Sunday Morning, November 28, 1875.
Matrimonial—A Peep Behind the
Veil.
Nothing is so common in the mouths
of married people of a certain age,
male and female, when addressing
bachelors, as the statement that it is
cheaper for them to take wives than to
remain in single blessedness. Asa
general proposition we believe this to
be “a thing devised by the enemy,” and
a cunning trick of words to mitigate
that misery which loves company. It
has been practiced with success from
the earliest ages, and will continue to
triumph till time shall be no more. Oc
casionally, a man of experience, phil
anthropieally inclined, advances to the
footlights of the world’s stage and
challenges this ipse dixit , only to be
punished with a species of out
lawry by every parent with
mature daughters, who very nat
urally defends his or her pro
geny against the iconoclast. The bold
est person we have met with, for many
years, is Mr. Albert Rhodes, who has
made arithmetical calculations on this
tender subject and given them broad
cast to the public. He distinct
ly avows there is no greater
fallacy than the proverbial wis
dom which asserts that “where there
is enough for one there is enough for
two,” and adds: “The two. young
heads wishing to come together would
do well to reflect before accepting this
encouraging assurance as true. It is
the speech of hopeful natures which i
*do not look before they leap,’ to use
one proverb in reply to another. It is
especially wide of the mark in the up
per walks of society, where the woman
produces nothing but her own kind.
'lne man who is a bachelor contents
himself with comparatively little in
clothing, lodgings and amusements.”
He goes on to say that a friend who
professes to have made a study of the
matter, hands him the following state
ments as the probable yearly expenses
of a man of good social standing in
New York:
\ sitting-room and hall bed-room, sl2
per week $624
dinners at Del ncnico's, $2.50, ana
breakfast, $1.50 1*460
Clothing 4uo
Amusements oio
Total ...$3,000
He who lives thus may be regarded
as well off. The same friend gives the
annual expenses of another man who
lives more simply, but frequents the
same houses and knows the same
people, as follows:
Lodgings, $lO per week.... $520
Dinners and breakfasts in ordinary
restaurants, including wine, $2 per
day 730
Clothing 400
Amusements
'Total $2,000
Mr. Rhodes’ practical friend gives a
further example of another man “who
lives in the boarding house, who nar
rows down his disbursements to some
thing below this, say $1,500 per annum.
The author of these estimates thinks
that the last-named sum is the lowest
econominal limit to which the man en
frac can go, adding that the line must
be drawn somewhere, meaning probably
in other words that he who goes below
it is in danger of becoming “off-col
ored” in “our set,” which appears to be
a distressing occurrence in the life of a
young man within the pale of such a
coterie. Join a woman to each of these
three men, and the expenses are
doubled; that is, supposing them to
select one of the young women to whom
they are in the habit of paying court.”
Of course, these figures apply to
rather high-toned bachelors in New
York and other great centres, but the
unmarried men of Augusta, rich and
poor, may figure out the result of mat
rimony to suit themselves and their
pockets, by the simple rules above
given. Indeed, a young fellow, with a
mathematical turn of mind, might get
up a book of connubial logarithms and
make a pretty sum of rag money by
disposing of it. We wonder this scheme
has not been thought of before and
made available. We would gently sug
gest that Mr. Rhodes’ statements could
be improved upon and enlarged by
calculating upon the growth of a fam
ily, especially in times of financial dis
tress and principally among those who
have small incomes and precarious
subsistence.
We approve of marriage ourselves,
when entered into prudently and with
foreknowledge of the probable or actual
cost; but rash and inconsiderate unions
are certain to end badly, and we would
be faithless to our trust if we encourag
ed them. A sober, industrious, thrifty
mau with a settled character aud a rea
sonably certain income, would, we think,
better himself everyway by marrying
a woman who would aid him to rise
and not drag him down. We are not
insensible to the fact that many
men owe their success in life, and
abounding happiness, to their part
ners in nuptial bliss ; but we are also
painfully aware that a larger majority
date their downfall to foolish and in
c unpatible wedlock. Where love, con
fidence, domestic habits, content, fide l
ity and piety abide, it matters little
how poor in the world’s goods a man
may be; but, when those are absent,
the fate of decent and cleanly bache
lors is infinitely preferable, though
they roost in some fourth-story rook
ery. with no companions but books and
pipes. When men and women who are
not wealthy enter upon the life matri
monial, not for purposes of display and
extravagance, but for mutual affection
and economy, they may proceed with
out fear. But, when a man of very
moderate means proposes to engage
himself for life to a poor young woman
who has been brought up in the ways
of idleness and fashion, he had better
look before he leaps and, during a
leisure and dispassionate moment
study Mr- Albert Rhodes’ facts and
his friend’s
F sNY -A good story is told of a

Ferry. —According to the Richmond
Dispatch, the country has not been
much the loser by the departure of
Senator Ferry, of Connecticut. He was
the champion trimmer of Congress.
Our Virginia contemporary says : “Oc
casionally he had misgivings and in
clinations towards relenting. But he
screwed his courage to the sticking
point °*
peachment case. Then conscientious in
tervals came upon him, and for a time
it seemed to be clear that he would
join the GREELEY-Liberal party ; but
the violent period followed in time to
disappoint the calculations of the Lib
erals. Ho sustained Grant for the
Presidency and resumed his position
in the Radical ranks. His conduct was
not calculated to win the confidence of
Liberals or Radicals. He was a sort of
amphibium. The most of his time he
spent in the bitter waters of Radical
ism. Now and then he came on shore
and sunned himself while elevating his
head and reconnoitering the ground
about him. But he soon dropped from
his perch back into the water. We can
well imagine the now-departed Sena
tor to have been greatly perplexed be
tween his good and evil genius. But,
being gone, we trust he is at rest,
and that he may escape the harsh
verdict he gave against Andrew John
son—viz, ‘guilty.’ ”
Poe. —The Utica Observer says :
“Edgar Allan Poe was the grandson of
Benedict Arnold. His mother, who
was known before her marriage as
Elizabeth Arnold, an English actress,
was the natural daughter of the traitor.
This statement rests on the concurrent
testimony of a number of old actors
who knew Elizabeth Arnold well. Poe
himself alluded to the matter occasion
ally in the company of those who knew
this chapter in his family history.”
Perhaps this was the reason Mr.
Bryant had such a horror of him. The
venerable poet of the Evening Post
hates a “traitor” or a traitor’s descen
dants. We dare say, in his opinion,
Gen. Lee was no better than Benedict (
Arnold.
Mark Twain. —The great humorist,
Mark Twain, having consented to de
liver a lecture for the benefit of the
poor of Hartford, Conn., in a letter to
the committee, says; “As this will
probably be the last time I shall ever
have the opportunity of hearing sound
wisdom and pure truth delivered from
the platform, I wish to buy a ticket for
this lecture, and I herewith send money
for the purchase. lam aware I could
get in for nothing, and still be acting
In a measure honorably ; but when I
•run my lecture over in my mind and
realize what a very treasure of priceless
information it is, I canuot conscienti
ously accept a free pass.”
Summing Up.— The World sums up
Mr. Wilson thus : “The greatest defect
in his character was his timidity—
moral and intellectual also. It was
this weakness that led him to forsake
his true name of Jeremiah Coldbath,
which he should have lifted up from
the dirt, instead of flinging behind
him as an impediment. The same
cowardice caused him to forsake at
Washington the regiment which he
had promisd to lead into the field.
And it was, doubtless, under the pres
sure of temporary fear that he equivo
cated when charged with connection
with the Credit Mobilier. It was the
same weakness which made'him afraid
to leave his party when he ceased to
be in accord with it.”
V JEos So.” —At a recent meeting of
colored Radicals, in New Orleans, for
the purpose of agitating Pinchback’s
claim to a seat in the United States
Senate, much opposition was encount
ered. Whereupon the redoubtable
Pinch said if the freedtnen could stand
the indignity of one of tjjeir own race
being refused his seat because of his
being of their race, he could stand it.
He had made hay, he said, while the
sun shone, and could afford to live
without his seat in the Senate. A man
and brother, named Allain, retorted
very happily that if Pinch had made
the hay, he ought to be satisfied, and
give another a chance to profit by the
sun’s rays. He thought it would be a
bad way to go a harvesting to first
offend the United States Senate.
Woman Suffrage.— Wyoming rejoices
in an experiment of female suffrage.
Reliable testimony shows that it is a
failure. The women are getting sick of
jury duty, and care so little for the
boon of the elective franchise, that
they do not go to the polls in any
numbers to exercise it. Let a woman
have her way without hindrance, and
the spice of life is gone. The strong
minded of the sex want the franchise ;
aud now, in Wyoming, they are dis
gusted with k it, because J,he men make
no opposition.
Personal. —Cuss words among the
St. Louis editors are getting red-hot
and blasphemous. The Cincinnati
Commercial having mildly insinuated
that Grosvenor would not take SI,OOO
for suppressing a newspaper article, the
editor of the Globe-Democrat replies
that if the “Colonel” had been editing
a newspaper some eighteen centuries
since, he would have stolen the manu
script of the Sermon on the Mount and
suppressed it, in the interest of Pontius
Pilate, for a dollar.
Georgia. —Some of the South Caro
lina papers, anent the trouble with Mr.
Treasurer Jones, assume that Georgia
is in a very bad way financially, as a
State. The best evidence to the con
trary is the quotation of her bonds,
and from the further fact that by the
sale of her public property the debt
would be well nigh extinguished.
Cheek. —The St. Louis Globe-Demo
crat, which is just now on the ragged
edge of a crooked whiskey indictment,
talks about the probability of Southern
Congressmen “disgracing the national
reputation.” Perhaps it means inves
tigating Republican robberies.
Grant and Wilson.— Almost with his
last words Vice-President Wilson de
nied the current report that he and
Grant were on bad term*.
Query. —Have Mr. ex-Treasurer
Jones’ friends been the cause of his
difficulties ?
Aristides.— Perhaps the Athenians
banished Aristides for the same rea
son that the Governor officially exiles
Mr. John Jones. He was probably
“ honest but incompetent.”
Statistics.— Dr. Harrison says that
the tables of death rates show that in
temperate men live longer than tem
perate men. He should now tell us
the exact value of a long life spent in
debauchery.
Cuba. —Gen. Tecumseh Sherman says
the South could gain nothing by a war
with Cuba. He might have added that
tho North would be in a similar fix,
and Cuba, “reconstructed” by New
England politicians, would regret the
lost despotism of Spain.
Wilson. —The late Vice-President did
not drink intoxicating liquors, but he
was an intemperate eater. Had he
drank a little more and eaten less, he
might have escaped apoplexy. Men
who are temperate in one thing are
usually intemperate in another.
Colbath. —The right name of the late
Vice-President was Jeremiah Jones
Colbath. He became Henry Wilson
by an act of the Legislature. Perhaps
he felt that handicapped by his origi
nal title he never could run a success
ful race for political honors.
Mining Profits. —The London Hour
shows how a great mining scheme pro
gressed, thus:
EMMA MINE.
Capital, £1,000,000,
In 50,000 shares,
November 9, 1871.
Profit promised, £BOO,OOO per annum.
Result.
No Mine.
No Tools.
No Nothing,
No-Vember 10th, 1875.
£2,470
or about
One Shilling a share.
► Minister Schenck is said to have
engineered this little scheme about the
time he was writing a treatise on draw
poker for the English nobility and
gentry.

Justly Indignant Subscriber vs. Uncle
Samuel’s Postal Service.
Maysville, Ga, Nov. 22d, 1875.
Mr. Editor. —Having been a sub
scriber to the Constitutionalist for
upwards of thirty years, aud when my
term of subscription expires, wish to
continue, provided I can have an alter
ation made through you, as to my
receiving my paper at the proper time.
Through some cause, I cannot get my
paper until it is so old that the news is
worthless to me. This has been the
ease for a good many years. I got the
Hon. Geo. E. Deadwyler to call and see
you last Winter, and had my paper
marked via Athens. After that time,
I received three papers at the regular
time; since that time they go up the
road by Atlanta. If there eftnnot be
some arrangements made by which I
can receive it at the time when my
subscription expires, I shall have to
discontinue subscription. My opinion
is that the fault is in the Postmaster at
Augusta, or done in shifting the mails
on the route. I hope you will look into
the matter and have it corrected.
My opinion is that the managers of
the Constitutionalist have done their
duty ; but I think—though you know
best—that the wrong is done at Augus
ta or Union Point, and done designed
ly, as it is of so long continuance.
If you can rectify this I expect to
be a subscriber to your paper as long
as I live, as I highly appreciate it; if
not, duty compels me to discontinue at
the expiation of my present subscrip
tion. Yours, respectfully,
Madison Strickland.
