TALE OF TERRoR-The following rather
marvellous story is told by one Of the Vienna
journals: As farmer of Orsinovi, near that
city, was returning from market, he stopped at
roadside public house, and imprudently showed
the innkeeper a large sum of money which he had
received. In the night the innkeeper, armed
with pOniard, stole into the farmers chamber,
and prepared to stab him; but the farmer, who,
from the mans manner at supper, conceived suspl-
cion of foul play had thrown himself fully dressed,
on the bed without going to sleep, and being
powerful man he wrested the ponlard from the
other; and usifg it against, laid him dead at his
feet. A few moments after, he heard stones
thrown at the window, and voice, which he re-
cosnized as that Of the innkeeper's son, said -
L" The grave is ready" This proved to him that
the father and son had planned his murder, ard to
avoid detection, had intended burying the dead
body at once. He thereupon wrapped the dead
body in a sheet and let it down from the window {;
he then ran to the gendarme and stated what had
occurred. Three gendarmes immediately ac-
eompanied him to the house, and found the young
man busily engaged in shoveling earth into grave.
- What are you burying?" SAID they. "Only
horse, which has just dIed"' "YOu are mlsta-
ken,' answered one of them, jumping into the grave
and raising the corpse, Look ~ and he held up
lantern to the face of the deceased. Good GOd.'
cried the young man, thunderstruck, sit Is my
father" He was then arrested and at once con-
fessed all.

No FLATTERY.-A curious incident occurred at
one of the prayer meetings down town last week.
An unctuOus brother, who. it appears, is a kind
of outdoor clerk for of the lottery swindles
situated in a Broadway basement not far from the
Park, and who has been long noted as one OF the
hardest characters after chuckling out in nasal
spasns general confession of his sins, and ex-
ulting over his curious conversion" besought the
prayers Of the assembly in his behalf.
Ills request was Immediately complied with by
younger brother, who seemed we'll posted on the
past career and the present mode OF life OF the
oily ''convert."
This gentleman instantly set up fervid prayer
in behalf of Brother l. He Immediately
implored for mercy for the corpulent sinner, al
though, as he averred, brother LIS long life
of fraud extended beyond the reach of mercy that
was not infinite in its nature" Brother l.
rather WINGED at this literal compliance with his
solicitation, but quite regardless OF this, the
scathing supplicator went on Thou knowest,
he proceeded ''that no sinful wretch stands in
greater need Of mercy than Brother l.! For
give him for his robbery of the widow and the
poor forgive him Of his long life of fraud Turn
his heart this day from lusting after the nefarous
profits of the policy business! Awaken him to a
knowledge of the snfulness of false pretenses, and
the purchase of stolen goods and inspire him with
determination to pay his debts!'
Quite a lively alteration ensued outside 8 few
minutes afterwards, between Brother L. and
the gentleman who had prayed so pOintedly IN his
behalf, which would probably have terminated un-
pleasantly but for the interference OF policeman

SAUCE FOR THE GANDER.-A legal decision, in
which all the gentler have the prOfOundest
interest. has been lately made in Germany. 1t is
nothing less than the right of the married woman
to the nviolabity of the seal upon letters address,
ed to her The case itself was very droll. A hus-
band had sued for a divorce, and had obtained it,
on the ground of in6delity, which conclusive
ly proved by letter from the lover. But the un-
daunted wife Immediately turned upon the hus-
band, and sued him for opening letter addressed
to her And the court decided in her favor, and
fined the husband This is sort of declaration
of female independence which may have serious
consequences. 1t implies that the husband and
wife are not one. Upon the whole, therefore, We
may believe the Westphalian Judges to have been
wise men. For if the opening of wife's letter
may lead to divorce, where would the opening of
husbands probably lead to!

y IRA Aldridge, the celebrated negro tragedian,
known as the African ROscius, short time since
met with rather funny adventure. which turned
his tragedy into a side-splitting farce. He was
performing star engagement at Perth, Hungary,
and the Merchant of Venice the play. The
ssAfriean Roscius'' as ShylOck, had, rs usual.
whitened his dusky skin, and had put on false
nose of peculiarly long and crooked Oriental
pattern. In the midst of the trial scene, through
the heat and excitement of the action, the false
proboscis dropped of. and the fiat stumpy negro
nose stood out like ink spot from its white sur
rouudings. The laughter that followed may be
''better imagined than described as the reporters

Col. BentOn's Opinion of the Authorship of
Junius.o

In the forthcoming volume of Col. Benion's
" Abrdgemept," there is the following note to
speech of Mr.. Randolph, in which Mr.. Randolph
spoke of a repetition by Junius" " of remark of
Lord Chatham. If the puzzle is not yet solved of
the authorship of Junius, this terse and vigor-
Gus summing up of the theories is Enthusiastically
characteristic of the Thirty Years Senator"
and Eot unworthy of either the real or here sup
posed author of the celebrated letters
"When the author of this abrdgement (says
Col. Benton) was ten years old, which was in the
last decade borrowing Livy's division Of time in
the expresSlOn of the last century, and before en-
lightened writers had thrown darkness on the au-
thOrshlp of Junlus, it well conceded that there
was but one man in England or the world, who
united in himself all the qualities of head, heart
and temper, all the incidents of political and per-
sonal life, which the writing of these letters re-
qulred but one man who had such power to drive
the English language, such knowledge OF men and
things, such lofty and daring spirit, such induce
ment TO publish his thoughts and conceal his name,
an oratorical fame already so great as to set him
above the assumption of that of Junus, great it
was. That one man was Lord Chatham, then old
and out of favor with the King and dominant par
ties; relegated (by his peeragel to that Hospital
of lncurables,' the House of Lords. when no pat
riot voice could reach the Commons of England !;
retired to his country seat at Hayes, and all visit
ors shut out discOntented, despairng, restless.
and seeing way to reach the people but through
the press, and by means of appeals bold to auda-
city, patriotic to temerity, and the more impressive
because shrouded in the mystery of an unknown
origin. So stood Lord Chatham and Junius in the
latter part of the century in which they lived,

q An Indiana man was travelling down the

The Committee on Slavery, Of the Maine
Legislature, have made their report accom-
panied with some excellent and pointed re-
solves. The Resolves assert that Maine is de-
voted 10 the Constitution and the Union.
and demand Of the national administration
a return to the principles on which the con
stitution was framed, and by which alone
the Union can be preserved. They assert
that the Missouri Compromise WAS n com
Iact The breaking of which received the I'M
iversal condemnation of the Legislature and
pcople-that the late territorial government
in Kansas presents record of villainy and
violence which is unparalleled in Modern
history, the object Of which is to prevent
trcemen and free principles getting foot
hold there-That the recent message of the
President is a Justification OF tie history of
Kansas, libel upon the free PEOPLE of the
territory, deep disgrace to ~ American
name. and to the Office once filled by Wash
ington-That the Presidents astounding as
sertion that Kansas is at this momen, rs
much slave state as Georgia Or South Car
olina, is monstrous her,sy-That since
the President persists in calling Kansas q
state, tie people of Maine demand with
drawal of the federal army and the federal
territorial Governor, and infamous Judiciary
that the ''Statc of Kansas" may BE- left Ike
Georgia or South Carolina to tho govern
mont of State officers and the protection
Of a "State" malitia-rhat the Lecomrton
constitution was conceived in fraud and
brought forth in defiance Of popular opinion,
and that Maine enters her solemn protest
against the stupcn ious swndle-That if that
constitution shall be forced upon Kansas,
the people will be Justified in resisting it at
all hazards, and to the last extremity; and
in SO righteous struggle the people of
Maine are ready to aid by sympathy and &c
ton.
These resolutions are pointed and spirited,
meeting the just expectations Of the people,
and coming square up to their views. They
will meet with hearty and sympathetic re-
sponse from the rcoplc of Maine.
