A SAD MIsHAp.-An accident occurred
in our city on Sunday by which W. lost
a useful and respected citizen. Mr..
Luke Florence, in company with three
friends, was riding in a carriage late in
the evening, and coming up Main street,
the driver attempted to strike adog with
his whip at the request of one of the
gentleman in the carriage. In doing
so he lost balance and fell from his seat,
and, taking fright, the horses started off
at a furious speed. Three of those inside
succeeded i'll jumping out unframed,
but poor Florence, in attempting to do
so as thought, was dashed to the ground
with such violence as to fracture his
skull, besides other injuries received in.
the breast by the wheels of the vehicle.
He only survived a few moments after
the fall. About two months since, Flo
renee was thrown from a buggy and
dangerously hurt, from which he had
not yet recovered. He leaves behind
him a bcreaved wife and a large circle
of devoted friends who will mourn his
loss with unaffected sorrow. He was a
generous man, and a worthy member of
the fraternity of Odd Fellows.-Baton

Ba;g= Col. Allsop. the Englishman sus-

BsT Col. Allsop, the Englishman sus-
pected of a completely in the recent
attempt upon the life of the Emperor
Napoleon, it is now positively ascer-
tanned by the Journal ofConmcrce, was
snugly secreted in New York city for a
month before any suspicion of his pres
encc crcpt into the newspapers. He had
hidden in a house in Worth street, known
only to a few trusty friends. When this
become known, the enemies of dcspotism
projected a public meeting to demand
protection for him, but the Colonel, pre-
crrlng seelusion, quietly left New York.
Both the British and French Govern
ments have offered liberal rewards for
his apprehension, and there are now in
New York three French detectives. and
four or five British, in pcrsuit of him.
They found cut his hiding place and
knew all his movements. Their first
notion was to kidnap and carry him off
secretly, but this was abandoned, and
while they were waiting for the ncces-
sary papers to arrest him, he decampcd.
Information Of Allsop's Judgment was
communicated to the New York police
by the British Consul. The Pittsburg
papers mention a report that AIlsop is
there, and on Thursday a gentleman
called upon the Mayor, informed him of
the fact, and urged his arrest. The
Mayor declined to interfere.

Whistling girls and Growing hens
Always come to some bad end.

ooAAAS ~ 49,
In one ofthe curious Chinese books
recently translated and published in
Paris, this proverb occurs in substan-
TALLY the same words. It is. also an
injunction of the Chinese priesthood, and
a carefully observed household custom,
to xii! Immediately every hen that crows,
as a preventative against the misfortune
which the circumstance is supposed to
indicate. The same practice prevails
throughout many portions of the United
States.
We do not see why, if growing hens
are disposed of for fear of misfortune,
"whistling girls" should not also be
made the subject of visitation. They
are rather in high favor. Witness the
popularity Of the song, Whistle and
I'll come to you" A girl who can
whistle, has music in her of no common
kind, that is evident and the " bad end"
she comes to is, generally, to whistle
her way into some old bachelors bosom.
Pretty bad place, but a spot into which
a great many unprotected females"
would be most glad to find an asylum
particularly if it was accompanied with
4 fine suit Of rooms, and servants to
match ART Journal.

THE GREAT SPEECH OF SENATOR DOUGLAS.

The GREAT SPEECH OF SENATOR DOUGLAS.
The closing speech of Mr.. Douglas on
the Kansas Bill has not yet come to
hand. 1t is not reported at length in
any Of the Abolition papers of New York,
which have Of late patted him on the
back tits not published at Washington,
in pamphlet form, and it has not as yet
appeared in the. Globe, which contains
the official report of Congressional
debates. We are at a loss to guess
whether Mr.. Douglas isshimself suppress
ing it, or whether his newly found hostile
friends, the negro-worslipperss are do
ing that kind of unkind act forhim. At
any rate we intend to publish it. and
before long we will get hold Of a N
authentic report of it, and lay it befofe
our readers. 1t is well worth the space
it will occupy. The telegraphic synop-'
sis, which alone we have seen, indicates
that the speech itself contains senti-
ments which the people of Louisiana
ought to know.-Courier.

JOHN BOLIVAR VISITS a PH~RESoLoGIsr.-
John Bolivar, a correspondent of the
Saturday Evening Gazette, lately visited
a phrenologist. He writes:
It's a free instiution-flled with
dead heads" Professor wished to feel
of my head. Told me to uncover. Told
him to feel of it with my hat on.-That
hat was felt. then took it off He
examined my wig. Said he knew there
was something in my head-it was full
of life. He dwelt a long Time ON a bump
caused by the sidewalk falling against
it while I was taking my roommate
home from a primary election. Pro-
fessor said large bumps denoted great
inqu%isitiveness. Said had asearching
mind. Told me to search if l had a
quarter in my pocket. Called that ex-
perimental phrenology.
