Unfortunate for Friend Christian.

On Monday last negro was convicted, By
the proper authorities at Greensboro, for
demonstrating, and placed in charge of OH
young frisnd Captain John Christian, for the
purpose of committing him to jail at this
place. When within . few miles of Eutaw
the vehicle, in which they We're travelling,
stuck fast in mud-hole, and finding it i'm
possible to get out of the unpleasant prsdica-
ment without assistance, G. united his priso-
ner for the purpose Of getting his aid, and
was soon again on terra .ttr1sG. On sttemp-
ing to replace the shackles our compassionate
friend discovered the limbs of the feedrnen 80
much swollen that he concluded it best not to
do so, trusting to his honor not to escape

and prscpitated him from the buggy, at the
same time grasping C.'s pistol and presenting
it at him, warned him not to advance. G. en-
deavored to compromise with the boy, which
he eventually did; Mr.. Freedman granting
him the liberty of going ON his way to Eutaw

A Test of AHe elton.

The Limerick Southern Chronicle vouches
for the following romantic incident as having
occurred in neighboring county:
A certain young lady, possessing more than
ordinary accomplishments for her class in life,
being the daughter Of poor but respectable pa
rents, on the death of wealthy relative be-
came entitled to $4,000. When the glad
tidiass raaeaod the ears Of h4ar nai gklaas many
warm admirers focked around the hitherto
neglected beauty, and there was no end to the
oyertures of love. Previous to the turn Of for
tunes wheel, a young man, of humble preten-
sions, had been the young lady's only suitor
but the knowledge of her wealth at once placed
formidable barrier in his way, and he con-
tented himself with being humble and
silent worshipper at a distance.
Matters ultimately came to crisis, and, in
order to test the affection of her devotees, the
young lady caused report to be circulated
that the supposed fortune was in reality only
a sham, this mistake having occurred through
a similarity of name.
This intelligence had the effect of causing
the visits of the lovers to become less frequent,
and finally they ceased altogether. The hum
BILE youth rejoiced at the change, and at once
took an opportunity to console the mistress of
his heart, who, to the surprise of all, rewarded
his sincerity with her hand, and made him the
sole master of $4,000.

A Novel Remedy.

A good story is told of a fellow who put up
at an Indiana cabin on the Wabash, and who,
after eating an enormous supper of cucum-
bers, was attacked with collie The woman of
the house, after being consulted, said:
@1ll 60 and fetch mother, cause, stranger,
do reckon she's the awfIllest best hand for
curn' collie in the whole Wabash bottom"
She went into another part of the house,
and ten minutes after, one of the ugliest, sad
lowest little old women l ever saw in any
part of the civilized world, came hobbling in
Her gait was hardly decent hobble. 1t was
more like that of-a--rhsamatie ostrich Her
nose and chin almost riies'over the shrunken
cavity doing duty as mouth, and as
she shufaed toward me, she mumbled as if
chewing the cud. On the end of her nose gas
great wart, with four or five gray bristles
struggling FROM it.

she recons you've got the colics powerful
Now, I've been 10 myself nigh to hundred

Betsy Jane, she's been that way; Richard, he's

in five minutes after swallowing it-that lead
was death on COLES. Being terribly racked,
and hardly knowing what did, seized the
bullet, and with single gulp down it went.
No sooner was it down than repented Of
having swallowed it. remembered to have
heard that lead was poisonous. Starting up
cried out:
"You old wretch, you have killed me
Lead is deadly poison. can feel it cold in
my stomach nowP
"Ah, sh, ali he, he, he laughed the old
erone, in a shrill, cracked voice-"kill yer;

stranger, that bullets been in the family nigh
on to twenty years. Richard, he has swal-

they've swallowed it; and I've swallowed it
myself, nigh on to forty times"
"Yous" cried, starting from my seat; ''you

and sixty-eight gallons Of malt liquors were
manufactured, sold and consumed in Chicago
during the past year.
Admitting the population of Chicago to be
10000, the consumption is equal to thirty
nine gallons for each man, woman and chill
But it should be remembered, says the same
temperance Journal, that large quantities of ale
and beer from other places, besides imported
ale and porter in bottles, are guzzled by the
Inhabitants, to say nothing of other brews:
from which the fact may be fairly deduced
that the bibulous capacity of that people ex-
tends to at least fifty gallons per capita.
The st. Louis papers attribute this whole
sale guzzling of beer and other malt liquors
in Chicago to the fact that the people are
without water fit to drink. Since the dis
covery of dead fish and decayed human fin
gers in the hydrant water, they have substi-
tuted ale and beer as beverage. Sad neces-
sity.

A Romantic Love story.

The Count de st. Croix, belonging to enc of
the noblest and wealthiest families in France,
became engaged, after long and assiduous
courtship, to a lady, his equal in position and
fortune, and famous for her beauty. Shortly
after the happy day was appointed that was
to render two loving hearts one, the Count was
ordered Immediately to the siege of Sebastapol:
SO he grded on his sabre, and at the head of
his regiment marched to the battlefield. Du-
ring the Counts absence, it happened that bis
beautiful fdacee had the smallpox; and after
lowering between life and death for many days,
she recovered her health, but found her beauty
hopelessly gone.
The disease had assumed, in her case, the
most virulent character, and left her not only
disfgured, but scanned and SCARED to such a
frightful extent, that she became hideous to
herself and resolved to pass the remainder of
her days in the strictest secusion.
A year passed away, when one day the
Count, Immediately upon his return to France,
accompanied by his valet, presented himself
at the residence of his betrothed, and solicited
an interview. This was refused He, however,
with the persistence of a lover, pressed his
suit, and finally the lady made her appear
ance, closely muffled in double veil. At the
sound of her voice the Count rushed forward
TO embrace her, but, stepping aside, she trem-
blingly told him the story of her sorrows, and
burst into tears.
A heavenly smile brske over the Counts
handsome countenance, as raising his hands
above her, he exclaimed: sit is Gods work; /
am blind.
When CALAMITY leading bis regiment to the
attack, cannon ball passed so closely to his
eyes, that while it left their expression I'M
changed, and his countenance unnasked, 1t
robbed him forever Of sight. It is almost un-
necessary to say that their marriage was soon
after solemnized.

upon the arm Of lady closely yelled; and they
they seem to be attracted to the spot by thsir
love of music
