SHARP BUSINESS OPERATIos.-The NewY ork
Evening Post gives the particulars of keen
business transaction in that city, which seems
to be mixed in equal parts with love and mon
ey. A school girl, and only child, received
the addresses of young man, which coming
to the ear Of her father, he had an interview
with the lover, and, by dint Of persuasion and
a thousand dollars, got his promise TO cease
his visits. For a while the separation seemed
to be permanent, but after few weeks appa-
rent forgetfulness of her sweetheart, the girl
informed her friends that three days previous
thereto she was married to the bought-off low
er, but returning directly from the house of
the officiating clergyman, she had not seen her
husband since the ceremony. The father,
distressed beyond measure, again sought the
young husband, and, after much persuasion,
got from him promise to sign written agree
ment releasing his marital rights, and relin-
gushing all control over his wife. The father
willingly handed over four thousand dollars.
and the papers were TO be signed at ten O'Clock
the next day. at nine O'Clock, the sharp op-
orator, with the five thousand in his pocket
called and demanded his wife, and she depart
ed with her husband, leaving her father minus
five thousand and daughter.

CHANGE OF TUNE.


Il is amusing to witness the many singular
evolutions performed in the Locofoco camp
BY those who are attempting TO gain control
ing influence with the incoming National Ad-
mipistratiou. The South. ever since il was
known that Mr.. Buchanan is elected, has been
rnanauverfng to gain such an influence. I'm
perious dictation was at first resorted TO, and
The most ultra demands were made. Suddenly,
however, we find the Richmond Enquirer,
which had opened the fire, change its position
and commence rebuking the Charleston MsrcH-
~ and New Orleans Delta. for the threaten
ing attitude which they had assumed. 1t says
they s'are in no sense party papers," and that
:sIt will be time enough to suspect Mr.. Buchan-
an and to oppose his Administration, when he
discovers, by some unequiyocal act OF bad
faith. that he does not deserve the confidence
and support of the South The Enquirer
seems also to have arrived al full realization
of the difficulties which surround Mr.. Buchan-
an and advises the practice Of caution and
prudence in the most tender manner. II even
talks Of preserving the Union as a desirable
object-that the North should be conciliated,
$50 that when the final conflict comes, if come
it must, the South may not find herself utterly
friendless and alone - and, strange as it may
seem, after having talked of disinheriting all
the New York politicians, If has very recently
discoy cred in Hon. Vim. T.. Marcy one of the
s.foremost statesmen Of the age,'' and indul-
yes in a strain of the most unbounded laUda-
ton of him. This complete change in the
tone of the Enquirer, may appear unaccount-
able, at first sight; but when II is known that
Immediately prior TO it, Gov. Wise, OF Yirgi-
MIA, had paid a visit to Wheatland, and that,
as it is said, he went away out Of humor, it is
fair to infer that the President elect would not
commit himself, "a habit into which Jeems fell
early in liie.) and, therefore, the sschivalry''

wonderful what effect the dispensing Of pat

what deferential apologists and defenders i'm
perious dictators may become when they find
it necessary to wbeedle President into their
meshes. Tie whole affair is laughable, and
this sudden change CT position of the South

ssBLEEDrSG KANSAS" is winning advocates
where they were least expected. Even the
Washington Union pleads for the destitute and
suffering there like a genuine ''Black Repub-
lican." On account of the 'sfrightful attroci-
ties and disorders which have filed the land, .
the settlers could neither plant nor harvest,
unprepared for its terrors. ssUnless early and
efficient measures are adopted" continues the
Union, 'sto guard against famine in Kansas, no
one can foresee the fatal consequences to
which it may lead-first, in the despairng eff
forts to sustain and prolong life, and then in
the work of death itself. Without relief, the
imaginary scenes of the past may become ira
gic history.'
