horses once around the track, then trot once

The Most virvuous Woman in France

From the Paris Correspondence Of the London star
The great annual prize show of the Nrtu-
Gus Women came of at Surcsnes with great
eriat. To those who had heard few days
ago the praise of virtue pronounced III the
stiff, pedantic oratory Of NJ. Guizot, it was
quite relief to hear it soothcl, encouraged,
and requested to call again, ~ it were, III
the boneyed accents of the Archbishop OF
Paris. Although the weather was anything
hut inviting, crowds went by the railway
from Paris TO behold this ever precious aud
delightful sight, and rs feilow-travclicr
informed me, with the greatest bonhomm'e,
even those who had seen the Nirtuous W0-
man before were only too glad 10 be able to
show the sight 10 others At three o'clock,
the scrutiny took place within the church.
The Nirtuuus Woman was proclaimed, and
was crowned with roses by the Archbishop,
who was really much more lenicnt towards
her for being virtuous than VI. Guzot
would have been. His eminence gave a
long allocution in favor of virtue, wherein
he exhibited to the light all the good points
of the woman's virtue, showing how she
first came by it lin this case by inheritance
her mother had possessed it, then how
she had nsintained lt-by never frequent
ing the Sunday balls, and never reading
romances, &c. The village, however, de-
clared with one voice that there were other
reasons for not reading romances, as the
elect one had not learned 10 read at all. 1t
was a great comfort, however, TO such vain
and pucrle people of the world as those
who had hocked in fine clothes by the rail-
way TO Suresnes, to see that virtue was tor
once rewarded with something else besides
fue speeches, even from an Archbishop
Three dozen goodly covers of solid silver
with five hundred francs n money to the
most virtuous girl in the commune, and one
dozen spoons and two hundred francs to the
second best, gave one a pleasant feeling OF
the perfect justice with which virtue at Sn-
resnes is properly weighed out and valued.

Southern Anti-Douglas Men to be Kicked out
of the Party.


The Cincinnati Enquirer, one of the or
CANS of the Northern Democracy, thus pro-
poses to punish Senator Clay, for his protest
against Douglas as Presidential candidate:
"A SENATOR OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Clay, of Al
ALBANIA, has made speech in Huntsville, in that
State in which he declared that he would not vote
for Senator Douglas, or any other man who enter
tains similar views, even if he be nominated unan-
imously by the Charleston Convention. There
must also be Congressional slave code provision
inserted in the Charleston Platform or Mr.. Clay
will leave us lie further states that he Is not,
and never will be- National Democrat. After
these declarations Clay should be treated exactly
rs Hale and Trumbull were-as renegade to the
party. The doors of our organization should DO
slammed in his face"
1t istrue enough, as contemporary observes,
that the anti-Douglas men in the South Will
read in the above the fate that is IN reserve
for them at the hands Of the Northern De-
mocracy. How do they like it: Is this the
party which Southern Democrats are daily
assuring the people is 1.-The only national
organization to which the South can look
for safety? If Southern Democrats " no re-
fuse to support Douglas are to DC classed
with such vile AbolitionistS as Hale and
Trumbull-if they are to be denounced as
.srenegades' to the Democratic party, and
the doors of the organization to be slammed
IN Meir taces"-pray tell us what the
| South is to receive from such an organlza-
ton
We would PROFOUND this query to the
anti-Douglas Democrats of the South: 1t they
are to be kicked ont of the Democratic party
would it not be better for them to come ont
at once aud of their own accord ?-Rich-

Slave Labor.

The. high price OF negroes is drawing
them rapidly away from Virginia and North
Carolina and the agricultural States is feel
ing the loss. The Newbern Progress says:
lone of the most ntelisentand successful
planters on the Roanoke, in the old North
State remarked to friend yesterday, that
although his land needed more laborers yet
he could not afford to buy them at present
rates, nor can any prudent farmer in the old
States. What then? Why away they 80 to

A Curious CASE.-Onc of the most re-
markable physiological facts known in med
zeal history, has recently developed itself in
the case of a son of Mr.. Charles Davis, of
this city, who resides ri the corner of Little
Montgomery and Fremont streets. The boy
alluded to is about Ii years old, and for a
long time has been a sufferer from spasms
and severe choking spells, which no physi-
clan seemed able to account for. Everything
promising relief was resorted to. But ali
proved of no avail. The boy grew no bet
ter, and remained a puzzle to everybody ua-
I'll week or two ago, when, by a sudden
and violent reich curious looking living
frog was thrown from his stomach. The
boy, however, experienced but little relief
Iy this election, and still continues to gasp
and choke and retch, as though he was pos
sessed with similar animals. In fact, from
very minute examination of the creature
thus thrown up, we doubt whether it really
is frog 1t looks to Us more like reptile
"a sort of Ezard-though unlike a lizard it
has no tail Mr.. Davis informs us that the
boy has an exceedingly unnatural appetite.
lie devours everything in the shape of food
that he can lay his hands upon, with the
voracity Of wolf, and never appears to
have enough. How he thus became possess
ed is mystery. The spawn OF a frog may
have been taken into the stomach with wa
ter, but this is only conjecture.

The Protestant Episcopal Convention of
New York, assembled on Wednesday, with a
full attendance. At an early hour, a meet
ing of the clergy and laity friendly to the
restoration Of Bishop Onderdonk was held,
and after free interchange of opinions it
was resolved that the bishop voluntarily
withdraw his petition; which was according
ly done. This takes the matter out Of the
hands of the convention, aud chokes off dis
cussion, unless somebody opposed to the
bishop undertakes the task of calling it up in
parliamentary form. The withdrawal ofthe
petition is looked upon by the opponents Of
restoration as only an expedient to avoid
bringing the subject up for debate, and to
send the petition and memorial to Richmond
without first passing them in review in New
