The White Lady, or Mario's Shadow.

The Philadelphia Argus, Of Wednesday
gives US the following about the mysteriou
lady who constantly attends the operas ant
concerts in which Mario, the celebrated sing
or, performs:
CAT the opera, last night, curiosity was OF
| tip toe to see the much talked of White Lady
who is said to follow the handsome tenor, Ma
RIO, from place to place, as q mans shadow
follows himself. True to her passion, the
White Lady made her appearance at an early
hour, and took q seat in the south orchestra
box. She was accompanied into the theatre
6oy gentleman, who did not sit with her
during the performance aud whose relation
to her can only be conjectured. Miss - was
dressed in dark colored silk or satin, a blue
merino sack, white Grape shawl, and white
bonnet Her delicate hand was gloved in a
pair Of white kids During the evening she
made constant use of her fan, which she
used to conceal her face, and it was with
difficulty that the most impudsnt gentleman
OF the audience could catch glimpse of it.
AS soon as the curtain would fall, between
tho acts, all eyes would be directed towards
rise In their places, apply their glasses to
their eyes, and direct them to the mysterious
person. The face, however, was most pro.
vokingly hid behind that fan; and was not to
be seen. We do not doubt that many left the
house disappointed. Though Grisi may have
enchanted, Mario delighted, and Badiali as
tonished, and Signor Arditti waved his magic
wand ever 50 scientifically still that face was
not seen. In the course of the evening, many
of the curious came to within a few feet Of
where the lady sat, but cruel "fan," it was
no 60. Had this thing been got up to draw,
and not been bona .fde, it would have immor.
talized its protector Barnum, with all his
cunning and humbug, never conceived any
thing so worthy Of himself KS
We have no doubt but what every body at
the National on Monday evening next, will
be On the qut Uiue for the white lady.

9 According to the London Medical Cir
cular, the campaign in the East has, in point
of sickness and mortality, been ono of the
most disastrous on record. More than ten
thousand men have disappeared from the ranks
since the army landed in the Crimea. Many
of them are only sick, it is true, and will soon
again appear on the scene. The Russians
the poor soldiers say universally, are nothing
to the cholera and diarrhea.

Shocking Termination to a Marriage in
France

A frightful case of hydrophobia is des-
cribed in the Lyons journals, which, if facts
are correctly stated, would go to prove that
this fatal malady can remain in the system
as long as four years without development
A young farmer named Peyron, about twen-
ty-fve years of age, in the department of
the Rhine, was married few weeks ago to
neighbor's daughter. The young couple
had been long attached to each other, but
the parents of the bride had refused their
consent on account Of the strangeness oi
conduct occasionally observed in the young
man, who otherwise was a most desirable
match, his parents being comparatively y wei
off, and the son himself generally of exem
plary conduct. His passion for the cir
became at length so violent, that he coult
not exist without her, and his mother, fear
ing from his manner that he meditated sui
eide, went to the parents of the young VIC
man, and after some entreaty, prevaile
upon them to agree to the match. Youn
Peyron at once recovered his spirits, th
young woman was delighted, and the mai
rage was celebrated with all the rustic pom
and ceremony common in that part of tt
province, concluding with grand Dime
and the inevitable ball. The gaieties We

kept up until daylight, when the company
separated. The new marrisd couple were
lodged in one wing Of the farm house, sep
arate from the main building but in short
time after they had retired, cries were heard |
from the nuptial chamber. At first they /
were unnosiced but at length they increas- |
ed to. fearful shrieks, and the father: and |
mother, alarmed, hastened to the room, |
followed BY the farm servants. The cries
were by the time they arrived changed to
scarcely audible groans from the poor girl; /
and on breaking open the door she was
found in the agonies of death-her bosom
torn open and lacerated in the most horrible |
manner, and the wretched husband in a fit |
! of raving madness and covered with blood,
unfarsunass sl9 slssas = cry d 0viors
burst forth from all present, and he was
dragged from the room after a most violent
resistance, it taking no less than six men to
hold him down. Aid was instantly sent for,
and before the doctor could reach the spot,
the unhappy victim was no more. Young
Peyron was put under treatment, and
strait-waistcoat was attempted to be put upon
him but his struggles and screams were
, such that the doctor, apprehensive that he
would expire in the assistants hands, or
dered them to desist. The unfortunate
man had by this time become SO weak that
he was easily conveyed to bed, and died at
4 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day,
f without having for one moment recovered
his consciousness. It was then recollected,
in answer to searching questions by ply
sician, that somewhere. about five years pre-
viously he had been bitten by a strange
7 dog, and taken the usual hyd1ophobia
: But although the dog was killed it had
never been satisfactorily shown that it was
