The Judges Mistake.

Some years ago old Judge - Of
Maine, accompanied by his good and
much-beloved wife, visited New York
The Judge pat up" at 'the cd tavern
down by the battery" before retiring
for the night, and while Mrs was
costly tucked away between the Sheets
the Judge thought he would have a
good scrubbing. Having performed his
additions to his entire satisfaction, and
scrubbed himself until his limbs were
the color Of fresh boiled lobster, the
Judge looked about for some receptacle
into which be might turn the contents
Of his wash-bowl. There was nothing
at hand. and rather than summon
servant the old Judge conceived the
idea Of throwing the water out of the
window. 50 mounting chair the
Judge opened square little window
which he thought likely opened into
back yard, and deliberately emptied
the contents of the bowl. A howl Of
rage greeted the ears of the good old
Judge, accompanied by female cries
and loud oaths from a masculine voice.
"What - are you up tor shouted
somebody. What the - are you
prowling about at this time O. the night
for?" replied the Judge. You ought
to be at home with y'r wife and child
rem" In point of fact, the poor fellow,
who had good reason to be angry, was
quietly sleeping in bed with his better
half, and the little window which the
Judge had opened was intended as a
ventilator for both rooms. The Judge
had SO completely drowned out his
neighbors that they were obliged to
seek another room

ecution. His first step was to repair to
the central police office and inquire
where the Countess Ida lived. He was
informed that she was lodging in
small house near the prison, with two
servants, but that she was under orders
to quit the kingdom on the morrow.
The Englishman fastened to the house
indicated with all the dust Of travel on
him. 1t was past midnight but Ida re,
ceived him at once. He found her
writing by the fresde in that dismal
parlor of her clearinghouse. She was
dressed in deepest mourning, and her
features, blanched by her grief and

hoarsely.
He went, and was back with Ida at 8
the next day. Heaven knows what he
felt and what he looked like; his ap-
pearance struck the Russian girl speech
less for a moment. But she did not
weep; hers was the sorrow that sheds
inward tears all life long. She ques-
toned the Engishman with a glance,

she were waiting an order.

"Oh let me give YOU a home, Ida,"
the Englishman answered, feeling all
his love well up in sob of anguish.
"No," she replied, with wan smile
and a shake of the head; "you could
not brave the worlds prejudices by say
ing that you were proud of my brother,

Good bye" Guerdon moaned, rs he
raised Ida's hand to his lips. He felt
that the strange girl was right, and that
there was a gulf between him and her.
But he would have given worlds to
bridge it.

A vALUABLE DIscovERY.-Mentio has
before been made in this paper OF the dis
covery recently made by the Mcssrs. Wood
rum, Of this county, by which large quan-
tity of lye can be manufactured in few
moments and in a very simple manner from
a small quantity. OF ashes. We witnessed
the operation few days ago in this office.
From about one gallon Of ashes Mr. R. Fl.
Woodrum in very short time ran about
two gallons Of good lye, leaving three
quarts OF the ashes remaining in the bucket
after the lye was extracted The ashes
were not good, having been taken from a
stove in which all kinds Of wood had been
burned. The yield OF lye would doubtless
have been much Larger from good ashes.
Mr.. Woodrum informs us thai the I've OBJ
tanned by this new method will produce
two thirds more OF concentrated I've or not
ash than that obtained in the old way. 1t
is certainly q valuable discovery. and will
be of incalculable benefit to families in
soap-making. A patent has been applied

THE MozART.-Great interest was mani
tested in the musicale last evening on ac-
count Of the first appearance Of the newly
organized Mozart chorus, and there was
consequently large audience present.
The chorus, under the direction OF Colo
mel William E. Tanner, rendered "Light
O'er Sparkling Ocean Breaking," b. Bel!ini,
and .'Hail to Thee, Liberty" by Rossini,
very creditably; and il we are to Judge
from this first effort, will prove valuable
acquisition and an interesting feature in the
future programme OF the Mozart. 1t Ger.
tainly adds n variety much desired by the
general audience.
Miss Cooke, in her rendition of two so.
prano solos, showed tine conception and
graceful execution.

Secession Talk.
[STs AS TO WHAT CALIFORNIA WILL D,


THE CHINESE DON'T GO.
1t is stated that the San Francisco Daily
iytock Report, the oldest financial paper on
the Pacific coast, in urging that a monster
mass-meeting be held in San Francisco to
demand Of Hayes that he sign the Chinese
bill. uses the following extraordinary Ian
guage:
b This Is most critical time in the history
of California. Whether there is to be
bloodshed and anarchy in our fair State,
riot, incendiarism, and murder; whether
our green fields are to be blackened and our
garden-spot laid waste;! or whether, rather
than incur these dreadful evils, we
shall calmly.i'in the end, all other re-
sorts having failed, meet and sever our
connection with the national confederation,
making laws for our preservation and the
preservation OF our children's heritage, the
events OF the next two days may determine.
Already such q dread possibility as seces-
sion from the Union in the event OF our
failure to obtain the relief we demand from
the Chinese evil is broadly talked OF in high
circles. The East has utterly failed to un-
derstand our situation, and to extend the
aid and sympathy we have the right to eX-
pect from the sisterhood OF States. Lead
ing men say that we have pleaded, have eX-
hausted arguments, have cried aloud for
relief, but our most earnest appeals have
been treated with indignity, and our suffer-
iEgs have been mockery. AS alast resort
we VIII take advantage OF the geographical
lines that surround us, the vast extent OF
soil within our boundaries, the exhaustless
resources, OF wealth, that are ours, and will
set up. an occidental republic, which, if it
cannot rival the old republic in its glory OF
the past, will at least be magnificent en-
pire OF white freemen, whose heritage shall
be preserved to their children and their
children's children forever.

THE SOUTH SICK OF THE OHIO IDEA.-The
sensible men in the South, and everywhere
else, know that the crushing defeat OF the
Democrats in the northern States last No
yember was caused by the alarm Of the
country at the presumed inroads that infla-
ton, greenbackery, inconvertible paper:
money doctrines were making in the Dem
ocratic party. The southern States un-
doubtedly contribute to make this alarm
the more intense by following the leader
ship of such politicians as voorhees, and
Ewing. They have found out their mis-
take. From this time henceforth the
