In a recent number of tho CleTfland ILraldt Mark Twain says : Ex-Secretarv Stanton had an iuter- riew with Secretarj Fish yttcrtlay. Srnmtion 'lUegrani of the A$ie.ciated Prei. . I was present at the interview. The subject of it wan wurb. Ex-Secretary Stanton fcaid that when he wan a boy "he had sixteen on hU left liand and two on hi rijjlit thumb, and one on hia elbow. He haid he ued to hunt for old hollow btump with rain water btandin? in them to Boak hU wartH in. Secretary Fih said he had a million of warts wlien he was a boy, and some times he split a bean and tied it over a wart, and then took the bean and bur ied it at midnight in the cross-roads in the dark of the moon. j Ex-Secretary Stanton said he tried that, but it never worked. Secretary Fish said he could not re member that i worked ; he rcmcm bere4 trvr it a good manv times and in the most unquestioning good-faith.! Ex-Secretary btanton Raid his usual plan was to run a needle through the wart and then hold the end of the nee dle in the candle till it warmed the wart to that degree that it would never take. an interest in the world's follies and vanities any more forever. -r 1 iL: 1 i 5 - i ecretary J? isn Baiu ne utougm ne was the wartiest boy that ever At this inopportune t moment ex- Secretary Stanton's carriage, was an nounced and he aroso and took his leave. The next Associated Press dis patch that distressed the I people through- the columns of every newspa per in America read as follows : The suDiect oi me interview Between cx-Secretary Stanton and Secretary Fish has not transpired. There are various rumors nVing. It is generally believed that it referred to the Alabama question, and was very important. And yet tncy were oniy taming aDout warts ' . Hereafter when I see vague Asso ciated Press, dispatches stating' that Jones called on the Secretary of the Interior last night, or Smith had . an interview with the Attorney-General, or Brown was closeted with the Presi dent until a late hour yesterday even ing, I shall not be so terrified as I used to be. I shall feel certain that they are only talking about warts or something li'kt that They can never fire my interest again with one of those dispatches, unless . they state what the interview .was about., ? .

BT TUE ACTlIOn Of '.TKSt ViaUTB IS A BAB I ROOM.' "I must have it, Charle," aid the J handsome little wife to 3ilr. "Whitman. "So don't put on that sober face." "Did I put on a sober face V" asked tho husband, with an attempt to smile that was anything but a success. 14 Yes, sober as a man on trial for bis life. Why, it's as long as tho moral law. There, dear, clear it up, and look as if you had at least one friend in tho world. "What money lovers you men are 1" "How much will it cost?" inquired Mr. 'Whitman. There was another ef fort to look cheerful and acquiescent. "About forty dollars," was answered, with just a little faltering in the lady's voice, for she knew tho sura would sound extravagant. "Forty dollars 1 Why Ada, do you think I am mado of money?" Mr. Whitman's countenance underwent a remarkable change of expression. "I declare, Charles," said his wife, a little impatiently, "you look at me as if I were an object of fear instead of affection. I don't think this is kind of you. I've only had three silk dresses since we wero married, while Amy Blight ha had bix or seven during the same period, and every one of hers cost more than mine." I know you think me extravagant, but I wish you had a wife like some women I could name. I rather think you'd find out the difference before long. "There pet, don't talk to me after this fashion I 1 11 bnn you the money at dinner t:mo ; that is, if " "No 'ifs' or 'buts,' if you please. Tho sentence is complete without them. Thank you, dear ! I'll go this afternoon and buv the silk, ho don t fail to bring the money. I 'was in at Silkskins vesterdav. and saw one of the sweetest patterns I ever laid my eyes on. Just suits my style and complex ion. I shall be inconsolable if it's gone. You won't disappoint me ?" And Mrs. .Whitman laid her soft, white hand on the arm of her husband and looked with sweet persuasion in his face. "Oh, no. You shall have the money," said Mr. Whitman, turning from his wife, as site thought a little abruptly, and hurrying from her prewnce. In his precipitation he had forgotten tho uual parting kins. That's the way it is always !" said Mrs. Whitman, " her whole manner changing, as the closing street doors came jarring ujon her t-ara. "Just nay money to Charles,, and at once there is a cloud in tho sky." She sat down jKmting and half angry. "For y dollars for a new dress 1" mentally ejaculated tho husband of vain, pretty, tboughtlens Mrs. Whit mVin. as he shut the door after him. "I promised to settle Thompson's coal bill to-dav thirtv-three dollars,- but don't know where the money is to come from. The coal is burnt up, and more must be ordered. Oh, dear! I'm dis couraged. Even year I fall behindhand.- This winter I did hoje to get a little in advance, but if forty-dollar silk dresses are in order, there's an end to that devoutly to be wished for circumstance. Debt, debt, debt! how I have always shrunk away from it ; t steadily, now, it is moving its Bno- rian arms around me, and my restrict ed chest labor in respiration. Oh, if I could but disentangle myself now, while I have the strength of early manhood, and the bonds that hold me are weak. If Ada could see as I see if I could only make her understand my position rightly. Alas! that is hopeless, I fear." And Mr. Whitman hurried his steps, because hii heart beat quicker, and his thought was unduly excited. Not Ion ir after Mr. Whitman left his house, the postman delivered a let- ter to las auaress. xiis who examined the writing on the envelop. It was inj a bold, masculine hand, and said to herself, as sho did so"I wonder who this can be from ?" Something more than curiosity moved her. There intruded on her mind a vague feeling of disquiet, as if the missive bore unpleasant news for her husband. Tho stamp showed it to be a city letter, A few times, of late, such letters had come to his address, and she noticed that he had read them hurriedly, thrust them without remark into his pocket, aud becomo silent and sober-faced . Mrs. Whitman turned the letter over and over again in her hand, in a thoughtful way, and as she did so the image of her husband, sober-faced and silent as he had become for the most of the time, of late ; presented himself with unusual vividness. Sympathy stolciato her heart. "Poor Charles I" she said, as the feehnir increased : VI m airaid some thing is going wrong with him. " Placing the letter on tho mantle- piece, where he count see it wuen ne came in, 3Irs. Whitman entered upon some household duties ; but a strange impression, as of a weight, lay upon her heart a senso oi impending evil ftTacrue. troubled disturbance ot her usual inward seli-satisiaction. ''IS. the thought of Mrs. Whitman re curred, as was natural to the elegant silk dress of which she was to become the owner on that day, she did not feel the. Proud satisfaction her vain x heart experienced a little while before. Something of .its'beautv had faded. "If I only knew what' that letter contained." she said; half an hoar after, it had come in, her mind still feelincr the pressure wliich had come dow;n upon it so strangely, as it seemed to her. ' i w- - .. She went to the mantle-piece, took up'tho letter,- and examined tho 'super scription. Jt gave her-no light Stead- SEPTEMBER 4, '-.'1869.. ily it ' kept growing upon her that its contents wero of a nature to trouble her husband, , 'I "He's been a little mysterious of lato," she said to herself.4, This idea affected her very unpleasantly. "He grows more silent and reserved,' she added, under a kind of feverish excite ment, became active in a new direction, "More indrawn, as it were, and less interested in what goes on around him. HiH coldness chills me at times, and liis irritation hurts me." ' "She drew a long, deep sigh. Then, with an almost startling vividness, came before her" mind, in contrast, her tender, loving, cheerful husband 'of three years before, wul her quiet, sober-faced husband of to-day. "Something has gone wrong with him," she said aloud, as the feeling grew stronger. , ' "What can it bo?" The letter was in her hand. "This may give me light." And with careful lingers she opened the en velope, not breaking the imner, so that she could seal it again if she desired so to do. There was a bill for sixty dollars, and a communication from the person sending the bill. He was a jeweler. . "If this is not settled at once," he wrote, "I shall put tho account in suit. It 1ms been standing for over n year, and I am tired of getting excuses in stead of mV money." The bill was for a ladv's watch, which Mrs. Whitman had almost com pelled her husband to purchase. "Not paid for! Is it possible ?" ex- cxclairned the little woman in blauk astonishment, while the blood mounted to her forehead. Thtn she sat down to think. Light began to come into her, mind. Ah hIio sat thus thinking, a second letter rame in for her husband from the penny postman. She opened it without hesi tation. Another bill and another dun nmg letter! 'Not paid! Is it possible?" She repeated the ejaculation. It was a bill of twenty-five dollars for gaiters and slippers,"which had been standing for. three or four months. "This will never do!" said the awak ening wife "never no, never!" And ct in a resolute way. From that hour she thrust the two Tetters into her pock until the return of her husband at din ner time Mrs. Whitman did an unusu al amount of thinking, for her little brain. She saw the moment he enter ed, that the morning cloud had not passed from his brow, "Here is tho money for that new dresa," ho said, taking a small roll of bills from his vest pocket, and bunding them to Ada, as he came in. Ho did not kiss her, nor smile in the old bright way. But hi voice was calm, if not cheerful. A kiss and a smile would have been more? precious to the voun'' wife than a hundred silk dresses. j She took the money, saying: "Thank you dear! It is kind of you to regard my withes." Something in Ada's voice and man ner caused Mr. Whitman to lift his eyes, with a look of inquiry, to her face. But she turned aside, ho that he could not read its expression. He was graver and more silent than usual, and ate with scarcely on appear ance of appetite. "Come home early, dear," said Mrs. Whitman, as hhe walked to tho door with her husUand, after dinner. "Are you impatient to have . ire ad mire your new silk dress?" lie replied, with a faint effort to smile. "Yes. It will lxj something splen did," she answered. He turned off from her quickly, and left the house. JL few moment she stood, with a thoughtful face, her mind indrawn, and her whole manner completely changed. Then she we at to her room and commenced dressing to go out. Two hours later, and wo find her in a jewelry store on Broadway. "Can I say a word to you? She addressed herself to the owner of tho store, who knew her very well. . ; rm .. If. 1 A , "certainty, no renneti, ana tnev moved to the lower end of tho show cases. long Mrs. Whitman drew from her pock et a lady's watch and chain, and lay ing them on the show case, said at the same timo holding out the bill she had taken from the cnvelopo addressed ' to her husband: "I cannot afford to wear this watch ; my husband's circumstances are too limited. I tell you so, frankly. It should never have been purchased ; but a too indulgent husband yielded to the importunities of a foolish young wife. I say this to take blame from him. Now, sir, meet the.case, if you can do so in fairness to yourself. Take back the watch, and say how much I shall pay you besides. Tho jeweller dropped his eyes to think. The case took him a little by surprise. 'He stood for ntarly a min ute ; then taking the bill and watch, he said" Wait a moment," and went to the desk near by. "Will that do?" He had come for ward again, and now presented her with the receipted "bill. His face wore a pleased expression: "How much shall! pay you?" asked Mrs. Whitman, drawing out her pocket-book. ' -" :v,U .-;-.- "Nothing. The watch is not de faced' .ti'i : . " , "You have done a kind act; sir, said Mrs. Whitman, with feeling trem bling along her, voice. ' T hope you will not think unfavorably of my hus band,,. It's no fault of his that the bill lias not been paid.; (rood morn ing, sir.': -ff. .,.,-.'; Mrs. Whitman drew . her veil over her f ace, and .' went with light steps and a light heart, from the store. The pleasure she" had experienced on re ceiving her. watch was not to be coin- m f v .. a : t e- NO. 3 pared with that now felt in parting with it. Irom the jeweler's she went to the boot-maker's and paid the bill of twentv-fivo dollUK? frmn 4h to her milliner's and settled for her last bonnet. d "I know you're dying to seo my new dress," said Mrs. Whitman, gaily, m she drew her arm within that of her husband, on his appearace that even ing. "Com over to our bedroom, and let me show it. ' Como along ! -Don't hang back, Charles, 'as if you were afraid." t s t , Charles Wrhitman went trith his wife passively, looking more like a man on his way to receive sentence, than in expectation of a pleasant sight. His thoughts were bittei . "Shall my Ada becomo lost to me?" he said in his heart "lost to me in a world of folly, fashion and extrava gance?" "Sit doivn, Charles." She led him to a large, cushioned chair. Her man ner had undergone a change. The brightness of her countenance had departed. She took something in a hurried way from a drawer, and cateh ingupa footstool, placed it on the floor near him, and sitting down, lean ed upon him and looked tenderly and lovingly into his face. Then she'hand ed him tho jeweler's bill. "It is receipted, you see." Her voice fluttered a little. "Ada! how is this? What does it mean?" He flushed and grew eager. "I returned the watch, and Mr. It. receipted the bill. I would have paid ior cxaraage, out no said it was unin jured, and asked nothing." "Oh, Ada!" " "And this is receipted also; and this;" handing him the other bills which she had paid. ' "And now, dear," she added quickly, "bow do you 1 ikd my dress ? Isn't it beautiful?" We leave the explanations and scene that followed to the reader's imairina- tion. If anv fair lady, however, who, like Aoa, lias lxen drawing too heavi ly upon her husland'fl slender income, for silks and jewels, is at a loss to re alize the scene, let her try Ada's ex periment. Our word for it, she will find a new and glad experience in life. Costly silks and jewels may bo very pleasant things, but they are too dear ly bought when they coue at the price of & husband's embarrassment, mental disquietude, or alienation. Too often the gay young wife wears them as the sign of these unhappy conditions. Tranquil hearts and sunny homes, are precious things ; too precious to be burdened and clouded by weak vanity and love of show. Keep this in mind, oh ye fair ones, who have husbands in moderato circumstances. Do not' let your pride and pleasure oppress them. Itieh clothing, costly laces and crems. are poor substitutes for smiling peace and hearts overshadowed by care Take the lesson and live by it, rather than offer another illustration, in your own experience, "of the folly we have been trying too expose and" rebuke. Arthur Magazine. PitEMATCBE Bcbial. A paper in All the Year Bound speaks of the many cases of premature burial which voccur during the prevalence of cholera. It says a r.ong other things that "Dr. Ionde states as an acknowledged fact that patients pronounced dead of chol era have been rejeatedly seen to move one or more of their limbs after death." Sir. bearle, an English surgeon, has often remarked this fact ; and Dr. Veyrat, of the Bath establishment. Aix Savoy, succeeded in resuscitating a young woman after she had apparent ly been dead for nearly .three days. Apropos of -the subject of premature burial, of which many people have a horror not altogether unreasonable, it may be well to state that a French doc tor has recently invented a process by which it may be determined with abso lute certainty whether a person sup posed to be dead is so or not. Bella donna dropped on tho living eye al ways causes dilation of the pupil, while on tho dead eye it has no effect. .A camera with the ordinary photographic paper, which is ruled with delicate lines, is placed over the eye undergo ing examination. The paper is unroll ed from a spindle for ten or fifteen minutes, at the expiration of which time, if no variation in the size of tho photograph of the pupil can be detect ed, the subject is known to be dead. Mahbiaoi:. Marriage is to woman, at once, the happiest and the saddest event of her life ; it is the promise of future bliss, raised on the death of ail nresent enjoyment. She quits her lome, her parents, her companions, her occupations,, her amusements everything on which she has heretofore depended for comfort, ! for affection, for kindness, for pleasure. The pa rents, by whose advice she has been guidedthe sister to whom she dared to impart every embryo of thought and feeling, the brother who has played with her, by turns the counsellor and and the counselled, and the younger childi en , to whom she has heretofore been the , motherand .the play mute, 'all to bo . all forsaken ; at the one fell stroke ; every former tie is loosened, the spring of every hope and action is to bo changed ; and yet she flies with joy into the untrodden path before, .buoyed up -by. the confi dence of requited love, she bids a fond and grateful adieu to the life that ia past, and turns with excited hopes and joyous anticipations of the happiness to: come, Then woe to v the man who can' blight such hopewho can treach erously lure such a heart from . its peaceful enjoyment, and the watchful protection' at home who can coward like, break the illusions that have won her, and destroy the confidence which love had inspirod, .? i.. v- RATES 0 ADVERTISING t MSTteA;Ca Column, tlOOt Hall Column, $59 j Qnattaf Col Transient Adrertii(aint per Sqasre of tea Use or less, firat ia UeYTt rw .

At the io quest' it wss ascertained that ho wat a utranger, whose name and residence were unknown, but ou his hmlywas found silver mark of a Mason, upen which wa engraved as was supposed, the initial of his name. Hit retoatns wera taken charge of by the Masonic fraternity, and wereio tcrrei with the usual ceremonies . and honors of the order. On a more careful examination of Lis body before the hour appointed ior the funeral arrived, it m Raid there was revealed the moat lingular exhibition of Maionic emblems that were ever drawn by the ingenuity of man upon the human kin, and that there ia noth ing in tho history or tradition of Free masonry equal to it. An account of itr which we find in one of our exchanges, says. t ' " Beautifully dotted on 1m left arm, ia red and blue ink, which timo could not efface, appeared all the emblems of the entered apprenticeship. There were the Holy Bible, the square and the cornpags, the twenty-four inch guage and common gavel. There wai the Masonic pavement representing the ground floor of King Solomon's TempJe, tho indented teasel which aurround it, and the blazing star in the center. On hi right arm, and ar tiitically executed in the aame indelible liquid, were the emblems pertaining to the lellow cralt degree, viz: the square the level and the plumb. There were also the fiveordersof architecture thetu3can, doric, ionic, coriuthian, composite. In removing the garments from his tody, the trowel presented itself, with all tbeothcr tools of operative masonry. Over his heart was the pot of incense. On the other parts of his body was the bee hive, the book of constitutions, guarded by the Tyler's sword ; the tword pointing to a uaked heart; the All-seeing eye; the anchor and ark, the hour glass, the scythe, tho forty-seventh problem of Euclid; the sun. moon, stars and comets; the three steps emblematical of youth, manhood and age. Admirably executed was tha weep ing virgin reclining on a broken column, upon which lay the book of constitutions. In her left hand she held tha pot of in cense, the Masonic emblem of tbe immor tality of the soul. ' Immediately beneath her stood winged Time, with his scythe by his side, which cut the brittle thread of life, and the hour glass at his feet, which is ever reminding us that our liven are withering awaj. The withered and attenuated fingers of the Destroyer were placed amid the long and gracefully flowing iiuglets of the diacon late mourner. Thus was the striking em blems of mortality beautifully blended ia one pictorial representation. It was a spectacle Mich as Masons never - saw be fore, and in all probability, such as the fraternity will never witness again. Tho brother's name was never known.! Fall Elections.
