On last Friday morning an athletic younl
farmer in the town of Waynesburg, took 8
fair girl all bathed in blushes " from he
parents, and started for the first town across
the Pennsylvania line to be married, where
the ceremony could be performed without 6
license. The happy pair were accompanied
by sister of the girl, a tall, gaunt, sharp

Explosion of the Propeller Globe

The propeller Globe, which exploded at
Chicago, in ,the river, on Thursday last,
left Buffalo on the first instant, with eight
or nine passengers, and cargo of 5000
barrels Of apples. She arrived at Chicago
at AZ Am. Says the Journal: -a...
/ At the time of the accident, all of the
passengers had left the boat. The engineers
and frenen were in the engine room taking
off cylinder head. The steam had been
blown off from one of the boilers and the
fire put out. The other boiler had but little
steam on, as they had just commenced GET
ting it up to hoist freight. aiiL fG h39:
While thus engaged, the boiler exploded
with terrific force, tearing the propeller into
atoms, and strewing the housetops, streets,
and the river with the splintered debris.
As soon as possible, q large gang of firemen
under the supervision of Chief Engineer
Harris, aided by citizens, commenced clear.
ing away the wreck.
The force of the shock was terrible. The
long block of buildings adjoining on the
North side of the river, was shaken as by
an earthquake. The windows were all
broken and ceilings destroyed. Several
buildings on the West side of Wells street
were cracked and otherwise damaged. The
windows on the river side of the Board of
Trade buildings were all broken, and many
also in Gilbert, Hubbard & Co.'s building
on South Water street. -. "~'-
The telegraph wires on Water street were
snapped in several places, and roofs of build
ings at considerable distance from the
wreck, were broken by the falling beams.
The long shed or warehouse on the North
side of the river, reaching from Wells to
Clark street bridge, was broken through in
many places. n ~.Etu- =. -
One of the tenders of the boat, weighing
about two hundred pounds, was blown
through the air, and hurled into the rear
of Larrabee & North's dry goods store,
over block from the dock, in its course

The Globe was an old boat, owned by Dr..
Helmer, of Lockport, New York. She was
valued at SIS 900, and insured for $4,000.

sixteen lives lost. The Coronor's Jury were

NEW YORK AFTER DARK.

Curious Stories. -.I. |.l"
Editorial Correspond ence of the Philadelphia Press.
New YORK, October u, 1860.
have been sojouruipg in this vast human
hive for several days past, and have fulfilled
long-deferred promise to make tour of
those portions of the city in which the worst
phases of poverty and vice are to be wit.
messed. The task has not been a pleasant
one. To see what have seen, and to bear
up in the face of every variety of degrada-
ton, required deal of resolution; but hav-
ing resolved to 60 through with it, I did
not blanch or falter from the hour of start
ing, about eight o'clock last night, until,
tired and nauseated, reached my hotel at
2 o'clock this morning, too glad to enjoy the
necessary renovation of a bath, and sleep,
refreshing, it is true, but crowded with
dreams of the horrid sights and scenes which
have just passed before my eyes. Having
secured the friendly and necessary aid Of
two excellent detectives attached to the ad.
mirable city police, six of us, making the
whole party eight in all, issued forth upon
our mission.
The FIRST place we reached was the police
station-house near the Metropolitan. As
we entered one of those sad trials was taking
place that are only too common in New
York. Two unfortunate girls were ar
Ranged before the lieutenant of police on
charge of disorderly conduct. The lieuten>
ant, who acted in the double capacity of
clerk and judge, first heard the story of the
officers who had them in charge. watched
this mans cold, stony eye-his pale, faded
face-and soon realized that familiarity
with bis occupation had wholly blunted his
sensibilities. He paid little attention to
the defence of the painted, over-dressed crea.
lures before him, but entered their names
and ages on his book, and then, with q
hard, metallic voice, directed the officer to
take them below, lock them up and let them
have no light. "Oh, for the love of God,"
said one of the girls, with tears in. her eyes,
as she turned from the impassable lieuten-
ant to the strange spectators-" for the love
of God, not beloto, not doWn there-I have
done nothing but drink little more than I
ought to have DONE" Her veil was up.
She had been handsome once and sweet
smile had not wholly fed from her face.
Perhaps she had left some happy home to
hide her shame; perhaps she had nobody to
care for her. Alas if she is now sought,
she will be found, probably "down below"-
her fortune, like her cell, " dark" and her
fate unlighted, save by the mercy of re-
deeming God. Her companion was closely
yelled, and followed her into the cellar
prison with silent and trembling steps. ''
We turned from this rather sorrowful
opening, got into our carriages and drove
to the lower wards. 1t is some fifteen

excellent friend Matsell, passed along

A NATIONAL HYMN.

Daniel Webster said Of the following poem, "This
beautiful hymn 'The Rock in the Wilderness, from
the pen of Cen Morris, contains the whole history Of
the landing OF the Pilgrims in sixteen lines 1t is the
best ever written besides being the shortest"
A rock In the wilderness welcomed our sires
From bondage far the dark rolling sea;
On that holy altar they kindled the fires,
Jehovah, which glow in our bosoms for Thee.
Thy blessings descended in sunshine aud shower,
Or rose from the soil that sown by Thy hand !
The mountain and valley reoiccd in Thy power,
And Heaven encircled and smiled on the land.
The Pilgrims Of an example have given
Of mild resignation, devotion and love,
Which beams like the star in the blue vault of heaven
A beacon-liglt swung in the mansion above;
In church and cathedral we kneel in our prayer
Their temple and chapel were valley and hill
But God is the same in the aisle or the mir,
And He is the Rock that We lean upon still.

DIAMOND OR PASTE.

There has been much talk in Paris for a few
days past OF an adventure of Russian who is
very rich, and has great passion for diamonds.
At house to which he was introduced he saw,
one evening, seated at card table, a Young man
very elegantly dressed, and having on his fin
ger superb diamond ring which, as he han
died the cards, reflected the light very brilliant
" in every direction. The diamond naturally
attracted the attention of the Russian, who
asked permission to examine it. He looked at
it, tried it on and became so enamored with it
that he offered to purchase. The young man
declined, on the ground of family associations,
which made him unwilling to part with it. A
larger sum was offered, but again declined
The Russian still persisted. AT length the
young man told him that if there were no other
reason he could not think of selling it, as il
was not a genuine diamond. Astonshmen,
succeeded admiration in the mind Ct the Rus
sian, and he asked the loan of il for a single
day. Consent was courteously given, and he
took the ring to his jeweller, who pronounced
it diamond of the first water. He sought
again the young man.
Monsieur, he sail to him, Il return you youl
ring here it is; but | am still very anxious to
purchase it. l ought to tell you, however, that
my jeweler pronounces it II genuine diamond
l offer you six thousand francs
y our Jewel!er Is mistaken. l cannot accept
six thousand francs for what l know to be &
mere DIT of glass
But if want the hit of CLASP
'Stili, l am not willing to cheat you
But insist on being cheated
Very well; you may have your wish on on,
condition, that you will sign paper saying
that of your own free will, you give six thou
sand francs for what assure is only morse
of glass
The paper was readily signed, the ring giver
mp, and the Russian went off triumphant. A
few days aftcrward meeting his jeweller, h,
showed him, exultingly, his new purchase. TIT
jeweller glanced at it; then examined it more
closely.
This time he remarked quietly, it is paste.
The ring, undoubtedly, had been adroily ex
changed at the moment of delivery; but tn,
paper the Russian had signed left him. O
course, without any legal remedy.
