A STRANGE SIMILARITY The Louisville Courier
three or four weeks ago gave complete report of
the reception of the Hon HUMPHREY MARSHALL,
at Louisville, which publish entire, since it so
nearly resembles the account given in the Cadiz
:Sentinel of the reception of Mr.. BINGHAM at Cadiz
We regret that we have not preserved the Sentinel
containing it, since there is such striking simi-
larity between the two articles. Here is the
CoHriers report:
Reception of the Hon. Humphrey Mar
shall at Louisville.
Roht. F. Baird made glorious speech. He
took his stand upon the wharf. and as the huge
form of Humphrey darkened his vision, he lifted
up his voice and spoke as follows:
Mr.. BAIRD's SPEECH.
Hon are you, ColOnelf
To this most touching and eloquent reception
Humphrey made the following appropriate and
fitting reply:
Mr.. MARsHALLs REPLY.
Ifor do you do, Bob?
These speeches were taken down as delivered,
by our special phonographic reporter, and they
may be implicitly relied upon. So soon as Mr..
Marshall finished his reply, he got into a carriage
and drove TO the Louisville HJte, leaving Mr..
Baird TO take charge OF himself. We sent down
TO the hotel soon afterwards to learn what was
going on and Mr.. Marshall was reported in bed
and asleep.
If you will just substitute BINGHAM for MAR
SAIL and LEwToN for BAIRD, you have the Sen
tiners article, with the slight difference of few
words changed TO suit circumstances.
Ii is perhaps due to the Sentinel man, 10 say
that he gave notice that the article in question
should have appeared in the Sentinel of Ae previ-
Gus week, but did not, on account of the non
arrival of the Courier. no doubt

A BLIND GIRL ''SEEING" A PLAY.-During
the performance Of "The Jewess," at the
American Theatre, San Francisco, a short
time ago, little girl attracted much atten-
ton by suppressed but violent sobbing. 1t
was thought at first that she was child
whose refined feelings were more susceptible
than those of Others, older and of more ex-
perience in the world, and that she looked on
the scene as real. Bn. that was not the cause
of her grief. Before loosing her sight, she
had seen the play, and hearing that it was to
be performed that night by Mrs. Hayne, she
desired to be taken to the theatre to "see it,"
Several times she whispered to her mother
--"There, remember that part; how ] do
wish could zee, but it's so dark!" When
the Jewess was about ascending to the caul-
dron, the child tried to look towards the
stage, but failing to penetrate the cartain
which hid the scene from herself alone, she
buried her face in h6r hands, and cried with
bitter vexaiion and despair All who knew
of the little girls misfortune shared in her
grief and disappointment, but they could not
see and feel the terrible shadows that hung
about her heart, dark as the plumes Of ra-
ven. What cheerless horizon is hers

Mrs. PKRRY.--1he followingis an extract
from letter written by Mrs. Perry to her
mother.in-law, after the death Of the Com
modore:
"'rhe ways Of God are dark and intricate
but they are doubtless just; my beloved
husband has gone from me, but he has left
a name TO his country and children that In
without stain; he was my guardian angle
on earth, and will, trust, continue one in
Heaven. Time may soften the anguish
now feel, but can never efface from o. heart
his virtues, his kindness, and his affection
towards me. My love aud repect for his
memory will always lend me to act as II no
were present with me. To his children
shall devote my future days; the world has
now lost its greatest charm, and look for
ward to, reunion that will be eternal and
imperishable. On me has devolved great
and impartant charge, and nv hrst PRAYER to
Heaven was for strength and discretion 90
to manage them as to make his children
useful and vrtuous members of society"

How TRUAET liUsBAsD WAS FouSD.-
The Bloomington Qllinois) Pantograph tells
good story fone of its citizens, who sought
after servant girl, and found one in the per-
son of his deserted wife:
"On Saturday, the 22d instant, Mrs. Mary
s. Rich, agent Of the aWoman's Protective
Emigration Society,"" arrived at the Western
depot from New York, in charge of between
seventy and eighty young women, some twen-
ty-fve or thirty Of whom were intended for
this place. Early in the morning married
man Of this city, went to the depot and In
quired for Mrs. Rich. The married man found
Mrs. Rich. The married man told Mrs. Rich
he wanted girl to do house work. Mrs.
Rich asked the married man who he was.---
The married man satisfied Mrs. Rich that he
was all right, and that the servan. girl would
be well treated in his family. Mrs. Rich then
asked the married man to walk into the room
where the young women were. The married
man walked into the room. Mrs. Rich told
the young ladies' that the married man wanted
girl TO do housework. One Of the young
ladies then walked up to the married man
and said. I'll go with this gentleman; I've
lived with him before; he's my husband r.
Somebody was very much astonished when
the young lady found her husband, and
another somebody looked very pale when the
married man found his wife,"

How TO CURE A CoLp.-An exchange
gives the following recipe:
An excellent remedy for cough caused
by common cold is rs follows: Take half
pint Of sharp vinegar, place in II m agg with
out being broken, allow IL to remain forty
eight hours, when it will be found that the
shell has been completely dissolved by tho
acid; then break up the egg in the vinegar,
add half pint of honey, which being well
mixed, will be ready for use. Take spoon

Your obedient servant,

The TIDE OF IMMIGRATToH.-It Is stated
that during the present year, the tide Of i'm.
migration to this country has greatly dimin-
ished. One of the foreign journals alluding
to the subject says
Although the crisis in Europe may cause
many, who have the means, to emigrate, the
same Influences will decrease the emigration
of the poorer classes, and prevent their rela-
tives in America from sending the passage
money for them over to Europe, as was fire..
quently done in former years. II must also
be considered that the European governments
already begin to feel the evil consequences
Of constant emigration, and are making
strenuous efforts to prevent the same; this Is
particularly true ofPrussia and Meek lenburg,
where the people are officially warned against
emigration to America, especially at the pre-
sent time. Emigration has already consid-
erably thinned the population in many parts
Of Europe, where labor is now in fair de-
mnnd and well paid.
The Stants Zeitung presumes, however,
thntif the number OF the emgrants be less
this year than last, those who do come will
be of better class than hitherto, and will
most of them land here with the determine
ton to engage in agricultural pursuits in the
West and the means 10 put their wishes into

stabbed on Fonrcher by masquerader He
was placed in cab to be conveyed to the

holding of m inquest.
A man was also shot on st. Thomas street
by a hummer, but we could not learn whe,h.

not.
A man residing op Craps street, in the
Third District, murdered his wife in freak
of passion or jealousy, and then committed
suicide. Inquests will be held on their bodies

an article Of dress so sensible as to deserve a

their masculine congenets. We observed

John Randolph said many wise things,
but perhaps no one better than this.
PAY as you CO." and you can walk the
streets with manly front, looking at men
in the eye without ilinching. You will not
have to cross the way to avoid dun, or look
into tho shop windows to avoid seeing a
creditor.
"Pay as you co." and when you laugh, it
will be right honest and hearty one.
"Pay as you 60" and when you sleep you
will not dream Of bills which you can't pay,
or wake up to credits which you cannot sup
port.
"Pay as you go,"-and your home will be
your home--happy, cheerful, eontented,

But last week, at Centralia, it was inndver-
tantly discovered that the good looking
newsboy was a girl (or woman) of some
twenty odd years of age. Her disguise had
never been suspected. She had travelled with
the other boys, played billiards, smoked Sc
gars, swore, and drank whiskey, us easily and
naturally as newsboy might be expected to
do. The reason of her disguise we do not

LATE HoURs.-At whatever period we go
to sleep, (says DR.. Comb,) one fact is certain,
that we can never with impunty turn day
into night. Even n The most scorching sea-
sons of the year, it is better TO travel under
the burning sunshine than in the cool of the
evening, when the dews are falling and the
air is damp. Two colonies in the French
army had dispute whether it was most safe
to march in the heat of the day or in the
evening. To ascertain this point, they got
permission from the commanding officer to
put their respective plans into execution
Accordingly, the one with his division
marched during the day, although it was in
The heat Of summer, and rested all night
The other slept in the daytime, and marched
during the evening and part of tho night
The result was, the firts performed journey
of 600 miles without losing single man or
horse, while the latter lost most Of his nor.
ses and several Of bis men.

PRIcE OF CorToS.-1he New Orleans Del.
e. of the 9Th inst, apeculating in regard to
the future price of Cotton, says:
Under the superabundance Of Money in
England, il has been supposed that Cotton
would be forced up to prices that ruled pre-
vious to the panic, but well-informed parties
say, in their private correspondence, that
England can get along very well with the
usual pro rata share Of the crop of the United
States, even II it does not exceed 2,700,000
bales. If such are the views entertained
generally throughout the manufacturing dis
tricts, the hopes Of any material advance over
present rates may ns well be aban-
doned. The stubborness of Mr.. Bull is
proverbial. At the same time, we can re-
mark that chance may force Midding up to
It'd, or l2ie. here, which will depend on
the weather, the two coming months (Nlarch
and Aprl,) throughout the Cotton region.
