A Domestic INcIDENT.-We find the following
incident related in the San Francisco Times


A lady residing in one of the interior towns,
recently returned from the East, entered suit
for divorce against her husband, who, to save his
children-two beautiful and interesting girls,
respectively eight aud ten years of agc-from
the scandal of the affair, determined TO get them
away from the mother and send them to their
former home in the East. lie accordingly brought
them down to this city last week, and procured
tickets for them by the steamer Uncle Sam. The
day before the steamer left the MOTHER who sup
posed the girls only visit to their father
received an intimation Of what was intended, and
by the advice Of her lawyer telegraphed to this
city, where writ Of haJeas corpus was issued for
the recovery Of the children They were kept
concealed, however, until the next morning.
when, by previous arrangement, their father put
off from Fort Point in a boat and placed his
daughters on board just before the steamer passed
the Heads. They were received in charge of
several ladies from the interior, who bad previ-
Ously agreed with Mr.---to see them safely to
their home in New York State.

Isn't THIS NICE Such was the exclamation
of little beggar girl, one cold, rainy, clustering
evening, short time since, as she stopped upon
the grating over the orifce whence escapes the
hot air and steam OF one of the many engines
that burrow beneath the sidewalks of Ann and
Nassau streets, New York The ragged little
creature was bare footed; her feet we're red with
cold, and the genial warmth of the grating and
steam sent such a thrill of satisfaction to her
heart, that she involuntarily gave expression to
her delight. " Isn't this nice y There was con
tent-dcligh ght-in the tone; and We could not
help thinking. as we passed along, how small and
humble a matter will 5estow happiness when the
right thing happens to be applied in the right
place. Reader, you can feel "nice" over an
iron grating as well as by the side Of the parlor
stove.

The --latest Agony.--A Virginia lady, who
resides not thousand miles from the town
of F. whilst on recent visit to some friends
residing 10 the city OF New FORK, made
quite new, novel, and Ito her) disastrous
discovery:
1t seems that the young lady in question,
mistook gas burner in her room fer bon
net rack and accordingly placed her bonnet
thereon. In her absence the servant visited
her room for the purpose of lighting up. tn e
gas for the night, and thinking that the bon,
net was nothing more nor less than the usua
shade upon the purner-not observing very
closely-lighted the gas and left the room.
In a short ine thereafter the young lady
returned to her room in order to get her
bonnet and some other paraphernalia, put

sence her beautiful glove of a boanet." had
been converted into pile of white ashes

How Colds Should be Treated.-Dr. Halls
Journal of Health says that there are three
things which every mau should do the mo-
ment be is satisfied thathe has taken cold:
lst eat nothing; I'd, go to bed and cover up
warm, in a warm; room; Sd, drink as much
hot herb tea as be can; and thus using him
selfin three cases cut of four. the subject will
be cured in thirty six hours. On the contrary,
il he allows his cold to 90 two days unmolest-
ed, he can swallow nothing that will affect
it in the least; and the cold, with such a
start will rul its course of about fortnight
and whatever is swallowed than by way OF
physic is useess hindrance. 1t is mis-
chievous though somewhat popular fallacy,
"feed cold and starve fever" Feeding the
cold is feeding fever; cold always brings
on fever, and never begins to get well until
the fever subsidies; and every mouthful swal-
lowed is so much fuel to sustain the fires of
fever 1t is indeed fortunate that as soon
as the cold is fairly seated nature allows no
appetite; otherwise the most common cold
might be followed by very serious results,
and unless upon very sturdy constitution
would almost prove fatal.

1t is quite true that there is very little
disposition manifested by any OF the repre-
sentatives to establish intimate relations
with Mr.. Sickles, but justice to the man
himself requires that shonld state that he
seems to invite no such relations. Every
day about fifteen minutes past twelve, when
debate has begun, be walks in quietly from
the side door, aud takes his eat on one OF
the sofas, on the western side of the House,
where, resting his head apon his gloved
hand, he remains seated, taking no part in
the discussion, voting, when called upon, in
a low voice. He dresses in exquisite taste /,
and has cultivated a large PAIR of brown
whiskers. He seems conscious that public
opinion is greatly against him, and although
his bearing is full of his characteristic cas- 9
and GOODNESS, it is singularly retiring and
unobtrusive. Sitting in the gallery on Wed
nesday and Thursday, l noticed several OF
the leading members of the House going up
to him, shaking hands with him, and pass
ing on to their seats. have not met Mr..
Sickles, and therefore speak of him simply

A Clumsy Execution = A slave named Green
was hung last Friday, at st. Joseph, Mo-,
for numbering his master, F. NJ. Wright
The St. Joseph West, ia giving an account
of the execution, says:
"The rope being finally adjusted, the pin
was Knocked out, and the victim dropped
through the trap door but owing to some
mistake in tying his hands, he was enabled
to catch the rope and draw himself upon the
scatfold again His hands were then tied be-
hind him, and after some time spent in pre-
paration, he was let fall the second time
This time he fell about four feet, and was
killed almost instantly, scarcely moving a
limb or mnscle. The negro was fellow
prisoner of the notorious boy, and the day
before his execution he made confession of
his crime. He said his master treated him
kindly, and never spoke cross word to him,
and the only reason he coald give for shoot
ing his master was, that he aoas told to do so
by white people
