NOTES.
-Violets won't grow In Chicago.

gree of doctor of laws upon Hon. Roscoe
Oonkling.
-The Turks have about 160,000 Infantry, 7000
eavalry and 388 guns on the Danube and in
Bulgaria.
--The Californians say that It is Intellectual
activity, not the climate, that causes so much
Insanity in their State.
-An effort is being made In Boston to or
ganize a Woman's Mission to women of the
colored race and of the Indian tribes.
- The Maine Democratic State Convention
Is to be held in Portland on Tuesday, August
14, about a week later than the Republican.
-The havest-fly of New Jersey has red
eyes, stays under ground seventeen years,
and dies in a few weeks after It moves into the
air.
- An egg laid upon the dock plating of the
monitor Monadnock, which is being rebuilt at
Vallejo, was cooked hard wijfhout any arti
fi11al heat one day during the recent heated
term.
- It was decided at a meeting in the interest
of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad held In
that city Saturday, that the city can do noth
tag save invest about $2,500,000 more in the
road and complete it.
-"The Gkxxl Lord," said Napoleon, "is
always on the side of the heaviest battalions."
The grasshoppers have driven out the saints
and broken up the Mount Tabor (N. J.,)
Methodist camp meeting.
-A regular legation will be established in
Washington by the Chinese in a month or
two. A considerable share of its attention is
to be devoted to the large number of Mongols
colonized in Cuba. It may also look a little
after the hoodlum element on the Pacific
coast.
-It is proposed to extinguished, by pur
phase, the rights of succession of the Duke of
Edinburg-heir presumptive to'the Duchess
of Saxe-Cobourg and Maxe-Gotha-and trans
fer them to the hereditary Prince of Saxo

as Saxe-Thuringen.
-The hotels of Maine have suspended the
publication of a wine list on their bills of fare
In deference to the new liquor law, which
makes such publication a hollow mockery or
a criminal offense. The Bangor House, one
of the leading hotels In the city of that name,
keeps up the head line, "Wine list," and pub
lishes beneath it the sadly suggestive line,
"we would if we could."
-The population of Great Britain has, since
1801, increased from 10,000,000 to 28,000,000,
and the London Times estimates that it will
be doubled in fifty-four years. How to feed
it will be the great difficulty, for a leading
British agriculturist said in a recent speech:
"It appears to me, and it has been observed
by many of our leading men, that a steady
deterioration is going on in the producing
powers of this island."
CHEAP WIVES.
The Old Style of Courting in Virginia.
In "Holmes' American Annals" we
find the following curious information,
of the way wives were procured in Vir
gnia, 258 to 260 years ago: "In 1618
v. Argall, of Virginia, ordered that
tobacco should be a legal tender at
three shillings per pound, and in refer
ring to the passage from Europe, he
says: 'The enterprising colonists being
then destitute of families, 8ir Edward
Sandys, the treasurer, proposed to the
Virginia company to send over a freight
of young women to become wives for
the planters. The proposition was ap
plauded, and ninety girls, young
and incorrupt, were sent over
in the ship which arrived this
year, 1620, and the year following sixty
more, and well recommended to the
company for their virtues, education
and demeanor. The price of a wife at
first was 100 pounds of tobacco, but as
the number became scarce the price was
increased .to 150 pounds, the value of
which in money was three shillings per
pund. This debt for wives, it was or
dpred, should have the precedence of all
other debts, and be first recoverable.
The Beri4Mr. Wains, a Virginia writer,
intm `'that it would have done a
uns's martt good to see the gallant
young Vi tlans hastening to the water
slide wi ver a ship arrived from Lon
don, e i carrying a bundle of the best
tobacco under his arm, and each taking
back with him a virtuous young wife."'
A New Hampshire paper relates that
at Newton, in that State, a mad dog,
ofter having been wounded, took refuge
ins barn, where some of the hay became
soaked with his blood. The hay was
led to a horse, which went mad.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The receipts

The increase of $2,000,000 is largely ow

[Letter to Ricbmond Whig.]
* * * But of all the boats in all the
tide of time, and of all the daring deeds
of mankind in the history of wars, that
of Lieutenant Dixon, Twenty-first Ala
bama Volunteers, in the submarine tor
pedo boat in the Charleston harbor, in
1864, stands unparalleled.
This boat operated under water. She
could take the bearing of her enemy
more than a mile away, then Settle down
under the surface of the water, head for
the hostile ship and strike her at airy
depth below the water line. She requir
ed a crew of nine men, all told-a cap
tain, or pilot, and eight men to propel
her.
She was built in Mobile by Hundley
& McClintock, who took her by rail to
Beauregard at Charleston. He called
for volunteers from the fleet to man her
and use her against the Ironsides. Lieut.
Payne, Confederate navy (a Virginian),
and eight seamen volunteered to take
her out. She was made ready one even
ing, and lying alongside a steamer, the
crew were all at their posts inside the
boat. Payne was standing in the round
hatchway, just about to stoop down into
his place and fasten the hatch down
when the wave of a passing steamboat
swept over and into her, sinking her in
stantly. Payne caught by the guards
of the steamer and sprang out; the other
eight men went down with the boat and
perished.
In a few days she was raised and
again made ready. Payne again volun
teered, and eight sailors with him. This
time they are lying by the wharf at
Fort Sumter Payne standing as before
in the hatdi to give his final orders
when the boat careened, filled and
sunk. Payne and two men sprang out
the other six men went down in her and
perished.
In a few days she was again raised,
and Hundley and crew took her into
Stone river, where she dived and swam
on the water and under it. showing all
her powers until presently she dived
and carried her hapless owner and
crew with her to the bottom. When
they were found a week after her nozzle
was down deep into the mud of the bot
tom, and the boat was inclining forty
five degrees to the surface. Her ballast
had shifted and and her crew were
unable to relieve her, and they all
perished.
EAgain she was made ready for action,
and though they had seen the fate of
the three brews, a fourth, led by Lieut.
Dixon, of the Twenty-first Alabama In
fantry, volunteered to take her out and
attack the Housatonic a new corvette,
which had just arrived on the station,
and was lying outside a few miles off
Charleston Harbor.
Brave Dixon steered his boat with the
certainty of fate, struck the Housatonic
fairly, and blew her whole stern off.
The ship sunk in two minutes and a
half, and the torpedo boat. disappeared
forever. Six years afterward men in
submarine armor went down to the
wreck of the Housatonic, and they re
porrthe Torpedian lying on the bottom,
100 feet from where her great victim
lies. Undoubtedly, the concussion pro
duced by the explosion of the torpedo
destroyed instantly the lives of Dixon
and his crew.
Paris has just had a sensation which
repeats the story of the corpse told in
the "Memoires de Vidocq," and put
upon the stage by Victorien Sardou in
his "Maason Neuve." A young man,
Alexis de P,, was maintaining improper
relations with a married woman. Dur
ing one of their clandestine meetings
the young woman swooned; the lover
was unable to bring her to and hurried
for a doctor, who found that she had
died of heart disease. The commis
saire of police happened along imme
diately, told the lover that he must be
present at the inquest, and ordered the
body to be taken home. Thereupon M.
Alexis de P. fled from Paris.

route is the only liue runoing double daily trains

GALVESTON, June 21, 1877.
Mr. A. Roy. Agent Diebold Safe and Look Co..
New Orleans, La.:
DEAR thi-The No. 14 Diebold Safe purchased
of you some months since went through the
large conflagration of the 5th Inst. It fell from
the second story of the First National Bank
building, and after remaining over forty-eight
hours in the burning ruins it was removed. It
then presentel a very bad appearancA. The
DIAL a'd HANDLE were completely ME(TED
OFF. The Iron on the sides and front was very
much bulged out, and in many places had al
most been melted off.
Considering the extreme heat to which it had
been subjoe ed. we feared greatly for its con
tents: but judge of our joy and surprise when.
on opening it, we found all our t ooks and pa
pers in perfect condition. As this was only a
small safe. we think it stood a remarkable st,
and we cannot too highly recommend your safe
to the public. Truly yours

1877, said inquest having beet; held in said city
before Dr. Henri de Itance, Coroner of the
Second, Third and Fifth Districts of the parish
of Orleans, that the death of said Severino

knowingly poison, placed' intentionally and
feloniously in a bottle of medicine, from which
he, on that day, took the usual dose, by one or
more persons unknown to the jury of inquest,
and who are at large; and

bringing to justice the perpetrator or perpetra
tors of said crime, and by virtue of the author
ity in me vested by the laws of this State, I
hereby offer a reward of ONE THOUSAND
