The Yicksburg Wig of May 80 de-
scribes another horrible renconfre in
Mississippi, which resulted in the death
of two well-known citizens of the town
OF Warrenton. A DR.. Bell had been in
the habit Of wishing at the house Of a
DR.. Selser, but bis visits becoming disa-
greeable to sister Of DIR. Selser, the
the latter at bis sisters request, sent Bell
a note asking him to discontinue his yis-
its. DR.. Bell, in reply sent very in
sulling note, and did not discontinue his
visits. Dr.. Selser did not meet Bell
again, however until few evenings ar.
ter, when he demanded an explanation
for the insulting message received from
bin. Instead Of giving the desired IN
formation, however. Bell drew knife
and stabbed Selser in the neck, seyering
a number Of arteries and causing HE
immediate death. Gel. DeGrilfin, by

The most popular tune since the publ
catibn of "Old Folks at Home" in the
United States, is the plantation negro mel
ody of "Dixie's Land" Throughout the
Eastern States tits creating perfect fu-
rors. tits played and sung everywhere, by
brass bands, string bands, orchestras and
serenaders-is wbistled by ragged urchins
in the streets, and by calopes on steam
boats, and forms one of the chief attrac-
tons in the musical soirees Of the parlor.
During the visit of the Prince of Wales
to the St Louis Fair, it was alternated with
"God Save the Queen" Yankee Doodle"
''Hail to the Chief" '.Hail Columbia" and
other national airs Of the two countries.

An amusing anecdo,e is told in regard to
it, which happened lately at st. Louis
theatre. The orchestra played it, when
the curtain rose and the play began. But
the audience would not listen. The cry
of "Dixie" ran through the house from pit
TO gallery, completely drowning the voice
of the actor. He made several Intellectual
attempts to be heard and left the stage.
The old manager appeared, flushed with
anger, and in an excited voice exclaimed,
Gentlemen, what means all this ill-man-
nered confusion? What do you want?'
Immediately hundred voices cried out
'.Dixie.n "Well," said the manager, you
can't have it. You've had Dixie once to.

He retired to the green room, and the
actor again appeared. But 1T was no use.
A deafening shout for Dixie" met him
from the audience, and after stammering
and suffering for aIfew moments, he left the
stage. The curtain dropped, the orchestra
played Dixie" and the play progressed
without any further interruption.

A Spiritual Marriage.

The Boston Trav65ler tells theIstory of
the marriage of dentist of that city with a
lady medium, his wonderful matrimonial
exper fences and the ultimate dissolution of
that affinity, after eighteen months. The
dentist was introduced, some two years
ago, to a lady whose husband had deserted
her, and gone to Kansas, since which she
had taken up the profession of spiritual
mediumship. She was fair and attractive,
and admiration Of her spiritual gift COM
bined with her personal charms to capt..
vate the bachelors heart. Besides the
spirits Told them they were made for each
other, and they were willingly obedient to
the heavenly vision. They were married,
but the honeymoon had hardly began W hen
the wife became subject to strange frances,
during which she would pull her husbands
hair, scratch him and otherwise violently
belabor him, most commonly when he was
in bed and exposed and defenceless
When she was aroused from the trance
she was full OF regrets at what had hap
pened. At the bidding of the spirits he
took her with him to Texas, where she pro-
claimed him an abolitioniSt and he narrow
ly escaped violence at the hands Of the
mob. When they got back, the spiritual
prosecutions continuing, and the poor hus-
band finding that his sufierings of mind,
body and estate were greater than he could
bear, suggested separation, and obtained
it by paying handsomely After the sepa-
ration the woman confessed that she had
imposed upon him throughout, that her
frances We're feigned, that she beat and
scratched him because she wanted to, that
all the spiritual messages she had receiv. d
We're of her own manufacture. The den
fist has had an experience hard enough TO
make him wise, but he still believes in
Spiritualism, only he thinks the devil must

The senator and the Dromios.

The senior Mr.. Guy, Of the Nationa
Hotel, at Washington, bears quite like
ness to to Gen. Cass, and upon this the
correspondent of the New York Times tells
the following stor,

host very well, put up at..the National the

the next morning, lite cross, he met
Gen. Cass, who has fine suit of rooms
there, in the hall, stepped up to him, and
in language more torcible and rapid than
elegant, sad:
"Pli be id if IN stand it You've

General Cass, interposing and nervous

friend Guy. Beg thousand pardons, sir.

The General passed out of the building
but soon returned as luck would have it,
the stranger met him full in the face again
but in another position. This time he was
sure he had mine host, for the Senator of
Michigan he knew had just gone out. So
the stranger stepped boldly up, slapped
the General heartily and familiarity ON the
shoulder, and exclaimed:
BY heavens, Guy, / have got rich

just now, thought it was you, and began
cussin him about my ROOM"
General Cass, with emphasis, "Well

The Navies OF England and France.

Some experiments which were recently
made with heavy Armstrong gun, the
exact result Of which have not been al
lowed to transpire, have, says the Observer,
shown that iron-rlated ships will not be
able to resist the FiIe of these guns. The
trials made last August with the Stork
gun boat, with 68-pounders discharged
against iron and steel plates, at distance
of two hundred yards, showed that iron or
steel clad ships could really be more easily
destroyed at that distance than ship en-
tirely OF timber, and since that period it
has been found that 9S-pounder is cap
able of completely perforating four inch
iron plates. 1t has been found that with a
charge of only five pounds OF powder, 80
pound shot may be thrown from this gun
distance of five and half miles. The
great steam ram now in course of construc-
ton at the Thames Ironworks will be
armed with thirty-SiX Of the Armstrong
guns, each oil which will be capable Of
throwing a shot of one hundred poupds
weight distance of five miles. This ex-
traordinary addition to our naval power
will be $50 feet in length, So in breadth,
IL in depth; her tonnage GIFT tons !;
the engines are to be of l $50 horse power;
her total weight at sea 5000 tons, and her
speed l6 miles an hour.
A most remarkable vessel of war is now
being designed by Mr.. Page, to be sub
mitted to Her Majesty's Government, of
such nature as to defy the utmost power
of existing ordnance, and which will be
capable Of throwing with accuracy 700
explosive shells per hour into any dock
yard three miles distant. The ships which
England possesses ior using the heavy ord
nance Of the present day consist of 464
steam vessels OF all classes, and 296 sailing
ships, making total of 760 vessels afi0at,

site side of the channel We have an ally
who owns $50 sailing ships and go sailing

HOW They Fail.

1t is seldom that young man sets out
in life with a determination of living VIC
iously. His intentions are correct enough,
but he is weak. He mingles with men
older than himself, with whom it is graft
flying to his vanity to associate. He finds
among them habits Of thought, expression
and action, which in bis very soul be
loathes but he is weak how can he re-
sist the evil Nay, how can he avoid
taking part in it, unless he wishes to ap-
pear singular, and become the subject Of
his companions ridicule? By degrees the
unteehng or obscene conversation of his
companions becomes less disgusting and
more palstabie at length words that
would have made his cheek Jingle with
shame, or stung his conscience with re-
morse, become the wool Of his CONVERSE
ton. The licentions thought, the coarse
expression, the blasphemous oath, is vel

of the Prince.

The following from the Philadelphia
Press is the best and most satisfactory de
scription Of the appearance of the future
King OF the mighty Empire Of Britain, that
we recollect to have seen. 1t will be read
with more interest than the same amount
of reading devoted to the description Of
balls or receptions:
ALBERT Edward stood in the doorway Of
the car. All eyes recognized him simulta-
neousIy. There Wa ) general murmur of
there he is He stood in the doorway, a
slight, sallow young man, locking irreso-
lutely through large, blue eyes upon the
upturned glances radiating from his own.
His hair was sandy, or of very light
brown, strai ght and smoothly brushed. 1t
fell upon forehead not ample in breadth
and height, but distinctly featured and well
cut at the eye brows. His nose was aque-
line and large; his red ripe lips were heavy
and thick, and his cheeks and chin round
and iull. He had few shreds Of white
hairs, more properly furze,' upon his lip.
In body and limb he is not large, being, We
suppose, about five feet six inches in
hight, with shoulders slightly sloping, chest
only moderately broad, and figure neither
indicative Of slight nor Of particularly large
development, His lower limbs are not
long, and look to be somewhat muscular.
Ills face was expressive of embarrass-
ment, but withal open and frank. In com
pany more coDgenial to his years and ex-
periencc, Albert Edward might have looked
to better advantage. AS it was, he had the
appearance of sensitive young man ex-
cessively bored by his grace of New
castle, etc, aud unambitious of the collect |
i've stares Of the populace. He wore a |
white cashmere hat, which had been evi.
IDENTITY subjected to frequent conclusions,
and bore traces of being soiled. His col |
lar was turned down over purple silk |
scarf, in which glstened diamond pin
He wore thick, white or buff frock Goa.
of fine cloth, and pants of white and black
plaid which fell over patent leather boots.
His vest was dark. In his hand he carried |
a yellow cane bearing pear shaped head,
with which he frequently raped his
mouth aud teeth. This was the Prince of
England, the heir apparent to the leading
the world, whose boyish Saxon
face and yellow hair any pedestrian would
pass without glance or remark.
'"The Prince had not graceful movements;
ne walked with shutting sailor-like gait,
and bent his body forward"
