That a matrimonial bureau exists in Gotham has frequently been s‘ated in letters from that but many have regarded the statements as being more or less romantic.

He was rativer pleased than otherwise at my visit, and tilting back his chair motioned me to a seat In the big bare room furnished with one table, at which he sat, two chairs and a pile of letters scattered over the mantel plece and on. the floor. “Yon sayin your circular,” I con- tinued, “that the need of a marriage bureau is atong-felt want.

I had an application last week from a coal-heaver on board a govern- ment vessel which was to leaye for Australia in two days. He had just come back from a three years’ voyage, to find his wife dead and his four children living on the charity of neighbors. His vessel was only in port three days, but he had to find a wife in that time who would take care ot his children for the next three years. He came here, told us what he wanted, and we fixed him out the next morning with avery re- spectable woman, whose only defect we found out afterward was an occasional fit of insanity. She was sane when she married the sallor. how- ever, and he went off happy.

Artists’ brushes are made from the hairs of the tail, and for this and other purpuses over 130,000 are cap- tured yearly, valued at $25 per skin for the best. Of pine martens 200,000 are used. It is a rich brown, being often passed off by dishonest ers as Russian sable.

One of the best of the poetical diatribes di- ected against the waltz was from the pen of Sir W. Elford's triend, Sir H. Englefield. It is supposed to be addressed to a man who has been surprised waltzing with the poet's mis- tress—to the man, that is to say, and his guilty partner conjointly; and it concludes as follows. “What! the girl I adore by another embraced? ‘What the baim of her breath shail another man caste? ‘What pressed tn the dance by another man’s Khe: What! panting recline on another than me?

A CANDIDATE FOR SPEAKER. What a Kentucky Democrat Thinks of the Tariff and Navigation Laws. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial has secured an interesting interview with John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky. The conversation oc- curred at Lexington. There can be no doubt that among western democrats Gov. Carlisle ts very prominently considered in connection with the Speakership of the next House. ‘What, was asked, “are your tariff views, governor? Would you favor free trade if elected to the Speakership?” ‘Well, in the broad and sweep- ing sense, I am not a free trader,” he answered. “Of course, that is understood; at least it should be. I will add that in my Judg- ment it will be years yet before anything in the nature of free trade would be wise or practicable for the United States. When we speak of this subject we refer to approximate free trade, which has no idea of impairing the wrowth of home Industries, but simply of scal- ing down the iniquities of the taritf schedule where they are utterly out of proportion to the demand of that growth. After we have calmly stood by and helped monopolies to grow fat-we should not be asked to make them bloated. Youf don’t care, of course, to have me go into all the intricacies of the schedule and explain seriatim the changes and reductions which I think ought to be made. Our enormous sur- plus revenues are ilogical and oppressive. It is entirely undemocratic to continue these bur- dens on the people for years and years after the requirements for protection have been met and the representatives of these industries have be- come incrusted with wealth. This is the general proposition on which I stand. The rest is mere matter of detail to be settled with judgment, discretion, and action, but at the same time in a perfectly fearless spirit. There has not been a time in 20 years when the people were so thor- oughly aroused on this subject, and it is the policy of the democratic party to make its appeal tothe voting masses, and meet this hydra-headed monopoly in golid phalanx.” “What are your views on the present navi- gation laws?"” “T can’t think,” replied the governor, “of but one word that will characterize them fitly— they are barbarous.” ‘What change would you make?” asked the reporter. “Why, repeal them. They are unworthy a place on tne statute-book. The only way to revive our decayed marine is to open the way to free ships. Let our capital seek Investment wherever it chooses, without hindrance, and buy where it can buy the cheap- est. Revenue reform and a revival of our ship- ping interests are the only two subjects of conse- quence now before the country.” “What of the Ohio result?” “The election,” replied the governor, “Indl- cates in its results something more than @ mere defeat on a local issue. The republicans are adroitly endeavoring to account for our gains by the prohibition issue, the apology of an off year, and other excuses, but the fact cannot be denied that the true cause of the resultis to be sought deeper than this. It is the same which is operating so disastrously to the republicans tm New York and Pennsylvania, and will bear similar fruits. I mean the disintegration of the party through the working or factions, ‘and the corruption incident to @ prolonged lease of power. The Forty-eighth Congress will have a democratic majority of 40 or 50, despite the gerrymandering practised in republican states like Ohio, and our majority in the Senate will soon be restored.” . es The Late John D. Defrees. : THE THREE HUNDRED. From the Boston Journal. The late Hon. John D. Defrees was editing a Paper at South Bend, Ind., at the time of the Black Hawk war, and when 300 Hoosier yolun- teers went to the scene of action only to find that the war had come to an end, he saw the comical side of their experience and published a sketch of what they didn’t do, calling them the “Bloody Three Hundred.” The fun fitted ex quisitely, but a large number of the men lacked either the sense or spirit to appreciate it, and became very angry. They went to the young editor's home, a hundred strong, and called him out, Intending to duck him ina mill-pond.

Grore, a ‘The Man in the Moon. From the Cornhill Magazine. The common account of the man in the moon, that he is the individual whom the Israelites stoned for gathering sticks on the Sabbath, Is probably oaly a modernized version of a much older story. The earliest form of the many sim- ilar stories seems to be that the moon as a man, and a far-seeing one, has a power over mankind which he can exercise at will for their hurt or punishment. In the Edda, the moon takes up two children, who were doing nothing more than carrying water-pots on their should- ers. In Swabia, children who look out ef win- dows are still sometimes cautioned avainat being carried off by the man in the moon, nor are they allowed, in imitation of the hare in the moon, to make the figure of a hare on the walls with their fingers. In the same district, the sin of the man in the moon was simply that of working in his vineyard by moonlight; while, according to an- other version, awoman was taken up for spin- ning at her window by moonlight, and her flax and hair may still be seen there. To this day this primitive idea of sin against the moon ex- ists inSwabia, where it is still thoucht sinful to spin or sew In the moonlight, and it is a com- mon thing to hear it sald, ‘Leave off working, or you will go to the moon.” Storles therefore of the moon which connect the punishment of a residence there with offences against morality or Christian ordinances, may besupposed to have less antiquity than those which connect It with no sin at all or with sin against the moon itself. For instance, such stories as the Bohemian one, that the moon, having warned a thief against stealing peas, took him up when he persisted in doing 60; or the Tyrolese and German tales, that the moon carried off a rascal who went about at night eee, sheep with a fork, or who held bram- bles before the moon to conceal his theft of a horse, of cabbages, cherries, fish or cheese— seem to be the adaptation of a more primitive belief to a changed and somewhat advanced state ot thought rather than the expression of the earliest nottons on the subject. The further addition to these storlesthat the thief or profane Sabbath-breaker bears his load of cabbages or sticks for all eternity, as an eternal warning to mankind, seems an additional corroboration of this hypothesis. ——___~-e-____ ‘The Pay of Actresses, From the New York Mail. Celia Logan sald in her lecture in New York the other evening that ‘in no other occupation does a woman receive such liberal pay for her work as on the stage.

The general assembly of the Knights of Labor which asgembied at Union Square hall, New. York, on the 5th‘of September, adjourned after an eight days’ session on the 12th. After the first day’ssession the meetings were held in Clarendon hall, 13th street. The assembly was composed of elghty-three delegates, mostly from the eastern states. Only four delegates from Illinois, viz., Messrs. Randall, Sweig and Griffith, of Chicago, aad Rhodes, of Joliet, were present. District Master Workman Halley, of Chicago, was also nt in New York asa spectator. Everything connected with the order—the secret work, constitution, laws, &c., underwent discussign. The A. K. remalus as it was; the co-operative plan was made voluntary. Many other im- portant amendments to the constitution and by-laws were adopted. Local assemblies must hereafter affiliate with a district assembly when a district is established, instead of being left optional to belong to it or the general assembly. Means were devised for checking the practise of promiscuous “boy- cotting” by local assemblies, in order that the Weapon may not lose its force by making the resort toit too common. The action of the ex- ecutive board in the Duryea-Cuno affair was sustained, but Cuno was exonerated of all in- tentional’ wrong. The final decision of the affair was left in the hands of @ special com- mittee. Grand Secretary Layton announces that the general assembly has authorized the support of the victimized East Liverpool potters and the molders of Witherow & Gordon, of Newcastle. The terms of employment offered by the firms at fault are that the men shall withdraw from the Knights of Labor. The grand assembly | takes up the gauntlet thrown the organization, | and determines to nip in the bud such tyran- nical imposition upon the rights of workiug- men. ‘The following resolution was adopted: Whereas tt setme to be the opinion of many of the leaders of labor reform that the fine es comme ‘when all ‘werlth producers should make the best uso of the ballot while it remains with them; and whereas it has come to the knowledo of thia general assembly ‘that iu many sections of the country there have been regular nomi pations made on straight labor platforms: Therefore That this general assembly view with satin. faction and approval the proposition ‘o nee labor orzan- izations wherever found to bring about azoneral eus- Pension of work on election day. The grand officers are no longer members of the executive board, which is comprised of five members not holding any other grand office. It was noticed that New York and Brooklyn were very lightly represented in the general assembly, and that no courtesies passed be- tween the members of the order in New York and the members of the general assembly, which was not as it should be. It was very gratifying to Brother Powderly that he should have been elected the third time to the position of Grand Master Workman with- out opposition. The following is a more correct list of the officers elected than that published in the Express last week: T. V. Powderly, G.M.W., Scranton, Pa.; Ralph Beaumont, G.W.F., Elmira, N.Y.;’ Robert D.

Previous to his departure he was asked for further par- ticulars in regard to the story telegraphed from Chicagothat he had narrowly escaped falling into the hands ef Mexican bandits. Laughing heartily, Mr. Mackay said: “That story is all a humbug.” “How did it originate?” “I have no idea who started the yarn unless it was some newspaper man with a highly Imaginative brain.” hen you were not attacked by bandits,” “What—ney—” “Hold on, now; Pinafore was played out two or three years ago. The bandit story is a huge hoax. Perhaps the man who originated it meant it asa joke on me. If so, he is welcome to his laugh. All sorts of canards about me have been circulated. Not long ago I was ap- nounced as a candidate for the Senate. The truth 1s, I would not bea Senator if I could. Have you heard the latest story about me?” “No, what Is it?” “Well, it is to the effect that I am going into the hotel business in London. Now, any man who says I am to be a boniface tells a fib.” “What are you going to Europe for?” “That is a straightforward question and I will give you a straightforward answer.

I consulted the beat doctors, and tried the numerous med- icines and so-called cures, but rapidly grew worse, and was in a sad condition every way when long-time valued friend of mine, prominent in this city in a large express company, urged me to try Hunt's Remedy, as he had known of wonderful cures affected by it, Upon hin representation I obtained two bottles of the Remeay and commenced taking it as directed, and greatly tomy Surprise in less than twenty-four hours I commenced to fe2l relieved. I wasin an awful condition when I began to teke the Remody, and had nofaith in it; therefore, when I found aimost immediate relief, even in one day"s use of xt, my heart was made glad, and I assure you I continued to take theKemedy and to improve constantly from day to day. I took it with me on my trip to Maine, for I was bound to have it with me all the time, and the result is that I improved speedily all the time I was away; and ever since my arrival home, which was sev- eral weeks ago, Ihave been on duty every day. I feel first rate, and tho swelling of hand, feet and legs have disappeared and the terrible back ache which used to bother me more than all the reat, troubles me no more, and I bleep splendidly nights, and surely have very excellent and forcible reasons, forspeaking in praise of Hunt's Remedy, for it has made a new man of me. I don't know what I should have done without Hunt's Remedy, it is the bost medicine that I ever took, and I very gladly recommend it to ali who are afflicted with Kidney or Liver disease, or diseases of the urinary Re a o3L ISAAC W.

Whenever any debility of the generative organs occurs, from whatever cause, the continuous stream of ELECTRICITY permeating through the parts must restore them to healthy action. ‘There is no mistake about this instrument. Years of use have tested it, and thousands of cures are testified to. Weakness from Indiecretion, Incapacity, Lack of Vigor, Sterility—in fact, any trouble of these organs is cured.
