house of Mr. S. On niy arrival I found Mr.
Sickles in his bedroom, lying on his face on the
pillow overwhelmed with grief. Some time
clasped before I could obtain from him an ac
count of the cause of bis affliction. He kept
exclaiming, “I am a dishonored and ruined man, j *«*>• Vi
and cannot look you in tho fiicc.’’ Finally he
disclosed to me the following circumstances:—
On Friday. Mr. Sickles received an anonymous
letter, stating that his wife was in thc habit of
meeting Mr. PI Barton Key at a house on Fif
teenth street, in a negro neighborhood. Through
an agent Mr. Sickles had ascertained that Mr.
Key had. rented a house in that neighborhood,
and was in tho habit of meeting a lady there
corresponding in dress and appearance to. the
wife of Mr. Sickles. Being possessed of these
facts, he stated them to bis wife on Saturday
night. She said at once “ that she perceived
she was discovered,” and thereupon made a full
confession of her guilt in writing. By this
confession it appeared that this criminal inter
course had been going on since April, 1868,
sometimes in thc absence of Mrs. S., at the
house of her husband, and that at the commence
ment of the present session of Congress Mr.
Key lind hired an untenonted house on Fifteenth
street, where they were in the habit of meeting

What this fruit can be intended for

this seems to be the' most puckcry and unrelax-

so preventive, and the traveller, for thc next
mile or two after the taste of it, looks very much
as if getting ready for a kiss—a kiss, however,
of till the lips relax, the secret is veiy sure to be
kept! Noiv why would not a persimmon tree,

Anti-Slave Trade meeting.
The citizens of South Carolina—especially
of those Districts bordering ou the Savannah
—have shown an opposition to the attempts to
revive the slave trade. The latest popular
demonstration of the kind that we have seen
reported, is a meeting of the planters and oth
ers of Beach Island and the vicinity, on Wed
nesday, the 9th inst. We give below their
resolutions:
Whereas, much has recently been said in
regard to the importation of Africans into the
country and we believe it to be proper that
an expression of public sentiment should be
made in regard to the matter.
Resolved, 1st, That we look upon the insti
tution of Slavery as it now exist among us,
as benevolent in its tendency and calculated to
develop both races by civilizing and christian
izing the slave and affording an opportunity
for uie cultivation of the higher [lowers of the
master,—thus elevating both in the scale of be-

thoiit the time of his marriage, narrow- 1 mv house—you must die.” I turned immedi-
nd a duel witli Colonel May, who lutd a (?iy an d saw Mr. Key thrust his hand in his
J“.Dr to MLns. Swan. Mr. Key had an | vest or g ;j c coat pocket, take a step in the di-
tedctaanly manner, and was a general j rection of Mr. Sickles, and simultaneously I
a society. He had jast a little of that heard thc dischargp of a pistol. Mr. Key then
liieh is so distinct from the hustling : ra pjj|y advanced on Mr. Sickles, seized him
ind unrest of tho Americtui charac- • w jtj, ) IIS | ( .ft hand by the collar of thc coat, and
va- holed fir some cccntricities of man-: ^0,0,5 to make an cflort to strike with sotne-
& uuily him rather interesting than I thing in his right hand, which 1 then supposed
i* lie had a flair reputation at the liar, j to lie a weapon. Mr. Sickles Kicked into the i
rtlly esteemed among gentlemen I n ,iddlc of the street, when ho succeeded in ex-1
e associated as an upright and ; tricating himself from Sir. Key’s grasp, drew a
j by professional gymnasts. At ten minutes
past seven he stepped into the water, which in
another moment was boiling, surging, and
rushing beneath his feet. The baldest of the
lookers on held his breath in suspense, as the
daring man receded from shore He alone
seemed unmoved, and passed on, slowly and
carefully, avoiding the larger rocks which were
made apparent by the eddying current. His
steps at first were very short and carefully
made, but afterwards became bolder and lon
ger.
The stilts, of course, were so placed that the
current struck only against their sharp edges,
and produced but little effect; but the danger
from thc sunken rocks, and the conviction that
a single false step would send him to death,
produced a feeling that was horribly painful.
Once or twice be seemed to lose his balance,
and a sickening shudder ran through each one
of the beholders. Recovering himself he still
kept on—still receded, till to our straining
eyes he could scarcely be distinguished from
the foaming waters. The middle of the river
was attained at last; hours seemed to have fied.
but it was barely seventeen miuutes since he
left the shore. As he approached the deepest
and most dangerous part of bis route, the sus
pense became more fearfully intense. No word
was spoken, except that one man offered anoth
er five dollars for a moment’s use of his lorg
nette, which offer passed unheeded.
Just ns Morelli reached the swiftest and
dec|>est portion of the current, he seemed to
totter—sink—he threw up bis arms: I closed
my eyes. Opening them a moment after, I
saw that he was stiiTstandiog. A few moments
more nnd he had reached the Canadian bank—
and fell exhausted into the arms of two men
who were waiting for him.
At this hour (3 P. M.) he has nearly recover
ed, and though still in bed, received thc con
gratulations of dozens of visitors who came
pouring in. He left the American shore 9C0
feet above the fall, and came out about 1,000
feet above the Canadian. The money has al
ready been handed over to him, and all will a-
gree that it was fairly won.
Resolved, 2d, While we entertain these
views in regard to the institution, and pledge
our lives to maintain it, believing it to be con
stitutional, of immemorial usage, aud sanc
tioned by Holy Writ itself, wc at the same
time desire to see the supremacy of the laws
upheld, and deprecate their violation from
whatever source the infraction comes.
Resolved, 3d, That we of thc South, having
denounced thc violation of the law in other
sections, do not desire to stultify ourselves
by committing the same offence, but prefer
that “higher law” doctrine (if acted out any
way) should prevail in a more congenial lati
tude than our own.
Resolved, -lth, That we look upon the impor
tation of'Africans, under existing circumstan
ces, as having a mischievous tendency, calcu
lated to produce discord at home and increas
ed opposition abroad—a state of things much
to be regretted, since it is the true policy of
the South to present a united front to the world.
New Atlantic Telegkapu Cable.—Profes
sor Allan, the telegraph engineer, recently
met at the Liverpool Underwriters’ Rooms, a
large number of the principal shipowners, mer
chants, and others interested in this great un
dertaking. Several specimens of his deep sea
rope or conductor,” with which he purposes to
carry out his system of ocean telegraph, were
exhibited. Thc mechanical principle in tlie
construction of these ropes, is the reverse of
those at present used, the peculiarity being
that the whole metalic strength is placed in the
centre of thc insulating medium, forming an
inextensiblc core, and preserving the insulation
from injury by tension. The core or conduct
or is composed of solid cop[icr wire surrounded
-with steel wires, capable of bearing a strain of
15 cwt without stretching. Its weight is 10
cwt to thc mile, and only 2 in sea water. Thc
conducting power is greater, relatively, by 120
per cent than that of thc late Atlantic Cable;
and, from its lightness, upwards of 3,000 miles
can be conveyed in one vessel. Thc remarks
of the Professor seemed to give satisfaction to

Yellow Jessamine.—As this delightful plant
is in full bloom in our gardens and forests, there
is no better lime to caution the public against
its poisonous properties. Both tlie vine and
thc tlower are poisonous when taken into thc
stomach, and numerous instances of serious ill
ness and death, from the want of a knowledge
of this tact, are matters of record! Parents and
nurses cannot be too particular in regard to
them, as children put everything that is sweet

To Physicians.
The Proprietors of Risley’s Compound Extract of
BUCHU would solicit your attention to that prepara
tion, with a view to its trial in your practice. Coun
try Physicians especially, whose facilities are limited
for obtaining at all times fresh and reliable prepara
tions of the kind, would do well to make a trial of its
remedial qualities, and should it prove as represent
ed in all diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder and Ure-
tha, will it prove not only a convenient form forgen-
eral nse, lint an agreeable preparation, so far as re
gards taste, Ac u to your patients. The preparation,
{ rou will bear in mind, was suggested by several em-
neut Physicians who wanted u reliable article in a
convenient form for their own practice; and by
them and hundreds of others it has been used for
years, alway with happiest results. In all diseases
of the Urinary Organs it is a remedy safe, speedy, ef
fectual, and can bo relied upon with the utmost con
fidence. And so also in Uterine disease it will be
found to be most admirably adapted, and if taken
according to directions will very seldom if ever fail
in effecting aspeedy and permanent cure.
