Special washington despatch to a \. y. papsr.I

L
wisaIxeroS, Monday, April 1, ,6l.
According to accounts received here to-
day from the Richmond Convention, the
action of the so-callsd Conservatives may
lead to results as pernieious as those con-
templated by their nominal opponents.
The plan now is to accept the report which
fayors convention Of the Border States,
and accompany 1t with an ultimatum to be
presented ia behalf of Virginia as the
condition upon which shefwiII consent to
remain in the Union. That nltimatum may
be offered by Ballard Preston, or some
other of his class, who has hitherto been
reported as among those opposed to ex-
treme measures. All the information
agrees in representing that decided re-
action has occurred, and the Union senti-
ment is rapidly losing ground in parts of
the State which have hitherto been OPP.
posed to the revolutionary movement Ia
any form.
The idea of a Border State Confederacy
is noto entirely abandoned, and if Virginia
should move at all, finally, it will be for
an alliance with the Montgomery Govern
ment. The managers intend TO present
the distinct issue as between union with
the North or South, in order to coerce her
into the latter.

The U. s. Consul at suriuam, South
America, is having difficulty with the Gov
eminent there. 1t seems that an afray
took place among the crew on board an
American vessel lying in that port, by
which one of them got hurt with knife.
Our Consul arranged the affair, and con-
cluded to send one of the men to the Uni
ted States for trial He had him impris-
oned until the vessel was ready for sea;
but when he wished to place him GU board
of her, the authorities refused to give him
up, claiming the exclusive right to try him
in their courts. The vessel was detained
two days and finally went off without him.
The Consul has sent off to st. Thomas for
man-of-war, and has forwarded dispatch
es to Washington regarding the affair.

THE French Emperor is removing tile
restrictions ON the freedom of debate in
the Assembly at Paris. We read in let
ter from that city that there is but one

bate which has just closed in the Senate

bate of unmitiEated violence has been car
ried on for four days 10 the Corps LegislA-
tit, by the clerical and legitimist party
against the religions policy of the Govern

A Terrible Case of Poisoning the
Result OF CareIessness.

q
Result OF Carelessness.
We find in the Philadelphia papers, nm
account Of the death, by arsenic, of Mr..
and Mrs. Mickey, in that city. The woman
had mistaken for saleratus paper of ar.
senic left behind by a family who had Just
moved from the upper. part of the house,
and had used it in making batch of
bread.
The deceased couple were seventy years
of age. The probability is that timely as.
sistauce woLld have saved both their lives.
When Mickey was seized by the horrible
pangs Of the arsenic corroding the mucous
membrane of the stomach, his wife sent,
not for u doctor, but for Catholic priest,
and dispatched another messehger.a at the
same time to the former occupants of tho
! house to know l'swbnt was ia the paper
| they left behind them.n The result WINS,
that when the priest came he saw that the
man had been poisoned, aud soon tue wife
herself was in us bad strait Medical
aid came too late. The unfortunate con-
pie writhed in burning thirst beyond the
power of alienation, and aggravated by
triRhtful retching that soon exhausted ma
ture, The other occupants of the house,
named McVeY, were a daughter and SON
/ ih-lhW OF the Old couple. Having pRrtn-
ken sP0riugly of the arseniated bread,
the poison worked less deeisively, and
their lives were saved. If any person
meditating suicide by poison, could have
witnessed the terrible suGIerings of these
victims, it is likely that the intention
would have been toregone. The thought
lessness of using the contents of the pa
per supposed to be saleralus, is something
that ought not frequently to happen
Some time ago we chronicled case in
which child scooped up from under a
window some arsenic used in manufaCtur-
ing purposes the child ate it, aud died.
Its slightly swedish taste is by no means
dtsPleastng to the palate. The Coroner
held an inquest in the Mickey case, with
the verdict of accidental poisoning.

A Strange but Tue story.

A circumstance which fully illustrates the
saying that "truth is stranger than felton,
recently came before Judge Sbarwood in the
District Court. Had it not been for the legal
question involved in the events to which we
refer, they would have never, probably, had
any publicity given them. Some time since,
there Yves a couple residing in this city, who
were surrounded with many blessings Tue
husband possessed comfortable share of
worldly goods, his wife and himself we're fondly
attached 10 each other, and together they doated
upon an only child. The first blow to their
happiness was in the loss of their little one who
sicksned and died, leaving its parents heart
broken. The death of the child fell like a
shadow upon the household; the parents be-
came unhsppy, moodiness came in the train Of
their melancholy, and absolute aversion for the
society of each other followed. The soured
and discontented pair finally determined upon
q separation, and divorce was procured.
After a time both married again, and they
became utter strangers to each other, go far as
social intercourse was concerned. 1t so hap
pened that il became necessary to remove the
1emsins of The dead child from the grave where
it had been inferred, and the father was noto
fad of the fact. A handsome lot was procured
bJ tt latter in one of the cemeteries north Of
the city, and day vas fixed for the reiuter-
ment. The father potifed the former wife, and
the mother Of the child. of the ircumstance,
and informed her by note that II she thought
proper she could attend che burial Of the re-
mains The mother accepted the invitation,
and with her second husband repaired TO the
cemetery. The father, with his second wife,
was already there. The little cofiu vas placed
ntsr the open grave, and the parents Of is oc-
cupant advanced to 1t while the secOnd wifs
and husband stood in the back ground. The
couple who had been so long estrauged, and
who bad again met so strangely over their
dead hopes, gazed earnestly at each other; ths
solempity of the hour revived their old ten der
ness, and falling into each others arm, both
burst into tears. The reinterment took place
and the parties returned to their proper homes.
With the consent Of all who were interested,
the father of the dead child visited, on terms
of friendship, his former wife, aud they were
in the habit of riding out together.
Not long after this singular reconciliation,
the father of the child took sick aud died.
Before his death he placed in the hands of a
friend two city bonds of 81 900 each, to be
haLded oEsr to his first wife in the event of his
death. In his will he appointed as his exscd
tors the friend who was the custodian of the
bonds and his first and second wives. Tue
friend, in his capacity of trustee, was uncer
tain as to the legality of the gift. uuder the
circumstances, and he made application to the
court for a decision in the msttsr so as TO Sc
cure biDssIf from loss. The legal heirs Of the
deceased Cffersd no opposition to the ante NOR
TEN btquesi, and the Court decided in favor oI
its legality. y.-PhiLGdeLPhi Bulletin.

Cotton, Coffee and sugar In Liberia.

We have recently had an interview with
Mr.. Anderson, a cOlored planter from Libe
ria, who is in this city for the purpose of
selling his cotton, sugar and coffee. The
samples of Liberiau cotton which he ex-
bibits compare favorably with the best quail
tiles of the Southern article, and he has re-
ceived favorable offers for the purchase of all
the stock procurable in Liberia. The coffee
is also of an excellent quality; the bean
large; the crop raised at low price, and the
yield very abundant. The best index of the
market value of this coffee is the price oo-
tained for it, which is twenty-five cents per
pound by the quantity.
Mr.. Anderson has also about one hundred
acres of sugar cane under cultivation, and
has brought with him some twenty-five
thousand pounds, the qualities of which
range from good to prime, selling for eight
to eight and a-half cents per pound. The
experiments in the manufacture of sirups
and molasses have been equally satisfactory.
Mr.. Anderson, who is pure -blooded ne
gro, was formerly slave in Delaware, and
emigrated to Liberia some years since. He
has had remarkable success in his agricul-
tuIal enterprises, and makes strong repre-
sentations of the capacity of Liberia for the
culture of those staples which formerly came
from the South. He states that the climate
and soil are admirably adapted to the growth
of coffee, cotton and sugar, that labor is
cheap, and the resources of the country abund
ant. With the small degree of encourage
ment that the colony has already received,
it has rapidly increased in wealth and i'm
portance, and it is believed that free recog.
nition of its advantages would produce re-
muneratiYe returns.-Ne0 York Eveniag

A Fable for the Young.

Ernest had accompanied his father into
the vineyards, which were rich with prom
ises for the coming autumn. There he found
a honey bee struggling in the web of a
large garden spider, which had already
opened its fangs to seize upon its prey but
Ernest set the bee at liberty, and destroyed
the glistening snare.
The father observing what had passed,
inquired Of his son how he could so lightly
esteem the skill and ingenuity of the little
artist as to annihilate its work in mo-
ment.
IDidst thou not see with what beauty and
order those slender threads were inter-
woven? How couldst thou, then, be at the
same moment so pitiful, and yet so hard
hearted" {"
The boy excused himself saying:
"Is there no evil in the spiders art for
it only tends to destruction, whereas the
bee gathers honey and wax within its cell;
so gave freedom to the bee, and destroyed
the spiders web"
The father was pleased at this decision
of a simple child, who saw no beauty in
ingenuity when its aim was destruction.
"But," continued the father, "perhaps
you have been unjust toward the spider.

"Truly," replied his father, at troubles

can impart beauty or goodness even to the

Mr.. Howard Paul, who is the London
correspondent Of the New York Illustrated
NeScs, relates, in a recent letter, the follow
ing aneedots
Mr.. Lewis, who has been connected with
DTury Lane for many years, told me char
acteristc anecdote of Edmund Keau, which
has never appeared in print, and which you
shall have. II seems that the great tragedian
and Charles Incledon, the popular singer,
were one day walking in Bond-street when
they were met by Lord Essex, who bowed
distsntly to Kean, albeit they were on terms
of intimate friendship. The next day
Kean found a note at the theater from my
lord, desiring him to call at his house. He
went, and, contrary to the usual custom, was
ushered into the library, where Lord Essex
received him. The usual formalities over,
the noble said to the tragedian: "My dear
Keap, you will pardon me. You know how
greatly l admire your genius, but ! was
Startled yesterday on seeing you on promen-
ade, arm in arm, with that singing man.
Incledon." "My lordW said Kean, with
flashing eye. "Pray don't excite yourself
now don't, my dear KCan," pursued my lord;
"but the respect may say reverence-l
bear for your wonderful genius prompts me
Kean, rising himself up and casting with.
sring glance at his noble patron, twelve
yesrs ago my family were in want Of bread;
Charles Incledon, my friend, supplied the
means to procure it, and when Edmund Kean
forgets his friends may God forget himF'
And from that hour the two men never ex-
changed courtesies. When one remembers
the magnificent voice and impsssioned power
of the eye of the great Edmund, this little
episode must long have lived in the memory
of the lordly Essex. Kean, by the way, after
