MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.-As the General
Pike was leaving Louisville last Friday
for ST. Louis an old lady stepped on board
and asked the clerk ior a deck passage,
saying she wanted to go to Kcokuk and
had no money. The captain accorded
her passage, on which she went ashore
and in a few minutes after returned in a
hack with handsome young girl of a
bout 13 years, walked to the office and
took passage, displaying well filled
purse, and registering her name as Mrs.
Quinley and daughter. Nothing peculiar
was observed in their conduct until Sa.
turday, when the young lady was taken
suddenly sick, had violent spasms, and
fnallv at night died. On reaching here
yesterday afternoon, the Coroner was
sent for and took charge ofthe body, the
old lady being meanwhile placed in safe
keeping The matter was being inves
tigated by the authorities of St. Louis.

o. We regret to learn that Mr., Bo-
ker, through whose public spirit and
love Of art we have for many years enjoy
ed the pleasure of studying the Dussel-
dorf pictures, in consequence Of his re-
cent domestic infelicities, purposes to
close the Dusseldorf gallery, and will
probably send the pictures back to Eu-
rope. This collection, the finest in Amer
ica, had cost Mr.. Boxer over two hun
dred thousand dollars.-N. Y. MIRROR.
The Mr. BOXER here spoken of has
resided in this country many years, and
has realized large fortune by mercantile
pursuits. Being a man of taste and in
tellectual cultivation, his children were
well educated. and reared in all social
and domestic refinment; but daughter
conceived a wayward passion for her
fathers coachman or ostler AMI was Sc
cretly married to him. The event na-
turally distressed the parent deeply, and
his suflerings and vain efforts to rescue
his child from her untoward connexon
were the subject of great fun for the
oyster cellar presses and the jeers and
derislon of their congenial readers. Those
"inielicities' have, it seems, so preyed on
the "hard-hearted" father as to break him
up and he is selling off his property to
leave the country, Such is the object of
coarse unieeling mockery.

MISTAKES OF PRINTERs-Some people
are continually wondering at the care
lessness" Of editors in allowing so many
errors and blunders to appear in their
columns and mar the print. Such people
know very little of the difficulties-of
keeping them out. The most careful
attention to these matters will not pre-
vent errors from creeping In In, even
when professional proof readers are en-
gagged expressly for the purpose. And
when it is borne in mind that in most
papers such an expense is necessarily
dispensed with, and the proofs on that
account are hurriedly examined, the fact
will be no longer appear strange. In con
nection with this subject the following
auecdote is not inappropriate.
A Glasgow publishing house a.temp-
ted to publish work that should be a
perfect specimen OF typographical accur-
acy. After having been read by six ex-
perienced proof readers, it was posted up
in the hall of the University, and a re-
ward of ESQ offered to any one who
should detect an error. Each page re-
mained two weeks in this place, and yet
when the work was issue !, several errors
were discovered one Of which was in the
first line of the first page!
When such was the case in city long
celebrated in Great Britain for publish
ing the finest and most correct editions
of the ella ssics, what is to be expected in
newspaper which must necessarily be
hurried through the press while it is
