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 ! A Lameut. A young man, laboring oyer the gradual encroachments of woman-kind mi masculine territory, in the matter of dress, breaks into song as follows: They took our coats, at first we hardly missed 'em, And then they aped our dickeys and cra vats : , - They stole our sacks—we only laughed and kissed them.

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 marry mo to somebody, and likely as not he will lie a macliine man , nud if he breaks his arm all to pieces, 1 shan’t know nothingwlinl to <|b.

Beautifhl Fancy Good*, In great variety, at 190 Broad street. -♦♦ ♦■ 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. |by New«*from Washington, Washington, November 10.

In replying to Mayor Rowan and the Reception Committee, Gen. Grant said : “Gentlemoß, l.amvcry glad to meet you all, and receive your congratulations, and hope you will spare me any public demon stration. As I live here in this city, 1 will be glad to receive iny friends, at any time, without display. I much prefer having none, and none will be held with my con sent.

Tallahassee, November 10.—Lieuten ant Governor Gleason and Secretary Alden occupy rooms at the City Hotel, across the street from the Capitol. Yesterday, p, m., at the hotel,thv Adjutant General of the State demanded a paper from Secretary Alden, relating to his appointment as Ad jutant General, which Alden refused, when a pistol was presented to enforce the de mand. Chief Justice Randall, who was present, with others, interfered, and suc ceeded in arresting the difficulty. To day, on complaint of Secretary Alden, Adjutant Carse was bound over in the sum of live hundred dollars to keep the peace. The Gleason party claim that Recd caused the destruction of the arms, to prevent them being used to aid in his conviction, xvhilc the other side say Gleason’s party did it, to add to Rei d’s embarriMsmciit. Your reporter cannot ascertain, on care ful inquiry', whether the Ku Klux, or one of the two sections of the Loyal League, are the parties guilty of the outrage. Jona than C.

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.
