Mas. SURRArr's HOUSE, HAUSTKD.-There is
a three story brick tenement, in the middle of a
block, fronting upon one of Washington's lesser
thoroughfares, that is making itself peculiarly
obnoxious to timid people, and ridiculous among
the stouter hearted. The buildiag in question
ia none other than that belonging to Mrs. Sur
raft, executed as one of the conspirators of the
assassination, and in which she was apprehend-
ed and led forth for execution and the gallows
In the course of settlement of her estate, the
house in question was offered for sale, and even
then the public 5eemed shy and iadiGerent TO
the purchase, and so it came that property,
worth by moderate comparison, $40, 900, fell
under the hammer at the Insignificant sum of
81, 900. The new landlord, therefore, instituted
such improvements as completely changed the
aspect of the property, and all but transferred
its site, and in the course Of time came tenant;
but not to remain. In less thAa six weeks the
lessee had flown from beneath the roof. forfeited
his years rental, and was ready to Pwear, with
chattering teeth, that his nervous system was
shattered for life time Others succeeded to
the occupancy of the house he had vacated, in
turn to make a shuddering exit Mrs. Surrau's
house is haunted. There can be no reasonable
doubt upon the subject. She herself persists in
treading the halls and Psramb mbulAting the prem
ises, in the dead ofnight clad ia those self-same
robes of serge in which she suffered the penalty
of the law. In costume she differs from the
woman in white unmiStakably, but that the
general effect is none the less thrilliug, and al
together fatal to the composure Of the behol-
der, is positively asserted by each successive
occupant of the mansion. People who reside
within adjoining walls are not troubled with
either sights or sounds, but they begin to have q
wholesome dread Of the mansion in their midst,
and have actually procured reduction Of their
rental upon the ground of exposure to an una
batabIe nuisance. Thus the whole Of very
commouplace neighborhood is infected with 9
fancy that keeps them within doors Of nights,
and causes the local Juveniles 10 abandon their
games in the courtyard with the sinking Of the
Bostoa Posf.

TIE CREDIroR's STRArAGEX.-Four creditors
started from Boston in the same train of cars
for the purpose of attching ths property of
certain debtor in Pennington, in the State oil
Maine. He owed each one separately, aud they
each one were suspicious Of the object OF the
other but dared not say word about 1t. so
they rode, acquaintauces, all talking upon eve
rvthiRg except that they had most at heart.
When they arrived at the depot at Pennington,
which was three miles from where the debtor
aid business, they found nothing to "put 'em
over the road" but solitary cab, toward which
they allrushed. Three got in and refused ad-
mittauce to the fourth and the cab started. The
fourth ran after, and got up outside with the
driver. He asked the driver if he wanted to
sell his horse. He replied that he did not want
to-that he was not worth more than $50, but
he would not sell him for that. He asked him
if he would take SlOO for him. Yes, said he.
The fourth man quickly paid over the money,
took the reins and backed the cab up to bank,
slipped it from the harness, and tipped it up so
that the door could not be opened, and then
Jumped upon the horse back AMI rode of lic&>

MORE MEXICAN ExPERIEScE. - a gentlemen
named Malcolm has returned from Mexico, and
his experience" as they say at the Methodist
reyivals has been given to the Crescent. He is
a sensible man, for be has formed very correct
conclusions on a subject which has divided opin-
ions among the very intelligent The Mexican
is not "man and a brother" He is a totally
different creature from American.
His nature is almost the reverse of what is
considered the ordinary standard of human
qualities with us. Mexican houses alone a
sufficient proof of this, for they are barcaded
from without with iron bars their windows are
small and made to prevent thefts their furni-
ture is heavy and almost always capable of iden-
tifcation their yaluabes never left in sight.
The people provide against thieves in every pos
sible way, because they know that thieving is a
natural failing. They are as jealous as Turks,
deceitful as mules, and tickle AS the wind. They
have no confidence in anything, and are almost
incapable Of appreciating the sentiment of graf
Itude. They have recently become more deS
moraliZed than ever, tor they have lost that rev.
erence for the church, which was the only trait
that prevented them from committing all the
sins their nature or their training inclined them
to perpetrate. We speak of the men, for the
women of Mexico, like the women everywhere,
have the only virtue there is in the country.
The Mexican, as a man, is probably the lowest
specimen of moral testimony than can be pro-
duced to prove the equality of this human race.
Three fourths of the American people believe
that the Liberal party in Mexico are patriots,
and that our friendship for them is accepted
with gratitude, when the real facts are that the
Mexican Liberal is half bravo and seven eighthS
thief-Nep Orleans Picdyune.

WOMEN IN THE BIBLE.-The Bible is the book
of women. 1t is the only book which has come
down from the misty ages of antiquity that pre-
seats us with women as the equal and meet for
maa- From Eve, the mother of all living to
Mary, the mother of Jesus, women always oc-
cupies q conspicuous place in the grand drama
Of the worlds history. Here she is seen as
wife aud mother, filing her mission with shrink
ing uodesty and gentle frmness. Miriam and
Deborah, Rebeeca aad Ruth, Sarah and Esther,
shine forth in characters at once original, con-
sistent, unique and feminine. On still brigh-
ter canvas, and in still brigher colors, drawn
the characters of the Marthas, Marys and Lydias
of the New Testament. Here they are, as they
ought to be, and here they will remain forever.
Not forward, not departing from her sphere, not
immodest, not masculine. They shine, not like
the sun, but with radiance AZ mild and gentle
as the light Of the evening star.

AsoxYMoUs JoURALIsX.-Whst was recently
said in lecture by Dean Afford, at Manchester,
England, of the irresponsible character of the
newspaper press is literally true. His subject
was "True and False Guides and the newspa-
pers, he asserted, were false guides. He placed
newspaper writers next after the ritualists in his
category of misleading influences; indeed, be did
not know that they were not the more mischiev-
Gus Of the two. Under the shield of anonymous,
be said, men were at present misleading public
opinion, who, if their names were attached to
their articles, would be received with shouts of
derisinn. We had, in fact, fallen into the very
worst phase of democracy, the great danger was
that it would place power in unfit and irrespon-
sible hands; bat this was exactly what we suf.
fered from anonymous journalism. No man was
safe; the newspapers coIld write any man up or
down in a week; the best character might be ta-
ken away in a round of paragraphs; and the on.
ly protection the public had against such assaiI-
ants was their mutual hostility toward each 9th
er. If they could only agree upon the point to
be attacked they would ruin any one. Hewspa-
pers were, in short, totally unworthy to be follow
ed as guides; bad in politics, but worse, far
worse, in religion; for when arguing the latter
they laid it down as their first postulate that
all who disagreed with them were not mistaken
opponents but absolutely bad men.
