Frolic! who would have guessed frolic 1 not Old Bay, a* he dropped in at the house of a frieud after a day's labor, weary and worn, at seeiug a quilt with a few rosy young damsels working away with tho nimble needle, for dear life, as demure as sleepy pussy cuts. Nor even when one or two of the boys dropped in about sundown, like stray stars coming out before daylight is gone. The said stars dressed and pomatumed to tho extent of their financial abilities, look ing extremely uneasy and sheepish in stiff homespun and rigid ooi But presently more **ffv&, Birtgly, in couples or in little groups oC buih acxes. Now 0. B, smells a rat, he reads frolic ou every fuce. Lively go the needles, and lively chatter the tongues of rustic belles as ever and anon tho owners arc pestered by bashful homespun for the evening evolves the starlike sparkles of his rustic wit, and everything goes merry as a marriage bell. Old Hoy is irf the way, he cntreuohes him Belt' on a table behind A pile of shawls and and goes off into n snooRe. Meanwhile the quilt goes-up to (ho ceiling, it is merely an ex cuse, and a sort of blind to the old folk*. Thry doh'dscc inU such things of course. Among the girls there is some demure talk of going homo, but B?rne half dosen hats belonging to the prettiest are thrown np to the coiling on the overhanging quilt?and how can they leave without theit hats, mama ? Finally they conclude to ttay a few minute*. For n certain period O. B. is oblivious, but ib at- last awak ened by '' / 4 i .

But the road's too long and the horse too poor, Goodbye my Susie ga-a-11. Hereupon one of the asteroids takes upon himself the role of the puor knocked-kueed horae, and antics over and around until some compassionate file meets him half-way, when an infinitcssimai amofcut of Masousic courtiug is performed, and Susie gal and pardner back out and give place to she nest, couple. This goee on until each and every Susie has beoti sound(Iy) smacked and danced out of breath. As it may be supposed, O. B. was very interested about thw time, and resolved to snooze with oue eye aud both ears open. The name of the poet who was delivered of the next jig, O. B. never could ascertain.

There was, how-. jhssb AaTiVaspfjsnil .i?- i^vor of sev??t psMrs ol homespun breeches that could toe and heel to anything, except perhaps, "old hundred." The next refrain took O.

O. B. was kissed when he was little?when he was big?some. Is it disagreeable now he is old boy ? I am afraid not, would he like to sweep his appreciative lips ovei that peachy cheek of sixteen ? perhaps! well, he might cajole, palaver, negotiate, or flank, (military) and arrive at such a cousumation. But would it be a pleasure to sixteen?not a bit, so O. B. will refrain from mixing old wine iu now bot tles.

Tho New Orleans Picayune thus describes a wonderful natural curiosity, to be soon in that city : We paid a visit on Friday to that most won derful of Nature's freaks, the double-headed colored girl, or perhaps it would be more cor rect to say, the two girls in one. For conven ience, we shnll speak of them In the plural. They nrc entirely distinct, ns far as mind is concerned, laughing and chatting with each other, and being apparently upon the most in timate terms, and one may have a headache or a told without the other being affected, but any fever, or other serious disease affects both equally: Their bodies are separuto from the small of the back up ; each having a perfectly formed bust.and head; two. arms, &c., and each has two legs, but there is only one trunk. Both aro remarkably intelligent, reading aud writing with ease, while their munucrs are re fined. In quite a lengthy conversation, they did, uot make a single grammatical error, aud their language wus uuusually select. JJpou questioning them ns to their education, they replied that they hud heeu carefully taught by their former mistress, Mrs. Smith, in Colum bus, North Carolina, in which village they were born. They are now fifteen years old, and more than ordinary bright for girls of their age, having had the advantage of foreign travel. They both sing very sweetly, one having a so prano, and the other a contralto voice, and we have rarely heard two voices that blended so perfect in a duet. Among their other accom plishments is that of dancing, and the manner in which they manage to execute a waltz is truly wonderful. When standing at ease the left foot of one and tho right foot of the other do not lie flat upon tho floor, but rest upon the toes. In walking, however, they step with all their feet and walk with iicrfcct case with the other two. In speaking of them ns one, they are called Millc-Chrissie, but in addressing them separately, one applies the distinctive ap pellation, she on the left being called Millie, and she on the right Chrissie ; though Chris sie, in addressing her other half, call her ''Sis ter." There is a striking resemblance between their faces, and conformation ol their heads, is much the same?Chrissio being perhaps a Rhade brighter than her sister, and rather more talkative. Before seeing these strange girls WO had fancied that wo would experience a reeling of repulsion, but the first glance at their bright, cheerful faces dispelled that idea effectually. Tkuiuiii.i". Tkacedy at Monroe, Wiscon sin-A Glitt. kii.l8 her StDLTEK.?A dis ?patirh- dated Madison, Wisconsin, January^if^ saysi ' -mmwrnvrntmwmW Intelligence has just been received here of a tragedy in Monroe, Green county, of which the following are tlie particulars obtained from entirely reliable authority : Patrick Crotty. nn Irishman, somewhat noted for his exploits among the fair sex, seduced n young serving Woman named Angeluse Shroyer, sonic two j'cars since, and a long suit followed about tho maintenance of tho child. The girl's father proposed1 on her behalf, to settle the matter for an indemnity of $300 and the costs of the suit. Grotty had come to tho Monroe House where nngeline was working, to make payment and taking a* receipt in full. Hero a dispute occurred, Crotty claiming that tho amount should be only $300 in all. Crotty wa^s quite boisterous in his language, frequently going out to stimulate himself with liquor. The girl also slipping out, procured a pistol, and on his approaching her with insulting language, and some say, with violent gestures, she fired, the ball entering the abdomen and passing en tirely through him. lodging near the skin at the back. He uttered an exclamation, hasten ed to his sleigh, nnd attempted to drive home, but soon sunk down and died. Crotty bad married only a few weeks since, and the con troversy has been more fierce since that time. A Tale hp Lovk.?One quiet uigni in leafy June, when the bees and birds were all in tune, two lovors walked beneath tho moon. The night was fair?so was the maid ; they walked*and talked beneath the shade, with none to harm or make afraid.?her name was Sue and his name was Jim, ami she was fat aud he was slim ; he took to her nnd she to him.

Says Sue to Jim?"I will be true ; if you luvt: me as I love you no knife can eut our love iu two." Says Jim to Sue?"Through thick and thin for your true lovcycr count me in ; I'll court no other gnl agin." Jim leanod to Sue, Sue leaned to him ; his nose just touched her jockey brim, four lips went?went?ahem! ahem! nnd then?and then?and then?and then?nnd then !

The Grand Lodge of tho Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of this State, holds its annual ses don in Charleston on the 20th instant. During the last year this order has received, in tho United State?, sn accession of over 40,000 members, and has expended over $500,000 in aid of the sick and for thf pup port of tho widow nud orphan. Th? Napervllle Tragedy. We have chronicled the fact of the killing of a man named James A. Laird at jN aperville, DuPage county, Illinois, by. Chauucoy Bailey, with whose wife the deceased had been crim- ! iually intimate.1 A Coroner's Inquest has sine* been hold upon the remains, and a verdict rendered in accordance with the facts. From th$ testimony given at the inquest it j appears that Mr. Chauncoy Bailey, tho injured husband,, resided in the western suburbs of | Naperville; that some three months ago one James A. l aird n young and not a bad-looking man, und Jormcrly u resident of the village, returned .Horn the somewhat fust town of Chcyenne^wherc he had held the position of sheriff of the county in which Cheyenne is located, as also the position of deputy United States marjhal of the district. During the three moDths since his return, an improper intimacy grow up between the ex-sheriff and the wife #f Mr. Bailey?an intimacy which although perfectly evident to the community at large, was not known to Mr. Bailey until quite recently. At last a friend of the injured husbaud told him of the disgraceful rumors. Mr. Bailey very properly commenced to in vestigate as to the facts in the case. So, accordingly; he immediately started off to rd?'in, th?t< -is, to speak more accurately, he told his Wife that ho so intended. This de parture for ..Klgin, Mrs. Bailey was informed, would tal e place Wednesday morning But this part^of the programme was not carried out. During the day the ex-sheriff received a note written in a feminine hand conveying the iiiforiiuitiou that. Mr. Bailey had left town for that day. Accordingly Mr. Laird pro ceeded tfe tho house of the womnu about 0 o'clock in the evening. A gentle tap at the door. au? 'Mrs? Bailey admitted him. Soon after the entrance of Laird, Bailey appeared on tbt: ;round?gazing at the guilty pair through "i hole which he had cut out in the window-certain the previous evening. His wife andl^Laird at the time were sitting to gether (jBa lounge in the sitting-room, but |nto an adjoining bedroom. Wait [fow minutes, Bullay burst in the lashing into the bedroom, caught his wife and her paramour jiagrantc delicto. Ltiird attempted to escape, but the outraged husband drew u revolver, and before the liber tine reached the door shot him in the breast immediately over the heart. Five shots were fired in all, only one of which took effect. Laird succeeded ill reaching the open air, ran a few rods, and fell a corpse. Bailey immedi ately gave himself up, but the authorities did not incarcerate him. allowing him to sleep where he desired to in the village. The cause of the above tragedy, or one of] its causes (Mrs. Bailey), is u tolerably hand some woman, about twenty-eight years of age. She commenced her career of iroc-lovo by eloping with a Universalis! clergyman. This first departure from virtuous womanhood was, however, hushed up, the erring woman ap parently becoming n repentant.? Chicago Rc pu/diean* January lf>. CoMiMEItCIAb.?Trade has has been lively during the ,?i?aent week, says the Wilmington Star, especially "on the wharf." Turpentine and Cotton have been on a grand rampage, creating more than usual excitement among dealers. Even the croakers have been forced to gratify UJ with some of their horrid grins, and reluctantly admit that all is not yet lost. Spirits Turpentine at 50 cents and Cotton at 28 (the quotations of yesterday) isn't so bad after all ; and wo hope to see a general improvement in business at an early day. I We have heard much recently concerning the prosperity of tho Cotton States. May wo not hope that the '"tidal wuvu" of rejuvena tiou has reached the Turpentine State!' Wo doubt not we are as well off as our friends further South. Their receipts, being chiefly from cotton, come almost in a body ; while the productions of North Carolina, be ing more vatied, keep trade near the standard of uniformity, and supply our people with greenbacks, though in smaller quantities, throughout the entire year. In summer, when Savannah and Middle are without trade enough to keep a third of their business population occupied, Wilmington is doing her heaviest business in naval stores. No city af the South offers greater induce ment;- to capitalists than Wilmington. We hope they will give us a call b-forc they do* cide where they think they can make the most money. (len. |Tu ard. in an address on Friday night at the emancipation celebration in Washington, said that the colored man had not yet got out ol the woods, and that ho must have the right of suffrage extended to him in' New York nnd Ohio, for he was as much entitled to toto there as he was in this Dis trict, or any of the Sotithorn States. Ho urges Congress to complete the. work in that direction. Some Bonnier Days. Day by day the South gains a better tone. The people are growing more hopeful, and cor respondingly titfong. Through all these State;;' so lately farrowed with cannon balls and sowdd with dragons' teeth there are springing up, and even budding and blooming, the beautiful flowers of peace. Our material interests arc advancing. With pride and gratitude we make the record. Southern produce is going to market in un told quantities, and millions and millions of dollars are coming from the North and from Europe in payment therefor. Here and there the crops may have proved a failure, but a close examination seems to show that the fail ures are exceptional, not tho rule, and that throughout all tho broad South the larger number of tilled acres have given grateful yields. There has been moro heart in the "harvest-home" home songs than for several years, j There is even now a greater abundance of money in the South than has been for many a long year. Wo have been gaining wealth, and what is better, the stern experience of lut tor years has taught us to be economical, pru dent, thrifty. The great business centres of the North have been saying, in view of pro posed enterprises here, "There is no money in the South. On the 28th alt., one New York bank aloue forwarded one and a half millions of dollars to the South. That bnuk is only one of many now called-on to pour into our coffers. The glad evidences are tbat a portion of this wealth will be used, not in dissipation, but in building up the waste places of the South. Wc have as we have said, grown more thrifty. In this general comparative prosperity tho city of Charleston aud the entire State of South Carolin? are, we trust, making a true advance. J ho improvement may, to some, seem blow, but it is none the less sure. With more money-making, come othor and urent improvements. In Government matters wc are becoming more stable, and in tho mat ter of general education we are certainly reach ing a higher plane. We have it is true, some drawbacks, some difficulties. Clouds drift up now and then, liut all the South is fast finding the sources of true wealth. Every true patriot should be glad thereat, for added good to the South means nn added good to the nation. ' ?aa???a? A Hkumai'IIRODITE.?lu Vienna, Cathe rine Ilohannun, a native of Bavaria, is exhib iting herself at tho present time to the physi cians aud naturalists of the Austrian capital. She is neither a man nor woman, a cusu* tia? {twss a enso of hermapkrotlisia vcra IiUrndia. A journalist who saw her, writes to the Vien na frrsn : "1 pitied the poor creature. Al- j though iu good health, and of robust, even beautifully shaped form she sat before me in deep distress and wept. Aud she has wept already a groat deal in her joyless life. She loved a man for twelve years: he loved her too, and even proposed to her to go with him to America, where nobody would know of her misfortune ; he would live with her there and be happy with her. But she refused to ac cept his generous offer, saying she would not make him unhappy. Then she loved, dread ful to say, for seven mouths?a young girl. Both of them were greatly attached to each o'her, until the young girl finally turned from her und married, "from this time forward," says tho poor hermaphrodite, "I could no lon ger look ut the girl; I hated her." The most conflicting feelings always surge in her breast and torment her heart. She feels love for both sexes, and does not belong to either. "What shall I do here on earth?" she exclaimed; what am 1? In my life nn object of scientific experiment, and after my death, an anatomical curiosity !" Proportions of the Human Body.? The proportion of the human figure arc stric tly mathematical. The whole figure is six times the length of the foot. Whether the form be slender or plump, the rule holds good; any deviation from it is a departure from tho highest beauty in proportion. The Greeks made all their statures according to this rule. Tho face, from the highest point of tho fore head, where tho hair begins, to the chin, is one teuth of the whole stature j the hand, from the wrist to tho middle fingers is the same From the top of the chest to the highest point in the forehead is a seventh, if the length of the face, from tho roots of tho hair to tho chin be divided inrs> throe equal parts, the first division determines the place where the eyebrows meet, and the second tho.place of nostrils, 'lhe heigth, from the feet to the top of the head is tho same as the extremity of the fingers when the arms are extended. A young man at Berlin lately lost 20 pounds of flesh and won a wngcr by keeping awake for a whole week. A Wo no eh KUi/ Volcano.?Tho Londo?

The lava is now flowing in every direction from the crater, and devastating the surrounding country. After tho second great outburst, the eruption became somewhat lew < active; but that the mountain is far irom being . likely soou to sink to rest, is evidenced by the fact that deafening denomat ions still continue to bo heard. Ii any further cvldeuee were wnnting of the magnificence of the scale on which Etna is now erupting; it would he found in the fact that the news we have received comes from Valetta, which is upwards of on? hundred and twenty miles from Etna. We are told that crowds assembled at Valetta, to witness the grand spectacle afforded by tho burning mountain." i ? 1 ' ~A" ? Sharp Transaction in a Hofiss Trade. , I ?Quite rccontly a business man who could talk horse very learnedly, aud thought he wan pretty well informed on the subject of horse flesh, swapped a small white for a cream-colored horse by paying such "boot" as he thought gave him "a real bargaiu." shortly afterwards he met a man with a beautiful glossy, coal -black horse, who was willing to swap for the crefiM for an amount of boot named. Our business man accepted the offer very readily, paid the required boot, uud took possession of the coal black. Very soon, however, the coal-black . began to grow rusty in spite of great care in the way of carrying and washing, the rtssy tint increased in rustincss, when upon making I "n scientific examination," the glossy boat* black was found to have been simply another manifestation of the remarkable progress of the country is making in the fine art hair-dyc< ing, and especially horse hair dyeing.

''Take a bit of eotton batting, put upon It a pinch of black pepper, gather it Up and tie, and dip into sweet oil, and insert in the ear. Put n flannel bandage over tho head to keep it warm. It will give immediate relief." Tho New York Tribune says: "Reports come from New Orleans that the Thugs who havo broken up one constitutional convention aud prevented one Presidential election in that city, aro now threatening to murder the Un ion methbers of the Legislature, if that body shall have tho audacity to attempt holding its regular session.
