THE PRINCESS OF WALEs.-A pleasant little
picture of the Princess of Wales, drawn by a
young American lady in London and sent for pub
location 10 the Philadelphia Saturday Evening
Post: Here comes the Princess of Wales !" We
all sat up very straight, trying not to look curious
and pleased, and conscious, and feeling that we
failed miserably In the attempt. One young per-
son dOnned her eyeglasses, and wished that cir
constance and high breeding would have allowed
the Use of opera-glasses instead. Meanwhile
stylish landau rolled toward US, drawn by two
handsome prancing bays. The coschman and
footmen were dressed In plain dark livery-the
whole equipsge and its appointments being as
simple, unpretendng, and perfect as one could
well imagine. Two ladies were seated in the car
rage, one OF whom turned her calm, quiet gaze
full upon us-it was the princess. She had an
oval face, pale and pathetic, with quantity of
hair, Of that neutral tint called light brown,
drawn away from the smooth, frank brow. Her
blue eyes are large, sad, and questioning; her
nose slightly aqulline, and her mouth Is very sweet
and sensitive. Not beautifully, and hardly to be
called not even pretty, except, perhaps, under
attering gas light, with the brilliant adjuncts of
Q splendid toilet, she yet has tender, womsnly,
fower.like face that would, in any rank of life,
cause good man involuntsriy to accord her his
protection, and a good woman to give her her
love. She was dressed quite simply, wearing
blue velvet paletot, with bit of swans down at
her throat black lace hat, with blue velvet
flowers and strings, and dark gloves.

considered very rich.
The Fayetteville IN. c. News says that there
are 400 acres in that vicinity planted in grape
vines.
The store of B. A. Wise, in Macon, Geo., was
entered recently and robbed of $500 worth of
property.
VIM. Cheek, of Warren, N. c., died on the 26th

On Wednesday week two negro men entered
the store of Ben. Scott at Bankston, Monroe

he fell, and then robbed the store. Mr.. Scott
died from the effects of the wounds.
DIR. Hawkins, the able president of the Raleigh

out on his land, in Warren county, l00, 900 peach

is supposed.
We learn from the Newbern IN. c. Journal of
Commerce that the negro soldiers in that city,
being about TO leave, were turned loose on that
night and were the instigators of the row. About
fifteen of them went across the Trent to the
negro settlement called James City, where the
citizen negroes were having dance. Without
provocation the soldiers began to fire upon the
assemblage. The citizen negroes few to arms.
In the melee which followed the soldiers were
badly worsted. Two are supposed to have been
killed, and six, severely wounded, have already
been brought to the city. or the citizens Frank
MenniDger, brother to the secretary of state, was
the only one seriously injured.
