IIGcrKY. -Several years ago most estimable
young man of our city, who had just become of
age, took under his protection young girl whose
parents were not able, or would not, support her,
and brought her up TO womanhood after which
he sought her hand In honorable marriage, and was
accepted His bride was brought up in the Cath
ole Church, but after being under his charge
short time, became convert to the Protestant
faith.
The brides mother, who Is now also wholly de-
pendent upon her Protestant son-in-law for sup.
port, The having received her into his own house.
where she Is lavshly provided for denounces her
child for marrying Protestant, and does not re-
cognise her as @daughter---or respect her as
mother-becAdse, forsooth she married out of the
Church, oywhat is worse, lin her opinion,) is not
married. 1t all
FLUTES" thinks that If he had mother-in-law
n the kind, that he should engage special train
10 convey her to some very healthy locality, where
Light food is specially recommended.
GUS handbils, printed In the German language, may
have been seen distributed throughout our city,
announcing certain pic MICS, parties, &c., which
have been largely attended by the foreign portion
of our population; and indeed many Of our own
people have participated in these gatherings made
exhilarating by copious draughts of lager beer and
line music. We have learned from good authority
that tho proceeds Of these exhibitions goes to- and
Is for the benefit Of certain foreigners now await
ing their trial in Columbus, Ohio, for the murder
Of American citizens. We had one of the room
programmes translated for especial benefit,
and came into possession thereby Of the facts now
stated But our opponents see no danger in for
eign associations None in the least, although
every effort il being made to defeat the ends of
justice In this, as well in other similar cases,
wherever their friends render themselves amenable
to the laws of the land.
FUN AHEAD Carr. QUANrIco This saga
cous detective, whose peculiar avocation is to pro-
tect the Capitol and grounds from the depredations
of thieves and marauders--announces in his last
letter to the Virginia Sentinel that Col. Orr, of
South Carolina, is to be the administration cand-
date for the Spcakership, and that Southern Know
Nothings will vote for him. Doubtless this an
nouncement is made with the approval of the Pres
ident and Col. Forney. What an elevated position
for policeman to occupy--the first to announce
the wishes Of the administration in regard to the
Speaker--and with what characteristic constabu-
ton He even counts upon Southern Know-Noth-
ing votes Has it come to this-Captain Quantico
soliciting KNOWN othing votes? We think the Cap
tain makes better Waterman than politician,
and would advise him to adhere rigidly to the du-
ties and labors for which he is 30 eminently fitted
- that Of a" detective"
Row AMONG THE ITALIAN ''CoNsrITuTIoNALs"
Peter Scarrie, Jno. Weaken, Lewis jerome, J. F.
Rouse, and Mr.. Jocko, a rng-tailed monkey, were
brought'up this morning before Justice Holdings
head of the Third Ward police, charged with fight
ing and disorderly conduct. A rich scene ensued;
each one wished to tell his own tale, and in his
own peculiar tongue, Mr.. Jocko having quite as
much to say as any one else concerned
IL seems that one or more of the parties are
organ grinders, and street performers, Mr.. Jocko
doing the low comedy, he being engaged expressly
for that line Of business.
The others are stucco artists, and considering
themselves socially rather above the musical pro-
fessors on the organ, an insult offered, which
ended in fight, which brought the parties up I" all
standing before the squire. Having sent for an
Interpreter, the justice heard all the parties and
their witnesses in the case and bound them over
for security to keep the peace These notable
artists we're arrested by officers Norwood and God
dard.

KEEP on TALKISG.--we heard an old-lne Dem
ocrat from the State of Georgia, make an asser-
ton, last evening, which we want all Southern men
who may see this to ponder well upon before the
next Presidential election. He (the Georgian) said,
and emphatically, too, that rather than cast his
