From the San Francisco News Letter.
A California Obituary.

BOddlepOpster is desd! The bare
announcement will plunge the city
into unspeakable gloom. The death
of BOddlepOpster was most untimely;
he should have died twenty years ago.
Probably no man of his day has exert
ed so peculiar an influence upon So
ciety as the deceased. Ever foremost
in every good work out of which any
thing could be made,an unstinted dis
penser of every species Of charity that
paid a commission to the disburser,
Mr.. BOddlepOpster was a model Of
generosity, and weighed at the time
OF his death one hundred and ninety
odd pounds.
Originally born in Massachusetts,
but for ten years q resident of CalifOr-
MIA and partially bald, possessing a
cosmopolitan nature that loved a
York shilling as well, III proportion to
its value, as a Mexican dollar, the sub
iect of eur memoir was one whom it
was an honor to know, and whose
close friendship was luxury that on
" the affluent could afford. 1t shall
ever be the writer's proudest boast
that he enjoyed it at less than half the
USUAL IdIeS.
In 1868 he was elected an honorary
member of the Society for the Preven-
ton of Humanity 20 MOngOlians, and
but for the loss Of an eye in carrying
out its principles, would have been one
of the handsOmest Whites that ever
resided among us. There is little
doubt that he might have aspired to
any Office in the gift Of the peO-
pie, so universal was the esteem in
which he was held by those he voted
for. In an evil moment he was in
duced to associate himself in business
with the Rev. Albert Williams, and
though he speedily Withdrew from the
firm, he was never able to wholly
eradicate the disgrace from his con-
stitutiOn, and it finally carried him TO
his grave. His last words, as he was
snUffed out, were characteristic of the
man; he remarked: "Fetch me that
damn catnip tea % The eatnip con-
ISOLATION arrived too late to be Of any
use; he had gone to the devil. Fare
well, noble heart-pure sOil-bright
intellect We shall meet again.

A ROMANCE OF THE EAST.
How a Beautiful White Girl Became
the Slave OF Two Black Women, and
then the Wife OF Count Benedetti.

Louise Muhlbach, lin her Letters
from Egypt tells a very romantic
story about the wife of Count Bene-
detti, the French Minister PlenipOten-
tiary at the Prussian Court before the
outbreak of the present war:
A very rich Greek merchant, resi-
dent in Alexandria, had two black
wives, whom he loved dearly, and for
whose service he provided a large ret
inue Of beautiful girls. One of his
wives, one day, chanced to see a
charming white giri, and was so pleas
ed with her that she eOaxed her hus-
band into buying her. The beauti-
ful slave became a confidential ser
vsnt and companion to her negro mis-
stresses, and conducted herself toward
them in such a sagaciOus manner that
she became indispensable to them.
She sang to them, and gOssiped and
frolicked so gracefully that en1llti was
banished completely. She won their
affection, and through them, also, the
affection of her master, the venerable
Greek merchant.
But, unfortunately, the black wives
suddenly fell. sick one day, and before
they were both dead. Their
disease was known to nobody, and
they were hastily buried. The beau
tiful young slave, who had not left
their side for a moment during the
few hours of their illness, seemed in
consOlable. She did her best, howev-
er, TO assuage the grief of the ancient
merchant, ard in this way so endear-
ed herself to him that he adopted her
as his child and heir, since he was
just little too old to marry her. In
course of time, the venerable sage re-
Joined his wives in the other world,
and the fortunate nymph came into
possession Of his millions. At this
stage of her existence Count Benedict
ii, who was tnen only a penniless
dttdche to the French consulate at
Alexandria, offered her his hand and
heart, and having married her, with
the aid of her wealth cut for himself a
road to fame. In this way, she who
was once a slave to slaves, bcame a
star in the circles Of the French world
of fashion.

Melancholy Suieide-A Man Shoots
Himself on His Wlfe's Grave.

On Saturday afternoon aWell-dress-
ed man, about 26 years Of age, drove
up to the Lutheran cemetery, Middle
Village, and, showinga ticket, was ad-
mitted to the grounds, and directed TO
a grave which he said was the grave
of his wife. In a few minutes the at
tentiOn of the attendant was drawn to
the locality by the explosion of pis-
tOI, when it was ascertained that the
man had shot himself, his body fall
ing across the grave TO which he had
been directed. An inquest was held
yesterday by Coroner, ,,Tewksbury, OF
Hunters Point, when the following
facts were ascertained: T.: The name OF
the unfortunate man was Peter Smith.
He resided at 60 ThOTp avenue, Will
iamsburg, was a carpenter by trade, 26
years of age, and some weeks ago lost
his wife and only child by that terri
bic disease, smallpox, which has been
raging in that part Of Brooklyn the
past few months, since which time be
has been very diseOnsOlate, saying
that he would soon meet his wife
About noon he hired a horse and bug
gy, saying that he was going into the
country, when he deliberately drove
TO the cemetery and shot himself

Changing His Identify.

An amusing incident is related to
have occurred on the steamer Dexter,
on her last trip down the river. Just
below Vieksburg a family got on board
en- route for Texas. During the after
noon the pater familias concluded he
would enjoy the luxury Of a good
shave, shampoOing, ETC., and for this
purpose applied to the tOnsoriaI artist
of the Steamer. The luxury was
speedily supplied him; and, at his re-
quest, hair, eyebrows and Whiskers
were converted from a fiery red to ra-
ven blaekness by the use Of the artists
dye. The traveller was hugely pleased
at the idea Of surprising his wife at the
transformation, and hurried to de-
mand the price. Imagine his indig-
forfeit SO. He swOre he would never
pay it, and hurried to his state room
to buckle on his defensive armOr. But
he was met at the door by his spouse,
outraged by the intrusion Of strang-
er, as she supposed, and admittanee
refused. He called himself her hus-
band-she said he was an impOster.
He attempted to explain. Itwas use
less. A crowd gathered around, and
the laugh became general. At last
in his perplexity, the HoOsier ex-
claimed: "SalIie, look at my feet!'
One glance at the pedal appendages
assured her. ayes, JOHN" she said,
81 know them feet. They can come
in; but keep that head out Of my
sight. IN o. PieGgline.

How Small OUTLAWS Count.

Five cents each mOrning-a mere
trife. Thirty-fve cents per week
SIS % a year. And this amount in
vested iu a savings bank at the end Of
each year, and the interest thereon at
six per cent, computed annually,
would, in twelve years, amount to
more than $50. Enough to buy a
good farm in the West.
Five cents before each breakfast,
dinner and supper; you'd scarcely miss
it, yet tits fifteen cents day; S1.05per
week-S24 80 a year. Invest this as
before, and in twenty years you would
have over 5000. Quite enough to
buy a good house and lot.
Ten cents each morning; hardly
worth a second thought; seventy cents
a week-S36 50 in one year. Deposit
this amount as before, and you would
have 81, $40 in twenty years; quite a
snug little fortune. Ten cents before
each breakfast, dinner and supper
thirty cents q day-S2.l0 per week.
Enough to pay for years subscript-
ion to a good neWspaper-SlO9.29 per
year. And this amount invested as
before would in forty years produce
the desirable amount Of So, 900.
Bows learn a lesson. If you would
be a happy youth, lead a sober life,
and a wealthy and influential man
instead Of squandering your extra
charge, invest a savings bank--Er.

Just So.

At the recent Democratic blowout,
at Dayton, Mr.. Vallandigham was
brought from his retirement to fire off
a few rhetorical rockets in honor of
the immortal Jackson. After a long
harangue, he happened to notices few
cOlOred men among his audience, and
thinking it a good time to put in a
word for number one, he addressed
them as follows:
Some of you speak of me as an en-
emy OfyOur race. This is not correct.
Individually have been your friend.
l have taken you by the hand when
your white radical friends Stunned
and cursed you. At my doors some
Of you have received that charity, in
years past, which was denied YOU at
the hands of your Abolition friends,
so called. No colored man ever ask
ed personal favor of me for years
past, and was denied; and as well be-
fore as now, l would have protected
you in court or against a mob quite as
willingly and as earnestly as any 9TH
er man.
YoucannOt control things by votes.
Numbering several hundred voters
here, you are yet rather a source Of
weakness than of strength to the Re
publican party. And you owe moth
ing to that party, except a mere right
to try the experiment of suffrage
They did not confer it upon you for
your sakes, but for their own as parti-
sans and demagOgues. Loud cheers. |
They wanted your votes but to put
themselves into Office and keep them
selves III power. Beyond this they
care nothing for you. The mass of
you were personal slaves in the south
before and during the war. At the
point of the bayOnet they freed you,
only now to make you, if you submit,
political slaves for their own profit and
advancement. And now /, who owe
you nothing, politically, warn you
not to organize as cOlOred party. Be
ware of threatening or attempting to
make your own race act and vote as a
distinct body. If you do, then be as
sured that sooner or laterthe white
race will antagOniZe you as white
men; and here we are not twenty to
one. In a political struggle we can
Overwhelm you. In 2 cOntestOf arms
in war of races, if you provoke it
we can crush out and eXterminate
you. Wherefore be wise in time.
If there are any eolOred voters weak
enough to be caught by such ehaf as
this, the Democracy is welcome to
their votes.

Some mischief-loving girls of Bal
laret, Australia, have been indicting
notes to well-known gentlemen, tax
ing care to select those of fine person
al appearance, requestingan interview
for the purpose of making an aequaint-
ance "that has long needed only the
ceremony of an introduction, anxiety
to know you being only an eXcuse,n
&c. Twenty or thirty gentlemen
have been invited to the same place
at the same time, and the hoax has
been repeated again and again, new
ones being selected for victims, though
in some instance those duped have
been invited again. Ex-officials, high
military officers, Government en-
ployes, brokers, lawyers, merchants,
musicians, singers and dashing clerks,
have been the victims of these mis-
chievOus girls. Some went to the ex-
pense of carriages, so as to be conceal
ed while watching for the fair un-
known, and others were more bold in
driving up in open buggies, while one
exercised his ingenuity in finding
means of waiting without betraying
his purpose by taking a seat on box
with a friendly driver of a wagon
etanding there as if waiting for orders.
The girls, meanwhile, probably miles
away from the rendezvous, or careful
" concealed behind window blinds in
the neighborhood, enjoyed the joke
they had succeeded in playing on the
sterner sex, and hunted the directory
for lot of new names for the next
haul of victims. Some of the recipi-
ents of notes did not go to the rendez-
vOus, but replied through the "per-

MY LEGACY.

| They told me was heir. ! turned in haste,
And ran 20 seek my treasure,
And wondering as ran how il was placed
II should ind a measure
or gold, o. IL the titles OF fair lands
And houses would be laid within my hands.
1 Journeyed many roads; 1 knocked at gates;
/ spoke TO each wayfarer
met, and said "a hermitage awaits
Ne. Art thou the bearer
1 OF newsg Some message sent me, whereby
/ learn which way my new possessions lie?
Some asked me in; naught lay beyond their
dOOB;
Some smiled and could not tarry,
But said that men were just behind who
bore
More gold than could carry:
And so the morn, the noon, the day, were
spent,
While, empty-handed, up and down 1 went.
At Last one cried, whose face 1 could not see,
AsthrOugh the mists he hasted;
''POor child, what evl ones have hindered
thee,
TIL this whole day is wasted?
Hath no man told thee that thou art joint
heir
With one named Christ who waits the goods
TO share?
The one named Christ 1 sought for many
days
In many places, vainly;
] heard men name his name in many ways !;
saw his temples plainly;
Bat they who named him most gave me no
sign
To and him by, or prove the heirship mine.
And when at last I stood before his face,
knew him by no token,
Save subtle air Of joy which filed the place;
Our greeting was not spoken.
In solemn silence received my share.
Kneeling before my brother and '.joint
heir"
Ny sharel No need Of house or spreading
lands,
As l had dreamed; no measure
Heaped up with gold; my elder brothers.
hands
Had never held such treasure.
Foxes have holes, and birds in nests are fed,
My brother had not where to lay his head.
My sharei The right, like him, TO know all
pain
Which hearts are made for knowing;
The right 20 find in loss the surest gain;
To reap my joy from sowing
In bitter tears; the right with him to keep
A watch by day and night with all who
weep.
My sharel To-day men called It grief and
death,
see the JOY and life to-morroY;
thank my Fathermy every breath
For this sweet legacy OF sorrow;
And through ny tears call to each: "Joint
heir
With Christ, make haste to ask him for thy
share"
