There hasbeen a light falling off the past yecek in the number of marriage licenses issned, 25 corppared with the previous week, but as the same week 2 year ago there j5 an apcrease. So, altozether, the matrimopjal narket may be eaid to Le buoyant, and the de- mand for helpmeets unabated. Many who have obtained licenses during the week have ot 1hem under the most adverse circumstance, and have bad to fight their way, which is eig- at this the marriaceable, Parents, somehow, have beenvery merverse, and have Gisaereed with their sons and daughters, which ‘has, no doubt, hindered many matches, but this cmbarrassment s only temporary, for when a woman wills he wills, and when a man wins he geldom falls short ot the prize in such matters. ‘The hst of the bappy oues is given below, and it cannot fail to interest ail ‘ages and conditions.

The oldest couole of the week head the list, their aregste aze being 105 years, while the aggre- sate age of the youncest was 39 vears. The greatest disparity in ages of couples was the marriage of o geotleman of 33 to a lady of 16, which is the only case where the husband was as old again #s_the wife that has occurred this year, While the more matured took the “lead Jast week 1o patronizing the County Clerk the voung people, especially ladics, have Dhad the advantaze in the week just closed. Three of the ladies were 16, and two 17, who only got a license by having their parents give consent by affidavit, because under age; twelve were 18, and ten 16 years old.

A promment membeffof one of our Stock Boards, who bas recently returned from a flying 1rip to Paris, while passing one of the best of our French restaurants a few evenings since in company with a friend, was attracted by the dis- play of bonea turkey in the window, and he in- vited his friend to come in and partake of some at his expense. The broker peing anxious to air his knowledee of the ¥rench language, thus ad- dressed the waiter, ** Garcop, avez vous de boned toorkay The waiter replied, *“Oui, Monsieur, certain- ment, nous avons bon tokay.” ¢ Bien; Donnez nous en.”” When the waiter disappeated the broker turned to his friend sud remarged. ** Nothing like being able 1o speak to these fellows in their owo Janzuage. It mives one an air of importance and insures prompt at- tention.” By this time the wailer haa returned with nuokins, glesses, and a bottle of white wine, from wbich he proceedc to draw thecork and fill the glasses. The fricnd suggested that no wine had been_ordered, but the broker ex- plained that the French drank wiue as a substi- tute for water, and that a bottle of wive was cons:dered esseptial to all meals. The wine was disposed of, and, no bured turkey laving ap- peared, the broker tapped ° impatiently with his cane on the table, and in re- sponse to the sgmal the iaiter appearcd Dbeariog a silver salver, on which reposed a sliy of paper. The broker, not knowing but it mizht be 3 polite note from the cook intormiug them that the boned turker was just out, took it up and read it. At the first lance he tarned pale clear back of his ears, and secmed to be affected by dninternal volcano. Whensufliciently recoy- cn:§mm his violent emotion, be passed e slip of phper to his friend and remarked, “Great heavens! these fellows must think we run a bucket-shop or rob stages for a living. Twelve corlars lor a bottle of wine, 20d nothing to cat! Thisisthe worsthogging game I everfell azainst, and I don’t propose to stand it. Here, waiter! Take this bill back to the man who sent it, and teli bim that be is a hizhway robber, and that we don’t propose to be swindled. He has ot to Lwock 311.50 off that vill or it don’t zet paid.” The waiter disappeared and returned with the provrietor, who explained that they had drank a most expensive Hungary wine; in fact, the finest brand of wine in the market. The broker azain belched forth: - Hungary wine! I should say it was, for it has given me an appetite like an allieator; but we didn’t order any wine; we only ordered boned turkey.”? “+Qui, said the proprietor, “zat is ze wine— Bon Tokay,” and he pointed out on wine list, “Vienx ‘Tokay—8$12 per botr.c.” A sickly smile played o’er the broker’s feat~ ures as be realized the situation. Without further protest he paid the bill, and down in the cavernous deptbs of a beer saloon he swore his friend to secrecy on a stack of sandwiches, with a bottle of Budweiser for a witness. “ DESICCATED COCOANUTS.” Harifora Times. Ona of the most amusing frauds of the day is the nearo combination ealling itself the Desic- cated Cocoanut Company, which bas been swind- ling the colored brethren in Norwich and New Loudon. Alexauder P. Ashbourne, the smart- est megro in the gang, was arrested in New Haven before he had succeeded in victimizing aoybody. He claimed to have lived in Charles- 10, Sab Francisvo, South America, China, and all alongshore. He bad lost $20,000 by bei; buroed out, and had devised the idea of desic- cating cacoanuts,—drying the meets by steam heat,—u..d had patents for that, and for making ink out of the bark, and hair-oil out of the rind. “ He bad fuvented, also, a process for preparing 2 #rand combivatisn collee, composed of anu‘,’ Liberia, and Jamaica brands.” ‘T'he ruvelations in the Norwich Police Court were fuony. “Dr.”’ W. C. Lane, A. P. Ash- bourne, and C. H. Tavlor are all negroes. ‘Thomas Purdec (also colored), one of the chief wituesses acainst them, testified that Lane, at his first lecture in the colored church. nad said: “Now you don’t want to pat your money in the banx where yowll ouly wet afew cents for it, for Il give you 16 to 20 per cent for the same money. If you have mot a gollar and want to makea doilar, justturn vour money overtome, and yowll have something by-ana-by for your children, even if vou shonld not reap the nenetit yoursclves. e bave a larze brick building in Cambrideeport, with a_six-horse power engine; steam beating and drying pipes, for_vreparing the cocoanut, run all over the building. Of course all this is very akoensive, as You can see. On each certificate of stock is a beautitu} en- oraving of the mill we have Jeased. The real value of 1he machiners is about $16,000.”7 He also stated that fiftecn men and many girls were emploved o that mill. Three davs after the lecture, he was induced by Boe- well, another of the swindlers, to invest 5. Bagwell knelt down and said: *“The Tord, which is the staff of Jife, will protect and have merey ou vou if you put your mooey into this thing. Ha will ‘return ita bundredfold, and help raise the debt of your church.”” Purdy arterward went to Cambridge and discovered how he pad been swindled, The factory was & Fow of two-stury tumbledown wooden teze- ments, in which~ the witness said he wouldn’s stall a horse. All the rooms that the cocosnut compuny occupied were only threc apartments, nd all the workmen employed in the great in- dustry was an old gentleman who was blacking a large Kitchen-ranze. All the steam-pipes ‘were two stove-pipes that carried off the smoke when a fire should be kindled in' the range. There was no six-horse-power engine and no machinery at all. The old gentleman ceased bis brushing_ for & moment, lifted his white head, and said that 500 bags of coffee were ex- pected soon from Africa. Purdy was tben Qis- cted. He came back and complained to Lave, fld ‘Lane gaid he bad found out it was a fraud. Laoe then wept and said he would sell no more bonds. But he contioued to lecture on phrenol- ogy und minister to the sick. Hewas so dowg at the time of his arres VEGETABLE MILE. New York Times. Among the exhibits at the French Exhibition were several flasks of vegetable wilk, sent there by the Venezuelan Government. These have been carefully snalyzed by M. Boussingault, and in a paper descriptive of the results of his Iabors which be sent to the Academy of France, the astonishing statement is made that this fluid, in its coustituent parts, is not only grreatly like cows’ milk, but in ‘sowe respeets is a de- cided improvement on that article, It contains fatty matter, suzar, caseine, and phosvhatess but the relative proportions of these substanees are such that the fluid bus all the richuess and nutritive qualitics of cream. M. Boussingault says that t%is vegetable milk was spoken of by Humboldt, who, in his travels in South Amer- ica, had several opportunitics of tasting it and of witnessing the method adopted by the na- tives for collecting it. ‘The trees of which this is the sap grow upon the sides of moantain chains in Venezuela, ‘The Indians #o cach worn- ing to the trecs nearest to their settlements und cut in them deep incisions, from which the milk pours out in such quantities that in an hour or two:auite a large vessel is filled with the fluid. This is taken back to the sillage, and forms & staple article of food for both oid and youne. It issingular that the rare virtaes of this plant bhave never before been made public; but now that they bave been, it will be stranger still if some effort is not made to extend their usefwiness. As long as cow's imilk can be had at_every coruer srocery for a {few cents a guart, it will hardly pay for any one to gend to South America for a supply; but il the tree can grow wild in the mountainous oarts of e torrid zone, it nay be that thev arc hardy enough to bear trausportiug to, und translating in, colder countries. ‘The nce of arboricul- ture has made rapid advances of late, and tran- sitions;are now made which years ago would have beeu deemed . impossibl At all events, it is pleasavt to think that a time: may cowe when the dweller in the country districts can forego the trouble and expense of Keepiga cow, in consequence of the ease with wbich be can ob- tain gll the milk that his bouseliold requires by tapping the trees on his Jawn or in his orchard. ARSENIC-POISONING. Denter News. For some wecks past a local physician has been attending a young lady who has exhibited every possible indication of arsenic-poison. Her appetite failed her, und her face became of a wrhastly patlor, while the fegtures were bloated and the eyes watery, with swelling of the lower limbs. Day by day her body was racked with intense pain, and finally her condition became so uvendurable that she aimost longed for death to put an end to ber suileri The physician was satisfica from the beginuing that she was atlheted with some disease produced by arsenic- poison. But the most rizid investigution failea to reveal in what possible way it could have beeu administered to her. ier food was mspected, the water she drauk was most caresully selected from the wells, where no-impurity by any means could find its way to it. By the meres accident in the world the” cause of this remar] able condition wasdiscovered. The doctor hap- pened to be preseut when the young lady's clothes were brouent bome from the wash. Toe singular lustre of the linen struck nim as re- markable. e inquired who did that wasding, and was told that an old negro woman whose great skill in polishing linen made her very popuiar with tie girls. The doctor thought be wWas now ou the rvad to the discovery, aud con- cluded for the nonce to play an amateur de- tective.,.He visited the old womar, and soon learned that her *polish? was produced by the use of arsenic in the starch. Then the whole was plain. The girl was afilicted by arsenic poison produced by absorption. Being of a peculiar temperament and organization, she in- curred a danzer which others might have es- caped. Respiration aided it, and her boddy eptibility to the fatal drug conspired to sus , produce the dapgerous condition which bas just been detailed. ALEXANDRE DUMAS, - London World. : Like most Frenchimen, Alexandre Dumas gets ‘'his day’s task done in the morning, in order to bave his evenings free for sociery. His methods of diversion have sometimges been extraordi- pary. When the Chinese knife-throwers came to Paris some years ago he used. occasionally to jmitate their performance as a sort of private exereise in gymuastics for the relief of poay and miad. . He fcquired such facility that be had some difficulty 1 dissuading Muwe. Dumas from becoming his tareet, George Sund heard of his skuil, und, as it to sbow thatin this as in other things sbe was not to be beaten by a man, she was 2000 at work with the knives, day by day, with a milliner’s dummny for & mark, and witn a success proportioned to ber exertions. The fa- vorite relaxation of his maturer years is the tidying up of s own room. When bis idess gre not so clear as he could wish, off goes ]is coat, aud for @ day or two he combines the fuvetions of Molly and a furniture-porter'in his own person, unul, as the tramers might say, he feels himself fit for drzmatic philosopby once more. His father was pot without misgivings in rezard to this passfon for order, this power of occasional attention to material deturls. “ He will never succeed in literature,” he murmured ; tthe has twelve pairs of noots—all in_line.” The son, for bis parr, knew how to reply, and some of the briehtest specimeus of the carrent coin of Parisian wit were minced by bis brain in friendly coutests provoked by his sire’s com- plaiuts. In these their refationship secmed to be reversed: tbe clder man fizured as the mau- vais sujet, the younger as the monitor and guide. My father is a biz baby that { bad When T wasa very listle one,” Alcxandre nsed to say. COUNT FERSEN IN AMERICA. - Temple Lar. Count Fersen accompanied the French army to America as Aid-de-Camp to Gen. Rocham- beau, and owing to his talents and his knowl- edge of the English language he was made the intermediary of communication between Wash- ington and the French commander. His Jetters from America do not show much appreciation of the people he assisted to trce. Bub then shies always speak ill of one another. The Count writes: 3 B “ Money s in all their actions the first object, and their ouly thought is how to ain it. Every one is for himself, no one for the public zood. ‘The inbabitants of the coast, even the best Whigs, supply the Enclish fleeb anchored in Garaner’s Bay with provisions of all kiuds, be- canse they pay them well; they flvece us without compunction; everything is an exorbitang price; in all the aealings we haye bad with them they have treated us more like cnemies than friends. Their covetousness is unequaled ; money is their #od; virtue, houor, all that, is nothing to them iu comparison with this precious metal.” Not but 'what there are some estimable peoole among them; there are many who are noble und generous; but I'speak of the nation in gencral, which seems to me to be more Dautch than English.” The Count was present at the surrender ol Lord Corunwallis, at Yorktown, whica virtuaily ended the, war, and returned to Frauce after the conclusion of the peace in 1873, He still re- mained in the Sweaish service, altbouwh, at the request of Gustavus 111., he received the ap- poinunent of Colonel Proprictor of the Regi- ment Royal Suedois in the service of Franve. ‘The Count henceforth passed his time between the two countries. .

PHOTOGRAPUIC SEDITION. : Grate Greentcood. By the way, Paris is at this season more than ever full of photographs of the Ewmpress, who was almost smothered in violets on her late fete. We sce portraits of the Prince Imperial every- where. This Royal young Pip of © Great Ex- pectations” must spend most of his valuublo time in posing. Like Moud Branscombe dud Mrs. Langtry, he is exhaling the dewy bloom of his youth in the lofty and unwholesome atelier of the photographer among cameras and chewmi- cals, . Ii¢ grows more and more like his father, having, unhappily, the late Emperor’s least de- ‘slrable features—the duli, unfathomable cyes and the big nose. -1 saw the vther day a large photograph from some painting, repres zallant young man, royally attired, great court of the Lousre on hoy Jowed by quarde and_grentlemen c ) saluted by files of soldiers. * Who is this?” I asked of the print-getler. * That, madame, is the Emperor Napoleon IV. entering the Louvro in trlumph,” was the cool reply. Other picture- dealers openly sell the photograoh of the de Chambord, a handsowe man, not_unlike the Prince of Wales, as that of “The King—Heory V.” This, of course, is rank sedition, but the Governmeut; wiser than of old, declines to quar- rel with cither the Imperialists or Legitimists on so small a matter. It amuses them, and does Dot harm the Republic. ———— # .
