A NOVEL QU1D Pro QUo.-Some few
days ago young lady, accompanied by her
brother, whilst riding in an omnibus from the
city to the Westend, was struck with the ap-
pearance of one of her felow-passengers, who,
besides being dressed in the height Of fashion,
wore magnificent diamond ring, a circum-
stance which not unnaturally attracted the at
tention of the lady. Onarriving at their jour
ney's end, the sister was very anxious to know
from her brother whether he had noticed the
pseudo gentlemen with the magnificent ring.
The circumstance, however, had escaped the
brothers observation. In the course of the
afternoon the lady, having occasion for her
purse, which contained in the morning 15G,
discovered, alas! that it was gone, but in lieu
thereof the identical diamond ring, worth 60
guneas, was left in it's stead. There is no
doubt that the diamond ring was the result OF
some previous robbery, but being too large for
the thiefs finger it slipped off while abstract
ing the purse from the lady's pocket.

SEEDS FOR KANsAs.-Our immaculate
Bingham has commenced his Samaritan task
Of binding up the wounds of Bleeding Kan
sas." AS preliminary movement, he has
drawn 81, 900 of the appropriation made by
our Legislature, and paid it over to the Kan
sas National Committee, with directions that
it be expended for the purchase of seed wheat
for Michigan emigrants in Kansas.
Michigan has many sons in Iowa, Nebras-
ka, and Minnesota, who are sadly in want of
seed wheat, as we'll as ground, boltcd and
baked wheat, but no political capital can be
made by giving them anything; therefore it
it would be unconstitutional
$1,000 for seed wheat! to be gratuitously
given to citizens who have left the State for
ever. Not cent for poor settlers on swamp
lands; not even an opportunity given them
to sow their own seed wheat. "Five dollars

squatters in Michganl" $1,000 in seed wheat
and $4,000 in money, Michigan squatters in

MORE ABOUT WHIsKEY.-An Irshman
named Morrison, who resided in Iowa City,
disappeared in September last. His wife,
family and neighbors had diligent search
made for him for weeks, but without success.
He had last been seen riding in wagon from
the city, under the supposition that he was on
his way to the city. He was advised of
his mistake and got out Of the wagon in
which he had asked the privilege of riding.
He was quite drunk and delirous at the time.
A few days since a dog brought a human
head into a farmhouse in Scott township
1t was taken from him and he was watched,
and at length tracked to human body on
the farm of a Mr.. Taylor. The bh had
nearly all disappeared, but the clothing was
recognized by his poor widow and friends, as
that of Morrison. He was good mason,
and has done large amount of work in this
city. Whiskey! these are thy doings!

ATTEMPTED SUIc1DE.-A young lady, of
about 20, living about mile from this vii
lage, attempted selfdestruction on Tuesday
night of this week, by shooting herself with
a pistol. The ball entered her body near the
pit Of the stomach. She is yet alive, but in
very critical state. Her recovery is doubt
ful. She is stranger, having lately come
into this neighborhood from Canada. She
says her motive was to kill herself; that her
father is very wealthy; that he attempted to
constrain her, against her will, to marry an
elderly man who was disgusting to her; that
to avoid the disagreeable and revolving con-
summation of her fathers design, she fled
from home, and finally, in desperation, at
tempted to rid herself Of all trouble by death.

Nor ALL FABLE.-A young man once
picked up a sovereign lying in the road. Ev-
er afterwards as he walked along, he kept his
eyes fixed steadily on the ground, in hopes of
finding another. In the course of long life,
he had picked up, at different times, a good.
ly number of coins, gold and silver. But all
these years while he was looking for them,
he saw not that the heavens were bright
above him, and nature beautiful around. He
never once allowed his eyes to look up from
the muck and filth in which he sought for
sordid treasures.

The MAN THAT WOULDN'T PAY HIS FARE.
Tho authenticity of the following "river
item" is vouched for by a gentleman who was
an eye witness to it. 1t appears that new
second clerk had just been engaged by tho
steamer in question, who was anxious to please
and accordingly determined to distinguish
himself by rigid discharge of his duties on
his first trip. When he entered the engine
room, ON his collecting tour, he found seated
there number of men, all apparently belong.
ing to the troublesome class Of "deckers.
Approaching one Of them who was arrayed
in checkered shirt and an old white hat,
the clerk demanded his fare. The fellow ap-
peared at first somewhat confused, but final
ly very seriously proceeded to inform the
clerk, in an Elegant brogue," that he had
no money. The latter, naturally indignant
at this palpable attempt to practice on bis in
nocence, demanded how he expected to trav-
ell on a steamboat without money. The man
answered imploringly: "Shure and mebby
yer honor would be kind enough to let poor
man ride few miles for nothing" His hon
or however was not to be blarneyed. He
was convinced that the fellow had money,
and presisted in his demands, the other re-.
peated protestations and entreaties. After
affairs had been in this posture for some min
utes, the refractory passenger picked up astick
and touched the cock of the boiler. "Stop
thatw thundered the clerk, "the engineer
will throw you overheard if he catches you at
thatw The fellow desisted, with great SEEM
ing contriton, and the clerk, determined to
waste no more words on him, collared him,
and led him forward to the captain. "Cap-
tain," said he, 81 wish you'd land to put
this fellow ashore; he has no money, or if he
has, he won't pay" To his amazement the
only reply was vociferous peal of laughter.
He loosed his hold, and looked at the captain
for an explanation of this novel mode of treat
ing such a communication. "Why," said
the latter, about dying with laughter, he's
the engineer" Missouri Democrat.

FALL OF SURPENsIoN BRIDGE.-The
Genesee Suspension Bridge, at the Lower
Falls, Rochester, fell on Tuesday morning,
about o'clock, leaving scarce a vestige be-
hind to mark the spot where it stood. The
immediate cause of the disaster was the i'm
mense accumulation of dense snow during
Monday and Monday night. The body of
snow was perhaps one foot in depth, and each
square foot, no doubt, weighed thirty pounds.
Careful estimates, made from reliable data,
fix the total weight of snow on the bridge
when it fell at not less than one hundred and
twenty tons and some estimate as high as one
hundred and fifty tons. This bridge was
some 200 feet above the water. 1t was up
wards of 900 feet long, and about twenty
feet wide. 1t was made passable for teams
in June or July last, but has never been con-
sdered as finished structure, and has never
been formally accepted by the city. The
city has expended 23,244.l3 to contractors
and Others and has now to contest suit with
the contractors for further sum Of some
three or four thousand dollars, which they
claim for extra work.

A couple of Yankee girls put bull-frog
in the hired mans bed, to see if they could
not get him to talk. Daniel threw the frog
out of the window, and never said word.
Soon after he put half bushel of chesnut
burrs in the girls bed, and about the time he
thought they would make the least shadow,
Daniel went to the door and ratified the latch
furiously. Out went the light and in went
the girls, but didn't stick, though the burrs
did. Calling them, he begged them to be
quiet, for he only wanted to know if they had
seen anything of that pesky bull-frog-he'd
gin two dollars to find him."

FOR TOBACCO LOVERS.


Chewing in the parlor,
Smoking in the street,
Choking with cigar smoke
Every one you meet
Splitting on the pavement,
Splitting on the floor,
Is there such enslavement?
Is there such bore
Declare the thing curse,
And when gents come to WOO,
You "pop the question" first
"Sir, do you smoke or chew?"
Mark well each word or look,
And if they don't say no,
Just cross them off your book,
And tell them why you do.
Some gents will carry spice,
Some cinnamon or cloves;
Make good use of your eyes,
And good use of your nose;
For when the wedding day is DER,
Perfumes they throw away,
They spit upon the floor,
They smoke and chew all day.
Does lover promise
To quit the weed for you?
See he has firm bump,
And conscientious too.
IF you're no phrenologist,
lie: time the truth make clear,
And wait until he resists
Temptation for year.

PoLITICAL PREACHING IN THE OLDEN
TIME.-A correspondent of the Petersburg
Express, writing from Warenton, N. c.,
about recolectons of Quankey parish, near
there, says: The last royal clergyman who
officiated in that parish was named Taylor.
Upon the meeting of the Wings in Halifax,
on the 4th of April, l777, for the purpose of
placing the country in military organization,
parson Taylor became very active in opposi-
ton to measures adopted, and took occasion
to preach very severe sermon on the sub
ject of disloyalty to the king, and against
rebellion; animadverting in strong terms on
the movement of the Wings. Nothing was
said by the audience at the time-not muir
mur of disapprobation was heard; but on the
next sabbath, as the reverend tory ascended
to the pulpit, he was startled to find gourd
of tar and small bag Of feathers placed
there by way of hint. The hint was taken
in all its significance; the parson descended,
left the church, and very soon emigrated to
some more congenial region. 1t is certain
he never preached at Quaukey chapel again.

ES- Sir Walter Scott never wrote truer
words than these-none that are better fitted
to bind the human family in the ties of broth
erhood: "The race of mankind would per-
ish did they cease to aid each other. From
the time that the mother binds the child's
head till the moment that some kind assist
ant wipes the death-damp from the brow of
the dying, we can not exist without mutual
help. All, therefore, that aid have right
to ask it of their fellow mortals. No one
who holds the power of granting can refuse
without guilt.

KANsAs.-The Black Republican journals
are making great flourish Of trumpets over
the fact that the /" free State" men have elect
ed the Mayor of Leavenworth City, Kansas,
by handsome majority, asserting that that
place has heretofore been the headquarters
of border rufhanism." Does not this re-
suit show that the niggerite statements are
unfounded as to the refusal to allow Stree
State" men to vote? Does it not show there
is not the slightest difficulty in the way of a
free State" man voting9 And does not it
show-what we have often asserted-that, if
the free State" men shall vote for constitu-
tional convention delegates-as vote they can
without molestation or hindrance-they will
carry the Territory by a large majority, and
thus surely pave the way for Kansas becom-
ing free State?
