- Conjugal affection does not rate high in
our goodly capital of Columbus One Bowers
was so unfortunate as. to,lose the regard and
the society. of his young wife---the former
being transferred to an earlier lover, the lat
ter bestowed on her friends, to the, exclusion
of her husband. Naturally indignant, he
sought revenge in the law, and brought an
action against the lover md his friend,
through whose conspiration such an unhappy
result was brought to pass. Two trials were
bad; in the first the intelligent twelve re-
turned a verdict for the sum of $1,000. A
new trial was ordered, new evidence put in,
and the second verdict was only for $500.
What the mitigating circumstances were,
whether the love of the wife was proved to
be worth little, or whether it was shown that
the husband had not appeared to value it at
q high rate while he had il, can not be stated.
The melancholy yet stern fact stands: An
Ohio jury have settled that 5000 represents
the market value of wife's affection.

Present political Aspect of Naples.

A letter to the Providence (R. ~ Journal,
from Naples, gives the following in relation
to the political aspect of the country: o.l.y
As the young sovereign drives through the
streets Of his capital IL isinteresting to notice
such exhibitions'of loyalty as come from diff
ferent classes of his subjects. | have re-
peatedly seen the king driving himself in an
open four-wheeled vehicle, witha single COM
panion Of the court and one or two footmen.
The signs of recognition from the citizens
were not frequent certainly by no means
general. The people seem telregard the king
with indifference, and the King the people
But such is not the condition of feeling with
the head of the State toward the army. As
the king passes the military stationsyand the
soldiers give the salute, by roll of drums and
flourish of trumpets, the kings hat is sud-
denly pulled off and carried very humbly in
the hand until he has driven quite out of
sight. In mcontrast with this, the naughty air
of unbending pride toward the people is
marked. The king knows that the army is
his only hope. If that fails him, his fate is
fixed; and like the Pope and Dukes, he must
flee from the wrath of the people which he
and his Bourbon race have so long oppressed.
Regiments of German and Swiss continue to
be formed. Their hard, stupid faces, one can
easily distinguish in the mass of olive-skin-
ned, dark-eyed Italian soldiers Naples
swarms with troops. Their constant march,
ings and couhter-marchings give additional
liveliness to the streets of acify, which, with
a population Of more than half a million, is
sufficiently bustling and noisy The troops
are for the most part strong men, well fed,
well disciplined, and well conditioned; but il
is a melancholy sight to seeIso much physical
energy thrown away or made the instrument
of despotism. There can be no hope for
popular liberty in a country in which law
can, not be enforced and order maintained
without the aid Of great standing army. 2

believes that the French despot, vino has
crushed out the liberty Of France, is the child
Of God, in a good sense, and was raised up
by Divine Providence to bless the French
people in particular and Europe in general,
as the enemy of freedom; and maddened by
this phrenzfed idea, she has been inditing
some magnificent poems, so far as the versi-
fication and imagery CO. but utterly execra-
bic, when taken in connection with the impi-

like Mrs. Browning could, for moment be
detifuded and dazzled out Of her sound iudg-

will Overrule his tyranny for the common

mass which boils and rolls out in a manner to
strike terror into those who approach near

of the scene. AT night the mountain ap-
pears to be gashed with fiery scars, and by
day II is seen to be mantled with hOrrid black
folds Of lava, which stretch for miles down
its sides. The adventurous travellers who
now seek TO make the ascent are nearly dis
couraged by the formidable distractions
which these masses OF lava present. Not
withstandtng this the mountain is every day
covered with parties eager to reach the top"

"A fewtdays since several Virginia politi.
clans called at the White House to pay
their respects to the President, and in the
course Of the conyersptionMr B. related the
following with great glee:
when Vice7President Breckenridge visited
Kentucky last December, for the purpose OF
raling i.is speech before the Legislature, he
met General leslie Combs, the old Clay
leader of the. Whig party of that State, and
addressed him asfollows; General Combs.
you have performed longer service and more
valuable service to your party, with less re-
ward, than any living man. To which Gen.
Combs promptly replied major Breckin-
ridge, you have performed shorter service
and less service for your party, with greater
TsyerTa,l than any living man. CWhereupon
they 'liquored.'
Mr.. Buchanan narrated this story to his
friends with great gusto, adding that Z "many
a truth was spoken in Jest, and he thought
the old General about right in his estimation

Destructive Fire In the Jersey Pines-A
rf,,I S1oua

Fearful scene.
The Mt. Holly IN. J.) Mirror of late date
observes: H1 3it %
"A fire was raging in the pines in Burling-
ton County, last week, TO a fearful extent.
and of course, doing great damage. II started
at Garontown, halfway between Red Lion
and Friendship. IT., course was across to
Ex-Sherif Dobbin's tract at Retreat, from
there to Burr's Mill, thence by Browns Hill,
toward Mingen's, in the vicinity of which
place il was burning on Friday. The ex-
tent Of its ravages at that time was dis
tance of about six miles in length, by three
in breadth. .....f ..t.,.I '.t', r.t..
The most Of the, timber that il passed
through was of second growth, belonging to
General Trick, John S. Trick, John Wo6lston,
S. a. Dobbins, w. II. Trick and others.
The fire originated bysome men, at Garon-
town, burning over a few acres of meadow,
for the benefit Of the spring pasture. IL being
excessively dry, and the wind high, as soon
as the fire was kindled the flames spread in
all directions, and il was impossible to check
or control them. -.
The ire, at the last accounts, was doing
considerable damage, and il is not believed
can be fully extinguished while the present
dry, windy weather continues. ~
The Mannahawxin stage, on its way to
Mount Holly, on Friday, met with narrow
escape from the ilre. Inc driver, before he
was aware of it, found himself almost in the
midst of the flames. The great body of the
fire, however, Seemed to be in advance of
him, and he turned around to make good his
escape, but he had not. proceeded far before
the flames checked him in his retreat, and he
was obliged to pursue his journey in another
direction. 10
In short time he again found himself Sur
rounded by the flames. He saw no other
course to pursue but to go straight ahead,
and urging his horses to their utmost speed
hoped soon to be free from the devouring ele-
ment. But when he was surrounded by the
greatest body of fire and smoke, his horses
became frightened and stopped, and it was
impossible to move them. Here they re-
manned for minute or two, the fire roaring
and cracking to a terrific extent, when sud-
denly, the smoke clearing away, the horses
started, and the driver found that the great
mass of fire had crossed the road short dis
tance in advance, and was making the most
fearful ravages in its track to the right of him.
He was soon enabled to get entirely out of
its path, and felt that he had never before
been in SO terrible position. AT one time
It appeared to him that the flames must en-
tirely surround him and cut off all means of
escape. He had two female passengers, and
as may be supposed, they were frightened
beyond all description. Fearing that they
would perish in the fire and smoke, their
screams were frequently of the most painful
nature. -t .r, .,,r IT. -,

The Present Population of the United
states-Census Of 1886. -raf

IL. StRtes-Oensus Of 1850. ruf. A
The New York Times remarks in recent
issue; ie ri' .illf Lil
Such has been the uniform growth Of the
| United States for seventy years past, that
the aggregate result of the census of 1860 in
regard TO population, is no mystery. We
know almost exactly what the aggregate is
to be; and for a majority of the States we
know almost the precise results. In the gem
eral and particular estimates, there are, how
ever, two Udridbles. These are, first, the
amount of foreign immigration and its dis
tribution and, secondly, the amount and dis
tribution of domestic nli0rdhons. But, to cor
rect these, we have some very accurate data.
We have, for example, the whole amount Of
immigration from Europe in the last ten
years; next, we have the average rate of NOR
tality, showing how many Of these are.now
dHvei and, although we do not know the
precise amount OF domestic migration, we
know certain general facts: that the great
current Of migration is to the West, and
chiefly to the Northwest. In addition TO all
these general data, some of the States took
semi-decennial censuscs in 1855. The States
of Massachusetts,, New York, Georgia Flor
ida, Alabama, Louisiana, Illinois, Iowa and
Wisconsin, took the census in 1855, and Ar
kansas in 1854. rr.>.,.. '
In these States, situated in different parts
OF the Union, an almost exact estimate can
be made, and they indicate very clearly the
degree Of growth in their respective sections.
In some of the States also the number of
slaves is given for taxation. A calculation
based on these facts for each particular State,
gives an aggregate little larger than what
the general ratio of growth would give. Is
that likely to be trucp We think 1t is, for
this reason. Between 1860 and 1860 there
arrived in the United States one million of
foreign immigrants. more than had arrived
between 1870 and 1850. Deducting from
these the proper ratio of deaths, and there
would remain of these at least Seren hundred
thousand in 1860. This is to be added to the
aggregate obtained by applying the ratio of
principles as the basis of calculation, wehave
the. following result for each State of the
Union: 30 p ? q I---

The ARAwoNpA, OR ToLLING BELL BIRD
Among the highest woods and deepest glens
OF Brazil a soundiss sometimes heard, so singu-
like the distant and solemn tolling of a church
bell struck at intervals, This extraordinary
noise proceeds from the Arawonda. The
bird sits at the top Of, the highest trees in the
deepest forests, and though constantly heard
in the most desert places, it is very rarely
seen. II is impossible to conceive anything
of a more solitary character thar, the pro-
found silence of the woods, broken only by
the metallic and almost supernatural sound Of
this invisible bird, coming from the air, and
seeming ,to. follow wherever you. go. The
its eyes its sizeis about that of small pigeon.

Curious Instance of Alleged Seduction and
Abduction in Tennessee. yt-l.-


The Nashville Banner of late date observes:
A somewhat mysterious account of seduc-
ton came to our notice yesterday in the fol-
lowing manner; Ayoung and rather pretty
woman who would give no other name than
that of "Mollie," applied to one of the Deputy
City Marshals yesterday, and implored his
aid in the recovery of her child, which she
said had been taken from her. Upon cross
examination by the officer, the following his4
tory of the transaction was brought to light:
IL was the old story. Like many other un-
fortunates, she had loved--not wisely, il
seems, but too well. She had listened once
too often to the syren notes of the deeeiver
had fingered too long near the witchery of
the serpents. music, and had fallen an easy
victim into the coils. She had lived in Will
hanson, she said, and SO had her betrayer.
He persuaded her to come to, Nashville, and
she complied, (and, by theway, this is one of
the causes why the list of abandoned females
is so alarmingly on the increase in our moral
day night, and shortly afterward became
mother. .., a....t. .tI1 fte' L. .s.d 'i t''
Her betrayer, the father of her child, came
to her and obtained her consent to have the
child removed. She was living then at a
house on Spruce-street formerly occupied
by Amelia Perry. After twenty-four hours
separation from her offspring, she experienced
q longing to have him back again, and pre-
vailed upon the officer to assist her in recoy-
ering it.. The officer went, according to di-
rections, to a shoemaker,s in South Nash
vile, where, he procured the child and re-
stored it to its mother, The parties who had
the child in possession stating that it had
been brought there to be taken care of Al
together, it is rather a singular case. Itnot
often happens that the father manifests such
an attachment for pledges of affection" pn-,

friendship ismore frequently Fonthe mothers
