SCENE IN A RAILWAY CAR.-An Incl
dent occurred, q few days ago, on board
of one of our outward bound trains of
cars which is worth printing. Just as
the train was about to m6SS from the
depot, an elderly gentleman, OF high re-
spectability and character entered one
of the cars and upon looking around for
a seat, saw one with a lady in it, and
politely inquired if the vacant seat was
engaged. She replied snappishly that
she had no more room than she wanted,
WhereupOn he, being quiet; modest
gentleman, retired, and some one offered
him a seat. The selfshness of the lady
was noticed by many Of the passengers
and excited much Indignation, Shortly
after a gentleman who had been OCcu-
plying q seat in the back part Of the car
approached the lady who was occupying
that part Of the seat nearest the passage
way. He then, very quietly, took his
'-.'As a.llav and passing &c over the lady,
placed 1t in the corner, near the window.
lie next very deliberately raised one
loot above her crinoline, and out II
down beyond her, near the window and
then dragged the other after him and
took his seat amid the laughter aud APP
plausc Of the passengers, who were
watching the operation In a short
time the seat in front Of them was va
Gated, and this interesting lady, who
was by this time the observed of all the
passengers, moved and occupied it
alone, leaving our friend of the umbrel-
la to himself. In few moments more
a large heavy man, weighing some two
hundred and fifty, and who seemed dis
posed to teach the lady a second lesson
planted himself by her side. By this
time the passengers were convulsed with
laughter at the expense Of our heroine
who was obliged to submit to the con-
traction, not only Of her crinoline but
Of her whole person for the remainder
Of her journey. Possibly she learned
that politeness and courtesy are expect
ed of iaites as well as gentlemen Bosto,,

Attracted by her generous soil. her

New England need no longer send her

But, sir, there Is a holier and strong
or tie between New England and free
Maryland than mere identity of lnstitu-
tions or congeniality OF sentiment. There
is the sacred and affecting tie of historic
blood

The blood OF brave New EpglAnd's dead,

The Mayor OF Savannah having
sent an agent to New York to buy sup
plies, the merchants of that city are
talh1ng about making fee gift of sup
plies to the POOR Of Savannah-a gener-
Gus and magnanimoGs thing to do.
The Tribune, In describing the city
of Savannah, informs its readers that
lat every other corner there Is public
square, usually of circular or oral shape 7"
This is similar to the historical descript-

tain "a number of houses and 10000 in

The New York News printed the

An article in the Richmond Senti-
mel, the recognized organ of Davis, which
is supposed to be from his pen, makes it
clear that the last hope Of the rebel lead
ers is foreign Intervention, and Davis
proposes to purchase that by the aboli-
ton of slavery. Secretary Seward has
sent copies of this article abroad as evil
dence of the exhaustion of the rebels.
No better evidence could be required.

at Camp Gilmore. 1t says
upon the arrival of the Vermont
agent at camp he at once stated that he

citizens as one of the men who were
hanging about the town.for several days
before the raid. After very superficial
examination he came to the conclusion
that none of the men confined had
aught to do with it, although he admit

KsssTS9 EEa4mt Sir William
Napier was one day taking a long Conn
try walk near Fgeshford, when he met q
little girl about five years Old, sObbing
over broken bowl She had dropped
and broken it in bringing it back from
the field to which she had taken her
fathers dinner in it, and she said she
would be beaten on her return for hav-
ing broken it; then with a sudden
CLEAN of hope, she innocently looked
into his face and said, But We can
mend it, can't ye?' Sir william ex-
planned that he could not mend the
bowl; but the trouble ne could mend,
by the gift of sixpenCe to buy another.
However, on opening his purse, 1t was
empty Of silver and he had to make
amends by promising to meet his little
friend in the same spot at the same hour
next day, and to bring the sixpence
with him, bidding her meanwhile, to
tell her mother she had seen a gentle
man who would bring her the money
for the bowl next day. The child, en-
tirely trusting him, went on her way
comforted On his return home he
found an invitation awaiting him to
dine In Bath the following evening, to
meet some one whom he especially
wished to see. He hesitated for some
little time, trying to calculate the posi-
bility OF giving the meeting to his lit
tie friend of the broken bowl, and OF
still being in time for the dinner party
In Bath; but, finding that this could
not be, he wrote to decline accepting
the invitation, on the plea of a "pre-en-
gagement," saying to one of his family
as he did so, 81 cannot disappoint her,
she trusted me so implicitly"
