LATE advices from North Carolina, leave
but little doubt that Caldwell's right to bis
seat as Governor will be contested before
the Legislature. The Democrats claim
that frauds sufficient to elect Merrman can
be proven. On the other hand the Republi-
cans allege Conservative frauds sufficient if
not to save CALDWELL at least to secure an
additional Republican member to Congress,
which they claim is of more Importance
than the Governorship. .....

The SIeeping Beauty.


A correspondent of the Louisville Cou-
ricr-JourndI has been to see the "seeping
beauty of Tennessee" at Union City. He
says of her: t...
"She has slept for twenty-three years, is
awake thirteen times in twenty-four hours,
remaining awake only seven minutes each
time, and no power on earth can force her
to remain awake one second longer She
breathes only at intervals of five minutes,
and at such times she seems to do so with
great difficulty, only drawing two or three
respirations, then falling back as though
she were dead. While awake she eats,
drinks and talks for few minutes. She is
as white as the whitest MAJ ble,t and is per-
fectly beautiful. She has no education. All
the medical skill of thecountry round
about has been baffled as to her case, and
she has been sent to st. Louis and exam
ined by the the most prominent physicians
there, but they have not been able to solve
her case. She is now on exhibition at the
Southern hotel, Union City, Obion county,
Tennessee. She is thirty-one years old,
and was sprightly girl up to eight years,
when she was stricken, and has remained
ever since as she now is."

C8 While G. w. Welsh, Esq, of Han
over borough, was repairing his house last
week, pair of shoes were found between
the flooring, which have been there be-
tween 80 and 100 years. They are quite an
oddity in the shoe line, being wide at the
heel and tapering off to point at the toes
They were well lined with heavy linen and
made of calf skim

An Unnatural Mother.

The Boston Times say: Complaint was
made at police station some three days
ago by lady on Washington street, of a
woman boarding at her house, who she
stated, was starving her child to death.
The child is not many days old it is stated
and when the keepers of the house asked
the woman why she refused to allow the
child to nurse, she made reply that she de-
sired it to die. The child has since been
sent away from the house and placed in
charge of woman in the adoption bust
ness.
The mother is said to be unmarried,
very beautiful, about twenty years of age
and belongs to Pennsylvania, where she is
quite respectfully connected.

Troubles in SchuylkilI County.

At an early hour on the morning of the
14th inst, while six miners were returning
from Continental Collery, near Centralia,
where they had been working, they were
attacked and fired upon by two parties OF
men, who were in ambush on both sides of
the railroad John Webster was shot seven
times, and has since died. George w. Davis
was severely wounded, being shot near the
heart, and the other four were slightly
wounded. Large tacks, which made ugly
gashes, were found in some of the wounds.
All but Webster succeeded in reaching an
engine house, when the Williams decamped.
The cause of the attack it is generally be.
lieved is that jealousy exists between the
miners. The six miners were transferred
from an old colliery to work at the Cont
mental. The rufiians are still at large.

CB-A Memphis dispatch states that j. f.
Cunningham, Deputy United States Mar
shal, has been arrested and jailed at Jack
son, for receiving and having in his pos
session box containing two large books OF
counterfeit State warrants, copper cut
fac simi1e of the Auditors signature, and a
fac sinsilo of the Auditors seal. They were
gotten up in New York and sent by Ex-
press. The package was expected and
Cunningham was being watched. An i'm
mense swindle that would have bankrupted
the State has thus been nipped in the bud.

eB- The Mobile Register of the 9th says;
"Two large panthers were seen on We'd
nesday night trotting leisurely salong on
Palmetto, near Charles street. When seen
by the police patrol they appeared perfectly
at home, and occasionally bit and snapped
at each other in very playful manner At
first they were taken for large dogs, but
upon close examination, one of the police
men, an old hunter, discovered that they
were genuine panthers, and no mistake.
They passed out of sight in short while,
but soon ran up against another policeman
on his beat, who immedia tely fired upon
them several times, unfortunately without
effect. The shots caused the panthers to
accelerate their speed, and after running
down George street they turned into Gov
ernment street and disappeared. 1t is
thought they are still secreted in the city.

GB-At Keokuk, a man and his wife were
arrested for violating the Sunday law by
selling beer on that day. The man argued
that he being Seven day Baptist, obser-
we'd the seventh day of the week as the Sab
bath, and in consequence had right to sell
beer on the first day. His wife claims to be
member of the Dutch Reform church and
privileged, therefore to sell beer on Satur-
day. BY this method Of ciphering out
their rights from religious stand point,
they managed 10 sell beer every day in the
week.

The strakosch Concerts.

The first of the Strakosch concerts will
be given at Exposition Hall on the evening
Of the seventeenth instant. The louisville
C'ourier,Jouyna} says of the first concert in
that city:
In spite of the epizootic, the effects Of
which were partly amended by several
street cars provided TOR the occasion, and
the excessive and sudden cold, Weisiger
Hall was well filed, if rot crowded, last
night for the first of the two concerts in
which NJ. Strakosch introduced to us Signor
Mario, Mile. Carlotta Patti and Miss Cary.
The concert was well worthy of the e2peG-
tations entertained of it. Mile. Patti was
in splendid voice, and at the close of each
selection was greeted with storm OF ap-
plause, which was as exceptional from our
ordinarily cold people as it was doubt
less gratifying TO the recipients. In
response to the second call. she sang the
charming laughing song, which has become
almost identified with herself before the
people, and which she indeed sings as we
have never heard another sing it. 1t IS use
less for us TO repeat here the one remark
which is to be applied to Mile PATHS every
appearance-tho title which she holds by
undoubted right-"the queen Of the con
cert room" But We may say that her
voice has lost nothing of It's olden charm
and freshness; is as ringing and clear and
carefully tutored as ever; if anything, I'M
proved by the practice of the three years
since we had her with us last.
Signor Mario bows before the fo0t-ights.
Elegant still i'll spite of his years-and he
is over sixty-gracefully wearing the tri-
umphs won before thousand audiences,
tle greatest tenor of the last half a cen
fury stands before an intent and sYmpa-
thetic ssembly His voice is still the
sweetest we have heard It shows the
ravages of the years, but there is every
now and then a passage of such almost
sparkling clearnes3 and purity, such indie
Bcribable sweetness of tone as to show
what that voice must have been with
Grisi and SOntag and Malibran, it claimed
the COurtliest audiences in all Europe. For
his only solo, the N 0pparj from Martha,
he was given a hearty recall. The ap-
plause is the echo of past generation. 1t
is given to our memories in part, but is still
deserved by the achievement OF the present.
Mile. Careno is a very plump, pretty, mod
est little artist, whose execution is rather
more pleasing than brilliant, but whose
naive, unaffected manner would secure her
the liking of her audience did not her per
formances Justify it, She was twice en-
Cored, playing Home, Sweet Home" for
the recall to the selections from TroVatOre.
NJ Sauret ranks high as vieliniet, and if
his looks do not belle his years, has remark
able execution for man SO young. Miss
Cary was in good voice, and sang SO well as
to renew her hold upon the good opinion of
our people Signor Scolara is a robust
basso, peculiarly of the Italian school, with
great chest action, and more powerful than
pleasing voice. The programme concluded
with a quartette from Martha. sung admi-
rabiy, and the story of thoroughly enjoy
bic evening was told.

Home News from Abroad.

Captain George L. Norton, the efficient
and popular harbor master of the First Dis
trict, is the New Orleans correspondent of
the New York Nautical Gazette, In one of
his late chatty and interesting epistles we
find the following concerning arrivals Of
emigrants here per the German steamships
And here let US notice the dispatch on the
arrival of these, our adopted citizens, who
will soon be voters. Shortly after the ship
arrived at the levee with her large cargo of
human freight, Morgan's Louisiana and
Texas railroad ferry boat came alongside
with freight cars already on board. The
baggage was all transported to the cars the
enigrants to the ferryboat and in two
hours from the time the Hanover arrived
there were placed on board the cars, across
the river, at AlgieFs, nearly 400 emigrants,
checked for Texas, and at the time of my
writing they are scattered all over the in
terror Of the State aud by thenext planting
season they will. no doubt, many OF them
have a nice little farm of their own under
cultivation.
| look upon this enterprise Of landing the
emigrant in the interior of Texas. via New
Orleans. or even to the West, as the only
system at present that does them justice.
They avoid land-sharks altogether, not be-
ing allowed to stop in any large city; there
fore, they arrive at their destination with
all the money they left home with after
paying their passages. We think your city
one OF the worst that an unsophisticsted
traveller ever put his foot in. Still, the
smart gentry of New Orleans are not slow
in fleeing all that come their way who are
IN the least yerdant
The officers in charge of both steamships
and railroads that contract for the transpoT-
tation OF emigrsnts from Europe. via New
Orleans and Texas, to the West are held
responsible for any thieying that may occur
outside Of themselves.
