Dr part for Texas and Hava an Enraged Wife Upon Their Track—What Docs It All Mean ? FickelHess, thy name is James Kelly. At 152 Whitehall street is one of the most fashion able boarding houses in the city. In fact, it is doubtful if there is more than one other that equals it in point of elegance. The house is a four story structure with all modern conveniences, and Is kept in tony style. When the house passed into the hands of the present proprietress there were among the boarders that she found in the house a happy family of three. The man was James Kelly, who was en gaged as the agent of McDonald & Co. on Alabama street, for the sale of "choice literature" in the states of Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee. Kelly was a handsome fellow, who dressed in the height of fashion, wore a beaver, and was as stylish a man as one would encounter in a day's Journey, The lady was presented as his wife, and the third member of the party, a little girl, called him "papa." It seemed to be a very happy family, ami they put on a good d*al of style around the estab lishment. The lady was striklugly handsome, the was of queenly proportions and elegant carriage; in fact, as a prominent lawyer said, "By her step she showed the true goddess." She had violet eyes, large aud bewitching. Her manners were the acmu oi refinement nud culture, and it is no wondei that she held the rollicking Irishman captive. Time passed as it usually daps under such cir cumstances, and a few wetkc ago it came to pass that the mistress of the house decided that sho did not longer desire the trio as her guests, and with a womaiia tact at getting rid of disagreeable guests, ell ft M I L/lH .tl.lf li tkild Pll ..tla* (.IfkUlk.* kll, 4. she raised their board. Kelly kicked, but it was no use, aud he pulled up stakes and sought a new place of abode. About a mouth ego another trouble overtook Kelly. It seemed that for some reason he decided that he had not been treated in the best of ways by the meu with whom he wan en gaged in buslutM. He said that they were sending —= rr- T/Vt . o her men into his territory which was a violation i at, 9 n °£. the 3 u<, ? e * p ? 1Ic , lt ? r iher iil’, cer ^ of the contract, and with that he brought a suit to ! an< ? ordinary **ud a physician that he was dying of recover damages for what heconstdeied a breach of ftn u , Vu UI S bl ° c 2 ,, i ll i Uraption ‘ charges made by Commodore Mayo and Commodore McGIenaey, while on duty at the Norfolk navy yard. He regards the case aa a mere petty quarrel fie a „ tents. 'J he secretary says that McGlensey has al ready suffered punishment enough in being de tached and otherwise humiliated, and that no fur- ther action will be taken in the case. The chargo of tyrannical conduct preferred against Mayo by Mculesney whs not sustained, as his aetion in call ing the marine guards to his nssistauce In Inforclug the d» mand for the letter in question whs justified under the circumstances. The secretary said, now- ever, that heielt that he must make notice notice of Mayo’s conduct in hav lug made unsubstantiated charges against McGfensey with regard to the contents of the letter which was the origin of the difficulty.

New Haven, Conn., September 21.—A half-dozen doctors were summoned. from New Haven in great haste to tho 8tate prison at Wethersfield to wait on the poisoned convicts. Over one hundred convicts were suffering the severest agonies, and the lives of more than a dozen are still believed to be en dangered. The first Intimation of the matter wss the complaint of oue of the convicts to nls overseer that ho was dizzy and exceedingly sick at his stomach. The overseer thought the man was seek* (ng to shirk his duty, and with a reprimand ordered him to resume his place at the bench where ho and his companions were employed. Endeavoring to obey orders the man started to walk across the room. Suddeuly he staggered, threw up his arms, and with a piteous shriek fell upon tho floor vomiting violently, and by npirous twi'cblngs showed that ho was suffering in-' tensely from an attack of the cramps. He was taken to his cell unable to speak and believed to be dying. Dr. Warner, tho prison physician, was sum moned to caro for the man. but he had hardly re ceived the message when demands for hfs sendees came pouring in from a dozen directions. Mpro convicts in the umo workshop had been attacked, in a p eelrely similar way, and wero lying at differ last agonies of death.' TUB AIR OF PANDEMONIUM.

Mr. Carroll, the Mllor, also agreed to go on the bond and it was at last made up. But it happened that after the bond was made up it was decided by the powers that were that It was not suf ficient and It was rejected and the attachment was dUmlssed. Thus ended the first chapter, for about that time the trio took up their march for the wild west with the intention of stopping in the city of Galveston, and It is said that tntsy are now there. Now comes tho second cnaoter of the story. Kelly and the lady had been gone for some three or four weeks. They wero well nigh out of the mind of the people with whom they had come lu contact while here. A day or two ago—not to be too accurate—there was a ring at the door of tho fashionable boarding house that figured in tho early chapter of this story. The proprietren went to the door and was met by a lady at tired In silks aud presenting a stylish appearanco much ou the order of that which marked the Mrs. Kelly, of whom mention has been made. "Does Mr. Kelly board here?" wnsaskedby tho stranger lu tones somewhat tremulous. "He does not now," was the response. "Did he ever board here?" "Yes, he boarded here with his wife." "Don’t say his wife!" said the stranger excitedly. "Iom his wife; where is he?" The lady gavo the stiauger the direction as best she could aud tho mysterious lady disappeared, she failed to find ino truant husband aud in a short time was lu a lawyer’s office for consultation.

The Rich maud Whig state* that the Hou. John 8.

The Whig further asserts that Richmond has raised her ^uota, and that the amount s—eased against Dau- ville and Lynchburg are iu process of collection If tbe Whig is come. tu iu figures, It only proves that Chairman Barbour aud the people of the cities named are determined that every legitimate means •hall be employed to rid the state of the foul em brace of Mahonism Aggressive political campaigns cannot be run without money, and the democrats have no federal or state officials upon whom to fix a heavy erne* intent, but the property-holders of the atate generally are democrats, and it is probable they are liberally responding u> Mr Barbours calls. In view of the important Interests involved In the selection of the next legislature, it is very natural they should do so. THE NORFOLK NAVY YARD QUAEEKL.

Wasuinoton, September 25.—Tbe warde- mrtrnenl people are a good deal disturbed by Jordenskjold’s dispatch, giving a report of the death of Qreely. The story which lie got from the natives is in some respects (lie same as thnt given in the log of the Yantic, and puhlisded some time since. But it diners iu tbst it states that the i tarty was on its way to Liuieton Island. This shows that while it may have been from the same party originally, it was told at an other time. This additional statement that the party was on route to Littleton Island, gives a greater color of probability to it titan to the former stories, ono of which wits tbat tho commander of tho expedition had been killed by his men. Tlie name—Ksaleyh given by tbe natives as that of tbe dead oillcer, is commented upon here os more like the name of one of the un der officer!', KMingbeny, than tbat of Gree ly or l*avy, as had been suggested.

Stephens, of this city, yesterday morning, with one of tho greatest cariosities we have over seen In be way of petrifaction. It is, or bss been, a terrapin or tattle of some kind. It is in a perfect slate of petrification, being os hard and almost aa white os a piece of solid marble. It weighs about a pound, mid on the outside all the marks of a terrapin shell are plainly to lie seen. There on the back of this stony formation lathe imprint of a star fish, which la also as plainly mark ed as the terrapin is. Taken al together it Is one of the rarest and most per fect specimens ofanfmrl petrification that we have ever seen. It was found about fifty feet under ground when Captain Stephens waa having a large well dug at hia mill near the river in this city. rie Was Ids Hurry. From tha Dublin Post. A negro, who works on Major Bryant's plantation, near Laurens bill. Inspired by the devil and a gallon or two of corn juice, at tempted to drive one of tbe major's best horses from tbe plantation to Dublin, a dis tance of nine miles, in about os many min utes, last Haturday. Major Bryant happened to be in Dublin when tbe electrified son of Ham came ' dashing along with a whoop and a gleam of victory in his eye. and noticing that the horse was covered with foam and about ready to drop down front exhaustion,called a halt and ordered tbe negro to dismount. Tbe first request wss obeyed, but not until tbe major’s cane came in conlact with the negro’s phrenological bump of pure ensaednesa and caressingly fondled with other external parts of bis generally vil- lianous anatomy did ha throw aside the rib bons and create a vacuum in tbe buggy. The horse was frightfully abused, and tbe driver richly merited severe punishment. Telling Too Much, From Ihe Montezuma Recorder.

Cotton buyer No. 1 had made frequent visits to tbe office for the purpose of sending mewages, and on account of hia gentlemanly deportment had won a very kind feeling front the yoong lady operator. Tbe next buyer waa cotton buyer No. 2, and being well acquainted with tbe lady, she asked him if he knew cotton buyer No. 1. “Ob, yes,” said he; “in fact, I live neighbor to him in tbe city, and am well acquainted with hla wife and children.” Tbe yuung lady gained just a little more information than sbe de sired, consequently her countenance dropped and abe bad no more questions to oak.
