"As will be seen from reports in other
places, tho delegates of the thirty-three
Statos aro present in good force, and
most of tlio dologations aro full.
Tho few names yet missing will no
doubt lie reported or accounted for this
morning, in addition to tho delegates,
who number roundly about about GOO,
there is not yot the largo influx of visi
tors whioli was anticipated hy some,
and feared or dopreontod hy others.
Tho number of visitors, oxclusivo ol
delegates, who wore reported up to Sun
day morning, clhl not, wo think, exceed
fifteen hundred porsons. Many of
these wore from considerable distances,
and tho list will he lavgoly increased.—
Wo may expect this day houio of our
visiting friends from South Carolina and
from neighboring cities, but it is now
quito evident that tlio precautions taken
hy our leading landlords to prevent a
surfeit of visitors to tho city will be oil*
tiroly successful.
There are ample accommodations for
all and for many more, and if any are
f lacked uncomfortably or unreasonably,
t will not ho from necessity. * * *
It is pleasant at least to state that
however sharp tho political antagonisms
involved in tlio Convention, and how-
,*cr varied in shape and size tho axes
liich many arc waiting eagerly to grind
tho social communications between the
different delegations havo been brisk
and agreeable.
"A delegate” or “delegation” is tuf-
ficient introduction to the public rooms
or quarters of any one of the delega
tions, and the sprig of mint tastefully
arranged in a liquid boquet has been
recognized as an olive branch by the
representatives from Maine and Cali
fornia, and all the States scattered about
between these geographical extremes.—
The South furnishes tlio thirst-provok

of Mexican trains coming in. llo re

Tlio mails are now travelling without an
escort, but it is not considered perfectly

their treachery is so well known that
not much dependence is placed on their
E rofessions of friendship. No rain

Ludicrous Attempt at Suicide.
Among tiie incidents of the strike at
Lynn the Boston Journal mentions tlio
following!
It is seldom that anything amusing
occurs in connection with a suicidal at
tempt, yet u most ludicrous ntlnir of
tliis nature occurred at the City Hall,
on Saturday evening. Win. Williams,
a colored boy, familiarly known as
“Bill.” and a young irishman named
William Jenks, were arrested by officer
Palfrey for being engaged in u street
tight. They were lodged temporarily iu
the auction room of the ollicor, when
Bill, after begging in vain to he lot ott,
griped his throat with Ills lingers and
attempted to choke himself. Ho was
already black in the face when ho was
ordered into a carriage and removed to
tho City Hall. A small bottle of R. G.,
found in his pockot, explained tho cause
of tho mulee.
After being plnced in tlio lock-up.
Bill made a second attempt, not exact
ly to end his wretched existence, but to
persuade tlio officers into tlio belief that
tie was determined to kill himself, and
thus roguin his liberty. The ollicor ap
proached the coll door, when tho follow
ing colloquy occurred;
Bill—Massn Oflleer, take dis scarf, or
I shall hang myself.
Officer (smelling a rnt)—I shall not;
it’s the best thing you can do.

Tho Convention wom opened with an
impressive prayer hy Rov. Dr. Ilonkle,

M. W. Fisher offered a resolution
which led to mi excited uud animated
discussion. Many motions were made,
and amendments ollerod, which appear

confusion ; but owing to the firmness of
tlio President, who is an experienced
parliamentarian, quiot and good order
were preserved.
Messrs. Walker, of Ala., Clarke, of
Missouri; Richardson, of Illinois, and
Cochrane, of New York, participated iu
the debate. Several of tho speakers
became quite animated and very excited
in the course of tho diseusslou.
There was considerable discussion,

been related, in
ry considerably IV
account is a story of
sorrow, and attributes thu “mysterious
music” to an Indian maiden who once
plunged into the sea in grief for tiie
loss of her lover. Another gives an ac
count of a bloody buttle between two
tribes and tlio final extinction of tin-
few survivors by driving them into tho
water—the plaintiff wail of their linger
ing spirits keeping up a perpetual me
morial of the tragical event. Yet an
other version is that given by M. Guy-
in re, an old Christian missionary and
the revenge of the mermaid.
We had ulways supposed that this
phenomenon, whatever its origin might
be, natural, or supernatural, was pecu
liar to oqr own const. It appears, how
ever, from an extract given by some of
the English papers from Sir Emerson
Tennent’s recent work on Ceylon, that
something very like it is known at Bnt-
ticaloa, in that island, and is attributed
to u rather less poetical and mysterious
origin—that is, to a particular species of
shell-fish. They are said to bo heard at
night, and most distinctly when tin
moon is nearest the full, and aro dc
scribed iu terms that correspond ver
closely with the accounts given of tin
Pascagoula music by those who hnV'
heard it. But according to the same
authority, it is not only in Ceylon that
this submarine music is hoard. .Sir Em
erson says:
Sounds somewhat similar are heard
under watorat some places on tho wes
tern coast of India, especially in tho
harbor of Bombay. At Caldera, in Chili
musical cadences are said to issue fr
the sea near the lauding place; they
described as rising and falling fully f<
notes, resembling the tones of harp
strings and mingling like those, at Bat-
licaloa, till they produce a musical dis
cord of great delicacy and sweetness.—

Hostetler lias presented his Celebrated Btom-
ach Bitters, whose curative powers forall di
