Romantic Attachment Of a Keahhy young
Maa for The Beaaifu Caeassian.
Mention was made a few months since of
the romantic attachment of young mani
named Bruce, of Pittsburg, for Zult ARA,
SHOWN as the beautiful GTrcassian girl, who
last summer travelled IN a professional capacity
with Barnum's circus, and who. during the
|past winter, attracted many admirers to Bur
|nells Museum, at Pittsburg, where she was
lon exhibition. Bruce, Whosis q man of con-
siderable fortune, made . pfoposalof marriage
to the beautiful Circassian, who put him of
from day to day until he, learning that he
was thwarted in his love. became very much
depressed in spirits. He actually haunted
the museum wherein the gfrlywas ON exhibi.
ton, and on her untimely refusing to see him
orsto allow the correspondence to continue
further he became melancholy, and soon after
exhibited symptoms of insanity.
The symptoms developed SO rapidly and
were of SO serious a nature as. to cause his
Friends to have him removed to Dixmouni
Insane Asylum. At this institution he re-
manned until a few weeks ago, when he was
pronounced cured and accordingly discharged.
With liberty came the old and strong aE
Election for the Circassian, and he made in
quiries in almost every quarter of the city as
Ito her present whereabouts. Ascertaining
that she was travelling with O'Brien's circus,
then in the interior ofNew York State, he|
FASTENED thither, and came up with the object
of his search at a small VILLAGE called Fair
Hill. This was on Friday last, and the meet.
ling between the couple is said to, have been
an exceedingly cordial and joyous one. He|
again told her, of bis love and again proposed
marriage Greatly to his joy the trials and
stribulations ofaveEy romantic courtship we're
brought to a happy end by the acceptance of
ibis offer. The next day, in the presence of
jail those connected with the circus and at
tending side shows, the young couple were made
man and wife. After the ceremony they were
29the recipients of numerous congratulations, and
the contract of the lady with the circus mana.
ger having been annulled to the satisfaction
aof all concerned, the couple left for Pittsburg,
awhere they arrived yesterday. Bruce is O.
rather fine looking man, and the heir to d
large estate..-Pdns6urg Leader.
Senator BroWnlow on the CiVil-Rights
Bill.
The Knoxville Herald publishes a second
letter-this is dated June 1st-from Mr.
Brownlow against the oivil>rights bill. 1t
scores a Yankee preacher named Bartlett who
favors the bill. We give an extract or two
from Brownlow's letter
Yes! Mr.. BARTLETT, you, can rally the misceg
nation brigade and the white lodging poll
%ticians who agree with you that the poor white
people have no rights, and l will meet you
with the honest laborers and poor men whose
rights are outraged and trampled upon by this
determination.
The passage of this civil-rights bill will de-
stroy the free schools as it ought to do, for it
ifs better to. have no schools at all than such
as are arbitrarily dictated under this bill
sThe mere threat to pass it is the greatest in
ssult and outrage which has ever been at
tempted upon the honest, ard-working peo-
5ple of small property, primo property at all
I do not believe that the personal freedom
sof all the white people Of the South, and all
their rights of self government, should be
sacrificed to accommodate a few thousand in
solent negroes, or to crafty the caprices Of
negro worshipping white men and selfish poi
diticians. "a
q The thousands of women inevery Southern
Estate, who, though the widows of rebels, are
lin no way responsible for the war, are told,
"Your children shall not go to school unless
zsyou are subjected to the humiliation of seeing
them educated with the children of your for.
liner slaves" The manhood of the country
Ought to rise up against the petty persecution.
q The mixed-schcol bill might appropriately
abe termed, ga bill for the encouragement of
ariot and chaos in the Southern States, and for
the humiliation of the w~idowsand the oppres
Asion of the orphans of the South"
a ANOTHER Coal Orr HoBRoR.-A fatal
s%affair, of a peculiarly distressing character
occurred on Saturday morning, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Henry Chrine, on the old Fred
serick or "New Cut" road, about eight miles
:sfrom Baltimore. the victim being his wife,
22 years of age, and to whom he had only
been married about five weeks. About five
ao'clock on saturday morning Mrs. CbriDe who
was alone in the house Cher husband being
absent in the field attempted to kindle a fire
in a stove, and for the purpose ofquickeniug
Athc flame took mp a can containing a gallon
sof coil oil and began pouring it on the fire.
IAN instantaneous explosion was the result Of
the experiment and burning oil was thrown
in a shower over her entire bosom, .envelop-
ing her in flames. In this terrible condition
She ran out on the porch, and her cries for
assistance were heard by her husband, who
Preached home as quickly as possible, but be-
fore he could subdue the fire Mrs. ChriIe
