The Story of a Diamond Necklace.

The true story Of the diamond necklace
Daniel Webster gave to Mrs. Joseph GALES
is said to be this: When Mr.. Webster
made his celebrated reply to Senator Hayne,
of South Carolina, Mr. Gales, the senior
editor of The National Intelligeucer, un-
dertook to report it, ut the request Of the
orator, who assured Mr. q. that the speech
would not be more than half an hour long.
The editor was busy, but he thought ho
could spare time to take down and write
out 80 short a speech But "a Mr.. Webster
was ascending the steps of the Capitol on
the morning that he was to speak, he met
Judge Story, who told him it was a good
opportunity to give his views upon the
Constitution. Webster acted upon the
suggestion, and instead Of speaking for only
half an hour, he spoke for three hours Mr..
Gales, under the spell Of the orator, wrote
on, perfectly unconscious Of the lapse Of
time. But when he came 10 look over hia
notes he found they were 80 voluminOus
that he would never have time TO transcribe
them. The speech not appearing ia The
intellgencer in due time, Mr. Webster
called upon the editor at his house, who
told him that the speech was 50 long, and
his time 80 much occupied, that be feared
he could not find time TO write il out for
publica ton. While the orator was expos
tulating with the editor and endeavoring
to urge him to the work, Mrs Gales ar
peared and said she thought she could write
out the speech, as she had been in the habit
of assisting her husband in transcribing his
notes. She undertook the task, and in two
day sent Mr.. Webster his speech in full A
diamond necklace was the rich
reward of the Massachusetts, Senator. And
thus was preserved to American literature
the masterpiece Of our greatest orator.

NOMMENIS OF COL. DANPORTH
When Gen. Davis was Secretary of War.
ia President Pierce's Cabinet, the editor of
the Rock Islander was appointed to the
charge OF the military reservation known as
r ort Armstrong, where Rock Island Arse
nal Is now located, and it was through off
clal reports made by him. of the attempt of
Lindsey, BEackett, Langley, Conway and
others To gain possession of the Island, that
zen. Davis was aroused to defend the rights
1.-THE United States. Gen. Davis then made
a mastery legal argument before the United
states Land Commissioner, clearly and con O..
clusIvely showing the right of the United
States to the land, and that it was not and
never had been under control of the land de-
partment and was not subject to pre-emption
or entry. 1t was that argument of Gen.
Davis which saved the Island from becom-
ing private property and reserved it for the
greatest armory and arsenal in the United
states Gen. Davis had been stationed here
IN his youth, when he was a Lieutenant in
the regular United States Army, and he
always held that it was the best place in the
United States for the purposes to which 1t Is
now devoted. Afterwards when he was
United States Senator the squatters attempt
ed to gain possession by act of Congress.
We well recullect of being in the gallery of
the Senate when their bill came up, and of
seeing him spring 20 his feet and denounce
and expose and utterly destroy the Squatters
bill. 1t was never heard of afterwards.
About three years ago, as our readers well
remember, we published the argument of
Gen. Davis on this subject, made in 1857,
and it was read with much interest by the
people of this region. They will read with
equal pleasure his letter in this paper, where
in he pays glowing tribute to the Federal
Union and endorses the doctrine of the
supremacy Of the Federal Government in
every particular in which power is given to
it in the Constitution. His exposition of
Southern opinion on these subjects will be
gratifying to all-except those who wish TO
keep up sectional hate and sectional politics.

ANOTHER ENoCH ARDEN CASE.
A Long Lost Husband Returns and
Finds that His Wife has Twice Mar
Fiod
From the Richmond (va.) Wing ]

From the Richmond (Va.) Wing
Mary Jane Bosset, alias Booth, alias Nc
Cawley, white female of respectable APP
pearanee, about thirty-eight years of age
and a resident of Rockets, was arraigned
before the Police Court yesterday morning,
charged with bigamy.
The facts developed in the examination
are: That on the 1st day of September
| 1865, the accused lawfully intermarried
with one Joseph Bosset, Frenchman, who,
short time after the celebration of the
nupitals, was arrested by the military au-
| thorities and confined in Castle Thunder"
on the charge of dealing with counterfeit
money By some means he is said to have
effected his escape, and without calling to
say farewell to his new-made bride, he fled
to parts unknown, and was mourned for as
one forever lost
The deserted wife continued thus, until
the 9TH day of January, 1870, when she
DOTTED her widows weeds, wiped her weep
ing eyes and gave her hand in marriage, $50
it is charged to one Levi Booth, who had
wooed and won her.
As to the fact of her marriage with
Booth, the evidence is not perfectly clear.
A certificate from the clerk of the Hust-
ings Court was introduced in evidence,
showing that on January ., 1870, license
was obtained from his office for the
V. Wells, but that the license had rot been
returned to the office with the certificate of
the officiating clergyman. Oral testimony
was introduced to show that the couple
for some time lived together hus-
band and wife. A few years after their
marriage, Booth, died, and on the 4th of
November, 1875, Mrs. Bossett or Booth
married Edward McCawley, with whom
she has been living ever since.
A few days ago Joseph BOsset, after long
wandering in foreign lands, returned to
Richmond and sought his wife. He found
her living i'll domestic tranquility as the
wife of another He forced his way into her
presence and proclaimed himself her true
and lawful spouse. Not being recognized,
with all the impulsiveness of Frenchman,
he threw off his coat, rolled up his sleeves
and disclosed to the surprised woman the
name of his "Mary Jane" pricked with India
ink into his flesh. Even then he was DOOM
ed to disappointment. No joyous welcome
followed this revelation ofhis identity. The
impulsive intruder, with coat off, sleeves
rolled up, and a sailors sheath knife sticking
out from the belt, terrified the woman with
vociferous ejaculation and wild gesticulation.
She summoned help and the stranger was
summarily elected. A warrant was after
wards obtained, and Bosset was arrested on
the charge of trespass. Subsequently Mrs
Bosset, or Booth, or McCawley was arrested
on the charge of bigamy The Police JUS
tice, after hearing the testimony, concluded |
to send the woman on to the Hastings Court |
for Indictment and allowed bail in the sum |
Of $500. She was unable TO give security, |
and was committed to Jail. Mrs. BOsset |
appeared much affected by the disagreeable |
coniuncture OF affairs, and had a severe |
spasm before the court met.

THERE 10 NO DEATH.
BULwSRs LAST POEM.

There Is no death The stars 90 down
To rise upon some fairy shore,
And bright in Heaven jeweled crown
They shine forever more.
There ia death The dust we tread
Shall change bene ath the summer shower
To golden grain. or mellQw fruit
or rainbow tinted flower.
The granite rocks disorganize
To iced the hanging moss they beer;
The forest trees drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is do death The leaves NAV fall
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours
For coming Of the May.
There Is no death An angel form
Walks o er the earth with silent tread
He bears our best loved things away.
Aud then-we call them dead
He leaves our hearts all desolat e:
He plucks our fairest sweetest flowers;
Tran-Plnnted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
That bird like voice whose joyous notes
Made glad these scenes Of sin and strife,
Sings now everlasting song
Amidst the trees Of life
And when lac finds a smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for faint vice,
lie bears il to that world of light
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave us bur 10 come again
With JOY we welcome them the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear mortal spirits tread,
For all the b0undless universe
IL litc-there are no dead
