Music in the Kitchen.
We have frequently heard many curi
ous anecdotes of servant-girls giving
themselves airs, when they went to en
gage themselves; but the following may
be relied on as a fact :
A lady, who kept a seminary in a
neighboring town, was in want of a
housemaid ; she advertised, and many
called to offer their services.
The lady was pleased with the ap
pearance of one, and entered into an
agreement with her, requesting her to
come to her place without delay.
The girl seemed as if she had some
thing •on her mind; and after a grand
effort, she said that she would require
to go out twice a week for the first
month.
"Oh!" said the lady, "you attend some
particular chapel, I conclude?"
"No ma'am," simpered the girl, "but
Tam learning the guitar, and have paid
Tor a quarter's instruction in advance;
so I should not like to lose any lessons."
"Where do you intend to practise?"
said the lady.
"In the kitchen, I suppose," answered
Molly Hopkins.
"Oh! I shall grow distracted," said
the lady ; "what with the young ladies
thumping up stairs, and.you thrumming
below ;—you won't suit me. Good day
to you."
A Vlcrrn. OF ME DIVORCE= LAW.-
The trial of the "Talbot Divorce case,"
in the English House of Lords, created
much sensation. two or three years since.
Mrs. Talbot was the mother of children
a lady of refinement, and unassuming
manners and domestic habits. It was
alleged that during the absence of her
husband, she had indulged in illicit in
tercourse with an ignorant groo.n of the
•stable. Two or three servants swore to
knowledge of her guilt, but the princi
pal witness against her was the family,
clergyman, Rev. Mr. Sargent He tes•
tified, we believed, to have caught her
in, the act of adultery. The woman was
insane at the time of the trial, and- the
clergyman expressed the belief that
when she committed the act she was in
the incipient stages of insanity. Much
sympathy was felt for the "unfOrtunate
husband," and though many believed
the lady to he a victim of conspiracy,
the high character of the clergyman
carried the bill for djvorce. Recently
lie has' delivered himself up to the au
thoritieS, aCknowledgjng-that he perjur
ed himself. In' the meantime the vie•
tim of the conspiracy has deceased.—
We are not perfectly assured what be
came of the husband but believe that he
married soon after obtaining the divorce.
Thomas Dick, the -eminent Scotch
author, and Eugene Sde, the celebrated
French novelist, are both dead.

ly life, and shortly after emigrated to.
Tennessee, where he connected him
self with what is called the Christian
church, but had not been a member of
any church for years past, but was mor
al, and fond of conversing on religious
subjects. He was an obliging and kind
neighbor, and fond of company. About
fifteen years ago he joined the order of
masons. He was twice married. His
children are very large, but probably,
none of them ,will
.ever be more than
half the weight of the father. He was
quite active and lively, and labored
until about four years ago, when he
became so fleshy that he was compell
ed to stay at home, or be hauled about
in a two horse wagon.
In 1819, he made a contract with a
tailor to furnish him a suit of clothes for
850—the cloth was to cost five dollars
per yard. Upon measurement, it took
twelve yards of cloth. So the tailor
lost ten dollars and the making.—
The tailor states that three men, each
weighing over 200 pounds, put the coat
on, buttoned it around them, and walk
ed across the square at Lexington. In
1850, it took 13i yards of flax cloth,
a yard wide, to make - him a coat. It
took sixteen yards of cambric for his
shroud; 24 yards of black Velvet to coy.

says, he had a grand performance ; after
getting through which he swept the
house, and broke all the windows with
a broomstick. He then proceeded to
the residence of Mr. William Curry, a
mile or two from town, in the, absence
of the family, and destroyed nearly ev
erything in the house. He says he went
there "to have some fun ; broke a gun,

watches, grinding up the works in a ci

ground where the house stood would be
an admirable location for - a circus,
whereupon he built a fire on the floor,
and it was soon in flames, from which
he narrowly escaped by jumping from a
window, cutting his arms and hands in
getting. out, and leaving a broadcloth
coat,. which the heat induced him to
throw off, a prey to the flames. Con
sidering the bees appropriate performers
in his new circus, he upset several hives,
and undertook to put sleigh-bells on the
insects, in which "performance" he was
very badly stung. When the neighbors
came running to the fire, they found him
under a shade tree, congratulating him
self that this was the "best performance
he had yet—it brought the largest audi

and taken to Mercer jail.

During the , recent Congressiofittl..can

Hanson, Esq., the Know-Nothing can.
didate, visited the house of the farmer
.alluded to. He regarded his election
as certain, and having heard of and test
ed the whiskey aforesaid, an inordinate
desire seized possession of his breast to
secure a few gallons to take with him
to Washington this winter. He made
known his wishes, and offered any price
for ten gallons. The farmer positively
refused to sell. After much solicitation,
however; he was induced to agree to
let his friend have ten gallons. Mr.
Hanson was delighted at being able to
secure even this small supply of the
nectar, and he forthwith paid the bill,
leaving the precious article in charge of
the farmer until he called for it on the
Ist of December, when on his way to
take his seat in Congress at Washington.
A few weeks after this occurrence,
Hon. James B. Clay,the Democratic can
didate, chanced to call at this same
house. He, too, had heard of and tast
ed the famous whiskey,and he, also,took
the notion to secure a supply, if possible
to take with him to Washington. He
made application for it accordingly, and
was told in reply that Mr. Hanson had
already made a purchase for that pur
pose, and it was not possible for them
both to go to Congress. Mr. Clay assur
ed his K. N. friend that Mr. 'Hanson
had certainly made a mistake, and that
it was himself who would be elected.—
He told him there was no doubt of that
fact, and urged his cause with such ef
fect that the farther, consented to part
with another thro gallons. Of Course,
the result down:lined thatil is to go to
Washington. ( .
%,:W-e- ha ve% not e yet heard what-disposi
tion Mi. Hantion intends - to make of his
purchase, but will report when advised.
But Hanson is not the only gentleman
whose sanguine. anticipations were not
realized. So entirely confident was Dr.
A. K. Marshall of his election to the
Senate, that taking time by the forelock
some weeks before the election, as we
are reliably informed, he engaged rooms
at the "Capitol Hotel," Frankfort, dur
ing the 'Session of the next Legislature.
But the "cruel" Porter spoiled all his
fine calculations. Indeed, the case is
so aggravated that we doubt not an ac
tion against him by the proprietor of
the "Capitol" would hold good in any
court !
SINGULARLY DMIHERATE MURDER.—
In Adams County, Miss., a few weeks
since. Mr. Duncan Skinner, overseer
for a Mrs. Sharpe, was found murdered
in a mysterious manner. Last week
three negroes were arrested and prov
ed to be the murderers. According to
the testimony, this was one of the most
coolly planned and deliberate murders
ever committed. The Natchez Couri
er says
"The negroes in the plot went to Mr.
Skinner's house - just before day, and
aroused him on pretence of a child in
the family being sick. He opened the
door while in his nightclothes, and was
knocked down by a blow on his breast
from a heavy stick. Three stalwart ne
groes seized him,and after a severe strugc
gte succeeded in choking him.
While thus insensible, they carried
him a few rods from the house, and
there by main strength diskleated his
neck. They then got out his clothes,
dressed hitn, — and. to turn away suspi
dion, put his .-.watch around his. neck,
and .his purse, with part of his money,
in. his pocket, brought out his horse and
saddle, put the lifeless body on it,and
lead it. into.. the. •woods where the
body was found. Here, after running
the horse up and down, they, took off
the body, dropped the saddle and set
the animal loose., The latter returned
home a.few hours after. The body of
their victim they placed in such a po.
sition As would indicate:the probability
of accidental death; then brought out
his gun, cap, whip, and game bag.; dis
charged one. barrel, and placed several
articles in the tracks, as if of a runaway
horse. •
So long a period had passed, that the
guilty assassins i►nagi"ned that the crime
was unnoticed and would be forgotten.
But a terrible .and speedy retribution
awaits them. The whole chain of evi.
dence ie complete as to the crime, its
manner and circumstance. The three
negroes are safely secured, and are now
in jail in this city."

Is Love Blind?
There is nothing so-clear-sighted. tt

ability, enabling us
,to decipher truths
which are illegible . txt the normal sense.
It has given momently of subtle wisdom
to the dullest; moments of impassioned'
eloquence to the -coldest.. We are
strongest when, we love, because tove
is not only the most energetic but the
most elevating of passions. We see'
most clearly then, because our percep
tions are all intensified by the intensity.
of the feeling. We are affected as in'
mesmerism, and Lova is the clairvoy
anewrif- the heart.
But there is always a meaning in oh!'
adages, and in that of 'Love is blind,'
there is a truth. The blindness spoken
of is blindness to all consequences, dis
regard of all collaterals, reckless obliv•
ion or contempt of whatever is foreign
to it.
The intensity of the shadow is pro=
portioned to the intensity of the light.
Every thing which comes within the
rays of Love is wondrously vivid ; the
rest is darkness.
• Love sees all it cares to see. It is
not blind; but it will only look straight
forward. A horse is not blind when
blinkers are put on to prevent his seeing:
whatever goes on at his side. All en'
ergetie passions act as blinkers.
SCENE AT A LYNCIIING,-111E
darn correspondent of the Boston Jour
nal relates the following incident as oc
curring at the recent execution of the
murderers, at Leavenworth, by the peu
ple of that town :
Judge Latta forced his way through
the crowd until he reached Quarles,whe.
was already dead with fear. "Have you
any friends for whom you wish to have
a message ?" he asked.
The rope was already so tight that'
Quarles's eyes were starting from their
sockets ; but gasped out : "I have a
wife and three children, who live in
New York. 1---"
He was too late. The peonle were'
determined that at least one cri ninal
should be punished without judicial or
executive interference, He never fin
ished the sentence, and in a second hio
body was dangling in the air. His hands
were not tied,and he succeeded in reach
ing the rope above his head, and raising
himself for a moment. But there was
a wrench from the crowd at the other
end ; some stout ruffian sprang up and'
caught him by the feet, throwing the
whole weight of his body upon him,and
Quarles's nerves never struggled again.
NOT BAD.—Four professional gentle
men, the other night, drove several ,
miles up the river to an eligible spot for
bathing. The night was fine, they were
in fine spirits, and having left their
clothes in the carriage were shortly lav
ing their fine persons in the river, with
sensations peculiarly fine. So absorbed ,
Were they in the pleasures of the river
bath, that they had wandered to some
distance, when one of them exclaimed,
"The horse is running off?". They ran,,
but the horse would not stop; for though
he had nothing in the carrage but their,
clothes, he felt under the imperative ne—
cessity of conveying them home I It
was about one o'clock when the servant
of one of the gentleman heard "massa's
carriage coming," and went out to put
it up. What was his horror to find no

suits of clothes.

stealthily approached till nearly oppo.

and grasped the horse's head, crying,.
"Whoa!" &mho was glad it was massa.,
and the two returned to the disconso

were better to await the doubtful retuvtt
of the carriage, or abash the virgin moon
by running to their several places of
abode, at the imminent risk of being
knocked down by the watchmen. The
carriage relieved them; and having dress
