The lips were white with passion
rather than feacr1 and the lady stood

Wen I could not help but note the
splendid beauty of this grand lady.
Tall and slender, eyes blaok and flah
ing-tlnct lurid now-the spectacle
she presented, standing there in the
middle of the tipartinent, was more
the appearance of a queen than a
hunted cri inal.
"I must," I replied. "1 do not
doubt your innocece. L'oking into
your face, it is strange that any ote
could couple it with guilt ; but I am
constrained to do my duty, madame,

"Will you allow me to change ty
dress? " she said in a tone almiost
pleasant. The hard lines around the
mouth had relaxed, and the passionate
glow on the face gave way to a pleas
ant smile.
"Certainly ; I will wait for you
here."
"I wish also to send a messenger
for a friend ; will you permit him to
pas ?")
"Certainly."
This was myffirst intervit.w with
Eigenia Cornille. I had seen her for
months, the lendern of our gayest and
most fashionable society. In her
splendid mansion sie dispensed the
,most pcrofuse and elegant hospitality.
A Spanish lady-a widow she had
represented herself-and had been a
resident here almnost a year. No one
ever suspected her of being aught
thtan what she seemied, until one day
I was ordered to arrest her as a nmur.
-deress.
It was now alleged, said Mr. F.,
that this young beauty was no other
than tie woman who~ had poisoned her
husband in IHavana, and fled with all
his wealth. An immense reward was
ired for her apprehension, and the
eircumstances that had come to our
knowledge pointed her ouit beyond all
doubt as the person we were in search
of. Yret the person who recognized
her tihe evening before at the th eatre
advised us to bc-careful lest she should
escape us. I laughed at the idea.
Mr. I and myself were surely suffi
cient to arrest a lady. We were old
enough in the ways of cunning to de
feat any such attempt. WVhen the
lady left me I stepped to the window,
andi~ saidi to Mr. I., who was waiting
at the doer :
"The lady desires to send a mes

asked of the leirk.
".A mulatto boy. It was made

There was yet a chance. The
French steamer left within an hour, it
was possible she would seek that
means of escape. I jumped into a
cab and arrived there ten minutes
before she left the wharf--j tt in

rng article appeatred in the Savannalh
News of 'Tuesday, and will .show what
measures at carpet-bagger takes to re
venge an attack nmado on his official
umisconduct by a newspaper:
Our article of S iturday complain
ing of the gross neglect and stupidity
of the carpet baggers in charge of
the Savannah PoatlTie, seems to have
terribly stirred up the buzzard roost
under the Custom 11use.
Last evening, when our colored
mailman applied at the office for our
exchanges by the Western mail, "Old
I Junk" Teely, who is chief of the es
Itablishment in the uboence of the
boody, who, for the past has been re
creating at the North, informed him
him that lie would deliver no mo')re
mails to the Morning News until he
stopped lying about him. On receiv
ing this mnessage, one of our counting
room eirks went to the P~ostoffioe to
enquire the cause of the non-delivery
of our papers, when Seely reiterated
his refusal to deliver over the exchang
es of the Mforning Slwr.
Tihus it will be seen that thtis mis
erable creature, who has been thrust
into a position that lie is utterly unfit to
fill, as a Radical scourge upon the com
munity, has had the audacity to use
the publie office which he disgraces to
resent his personal affronts.
In our notice of the. irregular and
uinsatisfactory manner in which the
ges'al service is administered in the
'avannah postoiffce, we uttered noth
ing but truths which we can prove.
If our remarks were not very compli-'
mentary to the miserable noodle who,]
under Radical dispensation, fills the
position of deputy, still be has no
legal or moral right to deprive usi of
the use of our mails. Theli attempt,
thus to prostitute the postal service to
partisan or personal eiids, Is- an out
rago which would not be tolerated by
the most despotic Government in en~
istanco, and will not, we' feel confi

The Death Bad of a Lion.
Every one may not be soientifio ;
but every one may at least be a close
observer of nature animated and na
ture inanimate. If plain people with
good eyes and open hearts would but
keep a note-book for their original
observations, and jot down in few
words the simple facts of life among
God's lower creatures, the great men
of the d'ay would alwmays have a good
store tf tle material to deal with.
The philosopher would stand at ease
on the grand ple.tforn of truth, and
build with stones ready hewn to his
hand, instead of having to send his
thoughts wide over the land in search
of straw wherewith to make brick for
the house of his wisdom, or perhaps,
to gather oisers for the wattled wig
warm of a nomadic theory.
"Do animals understand what death
is? Da the recognize its coming
signs?'' asked the uninitiated. "No,"
says a gifted philosopher of our ac
quaintance, "you never see animals
apprehending the meaning of death,"
Very well ; ticn here ii a fact.
The writer once strayed into a
menagerie in the north of England,
which had camped for a day or two
in a little mountain metropolis. A
large elderly lion was making an in
voluntary tour of the country in com.
peny with his wife and a fine family
of young people. What an insult to
put the desert monarch into such a
vulgar clap-trap traveling carriage as
this! The name caravan may sound
fine enough out on the pathless sands;
but here it is a thing of creaking
boards, groaning wheels, and rod and
yellow paint. No group of palm
trees here; }et the caravan stops, and
the camp is pitched in the form of a
hollow square, amid such desert talk,
loud roars of satisfaction, growling
coinnent, or shrill protest. One does
not know what it all means-foreign
tongues all of them. But one may
guess at the subjects under remark;
for great lumbering bones are sorely
aching with jolting over rough roads;
long limbs arc tired of being cramped
in narrow cells; soft sides are bruised
with humping over the stones of civ
ilized travel; the Bajezets of the
wilderness are chafing within their
bars; strength and ferooity are fer
menting for want of space; and the
dinner hour has long ago passed away
without a dinner. Ti ue, there are
strong signs of supper in one of the
carriages, whose little pipe of a chim
ney has heeu smoking all day, but
which is fierce now. There is an ag
gravatog allatus of frying bacon per
vuding the place ; and women in jaok.
ets, short flauncod dresses, and laced
leather boots, are clattering among
tea cups; while bold children with
uncombed hair are talking low tra.
velod wit to the gaping boys and girls
who surround the stop-ladder which
acts as stair caso to a lofty door. A
platform is now thrown out from the
front of the square ; prodi
gious portraits of impossible monsters
are unrolled and affixed ; and, as if
stimulated by unheard of dangers
with which they theaten society,
crowds are daring enough to mount
the steps. We slip with a vague feel
ing of awe behind the arras, and. look
around. An elephant with a hill of
d un-colore d forehead, and with legs
like pillars of Hercules, is swaying
his significant trunk this way and that,
ever a stockade of bare. 13ut what Is
the miatter with that grand old lion ?
lie is in pain ; surely he is in pain.
His breathing is short, and is drawn
with effort ; nostrils are spread wide,
lips drawn back, and that great shag
gy chest heaves uneasily. He ia suf

The Gold Ring--Latest bevelopmnent.
We have published sevetal state.
ments from various Nee York papers
in reference to the conoversy as to
the complicity ofo entain of the offi
cials of the Administration with the
late "sold ring" and movement. The
New York World contaias the follow
ing summary of the controversy:
"If Mr. Jay Gould has made false
statements, it is possible 1p prove them
false. Until such proof Is furnished

scandalously naar the doors of the

"1. That his intimacy with Mr.
Corbin, Gen. Grant's brother-in-law
has been close and confidential, and
that, during the summer, their meet

'-2. That Gen. Butterfield was ap.

that Corbin's brokers purchased $800,

with this margin on account of the
President.
"4. That Sir. Gould had a personal
interview with the President in the
summer, at Corbin's house, in which
the President told Gould that
no gold would be sold before the let

Sit aud Oita Aid4 to New Railroads.
At a time when, over the whole
breadth of the South, there is a mania
for ne railroads, and where, in many
era no wataings from dearly bough
i pevlace seerm to be heeded; the foll
lowing remarks are worthy- of the
thonghtful attention of legislators and
the puhlic generally.
There are projected roads in one own
State, which, if built, must certainly lee
uarenIeertlee when builr, and in
a'rnggling for business will damage ex
isting propertios forced by stern necessi
ty to retain their freights by low rates,
with thti very marked disadvantage
that t..e old roads are owned by private
stgekholders, who not' only suf.r for
their ghblic spirit and enferprise in fur
nishing the public with facilities of
transportation, but .through the means
of the tax gather, are actually compell
44 to contribute money to measures
which destroy their own investments.
Judge King, President of the West
Point and Atlanta Road, remarks in
his annual report :-"The uncertainty
of all rail road investments is much in
creased by the growing policy of 'State
aid,' in neighboring States as well as in
our own. No railroad built with the
qapital of the shareholders, to .ata fy the
real wants of the couals/, can be long
secure againet a rivalry and competition
tnder the patronage of the State. No
policy can be uore unjust and oppres
sive than the policy of 'State ai,.l" It.
is a, distinguishing feature of this policy,
that the 4itizen who has built his oion
enterplise, with his own means, is taxed
to build up rival enterprises, by which
his own may be ruined. In other worsis,
he is forced to contribute money flir the
destruction of his own property I The
effects of this-policy are no longer left
to theory. Proof is abundant, that
roads will be built with little regard to
the wants of the public, if men are- al
lowed to organize and build them at the
public expense. Hence vast amounts of
capital are wasted that might hove been
better employed--ton apt to be followed

The Housewife's Problem Solved at Last.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commericial writes as follows from San
Francisco:
The problem which every housewife
in-the world has been watching with
interest from the beginning of time is
going to be solved, so far as this country
is concerned, by the Chinaman. In th'e
capacity of house servants lie has not,
according to the universal opinion here
among housekeepers, a serious fault or
any disagreeable habit from which it is
not possible to break him in a very short
time. They are very tidy ; they like
steady etmployment.- uniform ways, and
ask few priviliges; they are honest, fr.
gal, careful And industrious, and t-ke
great pride in the excellence of their
work, whether in cooking or in chani
ber work, or as body servants, or as
general waiter., or bell boys. They do
all classes of work that the American
servant girl dio.s. Many of them in the
State are e mpioyed as child nurses anid
seamstresses.
A lady with whom .1 conversed here
the wife of a banker and a very ptomi

Berlin, the Garden Oity of Germany.
A correspondent at Berlin, Prussia,
writes to a Chicago paper as follows :
I do not think I In any way exagger
ate when I state that Berlin has at least
3,000 public gardens, in addition to
which nearly every manufactory and
private house has also its own little gar
den spots, tastefully arranged with al.
coves, bowers, and places of retirement
atd rest, full of the most beautiful roses
and other choice fiowers, filling the it
with perfume, and making the hearl
glad by its surroundings. ,The publi
gardens are laid out in the most tasteful
manner, and in the evening when lit up
by the various colored gas lights, the
reflection of these lights upon the per.
eons reminds one of such fairy scenes at
we witness in the "Black Crook" and
"White Fawn."
One of these gardens, and perhaps
the most magnificent one, is Kroll ',
and beyond any description I am able
to give on paper. The- space it covert
is about 20 acres, laid out in a most
tasteful manner, with beautiful wide
walks, shade.l by oranee trees and rare
exotic., adjoining bed.; of native flow,
era, in which are placed wondrous foun.
t.ins and finely executed statuary. Ii
the evening this immense garden is illu
ininated by thousands of gas lights,
with various colored globes and prisms,
reflecting the colors of the rainbow,
making night more brilliant than day,
Attached to this garden is a large thea.
tre. in which, every afternoon, some
fine opera is given. That over, the
entire band of about 80 performers pro
ceed to the garden, and there give r
wonderfully fine concert, which laitt
from 8 to 10 o'clock in the evening,
while the visitors, who generally num,
from 0 000 to 8,000, seat themselves
around the tables with their families
and friends, to listen to this enchantii
music and take their evening. meal.
Here you find families the most respec
table of the city ; and in this vast as,
sembly not one word or act do you heat
or see in any way improper; and when
you witness such scenes, yon cannot heel
but feel that the people here realy know
how to, and do, enjoy life much bettor
than we in America; and, when asked by

TuRE HARVEST IN EunorE.--Bi
mail from Europe we hav the follow
in resume of the harvest prospects pre
.atling at the great food supply centres,
on the 1st of Octob 'r, as reported it
Paris:
The accounts of the harvest in Ger
many are very unequal, varying in dif
forent districts from good to far below
average yield. On the whole the grair
harvest of middle Germany was below
the average; that of the Southerr
States was far better. Prom Austria
we hear that the yield of corn is con,
siderably smaller than in the last tw<
years ; the same is true of Roumania.
The Russian harvest is stated to hav<
been good, and the crops have nowher<
failed so completely as in some place
last year. The fodder is everywhere
poor, with the exception of a few moan
tainous districts. There has been very
little clover, and both the hay and str,
rogate have been mnuch injured by the
untavorable weather. On the othei
hand, there has been a good deal o
straw. Both poratoos and beets havt
suffered fro he heat and drought c1
July and the rain of Ang~nsI. The dis
ease has also appeared with more or lesa
virulence in some parts. The hopet
entertamned for the potato harvest ar<
not, therefore, high : btut is said that th<
beet is improviing. The hops are said
to be in a very poot conditIon, psrtly or
account of the weather and partly fron
the insects and the disease, which ha
appeared ini many gardens. Scarcely
q'uarter of the usual yield is expect'ed
B3ut little fruit has been gathered, and
even what was is poor-incquality. Thi
is particularly the case with the appea
and plums. N~or will 1869 be number.
ed among the select vintages, as tht
quantity of grapes is small and theli

often told the Cortes that the loss of
Cuba is merely a question of time. For

There may be found some men who
