The planter, hkd a Urga family, among whom was a daughter who posses . sed iu a remarkable degree that rare ' type of beauty for which the women of ths South ars noted. She had imbibed the entitnni of her father, aud therefore, took great pleasure in en tertaiuing the officers who frequently visited ths house. The First Lieutenant of the company, Am brose Black, at once couceived a warm attach- ment lor the bcauului young rreoieJ and-ea . . !' a 1 a deavbrcd in every way to induce her io sharohis feelings. otrange t say, however, the lady treated him iu a pecularly polite but formal man ner, that proved her heart was ice toward him. This was a great shock to his vanity, and ht was at a lohs to uuderstaud it. Finally the ex planatiun came, when one of his cojmpanions, playfully rallying him upon his ill success, stated that bS hid discovered why the lady, refused to smile upon him. lie had accidcotallyj witnessed an interview betweeu herself and private Alfred Blake, the soldier who had been detailed to guard the house -an interview which proved cooclu. sively that the heart of the young tjreole was irrevocably the private's aud not the officer's. This intelligence was too much for Lieutenant Black. His pride was wounded in its most vital poiut. lie had been forestalled where, bis heart was moat enlisted, and by one of his own sub ordiuates. Seeking private Blake at ones, bs. poured out the vials of his wrath upon him, tauuted him with his position, and declared ha would send him where he should have no more opportunities of dallying with a shameless girl while on duty. Alfred Blake, had borne much, but this coarse allusion to the woman be loved better than life fired heart and brain, and with one blow he struck his officer prostrau upon tha ground in the presence of his company. , Then followed the trial' which was, rendered inexpressibly touching by the presenoe of tha woman who had dared to love a private Soldier the sentence-of death, to be preceded by im pri.-oumeut at Ship Island. - . I' J o-day the sentence is to be enforced snd the majeaty ol the law sustained Optical Delusion. The New York Herald of Wednesday, ssys : A young Irish womuti, not of prepossessing ap pearaucc, met on the Jersey boat I yesterday afternoon a young man, whom' she ty aimed as her long lost husband. As this young man, whose name was Wm. Smith, had never been married, he had a nervous dread of is woman, and when he found he was claimed, jbody and soul, by a lady, with a face on one aids and an upper range of prominent teeth, he remembered he had a friend in the engine room of tha boat' whom he had not si en lately, and to the recess . thereof he very speedily dived. This did not baffle or take off the scent of the female preten der. When" he left the ferry-bouse (he girl hs had left behind him was there to greet him. found that to conviuce a woman against her will was more than he was equal to. All that he could say, either in the way of chaff) or sober, earnest talk, left her of the same opinion still. As they created a disturbance in the streets, snd the woman's pertinacity only increased instead of diminished, the officer oo post was t il i ird li bring the pair before Justice ilogan at the Tonibi Police (Jjurt. .'j . At the time of their arrival the Justice was engaged with a case in the Examination llnem, and .Mr Charles Wall, the chief clerk, with characteristic chivalry towards the fair sex, took the pair and the policeman into the j sergeant's room of the court. There (he young woman vaf asked if her husband had any private marks ap on him by which he could be. identified, aud sh replied tl.at on his arm she remfcinbered seeing a "stTatch or "blister.' Upon hearing this Mr . Smith pulled off his coat, bared his drms, anL eridently enjoying the novelty of ha position, stretched them out as witnesses that he was not tlTe lawful rib of the deceived damsel before him. "You're the tnau though V exclaimed Mri." Simpson. Ya married me about two years ago. and left me three weeks after we were roar; ried. I am sure you're (be man. f By (his time tlie Justice had asenmcd tha judicial chair. Mrs Simpson, told her story. Mr Smith said he was never married in his life. gave his name and address, aud the, history of his life, and with evident truthfulness. .This only increased the lady's positivenets, snd aba gave an address in Front street where tbej ' boarded at the time they were married. Justice Hogan6! think yon'ra I mistaken, madam: but if you will go with the policeman and the man to theboarding-hottso. perhaps they will identify him, and you can comet back an4 givd me the result. 1 In about half an hour they returned. Mr Smith was not known st the boarding-hotia,and coald not be recognized as the pent'etnaa who married this opinionated lady..- Mr Smith was released, bnt Mrs. Simpson went sasyeonfinfed that she had been defrauded by the Jostic ou ' of a lawful husbands - f t A married gentletnao, every tima ha met tha . father of his wife, complained t bim of tha urlf . temper and disposition of his daughter.
