THE BRIDES TOMB.

The incident which am about to re-
late is one of the many evidences of the
oft-repeated saying, that truth is stranger
than fiction. Science, which has opened
80 many doors, which has solved riddles
harder than the Sphynx ever propounded
to the Thebans, looks with silence upon
o certain kind of phenomenon which has
puzzled wiser heads than mine, and
which Webster classes under the nebu-
lous word supernatural
Quite as lucid is the definition Of those
who deny the agency of other than ply
sical or natural causes in producing this
class of events. Imagination, coinci-
deuce, optical illusions, are the blankets
which these supertly practical people
shower upon the heads of all who may
be inclined to exclaim with the poet:
'There are more things in Heaven and
your philosophy" That the writer was
not extinguished years ago by one or
more of these wet blankets, may be ac-
cepted as proof that they are not so po-
tent for the purpose as many good
people imagine them to be. I repeat,
truth is stranger than fiction, which re-
petition means that am not exercising
my imagination. I beg to state that
am too profoundly ignorant for any such
mental exercise. l wrote, conscious of
but one reason. "Tis the 29th of March,
the anniversary of nm ever memorable
night. Like Coleridge's "Ancient Ma
riner," my heart is filed with woful
agony, and L am constrained to repeat
the tale.
Years ago, I was invited to spend the
month of March with family with whom
L enjoyed the most. in innate relations.
This family consisted of three persons
Mr.. and Mrs. Lindon, and their daugh-
ter Marie, q lovely girl of nineteen.
Marie was to be married on tho Goth
of the month, and it was the desire Of
both mother and daughter that I should
spend as much time with them as could
previous to the event. 1t has been so
often asserted that there can be no real
love between women, that the saying
has come to be accepted as truth. 1
have no heart tonight to make any at
tempt at refuting this absurd error; but
that it is an error my love for Marie Lin
den would be convincing proof in my
own heart, though had never loved an
other woman.
A popular writer has said that "to
have O face that can look beautiful for
those who love it, on whom it looks with
love, is enough for ordinary women"
Such face had Marie Linden; yet, dear
ly as loved her, L doubt if can con-
vey any clear impression of it to the
reader. Hazel eyes, auburn hair, and a
bright complexion, tell nothing-it was

Congressional Riches,

While writing this sentence, ! look across
! the street and see in front ola senator's
house the carriage of another senator. The
pair of bloOded horses cost some thousand
dollars. The gilded harness is in keeping.
The close, handsome shining coach is one
Of Benton's best, lined with silk velvet, and
graced with the choicest and thickest plate
glass. On the coachmans seat sit two Of
Gods creatures, called men one bright
muatto, the other q white man, and both in
livery. They sit in solemn silence, under
their gay robe Of furs ard gloves. Directly
the door Of the house opens, and two ladies
carrying poor mans fortune on their back,
descend the steps. The footman swings
down and opens the door, with an easy grace
the master cannot initiate. The door closes
with bang, the footman mounts, and the
coach rolls away. Well, it seems but yes
terday that the owner of all this came here
poor man.
We remember the fairy tale where the old
witch touched the pumpkin and turned it in
to a coach, and touched the rats and turned
them INTO horses. And so the ugly witch
Of the lobby touched the poor man, and out
of fraud came the coach, and out of theft
came the horses, and swiude drives, and
stealings, oil and burnish. Like that witch
could touch that man with this delicate lit,
| tie pen Of mine and carriage and horses,
coachman and tootman, would all disappear,
for honor aud honesty would claim their
own, and the very clothes would fall from
the backs Of wives and daughters.
And so, gentlemen, restrain your wrath
and thank the Lord we do not put in print
all that we know Washington CorrcSpoH

A Washington dispatch states that the
Presider, on Friday directed pardon to be
issued for DR.. Mudd, now confined at the
Dry Tortugas for being an accomphce IN
the murder Of President Lincoln. Efforts
are being made also to secure the pardon Of
Arnold and Spauger, the only remaining
prisoners now confined there on this charge.
There Is reason 10 believe that they will be
succcssrul, aud that before the close Of Mr..
J0hnson's tcsm the decision OF the supreme
court in the case OF MilIigau and BowIcs,
shat no military court could try and sentence
a private citizen, will bo carried out IN letter
and in spirit.
During the tendency Of the trial Of the
alleged conspiratOrs, in Washington, we
were present, one afternoon, and heard the
evidence strongest against DR.. Mudd given
by Il negro woman, one Of his slaves, When
brought upon the stand, Mr.. Bingham, as.
si-tant Judge Advocate, after the usual
question, about her name, &C., told her TO

ately she raised her left hand. "Your right

went the left hand. "lour OTHER hand,
Mary said Mr.. Bingham, and then, and not
until the third attempt, did she know her
light hand from her left. The testimony Of

How to Make Saddle Rock Oysters.

The NY. World says: THAT oysters are sub,
jet to manipulation by dishonest tradesmen
may surprise many of our readers. There
ia a trick Of the business, however, practis
ed by some on the unwary, which is perhaps
unequaled in meanness by any other small
dodge Of the kind. Large or fat oysters
bring the highest price in the market. There
are dealers selling at stalls by the quart, or
peddlIng by measure from door to door, who
buy up all the small, refuse stuff they eau
find aud soak it in a solution of soda. The
effect is to make the oysters swell up to a
remarkable size, and to inexperienced buyers
they can easily be paImed off as Saddle
Rocks" The fraud is not discovered until
the oysters are cooked, when, to the aston.
ishment of the houskeeper, the great, lusei
Gus bivalves dwindle into the most iusignih
cant and miserable dismensions The swell.
ing of oysters by means OF soda, aids the
dishonest FISHERMAN in two ways,--by turn.
ing them into imitation SADDLE Rocks and
by enabling him to FIJI his measure with a
much smaller number of oysters. Buyers
