AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY—LOVE AND MURDER. London has had two horrible sensations to ovoupy its attention during the past month— one the Vidil ease and by Isat arrival we have the conclusion of another affair as strange and full of jon as any that hes been re- corded In the angals of crim On the 12th of July, — Murray, until recently an officer of the Hussars, and now a Director in a wealthy Stock Company, was accosted in the public streeta by a man who was an entire stranger to him. e new comer introduced himself under the name of Grey; said he wanted to loan money for a client to the company of which Murray was a director; offered £60,000, and uested tl walk into his ay 4 's) , it w: of staifs, and in a ek respvotable street, bu: ‘arre: fore boom in the house. He followed, how- ever, into the office and seated himself, when some unimportant businees conversation took place, occupying not more than s minute or two. Roberts (the real name of the stranger) rose te get his card of address, which the other bad asked for. The doors were closed. Mur- ray sat with his back to Roberts, who pre- tended to be looking for acard. Presently Murray felt a slight touch in the back of his neck, there was a report of a pistol, and he dropped off his chair on the ground, perfectly paralyzed; in a moment Roberts came up and seeing that his victim still lived, fired a pistol y's right temple; this not kill, retended to be dead, and when Rob- rts walked awsy. seized @ pair of tongs lying near, sprang to his feet, and struck at the wretch. He raised his arm, and a terrible struggle enened; Roberts fell under, and Marray hit him several times in the face and head with the tongs, getting his own on Robert’s chest. Then Roberts got the tongs, and Murray seized a black ttle, bat it was smashed to pieces in one bio The two wounded men, both stream with blood, contrived both to get to their feet, and another struggle took place; finally Mur ray got possession of the tongs, by a succession of heavy blows thought that he had killed his adversary, knewing that his own life was at stake. He then found the door locked, and clambered out of the window, to a policeman, ignorant all the time whether he should not meet confederates of his would be murderers. Help was got, Murray taken to an hospital, and Roberts discovered. Por nearly a fortnight the mystery remained fivravelled. Roberts did not die for a day or at nothing could be learned from him; Murray persisted in declaring that they never had met before. Robert’s family could furnish no elue to theaffeir, but at last a woman who had been supposed to be Murray’s wi: ve information that explained it all. She 'n reality, and has deen for years his mistress. although this fact has not been generally known. Roberts has been in love with her, ani the supposed Mrs. Murry has paid frequent visite to him in the very room where the frightful fight occurred. Roberts was jealous, and anxious to havethe woman elope with him to the continent, proposing to desert his own wife. Mrs. Murray (so called) declares that she feared rather than loved him, and refused. in publie places, and got business. On the public examination the woman was produeed; she is young and very pretty, and oried bitterly when Joventing double shame. It was believed, however, that she wag innocent of all compli- cation in the attempt at murder; and the ver- dict of the Ooroner’s jury was “justifiable homicide, and that Major Murray slew the de- ceased to save bi own life.” There can be no doubt that Rovert ion for the mistress of Marray provoked to the endeavor to get Marray out of the way. So wonderfully can even phlegmatic Englishmen be stirred by the emotions which women sometimes inspire. Aported Crtizens.—There having arisen among adopted citizens some dissatisfaction the recent order of the War Department in re- tion to the enlistm€nt of foreign-born citi- zens who could not speak our language, the Mayor of Buffalo, N. Y., recently addressed the Sapa 2 of State upon the subject We published a day or two since «a official order from the War Department explaining the misapprehension which had ayisen. We now place before our readers the reply of Seo- retary Seward to Mayor Alberger: Dspartuent or State, Washington, Aug. 8, 1881 } To PF. A. Alberger, Esq, Mayor of the eity of Buffalo, N. ¥.—Dear Sir: I have to cakecniedge the receipt of your letter of the 5th instant, and to state in reply that the order to which it refers was officially explained aday yy the Secretary of War, but having still Ween a subject of great misappre- bension, it has now been cntirely rescinded and vacated. Censequently there is no ob- stacle whatever to the aeceptance of the ser- or | regiedad. it ought to be, a battle of the freemen of the world for the institutions of self government.

Finuise tas Orvices at Rice- wosD — mode by which such a number of Yankeos have screwed themselves into the departments of the Confederate Government is not a little euri It is an instance of patented combination, double-acting toadyism, quite worthy of the Yankee invention.

In the course of a fow weeks, if everything works favorably, it will be fine and bright, and fit for use. C.N.

A number of the embassy were walking together a few days ago, in the Zoo- logieal Garden, when one of them strayed away from his companions, and was accidentally mistaken by a keeper for some animal that had escaped. Away went the keeper full tilt after our poor Siamese. who, beholding this strange onset, took to his heels and ran for denr life; with euch ed, too, that the koeper waa entirely relieved of any misgivings he might previously have had. was, if possi- ble, still further convinced of his suspicion when he saw the unfortunate Oriental leap like a wildcat into the branches of a plane tree and clamber to the top. There the two remained for a moment, the Siamese above and the keeper below,staring at each other. There they might have continued all day, too, had not the crowd of saunterers, attracted by the Doise of the race, gathered around and pointed out the ludicrous absurdity of the mistake. The keeper, who was at first obstinate, was at length convinced, and very patiently besought the noble stranger to descend. Not a bit of it! This woresipper of the white elephant, with very expressive gesture, merely got u’ little higher on the be neg? branch, which he suc- ceeded in straddling, and there held on until an interpreter arrived. ran explanation his highness concluded to descend. He left the garden still trembling, and by no means relieved of his dread of his pursuer.—Paris paper. A Steason Statamant —A letter from Louts- Ville says that James Hewett, Esq , ofthe firm of Hewett, Norton & Co , of Liverpool, New York and New Orleans, has lately arrived from Rich- mond, and {s authority for the following strange statement, now rumored extensively about the elty: Since the battle of Manaasas the utmost demor- zatl jd disorganization among the army and financial distress among the people have existed. The city was filled with men and women from the more distant States, bunting informa- tion of relatives—information heraia eadrg | to the secrecy maintained by the Government, they could notobtain No report of the killed and wounded, have been made up, nor was it likely that ary ever would be. The greatest di pr vailed. and complaints were loud, deep and rnest. Soldiers were demanding their release d their pay, refusing to fight again, and ex- essing their determ!nation to return home here was no money in the city except current notes of the State banks, coin, especially British, being a particularly searce article To these murmurings of the mob of Richmond city there were added other raurmurs, not soloud nor so insolent. but murmu-s distinctly uttered and distinctly beard, that were coming up from every part of the Confederacy, complaining of the existing state of »ffairs. These complaints and the financial troubles of the Government were having their effect, and learning of a scheme it had on band. Mr. Hewett telegraphed to Richard Atkinson, of this city, bis agent, to write by the first steamer te the house in Liverpool to sell all the cotten on band at exisiting rigs a Possible Mr. Hewett bas since reached and bis agent has been burriedly di New York The plan of the Confederate Govern- ment, which had such an effect on Mr. Hewett, was that of reconstruction A proposition !s to be made tn a few days to the Uni States Gov- ernment for an ar ce for sixty days, during which time it is proj to hold a Convention at Louisville, Kentucky, for the purpose of re- constructing the Union Avrairs In Ricum< A letter from Rich- mond, dated July 26,to the Memphis Argus, says: % feeling of morbid empeiny has begun to Spring upin some quarter herein behalf of the cut-throat scoundreis who were captured at Man- assas.

It contains from 9 to 125 needles, which are not liable to break, and from 12,000 to 15,000 stitches a minute. Its price is considerably less than that of other machines; it is adapted to fomily as well as factory use, and will take its —— by the sewing machine as a labor-savi nvention. It makes stockings, shirts, coats, an all kinds of garments that are ordinarly knit. A State Convention is called to meet at St. Paul, Minnesota, on the 4th of September.
