THE MoRPHY DrNNER.-The Boston de-
monstration in honor of Paul Morphy has ex-
cited considerable remark and been made
the topic of some jokes. "The Autocrat of
the Breakfast Table," who presided at this
dinner, could do it justice, if he would for, we
think he can be brilliant even when laughing
at himself AT any rate, let him try. The
Boston Daily Advertiser, always sensitive to
any violation of good taste, cannot well avoid
feeling the ridiculous aspect of the Morphy
dinner. 1t tries, however, to modify the I'M
comfortable sensation by an ingenious device.
The Advertiser propounds an original theory
as follows =
at is simple but effectual way of strength
ening the Union to improve all such oppoFtu-
mites as this, by which we are brought into
sympathy with the rest of the country, and a
common and kindly feeling is tostered. Some
may laugh at the idea of any such results
flowing from so simple a thing, but the wise
know better. We are unhappily compelled
tor the present to hold relation of political
hostility to the Southern States Fidelity
to our principles should keep us from the folly
of relaxing in the least from the most strenu-
GUS exertions to carry them out, by reason of
Difference or fear for our Southern neighbors.
But patriotism and fidelity to principle alike
require that we should omit no opportunity to
conciliate our Southern opponents, and to
testify our interest in all that concerns our
countrymen, whenever it can be done as it
could be so easily and naturally done in the
case of the Morphy dinner, without compro-
missing our principles on political subjects.
Indeed, the more strenuous we are in main
tanning these, the more eager we should be to
preserve good feeling and common good
understanding between the different parts of
the country"
What the Advertiser says of the value of
kindness and courtesy in our intercourse with
'the rest of the country" is very just Any
improvement of our manners in this respect is
commendable. Moreover, if the Boston Mu-
tual Admiration Society can save the Union,
| we shall be in favor of giving it free field
and unlimited license to hold mutual glorifica-
| ton dinners until even the Charleston Mercu-
| ry is constrained to stand forth and swear by
the shade of Calhoun that the Union has been
made stronger than fate and more enduring
than eternity itself. To eat such dinners, as
matter of political duty, may require large
amount of painful selfsacrifce, especially to
the gentlemen of eminent gravity who may be
entertained as dead heads; but it would be
sacrilegious to withhold such offerings from the
shrine of patriotism. Mr.. Morphy will now
seem to us more remarkable than ever. He
has astonished Europe, gorifed America and
given the Boston Mutual Admiration Society
an opportunity to save the Union Good
Let him be honored everywhere as the cir
eumstances of the case demand

COUNTERFEIT MONEY AND CoIN.-The
community is absolutely overwhelmed with
counterfeit money. Nearly every day of the
year new counterfeit is announced, and they
often bear SO strong a resemblance to the gen
uine, that thousands of dollars are taken from
the community before the fraud is discovered.
The originators of the recent counterfeit OF
the Brighton Market Bank probably accumu-
lated fortune by the operation. We are also
informed that counterfeit silver coin is getting
to be quite plentiful, and that the execution is
of character in regard to appearance, ring,
weight and other tests as almost to defy detec-
ton A bank officer the other day declared
his inability to pick out two counterfeit quar-
tiers from heap of the genuine coin. Surely
something must be done, or our curreHcy will
be debased beyond remedy.-Iraueller.

Nor IMPROVED BY Standardization
Benson of Liberia, in his last message, thus
explodes notion which has been loudly main
tanned and quite extensively believed in this
country -
"My fears and anxieties for the last five or
six years have been that the moral, intelectu-
AL and industrial training Of a majority of the
immigrants who may arrive here from the
United States, as well as that of our posterity,
bred and born in this country, will not keep
pace with the advancement of the aborigines in
those elements Of individual and national great
ness. In order to show that these fears and
anxieties are not unfounded, / have only to
state what is pretty generally known in Ii
IBERIA, that there are thousand Of natives living
within the jurisdiction of this republic. who are
intellectually in advance of at least one half Of
the immigrants that arrive here annually from
the United States"

NOVEL DISAGREEMENT OF DocToRs.-A
lively and ludicrous combat between female
physician, Mrs. Stillwell, and regular trow-
sered doctor, named Mcneil, took place in the
streets of De Witt, Iowa, a few days ago. The
affair grew out of professional rivalry, the i'm
mediate provocation being lengthy article in
the village paper from the pen of the male
disciple of Esculapius, severely rejecting on
the character of his professional sister. The
latter, after careful diagnosis of the case, de-
cided that it was one calling for the vigorous
application of stimulant in the shape of
cowskin. Providing herself with this article,
she hunted up her traducer, and piled him so
assiduously with heavy doses of the new Their
apeutical agent, at remarkably short intervals,
that the patient, unable to bear such sharp
practice, clasped the fair practitioner in his
arms, and held her so forciby and affection
ately, that the efforts of the town Marshal
were necessary TO release her. AT the latest
accounts both doctor and patient were doing
well.

A NOVEL SUIT.-A suit is now pending in
the Supreme judicial Court for Cumberland
county, Maine, of which are stated the follow
ing facts A gentleman by the name of Par
an Jones, formerly OF Rollinsford, N. H., while
resident of that place. paid his respects to
Miss Herbert of Portland, Maine, and she, in
consideration of his regard and promises she
being quite wealthy furnished him with mon
ey, horses, carriages, &C., and as she alleges,
he agreed to marry her. AT the end of three
years ''courtship'' he left her, and went to
Wicasset, Me. Meeting with very good sue
cess there, he adhered to single blessedness.
About year passed, and she married Mr..
Parmenter. Some six months after her mar
riage, Jones made several charges against her,
which, she says, were false, and were the
cause Of the separation between her and her
husband, which took place about eight months
after their marriage. She has, therefore, sued
Jones for $4,000, the amount which she al
leges he received from her during her three
years courtship," and has also commenced
another action against him, in which she
claims $4,000 for injury to her character,
which was the cause of her husbands leaving
her. The action will be tried in Portland in

SEMINARY STRUCK BY LIGHrNING.-The
Genessee Valley Seminary, in Allegheny
county, N. Y, was struck by lightning a few
days ago. Nearly fifty persons were in the
building, when sharp quick, deafening crack
was heard, with the crash of shivered lumber
and falling plaster. In one room, whose side
and floor were shattered, Il teacher and all her
class were Frustrated senseless. In two or
three minutes all recovered. In another room
some Others were felled to the floor. As soon
as the shock was over, and all seemed unharm
ed, thoughts of fire agonized some of them, and
Immediately some were sent with water to ex
anime, and entered the garnet just in time to
extinguish the rising flames, which, few mo-
ments later, could not have been quenched by
any practicable means. That among so
many, with such near contact Of the mysteri
GUS agent turning up floors under the very
feet, and SCATTERING window frames and castings
not a foot from the heads of some sitting
against them, should have escaped unframed,
is the most remarkable Of ala miracle of de-
liverance.

SAD FUNERAL RITEs.-The daughter of
Mr.. Clark Smith of Canterbury, Orange coun-

plosion Of lamp that she died last Saturday
week. Her funeral took place on Monday af-
ternoon, and was attended by peculiar and
touching circumstances. At a recent festival
given by Mr. Marvin at Canterbury, this
young miss was made the Queen of May, and
was attended by twelve of her companions as
maids of honor The dress she wore on that
occasion was used as her funeral shroud and
the twelve maids of honor formed the sad cor

morning middle-aged gentleman walks down
Broadway, from Blocker to Wall street, who
has trod daily the same route for twenty five
years. Twenty years ago, being convinced
of the evil and extravaganza of smoking, he
resolved to lay aside the trifie spent in cigars,
amounting to only two or three daily. He has
adhered to that resolution ever since, and the
sum of those little expenditures, weekly de-
posted in savings bank, has reached this day
two thousand, five hundred and ninety dol
