II. A; Wiso and E. Stanly.

In the red hot belligercnt Congressional
party debates of Van Buren's Administra.
ton the two most prominent and terrible
Southern Wings in the House were II. A.
Wise, Of Virginia, and Edward Stanly, of
North Carolina. Where are they now
Wise is the Democratic Governor Of Vir-
ginia-the Southern Achilles of the Demo-
cratic party-and as such the especial
party champion among his numerous admi-
rers for the next Presidency. On the
other hand, Stauly, having joined the
general exodus some years ago of decayed
politicians to California, has turned up in
that country of wonderful things the Re-
publican candidate for GOVERNOR South
crn man with Northern principles-in
opposition to John B. Weller, Northern
man with Southern principles. Thus from
the time that Major Bolts slept under the
same blanket with Captain Tyler, we have
had the most curious transmogrifcatons
among our prominent politicians, in all
directions. But sheald Stanly, of North
Carolina, be elected by the Republican
party Governor of California, it will be an
individual and a popular revolution only
surpassed by the election of son Of
Henry Clay t, Congress as Democrat.
from the Ashland district. Such are the
ups and downs of politics. We may yet
live to see W. II. Seward roaring niggcr
driver, aud Millard Fillmore a Methodist
preacher. Who knows?

Married in Spite,of Themselves.


Old Governor Saltonstall, Of Connecticut,
who fourished ssomc fifty years since, was
a man of some humor, as well as persever.
ance in effccting the ends he desired,-
Among other anecdotes told of him by the
New London people, the place where he
resided, is the following -
Of the various sccts which have flourish
cd for their day and then ceased to exist,
was one known as the Rogersitcs, SO called
from their foundcr-John or Tom OF some
other Rogers-who settled not far lroln
the goodly town aforesaid.
The distinguished tenet Of the sect was
the denial of the propriety and scripturulity
of the form of marriage: " 1t is not good
for man to be alone" This they believed,
and also that one wife only should clcavo
to ber husb'nd," but then this should be
a matter of agreement merely, and tho
couple should come together aud i've as
man and wife, dispensing with all forms Of
the marriage covenant. The old governor
used frequently to call upon Rogers and
! talk the mates over with him, and cndea-
vor to convince him of the impropriety of
living with Sarah as he did. But neither
John nor Sarah would give up the srgv-
meat
1t was matter of conscience with them
they were very happy together as they
werc-of what use then could q mere mat
ter of form be! Suppose they would
thereby escape scandal; were they not
bound "to take up the cross" and live
according to the rules they professed p
The governors logic was powerless.
He was in the neig hborhood of John
one day, and meeting with him, accepted
an invitation to dine with him. The con-
versation, as usual, turned upon the old
subject.
SNOw, Johp," says the governor, after
long pause, "why will you not marry
Sarah Have you not taken her to be
your welded wife,"
Yes, certainly" replied john, but
my conscience will not permit me to marry
her, in the formsof the worlds people,"
every we'll. But you love her 2"
"Yes."
"And cherish her, as bone of your bone,
and flesh Of your tlosh :"
"Yes, certainly | do"
"And you, Sarah, love him and obey
him, and respect him, and cherish him 7"
"Thcn," cried the governor, rising, l." in
the name of the laws of God and of the
Commonwealth Of Connecticut, pronounce
you 10 be husband and wife"
The rawlings and rage of John and Sarah
were of no avail-thc knot was tied by the
highest authority in the Stltc.

The Ocean Telegraph.

Perhaps no undertaking of the present
ngc, says the IotsriHe RcyiSicr, claimed
more universal attention than the laying
of he d Atlantic ! clegraph Gable. When
this great work is completed and We have
no doubt that it will be completed, not =
wthstanding the recent disaster, the old
and new world will be brought to daily
knowlodgG of public transactions 90 both
sides of the ocean. Foreign news by fast
steamers will soon be an oil fogy iustitu-
ton. With the ocean telegraph in successful
operation, the news of Paris, London, and
all other important PLACES, will be rs COM
mon in the daily papers each morning, as
is now the latest news from ijC.ton or New
Orleans.
But for the present, the great hopes of
this 81 rious result are dashed to the earth
or, rather, they are Gin the deep bosom OF
the ocean buried" The disappointment to
the public mind may be imagined when the
news from Europe by the America COM
muuicated the fact that the present enter
prise, has proved disastrous failure. The
cable has been broken before one sixth of
it had been laid, and the fleet engaged IN
laying it had abandoned the task and
returned to ''Europe. Everybody SCENE
to spcek ofSh9 oycnt as great calamity
Some, of course, wise after thu fact, knew
it could not be done, while others took a
more hopeful view ofthe matter, and thought
it within the possibility of future effort to
finally accomplish the work.
This unfortunate event is not an unex-
pected one to those engaged to it. The
dlfficul les Of the task were thoroughly
understood, and all that provision could
suggest as security against danger, or
mechanical science could invent to facilitate
the work, was adopted in the preparatory
arrangements. They have unfortunately
proved insufficient and the work viii now
probably be temporarily abandoned OIL
account of the advanced season-whicl
increases the dangers and the difficulties
for second and better prepared effort early
next year, when we hope that better success
will attend it, We look upon the underta
king in the confidence that ultimately i
will be a work performed-a triumph o.
genius and Of science over the clements
the crowning achievement of the age.

A LONG TERM.-A convict was discharg
cd from Sing Sing prison on the 9th ult.,
who had spent thirty years in the State
prison. He was sent to the old city prison
10 1923, for the term of fourteen years.
He was one of chain-gang sent to Sing
Sing iu 1918, to build that prison. AT
the expiration Of his term he was out about
three years; then sent back for ten years.
He was out only three months was drunk
all the time was then tascn up and sent
for six years; that time expired on the
fifth. He has been a good convict ; has
been punished only once during the entire
thirty years; he is now in good health; is
fifty.six years old and is 4 superior mason
and stone. cutter He intends 20 devote
the balance of his life to himself,

Cuaning Of the Raven.

In the narrative of the Artic Voyage of
Capt, Mcclure, of the British Navy, is the
following story of two ravens which became
domcsticatcd on board the Investigator
The raven, it appears, is the only bird
that willingly braves Polar winter, and
in the depth of the season he is seen TO fit
through the cold and sunless atmosphere
like an evil spirit, his suilcn croak alone
breaking the stiffness Of the death like scene.
No one Of the crew attempted to shoot the
ravens, they consequently became very
bold, as will be seen from the following
story;
"rwo ravens now established themselves
as friends of the family in Mercy Bay,
living mainly by what little scraps the men
might have thrown away after meal-times.
The ships dog, however, looked upon
these as his especial perquisites, and exhib-
led considerable energy in maintaining
his rights against the ravens, who ncverthe-
less outwittcd him in way which amused
every enc. Observing that he appeared
quite willing to make a mouth(ul OF their
own sable persons, they used to throw
themselves intentionally in his way, just
as the mestins were being CLEANED out on
the dirt heap outside the ship. The dog
would immedi atcly run at them and they
would just fly few yards; the dog then
made ano'her run, and again they would
sppear to escape him but by an inch, and
40 on until they had tempted and provoked
him to the shoDc considerable distance
Off The ravens would make a direct
flight for the ship, and had generally done
good execution before the mortified looking
dog detected the imposition that had been
practiced upon him, and rushed back
again"

Extraordinary Surgical Case.
A DIRK TRAVELLING FOURTEEN YEARS
THROUGH A MANS SKULL.

DIRK TRAVELLING FOURTEEN YEARS
THROUGH A MANS SKULL.
We met with the most interesting case
this morning which has occurred in our
experience for long time. We were in.
troduccd to gentleman who gave US
practical czemplifcation of the wonderful.
Fourteen or fifteen years ago he states he
was passing down Baltimore street, late at
night, during heavy snow storm, when
he met near Frederick street, three men
and woman. He gave them the way,
but being violently jost!cd by one of them,
no upbraided them somewhat sharply,
when they attacked him. Being a power
full man, standing about six feet in his
shoes, he soon laid two Of them horS du
combat, and chased the other to the oppo-
site side Of In: street, where he fclled him
to the ground, and where, leaning over
him, lie received a blow in the left temple,
which staggered as well as bcwildered
him for few moments. Upon recovering
himself his assailants had fed, and feeling
the blood flowing pretty freely from the
wound, proceeded to a physician, who soon
found that he had been stabbed, the instru-
ment entering about half way between the
eye and ear, and breaking of short, leaving
q considerable length of blade in his head
All efforts to extract it proved futile.
Strange to say, he felt very little pain or
Inconvenience from his condition. The
wound soon healed, aud he attended to his
regular avocations as if nothing had hap
pcncd. Three years after, the wound
again opening, he consulted surgeon,
who, feeling the ragged edge of the blade,
made several cllcrts to draw it out, and,
after considerable labor, drew from the
wound a portion Of the base of the broken
dirk, which measured within fraction of
two inches in length. This part of it gave
an idea Of the amount remaining, which
was supposed to be piece OF abou. the
same size taken away,
For eleven years longer did it continue
in this condition, when, about two weeks
since, after suffering great degree of pain
on the right side Of his nose, near the cor
ner of his eye, on the opposite side to where
he received the wound, and considerable
swelling appearing, he went to Professor
Smith, who, upon examining the disc ascd
part, found the point of the blade protrud-
. ing 1t had actually traversed through
the bones of the head, and, after fourteen
years, made its appearance in the above
locality. Such is its position, plain to the
eve, and wonderful to be believed, except
ing by an eye witness. DR.. Smith, we
understand, proposes, in short time, to
operate for its expulsion. We have often
heard of pins and needles being swallowed
and in after years making their appearance
in different parts of the body, but that the
blade of dirk, between three and foul
inches in length, should thus travel, and
through bones at that, forms an interesting
subject for the surgeon as well as for th'
common mind d.-BQ1timoyc Patriot

gS5~ The New York Tribune endorses
the ianatical idea of certain Frenchy saveaS,
(moro properly rovcns) as to the propricty
of eating horse flesh;
" In the horse We have an animal which
is much cleaner in its habits than the hog,
herbivorous like the OK or sheep, whose
flesh is rich in nitrogen, and as pleasant
to the taste as that of either of the above
named animals. What prevents horse
flesh from being found upon our tables ?
Nothing but a popular prejudice, which
recent Investigations in Paris show is
entirely without any foundation whatever.

G,Sy-1 Lie new Constitution Of Iowa has
been sustained by the people, The princl-
pal opposition was made by some of the
Democratic party but the party was not
united against it, The clause allowing
negro suffrage was submitted to separate
vote, aud voted d WI by an overwhelming
maj rity. The Republican party say that
the negro has ro rights that they arc bound
to respect. Large numbers Of the shrickers
must have voted outright against negro
suffrage, What will they do with that
clause Of the Declaration of Independence
that declares all men created free and
equal If the faithful expect to succeed,
they must do better They have rallied
themselves hoarse at the Dred Scott decision,
which denies that niger can be citizen
of Thea United States. Do they mean that
he is citizen and will they deny him,
being a citizen, the right to vote Greeley
ought to give the brethren IN Iowa lesson
He ought to talk to them seriously.
