We believe some of the know moth.
ing papers attempt to justify the Plug
Ugly riots in Washington City,
while others repudiate their brethren
ofthe press and the Plug-Uglies too,
a few of the more reckless wonld like
to create the impression that the
Democrats, and not K. Ms. are res
ponsible fer those bloody scnes.
Such scenes were dead letter in our
history until the Inauguration Of
Know-Notbingism. These are some
few of the results Of the ruinous tend
encies fthis fungus upon the body
polite. Truly our cities may say,
"It is monster of such frightful mien
That to be hated, needs but to be seen.'

A MONEY Box.-A wealthy citi-

large circle of poor relatives, a hall
sister, who is the mother of several
fine boys, residing in distant state.
One Of the boys, who is learning the
cabinet making trade, made a band
some rosewood box and sent it to
the old gentleman, who was so much
pleased that he Immediately trans
ferred $4,000 Of the stock in the
Fall River Bank to the credit OF the
children of his half sister. Such gilts

SERVED RIGHT.

The California papers relate a sto
ry which is worth repeating. A law
yer ofSan Francisco became enam
ored Of married lady, and she, after
a short struggle, agreed that his fas
cinations were irresistible. Bnt she
could only capitulate upon condition
of marriage, and as long as she was a
wife, she could not give him any en-
couragement. The lawyer who was
wealthy, instituted on behalf of the
lady a suit for divorce; but as the hus-
band led an irreproachable life, no tes-
timony to sustain the suit could be
had.
The wife suggested to her would
be-lov er, that. as she could not prove
anything against her husband, it might
be well to entrap him by some trick,
and thereby manufacture evidence
To settle the matter as speedily as
possible, the lawyer applied to her
husband, and knowing his cupidity,
offered him $4,000 if he would with.
draw his objections to the divorce, or
give him proof of his infdelity. The
latter plan was adopted as the most
expedient, and, consenting to. be
watched by two persons, he visited a
disrepu,able place Of resort, furnished
evidence of bis guilt and at the same
hour received bis $4,000. The di-
vorce suit was then referred to an at
torney to report to the court the facts
in the case, upon which it is pretty
well believed a decree would be en-
tered, but suddenly the lawyer dis
covered that his lady-loye was non est,
and upon making the necessary in
quiries, the following facts We're re-
vealed to bis astonished vision:
The husband and wife hao con-
spired to diddle him out Of $4,000
cash and about 81, ,G00in jewelry, had
made up all seeming difficulties, and
taken passage on the mail steamer
for New York, leaving him as the butt
of their extreme practical joke. Who
says he was not served rightly?

WHOLE NO. s2s,
LAGER BEER

Lager beer is matted liquor orig
inaly made in Bavaria, IN essential
properties identical with ordinary ale,
which it closely resembles in appear
ance, though differing in taste, of
much less specific gravity; weaker,
and retaining its foam shorter time
after being drawn. It's taste is sub
acid, pungent, and leaves in tho
mouth peculiar flavor, caused by a
coating of pitch which the interior of
the barrels receive before being filed.
The difference between the modes of
brewing lager beer and ordinary ale
is indicated by the etymology Of the
name Lager : meaning rest--remsin-
ing in store, the former requiring to
rest in cool vault from four to si,
months before it becomes drinkable.
while t he latter can be used immedi-
ately after being emptied from the
watts
In effects, it is very moderately
exhilarating, having but feeble intoxi-
eating properties. Indeed, if it wers
not comparatively innocnous in is
effects, the enormous quantity con-
sumed would effect sad havoc among
the drinkers-it being no unusual
occurrence for an individual TO drink
a 6 allon daily, and even more.

MRS MACREADY.-This talented lady, We are
gratiied to inform our readers arrived in this
City yesterday, and will give one or two of
her excellent Dramatic readings before St.
Paul audience this week. The high opinions
which the Press of the entire country have
unanimously given of Mrs. Macready's enter
tainment for the past several years the repu-
tation she has always sustained of being the
first Dramatic reader on the American Stage,
have all created wish on our part to hear and
see for ourselves, something so agreeably diff
ferent from the mounting, unmcaning rant so
commonly heard on stages, and the dry read
ing literally SOY mostly done by dramatic
Readers Mrs. Macready avoids both. Her
representation of each character she appears
in, is said to be easy, free, and unaffected. She
never reads, but rectes from memory thus
giving the representation all the freedom of
action the characters require. Mrs. NJ. gives
new meaning new embodiment, as it were,
to every character she represents. The old
hackneyed styles of actresses, and worn out
manners are all thrown aside. There is new
ness, freshness, a force about her style which
is eminently pleasing
So we are assured by reading the notices of
our contemporaries elsewhere. The Dubuque
papers are loud in praises of this talented
actress, and we can assure our readers that an
evening or two spent in witnessing and listen
ing to one of her entertainments will be we'll
spent.
We will announce tomorrow, there the
reading will be given.
Since writing the above, we learn that Mrs.
Macready has engaged the Capitol Hall, and
will announce through the Press, the time of
her first entertainment.

grew out of the arrest by the deputy Uni

with harboring fugitive slaves in Mechanics
burg, in Champaign county. An attempt
was made on the part of the citizens to de-
tain the prisoners by m eans of a writ of ha-
beas corpus, but the latter were taken out
of the county before the writ could be SER
we'd. Another was then procured in Green
county, which was served by the sheriff,
backed by larged body of citizens. After
considerable resistance, in which several
shots were exchanged, the marshel and his
assistants were overpowered and conveyed
as prisoners to Springfield, where they are
to be tried for resisting the sheriff in the
discharge of his duty.

A BRIDE CHANGING HER DIR Ess IN CHURCH.
About the middle of last week, two young
ladies and two gentlemen, all apparently in
mourning, paid morning visit to church,
in quiet neighborhood, in st. Anne's ward,
Liverpool. On entering the church, the door
was closed and locked, and the lades-leav-
ing the gentlemen to disencumber themselves
of their overccats and draw forth their white
kid gloves retired behind the pulpit, whence
they soon emerged dressed in full bridal at
tire. The clergyman, accompanied by an
official, appearing from the vestry, then
joined the transmogrified mourners at the
altar, when the nuptial ceremony was gone
through. The gentlemen then resumed their
overcoats, the ladies again retired to their
impromptu robing room, and reappesyng in
their mourning costume, the hsppy party
left the church.-=Liuerpocl Journal.
