The following highly romantic and trag-
ic story Is from the Neto orleans Times:
"Nearly year ago one of the first mer-
chants In the city met and loved a woman
of English birth, whom he believed to DE
widow.
"His advances were favorably received,
and after many happy hours passed in
pleasant converse the gentleman at length
declared his passion. To his surprise and
chagrin the lady, with many tears, inform
cd him t lat her husband was not dead, A
long ory of unkindness, neglect, maltreat-
ment, and separate maintenance was re-
lated The fair one, with the utmost frank
ness, wentlnto all the details OF her wretch
ell existence, and ended by hoping adj
vOrce suit then pending, would terminate
In her favor. The gentleman, encouraged
by the confidence, and eager Tor the possess
sion of such treasure, insisted on her at
once departing for England, and bountiiul-
ly supplied the lubricating material for the
rusty machinery of the court. The journey
was made, and in the course OF few
WEEKS the bagatelle of $4,000 expended.
"Not many moons elapsed ere the lover
was favored with most tender eplstle,
conveying, in the postscript, intelligence OF
another draft for $4,000, which he would,
of course, pay on presentation. The busi-
ness of the law proved exceedingly expens-
i've. Two more drafts for $4,000 each were
forwarded to this country, and promptly
paid. The gentleman, becoming alarmed
at the enormous drain on his purse, ven-
tured to demonstrate, and begged the lady,
ifpossible, TO conduct the business with
more economy,
''The communication in reply, dated at
Paris, quietly informed him That the suit
had been decided against her, that she was
tied forever to the object of her detestation,
and that although she could never forget
the disinterested friendship of the kindest
of men, they must never again meet on
earth.
"'rhe unhappy gentleman. maddened at
his folly, and crippled in business by the
immense outlay of money, ended his eX-
istence by his own hand. Long after this
tragedy the real creator OF it presumes
again to address the man she so wronged." :"
Such heartless and unprincipled wo-
man as the heroine of the above romantic
and tragic story, is occasionally met with
In real life; but not often. We can recall
but one instance of the kind that has oc-
CURED within our personal knowledge;
and that did not assume the dimensions,
that the New Orleans case did
but it progressed somewhat in the same
direction. We may some day be called on
TO write that story and print it: we prefer
not to do it, however.

Cnr Thieves Arrested.


For some two or three months past,
freight cars standing on the G. o. road
near the U. S. Arsenal grounds, have been
broken Into at different times, and rifled Of
part of their contents. On one of these
depredations, two barrels of flour were
taken; on another, a box containinga a gross
of bottles of sewing machine oil, manu-
factured at Maysville, Ky- and recently q
car was broken into, barrel of high wine:
tapped, and several jugs filled with the
liquor and carried off.
1t was observed that lately some of the
soldiers at the Arsenal appeared to have an
abundant supply ofthe ardent. The source
whence it came, became a subject of in
quiry. Officer Naddy undertook an inves-
tigation, and soon ascertained that the res
idence of Mrs. Farrell, near the Arsenal
was the place to which the soldiers resort
ed for the stimulant. There, in room
were found behind screen, several jugs
of highwines, the flour barrel, and the box
of sewing machine oil purloned from the
freight cars. f4l..,. 81
1t came out that the stolen articles were
deposited there by Jackson Pool, d. w
Davis and John Colver. Pool deserted
night before last and has not been heard Of
since. Officer Naddy yesterday arrested
the other two, Davis and Colver, and locked
them up for examination.

Opera House.

Thepart of Hamlet, difficult as it is, was
well rendered by Mr.. j. w. Albaugh last
night. His gestures, attitudes and express
sion in some of the most striking passages,
gave them a thrilling and powerful effect
Mr.. Hamilton as the Ghost comported him
self with due solemnity, and his hollow
tones fell upon the silent audience like
voices from another world. Queen Ger
trude and Ophelia had very good imperson-
ations by Miss Mitchell and Miss Gordon
The great tragedy of Hamlet is seldom
better presented as whole than it was last
night.
The Matinee at the Opera House COM
mences at two o'clock this afternoon. The
admission to all parts of the house is &c
cents. This, together with the fact that the
popular play of the Octoroon will be pre-
sented with powerful cast, should insure
a crowded assembly of ladies and Juveniles
who cannot well, if at all, visit the, Opera
House at night. The Manager gives this
Matinee for their special benefit, and they
should by all means avail themselves of this
opportunity to enjoy a good dramatic en-
tertainment.
The Opera House will doubtless be well
filled tonight on the occasion of the COM
plimentary benefit to Mr.. Theodore Ham
ilton. Heis gentleman of rare abilities
and attachments as an actor. His appear
ance on the stage is always hailed with
pleasure by all who have once seen him
tread the boards.
Tonight Mr.. Hamilton appears as Mac
duff in Shakspeare's famous tragedy Of
Macbeth. He will be assisted by Mr.. AL
baugh as Macbeth, and Miss Mitchell as
Lady Macbeth. The other characters in
the play will be also well represented.
Let the Opera House be filled tonight as
tribute to genius and the dramatic art.

From the New York WorId.l
Butler and IBrOWnlOw OuidOnS

Mr.. Shellabarger, one of the Radical
members of Congress from Ohio, in re-
cent speech at Xenia, Ohio, out-heroded
all his Radical associates, from Butler
down, in his threats upon the President.
He did not stop to read a bill of Indictment
against the Executive of the nation, but
threatened the use of the axe In the follow
ing style:
sand let it be understood 'by all whom
it may concern that Tuesdays elections
meant that whilst this nation has mantle
for fault of Inauguration day, and Lethe
for him who merely outrages all the pro-
prieties OF official station and of private
life, yet for him who presumes to touch the
sacred life of the Government this nation
has an are. And let me in all calmness and
charity say to the President, that Tuesdays
elections signify that should one step be
taken by him to put into execution that
threat that the Congress is to beignored, then
speedily, relentIesSly, on his official head that
ace toiH fall. And then bad President
will be remembered as eminent only as a
national dishonor."
The Radicals started with the cry of i'm
peachment first, but now it is the axe. The
next cry will be the guillotine. Like the
Jacobns in the French Revelation, they are
gradually pushing on their crusade, and,
unless they are checked in their mad career,
the axe, the guill0tine, and all the horrors
of those DAYS will be enacted here.

Shall Our Next state Nominating
Convention be Held ON the
Eighth of january, 1861?
We observe that few of our Democratic
contemporaries are asking that our next
State Convention be called for the Sth oi
January, 1867, to nominate ticket to be
voted for nearlya year from this time
They say it is the best season Of the year
as the delegates may then see the Legisla-
ture and the Supreme Court-both in ses-
sion; and they urge the Importance OF al
early Convention, in order that the Radi-
Gals may be "smoked out" and their "lieS
exposed"l These are about all the reasons
we have seen presented, In favor OF holding
the Convention on the Eighth OF January
We apprehend that very few of our peo-
pie throughout the State care enough
about either the Legislature or the Su-
preme Court--as at present constituted-to
even look In upon them, had they the OPP
portunity every day; and our editorial
friends, who are so anxious to see these IN
sTIrUTIoNs in working order, can run to
Columbus at almost any time, for that pur-
pose, as they are generally blessed with
Railroad passesl We shall take great
pleasure in showing them arOund;" and
we assure them, that they can see the "ele-
phant" to far better advantage at any other
time than when there is Convention here
As to "smokiDg out the Radicals" and
"exposing their lies" we submit whether
this work may not be assuccessfully prose-
cuted before State candidates are nominate
ed as afterwards. Our last State Conven-
tion was held on the Gath Of May, 1866, and
It was nearly or quite three months from
that time when the campaign was formally
and actively opened. If our nominations
should be made on the Eighth of January,
the campaign of 1867 would not probably
be opened before the usual time, in the
sense In which few of our editorial friends
talk about 'opening up"
On the Eighth Of January, Congress will
scarce have begun the outrages it will per-
petrate at its next session; and the Ohio
Legislature will just have assembled
Would it not be best to hold our State
Convention AFTER the death Of the pres
ent Congress and the adjournment of
the State Legislature? We THINK 1T
WOULD. Meanwhile, the Democratic prss
and the Democratic orators may occupy
the ground and prosecute the work as ei-
fectively and successfully as they could II
our candidates were in the field; and, per-
haps, more effectively and successfully-at
anyrate, until the Jacobin programme shall
have been fully and completely expanded
and given to the country.

American Hou,e, Newark.

The American House at Newark, Ohio,
now kept by Messrs. Gardner & Denman,
is one of the best hotels in Central Ohio.
Everything which can be procured in the
way of vegetables in that prolific region,
appears on their tables, together with all

best of style. The gentlemanly clerk, Mr..
G. w. Johnson, is on hand all the time to
look after, and take care that the guests OF

InsIncerity Of Radical Professions

CHARLIE GRosvENoR, of Athens, organ
lied conspiracy at the last Radical State
Convention to defeat the nomination of
WILLIAM HENRY SMITH, for Secretary of
State, under the pretense that it would be
necessary to give that Office to military
man. The Radicals, however, demonstrat-
ed their love for the soldier, by defeating
the military candidate and renominat-
ing Mr.. SMITH-GRosvENoR, meanwhile,
swearing and protesting! The election
is over, and SMITH has larger
majority than any other candidate
that was running for State
Office, not even excepting Capt. BARRERE,
who can show honorable scars received in
the service of his country. SMITH ran
ahead of the Radical candidate for Con-
gress in every District in the State-beat-
ing even the Radical military candidate in
the ID District, in the Sd, in the 9th, in the
9th, in the 18th, and In the 10Th. SMITHS
competitor, it will be remembered, was the
brave aud gallant Gen. LEFEvER. The
mere statement of these facts, ia a sufficient
illustration of the insincerity of the Radi-
cal professions of love for the soldier!
SMITH is an excellent officer, and deserved
to run ahead of SCHENCK, GARFIELD, &
Co.; but that don't impair the force Of the
illustration.

ReparIe of Dante,

This charming poet was very poor and
an exile at Verona, on small pension from
Prince Scaliger. In short, he could scarce
ly subsist. At the same court was buff
foon who lived magnificently. "How hap
pens it." said the latter to Dante, one day,
that with all your genius you remain so
poor, whilst such blockhead and fool as |
am abound in all things?" IL should be
rich too" said the indignant poet, chad
your lucktO find a prince with a character
so like my own"

A .IudicinI Fall.

Judge Swayne, of the United States Dis
trict Court for the Southern District of
Ohio, is, as everybody who is acquainted
with him well knows, model of ju-
dicial dignity. lie is a tall, well made
man, rather portly, carries himself erect,
and is a model OF politeness. The other
day the Judge, going East got on the Cen
trail Ohio railroad passenger train at Co
lumbus, and quietly seated himself near the
rear end of the ladies' car. Some little
time after the train got in motion, the
Judge concluded to change seats, and for
this purpose advanced along the aisle In the
middle of the car toward the front end,
Near the center of the car sat pert, fash
ionably dressed young lady, whose over
grown crinoline swung out OF the seat into
the aisle, rendering a partial blockade of the
passage. The Judge came along, and fail
ing to notice the obstruction, his foot soon
became hopelessly entangled in the lady's
ample hoops. With the momentum he h, d
acquired, the swinging motion of the car,
he failed to steady himself, and with two or
three spasmodic contOrtiOns, the Judge fell,
face downward, full length on the car
floor. Gathering himself up, the Judge,
without saying a single word, walked for
ward and took a seat, while the young
lady's countenance, in the rapid changes of
color, evinced anger, hate and mortifica-
ton at the ludicrOus scene to which she had
unwittingly contributed so large share,
while the passengers roared with laughter.

"Voting Idiots" and adds:

have the Radical rcprobates lost all sem

idiots were taken from their homes by the

their hands; after voting which, the price
was there and then unblushingly paid. Let
us only refer tn the case of Everich, who,
early in the morning took the Wagoners
(who are known by every one to be idiots)
to the polls, made them the machines
through which he put in his ballots, took
them across the street. gave them a sack OF
flour apiece (the price fixed upon), and
then sent them home. All this they did
openly, unblushingly; Delano's friends ad-
mitting it all-and yet have they the brazen,
impudence to whine about corruption
Judging from the election returns, II all

A Sad Accident.
KANKAKEE, ILL, Oct. z


To the Editor Of the Chicago Times:
A terrible mistake was made on Saturday
last, by Mrs. Sarah Robinson, widow, in
administering medicine to her child, little
girl eight years old. This child and a
younger one have been sick with the ague,
and quinine was ordered by the physician,
and quinine powders were furnished by him.
These powders were used up, and the moth
er attempted to give one OF them dose, out
of what she supposed to be quinine, which
she had had in the house for two years past.
She accordingly got the paper containing
the medicine and prepared adose. The lit
tie girl so persistently objected to taking it
that the mother threw it out. The little
patientcontinued quite ill, and the mother
prepared a new dose, the last there was of
the powder, and gave it. In two minutes
the child went into spasms, and in thirty
minutes, and before medical aid could be
summoned, it was corpse. The mother
had given strychnine, supposing it to be
quiniEe. She became almost frantic with
grief when she learned the terrible mistake
she had made. Two days previous she gave
the other child dose out of this same pa
per. 1t likewise was thrown into spasms
Immediately, but the stomach nauseated,
and she threw it up, and its life was saved.
She supposed this extraordinary effect of
the dose was due to the weak condition of
the patient, and the idea of poison was not
once thought of. The mother insists that
she bought the powder for quinine some
wears since. NJ,

.The widow.

In the great Paris Exhibition there will
be painting with the simple title of "The
Widow" A terrible fact connected with
this picture is thus related: "The lady is
the Countess D., who, although only
twenty-four years of age, has been twice
widowed. She is said to be of humble
birth; but when only sixteen years of age,
her great beauty attracted the attention OF
the Marquis de u, who married her
On leaving the chnrch, however, the Mar
quis was assassinated by some obscure ri
val, and the lady was left widow with an
immense fortune. The Marquise retire to
to convent, where she remained until her
twentieth year. She had made journey
to various parts of Europe, and visited,
among other places, st. Petersburg, where
one of the most wealthy boyards of Russia
placed st her feet his heart, his diamonds
and his millions. The marriage was cele-
brated in the house of the bridegroom's
mother, in remote part of Russia, some
distance from her own estate. The newly
married couple left. for their new home in
magnificent sleigh. On the way they
were attacked by wolves, and the Count,
in trying to defend his bride, made false
step, fell out Of the sleigh into the snow,
and was Immediately devoured by the
wolves. The horses, mad with terror,
dashed off with immense speed, and did not
stop until they arrived at the Counts cha
teau, which was brilliantly illuminated for
the newly married couple" s .

For Governor.

Our worthy and most excellent Demo
cratic friend William Hubbard, Esq, edi-
tor of the Marion Democrat, suggests the
name of Col. John II. James, of UrbaDa, as
suitable candidate for Governor of Ohio
The suggestion is good one and we shall
cordially indorse the nomination, In case II
shall be made; but with all due respect tc
Col. James and Bro. Hubbard, we beg
leave to suggest the name of Hon. Allen G.
Thurman-a name that is known to every
Democrat in Ohio, and reyered wherever
known. We name him, not that we have
any objection to Col. James, but because
the people should have a choice of men
and there is no man in Ohio who more just
ly deserves the honor of the position thar
