LOST ALICE
CILArTER
Why did I marry her? I ofteh asked my
self the question in the days that succeeded
our honey-moon. By right, I should have
married no one. Yet I loved her, as I love her
still.
She was, perhaps the strangest character
of her age. In her girlhood, I could not
comprehend her ' • and I often think, when I
raise my eyes to her grave, quiet face, as she
sits opposite me at dinner, that I do not com
prehend her yet. There are many thoughts
working in her brain of which I know noth
ing, and flashes of feeling look out at her eyes
now and then, and go back again, as captives
might steal a glimpse of the outer world
through their prison bars, and turn to their
brick walled solitude once more. She is my
wife. I have had her, and hold her as no
other can. She bears my name, and sits at
the head of my table ; she rides beside me in
my carria ,, e, or takes my arm as we walk ;
and yet I nnow and feel, all the time,,that
the darling , of my past has fled from me for
ever, and that it is only the ghost of the gay
Alice, whom I won in all the bloom of her
bright youth, that lingers near me now.
She was not a child when I married her,
though she was very young. I mean that
life had taught her lessons which are gener
ally given only to the gray-haired, and had
laid burdens upon her which belong of right
to the old. She had been an unloved child,
and at the age of sixteen she was left to her
self, and entirely dependent on her own ex
ertions. Friends and family she had none,
so she was accustomed laughingly to say; but
I have since found that her sisters were liv
ing, and in happy homes, even at the time
when she accepted that awful trust of herself,
and went out of the world to fulfil it. Of this
part of her life she never speaks; but one
who knew her then has told me much. It
was a time of struggle and pain, as well it
might have been. Fresh from the life of a
large boarding school, she was little fitted for
the bustle of a great selfish city; and the
tears come to my eyes as I think, with a kind
of - wonder, on the child who pushed her -way
through difficulties at which strong men have
quailed, and made herself a name, and a po
sition, and a home. She was a writer.—at
first a drudge, for a weekly press, poorly paid,
and unappreciated. Bye-and-bye, brighter
days dawned, and the wolf went away from
the door. She was admired, read, sought
after, and—above all—paid. Even then, she
could not use the wisdom she had purchased
at so dear a rate. She held her heart in her
hand, and it was wrung and tortured every
day.
"I may as well stop breathing as stop lov
ing," she would say, with a happy smile.—
" Don't talk to me about my folly. Let me
go on with my toys; and if they break in my
hand, you cannot help it, and I shall not come
to you for sympathy."
She was not beautiful; but something—
whether it was her bright, happy face, or the
restless gaiety of her manner—bewitched peo
ple, and made them like her. Men did the
maddest things imaginable for her sake; and
not only young men in whom fully was par
donable, but those who should have been too
wise to be caught by the sparkle of her smile,
or the gay ringing of her laugh. She did not
truet them ; her early life had taught her bet
ter; but I think she liked them for awhile,
till some new fancy came, and then she
danced past them, and was gone.
It was in the country that,l met her first;
and there she was more herself than in the
city. We were distant relatives, though we
had never seen each other, and the fates sent
me to spend my summer vacation with my
mother's aunt, in a country village, where
she was already domesticated. Had I known
this, I should have kept my distance; for it
was only a fourteenth or fifteenth cousinship
that lay between us, and I had a kind of hor
ror of her. I hardly knew why. I was a
steady going, quiet short of lawyer, and hated

The Flood at Cairo
[correspondence of the St. Louis Republican.]
C.tino, June 18, A. M.—The Eclipse ar
rived up yesterday afternoon, with 250 pas
sengers and a light freight. She burst her
heater when near Natchez, killing two per
sons by the explosion. She lost twenty
hours by the accident, and will be laid up at
New Albany for repairs.
The Roclolph has a number of passengers.
She went to Mound City yesterday after
noon, and left here at 10 o'clock last night.
The Vigilance Committee shipped off on her
fourteen vagabonds who were not needed
here. The New York passed up at 8 o'clock
with a good freight.
The river rose here one and a half inches
yesterday, but yet lacks nearly two feet of
getting over the Ohio levee at the steamboat
landing. The Mississippi was falling as far
down as Cape Girardeau when the Rodolph
passed there. The Ohio fell a half inch at
Paducah yesterday. Wabash is rising very
rapidly, being higher than it has been known
since 1823. Cumberland is falling, and Ten
nessee rising slowly.
The condition of the levee has not materi
ally altered since yesterday morning. No
buildings have fallen, and it is probable that
we have experienced the worst, unless a
heavy wind should spring up, which would
probably do considerable damage inside of
the town, and perhaps injure to some extent
the buildings on the levee. A very heavy
drift was runninc , in the Ohio yesterday, but
nearly ceased before night. The Vigilance
Committee are watching the town carefully,
preventing depredations, and sending off sus
pected persons and those who desire to leave.
There is a quantity of stock collected upon
the levees, with nothing to eat, and the com
mittee yesterday offered to send all the cattle
to high ground by the ferry-boat Manchester,
but the owners refused to let them go. We
are somewhat annoyed by people who are
continually coming here out of mere curiosi
ty, who can be of no possible use, and aro
only in the way.
The Thomas Scott, Cairo and Paducah
packet, is rendering very essential service by
taking all the people who desire to leave on
the ears or for the upper river, taking the
poor gratis, and accommodating with meals
and lodging as many as possible. She makes
a trip to Mound City and back every morn
ing for the train,"and brings down the pas
sengers at night on her return from Padu
cah?
Three hundred feet of the track of the Illi
nois Central, below Burkeville, eight miles
above Cairo, have been washed away ; and
across that point there is water from Charles
ton, Mo., to the bluffs in Kentucky, a dis
tance of nearly thirty miles.
The inhabited portion of Mound City is
nearly all under water, more or less, and the
passage from house to house is chiefly effect
ed by means of boats and rafts. There is
three feet of water in front of the Shelton
House. The "Locust Mound," whence the
place is named, has cracked in several places,
and is slightly caving in. A false floor has
been arranged in the hotel, which obviates
nearly all inconvenience, and the landlord,
Mr. Place, continues to supply his guests
with plenty of good provisions. About half
a mile of the Mound City Railroad is under
water, but the trains all arrive and depart
on time.
Santa Anna's Manifesto to the Mezl-
In March, Gen. Santa Anna departed from
his charming retreat, at Tuabago, in New
Granada, where for two or three years he
has been enjoying the felicities of repose and
cock-fighting, and took up his line of march
for Mexico. Ile was encouraged by the dis
turbed condition of that Republic to believe
that he might once more put himself at the
head of affairs. Accordingly he proceeded
to the island of St. Thomas, where he has
tarried for a season, it being a convenient
point for observation. He is there still, hav
ing discovered no occasion as yet for present
ing himself in Mexico, and there is very little
probability that any call will for his services
in that quarter will be made.
He has not, however, been an inattentive
observer, though not required as an actor,
and an address to his countrymen of porten
tous length has just made its appearance.—
This manitesto is an egotistical rehersal of
Santa Anna's alleged services, and a tedious
recital of the wars of factions in Mexico.—
We subjoin the conclusion of his manifesto:
" On arriving at the island last month. I
learned with satisfaction that the execrable
little tyraut, (Comoufort) after perjuring
himself, had been cast down from the post
which he never ought to have occupied; and
that although faction made its last efforts, it
could not again succeed in putting itself
above the immense majority of the nation
that despised it. I was much pleased, be
sides, to learn that an Administration had
been formed, with which were connected the
most honorable citizens, men of wisdom and
true patriotism," &c.
Pennsylvania Railroad
Some of the Pittsburg papers having stated
that "the Pennsylvania Railroad company
has studiously avoided giving any assurance
that the rates of freight from Pittsburg would
be reduced if the tonnage duty were removed,"
the president, J. Edgar Thompson, has writ
ten a letter to the Post, in which he says that
"the freight to and from Pittsburg and sta
tions along the line of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, will receive the full advantage of the
repeal of this tax or duty. The Company
will be content with the increased business
resulting from diminishing rates, and the
consequent ability of their customers to travel
more frequently over the road. The princi
ple of 'discrimination' is not the result of the
tonnage tax' or dependent upon it. It affects
Philadelphia as well as Pittsburg, and is a
law of commerce which cannot be disregard
ed, when there is a necessity of its applica
tion, without injury to this company, and to
both of those cities. But the imposition of
the tonnage tax must necessarily increase
the amount of the discrimination in freight
charges, while its repeal would remove all
reasonable complaints on that account."
The remains of Louis Baehr, says the
Baltimore Exchange, of Friday, the late well
known and esteemed professor of music, in
that city, who was so brutally murdered in
Pittsburgh on the 18th inst., were consigned
to the tomb yesterday afternoon at the Balti
more Cemetery. This last sad tribute to his
memory was participated in by the Leider
krantz, llarmoneon, and Arlon singing asso
ciations, the Turner Vereins, the employees
of Messrs. Gaelic & Co., and Knabe & Co.,
piano manufacturers, together with a large
concourse of other citizens. At the grave
the several musical associations joined in
singing a grand funeral requiem, the melo
dies of which, combined with the sobs of
grief on the part of his bereaved family and
friends, rendered the scene one of a solemn
and impressive character.
cans
Impostures
The order of the Postmaster General to the
Postmasters throughout the country, direct
ing them to retain all letters, received at their
offices addressed to fictitious names, has fallen
like a wet blanket upon a class of sharpers
who have grown rich in practising on the
credulity of the public. There are a half
dozen or more of this class located in Albany
whose profits have been seriously affected by
the order of the Postmaster General. One
has grown to opulence by advertising that he
is the manufacturer of "love powders," which
"possess the power of charming to your em
braces the proudest beauties and the most in
tractable of the sterner sex I" These pow
ders are sent by mail at three dollars a box.
They cannot cost the manufacturer much
more than three cents each. He assures the
gullible that the use of one box is generally
sufficient ; a second is almost certain to cap
tivate the coldest ; but in rare instances a
third must be resorted to. That, however,
was never known to fail I The victim re
ceives the first and second boxes in return
for his six dollars; but he never gets a re
turn for his third investment. He might
write fifty times after that to the love powder
man, but he will receive no answer.
Another sharper advertises that he is the
manufacturer of bogus coin, which will pass
for good even at the mint—a description of
coin, that will successfully stand all chemical
tests and defy the shrewdest bank detectives.
The rogue who would deal safely .in bogus
money sends five dollars to purchase some.--
He receives in return ten dollars in good
coin manufactured at the mint. The sharper
is now out five dollars, but his victim, find
ing that the ten dollars sent him pass readily
at a profit to him of fifty per cent., concludes
to go to work on a larger scale. He sends
fifty dollars, and expects one hundred of the
perfect "bogus" in return ; but he hears no
more from the coin operator, who by giving
ten dollars for five dollars gains fifty dollars.
This fellow, it will be perceived, is complete
ly secure from criminal prosecution. He
does not deal in bogus coin at all, and his
victims dare not complain, because in doing
so they would be compelled to admit to the
world that they were anxious to operate in
counterfeit money.
Another advertises that for the moderate
sum of fifty dollars he will impart to any
lawyer a secret that will, beyond all chances,
enable him to win every suit in which he
may be engaged, whether of love or law.—
The charm consists in the possession of the
eyes of a very rare Egyptian fowl, which
none can procure but the advertiser! Strange
as it may seem this fellow has caught some
flats and pocketed their money. When asked
what return he proposed to make to one of
his victim , i, he replied that he would go into
State street, purchase a spring chicken, cook
and eat the meat, extract the eyes and send
them to the wistful lawyer, and if they could
see further than his victim's eyes, of which
he had no doubt, he might win the suit.
These sharpers bear fictitious names, and
hence all communications to them are re
tained. They will be sent to the dead letter
office.
It may not be amiss to say that the general
order affects a few, in this city and elsewhere,
whose business is deemed by the public com
paratively legitimate, but who, for reasons
best known to themselves, have thought pro
per to conduct it under names other than
their own. The dfficulty with regard to them
is very easily remedied. They have only to
abandon their aliases and their letters cannot
be withheld.—Albany Argus of tlac Bth.
A Perilous Position to a Man up a Tree
The Freeport (Ill.) Bulletin, tells the follow
ing story :
Mrs. Barmingbam, wife of the master me
chanic of the Galena and Chicago Union rail
road at this point, made a very narrow escape
from drowning last week. It appears that
she was being conveyed by a hired man to
Pecatonica. When they were within about
a mile and-a-half off that point they were
compelled to leave their carriage and take to
a boat, into which they stepped with two gen
tlemen, who were there waiting to be carried
over. They had rowed some distance, when
a dog, which was swimming alongside, put
his paws upon the side of the boat, upsetting
it and precipitating its occupants into about
ten feet of water. Two of the men swam
ashore. The other succeeded in reaching a
tree Lear by, up which he clambered. Mrs.
Barmiugham, after sinking twice, was caught
by the man in the tree, and held until persons
from shore came to their relief, which was in
about three-quarters of an hour. The only
injury Mrs. B. sustained was the chafing of
her arms, in holding to the tree, and severe
cold. After the gentleman had secured his
footing in the tree, he found he had a neck
lace in the shape of a rattlesnake. He suc
ceeded in releasing himself from his danger
ous companion without injury.
One of the gentlemen lost his wallet, con
taining over $lOO in money, besides valuable
papers.

A BRUTAL MURDER.-It seems that the
murdered wife of Arnold, near Jassamine,
Ky., had left him for his cruel treatment, and
instituted a suit for divorce and alimony
against him. He watched her .one day as
she went with another lady to pick strawber
ries, and followed her, demanding that the
suit should be withdrawn. He then threat
ened to kill her, and drew a revolver, when
the other woman fled. Horror stricken, she
promised to live with him again. He replied
by telling her that she was lying, and imme
diately fired at her, the ball grazing her tem
ple. She sprang to him and begged for mercy.
He refused. She then appealed to him for
time to pray, and was allowed to pray for her
husband, her children and herself. Arnold
then grasped her with one arm, inexorable to
all her supplications for mercy, fired at her
three times, each ball taking effect in the
head. The woman who fled told the story,
and Arnold was pursued and arrested at his
mother's house, in the act of writing his will.
