THE DIFFERENCE.-It is we'll known that
the people of different countries and those
of different sections of the same country
have dialect of their own. Natives of
Vermont use widely different language
from those of Virginia and the other
Southern States. At the North people
"guess - at the South they "reckon )"
here good yield of potatoes would be a
heap;'' there they would be fright
smart chance" During the war one of
our soldiers inquired Of a southern lady
the distance to certain village, and was
told, 1.-TWO good looks and right smart
chance" This turned out to mean about
five miles. In England the difference in
dialect is still more marked, being so great
that people of adjoining counties cannot
understand each other. These facts were
called to mind the other day by an incident
in the class in elocution. The English,
most of them, have peculiar manner of
sounding or falling to sound the consonant
"h," and it sometimes is rather amusing,
as for instance in spelling "saloon." 1t
was said to have chess and ha, one
hell, two hoes, and hen." But the incl
dent: The sentence as read by one of the
class was. eff you had seen those white
arms" &C.; the last word he called
charms" The Professor corrected him
in few remarks, and then asked him if he
could not see the difference between EARN"
and HARM" and to state the difference to
the class. The answer was g.,
"The difference is, one IS pronounced
aoih HATCH and the other soith a HAP

home to Milton, Rock county, and will re-
turn on Tuesday next. He has five more
lessons to give his class in elocution to
complete. the course, and closes on Friday
evening with an Exhibition. s.

A CONFLICT OF RACEs.-Nasby Ia
ments over the sudden and great popularity o.
| the African, in this country, but we occasion
| ly find a person who retains his ancient dis
gust for the 'snigger" Such person, by the
the name of--we will call him Brown-lives
| in this city. On two separate occasions he has
seen fit to apply abusive epithets to harmless
individual of color who follows his occupta-
ton as a stone cutter. The second lime the
latter became exasperatcd beyond measure and
having reached the condition known as ''sas-
sy,' he sent back better than he received, and
went off with the consciousness that he was
the swimming Color" The other, feeli ng that
his wounded honor could only be healed by a
salve composed of the "nigger's" blood, OBJ
tatned an old pistol with which he proposed
to shoot the darkey in less than half an hour.
While on the war-path, he dropped into the
| One Dollar Store, on the bridge, and soon after
| one of our not over sedate citizens who had
heard his buster and threats, came in, and
ssiust for the fun of the thing" told Brown that
he better get out of that, as he had just seen
the darkey looking for him, and that he had q
cheese-knife two feet long, with which he was
going to slice him up" A look of horror
overspread our heros face his courage oozed
from every pore the stifening forsook his
knees, and for a moment he stood as if paral-
yzed. Recovering strength he darted through
| a door which he spied at the back part of the
room, and down a pair of stairs under the
bridge whence he worked his way to the shore
and sought safety in flight. Scarcely had he
| disa appeared when his antagonist, who never
| had thought of injuring any one, came into
/ the store. He had been there but few lin
utes when Brown, having become convinced
that his only safety was in securing the pro-
lection of an officer, was seen stealing fartive-
ly along the opposite side f the bridge, look.
| ing in every di rection for the dreaded ''nig
| gern The person who had started the mis-
chief was still in the store and said to thu
| darkey, ado you see Brown there? He is look
ing for you to shoot you" The poor fellow
terror was scarcely leas than Browns had been.
''Where shall | go ~ he asked. The doo
through which Brown had vanished was point.
ed out to him, and he vanished through it also
cleared the stairs at bound, and fled for life
over the same route which Brown had tray :
ersed few minutes before e.
| We wish we could leave them running away
from each other, but officer, with warrant
sworn out by Brown, soon caught the other
party, and put him in the lookup, where he
remained till evening when he was brought
into Court and the above facts appearing, was
releasad-Brown paying costs.

DIED..

In the city of Watertown, Wis, on Monday
evening the 10th of May, 1859, Mrs. SUSAN
S. CADY, wife of Linus R. Cady, being Sd
years of age.
Mrs. Cady came to the State at an early day
and lived FIVE years in Milwaukee before re-
moving to this city, where she has resided for
the last IS years. For many years she was
an invalid and thereby prevented, in a great
measure, from taking that active and useful
part in society for which her natural tastes and
social qualities we'll fitted her. AT times her
sufferings were very great, but she bore them
with unfailing fortitude and cheer fulness, and
with no word of repining or complaint at
the hard lot which she had been called upon
to endure.
Mrs. Cady having been COMMUNICATE of
st. Paul's Church in this city, the last solemn
rites due to the departed were observed on
Thursday the 18th, in accordance with the
usual forms of the Protestant Episcopal
Church.
In this city, on Monday the 18th, after a
long and painful illness MR. CHARLES
