One of the most atro cious robberies that we have heard of was com mitted in our city on Thursday, says the Wash ington Union of Friday. Miss McNeil, daugh ter of Gen. John McNeil, deceased, and a niece rf President Pierce, was met in one of the pub lic streets by a rti.iian, knocked down and robb ed of her purse, containing about thirty dollars, certificates of stocks amounting to about two thousand dollars, and a valuable diamond pin. The blow was so severe that she was rendered insensible, and whilst in this condition was robbed. We understand that she was much injured but are glad that her injury is not dan gerous. This bold robbery took place about o o'clock, P. M., in one of the public streets, and the robber succeeded in making his escape. IIai'e, Mii:iek and Hanging. A man by the name of Mitchell, who was living near the edge of Ashe County, North Carolina, went to Grayson Court House, on Monday last to hear Philip S.

He has since been taken up, confessed the hellish deed, and has been lodged in jail at Grayson Court House, lie port says he was whipped and then hung. We give the above unwelcome news as we received it from a friend of ours, and suppose it to be correct. WythecUle Uepullican. The number of blind persons in Japan is said to be enormous.

In 1 849, it will be recollected, a "spike team" of Whig candidates started out on a race for Congressional honors, viz : Dockery, Ingram and Little. To reconcile divisions it became necessary to hold a Convention, against which the General demurred. The following editorial is from the Charlotte Journal (now Charlotte Whig) of that time, and shows the estimate Whigs then set on the General s "firmness of purpose." "We stated last week that all the Whig can didates expressed a willingness to be governed by a District Convention, reflecting any thing like a fair expression of the wishes of the Dis trict; but now we understand Gen. Dockery has asme out decidedly against submitting to the action of a Convention. JUST WHAT WE EX PECTED AND EXPRESSED to SOME FRIEND. Nothing will induce him to leave the field but a general uprising of the people from one end of the District to the other. We understand that he now charges Mr Little with leing brought out by midnight caucuses in Stanly and Anson counties. New light, we sup pose, has broken upon the vision of the General since last week, as he said nothing about any such caucuses at Concord. It is evident, how ever, that the General has determined to run whether it is the wishes of the Whigs or not, and it therefore becomes their duty to frown on any one who thus wilfully attempts to distract the party. He objected to being charged with ftAsting himself upon the District. Rut how scaks his conduct? Does he not say, as plain as actions can speak, that the Whigs must take him or run the risk of electing a Democrat? Is there any patriotism in this? If there is we would like to know in what it consists. We hojc the Whigs of this District will teach Gen. Dockery such a lesson that it will be remember ed by all future aspirants. Let a District Con vention be held a nominee be made, and then let every Whig unite on him to a man." Pretty plain talk that. Rut the General wrote a letter, we think to a Concord meetinc. We have not this letter entire, and will thank any friend for a copy of it. The following extract from it we find in an old Lincoln Republican. He says Conventions "as generally gotten up" are "neither more nor less than a gross usurpa tion of power which, among other acts, is exer cised by adroit managers, who knowing the just prejudice with which the people view Conven tions, and the impracticability of getting them up whilst but one candidate is before the people, induce by their influence others to take the field, for the sole purpose of forcing the people to consent to place in their hands a convention, which they very generally use to accomplish their original design of driving a former candi date from the field." Rut the General's "firmness of purpose" had to give way at last. A Convention threw all three of the aspirants overboard and nominated Mr Debcrry, who, owing to the coldness of the strong friends of the three rejected candidates, fell near 2000 votes behind his party strength, and was elected by about 600 majority. In the next heat Gen. Dockery went through, his party, we presume, not being willing to eneoun ter his hrumess ot purpose a second tune; but the odious federal doctrines he then preach ed threw him about 50 per cent, behind the previous Whig strength of his District Annexation. When Texas was annexed to this country, the Rritish people set a howl over what they were pleased to term the grasping aud vancious policy of the United States; and from that time to the present, they have never ceased their clamor upon this subject. To judge from their remarks, one would suppose that the sole business of the American Union was the ac quisition of territory-; and that Great Rritaiu entertains the greatest repugnance to an enlarge ment of her dominions, lo those who may be inclined to believe these representations, we commend a perusal of the following paragraph from an English print : "The territory of Nagpore, or Rerar, which has just lapsed to the Rritish, is one of the ten states iu India with which subsidiary alliances had been contracted. It has an area of 70,432 square miles, a populatiou of 4,650,000, and a revenue of 4,908,560 rupees. The territory of Nagpore is nearly as large as that ot Hydera bad, and as we have lately sequestrated for debt the greater portion of the Nizam's dominions lying north of the Godavery, we have now possession of two-thirds of the great 'island,' lately shaded green (as independent native ter ritory,) in the centre of the maps of Hindostan. Tiiis green tint is everywhere disappearing be fore the red shade which denotes Rritish domi nation, and every successive map of India affords a fresh illustration of the rapidity of the pro cess." Fast Traveling. "Dick Tinto," the amusing Paris correspondent of the X. Y. Times, in his let ter of January 26, writes as follows : Two remarkable experiments in aerostation have highly astonished this city. Of the first I did not write you, for I supposed it a hoax. Rut it has been repeated since, and an eye wit ness has told me of the wonderful results. A man enveloped in a net-work containing a large number of bladders filled with hydrogen gas, run, two Sundays ago, down the Champs Elysees at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour. His leaps were enormous; the assentional power was not sufficient to carry him np, but it neutralized three-quarters of his weight. Last Sunday he renewed the experiment upon an exterior Roule vanl with a little more gas. He made 40 miles an hour, and' said with a favorable wind he could easilv make 45, and beat any locomotive without fatigue. With the great muscular power possessed by man, it is evident that if he could any way lengthen his legs, as this inven tion iu reality does, he would realize the fable of seven-Leagued Roots. Candler, the most aged clown of the circus, who was present, agreed soon, with a similar apparatus, to jump over the Seine. I understand that a dozen machines, with improvements, are now iu course of fabrication, and that the idea of annihilating space has seized upon more than one adventur ous brain. As to the aeronauts, they all acknow ledge that they may as well burn their balloons. Advertising is conceded to be the most effi cient promoter of business, and live men in thriving places do not fail to avail themselves of its advantages. Scarcely a day passes in which we do not hear persons complaining, that they might have sold property higher, if such and such men had known it was iu the market, and others that they would have given more, if the sale had been announced. On the sale of a house a few days since, there was a loss of $500, to our knowledge, because it was not generally known that it would change hands. A young cow of foreign breed, was sold out of town with in a month, for less than half what she would have brought at home, for the same reason.

The onein of the atlray had some connexion with theQiyversary of St. Patrick. The students became ungovern able and excited the indignation ofertain par lies w no were celebrating the day in iffemory of Ireland's patron saint ; whereupotuaow took place, in which one man, named Patrick O'Xeill, was instantly shot dead. Several otbeij were more or less injured some seriouslye A cannon, fully charged, was plantetfTn front of the College building, which was designed to rake the enemy fore and aft. Finally Sid after much difficulty, by the interference ofL,tbe city authorities and college faculty, the riot was quelled. i " . -. This matter has produced immense excitement, and the whole affair is to undergo Iegafinves tigation. At present the ringleaders were un detected and the exact cause of the affrtfr not fully understood. f A correspondent of the X. Y. Herald, .writing from New Haven, says: J "The Irishmen from some unknown cause have always exhibited ill will towards the stiislents, and have attacked them wherever theyj liave had an opportunity. Last night (Friday) about twenty of the students of Yale wre re turning peaceably from a place of aiisgnenl, and when near the College grounds, "fyat tacked by about one hundred Irisf!lni4vvith brickbats, stones and other missies ; - Is, eral were immediately felled to the ground. Here a regular battle ensued, and was carried on for some time, in which several students and others were seriously injured. One Irishman by iie name of Patrick O'Xeill, was killed, beii stabbed near the heart by some student un known. A stranger boarding at the Xew Haveu Hotel, hearing the noise, started oit to see what was the matter, aud while Iookiii on, a pistol ball grazed his sleeve. The sta, dents secreted in the College.

Thev immediately closed the windows, and barricad ed the doors with planks. In a short time, about five hundred persons advanced with two cannons, loaded with grape shot. They threat ened to fire on the College, if the student by whose hands O'Neill received his deathblow was not forthcoming. This threat th.v preyented from executing by the arrival of the poi.ee, wuo spiKeu tiie camions. There is no doubt if they had been permitted to execute their purpose, serious results would have ensu, as a large portion oi tiie students were armed with pistols. There was great commotion in the streets all night; the bells were all ringing, and certainly the most exciting time in the streets of New Haven for some time. It is nt known by whom O'Neill was killed ; it is nit probable it will be. Whoever it was he cannot be blamed, as it was done only in self defence. The students were not the aggressors. Mexican Despotism. An anecdote vividly illustrating the senseless vanity and ruthless despotism of .Mexican rulers, may be here re lated. Five or six of the ablest writers iu the capital undertook, some time ago, to prepare a history of the late war betweenMexico and the Uuited States. Messrs Paino, Prieto, Schiafino, and Paneho Segura, contributed the greater part of the materials towards this interesting publication. They gave a tolerably faithful narrative of events, seeking, naturally enough, to mitigate the shame and humiliation which had fallen on their country. Prodigious was the wrath of Santa Anna when the book was placed in his hands. The audacity of a Mexi can writer venturing to assert that Santa Anna was beaten at Cerro Gordo and Chepultepec, & that Scott had taken the capital, was intolerable . Forthwith a decree was issued stigmatizing the authors of the work as bad Mexicans, depriving them of their grade and offices, declaring them incapable of filling any public employment, or dering the book to be burnt in the public square, and commanding that all the copies in the hands of private persons should be given up under penalty of a heavy fine. Several of the colla borators to the work had enjoyed handsome emoluments in the capacity of public employees, which they have now forfeited in favor of a set of political harpies and sycophants, whose chief object was to glut their avarice upon any pre text whatever. Xiggek Governments. It is an historical fact that there are now three or four nigger governments in the world, presenting as great a diversity in their institutions as in their shades of color. We have first the republic of Liberia, on the coast of Africa, which does rather a small business independent of alms and dona tions. Xext we have at one end of the island of Hayti the hermaphrodite republic of St. Do mingo, continually oscillating between democ racy and despotism ; and at the other an em pire, with an Emperor, Empress, and attendant court beauties, all as black as Erebus. Resides these, there are the prospective nigger empire of Jamaica and the Kingdom of Mosquito, both at present under the protection of Great Rri taiu. All these facts go to prove that the negro race whether it be pure black or transparent mulatto is imitative iu its tendencies, and where it can get a chance, will parody-att 'existing in stitutions, by organizing empires, kingdoms, and republics of its own. Wilmington is wofully deficient iu hotel ac commodations, both as regards the capacity to accommodate and the accommodations them selves. We stopped at the Carolina Hotel, the "crack hotel " of its town, and thro' the kind and timelv intervention of a friend we sticceeded iu obtaining a room, in company with the much celebrated Austrian Minister, Chevalier Hulse- man, whom Mr Webster so completely demol ished iu his famous letter. There were others, however who could not find lodgings anywhere. A larsre first class hotel in Wilmington is much needed, and we have no doubt would be well patronised and sustained. Ashrille Spectator. Singular Death.- A young man about twenty nine vears ot age, arrivea at l'aris auout a month ago to seek a place; but as he was provided with a rather large sum of money, he resolved to indulge in debauchery until it should be spent. He accordingly went to dine with some acquaint ances and remained drinking until 4'oclock in the morning. He then returned to his hotel in the Hue St. Honore, but was so drunk that he could hardly walk up stairs. In the morning a person c alled to see him, and was directed to his room which was situated at the bottom of an isolated corridor. To his astonishment he found him hanging by the neck, by his cravat, to the hanrllA nf tlift door. He had. it appeared, in trying to open the door, slipped, and his cravat, which he wore very loose, caught by the handle. The efforts he made to release himself, in his state of intoxication, were fruitless, and he re mained hanging until he was completely stran- gieu. UdeDty to the Inangaral. The President is true to the great principles and pledges of his Inaugural. One year has just passed over a year of excitement and of misrepresentation in parties, but at the same time a year of triumph whenever great princi ples have been applied in the operations of the government. AVe have seen President Pierce repeatedly tested within that period upon the eniphatie pledges of his Inaugural the chart upou which he sketched the high purposes of his administration and in every instance has he succeeded. Xot alone has he been emphat ic in his language, but whenever he has been, enabled to apply the stern, unshrinking test of practice and of action, he has done so fearless ly and at once. We have seen him throw the ample shield of American protection around the distant stranger, who, not yet a citizeu of ourRe publie, was rescued from despotism by the bold interposition of the American Executive, amid the amazement and applauses of the civilized world. Wre have seen him boldly unmasking and punishing the conspirators who have sought to riot upon the money of the people, and with a high hand to use elevated positions to shield monstrous crimes. We have seen him enforcing in every department of the government the ex ample of economy and of frugality. We have seen him throwing the weight of his counsel and his hopes into the cause of a constitution once more assailed by the enemies of the public tran quility. And, finally, we see him, with digni fied and intrepid promptitude, taking the high responsibility of vindicating the national honor against a proud and besotted nation, whose long acts of insolence and tyranny had bred the belief that she was a privileged insulter of our country's name. What American can look up on these trophies of a wise, and just, and patri otic administration, and not be proud of Presi dent Pierce? Washington Union. The Gadsden Treaty. The Washington Star sa3's that the friends of the Tehuantepec scheme are very sure that the Senate committee have reported an amendment to the Gadsden treaty, covering all they are just now contend ing for, according to their representations. That is, incorporating in the latter a recogni tion of the Sloo grant, leaving it optional with the Government to give the scheme or enter prise their protection at will, at any time they may conceive it to the interest of the United States so to do. They farther profess to feel very sure that there is a considerable majority in the Senate fully bent on incorporating an additional section in the treaty to this end; else on its defeat. The Raltimorc American says that it was dis cussed by the Senate in Executive Session on Wednesdaj7. There is said to be a prospect of a long contest over it, and that it will be final ly rejected. Senator Mason, the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, advocated the confirmation of the treaty. Mr Clayton aud Dr Gwin opposed the treaty unless it should be essentially' amended. Gen. Houston said he yvas opposed to it, but announced that he should leave in the morning to be absent some weeks at the West, and that he had paired off with a friend of the Treaty. An effort will be made to incorporate the Conkling Treaty with Gads den's. Adams & Co's Express. The N. Y. Courier & Enquirer, makes the occasion of the opening of a new and splendid establishment by Adams & Co., in that city, answer for the relation of the following incident : On a certain day of the year 1839, a man with a carpet bag might have been seen (as James would relate the story) embarking on board the Norwich steamboat for Roston. The man yvas a Roston Yankee, Alvin Adams by name; the carpet bag containing a few parcels with yvhich individuals had entrusted him, to be delivered promptly in the city of his destination; his cap ital yvas his business; his reputatiou yvas his personal acquaintance; he was nothing iu short but a man with a carpet bag, or what is now called an express messenger on the smallest scale. Faithfulness, integrity', promptness and enterprise brought wonderful things out of that carpetbag; a richer treasury than Fortunatus' purse, and a more magical agency than Aladdin's lamp. The possessor is now, after the lapse of fifteen years, the head of a house which carries to and fro in its "carpet bag," for the accommo dation of the public, an amount of treasure, in the shape of merchandise, gold and silver, notes and valuables, not less than one million of dol lars everyday, or $365,000,000 per annum. Their offices are in every city or commercial depot, from New York to San Francisco and Australia not to mention the Japan office, for which Commodore Perry has gone to pave the I way. lueir agents and assistants number about three hundred. Their capital is, of course, im mense, and the circumstances of the gold market of California, their connection with it as for warders, and the extraordinarj' share of public confidence earned by their honorable career, have lately constrained them to act in San Fran cisco as bankers, on a large scale; where they have just sustained a "run" (occasioned by an accidental rumor) to the amount of $500,000, in a manner which has added largely to the confidence and popularity yvhich they before enjoyed. Such is one of the features of the wonderful age in yvhich we live. Qcite a Windfall to an Editor. The Hon. Nathan Preston, a gentleman belonging to an old Revolutionary and Puritan family seated at Litchfield, Conn., has just died, leaving a large fortune, amounting to from $150,000 to $200,000 in money, stocks and lands in various parts of the country, but principally, it is said, at Pitts burg. It seems that Mr Preston was an uncle $Ughe maternal side, of Mr Joseph R. Seoville, editor of the Pick, of this city, who is the only legal heir to this vast estate. " Quite a yvindfall to a hard working editor, if the things should take their proper course, and the right heir get his own. JV. Y. Herald. During the Revolutionary war, Gen. Lafay ette being in Raltimore, yvas invited to a ball. He went as requested, but instead of joining iu the amusement, as might be expected of a y oung Frenchmen of twenty-two, he addressed the In dies thus "Ladies, you are very handsome; you dance very prettily ; your ball is very fine -but my soldiers hare no shirts." The appeal was irresistible ; the ball ceased, the ladies went home and went to work, and next day a large number of shirts were prepared by the fairest hands of Raltimore, for the gallant defenders of their country. Fort Hill. This world renowned homestead, we are pleased to hear, has been purchased by Col. A. P. Calhoun, from his mother, Mrs Floride Calhoun, relict of the late Hon. John C Calhoun, and will be immediately occupied by him. We rejoice to see the property remain in the family, and welcome Col. C back to his native State. He returns to our midst with an ample fortune, accumulated on the fruitful soil of Alabama, aud as one of us, having left animi rerertendi&o soon as fortune would permit him, which long wished for day has come, and here after the visitor to the sacred precincts of Fort Hill will be entertained by the son in a manner worthy of so distinguished a father. From the Farmer and Planter. r. Davis'g Stock. Messrs. Editors : At your request, I will o-ive 1 saw atDr Davis's near Columbia ou will remember Dr Davis, OI, account of his character for energy and enterprise, and be cause of his known excellency as a cotion plan ter, was selected by President Polk to end to Turkey to make trial of that climate for the growth of cotton. The head of the Turkish government having sent a special agent to re quest that the President of the United States should select, and send to him, a man of approv ed character, and a skillful cotton planter, for yvhich he agreed to pay the individual sent he sum of $50,000 for live years' experiments Dr Davis yvas elected and sent. And while there he yvas enabled to procure and bring with him on his return, several varieties of stock. The high price yvhich some of his stock has been sold for in the United States, proves his judg ment and sagacity in his selections. The varie ties he showed me ou my recent visit to his re sidence, yvere first, the African sheep. These had the size and appearance of our sheep, except that they were covered with a coat ot hair l i i rut t . steaa oi wooi. ineir excellency cons mostly in the flavor of their flesh for mutton the rapidity of increase. Next, a pair of the yvater ox. The cows this species are not more abundant milkers than our better quality of cows, but their milk is said to be of superior -richness, They are peculiarly adapted to live in wet syvamps and love to feed in watery marshes. Xext, yvas the half breed of the Rralimin cat tle the most beautiful specimens of the cattle kind I have ever seen. The deer of our moun tains may be fairly considered their daguerreo type. In size they are larger than the largest of our common stock, and their form and sy ni metry admirably adapted for quick and rapid motion, and great endurance, far surpassing the horse. I was told they had been known to travel yvith a rider ou their back, 90 miles in 24 consecutive hours. For milk the half breed are equal to the best of our short horn Durhams. The oxen for draft purposes, in all respects su perior to the horse, and except for the saddle, must, in time, for the South, supersede the horse, noble and useful as he is. Even for the harness, when the pride of man can be overcome, they will be preferred for their docility, fleet ness and power of endurance. Their llesii, like that of the horse, will not be much used for the table, however excellent it may be, because of its price. The pair Dr Davis imported, he sold to a gentleman in Kentucky for $4,000, besides re serving a pair of their calves. Mr Parker of Columbia, has a half breed heifer two years old, very large and beautiful, for which 1 heard Hon. F. W. Pickens of Edgefield, say he had offered $500 and could not get. The half breed, I yvas told, were probably superior to the full blood, for all domestic purposes. Next the Cashmere goat. This goat larger size than our common goat, is as kept, and by his experiment, is proven admirably adapted to our climate. Its excellence is, that instead of a goat hair, is of casil- to be grea t it has a fleece of fine silky appearance from four to six inches long in one year's growth. It is from the fleece of this goat the celebrated Cashmere shayvls from China are made. Resides its beau tiful and silky appearance, textures made from the fleece of this goat out-wear all known sub stances. Stocks made of it have been yvorn six winters without material injury. They can be shorn annually, and the average weight of each fleece is about four pounds, sometimes weighing as much as seven pounds, and the price is $8,5(1 to $9 per pound being equal in value to the united fleeces of about sixteen Merino sheep an nually. Dr Davis considers these so well adapt ed to the climate and so valuable that he refus es to sell full blood ewes at all, but sells the bucks from $100 to $200 each. He is very liberal, however, and has given several to friends. These two latter species possess intrinsic ex cellencies of great merit, yvhich are now but be ginning to be appreciated. They must be con sidered by the American people as possessing more value than any other species of animals ever introduced into the United States. And Dr Davis not only deserves but will receive the encomium of a public benefactor, by the present and future generations. I hope for the great good he has thus done the American pcopie, he may receive a rich reyvard himself for his public spirited enterjiri.se. I did not have the pleasure to visit Gen. Hampton's stock, and much regret that I did not, for I was told by friends who did, that his stock of Cashmere goats were in line condition ; his stock of Rakewell sheep very superior, and his large stock of short horned Durhams yvere of the host quality and in superior condition. These latter he yvas crossing with the Rralimin half breed bull. I was informed further that Gen. Hamjiton had near 500 acres of river bottom set with Rermnda grass, over which all his stock roamed. Notwithstanding lie had mowed much hay from the same jiasture, and that from one acre had mowed as much as four tons of hay in one year. As the Rermnda grass has been introduced, jiermit me to say there is a great mistake snpjiosing the Rennuda and a grass called by some joint grass, to be the same. Although I admit there is between these two grasses a similarity in appearance, yet their qualities and natures are different. The Rermuda perfects no seed : The color of the grass when growiug is of a pepjier green, the stems smaller and much more tender than the other. When well set in good ground, the stems yvill run up 31 feet high and stand thick, and is thus yvell adapted both for hay and graz ing. The joint grass yvill not run up in the most undisturbed and favorable situation to a height of more than 8 to 10 inches. I refer r V here to the grave yard of the Ejiscojal church in Columbia, where I saw it in December thick ly set. 1 had an opportunity at one time to get a statement from the owners of blue grass arid clover farms, in Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsyl vania, New York, Western Virginia, Ohio, ami they all united in saying that it would take one acre of their best grass, and in the best season, to keep in a fattening condition one grown ox. I learned, too, at the same time, that the best grasses of England and Germany would do no more. Rut from Hon. Mr Harminson, of Lou isiana, I yvas informed that one acre of Rer muda grass on the Mississippi bottoms, yvould keeji in a fattening condition three growu steers. This goes to show that an acre of this grass in the bottoms of South Carolina, is three to one better t.an the far famed Rlue grass j.astures of Kentucky. And further, I was informed by lion. J. Rlack, late the Rejresentative from York District, that there is a grass on the plan tation of our much rejected ex-Governor, J. II. Means, of this State, ten acres of bottom, yvell set. with which he hid been k::own to keep in a fattening condition seventy-head of cuttle, em bracing grown cattle, yearlings and calves. This grass I may say it is almost iuijossible to eradicate, and is a great impediment to the growth of cotton, but for corn aud wheat it is scarcely au injury. It. F. SIMPSON. Pendleton, Feb. 1, 1854. The California Picnrrr. Jean A. Sutter, in whose mill-raee the first discovery of gold in California was made, is a Swiss by birth. He yvas Lieutenant in the Swiss Regiment of Charles X. and saw service at the Revolution of 1830, when he yvas wound ed. After the defeat and exile of his royal master, he came to this country, and first settled in Missouri, yvhere he become naturalized. He then went to Oregon, across the j1ains, then to the bamiwich le-'"f'"..'""l .thence, in 183iLto California, yvhc junction of Fej called his j yvhole count! but by one! inducing him residence. He betook himself to the vicinity of Marysville oh Plume River, aud called his neyv home Hock Farm. There with a comjieteney, and joined by his wife and children, after twenty year's sepa ration, he is leading a quiet, rural life. We gather these particulars from a communi cation in a New Yol k French paper, by a Pole, M. lloleioki, who visited him a fe.v years since. He found the "Old Captain," as Sutter is familiarly called, though less than fifty, and fresh and youthful in ajearance, a very- agree able and talkative companion, lie is engaged in writing the memoirs of his varied and adven turous career. In showing his guest his posses-' sions, which were very extensive he remarked. "Rut for the discovery of gold, I should now be a very rich man." A beautiful Jewess, says the Empire City, attended a party iu Philadelphia, yvhere she was exceedingly annoyed by a vulgar, inq.erti nent fellow. "And you never eat j.ork, Miss.?" asked he tauntingly. 'Never, sir;" yvas the v '. v . continued the perse A or use laid lamp cutor. "No, sir," she answered; "our religion teach es us to avoid everything swinish, j.hysieallv and morally, therefore, you will excuse me for declining to have any more yvords with vou.
