THE WIFE.
On eaiih to man there is but me.
His heart eau love, his soul can own;
Though myriads flit before h s view.
There is but one to whom he’s true—
That one can sway him too and fro;
Can make him drain the cup of woe;
Can give him joy or blast his life;
And that one’s name is simple wife.
But in that name a worid is sphered,
A world by all beloved, revered,
Who have the sense to know its worth.
And spurn thegaudy joys ot earth:
For that lull heart in her dear breast—
If rightly prized—eternal lest
Is not with blissful sweets more rife,
Than that puie heart—a lovitig wife.
From the Mobile Register-
Madame LeVert’s New Book.
“Souvenirs of Travelby Madame LeVert. —
Published by S. }L Ouetzel cj- Cos., New York
and Mobile.
It has been said that the “very word genius
comprehends all the loveliness of woman. It signi
fies but the power to fee I deeply, combined with an
intellect capable of embodying those feelings into
language, and of conveying its images of truth and
beauty, from the heart of the writer to the heart
.otihe readtr.” If this be so, then is Madame Le
Vert eminently a woman ot genius; audio be con
vinced of this fact, one has only lo read her “Sou
venirs.” Her book is like herself, and she is a
“pens v idi, vici woman. She disarms ail criti
cism, and to know her is to love her. Her fair,
open brow, like her warm heart is the abode of
sunshine, and the glance of her eye is calm, and
kindly, and pure, as that of the freshly gathered
violets that oft times sleep upon her bosom. Her
voice comes welling up in a rich “clouded contral
to,” —tones that are the very music ofthe heart.
Soft as the dreamy lull of chiming waters—low
like the singing of the Summer winds, steals upon
our spirits the sweet music ol her words. In her
manner, cordial, simple,natural, and self possessed,
she is equally above the parvenu’s pretensions,
and beyond the necessity of art. She possesses,
too. in an eminent degree, that “philosopher’s
stone,” ot pleasing— variety. And, indeed, so deep,
so full of mystical witchery is that “infinite variety,”
that in any degree to illustrate it we must borrow
the language of a modern writer, who, when he
would describe a sentiment, which he felt to be in
describable, said : It is like the eye oi the woman
first loved to the soul of the poet!” The world
has, tor the most part, been bright to her, and for
this her soul bows in childlike reverence, and pours
fourth its rapturous gratitude to Him who has cast
her “lines in pleasant places,” and given to her the
“goodly heritage” of happiness. Beauty always
wins its way; it needs neither introduction nor
apology, and so everywhere admirers have gather
ed around her “thick as leaves in Vailambrosa,”
till her warm, impulsive spirit feHjpir ihe blessed
ness ofbeing loved,carols forth use a birdamid the
dawning, its iove, its ecstacy, and its gratitude.
As is the woman, so is the volume before us.—
It is a work that proves how the highest cultivation
of the intellect may be ennobled by the warm sym
pathies and tender affections of our nature. She
writes like the bird sings, because its heart is gush
ing over with melody ; she writes as the Rower
blooms, because it is bathed in dew, fanned by the
breeze, and kindled up by the sunshine, till it bursts
its enclosing petals, and lavishes its fragrance and
sweet life upon the air. She receives, as it were
by intution, the idea of the ancient Greeks, that the
whole universe is a “Kosmos” of beauty and order,
and this she presents to the reader not as pleasant
theory—but a sublime truth. Aud yet at times,
as if to prove how truly she is woman, a faint shad
ow lies upon her heart, and is reflected upon the
page—feeling that she has entered the temple of
memory, and passing by little graves at the lliresh
hold, still guarded by love and sorrow, her spirit
treads silently the hallowed chamber of tears.
Prejudiced by no sectarian dogma, influenced by
no sectional jealously, she opens wide the portals
ot her heart, and folds the whole world of human,
ity in her loving and kindly embrace. With her a
humane eclecticism has taken the place of a par
tial creed, — she looks upou all her race with an
“infidite pity and infinite love,” and therefore the
arts, literature, society and system of all countries
through which she has journeyed are kindly view
ed and literally interpreted. Beneath her mental
wealth the affections exist in proportionate strength,
and they come gushing up at every call of sym
pathy, and tinge all her creations with hues of
beauty, as the sun flushes the rainbow into life,
by waving his light through the soft-dropping
shower. That reverence and devotion to her
mother, which shines so beautifully through her
daily life, is here as tenderly portrayed, and forms
au illusirious example to ihe young of our land, for
in general they are too prone to neglect to pay
that homage and duty to the aged which is only
their just and rightful due.
The woman who has given to America such a
daughter as Madame LeVert, should never be for
gotten.
As to the literary claims of the work before us,
it is just what it purports to be. While it exhibits I
the strength of the author’s mind, tbe wonderfully
retentive power of her memory, and the extent of
her acquirements, it is not overcrowded with the
embellishment of standard pens, and has nothing
of the tipsel of the pedant, or the trickery of the
rhetorician The style is easy, unostentatious and
natural. It is rich in incident, the descriptions are
vivid, and tiie anecdotes charmingly told, and yet
there, is no laboring for effect, and a delightful air j
of sincerity pervades the whole, tinged with the !
coleur de rose ot enthusiasm. She speaks from a
full heart of the beautiful in nature and art, of old
and stirring associations, of social traits, and of
tbe welcome of friends ; and in all kindness and
honesty endeavor to share with others the delight
ful impressions which she has enjoyed. All that
history has chronicled and poetry consecrated come
from her pen flushed with the rose-glow of her en
thusiastic nature.
Someone has said that “to be a good traveler,
argues one no ordinary philospher. ’ Then is Mad
ame LeVert a philosopher indeed—the “worid en
circling” Pfeiffer is not a greater. A south wind
seems to be always passing over her spirit. Her
cerenity seems proof against ail petty vexations, she
smiles at occasional imposition, and good-naturedly
abides by all the ‘ ills” that voyages “are heir to.”
Ever ready, in her urbanity of 60ul, to reccognize
the “good in everything,” she passes over the ills,
dwells upon the agreeable, and unfolds for us the
“silver lining” of every cloud that floats athwart
her sky. She is the true traveller, one who has
learned to reverence Nature, to appreciate genius,
and to love humanity. And more—she has noth
ing of the self sufficiency and prejudice which dis
tinguish too many of our modern voyaguers ; such
as °are so finely satirized in “As you like it.” Bays
Rosalind, “Farewell, monsieur traveler—look you
lisp, and wear strange suits, disable al! the benefits
of your own country, be out of love with your na
tivity ; or I wdl scarce think you have swam in a
gondola.” On the contrary travel has only made
Madaine LeVert more in love with her “nativity,”
it has but deepened her senese and pride of na
tioualy. She has found the name of and American
evrey where an honorably passsport. It is a fresh
and hopeful name, its associations are ot freedom
aud progression. And so, surrounded by the bold
magnificence of Alpine heights, amid the solemn
ruins of old imperie! Rome, mingling in the royal
pageantries of England, and of France, she looks
back upon her native land, consecrated to Liberty
by the genius of Washington, and exclaims with an
exultant joy “I too, am an American !”
And it was this deep sense of nationality, as
well as the generosity of her nature which prompt
ed her to bestow so liberally from the sales of her
work, to the noble purposes of the Mt. Vernon As
sociation. Like the tolling bell of every vessel
that passes by Mt. Vernon, her heart throbs give
out a mourful music to the memory of him who
slumbers there. And thus it will always be with
her. She will ever be giving utterance by word or
action to the beautiful and generous impulsesof her
nature. The clay of which we are made will never
be able to check the sweet, gushing fountains ot
her soul. She gathers around her here all that the
he world can give of purity and brightness, and
we know that when she passes through the portals
ol the h.r away spirit land, she will hear with her
no remembrances of earth save those of its beauty
aud its bloom.
In closing tbe last volume of the “Souvenirs”
we feel but one regret. We would willingly lift the
veil, and behold how her native city welcomed with
open arms the beloved wanderer, on her return
We have seen how she was received by the poten
tates ot the Old World, and we would that they
could know how we can welcome home a queen ol
the New-. And yet perhaps ’iis best as it is, the
world hever know how many hearts, like one warm
and true, yet beating far away, thus sang to greei
her returning footsteps:
Would I could see again thy soft brown tresees
By southern breezes blown ;
And answer to rhy gentle arms caresses,
Mv hand wirhtn thiue own !
Would I could list the music, rippling over
From that sweet lip of thine ;
It is a rosy chsirce brimmins over,
And kindness is its wine!
How shall I tell thee how our hearte have missed thee
Dear wanderer o’er the sea ?
Or murmur ofthe many prayers that bleetthee
Fondly and fervently ?
Dids’t thou not feel them asahe west wind kissed thee
Far o’er the ocean’s foam ?
Dids’t thou not know when it’s light wing caressed thee,
’Tw as from the loved, u< home ?
Thou wast afar, where legend haunted castleo
O'erhang the“bounding Rhine;”
And close the peasant's lowly cottage nestles,
B> ueath the laughing vine.
Fair V i-oice shone above thy swift gondola
That ski nmed the bright lagoon,
As -hro’ an amber tinted aureola
Shines out the summer moon.
The misty Jura, and the Alpine ranges,
With rich, melodious sw, 11,
Have sung lo thee ot all the mighty changes
That swept the land of Tell
And thou hast gazed upon those ruins solemn ;
The palace-arch, and dome.
With fallen architrave, and prostate column,
Ol old Imperial Rome.
Thou’st gazed on Fontainbleau—the ancient Louvre—
And where, on every breeze,
The gay tri color floats in beauty over
The stately Tuilleries.
And thou hast past the haughty, frowning portals
Os many a gallery,
Where stalked, in daya gone by, that dread cf mortal*
The “Man of Destiny.”
Then “Caledonia wild” spread out before thee
The treasures of her urn ;
Sweet Abbotsford and Ayr, with Stirling hoary,
Aad glorious Banaock Kburn,
And “merrie England” led thee from the splendors,
Os castellated domes.
O’orteeming with ten thousand storied wonders ;
Unto her “hearts and homes.”
Still, as the changing panorama shifted ;
Thy place was ever shown
Within the circle of the great and gified ;
A station all thine own.
For there thou standest always; all serenely
In loveliness enshrined,
As if to show how great is she, and queenly,
Wtiose monarchy is Mind !

Special Dispatch to “the States.”
Gen. C. F Henningsen to Gen. Cass—Violation cf the
Convention of Bivas.
New York, Nov. 14.—Gen. C. F. Henningson
is out this morning with a letter addressed to Gen.
Cass, in relation to the gross violation, by the pres
ent usurped Government of Nicaragua, ofthe con
vention of Rivas. In that convention, Capt. Davis,
of the St. Mary’s, acting for and on behalf of the
enemies of Gen. Walker, stipulated that the Nicar
aguans who had sympathized and co operated in
the effort for the liberation of their country should
reside unmolested wherever they pleased within
the Stule.
Evidences are now abundant, Gen: H. states that
these men have been forced to carry arms, coerced
to labor, and persecuted in various ways; while
Gen. Pineda—brother of a former president—is
now working in chains on the Segovia road. After
referring in terms of high commendation to the
character and standing of Pineda, Gen. H. declares
that Capt. Davis especially undertook to provide for j
his safety, and that he should pass lo his home |
without molestation; and this guatanty determined j
Gen. Pineda to remain in Nicaragua, assured that I
tire American flag would protect him there, under |
these terms of capitulation, as effectually as if. he j
should accept the urgent invitation of Gen. Wal- j
ker to accompany him to the United States.
Except ior these solemn guaranties, and the re- j
fiance placed upon the honor and good faith of the j
United States, represented by Capt. Davis, Ger. H. j
declares that he and his co operators would have j
preferred to die sword in hand, rather than have j
abandoned these good and true men in Central j
America. His duty towards the sufferers, and hon- j
or as a soldier, therefore, compel him to appeal lor |
redress of the wrong they have suffered, to the Chief
Magistrate of this republic, who is therefore ad
dressed through tbe Secretary of State.
Gen. H proceeds to show that the Nicaraguan
army was not in an utterly desperate position at the
time of tlie interposition of Capt. Davis ; that in so
far as it was desperate, it was made so by Captain
Davis’s unauthorized act; and that, in treating with
him, they considered that they treated with tlie
United States. He also recounts a variety of his
torical incidents, exhibiting the faithlessness of the
apponents of Walker, in order to show that the na
tive companions of the latter would never have
been trusted to their mercy without a better guar
anty than the word they had so often violated.
Tiie General’s rapid synopsis of the operations ‘
of Walker’s force down to the capitulation, is ex- j
ceedirigly graphic, pointed, and interesting. He |
concludes thus:
‘•Since, therefore, General, the fact and manner i
ofthe interference of a United States officer proba- j
bly alone prevented the raising of the siege of Rivas
and reversed the issue of that campaign; since his
undoubted act at a critical moment, theembargoing
of the schooner Granada decisively altered our
position ; and since it was to the guaranty of a
United States officer in command of a United States
force that we intrust* and the fate of our native-born
fellow soldiers, I am sure that you will not fail to !
perceive how directly responsibility attaches in this j
matter to the Government of the United States ; |
and I venture to indulge the confident hope that
I am making now an effectual appeal for redress,
through such means as the wisdom ofthe Presi
dent and his cabinet will suggest, and not merely
placing upon record a solemn protest.”
The Jennens Property. —The right heir to the
enormous wealth of tlie Jennens family has at last
been found in the person of Mr. Joseph Martin ;
and an eminent law firm of Liverpool have recent
ly obtained administration for the heir at law, from
Electors’ Commons, and Elizabeth Bunch, other
wise Jennens, the daughter and heiress of John
Jennens, of Colchester, who was the last male, heir
entai! and heir genera! of the Jennens. The per
ssnal property to which this administration will ex
tend is supposed to amount to over £16,000,000.
The real estates are equally large, the rental being
estimated at £150,000 per annum. The principal
landed properties are situated in Birmingham, Edg
buston, and in the counties of Warwick, Stafford,
Worcester, Gloucester, Salop, Derby, Nottingham,
Leicester, Flint, Ciiester, Suffolk and Essex. The
appearance of a direct personal representative to
the Jennens, will, it is thought, create considerable
uneasiness in a large circle of high and influential
persons, and may, in al! probabilrty, end in tlie dis
comfiture of a host of active claimants and anx
ious expectants who have been for years seeking to
obtain a sitare of this almost fabulous accumula
tion of wealth.
Methodist Church and Slavery —The Holston
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South] at its racent conference in Marion, Va., re
scinded that clause in the discipline, which pro
hibils the “buying and selling of men, women and
children, for the purpose of enslaving them.” The
Knoxville Whig says that there were over'loo trav
eling preachers in the conference, and only four vo
ted against it. The proposition is to be submitted
to the 23 annual conferences, South, between this
and the meeting of the General Conference in May
next, which convenes in Nashville.
Kanas.
The Kansas Convention for tiie formation of a
Constitution re assembled at Lecompton, on the
26th October. On the 29th the slavery question
was deb iled, and terminated in the adoption, al
most unanimously, of the following preamble and
sections :
Preamble. —The right of property is before and
•higher than any constitutional sanction, and the
right of the owner of a slave to such slave and its
increase is the same and as inviolable as the right
to any property whatever.
Section I.—The Legislature shall have no pow
er to pass laws forthe emancipation of slaves with
out the consent of their owners, or without paying
their owners, previous to their emancipation, a full
equivalent in money forthe slaves so emancipated.
They shall have no power to prevent emigrants to
this St.ate from bringing with them such persons as
are deemed slaves bv the laws of any one of the
United States or Territories, so long as any person
ot the same age or description shall be continued
in slavery by the laws of this State ; provided that
such person or slave be the bona fide property of
such emigrant; and provided also“that laws may
be passed to prohibit the introduction into this State
of slaves who have Committed high crimes in oth
er States or Territories. They shall have power
to pass laws to permit the owners of slaves to
emancipate them, saving tire rights of creditors, and
preventing them from becoming a public charge.—
They shall have power to oblige tire owners of
slaves to treat them with humanity, to provide lor
them necessary food and clothing, to abstain from
all injuries lo them extending to life <r limb; and
in case of their neglect or refusal to comply with
the direction of such laws, to have their slave or
slaves soid for tire benfit of the owners.
Sec. 2. In the prosecution of slaves for crimes
ot higher offence than petit larceny, the Legislature
shall have no power to deprive them of an impar
tial trial by petit jury.
Sec. 3. Any person who shall maliciously dis
member or deprive a slave of life shal 1 suffer such
punishment as would be inflicted in case the like
offence had been committed on a free white person,
and on like proof] except in case of insurrection of
such slave.
An Excellent Arrangement.
The Superintendent of the Central Railroad, de
sirous of avoiding Hie long and tiresome delay
which all passengers from Milledgevilie to Macon,
(and vice versa) have hitherto been compelled to
undergo, has instituted an arrangement by which
the train that leaves Milledgevilie at half-past six
in the evening, goes through to Macon, arriving
there at nine o’clock, and returning, (leaving Ma
con at ten o’clock) in time to meet the Savannah
train at Gordon. Heretofore passengers over this
route have been compelled to leave Macon at 7
and Milledgevilie at half past 6 o’clock, and re
main at Gordon until nearly midnight. This, as
Gordon is rattier a hard place, was not at all desi
rable. Passengers to and from Savannah have
not been subjected to this inconvenience.
In this connection, we must express our unqual
ified admiration of the manner in which things are
managed on the Central Road and its Branches.—
It is one ofthe best Roads in the South, and is the
best paying road in the Union.— Augusta Dis

Magnificent Hunting Excursion.
Jules Gerard, the celebrated Lion hunter, pro
poses a grand expedition against the wild beasts of
Algeria, to be composed of hunters from all parts
of the world who may wish to take part in the ex
citing sport.
In a circular he says “the abundance of all de
scriptions of game in the still virgin districts of Al
geria, lias often caused me to regret being alone in
the midst of so many riches unknown to the inhab
itants of cities.
Pre-occupied by the search after the lion, I have
allowed to pass before rne troops of boars, herds of
deer and gazelles, hyenas returning front the plains
with jackals and fox--s.
All these passed within range of my gun, with
out being disturbed by the presence ofthe hunter.
At night, passing by a lake, my ears have been
deafened by tiie discordant cries of ducks, geese,
swans, and all the feathered tribes which inhabit
tlie waters. Finally, when, at the break, of day, 1
re entered my tent, the hares and red partridges
rose every instant from beneath my feet; tiiere was
enough to load a wagon with game of every kind ;
enough tosa:isfy the most impassioned hunter, and
tiie most insatiable marksman.
Os en, as I have said, at the sight of so much
wealth, I have wished for the presence of compan
ions, to gather in those harvests, which have been,
as it were, lost. I have thought of assembling in
some convenient part of Atgeria the pick of ah the
hunters in the world, without distinction of tongue
or race.”
All the arrangements are to be made by tlie offi
cers of the chib.
Subsbriptioiis are received henceforward, by the
secretaries of the club : M. Emile J. R. Hinshel
wood, 320 Rue St. Hooore, Paris; M. Martin B.
Mangles, 22d Surrey street, Strand London. The
committee will meet once a week to consider tiie
communications addressed to secretaries; and the
result of the scrutinies will be communicated by
letter, to the parties interested.
How Mr- Bu.hanan Receives the Ladies.—A cor
respondent rrom Washington to pho Richmond South
sayeth as follows:
“Mr. Buchanan •tiil continues to havo hosts of lady vis
itors, and scarcely a pretty woman comes to Washington
but she must seethe bachelor President, His manners to
wards his f.ir visitors, shows that he is no ‘lady’s man;’
his graceful commonplace seems to fail him with them;
and I have seen him evidently sorely taxed to find a few
words to say to tlie fair dames who wiil find their way to
his reception room. He is said to have been compelled to
have recourse to stereotyped phrases which he invariably
addresses by turn to ihe ladies,as he runs the gauntlet of
them at reception hours. They are these ‘Madam, is
this your first visit to Washington?’ Answer. A pause—
Ihen,‘Madam, I would advise you to visit the Smithsonian
Institute-’ After which the lady rs expected to vamose.”
An Extraordinary Came of Chess. —A very
extraordinary ieat was performed recently, in
Twelfth St., New York, by a German, last front
lowa. He has come to contest the highest prize in
the Grand Tournament. He played three games
with three opponents, at the same time. One of
these opponents was a first class player, another
was nearly so; the third was a good player, but
not considered of the first class. In two hours and
a half he had beaten the best and poorest players,
and in another hour, it getting late, he gave up
the game without bringing it to a close. All this is
not astonishing. The wonder consists in his doing
this without seeing either of tiie boards of his an
tagonists or having any < f his own. He was all
tlie while in another room, lying or sitting on a safo,
and between him and his adversaries there was no
communication except ihrough a gentleman who
announced the moves of both parties in a loud
voice. The German, Mr.Louis Paulsen, of Dubu
que, lowa, saw all the three games played simulta
neously on tire tablet of his brain aione, beating
some of our best players. He says he can play four
games in the same way. This is a preternatural
performance, which we should have hardly believ
ed possible without some trick, had we not person
ally been a witness. — Newark Advertiser,

The Oregon Convention.
On J hursday, the 24ib inst., Messrs. Prim and
Duncan, two of our Delegates in the late Conven
lion to I‘orni a State Constitution, arrived in town,
both in good health and spirits. We would judge
Irom their appearance that tlie climate of Salem
agrees with their constitutions and the luxuries of
tlie north with their appetites. Througfi the po
liteness of Mr. Prim we have received several re
ports of the Committees which have become a part
ofthe Constitution, irom which we glean, that ihe
Constitution is to be submitted to a vote of the
people on the second Monday in November next.
Only three issues to be voted upon,—Constitution,
Yes, or No; Slavery—Yes, or No; Free Negroes
Yes, or No. The abstract of tlie vote to be
transmitted to the Secretary and canvassed by the
Gov. ana Secretary, and the Governor shall issue
his proclamation declaring the result of the elec
tron upon each of tlie questions. Sections 4, 5,6,
and 7 ot tbe Schedule provides :
Sec, 4. it this constitution shall be accepted by
the electors, and tiie majority cfali the votes given
for and against slavery shall be given for slavery,
then the following section shall be added to the
Bhl oi Rights, and shail be part of ibis constitution:
“Section, —. Persons lawfully held as slaves in

der the laws thereof, may he brought into this
State ; aud such slaves, and their descendants, may
be heid as slaves within this State, and shail not
ire emancipated w ithout the consent of their own

en against slavery, then ihe foregoing section shall
not, but tiie following section shall be added to the

tion : “Section —. Tiiere shail be neither slavery
nor involuntary servitude in this State, othetwise
than as punishment lor crime, whereof the party

Terrible Affkir at New Orleans.
The New Orleans Bee, of the 29th ult., has the
following account of the bloody deeds perpe.rated
m that city on the 27th ult., already mentioned bv
telegraph: 3
Tne assailants, it appears, were divided into times
seperate squads, one of which took down the cen
tie, and the others along the banquettes on either
side of St. Thomas St—all being masked or black
ened, and armed wnh knives, pistols, slune-sbot
and executing their work ol indiscriminate dcstrur’
tion ol human life wherever they passed, without
uttering a word, save in a low, muttering tone
The first place entered by the murderous parties
was a boarding house kept by Joint Colberts, at tire
corners of I halia and St. Thomas streets where
without a word of warning, they attacked the in’
mates, chiefly Irish draymen, with knives and
slung-shots, m a fearful manner. The inmates be
ing totally unarm and and unsuspecting, the results
ot tlie l a ‘ la( p k were necessarily highly tragical; one
man, John Eagan, being killed, and others badlv
wounded. The latter are Thomas Donahue tab
bed in the left breast with a dirk, and severely beat
en on the head with clubs, though not considered
mortally injured ; John Colbert, skull violent frac
.ured, and probably mortally stabbed in the back ;
iiichard Coleman, a drayman, dangeronrtv cut in
the breast and battered about tire head • J'Branne
gar. knocked down with a rock and’ slabbed in
tbign , James Smith and John Riley severely
wounded with slung-shots and clubs ; James Mur
ray and John Devanhan, shockingly wounded by
the same means ; and Thomas Btggey and Thom
as Divine, slightly wounded.
Henry Grets had a very narrow escape from the
bait oi a pistol which grazed his , -k as he ran
back through the room of Mrs. Peter ‘ihoda, in the
store oi whoso husband the scenes occurred. The
store was adjoining the coffee house, and the bail
winch missed Greis came near hitting the bed on
w inch Mrs. Rhona was lying. The premises about
Lie store and coffee house are stained with blood
wherever the inmates who fled were overtaken.
After tlie assailant thus finished their attack,
they were pursued by Sergeant Dryden, with a
possee ot watchmen, but without effect They
next formed into a body on New Levee, and made
a lew trifling assaults, They also made some de
monstrations in Tchoupitoulas and St. Charles
streets, but no one was injured.
According to the account of Brannegan, who
was taken to the Charity Hospital, there was no
quarrel or provocation which could have led to those
acts ot violence which we have detailed. As the
assailants were all masked, or otherwise disguised,
there is no clue to their identity, and the affair must
consequently for the present, remain a mystery. It
is to be hoped, however, that a coroner’s inquest,
which was begun yesterday, may lead to the detec
tion of the actors of so fearful a tragedy.
A Delicious Temperance Test.
YVho wouldn t live in almost any place where the
young ladies a-e addicted to the delicious custom,
which is set forth by an exchange, as follows :
Quaker young ladies in the Maine Law states it
is said, still continue to kiss the lips of tlie young
lemperance men, to see if they have been tamper”
ing with liquor. Just imagine a beautiful young
girl approaching you, young temperance man, with
ail the dignity of an executive officer, and the in
nocence of a dove, with the charge; Mr. Ike P.,
the iadies believe you are in the habit oftampering
with iiquor, and they have appointed me to ex
amine you accordiog to our established rules—are
you willing? You must acquiesce. She steps
gently up to you, lays her soft white arras around
your neck, dashes back her raven curls, raises her
sylph like form upon her tip-toe, and with her an
gelic features, lii up with a smile as sweet as hea
ven, places her rich, rosy, pouty, sweet, sugar, mo
lasses, strawberry, honeysuckle, sunflower, nectai
rips against yours, and (Oh Jerusalem, hold us)
busses you by crackey. Hurrah for the gals and
the Maine Law, and death to all opposition.
I lie editor of the Cleveland (Tenn.) Ban
has adopted the financial policy oi the times. As
he is not anxious to cause any distress among the
large class who owe him for subscriptions, ailverti
sing and job work, lie has concluded to suspend
the payment of his own debts, and thus relieve
those who are indebted to him. However, he will
promptly and thankfully receive any money that
may be due him, where parties can afford to pay
him without serious detriment to themselves. The
editor says :
“Persons having claims against this office, are
notified that, after mature consideration, and at the
urgent solicitation of many friends, we have finally
concluded to postpone their payment until we get
the money to do it with. In d'oing this, we have
been actuated by the purest motives, that of af
fording our creditors relief. This is the policy
adopted by the banks to relieve tlie people, and if
tlie argument holds good in banking, it should also
bear with equai force upon printing.”
