TAR AND FEATHEES, Some of the Discomferts that Attend the Wearing ofthis Sort of Dress. {From the Vir City Chronicle.} ‘*Most people,’’ said a prominent reporter to- day, ‘‘don’t know what a terrible punishment tarring and feathering They suppose that it is nothing more than a badge of infa- my, rather uncomfortable, perhaps, but not painful unless the tar gets This is a great mis- He Renoite to a Chronicle really is. into the eyes. take.

We painted him all over with a broom, and some enthusiastic vigi- lante poured a few gallons of tar on his head. Then the feathers, taken from a big pillow, were dusted on him and he stood out white and fluffy, in the starlight, like some huge and grotesque looking bird. He had to put his clothes on over the whole mess, and then he was ridden on a rail for fifty yards or so, and we put him on board the west bound train at midnigkt, with instructions not to come back on pain of being hang- ed. “I saw him on the train. He was sitting with his head on his arms on the back ot the seat in front of him. The tar was se thick on his head that it covered the hair out of sight, and his poll shone in the light of the car lamps like a black rubber ball just dipped in the water. The poor fellow was gro@ning, and I couldn’t help feeliag mean at having taken a no postulated that if the Captain was killed the tact would surely be Men- tioned, etc. the hotel where she was staying. They also ascertained that the young man was respectable and well con- | nected. After an affecting inter- view between the young woman and her relatives at the hotel, she con- sented to go to police headquarters. There a long consultation was held. The relatives said that the arrest cf on two families, and they declined to make acomplaintagainsthim. It was arranged at length that the young woman should return to her home. She promised to obey the wishes of her father and give up all correspon- dence with the object of her infatua- tion. At the hotel where it was said that the young woman had been staying, all informaticn concerning her was refused yesterday.

Edward Bates, Attorney-General, | related to me, two or three days af- ter the fight between the Monitor and the Merrimac, an incident cen- nected with the sinking of the Cum- berland, not noticed amidst the stir of war, but which should net be for- gotten. The father of the Captain ot the ili-tated sloop lived in Wash- ington. At first the news came that the vessel had been surrendered. When it was told to the old man he burst into tears, declared that his son would never surrender the ship while alive, and atonce mourned him as dead. Sogreat was his grief that his friends flocked areund him, ex- The and But all in vain. Lac will begin the work of laying in their supply of ice mext week. The largest dealer will put up obout father knew his son was dead, paid no attention whateyer to all his friends could say or do. When the true account came later nm the day, it added not a jot or title to his con- clusions or sorrow so perfect was the confidence in the gallantry of his hand in the job. You see the body is covered with short hair, and when the tar hardens a little the slightest movement causes acute pain, as if one’s beard were heing pulled out with pincers, hair by hair Then d 5,000 tons. two $20 gold pieces were found in cleaning ‘out an obstructed drain under a Washington hotel Wednes- - she was toolish cnough to begin an there is the stoppage ot all persaira- tion, which would soon kill a man if he didn’t make lively time in getting scrubbed. **Bosides, the smell of the tar turns the stomach, and about a_ half an hour after a man has been coated he must teel mighty sorry he wasn’t hanged. Then comes the scrubbing with oil. It took two Chinamen and a darky three days in ‘T'ruckee to _re- duce Jones to a mild brown. The rubbing makes the skin tender, and the body must be sore for weeks. son ed that the sailors, as the ship was sinking, retired from deck to deck, firing a broadside, and saluting the flag asshe went down. ‘That was the received opimon Washington at the time. the flag of any nation receive a more heroic or sublime salutatoin.

Two persons who were in the car- riage with her were her near rela tives. In their care she was _travel- ing on an express train toward her home in a distant city long before daylight. It was learned yesterday that she was a member of a rich and influential tamily. Her tather well known in buisness and pulitical circles in the city where she lives. From her childhood she has been surrounded by every luxury which meney could procure. Well educat- ed, handsome and with trends ot the best class, she was considered peculiarly fortunace by all her ac- quaintances. Several months ago is anon) mous correspondence with a young man in this city, who had published a sham matrimonial ad- vertisement. Letters passed be- tween them frequently and photo- graphs were exchanged, although neither correspondent knew the name ef the other. What was begun in frivolity became interesting and edr- | nest at-length. At the urgent request of the young man, the young woman left her home a tew days and came to New York. He met her at the depot on heer arrival in this city and escorted her:to a hotel where he engaged a room. It is asserted that they medi¥ their relations were pertectly proper.
