ROMANCE AND REALITY AT THE
HUTR

The Boston correspondent of the Chicago
Times reports The following bit of gossip:
Among the kind, fair hands that fairly
patted kind approval of Mr.. Dickens here,
was a pair that have a history. That
diamond was placed on that finger eight
years ago, and it has not been removed
since, nor will it be until palmer circlet

antee Of old Puritan stock, it will answer
TO say that the young lady is the youngest
daughter of one of our first families, and
has been a beauty from mere child.
When she was some years younger than
now, and when there was not that i'm
passahle gulf between the first families of
Boston and the f. F.'s of the South, she
became engaged to young South Carroll
nian, student at Harvard. True to his
promise made 10 her, the youth, when hos
tilities commenced, held aloof from the
military organizations which sprang mp
around him, and sought TO serve his
State in the diplomatic line. He went
over 10 France some little time after Mason
and Slidell, and worked under them at the
French Court, and elsewhere, doing valuable

LAMP ExPLosIoN.-La Saturday night
about one O'Clock, Squire William j. An
drews was partially awakened by terrific
explosion near his bed. The sudden and
powerful nature Of the concussion caused
him to give his wounded arm a sudden
wrench, the pain of which caused a short
syncope After a short suspense he awoke,
a match was lighted, and It was found upon
examination that the lamp had exploded.
The oil was scattered about promiscuonsly,
soiling bed-eiothes, carpet, etc. The most
serious damage, however, is the effect of
the combined concussion and wrench Of
Mr.. Andrews arm. He thinks the explo-
sion was caused by the careiessness or in
experience OF a servant who put too small
a wick in the lamp. This would produce
no danger so long as the lamp burned
brightly, but after turning it down 40 as TO
burn dimly, hot gas generated in the lamp
faster than il could escape Columbia Her

THE FINANCIAL PROSPECT.
The Probable Effects of the Impeaeh-
meuf.


From the New York Herald, May 9th.
The aspect Of financial and commercial
affairs is Frightening, and money is return
ing rapidly from the interior 10 this city,
where it will soon have the effect of lower
iRg the rate Of interest and stimulating
trade as well as speculation in Wall street.
For the time being, however, the country
is held in a state of suspense, owing to the
impeachment trial, and with this concluded,
whether it involve the conviction or the
acquittal of the President, a sense of relief
will be experienced which cannot fail to
improve business propects generally. At
present the uncertainty attending the result
of the trial and its effect is productive OF
stagnation, and any change from this con-
dition of things must be for the better. 1t
il generally believed in Wall street that the
Presidents conviction will cause an imme-
diate rise in the price of stocks and COM
modities, including gold, because the pub
lie will jump to the conclusion that under
Ben. Wade we shall have currency ints-
tion. This last is not improbable; but
we are as likely to have fresh issne
of hundred millions of currency if Mr..
johnson remains in office as We are if
he is deposed for, in either event. many
of both political parties will make desper-
ate efforts to pave the way 10 the next
Presidential election with new greenbacks.
If the President is acquitted the effect upon
the public mind will be reassuring, and an
impetus will thereby be given to trade and
speculation, while its beneficial effect upon
the public credit will probably be reflected
in improvement in the market for govern
ment securities.
Impeachment alone beclouds the pros
pect, and az soon as this all-absorbing
question is disposed of the currency and
finances generally will engage the atten-
tion Of Congress. The great West will
clamor for greenbacks enough to pay of
the national debt, while the hard money
men OF. the Eastern States will oppose any
further imitation, and a compromise will
probably be the result on the basis of the
hundred millions referred TO, the result of
which will be that we shall enjoy period
of almost unexampled temporary pros
perity, and that everything in Wall street
and elsewhere will, as the phrase is, "gO
kiting," after which we shall suffer a cor
respondingly violent reaction.

THE CRETAN OTFsTION

THE CRETAN QUESTION.
Upon the heels Of British success in
Abyssinia, by which John Bull has it in
his power to convert the Red Sea into
an English lake, comes information from
St Petersburg to the effect that Baron
De Talleyrand Perigora, the French En-
vOy, has had a consultation with Prince
GOrtschakof upon the subject of media
ton by France and Russia in the Turco-
Cretan question. In diplomacy, says the
Philadelphia Age, the end sought to be
obtained is oftentimes far distant from
the point at which beginning is made
France and Russia have both entered the
lists against England for supremacy in
Asia. One is operating in the north and
on the Pacific, the other in Cochin-China
and in that portion of the country. But
England, by an absorption OF Abyssi-
MIA, has strengthened her position, and
made flank movement necessary
in order to put the contest in such
shape as to make new depar-
ture possible At this junctuTe the
uncertain state of the present Vieeroy
of Egypfs health enters as an ingre-
dient into the diplomatic prescription
which France and Rassia are now COM
pounding The death Of that officer may
occur at any moment This would be
attended with serious consequences.
Should a dispute arise as to the Success
sion, and such an event is not improb
able, either France or England would
most likely occupy the country. If the
latter the Suez Canal would then be
controlled by English influence, and
another link added to the chain by
which the East Indies are fastened to
the throne of Great Britain. But just at
this point France and Russia propose to
form an alliance for the purpose of offer
ing their mediation in the Turco Cretan
question. This brings them together for
an ostensible object, and one that will
command the respect and sympathy of
the Christian world Their field of op-
erations is in the South of Europe, on
the shores Of the Mediterranean, and
near the new theater of action likely
to be made prominent by the
victory at Magdala, and change OF
rulers in Egypt While negotiating with
the Sultan on the question of Cretan in
dependence, or a change in the condition
of the people Of that island, the vigilant
supervision of the Gar and his Imperial
brother at Paris can be extended over
affairs in Egypt, Abyssinia, and those
portions Of Asia in which they are di-
reetly interested Napoleon compelled
England to abandon her old ally, Russia,
and aid him during the Crimean war.
The Gar has now an opportunity to turn
the tables upon 'perfdiOus Albion" and
he may do it in such a manner as 10
make each blow doubly hurtful. That
the ST. Petersburg meeting has more
extended meaning and purpose than what
appears on the surface, is evident from
the tone of public sentiment in the two
capitals on the subject Eastern SUI
premacy is the bone of contention at this
time in Europe, and to that point all the
arts of diplomacy will be directed

New York is us grateful for a new sensa-
tion az was the Roman Emperor who en-
nobled a cook for furnishing him with

A SINGING MoUsE.-0ne Of the most
interesting curiosities that we have met in
a long while has been before us for several
days past, in the shape of a very small
mouse, having all the appearance OF an or
diuary house mouse, that sings clearly and
distinctly a great many notes, running
through several distinct and different airs.
The notes, of course, are not loud, but IN
tone and style resemble those of Canary.
Once or twice we have read OF singing
mice, but this is the first we ever saw. We
have seen it stated that singing is really
cry Of pain, and is caused by derange-
ment of the brain. This curiosity was
caught by Mr.. David Craig, of MI. Pleas
