Lol another modern Borgia! Will the line stretch out to the crack of doom? From Louisville this latest story comes, and it is to the effect that some twelve years ago there came to that city from Germany a young and beautiful girl, named Catherine Melchior. She sub? sequently went to the village of Rook port, further up the river, and obtained service in tho family of an old and wealthy farmer, named Sharp. About two years afterward, Mrs. Sharp died very suddenly. After mourning for her death for un appropriate poriod, Mr. Sharp bethought him to marry his come? ly house-keeper, and she coyly consented on condition that he would deed her his farm, valued at about $25,000, and cer? tain moneys and other property. This the old muD agreed to do, and in due oonrso of time all the necessary papers for the transfer were legally drawn and plaoed in Catherine's bauds. Then the wedding took place, and for a year or two the affairs of the new household pro? gressed prosperously, when Sharp also grew suddenly sick and died. The rich widow, still young and beautifnl, was before many months sought and ob? tained in marriage by Mr.Batohellor, of Evansville, who, after two or three years, went the way of all preceding flesh. Abont this time tho similarity' of the complaints whercmuu all three ol these persons had come to their death began to attract public attention, and the usual exhumation, discovery of poison, and arrest of the woman. speedily followed.

In the year 1812, Midshipman Spenaer was hung till he was dead, from the | yard-arm of the Uuited States brig Somers, for mutiny and attempt at piraoy on the high seas. The whole country was shocked by the dreadful fate of the young man, and was loath to be? lieve him guilty of the alleged orime. He wat of an excellent family in New York/and had been carefully trained by a good mother. His father was one of tue first men in the country, and was at that very time Secretary of War. That a youth so connected should have been guilty of so foul a conspiracy, while yet in his teens, seemed altogether improba? ble to a largo number of persons. But the explanation given of his precocious villainy wns that his whole moral nature bad been corrupted by vicious reading; that his favorite study was the "Pirate's Own Book," and that his highest ambi? tion bad become to be such a pirate leader as Kidd, Lafitte, or other mon? sters, described in that vile book. So it was said that he went to work with the common sailors, and got them to agree to marder the officers of the brig and then turn it into a piratical cruiser, and make the Isle of Pines the placo of de? posit for booty. The letters of James Fisk, Jr., which have been published in most detestable taste, show the influence of the dime novel and the obsoene newspaper. His mind was deeply imbued with the filthy, sensational literature of tho loyal North, which is exerting u most baneful influ? ence over the whole country. Jim evi? dently derived his ideas of tho grand and heroic from the flashy novels nud pictorial weeklies of the Satanic school. Doubtless his early traiuiug and his as? sociation made him a sharper and a swindler, but the dime literature of the ponod made him a maudlin, sentimental libertine. This same pernicious reading is poison? ing the mind and hearts of our Southern youth. In bookstores, in hotels, in cars, in stage-coaohes, in steamboats, in book? stalls and on tho streets, the most perni? cious books and periodicals are bought and sold, are read and remembered. In tho course of time, this noxious seed will bring forth a plentiful harvest of Spencers and Fisks. Tho Southern people will not snpport their own literature, nor books, nor re? views, nor quarterlies, nor monthlies, nor weeklies, nor dailies. The filthy productions of the great modorn Sodoms are eagerly sought for, and after a time, we, too, may havo a Mrs. Woodhull, a I Cady Stanton, a Bishop Simpson and al Henry Ward Beecher.-Southern Home. PowEn OP THE PRESS.-I love to hear I the rumbling of the steam power pross, better than the rattle and roar of artil? lery. It is silently attacking and van? quishing the MulakotTd of vice aud Kodons of ovil; and its parallels nod ap? proaches cannot bo resisted. I liko the click of typo in thu composing stick, better than the click of tho musket in the hands of tho soldier. Tt bears u leaden messenger of deadlier power, of 1 sublimer force, and of usurer aim, whioh will hit its murk, though it is a thousand yours. - Chopin. MATRIMONY UNDER DIFFICULTIES. They ha.se a queer way ~i -doing ap things matrimonial down at Cave City, wher? the Grand Duke took bis hash on Thursday night, and parted from hja Louisville guests. Says the Louisville Ledger: "David Brown is a rollicking son of Kentucky, a true type of the damificare village or country youth who is jost entering upon his maturity. Maria Martin is, or waa, a villago maiden of some charms and a good deal of spirit and a genuine Kentucky girl. David and Maria courted and loved and agreed to marry; but for some reason David pot off the solemnization of the nuptial from time to time, until Maria's pa? tience became exhausted, and meeting her lover, she said to him, with more emphasis than elegance: 'I tell you what it is, Dave, you've got to dry up this nonsense and quit your fooling; for it's about tima we was married, and I want yon to com? to time.' "Dave" thought he would oome to time; bnt then, as the parties had met on the platform of the depot at Cavo City, David was at a loas to know where ha and Maria would have the ceremony performed. Marin's wits were ?harp enough for tho emergency, and B > she told David she would provide a place, abd Btartcd him off to the County Clerk for the necessary lioen.se. During his abaenoe Maria entered tho depot and asked the station agent for tho privilege of being married upon tho platform in front of the depot. "Cer? tainly," replied the polite agent, "or right here ia the depot if yon prefer." Bot Maria preferred the platform. David soou returned with tba license, followed by his brother, who swore th? wedding should not take place. And then tho brother ueed shocking cuss words, and draw a pistol, which fairly railed David, who also flirted out u re? volver, and would have speedily de molished the interfering brother but foi the interposition of the by-standers, who hustled the offender away from thc soeue. The marriage then took placo, tin parties standing oat in the cold upot tho platform while the ceremony wa; gone through with. David rather en joyed the novelty of the affair. "Bj gosh, thin ia bully; ain't it, Mariar?" hi exclaimed. "You bet, Dave," repliai Maria; and then the happy couple weo on their way rejoicing, tho happiest pair apparently, ever married at Cave City. TELEGRAPH TKIOKB.-Two young mun telegraph operators, boarding at one o our leading third class hotels, tind grou amusement in ourrying on conversation with each other at the table, by tickiti on their plates with knife, fork or spoon A combination of Bounds or ticks oonsti tute the telegraph alphabet, and person familiar with these sounds can convera thereby us intelligently as with spoke words. A few days ago, while these fun-lovio youths wore seated at breakfast, a stool built young man entered the dining room with u handsome girl on his ara whose blushing countenance showed ht to be a bride. The conple had, in fae been married but a day or two previoa and had come to Ban Francisco froi their home in Oakland, or Mud Spring or some other rural village, for the pu pose of spending their honeymoon. Tl telegraph tiokers commenced as soon ? the husband and wife seated themselve No. 1 opened tho discourse as follow "What a lovely little pigeon this alongside of me-ain't she?" No. 2-"Porfeotly charming--looks if bntter wouldn't melt m her mont JuHt married, I guesa. Don't you thu so?" No. 1-"Yea, I should judga sha wa What luscious lips she's gotl If tb country pumpkin beside her was out the road. I'd give her a hog and a ki just fDr luck." No? 2-"Suppose you try it onyho Qive ber a little nudge under the tal with yonr knee." There is no telling to what extent t impudent rascals might have gone, I for an amazing and entirely unforsc event. The bridegroom's face h flushed, and a dark soowl was on 1 brow during the progress of tho t ie ki conversation; but the operators wore I mach occupied with each other, to \ any attoution to him. The reader n form som idea of the young men's ci sternation, when tba partner of the lo picked up his knife and ticked off I following terse but vigorous message: "This lady is my wife, and as soon she gels through with her broukfasl propose to wring both your necks, j insolent whelps." Tba bridegroom was a telegraph o rator, and "knew how it was himself. [San Francisco Ohronich AN ASTONISHED Jtmoit.-In a civil i in the Albany Circuit Court on Tuesd on the plaintiff taking the stand, it stated that he was the person emplo at Troy to remove small-pox oases to pest house. One of the jurors, who been looking very sharply at L opened wide his month atthisstatemi and, with a suppressed ejaculation surprise and horror, forgot the pro ?ties of the occasion, jumped from seat and hurriedly loft the aoort ro amid the laughter of the oourt. Tl being no jury present, the COHO was over the term [Buffalo (N. Y) Commercial Adverth GREELEY DENOUNCES ABBOT. - Tribune of Saturday last says: "Wo know right well that Vaneo elected Senator und that Abbot WUH As for any legal aspects that aro alic as revering this choioo, they aro to mind simply detestable. Tho Se hus committed u blander that hus effect of a crime in forcing Cove Vaneo to resign tho spat. It may coed if it will to duplicate that errol .seating Abbot, but lilty Sonates c tint mitko this other than tho oui which all who do not profit by it 'know it to bc." Seneca, Kansas, is located ever a coal- | bed, and tlie ot ti secs dig their fuel from their own yards. The Chicago Times says of tba strin? gent law recently enacted by the Radical Legislature of Illinois: "It's a nice law, this temperance statute. Yon can get drunk, larrnp your wife, and knook smithereens out of the furniture, and tben make the man who sold you the virus pay all tho damages." The New York Tribuna commends to the notice ol Ameriosn "statesmen," who hesitate at universal amnesty, seven years after the conclusion of the civil war, the example of the French Assem? bly, which has just approved the grant? ing of amnesty to Communists with the wounds of their bloody intestine contest yet unhealed. The number of Harper's Weekly bear? ing date January 27, bas a dirty fling at General Albert Sidney Johnston, which will not surprise any of General John? ston's friends who are acquainted with the animus of the Harpers. There is nothing too mean for the Harpers them? selves to say about Southern people, aud the columns of tho periodicals and school books they publish ara always open for the URO of the uniformed and ill-mannered scribblers whose greatest virtuo is vituperation. lu the number referred to, it is said that "General Johnston, finding formidable resistance by the Mormons in the Utah campaign, resorted to a temporizing policy;" when it is u notorious fact that the Mormons offered uo resistance whatever, and the policy pursued by General Johnston was simply that luid down by thc Govern? ment whoso officer he was, and which he served with greater devotion than any other mau who over received un educa? tion from it, up to tho time that wool and ivory took the place of decency and patriotism.-Louisville Ledger.
