Lost Her Balance.
A bridal party, not many thousand 1
miles from this city, were aboard of a '
train, when the fair bride leaned out of
the window to take a farewell look at
her old home. Iler affectionate ami ,
newly made husband, trembling with
anxiety for her safety, tenderly encir
cled her slender waist with his coat
sleeve, and softly whispered, “Pray,
take care of yourself—don’t fall over
board, darling 1” Scarcely were the
words out of his mouth ere the blush
ing young laauty uttered a faint but
audible scream, and sinking back in
the cushioned seat, pressed her em
broidered handkerchief to her lace.
“Poor darling is frightened,” said the
loving Benedict, sympathetically. But
“poor darling” bowed her hea<| and
would not be consoled. To tell the
truth, she had lost a set of new teeth !

They stole our sacks—we only laughed and
kissed them.
Emboldened tlieu they stole our very bats.

her father read from a newspaper an ac
count of a mechanic whose arm was torn by
machinery. No one supposed that tire child
took any notice of it; but when she went up
stairs, she began to sob violently. When
asked what wus the matter, she exclaimed,
“Odear! what shall Ido if they many me to
a machine man?” Her mother, scarcely
able to repress laughter, replied, “ Don’t cry
about that, my child; perhaps you never will
be married.’’ “O, yes, 1 shall,” responded
she, trying to swallow her sobs; “ they will

General Bctler on Spoons. The
Herald, some time ago, sent a reporter
to get General Butler’s views on pub
lic questions, but, by some accident,
the importiint topic of spoons was
overlooked. We now have, however,
another conversation with the General
by another reporter, in which this
great subject is fully discussed in the
following language:
“Why have yon not answered these
serious charges?” asked the reporter.
“Because,” answered Butler, “if I
should entirely snuff out one of them,
as it would be easy to do, and then
not answer the next that my enemies
should bijng up, they would immedi
ately say that he would reply to it if
he could, and so construe my silence
into Conviction—and life would be too
short to answer all that rebel malig
nity could suggest. If any person
chooses to believe that the command
ing general of a department .would
steal spoons, when, by a simple order,
he could command millions of money,
he will so believe because his own
mind is so Constituted that he knpws
he would have stolen spoons if he had
the opportunity.”
“By the by, General,” I interrupted,
“would you care to tell how the charge
übout spoons was first- .started?”
‘•'Certainly,” he said. “The historv
of that charge is a curious one. After
the fall of Richmond, when the semi
rebel Legislature was in session, it was
reported that I was to ho sent doxvn
there to take command instead of Ord.
One Flint (I think that was his name),
who was a member of the Legislature,
introduced a resolution advising the
people, in view of my eomiug, to lock
up their spoons. The resolution, of
course, was immediately rejected, but
it was copied and the cry taken up by
the rebel newspapers, and has now be
come the staple of Democratic wit'
against me. Flint, however, its au
thor, who was then a navy agent al
Norfolk, was soon after found a de
faulter to the Government to a large
amount, and ran away to Kugland. Ile
illustrated the fact I have stated—he
knew Ac would steal spoons, as he did
the Government money. Indeed, most
men judge others by themselves, as it
is their only standard for judgment.”
Quinine. Quinine is produced
from a forest tree in South America,
known as the chincona, ot which there
are many varieties, but the chincona
cansaya and the chincona rudra yield
the medicine in greatest abundance.
So great has been the demand that, in
most of the districts whence it has
been obtained, the supplies are gradu
ally diminishing; and as no substitute
of equal value is likely to be found, it
is of the utmost importance that new
sources shall be discovered. In Ja
maica the chinchona rubra has been
cultivated sufficiently to show that it
will grow well on that island, and the
Government is urged to encourage and
assist in its cultivation to an extended
scale. It seems, hoxvever, that only
upon mountains from 1,500 to 2,000
feet high, where the forests are often
bedewed with mist, does this tree
arrive to a perfection that will make
its cultivation profitable; but there
are several sections on the island that
will answer its requirements. Besides,
there arc other islands in this quarter
of the world where similar conditions
prevail, and if due effort is made the
world’s supply of quinine may continue
unexhausted.
Weddings a Hundred Years
Ago.—lt may be of interest to know
how they arranged marriages a hun
dred years ago. An old paper has the
following description bearing upon the
subject: “Married in June, 1760, .Mr.
W illirm Doukiu, a considerable farmer,
of Great Laksin (near Rothbury), in
the county of Cumberland, to Miss
Eleanora Stotton, an agreeable young
gentlewoman, of the same place. The
entertainment of this occasion was
very grand, there being no less than
one" hundred and twenty <juarters of
lamb, forty-four quarters of veal,
twenty quarters of mutton, ami a great
quantity of beef, twenty hams, with a
suitable number of chickens, etc.,
which xvas concluded with eight ham
pers of brandy made into punch,
twelve dozen of eider, a great many
gallons of wine, and ninety bushels of
malt made into beer. The company
consisted of five hundred and fifty
ladies and gentlemen, who concluded
with music ’of twenty fiddlers and
pipers, and the whole company xvas
conducted with the utmost order and
unanimity.”
. —The State of Illinois adopted a
new seal on the 26tb ult., just fifty
years and two months from day on
which the State was admitted into the
Union. The design is an eagle on a
iMJulder in a prairie, the rising sun in
the distant horizon ; in the beak of the
eagle is a scroll bearing the words: —
“State Sovereignty—National Union.”
There is also introduced the American
shield, as adopted by the original thir
teen States.

ceeded in arresting the difficulty. To day,

GENERAL REMAIIKS -The jiosition
of the staple, statistically considered, con
tinues very strong, and it seems certain that
prices in Liverpool must reach a checking
point before new supplies are available.
Accounts from Manchester are of the most
doleful nature, and spinners are enduring
immense losses at the existing rates, ana
none of the foreign markets hold out any
inducements to shippers of fabrics; yet, in
spitcof all this, short time is only occasional,
and the Liverpool market is daily active at
hardening prices. The approach of the
elections In Great Britain, no doubt accounts,
in some measure, for the continued running
'on full time in face of so heavy a loss, and
predictions are numerous that short time xvill
succeed the elections. On this point it can
also be urged that when the excitement of
the elections is over, the home trade of Great
Britain may greatly increase in activity. The
anomalous condition of Liverpool and Man
chester cannot long continue; and the inevi
table result will be the reduction of the con
sumption to a point coinmcnsunitc with
available supplies; for experience has proved
how delusive arc the hojies of fancy prices
based solely on speculation. The receipts
continue very free, and the Southwestern
crop seems fully’ two weeks earlier than usual.
The accounts of the crop from Georgia and
Alabama are decidedly more favorable, and
the election seems to have passed off w ith
less interference with the laborers than
usually expected. The Government estimate
iwhieh,w as very correct last yenr) puts doxvn
the crop nt 10 to 15 per cent, less than last
season; in consequence of improved weather,
we hear of estimates as high as two and
t hree-<(Darter millions from private sources;
the favorite guess, however remains al two
and a half millions. No doubt our receipts
would be heavier if we had ]<>s favorable
picking weal her. for every at this season is
precious, nud indeed xve incline t<> believe
I hat it. will lax to their full capacity the
present, force of lalxirers to save as much
cotton as last year, from the-area planted.
Everything favors very heavy receipts for the
next six weeks; means of transportation are
abundant and steadily increasing; current
prices are satisfacton- to planters, and enough
cotton has been sold to Cnablej
fanners to send In their crops with less
gectmiary assistance than hitherto. The ex-,
citemcnl of politics will abate, now that the
elections have actually ddCßired. anil until
the reassembling of t'<m;*Rhs. at least, a
period of comparative calm and geneinchard
w ork is to be expected.
