aud in going to church was escorted by Sir
Richard Clough, the owner Of the property
in tha neighborhood. formerly in service OF
Sir Thomas Gresham. and at that time very
eminent merchant. In returning home from
the burial, she was attended by young gen.
tleman of property, named Morris Wynn
He, perceiving the widow to be not very IN
consolable, and fred by her charms, proited
by the opportunity to whisper tale OF love
into her ears, and finally asked her to be his
wife. she, by no means startled at this odd
ly timid proposal, civilly declined his offer,
saying that she accepted a similar one from
Clough on her way to church but, probably
observing young Wynn to be much cast
down at her refusal, and being large-heart-
ed, companionable woman, she sought to
console the rejected lover by the assurance
that il she survived ClouPh, Wynn should
be her third husband. This promise she duly
kept when three years later, she was a sec

she outlive her husband, and a fourth time
became a wife, marrying Mr.. Edward Thai

One Of Coughs Stories .

AT political meeting the speaker and au-
dienee were very much disturbed by a man
who constantly called ont for Mr.. Henry
Whenever new speaker came on this man
bawled ont, Mr.. Henry! Henry Henry
I call for Mr.. Henry !"
After several interruptions Of this kind at
each speech, a young man ascended to the
platform, and was soon airing his eIoguence
in a maguioquent styIe striking out power
fully in his gestures, when the old cry was
heard for Mr.. Henry.
Putting his hand to his mouth like a speak
ing trumpet, this man was bawlng out at the
top Of his voice, Mr. Henry Henry Hen
ry I call for Mr. Henry to make a speech |"
The chairman now rose, and remarked
that it would oblige the audience if the gen.
tleman would refrain from any further call
ing for Mr.. Henry, as that gentleman was
now. speaking.
Is that Mr. Henry2" said the disturber
Of the meeting "Thunder! that can't be
Mr. Henryl Why that's the little cuss that
told me to hollerl"
Mr.. Cough adds, that in telling this story
to a man who could never be made to see
the "point" of joke, after studying for
some minutes the man asked him: Well,
Mr. Cough, what did he tell him to holler
for ?"

MANY person have wondered what was the
signifcation of the different whistles of loco

One whistle" Dawn brakes"
Two whistles-" Of brakes"
Three whistles-"Back mp"
Continuous whistles" Danger"
A rapid succession Of short whistles ia the
cattle alarm, al which the brakes will always
be put down.
A sweeping parting Of the hands on level
Of the eye is signal to "go ahead"
A downward motion Of the hand, with ex-
tended arm. to stop"
A beckoning motion of one hand to back.
A lantern raised and lowered vertically is
a signal Tor starting at right an
giles or cross ways the track, "to stop -
swung in a circle back the train"
A red flag upon the track must be regard
ed as signal OF danger. So of other signals
given with energy.
Hoisied at a station, is signal for train
to stop.
Stuck up by the roadside, is a signal of
danger on the track ahead.
Carried unfurfed upon an engine, is a warn
ing that another engine or train is on its

DEAR SIR:-Your letter, inclosing a
COPY of a call for a National Convention
to be held at Philadelphia on the 18th
inst, has long been before me. I at once
expressed to you my hearty concurrence
in its objects, but causes, not within my
control, have thus far delayed me in Civ

and at large, my views on the subject.
We all feel and know that the condi-

some respects anomalous. The different
departments of the Government Go not
move harmoniously in theirproper spheres
but in some respects retard and disturb

Is Truth Worth ANYTHING?

THE BASTARD The
grand Radical, loyal Convention has
come off in Philadelphia. The grand
total of delegates from every State and
Territory in the United States amount
ed tojust scventythree, besides Fred
Douglas and Anna Dickinaon.
So says the Waverly Ne,cs. Now
mark the truth. Neither Fred Doug
las, nor any other Northerner, had any
part in the Southern Loyalists' Con
Tention. From the official record of
the Convention before us, we find that
there were $50 regular delegates from
the Southern States alone; instead of
the "seventy-three' pretended above,
as coming from every State and Terri
tory in the United States. If to these
wc add the great Northern Convention
sitting at the same time, we have at
least a thousand of the greatest and
best men of the. country there as dele
gates. Instead Of being 1.-THE bastard
convention" as here termed, this was
the only genuine loyal gathering, and
that term bastard belongs alone to the
Johnson bread land butter mob mt Phil
adelphia.
Sec above, how unscrupulously these
conservative editors will lie, even the
best looking and most prctentious of
them. And now, for more correct
view of the Loyal Convention, read
tho following from the off cial report:
.7!The procession in escort of the South
crn delegates got under way about
eleven, and marched to the League
Club House, where the general rccep-
ton took place. Everything passed off
harlnoniously and without accident.
Every step OF tho long march was an
ovation to he remem bered for life
Time. The city seemed half beside it,
self with patriotic ardor. The process
sion occupied forty minutes in passing
given point. Nearly a hundred flags
marked its line; sixteen bands made
the music to which it stepped; con-
slant cheers, and mighty waving of
handkerchicfs were its momcntary
welcome; thousand fircmen were out
in most brilliant anl beautiful array;
twenty thousand persons crowded the
sidew walks in hoistrous jubilation; hun
drcds upon hundreds ofe!egantly dress
cd ladies smiled their welcoming light
from numberless windows; it Was II
triunlphai march all the way.
The immense procession reached the
building about one o'clock. Gov.
Brownlow was the first delegate to en-
ter. He and all other prominent dele
gatax were received with cheers by the
audience present. The Northern dele
cation did not take seats, very few of
them even appearing among the andi-
tors. The members of the convention
occupied the front part of the hall, the
rear portion and the gallery being filed
by spectators, of whom some 800 were
present. The band was stationed in
the gallery Immediately over the main
stairway. The delegates in attendance
numbered about $50, every Southern
State being represented. a.. .s..r..-.

THE MEMS,

Secretary Seward has been very sick
at Washington, and a fatal result was
feared; but he is now better.
There has been a great freshct in
Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. Every
railroad but one running out of Cincin-
natl has been interrupted. Towns in
valleys are submerged, and immense
damage has been done to the corn crop.
The National Convention Of the
"true blue Soldiers aud Sailors, open
ell at Pittsburgh Monday. There was a
large attendance from all the loyal
parts OF the Union. .....-..
1t is now announced, as if by author
ity of Chief Justice Chase, that the tri-
al of JEFF Davis will not take place UNI
til some further action of Congress.
A family of five persons-husband
wife, and three daughters-pcrished in
the flames of q burning house in New
York Sunday morning, and others were
severely injured by jumping from win
dows.
The cholera is raging to an alarming
degree in Nashville There were s.
deaths from that disease during "a hours
ending at 8 o'clock this morning. On
ly about 5000 citizens remain in the
town, and many of those are leaving.
Farmers from various parts of North
ern Illinois, say that the injury to the
corn crop by the recent frosts will
prove far more serious, in the aggre-
gate, than is generally supposed.
The rebellion has actually broken
out anew in Texas. At the city OF
Benham, the citizens have risen ia
armed opposition to the detachment of
Federal troops stationed there. The
Adjutant General of Texas has offered
to send State troops to aid the insu.rec,
tionists. The Federal soldiers are in.
trcnehed and confident of being able to
stand their ground. General Sheridan
has gone to the scene Of trouble.
