A correspondent Of the Clarion,
writing from the 81. Cloud Hotel, in
Nashville, says:
Before I close this communication,
j cannot refrain from saying a few
words in commentator OF this ex-
ccllent and most elegantly furnished
hotel. The proprietor, Col. J. II.
Winbourn, Is the right man In the
right place, and ! was glad to see on
his register that many names from
Mississippi were TO be found; and
among the rest, it gave me great
pleasure 10 meet my old friend and
army associate, Major l.. 7. Cooper,
Of Pamela county, Miss, and to find
him In such excellent health. Ii
brought to mind many scenes which
occurred In our marches through The
sand-hills Of North Carolina and the
valleys Of Virginia. May bis shad-
ow never grow less, and may his peo-
pie honor him with their highest
confidence In the future, as they have
done In the past, is my sincere desire.

The Cincinnati Commercial, in no.
ticing the quarrel between Bingham
and Butler, says:
Bingham is a more polished orator
than Butler-uses long ornate sen
tences, and delivers them with grace
and power. He speaks like a full
man, and his long sentences hang
well together. Butler is abrupt,
sharp, rasping, and his voice is shrill
and penetrating as the bark Of
prairie wolf. The assurance Of But
Ter is seen in his audacity in taking
Bingham to task as Democrat, and
accusing him of being in spirit as
well rs body, on the Democratic side
of the House. Bingham is an old
Abolitionist, and was fighting the
battles of anti-slavery while Butler
was apologizing for "poor old Mas
sachusctts," and making abrasive
outcry in Charleston. "Massaehu-
sctts casts one vote for jefferson Da-
Wis, Of Mississippi"

NO IEETii.-A correspondent OF
the Cairo Times writing from jack
sonville, Tenn, records the following
ludicrous incident:
The train from Mobile brought up
several barrels Of shell oysters. A
number of country negroes stood by,
aud having never seen oysters before,
were somewhat astonished at the ap-
pearance Of the bivalves.
"Whar he mouf?" exclaimed one
OF the most inquisitive. "How UNI
eat, eb? Gollyl / links um muffin
'cept bone. Yah, yahl" he con-
tinued, laughing at his own wit; 81
spec some white man thinks nigga a
fool when he calls dat thing ishtcr."
Just then he discovered an open
oyster, and seizing it, eyed Il closely.
Not satisfied with 'he examination,
he placed il to his nose; but no SOON
or was that organ inserted between
the shells than they closed. Niger
howled with pain, aud called out /;
"Pull um OIL Pull um Off! But
the more the oyster was pulled, the
moro il would not let 90, and as poor
Cuflee danced and yelled, his frantic
efforts to rid himself Of bis uncom-
Portable nasal ornament we're both
ludicrous and painful.
"IIit um wild a stick" suggested a
buxom wcnch, and in a moment the
oyster was knocked right and leit with
a hearty will-but CuGee's head went
with il.
"Pinch he tail,' cried little mig,
and he sure lcggo.
But there was no tail to pinch, and
poor Cniicc was doomed TO wear the
oyster forever. At this moment an
intelligent contraband whipped out a
knife and with Il soon severed the
oyster. Cufiee looked at the shell
with amaxement, and finding th,
oyster too,hless, threw Il away will
the remark: "Um got no teef, bul
he gum like de devil.n

Return OF a ProdIgal Daughter.

A few evenings since young lady,
who was apparently in destitute cir
cumstances, aud consequently great
distress Of mind, crossed The river At
Bcnwood, en- route for her home,
which, she said, was near Winehes-
ter, Va. She declined giving her
name, as she said her parents were
highly respectable. II seems that
some three or four months ago she
commenced corresponding with .
young man in Tennessee, photographs
were exchanged, and soon the couple
we're engaged. She agreed 10 meet
her lover In Nashville, and clandes-
timely lcff her homo for that purpose.
When she left home she thought she
had ample funds, which she had Ia
ken from her iatber'srpm. BY some
detention oa the raiIfnd, she reached
Nashville day later than expected,
and in this way she accounts for her
lover failing TO meet her al the hotel,
as agreed. She remained At the ho-
tel until her money was exhausted
and her clothing pawncl for boarsi-
ing, and then concluded TO remove to
some more eongenisI quarters. She
finally concluded 10 return home, but
vowed to not let her parents know
where she was or had bern until she
saw them. She stated her cireun-
stances 10 railroad officials, Obtained
letter from one Of them, and wss
kindly passed over the various rusds
free Of charge. She lei1 over the
Baltimore and Ohio road ior Har-
per's Ferry. She Is "a young lady
about eighteen yean Of age, rather
good looking, and very talkstive:
We think Il will be some time before
she ventures on another trip such ~
she has Just taken.
