Net dwe add that the gallant, bridegroom promptly agreed to the arrangement, and “they twain ! became one flesh.” The scene now changes to the hotel. It is night, and married folks had generally retired to rest. The bride had also sought her chamber, I “to sleep—perchance to dream.” Tim bridegroom approached and tapped si ig tl von the chamber door—-so slight ly, indeed, as almost to warrant the supposition that it was a “spirit rap ping.” All softly and gently the bride op'tied the door and asked her dear | husband what he wanted. “Only to go to bed, iny love,” was ! the husband's reply “And have you already forgotten ! that all of a husband’s privileges were not to be granted to you until after the expiration of a certain period?' asked the blushing bride. “Aye, but the priviliges reserved were legal priviliges,” was the answer. “No indeed!” said the bride, as she j kissed the rosy tips of her fingers with her rosy lips, bad: lion good night in the mo t musical of voices, and shut tlie door.

We understand thaf, unlike other authors, tin* great showman has been chiefly embarrassed by the mul tiplicity of publishers who have OIF red to issue his Autobiography : In Havana, the house occupied by Jenny Lind and those vvl ' accompani ed her from Europe, as well as m\ daughter and myself, was pleasantly situated near the Tacon r l heat re, just, outside the Walls. Signor Vivalia the little Italian juggler And plate-dancer who, in forim r days, ha<t perforuied under my auspices, ctilled on tnc lre j quentlv. He was m great distress, ; having lOstt.he use of one liis limbs on j the loft side of his body from paralysis', i He was thus unable to earn a Itveli- I hood, although he still kept a pet'fbrrn ; ingdog, which turned a spiv.ning-wlieci ; and porlbnned sotric curious tricks. — j One day, as I was passing him out of I the front gate, Miss Lind inquired of Jme who lie was. I briefly recounted to her his history. She expressed deep interest in his case, and said some thing should life flit apart for him in the “ benefit’' which she was about to give for charity. Accordingly when the benefit came off, Miss Lind appro priated SSOO to him ; and I made the necessary arrangements to have him re turn to his friends in Italy. At the same benefits4,ooo was distributed be tween two humane hospitals and a con vent. A couple of mornings after the benefit our bell was rung, and the ser vant announced that L was wanted. I went to the door and found a large procession of children, neatly dressed and bearing banners, attended by ten or twelve priests, dressed in their rich and flowing robes. I inquired their business and was informed that they had come to see Miss Laid and thank her in person for her benevolence. I took their message and informed Miss Lind that the leading prieits of the convent had come in great state to see and thank her. “. 1 will not see them,” she replied ;“ they have nothing to thank me lor. HT have done good it is no more than mv duty, and it is my pleasure. I do not deserve their thanks. I will not see t cm.” I re turned her answer, and the leaders of the grand procession turned away in disappointment. The same day Vivalia called aid brought her a basket of the most, lus cious fruit that he could procure. — j The little fllmv tv as very happy and exticiiielv grateful.

Oh, die is .1 Very good hulv, ’ said poor V ivalla, i overcome by his feelings. II 1 begged me to thank her for him, and give ner i the fruit. As he was passing out of j the door he hesitated a moment, and then said : “Mr. Barnum, I should like so much to have the good lady s- < 111 v dog turn a wheel; it is very nice, he an spin verv good. Shall 1 bri; g the dog and wheel for her?

When Jenny came in I gave her the fruit, and laughingly told her that Vivalia wished to show ln r how his performing dog could turn a spinning wheel, “ Poor man, poor man, do let him come, it is all the good creature can do for me,” exclaimed Jennv and the tears flowed thick and fast down her cheeks. “I like that, 1 like that,” the con tinued, “do let the poor ere dure come and bring his dog. It will make him so liappv.” I confess it made me hap pv. and 1 exclaimed for my heart was lull, “God blessyou, it will make him cry for joy; he shall come to-morrow.” I saw V ivaiia the same evening, and delighted him with the intelligence that Jenny would see his dog perform the next day, at four o’clock precisely. '“I will be punctual,” said Vivalia, in a voice trembling with emotion, “but I was sure she would like to see my aog perform.” For full half an hour before the time appointed did Jenny Lind sit in her v indow on the second floor, and watch for Vivalia and his dog. A few minutes befc re the appointed hour she saw him coming. “ Ah, here he comes,” she exclaimed in delight, as she ran down stairs and opened thedoor to admit him. A negro boy was bring ing the small spinning wheel, while Vivalia led the dog, and handing the bov a silver coin, she motioned him away and taking the wheel in her arms she said, “ This is a very kind of you, to come with your dog ; follow me, 1 will carry tlie wheel up stairs;” her serve at offered to take the wheel, but no, she would let no one carry it but herself; she called us all up to the parlor, and for one full hour she did devote her self to the happy Italian. She went down on her knees to pet the dog and to ask Vivalia all sorts of questions about his performances, his former course of life, his friends in Italy and his present hopes and determinations. Then she sang and played for him, gave him some refreshments and final ly insisted on carrying his wheel to the door, from whence her servant accom panied Vivalia to his boarding house. Poor Vivalia! He was probably never so happy before, but his enjoy ment did not exceed that of Miss Lind. That scene alone would have paid me for all rny labors and -ring the whole musical campaign.

Os this we have been informed by an eye-witness, and in whose credi bility we place the utmost confidence. [ Tipperary Free Press. “ The ‘Liberal Press’ of Madrid re cently celebrated the triumph of their principles bv a banquet, to which they invited Mr. Soule. He excused him self from attending on tin* score of health, but s(>nt a letter, in which he not only makes himself a hot partisan with them, but denounces the opposite party in terms little short of abusive.— Thus, in the midst of a bitter struggle between factions, in which everything is in turmoil and jeopardy, the Ameri can Minister, to whose hands have been entrusted the most delicate and important,questions, and whose course should have been one of conciliation and moderation towards all, has acted in this imprudent unbecoming man ner. Is it the business, we would ask, of a foreign representative to take sides in the domestic revolutions which distract the Government to which lie is accredited? Is it c insistent with his position and duties to permit his ideas of liberty so to control his conduct as to betray him into a step which makes him odious to one-half of the people and involves his own country in the consequences of his hasty zeal ? Such a course is as contrary to all the maxims of diplomatic prudence as it is opposed to the whole current of Amer ican foreign policy. If we compre hend that system, it is one of strict non-intervention in European affairs. And surely thus far the country has seen no cause to regret or change'it.— j The democratic! eff >rts in Europe have all signally failed, and as much, too, from their own inherent incapacity anil rottenness as from the formidable j with which they have had to contend We do not regard the revolution in Spain as by any means successfully achieved. Mr. Soule’s conduct theH rore, so tar .is we can judge, haS not the argument which success holds out to justify it. His advent in Spain was fore shadowed by circumstances favorable neither to himself nor his ministerial duties. Ills Speech before the Cuban Junto in New York on the eve of his departure, prejudiced him in the minds of the Spanish Court and embarrassed him in his simplest official acts. T his last st p only complicates the more his relations with that unfortunate coun try. v — Ch. Mercury. | A serious and most alarming acci dent happened on the 19th to a pas si ngcr train conveying from two to three hundred passengers, on the Leeds Northern Railway, while it was passing through the Bramhope tunnel, consisting of thirteen carriages. The tunnel is about two miles in length, and when the train was about half way through, the arch suddenly fell in, with agreat mass of superincumbent earth, severing the train in two and crushing ! the two foremost of the carriages.— I 'fhe engine passed through, the carriag ! es, with the exception of those that were covered by the false arch, ran back, the line being on an ascend ing grade, until they cam in contact with a truck of Irish reapers.

But to the point: Says our c-otein porary, “The Independent /V.« asks with anoraiYetliat is astonishing, ‘why was not the constitution equally as ex plicit as to the power of the State to vt i to, as to that of the sident to veto ?’ ’’ land makes us guilty of the absurdity of I intimating that the States derive their rights from the Federal Government— j a thing we do not, and would not be lieve, under penalty of bciieveing as I absurd things as appear clustered around our cotemporary’s idea.
