A number of stories are going the ronnds of
the press, ab* Johnny Steele.which. we learn
from the best authority, are_ incorrect.
Among these is the statement that he secured
$150,000 frOm Mrs. 'MoClinTock's safe, after
her death.`, l The largest sum he could possibly
have obtained was from $30,09 'to $40,000.
Another false story is to the effect that "Hon.
John Morrissey went through him nt faro to
the amount of $lOO,OOO in tw,) sights:' He
never lost any-money by Morrissey. or if he
did it was in small rums. The daily income
of Steele I given at $2,000, which is far
above-the actual sum. his farm syielded him
about $O . OOO monthly, for a time, but during
the last vearthe sum has not been more than
half these figures. These f+cts we learn from
one who is intimately ncquainted with Steele's
affiirA. and who would not tell us whet was
not the truth. S'eele's wealth. like that of

THE EFFECT CF A Dnesm.—The five lending
journals of Parie contain long and circumetan
tial accounts: of a distinguished engineer
whose head was turned perfectly white by a
most frightful dreami. The engineer bad via..
ited a rough and unfrequented mineral region
for the purpose of exploring and reporting to
a company of Capitalists upon the richnessof a
certain mine. The night of his arrival.' and
before he descended into the mine, be. lodged
at a small inn, and' after eating a pound or
two of pork, wear' to bed. He dreamed that
be had visitid the mine and was being drawn
up, when ha discovered the rope almost sev
ered, and there was but a single strand to
supp , rt his weight and that of the bucket• in
which he was being drawn up. Suddenly ;
when hotted ascended two hundred feet, the
rope, he dreabied, gave way, and be uttered a
fearful shriek, which sr used the inmates of..
the house, and when . they burst open the door'
of the dreamer's - riom they found a white
headed man in the place of the black haired
young gentleman who bad retired a few hours
before. The story is well authenticated, and
this is ..he brat instanoronyecord of a man's

who bad left her eight or ten years ego; and
during all that long time she haeheard noth
ing from him. The lady was taktng the step
with reluctance, but it was necessary le trans
fer some land. -The case of desertion' seemed
so strong that little difficulty was -met in
prOcuring the divorce, and the lady made the
transfer . . On The evening of the same day the
attorney was in Miles' barber shop, -when the .
lady in question . entered, accompanied by a
gentleman. She uttered an exclamation of
surprise as she-met the gale of the attorney,
and taking a seat by his side said to him:::
..Do you know that gentleman who came in
with met" "No," replied the Attorney.
"Well, it's my husband. Ile came up to-day
on the boat, and we' shall be married again '
this evening." The attorney suggested the•
propriety of his being proipent at the wedd.ng,
but while the•lndy was willing ho ehnuld wit

Since his return from Mexico he bag been
addicted to intemperance, at times given to
beastly d unkruneas. Uod r such conduct
he long ogcr sacrificed his legal patronage and

now, we : are and to say it, he in almost- hope
lessly a vagrant. and the other day was sen
tenced to t•iz months in the city prison, as the

"A monument, costing Mop°, has just'
been erected'at Mount Auburn Cemetery. in,
Boston, in honor of the late Wm. F. Hamden,.
founder of the express business in the United

means being limited, at tN suggestion of
friends, be began to travel be ween Boston' .
and New York, taking charge small parcels
and transacting any busines entritsfed to
him. Thus started ,the express iinsiness.
Harnden died young, but lived to see "Harn
deres Express" extended over the entire
.country with a European branch. He left
his widow rich, and after his death she sold
her interests in the express fir $lOO,OOO,
Thus, by the failing health of an obscure clerk,
was originated what may nog- be called an
institution which has wrought alt important

CoLORED CrrIZIMSHIP.—Our people are
people of extremes. They no sooner' con
clude that they are done wtth one folly or ex
travagance than they are ready to engage in
another. We have been rejoiced with the
abolition of slaviry, that,mitterable blot, upon
the country's existence and foul stain upon the
national character. but aro surprised to no
tice the earnestness with which "the claims"
of the negro upon our generosity is urged
ur on the people by a large proportion of the
leading papers of the Country. Can it be
that it is desired to have the colored race
supersede the white in all the privileges
and emoluments of intelligent, progressive so
ciety ? Can it be that he would be taken from
his positing of ignorance and inferiority and
elevated to the superior positions among the
people, to dictate to and rule over the
whites? It is possible that this may be the
desire of those who are so solicitous concern
ing his welfare. This isa question, whiCh dis
agreeable a• it may seem, is forcing ittelfupon
nor people for solution. In fact it is already
upon us. Toe question is agitating our
State Legislatures, who are asked to extend
the elective franchise to all classes of persons.
without dis , inct ion of race, color or national
ity; and the adherents of the cause claim for
the colored race—to which has just now been
extenclad boon of ooticoolslo oohs.. obootrrar
the expense of the life of the nation—Teel
lions and. privileges which the whites of
this country have not been able to obtain ex
cept by life-long, exertion with the cost of
appliontion. We regard the movement ISS one
ofluablime imptidence, and shall raise our
voice against it. •
We do nokquertion but what time would pave
the way for this result ultimately, so far u It
is consistent with goo I manners et least. The
events of the age are giving new impulse and
wider scope to popular ideas, and reform will
be the fruit of the existing tendency of things.
But it should be given time. It should be
brought forwarti as the p , eilion and responsi
bility of the white class is brought, forward,
by the necessary amount' of cultivation and
lobar. There can be no. question about the
impropriety of the sudden elevation of such
a great body of ignorant, untutored. almost
barbaric pardons to the rights of citizenship
and claims upon society for which they have
not earned. It will endanger, if not the act
ual existence of our free institutions, at least
their tranquil operation, and we do not un
derstand bow men can be actgoted to push
the matter to extremes. It is a question of
the highest importance. and may yet trouble
us more then the rebellion now raging in the
South, if prudence is not observed in its man
agement.

great lever in the extension o! a business, in
these go-ahead times, is advertising; but the
immense popularity of that celebrated remedy
for Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Nervous De
bility, &c., Hooflatid's German Bitters, is not
so much owing to the fact that it has been ex
tensively advertised, as it is to the great merit,.
of the article. A worthless medicine may,'
through publicity, acquire a short-lived no-I
tortety, but it requires the basis of true merit,
in order to sustain itself for any considerable
length of time. lioefland's German Bitters
