SEWARD AND THE MEXICAN MIN1sTER.-The
vague rumors which have been in circulation
respecting the existence of an unpleasant
state of feeling between the State Department.
and Senior Romero are explained i'm the follow
ing dispatch to Forney's Press @a's 'Aio~ 70 9.
The anticipated departure of Senior Romero,
! the Mexican Minister to this government as
tensl6ly on leave of iabsence granted by Presi-
dent Juarez as a. recognition of his valuable
services during the past four years, is matter
OF more than ordinary comment in diplomatic
circles 1t is well known that Secretary Sew
ard has never treated Romero with the con-
slderatlon due to him as the representative, of
the only government on this continent with
which we should be in full accord and harmo-,
n.y. and that, while he has not sighted him
officially, he has in his personsal CAPACITY Civ
en- him good cause of complaint. 1t is. there
fore, probable that Mr.. Romero will not return
to the United States; but there is another and
more serious view OF his departure suggested
IN the same quarter, which is that he is merely
Obviating the ugly eonventionality of demand
ing his passports, which ministers do when
they leave an enemys country This sueges-
ton is prompted by the fact that Mr., Seward.
on several different occasions, has failed to
give the Senior satisfactory replies to INQUIRIES
regarding the organization of new rebellions
against the Liberals ON our soil by Orteoa.

HE CONCERT THIS EVENING. Ger
mania Band and Miss Adelaide Phillips will
appear at Deering Hall this evening, and give
Concert under the auspices of the Bowdoin
students. 1t promises to be first-class musi-
cal entertainment. This band is celebrated
for its artistic skill and its devotion to the art
and science of music. Long practice and fine
natural taste have made its members the
most accomplished instrumentalists we have
in the country. And Adelaide Phillips has
Worldwide reputation as a vocalist of extra
ordinary power. We all know and feel there's
beggary in the love that can be reckoped. !"
and it is equally true that there's begpary in
the music that can be fifty described in words
and its sweetest and choicest strains drawn
out along the "dull formality of types" The
echoes of the best music fingers in our hearts,
and the poverty of language is too great to
convey them to. others. All must hear for
themselves, and, if they have music in their
souls, the sweet strains of Adelaide's voice
will long be remembered Such music is NOT
merely for the evening in which it is heard
but for all time, and its refining effects will
never be lost. $500 ast s2E suIis
We trust and believe large audience will
greet the fair vocalist this evening, and give
the Germania Band an enthusiastic recention
The doors are open at 71-2 and the Concert

A SHOCKING TRAGEDY.-The New Bedford
Standard of Tuesday afternoon gives the fol-
lowing account of a tragic affair which occur

James Adams, porter, cut the throat of his
wife, Elizabeth 9. Adams, this morning, at the
residence of her father, Mr.. VIM. n Green

shot himself with pistol directly through the
heart, and of course died at once.
The parties were married ON the Dist of Nav

honeymoon was soon blighted by domestic diff
iculties, and the new y-nlade wife soon ref,ls-
ed to live with her husband, but was persuad-
ed by him to return, only to leave him again
and again. Adams love for his wife was yery
strong, and he seemed to be perfectly miser-
able when she was away from home. t5ih
Mrs. Adams injuries are not of a serious
character. She states that he came to the
house where she was soon after eleven o'clock
and as he brought new pair of shoes for her
she let him in. He then asked her if she would
live with him, and on replying in the negative
he said, do you remember that L told YOU
that it you would not live with me, we should
both be buried in the same grave?" She re-
piled that she did remember it, and he imme-
diately cut her throat, but it was done so quick
ly that she does not know with what. A few
minutes afterward Adams came running to
his house, and the occupants of another tene-
ment soon heard the repertof'a pistol, follow
ed by three groans, but he was dead before
