A romantic story comes from Kansas City, Missouri, anil, like many otheis, its incidents have grown out of the war. la ISO I, a young man of Kansas Citv enlisted in the Confederate service, receiv ing as a parting gift from his mo ther a plain gold ring. In 1804, the'' young man was taken sick at Clarksville, Texas, and during his delirium lost this ring. After a fruitless search, he gave up all hopes of ever. seeing it again, and when sufficiently recovered to leave the place, he remarked to his nurse, a " pretty and amiable girl," that if she would find his ring, he would come back and marry her. At the close of the war he returned home, where the loss of his mother re called the lost ring to his memory, and so he wrote to his former nurse, in 18G9, asking if she was still sin gle, and if she had found the ring. In 1870, he received an answer from the maiden, saying that she was still single, and that only five days before, in the course of some repairs to the house, the ring had been found. The denouement can, c: course, be easily guessed. A new offer of marriage was made and accepted, and with money in his pocke., and a good home be hind, the man has gone to Texas to bring back his " bonny bride." .. . -o .- 1 1 EXCELLENT In'TERST RULE.

The Velvetdom of New York at the Grand Ball Col. Jim Fisk a no the Naval Officers Strang e Vicissitudes Tn e Sainted Turkey Amusements The Mace-Cobuen Contest jArANEsE PltlNCEs AND FeGEE Island i m. New York, Dec. , .1871.' The ball given in 'honor of the Grand Duke Alexis was undoubt edly the finest affair of the kind in many years. If it had drawbacks they must be ascribed to that charming characteristic of the gen uine New Yorker to make money somehow, but to make it ; and to that other social peculiarity, which permits a conglommeration of the elite and the riff-raff, especially if Itff-raif has on its paste breast pins and good clothes. The tick ets of admission were nominally $10, but the perennial committee man quietly added another magic circle to the figure, pocketed the ninety dollars of profit as his re ward of merit, and so exacted trib ute from those among Noodledom and Poodledoni who, since the ar rival of the Duke, have been stand ing, metaphorically, on their social heads, in their mad desire to smell the atmosphere of royalty. Yet the ball itself was a magnificent display; a charming jam and jum ble of bright eyes, handsome faces, pretty speeches and rich toilettes. Fully four thousand persons were present, who, between dress, dia monds and political titles, repre sented the curious patchwork of " Our Best Society." Of course, there were some odds and ends to the Mosaic, which will not bear microscopic examination, but then, you know one gets tangled among these so often now-a-days, that they must be regarded as a part of the " make-up" of all strictly fashion able comedies, and not be scrutin ized with those virtuous winks which, in well regulated circles, sometimes disturb the whole side of a woman's face. Apropos of the New York ball, another was given to the Grand Duke by the Naval officers, at Brooklyn, and c.- vorv col ( t. inn autocratic it was, that marines were stationed to stop the street cars containing "the common people" from passing through the scented air of the vicinity, while the police were especially rnjoined to prevent the entrance of Col. James Tusk, should that famous personage put in an appearance. To his brother Colonels of the New York regi ments invitations were freely issued, but, be it said in their honor, that every one of them resented the slight intended for their associate, by persistently staying away. Now Jim v;i- " as he is called, may have his foibles and heaven knows that his personal af fairs have been ventilated by the Jenkinses of the press down to the very creaking of his boots he may have operated boldly in Wall street ; run the Erie Railway to suit himself, or done a score of questionable acts characteristic of the strong individuality of the man: but all these have their off sets, and when the ledger of our lives is opened, I fancy there will he found standing to his credit a balance of greater good than evil. As lie was passing the grand stand of the committee and its families, at the head of his fine regiment, on the day of the reception parade, the few parvenus Leathered 'there had the bad taste to vent their spleen at him in the presence of the Duke a curious exhibition of borrowed mariners but elsewhere nlon r the entire route, from the t broilers upon the sidewalks and the crowds in the windows, the wavimr handkerchiefs of the ladies, and the cheers of the men, testified that the people of New York had i.nr tm-o-ntion T ie man wno. in t I V ' W ' . - - - - - i with the means of relief, and him self driving from door to door to receive thcTcontributions from the public. They had not forgotten the enterprise that had given to the metropolis the two most ele rant stcaiushins in the world : that had j l re-orgaiii.ed and created a crack " regiment of volunteer soldiery, with a band of one bun dred and fifty musicians ; that had built an opera-house; and, in short, done a thousand good things, that lend such brightness to a man's character that his faults are seen only in the shadow. The Naval gentlemen admitted to their ball a great many individuals worse thrui James Fisk, and the true man hood of New York to-day has no sympathy with the snobbihness which made flesh of one and fish of the other. In wandering around New Y'ork one occasionally sees strange char acters who illustrate, in a melan choly manner, the"ups and downs" the vibratory vicissitudes of city life. Taking" an avenue car the other evening, I finished a cigar on the front platform. There was an expression on the face of the driver as the fitful Hashes of the gas lamps rested on it, so sad, so intel ligent, so full of a manhood far above that which is ordinarily writ ten on the physiognomy of his class, that I felt impelled to be come for the 'nonce a sort of inter rogation point. lie met my ad vances kindly, and after a little while told me, with a voice full of gentle tones, the story of his life. Years ago he was clerk in a large establishment down town, and as a commercial traveler visited most of the prominent cities of the United States. Eventually he became a partner, made money. and was prosperous in the relations of busi ness. A wife and three daughters were the jewels of his home, and they lived in a style becoming their means. The firm was overtaken by the panic of 1857, and, unable to stem the current, went down. Private property was absorbed in the payment of debts, and a few months found him penniless. lie became a clerk, supported himself on a mere pittance, went into the army in 1S02, was disabled, his wife and daughters meanwhile died and he returned to a desolate household, almost broken-hearted. Bad luck seemed to follow his foot steps, and all of his efforts to get out of the mire proved futile. At last, made desperate by the prints of want which had already crossed his threshold he secured his pres ent humble position, and for the last two years, through winter's cold and summer's heat, has held the reins over a pair of horses who, with all their toil, doubtless enjoy infinitely more of the solid com forts of existence than their unfor tunate driver. But such is life. Pascals enjoy the rosewood and velvet, while in telligent worth too often ''walks the earth with bleeding feet." The weather has become intense y cold, and in twenty four hours every skating run. an i pane in these latitudes will blossom into its 'antastic winter display of circling brins and flirtations on ice. The water begins to stick m the halt- rozen pipes like the aniens in Mac beth' throat, and the public foun tains are covered with the frosty beard of the dying year. Thanksgiving, for the first time, was celebrated as a national anni versary, and the people, having their bone to pick with the annual turkey, picked it. clean. Millions of the patron saint were martyr ized. The stores were closed ; business was hid under a bushel, and the few wayfarers on the street hurrying homeward looked as if they were taking a lingering meal with their eyes on defunct gob- blings. The unfortunates m the miblie institutions were treated to m extra dinner ; and hilarity gen erally drifted from its moorings, and for the nonce traveled around loose. The theaters are in full blast, and present unusual attractions. Nil sson, Capoul, Wachtel, in opera ; Edwin Booth, m l lam let; John J v. Owens, in Solon Shingle ; Anne, in opera bou lie ; Sothern, as Lord Dundreary; besides a dozen lesser lights, are drawing line audiences. The partial panic resulting from the suspension of the Bowling Green, the Guardian, and Stuyves- ant banks lias abated. All ot the institutions make a better showing than was anticipated, and the de positors are re-assured and hopeful. It is thought that pecuniary com plications with some of the uis graceful public officials may have had something to (to with tne "run whh-h compelled the banks to close their doors. The Mace-Coburn prize-fight is re gar d e d h e re in t h e u n c h r i t i a n parlance of the natives as a "put up job," and disgust at the results extends even to the virtuous swens of Upper Ten do m. Why Coburn, the party of the first part, did not, with his "left duke," pro pound such a proposition on me knowlege-nox ot Alace, as to se cure for that distinguished gladia tor an obituary notice wnile m the TP'dth of his fame: and vrhy Jem Mace, as the party of the secom part, and true type of the muscu lur missionary, did not "plump' r.nn " bnUC l Ot flVCS" PJtO tllC bread basket, and with the other assault the " spectacletar-probocis of the aforesaid Coburn, in such a righteous manner, as to call for a first-class funeral, are questions which disturb this religious com munity.. They don't understand the wavs of Providence. Ten Japanese princes are at one of tK Yn,.' York hotels, ai route to Oxford, England, to be educat ed. They are minus pig-tails and oriental drapery ; in manners are evidently gentlemen by nature, and in speech gentlemen by cul ture. Their command of English, especially when under sail among the vowels, is admirable, in view of the fact that they learned it in their own country ; but when they strike an archipelego of our Anglo-Saxon consonants" they get awfully wrecked, and act "very much as if they had a severe at tack of diptheria, or a piece of beef in their throats. Three cannibals are also (n route Fcgee Islanders, who have been dieting on the broiled clergymen. New York is in doubt how to ovate tJiem, and Dclmonico is in despair at the prospect of being ordered to serve up some of his boned friends the politicians. A KUSONNE. A Parallel. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, a Republican paper, draws the iol- owmg parallel : Andy Johnson had faults enough, ut avarice was not one of them. He owned, notwithstanding, while io was President, a few thousand lollars' worth 'of railroad bonds or shares in Tennessee ; but the exi gencies ot war prevented him from hsposmg ot them, and he did not realize anything from their interest. Johnson, according to report, occa- lonallv took a drink. -Grant, ac cording to report, does so quite fre tuently. Jut tyrant has one griev ous fault which Johnson has not. Fhe latter, during his entire official ife, from Alderman to President," never accepted a present amount ing in value to $50. Grant, dur ing a period of less than six years, las accepted presents amounting in cash value, presents that money ought, to scores of thousands of lollars. The only one he was ever known to refuse was the biich pup rom Cleveland, Ohio, on which there wen; express char-res amount- ing, I believe, to 810. He has ac cepted houses and lots, horses nnd carriages, libraries and works of art, live stock and furniture, wines, cigars, and, indeed, everything that was oilered.

Jonnson was too poor to drive handsome horses, and his sta bles were scanty enough. In the White House stables, in Johnson's tune, there were live horses; there are now eigntecn, mciiuimg the sore-tailed colt. The Earth and the Planets- Science has shown, says a French philosopher, that the physical and climatoiogical conditions ot the earth and the other planets are identical. On those planets, as on the earth, the sun shines and dis aiipears yielding place to night, and cold and darkness succeed to heat and light. In them, as on the earth, the rich carpet of herbage covers . i . l 1 l : n uie piams, ami lUAiiriau. woods cover the mountains. Rivers flow maiesticallv on to the seas. Winds blow regularly or irregularly, and purify the atmosphere by mingling their strata charged m different de grees with the product of the evaporation of their soil. In quiet nights, dwellers on these planets see the . same heavenly spectacle that delights our eyes, the same costellations, the same celestial visitors. x hey have panoramic views of the planetary globes with their following of faithful satellites and luminous stars, shining like gently .brandished torches. Once in a while there is a sudden lumin ous trail, which furrows the heav- ens like a nasi, ot silver: it is a star that shoots and drops into the depths of space. Again, it is rn comet, with a beautiful trail, that comes to bring news from workb millions of miles away. 0-J ice i res hi en t. onax nas so often expressed and reiterated his irrevocable determination to aban don political life, in the face of a public that is indifferent whether , he docs or not, that his resignation h",s got to be as suspicious as that of the ancient virgin at the sack of St. Sebastian, who was so vehe mently opposed to being ravished, even while there was no evidence that she was in danger. Why don't Mr. Colfax wait for the ravishing to begin, before he cries out ? The Joica lie form .Leader is the name of a paper -published at Os ealoosaby tho " Iowa Reform Pub lishing Company."

Sometimes great men, so-called, utter fallacies decorated in glitter ing verbal garbs which elicit great applause, while if the same were spoken by others of lesser note, they would not attract attention. Here is an illustration : Senator Morton, who is regarded as one of the biggest guns of the Radical party, said, "We want no p.rma manent laboring classes in this country. The child of a laborer may become a Governor, or the President of the nation, while the child of the rich may, through im providence, lose his wealth and po sition and become a laborer." While no one will doubt these facts, how, we ask, is their exist ence to prevent our having a per manent laboring class? "Let all our Governors and Presidents come from the laborers, and yet no perceptible impression would be made on the millions who earn their living by the sweat of their biow. It is very true that we must have in this country no law to pre vent a laboring man or his son from rising to highest stations. The road to honor and wealth must be preserved unobstructed to all. We must not onlT keep it open, but we must facilitate the journey of the adventurous travel er who seeks, from the lowest so cial vales, to climb "the steep where lame s proud temple shines." We must give him words of encouragement and furnish him, ere he starts, with the scaling in struments of education. But there ire a limited number who can rise above the great r.rimeval curse. j. and in this and all other countries there will be a permanent laboring class. Some may full into it and others may rise from it, but there it will remain immutable as the o-re-it. ocean There is work for head and muscle, out i t neither can do with out the other. A single head plans great works of improvement, and gives employment to thous ands of brawny arms. For these there is always something to do. while it is, easy to overcrowd the fields of mental labor. No mat ter how great the supply of genius it cannot force a market. The de- maud for this is necessarily limited, and that is why nature only once in a while produces such men as Bacon, and Shakspearc, and Mil ton, and eostcr. While, therefore, it is a fact that we will always have a permanent laboring class, and it is only through such that the greatness of our nations can be developed, we snouia aim io improve it as aciass and lessen the distance between 1 11 4 1 those who toil with their hands and those who toil with with their brains. This we can only do by systematizing labor by lessening the hours of manual toil by edu cating the minds as well as "the nerves and muscles of the labor-iii'- classes. For this reason we favor compulsory education. La bor is pronounced a curse, but when accompanied with gross ig- . Til I norance, it is a ctouuie curse, n mcn could read they would read, and it is by reading that great so cial reform is wrought. Now that the press has become such a power in the lann now mat, iikc snow- flakes, the daily papers fall about us, filled with mental food for those who can appropriate it, it becomes doubly necessary that every man should know how to read. HowT is it that a few great capitalists few in comparison with those who are not capitalists manage to rule the country ? How is it that Presidents, and Su preme Courts, and Congresses, and State Legislatures are all managed and controlled br them ? How is it that they are suffered to wield the powers of government as to levy contributions upon the toiling masses, for their own enrichment? It is because those masses are not true to themselves are not edu cated, and consequently cannot be true to their own real interests. mi . xney are m too many mst; n -es mere human machines, moving as thev are moved, marching to the polls like dumb driven cattle, - and depositing their ballots as they are told not as their own intelligence directs. Some may say it is well that the laboring men do not understand their power. If the horses or oxen understood theirs, they would soon destroy these wno make them tod Great power, mischievously no uiimwy wieiaeu, is to ne depre cated ; but when controlled by in telligence and mi no, it is grand m its operations, oi recent vears the laboring classes have been making noble exertions to better themselves. They have effective organizations in many States, Could they but unite their strength an exercise it to a single 'purpose, - and with, concerted action, they would soon have capital. But, un- fortunately, laboring uca are nn- r igja-xjg3:s: wary and easily deceived, and hence thev lend their oganizations m too many instances, not to then own amelioration, but to the ad vancement of the schemes of cor rupt politicians, who use them for selfish ends. U'ntil they learn to guard against these they can ex pect to accomplish nothing. Their labor organizations will be in vain. They must not only remain a per manent laboring class, but con tinue to be the hewers of wood and drawers of water to men who toil not nor spin. One of their class, here and there, may rise to high station, but it will 'avail them naught. The true friend of the la boring class will not flatter them, but impress upon them the necessi ty of improving their condition as laboring men. This they can do, but the primal curse will yet en dure forever. Is Female Eulfage a rand ? Lectuee ey Mus. Xoiitox, at Xewaiik Can Women Work Like Men Ihk Equality of the Sexes. Af.Mnterc sting lecture was deliv ered Nov. 23d, at Newark, N. J., by Mrs Sarah Norton, on female suffrage. Mrs. Norton, who had heretofore been an advocate of the doctrine, prefaced her lecture by remarking that as female sultrage was considered by many to be a progressive movement she would simply say that she had "rno guessed" out of it. There was at the present time a widespread contagion of various kinds of movements and isms, or what may be termed in political phraseology "new departures" from those well-tried systems under which the world has prospered. Among these the most dangerous yet in operation was that known as the "woman's rights movement." Woman's rights sounded grand at first hearing to large-min led men who revered woman, and they en dorsed the movement "on sight," not because the women of their own households required anything which was promised by its success, but because there might be women who did, and because they could deny nothing to women, it sound ed exceedingly promising to a cer tain class of unoccupied, unambi tious, childless, or unloved women (applause and laughter) and from those two classes the movement gained its proselytes. Everything turned upon want of proper occu pation; when this was lacking in women or men of certain tempera ments they were ALWAYS niri: for mischief. (Laughter.) All the women who publicly advocated woman's rights were those who had failed to find their proper place in lifet Mary Wolstencraft, the contemner of marriage, fust originated this sub-f tie and illusionary disease--it was as much a disease as yellow fever or the small-pox. (Laughter.) The growth of all the evils com plained of by women's rights ad- vo.ates war because ot the tenden cy of society towards the very conditions they strive to estao- 'jIie subject of wo:iiaiits redits, followed out to its logical conclusions, legitimately merged into and ended in the repudiation of the Bible, the abolition of mar riage, and of the establishment of free love in its most revolting sense, or no love at all, as such a state of things would suppress nature her self and place humanity below the level of unreasonable brutes. There is no such thing as EQUALITY OF TI1F SEXES, or of classes, or races, or any other two things between which nature has. drawn her dividing line. There were three reasons why, if .voman could, she should not en- -are m man s worK. 1 he nrsi is that so doing would bring the sex es into too close contact it was not wise to hold fire to liax. Laughter. Few -women couid j transact business on purely busi principles, everything with them turned upon a matter ' of feeling. Likes anddisnk.es controlled them and took precedence of judgment iml principle; facts were nothing, opinion was everything.- Many a woman had lost t lie iove ot her husband through her ignorance of household matters, and whether he went or stayed she had .virtual ly lost him. As all things contain ed in themselves the elements of their own destruction, so did all things contain in themselves the ele ments of their own .salvation, ana where was the law more supreme than in the relation of man and woman?

Early marriages and no divorce laws were the rem edies she would suggest for tW greater proportion of marital diffi culties. The possibility of mankd? people being able to separate was. the roisoNous groundwork . which made the contemplation of it possible, and in nine cases out of ten bred tire discontent which mad do separation seem a necessity. Un der a republican form of govern ment, where individual freedom was the fundamental law and the franchise the exponent of that free dom, women had the same right to it that men had, else they must bo designated and proved to be not citizens; but admiting the right, it was not always wise bj use the rights that we had or might claim, when the good and evil results of doing so were equally balanced; but in the present case, where there was no good and all evil, the right,, anomalous as it appeared, assumed the form of highly stupendous wrong. Applauscj Housekeeping ox a Small Scale. Within a mile of the city of Concord, New Hampshire, on the free-bridge road leading to the "dark plains," is a newly built miniature house, the dimensions of which are only about ten feet long,, eight feet wide, and seven feet high. It has two small windows and a door on the front side, and a stove-pipe through the roof is substituted for a chimney. In this diminutive dwelling reside a man and wife, with four children, from ix months to six years of age, all of decent appearance, and ot at least ordinary intelligence. Prob ably there is not another instanco of such compact housekeeping among Americans out of large cities. The house is situated near a public watering-trough, at a turn in the road. The eldest of the children mentioned (a bright little boy) seems to make a business of standing on the top of the trough, and unchecking the horses that come up, thus often receiving are ward of a few cents for his ingen ious enterprise. Grumblers at Newspapers.- Horace Greeley hits the nail on tho head when he says: " It is strange how closely men read the pagers. We never say anything that any body don't like, but we soon hear of it, and everybody tells us about it. If, however, once in a while, we happen to say a good thing, we never hear of that nobody seems to notice that. We may pay some man a hundred compliments, and. give him a dozen puffs, and be takes it as a tribute to his great--ness, and never thinks of it nev er thinks it does him any good.. But if we happen to say anything this man don't like, or something that he imagines is a reflection on him or his character, see how quick he flares up and gets mad about it. AH our evils are duly charged to us but we never, apparently, get- any credit for what good we do,' Air Beds in the Morning. The wise housekeeper should seo to it that all the beds should bo aired immediately after being oc cupied. The impurities which em anate from the human body from insensible perspiration, arc mado up of minute atoms, which, if al lowed to remain long, are absorbed by the bed, .and . will then, to a greater or less extent, vitiate the air for a considerable time after ward. Let the occupant throw the bed open on rising, and, as soon as is convenient, open the windows, and ventilate the sleeping room. One hour's early ventilation is worth two hours' late airing. An Iowa gentleman who was involved in domestic troubles met with a genuine "Job comforter" the other morning.
