They had a handsome, house on the Rue Mad- the authentic storv of the nicest widow in the blue-srrass region. Not far from the Forks of the Elkhorn lived the pretty little widow-Faun- tleroy, and one of her nearest neigh bors was General Peyton. The General escorted her to the barbe cue, and while returning, expressed his certainty of the success oi ixen- eral Coombs and the Whig party. The widow took sides with the De mocracy, and offered to wager her horse Gypsy, or anything else on her place, against the General's blooded horse Powhatan, or any thing else she might fancy on his place. The wager was promptly accepted the General thinking, perhaps, of another offer he propos ed making when a year of her widowhood had expired.

John leaped from his horse, caught the lady and saddle, and was at the ton of the bank before the General recovered from his astonishment. The widow sent the General to stop her horse, which had started for home, and before he returned John had repaired the crirth, and the General on his return found them knew more than was at that moment : "No reasons were ever either side." I The subject was dropped, but it recalled to me a strange story I had heard some years ago of a second marriasre of Garibaldi's, and which served well to join on to the unfin ished or broken link that my dinner acquaintance had given me. I'll tell it to you as it was told to me, and you can join the two links or not, just as you please. It was at least a dozen years ago. The lady was young, titled, rich, handsome, and fast. No name was given me. She conceived a desperate, passion ate admiration for the famous "Lib erator of Italy." She was young enough to be Garibaldi's daughter, and he was passing then, ' as he has always for the inconsolable wid ower the celebrated 4,4Anita," his first wife, who accompanied him through many of his adventures, and whose sad death has been so often and so touchingly described, is supposed to be the only love of Garibaldi's life.

And by the way, let me say one thing of my own personal knowl edge, there has been no better speaker on our side in the Wect in a long time than Thomas M. Argo. The Republican party owes him a debt of thanks which they cannot soon repay. His gallant canvass against Gov.

He had hitherto disguised his real name to her, living with her in the name of I Henry Houghton. Shortly after her recovery it was agreed that a divorce suit should be immediately sought for, and Lord Penzance, being acquainted with the facts, granted one. Mr. Loftus, having obtained a largo accession to his fortune, provided handsome ly for his daughter. But the lend was not yet. He resolved to have an interview with his wife, who was still in Brussels, and to whom, through his bankers, he regularly forwarded the amount agreed on in the deed of separation. By the death of the Marquis of Ely and his grandmother he had become worth 15,000 a year, but his wife was living in Brussels on what she con sidered a miserable allowance of 400 a year. On his arrival in Brussels he stav ed at the Hotel Bellevue, and ad dressed a letter to his wife, who was : 1 A X - A r , nig iiur cuiifetruc iu an interview, it was impossible that she could object to grant an interview with her hus band, although they had been sepa rated for so many j years. He told her tho sequel of his life after he had seperated from her. Mr. Loftus' wife listened to the history with Eatience as it was told to her by her usband. As Loftus was leaving, having stated that this unfortunate daugh ter was well provided for. and drawing in strong language a pic ture ui ins misery, ms wne asKeu him if he would live again with her as her husband. Mr. Loftus told ted his intention of bringing Mrs. Fauntleroy to adorn the head of his table. "Sir, she is the finest lady in the blue-grass region, and I hope, sir, you win always respect your future mother." John, with a muiet smile, assured him that he1 was pleased with his choice. This pleased the General highly, for he had been afraid John would object to a step-mother younger tfcan him self. The next morning the General ordered Powhatan brought out and led over to Mrs. Fauntleroy's. Calling John, he requested him to call upon Mrs. Fauntleroy. 44 The Whig party has disgraced itself in Mr. Clay's district, sir, and I am compelled to part with the finest blood horse in the State to pay my wager with that lady, sir." The black boy led Powhatan to the hitching rail in front of Mrs. Faunt leroy's yard. When General Peyton and John arrived, they Jbund the pretty wid ow and two youg lady friends in the yard admiring Powhattan. 44 Madame," said the General to Mrs. Fauntleroy, 44 1 have come like a true Kentucky gentleman to pay the wager I have lost ; Powhat an, madame, is rightfully yours." 44 But, General, I believe the wa ger was conditional.

A dap per-looking apothecary's clerk has just succeeded in marrying a for tune of $2,000,000, and now he has one west to spend it. The facts in he case, as related to me this morn ing, are as iollows : Six months ago a charming young lady, dressed elegantly and in the height of fashion, and representing herself to be the relict of a late prominent New York oil specula tor, appeared in Avashington and took up her residence at the Arling ton Hotel. While at the Arlington she one day took occasion to pro cure an assortment of perfumery, and in quest of that desirable acqui sition of the toilet, called at a drug store situated opposite the Treasury .Department, liehind the showy counter waited an attractive clerk, a young gentleman of twenty-nine, who was no sooner seen than he had conquered. The next day the relict of the late New York oil speculator invited the elegant drug-clerk to a tete a tete at the Arlington.
