"Young Fungus."
The "old French War" was over.
The banners of England had long
streamed above the towers of Quebec.
The Indians had left the woods and
lakes of New Hampshire, for the broader
waters and deeper forests of Canada and
the West. Time had benumbed the
iron sinews of the rangers—untamable
by any other enemy—or they were
sleeping " each in his narrow cell for
ever laid." Where the red man once
roamed after the moose, prowled upon
the scout, or lighted the council fire—
now stood the infant village and the
peaceful neighborhood. Thewater-fall,
at whose foaming foot the Indian once
darted his rude spear into the salmon,
or booked the trout upon his curved bit
of bone, now turned the wheel of the
clumsy grist-mill, where the jogging
farmer brought his "rye and Indian,"
over moor and hill, through bush and
swamp, in safety. The congregations,
S they gathered together "at meeting,"
no longer brought their charged guns
to their house of worship, or feared that
the prayers of their minister would be
interrupted by the war whoop—of Lo
veil's men scarcely a survivor remained
of the few that lived through the despe-•
rate fight at Pigwaeket. Chamberlain
was yet alive. He had long given over
hunting, and •peace had changed his
war spear into an implement of hus
bandry ; of all his hunting and fighting
gears nothing remained to him but the
gun I hat shot old Paugus at Lovell's
pond, and the bullet pouch and yellow
powder horn, covered over with Indian
device., which were the spoil of the
sav:iiv , in the terrible encounter. These
he had preserved with au old man's
care. II is cottage was the centre crf a
considerable hamlet,. A wild stream
ran past it, and, a little way below tum
bled down a fall, on which stood one of
the rude saw mills of that day. Old
Chamberlain, once the swift hunter and
proud warrior, was now its humble
owner, and more humble tender. He
had survived his wife and children.
Few of his neighbors ventured to be
familiar with him on account of the
stern peculiarity of his character, and
he passed his days in solitude, except
ing such associations as men had with
him in his humble vocaCion.
In Llie year, 1787, towards the close of
one of those fair (lays in autumn, which
make up the "Indian summer," a num
ber of the villagers of bad gather
ed into their one story tavern, to talk
over the affairs of the little public, as
was their wont—wheu they surprised
and started by the entrance of a young
Indian among them. An Indian at
that Lime had got to he a rarity in P—.
He was tall, over six feet, and finely
formed after the fashion of the forest.
Ile hail a belt of wampum around his
waist, and from it bung his tomahawk.
A long gun was in his hand, and he
stood in his moccasins with the grace
and dignity of a son of a chief. He
placed his gun behind the door, and
silently took his seat by himself. A
little before sunset, the farmers left the
Inn and returned to their homes. One
old hunter ruin:tined with the landlord
and the young savage. The hunter
eyed the Indnin with keen attention
1s suspicions were awakened at the
sight of this warrior armed, so remote
from the residence of the nearest tribe,
and in a time of peace.
Ile was acquainted wiLh the Indian
character in old wars, and his suspicions
were heightened and confirmed, when
he heard the young chief ask the land
lord in a low and indifferent tone, if
one I 'lnunberlain dwelt in the village?
The landlord pointed out to him the
will where he dwelt. The Indian took
his gun and went out.
" Smile of the blood of old Pau g us,"
Ham Um hunter, "and I'll venture my
life, come to avenge the death of that
old elder upon Cinunberlain. I'll give
the old man warning." He hastily
stepped out and followed a winding
foot pal In that led down to the saw mill,
where the old man was still at his toils.
1-I.• retp•hcd the mill and told Chamber-
- _
lain, that young - Paugus from Canada
had come with his rifle and toma
hawk, to avenge upon him the death o
that chief, Chamberlain's cheeks turned
ashy pale, and he sternly replied, " tell
young Paugus I have the gun that slew
his father, and he had better return to
the forest, than molest me in my old
age," and as he spoke he pointed to the
long gun, as it hung upon prongs of the
moose horn, driven in the saw plate, and
near it was suspended the bullet pouch
and powder horn of Pigwacket. The
hunter had given his warning and re
tired. The sun was setting at the house
Moosehillock. Chamberlain took
down his guts—tried its illnt—charged
it took the pouch and the horn, flung
them upon his side, hung up near the
saw gate, the old garments he had worn at
work through the day, hoisted the gate of
the mill and set It rapidly agoing,looking
keenly around him hi every direction,
and retired to nit eminence, a few rods
distant, crowned with a clump of thick
bushes, and crouched down toawaitthe
approach of his mysterious enemy. He
was not, however, mysterious to Cham
berlain. The old man remembered
every trait of the Indian character,
and calculated with great accuracy
as to the time and manner of young
Paugns. Just as it was growing too
dusky to distinguish a human form ex
cept towards the west, the old mau de
scried him creeping cautiously from a
bunch of bushes eight or ten rods above
the mill by the side of the torrent, with
his cocked rifle before him and his hand
upon the lock. The young savage heard
the noise of the saw gate, and could dis
cern its rapid motion, and shrunk back
in the thicket. He came out again a
lithe distant from where he went in,
and with the wary motions of the
ambush, reconnoitered the mill.—
Chamberlain eyed him all the while
as Lhc catamount eyes the fox.—
Young Paugus crept out of the
ambush the third time, and in a
new quarter, and was stealthily ad•
yam:lug, when something seemed to
catch his eye iu the form of his father's
slayer—he stopped short—brought his
rifle to his eye, and with quick aim
tired. The report rang sharp and low
upon the still air, as if the gun itself
was muffled, or afraid to speak above
breath. Young Paugus crept out upon
a mill log that extended over the rapid,
and stretched himself up to his full
height, as if to ascertain, without ad
vancing, the success of his shot. The
old man could spare him no longer. He
saw die well remembered form of the
old Pickwueket chief, as the young
savage stood against the sky of the west,
which was still red with the rays of the
sinking sun. He levelled the fatal gun
—it blazed—young Paugus leaped into
the air six feet as the ball whistled
through his heart, and his lifeless body
fell into the rapid that foamed below
him, while his vengeful spirit fled, and
mingled with that sterner one which
patted long before at LovelPs pond in
"the land where their fathers had
gone."
Chamberlain returned slowly and
gloomily to his cottage. The next
morning, a bullet hole through the
centre of the old garment he had hung
on the saw gate, admonished him, that
the aim as well us the vengeance of old
Paugus, had descended to his sons, and
as he mused upon those he had slain,
and reflected that, although he was old,
he might have again to lift his gun
against the blood of Paugus, or himself
fall by their avenging hand—he wished
bitterly that soine other bullet than his
own had slain that renowned Indian,
and that they had never met to quench
their battle thirst and scour out their
foul guns, upon the beach of Lovell's
pond.

VOLUME 68
Jim Nelson's Revenge
BY JOHN TRAVERS.
I always like comin g straight at things,
so if I am going to tell what I know
about this, .1 ask your leave to do it in
my own way, for I'm a plain man with
plaim words, and have no knowledge of
writing fine, so here goes:
I was married to Susan Gatley on the
first of February in the year 1803, at St.
Paul's Church, Highford street, which
may be seen by looking at the writing
in the books. Her father Is in the
butchering line. He says to me, when
I asked for Susan : "William," says he,
" o' course I have a liking for my little
girl, and likes to see her well settled in
life and happy, and I asks you as a man
and a father, what's your lookout?"
'•Susan's father," says I, "I drive, as
you know, on the Great Eastern that
goes across the country, with £2OO a
year and fuel, and I'll take care of your
Susan and be a kind and dutiful man to
her."
" William," says he, shaking my
hand, with tears in his eyes that the
bleating of all his lambs he's killed iu
his day couldn't bring ; " you can take
her, and good luck to yer, though since
her mother was throwed she's been bite
and sup to me, and 'Eaven help but
may she be the same to you."
Well, I was going away, feeling hap
py along of the ease with which things
was working, when he calls me back,
saying, " William I ain't a vicious
man, nor yet a backbiter, but I must
say that, if you take Susan, you get an
enemy along with her."
" She ! " says I, taken quite aback.
"Fact," says he; "that Jim Nelson
has been hankering after my little girl,
off and on ; but she don't like him. No
more do I; and no more do you.
I nodded "yes."
"And he told me one night that he'd
be an enemy to him that got Susan,
without 'twas himself."
"Never you fear ; I thought that it
was them lawyers that might be driviu
of us apart," said I, laughing hearty ;
but the old fellow shook his head in a
doubtful style.
Well we—that is Susan and I—were
wedlocked, as they call it, gay and
happy as a marriage bell; and we were
coming out of the church, when up
came Jim Nelson, white around the
mouth and nose, and he wliispired to
me, "William Rogers, there's some
thing betwixt you and me so long as
you live,
which won't be long."
What he said quickly; and• before I
could get Susan's arm off, so as to give
him a clip, Susan's pa, who was walk
ing behind with a white rose in his
mouth, stepped up, and, being a strong
man, he caught Jim by the shoulders
and turned him round, and gave him
one with his boot. I think it was done
well, for he rolled down the steps and
into a hole that the sexton was in, and
that made it worse. I didn't feel like
laughing, for it seemed unnatural ; and
that day was, to me, happy, and
wanted it so all around ; and it felt as
though my engine was running over
the sleepers, instead of on the rails,
when Jim got up out of the hole, all
covered with dirt, and stood, as pale as
a ghost, shaking his fist at me and
Susan, without speaking a word.
I couldn't shake 011 the remembrance
of it all that day nor the next, and a
kind of dread stuck to me; iu spite of
all I could do the thoughts of it would
come suddenly to me in the oddest places,
and 1 began to feel a little strange. It
wasn't fear for me at all, but I kept
thinking, suppose that he should do
some harm to Susan when 1 was away
on the road, or come and scare her with
his white face. By George! thinks I
to myself, I'd tie him on the track
lengthwise and run over him if I
thought he'd do that. I know it was a
cruel thing to think of him who had
done me no harm, but I was just so
savage along of thinking of his wanting
to come between me and my lawful
wife.
The next day I went on my route as
usual, which was from Croydon to Pal
lertou, just 103 miles. I drive the
Nestor with the express down in the
morning and then back to Croydon
again, starting at about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon; though that is not quite cer
tain as we have to wait for passengers
by tilt boat, and that is kept back by
storms and such like, though on tie
average the time doesn't vary more
than fifteen minutes.
In the winter time, as it was when
this happened, of course it is dark as
pitch when we run into Croydon, with
out there's a moon ; and I always look
well at the head light and drive with
my eyes wide open ; and I generally
let her go full, as the track is 'well
cleared of special trains at that time,
and the way they have of telegraphing
now-a-days, keeps me well posted about
the truck ahead by the signal lanterns
along the route. So you see I felt pretty
safe, and knowing 1 was a careful man,
I didn't have much fear that I'd let
anything go that would show that Jim
was going to get his revenge by doing
me a harm on the rouil, or by spoiling
my reputation as an engineer. For, do
you see, the idea struck me that, know
ing the road himself, and all its work
ings, that he might think it was easy
to hurt me that way, and so I kept my
eyes open.
The next day I looked at Jim's house,
which is about _twenty miles out of
Croydon, in the woods, and near the
track, and I saw him anding in the
doorway, scowling at me, or,leastways,
where he knew I was, for he knew my
train and habits, as we were chums
once. He kept his eye on the cab win
dow, and as we got almost out of sight,
I looked round sudden, and saw him
shaking his list at the train. Thinks I
to myself when I saw that, William
Rogers, you look sharp when you come
buck over this route tonight; men that
have a spite that lives as strong as that,
two days and two nights, ought to be
looked after, and more than that, Susan
said to me that morning when she was
putting my dinner in the pail, says she
•' William, dear"—
! "Yes, Susan," says I, with my moot
full of bread.
" William, would it make much di
.erence if you came in half an hour late
to-night with the train ?"
"No, Susan, perhaps not." You see
I half knew what was coming.
"Because I'm afraid, almost, of some
thing ; don't ask me what it is, for I
don't know myself. I feel it somehow,
and want you to drive slow, and promise
me, William dear, to look at the lan
terns, and wheels, and things, won't
you ?"
"Susan," says I, kissing of her, "I'll
walk her all the way."
And that was what I was going to do.
I made Collins, the fireman, mad as a
March hare by making him go through
the wheels twice with a hammer before
we started back from Pallerton that
night. I went through the engine my
self, examined the springs and levers,
and had two extra men put on the
brakes and au extra lantern fastened on
the engine in front of the boiler. They
all laughed at me, but I kept on till I
felt that things were as they should be.
When I wasspeaking of Jim Nelson's
house in the woods, perhaps I ought to
have said that be was a widower and
had a little tot of a baby, and I noticed
it as I ran by that morning, playing
round in the door-yard. I say this so
that that which comes after may be
better understood.
Well, we started back at 4:20, that is,
back to Croydon. It was storming as I
thought It never did before; the clouds
rolling up black and the wind came
down from the mountains cold and
blustering. I shut her all up tight and
turned down the light in the cab so that
I might see better how things went out:
side. Pretty soon It came on to rain,
mixed with hail, and the night came
down blacker than before. 1 kept my
hand on the lever and my eyes to the
broad streak of light that lit up about
two hundred yards of the track. I let
her along easy at about twenty miles an
hour, taking a look now and then at the
cars and keeping an eye on everything.
We ran on steadily this way for two
hours and lost fifteen minutes, and still
everything was right. I kept my
Course, as the danger commenced now
if there was any at all. The storm and
rain were worse than ever, and beat
against us like mad, and blew thesmoke
and steam down over us so that I felt
like stopping altogether, but of course
this wouldn't do. We kept on this
way for another hour, feeling our way
carefully: About twenty minutes after
that I got off my seat to look at the oil
cups and gauge, when, quick as light
ning, Collins, the fireman, jerked my
arm and shouted : " Good God, there's
a child crawling on the track !"
I shoved my lever back and pulled
the whistle valve short and quick, and
opened the cab 'window and jumped
out on the engine,—in doing so, I
thought afterward, I must have kicked
the lever back again. At that moment
what I saw made me forget everything
else, for sure enough, about two hun
dred feet in front of the engine, in the
middle of the track was a little one,
kneeling on its hands and knees, and
without moving, butlooking straight at
the light of the lanterns. God help me,
says I, seeing the poor thing must be
killed if I didn't help it, and I scram
bled forward past the boiler and out on
the cow-catcher. The wheels of the
c a ttrs grated, but the engine was work
ing harder than it had that night. I
couldn't stop to think why, and putting
my feet between the bars, I caught hold
of the shackle with my left hand and
leaned forward over the track. I shut
my teeth together tight and held on like
death, knowing well that a slip of my
hand or foot would end me. The poor
cowering little thing crept away to one
side, but was so scared that it had sunk
down and was laying on its belly
across the rail. " God help it," again
says I, bending low down, and I stuck
my arm out straight and stiff, with my
hand an inch from the track; in an in
stant I shoved my hand under the body
of the child, but pushed it along about
five feet before I could close my hand
on the dress, then I lifted it•up over my
head and put it on the platform behind
me, 'and then, quick as may be, I fol
lowed, for I felt a kind of weakness
coming over me. I took the baby in
my arms, but was too weak to go back,
so I sat there. The engine was going
like lightning and the rain was beating
in mine and the baby's face, and the
wheels was grinding and roaring, and
afore heaven I never was so woman
ish slow -, '
of any danger I have been in,
as I was then, with the poor little thing,
and its arms around my neck, and sob
bing as if its heart would break. I was on
ly there a minute, and was nearly faint
ing, when I heard a shouting louder
than the storm and the noise of the en
gine, and I opened my eyes and saw the
figure of a man about thirty yards in
front of the engine. He stooped down,
then jumped up with something large
in his hands, and threw it off the track ;
then he did it again and again. He
worked quick and wild like, and just
before the engine reached him he jump
ed oil; and the glare of the lantern fell
on him at that instant, and showed a
face which was pale round the lips and
nose, such as I had seen before.
Well, I got back to the cab with the
baby, and whistled the brakes off, and
went into Croydon thirty-five minutes
before time. I told Susan all about it,
and she took to the baby in fine style,
and she and I sat by the fire that even
ing, Lalking and wondering over what
had happened, when a knock came to
the door, and I went to it and says,
"Who's there?"
It's me," says a voice, whch was
trembling as though the man was'cry
ing ; " let me in Rogers. I'm Jim Nel
son. got nothing agin' you and
Susan now, God knows."
So I opened' the door and he came in,
staggering as if he was in liquor, and
as white as snow. Then he looked
around the rpom, and seeing the child
iu Susan's lap he ran to it, and kneel-
ing down buried his face in its clothes
and sobbed and cried as I never saw a
man before or since. After a while he
got a little calmed ; then he stood up,
and turning round to me he says:
" William Rogers, I meant to do you
a harm tonight; but you saved the lit
tle one for me, which is all I have to
love in this big world. You took one
away from me, and I thought to mend
my breaking; but, William," he went
on, " I wasn't the old Jim Nelson,
which is a true man, and who is a
speaking to you now, and so I asks for
giveness of you and her."
Then Susan and I shook hands with
him, but we could not speak a word.
Then J ins stooped down and took the
baby into his arms, and says, as a last
word to Susan and me ;
" God bless both of you for man and
wife," says he, " and may you always
be happy."—Then he turned and shut
the door behind him and went out into
the storm and rain—and I have never
seen him since.
Watering Place Scenes
"John Paul," in his letter to the
Springfield Rupab/ican, written from
Saratoga, narrates a scene there—part
of which he was—just as natural as life
itself:
But you should have seen the scenes
at the hotels; young women and old
women rushing up and down the halls
some screaming fire and some shouting
water, some in their stocking feet, and
all in a shocking fright. Verily,
"I' were worth lea years of peaceful life,
Oue glauce at their array.
Seeing Arabella at the hop in the eve
ning, I could not believe that it was the
same young lady whom I saw hopping
about the hall. Most of the girls looked
pretty in their robes dc nuit, their bare
little feet peeping out beneath the em
broidered edge like mice, and pattering
on the floor like summer rain. But all
don't "peel" so well. There was the
Dowager Dunderberg, under the short
est of canvas, backing and filling,
wearing and tacking, and altogether
making the worst weather that ever
was seen. Her high quarter galleries
worked and creaked, and the seams
kept opening till it seemed a foregone
conclusion that the old craft at the next
pitch would go down stern foremost.
Had she but run down her spanker,
bowsed up her jib a bit, and shown a
staysail to the wind, she'd rode out the
rough weather very comfortably, and
could have given any number of the
lesser and weaker vessels safe and
sufficient protection under her ample
lee.
You've never seen me comfort wo
men, have you? Ah, you should have
seen me on this occasion, telling them
not to be afraid, that I didn't believe
there was auy fire, that if there was it
was a mile or two off, that if it wasn't
a mile or two off it wouldn't hurt any
body, that I was there and a whole fe
male seminary could find shelter orimy
manly bosom, and that,—
But you may say you thought I was
at the fire, putting that out. Well, so I
was, but having got the flames under
control, I ran up in the Union to see
what could be done with the women.
You see my "flame" was there and I
wanted to " subdue " her. As it is, I
flatter myself that I've rather got the
dead wood on aboutune-half the women
at the Union. I guess they won't turn
up their noses at me because I'm poor
and don't wear good clothes. I guess
I know a thing or two about the way
their toilettes are made up, and I guess
I'll blow on them if they don't behave
very pretty to me for the future.
Double-Faced Calf.
IL is no uncommon sight for us to meet
double-faced men; and sometimes it is said
there may be seen double-faced women
and we have known a few double-faced
calves of the biped kind—but it has been
reserved to our Jersey friends over in War
ren county to produce a quadruped In the
shape of a two-faced, twin-featured, double
nosed, two-mouthed and four-eyed calf,
which was recently born on the Mettler
farm, about three miles from Phillipsburg.
The animal still lives, kicks, winks and
blinks, and has already successfully pro
gressed for over a fortnight of its terrestrial
existence. Both mouths are in operation
when being fed; the two upper eyes, which
are located directly in the forehead, seem to
be sympathetically affected, and the sight
in all four perfect. The body of the calf is
also perfect. It has been purchased by
Jacob Vliett, at the Cooper Furnace, where
it is now on exhibiton. We understand
that the price paid down for it was $lOO ; if
it lives, Mr. V. has obligated himself to pay
$5OO for it. This is certainly a high-priced
calf, Should it live, the investment will be
a paying one to the owner, who has since
been offered $5,000 for it by a New York
party.—Doyiedoum Democrat.

The Married Life of Prince Albers and
the Queen Victoria.
The long expected volume, prepared
under the directions of Queen Victoria,
and entitled " The Early Years of his
Royal Highness the Prince Consort,"
has just appeared in London. It was
prepared under the superintendence of
the Queen, by Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. C.
Grey ; but others which are to follow
will be edited lay Mr. Theodore Martin.
The translation of the Prince's letters
are, with a few merely verbal correc
tions, by the Princess Jlelena.
The possibility of a marriage between
the Queen and the Prince was, it seems,
fondly looked forward to by the Dow
ager-Duchess •of Coburg from a very
early period, and the Prince used to
relate that "when he was a child of
three years old, his nurse always told
him that he should marry the Queen ;
and that when he first thought of mar
rying at all, he always thought of her."
As the children grew up this was warm
ly encouraged by the King of the Bel-
gians, from, whom, indeed, the Queen
first heard of it; but the idea of such a
marriage met with much opposition,
and the late Kipg William IV. did
everything in his power to discourageit.
No fewer than five other marriages had
been contemplated for the young Prin
cess; and the King, though he never
mentioned the subject to the Princess
herself, was especially anxious to bring
about an alliance between her and the
late Prince Alexander of the Nether•
lauds; brother to the present King of
Holland. In his anxiety to effect this
object he did everythine he could,
though ineffectually, to prevent the
Duke of Coburg's visit to England in
18:313, when lie came over with his sons
and spent nearly four weeks at Ken
sington Palace with the Duchess of
Kent. Queen Adelaide, in later years,
said to the Queen that if she had told
the King that it was her own earnest
wish to marry her cousin, and that her
own happiness depended on It, he would
at once have given up his opposition to
it, as lie was very fond of and always
very kind to his niece. It was then
that the Queen and Prince met for the
first time, and Her Majesty thus records
her impressions of the visit:
The Prince was at that time much shorter
than his brother, already very handsome,
but very stout, which he entirely grew out
of afterward. He was most amiable,
- -
natural, unaffected, and merry—full of
interest in everything, playing on the piano
with the Princess, his cousin—drawing;
in short, constantly occupied. He always
paid the greatest attention to all he saw,
and the Queen remembers well how in-
ently he listened to the sermon preached
n St. Paul's, where ho and his father and
iro titer accompanied the Duchess of Kent
d the Princess there on the occasion o
the service attended by the children of the
different charity schools. It is indeed rare
to see a prince, not yet 17 years of age, be
stownig such earnest attention on a sermon.
It was probably in the early part of
1838 that the King of the Belgians, in
writing to the Queen, first mentioned
the idea of such a marriage. Both the
Prince and his father seem to have ob-
jetted from the first to the proposal that
a few years should elapse before the
marriage should take place, he being
then IS years of age. "I am ready,
he said to King Leopold, " to submit to
this delay if I have only some certain
assurance to go upon. But, if after wait
ing perhaps for three years I should find
that the Queen no longer desired the
marriage, it would place me in a very
ridiculous position, and would to a cer
tain extent ruin all the prospects of my
future life." The Queen says she never
entertained any idea of this, and she
afterward repeatedly informed the
Prince that she would never have mar
ried any one else. She expresses, how
ever, great regret that she had not after
her accession kept up her correspond
ence wiCh her cousin as she had done
before it. "Nor can the Queen now,"
she adds:
"Think without indignation against herself
of her wish to keep the Prince waiting for
probably three or tour years, at the risk of
ruining all his prospects for life, or until she
might feel inclined to marry! And the
Prince has since told her that he came over
in 1839 with the intention of telling her that
if she could not then make up her mind she
nust understand that he could not now wait
decision, as he had done at a former
I teriod when this marriage was first talked
about. The only excuse the queen can
make fur herself is in the fact that the sud
den change from the secluded life at Kens
ington to the independence of her position
as queen regnant, at the age of 18, put all
ideas of a marriage out of her mind, which
she now most bitterly repents. A worse
school for a young girl, or one more detri•
mental to all natural feelings and affections,
cannot. well be imagiuod than the position
of a Race❑ id 18 without experience, and
without a husband to guide and support
her. This tho Queen call state from painful
experience, :dui she thanks (toil that none
hor deer daughters are exposed to such
danger.
In October, 1839, the visit to England
was paid which decided the fate of the
young Prince's life. Prince Albert was
accompanied by hls brother, and both
were charged with a letter from the
King of the Begiaus to the Queen, In
which he recommended them to her
kindness.
The volume then proceeds to describe
the reception given by the Queen to the
Princes, and the way of life at Windsor
during their stay. They arrived on the
10th of October, and on the 14th the
queen told Lord Melbourne that she
had made up her mind to the marriage.
The courtier statesman expressed his
great satisfaction. An intimation was
given to the Prince that the queen
wished to speak to him next day. On
that day, the 15th, the Prince had been
out hunting with his brother, but re
turned at 12, and half au hour after
ward obeyed the queen's summons to
her room, where he found her alone.
After a few minutes' conversation on
other subjects the Queen told him,
why she had sent for him ; " and
we can well understand," writes
General Grey, "any little hesitation
and delicacy she may have felt in doing
so, for the Queen's position making it
imperative that any proposal of mar
riage should come first from her, must
necessarily appear a painful one to those
who, deriving their ideas on this subject
from the practice of private life, are
wont to look upon it as the privilege
and happiness of a woman to have her
hand sought in marriage Instead of hav
ing to offer it herself." The Queen her
self says that the Prince received her
offer " without any hesitation, and with
the warmest demonstrations of kindness
and affection," The Queen told him to
fetch his brother Ernest, which he did.
The Queen announces what had taken
place in the following letter to the King
of Belgium :
',Vic DS OR CASTLE, Oct. 15, 1839.
My DEAREST UaCLE: This letter will, I
am sure, give you pleasure, for you have
always shown and taken so warm an in
terest iu all that concerns me. My mind is
quite made up, and I told Albert this morn
ing of it. The warm affection he showed
me on learning this gave me great pleasure.
He seems perfection, and I think that I
have the prospect of very great happiness
before me. I love him more than I can
say, and shall do everything in my power
to render this sacrifice (for such in my
opinion it is) as small as I can. He seems
to have great tact, a very necessary thin gin
his position. These last few days have
passed like a dream to me, and I am so
much bewildered by it all that I hardly
know how to write; but I do feel very
happy. It is absolutely necessary that this
determination of mine should be known to
no one but yourself and to Uncle Ernest
until after the meeting of Parliament, as it
would be considered, otherwise, neglectful
on my part not to have assembled Parlia
ment at once to inform them of It.
"Lord Melbourne, whom I have of course
consulted about the whole affair, quite
approves my choice, and expresses great
satisfaction at this event, which he thinks
in every way highly desirable.
" Lord Melbourne has acted in this busi
ness as he has always done toward me, with
the greatest kindness and affection. We
also think it better, and Albert quite ap
proves of it, that we snould be married very
soon after Parliament meets, about the be
ginning of February.
" Pray, dearest Uncle, forward these two
letters to Uncle Ernest, to whom 1 beg you
will enjoin strict secrecy, and explain these
details, which I have not time to do and to
faithfu Stookmar . I think you might tell
Louise of it, but none of her amity.
"I wish to keep the dear young gentle-
man here till the end of next month. Ern
est'ssincere pleasure gives me great delight.
He does so adore dearest Albert.
"Ever, dearest Uncle,
" Your devoted niece,
V. R."
The King replied that the Queen's
choice bad been "for these last years"
his conviction of what would be best for
her happiness.
"In your position, which may and will
perhaps become in future even more diffi
cult in a political point of view, you could
not EXIST without having a happy and
agreeable interieur.' And I ant much de
ceived (which I think I am not) or you will
find in Albert just the very qualities and
disposition which are indispensable for your
happiness, and which will suit your own
character, temperoind mode of life.
"You say most amiably that you con
sider it a sacrifice on the part of Albert.
This is true in many points, because his
position will be a difficult one; but much,
I may say all. will depend on your affec
tion for him. If 'YOU love him, and are kind
to him, he will easily bear the brothers of
his position, and there is a steadiness, and
at the same time a cheerfulness in his
character, which will facilitate this."
From Prince Albert's own letters we
learn something more of this interest
ing interview. In a letter to his grand
mother he writes:
The Queen sent for me alone to her room
a few days ago, and declared to me in a
genuine outburst of love and affection (Er
gusse von Herzlichkeit and Liebe) that I
had gained her whole heart, am! would
mak.J her intensely happy (iibergliicklich,)
if I would make her the sacrifice of sharing
her life with her, for she said she looked on
it as a sacrifice; the only thing k which
troubled her was that she did not think she
was worthy of me. The joyous openness of
manner in which she told me this quite
enchanted me, and I was quite carried away
by it. She is really most good and amiable,
and I am quite sure Heaven has not given
me into evil• hands, and that we shall be
happy together. Since that moment Vic
toria does whatever she fancies I suould
wish or like, and we talk together a great
deal about our future life, which she
promises me to make as happy as possible.
In another letter to a college friend
he says;
You know how matters stood when I last
saw you here. After ihat the sky was
darkened more and more. The Queen
declared to my uncle of Belgium that she
wished the afthir to be considered as broken
off; and, that for four years she could think
of no marriage. I went, therefore, with the
quiet but firm resolution to declare on my
part that I also, tired of the delay, withdrew
entirely from the affair. It was not, how
ever, thus ordained by Providence, for on
the second day after our arrival the most
friendly demonstrations were directed
toward me, and two days later I was
secretly called to a private audience, in
which the Queen offered me her hand and
heart. The strictest secrecy was required.
Ernest alone knee of it, and it was only at
our departure that I could communicate my
engagement to my mother.
Many interesting passages from the
Queen's journal are then given relating
to the announcement of the marriage
to the Privy Council and the Parlia
ment, and the preliminary arrange
ments. After the Prince returned to
Germany the Queen corresponded con
stantly with him. The Queen seems to
have been indignant at the time with
the proceedings in Parliament relative
to the grant which was ultimately voted
to the Prince. But the Prince himself,
it is said, soon understood the nature of
our political parties, and that " the pro
ceedings in Parliament were only the
result of high party feeling, and were
by no means to be taken as marks of
personal disrespect or want of kiiid feel
ing toward himself.
After the marriage, which took place
on the 10th of February, 1840, the sepa
ration from his father, who returned on
the 28th, was deeply felt by the Prince.
" He said to me," the Queen records in
her journal, " that I had never known
a father, and could not therefore feel
what he did. His childhood had been
very happy. Ernest (the hereditary
prince, who remained for some time in
England after his brother's marriage)
he said was now the only one remaining
here of all his earliest ties and recollec
tions, but that if I continued to love
him as I did now, 1 could make up for
it all. He never cried, he said, in gen
eral, but Alvensleben and Kolowrath,
(they had accompanied the Duke to
England, and now left with him) had
cried so much that he was quite over
come. Oh, how I did feel for my dear
est, precious husband at this moment !
Father, brother, friends, country—all
has he left, and all for me. God grant
that I may be the happy person, the
most happy person to make this dearest,
blessed being happy and contented !
What is in my power to make him
happy I will do.
The Prince disliked the dirt and
smoke, and still more the late hours of
London, and the Queen records of her
self that she soon began to share his
love of the country. In au entry in her
journal, written .in 1840, she says:
I told Albert that formerly I was ton happy
to go to London and wretched to leave it,
and now, since the blessed hour of my mar
-1 rings, and still more since the Summer, I
dislike told /1111 1101111ppy to leave the coun
try, and could he content and happy never
to go to town. This pleased him. The
solid pleasures Of a pencel ul quiet, yet
merry life in the country, with my inesti
mable husband and friend, my all in all,
are far inure durable than the suntsements
of London, though we don't despise or ills.
like these sometimes.
As years went on this preference for
the country on the part of the Queen
grew stronger and stronger, " till resi
dence in London became positively dis
tasteful to her." Her Majesty says in a
note that it was also Injurious to her
health, as she suffered much from the
extreme weight and thickness of the
atmosphere, which gave her the head
ache. Residence in London was, in fact,
"only made endurable by having her I
beloved husband at her side to share
with her and support her in the irk
some duties of court receptions and state
ceremonials. The Prince, however, was
always anxious that the Queen should
spend as much of her time as she could
in London, though the sacrifice to him
was so great.
General Grey, commenting on the
beauty of the domestic life of the royal
family, and the freedom of Prince Al
bert from the vices of former genera
tions of the royal family, observes:
" Above all, he has set an example for
his children, from which they may be
sure they can never deviate without
falling in public estimation, and run
ning the risk of undoing the work which
he has been so instrumental in accom
plishing."
When the Princess Royal was born,
"for a moment only," the Queen says,
"was he disappointed at its being a
daughter and not a son. During the
time the Queen was laid up his care
and devotion," the Queen records,
"were quite beyond expression." He
was content to sit by her in a dark
ened room, to read to her or write for
her. A memorandum by her Majesty
says:
No one but himself ever lifted her from
her bed to her sofa, and he always helped to
wheel her on her bed or sofa into the next
room. For this purpose he would come
instantly, when sent for, from any part of
the house. As years went on, and he be
came overwhelmed with work (for his at
tentions were the same in all the Queen's
subsequent confinements) this was often
done at much inconvenience to himself, but
he ever came with a sweet smile on his face.
"In short," the Queen adds, " his care of
her was like that of a mother, nor could
there be a kinder, wiser, or more judicious
nurse."
The volume closes with the first year
of her Majesty's married life • the next
will probably commence with an ac
count of the Princess Royals christen
ing, in the beginning of the year 1841.
No Irish or Dutch heed Apply
Among the speakers at the late Rich
mond Radical convention was a "colored
delegate from Lynchburg," who, according
to the Whig (Radical organ), expressed ins
opposition to immigration, and didn't want
the "Irish or Dutch" there, as they would
shove the black man out. He wanted, too,
that the lands should be divided, and that
each colored man should have about forty
acres. The negro evidently expects to have
the land and the government of Virgina
pretty much all to himself. A few New
Englanders may be admitted to pecuniary
and political fellowship with him, but no
"Irish" or, Dutch" need apply for any share
in either the property or the politics of the
New Dominion,—Philadelphia Dr/fig News.
How the Negro Vote Was Polled In Tea•
The N. Y. Herald published copious cor
respondence from different points in Ten
nessee showing how the negro vote was
manipulated. From a Nashville letter we
make the following extracts :
The prompt, quiet and orderly manner in
which the negroes attended the polls and
deposited their votes seems to give a color
of truth to the charges which are now made
all over the State that nearly every negro
who participated in the election had been
thorougly drilled iu this duty in the lodge
rooms and conclaves of the loyal leagues.
It is almost impossible to account other
wise for their perfect discipline throughout
the day. There was no contusion whatever
in their midst. They fell into line like sol
diers marching "by the flank ;" kept their
ranks closed in serried column; manifested .
no impatience at the delay, which was in
separable to the work, and step by step
pressed into the polling place. Each man
had his registration paper and Brownlow
ticket folded together. No one had to look
for the proper ballot. Each seemed to have
been provided wio the little paper before
he made his appearance at the polls. If
these charges be true, then the loyal league,
as a secret political society, has been one of
most remarkable success in the attainment
of its objects. Know-Nothingism, in ex
erting an unseen influence upon the voter,
was as nothing to it.
I will give you an account of a little in
cident which transpired within my own
range ofobservation, illustrative of the fact
that the negro was, in some instances at
least, solemnly pledged in secret conclave
to a certain duty on election day.
One of the servants at a hotel in the city
was known to he provided with the all
needful certificate of registration, and it was
proposed as a joke to test his fidelity. Ac
cordingly a gentleman approached him,
asked him if he was so provided, and being
answered iu the affirmative, offered to pur
chase it.
•' No, massa ; I couldn't take less than a
housand dollars for it."
"Oh, that's too much," mild the gentle
man ; "but I'll give you five hundred dol
lars for it."
The durkey apparently considered the
proposal a moment uud then said:
"No, I can't take less than a thousand
dollars. It's wuff all of that."
The gentleman renewed his offer and
pressed its acceptance until at last the dar
key, who seemed to be lriboring under
some mental quandary, if not remorse of
conscience, broke out with—
" No, I can't sell it, masse. I solemnly
swore on my bended knees to vote for
13rownlow, and they told me if I broke my
oath they'd send me to the penitentiary for
a twelvemonth."
The above fact actually occurred. Does
not show that the Loyal League was most
thorough in its ramifications of the negro
race and perfect in its control of the action
of the colored man? The question naturally
arises, what would have been the complex
ion of the vote cast throughout the State had
the negro been left uninfluenced. There
can be no denial of the fact that the white
employer, the old white master, at least
where he had the reputation of being
humane and kind, could have diverted a
large share of the negro vote to the conser
vative ticket, backed as he was by the
exhortations of the colored stump speaker
Williams, had it not been for the unswerv
ing fidelity of the negro to his oath in the
lodge room of the Loyal League. How
would he have voted had there been no
such restraint is an open question. Not
that he would have proved treacherous
en PLUZSC to the party which had madb him
a freedman, but the pro-slavery record of
Brownlow ;would have sealed the fate of
that candidate had the negro been at lib
erty to make a choice, and had there been
a candidate in the field with a purer record
on the combined scores of Unionsm and
abolition.
The spirit in which the disfranchised bore
their lot has wonderfully changed within
the few hours that have succeeded the elec
tion. During the momentous day they
seemed to treat the matter as a good joke,
rallied or condoled with each other on their
deprivation, and few, very few, got excited
enough to vent any spleen, openly, at least.
The overwhelming vote for Browulow and
the solid contribution by the blacks have
suddenly staggered them to a consciousness
of the fact that their late slaves are now
indeed their political masters. Retaliation
has commenced in the discharge of negroes
from employment—a very foolish expedient
at the best, and otte that in its complications
may lead to the most direful result. It is the
old expedient of laming one leg to spite the
other. The employer cannot do without the
colored laborer, for it would be a physical
hnpossibility to import the requisite labor
to harvest the present abundant crops of
the State.
An examination of the figures of the elec
tion shows some curious facts. The total
vote polled was about 100,000— divided
between 00,000 whites and 10,000 blacks.
Every white man who voted had to prove
his indisputable loyalty and Unionism
. .
before the certificate of registration was
issued to him. Now 13rownlow's majority
is :10,000. The inference is obvious. Even
supposing that every colored man voted for
n there must have been at least 30,000
Union men, who had been admitted to vote
by his own commissioners of registration,
who voted against him.
Horrible Scenes In the 1 N. lean Cnplt•
A correspondent of the New York Times
rites from the City of Mexico, on the Bth
It., us follows :
To•dny occurred a scene on an out-of-the
way plaza or square, which actually chilled
the blood in our veins. Gen. Santiago Vi•
diturrl, an old, gray-haired Mexican patriot,
who limd sorved for twenty•eight days us
:••;•c• rot ary ot• the Treasury,
was discovered by police at daylight to
day in the house of au American. He was
rudely dragged through the streets to the
city council buildings and condemned to
be shot to death in the back at 12 o'clock, or
in six hours' time. The old soldier, aged
sixty-eight years, never winced. He bowed
his stately form in acquiescence to the doom
so easily pronounced upon him, and asked
only one boon, that be might see his son.
" No, you can see no son, nor can you
speak with any one but officers and sol
diers." Gen. Slaughter (ex-Confederate)
obtained a respite for him of three hours..
At 3 P. M. to-day he was partly led and
partly pushed through the Plaza do Armes,
close by and under the shadow of the Grand
Cathedral, and kicked while his hands
were bound, through the two streets of
Santa Domingo to a small public square of
that same mune, and there, in the corner of
a square made by the angles of the ruins of
an old convent, they blindfolded him, and
placing hint in such a position that his
corpse would fall in scavenger's otrals, they
turned his back to the troops and to the
people, and literally tore the chest of the
giant soldier of Nueva Leon into a sieve.
Not satisfied witn his death, the sergeant of
the guard loaded a musket, placed it to his
forehead, fired his piece, and none among
the living could have recognized the brave
old Viduarri, of Nueva Leon, in the horri
bly mangled body lying there.
There are in prison in the old Convent of
Incarnacion in Calle Cordobanes, two hun
dred of the notables of the 250 of thosewbo
constituted the Assembly of Notables of
1563. There we go daily to see the wealth,
the learning. the wisdom and intelligence
of the land, for out of that convent prison
there are not in all Mexico the equals in
any respect of these 200 notables. They are
doomed men, no doubt, unless foreign aid
comes to their rescue. Their property is
being confiscated as fast as possible.
James Wright, an American, was in pris
on for having concealed General Vidaurri.
Distressing Accident.—A Man Impaled
Alive.
A young man named Strawhacker came
to his death in Phillipsburg on Saturday
last in a most distressing manner. He had
been throwing some hay into the mow of a
barn near his residence and had ascended
into the mow for the purpose of arranging
the hay. Finishing the work he threw the
fork with which he had been working to
the floor beneath, and not doubting but
that it was lying flat upon the floor jumped
after it. By some unforeseen and most un
accountable chance it had struck with the
handle towards the floor and the prongs
pointing upward, and thus bad lodged. As
ho fell he struck the fork, both tines of
which entered his abdomen and most fear
fully lacerated him both internally and ex
ternally. Be was immediately discovered
and removed to his house, where, despite
the moat skillful medical attendance, in a
few hours be died, leaving his sorrowing
wife and weeping babe to mourn his un
timely end.
Death of a Priest
Rev. F. J. Lenihan, a distinguished Cath
olic clergyman of the diocese of Hartford,
Conn., died last week. The de&ased was
educated at Frederick, Md., and at Ford
ham, N. Y., from which he was ordained in
1859, by the Right Rev. Dr. McFarland.
Gifted with a genius of no mean order, his
poetical contributions attained a wide cir
culation, and, had he lived, he would un
doubtedly have made considerable reputa
tion as a poet. Among his miscellaneous
writings may be mentioned an Indian
Catholic tale, written in the style of Hia
watha, which received the commendation
of Mr. William C. Bryant. Mr. Lellihan
was but thirty-three years of neat the time
of his death,-2f. Y. World.
NUMBER 32
Raplasion of a Well
In St. Louis, on Saturday evening, Mr.
Charles Senneweld, a carpenter, was severe
ly burned in the face and head by the ex-
Plosion of a well over which he was leaning
et the time. The well is on Mr. Senne
weld's premises, and for some time there
had been a misunderstanding bdtween him
self and a neighbor about the right of the
latter to use the well. Within a few days
the water of the well had become bad from
a film of coal oil thrown into it, as is sup
posed, by some malicious person. On Sat
urday evening Mr. S. concluded to ascer
tain whether there was really coal oil in the
well, and, lighting some shavings, he threw
them into the well, leaning over it and
looking down to observe the effect. A tre
mendous explosion was the result, and a
sheet of flame was thrown up, and also
fragments of stone. The dame struck Mr.
Senneweld in the face, burning him quite
severely and singing his hair and whiskers.
His face was black from the burning, and
it is fortunate for him that his eyesight was
not destroyed.
Death of the Oldest Ludy In Harrisburg
We regret to be called upon to-day to
record the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Egle the
oldest lady in Harrisburg, and who had
reached the ripe old age of nthety•four.
Mrs. Egle—whose maiden name was
Elizabeth Thomas—was born in sight of
Harrisburg, and during her long and
eventful life was highly esteemed by all
who knew her. The subject of this notice
was an eye-witness of many interesting
scenes,
not only in frontier life, at a period
when the Indian was occasionally to be
in his old hunting grounds, but during that
struggle for the life of the nation—the
Revolutionary war. She saw and was ac
quainted with many of the „officers of the
army, during her frequent visits to Phila
delphia with her father, who assisted in
supplying our troops with grain. She was
also among the number who had the honor
of meeting George Washington while Presi
dent, and during the famous Whisky in
surrection. Mother Egle could refer to
scones and relate incidents of her eventful
life such as few persons experienced, and
it was a pleasure to listen to her interesting
recital of matters that crane under her ob
servation in "the times that triedynien's
souls."—Harrisburg Telegraph.
