had a communication to make, as a caution to in

notwithstanding his accounts were all correct at the
time of resignation, he had, in fact been using the
Bills Keccivjible of the Batik for years as collateral

alism had otablished the fact that when man dies
he passes to another state of existence; and, also,
that there is a great diversity in the experience of
different spirits in the passage. Mr. Edmonds sta
ted several cases to illustrate his position, among
which were the following : A spirit once came to
speater who had awakened in a place of utter
dcsolution and solitude, and had remained there
for months. Having been taught that the condi
tion in which the soul finds itself after death is
eternal, he labored under the painful belief that he

came to him and commenced upbraiding
nun iui
not observing the first day of the week in stricter
manner; and he ascertained that this spirit had
been in the other world some time, and" Was-oaly5
conscious of existence on Sunday. During the- re
maining six days of the week he remained in a
state of ii n consciousness. A young lady died of
heart disease in a ball room iu London, and was
unconscious for three weeks." She came to him
and began to talk to him as though she were in
the green room, tor which she started when at
tacked. In the course of his lecture, he also gave
several other instances illustrative of this theory,
and drew the conclusion that those whose lives are
passed in the pursuit of good and noble objects
those who love truth and labor to disseminate
knowledge and the spirit of chaiity, experience but
a brief period of unconsciousness; while those sor
did and groveling men. whose aims are selfish and
whose hearts are closed to charity, are often un
conscious for months.
Wants to Come Back. In the police court
of Cincinnati, recently, a negro named John Stew
art was arraigned on a charge of stealing clothing.
He said he was guilty, out of funds, friends, and
food, and had taken this course to procure the ne
cessaries of life. He stated in court that a short
time since he was a slave in Raleigh, N. C, and
was pursuaded to purchase his freedom through
false allurements held out to him, to remove to
Ohio. He did so, paying 900 to his master, and
here is what he thinks of Ohio: "Since I came
here I have been kicked about and abused by all
classes of men. Can't get work from no one, and
to borrow money to get bread with, that is out of
the question. 1 did a great deal better there than
I ever did here." lie was sentenced to thechain--anf
at hard labor for one month, and pavthe cost
of prosecution.

Direct Importation of Sugar. It will be
noticed by reference to advertisement of Messrs.
Ilarriss & Howell, that these gentlemen have now
on the way, from Havana, a cargo of Muscovado
Su-ar, of good quality, selected especially for this
market, which they will dispose of on accommodating
terms.
We feel sure our up-country friends can be
supplied with this staple article of consumption on
i as good terms and as cheap from Wilmington,
; when this vessel arrives, as from any other town
I or city in the North or South.
! This Sugar will be here iu little over a week,
or at least is expected here then, weather permitting.

ANCIENT DEMOCRATS.
Parson Rrownlow, of the Whig, in some rather
profane remarks relative to the politics of the early
, Christians, says '-Judas was a uemocranc preacner,
and the Sub-I reasurer of
the Church, lie took
rtfl nut of the same dish with the Saviour hunted
; him up in the niyht to kiss bim. He was an
affectionate, as well as a night-walking Democrat."

A STARTLING SURPRISE-
A curious circumstance has come to our knowl-

sometime since settled in Bockford; shortly after
their arrival they made, among others, the acquain
tance of a young and beautiful widow, who had the
reputation of being a great flirt. The gentleman,
up to this time, hail been a moat devoted husband,
and though there seemed to be a mutual attiaction
between himself and the gay widow whenever they
met, the wife confident ot his affection, suspected
nothing. Matters progressed, how rapidly she did
not know, until the beginning of this week, when
husband, wife and widow were invited to tea at the
. i . j .
house of a friend. It was an agreeable social par-

tonishment when their low tones became fully au
dible to her strained ears to find that they were
arranging the preliminaries of an elopement, to take
place that very night! Matters were to bear
ranged so that "the wife would be sent home early
in the evening, while the husband, in the most
natural mariner in the world, would offer to drivo
home the beautiful widow. 1 nstead of going home,
however, they were to go immediately to the oars,
and leave on the eleven o'clock train.
The discovery was so unexpected and the shock
so great that the poor wife almost fainted. She
was determined, however, not to betray her knowl
edge of the guilty scheme until the proper time
came, and recovering herself, glided from the fatal
seat, and tried to etitcranto conversation as usual.
Of course she was not greatly surprised when her
husband soon after affectionately advised her to go
home with Mr. and .Mrs. , who were going
their way, as he himself had to go to his office
shortly, 'and might be detained till late. She made
no objection, but putting on her bonnet and bid
ding adieu to her entertainers started for home, to
the great relief of the guilty couple, who had feared
some trouble in getting rid of her. Immediately
on arriving at home, the wife proceeded to pack a
carpet bag with a pile of shirts, and other necessa
ries, and started on foot for the house where her
husband still remained. She hid herself in the
shadow of the trees, and waited, but not long.
Soon her husband and the widow exchanged good
night with their hostess, the latter remarking, in
a lively tone, that she would "certainly tell hia
wife." They seated themselves comfortably in th
vehicle, when the wife without bonnet or shawl,
suddenly walked to the side of the carriage and
said quietly, at the same time holding up the car
pet bag:
"D., don't go without your shirts, the mercy
knows when you will get any more."
The blank astonishment of the two may be im
agined. The simple words, however, produced the
most complete reaction in the feelings of the faith
less husband. He looked iu the pale face of his
wife, and met her clear gaze, and saw that she
knew all. He said : "M., we must lake Mrs.
home, and then I will tell you how it happened."
They did take Mrs. home, and left her thero.
The husband and wife seem affectionate and devo
ted as ever ; but the widow is dissatisfied with so
ciety at the West, and thinks of going East this
fall.
POST OFFICE CONTRIBUTIONS.
The plan to raise funds for the completion of tho
Washington National Monument, through the me
dium of the Post Offices throughout the United
States, bids fair to prove successful. Several hun
dred postmasters have already notified Lieut. Ives,
the engineer in charge, that they have placed box
es within their offices for the reception of contribu
tions, and it is believed that a very large propor
tion of the whole will co-operate in the project.
From some offices returns for the first month
have already been received. The town of Lynn,
Massachusetts, stands at the head of the list, hav
ing contributed 840. Wheeling, Virginia, sent
818; Washington 817; Baltimore and Portsmouth,
Virginia, 815 each; New York, New Haven, Char
leston, Petersburg, Virginia, Montgomery, Alaba
ma, Windsor, North Carolina, and Fott Smith,
Arkansas, each about 810; Newport, Rhode Isl
and, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, Augusta, Lagrange
and Macon, Georgia, Fredericksburg, Virginia,
Hernando, Mississippi, and Tulip, Arkansas, from
85 to 88 each. Returns from about one hundred
other towns ranjo from 85 to 5 cents. If each
i community where there is a post office would, cvo
ry month, contribute even the Utter sum, a fund
i would accrue to the Mouument of over 815,000
! per j'ear.
All of the letters containing remittances arc put
1 on record, and, at stated intervals, the amount re
ceived, and the names of places by which they were
contributed are to be published, in the principal
j papers of each State.
