Do you think Tin going to let such a looking woman as you dress np in Bloomers and mount a high hat and go around trying to show OH that figure —” “Mr. Wilkins!” “Go straggling around the thoroughfares of this town, looking like an old beer-cask propped up on two lege, and showing those ankles which are 60 thick that you couldn't get one of them through the equator?” “Wilkins, I’ll scratch ” “Well, 1 should think not. And, besides, I don’t know whereabouts on this terrestrial globe yon expect to find any wheels strong enongh to bear yon. Ton'd smash a pair of cast-iron car wheels 1b to smithereens the minute yon sat down on them, yon would. The Best, thing yon can do is to walk, and on the ground, too, where the crust of the earth Isn't thin; or else sit In front of a fimandmclt down yonr avoirdupois.” “Mr. Wilkins you're perfectly scandalous." “Bnt I'm not going to pnt up with 1L I don't luitnd to have yon hopping around town on a velocipede, and very likely fulling off and break ing yonr bones, aDd then have a lot of doctors coming to my bouse and making post mortem cr ji ii.illations, and sawing yon up, and discovering things with hard Latin names in yonr lungs and > our liver, and yonr physique generally.

But as for the mother of a family and a flabby oid girl of :■ our years undertaking to ride a velocipede, » liv it's simply ridiculous.” “Mr. Wilkins, I—" “The next thing I know, 1 suppose you will be parading vonrself in the papers as ‘Madame Wilkins, the Champion Female Velocipedist,’ and running mile neats on the Nicholson pave ment lor bnndred-dollar parses, bsat two out of itirce.

I'm not proud of you; I want you distinctly to understand that.” “Mr. Wilkins, that's all nonsense.” “And a pretty example you are setting to yonr children. Here only yesterday Holofernee Mont gomery made a velocipede out of two flour barrel ode, and when he and Bucephalus Alexander 'ritd to mount it it broke down and hit Mary June on the leg and lamed her for life, while Holofcrnes Montgomery fell over on tbe cat, wbicb yowled and spitted around and scratched Uoloferccs Montgomery over tbe frontispiece, so that his beauty is entirely destroyed, and he looks more like you than ever. I say it’s perfectly out rageous, and I’m not going to stand it.” “Mr. Wilkins! O if you'll listen I’ll tell yon something." “Ob! I don't want to hear it. We’ll discon tinue the conversation.

The Memphis Post of the 27th says: We ore informed by a reliable party, who con versed with a passenger that came down from (olambus, Kentucky, to Humboldt, on the Thursday eveniDg’s passenger train of the Mobile ,nd Ohio Boad, that tho train referred to was precipitated from a bridgo or trestle work span ning a small creek, into tho ravine, jaet above dnmboldt. The distance down which the train was thrown was abont sixteen feet. The engine -terns to have been moving at a slackened speed, ,nd to have nearly crossed the bridge before it ian off the track and fell from the bridge, <fe the cire Eeem to have fallen in order from tho bridge, end not smashed on top of each other. All of the passengers were more or less harmed by the catastrophe, and some were seriously in jured, and one man, either the fireman or engi neer, was instantly killed. The accident was oc casioned. it is believed, by some of the employes of the road, who have been discharged without being paid, and who, for revenge, maliciously loie np one of the rails over the brdge. A Legislature on a Frolic. Tho Chicago Journal of Satnrday contains the following account of humorous procecdlugs In the Illinois Legislature: Bills were as follows : By Mr. Childs, to prevent tho sale cf adulter ated liquors and to pnnish the same. By Mr. Cook, of Lake, to incorporate the Far mers’ Elevator Company and to cede the city of Chicago to the States of Indiana and Wisconsin. Mr. Smith, of McLean, offered a substitute, ex cepting the Fifty-ninth District. Mr. Reynolds announced that ho had just re ceived a telegram from his colleagues in Chicago, protesting against action In their absence. They preferred to remain “Snckers.” Judge Whiting hoped that permission would bo given the gentlemen to move into the State of Amidst roars of laughter, tho bill was read a third time and passed—ayes, 70; noes, 9. The absentees were all answered for. Mr. Cook, of Lake, offered n bill Incorporating CbarlCß Vorls, of Shelby, and William Smith, of McLean, as tbo Illinois Elevator Company, whose powers are fully defined, in section two, as fol lows: “T® elevate the shirt-collar of the gontie man from Pike." b The reading of the bill elicited roars of laughter. Mr. Merritt offered a bill vesting “'the polltlosl and social power of the State and the fireside In the female women of Illinois." The provisions of the bill were exceeding ludicrous, and the reading produced much merriment which was greatly heightened by the unique rulings of Mr. Vorls, of Shelby, who occupied the chair. • ■ Adjourned (111 Monday at 11 o'clock PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1869. EUROPEAN AFFAIRS a&atß, Xlie Papal Bn><set, This year tbe Vatican is more 'than usually troubled at the aspect of (be 'Pontifical budget. Tbe maximum receipts are stated at twenty-eight millions of Pontifical llvres, while the expendi ture is nearly six millions in excess, which, for fuck a microscopic State as tho Papacy, is a very eerious deficit. The additional outlay is censed by the increase of the forces and the new urmaments; and tbe authorities look to the (Eea mcnical Council as their only resource for restor ing an eqnllibrinm. z Tbe Consistory. It is now decided, we bran that the Pbpo shall inform the Cardinals in the Consistory ol March of the result .of the negotiations at Berlin and the steps he proposes to take in consequence:, The announcement will be followed by tbe appoint ment of an apostolic dolegate to the Prussian i onrt, with Jurisdiction over the whole of North Germany, and by a reorganization of;the German vicariates, preparatory to the expansion, at a later period, of the delegation into a nunciature. In the interim the Court of Borne will gradually transfer the Papal support from the Catholic Hapeburgs to the Protestant Hooeuzol u ms. There are, indeed, hopes at the Vatican <bat tho King of Prussia will come into the true told, and receive from the Pope’s hand in the basilica of 8L Peter’s tbe imperial crown of Ger many. It is always tho dream at Borne that tbe world is marching backward, and tbe wants of tbe age are supposed to be met by reviving what is forever past. SPAIN. Female Demonstration in gpaia. Tbe Madrid correspondent of the Times at taches a good deal of Importance to a document which waa presented by three ladies of rank—the Marchionesses of Santiago, of Zagaatl, and of I’orlugolete—to Marshal Serrano as head of the Provisional Government. The ladies named came as a deputation of their countrywomen, std laid on the President's table a document bearing fit teen thousand female signatures. Tne paper contained, not a petition, out a remonstrance against rdjigions free 'icm 'and religious toleration. It'was a warn ing and a defiance conveyed to the men in power, emindieg them that they werain honor and duty "Otind to maintain the Roman Catholic ana Apostolic faith in all fSintegrity and purity, up ''raiding them for tkh Impious and sacrilegious line of policy that they have hitherto followed, and daring them to persevere in their course-at tbeir peril. That such a proceeding as this -bonld be taken, prores,the Timet correspondent 'hicks, that the reactionary party in Spain has been enormously strengthened by tbe dilatory policy of the Provisional Government A country in which, in the latter part «f tbe nineteenth century, a document' like this address can appear, in which lfi,<K)o wo men, able to read and write, are willing to sign it and in wbicb even nltra-Bepnblican papers deem themselves boned to reproduce it, is (tbe writer addi) not to be gauged by the standard of other communities. If you listen .to these ladies, Spain iamot ODly a Catholic country—it is the Catbolft: country, the:only one; Borne itself is not so Roman. These ladies “do not come be i ore Serrano to ask for favors or to Implore clcmmcy; ail they demand is justice, all they claim are respect and protection to their rights as women, as Spaniards, as Catholics.” number of Spanish Electors, .... Allhongh the Spanish Minister of the Interior, 1 on bis own authority, struck off 617,391 electors upon no other ground of disqualification than 'heir age, between twenty and twenty-five (tor w bleb, according to the Madrid correspondent ot The Timet , be has been universally censured), 'here ate still 3,619,612 Spaniards, or 1 for every 23 of tbe whole population, and 1 for every 46 of tbe male population, who will have <he right to vote. The Government ire very anxious that all should avail themselves of tbeir privilege, and thereto gage to put down intimidation. How far they will be able todo so is doubtful. In the late municipal elections tbe doora of the polling-booths fre quenlly.were beset by'partisans who bade their dversaries come in if they dared. In more than one locality the knife and the revolver, or the dread of those weapons, may be said to have car ried the day; and one place la mentioned In which ihe president of tbe electoral board laid bis blun derbuss on tbe table—a very palpable hint that be “would stand no nonsense." FBAYIIE, Opening of tbe French Tiiambcrv Tlis Emperor’s Speech. The following Is the text of the speech from ibe throne, delivered on January 18 by the Em peror Napoleon, at the opening of the French Übambers: “Messieurs Its Ssnateurs, Messieurs les Deputes: The speech which I address to you every year at ibe openiDg of the session is the sincere expres - lon of the thoughts which guide my conduct. To explain frankly to the nation, before the areat bodies of the State, the progress of the gov ernment is the doty of the responsible chief of a tree country. The task which we have under • aken together is arduous. It is not, indeed, without difficulty that, on a soil shaken by so many revolutions, a government Is founded sufficiently impressed with the wants ~f the age to adopt all the benefits of liberty, and sufficiently strong to ear even Us excesses. The two laws which you passed during the last Session, and the object of which was the development of the ptinclple of iree discussion, have produced two opposite . fleets, which it may be useful to point out. On i bo one hand, the press and pnblic meetings have created in certain quarters a factious agitation, -uri have caused the reappearance of Ideas and passions which were believed to bo extinguished; but, on the other band, the nation remaining in- M-Dsible to tbe most violent incitement, and rely ing upon my firmness for the maintenance of order, has not felt its faith in tho future shaken. “Reroarkablo coincidence! The more adven turous and subversive minds sought to disturb public tranquillity, so muoh more profound be te the peace of tbe country: commercial trans }ns reaßHumed a fruitful activity, the public rests were reassured, and the greater part of recent elections gave a new support to my ernment. Tbe Army law and the subsidies granted by your patriotism have con tributed to strengthen the confidence of the , ountry, and in tho jnßt consciousness of its pride it experienced a real satisfaction the moment it learnt that It was in a position to confront evory eventuality. Tho laud and sea forces, strongly constituted, are upon a peace footing. The effec tive strength of tbe active army does not exceed that which existed under former systems, but our armameDt rendered perfect, our arsenals and our magazines filled, our reserves well trained, tbe National Garde Mobile in course of organiza tion, our fleet reconstructed, and our strongholds In good condition, give to our power a develop ment which was indispensable. “Tho constant object of my efforts Is attained, and the military resources of France are hence forward on a level with Its destiny in tho world. Ih this position we can loudly proclaim our de tire to maintaln'peaco. There Is no weakness in our saying so when we are ready to defend .tho honor and the independence of our country. "Our relations with foreign Powors are moat friendly. " The Revolution which has broken out bojona the Pyrenees has not filtered our good re lations with SpalD, and the Conference, to slide a threatening conflict in the EasVis a great act of which we should appreciate the importance. This CObferenco approaches its termination, and all the Plenipotentiaries have agreed upon the principles calculated to bring about a rcconelUa tlon between Greece and Turkey. If; therefore, as I firmly hope,' nothing shall-arise' to disturb general harmony, It will bo our fortune to re alize many projected improvements, and we shat OUR WHOLE COUNTRY". endeavor to solve all the practical 'questSon* raked by agriottUni*!’investigations. “Public works have been sufficiently endowed; parochial roads ate being constructed. Educa tion of all classes continues to tie successfully dc* veloped, and, thanks to the periodical Increase of tho re venae,'we shall soon be able to devote all our sdlicitndei to the dimiuation'of public har dens. The moment is drawing high when,' for (be’third time since the establishment of the Km-- plre.Tbe Legislative Body will be constituted afresh, by a general election,.and each timo lt will have attorned the' limit of Its legal dnratlon —a-thing hitherto, unknown.' This regularity is due'to the 1 harmony which'has always existed between us, and to- the confidence which I feel in tbe sincere exercise of universal suffrage. The popular masses are stanch in their faith ias in their affections,-and if nobie'passions are able to rottSb them: Sophism and calumny scarce ruffle the'snrfaoe. Sustained by yonr approbation and yonr concurrence, I am thoroughly resolved to persevere in the course which I have laid down— that is to say, to adopt all real progress,, but also to maintain,without dlscussion.the essential basis of tbo Constitution which, the national vote has placed under shclterfrom all attacks: ‘A ; good , tree is' -known ,by the fruit it beam,’ says the Gospel. “•Well, if we cast q'glanee at tho past, which is the Government that has given to France 17 years, of ever-jpcieasing quiet and prosperity? Certainly, every Government Is liable to error, and fortune does not smile upon all enterprises, but that wbicb constitutes my strength is tbe fact that the nation does not Ignore that'for 20 years I have not had a eingle thought, I have not done a single deed of which themotive was Other than the interest and greatness of France. Nor is it ignorant of tbe circumstance that I'waS the first to desire a rigorous control over the conduct of affairs; that I with this object increased the powers of the deliberative Assemblies, persuaded that the real support of a Government is to be found In tho independence and patriotism of the great bodies of tbeState. This session will add fresh services to these you have already rendered to the country. Beon the nation, called together in its comilia, will' sanc tion the policy which we have pursued. It will once more proclaim by its votes that it does not desire revolution, bnt wishes torest the destinies of France upon the intimate alliance of power with' liberty. A Spanish BlocKade Runner. The Vienna Prase tells the following story of Hcbart;¥asha:i Ho less than twelve times he is said to havgbjfoken tbe blockade of Charleston, each time of great danger. He. In consc/iiiencaJerf this, published his reml- DiseencCß'utraer tneVtiUe of “Never Caught.” Wbfcn thc Turks afeW weeks ago sent him to Crete • in order to destroy the Enosis, the Baesian Minister, General Ignaticff, made, energetic efforts to retain him at Constantinople. Political arguments being un availing, enaction for debt was at last brought 'against him, in tbe hope that be would be im prisoned, or, at all events, detained. Bnt this de vice, too, was frustrated, and he got away safely. Arriving on board bis ship, his first act was to far Warm to the Russian Ambassador, together with a polite message, bis . little work entitled •Never Caught.” - Mach anxiety has been felt in Liverpool in re spect to the foundering of the ship Southern Em pire; which was supposed to have foundered with all on board od the night of the 21st of December. Tbe Soul fit ru Empire, under command of Cap tain 8. Dunlop,-left Now Orleans for Liverpool on tbe lltb of November, with a very valuable cargo, amongst which were 3,695 bales of cotton. On; the- 21st of December the Southern Empire waa fallen in with by the ship Aurora Australis, ,in Ist 44 N. lon. 23 W. There tv is a strong gate blowing at the time, accompanied with a very high sea. Captain Todd, of the Au rora Australis, bore down towards the ship, and shortened sail Daring the night a fearful gale sprang up from the west, and the Aurora Aus tralia labored tremendously, toe enormous seas breaking over tbe vessel continually, and the pomps, continually working. At 8 o’clock the next morning nothing could be seen of the Southern Empire, and Captain Todd came to the conclusion tnatehe most have gone down during the night, with all on board. Ou Satur day last, however, a telegram was received in Liverpool from Cardiff, stating that Captain Dunlop and one-half of the crew of tbe Southern Empire had reached that port, and that the re mainder, with 'the exception of' one man, who bad been drowned, were on board the Dutch bark Hermanio, and would no donbt be landed at Madeira. Wo beg onr respectable cotomporaries to save a little of the horror with which they are struck In making haste to record every doubtfal story of Arkansas outrages until they have tally con sidered and digested the awful tragedy acted in their own connty of Shelby—by men known in Memphis as well as in their own neighborhood. Wadi Henly, the colored man who took Susan Jones, a white girl, from home, at her own re quest, and, as he says, under her pay, was taken trom the young men who had caught him, by twenty-five fiendß dressed as Ku Klnx. They cat off his ears and otherwise mutilated him. They tied a rope around hia neck, suspended him a few inches above the ground, covered his body with turpentine, and set It on fire. They allowed this to burn until the rope was severed, and life not being yet extinct, he started to run to a stream near by, when they fired upon him and pierced him with seven balls. They then ripped him open with their knives, slashed and gashed him all over, and left him lying un buried. We blush for ourrrace when we have to ac knowledge that no recorded crimes of the col ored race eaual in atrocity this work of devils near Bartlett. The Ledger says “the Ku Klux are the only conservators of the peace.” And this Is one of their methods ot doing ltl [From the Nashville Press and.Timer.] On Saturday last, one week ago,a party of men went to the plantation of E. N. Cullom, one mile above Monroe, in Overton connty, bnrst open tbe door Of one of the out-buildlngs, occupied by ne groes, firing npon the inmates. The first Intima tion the occupants hod of their nresence was the firing. A colored man named Goylon Copeland was lying before tho fire on tho floor, He was shot and mortally wounded, but returned the fire, mortally wounding one of the assassins, W. C. Cusb, a young man of considerable means, a citi zen of Livingston, and, according to his own say so, a strong opponent of the Ku- Klux. Cush foil and the balance of the party entered the cabin and literally shot Copeland to pieces, and then with knives disemboweled him. Cush was carried by his comrades to E. J. French’s, one mile from tho scene of the tragedy. On the next night he was carried to Livingston by Radicals, where he was lying at last accounts. He cannot recover. On Friday last there were two hundred Ku Klux in Livingston, disarming Union men, and rnllug things generally to suit thomaolvos. Tho Memphis Pest of Wednesday says: "It will bo remembered that the Analanche some time since, in a lengthy editorial, brought out Andrew .Johnson ob tho Conservative candi date for Governor.
