RoMAScE IN REAL L1rE.-Some years sgo a
very beautiful young lady was the ward Of a
person in Louisiana, who defrauded her out Of
quite large fortune. The lady came to this
city, where she married, but not living on good
terms with her husband, finally obtained .
divorce from him and retired to convent.
Whilst she Was there she received letter from
the son Of her former guardian, informing her
of his fathers death and that himself had
heired all his vast property, but that he could
not consent to retain that which had been
treacherously taken from another snd Offering
to make restitution. The lady immediately
proceeded to Louisiana, had an interview with
the heir, and received back ,kstb. principal and
interest, all that she had been wronged out of
The strangest part Of the story remains behind.
No sooner had she got possession Of her fortune
than she returned to this city, sought out her
former husbrnd; and in few days was re-
married to him. Verify, the love Of woman
passeth understanding. The parties are now
living in st. Louis and it is hoped will sgree
better than formeriy.-St Louis Int. - 4

MRS. LIE VERr-The Providence Journal thus
responds to the rather extravagant fight Of a
Mobile poet, which graced the columns Of city
contemporary on a recent occasion:
Don't do amy such 7nimg.-A Mobile paper
publishes some verses addressed to beautiful
woman Of that city who has just started on a tour
in Europe. Among other things the poet gives
/" Go, peerless one and, on thy wandering way,
Tel kingdoms thou art Freedoms lovely daughter
Now we advise her not to do any such thing II
the kingdoms do not fnd it out themselves, let
them remain in ignorance of the fact
Equally unsound do we consider the following
further counsel rendered by the poet to the same
lady: .'-i st.~ 'tSA :
Be thou evangel Of thy sex; proclaim
To sceptered queen their mission and their sphere:
Bid Nature crimson with the glow of shame, r ,
While Woman rules, and Mans content to the fear.'
We regard this as equally unsound, and trust
that the fair lady viii make no such declaration,
and give no such directions to nature in general
We do not believe that the sceptered queens would
pay any attention to it, and we do not see any
good reason why Nature should trouble herself on
account of the fact stated in the last line. Our
advice-none the worse for being in plain prose
is, that the lady 60 out and have good time,
letting the kingdoms and the queens and Nature
take care of themselves. s.

LAW SUIT AMONG SHowMEN-The Albany Ar
gus understands that Barnum has commenced a
suit against DR.. spalding, for several thousand dol.
lars damage, in consequence of the death of a
GlraHe on DOard the FlOaung Palace at New
Orleans some time since. spalding, it seems, had
hired the animal with the privilege Of buying but
in transferring it to the "Paace, notwithstanding
every precaution was used to guard against all &C.
cidents or injury, he was accidentally drowned.
Barnum claims the accident occurredin consequence
of the negligence Of spalding, and claims damages
for the value, about $4,000. On the other hand,
Spadlng claims that every possible precaution and
diligence were used, and as the animal was under
the charge Of keeper appointed by Barnum, if
there was any carelessness or negligence, it was
through the carelessness of such keeper, that the
death Of the animal occurred, and that Barnum is
liable for the damage and loss estimated at $50 ooo
suffered by Spalding Both parties have the re-
putation of being rather shrewd in their way, and
as both are well able to pay the lawyers, we hope
they will both obtain justice and get the worth Of
the money they pay them.

E. J. HART & Co., New ORLEANs.-During our
recent visit to the city, we took occasion to call at
this establishment great business house Of
America-and are under special obligations to the
firm as well us to Mr.. E. Solomon, anintinate friend,
and general manager of the establishment for
courteses and civilites during our visit. We are
indebted to the Crescent for the following outline
highly interested us will prove equally as interest
ing to our readers:
The buildings at present occupied by Messrs. E.
j. Hart Il Co., Nos. ~ and 9 Tchoupitouas street,
are four stories high, and are admirably arranged
with reference to the needs of business, and are
stocked from the lower floor to the roof with an
immense assortment of different wares. The two
buildings open into one another on the lower floor,
through large and spacious arches in the masonry,
and are thrown into one in the second third and
fourth stories. The ground floors are filled with
groceries in bulk, which convey very favorable
idea of the state Of the produce market in this
ton Of country. In the rear of the part Of store
No. II is large space apportioned for putting up
ship and steamboat stores, which is occupied by
broken packages Of everything needed. As much
attention is paid to this department Of business by
Messrs. Hart & Co., the orders are sometimes ex-
ceedngly heavy.
The front portion Of one of the stores, on the
second floor, is occupied by fuge and commo-
dous counting room; the front of the other is used
for asample-room. The sample-room is a miniature
Of the entire establishment, where purchases can
be made without going out. There are specimen
Jars of pickles, preserves and pastryuits jars of
butter, jams and oils bottles Of brandies, wines,
whisky, cologne and rum; samples Of cigars, candy,
tobacco, tea, soap and thousand other unnamed
necessities. A large portion of the second and
third stories of No. n are devoted to drugs,
essential oils, surgical instruments and other things
pertinent to that branch of business Near the
drug department, in the third story, is an inn
mense stock Of all kinds Of wines and liquors, some
of it very old, very valuable, and very excellent
On the fourth floor is stored willow ware, straw
and other wrapping paper with many miscellaneous
articles.
The facilities afforded to country merchants for
making almost alt their purchases at one time and
place is not equalfed in this city and has natural
consequence Of drawing many there. We trust the
energy, industry and enterprise Of the firm will
enable them shortly to forget the fiery ordeal
through which they recently passed--and from
which they have so instantly arisen. The firm of
E. J. Hart l. Co., consists Of E. J. Hart. l. N.
Marks and B. B. Hart, and gives employment to
twenty-five persons aside from the partners.

THE Power OF THE PREss.-Col. Fuller, of
the New York Mirror, pays the following tribute
to the Power and Stability of the London
Times: .-..ss,
"7he Thunder Of the London Times Ac-
counted For.-According to the London Morning
Post, the savage attacks of the Times upon
Lord Raglan are made in consequence of Lord
Raglan dismissing Mr.. Russell, the cores
pendent of the Times, from the camp. 1t seems
that Mr.. Russell was carried to Malta in
steamer, at the public expense took three
horses to carry himslf and baggage from Varna
to the Orimea, at the public expense, when field
officers were allowed but one horse and he and
his horses had been fed at the public crib ever
since the army disembarked, until Lord Raglan
found it out, and put stopper on our own
correspondent Hence the wild thunder of the
Times! z
So says the Baltimore Sun. We do not draw
any such ungenerous inference The London
Times needs no favor of the Government. 1t is
greater institution than any regal dynasty in
Europe, and will do doubt outlive them all.
The editorial chair Of the Times is more
glorious and more permanent seat than the
throne of Queen Victoria" i'5

BAD ADvIcE.-John Mitchell has had the bad
taste to give the following advice to the military
companies composed Of foreigners, recently
disbanded in Massachusetts,. We can scarcely
wonder at the extremes to which hostility to
foreigners is carried, when one Of their number
has the temerity thus to speak:
''For every musket given in to the State
Armony, let three be purchased forthwith let
independent companies be formed thrice as
numerous as the disbanded corps-there are no
Arms Acts here yet-and let every foreigner be
drilled and trained, and have his arms always
ready. For you may be very sure, (having
some experience in that matter) that those who
begin by disarming you, mean to do you mis-
chief e
Be careful not to truckle in the smallest
particular to American prejudices. Yield not a
single jot Of your own, for you have as good a
right to your prejudices as they. Do not, by
any means, suffer Gardner's Bible 1.-THE Pro-
testant Bible) to be thrust down your throat.
Do not abandon your post, or renounce your
functions, as citizens OF as soldiers, but after
resort to the last and highest tribunal of law
open to you; keep the peace; attempt no
demonstrations; discourage drunkenness, and
stand to your arms" r. -
