Madee Harley, 6 she sat down by her
neighbor's fire one evening: "here you are
at your sewing, with the Kettle stsaming on
the hob, and the tea things steaming on the
table, expecting every minute 10 hear your
husbands steps and see his face look in at

yours, Janet ~
"He is like mine in manysof his ways .
said Janet, with amile, land if you will

sigh, Its misery to live rs Do"
"Well, them" said Janet, speaking
slowly and distinctly. II let my hus-
band see that love him still, and that l
learn every day to love him more. Love is
the chain that binds him to his home. The
world may call it folly, but the world is not
my law-giver."
And do you really think" exclaimed
Madge IN surprise, !" that husbands care
for that sort Of thing!"
For love, do you mean :" asked Janet.
Yes" replied Madge, " they don't feel

.No, because your husband is different,
and values his wifs's love, while John cares
for me only as his housekeeper."
II don't think that" said Janet, al-
though he said to my husband the other
day that counting time was the happiest Of q
mans life. William reminded him that
there is greater happiness still. even on
earth, if men but gave their hearts to Christ.

A PIsTOL PLANT. = A few evenings
ego the Librarian of the Long Island His
torical Society was startled by the report of
pistol in the book alcoves. He made
search, but discovered nothing, and at the
time no other person was in the rooms. The
next day the assistant librarian heard sim-
liar report, and close investigation revealed
the cause. An exhibitor had placed in the
rooms case of tropical plants, among them
q pistol plant, which is sort of nut. Alta
certain state of its growth the she'll of it
bursts with violence, and with sharp sound
exactly resemblingjithe report of pistol.

YOSEMITE FALLS IN CALIFORNIA.-In
the deep valley of Yosemite, are several
falls far surpassihg in height the Falls of
Niagara. At the lower end of the valley is
the cascade called the Bridal Veil, the water
pouring over a rocky wall distance of 900
feet. Two or three miles beyond are the
Yosemite, where the water falls, in three
plunges, q distance Of 2oOO feet, the first
leap being nearly 1900 feet the next 4Oo'
and the last GOO feet. In looking from the
bottom of the gorge at the immense height
from which the water desoends, the stream,
which is 81 feet in breadth at the top. seems
to be only foot and half wide.

SWEET MUsIC's CHARMS.-Watchlng
an itinerant organ grinder perambu'
lating the streets yesterday, We saw
that he was not without appreciat'Ve
followers and listeners. Music not only
sootbes the feelings, but lghtens the
tolls of life. A boy will run round after a
band of two snare drums and 6 cracked
fife half day, and not dream OF beng
tired, and grown men will walk their
feet sore, and think nothing of it, II
they can listen to the strains of half a
dozen chaps blowing vociferously
through an unlimited quantity of brass.
Nothing like music, but if ever that
Italian cuss brings such an Internally
mean organ under our window again
we'll make him wish he was back under
the sunny skies of his own native Linn
erick.

RIVER NEws.-The river is still fall
ing. the marks last evening showing
eight feet ten inches in the channel. At
Pittsburgh, we learn, there is but four
feet ten inches of water in the river.
The Hudson arrived yesterday with a
fine trip. She got away last night with
all she could possibly carry. Capt. Rus
sell informed us that he would not
leave Cincinnati again until Tuesday
next. This will bring him back to bis
regular day. He will arrive here on
the Friday following, and get away
again on Saturday.
The Julia No. 2 passed down yester-
day. and the Kenton went up with a full
trip.
The New State is to-day's Pittsburgh
packet. Shippers and passengers can
find no better boat on the river than
the State.
The Hope and Science will leave at
10 o'clock this morning for Matamoras
and intermediate points. Both boats
are well appointed and Differed, and
passengers will be well taken care of on
either.
Captain J. Wiley, of Vicksburg, is on
his way to the Ohio to procure a small
light draft boat to take the place of the
Powell until the Suniower river i'm
proves.
1t will be rememb ered that the Aus
tralia, built at Pittsburgh, for Magdalen
river, in South America, towed down
the river about the first of May last, for
New Orleans, and thence she was to
make q sea voyage of over a thousand
miles to her destination. 1t seems from
the following, clipped from the New
Orleans Times, of Wednesday last, that
the boat never reached her destination,
being too frail craft for the Gulf voy-
age. The Barranquilla, built at Pitts
burgh, and destined for the same river,
passed down here few weeks ago, and
it is probable that the voyage ever the
Gulf with her will have to be aban-
doned:
The Australia left New Orleans May
Is, and crossed the bar the next morn
ing. In the Calf of Mexico she en-.
countered severe squall, during which
one of the boiler rivets came out. Key
West was made on the goth, and the
little craft got aground and could not
get off for six days, the citizens of Key
West looking upon the crew as tilious-
tors, and not rendering them any assist
ance. Finally they were aided by
friendly "high tide" and reached Nassau
June 8, where they created considerable
commotion-almost as great a hubbub
as the Great Eastern on her experimental
voyage. After undergoing thorough re-
pairs the Australia again went to sea on
the I'd of July, and encountered very
rough weather, which reduced the crew
to the necessity of seeking an anchorage.
Accordingly the frail boat made Kings
ton, Jamaica, where she was condemned
by the inspectors, and sold for S2575, the
best thing that could be done with her,
as all former experience rendered to es-
tablish the fact that she never could
reach her destination.

The Rowdies and the City Aufhorrties
Of Wheeling.

Editors of the Register:
The responsibility of the disgracetnl
and disgusting rowdyism witnessed on
the evening of the 14th inst, on the &C.
casion of marriage in this city cannot
be altogether attributed to the half
grown and half-civilized Doors who took
part in it. The insulting cries, shouts,
yells and acts around the house of gen.
tleman, as well as the unchristian con-
duct Of an ill-bred mob near the Cattle
dral, reflect discrsdit on the authorities
and the entire population of the city.
The police are especially to blame.
These valiant guardians of the peace
VIII very properly pick an unfortunate
drunkard out of the gutter and pom
pously convey him to jail while their
friends, the rowdies, are allowed to
loaf" on the corners and insult respect
able passers by or to run riot through
the streets unchecked and unscathed.
l can hardly conceive why the respect
able citizens of Wheeling tolerate Off
GERS who are incompetent or unwilling
to keep order. For my part, being but
stranger here, the impression made on
my mind by such scene as that of last
night, not a rare one am told, is that
the city authorities and people having
at heart the welfare and responsibility
of their community could direct atten-
tion to nothing more important than
the suppression of such barbarous pro-
ceedings. VIAToR.

A SHARP TRICK.-An investigation
has been made by coroner's jury into
the cause of the late accident on the
Central Ohio railroad, four miles east of
Cambridge. The jury condemned the
engineer of the passenger train, John
knight, and the conductor of the same,
Samuel Gregg, of manslaughter, upon
which verdict a warrant was issued for
their arrest. The Deputy Sheriff of
Guernsey county went with the warrant
to GAINESVILLE, on Saturday last, when
he was taken in charge of by the Loco
motive Engineer Brotherhood, and made
so beastly drunk that he was compelled
to retire. During his retirement, knight
and Gregg left for more congenial eli
mate. They, however, declared their
intention of being present on the first
day of court, to answer to the charge,
as they claim they are not the guilty
parties. They could not give bail for
their appearance, and would be com
PEELED to lie in jail until that time,
which is the 18th of next month. The
proceedings have created great stir
among railroad men.

limited States authorities, and we pre-
snme they will attend to the matter at
an early day.
