Dr. Johnson convinced his sweetheart of his appreciation of her bv taking her finger to poke the tobacco in the bowl of his pipe. On the Island of Hinia, opposite Rhodes^ a girl ia not. allowed to hare a lover until she has brought up a certain quantity of spongta, and given proof of her ability to take them from a certain depth. Daniel Webster proposed to Miss Fletcher while aiding her to unravel a skein of thread. “Grace,” he said, “we have been untying knots. Let us Bee if wo cannot tie one which will not untie in a life time.” In some parts of Asia the question of a man’s title to a bride must bo settled by a fierco fight between the .friends of the con tracting parties. If his forces ore victorious his sweetheart becomes his trophy. In ancient Greece the lover was seldom fa vored with an opportunity of telliug his pas sion to bis mistress, and he used to publish it by inscribing his name on the walls, on the bark of the trees in the public walks and upon the leaves of boohs. A Scotch beadle took his sweetheart to a graveyard, and showing her a dark corner said: “Mary, my folks iio there. Would you like to he theref’ It was a grim way of proposing, but Mary was a sensible Scotch lassie, and she accepted him. According to Dr. Hayes, courtship among tho Esquimaux has not much tenderness about it. Tho match is made by the parents of the couple. The lover must go out and capture a polar bear as an evidence of his courage and strength, and then steal liis sweetheart. In the Isthmus of Darien either sex can do tho courting, while in tho Ukraine tne girl generally attends to it. When she falls in love with a man she goes to his house and declares her passion. If ho declines to ac cept her she remains there, and his case be comes rather distressing. Among tho ancient Assyrians all marriage able young girls were assembled at one place and the public crier put them up for solo ono after tho other. Tho m-moy which was re ceived for those who were handsome, and consequently sold well, was bestowed as a wedding portion on those who were plain. According to curious old marriago custom, still prevalent in Brittany, tho bridegroom, immediately alter tho priest lias wedded tho couple, strikes his wife in tho face, saying, “This is how you will faro if you make mo angry,” and then, kissing her, ho says, “And this is how you will faro if you treat mo well.” A curious custom prevails in Oud Bcier- land, Holland. October is tho auspicious month, aud on tho first Sunday (known ns review day) tho lads and lasses, fettired in their best, promenade tho village separately, staco each other out of countenance, and then retiro to make up their minds on the second Sunday, which is called decision day. Tho Australian lover is lacking in tender ness, if tho statement made by Myers Deley Is true. Tho lover makes up his mind us to which woman shall bo his bride, aud then hides in tno bushes in tho vicinity of her dwelling. As Soon as she comes near tho ■ spot where be is concealed ho knocks her down with a club and carries her oil before sho comes to. Tho brothers Jacob and William Grimm, authors of tho wonderful fairy stories, con cluded that one or tho other should marry. Officious friends found a suitable lady for I Jacob, but be declined to do tho courting, so | William acted as his proxy. In doing so ho fell in lovo with tho lady himself, which ho did not want to betray Jacob. This latter solved tho dilem ma by telling William that ho could Lava her.

The impetus given to every branch of trade by the building of the C. *nd M. railroad, and the erection of Rucker’s compress is the greatest the town has ever known. Passing along the streets can be seen wagon loads of cotton moving hither and thitherto and from warehouses, the compress and the railway depots. Coun try wagons loaded with the fleecy sta^ pie, and all kinds of "pr6du?6 'pour in daily from “early morn till dewy eve.** Merchants, bankers and even lawyers are being paid right along, and plenty beams from the faces both of the towns folk and rural gentry. It will not be amiss to note a fee e\id<*nces of genuine growth. Within the past twelve months a large number of new dwellings have been built accor ding to the modern styles of architec ture, which present a pleasing contrast to to the stately mansions of ante bellum days. Sew fence-*, fresh paint and white-washing have lent their aid in making the city attractive, and in keeping with the spirit of progressive ness now seizing it. The new City Hall completed last fall is a neat two-story brick structure, surmounted with a cupola, where hangs the bell which sends forth tho fire elann. The extensive new compress recently constructed by Capt. J. II. Rucker, of Athens, is an imposing structure of its kina, is situated near the Georgia and C. aud M. railroads, and is overrun with work. Messrs Jas Tweedy and Dave Jacks, both of Athens, are in charge of Mr Rucker’s business, and are well sustain ing their reputation as first-class cotton men. Close by is the site of the C. and M. depot, the materials for which are already at hand, and a splendid brick edifice it will be. Exemplifying the commercial growth of Madison it may be noted that the leading merchants calculate upon ceiving over 20,000 bales of cotton this season. Taking the business men generally they are as clever and enterprising as any town can boast of. Without disparage ment to any the following deserve no tice : Messrs J. R. High A* Son carry a very large stock of general merchandise. Their trade is so large and increasing, that they are building a 20 x 30 feet exten sion to their present commodious store, This is one of the solidest firms in Madi* HARMONY GROVK.

[Special Correspondence.] New York; Sept 25.—Several weeks ago inclination and a bed-and-buffst car ou the coast lice railway took a Gotham journalist to one of the most attractive of the not very numerous Atlantic seaboard cities which erect their temple spiree and minarets be tween Hampton Roads and the inmlubrious Florida Keys, He had been corresponding for a long while with a wall known newspa per proprietor in that section of cur diversi fied country, but had never met his talented, genial, esteemed and prosperous southern contemporary face to face. So he called upon him, without ceremony, and found the latch string hanging out. When this visit was made, CoL Rodgers (which, by the by, isn’t his name) was pro fuse In hand shaking and kindly words of welcome. The New York man could plainly see, however, that be had dropped in upon the right friend at the wrong moment. It was, in fact, the colonel’s busy day, which, as a regular thing, cornea to him about six times every week. Yet there w&i much to be talked of and over; notea to be compared, affairs of common interest to be discussed, and a commodious, finely appointed publish ing house to bo inspected by tho New Yorkee*. He tried hard to beg off, but the hospitable colonel said: You came almost a thousand miles to see me, major, and found mo up to my ears In businesa. It’s always this way down her* However, I’ll find time enough to treat you as a gentleman should be treated. There fa a committee waiting on me, inside (pointing to his private office), a couple of dozen let ters to write or dictate, and a big advertis ing contract to be revised; but lean give ou half an hour, anyhow I Come up stairs. ’ll shew you our plant, and we can chat as we go along.” So nimbly mounting a steam elevator they went to the roof of a lofty building, and for five minutes gazed, north, east, south and west, at the really picturesque municipal length, breadth and boundaries; at toe suburban landscapes and the tortuous sun reflecting river sweep, with the gleaming, billowy ocean beyond. Then, floor by floor, they descended until the outer portal was again reached and a hearty mutual parting grasp indulged in. It was whilo they were slowly coming down stairs that a boy employed In the office stepped close to tho colonel’s elbow and quietly said: “They are waiting for you, dr, to make a quorum.” “Yes, yes,” replied the urbane and method ical colonel, “I'll be with ’em directly. Tell Van to wait for mo—ten minutes.” Another department was shown to the New Yorker, and again ram* a messenger. This timo it was a demure, slimy. Uriah Heep stylo of desk clerk, who spoke with bated breath and cringing humbleness. His superior looked at him exactly as he would at a cylinder roll of ordinary blank i “FU be there—in fifteen minutes, Mr. Croakspine. They must be patient." He dismissed the cat treading clerk with an authoritative wave of his hand and turned into another room. The Now Yorker, fol lowing him, felt somewhat complime but wisely kept his own thoughts uncli of words. Finally, tbo entire upper port of the publishing house had been explored. A visit was then made to tho cellar, where a rapid, web perfecting power press and other Improved mechanical devices come in for a share of admiration. As they were on the stairs leading from the basement to the first floor, one of tho committeemen rushed to the top step and tartly exclaimed: ‘Colonel, we've been waiting twice the time you sent word to us. What in world keep* you so long!” “Hello, general, fa that youf Howdy!” laid the nonchalant colonel. “Very sorry, my dear sir, but I can’t be in two places at once, you know. Ah, allow me to have the pleasure! Gentlemen, you must become ac quainted. Major, this fa one of our solid men, Gen. Job Wilson. Ha owns the larg est and best rice plantation on our river, and in fifty counties round Is noted for bfa cosy, graceful and courtly manners.

He’i royal good fellow and has a right smart reputation up north. About twice In R quar ter of a century he comes to see me. Then devote myself to him. Well, I won’t detain in, general, from tho committee. Tell ’em I’m with ’em in short order. Say twenty minutes, general l” The general had nervously—rather spas modically—touched the major's finger tips, and then fled to report progress. After a momentary chuckle, which shook his good natured anatomy, the colonel remarked, with quaint, peculiar impressment, and in a dry, erfaptones “You see how it is, major. They must wait or have no meeting, for Pm chairman of toot committee and have all its business in my head and coat pocket. Now, it would do for me to be remiss In entertaining a real, live, flesh and blood New York editor, who honors mo with his first visit after twelve years of mail and wire intimacy. Why, I can see those other fellows and talk ’em deaf, dumb and cnxa eyed every hour any day, but let me tell you, major, that southern gentility, etiquette and hospitality are sacred obligations which must be main tained if all the committees north of old Ty- beo die of neglect. Oh, yes; the boys will wait The general will make ’em wait. He is never in a hurry after he’s had ono of my sledge hammer hints. Being duly convinced of the practical util ity of the colonel’s system for graduating precious momenta to the emphatic require ments of good breeding (whenever a stranger was within his gates) the Mnnhattaner bowed his appreciation, took his leave and spared that volcanic committee at least fourteen of the ultimate twenty minutes. h. a l.
