ROYAL SCANDAL.

A great sensation has been created in
Denmark by the scandalous particulars
recently published about the antecedents
of the notorious Countess Danner, the
widow of the late King Frederick the
Seventh. 1t appears from these details that
the Countess Danner was the issue of an
incestuous union, her parents being brother
aud sister She is a native ofRhenish Prus-
sis, and as young girl was distinguished
alike for her surprising beauty and her
somewhat dissolute life. After giving
birth to an illegitimate child, she married
a tavern-k keeper at Muhlheim, near Co
logne, on the Rhine, and her beauty soon
attracted large numbers of travellers to her
husbands hotel, which was generally
known as Hotel of the Beautiful Land
lady" One day Danish artist from Co
penhagen stopped there, and was so smit-
ten with her charms that he laid siege to
her heart and prevailed On her to elope
with him to Denmark. At Copenhagen
Crown Prince Frederick saw and loved
her, but she turned deaf ear to his appli-
cation until he heroicaIly promised to
marry her. He did so in 1850, three years
after he had assembled the throne. 1t is
believed that she was never divorced from
her husband, the Muhlheim tayern-keeper.
King Frederick the Seventh was 80 ex-
ceedingly fond of her that he oftentimes
declared that he would abdicate his crown
rather than give her up.

OYSTERS.

The Way They Are Brought About.
The oyster, when spawning, does not
cast its eggs like other fish, but dissolves,
as it were, part of his own body, which
passes in long slender threads as fine as a
spiders web, upon which are congregated
millions of little eggs, not visible TO the
naked eye, but which, when put under a
powerful magnifying glass, astonish the
beholder by their numbers. Ii is esti-
mated that about seventy per cent. Of this
spawn is destroyed by fish, and about ten
per cent. from other causes, leaving twenty
per cent. 20 find the way into market.
These little "seed" clinging to whatever
they touch, generally To old oysters, and
the many little shells one often sees cling
ing to large oysters, are but the growth of
these seed. When oysters have spawned
in clear place, and free from their fish
enemies, their growth is very rapid until
they attain the size of quarter of dol
lar, and it is at this period Of their exist
ence that the oystermen take them for
transplanting. The shells are very thin,
and the inside meat scarce larger than a
shirt button, one having the rest of the
shell filled with milky fluid which in
time forms the body Of the fish. Oysters,
after they are transplanted, are, with few
exceptions, not ft TO eat under three years.
1t might be supposed that the oyster, with
its hard shell, was free from all danger,
but such is not the case. He has two
deadly enemies-the star fish and the
borer. The former will fasten on an oys-
ter. and in a short time suck the life out Of
him. The latter, with his little saw and
gimblet bill, bores through his shell, and
once through, the oyster is soon destroyed.

Largest Circulation in City and Stat
FINANCTAL PROSPECTS.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times, writing on the 25th, says
yesterday the receipts of internal reye-
nue. reached the lowest point they have
touched since the war, having been only
$4,000, which is not million a week
mere bagatelle, considering the amount
necessary TO carry on the government and
pay the interest on the public debt. The
decline in receipts has been going on for
some time, but never was so marked as on
yesterday. II has brought Mr.. McCullochs
contraction to dead halt, without any ne
cessity for the interference Of Congress
any further action of that slow-moying
body, 50 far as coming to the rescue of the
country is concerned, being like locking the
stable~door after the steed has been stolen.
Instead Of being able TO reduce the public
debt any for the present, Mr.. McCulloeh
will be compelled TO look on and see it in
crease, without being able to stay the SWELL
ing Of the volume Of Indebtedness. In the
meantime comes news from all parts of the
country of mercantile failures; dis
tress in the manufacturing sections,
which threatens starvation TO thousands
during the coming winter; and
actual starvation, ere the worst of
the season has been reached, in the South.
In New York, the wholesale drygOods job
bers are doing literally nothing, while the
shrinkage Of values is rapidly prostrating
firms heretofore considered among the
most solvent in the city. 1t is stated that
the failures exceed in number and magni-
tude those in the darkest days Of 1857,
while the number of people thrown out of
employment is immense and increasing
rapidly.
"The bill for the new loan, as proposed
by the Senate Finance Committee, is al
ready az good as dead. 1t has virtually
fallen still-born, Notwithstanding that MIR.
Sherman, for Mr.. McCulloch and Jay
Cooke they are all one), tried to dodge, in
his proposal, the proposition of many men
in both parties to pay the 5-20s in lawful
money. The finance Senator evidently
sees trouble ahead in his proposal, and
sought to avoid it, but failed. The finan-
ciers are literally at their wits end, and
every man in Congress has a panacea for
the existing evils"

wise:

perfect people in general, it was disagree

pathetic the Bostonians became critical,

Reign Of Terror Ia virginia. etc.

New YORK, Dec. 28.-Tbe Heralds
Charlotte county (Va.) special says that
along and throughout the counties named
below, a reign of terror prevails. The
freedmen have become desperate at the
delay in the distribution Of farms, and now
seek revenge by house-burning, cattle. steal
ing, and other outrages. The counties of
Prince Edward, Lunenburg, Halifax,
Mecklenburg, Amelia and Spottsylvania
are deluged with such outrages as murder,
arson and incendiarism, and war of races
seems inevitable. The civil authorities are
powerless to protect, and military posts are
30 remote that the whites have determined
TO defend themselves, and they have re-
solved to die rather than submit to negro
supremacy.
The Herald's Charleston Is. Co special
says: Gen. Candy has issued an order for
the convention to meet in this city on the
oath January next The total official
returns give a little over 5000 majority
for the convention.

Geo. w Bungay. an editor and au-
thor of much celebrity, in an article
in the Herald Of Health, thus speaks
of Western farmers, He first quotes
Theodore Tilton, who says: Western
men, farmers, as well as others, are
the blutfest, frankest. heartiest men
on earth. They carry their hearts in
their hands, their souls in their eyes.
You iustle against them in the street,
aud by that contract have made their
intimate acquaintance, they like you,
they'will let you know i; if they don't
like YOU. they DO not conceal it by
any Of the little frauds Of unmanly
poli,eness.' To which Mr. Bungay
adds: True, every word Oft. When
Western man shakes you by the
hand YOU feel his heart beating to the
fnger-tips not cold, dead finger or
two touching your palm and chilling
the warm blood of love and friendship
into ice. 1t is fact, that many of the
best people of the West are from New
York and New England but they do
not pride themselves on that account.
They are conscious Of the fact that
the man Of the West is more Of rep.
resentative man of America than is
the man Of the East. If the reader
imagines there is a great lack of social
refinement and elegance at the West,
he is mistaken"
