Tell me a Story- BY WILLIAM F. HART. WAR'S CHANGES. ■ . ■ bkk a i) a vn: s. The Battle Eield. Romance in Real Life. On Tuesday. in the Police Coart. a singular occnrreuce in real life took place, which in this cite, at hast, has seldom transpired. The facts are these ; About fire years ago, a roan named Edwin Carey left an affectionate and beautiful wife and three interesting children, to seek his fortune in the mine? of California. For one rear after his arrival in the gold country, Carey wrote constantly to his wife and enclosed fre quent sums of money. Suddenly, the e n - prudence ceased, and Mrs. Carey, receiving no money, was compelled to adopt other means to obtain a livelihood for herself and tittle ones. In a few we- ks thereafter. Mrs. Carey received information that her husband hud been killed in the mines, which was corroborated by a subsequent letter received frem California. For three years she lived, as she supposed she was. a widow, and receiving the attention of an Italian named Joseph Reibe, who succeeded in gaining her affections, she consented to mar riage. and about a year ago the two wore legally united it; the brines of wedlock, and have ever since lived quite happily together. On Sunday last, as the choreh bells were summoning to the House of Cod the worship pers of the Trne Doing, Edward Carey, who had arrived direct from California by the morning train, was making inquiries in the neighborhood in which his family resided when he left Cincinnati, for his wife and children. His neighbors and friends stood amazed, ai d trembled upon beholding the man whom they had long since believed to be dead. Upon being assured that it was Carey, who was not dead, but living, ha was astonished with the intelligence that his wiie, who also believed that he had "gone to that bourne whence no traveler returns." was again married to another man. with whom she was now living in domestic felicity. Ascertaining the residence of Mr. aud Mrs. Reibe. the afflicted husband hastened to ascertain whether what he had heard was true or false. Knocking at the door, a tall Italian, measuring six feet one and a half inches, came to the door. Carey inquired : "Does Mrs. Reibe live here?'’ ‘•She does—will you walk in, sir ?” replied the Italian. ‘■Vos, sir: will you please tell her that a gentleman desires to see her, 1 ' said Carey. The Italian consented, and. on going to the door leading into the dining room, called his wife by her first name. She answered, and. all full of smiles, came running into the parlor. I pon seeing ter husband, who rose from his seat to meet her, she screamed out. "My God. Carey 1" and fell fainting to the floor. The husbands both hastened to raise her from the floor. When Carey informed Reibe that ho was Edward Carey, the lady’s lawful husband, Reibe also claimed h r as his wife, and added, "I shail never give her up." Before the wife had fully recovered from her tainting fit, the two husbands had become engaged in angry, violent words, resulting in Carey's drawing a pistol upon Reibe. rnd by the latter being forcibly ejected trem his house. Riibe. cn Monday morning, bad a warrant swom out in the Police Court, charging Carey with disor derly conduct, and provoking him to commit a breach of the pt ace. Carey was arrested, and when arraigned before Judge Warren, in the presence ol Reibe and the wife."be asked the Court to bear an explanation before he entered his plea. Judge Warn n consented, and Carey stated that he and Reibe both claimed the lady (pointing to Mrs. Carey Reibe) as wife, and he, believing fiim-e!f to be the legal claimant, had become disordor'y in demanding peremptorily of Reibe that he should give her up. Reibe, '1 iting a y, Mr. S exhibited to the Court the marriage certificate, and the question was at once raised, "What further proceedings could be had in that Court! - ’ The wife, who like Niche, all in tears, was called in, and asked by the Court if either of these two men was her husband ? She replied that she had been married to both, but having learned that her first husband was dead, she formed an attachment for Reibe three years afterward, and marriej him. After assuring the court of her deeply seated attachment always for Carey, and now her warm affection for Reibe, who had been to her an affectionate and devoted husband, the court inquired of her, viz : ■What do you cow propose to do?—live with your first husband, who is legally such, or your las! husband, w ho, by misapprehension and unintentionally, you have made your husband?'’ The lady replied : "My duty aud my desire are to go and live with my first husband. Edward Carey.” The scene which followed can never be scribed. Cat y and his wife approached each other and wept aloud, while the disap pointed Italian, seated in his chair like a statue, presented a picture of despair and disappoint ment. Fresently his feelings were overcome, and he grievously wept, eliciting the sympathy of all. Carey and his wife, arm in arm, left the court room, and Reibe. after receiving kindly admonition from the court that he must be resigned and pursue the matter no further, left the presence of the court, deeply chagrined and terribly mortified at the fate w hich had befallen him. Carey and his family are preparing to leave the clly, and Reibe. all alone in a deserted house, refuses to be comforted. — Cincinnati Enquirer, Feb. About Plots and Countkrplots.—The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial believes the story of a conspiracy in the South to assassinate Lincoln, it says: "It is a part of the villainous programme now, not only to attempt to control the elections in Ohio. Indiana and Illinois, but to assassinate Mr. Lincoln in the event of bis success at the polls. People may characterize this announce ment as a ■ l it us Oates conspiracy,’ but I have the best of reasons for believing it literally true. A prominent Democrat was heard to say in ibis city, a week ago, -Mr, Lincoln cannot hold his office another term, if be is elected. He will have to flee for his life belore the Ist of January. If be cannot be ousted one way he will another.’ Are men who were sufficiently allied with the Southern cause to raise troops for the rebel army in the State of Illinois two years ar.d a half ago, and who are now advocating the Southern cause in the Congress of the United States, too virtuous or too patriotic to head a conspiracy to take the life of an individual? I think not. What else is to be expected of Mr. Wood, of New York, who regretted that he couldn't send a ship load of arras to Georgia ; Mr. Dawson, of Pennsylvania, who savs" the South was justified in seceding; Ur. A Illinois, w ho recruited from his constituents to reinforce Lieutenant General Polk, when he blockaded the Mississippi at Columbus, Ken tucky; Mr. Voorhics. of Indiana, who says this is an unholy crasade aeaiast the ri-rbts of the Southern pe >:■!■■. or a boat of others who have uttered sentiments equally disloyal on the floor of the House this session?” First at Vicksburg.— Among the inscrip ti ■ standard of I U. S. I mtry is one. "First at Yicksbu-g.” In awarding the honor of this inscription, the P.:-ard of Officers appointed to distribute honors won in that campaign declares it "finds the I3tb U. S. Infantry entitled to the first honor at Vicks burg. having iu a body planted and maintained its colors on the parapet with a loss of 44 S 10 per cent., including the gallant commander. Washington, who died at the parapet.” Its conduct and loss, the Board, after a careful examination, believes unequalled in the army. “The Buckeye Abroad " and the Roman Citizen of African Descent. The following is the full text of the felling remarks of Mr Washburne, of Illinois, in reply to Cox. in the Nat:Dual House of Representa tives, recently; I wish to make an excuse (or the author of the pamphlet frem which the gentleman from Ohio has read such copious extracts. I think that author has been corrupted by my friend from Ohio. I think he must have bien reading a book which the gentleman from Ohio has written, which 1 now hold in my hand, and which 1 have read with great pleasure. The gentleman from Ohio -aid that he had hereto fore answered this book in the House, and that I had heard his speech. I always liked to hear the speech he made today. (laughter.] 1 have listened to it several times. [l-aughter.j We shall do: probably have the pleasure a: the next Congress of hearing my friend from Ohio rehearse this speech here, because 1 think, in the light of the recent elections iu Ohio, and particularly iu the district of the honorable gentleman, I can say to him in the language of Watts, an d in the spirit of the utmost kindness; "You living man, come view the ground Where yon must shortly lie." I desire to show the House what the gentle man from Ohio has written in regard to the "African,” in a book entitled "A Buckeye Abroad : or Wanderings in Europe and the Orient. By S. S. Cox. He is describing St. Peter's, and says ; "In the meantime, seraphic music from the Fi pe's select choir ravishes the car, while the incense titillates the nose. Soon there arises in the chamber of theatrical glitter” —what?—"a plain unquestioned African! [laughter] and he utters a sermon in facile Latinily. with graceful manner. His dark hands gestured harmoniously with the round periods, and his swart visage beamed with a high order of intelligence.'' [Laughter.] What was he? Let the gentleman from Ohio answer: ••He was an Abyssinian. What a commentary was here upon our American prejudices! The head of the great Catholic Church surrounded by the ripest scholars of the age. listening to the eloquence”—of whom?—‘-of the despised negro: and thereby illustrating to the world" —what?—"thereby illustrating to the world the common bond of brotherhood which binds the human race.” [Roars o( laughter.] Mr. Speaker, I appeal to the House if it does not appear that the author of that pam phlet must have been corrupted by reading the works of my friend from Ohio. But tlTcgrn'l,man goes on to .-ay ; ‘-I confess that at first it seem d to me a sort of theatrical mummery, rot b( ir.g familiar with such admix tures of society." That was the first imprsssion of my young and festive friend from Ohio as he wandered through the gilded corridors of St. Peter's. [Laughter] "But,” says be, “on reflection. 1 discerned in it the same influence which, during the dark ages, conferred such inestimable blessings on mankind. History records that from the time of the revival of letters, the influence of the Church of Rome had been generally favorable to science, to civilization and to good government. Why?" Why, asks my liier.d from Ohio, is the Church of R-vme so favorable to science, to civilization, and to good government ? Let the gentleman answer; “Because her system held then, a? it holds now, all distinctions of caste as odious." [Great laughter.] "She regards no man, bond or free, wliite or black, as disqualified for the priesthood. This doctrine has, as Macaulay develops in his introductory chapters of his English history, mitigated many of the worst evils cf society; for where race tyrannized over race, or baron over villein, Catholicism came between them and created an aristocracy alto gether independent of race or feudalism, com pelling even the hereditary master to kneel before the spiritual tribunal of the hereditary bondman. The childhood of Europe was passed under the guaidiatiship of priestly teachers, who laugh'. ns the scene in the Sistinc chape! cf a;i Elhiope addressing the proud rulers of Catholic Christendom teaches, that no distinction is regarded at Rome save that w hich divides the priest from the people. "The sermon of the Abyssinian”—that is. of this colored person, this Roman citizen of "African descent"—"in beautiful print, was distributed at the door. I bri: g one home as a trophy, and as a souvenir of a great truth which Americans are prone to deny or contemn.” [Laughter.] Now, I a-k my friend from Ohio if be has still got that trophy and souvenir to bring into this ball ?” A Fikrce Old Max Kangaroo.— The Gouiborn (Australia) Chronicle, November 4, says : "As young John Thomas Patterson, of cfiigarloaf Fiat, Tarlo, was proceeding on horseback through the bush, iu the vicinity of his residence, on .Saturday last, he was attracted by the yelping of three or four dogs in a thick piece of brushwood, and, riding np, he came upon them attacking an immense old man kan garoo. One of the dogs was already dead, rent asunder by the claws of the monster, and two others were also wounded, but were still tack ling it. No sooner did the kangaroo espy Patterson than it jumped at him and threw its fore paws around the horse's neck. Fortunately, the youth had a loaded pistol with him. which he drew and fired, the ball striking the kanga roo iu the left shoulder, and passing out through its back. By this means, one of the animal's oaWS was disabled, but with the other he still showed fight, and Patterson, being nnable to make anv impfusslou on his assailant with blows of the pistol, lot he bad not another charge, endeavored to get the stirrup cai pf the spring bar so as to use it at the end of the leather as a weapon. Whilst doing this, the kangaroo, with his undisabled paw. slightly wounded his hand. At length, Patterson got the stirrup loose, and bitting the animal on the temple with all his force, he succeeded in stun ning it. With several well directed blows he managed to kill it. The kangaroo was of enormous size, measuring no less than nine feet six inches from the tip of his tail to his ears. The tail itself measured fifteen and a half inches at the butt, and the skin and tail weighed twenty nine and a half pounds. When sitting on its haunches, the animal was fully seven feet in higbf.” A Woman Cultivates a Mustache and Mabries a Woman —A w, man in soldier s clothes was arre-ted in this city, last week, on account of complaints from Manitowoc, that she had married a woman in that place, taken her money and decamped. Upon learnirg of her arrest here, officers from Manitowoc came through end took her to that place for trial. We learn that she formerly lived at Bay de Noquet with her husband, that her husband lives now somewhere on the shore of Lake Michigan, that she has been absent from her husband nearly two years, part of the time in camp at Madison in soldier's uniform ; that she speaks two or three languages, has cultivated a fight mu-'ache. and, like some of the counter feit money now in circulation, at first glance is well calculated to deceive. She has been brought to a sudden bait in her wild career, and we trust she will be taught a lesson that will make her a w;=er and better woman in future. — Green Bay Advocate- A wise man. as well as witty, was Theodore Hook, when he told the alderman who bad already surfeited him. and yet pressed him to partake of still another course. “I thank you : but. if it's the same to you, I'll take the rest in money.” Why a Southern-Born Man is Anti- Slavery. There was an immense Union war meeting at Bryan Hail. Chicago lately at which Got. Vales, of Illinois, was the principal speaker. In the course of his remark?, be said ; I am anti slavery, not because 1 was born in New England, and have my prejudices against the Southern people, but K cause 1 was btH the South ; there center all the memories of my youth, there is the home of my kindred, and 1 believe that the warm, genial pulsations ol humanity tiow in as deep a current through Southern veins as in any people beneath the snn. But slavery has been the canker of the South, to eat oat both its substance and its manhood, and to subject it to a boastful, insalt ing. arrogant aristocracy, which, from the habit of tyrannising over the poor slave, has become too pampered and arrogant to submit to the richtful authority of good government and laws. Slavery not only oppressed the African race, sundering husband from wife and father from son, exacting service without remuneration, but degraded the poor white man. deprived him of his rights, reduced the wages of bis labor, divided the land into large plantations, so that the white population was sparse and schools few and remote. It stood as a perpetual living wall, a black and ghastly spectre to roll back the tide of emigration which is pouring in from Knrope and New England, and which sought ■ rairies ai 1 w la of the Northwest, and which, under the genius and life giving energy of free labor and free institutions, has marched forward with stalwart, giant triad to wealth and power, while the South, with its fertile soil and genial sky, has drooped and withered be neath the curse of slavery. It is for the South, as well as for the welfare of the country, that 1 wish to see slavery extinguished. Small farms, free labor, free schools, a free priss and open Bibles, free institutions, will make the South bloom and blossom as the rose. [l.oud cheers ] Whenever self poised and conscious of her moral status and power—when every man can lift up to God unfettered limbs and soul—then the South will start with a bound; emigration and genius, and art and enterprise, will seek her sunny hills and vales; and these shall be the Lookout Mountains upon her deliverance, and a race of unending progress to wealth, power and renown. [Lengthened applause.] Extract from Paulding's Tale of tlie Politician I was called oat of bed early one cold win ter morning, by a person coming on business of the utmost consequence, and dressed myself iu great haste, supposing it might be a summons to a cabinet council. When 1 came into my private office. I found a queer, long-sided man. at least six feet high, with a little apple head, a long queue, and a face, critically round, as rosy as a ripe cherry. He handed mo a letter, recommending him particularly to my patron age. 1 was a little inclined to be rude, but checked myself, remembering that I was the servant of such men as my visitor, and that 1 might get the reputation of an aristocrat if 1 made any distinction between man aud man. “Well, my friend, what situation do vou wish?” “Why-y-y, I'm not very particular; but some how or other. I think I should like to be a minister. I don't mean of the gospel, but one of them ministers to foreign parts.” “I'm very sorry, indeed; there i* no vacancy just now. Would not something else suit you ?” ‘■Why y y." answered the apple headed man, ‘■l wouldn't much care if I took a situation in one of the departments. I wouldn't much mind being a comptroller, or an auditor, or some such thing.” “My dear sir, I'm sorry, very sorry, very sorry, indeed, but it happens unfortunately, that all these situations are at present filled.— Would not you take something else ?” My friend stroked his chin, and seemed | struggling to bring down the sorings of his high ambition to the present crisis. At last he answered. “Why y. yc-e-s; I don't care if I get a good collectorship, or inspectorship, or surveyor ship, or navy-agency, or anything of that sort.” * “Heady, my good Mr. Phippenny,” said I “I regret exceedingly that not only all these places, bat every other place or consequence in the government is at present occupied.— Pray think of something else.” He then, after some hesitation, asked fur a clerkship, and finally the place of messenger to one of the public officers. Finding no va cancy here, he seemed io vast perplexity, and looked all around the room, fixing his eye at length on me, and measuring my height from head to foot. At last, patting on one of the drollest looks that ever adorned the face of man, be said: “Mister, you and I seem to be both pretty much alike. haven't yoa some old clothes you can spare?” President Lincoln and Working Men. A Committee on behalf of the Xcw York Workingmen's Democratic Republican Asso ciation wailed on the I’resident. in Washington City. March 21st, to inform him that their association had elected him an honorary mem ber. The objects of the association are to advance the working men of America in morals, position and loyalty ; it binds them together in support of the Union, and induces them at all sacrifices to sustain it. They requested Mr. Lincoln to give bis views on the subject matter of which their address treated. The President, in reply, said that the honor ary membership. " r nerou;!y tendered, was as gratefully accepted. They comprehended that the existing rebellion meant more :L;n tEe perpetuation of African Slavery; that it was in fact a war upon the rights of working people. Partly to show lhat the views had not escaped bis attention, and partly because he could not better express himself, be read a passage from his message to Congress of December, 1661, and he then concluded as follow? : •The most notable feature of the disturbance in yoor city, last Summer, was the hanging of some working people by other working people. It should never be so. The strongest bond of human sympathy, outside of family relation, should be on uniting all working people of all nations, tongues and kindreds; nor should this lead to a war on property or owners of property. Property is the fruit of labor: property is de sirable—is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to energy and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the hou=e of another, bat let bim labor diligently, and build one for him self; thus, by example, assuring that bis own shall be safe from violence when built.’’ At the conclusion of the President's remarks, he handed a copy of his speech to Mr. Still, the Chairman, who. upon receiving it, said : "On behalf of the Committee, Mr. President. I thank you, and I will only add that it is the general desire of the working men of the United States lhat the next President of the United Stales shall be from Springfield. Illinois, and that his name be Abraham Lincoln.” For which the President answered: Tam very much obliged to you. gentlemen and the company dispersed. “As attorney," said Sterne, "is the same thing to a barrister that an apothecary is to a physician—with this difference, that your attorney does nut deal in scruples.” XO 27 The Curiosities of Eating. An old bean, f-'rmeriy known in Wash] ingten City, was accustomed to eat bat ow meal in twenty four boars, if after ibis hi had to co to a party and take a secon 1 dinner he ate nothing at all the text day. He diet at the age of seventy years. A lady of culture, refinement, and nnusuw powers of observation and comparison, booaml a widow.

She soon dtscov or -d that when they ate buckwheat cakes anc m 'lasses thev were quiet for a long lime that alter eating any other kind of food. A distinguished Judge of the 1 uited Statci District Court obrcrvod that, when be tool buckwheat cakes for breakfast, he c uld sit ot the berch the whole day without being nn comfortably hungry : it the cakes were omit led. he felt obliged to take a lunch about noon Buckwheat cakes a a uuiTetsal favorite at the winter brcaklast-tablc and scientific in Testigaiion and analysis has shown that they ab and in the bcal-formitig principle. henc< Nature takes away cur appetite (er them it summer. During the liish (amine, when many died ol hunger, the poor were often found spending their last shilling for tea. and tobacco and spirits. It has also be n often observed bj those c t Reeled with charitable institutions, that when money was paid to the poor, they often laid out every cent in tea or coffee, in stead of procuring ihe mere substantia! food, such as meal, flour and potatoes. On being reproved for this apparent extravagance and improvidence, the reply iu both case? was identical; their own observation bad shown them that a penny's worth of tea or tobacco or liquor would keep off the sense of hungei longer than a penny's worth of anything els© Scientific men express the idea oy saying "Tea, like alcohol, retards the metamorphosis of the tissues in other words, it gives fuel u the flame of life, and thus prevents it frou consuming the fat and flesh ot the body.

ATituKY for Food, Drink and Physic.— Dr. Henry Gibbons, in the San Franeiscc Medical Dress, says that forty years ago tht use of alcoholic drinks was almost universal both as a prophylactic and a remedy. Wher, the public mini in America was directed tc the physical and moral evils resulting from thcii use, a revulsion look place, and physicians generally concurred in abolishing them it health, and employing them sparingly in sick ness. Within the last fifteen years, the tide ii reversed, and alcohol again reigns iu therapen tics. To Kngland is mainly due this counter revolution. Certain London doctors, findinj the atmosphere of that city too much deoxy genized and vitiated for their lungs, recognize) in their wonted brandy an admirable substituti for respiratory oxygen. It was soon dicoverer that alcohol was digested and converted int< flesh and blood, and that it has no equal it restoring the waste of the system. And now that the lancet is abolished, and the gcaera asthenic character of disease maintained, alco hoi steps aloft into its ancient niche, and ii again the“watcr of life.” New York hasten* to imitate Loudon, and the doctors of Gollian inaugurate the reign of whisky, which is now pretty well established again, in and out of tht profession. Even clergymen here, in California go about recommending "whisky and cream!' Verily, if whisky has the virtues ascribed toil by the therapeutics of 18(14. we have no need ol the Panacea of Paracelsus. But we feai that the patronage given it by the faculty wii destroy twenty lives where the mcdicint saves cne. The Soldiers of France and of Ameki ca.— A French writer on military matters, in troduces the following comparison between The soldiers of France and the soldiers of the American Union: “Our soldiers will attempt anything they are ordered; but if they are re pulsed five or six tidies, they say the thing is impossible, and give up in despair; not so the American. He acts upon the idea that he must win ; and every successive repulse only nerves him with greater drlermination and courage for the next trial. The only thing the American aimies want is e(fleers, and in ihe natural course of events, they will get these.” The Vallandigham family entertain feelings of admiration, not to say love, for the negro race in general, the female sex in particular, that is incredible. The race has furnished the slock iu trade and the speech inspiring theme of the Ohio martyr lor a number of years. But the younger members of the family out strip him in their aflections for ihe "poor down-trodden African.” Derley Vallandig ham, "a youth to fortune and to fame un doowo.” but nevertheless a nephew of the great Ohio martyr, is married to and Uvea with a negro woman iu this city.

Keeping Sabbath.— A gentleman travel ing in thenpper part of Napa county cne day stopped to take lunch at a house on the read. Before leaving he had quite a chat with (be owner of the premises, and among other qaea lions inquired how the people in that neigh borhood kept the Sabbath.there being no churches in the vicinity. "For all that,” said the farmer, "we keep the Sabbath—every Sunday—breaking colts, riding around the country, and fishing!"
