On two grounds the English method is unsatisfactory. It is unbecoming and inconvenient. The most beautiful complexion in the world and the fairest features will scarcely stand against the contrast ot white satin and orange blossoms in broad daylight, and it is a notorious fact that brides are not always young and pretty. In the summer time the genial warmth of the season | artly removes the difficulty, hut in winter complexions yellow and noses redden in an uncomfortable manner.

[Olive Logan ill the Morning Cult] Pants, Dec. 5.—Only think of her grace, the Duchess of Newcastle, making up her mind lo become Mrs. Tom Holder! Although she has a son, the present Duke, about 14 years old, sho is still young, and excessive ly handsome. I suppose we may con clude that her marriage with the Duke was, on both sides, ore of inter est. She is the heiress of the great banking house of IIo|>e, and the country seat, Hopedcne, is one of tlie greatest castles England boasts, among her many such. To make a long story short, they separated, everybody in London knowiug that tlie Duke’s friend for many years was Kate Santlev, the wants to know when ho really looks ill let him consult in a chill morning of December a looking-glass that has its back to the light. The spectacle is hideous. If a woman desires to know when she is most unbecoming, it is at a wedding breakfast in a Loudon bouse ou a foggy morning of Decem ber. Then again it is inconvenient. The church is over ; the breakfast is short and spasmodic. Every one feels in the way until the dear beloved couple have departed amidst their slippers and rice, and then it is all the more wearisome than ever. The poulterer's boy, taking round the trussed fowls next door, has had his peep; the nursemaids and loafers have clambered into some convenient posi tion ; there has been a laint cheer be low and a few giggles from tho bal cony and then all is over. A elever young lady once pertinently asked: “ What docs the bridegroom say wlien the carriage drives away and all this tomfoolery is at an end ?” There were various answers, ranging from ** My adored one and heart’s idol!” . . ilOtoffil... .Crimps one without.* re-election, for six • seven years would be as good as y other. The argument against a second term that a President is tempted to use his patronage to re elect himself is unsound. The moment a President t:sed his effice for such a purpose he would Bill. It would lio the suicide of his administration. It would offend the people ami array against him public men, most of whom are dreaming of the succession for themselves, and would resent a policy they deemed to he an invasion of their own rights. There is nothing ■ in that argument. Patronage does not Htrcgtheu a President. When you take up the question of third terms, and projtose permanent ineligibility afterwards, yon are encountered with the argument that in free govern ment the people have a right to elect whomsoever they please, aud that be cause a man lias served his country to the practical and unpoetical “ Give differ ent stoma about this alliance, some saying that it was the Duke who took theatres for Kate Santlev in London, so as to keep her up as a star, and others averring that he was jtoor, and that it was the bur lesque actress who supplied him with funds out of her professional earnings. Meantime the affection which Latl sprung up between the Duchess and Tom Holder, the tenor, was also a matter of common observation, though not one of scandal, because their conduct was discreet. One day last winter the Duke died snddeuly, in his bachelor’s room, in St. James street, and Kate Santley paraded the streets for a month in widow’s weeds. I suppose tlie widow’s year is about to elapse, so that now the engagement between the tenor and the Duchess may be announced. I saw them driving together the other dav. She is lovely, aristocratic, sweet, exquisitely dressed, lie is a nice, fresh-looking Englishman, sings f trettily, and, of course, is desperate- y in love. He told a friend of mine that it was in every way such a stroke of good luck for him that he was afraid to cross the street lest he should he run over before the happy day came Tom Hohler is the tenor who first supported Miss Kellogg in her first London engagement twelve years ago.

He should be so industrious, prompt and careful that the accident ot his temporary absence should be noticed by bis being missed. A young man should make his employer his friend, by doing faithfully and minutely all that is entrusted to him. It is a great mistake to be over nice or fastidious about work. Pitch in readily and yon will be appreciated, while the **high toned" young man who quibbles about what it isaod what it h not bis place to do, will get the cold shoulder.

I rang his' hell and was promptly admitted, was shown into his parlor and sent my name to Mr. Tilden, who in a few minutes appeared and gave me a cor dial reception. I was seated, and Mr. Tilden at once commenced the con versation, which naturally ran into a free talk about the election in 1S7G, and the great fraud perpetrated in counting Mr. Hayes into the Presi dency. Mr. Tilden said: “I atn the only man elected to the Presidency and counted out by Con gress, one branch of which, the popu lar branch, contained a large majority of my proiesseti friends.

But we think a wise plan would bo to connect the Central Railroad with Athens by the building of the Eaton- ton and Athens Railroad, and to command Knoxville from two poinu— Athens and Augusta. \Y r e take from the Augusta Chronicle an interestin'' statement as to the number of miles from Augusta to Knoxville. The reader can add the number from Sa vannah to Augusta, about 131 miles, and he will see how far we are front Knoxville by the Augusta route. But it is all important, we think, to keep an eye on the building of the Eatonton aud Athens Railroad, which will give two important strings to out commercial bow. But to facts and figures as we find them in a communication to the Au gusta Chronicle: “ By actual surveys the distance from Knoxville to Augusta via Ash- villo is 375 miles via Atlanta 381 miles and via Rabun Gap only 315 miles, a saving of nearly sixty miles. Ot the Rabun Gap route, the shortest, one hundred and fifty-sixth miles are already in operation, namely, the Northeastern and the Georgia road to Athens. State aid is guaranteed trout Lula to the North Carolina line (53 miles) and the latter Slate offers her whole convict force free to grade the 71 miles within her limits, while the Tennesseeans propose to completo the remaining thirty-three miles to their State line. A short link then from Knoxvillu gives connection di- iec-1 with • Louisville and Cincin nati. The comparative distances to Louisville from Augusta are via Ash- ville 640 miles, via Atlanta 040 miles, and via Rabun Gap, or Athens, 580, still a saving of sixty odd miles, and to Cincinnati via Ashville 665, via At lanta 648, via Rabun GapG05, again nearly sixty miles saved by the latter route.

I said, Mr. Hew itt, if Senators Thurman and Bayard are determined not to consult me, I cannot give advice upon the subject to any one. If, however, uy friends have any donbl as to my election; it there is a reasonable doubt as to whether there has been any election by the people, the constitution, pre scribes a remedy, the election of a President by the House of Represen tatives by a vote of Slates, and that is what I expected Congress to do. If the IJ-m’Tj of Representatives had elected me I would have taken the oath and gone to Washington to take the office, believing that my IViends would hate put me in the White House. How could I take the office when my own friends were arbitra ting the question of my election?

G.

Ho was most rigidly question ed in all points of law by a committee consisting of Messrs. J. J. Abrams, A. P, Adams, and A B, Smith, and pas sed a creditable examination. He is a young man of fine abilities who pursued a course of study in the evenings and attended to his busi ness during the day. When so ma ny young mechanics fail to'obtain the rudiments of a common school edu cation, the perseverance, energy and study of Aids young gentleman is de serving ot the highest commendation. We predict for him a brilliant success in tlie profession he has chosen. AUTHORITY OF I’AREXTS. It is a great mistake lo suppose that what will make a child stare or tremble impresses more authority. Tho violent emphasis, the hard, • stormy voice, the menacing air only weaken authority. Is it not well un derstood that a bawling and violent teamster lias no real government of his team ? Is it not practically seen that a skillful commander of one of those huge floating cities moved by steam on the ocean mana ges and wurks every motion by a wa ving of the hand, or by signs that pass in silence, issuing no order at all, save in the gentlest undertone of voice ? So when there is to be “ real” order in the house, it will come of no hard and boisterous, or fretful and termagaat way of commanding. Gentleness will speak the word ol . firmness, and firmness will he clothed in that of true gentleness. It is a great gift of the gods to ho him wlth a htttrwl and contempt for all injustice and meanness. It is a higher lot never to have lied and truckled, than to have shared honors won by dishonors.
