IncOnvenient Loyalty.

The Ley0nt Times narrates an extra
ordinary adventure of Queen Olga of
Greece, sister-in-law OF the Princess of
Wales, resulting from the exuberant
loyalty of the Hellenic colony at Galatz.
On passing that town on her way down
the Danube, deputation of Hellenic
residents came on board the royal yacht
and begged her Majesty to land and
show herself to her loving subjects.
Giving her arm to the Grand Duke
Nicholas, the queen landed at the court
yard of the Danube Steamship Compa-
ny. Queen Olga had hardly stepped
ashore when sudden rush was made,
and she was separated from the Grand
Duke and forcibly carried by the surg
ing crowd out Of the yard into the
street. Here their loyalty broke all
bounds, and laying hands on their SOW
ereign's dress, they began to divide it
amongst them as relics. The queen,
however, did not lose he: presence of
mind, but forced her way into bakdFs
shop. As it was, her Majesty escaped
with her clothing in the same condition
as that of France at this moment, whose
mantle, according to M. Hugo's latest
rhapsody, has it's skirts torn off. Her
Majesty was then escorted on board by
the gendarmes, and had hardly placed
herself in the hands of her Mistress of
the Robes, when the cry was raist that
the hope of tho Hellenes, Prince Con-
statine was missing. A seach was made,
and his Royal Highness was soon found
hoisted on the shoulders of a stalwart
son of Hellas, who had managed to slip
on board, and who was exhibiting the
little Prince to an admiring crowd of
his coHntrymen on shore.

How il Arose.

The disturbances between the whites
and negroes in Colorado county, Texas,
arose from very trifing cause. A
deputy constable named j. r. Hone ar.
rested a freedman who was charged
with stealing a beef, and the prisoner
was rescued by another of his race.
The officer then got his revolver and
arrested the negro again, and in taking
him into custody he struck the freed
man who had interfered with the pris-
oner on the head with his pistol, which
at the same time went off. That night
a party of unknown freedmen fred fif-
teen shots into the house Of the officer,
but fortunately his family, apprehend-
ing danger, had left. The next night
two freedmen, who lived near the scene
of the disturbance, were murdered by
some unknown persons while on their
way to Eagle Lake. This aroused the
whole colored population in that re-
gion, and some four hundred of them
armed and marched on Eagle Lake with
the avowed intention of taking the
place. The persuasions of the Sheriff
of Colordo county, however, and the
knowledge that one hundred armed
white nen had come to the assistance
of the threatened villagers, led them to
renounce this intention [; but at the last
accounts there was an extremely bitter
feeling existing between the two races,
and fears were entertained of serious
trouble.

A Young Girl Dreams the Day and
Hour OF her Death.

The following remarkable story II
vouched for by 40 less person than th'
venerable Bishop Of Gloucester
Sir Charles Lee, by his frst wife, had
only one daughter, Of which she died
in childbirth; and, when she was dead
her sister, the Lady Everard, desired
to have the education Of the child, and
she was very we'll educated till she wal
marriageable, and match was con
alnded for her with Sir William perkins
but was prevented in most extraord
mary manner. Upon Thursday night,
she, thinking she saw light in her
chamber after she was in bed, knocked
for her ~1aid, who presently came to
her, and she asked why candle was
left burning in her chamber. The
maid said she left none, and there was
none but what she brought with her at
that time. Then she said it was the
fire but that, her maid told her, was
quite out, and she said she believed it
was only dream, whereupon she said
it might be so, and composed herself
again to sleep. About two o'clock that
night she dreamed that little old
woman appeared before her and said
that she was her mother, that she was
happy, and that by twelve o'clock that
day she should be with her, and then
the old woman vanished.
The young lady Immediately awaken
ing, looked at her watch and noted the
time, and then knocked again for her
maid, called for her clothes, and when
she was dressed, went into her closet,
and did not come out again till o. clock.
Then she brought out letter which she
had written to her father handed it to
her aunt, the Lady Everard, told her
what had happened, and desired thatas
soon as she was dead, it might be sent
to him. But her aunt thought that she
had suddenly lost her reason, and
thereupon Immediately sent to Chelms-
ford for physician and surgeon, who
soon after arrived +; but she could not
discern even the indication Of loss
of reason, or Of any indisposition OF her
body. The young lady then desired
that the chaplain might be called to
read prayers, and when they were over,
she took her guitar and sat down and
played, and sung SO melodiously and
exquisitely, that her music master, who
was then there, marvelled greatly. At
about the stroke of twelve, she arose,
and, seating herself in the great arm
chair, gave great gasp or two, and
Immediately expired, while the bell was
yet striking twelve. She grew SO sud-
denly cold, that the physician was at
loss to account for it. She died at
Waltham, in Essex, three miles from
Chelmsford, and the letter sent to Sir
Charles at his house in Warkwichshire,
contained the full particulars Of his
daughters dream, which Was so pain
fully realized She was buried at her
own request by the side OF her mother
at Edminton in the year of 1852.

Whittier Are We Drifting !

The epidemic OF financial corruption
at last holds the proud Western City Of
Wyandotte in its frightful spell, and the
victimized towns glorious newspaper,
the Enterprise, is aroused to the full
perils of the situation. 1t announces
the shameful fact under the heading of
Malfeasance i'm Office Corruption
Fraud The Poundmaster Defaulter
How the People are Swindled |" Some
one got suspicion that the Pound
master had "ring" all by himself, and
he was brought up before the Common
Council and asked to explain, when he
presented the following bill:
RecetS ....,........... $I.oU
Pade ont ................... $40
The young city was astonished, and
the Enterprise says: with the illus
trious example of New York before us,
we have, at an enormous expense, OBJ
tanned the damning evidence of the
Poundmaster's peculations." In other
words, it has discovered that the Off
cial's "recets" have been over $50, with
two-thirds of the county to hear from.
This is an age of corruption in high
places, and every honest man will re-
joice to hear the Enterprise explain

Cushing and ChOate.

Old Squire Gerrish, of Newburyport,
is q genial soul who has host of legal
"reminiscences. An intimate friend of
Webster, Edward Everett and Rufus
Choate, and a law partner of Caleb
Gushing, he had rare opportunity of
collecting anecdotes and details that are
interesting now. While connected with
Cushing, time came when those two
Titans, Gushing and Choate, were on
opposite sides in an important suit. On
the day when the case was called the
courtroom was crowded. A battle be-
tween such men was a novelty, even in
that epoch of brains. To the amaze
ment Of Judge, jury andspectators, both
Cushing and Choate were somewhat
anxious for "continuance" i'm other
words, for a postponement of trial. As
usual thing, both gentlemen were al
ways anxious to force case to trial, be-
ing in state of "chronic preparation, p"
as Webster once said, in speaking of
Choate. In going ont of court, says
Mr.. Gerrish, / met Choate, and said:
How is it that you were ready for a
continuance to-day? 1t is little odd
of YOU"
Choate replied, "Oh, am little
pressed with business and can afford to
let this case stand Ove1."
Said 1, "Choate, that is sheer nom
sense. I'll tell you what the matter is,
You are afraid of Gushing.
80 l am" was the reply, 'and I'm
not ashamed to own it, either.
"Well, well" said I, 'this is pretty
good. The idea of Rufus Choate fright
ened. What on earth dc you fear in
Cushing ?"
"Mr. Gerrish, I will tell you. I am
afraid of his overwhelming knowledge
of the law"
In the afternoon Cushing came to the
office. l went for him at once. "Caleb,
what was the matter to-day why didn't
you insist on trying that case?
"Oh !" he replied, "the weather is
warm, and we have much to attend to,
and / diant care to ohurry matters. "
"Now, Gushing, be honest, were You
not little afraid of Choate ?"
"Well, Gerrish, to be candid about
it, was. Are you satisfied now?"
l then inquired what he feared
Choate for. "Do you think, said l,
"that he knows any more law than you
do ?"
NO, sir, DON'T was the answer;
"but I'm afraid of the rascal's internal
Influence with jury, right or wrong"
And there it was. The two men had
been so often associated that each
knew the others strong points and felt
timid.

The True Woman.

"The true woman" says a late
writer, "needs to be sought. She does
not parade herself as show goods. She
is not fashionable. Generally she is
not rich. If you gain her love, your
two thousand are a million. She'll not
ask you for carriage or a first-class
house. She'll wear simple dresses, and
turn them when necessary. She'll keep
everything neat and nice in your sky
parlor, and give you such welcome
when you come home that you'll think
your parlor higher than ever. She'll
entertain true friends ON a dollar, and
astonish you with the new thought, how
very little happiness depends on money.
Now do not say any more, 1 can't af-
ford to marry Go, find the true wo.
man, and you can afford it. Throw
away that cigar, burn up that switcl
cane, be sensible yourself, and seek
your vifein q sensible way"

POISONED widow of Benjamin
Bellew of Wilmington, Delaware, has
been poisoned nearly to death with q
seidlitz powder purchased at a drug
gist's. The physician thinks that
there was corrosive sublimate in the
powder. The circumstance derives ad-
ditional interest from the fact that the
Rev. Mr.. Mann, of Raleigh, n. G.,
whose daughters we're arrested on
charge of having poisoned him, and
were honorably discharged, died from
corrosive sublimate taken in a seidlitz
