companying manual, containing correction
tables, &C., and has directed the use of the
caliper and head rod system of gauging, in
order to insure a correct and uniform sys-
tenn of inspecting and gauglng in the United

T. Prime, OF Baltimore-who will act uu-
der the instructions of the Commissioned in
this matter. These gentlemen will immedi-
ately commence the visitation of the several
districts assigned to them respectively, for
the purpose of instructing the general in
spectors of spirits and inspectors of coal

be furnished at the expense of the govern
ment only to general inspectors, and to
none of that class excepting such as are ac-
lively engaged in the performance of their
duties.

FUNNY NAMES FOB GIRLs.-A gentleman Of

New York some months since on ihs steamer

A WOMAN BECOMES INSANE WHILE
WIrNEssING A PLAY. -

few evenings since there was a dramati
performance given at Bellevue Hall, by th,
German Amateur Company of this city, il
which the celebrated German actor Schoen
from Toledo, sustained the character O.
"Percival, in the thrilling drama OF ''Grisel
dis, and Mrs. Cullen, of Cincinnati, per.
sonated "Griseldis." The plot of the play
is laid in Scotland, in its earliest days, and
during the reign Of King Athos. Percival
was Scottish noble, and it appears while
hunting near the castle he met the fair
Griseldis, poor coal burners daughter,
and, becoming enamored of her, married
her. Years after, at grand fete at which
the Queen GENEVA was present, she rated
Percival for having married low-born girl,
and asserted that such woman would not
prove constant to her husband.
A wager that he or she who should lose
should kneel at the feet of the woman was
made by the Queen. that the wife would
prove faithless and unconstant In adyersity
and temptation, and accepted by Percival.
The wife was sorely tried and tempted, her
child was taken from her, her husband con.
demned to be executed and herself treated
with disrespect and scorn. Through all
these trials the wife bore up proudly, always
manifesting unbounded love and confidence
in her husband, until ut last the Queen &C
knowledged she was in fault, and proclaimed
that Percival had won the wager. When it
was known to the wife that her husband was
privy to the prosecutions and an accomplice
Of the Queen, her love changed to dislike,
and they were estranged forever.
The play was very affecting, and many
eyes were wet in the audience at the conclu-
sion of the play. Among those present was
one newly made wife; she was perceptibly
affected at the performance, and remained
weeping in her seat after greater portion of
the audience had gone. Whether incidents
portrayed in the drama were prototypes of
her own sufferings, cannot be told, but Ger.
tain it is that when she was taken home,
reason had forsaken her, and she talked in.
coherently of her past life, of her frat hus-
band and adopted child, together with the
''Percival" and "Griseldis'' of the drama.
Several physicians have visited her, but
shake their heads thoughtfully as they pro. |
nounce it insanity.
The woman's history is we'll known in |
this city. For number of years she has
lived here as the wife of one of our German
citizens, but some weeks since separation
was effected, and about two weeks since she |
married another man. The poor woman is
thoroughly crazed; she will attend to none |
of her usual duties, nor even to her own |
comfort. The sad story of Griseldis, and
cruelty of Percival, as she saw them on the |
mimic stage, have apparently entirely driven |
away her reason.-Sagtna.O (Michigan) En-

A GEHHRArION OF PROsPERITY ExPEcrsD.-
The San Antonin (Tsxas) Express, speaking Of
dry seasons and crops, has the following;
There is'a tradition among the old settlers
Of this frontier that the seasons Of prosperity
in agriculture are periodical. According to the
tradition, there is ten years' drought out Of
every forty years. The section has just passed
through more than ten years Of unusual severe
drought. We are about to enter thirty years Of
prosperity. Our farmers should be setting. their
houses in order, fitting up their fences, prepare
tory to the fine crops to come"

LITTLE KINDHEssEs.-Small acts Of kindness !
how pleasant and desirable do they make life
Every dark object is made light by them. and
every tear Of sorrow is brushed away. When
the heart is sad, and dependency sits at the en-
trance Of the soul, kindness drives despair
away, and makes the path cheerful and pleasant.
Who will refuse kind act : 1t costs the giver
nothing, but is valuable to the sad and SORROW
ing 1t raises from misery and degradation,
and throws around the soul those hallowed joys
that were lost in Paradise.
