Music was all that could have been expected
from the general good taste of Boston. The
decorations; the supper-table; the dances; the
order and regularity4-al were everything that
could be desired. The Prince danced the first
time with the lady of Mayor Lincoln, and after
wards with Mrs Governor Banks, Mrs Wise,
daughter of Mr. Everett, Miss Crownngshield,
daughter of +. b. Crowningshied, Miss Amory,
Miss Richie, Mrs Col. Chickering, Miss Lyman
and others. At twelve o'clock midnight, the
supper came of, and at a. M, the rooms were
like "a banquet hall deserted" Some 200
persons were present.
On the 10Th of October the Royal party Wis
tied Harvard, Mount Auburn, Bunker Hill and
the Public Library; and on the Goth they left
for Portland, Maine where they embarked on
board the fleet in waiting for them and set sail
for Bermuda. AS the storm set in here on the
morning of the DIST, it is presumed that the
feet soon met with tcnipcstuous weather.
The fleet consists of the steamships Hero,
Nile, Ariadnc, Styx and Flying Fish The
Hero the ship upon which the Prince embarked,
carries ninety guns and has a crew of 500 men.
The ceremonies accompanying the embarkation
in Portland harbor were grand and exciting in
extreme. The yards were all manned with the
sailors; and time and again the sea was hid
from view and the roar of its voice drowned by
the smoke and roar of artillery from the ships
and the forts, and the cheers of thousands of
rough voices poured forth in the stirring hur-
rah mingled with strains of God Sdre The Queen.
God save the Prince too, appears to be the
hearty good wish of these United States OF
America.
The Prince while at the Revere House, had
an interesting interview with Mr. Farnham, the
old Revolutionary soldier, who said that from
all that he heard in praise Of the Prince OF
Wales he feared that the people were becoming
royaists. The Prince was sociablc and cordial
The presents and largesses bestowed by the
Prince while in the country were suitable to his
princey condition. They were numerous, and
often costly. Not the least interesting one oil
these was Il diamond brooch surmounted by his
crest which he gave 20 Miss Matte Taylor OF
Newport, Kentucky. 1t was presented to her
in token of his pleasant remembrance Of the
Cincinnati ball, where Miss Taylor, who was
selected one Of his partners, appears 10 have
charmed him with her society and dancing.

HANGING AT PIXIES PEAK - EXECU-
TON OF GORDON THE MURDERER.

James \. Gordon, the murderer Of John
Giants, was hanged at Denver City, ON the 9th
inst. The circumstances Of the murder, and
subsequent arrest and execution of the culprit,
created unparalleled excitement in the noun
tains. On the morning of the execution. Cor
don expressed himself several times willing
to be shot, and hoped some friend would shoot
him he did not want To be dragged to the gal
lows and there hung up like dog. IF some
one will only shoot me, can die content" he
said. The clergy called upon him during the
morning, and religious services were performed
in the room in which the condemned was con-
fined, in which he appeared to take a deep in
tercst.
At three o'clock, Sheriff Middaugh entered
the room. and told Gordon that all was ready
and that he must put on his coat and 20. The
prisoner said he preferred to ride to the gallows
in his shirt sleeves, and then asked the sheriff
if ne had personally examined the gallows, to
ascertain if it was rightly constructed and strong
for he wanted to die quick The official assured
him that all IVES right. They then descended
the stairs into the street together; unassisted,
Gordon entered the buggy, stood up in it a me-
ment, gazing around upon theSrowd, and then
sat down. There were no mauacles upon his
limbs The Sheriff seated himself beside the
prisoner, the order was given, and the guard
formed in line, and moved on towards the place
of execution at a slow pace. On the way Cor
don recognized friend on the street, waving
his hands towards him, and, attempting to smile
burst into tears. When he came in sight of
the gallows, with the rope swinging from it, he
asked the Sheriff il he was going to attend to
the hanging himself
Middaugh answered in the negative, saving
he had appointed deputy to do it. Gordon
then insisted upon his doing it STAND by me
now; this is my st hour on earth. prefer
that you should hang NEEDN'T leave it for an
other German. or anybody that hates me-
Moved by his earnest supplcations, the Sheriff
finally consented to perform the unpleasant
duty.
The prisoner mounted the platform with Il
hurried step, accompanied by the clergy; all
knelt in prayer
The condemned then addressed the people,
thanking his friends for their kindness. and
hoped they would take lesson from his dread
ful fate, and abstain from the use of all intoxi-
eating drinks, assuring them that he was Il re-
formed man, and if he could have lived, he
would have proven it to them; but AS it was,
they could only have his word for it, Then
turning to the Sheriff he begged of him to be
sure and fix the rope SO il would dislocate his
neck Immediately, eXclaiming, "Oh, my God I!
my God that some friend would shoot me-"
The rope was adjusted. the drop fell, and
James \. Gordon was no more. For twenty
two minutes the body hung; it was then cut
down and delivered To his friends and the crowd
quietly dispersed.

DFFACING Observation-Disclosures on the New
York Central Railroad will remember that their
baggage is better cared for there than on the
New England roads. \ check is put upon
piece of baggage, with the name of the place at
which it is to be deposited upon the check
There can be no mistake made The piece is
to go to the place which the check designates,
and nowhere else. If it should go by, ii would
come back. There is no possibility of erasure,
and the passenger holds in his hand virtual
contract to deliver his baggage at the place Of
his destination. On the New England roads it
isn't half the time that n check will be given at
all. A man may take new vaise or trunk
which, very possibly, stands in his room at home,
and which he would like to keep clean, and the
first time he presents it to baggage master it
will be chalked all over. This chalk, especially
when put upon carpet-bags and yalises, is rub
bed of upon the pantaloons. A fortnight of
travel spoils the looks of the incest trunk or
yalise, even if the hotels keep their nasty pla-
cards away from it. Baggage does not seem to
be regarded as private property at ali. 1t can
be chalked and pasted and bruised at liberty
Why do not our railroads all adopt the system
of the New York Central?
The above remarks from the Springfield Re
publican are worthy of especial attention by
railroad agents. Besides defacing baggage, our
employees also bang it about in a way that
would render them liable for damages at the
law, if prosecuted There is nothing which an
noys some travellers more than to have their
trunks violently handled; and it would be mo-
tive enough with them, if pleasure seekers, to
avoid the depots where it is done.

TWENTY FIFTH ANNIvERsARY OF THREE
NORTHERN Mons AGAINST ABOIITIoNIsTS.-
Yesterday. Oct. Dist. 1860, completed twenty
five years since the famous riot in Boston, known
afterwards as the mob Of "Gentcmen in Broad
CLOTH" when an abolition meeting was broken
up and VIM. LLOYD Garrison came near losing
his life The riot occurred in the afternoon of
the day, that part of Washington street between
State street and Dock square being filed with
people, who began expressing their luminosity
with shouts of derison at small meeting of
abolitionists gathered in building near the
entrance of Dock square. y sign OF the Bos-
ton Li6erdt0r was torn down and broken
Finally the mob got upon the tracks of Mr..
Garrison, who, as he was making his way
through the buildings to Wilson's lane, was
seized and rope placed about his neck with
the idea of hanging him from window
At this point. however, he was rescued and
taken to the City Hall, then at the head of
State street. No other place of safety could he
found, but the Jail and to that place he was
taken in a carriage, by the Mayor, and kept for
the night. On the way, however, the mob, who
were in sharp pursuit, nearly overturned the
carriage by casting ropes around it. The next
morning, the Boston Adcocdte, edited by Hon.
b. f. Hallett, came out in powerful leader,
denouncng the inertness of the authorities and
declaring that it was the duty of the Mayor, if
he could not dispense the mob by any other
means to plant cannon and sweep the street.
1t is a curious fact that Rev. Samuel ]. MAY,
a warm abolitonist was mohbed at Montpelier,
and Gcrritt Smith, and Beriah Green at Utica,
New York, on the the same day, Oct Dist, 1885.

"BREAK-BoNE FEvER"-A correspondent
of the Charleston Courier, writing from New
Orleans September 2jth gives the following ac-
count of this painful fever, which about that
time was raging in the Crescent city. lie says:
Il shall now talk about the 'Dangue,' which
is just now breaking the bones and spelling the
tempers Of half the population OF Orleans.
One feels with it as if he had been running Il c
gauntlet between a regiment Of vindictive exc
cutioners. armed all with cowhides, well laid
on or had been turned over three cr four times
in the fond embrace of a boa constructor; or
had been drawn through a small bunghole twice
and back again; universal is the distribution
of pain the patient suffers among his bones, his
muscles, his nerves, and his other corporeal be-
longings. DIR. Rush called it the break-bone
fever when it prevailed half century or so
ago in Philadelphia. And very good name,
as far as it goes, that is. 1t would have been
equally so had he called it the kil-nerve fever,
or the flesh -scarrifying fever, or the temper
destroying fever, or the universal crushing and
body -and-soul destroying fever, for it seems to
be all of those while il lasts. Its symptoms are
pleasingly various and comprehensive; pain,
stiffness, and swelling of the joints stiffness of
the neck; aching of the back and ons fever,
headache, sutfusion of the eyes; full beating
pulse; hot dry skin giddness Of the head
restleSSness and thirst The doctors manage
TO mustard plaster, cathartacise, sweat and
starve the fever out of you by the end of the
third dey. This leaves you in a pleasing state
of depletion and prostration, like wrung-out
rag"
The above is pretty good description of the
"BEEAK- BONE FEVER" bu, it is nothing in
comparison to the effect which is sometimes
produced upon men of honesty and decency by
the social and political atmosphere of New
Orleans. From amidst their influences Walker
came forth as naturally and gracefully as did
Venus from the sea. II Walker had never
lived his place would have been supplied by
myth.

THE PRINCES SuRNAME.-A correspondent
curious in family names writes to us giving the
result of his inquiries concerning the family
name of the Prince consort, the father of the
Prince of Wales. He says it is "Busichi,' and
that consequently the real name of the young
gentleman now travelling in the United States
as Baron Renlrew, is "Albert Edward Busich"
He adds that if he should survive his mother
he will be the first British sovereign of the
Busichi dynasty, the Panagenets, the Tudors,
the Stuarts, and tbs Guelphs, or D'Estes being
all gone. We see no reason to question the ac-
curacy of our correspondents statement But
it is quite enough to excite curiosity as to the his
tory of the name, which is evidently of Italian
origin. In family history there is no mention
of any person OF distinction named Busichi.

THE PRINCE OF WALES IN BOSTON.

OCTOBER 18th 1860.
All the ceremonies on the occasion of the
visit of the Prince of Wales to Boston were
well conducted and came off without any un-
lucky accident or inadvertcnce. In fact we
have a just cause of pride that the capital city
of New England gave reception so respectful
alike to lis own dignity and that of the English
people. As our correspondent T. has not Civ
en- so full an account Of the affair as We could
wish, we add few items to render the nara
tive complete.
First the review of the troops on Boston
Common by the Prince was a splendid display
of Martial pomp and dicplirc, and was wit
messed by an eager and delighted crowd of 100
600 spectators. After period of some eighty
and odd years of self-governmcnt. the capital
of Massachusetts was as orderly and exact as if
it had remained under the home government
up to THO day.
After the review the troops marched through
several streets of the city up to the State House.
