ociUfMp e'onsUtutiomi list BY JAMES GARDNER. Paulsen, the Chess-Player. A correspondent of the Boston Journal, w riting from Chicago, says cf the unparalleled chess feat recently played out in that city by Mr. Paulsen, as f °The most stupendous achievement in chess the world ever saw has just been successfully per formed in this city, and Louis Paulsen now stands Deerless On Monday evening he commenced Slaving blindfolded ten simultaneous games igainst Chicago. Mis opponents were carefully selected from among the most skilltu! players of the Chesa Club, who used every exertion to check mate their gallant antagonist. Mr Paulsen sat apart from every one on the stage of Light Guard Hall, with his back to the ten boards. Two gentlemen of this ciiv acted as tellers, and circulated among the players, calling aloud each move on the different tables, winch were designated by their respective numbers from one to ten Mr. Paulsen would reflect a few mo ments, and then, without apparent effort, an nounce his own move in return. His attitude and bearing were like those of a person m a trance— his head thrown slightly forward, his eyes closed, his figure motionless, and nothing to indicate life save an occasional working of the face when a skillful step was taken by an adversary or a sud den coup de baUllle contemplated by himseir. Ihe progress was stow. At the close of the first even ing, however, enough of his surpnsmg ability was displayed to make even the most experienced of his opponents feel nervous, and induce them to use every tactic to out-manoeuvre him. During the second evening his advantage over several was clearly to be seen. The spectators became much excited, but the sympathies of those who had no friends playing were plainly given to that single silent man, thus pitted against a host of foes. Mr Paulsen could at any time recapitulate the precise position of each piece upon every board, and when an occasional difference arose concern ing some disarrangement which he detected, his assertions had in all cases proved correct,•While thoße who had their eyes open were forced to ac knowledge their error. It was evident that his astonishing memory and concentration enabled him to recall at will each move made from the first upon either board, and thus bring it as clearly to hiR mind’s ere as if it were bodily before him. Tfie third evening was expected to finish this un precedented feat. The audience wus on tip-toe with excitement, and every one seemed uncontrol lably worked up, except he upon whom all inter est centered. The self command exercised ap peared miracuious, and none would have suspect ed what an intense, powerful stretch must have been upon that singular brain ; calmly he sat, us if casting some problem in simple interest rather than performing a labor of herculean magnitude. Throughout he was subjected to one unfairness, wt'cb, however, serves now only to heighten his glory Not alone did he play against ten oppo nents, but fifty-as, by a strange license, a few of the audience were allowed to mingle with the players, and at each table two or three deeply versed in chesa seated themselves to advise those whom Mr. Paulsen’s brilliant attacks had discom fited. He thus battled with the combined strength of the entire city opposing him. Every player, too, expected him to make the assult, while their chief effort was to fortify a position so as to be impreg- At eleven P. M. game nine resigned. In fifteen minutes game fire uid likewise, and game two was drawn at its player’s request. Mr. Paulsen then made some mtshiog, splendid attacks upon the rest, and might doubttes have finished them, but the miduight hour interrupted. He agreed tocon tinue, but thoughtit best to adjourn, and give those who wished an opportunity to play out at the club , . room on the next evening. Mr. Paulson rose quickly when this decision was announced, seemingly not jaded in the least. He 'i- is rather an ordinarv looking naan, with a decided ly German cast of features, and nothing but a sin- I gulurly broad head to indicate uncommon powers. L* The games were finally finished lust evening, Mr. fr" -i.; Paulsen beating five of the remaining seven, «ui I consented to draw the other tiro, though he mipht sos U.TsUNtJ 'games* blindfolded' iV without a .JEST* parallel. Mr. Morphy never attempted Out seven, «nd thus is outdone. The whole city is tilled with wonder.

The Fire Department of Paris. A letter from Paris in the New \ork 'limes describes the fire department in that capital as follows: ... , The fire department at Paris, like the police, is a military organization, aud consists of one thou sand men. lis members are drawn from the army, and are under the control of the Minister of »\ ar, except when on duty as firemen, wheu they obey the orders of the Prefect of Police. They are picked, and consequently efficient men, and are carefully drilled and trained in gymnastic exer cises. They are enrolled for the same number 1 " of years as soldiers in the army, and cost the treasury annually five hundred and sixty thousand francs, a little over one hundred thousand dollars. They wear uniforms—blue cassimere jacket, buttoned up to the throat, pantaloons of the same stuff, made large, and a brass cap. They have a strong leather strap around their bodies, in which there is a ring, and by which they can be suspended. Their principle arm is a fire-axe. Hut their en gines are mere sviluges, aud their hose compauy nul. The French machines are very small, and only throw water. They must be supplied by buckets. On the occasion of the destruction by fire of the building called Grand Conde, lines were formed in all directions, into which the policeman pressed men, women and children for the passage of buckets. Barrels on wheels were also put into requisition, but not a single hose. The river was only two hose lengths from the fire, hydrants were plenty, there was no wind, and yet the Grand Conde burned seven hours before the walls fell in, and it is burning yet at the eighth day, with engines constantly playing on it. All the walls of the neighboring houses have been damaged so that the people hare left them, and props have been put up to save them from falling. All this results from inefficient machiues and from too much official parade. The preventive side of the question, however, is immensely in favor of the French .system. Thi9 system consists lu a strin fent law in regard to the mode of construction of ouses', and in placing fireman, hydrants, reser voirs and hose-pipes, wherever there is most danger of a fire. With her powerful engines, if New York would adopt this careful preventive system, 9he would save millions of property annually. This is, in fact, one of the reforms she must sooner or later adopt. £j He is oniy a Printer. * The following tribute to the noble preservative ft art we find in a cotemporary, and we commend its strong contrast to the intelligent reader: m He is only a printer.

What is Prince Frederick r William, jußt married to the Princess of England? He, too, is only a printer. Who was William Clax ton, one of the fathersof literature? He was only a printer.

Henri de , Riviere, at the Napoleon Hotel, Hoboken, where . he is at present remaining, in the custody of , officer McDonough, awaiting farther action of his ] counsel, Gen. Vv right, in regard to the charge . against him by Col. Blount. The Captain has rented comfortable quarters, , occupying rooms number eleven and thirteen of the hotel, both of which are furnished with all the comforts that could be desired. Around the room hung his military clothing aud sword, which he said he used in the Crimean war. Quite a large number of letters lay upon the table, and among them a pocketbook, containing some half a dozen letters, through each of which was a bullet hole, a ball having passed entirely through and struck a case in his pocket, which saved liis life while in a fight. The captain was occnpying a seat at the table when our reporter entered. He is in appearance a very sharp and intelligent looking man, ap parently about twenty-eight years of age, tall, well built, with black eyes and hair. He has even appearance of a French soldier, and talks remark ably good Fnglish. On the bed beside him lay a revolver heavily loaded. He showed no signs of fear, but laughed at the idea that he was to be kid napped and carried off, as it was reported it was the intention of the Jersey City officers to do. Captain de Riviere in reply to the question, Was he married to Miss Emma Blount? denied it, and stated furthermore that he should not be until he had fully shown that he was m every respect wbat he represented himself to be, and his inno cence fully proven as to the charges that were made against him. He expressed his determina tion to remain with Madam Blount and her daugh ter, should he be killed in the attempt, they having placed themselves under his protection, and he will submit to no intrusion upon their rights but by law. He is willing to have an examination, which will no doubt be granted him next week. He assured oar reporter that Miss Blount was truly in love with him, and had sworn to become his. As a proof, he showed the following letters, one of which was sent to him while the young lady was at the house of Dr. De Wees, at No. 791 Broadway: My Dear Friend: When you are absent from me I suffer so much from anxiety. I am in con stant dread of hearing that you are either killed or wounded. I have heard my father and your enemies make so.many threats what they would do if they could only put their hands upon you, that they would not be governed by either law, justice, or anything else; they all say they thirst for your blood. I love you first above everything on earth, and will never marry any but you ; and next my mother. She has made every sacrifice that a mother could make for a child. I wunt you always to protect me, and I know and feel that you would lose the last drop of blood you have in my cause As for your marrying me, I have never doubted it, and 1 know you will do it. I send this by a faithful messenger. E. Blount. Wednesday. We are at present at Dr. De Wees’, Broadway. I don’t know the number. You can easily find out. Through the servants you can communicate. E. will be on Broadway often with young De Wees: he is lame. If you nave difficulty, have my testi mony taken, I will be a strong friend. [E.I It is opposite Grace Church. All pa’s friends here are trying very hard to make me be lieve Ido not care for you. I will be your’s and none other’s, even if it takes years for us to be happy once more. I have not time to write. We are obliged to write at intervals of a minute. Young de Wees told me yesterday that John Per dy told him he was at your wedding, and that you had license and witnesses, and that it was perfect ly good and could never be broken; every moment now is something, so come as soon as possible. Pa is telling everybody mother is crazy. Trust the man Coogao ; we have bribed him well. Pa is determined to take me back to Mobile. The last of the above letter was commenced by ;he mother and finished by the daughter. The I folMrityg written*" flylnlrmoml. J *C*pt. de Rivierre has numerous other letters from the voung lady which will be withheld from publication ior the present, showing her ardent attachment to him. Among the various letters he showed our reporter was one signed by Jas. Har per, Gen. Sanford, ex-Mayor Kinsland and others from this city, inviting him to New York to de liver his lecture on the war in the Crimea. He has also numerous letters of invitation from the most prominent men in New Orleans, St. Louis, Cincinnati and, other cities,“desiring him to visit their cities and deliver his lectures. After quite a lenghty conversation with the cap tain, our reporter was conducted to Mrs. Blount’s apartments, which are located on the third floor; and on being introduced by Captain de Riviere, she expressed a desire to make the facts public concerning Captain de Riviere, her daughter and herself, through the medium of the Herald. Mrs. Blount is a very amiable looking woman, of some thirty-five or forty years of age, and of medium height. She was dressed in a muslin de laine basque, light skirt, and gave evidence from her manner and conversation of being a well edu cated and refined person. She treats the report of her insanity as being exceedingly ridiculous and absurd. She seemed to regret‘that her family should have been thrust before the public in the manner they have. She seemed deeply afflicted in regard to what had occurred, and remarked that had Col. Blount believed what she believed in re gard to Captain de Riviere, they would have now beeu enjoying their home in Mobile. In regard to Captain de Riviere, she expressed the warmest feeling on his behalf, and said he had proved himself a gentleman and a man through out all the difficulties they had been forced to en dure. As to his standing, he had fully satisfied both herself and husband, months ago, by letters from persons of his acquaintance, both in the United States and France ; but through the efforts of some evil disposed persons she attributes the attack of her husband upon Capt. de Riviere. During the time the captain was at Mobile she said her husband always encouraged Capt. de Riviere in his visits to his bouse ana his attentions to his daughter Emily. It was not until Col. Blount learn ed that Captain de Riviere and Emily were engaged, that he turned against him. Story after story was then trumped up in regard to the captain, and among others was the report that he was a married man aud had a wife residing iu Philadelphia. This, she said, was indeed quite a serious charge, and she felt it her duty as a mother to investigate its truth. This she did, aud her efforts resulted iu ex onerating Captain de Rrviere from the charge made against him. Finding that her husband determied to separate tham, she decided that if her daughter was determined upon becoming the wife of Capt. de Riviere, she would protect her in what she deemed her rights. Their departure from home was only to consummate the marriage ceremonies, and it was agreed that they should proceed to Ha vana, Cuba, and there be united according to the ritual of the Roman Catholic church, but was pre vented by the arrival of her husband, who had followed them. Here they, at the urgent request of Captain de Riviere, left for New lork; but it was her intention, as soon as they had been mar ried, to return home to Mobile; but de Riviere and Emily were to proceed directly to France in the first s'teamer. Her treatment in this city she complained most bitterly of. On her arrival at the St. Nicholas Hotel she was taken sick and confined to her room, and during the evening of the day they arrived, her husband desired to take her from the hotel and carry her to the house of Doctor DeWees. He was prevented by Mrs. DeWees, who was present that eve- Ling; but on the following day she took up her quarters there. After they had been in Dr. De- Wees’ house two days, she was much astonished to find herself aud daughter kept as prisoners in the house, and soon found that the waiters and the family in general had been instructed to allow no person to communicate with her or Emily. This was on accouut of the arrival of Captain de Ri viere in this city, he having followed in the next steamer from Havana. After several days she said she was determined no longer to submit to such treatment, and watch ing her opportunity, in company With her daugh ter, left her huab'and at the above house. Mrs. Blount remained the first night at the St. Nicholas Hotel, and on the following day, in company with Capt. de Riviere, proceeded to the. Napoleon Hotel, AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 1858. Hoboken, where they still remain, with the excep tion of Emily, who, she says, is safely oat of the wav of her pursuers. Mrs. Blount assured our re porter that Capt. de Riviere and her daughter nad not as j'et been married. She will remain at the hotel until all is settled in regard to de Riviere, and will then return to Mobile to close up some business, when she will remove for good from the place and return North. From the London Times, qf June 21. The Right of Search. The Federal Government [of the United States] represents the aggregate of many communities which possess the same loose political organiza tion, and it is not surprising that the proceedings of the Administrations and of the different repre sentative bodies should bear traces of their origin. The American Senate contains as large a propor tion of men of ability as any deliberative body m the world, but on certain occasions all its mem bers seem to rival each other in the rashness and extravagance of their language. It is impossible to suppose that anv pretender to the character of a statesman desired to provoke an immediate col lision with the English fleet ata point where the American *ihrce would have been doubly outnum bered by its adversary; nor is it even likely that the ingenuous arguments in favor of a war which would secure a monopoly to native manufactures produced much impression on the Senate. Un luckily, the orators of Washington have accus tomed themselves to indulge to an inexcusable ex tent in the national weakness of blustering ex *§* geration. Accordingly, the friends of the Ad minstration boasted that orders had been given to repel the force by force in a case where it was perfectly known that no force was to be apprehended on the part of the English fleet • but even in America there are degrees of exem’ptioD from responsibility, and the opposition can always afford to outbid the government in noisy patriotism. Mr. Buchanan generally re ceives the support of the southern benators, ana the great cotton producing districts have always a certain regard for the English alliance. It was therefore reserved for the freesoil Senators, apd especially for the Abofitionists, to re-produce with the most startling effect the famous pogram de fiance. Better that the sea should swarm with slavers, and that the American flag should be 6 instituted to piratical purposes, than that the ritish lion should venture to roar in presence of the American eagle. Dispassionate reasoners on this side the water, who deprecate an unprofitable quarrel in an unjust cause, are naturally denounced by hostile eloquence as partisans of slavery; but on the present occasion the champions of the “pe culiar institution” are those who have often threatened to dissolve the Union rather than share in the guilt of perpetuating negro slavery. Their eloquence has fortunately tended to produce a re action in the feelings for the language of the rival party. In ihe technical language of American politics, “the opposition has bluffed the govern ment off the trackor, in other words, has out done it iu deference to real or supposed popular prejudices ; and it now remains for the President ancl his friends to recover, by the display of tem- Eer and statesmanship, the ground which they ave lost by their inferiority in ihe art of vitupera tion. There is reason to suppose that the agitation is begining to blow over, and that the display of the patriotic enthusiasm at Washington has sufficiently served its turn. The newspapers have recently published several contradictions of the rumors which for a considerable period formed the most interesting portion of every successive number, and the certainty that the great majority of the narratives will be found apocryphal can scarcely fail to influence the language of the Government. It is fortunate that the English Parliament has wholly abstained from an undignified imitation of noisy and vuigar challenges proceeding from Irritation. The conversations which have taken 1 place ia tooth Houses prove that aU.sttߣSliui^‘“' , “- agreed, kot qd!v as to the »te-tn-TffTernationsl I law, but as to the general necessity of keeping within its limits, Qenewl Cass’ nn 09 itegre© Mg long since Hid down by Lora Aberdeen, botn statesmen would adopt the interpretation of the law which has been repeatedly laid down ip our columns. In time of peace there is no right either of search or of visitation, unless it has been conceded by express treaty; but in suspicious cases cruisers may, at their own risk, satisfy themselves of the nationality of a vessel the American flag. The United Stages ask tor no privilege’.in favor of foreign ships which unlawfully assume their national colors; and, on the other hand, the English Government disclaims all intention ot interfering with American vessels. When mistakes are committed the injured party is entitled to re dress, and if they are made repeatedly,a presump tion arises that they must have been caused by an erroneous system of excessive activity. It is agreed on all hands that an English man-of-war may seize a Spanish slaver, although every mast is decked out with the stars and stripes, and it is equally certain that an American trader may load a cargo of slaves with impunity in full view of the whole English squadron. Where there is no dis pute as to the legal doctrine, a practical collision can only be occasioned by extreme awkwardness on the one side, or by wilful animosity on the other. It is true that a cause of offense still remains in the presence of an English force exercising a watch over the coast of Cuba; but the President’s government is in some degree responsible for the measure, and Mr. Fitzgerald has informed the House of Commons that the English Ministers have prudently resolved to send the squadron back to the coast of Africa. It would have been better that the concession should never have be come necessary, but it is wiser to repair a mistake than to persevere in it. A gentleman who has exercised the right of shooting on his own outlay ing field, in the immediate vicinity of his neigh bor’s nest reserve, cannot renouuce his undoubt ed right when he finds that a coldness has arisen : but, if he is a prudent and moderate man, he will on a future occasion choose his beat in a different direction. A Great Curiosity. —Last Sabbath, we met iu this city, a man by the name of Meredith Holland, a native of Monroe county, Kentucky, who can certaiuly beat the world, mathematically. He can answer any proposition which may be submited t# him, and do it without a moment's delay. His answers are always correct. We asked him how many seconds there were in four thousand years. Scarcely had the question been stated, when the answer was accurately given. This man looks like a country hoosier,* and if it were not for the extraordinary mathematical gift with which be has been eaefowed, he would t>e regarded as al most an idiot. He has traveled in company with several gentleman, over a large portion of fiurope, and is now about starting on a tour through the United States. He declares that every answer is presented to his mind simultaneously with the question; and that, therefore, he undergoes no mental effort m these mathematical exhibitions. Dalton. Times, July 9. Accident to Col. K. M. Hoe. —We regret to learn that Col. R. M. Hoe, the ingenious inven tor of the “ Last Fast” rotary steam printing press, has met with an accident at Brightside, which will confine him to his house for a couple of weeks. He was experimenting with an im proved washing machine and boiler, and had turned off the steam from the boiler; but without waiting for it to condense, he commenced to raise the lid, and had only succeeded in withdrawing the pin which held it down, when the iron cover flew off, the steam, hot suds and wet clothes flew into bis face with sufficient force to knock him down. His face and arms were scalded severely—but, fortunately, his eves are uninjured. From the elbows to the liana the skin was taken off. The accident occurred on the 21st ult., and he probably will be confined to the house for a wees or ten days longer.— Philadelphia Ledger.

The creek in which the body was found enters James river just below the wnarf where the Glen Cove was moored when the Seventh Regiment embark ed upon that steamer on Tuesday night. The em barkation took place at half past eight o’clock. The watch found *ipon the body stopped at five minutes before nine. The steamer departed at j ten o’clock. So that the casualty occurred after I I the embarkation. The deceased had certainly been on board, as he had divested himself of bis knap-1 j sack, cap and arms. The noise of his fall in the water and bis cries for help, if he uttered any, W*re drowned by the cheering and rattling dvntns. His body’ must have been floated up the creek by tbe tide. ■j The deceased was missed at roll call, after the I departure of the Glen Cove; and information of the fact was given to Lieut. Bossieux, of the Grays, by an officer of the 6th company, while the Grays were about taking a final parting with their New York friends, some distance down the river, whith er they had gone on board the Old Dominion, as our readers know, to await the arrival of the Glen Cove. This information occasioned various ru mors, one of which was that a member of the Grays, named Hamilton, was drowned. It seems as if the death of the deceased was foreshadowed; for even as early as Monday last, a rumor was in circulation that one of the guard was drowned; and the rumor of a casualty by drowning has con tinued with strange pertinacity, until it terminates in tbe reality of the untimely death of this young volunteer from New York. Richmond Dispatch, July 10. A Charitable Man. —The Boston Ledger con tains the following paragraph. The man alluded to deserves universal detestation, or should we not say—pity. “ The great accumulation of capital in the name of one person, on deposit in several bauks of the city, now amounts to upwards of two million dol lars. This is the man who refused to give five dollars for a charitable purpose, declaring that he was not able, because so much of his money w r as lying idle in the banks. The Exchange Bask.—We hear very lir'le said about this institution of late. It has scarcely any circulation in Georgia, so far as we cau learn, and it is probably fortunate that it is-so. We under stand that the stock is principally owned by a Mr. Barnes, late of New York, who is represented as being able to relieve the bank from its present em barrassment. Whether he will do so remains to be seen. We have no personal acquaintance with the gentleman, although he has been a resident of Griffin for several months. We learn that he is at present in New York on business connected with the bank. —Qrijfln South , B th ins!. > Brutality.—On the glorious Fourth of Juiy, 1 three patriotic adopted citizens, from the land ot the Ciesars—Messrs.

A western editor replies by assuring his contemporary that a good many men in that section have done the same thing by marrying one.

Awful Tragedy at Chicago. A most bloody and brutal murder was discovered this morning in the North Division, which must have been committed on the day previous. Tb# murdered person is a woman, named Jane McNs* mee. The first intelligence of the murder was com* municated by McNamee himself, who entered the stable of Mr. Wright, his employer, about four o’clock in the morning, and, with both bands raised, hurriediy exclaimed to the watchman on the premises, ‘‘Palmer, my wife is dead!” Palmer asked how it took place. “ I don’t know; I woke up and found her dead in bed this morning.” Palmer immediately went to the rooms occu- Inied by McNamee, and the appearances caused him at once to leave information at the North Po lice Station opposite, upon which McNamee was taken into custody. The coroner was immediately summoned, whe took charge of the rooms. The murdered woman had by her husband two children, a little girl and a boy. The hoy, four ' years old, wbb called as a witness, and gave testi mony as follows: Previous to the swearing of the last witness, the little boy was brought in and told his story. He is a very intelligent little lad, and told his tale with an artlessness and sincerity that carried conviction to the hearts of every one that beard it. In the morning he had keen asked by the coroner if bis father had whipped his mother, and replied, "No/’ He afterwards told Mrs. Cullom that “he daren’t tell that man for he would tell his father.” After he was brought in, his attention was first drawn to his playthings, until his timidity being overcome, he told in his childish, lisping prattle, how his father struck his mother, and she fell down; how the blood ran and she was “very sick bow he stamped upon her after she lay upon the floor, at the same time imitating with nis tiny foot, the motion ; how his mother lay in a dark room, and was “so bloody:” how his father drew her forth by the hair of the head, and, suiting the ac tion to the word, he grasped both hands in the hair; how his mother tried to get up, but could not, swinging his little body to imitate the mother; how he had no dinner in the day time, for his mother was asleep on the bed, but his father got him some after dark> that his father put him to bed; that hi 9 mother was in bed at the time, all bloody bv the nose; how she lay ou “the boards (the floor) with blood all round her; how his fa ther wiped up the blood with a dish cloth, and »put it in the pan; how he dtd’nt see why she did’nt die before, for his father did it very often. And finally, when asked It his mother was he distinctly said “no, but fader was.” scene long to be remembered by all I’m, in tli.- innocence "f bis ,1.-, v\ !i■:i not ;i hearer couJ^B 'it. jM B ... jig >!» \ ,i|gi * ■ ■ ■:-.* had I rish help.

It might have been ten minutes after this that my wife entered the room where I was sitting, and as she was somewhat of an invalid, I laid down the book I had in my hand, and leading her to the sofa, arranged the pillows to her liking when she remarked: “ I wish you would go into the kitchen, George. I am afraid there is something wrong about that Irishman of yours and the old cook, Phillis. They seemed to be quarreling as I crossed the hall, and I heard him saying something about its being your orders.” 5 “ Oh, it is nothing, my dear,” I replied, “ I un derstand it all. Pat requires some warm water, which Phillis, I presume, who bears him no good will, has probably refused to give him.” ( My wife said nothing more, and I returned to my reading, looking for some passages that I thought would please her, when we were both , startled by a crash of crockery, as if the end of the world had come, and then a suppressed shriek ( which told us too plainly that something unusual was to pay in the kitchen. I hurried out of the room and soon heard the voices of the parties to a desperate struggle. First came the squeaking (voice of Phillis, as if she could hardly speak for being choked: “ Hab done, I say; I won’t hab nuffin to do wid the nasty stuff, no way, so dar I” “ Te ugly ould contrary nagur, don’t I tell ye ’tis the masther’s orders/' responded Patrick Mul rooney. “ Taint no sich ting! Go way, you white, nasty Irisher. Who ebber heard of a ooman’s taken a mash afore ?” The truth flashed upon me at once, and the fun of the thing struck me so irresistibly, that I hesi tated for a while to break in upon the scene. Patrick proceeded: “ Arrah, be aisy, can’t ye, and take it as ye’re tould, like a dacent naeur.” “Go way, I tell you,” screamed Phillis; ‘Til call missus, dat I will. “ I say it’s the masther’s orders: he tould me to give the bran mash to the black Phillis, and ye’ve got to take it; so be aisy, and if yer can’t be aisy, be aisy as ye can.” This was enough. I stepped into the kitchen, seized the fellow as he stood over the frightened cook, and drove him out of doors; but as he went I heard him muttering that he didn’t know what to make of it for the life of him—he was thrying to do as he was told.— Harper ’# Magazine.
