ACCIDENT TO A WoIlD-HE BRIDE. An
accident occurred at the wharf on the arrival
| of the steamer from New York Saturday
evening, the result of which caused conflict
! ing emotions OF mirth and sadness a Young
| German named Schaffcr a cigar maker bV
trade, who has been living in New York,
had engaged to work in New Haven. Shat
fer had for six months been keeping company
with a young girl named Herman, whose
father was bitterly opposed to her marrying
any man whose circumstances required him
to earn his daily bread. When the lover an
nonced his determination of leaving the me-
tropolis, the young lady insisted that he must
take her with him. She said her parents did
not treat her as a daughter should be treated,
and that she could not live with them amy
longer. Her father probably suspected some
thing OF the kind, and accordingly locked up
his daughters clothes except what she had
on. Attired in Il common hat and a plain
calico dress, the girl left New York Saturday
with her intended, embarking on the steamer,
which landed them safely on the wharf at
eight O'Clock. In the meantime the father,
anticipating their movements, had taken the
train and reached New Haven before them
AS the couple came oft the wharf the Young
girl espied her father in the crowd, and to
keep him from seeing her ran under The cars,
which were waiting to convey the northWaru
bound passengers to their destination. She
might have eluded the parental search, but
fate destined it otherwise. The train moved
oil and one of the car wheels struck the girls
ankle and broke it very badly. She scream
ed aloud for hell and was fortunately rcscu-
ed from a horrible death. Her father discoy-
cred her. and put her in a hack and had
Schaller arrested. They were taken to po-
Schatler was released The Girl returned
with her father to New York on the boat.

luE NEGRO ARiAYED AGAINST THE CHI
NAMAN. The Washington Star says that let
tiers have been received in that city within a
day or two, stating there is pretty decided
feeling of discomfort amongst the colored
l;lborers in those localities in the South
where it is proposed to diaplace them by the
cheap Coolies. They Qhe colored men)
seem to think it pretty hard wien they have
Just emerged from slavery, and are Just be-
ginning to get fair wages for their labor,
that they are to be undcr-bd an, thrown out
OF employment by contract Cinnamon,
brought here from distance of thousands of
the colored men of the South will speedily
find expression in the shape of remonstrance
and petition to Congress for relief. 1t
would be rather a singular change of situa-
tons If Senator Sumner in his advanced
stand in behalf Of the yellow man should find
himself arrayed against the Black man.
HINTS TO WRITER'S Col T. W. IIigminson
says-'A good writer is in earnest he uses
common sense; he studies the mathematics
to acquire accuracy; physical health and out
door exercise give him freshness he studies
physical science for range of vocabulary; he
cultivates democratic allinities to get that
directness and pungcncy found among I'M
educated men; he seeks, also, cultivated
associations to keep him from slang; he has
a good memory: he is in the constant habit
OF translation; he needs an immensely of
patience, to follow his own standard and not
grow acrid or censorious.
ieally all l know is, that all have done
and thought for forty-three wears has cone
towards making me no worse a writer than
| am now and it still costs as much work as
ever on every paragraph. But ii is a work
| should like to do in heaven"
A correspondent of the NY. Herald writ
ing from Merrill Plantation, near New Or
leans, July 5, says:
The first days work of the Chinese in the
cane fields of Louisiana was entirely success
full. The hands showed themselves apt to
learn and docile to obey, and got through an
exceedingly good average days work with
no signs of fatigue despite a broilng sun.
Planters all over the State are investi@atlnr
the matter with q view of adopting Chinese
labor themselves This movement is al
ready giving such an impetus to rice and
sugar cultivation as cannot fail to be in the
highest degree beneficial to the State.
