Tie Play ok the “Stranuer.”—The sentment ol mankind upon the subject of a reunion of husbands and wives, who have onet separated, in consequence of matri morial infidelity, was tested many years ago iy Kotzebue, when he wrote his plav -ot fie Stranger. In the original form ol that thrilling drama, the “ Stranger” was coax'd back to bis wife’s arms by a well mealing friend, and the curtain went down upof a once more happy and confiding coupe. This denouement so outraged the poptlar ideas of propriety that the play was peremptorily hissed off the stage, and woull have been lost forever to the dramatic repe/oirc, had not the ready-witted author, reveled the moral of his production*, and elosel the last sad interview between the wretihed pair with the stem sentence from the Husband’s lips: “ We may meet again in llmven.” if3?'

Wall, who ran for Congress in 185G in the Second District. In order to initiate our readers into the humor of the story, they must he reminded that Governor Newell, who was then before the people as the American and republican candidate, was a very industrious operator in his own behalf, attending to all places where opportunities of meeting the people were afforded, and making himself agreeable to the sovereigns. On one oc casion Colonel Wall addressed a field meeting of the democracy in the county of Monmouth, where he claimed exclusive domain, having there his staunchest sup porters. After explaining his own position and his views upon the political questions of the day, and why he ought to be sent to Congress for the good of the country, the Colonel turned his attention to the op position, and espeeiaallv pitched into Dr. ! Newell, “the hermaphrodite candidate for Governor,” as he called him; spoke of his attempt to ride two horses, and that the time would not be long before be would come to the forks of the political road where public opinion branched off into two distinct paths, and then he thought, if each horse took a sepraate road, the Doctor would find himsclt in trouble; and, in a word, give the Doctor a most severe lash ing. After he bad taken his seat, one of the < 'olonel’s friends approached him and inquired, “Who do you think, Colonel, has been listening to the last part of your speech?” “ Really, sir, I do not know of any one in particular, not able to recognize faces in so vast a crowd.” “ J thought you hadn’t,” said the friend. “ Allow me to say that the man sitting in a buggy vounder is Dr. .Newell, the op position candidate for Governor.” The Colonel looked up quietly, and recognizingthe Doctor .exclaimed, “ Why, really! so it is. \\ ell, he oulv illustates the old adage, that/ ‘listeners never hear any good of themselves.’ Well, I am in for it, and must face it out, so 1 will give the Doctor a call.” Accordingly the Co lonel hdt the stand, and pushing his tall athletic person through the crowd approach ed the Doctor’s carriage. The Doctor saw him coming, and smiled. When they met, the most astonishing courtesy marked the interview. “ '\ by, Doctor,” said the Colonel, “ it seems to me you are far lievond the linn oi your professional visiting this morning, or else your practice h.is enlarged greatly.” “No,” responded the Doctor; “ 1 heard there were many sick and atllietod here in this neighborhood, and 1 have come down to see what 1 can do for them; hut, Colonel. I have been listening to your speech, and 1 was delighted to find that you handled ine so gentlemanly nofattactk upon mv private character, simply arraigning me for my political proclivities, which belong to the public.” lh Doctor bowed as he said this, and the Colonel, not to he outdone in politeness, bowed in return, and said: “ Certainly, Doctor, I never indulge in personalities against the private reputaton of any gentleman.” .1 list at this moment one of the fishermen along shore, who had been listening to the interview, stepped up, and to the great amusement of the crowd and the parties most interested, said, with great humor: “ \\ ;,il gentlemen, you both are so polite that it reminds me of a story I once heard of an Irshman, who was going along the road when an angry hull rushed down upon him, and with his horns tossed him over a fence. The Irshman recovering from his fall, upon looking up saw the bull pawing and tearing up tbe ground (as is the custom of the animal when irritated,) whereupon l'at, smiling at him, said, “ ll it wasn’t forvour bowing and scraping, and your humble ! apologies, you brute, faix I should think ; you had thrown me over this fence on pur I pose!’ ,, Thereupon there was a gre.i, roar, and ; the crowd quietly dispersed. -.. -- Interesting Facts.

To Picki.e Ouitmbkrs.—'I’lio following mode lias been tried, and although not dif fering materially from “pickling” in gen eral, is said to be excellent, by a lady in Germantown, who lias adopted it for the last two or three years: “Make a brine by putting one pint of j rock salt into a pail of boiling water, and , pour it over the cucumbers, cover tight, to keep in the steam, an.l let them remain nil night: and part of a day; make a second brine as above, and let them remain in it the same length of time; then scald and skim the brine, as it will answer for the third brine, and let them remain in it as above; then rinse and wipe them dry, and add boiling hot vinegar, throw in a lump of alum as large as an oilnut to every pail of pickles, and you will have a tine, hard ami green pickle. Add spices, if yon ljkc, ami keep the pickles under the vinegar. A brick on the top of the cover which keeps the pickles under lias a tendency to collect the scum to itself, whieh may arise.” The cucumbers should be pickled, allow ing half an inch of the stem to remain.

PRIZE ROMANCE. [ Skewered hy Eleven Kopy-Rights.] Moses the Sassy; or the Distinguished Duke—A tale of Blood and Things. r>V ARTEMI'S WARD. CHAPTER I. —MOSES. Mv story opens in the classic freestinks of Bunting. In the parlor of a aristoratic inanshun on Bacon street sits a lovelv young lady whose hair is covered ore with the frosts of 17 summers. She has just sot down at the Pianv cir is singing the popular peace called Smells of the Notion, in which she tells how with Pensiv Thawt she won dered l>y a (. beet shore. The Son is set tin in its horrizon and its gorjus lite pores in a golden meller fluid through the win ders and makes the bootiful voting lady twice as bootiful as she was bed, which is onnecessary. She is magnilisuntlv dressed up in a Borage basque with Poplin trim mings, More Antique edges and 3 ply car peting. Her dress eoutanes 12 flounders, brilliantly ornamented with horn buttons, and her shoes arc red morocker with gold spangles on to them. Presently she pres ses her hands to her buzzum and starts up in a excited manner. “Methinks,” she whispers in clarion (ones’, “ 1 see a voice?” A noble youth, of 27 summers, scrapes the mud from his Lutes in the hall and enters. He is attired in a red shirt and Mack trow sis which last air turned up over his Lutes, and his hat is bevvitehingly cockt on one side oi bis classical bed. iupoofh he was a noble child. Grease, in its balmiest days near projuceda more gallenter herow than Moses. '1 he young lady gazes upon him for a few periods, claps her hands together, strikes a position, and rollin her l’s wildly like a expirin infantile cow, cries: “ 11a! do my I’s deceive my earsight?— That frame? them store clothes'. Moss voice! it is—it is me own, me only Moses!” and he folded her to his hart. “ Methinks 1 shall swoon,” she said, and pretty soon she swondid. — CHAP. IT.—WAS MOSES OF NOBEL BIRTH. Moses was foreman of Ingine Kumpany Number 40. The 40’s had jest bin bavin ' a pleasant life with the 50’s on the dav I introduce Moses to my readers. He had his arms full of troffees, to wit: 4 scalps, 5 fs. o lingers, i ears, which he had chawed off. i etc., etc. When Klizy (for that was the 1 lovely young lady’s name) rekivered from | her swoon sho asked: “ How hast the battle gone? Tell me!” | “ Klizy,” said the brave young man, drawin hisself up to his full bite, “we chawed ’em up and smashed their old mer sheen all ter pieces!” “ I thank the gods,” shecride. “Thou didst full well, and heneedth I ware thee in me hart of harts! And Moses,” she eon tinuerd, layin her lied confidinlv agin his woskit, “ dost thou know I surntimes think that thow wastest of noble birth?” “ No!” sez lie, wildly ketching hold of hisself, “ you don’t say so?” “Indeed do I,” she sed. “ Your ded grand-father’s sperrit earnest to me the other nite and sez he, ‘ Moses is a disguised Juke!”’ “ You mean I hike,” sed Moses. “ Dost not the actors call it Juke?” she said sternly. That settled the matter. “1 hav thought of this thing afore,” said Moses, abstractly. “ If it is so, then thus ! it.mustbc! 2 II or not 2 P—that air’s the question! But no more of this now.

A Pirut ship is in hot pursoot of the Sary Jane. The capting of the S. J. looks fateoged & as the he had lost all of his parents. The Pirut is dost on to him «k he is about givin in, when a line looking feller inrussit butes and a bubbler overcut rushes forrerd and sez to the capting, sex ho, “ Old man! go down stares. Retire to the staberd bulkhed. lie take charge of this Bote!” “ Owdaslms cuss!” said the capting, “away with thee or 1 shall do mur-rer der-r-e!” “ Scarcely,” sez the noble feller, and he drew a diamond hiked sword and cut the capting’s lied off. “O that I sliood liv to hocom a ded body!” sed the capting, as he fell to deck, lie expired shortly afterwards, being fatal ly killed. “ People!” sed the noble feller, “ Im the Juke de Moses!” “ Obi boss, methinks thow art hlowin!” sed a youth of 40 summers, and the duke cut ofl bished likewise. “ Pont: print any verses on mv deth in the noosepapers,” screamed the nnfortunit young man as he fell ded on the deck, “for if yerdo 1 haunt yer!” “ People!” continued the Juke, “ T alone kin save you from you Muddy and unprin cipled piruts! What line there! A peck of oats!” The oats was iinmejitly brawt. The Juke took them and bravely mounting a jibpoop he threw them onto the towpath. In a minit the leading boss hicht to the Pirut Bote enm along, stopt. and commenc ed fur to devour the oats! The driver swore and hollered at him terrible hut he wouldn’t budge a inch. Meanwhile the Sary Jane, her bosses on the clean jump, was fast leavin the Pirut ship! “ Onct agin do 1 escape deth!” sed the Juke between his clencht teeth, still on the jibpoop. CHAP.

He had bin in Fiance about sixteen years and now be was home agin in Busting. lie had some trubble in gettin hisself acknowledg ed as Juke in France, as the Orleans Die nasty and Borobones werefemenst him, hut he finally conkered, and now he has cross ed the deep blue C to git liis own Elizy.— She knew him to onct, as one of his ears and a portion of his nose had bin chawed oflVn his fights with opposition firemen I dmin boyhood’s sunny hours.

Adoo. The English common law is at variance with itself, as it is what we con ceive to be the law of nature, for it is a strange anomaly that, by the law of real property, an infant in vtnlra sa mer may take an estate from the moment of its con ception, and yet be hanged four months afterwards for the crime of its mother, if the fact of quickening be not at this time evident. Treading on the M^l’3 Tail‘ Many of the itenerant orgaTC£rin(ier8car" ry with them a monkey, who collects tho dimes from the crowd and passes t,iem to his master. Occasionally, some misc'^cti* ous boy in the crowd will step on the moil key’s tail, or when he gets cross and at tempts to bite one of the spectators, poor Jneko or Viator, whatever his name may be, gets a kick for his impudence. Ho, in a late tour, a well known performer carried his assistant with him, whose duty it was at tho close of the performance to take round tho hat and get subscribers to the Old Liner. The Batesville Sentinel thus treads on his tail and it will bo seen that the footfall is no light one: “It appears by a communication in the Htate Rights Democrat of the 20th ult., that an attempt is made by a correspondent of that paper, over the signature of ‘ Viator,’ to create the impression that Col. Hindman in vindicating his course in the Batesville convention denounced James \V. Butler, esq., for perpetrating a slander and false hood. A similar attempt was made in a communication to the Old Line Democrat, over the signature of ‘ V.’ Such injustice is manifested in this matter towards our worthy citizen, Mr. Butler, that we will not consent to pass'it in silence. In order that our readers may see for themselves that an impression was sought to be conveyed, which facts would not warrant, wo copy from ‘ Viator’ his exact language: ‘He publicly refuted the charge male against him by the True Democrat, that ho had attempted to break up the Batesville convention of ’5(5, and that, too, in tho presence of James W. Butler, esq., who, it appears, assisted to create that unjust im pression. He branded the charge as a falsehood and slander, and proved it to he such. Mr. Butler said not a word.’ I he history ot this atluir is simply this: Mr. Butler was called upon to make public a private conversation held with an ne<]aiu tance relative to ('ol. Hindman’s connection with the Batesville convention. In Mr. B.’s communication to our] .iper, he stated, in substance, that he was a delegate to the convention, and that he understood it to be the wish of some of Col. II.’s friends that the convention should adjourn without a nomination. He lurther stated in his com munication that in the conversation referred to he might have expressed his opinion ‘ that he belive it was Hindman’s desire to break up the convention without a nomina tion.’ When Col. II. delivered his speech at this place lie stated that he had hereto fore been, as he hoped hereafter to be, upon good tearms with Mr. !>.; that the charge as made against him through the columns of the True Democrat, that he sought to break up the convention, was false, and that he had no such design. lie stated further, that Mr. Butler was under a mis take, ami had done him great injustice in publishing his opinion. Col. Hindman did not denounce Mr. But ler, nor had he any right to do so, neither did he make any'declaration which render ed it proper that Mr. Butler should inter rupt him or respond. Every honest man, of whatever party, politics or religion, who was in attendance, will remember that the substance of the above statement, as regards the speech, is strictly true; and they will also bear witness that attempts, either by ‘ Viator,’ or other wise, to create an impression that Mr. But ler was browbeaten and denounced, is in famously false and untrue; the result of a moral depravity that can neither benefit Col. II. nor injure Mr. B. I he aforesaid ‘ \ mtor writes from (. hn ton. He speaks in the plural of having passed through several counties of this dis trict; and we infer, therefore, that the au thor is the man who is in company with Col. II., soliciting subscriptions to the (>ld Line Democrat. If he is the man, he must expect extra compensation for such service as perverting the truth, giving a false color ing to real facts, and traducing the charac ter of worthy anil unoffending citizen . If not, perhaps he is a candidate in his capaci ty, with the hope that an office may he created to suit the strength of his talent and the channel of his genius.” Cure for Hoo Cholera.—The Peters burg Intelligencer says the following receipt, now for the first time made public, may be relied upon as a specific for tlm bog cholera. It bad been fully tried and tested on the hogs of a gentleman of Am herst, Ya. The remedy was given in all the varied stages of the disease, and uniformly cured in every case. It will not be impossible, after all the fruitless efforts hitherto made to find out a remedy for Asiatic cholera, that tfiis one accidentally suggested by a young lady to her father in Amherst, Ya., and which was successful in curing the hogs, may he equally so in curing man of that terrible disease—cholera: “ Receipe—Beat up an ounco or moro of assafeptida, and add say to an ounce a pint of whiskey or other kind of spirits, and give to the hog two table spoonsful; it produces an immediate relief, and speedy and permanent cure. The effect which this dreatich had on the hogs spoken of was to cause them to vomit the most disgusting and loathsome mass of matter conceivable from the stomach, when an immediate reaction took place and the hogs were soon entirely well.” A Deaf and Dumb Father’s Sorrow.— Mr. liaehus, the editor of the Radii, at Cauajoharie, New York, is a deaf mute, and m one of his late papers he thus al ludes to the death of a beloved child: “ We cannot this week fill our usual column. Every time hitherto, before this, that we have sat in the old place, to the now regularly recurring duty, we have had dear little lingers rambling along our knees, or making stray snatches at the paper—a little face, all lit with happy eyes, peeping into ours. A little bead, nodding as iu shook its curls, a mock by, ’by, ’papa, and turning back again to the sweet childish teasing- But, now alas! the little fingers are no longer here, the little eyes are dim with a dimness that shall never know their lustre again, and the little curies are yonder, beneath that sod that gleams, so greenly beneatli the trees and the glimmering white tomb-stone.” John Miner Botts.—Botts is a busy as well as a very funny Botts. The Provi dence Post says: “John Minor Botts in a speech to the whig central committee of New York last Thursday evening suggested as the most acceptable plan for organizing the ‘ oppo sition’ that the whig, ‘ republican’ and ‘ American’ members of the next House of Representatives should unite in a call for a convention of all opposed to the democracy for the purpose of nominating candidates. What * jolly joker this Botts is getting to be. Think of those southern ‘ Americans,’ whose principal charge against the democ racy is that it isn’t sufficiently pro-slavery, walking arm in arm with Giddings, Hale and Frederick Douglas to an * opposition’ national convention.” American Titled Aristocracy.—’[ho American titled aristocracy consists of 675,327 captains, 149,476colonels, 102,349 majors, 4321 generals, 526 excellences, 98,325 honorables, 864,720 esquires, 374, 532 deacons, 44,196 able editors and 1 ba ron.
