An Andover and Boston Romance.

An Andover and Boston Romance.
A soldier from Andover, during the
war advertised for IL lady correspondent
with reference to matrilnony. At
length a response was made 10y young
lady in Boston. The correspondence
which followed gave mutual informa-
ton aud ripened into mutual affection.
The soldier obtained Il iurough for the
purpose of visiting his fair Duicina, and
having the twain made Que. On arriv-
ing in Boston he called at the street
and number to which he had been invi-
ted, and was ushered by the servants
into spacious aud elegantly furnished
parlor of the house, there to await the
appearance of Miss l.. for whom he in
quired. Shortly very neat and intel
lgent looking coIored girl entered the
room and conversation commenced
very much in this wise:
Soldier-''It is Miss l.. | want to
see"
Colored LADY, am Miss L."
Soldier-"U the circumstances,
you will not expect me to fulfill my Ell
gagement.'
Colored lady-Oh no; of course not,
but you will recolcct | wrote you that l
had dark conplection.'
Thus ended the affair. The letters
which passed between them are said to
have been saturated with the very ten
derest affection. The lady has since
been married to one OF her own color.
aud divulged the above TO u female
friend, to be kept strictly confidential.

A Juggler's Trick.

y While the tom tom was beating lnt
the pipe playing, the juggler, singing al
the time in low accents, smoothed
place in the gravel three Or four yards
before us. Having thus prepared BED
for the plant to grow in, he took basket
and placed it over the prepared place,
covering it with thin blanket. The
man did not wear a thread of clothing,
EXCEPT strip round the loins. The time
seemed 10 have come for the detective g
eye. SO just rs he was becoming more
earnest in his song, and while the TOM
tow beat and the pipe shri1led more
loudly, stepped forward with becom-
ing dignity and begged him to bring the
basket aud its cover to me. The juggler
complied. l examined the
basket. It was made Of open wicker
work. then examined the cloth COW
ering. 1t was thin, almost transparent,
and certainly there was nothing conceal
ed in 1t. + then fixed my eyes on his
strip of clothing with such intentness
that 1t was not possible it could have
been touched without discovery; and
babe him so on. / felt perfectly sure
that The trick would not succeed. Sit
Ing down, he stretched his naked arms
Under the basket, singing and smiling
y Re did %; he then lifted the basket
IN the ground, and beheld green
pisnt, abogt foot high. Satisfied with
,ur applauss. he went on with his in
,antationa. After having sat little, to
i've his plant time to grow, he again
lied The basket, aud the plant was now
NO feet high! He asked us to wait n
little longer that we might taste the
'ruit! But on being assured by those
Who had seen the trick performed before,

the ground, and found it was smooth
and upturned. Apparently delighted
with my surprise, the juggler stood up

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

The success of Secretary Seward as
diplomat ST, especially since the close of
the war, will probably always be dispu-
ted question; yet, though he has not been
successful in adjusting our European diff
hcultles he has at least been as foxy as
those with whom he has had to deal, and
thus far has allowed no advantage to be
taken of US. We therefore believe that.
In spite Of his anxiety to effect a settle
ment Of our foreign claims before the
close Of The present administration, he
Will not risk his reputation by approving
of the basis of a settlement which has
lately been agreed upon by Reverdy
johnson. The latter seems to be no equal
to our shrewd Secretary.i in craftiness, and
having eaten the beef and drank the wine,
and been futtered with the fattery of
our british cousins, he was apparently
determined not to be outdone by them in
ciVility, and, when he came to the most
important business of his mission, he gave
them to all intents and purposes, carte
blanche to ELL up as suited them best.
The natural result is that a large number
OF claims against our Government were
conjured up and put in as set offs against
the enormous injuries inflicted upon our
commercially the Anglo-rebe! privateers,
and, if a balance should be struck, scarce
" enough would come to us to pay the
expenses Of one of Reverdy's English
dinners za a.
But if there is any doubt as to the
course Of the President, or Secretary of
State upon the question, there is
none in regard'to that of the Senate-it
is absolutely certain that they will never
ratify any such one sided agreement as
tibet nov proposed.

Eds. RepNbLi cQl1:--

Eds. Republicans
Please to give place in your fe arless un-
trammeled and valuable journal to few re-
marks concerning the bond indebtedness, and
the recent movement of some parties in this
city. 1t cannot be N isunderstood from the
clauses inserted in the bill, that was introduc-
ed by the Bond Commissioners in Coles Hall,
on Thursday last, before it was amended by
Mr.. Prentiss, that unlimited power was intend
ed for these three commissioners, Or in other
words they might be styled the three Emperors
of MISUNDERSTANDING no limit prescribed as
to what !hey must pay, or to impede or check
their valuable services. 1t will be seen in the
original bill as read to the meeting that they
are to buy the bonds at the lowest possible
figure; that looks reasonable. Let US exam
inc what this lowest possible figure may be +;
let US suppose that man has ST., 900 or 50, 900
in to bonds, and his lowest figure is 81 80 or
81, rs or more. This Committee or Emperors
of Watertown, by getting their original fav-
orite act passed in the Legislature, not only
would have the power to pay the above men
toned price, they might pay the whole
amount, principal and interest if they should
see fit to do so. Let examine little further
the merits of the bill and see in another section
that in case of sickness or dea til, or other
causes that one oftheir Enperors could not
attend, lin that case) We have the consoling
privilege of getting another to fill his pl ce
through the DISTINGUISHED instrumentality of
the Circuit Judge.
l might point out other objections but this
is sufficient to show that the provisions of
that bill is injury added to insult and virtual
ly would reduce our ability and intelligence
below that of Russian serf. 1t would be an
insult to the intelligence of the Hindoos of In
dla or the Esquimaux of Behring Straits For
my part l cannot see the necessity of Commits
sioners, as we have a Common Council to set
tie The affairs OF the city. The proper place to
settle this matter is in the Common Council
where the whole city is represented, and save
all travelling and other expenses for the Com
missioners, which during their term of Office.
would amount to q great portion of our city
debt If these would-be Commissioners would
at the next charter election, present themselves
for Aldermen il their respective wards, the
city would have the benefit of their reasoning
powers altar less expense. Although itzwould
not be as fat a job for Commissioners, the city
in theend would be the gamer in great meas
ure. TAXPAYER.

DIVIDEND DECLARED BY THE. ST.
PAUL RAILROAD CoNIPANY--The New
York Times Of the 22d says:
"The Board of Directors of the Mil
waukee and st. Paul Railway Company at
their meeting this afternoon, declared a
cash dividend of seven per cent, free OF
government tax, on their preferred stock,
and resolved to divide in common stock
ten per cent. to the preferred stockholders,
and fourteen per cent. to the common
stockholders. The transfer books will be
closed from the 30th inst, to February
10Th, at which time the dividends will be
paid"
To pay this dividend it will require
1850, 900 cash, besides the government
tax, which is $4,000 more, and stock to
tie amount of 81 100000. 1t is the
FRS. cash dividend which the ST. Paul
rod has paid.
