How Jack Egecamc "a seRlO-
CgnH.

Jack was A red-ho nbolitiouist, and
his chief pleasure seemed in making the
Gct as notorious as possible. Ills
friends aud associates, with one consent,
pronounced Jack a bore anda nuisance.
One day, Jack met at the house OF
friend a young lady Of great personal
beauty aud accomplishments Attract
ed by her loyelness, and captiyated BY
her intelligence, he became assiduous IN
his itentions, forgot for while his
'principlcs," and without inquiring
what might haze been the political pref
erence Of his lady-loye, iuprudontly
proposed, was accepted, and they were
married.
The wedding was soyer, the guests had
departed, aud the happy pair had re-
tiged 10 their chamber, aud were augly
cnscouccd ia bed, when Jack, in the
c0ursc Of quiet conversation with his
wife. uunittingly alluded TO bis iayorlte
subject, by casually speaking OF himself
as Republican

sharply aud Suddenly toward him, arc

ABpyE MS BusrNEss.--It is ser-
ious evil that many young man has
fallen IN 70 bo above his business A
person learns a trade, and then he must
20 to shopkeeping, or street loafng, or
turn politician. rool If he cannot
make living at his trade, wc are sure
he cannot any other way. And then,
young men brought up to shop keeping
must buy farms, or some other foolish
things they know nothing about, and
what is the RESULT Head over heels
ia debt and certain failure Multitudes
have been ruined BY being above their

WALLS New OPERA HousE.-The merican

WALLS New OPERA HOUSE The American
rival of Ristori, Mrs. D. P. Bowers makes her
first appearance in Washington this season: at
Walls New Opera House tonight, in her fine
impersonation Of Lady Audley, ina dralnatiza-
ton Of Miss Braddon's Lady Audley's Secret.
Mrs. Bowers acting of Lady AudIey is mar
Velous; she gives picture SO full ofsubtle pow
er, with its opposite and seemingly irreconcllc-
able attributes so delcately blended, that before
the curtain falls we are ever ready to believe
that if there never has been 8 Lady Audley,
yet there might have been. The criminal re-
cords of the past afford in Madame de Brnvi!-
Tiers the nearest parallel to this sensations! crca-
ton of Miss Braddon's but there was in the
Madame certain consistency with nature
that her ladyshp does lot possess IN the novel,
and with which nothing less than the consumate
skill Of Mrs Bowers could invest her. The
Company at Wallis New Opera House affords,
ofcoursc, an almost perfect cast and we hazard
little in saying that thu central figure of Mrs.
Bowers in Lady Audley has never before been
surrounded by groupings as artistic and a like
ly to throw out in their strongest light that
strangely combined creation Of novelist and ac-
tress-a murderess, with the manners Of an an
GEL an Eumenide, with the outer softness of
Psyche. The house will probably be crowded
as usual, and as the play will only be presented
once more this season, our readers should not
lose the opportunity.

PHOTOGRAPHS. We have seen some admi-
rabie photographs taken by Mr.. Schuler, at his
gallery, n E. corner Of King and Pitt streets,
amongst them, striking and correct likeness Of
an old and valued friend and fellow citizen, than
which nothing could be better ia the resemb-
lance, the shading, and the general appearance.
The arrangements in this gallery for getting the
best light for the practice of the art, appear to
be admirable There are several excellent
photographers in this place, we'll patronized,
and deservedy so, and of whom favorable men
lion is made 81 all who have had pictures
taken by them; but we think this notice due
to Mr.. Schuler, for the success of his efforts,
and On his own account, personally, and for his
losses and suhieriugs during ''the times which

The SEASONS DRINKs-While walking on
King street moroing or two since we met a
venerable and distinguished gentlemen from
the country, upon the bridge of whose nose,
We discovered, as we shook him by the hand,
some Of the yolk Of an egg. Surprising he
had eaten eggs for breakfast, but wondering
how they had gotten so high up in on his face,
we mentioned what we had noticed and,
thanking US, with his handkerchief he removed
the yellow stain. An hour or so afterwards we
visited the Mansion House, and the reason
why the egg was on our friends nose was rem
dered apparent at once-they had egg nog
around there, aud in drinking some lhe rim Of
the glass had rested On his nose. Well, the
egg nog was the first we had seen this season,
but in addition to it they had tom and jerry,
aud egg Hip, and apple teddy, and lnul!ed wine;
and the song Of copper kettle Oh the stove
brought the light Of other and college days
around us, and made IS think Of Burns lines
on Scotch drinks:

Accepts Bardies grateful thanks
When wanting thee, what tunlers crunks,
Are my poor verses
Thou comcs-they rattle i their ranks,

Yes. they had all Inc seasons drinks there,
and bad them in perfection, aud our visit there
strengthened the opinion we had long ago
formed, that the young man who wrote on Z

placed it under the pillow OF King Darius de-
served the prize lie did mt receive.

LITIGATION EXTRAORDINARI.-- In the case
of Maddux VS.. Ayres, for the ownership Of the
Langolan estate in Loudoun county, Judge
Thomas on Saturday last, granted the petit
toner Maddux, al appeal from the decision
rendered by Judge Meredith on the 10Th day
oflast August When the cause comes up for
trial again it will be before the District Court
which convenes at Williamsburg, and the next
term of that court will not commence until De-
cember 1867 addux, in the meantime, re
tanning possession. This case is one Of consid
cradle interest, and from the number of courts
ia which it has been considered, begins to at
tract general attention. It was first tried in
the County Court Of Rappahannock county,
then in the Hastings Court at Richmond, then
at IIeesburg, where it vas before the Court
two or three times, then at Fairfax Court
House, where the issues involved in it were
argued by the most distinguished legal talent
in the State, ancl now it is sent to the District
Court at Williamsburg, from which, We sup
pose it will reach the Court Of Appeals in
Richmond, in which, after years of delay it
will be definitely settled After Que Of the de-
ciSions Of the court in Lecs5urg, he estate
came into the possession Of Ayras, who had
commenced to work it, but Maddux regained,
and still holds possession of it,

Z MANASSAS GAP RAILROAD. From an arti-
Gle in the Rockingham Register, ne extract
the following:
I'VE state, for the benefit and encourage
ment OF our people, such facts in connection
with the movements of the Manassas Gap
Railroad as have recently been brought to our
notice To understand what the company is
now doing, it is necessary to know what con
dition the road was left in at the close of the
war. Its Eastern end was utterly used up by
the Federal authorities, the rails being taken
up and hauled off and put down on other roacS,
and the cross ties destroyed This was done
to the whole road from Manassas junction to
piedmont, a distance Of thirty iour mile;
This section is being rapidly reconstructed, !"
that is filled up and re-Iad The road is now
in running order from Lioden to Salem, and
the company is engaged in laying track both
ways, East and West, between Salem and
Manassas Junction. A strong party is engag-
ed in this work of track laying between these
points. As soon as that is done the Company
will apply all it's energies and resources to a
forward movement in this direction, and the
intelligent Chief Engineer, Maj. a. II. John
son, thinks the road will be completed to
Woodstock early next Summer Once at
Woodstock, the work this way will progress
rapidly, for the work is nearly all done between
that point and Harrisonburg The Company
will then be standing upon its feet 1t will
not be quite so poor that no one will 10 it
reverence. It will show that it has essential
vitality-that it can perform the functions of
its being 1t will be proud day for this
down trodden child Of the mouutains-this
unfortunate creature of nistortunes and misad-
ventures and mishaps from the beginning to
the end of its past history,-when it shall
again enter this magnificent Valley in power
and strength"
