A TAClT CONFESSION BY MAXWELL

The following is from the San
Francisco Daily Report of August
18th. Its charge of lying against
Maxwell will not be gainsaid here
when it is added that he told the
falsehood in San Francisco that he
had never heard of the insurance
story. That yarn had been COM
municated to him in Honolulu, and
he had week to cogitate over it,
Maxwell, the St. Louis murderer,
remained in the "tanks" at the City
Prison all last night and to-day until
about O'Clock, and saw few
visitors, as that part of the jail is
accessible only by use of some red
tape. Detectives Tracy and Baker
took him into their custody again
this afternoon and proceeded to
Oakland, where they took the East
ern-bound train. The prisoner
seemed as cheerful as ever, and pro-
fessed to be confident that the suspi-
cions surrounding him would all be
cleared up. This opinion is not
shared in by Captain Lees, who
to-day, in conversation with ID. r..
reporter, said that Notwithstanding
the newspapers stated that Maxwell
would not talk he had said enough
to convict himself. Lees did not
see what more Maxwell could have
been expected to say shorl of plead
ing guilty outright. He had adj
mitted to him (Lees) that he knew
Preller-had known him in Canada
and elsewhere and was intimate with
him at st. Louis. He had stated
that Preller's clothing found in his
possession had been bought by him
(Maxwell) in San Francisco. This
was lie, and could be so proved
even if it were not known that the
clothes had belonged to Preller. He
was following in the footsteps of all
thieves and murderers, and Captain
Lees thought he would lie even with a
rope around his neck. The chief OF
detectives laughed at the theory that
this was not Maxwell at all. The
man corresponded with the descrip-
ton given of him after the detectives
had got on the right track, but not
with that sent out at first from st.
Louis, of the man with the banged
hair. The st. Louis people were on
the wrong track then, but had after
wards fixed on Maxwell as the
murderer, and the description given
of him had been verified in the
present prisoner.

A QUEER STORY.

There is colored man near Sas-
serville who says he was sold by
Hon. Z. G. Thrash before the war
and carried to Virginia, Thence his
owner went to Europe exhibiting the
darby at show, negroes being no.
yelties on the continent. A few
years ago he was sent back to New
York, where for the first time, he
learned that he was free. With the
few hundred dollars given him he
made his way on foot back to
Georgia and his old neighborhood.
He mentions many places in Europe
which he visited and details many
incidents of his travels. If his story
is false, it is said to be very plausi-
bly, gotten up.-Meriaoether (Ga.)

ON THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS
BEATRICE.
ny LORD ALFRED TENNYsON. POET
LAUREATE.

Two suns of Love make day of human
life
Which else, with all its pains and griefs
and deaths,
Were utter darkness: one the sun of
dawn
That sbrightcns through the mothers
And warns the child's awakening
world; and one
The late rising sun of spousal love,
Which from her household orbit draws
the child
To move in other spheres. The mother
weeps
At that white funeral of the single life,
Her maiden daughters marriage; and
her tears
Are half of pleasure, half of pain. The
child
Is happy ever in leaving her. But thou,
True daughter, whose all faithful tilial
Have seen the loneliness of earthly
thrones,
Wilt neither quit the widowed crown,
nor let
This later light of love have risen in
vain,
But, moving through the mothers home,
between
The two that love thee, lead Summer
life,
Swayed by each love. and swaying to
each love
Like some conjectured planet in mid
heaven
Between two suns, and drawing down
from both
The light and genial warmth of double

The entertainment season was opened last night by the Kempshall Bros. Concert com.- pany. Although it was the first one of the season it was not as well attended as it de- served. The leading feature of the evening was the impersonation of German characters by the Watson children, Harry and Laura, ages ten and eleven, of West Bay City, Mich lgan. Their performance was pronounced A 1. They were called before the footlights six times. Tom Hayward, formerly of the Bowery Theater, New York, is with this company.

 notice of like consistory for Minnesota be- ing established at Minneapolis on the 9th inst:
 The banquet and reception by the mem bers of the Ancient and Accepted Rite for the United States of America, their terrlto-
 ries and dependencies, held September 4th,
 was one of the most enjoyable affairs of the
 kind in the history of the Masonic bodies of this city. The occasion was the inaugura-
 ton of the Grand consistory for the State, the ceremonies being in charge of Edward w. Atwood of Bridgeport, Conn.,, sovereign grand commander of the order, assisted by Illustrious Deputy John G. Barker, of New York. An informal reception was afterwards held in the parlors of the order, the rooms being crowded with
 members and ladies of their families. After the inauguration the large party assembled in City Hall, where an elegant banquet was spread. Three tables reaching the entire length of the hall and smaller one at the
 end of the room, at which were seated the dis
 tinguished officers, was the sight that met the eye Ol Ouo OllUOllbS bhO hohAA' -aSONN IVY people were seated at the banquet board and the delicious repast was enjoyed by all huge ly, from the gaiet5 which prevailed through, out
 At the conclusion of the banquet MT. Hen " O'Kane called the large party to order and as toastmaster called out number ot gentlemen in impromptu speeches, all re- spending in eloquent and witty style. Sev- eral gentlemen who were called failed to re- spond, having left the room, but the follow ing is the list of the happy speeches:
 1.-The Supreme council" response by Illus trious Grand Commander E. w. Atwood ''Our order and the judiciary" response by ! Judge Gilbert H. Stewart; "Oul 1 new members,'' response by c. C. Bomeroy of Chicago; "Royal Masonic rite, ; 1 response by 0. Huling; "The ladies'" re sponse by George T. Spahr.
 There were number of representative present from Cincinnati, Chicago, Philadel phia, Dayton, Bucyrus and other places. The banquet was prepared by the wives of the members of the order and reflected great ! credit upon their skill in the culinary art.

Hriaaeporters and Postal Cards.

The Bridgeport postoffice received 50,0Oo postal cards yesterday. The office ran short of postal cards about two weeks ago and then began to buy and beg and borrow, and so collected 31 800, which lasted until last Sat urday night; then the stock gave out entire ly and the office was left without one and was compelled to remain in that condition until yesterday morning. Out of the new lot Postmaster Knowlton will be obliged to pay back some that he borrowed, but there is likely to be no further trouble in supply ing the Bridgeport public.

,Change-Stocks Take an Upward Turn Under the Influence ofthe Vari- ous Reports.

New York; Sept. g. 1855. Stocks took an upward movement to-day of from one to three points, The rise eliminated about o'clock after which the greater part of the advance was lost. Union Pacific was the feature which governed the market, one-third of the total busi- ness of the day being in that stock. There were various stories as to the cause of the sudden ad vancement, one being that prominent speculator had sold some five thousand six thousand shares short last week while he drunk and that it being covered. There only grain of truth in the majority of reports, but there seems reason to doubt that the Union Pacific has made some fav crable arrangement in Boston for the sale of the Oregon Short line sizes and other securities in it's treasury by which it will get the funds to take up some S6 900 OO) of its floating debt. This fact was known In Boston before it was in New York. The buying on Boston orders this afternoon is what started the shorts to covering here. The stock ad vanced on large sales some two points The advance in the general market not warranted by any thing in the situation. The announcement that the east bound rates grain from Chicago have been reduced to an average of 20 per cent is any thing but encouraging for the prospective earnings of the trunk lines. Parties who have means of knowing what will be done if anybody knows say that war on telegraphic rates is imminent and will extend to the cables. Notwithstanding the cent rumors the contrary, it is ertain that the Burlington & Quincy is building line to St. Paul and that it will be completed within a year. This will give five through trunk lines from Chica- go to St. Paul as az ,inst two few years ago. The sales of stocks to day aggregated 312, 800 shares.

w. s. JOhnsOnss Encounter With a
 Maniac-The Quinniptac Ball Ntne-
 An Enterprising Turtle.
 William s. Johnson, the iveryman, had a narrow escape from serious injury, if not from death, yesterday in North Guilford at the hands of a raving maniac. Several days ago Mir. Johnson was asked to figure on q job of conveying party in one of his hacks from North Guilford to Litchfield and re- turn to New Haven. His terms were accept ed, and yesterday accompanied by William Henderson, one of his drivers, and MT. F. MT. Johnson drove to the lat ter place, where he found that the one he was to drive to Litchfeld was a vio lently insane man who was handcuffed and was to be taken to private retreat for the insane. The handcuffed party was evidently not of a mind to 90 peaceably and it was all his two keepers could do to get him to the carriage, so violently did he struggle. When he was dragged to the hack at last he man aged to wrench his manacled hands away from his keepers and raising them high above his head aimed blow at the head of MT. Johnson, whom he probably mistook as the author of what appeared to him as an out rage, and had not MT. Johnson ducked his head as quickly as he did he would doubtless have been felled to the ground. As it was, he received severe blow on the side of the head He came home and left his driver to take the refractory prisoner to Litchfeld in the company of his keepers.
