Of the dead. that the character OF aAeeN 49,
should rees.rs more ihan a casual snnounos-
msnt after death. Capt Ben v. Cline me
clerk Of the Inflated steamer, died IN tins city
yesterday from injuries received BY the expio'
sion Of the 81. Kidsoias, The deceased was a
native OF Virsinis, and bis father yet lives at
Parkersburg. in that STATE. Capt G. had been
A boatman from manhood. He possessed IN
usual business qualifications, and was noted
for his habits Of sobriety and devotion TO the
pursuits Of business life. He owned a one
fourth interest inthe lost steamer. Asa friend,
/ he was true. kind end generous, and esteemed
l fer an the amiabls qualities Of a nobIe-heartsd
nan. The deceased was IN The flush Of nan
hood, having but Just attained the age OF thirty
i've, and having been united to his now sainied
wife but ter months ago. A most touching
coincidence, in councillor with bis last mo
msnts is related bya friend who stood BY his
desth-bed in that trying hour. II is generally
known hst, for he benefit Of TIE sufferers at
the Gaisty last evening, the playof "Engom0r'
had been selected Il was impossible that he
could have known anything Of that eircum-
stance, vet his last breath was expended in the
rs~Pstihon-of a quotation from a touching part
in'that play, in which the author has made an
aRusion 70 the sentiment Of iovs Az The en-
sis in which The spirit was about to wing its
flight from tie tenement If clay, be whispered,
in low accents, the expression;
Two souls win but e SINGLE thouEhL
Two hesrts rat beat 81 oas-
His mind, in that lucid interval between in
tense suffering and immediate death, evidently
woosd the spirit Of his huch-loyed and sainted
wife And IL seemed q fitting coincidence that
Benjamin Cline, whose life had been pure and
whose example had been a noble one, should
yield the last low accents Of bis voice IN a
tribute to the holy principle Of love
ARARE InFoHrarIox.-Psrson feeling any
interest to see the genuine native African can
Be Crstihed BY calling a. the negro yard Of our
friend Forrest, on Adams street. He has for
sale, among other negroes, seven direct from
Congo. We saw them yesterdaT, and found
them IN appearances very lively and eontented,
a very slight thing moving then to laughter.
They differ materiaIlvin eonformaHoR and eX-
preston OF conference from the generality o.
our honsbred and honetrained negroes. They
are Of short stature, very dark color, and gen
orally slight in the make Of the limbs, the anele
and wrist being very slender, and the hand
small, with slender Fingers, more ike awoman's
hand than a mans. One OF two Of them ex-
hfbit some eorpulency, but ths tendency Of the
fat is principally to- the abdomen. They are
an youths but one, and he Is a full grown man,
and exhibits some pecuhariies distinct from
the rest; his hands are shorter and broader,
and his forehead is Of a formation somewhat
singular. One or two Of them can saw a very
few English Wor's, but al can use some pretty
expressive psntomime, not dihieult to under
stand. The principal peeulisrity observed in
their behavior, since they were at-Mr. Forests
yard, Is then strong manifestations Of prefer
snce for the pure bIooded black females; they
view the mulatto girls with feelings evidently
vsrv different; the mixture Of white does not
please their eye

the agent, Ambrose, on Monroe street, be-
tween Main and Second, Is doing a large bust
ness. He has now one Of the best stocks Of
pulpit, han, psrlor, bracket, table and hand
