face Of one of the women, who was both
young and timid. She sickened, and
then requested the man to stop smoking.
This aroused the ruifian in him, and he
roughly declared, 9 have paid my fare;

Accordingly he took out fresh cigar,
and started the smoke. cloud again. The
woman could only add that smokers
ought not to forget to be gentlemen"
This suggestion excited the mans rage
to white heat At this point the small
man on the front seat laid aside his
blanket, put his left hand on the knee Of
the enranged ruffian, in order to with
draw his attention from the woman and
to himself, while with his right hand he
drew bowie knife from its case between
his shoulder blades. Pointing the wea.

quietly said. II am Colonel James

instant with whom be had to deal, and
threw the cigar out Of the window with
out adding word. Colonel Bowie re-
placed his weapon, drew his blanket
about him, and relapsed into condition

A rortune Ihat a Breath has Made.

A singular suit was tried and determ-
ined 10 Wilmington, Del, last week. It
is thus reported by the correspondent OF
the Philadelphia Times: Under the
laws of Delaware the property of wife
who dies without issue descends not to
her husband, but to those of her own
blood. Ten years ago Henry Stout, a
wealthy Dover lawyer, died, leaving his
property to HE three children. Five
years ago bis only daughter married
Rev. d. r Hall, of Lewes, and year
later she died in giving birth to her first
child. The latter, 1t was claimed by the
father, lived few moments after being
delivered, but this was denied. II
the babe breathed for a single second
after birth, then it's mothers property
descended to her husband. II it was
dead when delivered, however, the
mother died without issue aud her prop
erty descended TO her brothers. To set.
tie the question the brothers brought
suit for the property, and the case occu-
pied the attention Of the court the en-
tire week. For the plaintiffs Senator
Salisbury and ex-senator Comegys ap-
peared, and the defendant was repre-
sented by exJudge Layton, ex-Congress-
man Smithers, and Edward Ridgely,
ESQ The first witness called was DR..
George Goodell, who attended Mrs. Hall
in her fatal sickness and delivered her
Of child. He was positive the child
showed no signs Of respiration or mus
cular motion after birth. This was all
the material evidence offered by the
plaintiffs at this stage OF the proceed
iogs. DR.. Page. who was also present
at the delivery of the child, was called
by the defense. He believed the chilC
had distinct existence, for with his eal
| upon its chest he had heard its hear
beat; he also saw the temporal arteries
vibrate and the umbilical cord throb
DR.. Penrese, Professor Of Obstetrics il
the University of Pennsylvania, beinG
called as an expert, said that from the
testimony he had heard he felt positive
of the childs independent and distinc
existence. DR., 8 Jumy and Shoemaker
gave similar testimony. In rebuttal, tn,
plaintiffs called Dr.'s Cahall and Ezekie
and William Cooper, who testified tina
the child had none other than a feta
life, and that its existence was necessa
rily imperfect and distinct-of no &C
count whatever in establishing the de
iendants claim to his dead wite's prop
erty. This closed the evidence, and tn,
case was argued at great length b.
counsel. Chief Justice Gilpin delivere,
an elaborate charge TO the jury, who re
turned a verdict in favor of Hall, tn
defendant, basing it upon the supposi
ton that the child drew at least on
breath in this world, sufficient to possess
Mr.. Hall with fortune.

Gle. The personal charms Of the lady
we're not in such high esteem with Mr..
Herne as was her salary with her hus-

her diseharge. Mr.. Ooreoran could not
fail to write such slight down on the

Yesterday the two met at one Of the

Kearny and Montgomery, both slightly
in their cups. Mr.. Corcoran renewed
theinvidious discussion which had been
dropped during the absence Of Herne
in Oregon. Words we're followed BY
blows, without any advantage on either
side. The quarrel ended to be renewed
in another gin shop, not far from where
hostilities commenced, and with the
same result-a drawn battle, with nearly
equal distribution of bloody noses, dis
colored optics and torn apparel The
opportune friend was near, Of course,
and the fight was brought to a close be-

PRsta's idea of the Art OF singing.
Madame Pasta remarked that most
people, when they study song, never
pause to read and study the words, but
set to work at once upon the air. This,
she observed, was very absurd, and she
advised Miss Vaughn, before beginning
to learn an aria, to master the full mean
ing of its words, so as to give them their
right expression. "a sons" she said,
lis a dramatic recitation; only, instead
Of speaking, you sing It, If it is cheer
ful, you must contrive, without exaggera-
ton, however, TO phrase it mirthfully; if
it be sad, sorrowfully; and.f tragic, with
as much dignity as you can command" "
She then initiated, to our great amuse'
ment, the ordinary young lady's style OF
singing q sentimental ballad, in a mono
tone about as expressive as 6shwoman
crying ''herrings v 'a+' > tJ

Madame Pasta invited Miss Vaughan

tralto cavatina from Semiramide, "A

pleased with her voice, and kindly un-
dertook to sing passages from the same
air, in order TO show her how she sang it.
The voice was gone, but the method, the
artistic taste and marvellous art of deola-
nation, still existed as fine as ever. ]

DIED at Three Rivers, Michigan, on
the evening OF the Sth inst, Charles 5.
Converse, only child Of Mrs Clarence
A. and A. r. Converse OF this city,
aged four years.
For the second time within a week
the house Of Converse & Warren has
been drnPed in mourning for the dead.
This time the family of Mr.. a. r. Con-
verse has been visited by the arch de-
stroyer. Charlie, the idol OF his par
ents, Charlie Converse, beloved 10y all
who knew him, il no more. He has
gone above IN Join the angels throng,
whence he will send glad tidings to
his sorrow stricken parents. We
trust that Mr.. and Mrs. Converse may
find consolation in their deep affection;
we know from experience how hard it
is to part with u little ones to sever
the heartstriugs which bind us to nur
dnrlings; hut sooner or later we must
part, and those of our dear ones who
have gone before, will be whiting for
us TO join them in the spirit land.
Charlie was a bright lad, Intelligent
beyond his years. and OF n very ufieC-
lionate and loving nature, which made
him a favorite among his fathers
friends. Many times have we noticed
the great love that was bestowed upon
him by his parents, how every wish
was gratihed almost before spoken,
how thoroughly their very being
seemed to be wrapped up In their only
child. We have often shuddered to
think Of the consequences of n forced
parting between parents and child. and
wondered whether In the dispensation
of n Divine Providence IL could be or
dained that 80 much love. so great an
affection and so nll-absorbing a devo-
ton, as was being manifested between
Mrs. Converse and her boy, Charlie,
should he Interrupted by "a sudden
parting, 10y the intervention of death.
This decree, however, has gone forth.
Charlie has been taken hence, his an
gel spirit has left its earthly abode and
to-day he is II member of that joy
full throng who join in beautiful melo-
dies before the throne of the great
Jehovah, an all-wise and Gll-merciful
God.
May the parents of Charlie Converse
take comfort from this thought, aud
may they gradually become ct
TONED to think of their boy rs far hap
pier, than he could have been had he
staid with them here to the end OF
their days.

The Sentinel as usual, is obliged to
resort to falsehood in speaking of the
vote in Cheyenne. 1t says no n was
challenged, and that childred voted.
The truth is hat challenging was kept
up to the close of the polls, by those
appointed for that purpose, and so far
as is known no illegal votes were cast,
at least we have not heard of any.
Owing to n lack of interest in the re-
suit, and the rainy condition of the
day a full vote was not polled. 1t is
estimated that fiom two hundred and
fifty to three hundred more votes
could have been polled by proper ex-
ertion. A large portion of the women
did not vote, and quite a large number
of men did not go near the polls on
election day.
