ISflfl Ts CISSORS. —The New York Daily Nett (4 makes public a story of deception and crime seldom met with. It nppears that when Mrs. Gen. Eaton, so famous as the leader of social and fashionable life in Wash ington during the administration of President Jackson, became a widow in a foreign land, she returned to this country, taking up her residence. She adopted two of her grand-children, a boy and girl, and with a competence amount ing to at least one hundred thousand dollars, was living very happily. At length an Italian adventurer named Bourgonair was employed as dancing master for the children, and they took such a liking to him that they prevailed upon their grandmother to allow him to be introduced to their home. The re sult was that he married Mrs. Eaton, and succeeded eventually in getting possession of all her property. Nor did he stop here, but prevailed upon her to place in his charge the property she had set apart for her grand children, all of which he had the full use and benefit of. Ho then set to work to corrupt the girl, and finally sailed for Europe last Wednesday, taking her with him as his wife. lie left a note for Mrs. Eaton, in which he told her he had converted her property into cash, and would allow her S2O per week if she would keep the matter quiet. —We are informed of a conversation, says the Mobile Tribune, which occurred between two Mobilians just before the Confederacy “went up” that we think too good to be lost. Col. 11., who has proven his gallantry npon many a hard fought field, was home on “leave of ab sence," and having just left a convivial party was in that condition in which men say in jest many sharp things, and don’t care for consequences. Passing down Royal street he met Mr. 8., one of our oldest and staunchest citizens, who extended him a hearty welcome, etc., all of which was received as such things usually are. Says Col. H., “don’t you know, Mr. 8., I count you the smart est man in the whole State of Alabama?” “I’m much obliged to you Colonel,” said Mr. 8., his face wreathed into smiles, “I did not; but how do you mean ?” “Why, Mr. 8., you have five full grown, able bodied sons, and you’vif managed to keep every d—d one out of the army. Nothing but a smart man could do that.” Mr. B. left the Colonel in a hurry and has had no more welcomes for him since. —The Amador (Cal.) Ledger tells the subjoined : “A short time ago a widow lady, residing in a village not a thou sand miles from here, put her house up a raffle, and very soon disposed of the tickets to all feeling disposed to aid her. The evening arrived for the raffle to come ofr, and the house was won by a gentleman who thought himself fortu nate in obtaining a homestead so cheap. The next day he applied for possession and a title to the property. What was his surprise when he was coolly informed that it was unnecessary to give any written title to the house—that there it was, and to take it; and the sooner the better, as she was anxious to build one on the spot where it stood. The winner discovered that he had drawn an ele phant —he had a house, but no lot.” —Uncle Sam had a neighbor who was in the habit of working on Sunday, but after a while he joined the church. One day he met a minister to whose church he belonged. “ Well, Uncle Sam,” said he, “do you see any differ, cnce in Mr. P. since he joined the church?” “Oh, yes,” said Uncle Sam ( “a great difference. Before, when he went out to mend his fence on Sunday, he carried his axe on his shoulder, but now he carries it under his overcoat.” —London papers notice an artificial arm of novel construction. It is hollow and light, yet very strong. The elbow and wrist movements are simply effected by cords working entirely from the shoulder-joint of the lost arm or forearm. The artificial arm is attached only by a cross-strap passing behind the back to the opposite shoulder, and not crossing the chest. It enables the wear er to feed himself, to doff his hat, to drive aud to carry weights. —One of the editors of a New Orleans paper, soon after beginning to learn the printing business, went to court a preacher’s daughter. The next time he attended the meeting, ho was taken down at hearing the minister announce as his text, “My daughter is grievously tormented with a devil.” —They have a cheerful practice on the Rail Road to New York. As soon as the train starts, a boy comes through the cars and asks you if you want your life insured. Special Notices. DU. J. 1\ 11.
