THE HANDSOME SoUL.-0ne day last winter
little boy from the South, who was n visit
to the city was taking his first lesson in the art
of sliding down HILL when he suddenly found
his feet in rather too close contact with lady $
silk dress. Surprised mortified and confused
he sprang from his sled, and cap in hand, com.
municated an earnest apology.
81 beg your pardon, ma am. AN very sorry.
"Never mind" exclaimed the lady there is
no harm done, and you feel great deal worse
about it than do"
But dear madam said the boy, his eyes
filed with tears, "your dress is ruined.
thought that you would be very angry with me
for being so careless"
20, no. replied the lady "bettel have soil.
ed dress than ruifled temper"
80, isn't she a beauty said the lad, as the Ia
dy passed on.
"Who, that lady ~ returned his comrade. al
you call her 4 beauty, you stan't choose for me
Why, she is more than thirty years old and her
face is yellow and wrinked =
III don't care If her face is wrnkled." replied
the little hero, "her sOd IS hand some HshO,c.'
A shou; of laughter followed, from which the
little fellow was glad to escape. Relating the
incident to his mother, he remarked.

never forget it and when | am tempted to in

New YoRK, August 25.-The suspension
of the Ohio Life and Trust Company has been
followed today by that of John Thompson,
who has fol. many years done the leading
business in uncurrent money, and acted as
the agert of various banks. This suspension
has been wholly unexpected, and will cause
an inconvenience, the extent of which cannot
now be estimated. The assets of Mr.. Thomp-
son are largely in bank notes, not available at
present, and in other securities, alike of small
value in the present excited state of the mar
ket. Other stock houses have also suspend
ed-among them, Laurey, Iselin, & Clark,
and E. s. Monroe. The embarrassment of
the former, thus far, extends only to their
stock business. The house, however, is I'M
derstood to have purchased some exchange on
short time.
Thd affairs of the Ohio Life and Fund Co.
are freely discussed in the street. 1t is stated
that the Pittsburg and Cleveland Railroad
owes it $500, 900, for which its bonds are
pledged The Bank of Norwalk had its &C.
count with the Company, and reports that its
funds are all well, as lite collecting paper has
been used by the Trust Company, in common
with the collecting paper of other houses.
The funds of many Western travellers are
made unavailable, causing much personal in.
convenience. No statement has been made
of the affairs of the Company, but it is un.
derstood that within few days full expo
siton will be made.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT happened in the jewelry
store of c. e. Coleman, corner of Main and Fos-
ter streets, on Monday afternoon about o'clock,
says the Bay State. Daniel H. ONeil, highly
respectable young man employed by Mr.. Cole
man, was engaged in repairing some article of
jewelry, and had occasion to use an alcohol lamp
and blow-pipe. Hissface was near the fame,
when suddenly the wick was blown out, and near
ly half pint Of the blazing liquid was discharged
over his face and head. Mr. B. w. Hyde, who
stood by, Immediately pulled off his own coat,
and with great presence Of mind wrapped it
around his head effectualy smothering the flame
and thereby saving his eye-sight, if not his life.
DIR. Joseph N. Bates was called, who dressed his
burns, which were severe, and he is now comfort
able. Nearly all the hair was burned off his head.
1t is thought that the accident was owing to the
fact that the wick did not i'll the tube, which
gave the fire chance to Communicate with the
spirit in the lamp. ae

SORGHUM SUcRE.-The Manchester IN. H.
American, says that the Chinese sugar cane,
small patches of which have been planted all
through the State, proves to be an entire fail
ure SO faI as regards the production of sugar.
In size, it compares favoraDly with Indian
corn, and will probably be superb fodder for
Fall and Winter use. The season has been
unfavorable by its unusually cool tempera.
ture. This statement will probably apply to
all New England. Farther South, however,
better success has attended its cultivation,
The Baltimore american remarks:
cat the season when the experiment of
cultivating the Chinese sugar cane in this
country approaches period Of practical com.
parison, the probabilities of complete sue.
cess become appreciably greater. From every
point who're the cane has yet reached maturi-
ty, the most favorable results are reported
success appears to be so near the surface, that
the grinding of half dozen stalks satisfies
alike the experienced planter and the most
obtuse doubter. Indeed, even in localities
where 1t is yet only like waving Geld of
green maize, there are not wanting those who
are confident of its adaptation to profitable
culture. In the South, in some instances,
the experiment of expressing and boiling the
juice, has been made, and with the most fiat
tering prospects, From Georgia, Texas, the
Carolinas, and Virginia, we have heard a uni.
form voice of appreciation. Excellent srup
has been produced, of exquisite flavor, and
in unexpected profusion. Large quantities
are also growing throughout the West and
Northwest. 2"

SABBATH SCHOOL EXCURSION. The members
of the Sabbath school connected with the First
Baptist Church in this city, had an excursion to
Harmony Grove, birmingham, yesterday. An
extra train, well loaded, left the depot at eight
O'Clock, and arrived at Framlnghan about nine
o'clock, where the excursionists spent the time,
till eleven o'clock, in the pleasant pastime of boat
ing, swinging, &c., when they repaired to the
grove, and were welcomed by the Superintendent,
Mr.. A. L. Burbank, in some impressive and fell
citous remarks, after which the company was ad-
dressed by Mr.. Werden Reynolds, Superintendent
of the Third Baptist school, Rev. Geo. R. Oar
row of West Boylston, and last, though not the
least, by their pastor, Rev. Mr.. Jones.
Then followed poem by their former Superin.
tendent Mr.. H. D. Smith, and after singing, the
company retired to the table for dinner, which
was excellently well got up, and satisfied all.
After dinner, there was singing by the children
from the Orphans Home, in this city, who went
with the company The excursionists enjoyed
themselves generally in the grove till the hour of
departure, about five O'Clock, when they
to their homes, without having met with any ac
cident to mar the pleasures OF the day.

BARNEY LYNCH is a singular specimen of
the jail. bird by instincts and force of habit.
Barney is habitual thief of petty articles,
giving preference to umbrellas, and, in con-
sequence, he spends his time in a continual
pleasure round of the jails at Hartford, Wor-
cester, and this city. Barney likes the life.
1t saves him the trouble of working of his
own accord and insures him cleanliness and
plenty to eat. Then Barny likes change of
climate, and, as he is seldom in for more than
month or so at a time in any one place, he
gets it. Once he was in the Springfield Jail
for six months. Mr.. Adams let him work
about the grounds, as he usually does with
Barney, who is, as a general thing, content
with his quarters, and Barney concluded af-
ter month or two that change of air would
be beneficial, so he ran away for the Hartford
jail, but Mr.. Adams overhauled him Just this
side of Longmeadow and brought him back.
lie didn't try it again. In his efforts to get
into JAIL Barney is ingenious, sometimes so
much so that he overshoots the mark, as in
his attempt at Hartford, on one occasion,
when he stole an umbrella at the front door,
took it to the back door, and sold it to the
lady of the house for fifty cents. Instead
of its being recognized, and he arrested,
as he hoped, he actually got his fifty cents,
and had to go away with it, Yesterday,
Barney went to the Jail kitchen in this
city, and inquired for breakfast, and, while
he was eating it, was arrested for stealing an
umbrella on Sunday. He is held for trial to-
morrow, and expects to take up his old resi-
dence again in Mr.. Adams's family. Spring.

WILLIAMS CoLLEGE.-In the evening after
the recent commencement at Williams Col
lege, at the presidents levee, Nathan Jackson
of New YORK, inquired of the financial agent
whether he had his subscription book with
him. Mr.. d. replied that he had not. Mr..
Jackson remarked that he should be glad to
subscribe five dollars towards erecting the col
lege chapel. He was told that any sum,
however small or large, would be acceptable !;
and being furnished with pencil and paper.
subscribed one tbouSend dollars, and the next
morning transferred his pledge to the sub
scription book. Thus over seven thousand
dollars was secured in one day for the pur-
pose of erecting a new college editice, besides
the promise of bell from Judge Isham, of

FIFTY CENTS ON A DoLLAR.-A gentleman
in Twelfth street, who is in the habit of send

his understandings one day last week. He

he returned, saying it was shut up. The gem

MADERIA-The CatasCba Grape.-A cores
pondent of the Boston 1raUelier, writing at
Madeira, says OF the failure of the grape =
"The Portuguese say, however, that it has
been Of service to the island, as the people
have turned their attention to the production
of grains and the sugar cane, and sre no long
or under the dominion of English merchants.
This year there is not a grape on the island,
and all hopes of overcoming the blight are
given up. No one comprehends the disease,
and no remedy can be found. The grapes,
when two months old, collect mould on the
shady side, as large as pins head, which
bursts and shoots out the seed-in few days
they are dead. Mr.. March has introduced the
Catawba, which he thinks will flourish. and
produce, in few years, as much wine as the
island has ever done, and of fine quality"

Gov. GARDNER-That Gov. Gardner in
tends to be the nominee of Cobb and Stearns,
seems evident that the intention will re
main mistaken up to the time Of the Cobb
and Stearns convention, Is not, after all, SO
sure. In any event, he is leading up his de-
luded followers to terrible political slaught-
er. If he comes into the field, nothing will
save him from defeat. The secret bond of his
party is broken; the party itself is divided
against iself; he is no longer regarded as es-
sential to the ambitious projects of others;
the tide is setting against him; the press is
against him and in his present position,
there is but one alternative-to retire from
the field and leave his followers to be slaught-
cred under another leader, or remain and be
driven from it. 1t is estimated by those who
know him pretty well, that he will drive
business in his usual style up to the time of the
convention, and if he then becomes convinced
that he cannot win, he will decline nomina-
ton on the ground that he had already for
mally retired from the political held IN his
message to the Legislature We doubt
whether he has the cheek for this, but We
are prepared almost for anything. If he re-
tires, it will be because he has become con-
WINGED that Banks will beat him; and the
act will be the signal for such rush into the
Banks camp as it will be refreshing to see.
We hope he will remain in the field. In
glorious defeat is the only proper close of
such political career as his has been.-
