in hamlet near fossnitz, had wife and two
children, and such was the woman's terror of
the Prussians, when she heard they were COM

her in an underground cellar, with her two
little ones, and built up the doorway, lea wing
some food inside. The Prussians entered the
place, and, among others, obliged this poor
man to accompany them, with his horse and

the man was brought on from place to p lace,

his wife and children; and, horror stricken at
the dreadful thought that their cries might
not be heard, his hair is said to have turned

however, we analyse the words we use
we find them conveying hardly any meaning

no more real substance than the above quoted

aminer.
Many are persons Of the opinion that Wilkes
Booth still lives Let me give your readers
a piece of information that recently came in
to my possession, and which has never been
printed. On the evening of President Lin
coins assassination young lady in Washing
ton who was playing at Ford's Theater, was
on her way to the theater. As she was wal
king along the street at 4 o'clock, she met
Wilkes Booth on the sidewalk. They had
been well ,cquainted for several years, and
were on intimate terms. They stood awhile
and chatted The girl told Booth she had
received an anonymous letter that day that
was quite amusing. Booth asked her to let
him take it and he would hand it TO her at
another time She gave him the letter and
and hurried on to the theater. That night
she was Mortified to learn that Wilkes Booth
had assassinated President Lincola in the
very theater where she was playing. The
poor girl was frightened out of her wits for
several days, fearing that some one had seen
her give Wilkes Booth the paper so short a
time before the assassination Sc time pass
ed on, and the actress went to her home in
Philadelphia. About FIVE weeks since that
young woman received back again, through
the Post Office, the very letter she put into
the hands of Wilkes Booth on the night Of
the assassination. There is private mark
on ii, too, that makes her positive that Wilkes
Booth sent it These are facts, and the actress
is now playing at the Chicago theaters. The
story is a strange one, to say the least of it,

The Poughkeepsie Press is responsible for
the following lesson on character, learned af-
ter long and diligent observation. It says
The following is from man who tsloved
not wisely, but too WE'LL" and got married.
The way to judge of woman character at
first sight, is to ascertain the color of her
petit coat. A black tticoat indicates low
spirits, a hatred of washtubs, and activity,
and taste for dyspeptic literature and quiet
wide. A lady who wears black petticoat
could no moro read and understand this
paragraph tina she could suck up the At
lantic with a three cent syringe, A white
petticoat shows character just the opposite,
an unsullied mind and taste for romance -
A woman who takes naturally to white
petticoats, and Fever wears any other is an
institution to which young gentlemen of con-
nubial proclivties should lose no time in
paying due attention. The red petticoat
however, is something of which manhood
should beware; it is the insignia of Xantippes
"a style Of females who cut their toe nails
with their husbands razors. '.i'ii5

TEE MARKETs.-The fish season is passir g
away. The fish which are now brought to
market are generally misunderstanding of
trout, taylors or blue fish, and small spots.
The fnny tribe are thu, giving way to the
bivalves, which, however, are not yet as fat
as they will be as the season advances. The
close of the fish season increases the expense
of living, upon the poor, and indeed on all
classes. Meat is very much higher, costing
double the amount required in the fish sea-
son. .I4
In vegetables and poultry the markets of
both Norfolk and Portsmouth abound. There
was on some Of the stalls i'll Portsmouth this
morning, some fine beef and mutton.

The Russian Tea Trade.

\ correspondent of the New York Tribune
writes from Russia:
The overland tea trade which centres in Nj
JIM is still very great. AT one side Of the
separate city, which is formed by the fair,
scattered over a great space, which looks more
like a suburban cattle yard emptied of its
beasts, than any thing else, you may see great
rows Of packages in raw cowhides with the
hair inside, sheltered from the weather and
sky only by few layers Of mating. In the
mud or dust between these rows, stumbling
over blocks and boards and waste material,
the merchants Of the East aud West meet
each other and transact business in tea,
amounting to several million dollars worth in
month. If you want to see package Of
any sample the merchant runs. an iron
augur through the skin, Of which the hair in
side, Immediately closes the aperture, again
fetching cut specimen from every side, to
convince you that there is no chat there.
Brick tea is dreadfully coarse stuff, press
ed into brick form, which is bought by the
Kirghis and Kalmucks of the steps.
Yellow tea is yellowish in the leaf, and yell
low as drank. with characteristic snuff
which is precisely like hay.
These are the two kinds which do not find
their way into the European and American
markets. The latter is delicious. case of
it, worth five or six hundred dollars, was pre-
sented to Mr.. Fox.
Tea is drank at morning, noon and night
in Russia, and the Americans are all in love
with it, 1t seems to me better than that
which is commonly drank in the States.

The Picayune and the Amendment
Again.

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger again writes as follows
on Tuesday:
That had ample warrant for the positive
manner in which l denied the reiterated
charge that the New Orleans Picayuue had
come out in favor of the Constitutional
Amendment, you will see by the annexed tel
egram which has since reached me:
Office OF the Picayune,
New Orleans, October 9, 1866.
The statement in the New Orleans special
telegram, published in the New York Herald
of ID instant, to the effect that the Picayune
had changed ed itors and would support the
constitutional amendment of Congress, is false
throughout the Pcayune has not changed
editors, nor is it giving support to the coasti-
tutional amendment The Picayune is tho
roughly devoted to the restoration of the
Union, and supports the policy of President
johnson as the best and safest means of secur
ing that end.
