Day and Night in Sweden.— 1 The pe culiarities of day and night in Sweden strike flic traveler very forcibly after bo- ing accustomed to the temperate zone. In Juno the suu goes down in Stockholm a little before 10 o’clock. There is a great illumination all night, as the sun passes round the earth toward tho North Pole, and the refraction of its rays is such that you can seo to read by midnight without any artificial light. There is a mountain at tho head of Bothnia where, the 21st of June, the sun does not ap pear to go down at all. The steamboat goes up from Stockholm for the purpose of conveying those who are curious to witness the phenomenon. It occurs only on one night The sun reaches the hori zon: you can seo tho whole faeo of it, and in fivo minutes more it begins to rise. At the North Cape, latitude 72 deg., the sun does not go down for several weeks. In June it would be alx>nt 25 deg. above the horizon at midnight. Tu the winter tho sun disap] K-arc, and is not seen for weeks; then it comes, and remains for ten or fifteen minutes, after which it de scends, and finally does not set at all, but makes almost a circle round the heavens.

The two came not together, nor had they ever met. In the afternoon of that day they met in tho parlor and incidentJy got into conversation. Gen tlemen sometimes fall in love at first sight, but ladies seldom do. In this case, however, tho woman fell dead in lo\e with burnt cork. “Not for .Toe" was no porting song, rilie went for Joe. Joe was sensititive, and at once began to have a kind feeling for Mrs. Drake, who was goose in bis eyes. They made love each other and were very happy. By and by the veal Drake arrived in search of his wife. He came np on the night train and instituted inquiry. Strange enough, he fell into the hands of Gay lord also, who recognized the description, and assured Mr. Drake that his wife had been there, but he had seen her take a train and go away. Mr. Drake went to lied disconsolate. Near by him his duck of a wife occupied another l>cd. Where Gaylord slept this deponent smith not, but he and Mrs. Drake were both up in time for tho 3 a M. train South. They arrived at Indianapolis at six, went to the nicest hotel in the city, registered as J. M. Gaylord and lady, took a room, and having come a long way on u night train, were verv tired and so retired. — Drake, who ishal/printerandhalf trunk- maker, took the seven o’clock train from this city, and, on arrival at Indianapolis looked up Borne fnemls. Ho found an editor of a Democratec newspaper, from the country, who did not like the editori al convention, and was anxious to get np a fi rst- class sensation. Ho advised Drake to cut and shoot. Drake had no pistol nor any money. He loaned him enough to buy a cheap shooter and the two pro ceeded to tho hotel. Drake wanted to proceed to tho room at once and shoot the gizzard out of the destroyer of his bliss, but the proprietor objected.— Finally tho latter and the editor went to tho room and gained admission. Upon TIVAL ax Amekicus.—With about twenty twenty-five -minutes,- the other day, to A Kentuckian riding to liis wife’s itmernl, saw a scrub racoon tho road, which so excited liis ruling passion that he yelled, “two to one on tho roan Who takes me ? ” j‘ Well, duuno !*’ said the visitor,point- ig to a plain Masonic pin, (the compass id square) “ how muen is tnat yore ?’’ Five Dollars only, sir,” was the reply.

The two parents compare notes, and if the mar- viago portion is satisfactory, a treaty is there and then concluded. wssu Mexican authority Is almost ox* tinct on the Rio Grande. The anti-Jnar oz party reinforced by stragglers from the United States, defy both civil and milita ry ]lower of the Mexican nation, and live under rules of their own. In this sec tion tho annexation party is in tho as condant, and they openly declare an in tention of separating the border States from Mexico, and forming them into new Confederation, under the protection of tho United States. The Present Condition of the South. —The New York World has a leader up on the present condition of the negroes in the South, based upon information re ceived from an observing gentleman who has just returned from*- residence of sev en or eight months in a Gulf State. Ac cording to this testimony emancipation is not regarded as an evil by the owners of the Southern plantations, ond they heart ily acquiesce in free labor. The negroes, ho says, arc reasonably industrious, and improving every year under! ho wages system. Moreover, Tho social problem would be no prob lem at all, if it were not for meddlesome carpet-bag interference. A law has been passed by tho Legislature of Louisiana giving negroes equal rights in schools, theatres, hotels and public conveyances ; but tlris is something which the negroes themselves do not care for and havo nev er demanded. It is repulsive ond odious to tho whites, and in their present tem per they will never submit to it. They will willingly be taxed to support separate free schools for the black cnildren; the street railroad companies in New Orleans are ready to give up every other car to the negroes; but association and contact are repelled as indignities, and as a gen eral rule, tho negroes do not claim this land of equality. Tho attempts wliich liave been made* to enforce it havo utter ly failed. Every law of that kind will be a dead letter, os there is no possibility of executing it being told the situation, the parties be- . pan to dress themselves as rapidly as is received.

When he icus, on Friday last The occasion was one of much interest to the order, and infinite pleasure to all participants. Dr. Blackshear’s address was very beautiful and well received; the order escorted by the Sir Knights of De Molay Commanaery, presented a fine ap pearance, ar d the celebration passed off pleasantly and with great credit to o— Americas brethren. At night a large audience assembled the Chapel of tlio Masonic College, and; while waiting for sapper, listened to sev eral very poor five minute speeches, aud, a great deal of effort at wit. When tho list of speakers was exhaust ed the craftsmen mingled with the dience and lively chit-chat and social partec filled np the interim till supper js announced. The multitude repaired to the Halls be low, where was spread a superb sapper— such a supper as would have delighted the Priests and Levites at the celebration of tho Cape Stone and dedication of the Temple. While discussing the good things at supper, the seats in the Chapel Hall were removed, and a string band provided. Ou returning to the HnH those fond of the Terpaicliorean graces, took in the situation at a glance, and in a jiffy partners were selected for tho first quad rille ; the signal note was sounded, (he cat-gut vibrations quickened the general pnlse, and a dozen sets or more plunged joyously into the giddy mazes of the dance. A» one hour after low twelve the gay and festive eeene dissolved, and the hapny votaries quietly dispersed. We enjoyed the occasion, and felt that it was good to be there. Friday afternoon Dr. Hawkins afford- l us the pleasure of a ride, and a bird’s- eye view of the city. We were surprised and delighted at what we saw—a beauti ful city embowered in shady groves, aud perfumed with the rarest shrubbery and sweetest flower. There are not many ex travagant mansions, but all are neat and comfortable, exhibiting cultivated taste and unpretentious happiness. Saturday morning we fell into the hands of CoL W. A. Hawkins, CoL C. T. Goode, Col. Cntts, Dr. Eldridge, Jack Brown, and a few others, whose hospitalityis on ly equaled by their genial spirits.

A high official of the Internal Revenue Bureau nays of the income tax bill, that increased exemption and the reduction of the tax in the new bill would bring the estimated revenue from this sourco down to about eighteen millions, and that the fifteen hundred special Assistant Assess ors, who are appointed annually for three or four months’ service to assess the in comes, can be dispensed with, because tho exemptions leaves so few people in district liablo for income tax that the regular Assistant Assessor can sit in their ottioes and wait for the income « ments to be handed in, instead of going after and hunting them up. The result, ho thinks, will be a trifling assess leaving nothing but a remnant of the former amount to collect, so that in bis opinion it would be better to wipe it out altogether. « wife ho grabbed her, pulled her along and said. “ Won’t I break every darn bone in your body when I get you homo.”— She thought hot, and went to talking tragically about how that fellow had stole her heart away.

Touching Incident.—A writer in Boston Commercial Jtullctin, showing the extent and variety of the express busi ness, mentions that sometimes incidents of a touching character transpire in tho precincts of the unsentimental press ofiL e. An expressman upon reach ing his office early one cold morning January, observed ou the sidewalk, long heavy box, which liis practiced eye at once identified ns containing a corpse. Upon ono end of the box, shivering with tho cold, sat a little half clad boy about seven or eight years of age. Addressing him kindlv, he said: “My lad, don’t sit there, you will freeze.

L- Vanmeter, Burraah, write*, “The Pain Killer has become au almost indispensible article in ray family.” Hundreds of missionaries give similar tcati- ouy of its virtues. Rev. J. G. Stearns writes, “I couaider the beet remedy I know of for dyspepsia. Rev. Jabez L. Swan says, “I havo used it tor years in my family, and consider it an invalua ble remedy.” Rev. M. H. Rixby writes, • ‘I have had oeca- use the Pain Killer very frequently dur- BST The Sulinc (Mo.) Progress tells of a young man in its county who came up on a rattlesnake in his field, and cut the snake into three pieecs with a grubbing hoe, and was afterwards badly bitten by one of the pieces ! ThbLisb to Eufaula.—The engin- iTH are now in search of the best line for the B k A R R from this city to Eu- fanla. Two lines have already been run, neither of which is very satisfactory. Dawson is exceedingly anxious fora survey crossing the S. W. Road at that point, and passing north of Americas, and it is asserted that a better line than either of those surveyed can be found in that direction. Fort Gaines also presents a route and statistics that puzzled ns. From Albany to Fort Gaines,it is claimed, a dead level air line can be obtained, and aline almost free from excavations and fillings np the river to Eufaula. It is believed that the road can be built cheaper via Fort Gaines, though some ten miles farther tlian by any line yet projected, and that sound policy dictates an experimental survey before locating. The proposition is worthy of consid eration, and should not be disregarded.— Albany News 28th inst.

Compliment to Akekman.—The Louisville Courier-Journal says of Aker- This favorite child of Mars—this ide Olympian Jovo among Georgians— rushed to the side of Toombs, and, draw ing his glittering blade, began that career which, in its glory and splendor, was sur passed by that of no other seoond assis tant brigade commissary in the whole army of the South. Fashions fob Children’s Hats and Boots.—A New York authority says that a charming novelty for young girls is a summer hat of light bluo or pink silk, with a kind of coiffure of embroidered Swiss muslin edged with Valenciennes lace. A quilling of silk surrounds the crown; bow and streamers are at the back. Bronzed boots are worn with brown or white dresses, but black kid boots, cut only half high, ornamented with white stitching, and either buttoned or laced on the sides, are more generally adopt ed. The Alligator Horse.—The Augusta Chronicle <0 Sentinel learns that a planter Midway, in Sonth Carolina, about seventy miles from Augusta, has cultiva ted his entire farm this year, so far at least as ploughing is concerned, with alligator! Tho animal is nnnsnolly large—weighs 350 pounds—and is per fectly docile and domesticated. He is said to work splendidly in plough har- i, and is far superior to mules or horses.
