'Certaiulv, sir" cried the obliging
Jane; and before Mr. Grecnlcaf knew
what was coming, a long stick was

rushed into his face, and the boiling
water f pattered over his hands, and

Then the subject of dinner was dis

passion, limped into the kitchen, and
put his nose into every . pot on tne

fearful smell, yet his whole dinner
tasted of it. Day after day, it was
the same things breakfast, dinner and

Greenleaf began to think her husband
was msane on the subject pi onions,
Jane and the waiter alone could hav
explained the mystery. . Every day
belore each meal, Jane took' Jlr. tt.'i
cup, saucer and plate, and rubbed
them with raw onion, then standing
1 them on the stove until the moisture
dried on the china, she Bent them up
Btiiirs thoroughly . impregnated with

Mr. Groenlcnf would have parted
with' June after his foot wan aoalded,
hut, acTiug on Mrs, Oreorilcttf a hints,
she served up the most splendidly
cookotl meals, persuading h:m, by her
submissive air, and attention to his di
rections, that she was following out
his nlmtird whims.
"Juno," said Mr. Grecnleaf, coming
into the kitchen one morning, "J have
had a present of a pair of pvariu hens,
and f want them fricassed. Xow, I'm
not going out to-day, and I will show
you exactly how to do them."
"Yea, air," aid Jane.
"Well, wo will begin now."
"Wny, lors, sir, they will all bo
cold, fl' you cook them now."
"Not at all; they need a good deal
of cootting. Fifsent them up. " '
"Hadn't I belter clean them fust?"
"Yes, of course; I mean clean them.
Xow, cut Up."
"lttt they ought to be parboiled
whole."
"Xo, they aro not to be parboiled;
it makes thun tough. They will
cook f notign in the gravy."
jJetcrmim'd to let htm see what a
tiess he wits making, Jane followed
his instructions implicitly. The result
was, a mess that would have disgust
ed a savage. Dinner t'mo came, and
Mr. (jreenleaf stood rubbing his hands
over lu uisii; it retnatueu ou every
llate untouched. He put one mouth
iu! into his own mouth, and the called
Jane, iu a tone that threatened to
take root nil the House.' "What is
that?" pointing to the dish before him
"Thi-iii's the prairie hens, sir."
"What have Tou been putting lit
them?''

The l aiticulars nre brieilv thcae :
A fair maidett und gallant swain,
a pastoral iiograpticri would de
scribe them, wtioe respective families
ave long been fuvoraplv knowu in
the Southern metropolis, were aCi-
aiicid. i'roui the hwur of their eu
gagcuit nt the devotion of the young
man to his inamorata was all that the
most fastidious and exacting damsel
ould deaire. He was a coiistaut vis
itor at her residence and lavished up
ou her all the atteutions iu such fu
ses usual and expected. Presently,
however, another male candidate for
maU'imouial distinction came upon
the scene, aud as bis peculiar merits
shone somewhat more brilliantly
than those of the voutu already en
gaged, he was received with consid
erable warmth, aud it soon became
cry evident to the acquaintances
of the young lady that candidate
number one was not quite sure of her
tand. Still," as she hud promised to
bo his, he had no suspicion thut she
would ufciy him false, nor did she
give any plain sign of any iutcutiou
so to do. With the exception of the
occasional "miffs" peculiar to pre-
matrimonial relations, matters went
on smoothly efrbugh, and at length a
day was appointed for the all-import
ant ceremony. Jxtensivo arrange
ments for a splendid marriage feast
were made by the bridegroom-ex
ec la nt, und numerous invitations
were issued to the friends whom he
desired to share with him the festive
pleasures of tho happy day. The
cagbrly-looked-for morning arrived
at length, beamiug as brigutiy as a
rosy bride arrayed in glory for the
altar, aud every moment seemed a
day until the hour came at which the
process of figuratively converting
two persons into one was to be per
formed for the couple. u hen the
hour did come the eager youth took
proper measures to ascertain wheth
er the bride to be was ready for the
ordeal of the altar, and learned to
his amazement that she was a wife
already. Hardly an hour before she
had given her hand to candidate
number two, and bound herself . to
him a3 firmly as the ritual which all
young ladies make it a point to mas
ter ere they leave their teens could
make her. The nlted youtn, instead
of tearing all the curls out of his
hair and making a hurried repast on
strychnine or laudanum, bore his
chagrin like a true philosopher.
Giving directions to have the mar
riage-feast spread, he immediately
mvited the friends who had assem
bled to accompany him to the table
and there, with his guests, he passed
the evening as merrily as though a
bride was at his right hand. To tbe
most intimate of his friends he mado
no secret of his satisfaction at escap
ing a contract that, had it been con
summated, might have made him
miserable for life. It is doubtful
indeed, if the nuptial supper of the
fair and false one was as happy as
that of the man she had promised
to wed, but who, at the last moment
learned that she was not all his fancy
painted her.

THE I'KDilllKXTI tLlOiVTKNT!
The result of the elections, this:
fall, will have an important bearing
on the national contest of 1872. The
lartics, taking their cue from the pop
ular expression this year, will name
their candidates and shape their poli
tics in accordance therewith. Grant
will undoubtedly bo tho Republican
nominee for tho Presidency, because
tho elections having resulted generally
iu Jlej ublican mjcccssos; they will bo
taken as au indorsement ol his Admin
istration, and considered as a juasi
renominatiou by the people. It is
quite true that national politics have
entered Lut little into the looal slee-
tious, State policy being the tnatter
now particularly at issue, but Grant's
friends will so construe tho popular
expression as to make it a Grant en
dorsement, and will thus'Wenabled
to earrv him through. It would be
dillicult under almost any circumstan
ces to have defeated Ins re uomiua
tion. He has in every State an army
of Federal ollice-holdcrs with plenty
of money at their command, and
without auy conscientious scruples as
to the manner in which it should be
used. They are active, skilled iu pol
itical trickery, and, in every respect
formidable in the manipulation of the
machinery ol partv and the manage
ment of conventions. Keinforced as
they now are, with the prestage of
success for d rants Administration,
they will be irresistible. We con-
lU'.e, mereiore, tnat ins re iiomina-
tiou is assured, and we are heartily
glad of it. Had we the power to
nominate any of tho persons promi
nently spoken of for the position
among the Republicans, Grant would
be our choice. He is the weakest of
all, and can be beaten more easily.
He has scandalized ihe country by
his nepotism, startled its fears by
usurpation, and disgraced it by the
corruption that everywhere prevades
ihejpublic service. The most respect
able element of his party is at open
war with him. Such men as Greeley,
Sumner, Govemer Geary, Ex-Secretary
Cox, Carl Schurz and Gralz
Brown, do not attempt to couceal
their hostility. The Hostou Tracder
says that Sumner has, on more than
one occasion, said, "General Grant
is the lowest man that ever sat in the
Presidential Chair; lower, intellectu
ally, tltau Andrew Johnson; lower,
morally, than Franklin Pierce and
lower, socially, because, in private
life, Mr. Pierce was a gentleman.'
'"This," aays tho Tracckr, "ia the ex
act language used by Mr. Sumner,
wno uocs not iiesitate lrauklv to say
that General Grant should be im-
icaehcd for his coduct toward San
Domingo." We . do - not ace how
Sumner can vote for Grant, or use Lis
tiilnci'.fc for h.m in case of his re-
nomination. Schurz has not, so far
a we have seen, used any personal
abuse toward Graut, but he has flatly
declared, i:i a public speech that he
would not supMrt bun lor re-election.
Iu his Xashville speech he
made use of the following language,
"When I, tho other day, in a public
peeeh in Chicago, declared that I
would not bupjiort President Grant
for re-election on account of the mi
grant violation of the Costitution he
iu hits committed in the San Domin
go case, a great many of my republi
cau brethren were shocked bevoud
measure, and raised a ery of "high
treason against the party, while some
of the feeble in mind exclaimed that
my making such a declaration was a
sure sign that I must have been dis
appointed in the matter of patronage.
1 may assure them that 1 spoke with
cool and mature deliberation, for it
will not do to tritle with such cases."
We have here the repeated declara
tions of two of tho most influential
men of the party, representing too,
the liadicaf and Conservative ele
ments, and also the East and West.
Should the Democrrcy.act discreetly
by making good nominations, aud
dopting a sound platform, wo do not
believe trant can possibly bo re
elected. What the Democracy will
lo, cannot ha conjectured at this time
Whether the nominee will bo Chase,
Groesbeck, or some one not now
spoken of, the future can only deter
mine. The reverses sustained this
fall will demonstrate the necessity of
nomiuaung tho very strongert and
most avilable man. Our choice is for
an old liner who has stood by the
party through all its trials, but we
have faith to believe that whatever is
best will be done. There appears to
be a disposition upon the part of
Southern Democracy to leave the
nominations and the shaping of the
policv of the party entirely to their
brethren of the North, and they aro
engaged at discussing the propriety
ol sending no delegates to the .N la
tional Convention, lhis appears to
be the policy recommended by Gen
Wade Hampton, and he is sustained
by a portion ol tho press. Iho rea
son giveu is that they do not wish to
have tho party embarrassed on their
account, and think, therefore, that by
entrusting the entire management to
the Northern Democracy, this danger
will be avoided. Whilst we doubt
the policy of absenting themselves
from the Convention, their motives
are certainly most praisworthyV

From the Cii.Mi.Diti Times and Chronicle
A TRUE LOVE TALE.
How a Iteautiful M;ivc ( optured
u our;ly I're:ieliuiiau. ,
We are iu receipt, through Paris
letters, of a very, romantic and o'er
true tale concerning 51. Bendetii,
the French diplomat, Vho has al
ready made so much talk in the
world, and upon whose Hhoulders
tho immediate responsibility of . the
lute war was thought to lie. The in
cident have not, as yet, leaked out in
America, and will prove of interest
to those who delight in roaSned pie
ces of . gossip and romantic narra
tives of love.
Very early in the diplomatic career
of the French Embassador bodily fa
tigue led him to take a pleasure trip
throagktlbut uumt delightful portion
of the globe included in Greece and
the Ionian Isles, and the countries
that lie about the Sea of Marmora
and the Uosphorus. At Athens he
fell iu with a Greek merchant, of el
egant manners and attainments, to
wiiose own personal attractions was
added that of a daugbtcr, the most
beautiful iu form and feature that
the eyes of the statesman had ever
lit upon. A Frenchman hi not slow
to
TELL HIS LOVE,
Especially when joined to that insou
stance and social daring that comes
of long life in the most polished of
European Courts, and the weeks that
they passed under tho golden fckies
of the Levant among the peerless
Islands of the Archipelago and in
the orange and spice groves of Mar
mora were glowing with the warm
light of a true love that ran smooth
a liquid velvet. Then came the dis
agreeable task of asking papa, and
the dramatic crisis of ur lalo. The !
courtly merchant heard the French
man's patriotic declaration in a style
considerably different from that of
the three-act drama which Jod-bles-cs-you-my-ebiidreu,
and adds several
pillow-cases full of gold and jewels.
The eyes of the old man acre filled
with tears, and the disclosure which
lie insisted upon making ran as fol
lows: Some two years previous he,
too,
WEARIED IS 1IISD ASl liODT,
lad started out for a pleasure jaunt
that led bim through the Golden
lorn into the city of Constantino
ple. Strolling through the slave
marts one day, his eyes Lad fallen
upon a young girl of more matchless
beauty than it had entered into his
heart to conceive of. The disorder
ed state of her garments drooping
ing from her full white neck and
shoulders, the disheveled hair pour
ing its glossy black over cheek and
bust, and the mingled look of terror
and anguish in her great black eyes,
waked iiU the pitv and love that had
lain dormant in his heart for rears,
and that night the apartments of the j
wealthy Greek were lit by the glad
smile of the lovely and grateful
slave. A year passed, and as coming
age drove passion from the merchant's
blood there came into it
A GUEAT LOVE ASD EEGABD
For the young woman he had taken
iuto his household, and after no lit
tle hesitation and mental struggle he
not only released her from slavery,
but adopted her as his own child and
spared no effort to fit her for the po
sition that the wealth and standing
of her accepted father entitled her
to. it was at this juncture that she
met 51. Eeudetli, and it is a bright
spot in thut chivalry for which France
was once so famous, that these pain
ful disclosures added to rather than
lessened his love. They were mar
ried, aud upon the death of the mer
chant, who did not long survive the
oss of the slave and daughter,
THE WHOLE OF HIS VAST FOBTCXE
Wa3 found to be willed to Mme.
Benedetti, utterly ignoring several
heirs-at-law. It is this fact which
has led to the exposure of the tale,
and may yet causa the French states-
ni na much trouble. Suit was imme
diately brought by the incensed rela
tives to contest the will, but the great
influence of M. Benedetti kept it out
of the Courts. The overthrow of
the Empire, however, now allows the
law to take its own course, and it is
to be feared that the fair slave will
be shorn of most of her fortune.
There is enough left, however, in
face and form, if all tales be true, to
make the Frenchman bless to his dy
ing day his pleasure jaunt through
) golaen sunslane of the Grecian
Isles.

The Squike's Indigestion. Old
Squire II. was a very successful
and substantial fanner, in an interior
town of Massachusetts, and a more
amazing cater never lived in any town
anywhere. And especially much did
he eat when fresh pork was to be the
nourishment. Well, at a certain time
one ot his hogs had been killed. The
next morning there w as to be fresh
pork for breakfast, and the old man
eat most wondrously. In the course
of the forenoon he ate his luncheon,
consisting of bread and butter and
mince pie and cheese. At noon his
dinner consisted of fresh pork, pickles,
mince pie, and the usual accompani
ments. His afternoon lunch was like
that of the forenoon. When he came
home to his supper, Ids favorite dish
had been prepared as a part of that
meal. ,The old man fretted and
scolded till fresh pork Was added to
the substantials. He ate voraciously,
as usual. In the evening he toasted
some cheese, buttered and ate it Just
before going to bed he roasted a
couple of apples and ate them. In :
the night he was taken with a se
vere colic ; the doctor was with him
till morning, and wrought. a miracle
iu saving the old man's Ufe. The next
day Bolles W., one of his neighbors,
went in to condole with the old
Squire. "Faithful Bolles," said the.
old worthy, " I liked to have died last
night, I'll never eat another roast
apple as long as I live. I never did
love them very well ; and last night I
ate only two, and they nearly killed
me."
