She at once became, il not actually
insane, yet so far deranged as to be
the subject of remark TO several wit
nesses unaware of any of the cir
cumstances. eo
About z O'Clock in the evening, she
left Mr.. fuckers house and went
down to the place where she had
reason to believe Drum and his wife
were staying. For two or three
hours she hung about the neighbor-
hood, waiting the appearance of the
wretch who had stolen her honor.
The neighbors remarked her extraor-
dinary behavior, and summed her,
supposing her TO be crazy. At last
Drum and his wife came out. The
night was intensely dark, and Mar
garet followed them some distance
unobseryed. She had concealed her
face, by drawing veil close over it.
Near the corner Of Plane and New
streets, her grasp fell upon the arm
of her seducer, and in another mo-
ment-long enough for the doomed
man to recognise the avenger-the
steady stroke of a knife had sent
him TO his final retribution.
The alarm was given, but the
homicide had made her escape
Reason appears TO have returned with
the fuIhlment of her revenge. The
murder was committed about 10
O'Clock, and few minutes afterward
she went to her bedroom, told the
other servants what she had done,
threw herself on bed for moment
or two, then budding some clothing
together, told them she was going TO
her brothers. in Brooklyn, and left
the house. The search for her was
unsuccessful, and it is not improbable
that the strong feeling Of sympathy
with her wrongs on the part of the
public would have prevented any
very energetic efforts to secure her
arrest. Two days alterward, how
ever, she returned TO Newark, ac-
companied by her relatives, and sur
rendered herself TO the authorities.
1t was upon the ground of insanity
that the jury acquitted her. This is
lesson to seducers which should ex-
ercise in the future some influence
upon them. and it is deeply TO be de-
plored that there is no punishment
for the crime fixed by our criminal
codes so exemplary and severe in its
nature, as will supercede the neces
sity of the injured party seeking re
dress by so violent means as wa:
done in this instance,

Real misfortune has a less depres.
sing effect upon the American char.
acter, than upon that Of any other
people in the world. We never
doubted, but We have seldom met
with so apt an exempIifeatioh Of
this fact, as that which the New
Orleans Delta furnishes, on the faith
OF a gentleman recently arrived
there from Havana. While in that
clly, at the time the Lopez prisoners
were captured, this person thought
ne would visit the Jail, with the
praiseworthy purpose Of alleviating
the distresses Of these unfortunates,
and Of conveying to them such infeP-
nation from home as they would
most likely desire to hear. Our
friend being introduced, expressed
his sincere commiseralion for the
hapleSs fate Of his countrymen, and
then, in words which were nearly
choked with grieI, asked his afflicted
friends il they wanted anything.
Yes responded one OF the pris-
oners; you would greatly oblige me
if you would let me know how the
election went on in Mcbile.' .1, -

THE GAMBLER OUTwITTED.
BY W. 2. wIGHTMAx.


The following incident was related
TO me by one whose Veracity is un-
questionable, and who was an eye
witness OF the scene.
A few years ago several young
men were journeying down the Mis-
sissippi in one of the large STEAMBOATS,
then much infested with blacklegs,
who embraced every opportunity oi
fleeing the passengers, but who oc-
casionalIy had the tables turned on
them. One OF the young men was
the son OF a rich planter, and had
just received his portion, which he
had converted into cash TO the
amount of one hundred thousand
dollars. Now this rich Young sprig
could hold hand at poker with the
best Of them, and was, withal, as
Iconsummate a dissembler as ever
leigned greenness to humbug a cock.
Iney, or dibble Peter Funk.
There were several gamblers on
board, on the lookout for a victim
and seeing these dashing young fel'
lows sporting their double Ks in
careless prolusion-and our hero
particularly-whom we shall desig'
nate as B., they Immediately
scraped up an acquaintance, and one
OF them bantered B. for a game 0
poker.
"Well," said B., 81 have otter
heard Of that demned game, but.
intend to learn it now, though
shan't bet more than five hundred a
a stroke"
The gambler smiled with anticipa
ton. and politely offered to teach B
for the slight consideration OF a V
and then to play with him Tor small
sums, "just 20 render the game inter
esting, and teach him the true scienc,
OF the thing" B. readily agreed It
his proposal, and the gambler, tip
ping the wink to his fellows, sa
down to initiate our hero into ihl
mysteries of poker, game which h
was almost an adept in long befor
he could spell his name. aaa
} = After an hours hard work, ex
J plantations, &c, on one side, AM
calculations of wonder, &C., on III
other, B. thought he had IearneI
enough Of the "demned game" toftr,
a hand or two at ten dollars ante
! and nothing less. His friends expos
I tulated with him, and assured hir
that he would be sure TO lose; but b
E didn't care if he did-and, beside
