A CRY Sold Our FOR TAXES. .-Pensa-
cola, Fla, has been sold out, and the
Joke is that she has bid herself in. The
carpet -baggers and scalawags who run
the city government had levied illegal
taxes that the city would not pay, and
the property was ppt up for sale for
taxes: Nobody would bid, and the city
bought in the property. The next
move, We suppose, will be to expel the
citizens from the property, and we shall
then see city without inhabitants. and
owned by corporation that has no con-
stituents.

OF merchant. A person might sup
pose that aIduel would be the .:conse.

nothing of the sort OCCURS. The hus-
band only writes the following letter to
the seducer: 'SIR: I have tried to rid
myself OF my wife for some time. I
must confess I was afraid of her. A
mad dog bit her q week ago. and was
waiting resignedly for the probable re-
suit You will now stand by her, and

SIGNS IN THE EAsT.-For many years
the Maine election has been looked upon
as sort of political barometer. Occur
ring early in the fall, its result has gene
rally indicated the extent of the changes
In public sentiment which have been
going on during the previous eight
months of the year. The sudden revo-
luton in its vote in 1856 foreshadowed
the conquest of the Northern States by
radicalisn. Maine has steadily adhered
TO the radical party until this year. It
has always been good for from 1000 to
$4,000 radical majority. Grant had
$4,000. The reduction of the majority
now to less than 5000 shows that the
party OF fanaticism and intolerance is on
its last legs. It foreshadows the con-
quest of the whole country by the Demo
cracy in October and November.

AGRICULTURAL FA1R-The Whining
ton Journal in speaking of the second
annual fair of the Cape Fear Agricultural
Association thus alludes to the general
good to be derived by holding fairs
throughout the country:
"We are satisfied that these annual
gatherings will do much to stimulate ag-
ricultural industry and encourage manu-
featuring enterprise. These meetings
of the bone and sinew of the land-tbe
producers of wealth-will give an intelli-
gent activity to farming operations,
without which the South will never be
prosperous.
'sThere no better way to introduce
improved and labor-saving machines,
aud make universal the use of natural
and manufactured fertilizers, than by
gaining at these fairs the experience of
those who have made practical and sue
cessful use of both"

thirsty, friends, drink; you arc welcome

a cupful in their honor. The soldiers
accepted with pleasure, and in few
minutes 400 men were writhipg on the
ground in agony. "Then the woman
of Stenuy' rose, and with her dying gasp
shrieking out, You are all poisoned!

is the legend Of Lorraine, and the me-
mory Of its heroine is revered by the
peasantry as that of Charlotte Corday.
Tho Tribune special ut Paris on Tues
day, writes: The ramparts are divided
into nine sections, each under IL sepa-

forts are garrisoncd by the National and
Mobile Guards, who are under stringent
military discipline. a line of troops is
stationed between the exterior forts and
the ramparts, supported by volunteers
and Provincial Mobiles. There is but
little confidence among the. officers that
the city can resist. The Government is
daily more anxious for peace.

'No bitter or harsh expression shall be

of the universe, and nothing shall be
said therein with regard to the chosen
people which might in the least offend

"Who was it that likened human be-

took in MI things?' 1 forget how it was
said, but it gave q good picture of man 8
omnivorous capacity" tits the late Mr.
Dickens you refer to. He has said a
great number of quiet sensible things in
his day. His words, in the instance you
allude to, were: II am worse than Noah's
Ark-of course / mean in my capacity
for taking in animals. I will suppose
that have reached the allotted term of
mans existenoc-three score and ten
that have been blessed with good di-
gestion, and that have devoured three
meals n day. Setting aside the forests of
vegetables have destroyed, the pano-
rama of my animal consumption would
take the regular exhibition period of two
hours to unroll. There I should stand
at one end like the Ark with open mouth,
While every living creature of the air,
the earth. or the sea, would move slowly
on in solemn procession, disappearing
within my ulldevouring jaws. The
weight Of my individual nourishmcnt in
tons would be something awful; its value
in sterling money might reach G10, 900;
aud in one-horse wagon loads it would
number perhaps from eighty to one hun
drcd. Not content with tho flesh oi
birds, BEASTS, fishes, reptiles, and insects,
must seize upon their bones, and feed

A DEAD MAN CONES TO LIFE AGAIN.
Yesterday morning, native of the

vited to tho wake last night, among them
young man temporarily employed rs n
watchman at one of tho hotels near

the name Of "Willie." The others hav-
ing withdrawn, willie was left alone
with his charge few minutes, and
amused himself by examining somo
pictures on the wall. Hearing noise
i'll the dead mans direction, the watch
man turned and was surprised to sec the
corpse ~ sitting bolt upright in the
coffin, with an astonished look Mt the
position in which he found himself.
This was enough for the watchman, who
Immediately made spring through the
second story window, taking with him
the lower sash, but fortunately not in
juring himself much, and ho made good
time up Seventh-strcet to tho hotel,
where he related what had happened,
and on being asked what the corps said,
replied that he did not stop to see.
Later in tho night he was induced to re.
turn to the house, to finish "the wake" "
but finding that they had taken the
corpse from his wooden overcoat" and
were making his joints supple by rub
bing, he returned to the hotel. This
morning it is reported that the dead man
is getting along very we'll, with pros

CHOLERA APPROACHING The awful
news of the approach of cholera reminds
us of an old insidious and unconquera-
BILE enemy. In Havana it is spreading
with frightful rapidly. There were
kfty-three deaths in one day and eighty
on another. The victims are taken from
all classes-from the aristocracy and the
chain gang-equally. In the shipping
in the harbor its ravages have been very
great, and letters dread lest the epidemic
make such headway as to fill the city
with mourning, and to take the populn-
tion off in countless numbers. In
France we hear of the cholera among
the German troops. In Southeastern
Russia it is rapidly extending. The
Journal de 81. Petersburg, of the 11th
inst, announces twenty-three cases and
ten deaths from the epidemic at Rostow,
and nine cases and four deaths at Kertch
The appearance Of the disease is also
announced at Odessa, in communica-
ton dated the 4th inst. The latest news
from Taganrog states that from the 25th
of June to the 18th of July, 11S cases of
the malady occurred in that town,
seventy-five of which ended fatally.
