A very dark and some,rhat mysterious At
fair, occurred late night before last, among .
tribe of very colored folks. who are located
in the rear of barber shop, corner Of Syca-
more and First streets. One coloTed gen.
tleman, on returning to his happy home, dis
covered that another gentleman Of the same
distinguishing trait Of shade and shadow, had
by some most singular mistake, very easily
accounted for a. the moon had gone down,
and there was no light in the house, got into
the wrong bed. Now this would not have
been any real cause of GOODNESS between
these epitomized thunder clouds, only for one
unfortunate fact-the first gentleman's wife
happened to be in the identical bed into
which ths other had accidentally crePt, ow-
ing to the general darkness by which ne was
surrounded. But the first gentleman was
cool. He didn't pitch into the snoring cou'
pie, but rolling up his eyes sagaciousiy, went
after witness. He soon brought back On
old sable gentleman, and the fact was album
dainty proved that smutty No. 2, had been
guilty Of some most unaccountable mistake
an error of ewes or morals, in his selection oil
bed.
"Dar now-what tell you. See dem
niggers! Oar dey is. +"
"Sse 'em !-guess does-and no niger Z!

The couple were aroused in a most sum
mary manner. For time, juvenile lorna
do seemed to have got pent up in that room
There were grunts and squeais and curses
and crashes, and the fitting around of darl
objects with wounded shins, and the gather
ing of sable forces from neighboring rooms
and Gnally general rush to the street, whicl
all appeared to regard as neutral ground
Here the noise and confusion was great
but the destruction Of personal property il
the way of white eyes and fiat noses small
The only gentleman injured physically, wa
the very individual who received the terrible
mental and moral blow on making the origi
nal discovery. His own faithless wife hat
cut n severe cash with knife on his fore
head, which alarmed him terribly, but did no
much other harm. We understan nd there
was yesterday slight GOODNESS between Thu
happy couple, and also between gentlemen
No. and 2, but Time, which heals al
wounds, will doubtless pour Its precious balm
on the lacerated hearts and bodies of this trit
of smutties.

Of our farmer friends especially, to Mr.. Births
wool carding advertisement. His establish
ment on High street, Lamasco, is well
known. but he has been adding improve
ments to it, and is now fully prepared to ac-
commodate all orders promptly. Farmers
will not experience that long delay in
waiting for their wool, which has heretofore
troubled them so much. There is q great
deal of wool raised in this region, and we
are glad the facilities for carding it have
have been increased. Mr.. Birth will proba.
bly, by next fall have spinning machines. and
thus be still better prepared to accommodate
neighboripg farmers.

Geo. d. Prentice, ESQ.
Dear Sir:-When met you last promis-
ed to write you occasionally and give you a
synopsis of the passing events incident TO
my new occupation as snag boat captain
feel that owe you IN apology for not do
ing so ere this, and the only one that now
think Of offering is, that snag boat requires
all the time and attention Of the comma an :
der, and. being somewhat isolated in its char.
acter, is nearly cut of from the rest of the
world.
/ am now with my command on the Mis-
souri, river, ard have been since the 23d of
last month. This being my first advent on
it, Of course every place is new to me, and
more interesting from that fact than if were
an old pioneer on these waters. l find
the river in much need of public attic ntion,
and often wonder at the few losses of life
and property, considering the immense emf
grafton that is constantly going on westward.
The distractions transplanted into the
channel are innumerable. IL there could be
resolution passed requiring our Congress-
men to ascend and descend this river before
the day Of adjournment, they would, beyond
doubt, favor an appropriation at once without
taking time to make bunkum speeches rela.
tive to the constitutionality OF making ap-
preparations for fresh water improveme nts

appropriations for the several rivers being
nearly used up, the boats will cease opera.

action Of Congress. 1t is to be hoped that
our national representatives will not be so
short-sighted as to fail to give US a large ad.
ditional amount, in order to fully prosecute
work that has SO long and unjustly been
neglected after expending two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars in building snag and
dredse boats, and they comparatively new.
Should these boats lie up for time, as they
suffered the old ones to do, it would undoubt-
edly be great waste of the public domain.
Therefore, as your paper has ar extended
circulation, hope you will keep this subject
before the people, and they will hold their
representatives responsible for their disobe-
dence to the public will. am, very re-
sPectfully, your obedent servant,

respondent OF the New Orleans Bulletin,
writing from Mexico, thus speaks of the pres
ent Ruler of Mexico:
"Santa Annals character is strangely mis-.
conceived abroad. shall, one of these
days, write you his history, so that it may
not be said that stupidity and political faulty
have usurped the name of energy. 1t is
time that the world should know that the
great Nebuchadnezzar is q brute beast, and
has been such for many more that seven
years."

winters Chemical Dioramas, &c.


Probably the finest exhibition ever offered
to the patronage of our citizens, will be Win.
tsr's Chemical Dioramas, Fading Crystal
Inc Views, and Chromatrope Views, to be
displayed next Monday night at Apollo Hall.
There is no resemblance between these do
ramas and views, and the ordinary panora-
mas. Mr.. Winter has been exhibiting these
dioramas a great many years, and in the
largest cities in the country. He has just
returned from South America, where he has
exhibited at the principal cities. We can
not describe to our readers what this exhibit
ton really is. Indeed, DIR. w. offers $1,000
to any one who can. But we know from
the wide spread reputation of this exhibition,
and from the real compliments paid it by the
best papers in the country, it must be sur
passingly beautiful and singular. We hope
Apollo He'll will be crowded Monday night
