Hampshire, was their Edmund Went
worth, who gave the following as to his
wonderful matrimonial experiences:
From my second wife l was divorced
/ did not live with her; she left me, and

his having heard from her, when he mar
ried the last one.
LADIES RIDING Across THE TsTMus.--
A late letter from one of the Crescent
City's passengers, in giving an account
of the progress over the isthmus, says:
"The six ladies and six children all
had trousers en-. The ladies rode their
horses man-fashion, while the children
were carried on the backs of n atives; and
all came through in safeay. Mrs. Nc
Spadding's horse fell, but she was pre-
pared for him, and gave spring over
his head, and landed safe on terra firma.
Mrs. Norris's horse also fell down, but
she was prepared and hung on the mouth
of the saddle. AS the ladies passed
town the whole company of
Americans cheered them.
AFFECTING INcIDENT'--The case of
Mr. Archer Brackney, one of the pa3sen-
gers on boarp the steamer Wayne, at the
time of the explosion, is Of thrilling in ter
est. He was going from Lafay cite, Ia,
to Philadelphia, with the remains of his
wife and child, recently deceased Both
Of the corpscs were inclosed in one box.
When the explosion took place he suc-
ceeded in dragging his two living chill
dren from their rooms, and with them
plunge into the water. After swimming
around for short time he came in con-
tact with the box containing his wife and
child. Upon this he succeeded some
time in keeping himself and children from
drowning, although every wave would
roll his fraA support and plunge them in
the water, until at last his little boy, two
years old, was drowned in his arms. Af-
ter becoming sat!ied that his boy was
dead, he reluctantly parted with the
body, and turned his attention to the res
cue of the remaining child, who was cling
ing around his neck, crying, Papa, we
shall drown' He finally succeeded in
gaining the fl ating part Of the wreck,
with his little daughter, and both were
saved.

Another torpedo case is mentioned in
the New York papers. A gentleman
whose person had been threatened with
violence, received mysteriously aneat
looking box, which he prudently refrain
ed fIom opening, and deposited in the
hands of the police. The police poured
water upon it, as a matter of precautior
