head was flat; the mouth being sew

like goggles. No physician who

/ A SAD HoNEYMooN,~-Charles Al
baugh was recently tried, convicted
and sentenced in Cleveland, Ohio
for robbing the mail. The Colum
bus (Ohio) Gazette says:
| Charles Albaugh is only twenty
years Of age, and the events of the
past few months will fill an impor
tant chapter in his life's history. On
Christmas day he eloped with his
landlords daughter, a Miss Ger.
man, in her sixteenth year, went tc
Alexandria, Penn, aud was mari,
| ed An effort was made to' keep
tie affair secret, but it was discov-
cred by the girls parents, who
| were highly incensed at their daugh.
ter's lmprudence.
On the 2Sth Of January, Mr..
Prentiss, the y. S. Mail Agent,
arrested Albaugh upon charge Of
|robbing the mail. He was taken
to Cleveland, tried, convicted and
sentenced before the United States
Court, and upon reaching Carding-
ton, on Ills way to the Penitentiary,
the young wife came aboard the
cars to bid farewell to her convict
husband. The meeting was pain
fully affecting one. She begged
him to keep up his spirits, to make
a firm resolve to do his whole duty
while in prison. She vowed to stick
to him though all the rest of the.
world should torsake him for, said
she, ''Charley, we are both young;
we have years Of happiness in store
for us, and when your time has ex~.
pired, wecan 90 to some other land
where the offense will not be known.
where We can live happily together
and earn all honest livelihood.
The poor girl Snerved herself to1
the task, and as she wiped the tears
away from the checks Of her young
Lus band, she never whimpered.
The car was full Of passengers,
who witnessed the scene with tear
ful emotions. Tie conductor, who,
at the request Of the officers, had
kindly delayed q few moments, to
give the young couple an vpportu-
nifty Of meeting each other, at last
notified them that be could delay
no longer, and the whistle gave
notice that the cars were about
starting. Keep: up your courage
like a man, Charley, said the fair
herGlne, and as she kissed his cheek
she turned to leave him; but over
powered by her feelings, that she
bad thus far kept under control, she |
fell fainting in the arms Of the by
standers, who carried her gently |
INTO the station house, and the cars |
rolled over the rails with increased |
speed, to makeup for the detention. |

We stated week before last, that Gen.
BURNS said by his votes in Congress, that
Kansas might come into the Union as a
Slave State with but MirtyJfue thousand
inhabitants, but that if she preferred com
ing in as Free State, she must wait un-
til her inhabitants number ninety thousand
souls. If this is not true why is she not
now State? Because this very clause in
the Bill English Swindle, which they have
just rejected, keeps her out. Had the
people of Kansas accepted the bribe held
out to them in that Bill, they could have
come into the Union with population of
$4,000 inhabitants, but having rejected it,
they must wait till they have ninety
thousand. Now we ask in all conscience
of The freemen of this State, why this dis
elimination between Free and Slave States
should be made? Was such rule ever
heard of before? Never, never! Is it right,
is it just? No man will say that it Is,
though many. for the sake of the party, will
vote for BURNS bitter as the pill is.

Something Remarkable:

For the first time in the history of Con-
gressional elections in this county, is man
before the People asking to be reelected
to Congress, who cannot and does not, or
his friends for him, claim any merit for
what he did while there. That man is
Gen. JOSEPH BURNS. No, if you listen to
the arguments of his friends for week,
or read their papers through from beginning
to end, you hear no word spoken, or see
none, in praise of single vote he gave or
anything else that he did whilst there
No, but on the contrary, they would glad
ly smother the part he took in last winters
Legislation. 1t don't suit them now, and
they attempt to deny what they confessed
to and denounced as bitterly as any body,
at the time these votes wsre cast, and when
they thought the Gen.would neyer be a can
didate again! Party with them is stronger
than principle or conscience, and they sus-
tain BURNS while hating themselves for it.
! Amt this so?
