The Ohio organ, of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, [Ohio]) 1853-1854, 1853-11-18

A Philadelphian, Mr.. H., married
to beautiful young woman, lately
set out for, Baltimore, on business.
He took with him a portrait of his
wife, whom he wished his relations
near that city to be acquainted with
at least, by sight. Having arrived at
the end of his journey, in the confu-
sion OF getting out his baggage, he
left the portrait in the car, in whichhe
had been seated. A few minutes af-
ter, a young man setting off for Phila-
delphia, took the seat lately occupied
by Mr.. H., and there found the pOr-
trait. His first idea was to make in.
quiries forthe owner, but Mrs. H., we
have said, was handsome, and the pic
ture was like her; SO the gentlemen
decided to keep it. Having arrived
at Philadelphia, he gave it a place In
sort of female gallery, surmountino
the mantlepice Of his parlor.
Three months afterward, (Mr. IT
having returned to PhiladeIpbia \
formed an acquaintance with tbiss
Identical individual. CALLING mon
him one day, he was shown into tba
parlor to await the speedy arrival Of
his host. While waiting, he examined
the various paintings on the walls and
10! and behold! he came across the
portrait of his wife hanging amid y
numerous and miscellaneous assem-.
blage! Upon the arrival Of the GEN.
tleman, Mr.. H. took occasion to ask
for history Of the divers ladies con.
stituing his gallery. The young Gent
assented with good grace, and pass.
ed them allin review. Having arriv.
ed at the last one, which was no other
than Madame H., our young hero,
with a triumphant air, exclaimed.
"This is.the pearl of my collection, as
you see. She is young Southern
lady, who has lost her heart for me
| believe she is married now" .Sir,"
exclaimed Mr.. H., Il thought YOU
were a gentleman; now pronounce.
you a blackguard."
Half an hour sfterward, ,Mr.rH.
sent q friend to our gallant. a rem
devious was arranged for next morn
ing, but on the appointed ground, our
young beau made the most abiect
apologies to Mr.. H., and was gener-
ously pardoned by him. ,a

BLEToMsM.-This is word used
to denote the Faculty Of perceivinp
and indicating subterranean springs
and currents by sensation" 1t is SO
called after a Frenchman named Bic
ton, who possessed it, Or affected to
possess it, in high degree.
The practice of resorting to this
process for the purpose of ascertainipg
where water lies, and at what places
to dig wells, is very common in this
country and in Europe.
In almost all sections, we can find
persons who claim the faculty. and
practice it extensively. aU'
Usually the person takes a forked
stick, and balancing it in its hand.
passes it over the spot where it is de.
slrable to find water. If the element
exist, one end Of the stick is said to
incline to the earth. n @aaUlg
We have in Mobile men who are
employed in this way, or who give
their services gratuitously 10 their
neighbors, and we have what we con-
slider well attested proofs Of their sue
cess. Most people, however, who
have never seen the experiment tested,
ridlcule it; and those who practice it
can give no reason for it, or tell bv
what process hidden water should i'm
press the stick which they carry in
their hands. Mobile Herald and III.

abroad to the injury Of the reputation of
our city and State, and in a manner cal
culated to work serious mischief, we feel
il our duty to unite in saying-as we do
in the most unqualified terms-that We
deem these and all similar statements, as
most grossly and pslpably erroneous and
unfounded. That they are erroneous and
untounded must be manifest to every
candid and unprejudiced citizen Of our
city, not only from the apparent condi-
tion Of things, but from that very sure
test as to the existence Of intemperance,
the records Of pauperism and crime.
