A MATRIMONIAL STRArAr,EM,-Af few
evenings since, says the New Orleans
Picayune, just as Justice Evans wa.
leaving his Office, he was confronted
oy two Charming young ladies who
requested n private interview. Con-
quoting them into his office, the bland
magistrate inquired In what way he
could oblige them. "You are q Jus
tice of the Peace, are you not? }" the
eldest, and by far the prettlest of them,
inquired. Eyes" lie said. land
can marry people-that is, can marry
a lady?" Well, yes, If the lady
brings a bridegroom along with her.
I'm not a married nan myself" re-
Joined tho trembling magistrate, fear
ful lest his own freedom was involved
In the issue. "Oh. not at ALL" said
the damsel, and turning to her COM
panion continued, ~ reckon, Willie,
you can strip of those toys" No
sooner said than done; the young
lady's companion commenced to tear
OF her dress with a haste that promised
speedy nudity. Inexpressibly
shocked TOR the Judge Is a very modest
man, he turned to escape from the
room, when a second glance he could
not restrain revealed to him the fact
that the supposed young woman then
stripping off her female gear was not
a girl, but a strapping boy, who had
used the disguised to get his dulcinea
in the presence of q magistrate. Of
course this explained the situation, and
without more ado the Judge proceeded
to join them In the holy bonds until
death or divorce courts should sever
Them" In remuneration for his
trouble, the bride gave him a smacking
kiss, and went OH her way rejoicing.

MATRIMONIAL FEILcITIEs.-At o late
hour Sunday night special Jackson was
sitting on a box on j street, near
Eighth, waiting, like Micawber, for
something to turn up, and presently II
turned. A man and woman in loud
conversation came along Eighth street
from the direction Of Il. As they
reached the corner of j street the man
broke and ran, the woman giving a
yell and pursuing him, Jackson bring
Ing up the rear. Before the man had
ran half a block his pursuer caught up
to him, and drawing of a Ia Heenan,
gave him a blow which knocked him
down, exclaiming: You sou Of -!
Ill learn you to run away from me !
III have n divorce In the morning"
He got up and they walked Off to-
gether, In company with Jackson, who
inquired the cause of the difficulty, but
only learned that they had been mar
ried three months. At Sixth aud l
streets the husband told jackson that
he and his wife had then reached home
and wanted to 60 to bed, and wouldn't
he "dispel." He "dispelled" by
dropping back and letting them walk
off together. Before they had got
across the street there was another
remark relative to a divorce, another
blow, and the man literally bit the
dust, rising up with his mouth full of
the article and q swelled eye. The
woman then ran of at full speed,
Jackson In pursuit, but he was unable
to catch her. Verify the beauties g,
the marital state are numerous ;anC
the above performance was ore O

Woro They Crazyt

A rather funny story comes from
Louisville, KY, the parties to which
were a nan and o woman who went to
one of the principal city hotels lately,
and were registered as Mr.. J. D. Free
man and wife, Brocton, n. Y. One
room was of course assigned them ; but
scarcely had they beeu left within it
when a violent ringing was heard on
the bell answering to room No. ~.
The servant made all haste to see what
was the matter, and was informed by
the lady. in high dudgeon, that she was
not Mr.. Freeman's wife and woald not
share his room; he was a crazy man
whom she was taking North. The
servant ran down stairs to tell the
news, but MI. Freeman ran after him
and told the clerk that she was crazy
and he was taking her North with him.
The clerk went up stairs, and the
woman reiterated her story, but said,
when asked on the subject, that her
name was Mrs. J. D. Freeman; never
theless she must have another room,
TO which the clerk acquiesced, and ad-
joining apartments were given to. the
crazy pair, labelled Nos. 80 and 40.
In a few minutes both bells rang, and
the clerk and bell-boy few to. see what
was up now, and found the pair In the
hall berating each other. Both de-
handed the effectual closing Of the
door between their respective rooms.
Their wish was complied with, and no
more row vas made. but on the NOR
row the two came down to breakfast
together partook Of the same dishes.
aud billed and cooed as If there had
never been any trouble between them,
yet in n way which would have been
highly reprehensible had they been
unmarried. Then they went away,
leaving the puzzled clerk to tear his
hair over the unsolved mystery.

SIN Of .h. Fir, Wafer.

Four merchants of this city received
letters, as subsequently proved, In the
same handwriting, aud undoubtedly
from the same man. Each referred
him to some benevolent society In
which they were more or less directly
connected, and that Is how the at
tempted fraud we are about to exhibit
was found out. In each instance the
writer commenced with "Mr. -:
Dear Sir-It is with feelings of deep
humility that 1 pen this note to you."
In the first letter he states that he
came from Calcutta to this city six
months since, has been unfortunate,
and would like pecuniary aid. Signed
"James Cardigan"
In a second letter he claims to be a
son of MI. Harold, pianoforte manu-
facturer and organ builder Of Liver
pool. He writes that he has been In
this State six months, and to have re-
Gently walked from Virginia City

the shape Of a loan until his remittan-
ces arrives. Signed James Harold.
According to the third letter he was
raised In his fathers hardware estab-
lishment at Glasgow. From that city
be went to Australia, and within six
months came to California. He makes
mention Of the Virginia City pedes-
trian trip In this eplstle. Signed
James Henderson. According to the
last letter, the ubiquitous alms-solici-
tor Is a son Of Walter Mackenzie. an
Edinburgh shlp-chandler. He says
" i arrived here a few days ago on foot
from Virginia City, without obtaining
one days support. l took the liberty
Of addressing this letter to you, trust
ing, dear sir, that you will give me a
little assistance to put me over to-
night, as I am utterly destitute Of
means. l expect a remittance from
home In a few days, which will pay
my expenses back" Signed James
Mackenzie.
This gentleman, whose versatility In
invention has been apparently for the
most part confined to changing his
surname /; his Christian name, James,
remaining the same all the time, IL
evidently not "Truthful James," He
has succeeded In raising q few loans,
but has so far evaded the clutches OF
the law. We take pleasure, In con-
junction with an evening contempor-
airy, In calling attention to his CASE

a.u,h Cfrsu..K.klux.

IA brother oftewis Thompson, q col
ored preacher, Who was murdered by
the Kuklux in Union county, South
Carolina, some days since, has recently
visited Columbia and the Union Of
that city says:
From him We learn that the body Of
Thompson was Nnshed ashore In Tiger
river a few daysIago. The body bore
numerous stabs, and also bore marks
where the horses had run over him,
and marks and bruises where he had
been dragged along the road. The
body also showed other mutllations,
not befittingto speak Of here, but beft-
ting and characteristic Of some Of the
worst Indian practices. On the night
when the masked men took Thompson,
ne had been preaching to quite an as
semblage Of colored people, some Of
whom had retired. Thompson heard
the parties coming and got up from
the bed and went Into the loft, from
where the parties took him. When he
desired to put on his clothes, they told
him he would have no further use for
them, and carried him away In his
night-clothing. William Tucker, col
ored man, and Thompsons family
we're in the house at the immediate
time Of the outrage, but were not mo-
Tested. Thompson was formerly known
as Lewis Rice, having been raised By
q family In the Union named Rice.
Our informant states that he always
bore q good character, never held or
ran for any office ; and the only cause
Of his murder was that he was known
to be quite an influential Republican.
He was a member Of the Zion Metho-
dist Church, and was respected by the
Bishop, Elders and congregation. No
one has been arrested for this murder.
He was a son Of Wagner Dennis Rice.
The foregoing was published In the
Columbia Union Of Friday morning
last. In the issue for Saturday We read:
"From a source which Is considered
perfectly reliable, we learn that the
body Of Lewis Thompson still lay yes
terday In the sur on the banks Of the
Tiger River, where It was found, and
our informant further states that the
Coroner Of the county has not visited
the body for the purpose Of holding an

A BAD BREAK.-The Memphis Aua-
ldnche is disposed to "split" on its
Northern Democratic confederates, and
divulges important secrets in this reck-
less way:
They have taught that a triumph Of
the Northern Democracy would restore
matters to the condition of 1850, or at
least to 1856, though the truth Is that
the Northern Democrats have "de-
parted" because no party that sticks
to the Democratic platform Of 1858 can
live. Men of this stamp are In great
part responsible for the sufferings Of
the South since 1855.

The last New York Citizen, in an

but they must not forget that this Is
an open refuge for the do~wn-trodden
Of all nations; they are guests, and
should respect u hospitality. It
would be MI act of great folly to re-
vive the old Know Nothing feeling,
and would affect them most disast-
rously. They behaved we'll during
the late riots; they took no part in
them as a body, but opposed such law
lessness strongly; nevertheless they
are in danger, by adopting the acts Of
the rioters, to assume their liabilities
and receive the condemnation the law
breakers merit. Against such a mis-
take we warn them solemnly.

The great compliment paid to the
Republican party by the endorsement
Of Its principles BY Democratic con-
ventlons IS a just tribute to a party
which has based It's platform on the
broad principles Of justice and equality
for all. The political history of the
world shows no similar instance Of a
political organization aiming so high
and accomplishing so much. After
endorsing Republican principles, it Is
the very essence Of absurdity for the
Democracy to ask the aid Of the peo-
pie In oyerthrowing the Republican
party.
