year of their marriage. just before dinner
one of them broke tumbler This led to a
discussion, which degenerated into quarrel,
which ended in each party expressing wonder
at having had the patience to live twenty
years with so horrid and so stupid an animal
the other. The wife put on her bonnet and
quit the house, Thehusband lighted chatting
dish full of charcoal in his chamber, and lay
on the floor. When the guests came and failed
to obtain admittance, they broke open the
doors, and found the husband a corpse.

borhood of Rowland Flat, and who has, for
several years, been employed in the meat mar

few months ago, and left for the East. He
kindly consented to take under his protecting
care the wife and child Of an intimate friend,
in whose house he had ever received hearty
welcome, as from brother. The woman had
left her fathers home in Michigan, some three
years ago, blooming bride Of nineteen, and
she was anxious to exhibit to the grand parents
her beautiful babe And so, with many affec-

Round Dances.

What a glazing inconsistency is there mani
tested in the liberation at one time of a pos
ture which, under any other circumstances
would blast reputation? No pure woman
would suffer a man to retain her hand in his,
much less to encircle her in his arm, in the
ordinary relations of social life; and yet at the
bidding of fashion, and because the additional
stimulus of musicis superaddcd, she will not
only permit these liberties, but will remain
willingly strained to his breast for a quarter
of an hour at time, publicly exhibiting her
self in position which in itself she vrtuousIy
condemns.
Favors which would properly be denied to
the most respectable of her acquaintance off
the dancing floor, are there accorded freely
even to a notorious Iibertine; for 10 guarantee
is required from those to whom fashion en-
trusts the persons of her females devotees, fur
.ther than proficiency in an art chiefly acquired
by our young men through association with
the most degraded Of the other sex-all men
tai or moral disqualification being condoned
by the single merit Of dancing well.
Many young girl, who intuitivey shrinks
from the endearments innocentIy proffered by
her affianced lover, unthinkingy subjects her
self to the communicating embrace and irrev-
erent commerce of debauche Writings, whose
every thought is concealed insult.
Not that we would imply sweeping cen
sure upon the male portion of the community;
for many-perhaps most-are gentleu EN- and
as such incapable of harboring an idea repug-
nant to female purity.
But, in SO composite society as ours some
evil characters are inevitably introduced; and
even of those whose antccedents and position
should vouch for their refinement, there are
many whose coarse bad tastes and dissipated
courses render their contact with virtuous
women almost sacrilege.

EFFECTS OF WINE ON DIsEAsE.-Dr. Gale
observes, in his treatise on disease that the
great use Of wine in France is supposed to
have abated the prevalence of the gravel. In
the French colonies, where pure wine is more
used than in the English, as well as in Tur-
key, where's the Samburg port wine is the
principal beverage. and not ouly the govt but
the gravel are scarcely known. DR.. la Pote
relates as an extraordinary instance of the
effects of the Samburg port wine on govt, the
case of DR.. Daveran, who was attacked with
the govt at the age of 25, and had it severely
until he was upwards of so, with chalk stones
in the joints Of his hands and feet, buo four
years preceding the time when his case had
been given to DIR. La Pote to lay before the
public, he had by advice used Samburg port
wine, and had no return of the govt after

cial has the following items:
Rumors of the intended resignation OF
General o. o. Howard, as Commissioner
of the Freedmen's Bureau, are again
afioat. He could be relieved, but no ap-
plication to be relieved will be made, as
The President would construe the action
on the mart of the General as that he was
unable to administer tho affairs OF his
denartment, and Mr. Johnson would claim
this as sufficient justification for the dis
missal, from the army, of we'll known
and gallant officer. General Howards s
friends insist that he shall not commit
himself in such manner, and Secretary
Stanton plainly and emphatically asserts
that so long as he is Chief of the War
Department, Howard shall remain Com
missioner of the Freedmen's Bureau.
Major General SchOfield, commanding
the department of Virginia, Headquar-
ters at Richmond, has made the slgnlti'
cant move of taking up his residence at

The Union citizens of that city have

The Secretary of War was deposed, but
no successor appointed. His accounts
were satisfactory, but he was believed to
be incompetent. General ONeil was
appointed Inspector General of the Irish
Republican Army, and Colonel Bailey
Chief Military Organizer. 1t is still
hoped that General Sheridan will be
prevailed upon to accept the command
of the Irish army.

New YORK, Sept. 10.-The following
foreign items were received by the City
of Boston, which has arrived at this
port.
Count Bismarck delivered most sig
nifcant speech in the Prussian Legisla'
ture on the Goth ult. in defense of his
German annexation policy. He declares
that Prussia must lay hold OIL and keep
what is offered to her, that the European
Congress would produce war, and that
the Crown is determined and able to de-
fend the new territorial acquisitions
The leaders of the opposition denied that
the consideration of the power of the
Prnisian Crown Strengthened German
unity.
A French commander of the camp at
Chalons, in dismissing the troops, ad-
dressed the soldiers by order OF the EN-
peror, calling their attention to the VIC
tories by name in which Napoleon first
defeated the Austrians, Russians and
Prussians, and telling them to ever ch er
ish the memories of Austerlitz and jena.
Polish accounts from Cracow assert
that the insurgent Poles in Siberia de
feated the Russians, and being joined
by revolutionary Russians, they have
marched toward the frontier of China.
The exchange of the Austrian and
Prussian peace treaty took place at
Prague on the 30th. The text of the
treaty would be published at Berlin and
Vienna September 1st.
A Berlin dispatch says: A binding
declaration of adhesion having been re-
ceived from all the States invited by
Prussia, further steps were being taken
for the actual confirmation of the incor-
poration of the newly acquired terrific
ries A commission is about to be ap.
pointed, composed of chief officers OF
administrative departments, to draw up
a plan for assembling the constitutional
arrangements of the annexed States to
those of Prussia.
On the 11th of August, the Emperor
Napoleon wrote TO the King of Italy as
follows:
Ihave learned with pleasure that your
Majesty agrees to the armistice signed
by the King of Prussia and the Emperor
of Austria. 1t is, therefore, probable
that an era of peace and tranquility is
about to open up for Europe. Your
Majesty is aware that I accepted the
offer of Venitia to avoid useless blood
shed. My intention was always to re-
store it to herself, in order that Italy
might be free from the Alps to the Adri-
attic, and mistress of her own destinies.
Venitia will soon be able to express her
wishes by means of universal suffrage.
Your Majesty will acknowledge that in
these circumstances the influence of
France was again asserted in favor Of
humanity and the influence of the peo-
pie.
