A Briile in Hie Wrong Bed
IVe have the Cine nnati Enquirer as
voucher for the following ;
A newly man ied pair put up at the
Spencer House—they went out shopping
—returned—bride had left some things
—she slipped out —found her lost articles
—returned—mistook Main street for
Rroudway—got into the Madison for the
Spencer ->t looked a litt e strange ; ask
ed boy if she was in the Spencer ; boy
said yes not fully understanding her ;
she told him to lead her to 48; she partly
disrobed and got into bed; expected has
build momentarily ; fell sleep ; the oc
eupant of 48 Madison ; an ludianna
merchant returned from tin the itre ; a
little light ; quietly went to the room ;
to bed ; to sleep. The account pro
ceeds.
How long the two reposed there side
hy side with only a foot space I el ween
them unconscious of each other’s pres
ence, is not exactly known, but probably
about dti hour wlieit a tremendous noise
was heard in the apartment from which
female screams Issued wildly piercingly
and ceaselessly.
The hotel was in an uproar proprietors
clerks, waters, porters and guests, dres
cd, were at the door of 44 in a few min
utes blocking up tbe entrance and ask
ing each other eagerly : “What is the
matter ? for God’s sake tell us what is
the trouble !’’
The cause of this outcry may ho imag
ined. The bride had awakened about
midnight, and putting her arm over her
husband it tell upon the ludiauiuii’s face,
and the soft M alm touch aroilsed him at
once. Ho did not dislike it and in a mo
ment Mrs. R. said : 'My dearest Ims
hand, where have you been all this while?
“Husband !'’ echoed the merchant, be
ginning to see like Lord Tinsel, that he
had made a small mistake here ; “I’m
nobody's husband ; I reckon my.dear
manual, you are in the wrong bed.”
In Ihe bed. linn-ore. -d horrors
thou ;ht the young bride. What woa'd
her lord ; what would the curious world
say ? And Mrs it. screamed terribly and
sprang from the couch just as her com
panion done the same. Ho was fully as
much alarmed as she, and ontreuted hel
lo give him time and he would leave the
apartment, although it was the one ho
had engaged; he’d make oath to that.
Scream, scream, scream, was her only
rep'y t his kindly proposition.
“My God, madam, don’t yell so! A’nu
wi I wake the house Be reasonable ; 1
swear ids only a mistake. Have some
thought of the consequence. 1 and n’t
wan’t to hurt you, I swear I don’t. You
will get mo shot and yourself—”
Just at this juncture, the crowd out
side presented itself at the door and be
held Mrs R., cowering in one corner ex
ercising her lungs magnificently with a
sheet wrapt over her form and head and
the Indianian in the middle of the room
enveloped in a coverlet, and ejaculating
* My God, Madam don’t !”
The Jnnioi proprietor, Dr. Cabbill saw
there must he some mistake, and. reques
ting the others to retire called tile mcr
chant, w nt out into another room and
there learned the whole story. The Doc
tor then sent one of the ladies to Mrs.
R. and the entire affair was explained
greatly to her relief, though she was
overwhel tied with confusion at a cireum
stance that migfrfjhavc ruined her repu
tation forever
Under the escort of the doctor, she was
conveyed to tho “Spencer,” where the
fiuiband was found pacing the corridors
with frantic mein and half crazed with
grief, at the. mysterious disappearance o
his wife, whom he believed had been
spirited away hy a villian, or murdered
lor her jewels in this “infernal city,”
w ere as he expressed himself they
would kill a man for a dollar.
As soon as he beheld his spouse ho
oanirlit her to his bosom and wept like a
child. He was melted with happiness at,
her discovery and told her ttnft tUs h»5
searched the city for intelligence of her
whereabouts.
A RkGarkabi.?, PtfF.xoMEXdX. —Under
tlic title of-" The Ka it Ii Burning,” the
Coriiitli News relates the following:
Several persons were in Gorintli last
j Saturday, who g-ivi some startling ac
counts of tiie earth’s being on fire about;
four miles west ol Hamburg, Tenn. Mr. |
Brooks, who lives fourteen mi es north
west of Corinth, had a pasture in which !
was a pond (J wat,<T alaiut twenty-five,
liy seventy five deep, and I lie water du
ring tiie summer having disappeared,
he cleared off tiie ground to sow it in I
turnips. While burning the trash from
this piece of ground, tiie locality that
had been covered with tiie water, ignited
from tlic burning trash and the entire
space where tiie pond had formerly stood
has continued to blaze brilliantly for the
past ten days. He becoming alarmed
and fearing that iris entire farm would
be consumed and turned into an embank
merit of ashes dug ditches around the
space and filled them with water. He
lias poured large quantities of water on
1 the burning earth, but it did not extin
i guisii tlic flames. Tbe smell from the
| burning earth is represented as being
\ peculiar and mark'd.

Abraham Li.vcoj.nqp Nkgro Suffrage.—
In a speech delivered,Charleston, 111.
on the 18jtb of September, 1858, Abiu
liani Lincc'n said :
“1 trill soy that lam not, nor over hare
been in fame of making rulers or jurors
of negroes, nor qualifying them to hold
office, nor to iim-rmarry with white pec
pie; and 1 will say in addition to this,
hat there is a physical difTert nee be
t w ion the white and black races, which 1
believe will f. ibid the two rayi'ij living
together on terms of social and political
equality. * * 1, as much as any oth
cr man am in favor of having the supe
rior position assigned to the white race.’
The Phodabii.itv of Mu. Davis’ Thial—
Tho New York Ilerahl has a special dis
patch from its Richmond corespondent,
which states that it lias liocome definite
ly settled that Mr. Davis will he tried at
the November term of the Circuit Court
in that city-, and that Chief Justice Chase
has expressed his intention to preside.
The dispatch adds:
‘ The opinion is expressed that, allow
ing Davis will appear, the trial will be
shirked by the Government, and the
prisoner will again he set at liberty on
bail. There is reason, however, to con
tradict such an erroneous impr ssioii
Indications lead to tho belief that the
trial will be preceded with, aud a mass
of the most important events connected
with the history of the rebellion disclos
ed. The counsel for defence will demand
a trial, and il the Government urges as
an excuse not ready, the Court will ex
press its determination to remain in ses
sion a sufficient time to prepare; failing
in this, a nolle prosequi will then I e en
tered, by which tbe discharge of the pris
oner may bo effected. The latter is not
likely, and the trial, which the nation at
largo demands, will he preceded with

Advantages of Advertising. —Tho ad
vantages of advertising have just to
ccived a curious and amusing illustra
tion in Boston. A wealthy gentleman of
that city, who owns a country residence
in the suburbs, becoming dissatisfied
with it, defermiifbd to have another, and
instructed aii auctioneer famous for his
descriptive powers, to advertise in the
papers at private sale, but to conceal
the location, telling purchasers to apply
at his office. In a few days the gentle
man happened tinon the advertisement, j
was pleased with the account, of the
place, showed it to his wife, and the two ■
concluded that it was just what they
wanted and tb-.vi. ihey would secure il at
onoo. So fie went to the office of the
auctioneer aud told him that the place
lie advertised was such a place us he de
sired, and he would purchase it. The j
auctioneer hurst into a laugh, and told
him that was the description of his own
house where lie was then living. He
read over tho advertisement, pondered
over “the grassy slopes,” “heaulilul
vistas,” “smooth lawns,” etc, and broke
out—“is it possible! Well, auctioneer, |
make out my bill for advertising and ex
penses, by George! i wouldn’t sell my
place now for three times what it cost
me!”
Gen. Breckinridge's Last OtnciA'xoy 't
Major T. U. Ochiltree, of tho Houston
Telegraph tells the following in a late
letter from Paris:
John 0. Breckinridge at a dejeuner,
yesterday, told of Ids last act of authori
ty as Secretary of war Il was on the
coast of Floridtt«-tho General was pur
sued by the Federal cavalry; they were
beating the country in every direction; a !
“friend in need” came to his rescue—tie 1
was one of Brevard’s gallant o|d regi
ment of the Army of Virginia. He said,'
“General, I have an old boat here that
tnout carry us to Kurby; anyhow we’ll
try it on.” So ho worked away ail that
night raising the boat from where lie had !
sunk it to cotipgal ft from prowling Yah- I
keen; lie woijsed faithfully at/d* energeti
cally in psttchif'jjjft null bailing it,
artificially jittinhuig it up'and putting in
a lew provisions'. General B. grasped
the noble fellow by the hand and said to
him: "I will have but few more hours o 1
aulhoiity, but such services as you have
rendered your country deserve reward.
Yon shall be a Major. I will make out
your commission now.” He was exceed
ingly thankful, but remained scratching
his head iua thoughtful at Rude. “Well
Gen , there’s a feller in nr regiment what
ain’t done nothing, and lie is a Major
and a Quartermaster, and if it’s all the
same to you, I would like to rank him Ibr
oust.” It is needless to say that i'll
“going out” Secretary qf Wnf jnstai tl,
wrote the battle-scarred lift|j|lile hero a
commission as a Lieutenant (loloncl. A
j fact.
Brd Bi os, according to a lady Cones
j pomleiit; Iqive a great aversion to salt,
i She states that if the articles and places
infested With bed bugs are washed with
j salt water, and tiie crevices in which
the vermin bide are filled with it, they
ivdl give no more trnpolc.
1 A Misi ruii.k l’icTt RE. — A miserable j
picture, evi n in tlic old times of slavery, j
was a white man who had to work him
seif, but was asi mined of it.—To see a
fellow now, cleaning his boots, and if lie
hoars any one coining, hiding the brush,
or to see a farmer working in tiie field,
but laying down his hoe at tlic approach
of his neighbor, is bad enough; but not
I so ii peless as one who prefers to suffer
! rather than work even in secret. The
I men who are not ashamed to say, “we
! arc poor aud have to work with imr own
hands,” are the people who are to revive
our broken fortunes and repair (lie rava
ges of war.— Tal. Sent.
