THE oUAcK AND THE ITALIAN.
For many months a small and some
what obscure Office in the western part of
Boston had remained unoccupied. Ear
one cloudless winters morn in 1882,
its doors and window shutters were
thrown open, anil little hustle in and
about it, showed that it was again to be
no longer vacant. 1t was opened BY
two men; one of them. evidently stran-
ger. surveying the premises with an air
Of satisfaction. He wrote a few words
upon slip of paper, received key in
return, and both left the Office, though by
different routes.
One of the men Immediately returned.
and was accompanied by few articles Of
furniture and carpenter carrying some
shelves, which were nailed up in proper
order, and upon them were soon arrang-
Cd boxes and vials of various descriptions.
Some printed bills were now pasted to
ine walls in conspicuous places, stove,
which had evidently been left by the
last occupant Of the room, was set up,
hire kindled in it, and q table and three
chairs set in the centre of the room. a.
The office. being pretty large, was d.
Noed into two apartments by heavy
green curtain suspended from the ceiling
20 the floor, thus leaving ample space for
Glodging-room. a.T.
In THIS recess was placed bed and
such other articles as rendered it q COM
IOrtaole dressing and sleeping room for a
Gentleman. a
over the door was then suspended a
modest sign bearing the following inscrip-
ton: "AMzr BOYD, NJ. D.

These arrangements being completed,
the new occupant of the shop drew a
chair near the stove and sat upon it. he

Small, delicately formed. with mild blue
eyes and haxen curls, she seemed to have
nothing in common with the sphere in
which she lived. excepting patient, un.
complaining spirit.
After giving her children their supper
she stated to them her plans for the future
and then sent them to rest.
Taking from an old chest of drawers,
a small and beautifully finished work. box
her husbands first gift-she drew from
it a miniature, upon which she gazed long
and fixedly, tears Of bitter anguish rolling
down her sickly face. With clasped
hands and eyes appraised to heaven. she
exclaimed
Permit me, o. my God once more
to behold his face, and surely, he will yet
return to the wife in whose bosom his
image has ever been cherished {; to the
children, who, through long years Of alb
sence, have been taught to respect and
honor him :" then taking from the box
some old notes written in an exceedingly
fair hand, and a single curl of glossy
black hair. she slowly read the former as
if for the the first time. and pressing each
to her lips, replaced all and returned the
box to its deposite. Little dreamed the
excellent and forgiviHg woman Of the
black per6dy of him who had thus for
gotten every sense of honor and reduced
her to toll and suffering. and to whom
her wealth afforded a means of display in
the fashionable world at the gaming
table.
On Monday morning they took their
final leave of the old cottage, which sud-
denly seemed to them q bright, happy
spot, and pursued their journey to the
city, where we will leave them and return
for a time to our friends in Boston.

to strengthen a weak nomination by some Of
the stale electoneeripg tricks borrowed from
former campaigns. Every one recollech how,
In the time Of Harrison, the log cabin and hard
cider dodge was worked throughout the coun-
try. Large amounts OF money were invested
in pine logs and apple juice, In order 10 get up
a Fictitious excitement There was not city

Of these improvised huts, In which, from early
morning until midnight, were to be heard
the sounds Of tipsey revelry, Interpreted
with the favorite refrain Of "Tippecanoe and
Tyler too"
Having cast aside candidate who, but for
treachery, might have been run on his own
personal merits, The republicans have resorted
to the device Of investing their present
choice with imaginary antecedents, which
they think have q chance of appealing to
the popular heart With this view they are
building wiewams In our large cities, 10 order

that which was manufactured on the Log
Cabin and hard cider campaign" The idea,
however, does not seem TO have ELECTED

THE MErHoDrsT CoxrEREScE ON SLAVERY
The Methodist General Conference has been
now In session at Buffalo some three weeks
aud during that time the slavery question has
been on the taps on three or four different &C.
easiors. One would suppose that the lights
and ELDERS Of the Methodist church could find
plenty Of subjects touching the doctrines and
morals and salvation Of their locks to exercise
themselves upon, without meddlirg with slave
~, about which they have no concern what
ever. Nevertheless, that question seems to be
made vital one, no. only on this occasion at
Buffalo, but In all the minor conferences held
from time 10 time and 1t invariably gives
rise TO the most sickly twaddle that ever
fell from the lips Of parson. Occasionally we
find speech with some spice, and even some
common sense, in It, but, as generalrule, anti
slavery harangues are synonymous With cant
and drivel 1t Is about time tha. TIE parsons
sAsrld let this question alone.

The MYSTERIOUS PoBoN1NGs AT WEYxourH.-
We published yesterday highly interesting
account Of the mysterious deaths of the tive
sisters Tirrell, at Weymouth, Massachusetts,, far
Dished by our special reporter. This extraor-
binary case is naturally exciting considerable il
terest for it II one Of the most fearful instances
Of depravity on record, IL the circumstances
be true, a. alleged. Nsppears that the accused,
George Canning Hefsey, q young mechanic Of
Wey mouth, became intimate In the family Of 4
Mr.. Tirrell, and formed an attachment for ono
of the daughters, Mary Tirrell. This young
lady died very suddenly in January last; but
no suspicion Of foul play arose at that time.
On the I'd Of this month, however, another
daughter Of Mr. Tirrell, Betsey Frances, died
quite as suddenly, under circumstances
which at once indicated strychnine a.
the immediate cause Of her disease. Upon
post mortem examination, the presence of this
deadly poison was clearly detected in the sso-
mach, and the further discovery was made
that the unfortunate young lady was eaoe-
int at the time Of her death. This led to Q
suspicion that the first victim might have died
from poison also, and upon exhuming the body
of Mary Tirrell, a quantity of corrosive subu-
mate was found In the viscera, and the astound-
ing fact was brought to light that she, too, had
been enceinte, fGtus of three months being
found in the uterus.
These are the facts thus far elected by the
examination Of the accused, and it may be
added that the purchase Of stry chime has been
traced to him. The investigation is still pro-
crossing, and If the allegations above stated be
borne ont by the evidence yet to be produced,
this case will present one of the most horrible
instances Of depravity and hesrtlessness ret
made public in this country.

DRINKING FouNTANs.-Now that the summer
is fairly at hand, 1t is to be hoped that the
Common Council will give heed to the sugees-
lions that we have 30 frequently thrown out -
to the erection Of drinking fountains through
out the city. Nothing would aid the cause Of
temperance and public order more than their
introduction. There are more sofa and row.
dies made by the difficulty Of getting at clean
and wholesome water In our thoroughfares
than by any other influence. Many are CON-
PEELED to enter public houses to Stake their
thirst who would never think Of going into
them If there were drinking fountains to be met
with. The good policy of these conveniences
has been established by the experience of the
European cities. In climate where the sum-
mer heat Is 80 intense they are doubly neces.
sary, and the benefit resulting from them will
be doubly felt. So far from being An obstrac-
ton in our streets, they might be rendered the
means Of ornamentiDg and beautify ing them
The public fountains of Paris and Vienna
are among the most elegant and decorative
features Of those cities. The people make
continual use Of them to satisfy their thirst, and
the consequence is that they have no occasion
to enter taverDs for that purpose. To this cause,
as well as TO the heavy fines inflicted for the
adulteIation of wines and liquors, is no doubt
10 be attributed the fact that 90 little drunk
enness Is encountered in the Continental cities.
In locating these fountains attention should
be paid to the choice Of sites that will be
readily recognized. One shonld be placed, for
instance, In the neighboIhood OF every church,
SIS Its spire will serve as guide to the thirsty
foot passenger. When the project comes to be
executed, bowe'rr, it will be easy to OK on To-
cations that will best suit the general couve-
nience. At presen. We only wish to impress
upon the Common Council the expedieacy OF
providing for want so urgently felt

MOURNING FOR SywARD.-The black repub-
licans all over the State are indulgIng in all
kinds Of mourning, and lamentation, and gnash-
ing Of teeth, over the defeat Of W. ii. Seward
at Chicago. They manifest their feelings at
the catastrophe by dismal groanings, torrents
Of tears and the yelling of their faces with
Grape. We published yesterday the wailiDgs
Of Chevalier Webb over this awful Gala
nifty, which II appears they all charge upon
Greeley, as q contamination effected out of
reverge because Seward did not make him
Governor elk years ago. We suppose that
Greeley had . perfect right TO oppose Mr..
Seward upon those grounds and II is perhaps
no more than any other politician would have
done lie made Seward Governor, and sena-
tor, and everything else, and be had right TO
here for reciprocity Of benefits.
We perceive that the Chevalier Webb and
the " little villain are both disposed to be
threatening towards the philosopher Greeley

iude ofMr Seward. We think II may be found
tha. Thurlow Weed is at the bottom of all this
cutlery. Ereport be true. be gave vent 10 the
first burt Of tears on the defeat OF Seward,
before lie LEFT Chicago for Minnesota. How
ever that nay be, it is evident that the repub-
lican leaders are all lighting amongst them
selves, willie they are preparing to enterthe
contest for the Presidency. There is general
war in the party as TO who shall share the spoils
Of the Kitchen Cabinet and control the lobby,
In case OF success. and they will doubtless con-
,lnue TO wrsrele until the democratic csnd
