The good merchant smiled at his wifes

but he also knew that she was in some degree
right and he therefore kept silent, while the
lady continued:

The Hungarian COuRt at the .Spy1ngs.-The
Virginia people generally are about as easily
hoaxed as any set of human beings living this
side of sunrise. We believe the solution il
found in the fact that the majority, being gen
tlemen themselves, are the last to suspect the
absence of the qualifications that 90 to make
up that character in others. We don't desire.
by any means, to insinuate that Virginians are
wanting in penetration, or that they can't tell as
quick as other people "t'other from which; :"
we believe they can. 1t is, however, a lament
able fact, that they are, like other Americans
that we wot of, given to the amiable weakness
OF paying court to " distinguished foreigners"
The ladies of the good old State have penchant
this way, truly distressing to see. Sometimes,
however, it happens that the "Sgnors and
Counts" who favor this part of the Lords
moral vineyard with visit, and get the recep-
ton conceived by some due no less to their
moral worth than their pretensions to rank,
turn out to be mere men of straw, and anything,
but the simon pure article. 1t is about one of
these selfconstituted "Count GloriauxD that
we desire to speak "on the present OCCASION
A gentleman Of this city, recently on visit to
the Montgomery White Sulphur Springs, found
on his arrival there, that the whole place was
alive with excitement in relation to a distin.
guished stranger q real Hungarian Count
then lionizing thereat. His flowing beard and
misunderstanding whiskers set off his well-de-
velopcd facial appendage to "gnat's heel"
The young ladies, of course, were all dying TO
be introduced to the aristocratic stranger while
the young gents were envious of the rapid
strides he was apparently making into the affec-
tons of some of their lady loves. This state of
things, we saw, was existing when our friend
arrived on the ground. Like all other men
who have travelled and seen much he desired
to see yet more; and so, in accordance with
wish TO that effect, he received an introduction
in due form. His establishment may be guessed,
when we tell our readers that in the person Of
the exiled Hungarian Count he recognised one
of Phalon's iourneyman BARRIERS, who often in
New York, at the st. Nicholas, had put the
finishing touch to his own whiskers. The re-
coppition was mutual. "Count Gloriaux"
found it convenient to leave next morning.

The Maine Law in New York

twill be seen by our report Of Legislative
proceedings yesterday, says the ". y. journal
Of Commerce, that the Assembly concurred in
the Senate's amendments to the Liquor Bill by
vote of 80 to 40. A motion was then made
to reconsider the vote, which motion was lost.
This completes the Legislative action on the
subject, and as Gov. Clark is known to be in
favor of the bill, he will of course sign it, if
he has not done so already, AMI it will thus
become law. In the shape in Which it has
passed the two Houses, it embodies (says the
Albany Register the general features of pro-
hibition, search of shops and seizure, fines
and punishment as laid down in the laws of
Maine, Massachusetts and Connecticut The
amendments made by the Senate and con-
CURED in by the House, are substantially the
ollowing:-Fixing the 4th of July instead of
the 18th of May, as the day for it to go into
operation. Striking out the provision giving

Allowing (instead of one in each district any

The Execution of Estramp es

Latest advices from Havana state that mar
tial law is still in force there, and that every
department of business is paralyzed, while the
people go about with most gloomy and des-
pairing faces. The execution of Estrampes
is thus narrated in letter to the N. Y. Times,
dated Havana, March 21st:
"The creole, Francisco Estrampes, who was
a citizen Of the United States, perished upon

Consul would save his life has been idle
No respect has been paid, either to the pro-
visions of the treaty or the request of Mr.
Marcy, that it should protect citizens of the
United States on trial here. The hopes which
have been destroyed by failure in just respect
TO the expressed wishes of the Government o.
the United States, are not for Estrampes -fol
whom death had no terror-but for the fu
ture ofthose that live. II is something to hav,

time, to feel almost the nearness of the dis

that look. The gathering was very large
although the weather was threatening. Es
