CURIOUS CAsE.-Some time ago, VIM.
Grady was hung at Elizabeth, New Jersey,
for the murder of Fergus Collins on the Goth
of August, 1854. Itappears that Grady had
previously been in the army, and, after the
murder, which was perpetrated while Grady
was drunk, he enlisted second time in the
Both New Jersey volunteers, which was as
signed to Sherman's column, just before il
proceeded on the grand march to the sea
shore. While the army in question was
moving between the Ashley and Cooper
Rivers, Grady became separated from his
company, and suddenly sank very low into
the mud Of a treacherous morass While in
this situation, without any prospect of getting
out of it, with every evidence of dying there,
he made solemn declaration to God, that
if he ever did get out he would make clean
breast of all he knew in the case of the Col
Inns murder Fortunately a straggler be-
longing to Massachusetts regiment came
along and helped him out of his perilous
situation. On arriving at Goldsboro, N. c.,
Grady made a statement to the military off,
GERS there, who caused him to be arrested
and held in close custody. Thereafter he
was given over to the civil authorities of
New Jersey, and tried, convicted, and SEN
fenced to death for the murder OF Collins.
Every effort was made for a commutation OF
his sentence without avail, and Grady was
hung, as above stated, protesting with his
last breath that he was entirely innocent of
the crime for which he had been condemned
to suffer.

EXPENSIVE Young GENTLEMEN.-Th
Court Journal says of the Prince of Wales
that he is in needy circumstances, in conse-
quence of the increased duties deyolving on
him since the Queen was called into retire
ment by domestic affliction. His gross in
come does not much exceed five hundred
thousand dollars per annum, including the
receipts from the Duchy of Cornwall, a Par
liamentary grant, (Which, when approved
some people were foolish enough TO believe
adequate and the rents of the Sandringham
estate. There are few other trifling amounts
within reach, of which, perhaps, the largest
is fifty thousand dollars pin money voted to
the princess, but nothing worthy of mention
Now, it is absolutely necessary that the
prince should keep up a good exterior, in
order to escape invidious remark. The or
dinary hospitality'of n high social position
must be dispensed, to say nothing of kid
gloves, embroidered neck-ties, etc. All this
disposes of good deal of money, as the
young men the world over can very readily
testify And yet there are some old fash
ioned people in England, commonly de-
nominated "old fogies " or " fossils" =" who
say the wants of the imperial scions are un-
reasonable, and that one hundred thousand
pounds sterling ought to be satisfactory
They think an heir TO the throne does not
properly attempt, and is not expected to vie
with the actual incumbent. The latter class,
however, are probably in minority, and
will be voted down.

A NATURAL CURIOSITY INeENIoUsLY
TURNED TO USEFUL ACCOUNT. On the
South Fanellone Islands, on the coast oil
California, is remarkable subterranean
passage, connected with rocky gulch, open
to the ocean. Through this passage the
waves of the sea force tho air with much
violence, and an observation of the peculiar
character of the wind current some year ago
induced Col. Bache, of the Engineer Corps
U. S. Army, to undertake to arrange a fog
whistle which would give an alarm to un-
lucky mariners approaching the place. This
he succeeded in doing, and the wind instru-
ment performed at nearly all times, but with
different degrees of force-sometimes 'piano
passages" and at others fortissimo ones.
About the time of low water, when the
waves do not enter the gulch, it would cease
for about two hours, when its shrill music
would begin again. The force of the wind
in stormy weather is so great that the first
whistle erected by Col. B. was carried away,
and he subsequently constructed one Of a
disk of iron perforated with hole six inches
in diameter. This was securely fastened by
heavy bolts to the solid rock, and it proved
entirely successful. Wind and water in
their mildest moods may be turned to use
ful accountwhen genius and skill are brought
to bear upon them, and we do not know a
more curious illustration of the great re-
sources of a cultivated mind than is found in
making the violent operations of nature give
warming tn their victims of tho dangpre tha,,
are about TO encounter, Patio. News.

A SOUTH CAROLINA ROMEO AND JULIET.
Mr.. Brown, the Columbia, S. c., correspon.
dent of the Cincinnati Commercial writes:-
ut appears that true love has been revived
in this State, from the following narrative,
communicated by an acquaintance whom ]
knew in the Army of the Southwest. Early
in the struggle, young lawyer entered the
rebel service from this town, and obtained q
Captains commission, deferIing an engage.
ment of marriage with young woman Of
high social position and broad acres of cot.
ton, (dis-associated from any other in her
toilette,) until the contest had terminated.
The loving twain agreed, if one should die
before the other, the survivor should follow
to the tomb, and they made such promises
as did the fair Imogene to Alonzo the Brave.
AT the battle of Five Forks, in Virginia, the
Captain was killed, and the sad news being
communicated TO his mistress, she made her
will, and prepared for death, though care
fully concealing her determination from her
relatives. A few weeks after the fall of the
young officer, the morning following the
afternoon of his funeral, which she attended,
pale and fearless as a statue, she was found
dead in her bed. Her parents said she had
expired of congestion of the brain, but a
note left by their daughter informed them OF
her intention TO commit suicide, which she
did with hydrocyanic acid; and, as the SEN
timento-religious rhapsodists would have us
believe, Joined her love in a realm of happi.
ness, where the amaranth of affection forever
blooms.

CARE OF THE LITTLE ONES.

Mother, watch the little feet
Climbing DER the garden wall,
Bounding through the busy street.
Ranging cellar, shed and hall;
Never mind the moments lost;
Never mind the time il cost;
Little feet will so astray;
Guide them, mother, while you may
Mother watch the little band
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay;
Never dare the question ask,
"Why to me the weary task ?"
These same little hands may prove
Messengers OF light and love
Mother watch the little tongue,
Prating eloquent and wild;
What is said and what is sung
By the joyous, happy child;
Catch the word while yet unspokcn,
Stop the VOW before tits broken;
This same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings in the Saviour's name.
Motherl watch the little heart,
Beating soft and warm for you;
Wholesome lessons now imparl;
Keep, o keep that young heart truel
Extricating every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed;
Harvest rich you then may see
Ripen for eternity.

A GORGEOUS DREss.-The Princess Rim
ski Korsakod has made a sensation Many
people never heard of her before; but she is,
nevertheless, the wife of Prince KorsakofT,
who is probably of Russian afflnities. He is
certainly very fond OF having his wife make
a gorgeous display, and therefore, sent her
dress costing two million francs-equal to
about $4OO, 900 in gold-in which she appear
ed at the grand fancy ball recently given by
Napolcohs Minister of State, NJ. Drouyn de
l'Huys This fabulous dress enabled her
to personate Catharine the Great Empress
OF Russia, it having been carefully elaborated
after aportrait ofthe Empress now preserved
at the Winter Palace The skirt was of
blue velvet embroidered with silver, and
trimmed with the fur otthe Siberian martins
The train was only three yards in length
rather short for such an enormous outlay
And this glorious robing was enveloped in
veil of old Venetian lace, which descended
from the cap. As a tribute to this great
display, and the exquisite personal beauty of
the Princess, the three thousand guests
who were present, and packed away like
sardinos in Madame Drouyn de rHuys
saloons, gave way for her, and she was thus
enabled to do what no one else could do-to
pass from room TO room without inconven-
ienes,

ORIGIN OF THE SISTERS OF
CHARITY.

The origin of that charitable association of
worldwide fame, styled "The Sisters of
Charity" whose signal services during the
war to sick, wounded, and dying soldiers,
in hospitals and on battle-felds, as well as
their constant ministrations to the sick and
suffering poor throughout the land, in times
OF peace, have won for them the profoundest
respect of all classes and rank of society, is
thus described in a religious journal:
About the year 1572, in town of France,
called Chantillon, there existed an humble
rural pastor, Vincent de Paul, who has since
justly deserved the title of benefactor of his
race. 1t happened that during his ministry
serious case of distress came under his
notice.
The good man recommended from the pull
pit, to the charity of his congregation, poor
family in the neighborhood. AT the conclu-
sion of divine service, moved by his appeals,
members went forth to assist the distressed
ones Some brought bread, others meat,
others again vegetables. After vespers, or
evening service, the pastor himself fproceeded
to the home of poverty, and on his way met
a crowd of his parishioners returning from
the scene of misery. When he arrived at
the abode of distress, behold said he, IAN
abundant supply of everything for this poor
family. But there is no order or judgment
displayed in all this profusion OF charity.
The most of these provisions will spoil, and
the poor people, the object of this benevo-
lence, will be as badly of as ever The
happy thought occurred to him to form
charitable society, whose members should be
speedily trained to manage the interests Of
the poor in a judicious, economical way.
Pious ladies of the first families in the land
soon offered their valuable services, and
went to work, according to the rule drawn
by this man of God, and approved by the
spiritual authorities. This was the founda-
ton of that charitable association, whose
noble services have been SO well known to
history for more than two hundred years.

PUTTING Your FoOT IN IT.-This phrase
has purely Legitimate, if not practical
origin. A very curious mode of trying the
title of land is practiced in Hindoostan. Two
holes are dug in the disputed spot, in each
of which the lawyers on either side put one
of their legs, and remain there until one Of
them is tired, or complains of being stung
by insects-in which case his client is de-
feated' Hence the origin OF the phrase.
