We have heard OF singular case of de-
nestle iufdeity AID its discovery, recently
occurring IN the upper part OF the city,
which partakts about equally OF the serious
and tie ridiculous, and We give the facts as
they were related TO Us, in perfect confidence.
There is . gent!emal-- Or, as the world goes,
he is considered in that light-who deals
largely ia q useful merchantable commodity,
'cheap for cash )" and there is q lady who,
although she wears a husband on her arm
for appearance sake" transacts as large
commerce in winsoma smiles and pretty
glances. These parties met, and, as the
sterner Of the two was not impervious, be
looked, be saw, he fell. Wednesday evening
the merchant lett home about O'Clock, in-
forming his vile he should be absent until
10. About the same hour the lady also de-
parted from her home, consigniDg her baby
TO the charge OF its putative papa, with the
assurance that she was about TO visit sick
friend and would he back in couple Of
hours. OF course there was nothing strange
in this save coincidence, but it is with coin
cidences we are dealing. At 8 o'clock a
venerable gentleman, closely related to the
merchant in question, arrived with an ear
nest desire TO see him speedily, and the wife
determined to see him at his store, not far
distant, presuming he might be finishing up
some bus ness there. About 9 o'clock, the
babe heretofore spoken OF was attacked with
a "croupy" spell, that made it seem to the
mind OF the husband highly necessary that
certain remedy should be administered

ma, he started to procure the article, which
was sold by our friend the merchant. When
the wife arrived at the store, the door was
closed and l0cked--rather earlier than usual.
But there was light inside. and taking
key she carried, she proceeded TO unlock the
door, as she had often done before, that she
might not disturb her lord when he was
casting up accounts. just as she was going
in, the husband came along in pursuit OF his
Group medicine, and entered likewise. Pro
badly no two persons were ever more com
pletely overwhelmed with establishment. dis.
may and confusion than Tere the absent
husband and the visiting wife, who were
seated upon lounge kept in the back part
Of the store for the accommodation Of Gus
toners. We leave tie denoUement u be
imagined. 1t is sufficient to state Tat the
husband, not relishiNg the benevoel! tenn
permanent which leads his wife to seek and
nurse such friends, has found another
boarding house," and that tie VIE oil me

keeps him away from home at nights L de-
trimental to her happiaess, announces ner

A Negro Funeral as the south.

A letter from Winchester, Va, in the
Alexandria Gazette, gives the following
description Of negro funeral: 1.-The negro
map, Haywood, the porter connected with
tie Railroad, who was killed a. Harper's
Ferry, was buried here % Wednesday with
military honors. IL was q lavorite with
all who knew him and those who have
travelled over the road will now miss the
laughing cOuntenance OF Old Haywood.
The remains were accompanied y the Nor
gan Continentals, Major r. 3. Washington,
and two other companies, one from Win
chester and the other from Martinsburg
their names cannot recol!ect. The bat
TALON was under the command OF Colonel
Moore. The fne band of music connected
with the Continentals headed the procession,
and played some beautiful airs. n the
procession were the Mayor of the city, the
officers Of the regiment in UNIFORM, Mr.. Hol-
liday and other leading citizens Of the place.
1t was an imposing sight to look upon and
could oar Northern countrymen have wit
messed the funeral of Old Haywood, and the
hundreds who gathered around the grave,
and the respectful and serious attention with
which they listened 10 the burial service,
which was read by an old colored preacher,
there would be no such fanatics as Brown
and Cook"

the societies were formed, but it is not so
now. Anybody who can command money
or influence enough, may be elected in any
of the societies, the initiation. fee being from
thirty to several hundred pounds.
When an election is contested, and there
is any doubt about the Candidates election
by the hurrah and hat swinging method, the
candidates demand poll, and the election
is adjourned until the next day and the polls
kept open until all the voters have a chance
to come up and vote for the man of their
choice. There is one officer attached to
the city government called the City Re-
membrancer," whose duty it is to watch the
Parliament, and report to the Convention
every proceeding relating to the interests of
the city.
1t is surprising that a people with so
much sense as the English 81 ould retain so
many ancient and useless forms and ceremo-
MES, and dress up their Officials like clowns
and harlequins at fandango. But civil
zation has not much to boast of over savage
life as respects gewgaws and claptraps.

Plain TAX.

The Providence Or. IL Post, 10 noticing
he letter of Senator IyERsoN, Of Georgia,
IN which he says that If Senator DOUGLAS
and his doctrines are not repudiated by the
Charleston Convention. it will be the duty
OF the Southern delegates to withdraw and
break it up, says:
"The South sometimes applauis US for
this devotion to principle and the party
But see how shameiuily, in this instance, it
repays it. Some Northern DemOcrats-we
don't know how many-want Mr. Douglas
for President. Even if they cannot secure
his nomination, they wish to preserve his
platform. Bat they propose TO accomplish
their purpose, if they accomplish it at ALL by
legitimate action. They do not propose to
go outside OF their party in order to accom-
plish it, or to oppose the party if they fail
to accomplish it. How are they met ? Why
Mr.. Clay says, and Mr. Iverson says We
will beat you in the convention if we can
but if we cant, we will break m the con-
yention and defeat the party
Perhaps it is thought that the North
sits unmoved while this is going on, and is
ready to honor the men who thus threaten
vengeance. But i: is a mistake we allow
no such threats by \ ortheru Democrats, and
the Southern men who make them are
marked aud numbar d We do not recog-
nize them as Democrats. We despise their
professions OF patriotism. We do not per
nit National Conventions to nominate thetu
for high Offices. They are doomed men and
they may as well uGd rStand it first as las l."

fire to dry it; leaving his children in bed
asleep, and locking the house, he went with
his wife to visit neighbor distant about
ten rods. In five minutes after reaching
their place of destination their own house

save the children was unavailing. Mr.. AL

The Election of a Lord Mayor of
London.

The election for Lord Mayor of London,
took place on the 29th ult. A correspond
ent of the Century gives the manner of con-
Quoting the election, as follows
The only persons who have a right to
vote for Lord Mayor are members Of what
is called the livery of London )" that is
members elect, and belonging to one of the
following societies; Apothecaries, Armor-
ers and Braziers, BARRIERS, Blacksmiths,
Bowyers Bricklayers and Tillers, Brewers,
Butchers, Basket makers, Carpenters, Clock
makers, Cloth workers, Comb makers,
Cooks, Coach makers, Cordwainers, Card
makers, Coopers, Curriers', Cutters, Carmen,
Distillers, Diapers, Dyers, Embroiderers,

Woolmen.
The election is held at Guildhall, an in
front of the building fence is built, with
gate for each society. An officer called a
beadle stands at each gate, and wears an
embroidered cloak. and carries in one hand
a gilt rod, with basket shaped butt end to
it, called mace. He is supposed to know
all the members Of his society, and, thee
retically, DO others are admitted
practically, those whose curiosity like mine,
was an overmatch for Their modesty, con-
trived to get in. After the arrival Of the
Lord Mayor, Common Councilmen, Sheriff
and his deputies, with sundry other officials,
all rugged out in their gorgeous, fantastic
gold lace, fur and feather plDma1e, they
adjourned to an adjoining church, where the
Lord Mayors chaplain preached sermon,
which was very good in one respect, as it
was not more than fifteen minutes long.
All hands then went back to the hall,
which by that time was filed with people.
1t was then announced that the meeting
would proceed to elect Lord Mayor, and
sundry candidates were named, and as each
pane was painted on a board and held up
alternately above the heads Of the crowd on
the platform, the friends OF each candidate
would hurrah and swing their hats. aAftel
putting up first one board and then another
until it was very apparent whose name eli
cited the most noise, and induced the larges
number to swing their hats, it was declared
that Mr.. John Carter was duly elected Lore
Mayor of the city. MIR. Carter came for
ward and made a short speech and the per
formance ended.

was not an orator seeking to astonish his
auditors by eloquent periods, but chief, an
ardored friend, in open hearted converse
with his faithful adherents, awakening in
them sentiments of patriotism by the recital
of acts of heroism. But the hour Of our
departure was drawing nigh, and we were
obliged to take leave Of our kind entertainer
and regain our carriages.
