How Stnrfsh Ent Oysters.

Wherever the oyster appears IN suffl-
cieut quantities, there men are ready to
consume them as fast as they can DO
procured; but the poor, unselfish oyster
has enemies nearer home, in his own
native element and close upon its bor-
ders. The arch enemy is the sleepy,
stupid looking stariish, the Master Five
fingers of our boys, who eat them as
spat, or when grown to considerable
size. These greedy devourers have the
curious power of rolling themselves up
and floating away, so that they appear
and vanish again, no one knows how.
But all of n sudden, and often
at the very time when the sauguine
fisherman gets ready to reap rich
harvest from we'll stocked oyster
bank, he finds npon coming to the
grounds that the foe Las been there be-
fore him, and millions of starishes have
settled down like flock of wild pigeons
on n field of wheat. Generally they
prefer the spat, or very young oyster,
which they take whole into their capa-
cions meuth, and there digest it slowly.
But how do these tender, fragile crea-
tures manage to get at the full grown
mollusc in its impregnable fortress I
The ancients had a story that they
watched it until they found it incau-
tiously yawning, and then slyly slipped
their greedy fingers between the valves
to keep them open, while they devoured
the contents. This is, OF course, a mere
fable, as the soft, Shiny fingers would
be squeezed off in an instant,
even if the starGsh were not famous for
falling to pieces by immediate suicide
as soon as it is brought into contact
with hard substance. Its murderous
assault is far more curious. The first
step in the process is for the enemy to
lie close upon its prey, folding its slimy
arms tightly over, so as to hold it in its
right position. Then it applies its
mouth closely to the victim, and as it
cannot, by any force of its own, put the
oyster into its stomach, it deliberately
proceeds to put its stomach into the
oyster. 1t begins slowly but steadily to
push out this organ through the mouth,
and wraps the mollusc III the folds OF
that capacious bag; patience always
does its work and in due time the ma
tive surrenders to the devourer.

A Disgusting Case
Marriage of Negro TO n Pretty
white woman-Natural Result of
Oberlin Teachings.

A strange couple came up from Erie,
on the Lake Shore Road, Saturday
eveuing-exciting the disgust and in
tense curiosity of every passenger in
the car. 1t comprised sooty, greasy
negro, and pretty white girl, whom
he had married the day before at Erie.
The girl evidently felt a great deal OF
shame at her situation, for she kept her
self doubly yelled, and looked out of
the car all the time. Her OthellO, how
ever, was all passionate tenderness and
attention. We have learned the ante
cedents of the pair, which we lay before
our readers:
On Thursday, tall, gaunt, very black
negro, about forty years of age, regis
tered at the Morton House, Erie, as
civilian Lindsey and wife, Ohio" He
requested the laudl ord to give him the
bes: room in the house, as his wife
would arrive on the next train and join
him. His "wife" not putting in an ap-
pearance by the next morning, he went
to Oberlin after her. 1t happened that
the girl-Carrie Brown by name-how-
ever, was en- route for Erie to join her
lover (ugh y, and the train that he was
on passed hers. Arriving at Erie, and
learning the state of affairs, Carrie re-
mained in the depot till evening, when
Lindsey returned from Oberlin.
They then went to the hotel and ask
ed to be shown to his room. The land.
lord asked the negro if the lady with
him was his wife. Andrews answered
him in the affirmative. The landlord
then interrogated the lady, who was a
beautiful young Irish girl. She said
| they Were not get married, but that they
had come for the purpose of being mar
ried. The two were then told that they
must produce certificate of marriage
before they could occupy room to-
gether whereupon they called upon the
Rev. Mr. Nutting, of Erie, and were
married, The girl said she came from
Boston, Mass; that she had been living
in the family of Prof. Allen, of Ober-
lin, and attending school; that she
there met this man, her present hus-
band, William Delaney alias William
Lindsey. He says he is a Wesleyan
Methodist preacher. Prof. Allen knew
of her leaving to marry the negro, and
was in favor of her marriage. They left
Erie on Saturday morning for Oberlin
The bride is n very pretty girl, and was
we'll dressed. She says her parents live
in Boston. She has been in Oberliu
since October last. The girl is about
eighteen or nineteen years OF age. De
Lancy wore tall stovepipe hat ant
carried cotton umbrella in his hand

Jomes Bowie aud Henry Clay.

R,verdy johnson used to tell story
of Henry Clay, dpropos of himself. l
think in some previous letter | have
told YOU that Reverdy married Mary
Bowie, cousin of James, or "Jeems"
Bowie, the inventor of the Bowie knife.
One day Henry Clay, who had arrived
in Frederick, Maryland, by stage coach
from Wheeling, met Reverdy johnson
in the street. ,
Reverdy," he said, 81 have just had
an extraordinary acquaintance back
here at Cumberland. A man got half
my seat in the stage coach, a little,
knotty, freckled fellow, and on the next
seat were a man and his wife, on the
third seat couple of big meH.
We had no sooner started and got
clear of Cumberland than one of the big
men on the forward seat lit a cigar. he
pulled and puffed, till in little while
the stage coach was full of strong fumes
and the woman grew very sick. She
asked her husband to raise the win
dow, and, still unable to bear the
smoke, told him she must lean upon his
lap.
The husband leaned over and said to
the big man:
"My wife is sick. Please do not smoke
by her side"
The big man smoked like blast Chin
ncy and paid no heed whatever. The
woman grew fainter and coughed. My
blood was boiling, but knew the man
could double me up and throw me out
OF the window.
suddenly the little being at my side
leaned forward, pulled bowie-knife
out OF his coat collar, and said to the
Yes, you damned sonofapussycaton.
thetemalesidei l am James Bowie
Throw away that cigar, or I'll split you
into half apples"
"The man" concluded Mr.. CLAW
dropped the cigar like an automaton
and We had not word spoken for thirty
miles"

Chinese Testimony Ruled Out In san
Francisco.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
Several days since soldier named
Cunningham was arrested for stabbing
a Chinamau. He was brought before
Judge provinces for examination, and
the wounded Chinaman was offered as
witness against him. To this the pris-
oner's counsel objected, and the Court
expressing wish to hear argument on
the matter, the case was coatinued.
Yesterday afternoon the question of the
competency of such testimony was ar
pued at length by Louderback for the
prosecution, and Zach. Montgomery for
the defence. The former contended that
under the Fourteenth Amendment to
the Federal Constitution and Civil
Rights Bill all persons, regardless
of race or color, and not other
wise disqualified, are competent wit
nesses, and entitled to the same rights
and privileges in courts of justice. The
case was finally taken under advise
ment, and this morning Judge provinces
rendered his decision excluding the Chi
nese witnesses. He held that the Con-
stitutional Amendment refers only TO
citizens, and was not intended to inter
fere with or abrogate any of the rules
of evidence established by the laws OF
the States. Cinnamon are not citizens,
and consequently the law of the State
excluding their evidence in cases where
white men are parties must be consld-
cred in full force. AS the present case
depends on white mems testimony also,
il was continued for further eXamlna-

The PInred.Out Wickedest NIan
From the New York Tribune.I

TOil luC ~NSn iOih tAAouAN'l
John Allen has closed his house, as a
clearinghouse, and has become very
dogged, sullen and silent. He is disap-
pointed with tho turn affairs have
taken, and is angry with himself and
with his neighbors. His old business
has been entirely ruined, partly by ex-
posure and partly by his attempt to play
off missionary by his pretended CONVEX
sion. Between these two stools, John
Aliens dance house has fallen to the
ground. He is said, however, to have
saved a great deal of money out of
his infamous business; quite enough
to keep him very comfortably for
the remainder of his days. He
is q tall, powerfully-built man,
about thirty-fve years of age, but with
a hang-dog, brutal cast of countenahce.
He was unable to ask us into his house,
as his wife was drunk, and when in that
condition she is always very quarrel
some. Every one in the street abuses
John Allen, and expresses a pious wish
that he may go to the devil as soon as
possible, or anywhere else, as long as he
takes himself off; so said Mr. Tommy
Hadden. They seem to think that as
long as the Wickedest Man in New York
remains among them, so long will the ag.
itation against their infamous mode OF
earning a living continue; but that, If
Allen could be got out of the way, the
outcry against them would soon cease.
Allen, without intending to do so, has
certainly done more to injure the bust
ness of these Sailors Retreats" than
all these missionaries put together. He
has, fortunately for the poor sailors,
opened their eyes to the frauds practiced
upon them, taught them to be more
careful of their own interests, and made
them more shy than formerly of going
to these places. His neighbors feel this,
and bless him accordingly.

The Democrats are under obligations
10 this city to nominate good tickets on
Saturday and Monday night. The peo-
ple of Wheeling have for several years
entrusted to that party entire charge
os their local affairs. There is scarce
~ an office from the highest to ths
Lowest which the Democrats have not
had the honor of filling. Whatever
of credit there may lie in being made
the recipi,pts of the fullest popular
confidence, the Democrats have ENJOY
ed. 1t would be a poor requiial no"
10 ignore the meritorOus and put ior-
ward the Incapable, as candidates for
the varioug positions under the city
Government. Sach course wonld In
dicate little regard, if it did not argue
positive contempt, for the wishes anu
Interests of the people at large.
We are satisfied that it is the desire
of the Democratic party to administer
the local affairs committed TO its charge
in the best possible manner aud through
the beat possible men. But this can
not be done by resolute inactivity
wbsn the nominations a re being made.
Good tickets are seldom the result oil
accident. 1t will not do to trust 10
chance. Weeds and tares are yolun-
teers that come of themselves; but Ia
bor is necessary to the production OF
the golden ear.
There is just one way in which party
can command the confidence of the peo-
ple. That is 10y deserving it. but VIII
sucb be the case if the men of worth, IN
fluence and solidity in the Democratic
party leave the working of the party
10 accident, impulse, or something
worsei What, for example, would be
the public spirit of men who could
neglect the important duties OF next
Saturday night, and permit Council
10 be nominated for this city by half q
dozen persons in each Ward who may
casually straggle to the place of meet
ing, and without consultation, thought
or care, select as candidates the very
first men whose names may happen ts
be presented We beg the Democrats
of this city TO consider this matter, and
act as duty plainly requires.
And if considerations of political du-
ty have no weight, we beg the tax pay
ers to remember that there is question
ofmouey, possibly much money, involv.
ed in this business. You can't have
economy ard prudence in yonr Govern
ment without you have economical and
prudent men TO administer it. If you
won't help to nominate such men, what
right have you to expect people who
have not the same interest ut stake as
Yourselves to nominate them for youf
Thiak of this, and go to the primary
meetings on Saturday night.
