Adventure with a Maniac.
Among the inmates of an insane asylum is
a pl usician who was formerly well known and
much respected in the community where he
resided : but reverses of fortune so preyed up
on his mind that he I ecarnc insane, and du
ring his delirious moments, would do much
mischief, so that, finally, his friends were
obliged to put him in the half crazy depart
ment of the asylum, where, during his ration
al p.-rinds, he received visits from his friends. |
A gentleman friend of the writer, who had j
Loen well acquainted with the doctor during
his prosperity, thus describes a visit:
After the Doctor was phi i in the asylum
I felt quite anxious to visit him; so, upon one
of the reception days I fund myself very,

tO“ The Mobile Rfciiiter perpetrates the
folllowing article in imitation of Miss From
McFlisuet who hal “Nothing to Wear:"
A New Use fox Hoop Skirts.—Miss Judy
O'Mulligan, aged thirty-eight—an elegant
creature, except that her pate is as red as the
. bows on her bonnet—her little png nose of a
lager beer hue—her eyes of a color 'twixt yel
• low and blue, and her month plenty large for
her words to come through without any ex
tra strain on it—Miss Judy O’M., then, if ru
in >r be true, has given us food for a sonnet.
Imagine this maiden in toggery fine—in lace
and fixings of every design—in a six foot di
ameter crinoline—as she gracefully sweeps
down the street. There’s a pride in her step
as she moves o'er the pave, ami a grace in her
ham! .. -he give it av. ave to a silly old “bach’’
who would fain l e Inr slave, and prostrate
himself at her feet.
As she floated down I imiphin, with airs of
a qneen, and parsed by the “Sqnaro” in its,
foliage of green, “0! what a lovely crea-I
tore!” with rapture exclaimed each one of
the throng which elianecd at that hour to be
passing along— “ Win.: loveliness in each sea-:
Hire I”
Uut the proud 'i ■ 'lulligun heeded them
not, and kept on in I. ■ ..urse, 'twixt a walk and
' a trot; tor their fawning expressions as she
I eared not a jot; (an 1 v. e think hr sentiments
i proper. For wl o with a maiden would ever
wed, that allowed such trash to turn her head?)
Their flattery did not stop her.
She kept on her way—as we stated before
—till her goal was r. ~< hed, n grocery store,
which is numbered (largo figures) “ 50-1,”
where she always “done her tradin'." Into
this she turned, with a smile on her face, and
. bowed to the clerks with a kilfing grace; and
i each one of them would have lost his place,
■ ere he slighted the lovely maiden.
The gentle Miss Judy, w hilst looking around,
' and asking if this thing and that thing was
sot.Ll, and pricing lard, sugar, :u..l bneon, per
pound to know just how much she'd be fakin'
—the obliging clerk turned a moment his head
to hear what another young clerk had just
said, when quickly the maiden with top knot
of red, ’ueath the folds of her crinoline dext’r
! ously sped an entire middlinj at'bacon (Ahl
Judy O’Mulligan, little you thought, when
pay ing the clerk fcr the things you had bought,
that the clever, obFJng young fellow had
caught you in th’ act i.t stealing bacon. But,
I rather ashamed to accu e you of thieving, he I
I waited to noticeyonrm ivemer.t when leaving, ,
to see how your load could be taken.)
And telling the clerk where her goods
should be sent, she smiled a “good evening,”
and homeward she went—not dreaming the
i-lerk followed after. But the gentle Miss Ju
dy had lost all her grace, tor the weight of
the bacon impeded her pace; and the young
man behind her grew red in the face, suppres
sing his inwaid laughter.
There is an old ailaae of “murder will out,” ,
without our assistance to bring it about; and
the saying holds good a ainst steal ng. For,
often, the care v.hieh is used to conceal the
commission of crimes which you would not
reveal, is the cause itself of revealing. Thus
it was with Miss Judy, who crossing a street
raised the front of her dress to exhibit her
; feet—a fashion not yet quite forsaken—when
'a misclile*.ous newsboy the bacon espied,
dropped, ais armful of papers—“O erickey 1”
be cried, boys, 'ere's a new way to hang ba
i con 1"
The guilty O'Mulligan uttered a shriek ; the
pallor of fear blanched her rosy cheek, and
; she fainted o'er aud o'er. But the clever
young clerk, wi n had seen her fall, sent aboy
■ round the corner a cab to call, into which she
■ was dfted, bacon all, and the cabman drove
' back to the store.
1 here - but little left of the story to tell;
on reaching the .tore the fair maiden was
well, and the theft she fully confessed, bhe
paid for the bacon and vowed ‘.hat ne’er more I
1 would she carry off meat from a grocery store. ;
i Amt there did the matter rest. But the clev

A Compliment to Gen. Morris
of the Home Journal,
The New Orleans True Delta relates an an
; C'dote which bliowa the influence of one of
i Gen. George P. Mon is's beautiful little sontrs.
Judge Harris, of Georgia, a scholar, a flue ju
rist, and a gentleman of extensive literary cul
tivation, regarded “Woodman Spake that
Tube” as the best ballad ot the age. He en
rolled it among bis favorites, and never heard
it from musical lips without emotion. On one
J occasion the Judge astonished a convival I
•‘gathering” by entering into the song with all
■ his soul. His daughter was seated at the pi
ano, and as her rich mellow voice sang stanza
after stanza, the Judge became visibly aft’ec- '
■ ted. At length, when she trilled the -..ords — ,
My heart-strings round thee cling,
Close as thy bark, oh! friend I
Here shall the wild-bird sing.
And still thy branches bend.
Old tree! the storm still brave!
And woodman, leave the spot;
While I’ve a hand to save,
Thy axe shall harm it not.
‘•Touch it if you dare!” cried the Judge,
striding across the room with clenched hand, i
while the eyes of those present opened wide ,
in wonder, ‘'touch it woodman, if you dare!" I
It is needless to say that his defiant energy i
and pu-sionate earnestness made silence al- I
most audible. The little audience was touch- '
ed, and it was some minutes before a word
was spoken. Gen. Morris should embalm this
anecdote. We venture to say that a more
sincere compliment has never been paid him
during his long and brilliant literary career.
A Marrying Man Roighj.y Treated.—
The Erie (Ba.) Dispatch relates the following
case, in which the course of true love seems to
I have run unusually rough:
For some time past a fellow by the name of *
' Cortez, who claims having at one time been a i
f’litbolic priest, had been lecturing in Harbor

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8,1859.
To Our Subscribers.
The Election now being over, the is
sue of the Daily State Press will be
discontinued for a while. The Week
ly will be published a: heretofore eve
ry Saturday morning.
We regret the necessity of suspend
ing our Daily, but up to this time it .
has not been remunerative, and it will
be utterly out of our power to contin-'
ne it without more liberal patronage.
Those who have paid for the Daily
will be credited on our \\ eekly sub
scripiion books for the balance due
them, or the monev will be retunded.
at their option.
All contracts for daily advertising
will be fairly adjusted.

This district has doubtless given a majority 1

New Advertisements.

day’s paper, all of wliicli will be more particu
larly noticed in our next issue.
The Election in Bibb.
We congratulate the democracy of Bibb, up
on the almost entire success ot their nominees
for Governor, Congress, the Senate, and House
of llvprestnla'iv. s <.f om State ].•: i latiire, nt
the election on Monday last. The handsome
majority polled for Governor Bnowx - is evi
dence of confidence in his administration, his
fideli y, ability, and patriotism. It carries
with it, too, a st. in rebnke to the "Oppo» ! -
tion,” by whose press in malty sections of tise
State he was not only vindictively, but slander
ously misrepresented am! assailed. His tri
umph over it here, as well as throughout the
State, is not only a signal one, but it covers j
bis enemies and persecutors with shame.— ■
Nev r was the result of a political contest in
our State for the office of Governor, more con- i
founding to a defeated party, than is tliat of
Momhiy last to the ingloriously defeated “Op
position 1” May they in ail the future profit
by the wholesome lesson which it lias taught!
In the contest to represent this district in
Congress, our gallant standard-bearer has fall
en, but. with his face to the foe. Had the de
mocracy of Bibb, stood by him, as they should
have done; had they as one man listened to
our appeals, ar 1 in no instance been seduced
or persn.ulcil to vote for his antagonist; Speer
would liave been elected. As it is, he is de
feated by the defection < f democrats who pre
ferred the “ Opposition" eandidsti 1 to princi
ples. Deeply do we deplore this defection.— i
Our nominee for i'oiigress was all that the dem
ocratic party ot the distrit t, could require of
a standard-bearer in the conflict. lie went
into the race with odds against him: he bat
i tied manfully ami ably for our principles; he i
reduced largely, outside of Bibb, the majority
that was against him; he was irreproachable
in public, as well as private life; but, with liis
armor on, he Las fallen. Let those who de
feated liim bear all the responsibility—the
democrats who su.-tained liim manfully from
fir.-* to last, have i o reproach to bear which
conscience is sure to inflict upon those who
wander after st-ange Gods, and depart from
the true faith ! Defeated, but not dismayed,
Speer wiil ever be found the firm, mjincliing,
able advocate ot democratic principle, .as u|> to
this period of I.is r.sei'al ami irreproachable
life, he lir.s proved himself to be ; and this,
we confidently predict will be written of him
j in all the future.
But fr. m the. expression < f < nr regrets at the
result of the C>.i.gresslonal election, we turn
■ with pr’.de and plea-ure to notice the contest
for the State Senate in this ( eunty. Tlicelcc
tien of Tuai v was a most gloiii.us tiiumph.—
Though we felt confident of l.'s suee«s~. ~
hardly dared hi pe fi r s i signal a victory. M e
justly appreciated his noble natui e, bls ability
to serve the county in the Senate, and to main
tain the intere-ts < f our city : but his la id up-
' on the r.fii < tiers <f i: : pi'pie. r.e were not
prepared fairly to < stimatc. W si e it now
that he was invincible from the cutset of the
■ canvass. His antagonist was a mi st tl rmltla
ble one. He is a gentleman of distned in-
I tiucnee in the county : an old and highly re
spectable citizen, free frc-m all reproach ; whose
many uets of geueiosiiy, kindnesp, and use
fulness. and whose daily walk in life, com
mend him t > tl.e confidem e of i ur people, as
they -liouhl to all good nnn. But even all
thc.-e claims were unavailing to success. The
popularity if Tracy; the hope and the confl
! deuce of cur people in him: overwhelmed the
i “Opposition.” Ilismnj.irity !ar cxi i eded that of
| any of the candidates—far exceeded that of Gov.
' Brown. Grateful as we know this to lie to
; Mr. Tracy’s friends, we know that it is still
I more so. to Mr. Tract himself. That he will
merit this express’ll n of public confidence;
that with zeal, and ability, and fidelity, lie
will serve the Ci onty ; we confidently predict.
A career is before him which vie doubt not, he
I will make illustrious.
Only three or four days in the field, just l e-
I fore, the election ; embarrassed by the short
i canvass; without an opportunity <f visiting
the different districts < f tl c corn ty : Mr. Look
; ett, by a handsome majority was elected. It
I was, we must confess, a forlorn hope with us,
when this sterling den cciat cor.Miitcd to run
the race. The odds were against him, but
rattier than see the party without a represen
tative in the field, lie consented to supply the
place of tlif- absent nominee, “to be made a
victim,” but with the stern resolve to win the
fight if he could. He had confidence as he
told us ill the democracy of the County, ami he
was right. Gallantly did they stand by him at
| the polls, and gallantly did he battle for success.
The result is known. Lockeit is again return
| ed to the Legislature, by an increased majority
where, ns before, lie will take care of the in
terests of the County.
Providence made another nomination neces
sary. The Sunday morning before the elec
' tion, the hand of death was laid upon Jl dge
I Powers, and his place had to be filled by an
other. Dismay, for a time prevailed. Where
were the dcmoi raey to look for a candidate ?
To whom could they appeal : “where make a
j stand : or w Lat could flien be done ?” With
out a candidate, the defeat of Lix kett was
1 certain. M itli a candidate, Lo kett could be
saved, hut with m> hope of the success of him,
! who slum! 1 come to the rescue. Who, then,
would const nt to his own willing sacrifice?—
That gallant spiiit was seen found. In the
person ol < ait. J. 11. Andrews, it appeared.
After ini ne-1 appeal-, “geiitlemen,” he siiid,

defeated by but four votes ; as it was, he was
defeated by his successful opponent only eight \
cotes, running aliead of the Opposition candi- |
date for Senator, and of one of their candi
dates for the House. The democracy of Bibb
owe to this gallant and promising gentleman,
in eternal debt of gratitude. In an hour when
all was dark, gloomy and hopeless, lie came
to tffeir aid. Into all. by his energy, undnunt- ,
••d demeanor, nnd gallant bearing, he inspired
hope and zeal for the triumph of the demo
cratic cause. We repeat it, that his defeat,
was a most glorious triumph Democrats of
Bibb, when his bugle is again sounded, rally,
to the rescue!
In justice to the democracy of Bibb, we
have prepared the foregoing sketch of the con- ,
I test in this County. If we have reflected a
little upon those democrats who abandoned
Spker, wo have yet had so much to sny in
'• praise of all who so nobly and patriotically
stood by the democratic flag, that we trust
no one will take our censure as unkindly
i meant. Let Hie future atone for the past!
Death of Judge Powers.
In referring to the death of our highly es
teemed, friend and fellow-citizen, lion. A. I’.
Powers, who died at his residence in Vine
xille, near Macon, on the 2d inst., the Albany
I’utri'd observes:
“Judge Powers has heretofore represented
the county of Bibb in the Legislature of this
State, and at the time of his death was a can- ,
didatc to represent that county in the next ses
sion. For many vours he presided as Judge
over the Macon Judicial Circuit, and enjoyed
Hie riqiutati in of an amiable Judge. He was
esteemed as an upright, lion irable num, and
as such, enjoyed the confidence at d love of all
who knew him. As a private citizen and pub
lic man, the community in whicli lie resided,
and the State ot Geoigia, lias been deprived
of a worthy and a valuable citizen. May he
rest in peace."
FOR THE STATE I-JIEsS.
Frauds.
The Journal & Messenger, in commenting
upon the election held in this county on Mon
day last, says, ‘‘frauds ot too glaring a clinrae
| ter have been perpetrated in this election i
to escape judicial investigation." Wonderful
disc.ivery ! ’A ill the editor of that paper spec
ify some of those "glaring frauds Our citi
zens know of but one fraud, and that upon the
; city itself, which if not "judicially investiga
: ted" will not be forgotten at the approaching
election for Mayer and Aidermen. The writer
rek-rs to the use by the “Opposition" and city
officials of :he city carts and mules, to convey
voters to the polls, and the neglect of duty on
the part of the city police to electioneer and
pen voters several days previous to the elec
tion. This is a fraud ot "glaiing character”
that will not soon be forgotten.

gather around you where you stand. The ut-
• terancc of God that “Le who shedeth man's
Mood by man shall his l lood b • shed” finds a
fearful and painful verification in your ease.—
Bn why dwell on a lheme so dark and -a 1-
dening ? Would that we could restore to life
the pale and «• >!d for ns of the dead ! would
that we could blot out your act from the tear
ful history of domestic afilictions with which
: i t ... .11 .1 z ...
- it is so inseparably woven I would that we
. c uld pass this cup from your lips. But the
. \ law of the land violated by you, through you
- , must have its vindication. Then while y< u
v ■ have a few days to think over the past, and re-
I ; call the incidents of your life, —let me implore
• you to turn to him in whose hands there are
- hopes of mercy for you.
Man iu his acts is limited, but God is unre !
1 strained. He can lift you fn.in this gh om, an 1
irradiate you breast w.tb the impcs of a cl
1 rious an I blissful immortaliiy. Through faith
' then seek consolation from him who suffered
' on the cross to expiate si.:, ami all tears shall
: j be wiped from your eyes. Bely m t upon the
' pet tion of friends t > any earthly tribunal for
■ i pardon, but I repeat, turn am! look io him
' ■ alone fi r forgiveness who has power to save
from an endless death, and the sun of this life
; will only set when another v. ill rise upon you
shining over the mountain of your guilt. May
’ ! it light you to a happier sphere!
■ j To die is the providence of God “f *r it is
given for all men once to die.” But why :
shrink back with dismay at the fulfilment of
this human destiny? Why appalled by gloomy
apprehensions ? it is tl.e cm 'tions of divinity
within us. The convictions of n censcience j
[laying homage to the truth of God’s fearful
declarations, that after death there is an un
ending judgement and jii-t retribution to fol
low with a e msciem.-e void of offence towards
God and towards man; death is viewed as tl.e
gate to endless joys, and in meeting it if your
heart is warmed with sincere faith, ami y ur
i sins washed away by tcaiw of repentance, iis
terrors will be dispelled, and you can exulting
ly exclaim “Oh ! death where is thy sting?—
Oh ! grave where is thy victory ?”
Then with strong resolution let the things
of earth pass away from your mind, and pre
pare lor the senteuec 1 must now pronounce.
A Bkaim ii. Sentiment.—To-morrow is

A True Buffalo Story—A Match
FOR MR. GREELEY’S. t
Lewis and Clark saw their tens of thousands, i
, and IL Greely, his over a million ; the remark ’
- was elicited from friend S. on his reading a f
letter, published in the Tribune from the gen- '
tieman last above mentioned. Thereupon I
I ventured to narrate tacts coming under my ’ 1
personal observation, all of w hich can and 1
will be fully endorsed by applying to Messrs. 11
'i Smith, Jones, Brown, Thompson, Johnson and I
1 Robinson, which six individuals and myself
were compagnons de royage at the pel iod refer- '
. red to. Our party having concluded the trans- -
actions of business or pleasure w hich had call- 1
cd them to the capital of tlie territory of the '
three staple productions, i. e., Santa Fe, were '
| on the way to the land of civilization, and 1
found themselves on a pleasant morning in 1
November, 1848, discussing the propriety ot 1
; continuing the march on that da by the reg-
ular beaten road, following up the bank of
the Arkansas river, or by making a short cut ,
• across the plain, endure a forced march of 1
some forty miles without water, and save as
much in distance.
The hitter course Laving been decided upon,
we got under weigh, or as the Canadians say,
embarked, and journeyed speed ly and agreea
bly until about 3 of the watch P. M„ when we
first observed masses of buffalo moving up on ;
our right flank from the direction of the river.
The herd advanced steadily, and by degress
completely environed us; those most marly
approaching crowding with fear upon their
neighbors, and barely leaving room for our
small cavalcade to advance ; at one time stam
peding our fattest mule, and he not in very
good travelling condition cither, and ourselves
not without much fear as to prospects of ulti- -
ma e safety, mid a somewhat undefined opin
io.. as to where we should make that night's .
c.i.ip. Before dark we were completely hem
med in on every side, light and left, afore and j
alt by a dense moving mass of black and shag- I
gy heads, sides and tails—the heads up aril
seemingly disposed to win. At this time we
were on a stretch of prairie land, level as a
board or a sheet of smooth water, the line ot
vision only bounded by the horizon. Anyone
wiio has traveled nincli on prairies knows that
a herd of anteb pes can be discerned on such
ground :it a distance of six to ten miles, with
large objects in proportion. Wishing to be
within bounds, I limit the line of vision in
each direction at two miles which will give
an urea of 125,G(>5, say in round numbers,
twelve and a half miles.
Now. my ox stable holds with ease, and
with plenty of room for lying comfortably,
eight head nf steers ill a -pace of eighteen by
twenty-three feet. 1 consider tiiat I make am
ple allow inc ■ tor c.intingencies in placing my
buffaloes to a square rod mi h-r easy feeding
circumstances and no crowding, which at
one hundred and sixty rods to the acre, and
six himdred an I forty a< res to the mile, eua
bhd our paity. compo-ed of the distinguished
individuals of elegant leisure above mention
ed, by the simple exertion of using their heels |
us a pivot and turning thereon, to behold nt
one grand comprehensive glance the net
amount of s.27i>.tK'O bend of buffalo ot' assort
ed sizes, ages, complexions mid sexes, in heavy I
marching order. It is my own individual im
pression that n round ten million would be ;
I.inch nearer the mark : but figures will not
lie. and 1 w ish to be w ithin bounds, and not

The Post-Mistress.
it v. as vn l’ic drst of A pill, several years
a_'<\ when a ’.io < ! papers were assembled
at their temple, the psK’- dfh c, of w hich Mrs.
Betsy l\ep.n l.iwtu! uuard an. '1 he af
fairs of Emik;,m\iliu the i alien v ere set
tle! together. Newspapers we *e slipped from
their covers, aial not a suspicious cpislle but
yielded a portion of its contents. But an this
night all attention wa* concentrated upon one,
. directed to "John Williams, at the Spread Ea
gle, Biml.’.imv ille.” Eagerly was it eoinpress
ep in the long fingers of Mrs. Smith; the fat
I lady of the Spread Engle was on tip toe to
peep, while the po>t-mhtress, whose curiosity
took the sembla::ee es official dignity, raised a
warning hand against any act of violence. The
paper was closely folded, mid written in a
. crumped am! ill. gibie ham!. Suddenly Mrs.
t Smith's !o k grew more intent. She had suc
ceeded in deciphering a sentence. The letter
: dropped from her baud.
"Oh, the monster!" shrieked the peppy.
, l andlady and postmistress both snatched
at the terrible scroll, am! they both tqiudly
. succeeded in reading the following words:
. ■ We will settle the matter to-morrow at
I dinner; but I am sorry you persist in poison-
! ing your wife—the horror is too great.’’
Not a syllable more could they make out;
but what they had regd was enough.
"lie told |i!p,” gasped the landlady, "that
he expected a lady and gentleman so dinner.
■ Oh, the villain ! to tliinkjof poisoning any la
dy at the Spread Eagle, and wile, too. 1
should like to see my Imsband poisoning me 1"
Our hostess became quite personal in her in
dignation.
«■*•! alwat > g sus
pieiousubout him ; people don't come and live
vv here nobody knows them f<-r mtl:i:-g,” ob
served Mis. Smith.
"I dare ay,” returned the p -t mi.trcs",
"Williams is pot Ivisregl i nine.”
• I don't know that,'’ interrupt,..! tbc laud- i
lady. “Williams is a g>. ,d banking name;!
there was Williams who murdered the Marr's I
family, un i Williams burned all those poor i
children. 1 dare say he’s some reJution of'
theirs; but to think of Ida coming to the
Spread Eagle—it's no place for his doings. I
can tell him ; but he slia'nt poison his wife
in my house. Out he goes this very night—
I'll take the letter to him myself.’’
“laird! Lord! I shall be ruined if it comes
to be kno. ii that we look into the letters;”
and the post mistress thought in her heart that •
she ha I better let .Mr. William* poison his
w ire nt his leisure. Mrs. Smith, too reproba
ted any vi-ieut m<-„s'ir ; »; Uit truth i>, she did
not wish to bt iiiixwi up tliu luatUr. It ,
seemed likely that poor Mrs. Wiliimiis would >
be left to her miserable fate.
“Murder will out,” said the landlord, the
following morning, as he mounted the pielold ,
|>ouy, which, like Tom Tough, had sn-u a deal
of serviie, and hurried off in search of Mr.
t ’ramplon, the Masretl magistrate

“He has ordered soup to-day for the first
time ; he thinks he can so easily slip poison
into the liquid. There he goes ; he looks like* f
a man who has got something on his con
science, ’ pointing to Mr. Williams who was
walking up and down at his usual slow- puce.
Twoo’clock arrived, and with it a hire ! chaise;
out of it steppe-1, sure enough, a lady and gen
tleman. Ihe landlady’s pity was redoubled— i
such a pretty young creature, not above nine
teen 1
“I sec how it is,” thought she, “the old
wretch is jealous.”
All efforts to catch her eye w--re vain—the
dinner was ready, and down they sat. The i
hostess of the Spread Eagle looked alternately
cut of the window, like Sister Ann, to see if
any one was coining, and to the table to see I
that nothing was doing. To her dismav, she
observed the young lady lifting a spoonful of
s >up to her mouth 1 She could restrain her- )
sell no longer, but catching her hand, exclaim
ed :
“Poor, dear innocent, the soup is poison
ed !’’
All started from the table in confusion, I
which was yet to be increased. A bustle was
beard in the passage ; in rushed a whole par
ty, two of whom each catching an arm of Mr.
Williams, pinioned him down to his seat.
“1 am happy, madam,” said th- bustling ma-'-
istrnte, “to have been, under Heaven, the in
strument of preserving your life from the ne
farious designs of that disgrace t > humanity.”
Mr. Crampton paused in consequence of three
wants—want es words, breath and ideas.
“My life ejaculated the astonished lady.
“Yes, madam, the ways of Providence are
inscrutable. The vain curiosity of three idle
women has been turned to good account.”
And the eloquent magistrate proceeded to
detail th? process of inspection to which the
letter had been subjected ; but when he came
to the terrible words : We will settle the mat- I
ter t i-niorn w at dinner; but I am sorrv you
persist in poisoning your wife —" be was in
terrupted by bursts of laughter from the geil
-.lenien, from Hie injured wife, and even from
the prisoner himself.
One fit of merriment was followed by anoth
er till it be -mne contagious, and the very con
stables began to laugh, too.
“I -an explain all,” at hist interrupted the
visitor. Mr. Williams came here for that quiet
so necessary for labors of genius—he is wri
ting a melodrama called ’My Wife.” Ilosiil
mitted the last act to me. and 1 rather object
. cd to the poisoning of the heroine. This young
lady is my daughter, and we are on our way
to the sea coast. Mr. Williams isculy wedded
to the Muses.”
The disconcert-d magistrate shook Lis head
and muttered something about theatres being ;
very immoral: while the liindiord first turned
pale, then s.-atlet, and then retired precipitate
ly fn.ui the room.
Whether Mrs. Peepiu still continues to pre
side ove.-ibe destinies of Bimkiimxille post
office, v. e are unable to say. One tiling, how
ever, is . crttiiu, to.it if .-he d she t itht rn >
