John Dean and his Mary Ann.

John Dean, who married Miss Mary Ann
Boxer, has called upon the Editor of the
Brooklyn IN. w. Times, to depreciate the
unhandsome allusion to him, made in para
graph COPIED from Boston paper into that
Journal Mr.. Dean enjoys situation in the
New York Custom House, and resides with
his wife in pretty locality in Williamsburg
and is annoyed by those statements because
they rob him of that seclusion which he and
his wife are most anxious to make their own.
The paper in question says
Mr.. John Dean is not at all the offensive
fellow he has been pictured. On the contra
ry be is comely, smart looking, sober, well
dressed young man tit to pass muster any
where. His hair is black-nOt red, as tue
sensationist who penned the paragraph allud-
ed to states---and were it not for his accent,
he would pass for an American. Mr.. Dean
thinks there would not have been so much
said about him were it not that he is Irsh;-
but he could not help that if he would, and
would not it he could. Mr. Dean came to
Williamsburg in hopes of realizing that pr.
vacy for himself and his lady which, after the
unpleasant bruting of their names far and
wide, they felt it to be SO desirable but even
in this, it appears. he has thus far been disap-
pointed. At all events, we trust no respecta-
bic journal will, after this, give currency to
any offensive statement in relation to the
Deans, for really there is no warrant for any
thing of the kind.

A Terrapin AccOmmOd ating Himself to
Circumstances

The Louisiana Iberian expects us to believe
the following:
1t became necessary, few days since t6
pull down an old building in the vicinity o.
st. Mary's market, for the purpose of erecting
on its site one more roomy and suitable tc
the times. Accordingly, the workmen were
engaged and the work of demolishlnS went
on. When the basement had been reached
and the removing of the basement
sills had commenced, the workmen discovered
singular looking ANIMAL seemingly imbedd-
ed in one of the sills.
The attention of the whole party was then
directed to the spot when some one exclaim-
ed as the animal showed a broadside of huge
claws s'It's terrapn sure, and sure en-
ough it so proved to be, but of proportions
large as an ordinary sea turtle. But the
most wonderful portion of this story is to be
told. We said it was imbedded in one of
the sills This was not exactly the case, for
the sill was imbedded in its back, and has thus
held it captive for years. 1t must have some-
how or other caught itself under the sill
when quite small, for it had grown up nearly
the height of the sill on each side. leaving,
when it was extracted, "a fi.rrow down its back
lcng;.lwise a h III loot deep.
On> o. the workmen, in attempting to take
hold of it, had h S hand nearly torn 10 two by
one of its huge claws. 1t has tail about
five inches long, and "a genuine swapping tur-
tie head The probability is that this turtle
or terrapin is at least q quarter of a century
old, and has been, without doubt, under this
house, and in that position since its erection.
The mystery is what sustained life during
that time. The ground was quite damp
This curiosity, we leaan, has been preserved,
and is in the possession of one of the work
men.

"A Romantic MARRIAGE.

Quite romantic wedding took place at
Mazomina in this county last evening. The
groom was a returned Californian, who left
his wife for the auriferous land about seven
years ago; and the bride, the wife that was
left. Some time after he had reached Cali
tornia-a year or more-his wife received in
tclligence of his death. Two or three years
later she heard that the story of his death
was not true, but that he never intended to
return. Upon this, with the advice of friends,
she obtained divorce
Two or three days since the wanderer re-
turned and calledsupon his former wife. Old
affections revived, faith was pightcd anew,
and last evening he led her, blushing bride
to the altar for the second time. The happy
pair, thus repaired, proceeded forthwith to
the depot and took the evening train east on
their bridal Madison (Wis.,) Jour.

The Cable.
New YORK, Sept. 8, 1858,

New YORK, Sept. 8, 1888.
A communication from Mr.. Field says he
has received from New Fourdland a dispatch
informing him that, although the insulation
of the cable remains perfect, no message has
come over it for several days. The last mes
sage he received from E gland was dated
London, Sept. lst He is unable to state the
cause OF the cessation of messages, but con-
lectures that it is the change of the shore end
at. Valentia, which he was informed was
about to be done. When the Africn sailed
from Liverpool on the 2lst ult, it was known
that the connection between Prof. White
house and the Atlantic Telegraph Go. would
cease on or about the 1st OF September.
1t would therefore appear much more prob
able that the working of the Gable had ceas-
ed for six or eight days from the cause sug-
gested by Mr.. Field. 1t should also be
stated that Prof. Thomson was to succeed
Prof Whltehouse in series of experiments
upon the Cable, and although his system was
regarded by all practical teeeraphers in Eng
land as perfectly childish, it. is quite possible
that the present delay in transmitting in
telligence is attributed to Prof. rs. expert
mcnts.
1t was also known at the sailing of the
africa that the Directors, desparing of salts
factory results from the system of Profs.
Whitehouse and Thompson, had arranged
with Prof. Hughes to take charge Of the
electrical department of the Company's bus
iness, and it was expected that the Hughes
printing instruments would be placed at Trim
ity Bay and Valentia on or about the Goth
or 25th inst. and from the experiments made
at Plymouth, while the Cable was there
there is no reasonable doubt but that Prof.
II. will be able to transmit intelligence through
the cable reliably and at the rale of about
| 300 words per hour.

ago one Of his legs was amputated which

1t is a remarkable fact, that although he has
not seen the light, or aught for fifteen years,

gushing between the peculiar sounds of the
tread of different wagons.

Yet little while ard all this will have hap

A New Financial Regulator.

The United States Economist states that
some of the most sagaciOus OF the New York
merchants have required once more to the
idea of "a great regulator hot, however,
in the sense of regulator like the National
Bank, operating by charter, to control cred
its, but by applying stringent system to the
Credits and making money more valuable in
New York than elsewhere that is to say, to
proven, discounting on credits-to compel
banks to lend no more money than they have
got II they have S 100000 of capital,
and 100000 of money actually deposited
with them, they may lend 81, 100000, and
no more. They shall not be allowed to re-
turn that money to other parties, on the
ground of chance that the first borrower
may rot borrow it Immediately. II is believ-
ed that by the adoption of a system like this,
the great fluctuations in credits will be pre-
vented, and consequent steadiness in bus-
ness secured. 1t is supposed that a large con-
serva;ive specie bank would moderate the
prevalent antagonism between the bank in
terest and the commercial interests.

Life Scene in Utah Territory,

Holding office in Utah is no joke, and not
very dlgnifed, if this passage from the cor
respondence of the THINE is as true as it is
graphic
have seen the Governor of the Territory
walking gravely up the road toward his tents,
carrying piece OF stove funnel under each
arm. have seen the Chief Justice cutting
turf for a chimney, and punching the oxen
which were drawing logs to build his cahin /:
the Secretary of State splitting wood, ana
the United States Attorney ard Mar-hal plas-
tering the walls of their huts with mud. Y es-
terday saw one United States Commission
ers, stripped to the buff and riding on horse
back, plotting wagon through a ford across
the South Platte, while the other Commits
sioner having accomplished the passage, sat
upon corn sack on the opposite bank mend
ing rent in hls panlaloons. These pictures
may convince you that the civil offices, at
least, in connection with the Utah expedition,
are not snecures.

'Ehe Terminus of the Atlantic Gable,

All who have visited Trinity Bay, New
foundland, with one consent allow it to be
one Of the most beautiful sheets of water
they ever set eyes upon. Its color is very
peculiar-an inexpressible mingling of the
pure blue ocean with the deep evergreen
woodlands, and the serene blue sky. Its ex-
treme length is about eighty miles; its width
about thirty miles, opening boldly into the
Atlantic on the northern side of the Island
AT its southwestern shore it branches into
the Bay of Bulbs Arm, which is a quiet,
safe, and beautiful harbor about two miles
in breadth, and nine or ten in length, rum ing
in a direction northwest. The depth of wa.
ter is sufficient for the largest vessels. The
tide rises seven or eight feet, and the bay
terminates I'M beautiful sand beach. The
shore is clothed with dark green fr-trees,
which mixed with the birch and mount ain
ash, present pleasing contrast.

Some queer revelations are sometimes
made in the courts. In Philadelphia, a suit
was brought to recover $634 for engraving
plates for a work called "Kane's Arctic Ex.
pedition." The evidence showed that Kane
had nothing to do with the book, and that
it was, in fact, cheat throughout. 1t was
proved that an engraving of a picture repre-
sentnc the "Advance' as stuck fast in the
ice was copied from an old picture in the life
OF Captain Lewis Cook, with the exception
of the ice, which was put in according to fan
CIV; that the portrait of "Sontag,' one Of
kanes officers was copi-d from the likeness
Of an old highwaymcn in the Police Gazette,
and the occuiation of Saturn from an old ge-
ography, &c. The book, nevertheless, gave
immense satisfaction to the public who
bought thousands of copies. The jury made
the put fishers pay.

Foreign News by the Asia.

HALIFAX, Sept. 8.
The steamship Asia, Capt Lott, from Liv-
erpoo, Saturday, Aug. 28th, arrived at this
port en- route for Boston, at an early hour
this morning.
A prospectus had been issued in England
for telegraph to China and Aus raa
Lord Palmerston had paid visit to the
Emperor Napoleon.
1t is rumored that the French government
had demanded an explanation from the Brit
sh Cabinet, relative to the bombardment of
Djedda.
There was doubtful report in circulation
that Naples had accepted the conditions of
the western powers.
1t was stated that the amount of indemni-
ty to be pad by China to England and France
is three million francs.
The Daily .N'ews calls on European powers
to watch closely the American designs on
Nicaragua, under the conviction that il is the
policy Of the American Government to ac-
quire possession of the Isthmus.
FRAyCE.-Pelllsier's recall from the Am
bassadOrship to London is expected soon, at
his own request. The French Government,
anticipating the possibility of more outrages
on Christians in consequence OF the lombard
ment of Djedda, were about to increase the
naval force on the Mediterranean.
SPAIN.-Madrid kilograms state that a
military expedition is preparing for Havana.
Turkey is said to have complained to the
English Ambassador Of the bombardment of
Djedda, when it was known that Ismacl Pa
scha was en- route thither, with full power to
punish the guilty.
1t was reported that further riots had oc-
Cured in Gambia, and that ten Christians had
fallen.
LONDON, Saturday, by telegraph from NAL
ia. Bombay dates are to August 4th. No
thing of Importance had occurred. The Brit
ish troops were chiefly engaged in harassing
the rebels in Dude. Many of the chiefs who
have not compromised themselves are sur
rendering to the authorities The rebels who
are proved to have been deeply implicated
are being executed.
CHINA.-Dates from Tien Sing are to June
18th. Great progress had been made in the
negotiations, and it was considered that the
allies were on the eve of treaty.
The news is not so late as that via Russia.
The Americans and Russians had concluded
treaties, and the former are believed to have
stipulated for ain annual visit to Pekin. The
commission at Canton was urging the peo-
pie to war and ignored the negotiation at the
North

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ..
Receipts into the Treasury last week were
nearly $Sl,682,OO0, an increase over the pre-.
vous week of $255,OOO. The amount on
deposi. is $s14, 100000, of which $40, l23, 900

The Secretary Of the Treasury issued new
general regulations, in which he says that no
subordinate officer Of the customs can be re-
moved or appointed without his sanction In
competency or neglect of duty is reported
for consideration and action. Hereafter, in
all cases where parties allege to have claims
for the return OF duties paid in, and for le-
gal eXactions or otherwise, the applications
must be made directly tc the Treasury De-
partment by the owner or importer.
The Secretary also directs that the value
of sugar imported from Cuba be ascertained
and appraised without reference to packages
in which, contained, whether boxes or hhds.,
and to this value shall be added the cost Of
the packages.
