OFFICERS OF FAIR GROUND COMPANY;
An American "storyrby Dickens.

Charles Dickens presided on the
5th ultimo at the annual dinner of
the Railway Benevolent Institution
in London. From his speech we ex-
tract the following capitally told
story:
"Now, gentlemen, on this point of
the case there is story once told
me by friend of mine which seems
to my mind to have certain appli-
cation. My friend was an American
sea captain, and therefore it is
quite unnecessary to say his story
was quite true. Laughter. He
was the captain and part owner of a
large American merchant liner. On
a certain voyage out, in exquisite
summer weather, he had for cabin
passengers one beautiful young lady
and ten more or less beautiful young
gentlemen. Light winds or dead
calms prevailing, the voyage was
slow. They had made half their
distance when ten young gentlemen
were all madly in love with the beau
tiful young lady. They had all pro-
posed to her, and bloodshed among
the rivals seemed imminent pending
the young lady's decision. Laugh
ter. In this extremity the beauti-
ful young lady cenfided in my friend
the captain, who gave her discreet
advice. He said, If your affections
are disengaged take that one of the
young gentlemen whom you like the
best and settle the question:
Laughter. To this the beautiful
young lady made reply, i cannot do
that, because / like them all equally
WELL Laughter.
"My friend, who was q man of re-
source, hit upon this ingenious ex-
pedient. Said he, To morrow morn
ing when lunch is announced, do you
plunge bodily overheard, head fore
most. 1 will be alongside in boat
to pick you up; and take the one of
the ten who rushes to your rescue.
The beautiful young lady highly ap-
proved of this, and did accordingly.
But after she plunged in nine out of
the ten more or less beautiful young
gentlemen plunged in after her. The
tenth shed tears great laughter and
looked over the side of the vessel,
but remained on deck. They were
all picked up. When they all mus
tered dripping on the deck, and stood
there in limp row, the beautiful
young lady said to the captain
What am / to do new2 See what a
state they are in. How can posi-
bly, choose one of the nine when they
are all equally wet?' Then said my
friend, with a sudden inspiration,
My dear, take the dry one.' Loud
laughter. I am sorry to say she did,
and that they lived happy ever ST
ter"

~ Of the hopes of salvation :or
the country much talked of by the
Democracy, the Cincinnati CONNER
cial very truly says
Whenever we complain of any of
the follies Of the party in power, q
score of Democratic journals tell Us
that there is but one hope of sal
yation, and that in the old Demo-
cratic party. This is q stupidity
that has become wearisome aud is
getting exasperated. The Demo
cratic party was SO closely identified
with the rebellion, that it has not
the confidence of the people OF the
country-and by the people we mean
the masses of intelligent men VINO
have in their hands the polltical
power in the great states OF the
North. The people dread more the
Democratic party's return to power,
than auy other calamity. Take any
shane but that, is the exclamation
that sreets the Democratic party
It is Bourbon Democracy that gives
Radicalism license.

~ A serious riot occurred st
Franklin, Tenn, Saturday. John
Trimble, Union candidate for Con-
gress, and others, had been speak
ing, and the Colored Loyal League
had paraded. After the meeting
symptoms of ill-feeling between the
whites and loyal negroes developed.
The negroes were advised to be quiet
and disperse, and following this ad
wise they went to their armory, and
laid aside their regalia and arms
When they returned to the common
they were attacked with fire arms
and returned the fire. Several whites
and blacks were killed and others
wounded. The affair will be inves-
ti0ated.

POISONED ARRows.-A writer in
Harper's Magazine tells how the In
dians poison their arrows:
A rattlesnake is caught and penned.
He is made angry by being poked
with sticks, when piece of deer
liver is held toward him on the end
of a stick. Into this.he strikes his
fangs. The liver is then withdrawn,
and piece of dogwood about four
inches long, carefully sharpened, is
thrust into the incision made by the
fangs. The stick is, permitted to
dry for a short time, when it is dip
ped into glutinous solution, which,
drying, hermetically seals the poison
which would otherwise decompose.
This piece of dog wood is used at
the head of the arrow. To be
wounded with such an arrow is al
most certain death.

~ The Second Auditor of the
Treasury has decided that a certi6-
cate of indebtedness from the Gov
ernment to soldier is not liable to
be attached, nor is the attorney of
the soldier liable to be held as his
trustee or garnishee before the
money has been actually paid and
received by him upon it. The law
gives the attorney no lien upon it for
a pre-existing debt, nor even for his
fees for obtaining it. 1t can only be
paid upon the signature Of the soldier
and is of no value in the hands of
any other person except after he has
properly assigned it.

~ In Abyssinia, as is very well
known, the enraged king, whom
Queen Victoria refused for hus-
band, has, in retaliation, made priso-
ners of a British Consul and several
other Englishmen. The English
Government, it appears, is at loss
how to procure the release of these
prisoners. In the House of Lords
recently, in answer to a question
from LORD Radcliffe, the Earl Of
Derby stated that no reply had yet
been received to the last letters of
the English Government, urging the
immediate relief of the prisoners;
that, therefore, the presents which
had been sent, and the artisans who
had engaged TO visit the country as
condition of the release of the
prisoners, had not been forwarded;
but that it was not prudent to state
what further measures the Govern
ment intended to adopt. The Eng
lish Government is afraid of using
force, and knows of no other means
to effect the release of the captiYes.

FOR
NN@Mq I'M AMN MNaN.

4 TTENTION is respectfully called to
N the above mentioned Paint, and the
qualities upon which are based its claims to
superior advantages, established by the most
incontrovertible evidence as to fact, as al
ready fully demonstrated in this and neigh
boring cities by many of the largest Gas
Companies, Iron Establishments, Iron Safe
Manufacturers, Ship Builders, Painters, Su-
gar Refners, Carriage Manufacturers, Build
ers, Steamboat and Railroad Companies,
Roofers, etc.
1t consists of seventy-two parts Oxide of
Iron, aHd twenty eight parts Cement Lime
Stone, in the one hundred pounds.
The Ore from which this Paint is manu-
featured is from vein discovered in Carbon
County, Pa which is overlaid with by draulic
cement lime stone, through which the waters
of ages have percolated, and which in con-
nection with the Iron, gives to it the peculiar
property of withstanding heat and moisture,
which no other of the so-called metallic
paints possess.
1t has much more body than red or white
lead. 1t is warranted perfectly water and
fire proof, and to withstand a greater heat on
metals, without scaling, than any other paint
in use; hence it is unqqestiouably the
Best Coating ever applied on Steam
Pipes aamd Boilers,
Where it is prouen that epen Red Lead Will
not stand.
It is a perfect cover for shipe' bottoms, of
iron or wood; and all kinds of iron, tin,
brick or wood work, out-houses and canvass
coverings. Itprevents and arrests the corro-
sion of metals, and is not affected by the ac-
ton of salt, gases, acids or ammonia
Ithardens under water, as has been fully
demonstrated by its application to gas hold
ers, by many of the largest Gas companies in
the United States; which companies, have
thoroughly tested its properties as herein
claimed, pronounce in its favor over any 9TH
er paints in the market, even though sold at
double its price.
As a coating for patterns of iron or wood,
when mixed with shellac, it is much superior
to beeswax, oil. or shellac alone, as has been
proven at the largest foundries in the country.
For patching boilers and making Joints, 1T
is considered superior to red lead, or any 9TH
er preparation.
For cleaning metals 1t takes the place of
crocus, rouge and emery, being better and
cheaper.
This Paint requires no more oil than dry
lead or zinc, and much less than the ordina
ry mineral paints. 1t is free from any W aste,
and possesses spreading and covering pow
er unequaled.
All orders or communications, by mail or
otherwise, will receive prompt attention.
