Hon. DANIEL SIcKLEs Dear Sir -

There is a fellow, l may say. for he is

lieve the District Attorney, who rents a
house of a negro man by the name Of
John A. Gray. situated on Fifteenth

Mrs. Sickles; he hangs a string ont OF
the window, as a signal to her that he is

she walks in. and, sir. 1 do assure you.
With these few hints, l leave the rest
for you to imagine.
Most respectfully, your friend,

Mrs. Emily Wharton was the mos
charming bride that had been lei to tn,
altar in Philadelphia, during the winter
Of 1888. Her husband, Percy Wharton
was a young gentleman Of fortune, Just
from his travels in Europe. where he had
first seen his future bride They were g
noble pair. and nature as well as fortune
had made them worthy Of each other
Percy was generous, high-spirited, and
the soul of honorable feeling. Travel
had not spoiled, but improved him. 1t
had elevated his character, and given him
a healthy knowledge. not only of man
kind. but of himself He was amiable to
fault. and not the less distinguished for
the the quiet, gentlemanly tone of his nan
ners. than for his learning and good sense.
Emily-how shall l describe her? Let
the reader imagine the loveliest young
bride he or she has ever beheld, and they
will form some notion of the exquisite
grace and beauty of Mrs. Emily Whar
ton. But, then. this lovely young bride
must have hair, black as the ravens wing.
and eyes dark as midnight. with long
shadowy lashes, Just subduing. lot yelling
their brilliancy. She should have com
plexion something between a Spanish

Spanish. with dark, arched brows. con
trasting. but harmonizing with a pleasing
forehead, not so white as Parian marble.
but softer and far more beautiful. She
shonld have an exquisite profle-not
Grecian-not Itslian-but American
that lovely, delicate outline of the face so
peculiar to beautiful American females,
which possesses all the regular chiselling
of the Grerian beau ideal without its
hardness. Her nose, too, should be the
least bit in the world retrousse. and with
the most charming mouth, she should
have sweet, sparkling smile, which
should display set of the most brilliant
teeth that ever gave richness to the smile
of beauty. Such was the face of Emily
Wharton. Her figure was moulded like
that of a youthful goddess. snperb and
Juno like. She dressed with perfect
taste. which. altogether. united with her
beautiful face, won for her the praise of
being the finest and most lovely shaped
woman in Philadelphia. She was clever,
in the English sense. without being a
blue, and her conversation was full of wit
and vivacity. She had good share OF
plain, common sense. and but very little
vanity. If she was vain of anything. it
was of her handsome husband. to whom
she had been now four months married,
and-of her beautiful teeth.

Romance Extraordinary,

| A WOMAN TRAVELLING WITH CIRous
SEVEN YEARS, IN MALE ArrIRE.-On
Friday Of last week, two individuals,
calling themselves Jack and Charlie,
made their appearance in Chambersburg,
and while sauntering through that town.
the latter attracted much attention--sp-
pearance, voice and manner seeming to
indicate that he could not Justly claim to
be Of the sterner sex. His companion,
Jack, had drank very freely, and became
uproarious in saloon, mourning the dis
pleasure of the bar keeper, who compelled
him to leave. Charlie Immediately fol-
lowed, having been advised by some one
that Sis" had better leave too, and as
he retreated, declared that he was no
d" SIS" Shortly afterwards, Jack was
arrested on the street for swearing. Char
lie became indignant at this, declared q.
"knock-down" would be the consequence,
and that he would "stay" with Jack
under any circumstances. Both Jack
and Charlie were arrested, and complaint
having been made by Constable. the
magistrate was about to commit them to
prison. Charlie became boisterous, threat
ened all sorts of violence with different
weapons, and was finally searched. No.
thing dangerous was found on his person,
or with which he could execute his threats.
Jack and Charlie went to prison, and
there being some doubts of the sex of
Charlie, the jailor considered it his duty
to make an investigation. The regalia
of the Daughters of Malta was found in
his possession, and the fact was disclosed
that he was q woman.
She gave history Of herself It would
appear that she was born and raised
in the town of Somerset, in this State.
Her name is Matilda Rushenburgsr, and
she is about twenty-four years Of age,
About seven years ago Dan Rice's Circus
was in Somerset. Her father who is a
blacksmith, did considerable horse shoe
ing for the circus. and from visits Of Rice
to the shop, she became acquainted with
him. Rice endeavored to get her brother
to travel with him, but he refused. He
then, she alleges, persuaded her to accom-
pany him, and up to a short period she
has been in his employ. She donned
male attire from the time she started, and
has been wearing it ever since. Her oc-
cupation in the circus was equestrianism
and vaulting. and no doubt she figured
among Rice's "stars" as 1.-THE celebrated
Equestrian. Signor Somebody. from Fran
coni's in Paris. and Astley's in London"
She says she is not the only female in
male attire travelling with circuses in
this country. Of course she is rough in
speech. and from her degrading and bru-
tai associations, seems to have lost all re-
spect for the proprieties of her sex.

TOBACCO AND WHITE LABoR.-Im-
mense quantities of Tobacco are now ar
irving daily, in Richmond, and the ware
houses are nearly overrun. At Schockoe,
we understand, there is more Tobacco on
storage and for inspection than has ever
before been within the walls of the ware
house. About sixty hands are employed
there daily in coopering. breaking. storing.
etc, and it deserves TO be mentioned that
in this force, but in separate gangs" are
several white laborers. Until the present
year, we believe. negroes have been exclu-
sively employed to perform warehouse Ia
Dor, but the enhancement of the value of
slaves. and the high rates Of negro hire
have induced the inspectors to employ
few whites. experimentally. They are
not as expert as the darkies in whirling
the hhds., but apart from their lack in
experience in this respect, they perform
the labor required Of thep in a satisfacto-
ry manner. 1t is probable, however, that
white labor will entirely supersede slave
labor, at either warehouse, unless the rel
alive cost Of the latter should become so
much higher, as to compel the Inspectors
to substitute the lstter.-Riekmond Wig.

The morning seemed too lovely to remain

the richness and wonderful variety of his
strains. Glimpses from the open door

bending her face over her work, pursued
her toll. She sighed not to mingle in the

AT the period of our story, Caroline
had been nearly two years an apprentice.
during which period sorrow and internal
anxiety had undermined her mothers
health so far that she was unable to con-
tribute longer to the support of her fami-
ly. the care of which devolved on the no.

homely provision for their table. they
were happy and well enough of. Caro-
