It incline.! to find fault with the odd way.s of my cousin. I could not help admiring my uncle's candor, ami good feeling'. In fact I dhnSSlsBaSl tno subject from my mind, under the Conviction that, like most family jars Utere kad been fault on both sides. I had now been ngnest at Msmlosi Hsfl nearly three we. ks; during which time I had made myself familiar with the surrounding' country, invariably joining my cousin in 1 er long rides, drivis, eut-of-t leeway rambles, and strange to say the first fev. days Bufltce tl to make us f;riod friends. For I soon perceivetl that she by no means answered my first description, but, on the contrary possessed many nod wsstijiss. which in s ite of my liachelor prejudice I conld not help approving, though I could never find courage enough to indicate such approval in words, until I so far fiomt mvJ self as to express my i nrprise, in a saiiut. r ling tone, that so accomplished and JeMghi mi a comjiuniou naa not a hoot of beaux at ker feet.

Flirting is not and never can le love, I might ind . 1 have many admirers, like other young ladies of my acquaintance but I do "not wan! them. No, cousin, when I acknowledge an admirer the feeling must le mutual." "If I have offended you my dear com-in," said I, "surely you will not refuso your forgiveness ?" "You have not offended me, "she replied; "only I wish yon to understand gg I j. . strongly and think deeply on the subject of yonr remark, ana therelnro. cannot differ the advances of lovers whom I can neither respect for their wisdom n..r este m for their goodness." Then, in a light satirical tune, she ndded, "Hut in truth I do not think I shall accept an off. r, how. ver Umptiiig, for a long time yet. I loemy own way, cousin.

" On htring tkis confession I laughed outright. "Of course yon may laugh, sir, and so may I; but that won't im-reaso my prosiiee! of marriage," she added smilingly. "Egad, Fred was right thought 1; -he really is a snh ndid girl. "1 felt mvlo. ot baehelorbood growing less.

" Hallo ! cousin, have you fallen into a brown study through almriring the color of your nag -." said my companion, with one of her short, merry laughs. "No no that is I was just absent for tho moment" I stammered ont "JVuibUess present in spirit with some fair but distant object," she observed, again langhing loudor and more merrily than before. This thrust roused me thoroughly, and perceiving that my companion was bent noon trvincr to eet mo into an m.l.nnwn with myself, I resolved to tell a fib, ami nip i - , . . i iter protect jn ne Dim. "No. you arc unite mistaken, eonsln " said I very gravely; "fori was just then noiiK'ny oi tno aavisioiuty ot returning to London." "Well, th n, I leg to Inform yon, in the plainest possible terms, that you are extremely unkind in allowing any suck idea to enter your mind." she renlied in a hitlfoffended and half-playful tone; and then, as if desirions of avoiding ject any further, she continued, "lynt come, we anan never get hnek to the Hall at tkis pace.

I did keep as "well np" as I could; bnt on leaping the horse stumbled, and 1 f 11. 1 don't know how long 1 1 iy insensible on the ground, but I do know that tho accident proved a serions one. Many hours elapsed before I recovered consciousness, and on opening my eyes, I lounn mysoir in marston itail, feeling very SS ik, with an indistinct recollection on my brain of having had a long but painful dream. As I lay, jnMXhnr at the various objects around me. I could scarcely b. liex-e I WM assist my OBCle'l roof, there seemed to be such an air of death-like stillness r. ignii ; over the whole bonsehold. I listened for some time bnt could not hear tho Issst indication of life ami motion, and was leghmning to get weary of my oppressive lon-line-s. whi n a slight rustling noise near the door of the apartment, BOSatsi my attention. Then 1 imagined I could hear the sabdned accents of a low, v , ct voice, and in another moment the door opened skrWty and my cousin A , lies stood before nie, fairer and lovlier than ever, her handsome ii atui'i s now saddened with im expression t deepest .sympathy, her whole manner so ckanged. F at I looked upon her as somoniinistering'Jangel. 1 made anSittempt to speak, btttjane raised her hand and motioned sm to keep sil.-nt. "You have hash ill. cousin, v. 1 y ill," she said in a tone scarcely lou.hr than a whisper; 'and now yon linist hasp perfectly mitt To- morrow, perhaps yog w ill be much better and then yon can sp. ak to me. bnt not now, I have len anxiously Mm ; until von awaked, that you may t.d;e M.n.e rotreshmeiit which 1 have prepared for you; but I must beg jronrpromine not to thiuk shOOt anyihing until you issl quite well agiiin." I motion, d ob. dience. but with a faint, but grateful smil, she withdrew as uoislessly as she rune. Many a long and weary night elapsed before I recovered the shock my system had received. Many times I listen. ,! eagerly, during that long illness, for my kind and lov. ly aanae, and atm. j UaaeaheeanM i .

Ko I langh. d. and Agnes laughed and then we both laughed together, until tho joke had been heartily appreciated on both sides.

Tub Fkjesch Cable Instbitment. The instrument to bo used in operating the French cable, soon to be landed at luxbnry, consists of a small tube aliout four inches long, like a small telescope, alxuit an inch in diameter. Midway in thw tube is hung transversely, by a delicate silk fibre, a circular piece of minor, across which is a fine magnetic needle. Around the tube is coiled the line wire through which the magm tic current is sent -in this case a coil containing twenty thousand circles, forming a wheel it it may be so called, of about th roe inches in diameter. There are two keys, aud when one is touched it causes the needle to swerve to tho east, and when tho other is touches it causes it to turn to the west Of course in this motion the mirror is turned with it. Facing the mirror and two feet from it, If - box containing a bright light, witk a mouth kke a photographers camera directed toward the mirror. The light is then thrown npon a mirror and reflected from that upon a wall, npon which there is a perpendicular black mark. Upon this mark when the instrument is not in operation, the parpendi cnlar line of light from the mirror rsts perfectly still. When ono of the keys is touched, and tbe magnetic needle is moved, it of course, moves the mirror with it, and the reflected line of light upon the wall, i moved to tho right or left of the black mark. One of tho keys reflects it to the right or left The Morse alplialiet is nsetl omitting the spaced letters, or those where two dots and two dashes come together; A movement of the light once to the right of tho black mark is a dash, and to the left a dot.

PLYMOUTH, MARSHALL CO , LND., JULY

BETTIXtt IN LONDON. A Haiit I pen the Betting Ilovaes of London How the Betting Bnalnrsa la Contacted. CorTcapontlcnee of the New Tork Tribune, London. Juno 21. A matter of far greater interest to half the people of England than the tinkering of the Lords on tho Irish Hill, is tho Government raid on the betting-houses. I don't know whether this particular flower of English civ ilization has been transplanted to New York, or whether jo.i ...no any ma ion oi xuo extent and profit of its cultivation here. Take Wright's establishment for an example. Wright is, f suppose, w hat is called a respectable man. He iu a number of the King, a member of Tattersairs. and, for aught I know, a member of tho church. He advertises in the newspaper that be will transact a commission business for person-; bsirons of investing llndr mouey on specified horses. Band him ten shillings, or ten or a thousand pounds, and he will "invest" it for yon at the current odds on any horse yon like for any race. Time are Btid to be greonhorns" gn n . UOUgb. to send money to be bud out at the discretion of tho respectable Mr. Wlfnjht In that ease, as the counsel for the gorwritment remarked, hoof course put ther money n Pome horse sure not to win. and when he has not won, the respectable Mr. Wright, equally of course, puts the money into his locket. Hut whero money is sent to liack a particul i horse, the fiction is kept up that some thi d person name not naosasatw to be known to the onblie .hmä ndrl.i k nii.i w- will say, Mrs. Harris - bets against the hom and wins or loses. But the no- ululi. ty in carrying on a great business' like Mr. Wright's, consists in acquiring public confidence, and that eoufnh nco would speedily be lost if in any case the monev won by a customer were not forthemmng. Mr. W right doss in fact pay if he loses, and whether he gels the money from anybody eliu er not is a matter of iisdifl. r. nee to UM lucky fellow who gets it from him. So far as tho public knows, and the law knows, Mr. Wright is simply a "liookmaker" on a frioantie scale. To the ordinary advantages of that lucrative business he adds the advantage of paying himself a commission on the money he loses. There arc many such houses in EngUmd. Wright's is jicrhaps the largesL Morris, who is also under prosecution, is another great ono. You may judge of the extent of th?ir business from two fools. (Ju last year's Derby, when Hluo Gown won, the amount paid on that sin-le horse, through Wright alone, was more than three hundred thousand ponnds sterling somewhere near two millions of what now naas for dollars in America. The other fact shows the system ns well as the extent of tho business. The sums received are entered iu a boat like a check-book. A receipt ior each sum is torn out of the 1 k, and the counterfoil, containing a corresponding entry, remains in the volum?. When Wright was arrested the police found this book indeed, there vim no - oueeaiment about it, for the business was carried on in daylight in a public office, with a great number of clerk. The book contained 80,000 vouchers, of which H,WO hail lieen tse;i out Each oue represented somelody's investment, and this enormous nm bcr covered a period ol only two months. They varied in amount from ten shillings to fifty pounds, and tho whole sum must have exceeded 100.000, and probably was 200,000 or jC300,000. Considering that thero are some hundreds of such houses all over England, and that their operations are carried ou with every sort of publicity, that they can only le carried on at all by the complicity of the pnblic, and that they have gone on thus oponiy lor years, it produces a sensation of surprise to find that it is all don, in llngrant violation of law. There is a statute some fifteen years old against bettiug hoaai ., known to lawyers as tho If, and 17 : t. 11'., which was carried through Parlament by the present Chief Justice, then Att'y-lfcn. Cockburn. It would bo very moderate to say half tho BlfilliWB of the IIiius. of Commons and more than half the Lords arc habitual gamblers on tho tnrf. Nevertheless, they passed this law without objection, for it was understood that it was meant to put down betting by persons of an inferior class, and it is veil known that belting on the iart of ioor men who cannot risk more than tea shil ingsat a time, is an immoral transaction, vhile betting on a large scale is a truly gentlemanly sport. If yon happen to lie a clerk and sre tempted to rob your master's till for the sake o? backing a Derby favorite, the master class has a plain interest in discouraging these ventures. If yon are Duke of Newcastle, and only squander a revenue of 70,000 a year, it is supposed to be nobody's business but your own does not degrade tho patrician order oi which you are a distinguished member, nor lower the tono of public morals, nor cneourago the clerk to follow your example, and "plunge" to the extent of his means, or of his opisirtunities for petty larceny. The sourco ami center of nil the turfgambling in England is Tattersall's. What Tattersairs is, need hardly be explained any more than what Westminster Abboy is. Most people know that it is a betting club, to which groat numbers of tho liest known men in England belong -uiou known in politics, in society, everywhere, perhajw, except in the church. If any HiskopH are members their names are not given to the public. It is just as much the headquarters of letting, as the Exchange is the headquarters of sbick-gambling, and theepii.-e of a horse that is, the odds given or uiseu auout him lor any race ia determined absolutely by the quotations of Tattersall's, just as the prico of consols arc determined by thequot at ions of tho Stock Exchange. It is tho place whero bets are made, and whero they aropaid on "settling days." One of the commission agents Wfore the court last week, stated that ho could not transact bis business at all without hearing regularly from Tat tn. -airs. Hnsiness men iu Wall Btreet are familiar with those little yellow slips which are acut round by venders of telegraphic news, telling from hour to boor the prices of gtoeks the world over. Just sneh littlo slips go from Tattwalia all over Knislaiid will, f I.. !ni. ... I . .: ...2 o -" n:iii(j 'J.IOUIIIOIIH, and the bettmg houses fill their commissions in accordance with tho prices thus mado for them. AnylsKiy can see, then, that to proceed against the lietting-kousee and leaving TattersaHs untouched is only pruning off the branches of a tree that ought to be torn an by the roots. Tho connsel for Morris justly complained ihat his client should lo attached while taie greatest offenders iu the land went unmolested. The newspapers published the betting quotation as regularly as ever, and although tho How street magistrate warned the commission agents not to continue operatic n . pending the present trials, he said in resCct to Tattersall's, that tho saso was not foro him. There may be a distinction in law between tho two, bnt 'kcre is nono in morals, and whether or not the case be within the jurisdiction of How street, it is clearly within tho power of tho Home Secretary to begin proceedings against Tattersall s, as ho has against the others, and try the legal question. If ho will do this, wo may bekevo that he wants to put down gambling on the tnrf. If he will do It, tho only conclusion will be the old ono, that in England there is one law for the aristocratic criminal, and quite another for the jilelxsian. o, w. a -Stephen Smith, Lsq., of Detroit, succeeds In raising a fine crop of plums evory favorable season, by keeping poultry under bis trees.

Professor Howen, ot Harvard College, has prepared a concise history ot the origin nnd fortunes of Phillips Exeter Acad amy, of which he is oue of the Trustees, and it lias been published as a "preiatorv notice" to b catalogue, of this ancient school, which gives tho names of all the instructors and students during its eightysix years of existence. The school was

Among the instructors who were not also pupils we find Rev. Henry Ware, Jr., President Walker, of Harvard College, Alexander IL Everett, and Chancellor lloyt, of Washington University. Tho two Principals who have n ign.-d eighty-one years, were Dr. Hcujauin Abbott, whose torn was half a seats ry, and Dr. Smile, the present head of tho school, who first entered it as a pupil SIS years ago, and as an Instiuclor ;, fmn ago.

Afler a prolonged litigation, the last will and testament of Mrs. Äuna Maria Formen has finally lieen adjudged valid by the i n oral Term of the Supreme QeStrt of this district. A case more interesting and novel has not often been presented to the public. Mrs. Forman lKfore hor marriage was the pet child of a kind anil indulgi nt father, who educated her at the most lush io nable boar.lint' schools. Sho married Mr. Forman in 1 Si I, being then Fl ynsil ol a e. and he a fritie ev. r tS, afler a comniouplaco courtship ot y ears. She married him at the suggestion of her father, and certainly without any enthusiastic lova on either side, Hor father died in 1666, but before his death he gave her all his prop ntty, amounting in the lygiegate to $1511,HM. She mad., a will in Is,',", aUor her father's death, by which she gave her husband Iho bulk of her estate. Hp to this time she ami her husband appear to have agreed very well, but they had Bfi chil iton, and never had any. Pour y . ars later, with less affection for her husband, she made another will, in which she gave her husband hs.s. Two years later, in August. Ini'd, h,.r affections Again underwent a change, and she made another will, by which she gave her hus balad Still leas Six months later sho exe ou teil the two pmein in dispute, in which she gives her liiislianil only a baro pittance ol $I.NH). Although she had no children or deSl nd nils, she had collateral relatives' 'Oi.l ne halt sister, .Mrs. Havilaud, who is h. r heif at law. Mr. Forman app-ars to havo been at tho lime of his marriage a cool, calculating. circumspect man, without noes Of virtues Li excite or attract the attention of men or women, xv ith little education and little means, and at the tinieol Ins nmrnage and for some years afterward engaged in a business which of all olheis was least calculated to mid lo or expand tin idea; that be had. He qwH business in l!S5s, and therebUbs de..t. .1 himself to tho managenienl of his wile's estate. Mrs. Forman not only despised, distrusted and hated her husband sho feared him. There is no doubt that soon after the execution of the contested instrument, she was in dread of her husband, and of the servants whom sho thought he might control. It is a fair influence that these Im lings toward her husband led her to execute the two papers, w hich gave her husband the $1,000 inheritance. There is uo doubt that she intended by them to prevent her husband from getting any moro. Mrs. Forman complained often that ho maiticd her for her money, and that he did not pay her as much attention as ha did tho serv ants in the kitchen. During the Inst years ! ot her Iile thny occupied separ.de rooms, and tho wife passed her days in lonely seclusion. She was on one" or more occa sions reminded of the apparent kindness and affectionate attentions of her husband. She ana wand by saying, "ye, a mau may smile, aud smiling bo a villain." The last two years of bar life she passed in n private madhouse, where she was taken by her husband, aided by tin police, without any shadow of authority for the deed or cause for the pro -oding, without advising with her friends and relatives, and withont even the certificate of her physician, or of any physician. Them she was kept six months, without seeing any of her intimate friends or relations. After h. r death the will, exeludini; the husband from evciylhing but the $1,000, Was admitted to probate by the Surrogate. Til is decision of the Siirroato was appealad from to iho Supreme Oowxt on hevwrtd 'iroiimK Um most important of which was tin? insanity of Mr. Foiman at tho tim. when she executed that last will, and that the instruments were not attached in the manner pr. scrilsl by law. Judge Sutherland delivered tho opinion of the Court yesterday, e..nliimim the decree, of the Surrogate. Justices Harnard and f'srdo'o eoneorriiig. In his written opinion, His Honor bitterly condemus the hnsliand and his selfish motives, which tho laSsgS iaSÜMS to be such that be does not believe Ins testimony unless corrolsiratcii by other witness.

'I lie Ingle Murder Trial Aequlllal of the Accused by a Mixed Jury. The trial of Minnie Gaines (colored) for tho murder of James C. Ingle (white), watchman iu the Interior Depp.rUne.nL in March last, terminated on the 20th. According hi her own story, sho had been on terms of improper intimacy with the deceased, with Uie prospect of becoming a mother. She had threatened to kill Ingle and tho tody whom be hail invited to go to the inauguration reception. Minie was subsequently interrogated by bim, when she repeated the threat, whereupon he drew a pistol aud placed it to her head, but could not discharge iL Tho accused bad asked him for money view of the anticipated offspring, when he repulsed her. A short time after this scene, she took advantage of his lying on alonuge at the boarding house in which she was a servant, and killed him with an ax or hatchet. The counsel for the defence sot up a plea oi insanity, and numerous witnesses were OTamined on this point. The father of tho prisoner showed that from the time of her great -gTandqiarouts bo the present period insanity had been tbe ruling affliction of the family. The vsrdiot was not guilty. Six of the jurors were white, and the other six colored. This is the first murder trial in tho District of Columbia in which the latter race served as jurors.

Htewster, of Dasburg, was awarded the first premium on a tub of butter, and submitted the following statement: "I keep twenty-three cows of the native stock, with a slight mixture of Durham: their feed was tho fall bed in my flsowing fields, with pumpkins in the moruing; tho cream was gathered in threo days from milk that set thirty-six hours after 'milking; the cream theu pet twenty hours, thon was churned; wheu tho butter came it was put into a wooden bowl and washed with spring water till the milk was all washed out and tho water ceased to bo colored, and remained char; thou the Ashton salt is worked in by hand at the rate of one ounce to a pound of butter; the butter is theu set away tostosd tweuly-four hours; thou it is worked over by hand; taking a small quantity at a timo, and working out all Uio brine; then it is p. mm led down in the tub; tho tub is filled within a half inch of tho top: then it is covered with a cloth, over which is spread a thin layer of salL This tub was iiacked tho ith of October. Cream is not churned the same day that it is skimmed, as it will sometimes have a peculiar taste, which it does not liave after standing twenty-four hours. In the fall the j vans are tilled two-thirds full, aud tho cream rises as woll, but in summer it should bo moro shtdlow. " How to Milk.- Cows should be not only milkolwith perfect regularity as regards the honrs of milking, but tb. y should be milked to Uie last drops; and if hired girls or men are employed to milk tho cows, the dairyman, farmer's wife, or wkoever has charge of the dairy, should go round with a small tin pad, and milk each cow dry before tho work is to be considered complete, and they are allowed to return to tbe field or enclosure. The udders should be washed with tepid water before milkiag, so long as the cows remain in or about the byres or yards, but after they are put on pasturage it will seldom be found necessary to do more tbau wash the teats occasionally, .The habit acquired by many

servant girls of dinnim? their hands in ih

milk while milkiug the COWS, is a disgusting Irish practice that should not be tolerated.
