How little do lovely women know what
awful beings they are in the eyes of mex
perienced youth. Young men brought up
in the fashionable circles of our cities smile
at this. Accustomed to mingle necessarily
il female society, and to have the romance
of the heart deadened by thousand frivo-
lous tiirtations, women are nothing but
women in their eyes; but to susceptible
youth like myself brought up in the coun-
try, they are perfect divinities. - Wa8hinq-

sCciabiIity Of American Women.

10 a stranger, American women are nat
urally the most agreeable acquaintance
he can find III the sex. The ready friendlj-
ness of manner which they display, the
frank and warm cordiality which dispenses
with nearly all the slow prelminaries of
acqualntanceship with nearly all the formal
interchange of conversational sign and
counterSign- all these peculiarities make
the society OF American women especially
delightful and attractive to u visitor and a
foreigner, who, having no time for the
gradual and slow Formation of friendship,
finds himselfin this respect more fortunate
than in any country III the world. | can

1 DO not know why it is that, wbera SO
many men are habitually silent, all the
women should be so exuberant in conver-
sational power; but my experience certain-
ly is, that in most American circles, wheth-
er of town or country, the ''frais of con-
versation will be left to the wife, the sis
ter or the daughters. Woman is much
more of recon1zed power, she f.amcunte

legitimate right to hold her own opinion
in everything. She is not supposed, when
married, to merge her existence into he,
husbands as an English woman is at least
supposed to do. She shines with her owl
light, not with that reflected from her hus
band; she is sun, and not q satellite
Even in old fashioned and almost puritan

of marriage relations have not penetrated

On Tuesday evening, a gentleman
named Adams, from Evansville, Ohio,
while visiting in Gibson County, got
on the down mail train, with a friend
intending to go to Haubstadt, and
visit a sister residing there. On ar
irving at Haubstadt. they got off the
forward end Of the forward coach,
while conductor Ferry was assisting
some lady passengers off the rear
coach. Just as the train started, one
gentleman said to the other. I'VE got
off on the wrong side; let's go on the
other side" and attempted to cross
over the platform of the coach; but
in the darkness, Adams foot slipped.
and in falling. lie was caught between
the train and the station platform,
aud crushed to death. No blame can
be attached to the employees on the
train, as the passengers we're all safe
ly landed on the platform before the
train started. We understand his
remains will be taken to his home in
Ohio. An inquest was being held on
his remains as yesterday morning S

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. - A young
lady, named Anna Morris, said to be
very respectfully connected. attempted
to commit suicide on Tuesday even
ing, by taking morphine. Doctors
Rourk and Smith were called to at
tend her, and by great effort she was
restored to consciousness, and is now
in a fair way to recover.
She has for some time been afflicted
with a nervous affection that has
caused her to act very strangely, and
it is believed has induced the habit of
taking morphine in considerable
quantities.
She yesterday expressed great re-
greet for the attempt at suicide, and
promised not to repeat it. She is
said to be a young woman of some
beauty. Her attempted suicide
can only be attributed to mental de-
rangement.

a PETRIFIED SNAKE.-Mr. G. G.
Genung. chief engineer Of the E. & G.
Railroad, has at his ofice, in this city,
what appears to be petrifed snake.
1t was taken from the Currysville
Coal Mines. Sullivan County, ninety
miles north of this city. where it was
found at depth Of 173 feet below the
surface, on vein of coal 4 feet 8
inches thick, and beneath a stratum
of soap stone about 40 feet thick,
which rests on the coal bed.
The snake is six feet long, and
girts II inches at It's thiekest part. A
piece is missing from the upper part,
that if present, would probably in
crease the length considerably.
The shape of the specimen " is
irregular. A depression or fattening
near the head gives it the appearance
of having been struck by some large
aud heavy object. The head is like
that of an eel, while the tail resem.
bles that Of fish. 1t is spotted all
over with little spots, darker in color
than the rest of the surface. some Of
the spots being slightly indented.
The petrifaction is soap stone, ash
colorad, and is easily broken. Some
persons who have viewed it pronounce
it afroot, but this is hardly probable
the absence of any ibres or branct
roots seeming to preclude that idea.
The scientific are invited to make al
examination Of it.
Dir. Genung has. also, some in,
fue specimens of ferns taken from the
same vicinity.
