and violence without evidence sufficient to con- vince any prudent man of the fact. We tell the people of Indiana that there is on foot, and has siready been placed in process of partial opera- tion, a scheme for corrupting and debauching the election of the 10th of October in the State of Indiana, which, for villainy, could only have emanated from the prolific brain of the Tilden- ‘Tammany Democracy. By importations, by violence, by brutalism, aod by shameless cor- ruption the Democratic leaders propose to carry Indiana for-the State ticket, so. as to infinence the country in the November election. Thia is Tilden's Imst and desperate hope. The Brown Jetter to Gov. Hendricks; the mysteri- ous visit to Louieviile; the numerous evidunces of tramps and imported cattle all over the State; the jraud of calling a mass convention of sol- diers and citizens for the 5th of October, under cover of which the most infamous ballot-box Stuffers and bullics of Baltimore, St. Lonis, and Louisville are to be brouglit here—the names of some of whom we have slweadv published; the unpumtionof the notorious Barnev Aaron, of Chicago, in the company of the Secretary of the State Central Commijttee: the infamous circular letter instructing how %o tufl the ballot-boxes, snd various other things,ill point in the one direc: “tion, and are confirmatior strong as proof of boly writ of the assertion we have made. But we have other evidence. There is 2 0an at the Grand Hotel named H. 1. Finley, who is Mr. Tilden’s paymaster. e is Lere to supervise the disbursement of Til- jen’s money. and much to Gen. Manson’s dis- et has assumed entire charge of the financial sperations, Gen. Mauson beinr reduced to the pitiable position of mere office-boy. ~ Mr. Finley s out the money, and it will be useless to 1pply to Gen. Manson sny longer. The East- arn geatlemen have not been satisfied with pre- rlons disbursements by the State Committee, 1nd so bave sent Finley out here to look after that part of the campalzn. Sam Randall and filson McCandless, of Pennsylvania, with Dor- sheimer, Tilden's man Friday, are all heré, con- Julting and arranging as to the details of the raid which i8 to be made on the State of Indiana pext week. This is no alarm. We have given fhe names and proofs for what we have said. The Democrats are preparing to carry Indiana by fraud and vivlence. It is for the citizens of tiie State to say whetherthe tactics of Tammany Hall, under the lead of notorious bruisers and ballot-box stuffers, shall be allowed to be en- graftcd on Indiana polits CILDEN'S $STILL HUNT”—COLONIES OF PLUG- TUGLIES BEING DRAWN FROM:- NEW YORK, MARYLAND, AND OTHER STATES. New York: Times. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 27.—The Democrats have placed all tiscir hopes on what they call a mass- meeting of soldiers i this dity on wext Thurs- day, for which they have made great prepara- tions, and when they will, beyond doubt, have an enormous crowd present. Somebody, and it is cwenly said it is Tilden bimself, Is pasing the mecessary expeuses to insurca vatt multitude. When the Union soldiers met last week, every one of tie thousands who came paid his own fare, and nearly gall at full rates, although on some few roads half rates were allowed ; but 1t is known that free trains, with an unlimited number of cars, arc to be run bere from Baltimore and Louisville. It is known 3 ‘here and by everybody that nearly ever, one in Marytond and Kentucky who wasa sol- dier atall isa Republican. The massto_be hurled into this city, tberefore, is composed of those who were never soldiers, or else Confed- srates; but many ot these men, it fs already kmown, will not "be those who heve ever been soldiers, and especially those coming from Balti- more. A list' ¢f some of the most mo- lorious ~_ploz-nglies of that. city will be published Liere Lefore the day of the mecting, a1l of whom will be bere, and none of whom were cver in any army, but some of whom foubtless participated the attack on the ‘Union soldiers passing through Baltimore fif- teen vears ago. It is not intended by Tilden end the Democratic lenders here that many of these bogus suldiers shall stay here to vote on Tuesdsy week, but they are to be scattered over the Stite_in every county, furnished with the requisite informationas to details, so as toswear 1o their votes and do valient service for Tilden and reform. Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Pennsyl- vania, Maryland, and New York are the princi- pal reservoirs from which Tilden's reformersure 10 Le drawn to do duty in Tudiana, but they wiil .come mostly from the first two. ‘There eré many signs that Tilden is about to sttumpt his coup detat in political rascality. (Gen. Maoson, Cliairman of the Democratic State Committee, has lately grown strangely reti-ent. Yesterday, at Lajayette, he avoided Lis old Re- publican friends as if ashamed to meet them. Uo Sunduy I saw Senator Wallace, of Pensyl- vania, in the breakfast-roomof the Grand Pacific * Hotel, at Chicago. Herg, to-day, I met Gen. M.Candless and Sam Randall, of the same State, at the Occidental. he mission of the Ia'ter, T amn sure, is entirely legitimate, for he Is announced to make speeches, being at liberty to select his own places; but appointments for McCandless are dedlared off, although he has ven in the State many daye,—crteduly in this ¢ty sinve the 14th,—and it is undcystood that Le is not to epcak. He sticks close to bis room in the Ocidental, and has many visitors. with ecch of whom be has confidential inter- Fier What he is doing in this way, what the Uemocrats expect him 1o do, is a Dcemocratic wcret; Lut, taking his course bere and the presence of Wallace at, Chicago, itis evident that Tilden’s ““still hunt ”’ in, Indiana means enor- mous frauds upon the batlot-box. TRepublicans being forewarned, are, however, Torearn: All bogus soldiers who come here 21 Thursday are to be watched, and very few of them will be allowed to debauch the ballot-box Inany county in the State. They may get in enoush such fraudulent votes to lose two Re- publican Con! cssmen, but it is hardly possible they can suceced in defeat'ng a man and clect a .1 of blue jeans pantzloons as Governor of the State, whi-h latter is Tilden’s chief object. Tith'a fair, full vote of legal voters, Indiana. will surely select Ben Harrison, and the Repub- li:ans now intend to have such a vote. If they stick there will be such a vote, and the indica- tions are that they will stick. : LOGAN AT VALPARAISO. Special Dispatch 1o The Tribune.

Speciat Dispatch to The Trivune. WAsSHINGTOX, D. C., Sept. 80.—Gen. Worth- ington; Collector of the port of Charleston, 8. C., in 8 public speech here, says: *“More than fifty Republicans have been sesassinated since the nominaticn of Wade Hampton, and it is certain that not less than 500 more will follow before the election. Republicans are outraged and insulted in every city and town in Soutn Cxlu-ohn.l w})n:!e w:.lk!ilng the streets; and even when partaking of the sacrament of the bod. and blood of Christ in their churches they :Il’{ not free from iusults and sneers on account of their principics. They ask the colored people to give them another chance to rule them, but they (the colored people) were a thonsand times more degraded under the famous black code than when slaves. During the last Presidential cawpaien more than 200 colored persons were oratally murdered for opinjon’s salke, and over 8,000, both men and women, horsewhipped.” A TILDEN DODGE. ‘Tilden is endesvoring to counteract the in- Suence of the Indiananofis Soldiers’ Convention by sénaing from Baltimore and other Eastern cticsa number of what he calls “Boys who wore the Blue.” Western soldiers should mot be deceived by tie Tilden trick or by the decluration . that the Boys who wore the blie * were as patriotic as the boysin blue. A gentfeman famillar with this Tilden movement in Baltimore says that the Tilden be{ys who wore the blue from that city will consist of Confederate soldiers, large numbers of ‘whom' were taken prisoners at Antiectam, Sharpsburg, and on other battle-fields, and cons -fined in Fort Delaware. Many of them Lud been sick and wounded, and had recovered in hospital. They became greatly tired of impris- onwent, and one of them, Robert Ridenaucr, of Texas, proposed that they should all get their liberty by tuking -the "iron-clad . oath and entering the Union service. They acceded to it, and were enlisted under Gen. Schoepf. All who did so were sent to Baltimore, where they, wearing the blue, were used as orderlics and at- tendantsat Jarvis and other hospitals, or in the invalid corps. Thirty of them stepped from one camp to another. Most of these Leame bounty-jumpers. When men were needed for the Red River expedition, the so-called Third Maryland Cavalry Regiment was enlisted most- 1y of these men, who wore the Dluc after they had taken the frop-iad oath. This Third Rez'e- ment never did ouy barder service than at their rations. Five or'six times they were called to assemble, but enouzh of them could not be gotien together to be eent off; but at last they did get one squad who staried, but when they &0t 25 ar as New Orleans they all deserted, and. a week after Bob Ridenauer was hiecpiog astore in that city, haviog duffed the blue. A Bulti- more gentlenian, whose reliability is vouched for by promiuent persons, asserts that this is the orizin of the “ Boys who wore the Blue,” who will go to Indiana for Mr. Tilden. ~ DELAWARE. - ADDRESS BY GEX. WOODFORD AT WILMINGTON— BENATOR BAYARD ANSWERED, New York Times. ‘Winxerow, Sept. 27.—Gen. Woodford ad- dresscd a large and enthusiastic sudience, num- bering nearly 2,000, and containing many ladies, at the Opera-House this evening, speaking for over 2n hour and o half on the Southern ques- tion. He discussed the problem of securing good government and protection of personal rights in the South with the ntmost candor and with precise logic, insisting that as the mation con.erred citizenship it must and should rotect it whenever the States did ot, and that the Republican party was the best agent to restore peace and promote prosperity throughout the Southern seciion, At several points bis arzument traversed the thed- ries and opinions of Senator Bayard, expressed in his Trenton speech, and a purgent allazion was made to the Pharisaical devotion of the Senator to the letter of the Constitution aad to the rights of the States when he found the na- tional authority invoked for the protection of the poor and helpless colored citizens. The ad- dress was received with warm applause. The feeling of tue Republicans here las never been hopeful and _ enthusiustic. _ Man Democrats were in the sudienve, who ad- mittea the force of the arguments agafnst their party and its leader in this State. 8o ear- nest and so enthusiastic a meeting, with its fair discussion and overwhelming presentation of the Republican arguments, cannut 1ail to do great goud in this State. Gen. Woodford gous on Friday evening to Baltimore, and later will proceed to the Southin company with other prominent speakers, to conduct an_earnest and resolute Repuolican canvass, meeting the shot- gun policy with arzument and logie. Judging irom the results, Lere it cannot be doubted that such a canvass will do great_good.

MEMORIES OF THE REBELLION. BY A VOTER. How well we remember, but a few years ago, What n terrible War was ecourging our Jand, When the Demon of Slavery (our national foe) Rose up with o fury we scarce could withstand; When our soldiers were battling for national Iife, For Lib. rty, Country, and ull we hold dear, With the 1¢hels in froni: in the midst of the strife, How well we remember that fire in the rear! When the crivs of the Copperheads rang through the air, That the South was opprest and her just rights de- nied; Our Lincoln a tyrant, a baboon, a bear; * That llhl: War was unholy snd a failure, they cried. And when the Rebellion was conguered and closed, ‘And slaves from their fetters were rightfully free, The Amendments for Freedom were fouzht and op- posed » By Heuuacks and Tilden to the utmost degree. But now, to gain office, these demagogmes preach In favor of all they"s apposed In the past, And hope, in the ise of Reforners, to reach Tae goal of thelr highest smbition at last. The trick is transparent,—too gauzy, too thin,— Like Satan when sinzing devotionai psalms; erution, 1t scarcely will win Till shiephierds set wolves to watch over lambs, Not one word of comfort, not a dollar of aid, Had Tilden or Hendricks for our country in need; Thelr sympathics all were azainst us arrayed; Their jirein the rear we remember indeed. And now what assurance, what anbounded check, These tellows are showing when they ask for our votes! In accents most loyal and loudly they speak, While their limbs tangle up in their Copperhead coats. = Shall these be oar rulere, now Peace ia restored, — Taese teach our people the way they should g0, — These have control of the purse und the ¥Woi Let millions of patriots fln:vler them, NO! For Hayes and for Wheeler the skies are all clear, — Their record is right from the first to the last Then work till November, and tie Nations shall hear & The vots of our people for them has been cést.

Cosnoctox, 0., Sept. 30.—Yesterday after- poon this little place was the scene of cae of those horrors which, while men deplore, the law makes neccssary for the protection of soclety. It was the death, by hanging, of Francis Ept, who, on the night of Nov. 20, 1875, murdered Abraham Wertlicimer, of this place. He was convicied last May, and, after two attempts, hanged by tho neck until dead, yesterday aiterncon. Early in the dey great crowds began to gather from the country roundabout, moved by that hunger for the terrible which makes all hangings 80 wull at- tended. The condemned man ehowed unusunl firmness. Hlis parents and a Dbrother lived in Columbus, but they did not come to bid him good-bye. No friends visited him, and he de- clared that he had none. The most of his time ‘was given to prayer. The gallows on which he was hung had done duty twelve times before. The conduct of the man was extraordinary. The night before his death he expressed a desire tosecthe fustrumen of bis death, and the Sheriff tified his etrange whim. He viewed the scaffold with an unmoved stare, eglaucdng at the platform, the beam, and the mnovse. Whatever he thought he kept it to himself. After an all night rain the morning broke clear. The prisoner ate as usual, but maintained the stolldity which had marked his imprisonment At 20 minutes to 1 o’clock the condemnned man, fccompanied by Father Eppenger, walked up the steps of the scaffold. Both kneeled in prayer, the prisoner the cooler of the two, pre- parcd to die as he had said, *like a man.” ‘he religious exercises were in German. “Huve you anythiug to say {” asked tne Sherlff. - “ Nothing,” was Ept's reply. His arms were then tied bebind bis back and his legs secured with & strap. At1o’clock grel.isd)' the lever was touched and the drop fell. Then followed a horrid and rcpulsive scene. The drop had not killed the unhappy man, nor was the nuos¢ stravgling him. His body swung too and fro violently. From his lips came terrible moans and cries. He frantic- ally struggled to free his limbs. His agonies coutinued. The witnesses of the exccution turned sick at the awful scene. Finally the platform was brought back to its place nd the poor victin of an executioner’s bungling, work was drawn upon it, aud the rope re- adjusted, the puor half-strangled wretch groan- ing, and wailing, and begging not to be hanged aguin, all this while held in the arms of the officials and waiting snother at- tempt. Four minutes from the time of the first Tall the balf killed ma:a was launched into the air amain, This time the rope and the fall accomplished the law’s decision. The man‘s neck was broken, and the poor fellow died with- out & struggle. ‘At tweoty-three minutes after 1o'elack fhe attending physiclan pronounced the man dend, and his body was cut down and the cnd of the horror reached. The body, it not claimed by his friends, will be given'to the Cosbocton County Medical Society. - ATTEMPT 70 DEFRAUD, NEw YoRk, Sept. 30.—Samucl Harlam, of the firm of Harlam & Co., at No. 12 Lispenard street, has been arrested, charged with attempt- iug to defraud insurance companies.

Speaking of the recent insuit offered the Umon soldiers by the Democeracy of Henry County, Ind., in bearing an _ciBigyof a Union soldier in the shape of a Paddy clothed inu bloody shirt, the Anderson Ieraid indignantly says: “Lfligies of Unlon soldiers drageed turough the strects! Blood-stained ehirts car- ricd through jeering crowds, in mockery of the wounds of Union soldiers! They plead for ollivion of their own hellish record of disloyal- tv; they deplore the revival of the memories of 1861’63 but they do not hesitete to tear afresh the unhealed wounds of the father who pave his first-born_to be a sacrifice on the altar of liberty; of the mother yet weeping over the vide of her heart who was starved in Libby; of Lie sister who gave a nuble brother to her coun- try; of the wite whose weeds of mourning, scuree yet put off, tell of her lonely widowhood; and, worst of all, of the maimed and cripple soldier whose creaking crutch and ermless sleeve tell thelr own sad, sad story.” — e —— Horned Men In Afriea. A paper by Capt. J. 8. Hay, on the horned men of Africa, was read at toe recent meeti of the British Association. He also exhibite ketehes of two Africacs with horns, Mr. Hyde . thin, Clarke said it was very difficalt to assign any reason for the appearance of the horns, but there was no doubt that Capt. Hay lad scen them. Une way might be that they had been fnserted or inoculated into the face; but Capt. Hay informed them that it was the object of the parents to remove the horns, which he regarded 2s & nataral growth. One suggestion was that this was a class of malformation, of which there Was A memorable example in the casc of the “ porcupine man,” who had_horny pidits on varions parts of his body. He had ot heard from anybody any suflicient explanation with regard either to its being a natur.a] phenomenon arising at birth or its being artificially produced in the manner to which he had referred.

A Fighting Herzegovinian Priest and His Standard-Bearer. Bathing at Trouville and Ostend -==Ladies in Want of Lem- onade. English Politeness, and Improvements in the Language---Poor Carlotta. A FIGHTING PRIEST. A letter from the Moravo Valley in Servis to the New York ZTimes has the following: ¢ After a short survey of the skirmish we rode over to the Custom-House to see the *fighting priest,’ who had just received a bullet in his leg and was having his wound dressed as we entered. A good-looking fellow is this archi- mandrite, and far more of agoldier than any one I have seen in Servia, notwithstanding his clerical dress, which Le persists in wearing. About five or six-and-thirty years of age, a littie above the middle height, and weil made, with #mall bands and feet. His balr falls in long curls upon his shoulders, and, like his beard, is black and carefully tended. On his head fs the unsightly stovepipe with the rim turned down at. the top of the ‘orthodox’ priest, and his black cassock s girded with a gilt sword-belt bearing a brace of revolvers and a Turkish yataghan witlea richly enameled hilt. He is Herzegovin- fan by birth, and born of wealthy parents, who sent him first to Belgrade and afterward to Mos- cow, to study theology. He was regularly or- dained, and "became 2n archimandrite,—a high rank in the Greek priesthood,—but with the first outbreak of the insurrection in his pative conn-~ try we find hin flzhu{}a under the orders of Luka Kokalovitcl. n the death of that chief, Duchien became First Secretary to Prince Natka of Montenegro, and then secrét azent for Bosula_and the Herzegovine at Belgrade. He has written several works on the political history and future of the European provinces of Tur- v 8peaks several foreign - languazes fluently, and is President of the section of history and language iu the * Learned Society ’ of the Uni- yersityof Belgrade. Of muchmore enlarged views than the generality of his countrymen, he is the best educated man whom I ‘haye met on this side of the Danube. and is withal of herole courage and immensc endurance. A few weeks ago, when under the command of Gen. Zach, he siwam the Lim, near Nori Bazar, in the midst of a shower of bullgts, to bring intelli- gence of the enemy’s movewments to his chief, whose flank was threatened by a_column uuder Achmed Pesha. He is simply idolized b his men, over whom he exercises the combined in- Aucuce of a high order of iutelligence and great decision of character, backed up by the weight of their fanatical attachment to their Church, with whose terrors he threatens them whenever he secs signs of hesitation or cowardice. Weak- kneed Christians ne will not tolerate, and, as he is no respector of persons, he hasalready causcd to be shot several Popes, whose fear for their gersnnnl safety predoininated over their patriot- m. With hiin'was his standard-bearer, Czerni Andreas,—otherwise Black Andrew,—a glant from the Herzegovine, who never lesvas his side, and who bids_fair to become a popular hero. When the Khan was taken, later in the afternoon, I had a specimen of hisprowess. The fighting was at such close quarters that fircarms were cast aside, and nothing was used but cold stcel. A tall Circassian rushied from under the Joorway and grasped at_the flag—the Servian ricolor, surmounted with a silver cross. An- wreas looked at him for a sccond, as if in amaze- ment at his encmy’s audacity ; and then, coolly, and without the least appprent excitement, struck Dim twice with his Kundjar,—with the first he severed the Mussulman’s hand, and with the second his head rolled on the ground,—re- marking at the seme time, ¢Friend Mouro (the Servian nicknawe for Mohammedaus), the cross is not tor thee.” Imay add here thut' the cutting off of heads and linbs at asingle stroke is not ut all an uncommon feat in the East.” TROUVILLE. A letter from Trouville, on the Norman coast, to the New York World, says: ““The constant. and abiding enjoyment at Trouville is the bath- ing. The Long Branch or Newport bather woutd probably be surprised at the French metbod. The transformation of the fashionably-dressed young lady Who enywhere goes down to the Geep into thedrageling, drooping, helf-Irowned, shivering Venus Anadyomene who comes up out of it, is sufliciently painful, but the French ‘women avold it in a measure byadopting a light- er costume, armless, to say the least ankleless, and in some cases also neckless. The men are not essentially different iu their apparel from the American bathers. At thebathing hour the houses are wheeled down to the water’s edge filled with men, women, and children. One sees every kiud of bather,—the most amusing per- hape is the fashionable young lady from Paris, attired in the most careful manner, even to locket and oracclet. She descends to the water wrapped ina large Turkish peignoir and fol- Jowed by her maid. Every conveutionality of the lady-bather is carried out,—the shrick as the tide touches her feet, the terror at waves a few inches high, which bring all her masculine fricuds munning to help berin the water, and finally the graceful retrezt to the bath-house throngh the large, and admiring, and critical crowd that lines the shore. The- hired bathers (guides baigneurs) have much harder work here th:minAmer!ua{ although the surf is not so high, for they oftenare obliged to carry the lazy Parisians intheir avms to and from_ the water. The grounds are carefully roped off into three parts,—one for the gestlemen who choose to. bathe in_what we call ‘trunks;’ one for ladies and gentlemen together, and oue sacred to the boma , from which the men are vanished. The crowd of spectators is always much larges than the num- ber of bathers, and they seem to regard the :geenc in the light of 3 spectacular picce at the ‘Varicties or the Vaudeville. It is a sight which, to put it mildly, resembles very closely the cir- cus. One of the most prominent among the bathers we have noticed is au estimable lady of some 230 pounds weight, wlio fl[sgll_lll]ys herself daily in a small, alr-tight canoe. e costume is of light blue flannel, a compromise between the azure of the sky and water,—na costume em- inently appropriate to the ethereal creature. Another favorite amusement is the dlglglng for a small slippery fish called eaquille. At low tide, on the cdge of the beach the fishermen an women from the town set to work to dig with small spades. The sand is very soft, and the ‘work is casy, except the catching of the fish, which are_very lively. This sport, if sport it may be called, has become very popular. Young Indies engage in it without shoes or stockings, and with a basket lmnF over their shonlder. They jostle gice by stdc with the charming fisher- women, and seem to enjoy it immensely. As a means of spofling dresses it is probably un- cqualed among amusements, as the sand in which the fish are found {s-muddy,and soft, and sticky. Perhaps in a few years the fashion may be imported to the flats of Pleasure Bay. The ille is not to be found there, but the soft am is, and, although it is not so vivacious and 5““ as the ecquille, it might prove a diversion or the fox-hunters on the New Jersey farms;or the enthuslastic supporters of polo.”” OSTEND. M. D. Conway writes from Ostend to the Cin- cinnati Commercial: ** The proud English gen- tlemen who would be horrifled at having their wives and daughters bathe in the company of men at Brighton or Scarborough, wilt at Ostend allow them to bathe in company of all Europe. And the dames themselves, instead of being shy about it, take to the customs of this -country with a facility and eagerness which inspires a doubt as to whether the Englishare really at- tached to their institutions. [f in the waters of Ostend there is any group of girls dashier or splashier than the rest, youmay besure they are English. Ithink, indeed, a considerable change has come over the young English girls in rocent years, and I doubt . whether Nathaniel Hawthorne, were he now writing about England, would remark so much ber reserved folded-up look and manner as contrasted with those of the American girl in her teens. But, however bud- like the English girl may be when at home, she can hold her own on the Continent against n.\:‘y American girl for gush, dash, filrtation, or ad- venture of any kind, And I fear that all her folded-upness when she gets back to London only implics that she is a hypocrite. . . . From 10:20 to 12:30 a machine s to be got unl by wnuming for and scizinz upon one that is drawn by the horse out of tbe water, the occu- pants havine finished thelr bath. The person who firat lays hand or foot upon the little stej bebind it is entitled_to the machine when its occupant emerges. Hence hundreds of ladies may be scen wading about among the machines, —shocless and stockingless, dre raised to ‘midway the thigh,—and_ rushisg;tayards every house that starts shoreward, to leap on, and often tamble upon thesteps. ¥ihe question of legs is utte:Iy sunk in these :COmDE- mgmext ‘tion—a baker. —_—_— to consider whether she is engsging in an interpational exposition of tigo’sg: limbs which she would not show on the Bonlevards, even in spotless stockings, fortheworld. . . . There is a gentleman mnducunFa pretty Ger- man blonde on what is evident! E her first ven- ture in the Sea. She pauses at the edze of the water, looks down at her scant dress, at her veined ankles which never before saw any light but that of her own room; she blushes and blushes, and lovks helpless; her companion gives her precise aud elaborate informativn as to how she is to enter, to breast the waves, tg put her hands so, and her feet so; she listens carelully and then makes a Httle feiut of going through with it. But nothing short of violence will make her go in up to her knees. The gen- tleman lm?lons her to lie down; “ What! in the water!” She is quite dazed at this sugges- tion. But before a week is over timid Gretehen will be splashing out there along with the rest. LADIESIN WANT OF LEMONADE. Justice and the public (says the London Vews) are indebted to Mr. Vine, Deputy-Jailer at Marl. borough street, for an _instructive revelation touching London roguery. A well-dressed, mid- dle-iged woman was charged with stealing a flor- in from 3 gentleman who had met her ir George street, Hanover square, about 11 th¢ previous night. She had accosted him, saying that she lived in 8 handsome house close by, that she had forgotten her purse and her latch key, and that she was thirsty and wanted a glasy of lemonade. As she was well-dressed and civ- illy spoken, it occurred to the pgentleman tc gire the belated lady sixpence, but he gppened to have "no smaller change about him than a florin, which he produced. The lady snatched the cain out of his- hand, and, as she refused to restore it, he gave her into castody. The defense of the prisuner ab the Police Court was that she wastakinga walk with 8 ** lady friend,” When the prosecutor accosted her, and, because she would not liste to his advances, had her arrcsted on a false charge. The lady fricnd, she added, would fully corroborate her statemcnt, and this was speedily and stoutly done by a lady cladin widow’s weeds, who ™ said the” prosecutor had made objectionable proposals, and that he had been indignantly repulsed by berself and her companion. us did matters stand.—and very embarrassingly co for_the prosecutor,— when up rose Mr. Viae, the Deputy-Jaller, who informed the public that he had known the ladics for five years, and <hn: they belouged to a gung of four middle-nged adventuresses, headed by an elderly person called the *Hen," the four other women _being desig- pated the ‘‘Chickens.” It was the custom, added Vioe, of tnese roprebensi- bly _“'frisky matrons” to pmwlJ about the West End at night accosting gentlemen who ‘were returning from their clubs, telling them - they were the wives or widows of offivers, and ‘what not, and extracting money from them on all kinds of false and frandulent pretenses. The woman was discharged; the maggamm remark- ing that no jury would convict her of stealing ihe florin, bat that he entertained no doubt as to the real character of hersclf and the widow. It is to be hoped that Mr. Vine will continue to watcl the movements of the “Hen and Click- €ns,” and, 2s regards the soft-hearted gentic- men Who are in the habit of walking home from their dubs on fine evenings, we should advise them to avoid all ladies of vomely exterior who ‘wander about at unseasonable hours, who say they have misiaid their lateh-keys, aud who re- quire lemonade. THE ENGLISH. L. J. Jennings writes from London to the New York World: “Idoubt whether the Eu- glish will ever be a polite people—it is not in their blood. When I see a dozenof them to- gether—whether in the conntry or in town, in 8 drawing-room or 2 theatre, at a club or a hotel —I am always struck by their rudeness to cach other. They will scarcely answer a question fa a civil manner. They walk into the coffez-room of a hotel, where ladics are present, with their hats on, and shuut out for and to the waiter in their loudest and most commanding tones. They stand all across a doorvway, and will not make room for anybody to pass,and if you ecter a railrond carriaze where a few of them are, they giure at you in a mauener which speed odily convinws ~you that you have no right there aud baye been gulicy 6 Aan unwarrantable intrusfon.

No examples, however, can give an in- telligible idea—or Idve-aw—of the affectation and the desire to be fine which are working such curious transformations in_our mother tongue on this side of the water. It needs Prof Lowell to do justice to the subject.” POOR CARLOTTA. The Paris correspondent of the Boston Safur day Gazette says: “The Empress Charlotte, widow of Maximilian, of Mexico, was thrown into a violent paroxysm of frenzy by the recent exceseive heat. Rcports from all our insane asylums state that the greatest trouble has been given in all of them by the effect of the un- usually high temperature upon the lunatics in them. Empress Charlotte darted forth from Laecken Palace (near Brussels) on one of the hottest days of the last fortnight, and ran - about the park fn a state of fury whih could calm. The voice of her notlu'nf most loved sttendant had not the slightest effect on her. Bhe screamed she would pever enter the prison (the palace) n. These scenes had lasted for hours, when her physician who has been inuninterrupted attendan.e upon her since her. return to Belgium), recollecting that, in her present phase of madness, her mind dwells only on youin: ] scenes and occupations; .. and that then the greatest psssion of her heart was flowers, collected all the flowers he could get, went to her, and, without saylng a word, thréw a flower at bev fect. She eagerly, amor- ously, picked it ug. He retreated a few steps, going towands the palace, and threw an- other flower on the ground. Bhe ran and . picked tt up, too. So he went on, constantly retreating, constarntly throw- ing flowers ou the ground, and stul totlowed by her. Be enteréd the palace. She, too, crossed. its threshold, forgetting all her aversion for those walls, which seemed a prison, her arms filled with flowers, which she began to arran; fn her drawing-room as_soon as she entered ft. She was in buoyant spirits. She oftentimes passes away a whole day seated on the grass, arranging, then re-arranging flower:—sometimes she makes floral_crowns, then garlands, again she covers herself with them, as you have sect Ophelia f?toon all her person with roses an¢ rosemary.” - AN IMITATOR OF THE QUEEN. It Is a grand triumph (says the London Aflas, to be mistaken for the Queen, as a certain lady of fashion, the relict of a well-kmown foreiza 'Ambassador to the Court of St. James, and res- ident in the peighborhood of Windsor Castle, has lately proved. The lady inquestion has pro- cured a carriage of precisely the same peculiar build as those in which the Queen is driven about ‘Windsor; her horses are high-step- ng grays of edactly - similar ehade and eight with the royal steeds, and to com- plete the likencss they are driven on the most_ordinary shopplug trips i the streets of Windsor and Eton, not from the coach-box, but—just as are ber Majesty'a—by_postillions, who wear a mourning livery undistingnishable from that worn by the Queén's outriders.
