PRACTICAL AMALeAMATIoN.-It appears that
there has been a case of practical anna lgamation
in New York, William G.. Allen, negro, having
been married to Miss Mary E King, daughter of
Rev. Lydon King. The father of the bride was
an abolitionst, and taught that there should be no
distinction account of color. He encouraged
the visits OF Allen to his daughter, but when he
found that they were engaged he prohibited the
match, having become very unhappy. The pair
promised 10 respect his wishes, but seized the first
favorable occasion to visit the city of New York
where they married. Ii is stated that they
have sailed for England with Mrs. Stowe, and
probably expect to be received with open arms byi
the Duchess Of Sutherland and other English abo.
litonists Of distinction. There is something how
ever, repugnant to nature, and offensive to
the delicacy OF weIl-bred ladies' in such associa-
tons, that suspect Mr.. and Mrs Allen will find
themselves mistaken in their anticipated reception
in England. Even Mrs. Stowe, with all the odor
of Uncle Tom Log .Cabinism about her, will hardly
be pleased at an association with Allen. We ven
ture to say that she will cut the acquaintance of
the pair on their arrival in Eng land. By her mar
rage with negro Miss King has forever debarred
herself from respectable society in the United
States, and must be contented TO occupy a de-
graded position. But who is to blame for her
DOWNFALL? Most certainly her own father. He
instlled into her mind principles calculated to
produce her degradation, and found it too late
when he wished TO retract his error His fanat
cism has destroyed his own peace of mind and his
daughters happiness, for consider il certain
that she will repent the step which she has taken,
and bitterly regret her folly. Such are some of
the fruits of abolitionism.
We hope that this case will engage the attention
of the convention of abotionists about to assemble
in New York, that parents Who may be present
may of the results of these abolition move
ments. 1t would be far preferable TO follow a
daughter to the grave than TO such a wedding as
| that of Miss King.-Balhnore Clipper.

The fever in Galveston continued una

ending On the 29th amounted to thirty,
the same as the preceding week. The

We hear of about the usual number of
new cases daily. Some of our older resi-
dents who were supposed to be acclimated
have recently been taken sick. We may
name the Hon. r. 7. Wheeler among this
number. His numerous friends through
out the country will deeply regret to
learn that he is at this time very low,
but still hopes are entertained OF his re-
covery.
Among the victims was II. II. Smith,

The editor of the Neus learns that the
sickness in Houston was not abating.
There had been twenty-four deaths in

A LYNCHING AFFAR.-The New Or
leans Delta has letter dated Hot Springs.
Ark, Sept. 18th, giving the annexed ac-
count Of a lynching affair at that place, in
which widow lady was the principal
actor. The affair created quite sensa.
ton and afforded much amusement to the
invalid sojourners at the Springs:
' On the morning of August 90, wild
ow lady who keeps respectable board
ing house here and about whom SANDER
Gus reports had been circulated on the
previous evening, by man pretending to
be gentleman, having heard of his con-
duct, proceeded in company with her
brother and another person, to intiict on
the slandcrer personal chastisement.
The brother and his friend were arm
ed-one with a double barrel shot gun,
and the other with revolver. They, the
two men, walked up the street about one
hundred yards and met the slanderer,
who, it appears, was also armed. They
took his arms from him and marched him
down the street opposite the house where
the widow was, fully prepared to give him
a warm reception. She was armed with
a rawhide. Her brother and his friend
advised their prisoner to stand and take
quietly what the widow was about to give
him. Seeing no chance of escape, he had
to do it, though sorely against his will.
The widow commenced and did not cease
until she had administered two hundred
lashes well laid on. The man Their had
his arms given up to him, and was ad-
vised to leave the diggings, which he did.

formerly of this city, of gentlemanly adj

these were the cxccutioners, who now
waited the signal with a rude and heavy
cutlass in their hands. These enormous
weapons are about two feet long, and the
back of the blade is two inches thick; al
together it is q cumbrous instrument,
shaped like Chinese razor, with a rude
handle Of wood
A mandarin, who closed the oortegc,
then entered the enclosure. He was
ADORNED with the white ball, and held in
his hand board, inscribed with the or
der for execution. As soon as this man
appeared the frightful work began. Tho
executioner's assistants, each clothed in
long black robe, and wearing a sort of
head dress of iron wickcr-work, seized the
criminals behind, and passing their arms
under the shoulders of their victims, gave
them swinging movement, which made
them stretch out their necks. The exc
cutioncr, who was now in front, holding
his sword in both hands, threw all his
strength into the weapon. and divided the
cervical vertebra with incredible rapidity,
severing the head from the body in a sin
gle blow. The exccutioner never had TO
strike twice: for even if the flesh was not
completely cut through the weight was
sufficient to tear it, and the head rolled
on the ground. An assistantthe levelled
the victim with kick, for the corpse
would otherwise have remained in kneel-
ing position. After three or four decapi-
tations, the executioner changed his wca-
ha rIo Of hn 40
pletely turned. Tie execution of these
fifty three wretchcs only lasted some min
uteS.
When tie last head had fallen, the man
darins retired from the scene as silent as
they had come. Seeing the highest pro-
vincial officers present at the execution of
these unfortunate men, [ was struck with
the reflection that in all countries-hor-
rible to say-the political scaffold has
been elevated instead of degraded. After
the departure Of the mandarins. the ex-
ecutioner picked up all the heads and
threw them into chest brought for the
purpose. At the same time the assistant
took the chains off the victims as they Law
in pool of blood. The heads were car
ried away, but the bodies were left on the
place of execution.
\ lamentable scene then commenced.
i troop Of women, with disheveled hair,
approached the fatal spot, shrieking aloud
in wild disorder. These unhappy beings
were endeavoring TO distinguish their
fathers, their husbands, and their chill
dren, among the headless corpses. 1t
was frightful scene to see them hurry
ing about, pondering. and constantly mis-
taken amidst these headlesS remains
This search continued all day, accompa-
MED by mournful noise: funeral dirges
being mingled with cries and sobs. The
women never ceased repeating that kind
of chant common to all funeral ceremo-
nieS, and which was composed, it is said,
in the time cf Mngs. 1t is a sort Of
rythmica1 plaint. in which the same words
constantly recur. "Oh. misery. On,
despair. My happiness is gone forever!
Your kindness will no longer soften the
bitterness of life. Alone and bereayed
of all. can only weep and die over your
ashes." and so on.-Yran's China. just
