A tPERsoNALn INcIDENT.--An amusing
incident occurred not fur from Princeton,
some time ago, wherein two young men and
two sisters, including the 'old gentleman"
were the actors. The gents professed love
for The SISTERS, and by letter asked the pfivi-
lege of clandestine meeting with them.
Tie girls were provoked at their imperii-
nence, and determined TO pay them of In
their own coin. They therefore answered
the letter granting the request, and said
they would be in their fathers barn at nine
O'Clock the next evening" II so happened
that a neighboling farmer had a horse stolen
n few nights before, and. without acquaint-
ing their father of the plot, suggested to him
that il would be good idea to keep watch
for few nights, lest the thieves might steal
some of their horses. The old gentleman
agreed with his daughters, and, at their sug-
gestion, loaded the gun with fine shot, and
went to the barn. Promptly at the appoln-
ted time, the would-be lovers made their ap-
pearance; and, believing them to be thieves,
the father treated them to the contents Of
his gun.-glving each fortunately lair share.
There was no stopping on the order OF going,
for they left at once, and that, too, as fast as
their smarlinG legs could carry them. Alter
they got away short distance, one Of them
stumbled and fell; and his comrade, fright
ened almost out of his wits, as he passed
him, shouted, "you're a dead manm II
must be confessed that these gents were vic
inns of misplaced confidence, and merited
the punishment they received. tfs,.

or more above the obstruction were in a
high state of inflammation. A perioraiion
was also found above the obstruction, and
il was the opinion OF tue physicians that
at the time he first called the doctor. IN
Tuesday, the 3lst day OF August, he made
this rupture, and that human skill could
avail nothing toward saving his life and
that when he lelt the severe pain few hours
before his death, after returning 10 his he'd,
he probably increased this rupture, bling
ing on immediate dissolution; that this
trouble had been coming on for some time
back, MIR. Fessenden having been a
sufferer from chronic diarrhea lor at least
a year past and that the few days before
the physicians were called, the constipation,
which he looked upon as favorable sign

British Consul nearest that port, with re-
quest that it be printed 1t was written 10

relating to Sir John Franklin and party.
The document was evidently cast in the

thing" The specially of General Hen
ningsen is artillery tactics, but he is at
home in every arm of the service, and in
his element whenever there is sword to
be drawn or people to be freed. Since
the close of the war, General Henning-
sen has been intimate with Generals
Grant and Sherman, and has, it is said,
been admitted to their full confidence.
This accounts for the fact that the vete-
ran General is at the head of the expe-
ditionary corps, and that it should have
been organized, shipped and landed
without hint to the outside world. This
time General Henningssn counts upon
success, as q means of csnceling his an
cient grudge against Spain resulting
from the Carlist war.
General Henningsen married, we be-
lieve, daughter of the late Senator
Berrien, of Georgia. Mrs. Henningsen is
an accomplished lady, and made hosts OF
friends by her noble conduct during the
war;
1t is very evident that these Cuban
movements cannet much longer be kept
secret, ard when all the truth is known
there will be an awful shaking among the
dry bones of the Spanish dominion.

Queen Emma at Home.

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Bulletin writes from Honolulu concern.
ing Queen Emma, whose visit to the
United States will be remembered:
| saw and recognized the once beauti-
ful and stil fine. looking Queen Of Kane
hameha III. saw her first at her sum-
mer residence in Nunanu Valley. She
reclined upon some mats and pillows iu
the oriental style. A broad veranda
made most refreshing shade, and as
she offered us dish of edible bark IA
little like slippery elm, but very tender
or some fruits, her grace and dignity
were sipgularly pleasing. She seemed
some pastoral goddess, born to rule her
faun-like subjects with love and gentle
ness, and, indeed she is such. Her only
coronet was Of wild flowers, which are
very generally worn here by both sexes,
and most becomingly so. Chains of
flowers and berries hung about her neck
also, giving out an agreeable odor.
There was no formslity observed, even by
her workmeD. whom she was overseeing
in person. Her gardener came at her
call, and sitting on the step Of the ve-
rauda, laughed and argued with her as
freely as possible; yet no one could feel
inclined to presume upon such m 1dest
dignity.

loving story in his reference to the battle
OF Bull Run,
The influence of our officers over their
men, and the state Of our discipline, is
best illustrated by an incident which oc-
Cured on the field in the heat of battle.
An officer, who has since become very
prominent and we'll known throughout
the country, was then in command Of d
brigade on the right of our line. While
riding over the field, be discovered a SOL
dier concealed in hole in the ground,
which was of just sufficieat dimensions
to afford him shelter. The General rode
up to him, inquired es to his regiment
and ordered him to join it at oace. The
man, looking him full in the face, placed
his thumb upon his nose and replied
+" No You den't, old fellow; you want this
hole Yourself"

State, and under such circumstances it
would be as useless for the Radicals to
make fight as it is for the Conservatives
now. They might poll every vote, exert
every nerve, reswear every league-it
would all alike be in vain, for by no pos
sibility could they overcome the tens OF
thousands of votes that such decision
would release from bondage.
Whether johnson will run for Governor
or not, in my opinion, and in the opinion
of all whom have spoken TO upon the
subject, depends upon the action of the
Supreme Court. But as Ia whether he
will stump the State or not, there is very
little ground to raise a question. He
will do that, no matter what the decision
in the franchise case may be, if health
permits-at least such is the opinion Of
ell his neighbors and friends here.
