A Proud MAN.-Diferent men have dif>
ferent modes of eviucing their manly pride,
says the Virginia Trespass. This observa'
tion, entirely new with the undersigned,
though not on its first appearance just
now, was called to mind in the case of an
athletic citizen the head of a respectable
family, who had been absent from home some
three weeks. He returned to find his corner
in fact, all his corners-in the things he
loved, in occupation of another, if not a bet
ter man. He complained to a friend he
had got home in the night; had latch keyed
in, and had seen things iH that state of case
which precludes mistakes. He asked his
friends advice. "Come along, and we'll
soon settle the matter-here's pistol; come
with me p said his friend. "Well, Just hold
on little" said the burly, much injured
man. "Look here! lfJulia was alone, I'd
be willing to go with you in a miOute-aDd
talk the matter overland see if she wasn't
willing to call it all right, and commence as
if nothing had happened but l tell you IN

er man in my domicil, I'll not 60 near 1t !

TIE OTHER WORLD.
By ms. lAanIrr Br.cuEn srOwE.


1t lies around US like a cloud,
A world we caunot see;
Yet the sweet closing of an eye
May bring US there to be.
Its gentle breezes fan our cheek
Amid our worldly cares
Its gentle voices whisper love,
And miugle with our prayers.
Sweet Iearts around US throb and beat,
Swea helping hands are stirred,
And paipitates the veil between
ss,zSz.,h -r~. fSiess almoe. heard.
The silence, awful, sweet and calm,
They have no power to break;
For mortal words>are not for them
To utter or partake>
So thin, so soft, so sweet they glide,
So near to press they seem,
They lull US gently to our rest,
They melt into our dream.
And 10 the hush Of/rest they bring,
'Tis easy now to see
How lovely and bow sweet pass
The hour of/death may be.
Wrapped in trance of bliss,
And gently drown in loving arms,
To swoon from that to this
Scarce knowing if we wake or sleep,
Scarce asking where we are,
To feel all evil sink away,
All sorrow and all care.
Sweet souls around US watch us still:
Press nearer to our side;
Into our thoughts, into our prayers, =
With gentle helping glide.
Let death between us be as naught,
A dried and vanished stream;
Your joy be the reality,
Our suffering life the dream.

A FEARFUL SCAFToLD SCENE-A horri-
bic scaifold seeoe occurred the other day in
The prison yard Of Jauer. in Siesia. A young
woman, not of the lowest class of the popu.
lation, was TO be beheaded for gratifying her
jealousy of her former lover by an act that
had led to the death of several persons. The
faithless man had deserted her and married
another girl. The deserted mistress, to re-
venge herself, set fire to his house, and sew
eral persons persisted in the flames. She
was arrested, convicted and sentenced to
death. On the scafFoId, just at the moment
when the executioner barred her neck and
was about to fasten her to the fatal block,
she broke loose from him and his assistants,
seized the large axe that was to cut off her
head, and then deied the dumbfounded off,
GERS to take her. They rushed upon her.
showered blows upon her head, and finally,
after she had slightly wounded some of them
in the scuffle, she was knocked down and
hsndcuffed She uttered wild and terrible
screams all the while, and the excutioDer
and his men tried to dispatch her as quickly
as possible-they tore her dress from her
shoulders, tied her feet and dragged her 10
the block. Although she still resisted to
the best of her power, the leathern strap on
the block. by which the head of the vic>
tim is drawn forward, was soon slipped over
it, aud the execntioner seized the axe. Un-
fortunately, the dreadful scene had made
him quite nervous, and on striking he emissed
her neck, and cut deeply into her shoulder
and back. The blood rushed from the fear
full wound, and the screams of the unfortu-
nate woman grew heart-rending beyond de-
scription. A second blow, dealt few Sec
oDds afterward, finally put a stop to her
sufferings

COMBINATIONS IN FAVOR OF THE NORTHERN Pa
cIFIc RAIRoAD.-lt appears from articles pub
lished in Eastern journals that u combinations of
influence is at work to secure the aid wanted
for the projected Pacific Railroad. There are iu>
dications that the Northern and Southern lines
may unite their forces for the purpose of getting
their bills through Congress. The members
from New England, New York and the Lake dis.
tricts will favor the Northern Pacific while AS
it is believed the members from Tennessee, Mis-.
souri, aud the other more Southern States as far
as the latter are admitted, will favor the North>
ern road for the sake Of getting the help of the
friends of that project for the Southern Pacific
line. combination Of this kind would be very
powerful, and there could hardly be a doubt of
its sIccess.
In discussing the subject of government aid
for tue Northern Railroad, a st. Paul, Minnesota,
paper mentions a scheme which it thinks would
be likely to concentrate important influences in
favor of that line. This scheme is the extension
u tire 5IUUX ciJy brHuCn or me UuTou FacIhe
Railroad from point some seventy~ive miles
west of Omaha, northeast by way of Sioux CITY,
Mankato, the Minnesota River Valley and St,
Paul to the head of Lake Superior, and another
southeastern branch diverging from the Union
Pacific at the Tooth degree of longitude, and
running to Fort Smith, in Arkansas and Mems
phis, in Tennessee, these extensions to be based
on the same financial scheme as theSUnion Pa.
ci6c. bill for this purpose was introduced
into the House nearly at the close of the
Both session. The distance from ;he point
of departure on the Union Pacific to the head of
Lake Superior is 600 miles and the route is al
most an air line. From the same pointto Chica>
go is about $50 miles. The Southeastern branch
would satisfy the Southern interest and the
great Union Pacific interest would be enlisted in
the support of a scheme which would make both
the Northern belt and Southern belt largely
tributary to it, and, also, by combining with
these elements the Northern Pacific Railroad
would be tolerably certain of obtaining the gov
ernuent all which it desires. 1t is admitted
that the Northern Pacific Company, as at pres,
eut organized is the strongest, perhaps the very
strongest, in the country. Ten of the principal
railroads connecting with northern cities were
represented in its organization, and it must
gradually draw in other interests to its support
as it proceeds with its work. The route by which
it is to reach its western terminus will soon be,
come very interesting question for ourselves
and our neigbors; but whether it is to follow the
Columbia River through the Cascade noun tain 5
or cross that range some further distance to the
north, it will hardly be disputed that the Co.
lumbia River pass forms>the easiest route by
which tide water can be reached by rail cars
coming from beyond the mountains.

KISSING BABIES The highest achieve.
ment Of a politician is the kissing of babies.
It goes straight to the mothers heart and

CoURTsHIP AND LovE.-ln the new play "Un-
der the Gaslght," the heroine gives utterancs
to the following: "Courtship is the only text
from which the whole solemn sermon of mars
ried life takes its theme. As lovers are Giscon-
tented and unhappy so'will they be as wives and
husbands. SO AS you would be happy all the
years of yeur life, listen to the voice advising
you Let the woman you look upon be wise or
vain, beautiful or homely, rich or poor, she has
but one thing which she can really give or re,
fuse-her heart Her lea1ty, her wit, her ace
complishments she may sell to you-but her
love is the treasure without money aud without
price She only asks 10 return that when YOU
look upon her your eyes shal! speak mute de-
votion, that when you address her your voice
shall be gentle loving and kind. That you shall
not despise her because she cannot understand
all at once your vigorous thoughts and ambis
tious designs-fOr when misfortune and evil
have defeated your greatest purposes, her lore
remains to console you Ynn look to the trees
for strength and grandeur-do not despise the
flowers because their fragrance is all they have
to give. Remember, love is all a woman has to
give. but it is the only earthly thing that God
permits US to carry beyond the grave"

LAST Hours OF SENATOR McDoUGALL - The
Albany Journal, of September Sd, thus describes
the death bed of Senator McDougall ain this
city, at No. IL Park street, died James A. Nc
Dougall, formerly Senator of the United States
from the State OF California, and ia his time one
of the most brilliant and honored of the galaxy
Of American politicians whose talents gave bright
promise of future eminence and usefulness. A
few days since one of our most respected physi-
clans, while visiting patient in the vicinity
was called to enter the dwelling in question and
see a sick man. He did so, and found a DOOR,
broken wreck of humanity, toltering upon the
verge of the grave, in the last stages of dread
full disease. Despite the ruin, physical aud men>
tai, which this unfortunate presented, there were
at occasional moments glimmerings of intelli-
gence which showed that the wretched being
had been something more than an ordinary man
When the physician left, be was told that be had
seen what was left of Senator McDougall. To-
day the mournful drama is ended and the cur>
tain has dropped. Senator McDougall was born
10 this city, and educated as a lawyer. At an
early period in the history of California be en-
igrated thither, and soon attained high position
by virtue of his remarkable talents and great
energy. He was a member of the Legislature,
aud took prominent part in the organization
Of the State. Afterward, he served in the Fed
eeal House of Representatives, with great accep-
| tauce to his party and constituency. In 1861 he
was elected to the United States Senate. In
that body he took a foremost rank. The same
| fervid eloquence which had made him lion of
the masses of California, rendered him powerful
in the deliberative body; and some of his speech>
es will be long remembered as masterpieces Of
oratory. But passion for strong drink proved
his bane and the cause of his ruin. Long before
the close OF his term ne became an object of
shame to those with whom be was associated,
and his suppression would have been a matter of
course, even were bis party in the ascendant in
the California Legislature. Since his retirement
bis only public appearance was at a democratic
meeting in New York, where be was shockingIy
incapaeitated. His subsequent steps have been
| rapid aud certain toward the fatal end The
story is too sad to dwell upon. Let us remember
the unfortunate only with pity for his sad fate.
Himself the worst sufferer By the vice which de-
stroyed him, his mournful death furnishes sad
warning to others against the foliies BY which
he was destroyed"
