VILLAINoUs ATTEMPT TO THROW RAIL
WAY TRAIN FROM A SOUTHERN RoAD-Time
and time again have diabolical attempts been
made to throw the trains of the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad off the track, but there seems
to have been Providential interference to
prevent any very disastrous catastrophe
An attempt was made last evening beyond
Chinchula, which miraculouslY proved un-
doubt, counted ON the success of their effort

tached, were placed on the track between
the rails in a curve of the road, and not seen
by the engineer in time TO stop his train.
The cow-catcher threw it off clear of the

ATTRACTIvENEss OF WIDows.--Here is an
opinion from which we entirely dissent, but
which we publish for the benefit of those who
believe its truth
Young widows are always blithe. They
ever meet with smile and flattering words.
Can any one tell why2 Young widows pay
very scrupulous attention to dress. None
know SO well what colors, black or other
wise, are best suited to their complexion nor
what freaks Of millinery serve to highten the
beauty of their form. Their knowledge of
this subject they will put in practice. Does
any one know why2 Young widows, if at
first pleasant gay and agreeable, through
affectedness, become really so through habit.
1t is said she who marries second time is a
better wife to her second than TO her first
husband. Who can give reason if we have
not given i2 Young widows are the most
charming part of creation; the envy of one
sex and the beloved of the other and whyP

IL may be fancied that the trough Republi-

derogatory TO the Prince in the eyes of the
English subjects. We do not believe that
such apprehension can be entertained since
nothing could so clearly display vulgar

Fds to be found there among classes dis

would be literally true of the United States.
But apart from all these distractions, we
will venture to undertake, that if the Ameri-

so gratifying an attention as a visit from the
Prince Of Wales, they will make such pre-
parations as will protect him from every in
trusion while they are maintaining their own
honor and dignity There is no substantial
difficulty in the case. There would be
plenty of volunteers among the most eminent
men of the whole republic, commanding the
confidence of every class in every State, who

more than sufficient to embody the dignity
that doth hedge a king"-an escort more
happy in its conception, and in its service,
