Do the ladies and gentlemen of the town
?jYct Witness country enjoyments?the rude
:and *ivnple pleasures of the masses ? They do
riot, and to them is this dedicated. If the en
joyment of the "Lower Tcu" is not so rc
eVerehc is it less satisfactory to them than
^ttftertMjg bulLrooms with their accomplish
awKrts, are to the "Upper." Their cup is
filled to the" brim, nor should the exclusive,

chapter to a frolic at night. Frolic! who
would have guessed frolic ? not Old Bay, an
he dropped in at the house of a frieud after a
day's labor, weary and worn, at seeing a quilt
-with a few rosy young damsels working away
with the nimble needle, for dear life, as demure
as sleepy pusay cuts. Nor even when one or
two of the boy* dropped in about sundown,
like stray stars coming out before daylight is
gone. The said stars dressed and pomatumed
to the extent of their finunciul abilities, look
ing extremely uneasy and sheepish in stiff
homespun and rigid colar. But presently
more arrive, singly, in couple* or in little
groups o? U*U? ?i:aCo. Now O. B, ?uiello u

Lively go the needles, and lively chatter the
tongues of rustic belles as ever and anon tho
owners arc pctteted by bashful homespun for
the ovening ovolves the starlike sparkles of his
rustic wit, aud everything goc# merry as a

Old Boy is in* tho way, he entrenches him
self on a table behind a pile of bIiuwIs and
and goes off into n snooze. Meanwhile the
quilt goes up to <he ceiling, it is merely an ex
c use, and a sort of Vh'nd to the old folk*. Thry
don't see iuU suoh things of course. Among
the girls there is some demure talk of going
homo, but some half dozen hats belonging to
the prettiest are thrown up to the ceiling on
the overhanging quilt?and how can they
leave without theii hats, mama ? Finally thoy
conclude to ttay a ftv? miaute?. For n certain
period O. B. is oblivious, but is at- last awak
ened by

Ok how I Ioto my Susy gal,

But the road's too long and the horse too poor,
To court my Su-oo-sie gal.
Oh I love my Susie gal,
Oh how I lore avy Sue,
But the road's too long and th? horse too poor,
Good bye my Susie ga-a-11.
Hereupon one of the asteroids takes upon
himself the role of the poor knocked-kuecd
horse, and antics over and around until some
compassionate fitie meets him half-way, when
an infinitesaimal amonut of Masousic courting
ia performed, and ?aaie gal and pardner back
out and give place to the next couple. This
goes on until each and every Susie has been
sound(Iy) smacked and danced out of breath.
As it may be supposed, O. B. was very
interested about this time, and resolved to
snoose with ouc eye and both cars open.
The name of the poet who was delivered of
the next jig, O. B. never could ascertain.

The next refrain took (). B. hack to the
time when he was a ten year old. that the
larger girls kissed to tantalize the "grown

O. B. was kissed when he was little?wheu
he was big?some. Is it disagreeable now he
is old boy ? 1 am afraid not, would he like to
sweep his appreciative lips ovei that peachy

cajole, palaver, negotiate, or flank, (military)
and arrive at such a con sum at ion. But would
it be n pleasure to sixteen?not n bit, so O. B.
will refrain from mixing old wine in new bot

Boiihie-Headotl Colored (.iris.
Tho New Orleans Picayune thus describes a
wonderful natural curiosity, to be socn in that
city :
We paid n 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 ono. For conven
ience, wo shall speak of them In the plural.
They ?ri entirely distinct, ns far as mind is
concerned, laughing and chatting with each
other, and. being apparently upon the most in
timate, terms, and oue may have a headache or
a cold without the other being affected, but
any fever, or othor serious disease affects both
equally. Their bodies are separate from the
small of the back tip ; each halving a perfectly
formed bust, nnd head, two arms, Ac., and each
hus two legs, but there is only one trunk.
Both are remarkably intelligent, reading aud
writing with ease, while their munuers uro re
fined. In quite a leugthy conversation, they
did uot make a single grammatical error, and
their language wus uuuBuully select. Upon
questioning them as to their education, they
replied that they hud beeu carefully taught by
thoir former mistress, Mrs. Smith, in Colum
bus, North Carolina, in which village they were
born. They arc now fifteen years old, aud
more than ordinary bright for girls of their
age, having hud the advantage of foreign travel.
They both sing very sweetly, one having a so
prano, and the other a contralto voice, and we
havo rarely heard two voices that blended so
perfect in a duct. Among their other accom
plishments is that of dancing, aud 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 fiat upon the floor, but rest upon the
toes. In walking, however, they step with nil
thoir feet nnd walk with perfect ense with the
other two. In speaking of them as one, they
aro culled Mille-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
sic, in addressing her other half, call her '-Sis
ter. " There is a striking resemblance between
their faces, and conformation o! their heads is
much the same?Chrissie being perhaps u
shade 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.
Terridle Tragedy at Monroe, Wiscon
sin?A Girl Kills her Seducer.?A dis
?paivrh-dated Malison, WtscomiUjiJjinuarVt^ ?
says: mm^^^
Intelligence has just been received here of
a tragedy in Monroe, Green count}', of which
the following are the particulars obtained from
entirely reliable authority: Patrick Crotfy, an
Irishman, somewhat noted for his exploits
among the fair sex, seduced a young serving
Woman named Angelino Shroyer, some two
years since, and a long suit followed about thu
maintenance of the child. The girl's father
proposed' on her behalf, to settle the matter
for an indemnity of $o00 and the costs of the
suit. Crotty had come to tho Monroe House
where angcline wus working, to make payment
nnd taking a* receipt in full. Hero a dispute
occurred, Crotty claiming that the amount
should he only S300 iu all. Crotty was quite
boisterous iu 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 Innglinge,
and some say, with violent gestures, she tired,
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, and attempted to drive home,
but soon sunk down nnd died. Crotty hail
married only a few weeks since, and the con
troversy has been more fierce since that time.
A Tale of LOVE.?One quiet night in

Sue to Jim?"1 will be true ; if you love me
as I love you no knife can cut our love in

The ftaperrllle Tragedy.
m . m*m# ? ri .. ?>.. . bui
We har? chrdnioled the. fact of the killing
of a uian named James A. Laird at Naperville,
DuPage county, Illinois, by Chauncey Hai ley,
with whose|;Wife the deceased had been crim
inally intimate. A Coroner's inquest has sine*
been held Upon the remains, and a verdict
rendered in accordance with the facta.
From tld" testimony given at the iuquest it |
appears tha? Mr. Chauncey Bailey, the injured
husband, raided in the western suburbs of I
Napcivillc; that some three mouths ago one
James A. Laird a young and not a bud-looking
man, und .formerly a resident of the village,
returned horn the somewhat fust town of
Chcvetuie^whcre he hud held the position of
sheriff of Wie county in which Cheyenne is
located, as also the position of deputy United
States manual of the district. During the
three months since his return, aniuiprojer
intimacy grew up between the ex-sheriff and
the wifu #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 friond of the iujurcd
husbaud told him of the disgraceful rumors.
Mr. l'ailcy very properly commenced to in
vestigate as to the facts in the case. So,
accordingly, he immediately started off to
Klgin, thj? - is, to speak more accurately, he
told his wife that ho so intended. This de
parture i'or Klgin, Mrs. Bailey was informed,
would take place Wednesday morning But
this part^pf the programme was not carried
out. During the day the ex-sheriff received a
note written in a feminine hand conveying
the information that Mr. Bailey had left town
for that day. Accordingly Mr. Lnird pro
ceeded te tho house of the woman about
9 o'clock iy the evening. A gentle tap at the
door, and Mrs? Bailey admitted him. Soon
after the entraucc of Lnird, Bailey appeared
on tht: ,round?gazing at the guilty pair
through hole which he hud cut out iu the
window-certain the previous evening. His
wife aiu?L.l,alrd at the time were sitting to
il lounge in the sitting-room, but
[nto an adjoining bedroom. Wait
Jew minutes, Builoy burst in tho
ashing into the bedroom, caught
bis wifo and her paramour jlajrautr delicto.
Lnird attempted to escape, but the outraged
husband drew a revolver, and before the liber
tine reached the door shot.him iu the breast
immediately over the heart, hive shots were
fired in all. only one of which took effect.
Laird succeeded in reaching the open air, ran
a few rods, and fell a corpse. Bailey immedi
utt y gave himself up, but the authorities did
not incarcerate him. allowing him to sleep
where he desired to iu 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 1'rcc-lovo by
eloping with a Cnivcrsalist clergyman. This
first departure from virtuous womanhood was,
however, hushed up, the erring woman ap
parently becoming n repentant.? Chicagtt Re

Co.MMKKCIAl..?Trade has has beeu lively
during the ,M?sciit 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 114 with some of their horrid grins,
ami reluctantly admit that all is not yet lost.
Spirits Turpentine at ">0 ( cuts and Cotton
at 28 (the quotations of yesterday) isn't so
bad after all ; and we hope to see a general
improvement in business at an early day.
We have heard much recently concerning
the prosperity of the Cotton States. May wo
not hope that the "tidal wave" of rejuveua
ttOU has reached the Turpentine State?
Wo doubt not we arc 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 varied, 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 Mobile arc
without trade enough to kcer a third of their
business population occupied, Wilmington is
doing her heaviest business in nav: ! stores.
No city ttf the South offers greater induce
ments to capitalists than Wilmington. We
hope they will give us a call before they do
eidfe where they think they can make the most
money.

Day by day the South gains a better tone.
The people are growing more hopeful, and cor
respondingly fltfottg.
Through all these States: so lately furrowed
with cannon balls and sowed with dragons'
teeth thcro 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 rcoord.
Southern produce is going to market in un
told quantities, and millions and millions of
dollars ore coming from the North and from
Europe iu payment therefor. Here and there
the crops may havo proved a failure, but a
close examination seems to show that the fail
ures are excoptioual, not tho rule, and that
throughout all tho broad South the larger
number of tilled acres have given grateful
yields. There has been more heart in the
"harvest-home" home songs than for several
years, j
There is even now a greater abnudance of
money in the South than has bceu for many a
long year. Wo have bcon gaining wealth,
and whut is better, the stern experience of lut
ter 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 hjre, "There ia no money
in the South. On the 28th ult., oue New
York bank aloue forwarded oue and a half
millions of dollars to the South. That bank
is only one of many now called-on to poor into
our coffers.
Tho glad evidences are that 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 the
city of Charleston and the entire Stato of
South Caroline arc, we trust, making a true
advance, 'i be improvement may, to souse,
seem blow, but it is none the less sure.
With more money-making, come other and
^. cat 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. Cloud.- drift up now and thou.
Hut 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 an added good to the nutiou.
A HKiiMArunoDiTE.?lu Vienna, Cathe
rine Hohanaun, a native of Bavaria, is exhib
iting herself at the present time to the physi
cians and naturalists of the Austrian capital.
She is neither a man nor woman, a lusits ?o>
tw se a case of hermapfu-otlisia vera latcrt?i?.
A journalist who saw her, writes to the Vien
na t*rrt?: "1 pitied the poor creature. Al
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 great 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. Hut she refused to ac
cept his generous offer, saying she would not
make him unhappy. Then she loved, dread
lul 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 itnd married, "from this time forward,"
says tho poor hermaphrodite, "I could no lon
ger look at the girl; 1 hated her." Tho
most conflicting feelings always surge in
her breast aud 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 I? In my life an
object of scientific experiment, and after my
death, an anatomical curiosity !"
Proportions of the Human Body.?
The proportion of tho human figure arc stric
tly mathematical. The whole figuro 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 the
highest beauty in proportion. The Greeks
mado all their statures according to thiB 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; 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 he divided into throe equal parts, the
first division determines the place where the
eyebrows meet, and the second tho place of
nostrils. 1 he heigth, from the feet to the top
of the head is the same as the extremity of
the fingers when the arms arc oxtended.

outburst, the eruption became somewhat less
active; but that the mountain is far from being
likely soon to sink to rest, is evidenced by the
fact that deafening denomations still continue
to be heard. II any further evidence were
wanting of the magnificence of the scale on
which Etna is now erupting, it would be found
in the fact that the news we have received
comes from Valetta, which is upwards of one

?Quite recently a business man who could

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

he meta man with u beautiful glossy, coal-black

began to grow rusty in spite ot great care in
