Down ON The TENNEssEEANs.-There
is said to be an old farmer living 10 Red
River county, Texas, well-to-do in the
world, and hospitable, but who has most
inconceiyable prejudice against Tennessee
and Tennesseeans, insomuch that he will
not even entertain man from that State.
His mode of ascertaining a Tennesseean is
something like pro-slavery men in Kansas
determining Yankee BY the pronuncia-
tion Of the word "cow," the Yankee calling
it "keow." His word is calico, which be
says the Tennesseeans uniformly pronounce
"kaliker." A stranger rides up and prob
ably asks the privilege Of spending the
night at his house. The old planter, be-
fore answering definitely, pulls out sim
gular piece of calico from his vest pocket,
and showing it to the stranger, asks what
be thinks Of it. "Why, that's kaliker, amt
itf' be naturally asks. "Haug me, sir!'
shouts the old planter, "you're from Ten
nessee, sir! you can't stop here, sir; you
must ride onr

The Fort Wayne (Ind.) furnishes the
details of one of the most horrid crimes
we have been called on to mention:
"The murdered man and the murjeress
were husband and wife, and had mann
tanned that relation to each other for Pc
Rod of upward of fifty years. They resi-
ded on small farm, which they owned in
DeKalb county. Mrs. Knapp informed
her SON 'Jakey' of her intention to kill the
old man, and requested Jakey' to hold the
old mans hands while she would choke him
to death; Jakey' refused. So she said no
more about the matter until next morning,
when she pursuaded Knapp, under some
pretence, to enter the milk house, and as
be was in the act of stepping out Of the
building, she struck him on the back of the
head with heavy club. She then seized
the axe which she had ready, and struck
him on the forehead, fracturing the SKULL
She then dragged him to the well and
threw him in, and as be went down he
grasped the top of the gum, which grasp
she forced him to release by striking him
upon the hands with heavy board; he
then sunk to the bottom Of the well.
The woman then threw into the well sew
eral peices of timber to cover the body,
then concealed the marks of blood upon
her dress, and sent .Jakey" away. She
was arrested, tried and sent to the peniten-
tiary for life.

may yet require the conservative princi-
pies Of the South to save your region of
country from anarchy and confusion. We
need not your protection. The power Of
Black Republicans is nothing to US. We
are safe in our own strength and security,
so long as We maintain our rights"
The way the case stands this morning !
should not be surprised if the Convention
would drag its weary length along through
this and even icto next week. 1t is losing
its importance however, and becoming
merely curiosity. The North Western
men say they will pick out those who are
willing to stay here during the summer,
and vote for Douglas every time, and see
that if be is nominated no other man shall
be. They have given up all hope of the
spoils, and therefore may do any obstinate
and desperate thing which may enter theiI
heads. NJ. ID.

Dark Life at the Capital.

Occasional" the Washington corre-
spondent of the Philadelphia Press, gives
the following:
"One of those cases which awaken the
sympathies of all men came to my knowl-
edge the other day, and it is of so interest
ing character that cannot refrain from
giving it to the world. An estimable col
ored man, well known in Washington, cal.
led upon me on Monday, with tears in his
eyes and said: 4 have bad news to tell you.
Ny wife, with whom have lived happily
for twenty years, was sold by her master
on the 10th of March, and is now in the
slave pen at Alexandria, and will be sent
by the slave-trader to the extreme South
unless / can raise $500 by Saturday to buy
her back to my bosom, and to give to our
poor children their faithful and devoted
mother We Lave had eleven children, of
whom seven are now alive On inquiry, /
found that the woman was an honest and
trustworthy servant, and / know her hus-
band 10 be one of the best fellows of his
race. A subscription was Immediately
started, and hope we shall be enabled to
rescue her from her impending doom. l
am no: disposed to enter into an argument
against slavery, but is it not a calling reAec-
ton, that here, ia the District of Colum-
bia, that this internal traffic in human
flesh is carried on, and that slave pen is
within sight of the Washington. Monu-
ment2 It does my heart good to see the
feeling which is excited among South
ern men. They look upon the slave-tra-
der,with even more adherence than we of
the North, and have no doubt that in
the list of names attached to the paper for
the relief of poor Sans wife, will be
found many ganerous SHAREHOLDERS"

rEEver since Jenny Lind set the whole
western world mad by her singing Of
aComin' thro' the Rye" that arch and
beautiful but most unfortunate song has
been made the subject Of parodies innu-
merable, and twistifcations painful to con-
template. Lately some Of ous cotempo-
raries have been vieing with each other in
the stringing Of nonsensical parody com
mencements of The same song, which have
finally rolled up the following;

A Contented Farmer.

Once upon time Frederick, King of
Prussia, surnamed aOld Fritz" took ride
and espied an old farmer, plowipg his acre
by the way side cheerily singing his mel
ody.
"You must be well of, old man." said
the king. "Does this ace belong to you,
on which you so industriously laborl"
"No, sir, replied the farmer who did
not know be was the king; II am not SO
rich as that, l p1ow for wages"
SHOW much do you get dayi" asked
the king.
"EigLt groschen," (about twenty five
cents,) said the farmer.
"This is not much," replied the king;
scan you get along with this?"
"Get along and have something left"
"How is thati"
The farmer smiled and said.
"Well, if / must tell you: Two gros-
chen are for myself and wife; two TO pay
my old debts; two ! lend away; and two |
give away for the Lords sake"
"This is mystery that I cannot solve,
replied the king.
"Then l will solve it for you," said the
farmer.
81 have two old parents at home who
kept me when I was weak and needed
help, keep them. This is my debt TO-
ward which Ipay two two groschen day.
The third pair Of groschen which I lend
way I spend for my children, that they
may receive Christian instruction. This
will become handy to me and my wife
whsn we get old. With the last two gros-
chen maintain two sick sisters, whom 1
would not be compelled TO keep; this /
give for the Lords sake.
The king well pleased with his answer,
said:
aBravely spoken, old man. Now I will
also give you something to guess. Have
you ever seen me before.
aNever," said the farmer.
'In less than FIVE minutes you shall see
me fifty times and carry in your pocket fif-
ty of my likenesses."
"This is riddle I cannot unravel,
said the farmer.
"Then I will do it for you" replied the
king.
Thrusting his hand into his pocket, and
counting him fifty bran-new gold peices
into his hand stamped with his royal like
ness, be said to the astonished farmer, who
knew not what was coming:
"Tbe coin is genuine, for it also comes
from our Lord God, and I am his paymas
ter. I bid you adieu. German Reform
ed Messenger.
