THE LATE POLITICAL DRMoNsTRArIoN IN
TRENTON, n. J,-Referring to the late assault
OF some OF the McClellanites on a railroad
train passing through that city, the Trenton
Gazette, OF November, says:
The funeral of Mr.. Stephen Tice, who was
brutally murdered on Friday night last, will
take place tomorrow. The funeral services
will be held at the First Baptist Church, at
halfpast o'clock We learned Yesterday
afternoon that Mrs. Tice was thought to be
rather better, but she still remains In q danger
Gus condition The horror of seeing her hus-
band trampled to death by an infuriatsd and
savage mob was of itself enough to destroy her
fral hold on life, but the savages, not satish fed
with the murder of her husband, struck the
wife, and while one or two held and choked
her, another seized a tea. kettle from the stove,
and poured the water upon Mrs. Tice's head.
fortunately, the water had been placed upon
the stove but short lime before; but this does
not diminish the atrocity Of the crime, in a
moral point of view; the murderers sup
posed the water to be boiling; and de-
liberately attempted to scald Mrs. Tice 20
death. Can any punishment be too severe for
such wretches! 1t is alike the duty and the
interest Of every man to use his every ehort to
bring the murderers to justice. There will be
a blot upon the fair fame Of our city until this
murder, and the still more attrocous attempt
at murder, are atoned for by the exemplary
punishment of the guilty parties, " hoev yer they
may be. We trust that the citizens OF Trenton,
without distinction OF party, sect or creed,
will attest their respect for Mr.. Tice and the
detestation OF the crime by which he lost his
life, by attending the funeral tomorrow,
from the First Baptist Church

SpiCy-.What a Boston Girl

The editress of the Boston Olive Branch
having received a communication from Nash
vile, Tenn, enquiring whether some female
printers could be obtained there, to 60 to
Nashville, replies as follows:
Every girl in Boston who is old enough to
work in printing office, or any other office,
has lover whom she would be just as like
ly to trade off for a Tennessee article as she
would to swap him off for grizzly bear
The idea ola Boston girl, who goes to
operas, patronizes Jullisn's concerts, waltz
es once a week, eats ice cream, rides in the
omnibus, wears satin slippers, and some
times kisses the editor, going to Tennessee,
except she goes as tho wife of one Of your
first citizens. editors excepted, is truly
ridiculous. Would not o girl in nice silk
dress, lace pantaletts, and shiny gaiter boots

with posters offering rewards for runaway

Beauty Is Public Property.

ihe iohoWing very sultaDle ADVICE Is from
the Autocrat Of the Breakfast Table:
There some very pretty, but, unhappily,
very i'll bred women, who don't understand
the law Of the road with regard to hand
some faces. Nature and custom would, no
doubt, agree in conceding to all males the
right to at least two distinct looks at a very
comely female countenance, without any in
fraction Of the rules of courtesy or the senti-
ment of respect. The first look is necessary
to define the person Of the individual one
meets, SO as to avoid it in passing. Any
unusual attraction detected in first glance,
is sufficient apology for second-not q
prolonged, impertinent stare, but an appre.
ciating homage Of the eyes, such as a stran-
ger may inoffensiyely yield to passing i'm
age. 1t is astonishing how morbidly sensi-
tive some vulgar beauties are to the slight
est demonstrations Of this kind. When q
lady walks the streets, she leaves her virtu.
GUS indigestion countenance at home; she
knows well enough that the street is a picture
gallery, where pretty faces, framed in pretty
bonnets, are meant to be seen, and every.
body has q right to see thom." '''' %

A Sin ort Sermon Upon q Rscss,
T0wf
lFo,a Hsrpers we.klrl

Whether political differences should sf.
feet social intercourse Is an old ouestion
which is asked and pondered much In these
days. But that they always have done CO.
is not question. The history Of the old
Fcderslists and Democrats sufises to an
swer 1t in this country.
But however foolish and unnecessary IN
may seem for free-trader to,refuse to dine
with protectionist, or the friend of q bank
to decline to dance at the ball of it's snemy,
we cannot forget that at the present time
civil war RACES, and the proper amenities Of
peace are not TO be expected. President
Washington was 9 kFederalst and Jsfersun
democrat; and it would have been very
foolish for his Excellency upon that around
to decline to invite Jefferson 10 bis house.--
But would General Washington have juyi
ted Benedict Arnold to bis; table, or any
man whom he knew to sympathize yith
Arnold or indirectly to help hiInp -.
The case is not different now. Here. Er
instance, is mau5who gives his fortune and
MS wisdom to the country, and whose sons
are Killed by traitors in battle. Aud next
door to him lives man who virtually.ex,
cuses the treason, and thwarts the efforts of
the Government to subdue the traitors
Can the FIRST man see in the second anything
else than an accessory to the murder OF his
children? Can the second man Justly COM
plain OF poltical intolerance aud tauaticisra
upon the part Of the FIRST? Is not the avoid
ance Of the second by the first simple in
stinct? he need not assault him, he pael
not insult bin; but can he possibly hob
mob With him upon the ground that they
honestly dissent and must agree to diftsrf.
Mr.. Webster and Mr.. Hayne might have
retired from the Capitol to dine together
after the one bad utterly demolished ths
other in political debate? IF Mr.. Hayns
bad left the Senate Chamber, raised tho,
flag Of revolt, and shot Mr.. Webster's sou
to the heart is it great pity that Mr.. Web
ster should have carried political differences
SO far as to be unwilling to request the hon
or Of Mr.. Haynes company to supper In
civil war men must be judged and treated
according to the coors they show. If they
choose the enemy's color they must expect,
and they ought to receive, the treatment OK
an enemy. lfyou would shake hands with
judah Benjamin you will not recoi from
judah Benz .min's abettors. But il YOU
think that Jefferson Davis is Justly respon.
sible fol the bloo1 that desolates the land,
how can you affect Indifference toward thQss
who virtually befrend him?
Clearly, when political differences havs
ended in civil war, no earnest, devoted mar,
upon one side or the other, will wish to ss.
sociate familiarly either with those who ara
50 shallow as not to feel the terrible reality
of the condition, or those whose ympathiss
belong to the party which he opposes with
arms.

. Mind and Body.

The influence which the mind has in cans
ing, aggravatiDg, and protracting disease, is
TOO constantly lost sight of,tby all classes OF
physicians. Every body recommends ex-
crclso A. means Of preserving and regain.
ing health. But to ride certain length of
time, or to walk specified distance "for
the health" merely for the sake of the
health, is almost useless, and is peps nce
but n there 10 the accompaniment of an
agreeable associate or an exhilaratinp mo.
tive, one which lifts up the mind and absorbs
it for the time being. so as to make il wholly
forgetful of the bodily condition, as the
radical object Of the exercise, this is health.
giving its elects are always magical, on
mind and body and blood.
Dwelling on trouble remorse for lost op-
portunities the hugging Of sharp-pointed
memories; noping over the sights Of friends;
feeding over exaggerations of the hardness
Of our lot, and grieving vainly for uprequit.
ed love, all these are known, the world over,
as being capable Of bringing on slow and
painful and fatal diseases. But it is not 50
well understood that great mental emotion
sometimes causes maladies which prove
fatal in few days; such maladies as are
induced BY great physical exposures. 1t
was recently announced that distinguished
French advocate was 80 excited and exhaus-
ted by one Of his professional efforts, as to
superinduce an attack of pneumonia, lung
fever or inflammation of the lungs Of
which he died 10 few days. Three young
ladies were riding in a carriage in St. Louis;
the horses ran away two of the riders
escaped from the vehicle, while the third
sat still, as composedly as if nothing unusu-
al had taken place all we're astonished at
her presence of mind" After she reach
ed her home, she Informed her friends that
she remained still because the shock, the
feeling Of horror was such, that she was,
per force, as immovable as marble the re-
action was such as to cause an inflammation
OF the bowels, which nothing could remove,
and of which she died in few days. These
facts, with thousands of others like them,
prove beyond all cavil, that the mind may
be cause of disease and the inference is
clear, that the state of the mind should be
watched. We should guard against cherish
ing depressing feelings; and with as much
care, should habituate ourselves to self-con-
trel; to the, habit of looking at every thing
of q stirring or narrowing character with a
calm courage we should strive at all times
for that valuable characteristic, presence

are every day in great need of it it is in
many cases, a literal ''life-preserver." p
