Miss Lizzi iynton, of C-rawfords-ville, a correspondent from tbe Chicago Woman's Suffrage Convention, is reported by the papers of that city, to have "spoken at length upon tho subject of female education, and tho necessity of young women preparing themselves for the right of suffrage. They should cultivate womanly earnestness. The modern system of female education was wrong.— Young women have books only to look at they do not read, do not study." The Indianapolis Journal remarks that if the ladies will follow Miss Boynton's good suggestions, whether they ever vote or .not, they ceu^ly will get to be much better women, a point worth mora to the world than all the votes they can cast between this and the crack of doom.

DanielDavis,of Walton, Cass county,

At the Ilumboldt Centennial celebration at New Albany, Hon. JaiuOc P. Luse, editor of the Commercial, delivered the address, which is published in full in tlio Louisville Courier-Jourjial, Willi tbe ful lowing comment: !|g "Tho very graceful and scholarly ad dress by Mr. .Tamoa 1 .Lmst:, ucnvuiud tho celebration of the Humboldtcentenfiry in New Albany, contains a groat deal of striking and original mattor. It will bo road wuh interest by persons of culture, and will runk Miming tbe best of the oratorical essays produced b}- the great occasion.''

The New Albany <Ledger> states that Henry Milburn Dow, the fifteen year old boy, who was arrested last week, in Clark county, charged with committing an assault and battery with intent to rape a Miss Eliot, had a preliminary examination before Justice Ward. The evidence in the case fully established the fact that there was nothing in the charge. Young Dow made an insulting proposal to Miss K., whereupon she went for him with a bucket, and in defending himself, the youngster is said to have choked her.— The girl is described as large enough to have whipped Dow easily, and she doubtless did give him a good thrashing, as he deserved. The magistrate discharged him.

Tiie Now Albany Cjmmercial gives currency to tbo following singular report' which wegive for what it is worth: ''It is bow,in consequence of some 'ovelations made, whilo in the jail at New Albany, bv Frank Reno, more tha'i half suspected that the business of Mr. Young, Mr*. Clem nnd Abrams was to put upon tbo market, or, as it is more commonly called, "sbove" certain treasury notes or bonds, stolen in 1SG7 from an agent of the United States Treasury Department at AVashington, (to the amount of a million and a hair), the stolen money being unsigned by the Treasurer, but otherwise regularly filled out. (The stealing of these bonds was denied in a published card by £?ecretary McUulloch, but they v.'tfre stolen, nevertheless. Frank Reno stated that a portion of these bonds wero on tho Jeffersonville train when it was captured and robbed by Ihe 'Keno Gang, in 1SCS, and that they were directed to certain parties in Indianapolis, whoso business it was to sell them and get them into circulation. The intimations were thrown out by him pointod to Young, Mrs. Clem and Abrams as these parties. Tbis information we have from a prominent lawyer of this Judicial Circuit."

Of frail physical organization, suffering frequently from painful disease, Mr. Fessenden w#i, at times, irritable, and spoke harsh tbings, to which no man could put a sharper point. But his heart was tender bb a woman's, and an appeal was never made in vain to the kindness which ruled his character. Once an estrangement betwoon bim and a Sonator, not now a member of the body, occurred on account of words spoken in debate. After a few days the Senator sent him, from his desk, a note: "If I havo offened you, I a9k your forgiveness if you havo offended mo, I have forgotten it." Mr. Fessenden did not keep back tbo tears wben he crossed the hall to shake hands with bi? old friend, from whom he had been temporarily separated.

THE REPORTED CONSPIRACY ON BOARD THE SABINE. ———

The Hanging of Seven Seamen Reaffirmed—The Mystery Deepened. ———

From the Journal du Havre.] The American frigate Sabine has been at anchor for ten days in the offing at Cherbourg. On Saturday morning a cabin boy, on going down into the hold on some errand or other, perceived a fuse, lighted at one end, and by which the other communicated with the powder magazine. He ran up immediately to give information to the superior officers, and, as one may well imagine, the fuse was quickly extinguished. It was none too soon, for a few minutes later the frigate would have been blown to atoms. The commander of the Sabine immediately instituted an inquiry, which led to the discovery of a conspiracy, having for its object the annihilation of the American ship and the whole of her crew. The authors of this atrocious attempt did not recoil from certain death for the purpose of inflicting a frightful vengeance. Twenty-two sailors were put in irons, and seven were ordered to be hung immediately. For this purpose the commander of the Sabine communicated with the competent authorities at Cherbourg, in order to procure the authorization necessary to proceed at once with the execution. This authorization having been refused, the Sabine weighed anchor and put out to sea and hardly had the vessel left the offing before the seven wretched men were hanging from the yard-arms. Human justice was satisfied, and a terible example set of condign punishment. Several bargemen who happened to be behind the mole were witnesses of the awful spectacle.

John

Chinaman at

city of

Traveller, tbe thought of describing it to your readers, is quiet enough to disgust me. Sacta accumulation of abominations as exitt there is quite too much for any correspondent. There are streets so narrow that as you walk through the center you can with your hands touch the walls on either side filth which constantly accumulates and is never removed pools of green water, fairly thick with garbage and refuse of all sorts which are never drained, and which would accumulate until they flooded the city did not the sun draw up the water from them, and so keep them within bounds dogs and naked children so tbick in tbe streets that you hardly dare set your foot down, for fear you will hear a yelp or a scream, the dogs so craggy and mangy that you are tempted in compassion to destroy the wholo troop, if the thing were possible, children so bungry.faced and dirty, that you can but wish the same fate for them.

In short the native city of Shanghae reeks with filth, it possesses ten times more colors than the far-famed city of Cologne, in which somebody, Coleridge, I believe it was, smelt "forty distinct and different stenches," and the wonder is that any human beings can live in it at all. I'm satisfied that no one but John Chinaman could.

The country in tbe region about tbi« city has the reputation, deservedly, too, I should think, of being very unhealthy for foreigners. During the winter months it rains incessantly—the sun showed his faceortcein Shangbae during the month of February last—and during the summer months the same sun shines so fiercely and with such intense heat as to make tbe slightest exposure to his rajs dangerous to foreigners.

CHINESE MERCHANTS.

The Chinese merchant in Sbangbae i3 tbo complete epitome of all that clans, sharp and crafty in trade, In deceptions, in all manner of lying, and in tricks of every sort to get much money for articles of little value, he is a perfect master. He has no conscience and no sort of shame about bim. He will one day bring you some curio, which he assures you is the very oldest and rarest to bo found ia the market. Perhaps it is a vase—and for it he asks in consideration of its age, beauty, and rarity, tho modest sum of fifty dollars. You offer him three. He throws up his hands in disgust, says "the reverend and honorable gentleman ia certainly in jest," intimates that he feels deeply offended that you could consider him guilty of such a piece of meanness as to Uy to sell you for fifty dollars, an article worth only three and with an air of sadness which almost brings the tears to your eyes, and causes you to be ashamed of youreelf, he fans himself a little, says, "Well, I go off," ties up his precious treasure, goes to tho door, turns about, and,says he 'don't want to make any money to-day, and so you may have it for forty-nine dollars If it be your first bargain with the native you will probably take, but if you have had a litth experience you will say, "No, "I wil give you the three dollars.'' He darts off in disgust, says he will certainly never come back shuts tbe door after him, but opens it again to say that you can have the article for forty-five dollars.—

You say "no" —and now he begins to come down rapidly, until, at last, after many words and several pretended departures, he sells you the article for, pro, bablyjjfoe dollars, The next day tho same honest tradesman comes again with "one more of the same sort," and says to you that the one he sold you yesterday was but second rate, and so he sold it to you for so small a sum, but this one is really the very best to be^ bad, and so for this he must have fifty-five dollars, and he won really take, any less, and if you don't want to give so much say so at onoe and let that be the end of it. After pecisely the same kind of haggling as the day before, you get this curio for about three dollars. Then'a friend comes in who knows about the value of such things in China, and he tells you that the two articles bought are neither old, nor rare, nor comparitively beautiful,and that they probably cost your worthy merchant,who stands by with a face of innocent satis faction, about twenty five cents apiece.— You are indignant, and boldly charge said merchant with fraud and lying, He with a hearty laugh, acknowledges it.and seems to think it the best joke in the world. I, myself, bought a piece of amber, curiously carved i.ito the form of one of tho idols, which, on examination, proved to de quite a good specimen—of North Carolina rosin.

A Story of the War.

"Russell1' writes to the Boston Traveller: Last February thore wai a 6olditr named Benton, in Boston, claiming to be from New Jersey, who applied to several places for aid to go to Trenton, where he said bo had a sister. He was evidently weak-minded, and was called an idiot by some to whom he applied. He afterwards begged Bome in Providence and New Haven. But he generally met with rebuffs, and was considered by many as an imposter. His history about hi3 sister was always very vague and disconnected At last a young woman residing on the highway between Now Haven and Bridgeport, and at whose house he stopped for water, invited bim in, and although sh« felt that ho was weak mentally, yet treated him with great kindness. She had lost a brother in the war, and Bho reverenced all who had been there.— Her parents objected to keeping him, but sho finally persuaded ihem to sot bim at work upon the farm, where ho could, undor tho superintendence of bor father, do considerable work. stayed there for moro than a year. All this while this young lady was trying to get a lettor to hia sister, but could get no reply.

It so happened, according to our correspondent, from whom we obtained most of the details hero given, that she had an intimate acquaintance nnd schoolmate living in Schencctady, N. Y, with whom she had "roomed" at ti ycung ladies' school in New Haven. In the absence of anything else to write about, she wrote to her friend in Schenectady about tbe sol dier, telling his name, and quoting some remarks which be ofton made. This letter wa9 soon forgotten by tbe receiver and went into the paper rags, and thence to the paper mill. At tbe mill some funloving girls picked out a doz-an or more letters and took them home to read in tbe evening. This letter was ono of tha chosen ones, and was read by a girl who had worked at houso-keeping in a family of the same name as the soldier mentioned in the letter, and they had lost a son in tbo armv. It made a great impression upon her, and she finally soot the letter to the family.

Wben the Benton family received the letter tbey wero inclined to lake no notice of it, and had thrown it into the waste-basket, when a neighbor, with the expression "who knows," advised them to send to the young lady who wrote the letter. The young lady took tbis letter of inquiry and read it to Benton, when he suddenly burst out weeping and exclaimiog: "They are my lost folks, my lost folks It afterward proved that his sister in New Jersey was a "mere notion" ho had gotten into his addled brain, and that he had been hit on the head by a splinter in the battle of the Wilderness, which so affected his brain that after his exit from the hospital he was partially insane. This letter was from his father, who was a very wealthy man, and who has since surroended him with all tbo comforts which he can enjoy, and given

to his benefatili'eis in Connecticut's, check for three thousand dollars. If our informant, who knowi the parties, would only let us add that Benton recovered his reason and married.the girl, it would be a first-class story. I

Female Athlete Wins Two Prises and Takes the Belt. A short time ago a number of the young people in the neighborhood of Dorchester, Mass., improvised a jumping match for a small purse between Mike Flynn and a young man named Murphy. In this match Murphv was badly worsted whereupon his Bister Kate, a bright,strong and sprightly girl of twenty summers, became very indignant, and gave out to her companions that the could out-jump Mika Flynn if her brother could not.— Katie became very earnest in her asseverations, and to satisfy her a match was made for a purse of $75, aBd greatly to the surprise of her friends, when tho match came off she won it. This greatly shamed Flynn and his friends, so Miss Kate was challenged to another contest, for $200 a side, some days after. The affair attracted quite a crowd to witness the sport, not lees than four hundred people being present.

Kate made her appearance, dressed in flowing red flannel drawers, a la bloomer, with merino shirt, and a pair of pretty gaiters tightly laced to her feet. Mr. Flynn was dressed nearly in the same manner. Tbe arrangements being all completed, the exerc'ses began, Flynn leading off with a leap of ten feet two inches. Kate thon tdok her position, cheered on by her friends, and made the leap, clearing a distance of ten feet and four-and-a-half inches. Tbis created great excitement in the crowd, and nerved up Katie for something still belter. The sec* ond leap wss called for, when Flynn cleared ten feet seven inches. This was a very long jump, and the Flynn party felt greatly encouraged. But Katie was again introduced, bor friends cheering and feeling confident that sbe would beat. Carefully she placed her little gaiter-boots on the line, and straining every muscle in her well-knit framo made tho leap, clearing ten feet and nine and threequarter inches. This wss too much for her competitor, and amid the plaudits of tho whole company Katie, re tired ':'u her purse of $400.
