Skroggs, do tell me what brought that
old skin-hint,T Jones, here to-day. 1l7
He was here no less than three times
in half as many hours. He seemed SO
mighty anxious about seeing you that
thought it no harm for me to inquire bis
business. This I did the last time he
called, and he answered me 30 evasively
that / concluded there was mischi ei
boding somewhere. @ hzs se1 % 81. .o1
"a You know. Skroggs, he never calls any.
where but when he has a monied inter

attend a party of any kind, whether
moral, religious or Intellectual, when a
penny would be required of him.
The old devil has some malicious de.

Death of n Young Lady from Dis
s1 appointment in Love. la--.


A sad but interesting case of the death
of young lady named Susan King is a
general topic of conversation at Woburn
at the present time. The deceased had
been afianced to young man, to whom,
it appears, she was deeply attached
Some weeks since she happened to OBJ
serve him in company with another
young woman, undersuc circumstances
ces as to give rise to feelings of jealousy
on her part. She upbraided him for his
conduct and he replied to her remon-
strances in spirited manner, which
further provoked her to dismiss him.
1t seems, however, that she still cher
ished in secret the old affection,
and the disappointment SO weighed upon
her mind as to cause severe nervous
attack, resulting, about ten days since, in
utter prostration. She remained in this
condition until her death. which occurred
on Saturday last. The circumstance
having been so peculiar, and the malady
having bafled the skill of the physi-
clans, it was deemed proper an autopsy
should be performed, which was done on
Monday by Drs. Gutter and Abbot. No
trace Of disease, or obvious cause Of
death was discoverable, but the system
was apparently in an entirely healthy
and normal condition. The deceased
was person of excellent character and
fine personal appearance, and was much
esteemed and beloved.

leaning. Noticing that she leaned against the
cold wall we told her that the pain in her
back was rheumatism, and that that would
increase IL. If there is no law against it, we
hope some one OF the thousands of Philadel-
phia ladies whom the Governor told us were
Interested in Hester's case will send her a
chair. Whilst we we're there the door stood
wide open. "Oh," said she, show pleasant "
seems to have that door open. You have no
idea how dreadful it is to be shnt up all alone
these long, dark nights, with mice and cock
reaches. have had my fingers bitten while
sleeping" We mentioned this to gentleman
in the corridor. He replied, ga prison is not
hotel"
ARE cocKRoAcHBs LEGALP
As men are great stcklers for law, mas
much as mice and cockroaches we're not part
of the Judges sentence, We trust such
nusances will be speedily abated as the uua-
voidable hsrdships of prison life are more than
most mortals can endure without becoming
idiots or lunatics.
MRS. DR.. SMITH.
In view of the Jealousy expressed at the
New York sympathy for Hester Vaughan, we
asked how many Philadelphia ladies had been
in to see her. She spoke of the frequent visits
and great kindness of Mrs. DR.. Smith.
"Once," she said, "a lady came with hsr;
and last Friday (three days after the New
York meeting) two ladies came to see me; that
is ALL"
We agree with the Governor that the home
sympathy has been manifested with peculiar
quietneSS both by the press and people OF Penn
sylvania.
CONCLUSION.
We have no reason to fear that the poor and
unfortunate will ever receive too much atten-
tion either at home or abroad.
We trust the present excitement will teach
u.s. one and all, that we have an individual
responsibility in the helpless ones now suffer
ing in our jails and prisons. If We could only
make the sorrows of others our own we
should have less patience with wrong and
oppression.
ut is remarkable" says Dean Swift, "with
what Christian fortitude and resignation We
can bear the sufferings of other folks"

Bishop Atkinson.

Although we were not among the papers
referred to which republshed the cowardly
and base libel upon this distinguished
divine, but having made reference thereto
with several of our contemporaries, we think
it is proper for US to publish the letter Of
Maj. JOHN HUGHES, to be found elsewhere,
not in vindication of Bishop ATKINSON
that is unnecessary--but to show upon
what shallow falsehoods this fellow based
his attack-to what depths of infamy, des-
picable arrogance and impudence lead the
miserable adventures who are battening
upon the honor and good name of North
Carolina.

The Science OF Farming.

We direct attention to the very interest.
ing address of Prof. GRADY before the New
Hanover County Agricultural Society,
at its annual meeting in May, 1868,
which we publish to-day. We are glad tc
lay before our readers this manly appeal in
behalf Of the noble occupation Of oul
farmers
Through the impetus which the New
Hanover planters have given to the subject
of agriculture, and by our efforts to make
known their labors to others, we are glad
to see the most lively interest awakening
in many parts of the State. In some OF
them, following the example of our farm
ers, agricultural societies are forming, and
in many others the question is agitated.
We know our farmers will not flag in their
good work, but go forward until agriculture
in this section is placed upon that intelli-
gent foundation which has made less favored
countries vast gardens of fertility and
wealth We ask them not to forego their
purpose of all Agricultural Fair, and de-
mand from the citizens of Wilmington a
direct answer upon the question of the To-
cation of their grounds. Do not let indif-
ference hide itself behind the safe retreat of
silence, bnt let our people have only them
selves to blame for the hurtful consequent
ces of refusal. We promise to assist
them in this effort. Urge, therefore, an
early and direct answer upon the propo-

We call the attention of friends to our
liberal offers to single and club subscribers
during the Presidential campaign. The
political history of the country has revei
furnished parallel to the coming canvass,
whether in the Importance of the issues al

ciating the general interest felt by our peo

upon this State and section, we have placed
our Daily and Weekly within the means OF
all. The time embraced in the offer will
cover the entire campaign, including both
the proceedings of the National Nomina.

the election in November.
We trust our friends will aid us in
placing our offer for campaign paper be

From the st. Louis Guardian

After all is it not fact. reason, dilate
and exemplify as you willis not the
question of finance one that reaches most
directly every man interested in the present
crisis in this country q? Sorry we are to say
that such is the fact, and such being so, let
US attempt briefly here to deal with the dol
lar and cent affair.
To commence, then, the amount of the
liquidated debt, as stated at this time by
the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. McCul-
loch, is $4,000, 100000 in round numbers.
The unliquidated debt, as considered by
Thad. Stevens and others, is not accu-
rately known. but it is thought to amount
to nearly as much more. Be that as it may,
we will at present not regard it, as it is moi
bonded. and does not draw interest. The
Understanding portion is made mp princi.
pally of what is called "Ten-forties and
g Five-twenties. The former are bonds
issued before the passage of the Legal
Currency Act" in February, 1862, and are
payable, principal and interest, in gold,
such being the express terms and condi-
lions of the act. ......- s...i .-..
