Mrs. Audubon, wife of the celebrat-
ed naturalist, John j. Audubon, died
in kelleyville, KY, on the 18th inst,
aged SO years. She was lady of con-
siderable attainments, and was con-
stant companion of her husband in his
labors and travels, visiting the princi-
pal Courts of Europe in his company,
and for many years past, since his
death, she has lived with her relatives
in this city and State.
The Tennessee negroes are rampant
for the enforcement of social equality
of the races. At a negro convention,
held at Somerville, a few days since,
several speakers delivered fierce
speeches on the subject. One fellow,
by the name of Scales Fields,
in the course of his harangue, said:
''Some white people say that if the
civil rights bill becomes q law colored
men will marry their daughters. Well,
there are some very har dsome colored
gentlemen, and if they do not want
their daugters to marry us, they must
teach them not to love us. If the civil
rights bill is passed, put your daugh-
ters under lock and key.
The Cassiar gold mines, situated in
British territory, between which and
the sea lies the long strip OF Alaska
Territory, belonging to the United
States, stretching Southeast, are at
tracing an unusual rush from adjacent
British settlements. Two gentlemen
who left the diggings April 81, re-
ported that when they left, 200 men or
more were in the diggings. With the
creek and ground frozen, and the snow
/ two feet deep, the gold hunters were
still able to do well. A party on Deese
| Greek thawed the ground, washed it in
! a rocker, and made from four to ten
ounces a day. Other parties were
making from $50 to Sd per day by
same process. \ new creek, with an
unusal promise Of gold, had been
! found, and great excitement cns'led.
/ 1t is estimated that mid summer will
find 800 men in that region. Among
those focking to the digginSs are
some Chinese, who are shamefully
treated, and they are threatened with
violence if they enter the digging.
! 1t is rather startling, is it not, to
hear that 1.-The Prince OF Wales was
married on the 18th of last month, to
Lady Alice Hay, a daughter of the late
Earl of Enroll, 1t tho ROmam Catholic
Church in Spanish Place, London o.
/ Such, however, is the fact. And yet
( the husband of Alexandria, "sGa kings
! daughter from over the sea-" has not
committed bigamy. The "Princo of
! Wales" who has just welded young
Scottish lady Of old cavalier and
Jacobite blood, is the wrong "Prince
| of Wales" He is commonly known
| as "Col. Count Charles Edward d'AI-
/ bany, the only son of Count Charles
/ Edward Stuart and of Anna, daughter
/ OF the Right Hon. John de la Poer
Beresford, and niece of the first Mar
! Guis of Waterford" When the right
/ Prince Of Wales, last year, went to the
| Vienna Exhibition, he had the pleas
ure of seeing this great-grand-nephew,
! or whatever he may be, of the Pre-
| tenders of the last century figuring in
Il Highland dress among the officers
the Austrian army. 1t is rather doubt
| full after all whether the Count
| Charles Edward is so nearly the di-
rect representative of the royal Stuarts
! as to deserve even in that way the
complimentary title of the wrong
"Prince of Wales.' As n matter of
! fact we believe the direct heir Of the
English crown in the Stuart line to-
| day is Francis Y, ex-Duke of Modena,
"by right divine Francis ], of Great
Britain and Ireland, King. But the
| Count is conceded to be Stuart, and
his temperance in England to marry
q Scottish noblewOman is at least a
curious incident Of the day worth
bringing to the notice Of the lovers of
historical romance.
