A PIECE OF RAscAL1rY.-One Of the most
outrageous and yet successful efforts OF ras.
cality was brought to light, in New York, on
the 31st ult.:
1t appears that a sharper in Philadelphia
advertised tor d number of young ladies to &c
South to fill situations as teachers of music.
Fifteen young women were accepted by the
advertiser.
They were to have remunerative employ
ment in the families Of wealthy Southern
planters, and in every respect their future
prospects were of the most latteriug descrip-
ton.
1t was simply stipulated by the advertiser
that the ladies should defray in part their
expenses TO their respective destination. On
arriving IN New York en- route for the South,
the sharper took charge Of the baggage OF the
ladies. collected from them about $3.50 for
their fare in the steamship. and while they
were waiting patiently at the hotel for him
to conduct them on board: he d%ecamped with
his plumber.

The OPPOSITION T,cKET.-As the time

the Opposition State Ticket, there is a z eat
shaking among the weak-kneed democrats
and the dry bones of that old organization -
On Monday the ticket will be perfected and

that it will be all that can he expected from
it. There are thousands of voters in this
State who bitterly detest the present demo-
cratic State ticket and the despicabIe method
by which it was ushe1ed into existanve, and
who only await a fair opportunity to express
that detestation in fitting terms at the ballot
box in November next. From the depths Of
our charitable heart we pity the S}ideIlians
that proper vengeance is about o~vertaking
them, and for one, shall endeavor to make
their defeat fall as lightly upon them as we
possibly can. If in their cherries excursion
ur Salt River, next November, they shall re-
quire our conso'iny company. nothing will
afford us greater pleasure than to escort and
see them safely landed there. Stand from
under when that ticket comes out!

How BLoNDlN CARRIED THE Man OVER.
The name of the individual carried over the
Niagara on Blon@in's back is Harry MoIcard.
He is Blondln's agent. He is every way a
larger man than Blondin, who is rather slen-
der, and not tall. Molcard has not been ac-
customed to the rope, but he has such, conf
dence in Blondin tn. t he resolved to venture.
When BIondin started on the return he had
tied on each side of his thighs a semi-circular
piece of iron; these supported the legs of
Molcard, and balanced the weight of his
body. Blondin said the cause of his stopping
so often on his return was, that the strap
which held the balancing pole, being covered
with wooden, rubbed the back of his neck
and made it very sore. He says be talked to
Molcard all the time they We're on the rope
and thus they cheered each other on. There
was a rope tied to the waist of each, and it
was arranged that if either fell, the other was
to throw himself on the opposite side of the
rope.

Almost dali some new heart-rending and
sickening account of the result OF the late

describing scenes in Italy after the war, says
that over two thousand limbs have been am
putated. I'm many cases both the lower limbs
have been removed by the surgeons, and it

to young ladies'. A young girl, who was
quite a belle, and very beautiful, was in the

wing her good looks. During her customary
nightly ablution, recently, the campbine
took fire from a lamp burning on her toilet

draws 4 feet of water when loaded, and is
