We chronicle the-fpcts as we heard them of one 6f tho' most remarkable oases of partiul ahoration of .the men tal faculties, an idiosyncracy as rare as it is interesting in a philosophical point of view. A single lady, in her third decade, residing in this county, of most respectable parentage 'ani' connections, and in possession of am. pletneacs, became acquainted some ten years rgo with ,a miister (f the Reformed church who was then and is at present living in Pennsylvania. - He was here at that time on a visit. she beard him preach but once, tind during his brief sojourn but the most. common courtesies of the most casual acquaintance ever passed between them. Since that time shc has read a work published, of which he is the author, and has also read, as they up peared from time to time, several ar tioles of his which were published in a church paper. About a year ago she fancied that the reverend gent re. ferred to had gone through a regular and formal courtship (by letter), that she had accepted him, and that the weddiug day was fixed, not an early one to be sure, but nevertheless one agreed upon by the contrac'ing par. ties. Thib fancy grewin her mind to a fixed-aud eettled faot, and during the past year she has been very indus triously empl. y.ed in getting and pre paring the thousand and one things auppqsed to be indipensable to a lady's trosseau, and also in having ready some of the articles required in house-keeping. At the proper time she ordered an an.ple supply of elegant cake, fruit, contectionary, &c:, indeed, omitted no particular in the variety of an elegant 'and bountiful bridal feast ; then the ivitatiois were izsued, and this brings us to ti e bridal eve, when all was ready but the bridegroom-he was hundreds of miles away, and in blis:ful ignorance that his coming was so anxiously look - ed for, his preseno so necessary to a continuation of the ceremoni.s. So admirably had the lady arranged all her plans-so exactly and succesafull3 had she executed them, that it w.at not until the very last moment that her relatives and friends had reason to believe that she was the victim (if an hallucination. She' now think: that some accident, sonmc dispensation of provi'ernce, prevented bis coming at the time appointed, but he will surely come she doubts not. This i6 such a case ai demand our sincere sympathies, although some un fcling brutes may find in it a source ol coarse jest and vulgar mirth. We ma add that on all other sulejects her mind is iso'nd as a dollar.-Predrick (JId.) Union. Theodore Tillon's Ticket. The Golden .Age (Theodore Til ton's paper) confesses with somethibg of a groan that the Republicans, to *judge from present appearances, will have nothing better as a piatform than to pretend that inasmuch as Mr. ISoutwell has reduced 'the public 'dbbt "Gen, Grant should be bound upon our backs for a second tornrj." To season the .ticket with a ' more palatable ingredient, the Golden Age insists that the Republican *pirty ought to give its next Vice Presidepo y to a negro-say for in strance, F rederlek Douglas or Robert ~urvis, or Senator Revels. or sonme olher excellent citisen whose civic vIrtures God lhas clad in the divine cocieliness of a dark skin." It a ppeals to Mr. tireoley, and asks "Will the Tribune use its great influence 'to execute this justice." , Pnshment of a Gambler. VIhe laws of Kentucky puniish very ad'rerely persons convicted of setting up end playing the game known as eobiok-a-luck. P. Nolan, of Coving ton, was indicted by the' grand jury SCamnpbell county for an offense of thy~ kind, committed at a picnic of tire Grand Army of the Republic, in Jores' Woods, back of Newport, about a ear ago, and his trial took place on 8aturday, in the Criinal Court. .jury brought in a verdict of gu .and adjudged that he pay a fne o' *hundred dollars, or be conaned ini tl# countj jail for two hundred and .flfy days ; to be forever deemed in faimous, and disqualified fromi exer ofg ng the right of suffrage, or hold lo any ofliom, of honor, profit or strust 'lahe Comumonwealthi of Kentucky. 'h I 7F.outbgate, of North. A j, Englana, lately sufprised his bhrera by declarihug that buttons, b~ ooppers, old tobacco quids, and the like of that were not acceptable ljriogs to the Lord, and'that, te d~u urage the'udeally rather generous ~qpouring of such contributions, the fUure collecotions of his church would b itaken in open plates. A Ilurderer Makes Con fessIqa an'd Choos es lls. Executiouer. Chas. Thompson, irrested for th< murder of his employer, Wip. -t Crip pn, of Potosi, Mo., has confess, ed his crime.. He makes no meni tion of any money on. the ,pol son. 01 Crippen at the time, as an in ucomenl to tle .nturdpy, nor that any bad .beq taken froi his poeltts subsequent .tc the commision of the crime. Out side those1 btatemnents, however, he repeatedly assured Sheriff. Clarke that Crippen must have had upon bit person at the 'time sonewbere froti $250 to $300, and that, if any one got it at the time of the murder, it mnust have Mitchell, when he draggod the body from the road into the bushes. He also stated to- that officer that all the money he had 6u the trip with Crippen' was $6 that he had got the latte/ to advance him ; and yet' the' faot ls susceptible of proof that lie did exptad $21 for a suit of clothing at Jaoksonport, on his flight, immediately after the mur der. Thompson was reuidily identi. fled along the route, at Doiphan, by various citizens, as the traveling coin. panion of the murdered man, and thQ one who had been seen .cngaged in earnest convermation with Mitchell at Warm Springs, at Haim's house, at various places in Doniphan, and just before leaving that place. Before arriving at Doniphan in custody last Thursduy, the prisoner spoke in ternis of the utmost levity and indifference of the fact that he expeeted to be hanged for the murder of Crip pen, only expressing solicitude that ha might have a fair trial, and that if such should be his fate, Sheriff Clarke would come dome down from Poto.i and perform that little friend ly act for him. Judging Soil by Timber. Almost any one knows that the qu diity of sou may in a great. mesa use be determined by t-he tin.ber which grows upon it, but of the ex act nature indicated by the primitive tree, people are not so well posted. Mr. B. Smith, of Patmos, Ohio, writes to the Neav Yoik Farmers' Club of this matter and says that white oak land is poor ; that red oak and soft. maple also indicate poor land ; that shell balk mostly grows in cold, wet land, that flat beech and sugar-maple lands are good for summer crops and grass, but not for wheat ; that rolling beveh nid sugar land where large p plar and black walnut abound are line grazing lands, ald prodoce, when new, large crops of all kinds ex. copt wheat, where it is whiter killed ; that large white oak and chestnut growing together, and black oak and hickory indicate a loose subsoil, and lainds where the water soon sinks into the oubsoil are much the moat valua ble for grain ; that a soil that will raise large ciops of all kinds of grain, and then clover and timothy, and af ter they run out will come in with green grass and white clover, is the best.-Norfolk Virginian. That Tidal Wave. The great "tidal wave" which some papers have "evolved from their inner consciou-ness" as to take place in October 5th, and have credited to Agassis as ai prediction, is creating quiite as mntch interest on some parts of our Atlantio coast as the seond advent prognostications of Cummings and Miller. It is now less than a month to the time when this great rush of waters will be upon us, fromt Florida to Maine, and it is high time w-i wore making preparations to re. eive it. On another similar ocea sion, namely, the first great deluge, our ancestor, Noalh, h ad a warning of many years Considering, therefore, the extent of the expected flood, our notice is a vory short one, Accord inig to the alleged calculations of the learned prof essor,. this: wave is to sweep the. whole .Atlantic coast, "te the height of fifty feet or more, on the nigh4 of the fifth or the morning ol the sixth of October. We should think sorne folks along shore woiuld be likely to got wet. 4nder the cir cumnstanccs.--Baltimore Susn. Trhe Newberry Hiorald says A bout I o'olock last Saturday morning it was discovered ly the guard at the jail that some of the prisoners wert sakedad d in t from the rear.

Van H. was alone, busily .engage in household duties, when tqiddenly the two chil dren, aged. five and eight, ran into the ranch ory ing, "Maamma, namina, the Indians, the Indians." Two Ohotft fired at the children struck the thick oak door just as the young mother shut it in the face of three Cheyenie warriors. After bolting the door and piling bed, bureaiu and stove before it, the mother sent her little ones into the cellar and shut them in. Taking a revolver and an old rusty rifle, the heroic young woman stood near the open window, shooting only when a painted face made itself visible in the brush. - Although the t ifle was rusty and out of order, the sight of it at the window with the dragon revolver held the three sneaking redskins at a respectful distance. For two hours did Mrs. ran 11. watch and wait the return of her husband and the min w.ith him.

An old Scotch ininitter. on' being asked to preach .a aprqp.on in favor eq tality, at a time of great excite citemont, on the subject, said at th. close of a sermon in tiubstance as fol luws : You ask me to preach a st rinon on equality. Since that time I have ranged in vision through the vegeta. ble world ; I saw flowers of equal lus. tre and perfume, trees of equal luztre and perfume, trees of unequal lustre and perfume, trees of unequal height and value, but there was no equality.. I pas ed thro'igh the animal king domit, and saw the trained horses and the fierce beasts of prey, the linnet and the hawk, the sparrow and the eagl?,the sheep-tmnd the horse, cacti occupying a relative sphere. In the Sea wthere the mi'ollua 1 an1i the whal.., the dolphin and the Mhat k the timid and tli fierce, each prop. r ly orgainized and doing its proper Ia bor, but I saw no equality. L-istly, I entered the gate of boa vei, and on a great white thione sat the Judge of the universe ; cherubim aid seraphim fell before him, angels of lesser degree did his bidding. I found seven heavens rising above each other, but nto equality there. I gaz;d on the stars, and found "one star dif forent from another star in glory,'' but there 'was no equality. So you see that there is no eq'uality in all God's vast kingdom. There is no more modest and sen sitive man than the R1ev. Dr. Willisam R1. Williams, the eminent Baptist divine, Hie recently published a oharning little work on the three parables in the 15th of Luke, the appropriate title of which was: "The Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, and the Lobt Son." Imagine the horrible feelings of the sensitive divine when he saw the typographical blunder of the Christian Union, which reviewed It under the title of "The Lost Sheep, the Lost Cow, and the Lost Sow." The mischievous attempt to estab lish mixed s'chools of white and color. ed in Louisiana, lies resulted as might have been anticipated, most disas trously. TIhe ill-feeling created has destroyed the usefulness of the schools for both white and eolored, the at tendanoce is greatly retduced, and the expense of public instruction greatly increased. The baby-brokerage business in New York is curiously illustrated in the ease of a Dr. Willett. ThIs mant received $80 to take charge of a baby and keep. it until some respectable person would adopt it ; but an h'our after the receipt of the child and money, tehe former was loft at the doer of the.Foundling Hoeapital suffer ing from somec powerful narcotic which Willet had admninistered.

A humming-bird's head with dia mnnd cyca isa new car-ring. A Sad Filly History. . The New Orleans Picayune tellb .he following: Shortly after the close of the war, Mrs. Beach, living near Carroll ton, went insane. The cause of ber derangement was uttributed to the loss of her husband in one of the nu tnerous conflicts in Virginai.. Not. trithstanding the unsound condition of her mind, she went about her daily duties as t...nal, taking care of qhildren-bbe had two, a boy and a girl-and sewing for their support. It was only in conversation that her infirmity was apparent. and her utter avei sion for society. Naturally weak and delicate in her organization, her overtaxed strength gave way under the arduous work she perfomed and day by day her thin, pale face grew careworn, and her soft and silent footsteps drew nearer and nearer to the grave. But to all inquiries of friends about her besilth she would shake her head, and say "I'm well ; I can't die; who would care for my little ones ?" The sad and lonely life of the woman exolted c.nmpassion, but she would take no alms. She toiled early and late ; but not a great while since she went for a-gentleman living a short distance from her, and when he arrived saiJ to him, "I am going to die now; my children are provided for." In less th.in two days she was dead, and contpnp.,ra neous with the fact cane the ittelli gence that by the death of an uncle the children had Lecoome heirs to a large fortune in Mar3land. What is Home? "[lowe," says Robertson in his sermons "is the one place where hearts are sure of each other. It i, the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mak of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defence and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tendernems gush out without any sensation of awk wardnjess, and without any Aread of ridicule. Let a man travel where he will, home is the place to which 'hio heart untraveled fondly turns.' He is to double all pleasure there. He is to divide pain. A happy home is the single spot of rest which a man has upon this earth for the eulti vation of his noblest enibilities." "The Union Troops from the South." The Louisville Courier argue, that the best blood of the South was in the Confederate army because of the inferior quality of the Union troops from the dlave-holding States, who lost more flags than they cap tured, while the Union troops fronm the non slave-helding States captured 'uore flags than they lost. The Courier is right in its conclusiotis, but wrong in its Fretnises. It is a .ell known fact that the so-called Virginia, Texam, and Carolina regi ments in the Union army were not composed of Southerners, but were made up nearly entirely of foreigners. negroes and the seourings of Northern cities. We disclaim all responsibili ty for their short comings, 2awl ask no credit for their prowess.-Charksatot Protection of Cabbage Agalast Worms. To procure an efficient remedy against the anvages of the cabbage is a desideratum long needed by our vegetable gardeners and farmers. Mr. Thomas S. Trigg, of Montgornery county, a gentleman of nice observa tion, assa, es us that stale soap suds applied to the heads of cabbago will drive away and keep away all worms. There is something about the soap suds especially obnoxious to the worms, and a few applications of it will pro. toot the cabbage from their ravages. There is another advantage in the use of soap sudd--it fertilizes the land and induces a more vigorous growth of the plant. We haope every farmer who reads this will give it a trial and report on Its efficiency .-Nashvle Union. An Introdndilos, Joffersou D.avis recently dined at the Atkins House, Knoxville, Tena. WVhen conting out of the dining-room, Entrrell, a waiter at thA hotel, ad. dressed Mr. Davis as fpllows: 'Here 's Mars Jeff Davise; used to know yon in Virginny. Hlow do you do Mars Jeff?

Bursell then asked Mr. Davis if he was acquasinted witht CUaptains Roll,.paoprietor of the At kius Iouse, and be'sag answered in the negative proffere4 an introduction, and, asiting th actien to the word, performed the ceremony with many flourishes: 'Mars.JeK Davis, 'low inc to introduce Mars J ames Bell; Mars James l)oll, tlyis is are Jeff Davis.' ofmalling each othqrs acquaintance. -1t is'al ways in y4ur power to make an enemy by smile(; what folly, then, to make an oneomy py frowns.

There is no timber like it. Firm in the grain and capable of the finest poli-h ; the tooth of no inbect will touch it, and time itself can hardly destroy it. Diffusing a perpetual fragrance through the chambers which it coils, the worm will not corrode the book which it protects, nor the moth corrupt the garment which it guards ; all but immortal itself, it transfuses its amaranthine qualities to objects around it.

In pars ing through Chicago he was met by Mr. Wentworth and Mr. Grinnell, formerly member of Congress frout lowa.
