nerves of the young milliner greater
shock than the news Of the sudden and
violent death of Mr.. Ingleton. She
could not see the necessity of his deep
chagrin and modification.
She knew not the ulterior influence
by which he had been moved.
Without ceremony, yet without fear,
and only moved by the most genuine
sympathy, she hurried to the residence
of Mr.. Ingleton, and assured both the
mother and the daughter of her friend
ship; and begged them to add nothing
to their deep grief, by thoughts of her
taking advantage of their unprotected
situation.
We will not pause moment at this
painful point. We will 90 on and con-
clude our narrative.
In time the place was sold.
Mrs. Ingleton could not live there,
haunted as it now was by SO many sad
and fearful reccollections.
Neither was the young milliner who
had come into possession of what was
rightfully hers, and long had been, by
such unhappy results, disposed to re-
main near the spot.
When, however the place was finally
disposed of, she set aside half the pro-
ceeds for the benefit of those who only
short time before were eager in her de-
traction, reserving enough to make her
self comfortable during life.
The young man-Mr. Edward Wiki
inson-heard all this with profound as
tonishment.
Yet whatever regret he might have
felt for the situation in which Mr.. Ingle-
ton had forced his family, was not un-
mixed with strong and secret delight
at finding that the character of the
amiable young milliner had shown itself
to so striking an advantage.
Already had he become sensible of
her charming qualities, both of person
and character. He now resolved to
carry into action design he had long
kept concealed in bis own heart.
we may tell the patent reader what
that design was, in few words. Miss
Amelia Johnston, once the poor, friend
ess milliner of the retired village of
Broadbrook, soon became the wife of
Edward Wilkinson-the beautiful, &C.
,ompl shed, and much sought after lady
N the refined circles of wealthy city.
Verify there are many ups and downs
in this world Of change, and no one can
tell what may be his position tomorrow
from knowing what it is to-day.
Ingletons graciously received the por-
ton of the property generously allowed
them by the young millner, and speedily
removed far away from the memory and
mention of their former life and their
final catastrophe in Broadbrook.

A New village.

We have heard that number of gentlemen of
this city and the vicinity of Bladensburg purpose
establishing a village near the Depot, about five
miles from Washington, on the Baltimore rail
road. The situation is elevated healthy, and
highly attractive, and presents fine inducements
to all persons whose convenience and inclinations
would induce them to take up their abode at this
place. 1t is with pleasure, therefore, that we
witness the effort now making to induce the
Railroad Company to accommodate its terms to
the new wants thus developing. We refer our
readers to the memorial, in another column, on
this subject.
The neighborhood selected abounds with min
,ral waters of various kinds, and possesses many
other attractions to those who would devote a
portion of every summer to the enjoyments and
renovating influences of rural retreat.
We learn that an engineer of approved ability
and taste will be employed to lay off the site for
this new village, and that every means will be
used to render it alike convenient, comfortable,
and attractive in all particulars.

The Arrest.

Captain Jonas P. Levy is the person whose
arrest at New York, on Saturday evening, (by
officer Cox, of this city, we learn,) has given
rise to so many rumors. Captain L. is very well
known here. He has n claim upon the United
States government-whether good or bad we do
not know; but in urging it upon the attention
Of Congress in brief memorial he brings strong
charges against the late Board on Mexican
Claims. He has been indicted by our Grand Jury
on the charge of holding unlawful communion
ton with Arista, President of the republic of
Mexico, to prevent, on the part Of that govern
ment, the ratification of treaty between the
United States and Mexico for the right of way
across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The offence
is punishable by fine and imprisonment. He was
held in custody mot in PRISON. until this morn
ing when he was bailed in the sum of $4,000,

A Case with n Parallel.

The New York "Sun" says: eff our govern
ment were asked to demonstrate with England
on the absurdity of her State Church system, the
injustice and tyranny of the land tenure system
in Ireland, the numerous evictions of the land
lords and the shameless Partially of her legisla-
ton, which excludes nine-tenths of the people
from any voice in the making of the laws by
which they are governed, then that would be
asking our government to interfere in matters
with which it has no concern and for our gov.
eminent to do so would be opening the door fol
England to demonstrate against evils and abuses
in our republic"
The moral derivable from this is, that our gov
eminent had better look to its own affairs

The City Coupcils-sman Notes-Free
Banking.

At the regular session last evening, resolution
was passed instructing the committee appointed
to represent the city interests before Congress to
urge upon our National Legislature some more
stringent law for the suppression of small notes
rs currency, particularly of such as are redeem
able in deprecated bank paper; also to ask the
passage of a general free banking law for the
District.
Both are important, and it is hoped this session
of Congress will not terminate without the adop.
ton of these measures.
in New York and other States wher2 the sys-
tenn of free banking has been fully tried, it has
been found to work admirably. 1t opens the door
wide for competition and the result is found to
be, that the public interests are abundantly
guarded, and the community has just as much
banking as can be required and no more.
Under its provisions any individual or associa-
ton of individuals may embark in the business,
on depositing with a public officer the required
security, which security is held for the redemp-
ton of all notes of circulation and for other guar
anty against irregular or vicious banking. The
plates for the issues are held by the designated
public officer, and all circulating notes are coun-
tersigned by him, dollar for dollar, correspond
ing with the security on hand, so that it is not
possible to throw out upon the public single
bank note for which there is not with the officer
of the treasury ample means of redemption. The
law also invests the said officer with the right
and duty of supervision, and, for specifcal cause
shown, of summarily closing insolvent or crimi-
nal banking establishments.
For the convenience of business, well-regulated
banks are unquestonably quite necessary; and
we strongly desire that Congress would give us
the trial of a general free banking law.

Neg The excitement of sports and pleasur,

Nsag The excitement OF sports and pleasure Is
as imperatively demanded by a healthy, youthful
mind, as is regretful reflection by the aged. To
control and direct, not to suppress and extin-
guish, the love of this excitement is the task OF
wisdom. But many who fancy that they are
good and wise, contemn and put to silence every
glad emotion in the ardent bosoms of their chill
dren, and thus Danish them from their presence
and fol-. what? To weep over the indecorous ex-
travagance, the unrestrained guilt, to which they
thus expose them. There is no better companion
for child than his own parent and he whose
heart responds not to the frank simplicity Of
childhood, has unworthily assumed the relation
he sustains.

Value OF Life.


1t is remarked in the interesting pamphlet of
DR.. Buckler, on the sanitory condition of Balti-
more, that calculations made in England and
Belgium, and other tables relating to vital sta
tistics, show, that the average life Of in the
temperate regions Is between thirty-two and
thirty-three years, and that owing to improve
ments in the modes of living clothing, and other
causes, the duration, and, of course the value of
life is on the increasing scale. The american
Journal of the Medical Sciences" for July, 1848,
contains an interesting article, by DIR. Emerson,
on the mortality of Philadelphia; and DIR. Griscom
has furnished statistics relating to the mortality
of New York, for 1912. For this city, there are
tables in the report of DIR. Wynne, to the Ameri-
can Medical Association, on the sanitory con-
dtion of Baltimore, and DIR. Joynes's statistics of
the mortality Of this city, from 1886 to 1849,
inclusive. 1t would appear that the value Of
life in each of these cities is considerably below
the average standard and by comparing the evil
dence which has been furnished, conclusions
might be drawn favorable to the salubrity Of Bal
timore. If, however, allowance be made for the
deaths which take place amongst the large foreign
population Of the two more northern Cities the
average duration of life, says DR.. Bucker for the
residents Of the three places, will then be found
in favor of New York and Philadelphia, and
| against Baltimore. The lower average of life in
this city is owing mainly to the heavy mortality
which takes place chiefly amongst the poorer
classes, under five years Of age, after which pc.
Rod the duration of life compares fayorably with
| the more northern cities.

try, with every advantage over New York and
Philadelphia as to climate, locality, and facility

ed, and more comfortably lodged than the resi-.
dents Of any other place containing so large o
number Of inhabitants, ought to be, for all ages,
classes, and conditions of people, the heathiest
city in the world. And why is it otherwise ?
Probably because of some radical fault in the
health department. DIR. Joynes says, that owing to
the mode in which the tables Of mortality are kept
he found it impossible to exhibit the vital statis-
tics of Baltimore in so satisfactory a manner MS
has been done for other cities. The Board Of
Health, together with the rest of the profession,
will cheerfully bear testimony that the present
system is defective. 1t is to be hoped, therefore,
| that for the future some other and better mode
ofregistration will be adopted.
