he presided over the Senate the
two Senators from Arkansas pronounced
the name of their State differently,
and that he punctiliously observed this
difference. He invariably recognized
one as “thegentlemanfrom Arkan-saw,”
and the other as “the gentleman from

Constantinople, Dec. 18.—Errone

that Turkey does not approach the

Government believes she would be able
to hold. The Porte, by its circular, de
sires to intimate its willingness to con

it might be determined now on that

Several curious cases of mistaken

another case the father of a family was

Rabbi Eleazer said: “Who gives
charity in secret is greater than Moses,"
Rab said : “Men should be careful
lest they cause women to weep, for God

In cases of charity, where both men

should be first assisted. If there should
not be enough for both, the men Bhould
cheerfully relinquish their claims.
Rabbah said: “When one stands at

It is said that Chinamen who have re
sided in California, having learned to
prefer wheat to rice, have on their return
to their native land, increased the taste
for and cultivation of wheat in China.
They cultivate so much more closely than
we, that forty bushels to the acre is about
the lowest yield, and this pays well at
25 cents per bushel delivered at Hong
Kong. Their sweep of country adapted
to wheat exceeds that of the Pacific slope
ten-fold, and their cost of labor seventy-
five per cent. less. As a competitor of
California China may very shortly become
formidable.
