IS not necessary to mention here.
Previous to leaving Panama he en-
deavored to foist this strumpet on to
some respectable foreign family here, for
lear her reputation might suffer by re-
naming alone at the hotel after he left,
before he could send for her from Chilli !;
and he even induced one of our leading
foreigners here, innocent of her char
aeter, to Use his influence to this end.
The reply the latter got, however, to his
first application, opened his eyes and
satisfied him Of the imposition attempt
ed to be praeticed on him by Fitzpatrick.
After leaving Panama the General wrote
back to the same gentleman, urging
him to get the woman off to California
or New York, but by no means to allow
her to follow him to Chill.
After General Fitzpatrick left Panama
this woman turned out a most abaudon-
ed and prohigate wretch, and was COM
PEELED, on account of her bad conduct, to
leave the city and return to New York.
We can voueh for all these facts, and
prove them by as many certificates of
the Generals bad behavior as he or his
friends can desire. We regret to give
space in our columns to this expose, as
we always try to avoid personalities, but
Gen. Fitzpatrick is public man, and, as
we said before, he has dragged us un-
willingly into the discussion of his con-
duet whilst travelling in the capacity Of

BEAuTIFgL.-The finest thing George
y. Prentice ever wrote is this inimitable
passage:
1t cannot be that earth is mans only
abiding place. 1t cannot be that our
life is a bubble cast mp by the ocean CT
eternity to float 4 moment upon its
waves, and sink into nothingness. Else
why is it, the high and glorious aspira-
tons, which leap like angels from the
temple of our hearts are forever wander
ing unsatisfied? Why is it that the
rainbow and cloud come over Us witt. II
beatty that is not Of earth, and then
pass OF e 'eaVc lis to muse on their
loveliness:s Why is ii that the stars
which "fiosd their festival around the
midnight THRONE" are set above the
grasp Of oa. limited faculties; forever
nocEing Us with their unapproaehable
glory? And finally, why is that bright
forms Of human beauty arc presented to
our view and taken from Us; leaving the
Thousand streams oi our affection to
flow back in an Alpine torrent upon our
hearts" VIZ ar" born for higher desti-
ny than that OF earth. There is a realm
where the rainbow never fades; where
the stars Viii be spread out before us
like the Islands that slumber on the
ocean, end where the beautiful beings
which pass before us like shadows will
stay forever in our presence.

A correspondent Of the A,ma1ea des
Lald-mirNschGf states some interesting
experiments to test the use of salt in fat
tening swine. He selected two pairs OF
barrow hogs. weighing two hundred
pounds apiece. One pairreceived, with,
their daily allowance of food, two ounces:
of salt; the ether pair, similarly fed none.
In the course Of " week it was easily
seen that the salted pair had a much
stronger appetite than the others, and
after fortnight it was increased to two,
ounces apiece. After four months the
weight Of the salted hogs was $50 pounds
while that OF the unsalted five weeks
later, reached only three hundred pounds
The experiment was repeated with al
most the Same results. The author feed.
young pigs, according TO their age, q
quarter ofan ounce daily; breeding sows
very little during pregnacy, and during
the heat Of summer Nitholds it in 4

Madame: Your husband rendered great SER

The Benton, Illinois) Standard relates q
story of trial for murder, which ended in
romance and not in tragedy. A few weeks
since human skeleton was found in the
woods, about two miles east of Benton, by
Mr.. Benjamin Williams The jury of inquest
identified it as the remains of a young man
named Henry Mahorn, and implicated David
Williams, a son of Benjamin Williams, as the
murderer. The circumstances surrounding
the case We're strongly against the accused, as
the missing young man was last seen in this
community, about a year ago, in company
with Williams, on their way to enlist in the
army as substitutes. David Williams was
put on his trial, and the circumstantial evil
dence was strong against him; the skeleton
appeared, without doubt, to be that Of Ma
horn, by the clothing and absence of certain
teeth, and the supposed dead man had not
been heard of since he won't to join the army.
But while the case against Williams was pro-
crossing in its first stages, Mahorn appeared
in court in the enjoyment Of vigorous health.
He soon satisfied the astonished court, jury
and lawyers of his Identity and caused the
immediate release of the delighted prisoner
Mahorn explained that he had joined the ar
my under an assumed name, and in conse-
quence was unable to hold correspondence
with his friends; and being discharged but a
few days previous to the trial of the young
man Williams as his murderer, he fortunate
ly arrived in Benton the very day the trial
commend ed.

INCREDIBLE, BUT TRUE.-On yesterday, the
negro laborers employed in cleaning out the
ruins of the building occupied during the
war by the Confederate Post-Ofice Depart
nent, discovered that the coal in the coal cell
lar was still on fire. We were informed of
the fact on good authority, but the statement
seemed so remarkable that we made perso-
nal examination of the spot, and after view
ing the smoke and burning our fingers came
away completely cured of our skepticism.
That fire should shoulder in the ruins OF a
building burned more than ten months ago,
unqusnched by heavy rains or driving snowy
storms, seems little short of the marvellous,
but unbelievers can easily be convinced by
the simplest test of pertinent. -Richmond

RATES OF ADyERTTsINC,
pretty Waiter Girls in Richmond.

If reports are true, the enterprising Yankee
who introduced the pretty waiter girl novelty
into New York and other northern cities, and
so disguised them that laws were passed for
the prohibition of such attractions, is medita-
ting visit to Richmond, with complete and
magnificent corps of experienced damsels The
plan OF the individual is to open place for
popular resort with musical accomplishments,
and affording meals, snacks, liquors, cigars on
demand, at the hands of "pretty waiter girls,
who throw in smiles and caresses by way of
interest upon the investment of purchasers.
The desperate immortality of the scheme cannot
we'll be explained. AT present there is no law
to prohibit exhibitions of this kind as they are
so arranged by the managers, that no existing
law fer the suppression of vice can obtain d
hold upon them. We therefore recommend to
the General Assembly the immediate passage
of an act prohibiting such Innovations upon
public amusements under penalties common
surate with the merits of the case. This city
has already been the scene of such exhibitions
upon small scale, as our police reports have
shown. We are now threatened with the evil
in splendid form, and it is about time that
some steps were taken to squech the idea al
together, and prevent the greater evil from
taking refuge under the wings of the lesser
Richmond Enquirer.

but little conversation, however, was at any
time carried on, but from remarks dropped
from time to time, he appeared resigned to his
fate, whatever it may be.

General HOke,

As the gallant General Hoke, of North
Carolina, was lately travelling on the cars
from New York to Washington, on the seat in
front of him sat negro, and on that imme-
diately opposite two United States officers, one
a general.
Soon after leaving New York, Gen. Hoke
saw man, who was walking through the car,
pick up from the floor, near where the negro
sat, what he, at the time, supposed to be a
ticket, and when the conductor came around
and was told by the negro that he had lost
his ticket, but that he had bought and paid
for one, and that he had check for his bag
gage, the General was satisfied that the man
he had seen walking through the car had
found the negro's ticket, and so informed the
conductor, who accepted his statement, and
went on marking the checks of other passen-
gers.
A change of conductors takes place between
Washington and New York, and when the
second one, on his round, was told by the ne
gro that he had lost his ticket, he said that
was not his look out, and that the fare would
have to be paid. Gen. Hoke then stated to
him what be had told the first conductor, but
instead of receiving and crediting the Gener-
ais explanation, he, in a pert and impudent
manner remarked that neither black man NOR
white man should pass by him without pay
ing, and that the negro should pay Or be put
off. The General then rising from his seat,
and shaking his fore finger in front of the
conductors face, informed him, firmly and
deliberately, that for the past four years he
had been fighting for the negro, and that
though defeated he would not, even now, al
low one to be matreated in his presence; that
the negro had paid his fare, and should go
through The conductor skunk away, and
the negro came on to Washington.
