A Pen PICTURE OF JESUS CHRIsr.-The
following is copy of a manuscript in the
possession of Geo. w. BuIchel. of this
city, which has been in his family for many
y. ars, and which is claimed to have been
taken by Napoleon from the public re-
cords of Rome, when he despoiled that
city of so many valuable manuscripts. 1t
purports to have been written by Prulius
Lemullus, Governor of Judea, to the Ro-
man Senate. 1t reads thus:

DID STANTON COMMIT SuIcIDE.-The
across Democrat still persists in its
assertion that Edwin NJ. Stanton commit
ted suicide. It says:
He died in the third story of a house.
No one was allowed to see the corpse. He
was not laid in state, as the hand of the
War Department should have been-as
other men of prominence are. He died,
and was kept from sight. And none Of
those who called to see the remains of the
great statesman" could obtain view of
the corpse. In vain did his friends urge
that the body be laid in state in the War
Department. His grave-clothes were
made to cover up his face. He was a
member of the Episcopal Church, and that
church denies to suicides graves under its
prayers and protection. And to have
made known the manner OF his death would
have been the casting him out from church
rites and Christian burial. And this would
have had great political effect, and so a
consultation. called at II o'clock at night,
was held, and it was decided that 'the
truth must not be known
"And again, why was his body taken up
quietly the week after interment, and
another put in its place? Simply that the
manner of his death might never be
proven"

The Most Devoted Wife.

Many who pa s along Plum street daily
are familiar with the face and form of a
middle-aged woman who is almost always
standing on the corner of LongwOrth
street, and many know her story. The
newspapers have alluded to it frequently.
Her husband went to the war, and, it is
supposed, was killed. At any rate he has
never been heard from. Constant anxiety
upon the subject has affected her mind,
and day by day she has watched in that
self-same spot for his return. AS soon as
daylight appears she is at her post, and,
with the exception of brief intervals, she
remains there until the lamps are lit at
night.
It is one of the most remarkable in-
stances of devotion and constancy that We
have ever known. The woman Is dressed
in dress of dark stuff, and is enveloped
in shawl that is neat though somewhat
worn. A dark hood covers her head, from
which an anxious, sunburnt face looks
out, as she scans every passer-by. There
is worn and wearieu look about her, and
no one can observe her, knowing her sad
story. without feeling the kindly touch OF
sympathy. She stands there through cold
and storm and rain, and when the sum.
mer's sun beats fiery hot upon her head
looking in vain for the return of him who
comes not any more. She will not believe
him dead, and may continue ner fruitless
watch for years yet.

wagon, whose stand is at the corner, re
garding her. He says be has seen he1

LIAR ADVENTURE.

LIAR ADVENTURE.
A young Irish woman, not of PROPOSES
sing appearance, met on the Jersey boat,
ii, New York city, on the afternoon of the
5th inst, young man whom she claimed
as her long lost husband. AS this young
man, whose name was VIM. Smith, had
never been married. he had a nervous
dread OF a woman, and when he found he
was claimed, body and soul, by u lady,
with face ON one side, and an upper
range of prominent teeth, he remembered
he had a friend in the engine room of the
boat whom he had net seen lately, and to
the recess thereof he very speedily dived.
This did not battle or take off the scent the
female pretcnder. When he left the ferry
house the girl he had left behind him was
there to greet him. He found that to con-
vince woman against her will was more
than he was equal to. All that he could
say, either in the way of chaff or sober.
earnest talk, left her of the same opinion
still. AS they created u disturbance in
the streets, and the woman's pertinacity
only increased Instead of diminished, the
officer on post was Obliged to bring the
pair before Justice Hogan ut the TOmbs
Police Court.
At the time of their arrival the Justice
was engaged with a case in the Examina-
ton Room, and Mr.. Charles Wall, the
chief clerk, with characteristic chivalry
towards the fair sex, took the pair and the
policeman into the sergeant's room of the
court. There the young woman was ask
ed if her husband had any private marks
upon him by which he could be identified,
and she replied that on his arm she re-
membercd seeing scratch" or "blister."
Upon hearing this Mr.. Smith Dulled off his
coat, barred his arms, and, evidently en-
joying the novelty of his position, stretch
| ed them ont as witnesses that he was not
the lawful rib of the deceived damsel be-
fore him. you're the man, though - ex-
claimed Mrs. Simpson. "You married me
about two years ago, and left me three
weeks after we were married. / am sure
you're the man."
By this time the Justice had assumed
the judicial chair Mrs. Simpson told her
story. Mr. Smith said he was never mar
ried in Iris life, gave his name and adj
dress and the history of his life, and with
evident truthfulness. This only increased
the lady's positiveness, and she gave an
| address in Front street where they board
! ed atthe time they were married.
Justice Hogan think you're mista-
ken, madam; but if you will go with the
policeman and the man to the boarding
house, perhaps they will identify hrm, and
yon can come back and give me the result
In about half an hour they returned
Mr.. Smith was not known at the boarding
house, and could not be recognized as the
gentleman who married this Opinionated
lady. Mr.. Smith was released. but Mrs.
Smith went away convinced that she had
been defrauded by the Justice out of a
lawful husband.
