The BAsENEss OF LIvING.-A writer who
lived in the days of the once notorious Duke
Of Queensbury, (known in England in his times
as old @. J tells Us how that yoiuptuary lived :
'If the Duke Of Queensbury does not ex-
tend his life to still longer period, 1t will not
be for the want of culinary comforts, and those
other excellent arts by which longevity is pro.

regales in warm milk bath, perfumed with
almond powder, where he takes coffee and a

STORMY SCENE IN THE CONVENTION. The
New York Herald Richmond correspondent
thus describes scene that occurred In the
State Convention 90 Thursday evening last:
While MIR. Hunnicutt was replying to the
scathing record given of him yesterday by Mr..
Gibson, conservative, elected by his taunts on
Virginians as rebels and traitors, be went far
beyond the Recognized latitude of a spea ker,
and called Henry A. Wise and R. NJ. T. Hun,
ter traitors This brought Dir. +. w.
Hunter, conservative delegate, from King
George county, and relative Of the ex-senator,
| to his feet, who said, eff you say K. NJ. T.
Hunters traitor. you are liar, and hurl the lie
in your teeth" Mr. Lipgatt then arose and en-
dorsed the language Of Hunter, and most indie.
scritable scene then ensued. Dr. Norton, colored
member moved that the parties be reprilnan
ded. The Chair was thoroughly bewildered and
| looked terrified. For Il time It Was feared Il
general melee would grow out Of the matter.
| Many began to feel for their pistols, and amld
the confusion one revolver on the radical side
OF the house dropped on the nOOr lie Ger
geant- alarms reared Order - in vain, end
the Chair brought down his hammer Tor naught,
while the excitement prevailed. The remarks
of Hunnicutt are general condemned, ard even
! radicals do MOI countenance his course IN this
matter. Half the house were on their teet at
the same time, but order was ullmate y restored
and the affair referred for investigation TO an
appropriate committee Much feeling exists
in consequence OF this, and may yet result III
an encounter between the opposing parties.
Two Kentucky mule traders write from
