Congressional Hurial Ground.
Washington, .April 1?,, 1858.
1 have devoted a part of a day to a visit to the
Congressional Burial Ground, which is one of the
objects of interest to strangers in Washington,
she disposition to >. isit cemeteries and other rest
lug places of the dead is universal, and is in itself
ar> internal evidence of our own immortality, or at
lea c t r.f our convictions of a future existence. It
is not the mere indulgence in romantic notions or
the effects of a mawkish sensbiilty that impel us
to visit these cities of the dead, it is perhaps na
tural enough that each individual should cherish
the snot where reposes all that was mortal of lii.s
loved and lost ones ; but we must look beyond this, ;
and far beyond the mere gratifying of a morbid i
curiosity, to find the reason why almost all classes |
of mankind are insensibly led" to wander among !
ihe habitations of the departed.
The Congressional Burial Ground at Washing- j
ten does not compare with the cemeteries of note
m various parts of the country. It lies near the
eastern branch of the Potomac, rather more than i
a mile east of the Capitol, and containing about
ten acres of ground. It dates back to the year j
1807. Its surface is conveniently arranged for
burial purposes, but it presents none of that divei*- i
aity of hill and dale and variegated scenery which j
reuder Mount Auburn and Greenwood so attrac
tive. Its chief merit is it s sequestered location,
.endering any future disturbance of its sleeping
tenants improbable. ° I
she first objects that attract the eye of a visitor !
.re the small plain cenotaphs erected in memory j
of those members of Congress who have died a">
\\ ashington. These are arranged in double rows, !
and number one hundred and twentv-eight in all.
in some instances the graves beneath them are |
ien&mle**, as in the cases of llenrv Clay, John
Quincy Adams, and others, but most of them have
not beeD disturbed since the remains of the great
men of the nation were deposited there. The in- I
setiptions on the-e cenotaphs are uniform, and
give simply the names of the dead, the States
from which they came, and the dates of their j
death.
I shall have space to notice a few of the most in- j
seriating and striking monuments to be found here,
and must do that briefly.
■The remains of lienrv Stephen For, nephew of !
Tht celebrated Charles .lames Fox, and for many '
years British Minister t«. thi* Government, are in- j
closed in a plain ma.sive marble sarcophagus, near j
to the Congressional cenotaphs.
The monument erected to the memory ot Major j
Genera! Alexander Macomb consists of a beautiful !
marble shaft, with appropriate military ■ mblems,
surmounted by a liemlel with tho vi-or down,
ihe epitaph is’from the General orders of the War j i
Department, and is most expressive, li runs as
follows: , i
“ It were but a small tribute to his memory to |
»ay that in youth and manhood he served hiscouu- ! '
try in the profession in which he died, during a
period of more than forty years, without -min or !
blemish upon his eseutheon.”
A plain but graceful granite shaft marks the
resting-place ot Abel R-irkei Fpshur, formerly
Secretary of the Niivv, and afterwards of State, ’ ;
and also of Captain Beverly Lennon, of the \,iw, !
who were killed on the 28th of February, 164-1, lit
the bursting of the great, caution on board the i
Princeton. They wer.- warm friends in life, aud
were buried together. . i
Major-General Jacob Brown, who died in iscs, <
lies under a massive broken marble column, erect- 1
cd by order of Congress.
One of the finest, perhaps the most attractive, i
monument here is the- one erected to William <
Wirt. It is constructed of white marble, and has j ;
a door of entrance in it.-- massive base, with a <
graceful shaft above. There is very little riu- t 1
mental work about it, and but few inscriptions.
Commodore Charles W. Chauncei, who died in I
Mexico, in lsii, ha* a light and graceful marble 1
shaft, with appropriate emblems and inscription-.. ’
One of the handsomest in the gi onnds i- a tall I
spite of white marble, Mendei and tapering, like 1
Cleopatra’* needle, - oie, the grove ot the 1
late John W Maury, . thi District, who died I
only about y «-ai ago. The inscription, which is
•aid to have been well merited, is a* follows : "His
character yva» blende. 1 with all that can elevate oi
adorn, and his life was a bright example of the
nobility- and power ol virtue.”
One ~f tbu prettiest designs is an inverted can
non, aDo of marble, > erected to the memory of ’
Lieutenant John T. McLaughlin, late of the l ui
ted Stares Navv; another to the memory of Licit- j
tenaht George Mifflin Bache, of the coast survey,
and nffi-eri ami crew who perished yvith him in ! *
the brig Washington, which wits lost in the Gulf f
Ftream in 1 : 46, represents the broken mast of a ‘
vessel, and ’lie sculptor lias beautifully imitated i jj
•he splinter of the timber.
Captain George W. Taylor, ihe invent .i of thi '
submarine armor, reposes under a little* plain mar
ble slab, not more than three feet l«*ng by eighteen !
inches wide, laid carelessly on n pile of.unsightly J
bricks, a fotv inches above the ground. * ‘
The most elaborate monument is that >t the
faniilv of Jacob Gideon, beneath which at de- I 1
posited the remains of hi* deceased wife, "To rnv . 1
wife;” and below is» large daguerreotype set in
the marble. The efleet i» very pretty, and U.e
design appropriate.
Llorid.• Gerrv, formerly A ice l’resideiu, who
died in , .4, at the age .of seventy, while on his ;
wav to the Capitol, to t..ke his seat as President
cf the Senate, ha* a richly ornamented monument ,
in the old style, whi ch "was erected by order of j
Gjiigre-- He realizod his own memorable ;
words, which constitute the epitaph eng'aved on ;
his tomb, and were as follows: “Ii is the duty
of ever, citizen, though he may have but one day '
ro live, to devote that dav to the good of his
country.” . j
Near l > is another, .-reeled to the memory of
George Clinton, also one.- N ice President It con
*ia« of ft massive granite pedestal and obelisk,
surmounted by an iron torch bolder, the taste dis
played in which is lobe doubted.
Pusb-ma-ta-ha, a Choctaw chief, who died at
Washington in 1 *24, had « plain cenotaph, erected
by his brother chiefs.
The celebrated eccentric lxirenz" l)mv is said to
hare been buried here, but I was utiabh to iind
anv clue to hw resting place.
Jlany of the stones contain no names, and are
probably on family lots. The inscriptions on such
are sometimes very pretty and affecting. Among
these 1 noted the following: “Mv wife and child
reu.' - .This neat little shaft, ornamented with
doves and roses, contain' nix simple names, and
tells the mournful story of some husband and lath
er's terrible bereavement . "Mv Dear Wife,"- is
repeated in several parts of the ground. The sin
gle word “Willie” stands alone on one tasteful
dab: “Mv Husband and our Children" on anoth
er; “Our Darling Hoy," “Our Buy, and "Our
Father,” with no other record, are to be seen on
various stones and monuments, of all sizes and
designs while kneeling cherubs and si -ping
lambs, in marble and plaster, are scattered pro
fusely around.
Seme of the epitaphs or in-ciptions are -xceed
mglr pretty and suggestive. 1 can give but :• tew.
One stone contains only the following sentence :
' Peace to the spirit of J Another,
I ki>'«■ that he shall tise again." A third, "His
■mu w*tt down while it was vet day." On the
conninent to a Russian lady, *• She lived to see
troubles ; she died to comprehend God and eterni
ty." Another reads a* follows; “My hit-band I
uy memory is to me wlmt the vv i- to the
rose.”
But 1 have reserved for the last » hat to me was
ihe roost interesting and affecting of all the scenes
on which 1 accidentally came during the half day
i spent in this Udv ground. In a retired spot u
imall space :u entirely surround by a high brick
t-ai much dilapidated, and showing that no care
had been bestowed upon it for years. There is no
mound inside, and a few rose bushes hare been
suffered to jrow wild and unt rim mod in either
corner. Ju=t againM one side of the wall, as if
carelessly thrown down, leans a small square slab
of marble, on the upper poi i ion of which is en
graved in capital letters, the single word ‘Gentle '
Beneath this are the following lines :
“ The cup of life just to his lips he pressed
Found the draught bitter, and declined the rest."
This is certainly a Mrange and weiid record
but of wha\ and whom ’ I could have mused for
hours beside this singular sepulcher, and fanev
would havejreercated many a romantic history’;
but speculations were in vaiu, and the shades of
•veaiag warned me that I must leave the quiet and
peaceful habitations of the dead, and retrace r.i
«Wps to tne abodes of the living, to mingle again
iu the passions and duties of those who might be
som* better and wiser if tbev would do 6> I have
dose, pass au occasional half day in the Congres
sional Cemetery at Washington.

i he government of the Netherlands is earnestly
a F''°J p ct for abolishing slavery- in its

been decided on, and public opinion has long been

' f lt T °* °p;nion as to the manner in which it om>ht
to be carried out. "
A is atate «l, on the authority of a coi respondent
of the Brussels I»depmdan-e, that ihe Pope and
the king of Naples have made up all their quar
rels the latter sovereign having renounced all the i
1 ecclesiastical rights which he clairm-d in Sicily 1
and having received in exchange one of the Roman !
i principalities of Beurrento or Ponte Carvo. * j
j Prince Worozoft, whose palace, the finest in St '
Petersburg, hasjnst been fitted up for ihe recem i
tion ot Count Moray, would seem to be a man of I
j •normous wealth. He owns five palaces in Odessa
- and eleven in the Crimea, to sav nothing ofanoth- I
er in Et. Peterburg. The rent paid bv Count Mot- 1
i ny is SIO,OOO ay-ear.
j Ihe somewhat famous Marquis de Maubreuil
who, some years ago, created such a sensation bv j
lying the cross of the Legion of Honor to Ins I
horse s tail and dragging it through the streets of '
I 1 , ttna . and "ho acquired still greater celebrity- bv ‘
j ['hindering the Queen of Westphalia of her" dia
, monds, has just been alloyved, bv the French Gov- i
■ eminent, a pension of six hundred franc* a rear. '
; The Congress of Toeplitz granted him a pension of 1
; five thousand francs per annum, rvbich he enjoyed ■
i for several years, till Guizot formally suppressed
it. He was once the owner of a magnificent estate,
valued at two million francs.
A. M. Sylvestre, who has already written the !
litres of several of the most eminent French art
lit*, lately applied to Horace Vernet for the mate- i
rml oat of yvhich to compose his biography . Vet
net thereupon gave him a large bundle of corres
pondence, comprising the letters which he had :
written while at St. Petersburg to his friends and i
family in Trance, telling him, at the same lime !
that he might publish them in any newspaper he j
saw fit. Sylvestre accordingly disposed of them '
after \ ernet had guaranteed their authenticity, to
Emile de Girardin, the editor of the Freese.' Six
ty thousand copies were struck off and sold
\\ hen, however, Sylvestre wished to publish the
letters in book form, Vernet interfered, and the
consequence is that the whole affair has been
brought before the Paris tribunals—Sylvestre pre
tending that Vernet gave him the letters—Vernet
thin he onlv lent them.
A Paris loiter writer thus speaks of Hope, the !
banker, who lately died in Paris, and whose es- i
tablishment in that city yvas the envy of kiims : |
“Hope’s intellect, just before he died, yvas half]
addled by excessive indulgence, and he had fallen i
a prey to gamblers, loose yvomen, jockeys, and ad
ventures of every description. His eotlossal for- j
tune yvas sadly shattered, if not wholly under- j
mined ; and it would be impossible a< the present
day,,to sav what the wreck of it is yvorth. The I
origin of his fortune has hitherto been a mvste- |
ry. It is now known that he otved nearly all of it
to M. Dopfl; his step-father. Baron I)optr belong- :
ed to an old family, long settled in Maegtrict.
In his youth he entered the army, but left it to en
ter the luuwe of Hope C’ ; , when Holland was
annexed to the French Republic. He married the
widow of nope, Sr., and, at his death, left two wills '
one in Paris and the other in London—by which 1
lie constituted his step-son his sole legatee, to the 1
exclusion of the other heirs.’’
The late Mr. Hope also left all his property to a 1
Mr. Crosby. Those who could have inherited
through M. Dopff attack this latter testament, and 1
say that the deceased exceeded his powers, as bv
the terms of.M. Doptf’s will the property could no’t
go out of the family. One of the greatest curiosi
ties at the exhibition of the late Mr. Hope's effects, r '
was a memorandum book richly bound and open- '
ing by moans of a secret spring. In this book the i
Dutch Don Juan had noted in a long list the <
names of his female conquests, with marginal ref
erences and annotations of such a character that
even the French letter-writer contents himself i
with "merely alluding to them.”
Out of the one hundred and tyventy American

V> - made such comments as occurred to ti t vc*.
terduy in n-gutd to the assault upon Mr. Sumner. .
We are uo friends to violence, and especially are
we tillable to justify tin mode eho-cn hv Mi.
Li >oh.« fu his attack, or to find any apology for
his selection of a place which liould be kept, sacred
from such s*t-ne.«. It must be admittted, however,
hy all who arc disposed to regard the subject rea
sonably and dispassionately, that the portion of ;
Mi Sumner’s .-.peech which prompted the act of
violence, and which we publish to-day, is exces- 1
-ivelj in.-olting and provoking, and not only high -
ly indis .■>■> ci in sentiment and language, but uu- I
justifiable, in any view in which it can be regard
ed, We should despise the son of Massachusetts
who could .; wr his native State arraigned in such
a temper without feeling and manifesting his in
dignation. and it would he strange if a South Car
olinian did not resent the arrogant and contemptu
ous tone which Mr. Sumner saw tit to indulge to
wards South Carolina.
In regard to Judge Butler, iim.-inueh a- His ex- :
pressions were limn pointed and personal, thev
would be likely to excite even keener resentment.
Mr. Butler is an old man, long a member of the ;
Senate, an accomplished gentleman, mid a most
amiable and honorable person. Os course he en
remains extreme Southern opinions on the subject
of slavery, but his character deservedly stands wry
i high : lie is a gentleman of urbane and courteous
demeanor, and is universally beloved, esteemed !
and respected. Mr. Sumner’s personal attack upon ;
him wa-, in our opinion, unmannerly and indecent
iu the highest degree, and none the more to Mr.
Sumner’s credit that ii was made in Mr. Butler’s
absence from his place and from the city of Wash- j
ington.
N’o person can reasonably suspect us <>t a dUpn- ■
•ition io check the freedom of debate. What de
bate conducted upon just and fair pi incip’.es, is
another question, which we will not discuss now.
But, in our judgment, no man who professes the ;
doctrines of peace, has a right to employ that kind
of language which inevitably provokes war, and
then undertakes to shield himself behind his non
; resistant defences. And if he finds himself
dragged out and made to suffer the penalty of his
intemperance, who can he blame ? He has volun
tarily put himself upon a par with the intemperate
and the violent, and must submit to the conse
quences. Ksop informs us that a trumpeter, who
was once taken prisoner in battle, claimed exemp
tion from the common fate of prisoners of war, in
ancient times, on the ground that he carried no
weapons, and was in fart a non-combatant. “Non
combatant' -aid his enemies, pointing to his
trumpet, a- they prepared to put him to deaili,
“why, you hold in your hand the very instrument
which in it - our enemies to ten-fold "fury against
us."
A Tot chi vc. IwinKvr.—The saddest story that
we ever read was that of a little child in Switzer
land, « pet hoy, just ns yours is, reader, whom his
mother, one bright morning, rigged out in a beau
ful jacket nil shining with gilt and buttons, and
gav as a mother’s love could make it, and then per
mitted him to go out to play. He had scarcely
stepped from the door of the “Swiss Cottage,"
when an enormous eagle scooped him from the
earth and bore bun to his nest, high up among
the mountains, and vet within sight of the house
of which he hod been th# joy. There he was kill
ed and devoured, the eyrie being at a point which
was literally inaccessible to man, so that no relief
could be afforded. In tearing the child to pieces,
the eagle so placed his gay jacket in the nest that
it became a fixture there, and whenever the wind
blew it would flutter, and the sun would shine up
on its lovely trimmings and ornaments. For years
it was visible from the low lands, long after the
es'ffe had abandoned the nest. M hat a sight it
must have been to the parents of the victim.
The Fonci. or Beauty.— The force of beauty i»
universal aud the homage as general, but it is not
always that one hears in the street as pretty a com
pliuieiit as we did the other day. \\ aiding along
one of the streets up town, au ordinary loosing
man arrested the progress of a very beauuhil
young matron, with an infant in her arms, by the
exclamation—“A word with you, madam, if you
please?" She stopped, and turning opposite to
aim, said, "What do you wish, sir?” ‘Nothing,
madam, only to see if the babe is as beautiful a*
the mother!” We thought for a moment that she
seemed a little vexed, but her countenance softened
cfUickly, and smiling, she kissed the

From a new work called L’lnde Contemporaine,
| by F. de Lanofe, lately published at Paris, the
. Neyv A ork Tribune translates the following story,
L which is almost too good to be true :
- \\ hen Lord H , the recently appointed Gov
t ernor of Madras, was going out to India, he found
a l ~u ez ’ comfortably installed in the best stateroom
• cit the steamer, a I renchman whose bearing, cos
turne and language realized the conventional ty-pe
• , 1 , P er fcct gentleman; irreproachably shod,
gloved, bartered, and cravated, wearing immacu
i late liuen, and putting on for every- meal an en
tire neyv dress of the latest cut, and marked bvthe
i hn *rA ' j S * e ' ”he were travelling yvithout a suite,
. ana had entered on the register only his first name,
j it yyas without doubt because he had good reasons !
: ioi preserving an incognito—political reasons, per- |
I haps. And it from the enormous mass of his bag- I
j gage he might, have been supposed to be a travel- ;
i i °- 11 h‘ s "'ay to the East yyith samples of i
i all the fabrics of Paris, his pithy conversation, the |
grayity of nis manner and his dignified reserve j
sometimes slightly ironical upon the productions
fit the kitchen and cellar of the purser, disposed I
of this supposition ns promptly as did the crown I
of an earl yvhich yy as borne upon each of his nu- i
i merous trunks.
Besides, he spoke understandingly of the salons i
j of London and Paris, of the balls of Lord C I
j the entertainments of Earl YV , and the din- '
i n '- rs Baron K ; giving such details that it i
j yvas impossible not to suppose that he had taken a '
! prominent part in them, and more than that, a few 1
i words earlessly let fall in his conversation induced
I the supposition that lie had lived on intimate
terms with Lord Dalhonsie, the Governor-General
: of India, who yvas then expecting him at Calcutta.
I All these data, compared, computed and comment
ed upon bv the restless curiosity of his fellow
travellers, led them, and Lord ll——, first of all,
i conclude that this mysterious personage must !
; be a commissioner, sent by the French Govern- j
j ment to its establishments in India, or at least the !
Governor of Chandemagore.
This point being once settled, the stranger ua- !
! turally became the lion, the centre of observation I
: and attraction of the little coterie of the cabin I
Lord H. proclaimed him to be without a rival at i
whist, aud would havo no other partner and I
; bought himself perfectly- happy- when he ’could i
! fee seated on his right side at table a man yvho, on !
.tin* first inspection, relentlessly reduced to the I
loyy-est deeps of the vinous hierarchy wines which
were presented to him as the products of the most 1
; favored soils. This Frenchman was in fact a uni- !
I \5 rsal genius. At the concert in the evening at
I 1hf ‘ vei 7 moment even, when on the quarter-deck
he exchanged grave political remarks on men and |
things in Europe yvith Lord H., he would careless- |
ly approach the musicians to correct n discordant
\ n?te. or to approve, by a patronizing gesture, a |
1 difficult passage victoriously surmounted. About I
die tea table he wore the same masterly condesceu- i
slop, not even disdaining to give his advice in re- I
lation to the best methods of"making the precious !
beverage, and ho seetnod to be as well acquainted ;
as Robert Fortune himself with all tho varieties of
the aromatic plant. Happy, then, the young miss
yvho was intrusted with the delicate functions of i
Hebe, if she succeeded in exchanging for a smile ]
of approbation the sweetened cup and the toast
yvhich she lutd artistically prepared for this privi- 1
leged mortal, for, although it must be said that
he had evidently doubled Capo Forty, he might
still be called a handsome man, and they yvere al
most certain that he was unmarried.
So he reigned k'ng of fashion on the steamer I 1
from Suer to Ceylon, where he excused himself ;
from an invitation to dinner, sent him by the Gov* !
ernor of that island, alleging that he yvas indis- ' 1
posed; from Ceylon to Madras, where Lord II j ’
attempted in vam to induce him to remain, and at |
parting expressed his regret and esteem with such
energy that he nearly broke three of his fingers;
and from Madras tit Calcutta, where his fellow
travelling friends were stupefied yvith horror to j ‘
learn that he whose influence they- had ;ill sought ‘
for, yvho* - ease they had admired, whose manners '
they had applauded, whose regard, whose smiles i
and preference they had been intriguing to gain,
was none other than a clever French cook, whom ’
Lord Dalhonsie yvas importing to take charge of ?
his ranges. j i
One must be an Englishman to comprehend and
describe the confusion ot' the voluntary dupes of j
this mystification. YVhen I was in Calcutta and
Madras it yvas the topic of conversation in all the i >
European people were talking about it,
and perhaps are still, more in a spirit of sadness
than of jest; and I am sure that in all India no ,
man hut Lord Dalhonsie would have dared to laugh ! -
over it heartily. = ' ’

thing, and it is very rare that they are ever heard
; of again after their credentials have been delivered. !
’ But M. Dubois, the Ambassador of his Majesty of .
the Netherlands, has scarcely set his foot upon our j
shores when he has become famous. It must shock j

ihe Dutch Ambassador to find himself a notoriety ■
so suddenly without aoy effort on his own part,
M. Dubois,it will be remembered, came passenger
: iu the Arago, iij company with Mr. Buchanan, and
h“ was eating his first breakfast in Washington, at
Willard’s Hotel, when the terrible affray occurred
in which one of the waiters of the house was killed j
by a member of Congress. The newly arrived 1
; Ambassador looked quietly on and made no at- j
tempt to interfere, for the whole scene was perhaps >
! so perfectly in accordance with the travellers’ sto- 1
rits he had read of life in America, that he regard
ed it as an ordinary occurrence. He finished his
coffee, and, ascertaining that the man who had
been shot was dead, walked out of the breakfast J
parlor, and, meeting a gentleman whom he knew,
the Minister exclaimed, “ What a peoples ! If *
they do such things at breakfasr, what won’t they j
do at dinner?"
It is not at all wonderful that the diplomat should i

Singular Incident. —Some time ago, au Eng
lish man-of-war touched at u foreign port, and the
I Admiral was invited on shore to dine with an old
; friend, at whose table sat an American lady with
her two grown up daughters. The entertainment
was passing off very pleasantly, when Admiral
said: “Speaking of incidences, I have lately
come across au American paper containing the ac
count of a very singular murder case; perhaps
j these ladies know something about it, as it eccurred
in Boston. The murderer was Prof , humph,
i J forget the name now."
The Admiral was about to proceed, when the
i American ladies got up in the greatest consterna
tion and hurried from the room, leaA'ing the guest
rather chagrined, and at a loss to account for their
conduct. Though painful to the hospitable host,
he felt it his duty to explain A-cry briefly the cause
j and the simple recital brought tears from the old
Admiral, as the unwitting cause of carrying sor
row to any one. The subject was too delicate for
an explanation, and grieved beyond measure, he
bade a hasty adieu to his old friend, and in an
, hour more, his frigate was dashing from port with
all sails spread. It is only necessary for us t-o sa v
that Fayal u T as the port, and the American ladies
the wife and daughters of Prof. Webster. It is
indeed true that the sins of the parent shell be vis
ited upon the children.

; Give Him Justice.—Last fall, in Boston, a man
: : detecting an unlawful intimacy between his wife
and a neighbor, entered a complaint against them,
! u P c \ r y vhl , ch tl } e >VT ere held t 0 ba]l . which they
readily found. The injured husband was also
I bound over as principal witness, and, beino unable
to get ba.l was, of course placed in jail to await
the trial. The other day the case came up before
Judge Abbott; it was found, however, that the
| husband could not be a witness against bis wife
1 and so the pasties were all dismissed. Thereupon
the injured husband, “more in sorrow than inan
i ger,” addressed the court as follows:
j “Your honor, is this what they call juaticeV
j Here, six months ago, I complained against this
! man for criminal intercourse with rnv wife; there
j upon I was locked up out of the way’, and he has
! lived with her ever since. Now, you say I can t
j testify, and there’s no case against him. Why
; couldn’t von tell me so last fall, without keeping
j me in jail all winter, and leaving the parties to go
, on hall a year longer, making a bad matter worse,
j without me to trouble 'em. Darn such justice.”
I'hk Wrong Nigger.—Soon after it was known
that LcidesdorfTs property in this city was im- I
mensely valuable, a well known gentleman, then ;
living here, but since dead, left town in a great
hurry, and was absent some months, when he re- j
; turned, to the great wonderment of his acquaint
- ances, who were entirely in the dark as to where ;
j he had been or what he had been ia pursuit of.
i After awhile it leaked out that, he had been to the !
! West Indie.-, looking tip LeidcsdorffAs heirs, and 1
! finding, as he said, a female that he believed was !
j thy real Simon Pure heir of the vast estate, lie i
I without ceremony, popped the question, was ac
| cepted, and married forthwith, congratulating hiru
; «elf that Capt. Folsom, and all other claimants
would have to stand aside, while he, the great na- i
bob of California, would be without a rival in the j
Golden State. After the marriage, in preparing
the necessary documents and getting up testimony
to substantiate the claims of his lady fair, he .
found, to his astonishment, that he had made a
small mistake, and that, in fact, he had “married
! the wrong nigger. —California Paper.
Feminie Inquisitiveness.—■“ Mr. Jenkins,” ex
claimed a bustling old ladv, “ 1 heard you was
robbed last night. Now, do tell me all about it.
What did the critters steal ?”
“ They stole my plate,” answered Mr. J. quietly', i
“Massy on us! you don’t say so! Why how
much was it worth ?”
“ About two shillin’s,” was the reply.
“ Two shillings ! Why, what sort of plate are
