lUSrKDERSTANDINO AND AN EX

When we said "let the event be ae it may,
Nunh Carolina has done well," it never was
mtsnM w mean that North Carolina, in elect
in; Mr. Brg, had done, or would do, well ; for
ti Standard interprets. By no means.
Tb idea meant to be conveyed (and which no
!xbt all intelligent people saw) was, that the
his of North Carolina, even in the event of
i defeat, would hare every reason to be proud
their efforts.
We make this explanation from a frater-

follows :
' Some of the venders of the article oharge

acid gas from oil of vitriol and marble dust.
ana compressing it with immense power into
the fountain. It is the same gas (carbonic
acid) which frequently causes death upon per
sona who descend into old wells and caves. It
is liable to act upon the copper and lead of
which the fountains or pipes are composed,
sometimes forming carbonate of lead, (white
lead,) which every one knows to be a deadly
poison. Many cases of death are on record,
produced by drinking this kind of water. (See
the N. T. papers.) There are several sucb
fountains in this city. They are called Soda
Fountains; but it should be known and under
stood by the public that there is not one par-
itcie oi ooaa, in any iorin, aooui mem, nor in
the deleterious water which they furnish : which
if there is any lead or copper surface expos
ed to the action of the acid must act as a low
peiaoo upon the system.
" Another kind of water (the real Soda Wa
ter) is obtained by dissolring super carbonate
of Soda, the kind used in (cooking) and pump
ing the water into fountain, and continuing
to pump after the water is exhausted, until
the fountain contains sufficient air to force the
water out. The syrups are prepared with tar
Uric acid in glass bottles, and the meeting of
the acid and soda in the tumbler causes tbe
effervescence, and the most healthful and spree
able beverage that can be invented. It tends to
purify the blood, by clearing it of all kinds of
humors. No person habitually drinking this
kind of Soda-Water was erer known to be afflic
ted with boils or eruptions of any kind. Soda
produces no action upon lead or copper."
A Shoxt Stoxt. Dickens tells the follow
ing story of an American sea-captain :
In his lat voyage home, the captain had on
board a young lady of remarkable personal
attractions a phrase I ue as being one entirely
new, and one yuu nerer meet with in the
newspapers. This young lady was beloved
intensely by fire young gentlemen, passengers,
and in turn she was in lore with them all very
ardently, but without any particular preference
for either.
Not knowing how to make up her determina
tion in this dilemma, she consulted my friend
the captain. Tbe captain being a man of
original turn of mind, says to the young lady,
"jump overboard and marry tbe man who
jumps-alter you. ine young iaay, struck
with the idea, and being fond of bathing, es
pecially in warm weather, as it then was, took
the advice of tbe captain, who had a boat ready
and manned, in case of accident.
Accordingly, next morning, tbe five lovers
being on deck, and looking rery devotedly at
the young lady, sbe plunged into tne sea bead
foremost. Four of the lovers immediately
jumped in after her. When the young lady
and ner four lovers got out again, she says to
the captain, " What am I to do now, they are
so wet ?" Says the captain, " Take the dry
one !" And the young lady did, and married
him.
fh vietjne remark that 1 am naturally of a.
kind-hearted "and benevolent disposition. I
seldom see a drunkard making, zigzag tracks
in Broadway at night that I do not indulge in
some solicitude for hia safcty, and fear that he
may fall into the gutter. Our side , walka were
made before intoxication was so- common, and
should be enlarged to accommodate this nume
rous class of inhabitants. Last night I saw a
gentleman making winding movements in the
great thoroughfare. It waa evidently too nar
row for him, and aa he reeled up from a long
slant, I planted my cane in his back and sent
him forward in a bee-line several paces ahead,
but he soon relapsed into his curvilinear gyra
tions. " I do not mention this to show my
friendly turn of mind, (for which I never had
credit enouph.) but to express my belief that
this is a great city of drunkards, aud that Dr.
Graham's difficulty was entirely owing to rum.
Tne Doctor is confined in a room on the second
floor at the Toomb, in size about 10x12 feet.
The rooms all correspond in every respect on
that floor, there is little furniture- in taetsrea4
each one has the croton water in one corner.
it. urahvn turnished his own bed, which ia
J spread upon the floor. The door of the apart
ment is cross-barred with strong sheet iron
bands and is kept permanently locked. His
wife has not even been admitted inside, and
she and his friends can only converse with the
prisoner through the interstices of the door.
Eight other individuals are incarcerated in the
Toombs on the charge of murder, and, as the
grand jury are in session there now, and there
are in all forty cases on the docket, it is im
possible to say when Dr. Graham will be called
up. He deeply regret the lamentable deed, did
noteren know who Major LorfSg was, and felt
no premeditation against him. Loring had been
down to lodge a complaint against Graham,
learnt his name at the office, and threatened to
shoot him. When they met at the head of the
stairs, both were excited, angry words passed,
Loring gaTe the first blow, and in the use of
the sword cane it was almost an eren chance
which one got the sheath and which the blade. It
was a scuffle between two powerful men, and at
the South, where such encounters occur more
frequently, it is highly probable that Graham
would be bailed and go clear. Mr. Whiting
will try for bail here, and expects to obtain it.
Major Loring.it will be shown on trial, was oc
casionally addicted to the free use of wine, and
sometimes, from excitable temper and great
personal strength, was overbearing in his de
portment towards others. I would not have al
luded to this affair again, if there had not been
a desire to look upon it as a Southern enormity,
whereas New York takes the lead of the whole
Union now in tbe multitude of her drunkards
and rowdies.
The firemen had enough to do last Wednes
day afternoon aud night. Three fires occurred,
in wmcn aoout inirty ouuiings in nit were
consumed, (mostly wioden) in 17th, Elizabeth
and Brown streets. The fire in Elisabeth street
near Spring, broke out at 5 o'clock in the after
noon. The wind blew fresh from the N. E.,
and bore tbe shower of sparks in the direction
of Broome 6t. These lodged in the roof and
wooden tower of Dr. Wood's church, (central
Presbyterian) which, if it had b-en built of
slate and stone would still be standing. It is a
pleasure to record a tire by pure accident in
New York, and this was one. T ho celebrated
Dr. Adams preached in this church a long
time, but sold out two years ago to go up town
where a magnificent new structure is going up
for him on Madison Square. There was a
large clock in the belfry of the Broome st. tem
ple, which will be much missed in the neigh
borhood by the Centre street market people
and other inhabitants. The fire was a brilli
ant one, and attracted a prodigious crowd ol
spectators. There was insurance fur $110,000,
which, as the wal's are entire, may be suffici
cient to restore the building, as it was not a
spacious one.
The Commissioner on Jurors, Mr. French,
has just brought to light some curious revela
tions on New York jury men, and presented
some facts which the Know Nothings may turn
their attention to. Upon the Commissioners
Register are recorded in all 52,911 names, but
of these are marked exempt no less than 44,779,
He died near the sea -shore, between Tvre

method of persons dying insane at that time.)
In composing the Iliad and Odyssey be bor
rowed from previous authors, but not to the ex
tent that most of his. successors have done in
that kind of poetry. The siege of Troy took
place about 2100 B. C, and originated in the
way related by Homer, viz., the rape of Helen
by Parts. -
Ulysses was a rtal, and, moreover, a wise
man. The siege lasted one year and three months,
when it was taken and destroyed by the Euro
pean Greeks. It was not a large city, never
numbering over fifty thousand inhabitants. It
was situated on the left bank of small river,
which empties into the Gulf of Adramytta, near
a city of that name. The island of Mitylene
lies opposite the mouth of this river, and was
the station of the Greek fleet.
The actual location of Troy was about forty
se7en miles southwesterly from the place gen
sally supposed. The ruins are yet sufficiently
large to establish tbe location of the city, and
the works of art abundant. The ruins are now
more than a mile from the river, it having
changed its course.
At the time Troy flourished, the river was
navigable to the city for such vessels and boats
as were then in use. The city was well situa
ted for trade, and had a rapid growth in num
bers, wealth and power. It was the seat of
luxury, licentiousness and superstition. The
inhabitants being steeped in vice and indolence,
could not withstand tbe attacks of the Greeks,
who at that time were the most warlike race
in that part of the world. Although the tra
dition of Troy and its celebrated siege were
still in remembrance, its location waa forgot
ten, and Homer himself was ignorant of its sit
uation. Amherst Circle, 1854.

Ma a!o Wife IIocsklkss A SiiToclar
Case. We are told of an amusing scene crea
ted at a late hour a few nights since. The wife
of a gentleman on street, had, by the
permission of her husband, accompanied anoth
er lady and her husband to the theatre, and,
as they lived in the same street, the man and
wife left their companion st her own door and
proceeded on their way home. Contrary to her
expectations and request, she round tbe night
latch down, and she was unable to get in. The
servant having gone out to spend the night
with a neigboring servant, left her no resource
but to awaken her husband. Thus determined,
sbe commenced ringing the door bell riolently,
but could not obtain a reponse, as her liege lord
slept remarkably sound. Her desperate situa
tion, however, caused renewed exertions, and
after full twenty minutes tugging at tbe bell-
pull she finally heard the sound of approach
ing footsteps. Slowly the door opened, and
"my lord and master'" appeared, dressed with
nothing on but his linen, who, half asleep, in a
rain attempt to open his eyes, said, "Is that
you, my dear?" addressing his wife. "Certain
ly it is," rather pettishly answered the lady.
"I hare been ringing this half hour. "Ihe
de uce you hare f" returned the husband step
ping on to the stoop and looking at the bear
ens, as men are rery apt to do, when slam !
bang; came tbe door shut in thtir faces ; a rear
door haring been left open caused a current of
air to rush through the hall and close tbe door
in rather a summary manner. Here was a sit
uation for a married couple. The door waa
closed, the husband in his linen, and the
night key in his pantaloons pocket up stairs.
How they finally succeeded in gaining an en
trance to their bouse, and how they were sur
prised by one of the police, who supposed the
man to be a ghost or a burglar, we bare passed
our word not to tell. Albany Evening Traits.

OBITUARY.
A Htspxchxd Husband. If the correspon
dent of the Nat. Democrat speakes as one who
knows, bis royal highness Prince Albert has a
hard time of it in his domestic relations. The
Queen appears to us in the light of a very de
voted wife, but while she loves and honors, doea
not obey her lieee lord. It is evident that the
royal consort is a hen-pecked man, and that
the Queen is the head man of the establish
ment: I can, however, give you a little anecdote
of ber Majesty that is authentic. Prince Al
bert was lately out for a day's visit to Cam
bridge, with instructions that he must return
by ten at nignt. When 'there, tbe Professors
became so prosy in their addresses, that, being
promised aa entertainment by the municipality
tno.he teletrranhed for permission to remain until
twelve. The reply quickly came from Victoria
that as a punishment for this conjugal dis
obedience, ha must return by eight ; and at this
.,rl, hoar the noor Prince was obliged to

Nodes vigilubunt ad isstim mane,
It is past tbe eleventh hour of tbe night now,
but scarcely any except the old fogies hare re
tired to rest. Many of the stores are closed,
which casts a deeper shadow over Broadway,
which is still thronged by gay multitudes from
Buckley's, Niblo's, and the brilliant saloons.
Some emerge from tbe cigar divans, or from
basements where refreshments are sold. The
better class of courtezans with flaunting finery
hare picked up theii green game, and the old
hacks with some darkeys are looking out for
what is left. The man whose back I steadied
with my cane has reeled home by this time,
and I intend to apply to some society of merit,
and claim a large reward for my providential
benevolence.
In the meantime, 1 should like to nave some
aleen mvself. but as I am not an old foey, it
would be unreasonable to expect it.

Making Lots to tux Wxono Person. A
Cincinnati paper is responsible for the follow
ing: A young gentleman, who had been paying
his addres.es in propria persona to a young lady
in this city, left a tew months ago snd went
down the river on business. A correspondence
was immediately opened between the enamored
pair, and after exchanging several letters, the
young lady was mortified to find that her let
ters were unanswered, and, consequently she
ceased writing. But the real secret of her re
ceiving no letters, was the fact that another
young lady of the same name, supposing they
were intended fur her, took them from the post
office and opened a correspondence with her
proxy loTer.
Some two months passed away, when the
young man wound up by a direct answer, and
arernng at tne same time that he thought tne
tone of her letters rery different from those
when he first left Cincinnati, and upbraided his
fair lore with inconstancy. This last epistle
was too much for our romantic incognito, and
being conscience-smitten for tbe part sbe had
been acting, and fully persuaded that some
other lady had been pining for the man she
was wooing, sought ner out, and delivered up
the letters to their rightful owner. The matter
was speedily arranged, and the real lorers hare
since become united in the bands ot wedlock..
Of course, tbe above is striotly true, but it is
a singular fact that similar occurrences hap
nen oftener in Cincinnati than in any other
r m-
place.

The prevalent sickness of the season has
taken off a victim whose death will long be re
membered. Thomas Bond breathed his last
in the fifty-first year of his age, at his residence
in Bertie county, on Sunday, the sixth day of
August, at fifteen minutes after eight o'clock
in tbe eremng.
The last days of this good man were indeed
full of sorrow and mourning. About a month
before he died, two of bis children, first little
John and then Peter, were followed to the
cold and silent grave. Peace to the ashes of
these interesting little children 1 Shortly after
wards he himself was taken sick. His affec
tionate wife. Sawyer P. Bond, watched by bis
bedside until a few days before he died, when
she too was stretched upon the bed of sickness.
She breathed her last on Saturday, the day be
fore her husband died, in the forty4hird year of
ber age. one was an amiable, gentle lady, an
affectionate wife and mother, and possessed a
heart full of charity and kindness to all the
world- She was truly a pattern of the female
character in its loveliest form ! At length, on
Sunday, the father of the family, their director,
their stay and their head, was summoned away.
Four infant children are lett to mourn their
dear mother and father and two little brothers
Alas I how sad, how melancholy, how full of
grief, is the scene ! The father, the mother,
and two little brothers, within a few days, sleep
side by side in the grave-yard ot the family,
hile those they nave lett behind know not
where to look for consolation in this hour of
unutterable sorrow.
Thomas tsond was unaouDtediy a superior
man. A graduate oi onapei mil, in tne class
with Gov. Graham, Judge Manly, Judge Bragg
and many other distinguished men, he had
no superior in that class in strength, clearness
ana grasp of intellect, t rom bis earliest man
hood, the people ot his county continually of
fered him their highest honors. These he re
spectfully declined; especially was he often
solicited "to represent his county in the State
Senate, but he preferred tbe life of a useful pn
vate gentleman. Although he bad the talent
and tbe energy of character to command the
most complete success, yet the wide and rugged
jostle for tbe empty posts ot honor was not the
con ten tor such a noDie-neartea man as loos
Bond to engage in. Many a man, with less
talent and tar less real usefulness has passed
through life the admiration of thousands.
He respected the rights and sympathised with
the misfortunes of others. To do merely what
the law of the land or even the expectation of
his neighbors required of him, waa not the
standard of his conduct. His mind and heart
spread out as it were and overlapped in good
ness and magnanimity all the conventional
rules of society. Enjoying a very large for
tune, he was as plain and aa simple as the
humblest in the land. Blessed with knowledge
of the most varied character, be was the wil
ling adviser and friend of the poor and less
fortunate. Beloved by all who knew bim. his
sooiety courted by every class, he demeaned
himself as kindly and courteously to tha lowly
and humble, as to tbe rich and. powerful. Un I
where shall we look upon his like again I There
may be a charm in haring one's name spread
on "the page of history, as the hero, the patriot.
or statesman, but no honor can be greater than
to live such a life as Thomas Bond a.
To his brothers in Tennessee, and his large
number of friends who are grieving at his
death, let it be said that but few men hare
ever lived as be lived, and that, while he leaves
his ohildreriV valuable pecuniary inheritance
he leares them another and a greater, that of a
truly honest name. W,
