The Experience Of q Chicago Lawyer.
New York (July 2O) Correspondence Of the Mobile
Register

New York Guly 9O) Correspondence Of the Mobile
Register.
THINK remarked in my last letter that
l once met a Chicago laNyer who warmly
advocated marriage, and who explained to
me his reason for SO doing. For such q
man to advocate such thing was, to say
the least, surprising; and l listened with
breathless interest while he gave me o
brief history of his experience during the
first ten years of his residence in that eel
ebrated city.
Said he: "I first came to Chicago fif
teen years ago. Then was young and In.
nocent which It is hardly necessary for me
20 say that ain not at present I had a
friend living here, whom / had known
while he resided in New Y0fh, and con-
Quoted himself like civilized man in q
civilized Community. As he had written
to me to visit himself and his wife, when
came to Chicago, remembered the invita-
ton when did visit that city, and imIiie-
diately on my arrival proceeded to his
house He was not at home at the moment
and so / asked to see his wife, whom 1 had
known only year before in New York
In answer to my inquiry for Mrs. De Worse
pretty, black-eyed girl came into the
drawing room, and received me quite
warmly.
"Well, we chatted very pleasantly to-
gether until my friend came in, and really
felt myself beginning to experience a very
affectionate impulse toward her; supposing
of course that she was his niece, or cousin
or uncle, or something of that sort. But
in the course of the evening asked hin
whether his wife was at home, and If 81
when he proposed to let me see her?
"Tomy astonishment, he replied, 'Thi!
lady is Mrs. De Vorse! 1 thought yor
were already aware of the fact
"Of course blushed and felt horribly
uncomfortable, and said that was no
aware that he had lost poor Emily.
"O,' said he, Emily is very well, ant
has married partner of mine. We wer'
divorced, you know, about six months age
and married my present wife only las

swell, I didn't feel quite so affectionat'
toward her after that, for l had beer

4 Butter Story.

In 1888, family by the name of Van
Sickler moved into the town of Towanda,
Pa, and took up as residence place for
merly occupied as a hotel On the premises
was deep well, originally dug by, or for,
of building or stoning up the well, a stone
lord about ten feet down for the purpose
of depositing in cool place butter, beef,
and such other articles as might be consid-
cred necessary to its preservation. The
newcomers on the place-the Van Sick
lers-soon detected, or thought they did,
the presence of decaying wood in the wa
ter, and it was decided to have the well
cleared out Accordingly two old patriots
were detailed for that service. Their COM
bined efforts, after few hours labor, re-
suited in fishing up butter firkin tightly
sealed but black with age, and its old
slaves nearly rotten through. Mr.. Means,
the old landlord, long since retired from
business, and then residing short dis
tance from the place, was sent for and
came down, white-haired and venerable,
bearing on his cane. After looking at it a
moment, the old man said he could explain
the whole matter. The tub had been let
down on the stone shelf long years ago
when he kept the hotel. As
near as he could remember, it
was over thirty years previously. The
tub had disappeared in the night, and it
was supposed that it has been stolen. The
well had never been cleared out before to
his knowledge. The tub was now opened
in the presence of the little crowd that had
gathered. The lid was removed, the
white linen cloth taken up, and there was
the butter, yellow as gold, and, as it
proved on tasting, sweet as if made but
yesterday, although thirty-one years had
elapsed since it first went to the bottom of
the well where it was now found, like
Truth, unimpaired by its long residence.
The old man claimed the prize and carried
it off rejoicing. Witnesses are still liv-
ing who were present at the time, who
will, with our informant, make affidavit
to the truth, in every particular, of this
true butter story. In those days butter
was only worth from six to twelve cents
per pound; now see the diference-sixty
fiTe 70 eighty cents, and not the best at
that.-ErchdnJ6:

Singular Case of Instinct i'm a Horse.

We do not remember ever to have heard
of more remarkable exhibition of equine
intelligence than was communicated to us
few days since by Mr.. Allen, of this
place. The circumstances, as they were
related to us, were as follows:
Mr.. A. has had for a considerable time
span of sprightly little horses that he
has never separated. In the stable, in the
field, in the harness, they have always
beef t5sether This has caused a strong
attachment to grow ry between them. A
few days ago he went with Tier, out to
Lake MinnetOnka on a fishing excuf-
sion Taking them out of the carriage
he led them down to the lake and tied
them with stout ropes, several rods
apart on a strip of grass that grew
upon The sliUfe; and left them, to feed. Re-
turning to the shanty lie tlifew himself
upon the floor tc await the return of the
party who had repaired to the lake to
fish. Not much time had elapsed before
the sound of an approaching horses feet
attracted his attention, and a moment al
ter one of his span appeared at the door.
The animal put his head In, and, giving
one neigh, turned, and at slow gallOp,
vet iirider evident excitement, returned to
the spot where but d few minutes before
he and his companion had been fastened.
Surprised TO find his horse loose, and
struck with his singular conduct, Mr.. A.
Immediately followed and found the other
lying in the water entang1ed III the rope,
and struggling to keep his head from be-
ing submerged.
While Nj. 4. proceeded to disengage
the unfortunate horse his ii6t,e henefactOr
stood by manifesting the utmost solicltude
and sympathy, and when his mate was ex-
tricated from its perilous situation and
again upon its feet the generous creature
exhibited the most unquestionable signs
Of satisfaction and Joy.
That this intelligent animal should have
noticed the misfortune of his mate, that he
should know where to apply for rescue,
and in his efforts should sunder three
fourths of an inch rope, and, finally, that
he should exhibit so high an appreciation
of the event, are circumstances to astonish
us and commend themselves to the thought
full consideration of those who would limit
the power of reasoning to the genus homo.

To Preserve q Bouquet.

WHEN bouquet is received, l at once
sprinkle it lightly with fresh water, and
then put it in vessel containing soap suds.
This will keep the flowers as freshly as il
just gathered. Then every morning take
the bouquet out of the suds, and lay il
sideways-the stock entering first-into
clean water, replace it in the soap suds
and it will bloom as fresh as when frs,
gathered. The soap suds needs changing
every three or four days By observing
these rules, bouquet may be kept bright
and beautiful for at least a month, and
will last still longer in a passable state

Manufacturing Popularity.

A letter from Paris in the New York
Times says that much of the enthusiasm
exhibited toward the Emperor Napoleon
and the Empress, while in. the public
places of the city, is manufactured, and
comes from persons specially engaged and
paid for the purpose. The government
has in its pay body of 1 200 men, who
precede or accompany the Imperial family
on all its expeditions They receive about
So day besides their travelling expenses,
and they continually change their dis
guises so as to avoid observation. Their
business is to prepare Tor the reception OF
their Majesties, to get up an enthusiasm
when the population is discOntented or in
different, to watch for the first evidence of
plots against the life of the Emperor, and
to surround his person when they have
reason to apprehend that an attempt is
about to be made against il. This force is
quite distinct from what is called the secret
police, and has a separate organization
and chiefs of its own. When, therefore,
the Minister talks of "the noble example
of courage and confidence" which was
given by their majesties on the occasion
| of the recent riots, the fact was that at
every step of their progress they were sur
rounded by little army of spies and de-
tenders, who not only made themselves
hoarse with cheering, but kept a lynx-eyed
watch on the movements of all the per-
sons in the crowd whose manner or ap-
pearance suggested motives for suspici6 n.

of Poland who pretends to be Our Savior,

He has selected twelve followers, who go
about the country with him as apostles,
and he pretends, in the usual manner of
such people, to work miracles. He devotes
himself particularly to the healing of the
sick. All this has had great effect upon
the Polish peasantry; the would be
prophet and his followers have been every

their indifference to the rising of 1858, calls
upon them to repent and prepare for new
efforts, and prophecies the speedy re-
establishment of the old Polish Kingdom.
