Judging the future by the past, we enter with confidence upon this our new enterprise of separating our Wholesale from our Retail Trade, by having a seprate and distinct House for each and in doing so we natter ourselves that it Will not on ly meet the approval of our numerous customers, but that an "Exclusive Wholesale House" will bring us a large influx of new trade, and of a character not heretofore enjoyed. It must be obvious to every buyer that a strictly " Wholesale House' arranged and adapted for that Trade only, with a corps of experienced Wholesale Salesmen, with a Stock carefully selected for that JTrade only, and moreover, the avoidance of coming in contact with retail buyers, which to and you all have heretofore found to be so irksome, as it fre quently happens that the retail buyer is your very neighbor, (perhaps your own customer). Such a bouse, we assert, must and will com mend itself to the Trade. Four years ago we advertised that we intend ed to make Charlotte a wholesale mart and era "The Wholesale House." We now have the proud satisfaction of seeing it an accomplished We now call your attention to the fact thai we have converted onr suberb store into an ex clusive Wholesale House, where you can and all lines of Roods necessary for a country store, to-wit : Dry-goods, Clothing, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Notions, (Groceries, Hardware, Millinery all In complete lines, bought in Urge quantities and from the very first hands.

The company having the scheme in charge are ' said to have plenty ot money and liberal charter. They expect to demonstrate the feasibili ty of a tunnel so strongly that they will have no difficulty in getting, in addition to subsides from France and England, any funds they may need. 1 he idea of a tunnel under the sea na turally strikes the popular imagination, and most people fancy to pass under the V li-l- 't . Augusn j nan net requires to narrow in tbe bowels of the earth to depths hitherto unknown. As regards the Channel this is a mistake. For instance there will be a far smaller distance between the roof of the submarine tunnel and the surface of the water than there is between the roof of the sub-Alpine tunnel and the summit of Mount Cenis. It is hardly necessary to say that the tunnel must be excavated greatly below the bottom of the sea, so that its roof should be of such thickness as to be thoroughly impervious to water. There is, indeed, something rather awful in tbe idea that millions upon millions of tons of water will be weighing on the sub terranean gallery. But in point of fact it is an idea and nothing more. The pres ure of water on the tunnel will be abso lutely nil, and the only pressure that will have to be provided against will be the pressure of superincumbent earth. More over it must not be forgotten that there are mines in England whose works extend for two miles under the sea, and in one of Cornish mines the crust of earth between the working and the watter is so thin that the men can distinctly hear the rumbling of the shingle as it is rolled backward and forward by tbe waves. The roof of the Anglo thick enough to exclude all oceanic noises ; upwards ot ISO teet ot chalk and clay will divide the tunnel from the water. In addition, it is hardly necesssary to say that it will be carefully bricked up ; in fact an earthquake itself could hardly im pair its safety. It had been originally intended to construct two enormous shafts close to the shore, through which pas s e tigers and goods would have to be let down, shipped on board the submarine train and then hoisted np again when they had been conveyed across. This plan has now been abandoned. It had been detenniued to prolong the tnnnel far enongh inland on both sides of the chan nel so as to euable the journey to be effec ted without a break. A gentle incline will gradually lead the train from tli Continent to the submarine portion of the permanent way ; an equally gentle ascent will land it on the shores of Britain.

The girl had nothing to say; the boy cried out, "They surely are not going to marry me to that dowdy!" But married tbey ware. A post chaise was at the door; the bridegroom was packed oft with his tutor to make tbe grand tonr, and the bride was sent back to her mother. Lord March remained a broad for several years, after which he re turned to London, a well-educattcd, hand some young man, but in no haste to meet his wife, whom he had never seen except upon the occasion of their hasty marriage. So he tarried in London to amuse himself. One night at tbe opera his attention was attracted to a beautiful young lady in one of the boxes. ''Who is that?" he asked of a gentleman beside him. "You must be a stranger in London," was the reply, lot to know the toast of the town, the beautiful Lady March." The Earl went straight to tbe box, announced himself, end claimed his bride. The two fell in love with each other on tha spot, and live- ed long and happily together, and when the husband died she also died of a broken heart within afew mounths. The Galaxy. j Good Cooking. A Northern journal thus discourses on a savory subject: People are apt to. think of the Scottish cuisine as a thing gritty with oatmeal and pale with eternal dough. But tie not so; A fastidious French traveler it may have been M. Taine who went desparingly over Britain without getting a really good dinner, found at last iu Edinburgh a dish be iitxed, a llaggis, and partook of it with pathetic joy, crying. "At last an ar tist!" As for the cookery of England, one of her own people says is the worst, most wasteful snd unwholesome to be found in any civilised country, and that the average Englishman and the savage are the only human beings to whom cooking means simply warming meat at a fire, Well, whatever Britain's cookery may be, it is certainly from her Puritan daughters that America got her dishes, most individual, spicy, and, if not exactly delicate, at least tastefull. Mistress Gail Hamilton doth shrewdly boast of New England baked beans, and truly she hath reason. New England and divers regions in the Middle States have ways of dresso ing vegetables and treating fowls calcula ted to humiliate a Soyer. In these parts of our country alone may be seen the cook ing at which we may "point with pride" as being characteristically Anglo-Saxon and American. Io Baltimore and Richs mood and New Orleans the ancient French element entered the kitchens a century ago, nod their sable cooks, who are truly accomplished, put their whole minds right into the evolution of strange delicacies of subtle imagination nod wondrous flavor, j NO CHILDREN. A home without children is like heaven without angels. We often hear landlords prefer some of heir tenants because they have no children. Advertisments, of bouses to let or board, are qualified by the words, "without children." Children are an incumbrance, a nuisance, and are not wauled. Supposing tbey change tbe or der, and say, "Select circles and classes of society, and single person, and child less parents;" houses and homes where no Iliaje lips pi an ie, no nine voices crj. uuw stiff and prim the parlors, how orderly and rr ichanical the company, how cold and formal the salutations; there is no romp nor fun there, no scratches on the furni tupnothiug awry, no glee. The guests are like fish cold blooded; no throb of paternal feeling beats in those veins; no pets nor playthings, because no children are there. Any of tbe company are free to bring in a kitten or poodle, with weak eyes, and the corners of his mouth a tracked in channels, like the stream that flows from the lips of a tobacco chewer; to be fondled aud kissed, sod lie on the lap of its devoted mistress. But no children. Better sweep the flowers from the soil, better pluck the stars from the sky; yes, let paint and varnish and upholster go, but let the children some. Next to the song of an angel is the laugh of a child. And the heart that can feel, and the lips that can say, "I hate children," should ex change places with Lot's wife. The man or woman who has fallen, no matter what the crime is, who retains in his or her soul the love of song, of flowers and of children, has not yet been left without tbe ministry of angels, to woo and to win them back to virtue. And the home that has not echoed to the merry voices of childhood, has not yet been bap tized to its nam", oven though formal pray ers may have dedicated it to the purpose of a home. However close may be tbe affinities of loving nature, the bond that perfect that union is only found in parent age. Tbe full heart is never known nn til parental love reveals it. A KENTUCKY STORY.

And to sdd to tbe delusion of tbe senses, the morning breeze bore upon its wings a warm and grateful perfume from tbe thousand odorous trees snd flowers of the shore. Landing upon the main land and penetrating the shades which they had beheld at a distance, it would seem impossible, to imagine the conceptions of their hraius and the rapture of their hearts. On every baud were beauty and riches ex eeediug far the wildest dreams. As they walked beueath the overshadowing and in interlocks. i branches, and among the tall. straight pines, spots of sylvan beauty, be Such was tbe scene presented to these ad verturous Englishmen on that Jaly day. as they surveyed our eon tin eat two hundred aud ninety Tears ago. Tbe story of the great Raleigh fs efforts to people It, and the ate of bis colonists, will set be further fol lowed. These attempts perished by the in iquitous blow which laid their great author In the dust. HIE CRIME WAS PATRIOTISM. tbe offence of U others, least forgiven and most bloodily punished by weak or wicked tyrants. Bat history has amply avenged him. His splendid intellect, large attain ments, high courage chivalrous devotion noble character and pure patriotism shine all the brighter ia the annals of English glory by the toil of his mean, corrupt and slob- tiA-g ter.. There is no character in English history that takes a stronger grasp upon the imagi nation of the American people especially the youth than does that of Raleigh. The age io wl ich be lived was tbe very heyday, of what may be termed utilitarian chivalry. The fantastic freaks and fancies of knight errantry and practical vagabondism, bad measurably yielded before the more serious business of life. Of the causes which led to this, not even the advance of letters, nor the overthrow of priestly rule, did so much . per haps, as the discovery of this great western world. Opening so wide a field for fame, riches aud uational sggraodixment, tbe ambi tious, the sdventerous and the needy from all western Eat ope rushed toward the land of golden promise, with sll the seal and flery enthusiasm which the warlike spirit of the times inspired. The marvelous stories of returning voysers, the homeward boond fleets of Spanish galleons laden with glitter ing treasure, and the glory ot distant adven ture, set Europe in a blaze. England was not only stirred with this feeling, but was likewise burning with a fiery hatred of the Spaniards, the pioneers ia this movement ; a feeling which partook of both religion sad politics. Armed British cruisers boob filled tbe seas, both to discover and settle new countries sod to capture Spanish gold ship ; and while Raleigh engaged among tbe fore most and bravest in these enterprises, the mean sordid passions which they so natur ally engendered in others left no mark a pun him. His high and noble nature was un polluted throughout all tbe trials, temptations snd woudrous vicissitudes so which it subjected, snd came out pure gold.

It is a wagon, so arranged that, after being set in motion it runs itself by virtue of the fact that tbe weight of gravitatiou is tbiown forward of the centre ot motion, ana cousequeiitiv he machine is compelled to run. It has been the intention of tbe inventor to have his vagon at the fair on tbe 9:h of Sep tember, so that its value may be tested publicly in the presence of the thousands of people who will bo preseut ; and we earn from one of our best macbauics thai ast Wednesday tbe same day of the circus the old negro mounted the ma chine, adjusted the bauds, tipped the bal ance weight over the centre of motion, gave the driving wheel a shove, and, star ted for Franklin, to report to John b Montague, Secretary of the Association, and have his machine regularly entered on the books. About one mile this side of the old negto's home there is a noted point called "Bed Fond," immediately at the forks of the Cross Plains and Spring field roads, and here, unfortunately, an accident occurred which we fear will cause a disappointment to many inventors who were coming to our fair tor tne purpose of examining this wonderful, invention. The machine was humming along the smooth, sandy road at about fifteen miles an hour and the happy invcutor on deck, feeliner as nroud as Fulton on board his Barnuk's Marriage. In the inter val that to Mow 8 tbe taking of tbe recess of the TJoiversalist Convention this mor ning, it was snnoutieed that Mr. Phineas Taylor Barnum was going to be united in the bonds of matrimony with Miss Nanny Fish, of Southport, Lancashire England. In a few minutes the couple made their appearance and walked up the ail bp to tne communion table, the organ in the meantime playing the "Wedding March." The bride was dressed in a slate colored dress; and wore a black velvet hat with blue feather. From her ears depended diamond earrings. The bridegroom was mm m dressed in a black dress suit. The twain were made one by the Rev. Dr. E. II Cbapin, and ht the conclusion of the ser vices left the church in a carriage. The brideis twenty-six years of age, and is Mr. Barnum's second wife, his first having been buried about a year ago, the bride groom being about si x t vseven years of age.
