Dathy. be iabprs !' "Ah, Patrick, you
know my weakness. Take a piece; but
he sure and lave it, so that you al take
it again when you come !"
Senator Harlan recently replied to
s me charges made aga INST him by news
paper correspondents, by saying thai be
had found that there were brilliant
correspondents, and mediocre cores
pondents, and laZzaroni correspondents
Whereupon the Tribune retorts "Thtrs
be, o learned sir, three kinds of STA
ators-your brilliant Senator, your medi-
OGRE Senator, and your EdzSGTOna SEN
atOr, and, of course, only the tdszGTont
defends himself against n charge by
denying another, and following that up
with abuse Of persons quite as high ia
station, and quite as honorable in char
aeter as himself"
The proverbial luxury of the ancient
Romans is fast being outdone by modern
women of fashion. The most celebrated
Of the Paris beauties has just inaugurated
one OF. the most e~xtravagsnt innovations
of the extrsvagaBt age. Every day she
changes the decoration OF her boudoir as
IL by magic. On awaking in the morn
ing she calls for, say, her pink toilet;
and while she sacrifices to b Grsees,
the cameleOn-like apartment that was
mauve satin yesterday is changed to pink
to-day, and will most likely be green
velvet to- morrow.
"A Chicago woman has just married
her sixth husband, having been divorced
from the previous five. A paper of that
city, announcing the fact, says Yester-
dsy she was married to Joseph A. Sam
ple. Can il be that she only intends to
Il sample him7 What will be the re-
suit Of this alliance none can tell, but
some may guess. 1t is to be hoped that
there is some icy in the cup from which
the lady has quaffed so often. It'll to be
hoped that she is married for "keeps,"
and will stay married.
What pure and sober Christianity
would have done for woman, writes a
correspondent, may be learned from st.
Paups First Epistle to Timothy, chap.
sci, verse II, to the end Of the chapter :
LET the women learn in silence with
all subsection. But suffer not q woman
to teach, nor to usurp authority over the
man, but to he in silence. Fol Adam
was first formed, then Eve. An Adam
was not deceived, but being deceived
was in the trsnsgression."
Prince Felix Salm-Salm, who began
his military career as a cavalry officer
in the Austrian army, afterwards served
in Algeria and Spain, then went through
the American civil war as a Union Of
icer, became q Brigadier General United
States volunteers, and who finally offered
his sword to Msximilisn, and witnessed
his Iamentable end, has just entered the
PrDssisn army as a Major Of the Fourth
or Queens Regiment OF GTenadier
Guards, stationed at Berlin.

HAVANA.

HAVANA, January 2S.-During the
performance CT the Miustrels at VILE
Menviia, last evening, there were sedi-
tious cries OF ''Vlre Ceepedro," and
many Of the audience commenced sing
ing revolution airy hymns. A formidable
riot ensued, and the Spanish, armed vol.
unteers and police fired on the people,
who returned the fire, and many were
wounded on both sides. The affair has
created the most intense excitement
Sensible men Of both parties regret the
occurrence of this outbreak. More riots
are expected to-day.
The Gazette publishes the provisions Of
the new electoral law for Cuba and
Porto Rico. Cuba will send eighteen
and Porto Rico ten members to the
Spanish COrtes.
The revolution continues in San Do,
miDgo, and the reports concerning the
operations there aIe conflicting.
Hartman, q London banker, was con
Guiding a loan of 81. 900, 600 with Baez
and the latter offers as a guarantee the
copper ond coal miues at SANTANA snC
the guano of Alts Vels.
Four persons were killed and many
wounded in the affair at the theater last
night,

THE TRUTH.

One or two penny-a-liuers, who, like
wolves in sleeps clothing, pretend to be
friendly to this community, bat, in re-
slity, are lesgued with its enemies, have
h~ippsntly charged that certain state
ments made in the APPEAL, concerning
the conduct Of CLAYToN's militia, were
overdrawn by OurrepOrter and wantonly
cOlOred. We have to say that every
statement published in u columns con-
corning the brutes now at Marion can be
vouched for by gentlemen at present In
this city, gentlemen of the highest re-
speetabiIity, and who Of their own
knowledge, or through witnesses in
whom they have confidence, can vOuch
for the correctness of every word. Not
only that, but we are fully sustained in
what we have published by the ex-
periences Of the correspondent o.
the Cincinnati Commercial, who,
in his every line and utteranee,
besrs Us out in the relation OF 8 barbarity
aud barbarism, q cruelty and brutality
thst history cannon parallel. The tor
lures, the outrsges, the murders, the
burnings, the robberies and the rapes of
the fendish Arkansas militia are to-day
the canker at many a heart that deserves
better from these scribblers than thst
they should be laughed at and rldiculed
and jeered for their sufferings. Out
upon such conservatism and friendship.
We believe in peace, and will go as far
~ the best to oonduce to it, but we will
not call black white for fear of angering
the ruffians Of Arkansas, nor to cOncili-
ale the trescherous commander WAT
SON, who hippsntly characterized the
peace resolutions Of the high-minded
and honorable citizens Of Crittenden
county as not worth a d-n."

MARRIED.

POTTER-DUKEHEART-In Baltimore. on

daughter OF John Dukeheart, Esq OF Baltl
more.
Charles Potter WAS, before the war, one o.
our most popular and snterprising merchants
at 3S Front Row. The fortunes OF war have
east him adrift, as 1t were, on foreign shores
still, he carries with him the warm friendship
and esteem OF a host OF friends in the Blun
City and we sincerely hope that instead OF
EllicOtts Mills having gained a most estimsbls
citizen, that Memphis may have added to It's
society a lady who, from all we can learn, is
worthy OF the high petition which awaits her
as the bride of our friend Charles Potter. May
their welded life be drowned with all the pros
perity and happiness they 80 richly deserve.

THE DPODTH IND THE STORM

at never rains but it pours" is an old pro-
verb, generally spoken in figure. On Sum
day last it was q very literal, sober fact. Inc
wires yesterday were too widely Frustrated by
the storm to give lis much news of its raw
ages, but last night they were burdcned with
the details.
Through nearly the whole of long dry SUM
mer people have been praying for ram. Inc
crops in many quarters have been seriously IN
jured. In Virginia the drouth has been so Sc
we're as to be in certain sections great caam-
ity. At tho West the corn crop has been scri-
ously damaged. In widely remote regions
late pastures have been cut of,
springs and wells have gone dry, great
cities have suffered from water famine,
and their populations have been dependent on
the frugalty of itheir neighbors and the exer-
tions of little-used engines in pumping water
from half-dry river beds. Even in New-Yo
people began to talk about the danger OF failure
in the CrOton, and the police were enjoined to
prevent any lavish use of the hydrants.
Suddenly we have instead of this water
famine flood Philadelphia is submerged on
Arch and Rice-sts., as far up as Twenty
sccond-st. Baltimore has suffered severely.
Hc udlIldSO III w dolHuEbou 10 uhDiONNuNhVN" ,
sewers have been bursted, streets overiowed,
houses carried away, and even collins washed
out OF the grave-yards and floated
down the miserable little canal called the Ii
Der. Many of our leading railroads are inter-
rupted. The Hudson River Road is badly dam
aged above Poughleepsie, and all trains yes
terday afternoon were stopped. The Harlem
was likewise interrupted about the same time.
So was the Erie and even the Pennsylvania
Central. There are bad breaks in the Eric
Canal. Trains between Washington and New
York were stopped telegraph wires haze been
down in all directions, and, judging from the
delay in some of our dispatches from the
West, the damage has even extended beyond
the Aleghanies. The floods, however are al
ready subsding in many quarters; and we
may trust that before half our readers have
seen these lines, the worst will everywhere be
mast,
