smith, OF Georgia, recently. elected to
that position: "We hear that.a destitute
woman made her appearance at the Exc.
cutive Mansion Saturday evening just at
dusk' with her little son and only child
She was stranger in the city. had no
where to go, and no money, and tho
earth was covered with snow and ice.
Her husband had fallen with his feet to
the foe at Manassas, and that was enough.
The poor widow and her son were taken
IN and kindly cared for; bountiful sup.
per was furnished them, and supply of
blankets purchased to keep them warm.
Inc next morning, after another bounti-
iul meal, the widow and orphan were
forwarded to their friends"

During the debate in the Senate the
other day on Mr.. Summers social equal
lty amendment, Mr.. Wilson said that
the question Of intermarriage between
the white and black races had been set
tied in Massachusetts thirty years ago
that the State had repealed her law on
the subject at the time, and that all pre-.
dictions of the dreadful results that were
to follow had signally failed. In this
MIR. Wilson was correct. It was feared
that if the law prohibiting the marriage
OF white and black people in Massachu.
setts were repealed. the negro men would
want to marry the white women of the
State. but the fear proved to be utterly
groundless. The law was repealed. and
the women who were anxiously awaiting
an opportunity to marry negroes under
the sanction of Legislative enactments
are waiting still. The ''colored gentle
men" of the State very Justly concluded,
it would seem. that the white woman
who is willing to marry negro is not fit
to be negro's wife, and the result is O.
very large majority of such women in
that State still continue to repose their
weary, rheumatic and seemingly ema-
ciated limbs upon single bedsteads, With
mo one to love, none to oaress."

A MAD EhKpHANT.-A story comes
from India of mad elephant which, for
many years, has been the terror of q
tract in the Central Provinces" About
twenty years since the animal escaped.
and and Killed III that period some eighty or
100 human beings. Some of the car
casses. it is said. the elephant devoured,
but this is questionable, as being contra
ry to the habits of the creature. The
monster was more dreaded than any
'man-eating tigers. since the houses OF
the natives we're no protection, the ele-
phant destroying houses to get at the in
mates. The savage beast was hunted
and killed in December last, by an Eng
iish officer, at the head OF party of ma
tives. The Government reward. S1O0,
was divided among the natives.

GnddaS last HeaH whilst Senator Oar
p6ntef, OF Wisconsin. was making q
rantlng spesch against 'srebels" and
amnesty, Butler entered the chamber.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Journal, writing February LIST.
says:
Whilst he (Carpenter) was talking,
that piece of hideous iniquity, yclept.
Hon. Beast Butler waddled (for walk
1t is not) into the Senate Chamber and
took seat nextto. the Senatorial sBuf-
toon"Nye, but, as is the case of those
who have troubled conscience. he
would not sit still, and again waddled or
waggled his carcass to the other side of
she chamber, where he button -holed
the so.called ''Adonis" OF the Senate.
Conkling, OF New York, and pulled
him down to a seat on one of the sofas.
where. for twenty minutes, he engaged
In conversation. He then moved to a
seat next to Carpenter on his left. and
but three desks from that OF the Hon.
Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, who arose
after Carpenter had finished, and made
an elaborate reply. 1t was very funny
thing to see the way in which the Hon.
Beast jumped up from that seat, when
MIR. Davis commenced speaking. and
sneaked away from Davis vicinity as he
remembered his experience with that
sentleman's offended dignity about q
year since. His jump was sudden, and
caused loud gufaw from "Jester" Nye
and others, while the audience in the
galleries laughed very knowingly, and
the Hon. Beast looked like sneak thief
caught in some gentleman's passage
way with II stolep coat over his arm
and he knew it-for he shortly left.

They Lad IL terrifying sensation in a
boarding house in Davenport, Iowa, the
other evening, the result of the penchant
OF the lady for little fun. This lady
pnt on ghostly mask, donned coat
of her husbands. and creeping softly to
the door of another lady. pushed it aiar,
aud. with a groan, put her head in the
opening The occupant turned, and
looked. and gave shrek, and fell to the
floor in spasms. The fun-maker saw
the result of her sport and swooned
away! The noise made by the victim
caused a rush of the other boarders to
the scene, who appreciated the situation
at once. 1t was with great difficulty
that the frightened lady was restored to
consciousness, and after that she was in
crazed state Of mind for several hours.
Meantime the other lady was taken to
her room, whore restoratives brought
her to her senses. She inquired us to
the condition of her friend, and, when
some one told her the fate, she tainted
again, remaining in nm alarming condi-
ton so long that her husband and all
about her were filed with the direst ap-
prehensions. Both ladies were unable
to leave their room next day.

RIJMORs OF COMBINATIONS BETWEEN THE OLD

FACTION.

RrrMORs OF COMBINATIONS BETWEEN THE OLD
TAMMANY LEADER AND THE CUSTOM-HOUSE
FACTION.
II was stated some weeks since that an aill-
ance had been formed between Thomas Murphy and
James OrBrien, representing the Custom-house party
and the O'Bren Democracy Murphy and OBrien had
frequent interviews at the formers Office No. Pines
and places were furnished for OBriens few followers
by orders from Murphy on the nominal Collector
OF the Port and on the NayyYard officials.
The object Of the Grant party was TO capture
Apollo Hall which O'Brien claimed to control
and thus secure a Democratic organization In the clS,
and TO furnish basis for claim that they controlled
the Reform Democratic party which fought Iammany
last year For two weeks past the Custom house people
have been boastng of this capture and at the Conkng
meeting last week they were very loud in their sell con
gratulations
twas said that O'Bren would carry with him INTO inc
new organization George NJ Van Mort, Commissioner o
Public Works, and VIM NJ. Tweed. Mr. van NOrt was
VcePresdent OF the Conkling meeting last week, ouI
has otherwise been non-cOmmitta He was Cmei Clerh
under Tweed and practically his apponee to his present
position Tweed refusing to resign unless van

Connolly refused TO pay These facts being very gen
orally believed by members of the Apollo Hall
organization the rnmOrs Of the past few days that
Tweed favored the election Of Grant and the retention
of his old partner Thomas Murphy in power, met with
general acceptation as true 1t said last evening
that James OBrien having lost confidence in bis ability
te carry the Apollo Hall organization directly into the
Grant camp had changed his tactics, and would hence
forth strive TO achieve the end indirectly by favor
ing the straight Democratic nomination, which VIII DE
made at Louisville elsewhere.
TWEED ASKING HIS FRIENDS TO SUPPORT
GRANT.
From The EpainG NtDs July H. .
The NetC- York Times states that Mr.. 1weeds
name was omitted from its list Of Mr. Greeeys support
crs by oversight and that Tweed is not on our tine
Administration side" There many runOrs IN regard
TO Mr.. Tweed's position. 1t Is binted that meeting
recently took place In which OF Mr.. Tweeds most
steadfast friends asked by himself in person 10
support Grant and that the combination under THESE
circumstances Is to make Commissioner Van Mort the
candidate Of the Administration party for Mayor.
