E7=Extract from Baltimore letter to the
N. o. Crescent:
"The late marriage Of the Emperor Of
France and the putting away Of Mrs. How
ard, as she is called, his former mistress,
has a peculiar interest here. This Mrs.
Howard is the daughter of distinguished
family in this city, but has long been con-
sidered by them as dead. When young,
she was distinguished for her beauty and
wit, as we'll as her extraordinary amorous
propeusities. She went to England and
was introduced into the highest society
there by the daughter of Maryland fami-
ly, who is now one of the brightest orna-
ments of the British nobility. There she
was married to titled gentleman, and af-
ter committing number of indiscretions,
and giving her friends an infinite degree of
trouble and anxiety, finally irretrievably
disgraced herself by clipping with a gay
young officer. After being in succession
the mistress of several noblemen, she at
tached herself to Louis Napoleon, with
whom she has remained number of years.
A real affection is said TO have existed be-
tween them, several children have been the
! fruit OF their connection. Her banishment
to England, and her rumOred abstraction Of
important secret papers from the Empe-
ror's private apartment, is the last phase in
her eventful life. After her fall, finding
her reclamation impossible her friends here
announced her dead, and even went through
the ceremony of interring her supposed re-
mains in Green Mount Cemetery; and tC
them she is to all intents morally, If no
physically dead"

A TOUCHING STORY.

"Beware of the first cross word was the
sound advice of a distinguished clergyman,
on one occasion, to newly married couple.
The fatal results of foolish indulgences of
passion have often been recorded. One of
the most singular and touching instances of
the kind has just been furnished us by
friendly correspondent. Ii we carefully as
certain the causes in which family dissen-
tions and feuds have their origin, we shall
find, nine times out of ten, that they origi-
nate in causes equally insignificant with that
mentioned in the following story.
A gentleman received one morning, when
at the breaklast-table, cup of coffee from
the hand of his wife, which contained the
oil of small piece of butter, which had &C.
cidentally fallen into the cup. Louisa"
said the husband, good humoredly, "I'll
thank you to give me cup Of coffee that is
pure and unadrlterated." Henry" re-
piled the wife, "doyau think it is poisoncd?"
"No, certainly not but I should prefer hay
ing another cup 'Indsed you shall, re-
piled Louisa 'but permit ,pe to drink that
which you complain o." "No, madam,
you shall not, replied the husband sternly,
and instantly threw the contents Of the cup
into the bosom of Louisa.
She rose hastily from the table, looked
wistfully towards Henry, and wildly gazed
on all around her. With lingering steps
she moved from the apartment, and for the
asst time looked a farewell to Henry
Scarce had two hours elapsed cefore Mrs.
A. was returned to her husband, not glow
ing in youth and beauty but q liteles corpse
The treatment she received from him she
loved crazed her, and in a moment of dis
traction she committed suicide. Mr.. A.
survived the shock few months, when he
expired, and in his last moments lisped the
name of Louisa, and prayed for her forgive
ness.

Mining Intelligence.

The Altd California furnishes the follow
ing summary of mining intelligence:
The news from the mines is encouraging
New diggings have been discovered about
five miles long from Sonora, in the neigh
borhood of Curtisville, from which $50
ounces of gold were taken by some Mexi-
cans in two days. One piece of quartz was
found which contained four pounds of gold.
Rich placer diggngs have also been discov-
cred at Jamestown, from which as high as
eighty dollars to the pan have been taken
out. A lump of quartz has been taken out
at Yankee Hill weighing 247 ounces, and
nearly all gold, valued at $4,000. This
Yankee Hill claim is said to be very rich.
The FL Dorado News states that large
quantities of gold are coming into Placer
vile. On an average about seventy thou-
sand ounces per week are purchased by the
regular dealers in gold dust.
The San Francisco Transcript says that
new placers have been discovered on the
head waters of Ana and Santa Cruz rivers
in Los Angeles county, and that small vein
of terteary coal has been found on the Sile-
mas river, Santa Barbara county.
A mine of copper had also been discov-
cred in Santa Barbara county, and specimens
from it have been brought to San Francisco
for the purpose of analization. They were
found to contain about Al per cent. of cop
per, II per cent. of silver, and or 4 per
cent. of gold.

"Then I'm off, by jingo!' says the hus-

''No you amt off, either stir one peg, if

down upon the dning-room carpet with such
an emphatic pat, pat, pdt and her long fore

him, as he rushes into the sitting-room, and
disappears.
This interesting scene took place in the
''domestic circle" of Poppleton Flipper,
about once a month. Mrs. Flipper had
been, some fifteen years previous, quite
belle in the society Of the city district in
which she lived. Well drought up" and
very proud, with the fair person, and more
than proportionately supplied with vanity
and temper, belle as she ranked, Miss Mar
garet Smythe had reached her twenty-eighth
year before she concluded on anybody else
for her to marry.
Flipper was docile and iooular Mrs.

and lved-artifcialIy while Flipper's tenn
permanent was typfed in the serenity of his
countenance, he endeavored to cultivate the
good humor Of life, and live up to old JET
fersonian principles Of human democracy.
Mrs. Flipper called Flipper treacherous
old slouCh, because he at times revolted at
her deceit, and had his say, no matter who
was there, where they were. Mrs. Flipper
never ceased her drlls; no one came-no
family commotion occured-no visits were
ever made, or visitors received. that Mrs.
F. did not beforehand plan and arrange, and
put Flippcr through the gamut Of her pro-
gramme. Mrs. Flipper had one merit, at
least, in her catalogue Of useless and often
sivc traits: she got mad suddenly, but it was
generally as suddenly done and over with.
As for Flipper, he never got mad-5lessed

Life is like the passing year;
Building hopes with spring appear;
Urging on the sultry hours,
Summer-noon brings wealth of flowers
Atumn'S afternoon is rife,

Trembling hears the vesper hymn
Ere the bell has ceased to toll
Heaven will claim another soul!
Hope and life have passed away,
Wlnter-death secures his prey.

THERE'S BEAUTY IN THE ROSE
BY RICHARD WRIGHT.


There's beauty in the blushing rose,
Glistening with morning dew,
And in the streamlet as it flows,
Sun-gilt to 'raptured view,
But there's beauty lovelier still
Than fragrant rose or summer rill.
IT'S in the cheek of health where blooms
The varying crimson dye;
'Tis in the smile that love illumcs,
'Tis'in the sparkling eye;
IT'S in the soul of bouyant youth
Of hightoned constancy and truth.
And loveier than fair woman's form,
Symmetric as may be
The hearts affection, strong and warm,
Formed for eternity;
The clinging clasp in veal or woe,
That even in death will scarce let 20.
This, woman's matchless beauty! stands
Pre-eminent on earth;
And frozen climes and burning sands
Each witness TO her worth.
Time cannot change, effect control
The beauty of the heart and soul.

technicality Of the law, through which
so many vile murderers have escaped,
