The enormous consumption of baked beans in Boston every Sabbath is illustrated by the fact that one baker at the South End who sells these edibles by the quart, already cooked, disposed of no less than six bushels of baked beans on Sunday morning, or 'about 200 quarts, at sixteen cents a quart, and this in a vicinity where cooking stoves are abundant, and many people bake their own beaus.

The other children died the same night from the effects of the snake bite. The State of North Carolina offers for sale through her Uovernor, on the part of the hoard of Literature of the State, all her public swamp lands, consisting of about one million and a half of acres. Some of these lands have been drained, and all are said to lie susceptible of drainage at, mod erate expense. '['hey are particularly adapted for grazing and are very fertile. A pamphlet of some thirty pages is put firth, containing all the facts in regard to them and other parts of the State. The object of selling the lands is to secure the develop ment of the State and to sustain the com mon schools. All London is at the feet of Mlle. Chris tine Nilsson, a young Swedish singer, who has of a sudden made almost as great a sensation there as did the Swedish nightin gale, .lenny Lind, a score of years ago. She is described us "pale, fair-haired, a little above the medium height, slender in frame, composed and graceful in bearing," in fact, a very attractive person. tier voice is pure soprano, fresh, bright and penetrating, and her style is remarkably finished and bril liant. Mlle. Nilsson was first brought out in the theatre Lyrique, at Paris, where her success was marked, though it remained for London to discover what a real gent the musical world had in her.

A wealthy German named Craverling, of Bloomsburg, Perry county, was married on the ltd inst., to a wealthy widow 'mined Harvey, their ages being about sixty years, respectively, at Constantine, Mich. Since then one Wiwi F.Trench, also aged about sixty, has instduted n suit of breach or promise against Mrs. Gruverling, and she is under $1,500 bonds to answer. French claims that Mrs. Harvey that was and him self bud made preparation for their wed• ding soon after the 4th of July, and he now claims $5,000 damages for the cruel lacera tion of his heart. Drinking lee Water It is claimed by some physicians that the universal American habit of drinking Ice- Water is a very injurious one as regards the ultimate health of the individual. Pouring BO much cold water into the stomach chills it, and directly leads to that most horrible of diseases, dyspepsia. It disturbs the cir culation, induces heart diseases, and causes other woeful physical conditions. In Europe, light wines, ales, beers and, among the temperate, sugar water is the drink. There we find clear complexion, robust health, sound judgment, and good common sense. In this country the health seems to be the last thing thought about, and no sense at all is used upon the subject. The French Prince. The French Prince Imperial appears to have recovered from his decent severe ill ness, and even to have tohquired vigorous health. He did the hone :8 to the eons of the Sultan on that sovereign's visit to Paris. A correspondent, who saw the young prince at play with his young comrades and the gentlemen of his suite, says he ran, Jumped, and played at ball with as much agility as *any boy of his age. It appears that the young prince is an adept. at billiards—a game he constantly plays. His agility is so great that he vaults over the billiard table with ease. A slight limp was remarked after a long run, but even:that, the femains of his /ate illness, Is eaexcely percept/Wei The Ineveesed Cost of Living. The evils of a depreciated currency and an indiscriminating tariff, while they are sorely felt, are not half understood by thousands of those who suffer most from them. Does the American laborer reflect that he is called upon to pay from twenty five to thirty-three per cent. of his average earnings in indirect taxation? The in creased cost in dollars of his living neces sities is due, not alone to the fact that his paper dollar will not purchase him a dol lar's worth, but also to the fact that a dol lar's worth of many articles that he buys is doubled, and in some cases neariy trebled in price, by a series of subtle taxes Olathe, the consumer, really has to mein. For in stance, let us calculate for him the taxes he is obliged to pay on the article of tea alone. Gold being at SL4O, a pound of tea may be reckoned to cost as follows, from the time it is delivered to the importer until it reaches the table of the family who drink it: Original cost of tea, imported $ .50 Discount on currency to pay for it .25 Duty in gold .25 Discount on currency to make up the gold .15 Contingencies ...... ........ ......... - ........... ........... .10 Profit of importer .12 Profit of jobber .18 Pronto/ country merchant, say 2.5 per cent. .38 Before the war, the cost of the same arti cle would have been reckoned thus : Original cost, imported. Ten per cent, for coo tingencies Profit of importer . Profit of jobber Profit of country merchant...... This estimate will hold good concerning nearly all foreign articles imported; and iu the relative prices of many of them be fore and since the war, the discrepancy is still greater. A Direful Negro Outrage We have the particulars of an outrage, which of late has beensomewhat prevalent, the ravishing of a white woman by a negro. The crime was committed about twelve miles up the Big Sandy River, and the victim is a Mrs. Riley, a respectable mar ried woman. The brute watched the hus band leave home, and she had no protection. She, however, resisted to the utmost, and was finally knocked down senseless, when he committed the diabolical act. The wretch is identified as one Allen Han son, a fugitive from Western Virginia, where it is alleged he committed a similar crime about rive weeks ago. A man answering the description of the ravisher has been arrested by Deputy Sheriff G. W. Castle, at Louisa, Kentucky, twelve miles from the scene of the outrage. Mrs. Riley has been sent for to identify him, and if be prove the villian, the excitement is so intense that he will have but a short shrift. —Cincinnati Enquirer. Great Destitution Among the White Peo pie in North Carolina. Major-General Howard has received the report of Brevet Major-General Miles As sistant Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau for North Carolina, detailing opera tions in June, in which he remarks: " There is a class of persons in this State who are the innocent sufferers of the late war, and whose condition is deplorable, and who are the objects of great pity.. These are the poor white women and children left widows and orphans, their fathers, husbands, and brothers having been killed or crippled during the rebellion. They are counted by thousands, and are now living on charity, and the future pre sents no brighter prospects for them ; they must live in idleness and want for the re mainder of their lives, or this State. Here there is no employment for them. Hundreds have gone into the fields and endeavored to earn enough to sustain life ; but their feeble constitutions soon break down under the burning sun. If this class of people were in any of our manufacturing towns in Now England, they could be enabled to a sphere of usefulness, and enjoy all the comforts of life, and at the same dine give to their chil dren advantages of education, which are denied in {heir present position. If em ployment could be guaranteed them in any part of the country, this Bureau would fur nish thein with transportation, and they would gladly leave these scenes of want, and sorrow." California Politics There are now three tickets in the field in California, a Convention which met at the capital on the lith, having placed the fol lowing gentlemen in nomination: For Gov ernor, John Bidwell; for Secretary of State, D. G. McCullon ; for Comptroller, William Jones; and for State Printer, Edward Jef fries. The telegraph must have erred when it termed the Convention which made these nom i nationS Republican," that party hav ing its ticket, with Gorham at the head, already in the field. The chances are that Bidwell will be Governor, and F. F. Low, present Governor and former Representa tive at Washington, will succeed Conness in the United States Senate.—N. Y. Evening Ecpress. THE DEVIL AND OLD THAD." Old Thaddeus Stevens(may his tribe decrease), Awoke one night, disturbed in his peace, And saw, outside the comfort of his room, Making It warmer for the gathering gloom, The lour [lend shivering in the winter's cold— Exceeding wickedness made Thud. Stevens bold, And to the presence In the dark he said, •' What, wautest thou?" The figure raised its head, And with a look of fiendish hate, replied, "The men who hate the human race, Whose words, and thoughts, and actions all are base " " And am I one?" said Stevens; " Nay, not so, Replied the ileud—Stevens spoke more low, Bat boldly still and said, "Write one then, As one who for Lydia's sake, have hated al white men." The figure bowed and vanished. The next night, It came again and to the old man's sight, It showed the names whose memory is forever cursed, And Jo! the name of Thaddeus Stevens was the first.
