AN EXTRAORDINARY CAsE.-The
New Orleans Times, of Saturday, saws!
For week past the daughter of
MIR. Welshaner, aged about three
years, and residing at the corner Of
Spain and Greatmen streets, complain
ed of an itching ache in the stomach /;
which she attributed to hor parents,
as being caused by ants. The irrita.
tion lasted from that time until half
past seven O'clock Thursday night,
when sho was taken worse. The faith
er OF the child, supposing that worms
was the cause Of arcr illncss, admin.
lstercd worm powder. About mid
night she was taken seriously ill, ac-
eompanied by choking sensation, and
IT was feared she would die from the
effects, when she suddenly vomitcd,
throwing ue among other matter a live
mouse, about an inch and a half long,
not including the tail, which was near
,he samo length. AS soon as the
young giri was relieved of the animal,
she immediately exclaimed to her an
x'ous parents. ooh, mother, look,
this is the thing that has been troub.
ling me so much !" When we saw the
child Friday morning, she was as we'll
"sconld he5 and romping about the
street, us happy as ''gay sunnower."
lMMlGRAmoN.-We have already
published the amount of Immigration
to this country during May, largely
exceeding tLat Of last year. The
tide continues. A cable message
from Liverpool, dated the 18th states
that over 5000 left that port during
the week for New York.
Of some 10000 passengers not q
single man came from Africa-a fact
worthy the notice Of our colorcd
friends. Their selfish deceivers or,

OF permanent power, and urging them
on in the crusade against the white
people TO impose disabilities and

increase of the white should be warn.

MURDER - Vaynesboro, Ga, June
l6.-Adkin ID. Lewis, good aud use.
full citizen, residing about seven miles
south of this place, was murdered ia
in his field about s O'Clock a. a, to-
day. The murderer is negro named
"Ben," about 40 years old, round,
plump fellow, weighing about one
hundred and tfty pounds. He used a
knife to accomplish his hellish pur.
pose, with which he inflicted four or
five stabs on the body and breast of
the dead man. He fed and no arrest
so far. AS far as can be judged it is
case of premeditated murder, Ben
having disclosed his plans and purLos-
es to friend last night. A child of
Ben's was hired to Mr.. Lewis as o
house servant, and, it is supposed that
II correction Of the child some DAYS
ago by deceased, caused Ben to com
nit the horrid deed. A little son Of
Mr.. Lewis, about 10 years old, was
present at the killing.

DIVISION IN THE REPUBLICAN, RANKS
IN PENNsYLvANIA.-The Washingion on
correspondent of the New York Irt-
dune, writing on the l7th inst, says:
a number, Of Pennsylvania pohti-
cians, including several members Of
Congress, arrived here today, ii Tho
interest OF the Republican party of the
State. They represent that there is an
unfortunate and q very serious division
among the leaders Of the party in their
State, with no prospect of union be-
fore the approaching Gubernatorial ca m d.
paign. One faction goes so far as to
threaten to nominate and support can
didate independent Of the regular nomi.
nation OF the party. Some Of the most
prominent Of these 'disorganizers," as
they are termed, are Federal Office
holders. This is especially The case
among tho Government officials iof
Philadelphia. Itseems to be fight OF
the city politicians against those from
the country districts. An effort is max.
ing to bring about severa! removals
among the Philadelphia officials, or to
have them stop their interference in the
Organization Of the party for the coming
campaign. The Gubernatorial nomi.
mating Convention will DO held in
Ph,ladelrhi- next week, and these Gov
ernment officials can exercise great in
buence il they are so disposed. ,.a ,,s

THE YERaER MURDER TRIAL.--In
the case of Yerger, before the mill
tary commission, the defence com-
menced the examination of witnesses
on the 2lst inst. It shows that the
piano seized was not the property Of
Yerger. Crane knew tho fact, but
ordered the officer to seize, notwith-
standing. 1t is further shown, by cor
rcspondence, that Yergcr had offered
to settle claim held against the city
for damages to property caused by the
negligence of the city government
An order of restitution had been is-
sued by Judge Peyton, of the high
court, and served on Crane previous to
the difficulty, but had not beon obey
ed.

BYsMRs. WILLIAMS.


tits generally yssupposed that women arc the
only gossips in creation. and that their lords
and masters nevos indulgoin this peculiarly
feGinine trait.
q, certainly not, sirs, you mover repeat Say
tale Of scandal, do you7 You never DISCUSS
Syoat neighbor's affairs. In fact the only top
10 you talk about arc business aud politics
That's what you say---ana you really think
so---bat | say this: There arc no moro por-
sistent rollors Of the ball Of scandal than you
same lords of creation.
What are you talking about when you con.
gregAte at tho corners Of the streets, or under
the church porch, or at your olabs Politics
sometimes, Iknow, and business sometimes.
But, my lords, you discuss the merits Of other
peoples affairs too; you assist in spreading the
last tale Of scandal about some unfortunate
woman; you help tho ball to roll. You are
generally tho first to carry home "tho news"
as it is called; you generally are tho first to
Inform tho females of the house that a muir.
s der was committed, or that Mrs -----.has just
run. away with her husbands friend, or that
such an ono has failed, or robbed the bank
In fact, there are no moro gigantic gatherers Of
news than you uare-you arc perfect newspapers.
Some of you, of course, started tho idea
that your sex never gossip; while, in reality,
you do lrctty good share Of t--as much
almost.as women, ouly your talk is not called
gossip, and ours is
Lam painfully aware, that gossip is sin
\ that doth most easily beset a woman that the
woman who does not love gossip is a rara uv.
IS. But anu also aware that men do the
same thing; then, why speak of gossip as n
fea,iniue trait, when it is not confined to
woman alouc. The very greatest gossip I
have ever seen WAS a man, and the most pru-
dent talker, the one who never eossipcd, was
woman.
< know that there is such thing rs harm-
less gossip, but,~as general thing, gossip is
4 not harmless; thcreisa great deal Of fmischict
doue sometimes by talking about other pco-
ples affairs.
No, my lords, don't, pray you, "lay the
aattering JUNCTION to your soul that your sex
never gossip. Stop condcmnng woman for
what you are frequently guilty of yourself
1t is time that the mask you have SO long
worn should be torn aside, and you yourself
seen as you really arc, and not as you seem TO
be,-Danington ,Southcrncr.
