Martin Il. Morris and Extra John Pat.
Why thsy we're mot Rs-nominssed.
Two State officers were not reconstructed
by the Republicans simply because charges.
though false, had been made against them.
-GaSete.
So "the cat is let out Of the bag" at
last. W. have the admission Of our
republican contemporary that its party
would have re-nominated Martin l..
Morris and Extra John Pattee if they
had not been atraid to do so. They
knew OF the frauds and pe~culations of
these two rulers Of the public purse;
but they would have placed them in
nomination for the same offices which
they now hold had not the charges
against them been made public. So
long as the knowledge Of their trans
actions was confined to a few wire pull
lcrs who were interested in the success
of the frauds, they did not care but
would have rcnOminated them, if their
doings had not begun to be whispered
about.
The Gazeth has inadvertently told
the truth. The leaders of the Icpubli-
can party in State Convention, refused
to nominate Morris and Pattee, not be-
cause, they had improperly and IN
faithfully discharged their duties; but,
because 1t was hnown. If the party
had possessed the ability to clear up
the charges against these two officers,
they would not have hesitated to give
them each a second term. The o.
zette will some day ruin the Republican
party.

THE ToMBs or PAUL AND ViRGISfA.-A cor
respondent of the Baltimore american, wri-
ting from the Island Of Mauritius on the
2sth of March, says:
After leaving the church we proceeded
to tie cemetery, where we were both
pleased and interested. Almost without
exception the tombs were ornamen.ed with
beautiful flower vases, with some character
istic.. device, and in many of the vases were
bouquets OF fresh and fragrant flowers. We
We're struck with the attention paid to the
resting place of the departed how differ
ent from many, too many of our own, where
we see them neglected and going to decay.
This, in all aspects, looks like what it is in
tended, a sacred spot.
After examining many of the tombs,
vaults, DC, We got into a carriage and pro-
ceeded further On until We came to IA gate,
which consisted Of two posts with a pole
across, where we alighted. The first thing
that met our view was a small sign, upon
which was written the words-"lt is ex-
pressly forbidden to see the tombs of Paul and
Virginia This, however, did not stop us.
We crossed the pole and went to a house
some distance off, where we enquired for
the place the tombs were situated, and were
very discourteously told that they were be.
hind the house. We started for the place,
guided by one of the servants, sent proba-
bly, to watch us. We passed along a mar
row canal like a stream of water, for about
100 yards, when we came to one Of the
tombs (Pauls)a small brick monument,
about four feet high, plasterei over. Near
this tho canal +nrpnl - tha cbar 70 81 n bo.,.

tomb, in all respects similar to the other
They are about forty feet apart. The spot
is IA romantic and beautiful one, and could
one believe the story and look upon this
spot he must have a truly hard heart not to
he affected by it. We remained about half
al hour in and about the tombs, and al
though closely watched, one of the party
succeeded in getting a piece of mortar off
and pocketed it.
The archives of the government here tell
a different story from the tale written of
Paul and Virginia. 1t amounts to this
That a young Frenchman and his sweet
heart eloped and got on board a vessel
bound for this place, before they coul ID get
II carried. Upon arriving at theIsland, a
terrible storm arose and the vessel was
wrecked. Paul could have saved Virginia
if she had been willing to remove her cloth
ing, but this she refused to do; and, as he
would not leave her, both of them were
drowned. When last seen on the vessel
they We're clasred in each others arms, and
when their bodies were found they were in
the same position, on the beach, more than
half covered with sand. Such is the story
on record, aud | think it by far the most
likely one

A LUCKY BRiDEcRooM.-It will be remem-

The facts are somewhat amusing and ro-

hand OF one of the daughters Of Westfeld
with continuous disappointment. 1t hap.
pened that both were at a picnic, and amid
the other pleasures, some one suggested. in
sport, that I'VE have a wedding" The Ia

lover with a %jocose invitation to join hands,
and a magistrate, who also fills the Office Of

Dr.. Franklin ABETIING AN ELopEMENL.-
At a recent meeting of the Pennsylvania
Historical Society, the talented and efficient
corresponding secretary, Horatio G.. Jones
Esq, read a letter written by DR.. Joseph X
Swift, of Easton, Pa, relating a curious in
cident in the life Of Boston's noble son, Ben
jarnin franklin:
The celebrated painter Benjamin West
before he became known to fame, fell ir
love with Miss Elizabeth Shewell. West
was poor, the Shewells were rich. Stephen
Shewell, the proud father of Elizabeth, de
sired her to marry another sutton, which
she refused to do. West was forbidden the
house, but Elizabeth continued to meet him,
and they were engaged to be married.
The obstinate brother kept his sister I'M
der lock and key, till West sailed for Eu-
rope to prosecute his studies. Miss She
well, however, had promised to meet him
in any part of Europe, and marry him, as
soon as Mr. w. informed her of his ability
to maintain her.
The patronage which West met in Lon
don soon justified him in sending for NJ IS
Shewe!l to fulfill her promise. He made
arrangements for her to come in the same
vessel that conveyed his request to her, and
also arranged that his father should accom-
pany her on the voyage.
Miss shewell prepared for her departure;
but her brother again confined her to her
chamber. In this state of things, the late
Bishop White then about eighteen years Of
age, DR.. Franklin, ffty-nine years Of age,
and Francis Hopkins, Twenty-Five years Of
age, when the vessel was ready to sail, pro-
cured a rope ladder, went to the captain
and engaged him to sail as soon as they
brought n lady on board, took old Mr.. ives,
to the ship. and went at midnight to Ste
phen Shewells house. attached the ladder
to a window in Miss Shewelps chamber, got
her out and to the vessel. which sailed a
few minutes after she entered it. Mr.. w
was in waiting for Miss Shewell when she
arrived in England, and they were soor
married-September 2, 1865. Neither o.
them ever returned to this country. Ste
phen Shewell never forgave his sister, and
although she made many efforts to concili
ate him, he refused all communication with
