a Scene.

We padded up on Locust street, then
splashed along on Main, and wadedi down
on Tenth street, all through the mud and
rain. The roads they were awful, ana IN
outrageous plight, especially at the corner
OF Fourteenth and White. Twas there we
saw lady Of ponly form and broad in
company with little gent; both wished to
cross tie road. He went ahead and tried
it, while she looked on from shore He
sank down to the bottom some half lee
deep. or more Twas plain it was not pos
sible fer . lady Of her weight, to cross with
dry pediments, or that slough to nasigate.
They stood some time in confslb, discussing
what to d.. She couldn't get over it, nor
90 round it, and never would 90 through.
inperatively, however, she must be on
t'other side; there was no way to fix it,
than somehow to get a ride They gazed
up and down the street, and waited for a
dray, but never a cart or omnibus were seen
that blessed day. They then agsiin con
suited, in animated talk, but the upshot Of
the matter was, that, she couldn't, wouldn't
walk.
They gazed again up and down the street
to see il the coast was clear; to their utmost
satisfaction ..1l soul was near; then
straightway on the curb stone, stepped this
woman dressed in black, when stopping
down before her, he took her on bis back.
Remember he was small man, and she
somewhat weighty-some over hundred
and seventy-fye, many would say eighty.
Truly it wa, amusing to see the comic sight
Of this big and portly woman, and the liz
tie waddng wight. He halted and he
hobbled, beneath his awkward load, while
her feet dangled down behind him, trail
ing in the road He got into the deepest
place, in the middle Of the street, when
The load proved to much fol him, he trip
ped with both his feet. With monstrous
squelch and splatter they both came tumb-
ling down; the mud completely hid the
man and plastered Ger her gown. A more
usel up community we ne'er before did see,
than this diluyian couple then appeared to
be. We laughed until nearly bursting at
this Laundering pair-lauglled at her stout
understandings kicking in the air,-then

What must be Expactsd on Both
Sides.


The New York Herald sums up clearly
what must be The result of this WA Is the
Southern States, and also, what must be
expected, as well as what should be, by the
North;
Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, Tenres-
see and Missouri contain about 100000
slaves, worth, in round numbers, 5000, 0eo,
900. This amount of property will be
blottcd out by the first battle, and By just
50 much will the people Of these States be
rendered unable to pay their debts to the
North. BY so much as the labor Of these
slaves created every year will the annual
product of these States be impaired by the
sudden establishment upon our soil Of u
100000 negro paupers, unaccustomed TO
voluntary toll. and united to exercise the
responsibilities Of independent existence.
All the points duly considered--the ac-
tual destruction Of SLAVE property, the loss
Of income resulting from the disappearance
OF slave labor, the existence Of an enormous
body Of negro paupefs, and the destruction
Of the credit of States which have $780,
100000 OF bonds in circulat.on-it must
be admitted that the probable consequen-
ces of . war between the Moth and the
border States are, in commercial poiht Of
view, more gave than anything that can
grow out oitbe contest between the Uni
ted States and Mr.. jeff Davis Gulf rebels.
At the same time it cannot be denied
that the Gulf rebels are pursuing course
which is calculated to interfere very serious
ly with American commerce. 1t IS idl to
doubt that Mr.. Davis cal obtain men both
at the South aad at the North to man pr
ratical expeditions under the guise Of letters
Of marque. The Matagorda, well armed
steamer, has already sailed from Texas to
intercept the California treasure Ships
The Star OF the West has been taken into
New Orleans prize to the South. 9th
er ships and steamers are being fitted out
as privateers at other Southern ports. OF
course these privateers viii, in due course
Of time, be seizel by our cruisers, and their
officers and crews hanged at the yard arm.
But, IN the meantime, many peaceful
merchant ships will probably have been seiz-
ed 10y them, and their cargoes sold at
some West Indian or South American
port. The Administration has proclaimed
blockade OF the Southern ports. But no
steps have vet been taken to render the
blockade etfectual at Galveston, New Or
leans, Motile, Apaiachicola. Savannah or
Charleston. While we wife privateers are
doubtless putting to sea from all these
ports Very grave approximations are en-
teItained by our merchant, that the admin
iStration is not alive to the importance Of
the interests involved, and is not pursuing
a sufficiently vigorous policy to crush out
piracy at once and forever.

WdSAiitgtOu, u pm ~.
Information received here shows that
100000 men will be in arms in the
North before thefrst Of June. Each State
will organize large reserve. in addition to
the contingents under the Presidents requi-
stion fseventy-fiye thousand men. I'm

military posts along the Potomac and
Chesapeake Bay. Twenty thousand will be
concentrated 1T st. Louis and Cairo, and
the rest, with most Of the regular army,
will be used for Operations in Texas, Pen
sacola Bay and Charleston.
Formal orders to blockade the mouth of
the Mississippi and Southern ports are not
vet issued, but will he as soon as the steam
fYieates now fitting out are ready for sea.
The Government is about notifying the

CoLoRED EMIcRANTs.- An old geutle-
men, near three-score and ten, named Ross,
landed this week at Potos direct from Mis-
sour, with his entire estate AID household,
consisting of himself and 5 negroes, most
" able, adult hands. He designs to settle
them on lands somewhere in this county.
His wife died some five years ago, and he
has no children. His highest hopes are,
TO get these negroes comfortably situated
on good property, give them Liberty and
await Gods pleasure in providing for him
better home. His reasons for not re-
naming in Missouri ana bequeathing free
dom to his negroes, are, that his will might
be destroyed or the authorities might,
probably would prove him insane, and
thereby ordain the negroes to bondage,
and defeat lis aim Of life. Sensible old
man, and may God let him live III four
score as an example for others
Err Since writing The above, we learn
that he was offered $4,000 for the lot,
the day he left Missouri.

LINT AND BAEDAGEs-Tho patriotic
women who go to work in the preparation
Of lint and bandages may perhaps find a
few hints Of service in the following:
Bandages may be made from two to
four inshes wide, in strips five yards long,
seiseges and bemmed edges removed. and
seams strong hut light as possible. These
should be tightly rolled, and each roll
tightly secured. Linen or cotton may be
used, but the cloth should he sufficiently
strong for serviceabe use.
Lint is made by scraping old linen or
cotton into light flock. Loose threads
should be removed. Cut cloth in strips
three inches wide, and use moderately
sharp knife in scraping. Old linen cloth
makes the best lint. Make up in halt
pound packages and mark "cotton' and
'.lincn' separately.
Send ali such packages well wrapped
(and marked outside,) to Qaartermaster
