A Northern Adventurer in Dixie


A Northern Adventurer in Dixie.
Two fair and buxom maidens, says the
Mobile Advertiser, who have passed the
rubicon of their teens, managedto accu-
mulate handsome little sum by hard and
honest toll in the city of Augusta, and
embarked in business in.one of the corner
stores of that thriving burgh. They
were quite successful, and made sufficient
money to invest in fifteen bales of cotton.
While they were thus progressing in the
road to wealth and happiness, dashing
young man-one of the numerous pre-
posing adventurers from the North
happened along one day, and the eldest
sister was infatuated with him. Her af-
fection was reciprecated by the nice
young man, and after brief period of
love making, peculiar to most marriages,
they resolved to unite their fortunes, and
the wedding took place on the 1st of Feb
ruary.
The happy young wife was induced by
the bright promises of her sweet William
to turn the store and cotton into money
and take a wedding tour, after which
they were to start in business on larger
scale. She fully confded in him and sold
out. The husband got possession Of the
money, and left with his wife and her sis
ter for Mobile. On the way to this place
he made the wedding tour merry by pay
ing out like prince and living like a
lord. They arrived here in the early
part ofslast week, and it seems that the
"tond young husband" hado whitfield the
capital down to the paltry sum of $3.50.
The wife was filled with grave suspicious,
but said nothing. On Thursday William
borrowed her watch and jewelry, on some
slight pretext, when the terrible truth of
his design flashed upon her. She, how
ever, kept her own counsel, resolving to
keep close watch on him.
Sure enough, she discovered that he
had taken out the trunks, and all she
had in the world. No time was lost in
procuring the services of two of our sharp
est detectives. They traced the abscond-
ing husband to the mail boat, and from
that he had lost passage and went. to the
Battle House with the trunks. The wife
was sent to him, and quietly asked why
he had changed their boarding house
without saying word to her about it.
This put the husband off his guard, and
she induced him to go down street with
her to look at q storcwhich she wasinfornl-
ed could be rented very cheap. He ac-
companied his injured wife, and she led
him to the station house, where he was
furnished with the room to which she had
alluded. His name is William Moler,
but we refrain from giving the maiden
name of the young lady SO villainously
duped by the heartlcss wretch. He is
now under bond Of $500, and dinf pee
vile. Some efforts have been made to
get him released, but thus far they have
proved unavaiing. The young wife and
her sister are now in our city, and in os,
session of only $3.50 of the handsome
sum placed in the hands of this nice
young man.

SPOKEN LIKE HERo.--A literary gen.
tleman, who is engaged in writing book
on some events in the war, in which Mos
by was concerned, has recently had some
correspondence with that noted person
age, and a short time ago inquired of him
if it would be safe for IA Black Republi-
can-one dyed in the woor-so he de-
scribed himselt-to make at the present
time horseback journey through vir-
ginia. In reply, that famous rough-rider
writes the gentleman as follows:
off you have any desire to visit the
historic scenes of Virginia, I hope you
will not be deferred by any apprehension
for your personal safety. You will be
lust as safe from molestation here as in the
streets of Boston. Should you determine
to visit Northern Virginia, I would be
glad to see you at my home; and I can
at least promise that you will not find me

imagination. By-the-by, one of the reg
iments most frequently encountered was
from about Boston-the Cd Massachusetts,
Col. Lowell [ once net detachment
of it under command of Major Forbes,
of Boston; and although our encounter
resulted in his overthrow, he bore himself
with conspicuous gallantry, and [ saw
him wound one of my best men with his
sabre. I also had an interview with q
Captain Barton, Of Massachusetts,, who
served on Gen. Eustace's staff, and inter
ested myself to procure his exchange
In the event of your visiting Virginia, ]
shall be most happy to extend to you any
facility in my power for seeing places o1

THE DEVIL AND THE LAWYERS.

The devil came up to the earth one day.,
And into the Court House ne wended his way,
just as an attorney, with very grave face,
Was proceeding to argue the points of case.
Now, q lawyer his majesty never had seen,
For to his dominions none ever had been,
And he felt very curious the reason to know,
Why ynone had been sent to the regions below.
Twas the fault of his agents, his majesty thought,
Why none of these lawyers had ever been caught,
And for his own pleasure had desire,
To come to the earth, and the reason inquire
Well, the lawyer rose with yisage SO grave,
Made out his opponent q consummate knave;
And the devil was really greatly amused,
To hear the attorney so greatly abused.
AS soon as the speaker had come to close,
The counsel opposing then fercely arose,
And heaped such abuse on the head of the hrst,
And made him villain, of all men the worst.
Thus they quarreled, contended and argued so long
twas hard to determine the one that was wrong,
And concluding he'd heard quite enough of the
s'fuss,'
Old Nick turned away, and solilOquized thus:
.If all they have said of each other be true,
The Devil has surely been robbed of his due;
I'm satisfied now, tits all very well,
For these lawyers would turn the morals of hell
.They have puzzled the Court with their villain
Gus cayil,
And I'm free to confess, they have puzzled the
Devil;
nv agents are right to let lawyers alone;
If had them, they'd sWindle me cut ofmy throne.

Another form Of the superstitions of
this race was disclosed at the session of
the Methodist Conference, which as
sembled at Galveston on the 9th ult.
The following is an extract from the
proceedings:
Emanuel Hammitt, a negro preach
er from Millican, was elected to dea-
cons orders. 1t was stated that he
could read the Bible well, was a good
preacher, and Southern in his feelings.
The bishop wished to know if he held
any Of the superstitions common a.
mong the blacks, and was informed
that he did not. The bishop then sta
ted that in travelling lately through
Harrison county, on Red River, he
had found a religious organization of
negroes, calling themselves The An
gel Band They were under the di-
rection of an old negro woman whom
they called the 'God-mother, and who.
they believed, knew all their thoughts
and actions, whether they were present
or absent. She prescribed punishment
at pleasure, which was received with
opposition by the criminal.
"lt was expected that each person
should receive a revelation from Heav-
en- and relate it to the society. One
boy, about fourteen years of age, re-
ceived no divine light, and was order
ed to be flogged till the vision came.
This was done and wonderful story
was related. The bishop asked the
boy how it was thatthe whipping gave
him sucha revelation, and received the
answer: Sir, if you had been whip
ped as | was, you would have had a
revelation.""

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE AND THE
PRESIDENT.-The Washington Corre-
spondent of the Boston IdrertiSer, Rad
ical, gives ina dispatch of the 18th inst.
the following accout of the nuch-talk-
ed of interviews between the Chief JUS
tice and the President:
Mr.. Chase has recently had two in
terviews with the President. The first
of these was concerning judicial mat
ters and had no connection with sub
sequent informal meeting of Cabinet
ministers. At the second interview,
by appointment for that purpose, he
was asked and gave his opinion upon
the questions before the country, ear
nestly advising the President to rec
ommend the adoption of the amend
ment of the Constitution rs Just basis
of settlement, or, if he was not prepa-
red for that, to take ground in favor of
substituting for the second and third
sections of the amendment universal
amnesty and impartial suffrage. The
counsels of the Chief Justice have not
heretofore been followed and there are
no indications that they will be this
time. In fact, Mr.. Johnson yesterday
expressed emphatically his determipa-
ton to abide by his position.

William Shakespeare was born in
Stratford in 1861. All the Commenta-
tiers, Shaksperian scholars, etsetry, are
agreed on this, which is the only thing
they are agreed on in regard to him,
except that his mantle hasn'tfallen on
to any poet or dramatist hard enough
to hurt said poet or dramatist nluch.
And there is no doubtif these commen-
taters and persons c0ntinner investiga-
ting Shakespeare's career, we shall not,
in due time, know anything about itall.
When mere lad, little William at
tended the Grammar School, because,
as he said, the Grammar School would
Mt attend him.-This remarkable re-
mark coming from one so young and
inexperienced, set peple to thinking
there might be something in this lad.
He subsequently wrote Hamlet" and
George BarnwelI." When his kind
teacher went to London to accept po-
sition in the offices of the Metropolitan
Railway, little William was chosen by
his fellow-pupils to deliver a farewell
address. "Go on, sir" he said, ''in
glorious career. Be like a eagle, and
