Ten Tears Ago.
, • "What a train of reminiscences does " ten
3eara ago " evoke from the sepulchre of
Che past! Forms of beauty and tottering
decrepitude—wealth with its ponderous
pomp, lad poverty in rags of wretchedness.
The bridal dance and the dirge rise upon
<gaemory'ft canvas* as in obedience to the
-wave oí an enduinted sceptre, and it stands
-oat robed i fioral wreaths, or arrayed in
«funeral ctape"—the living, breathing
Lure gallery of the past. Who can
opon it without a shudder, or pause
•mid its corridors without being over-filled
and terror-strickened at the grim and
carricatures that the hand of time
in ten yean.
Oé á soft, balmy moonlight evening in
ihe month of May, 18—, between the hours
of nine and ten, a magnificent cortier of
carriages, phaetons and omnibusses dashed
joyously along one of the roost aristocratic
streets of the Rack City, and drew up be-
fore a palatial mansion, the residence <tf
Colonel B.
It was the bridal ere of his only daugh-
ter, the brilliant and fascinating Laura, to
one of the most taleÉted, wealthy and ar
istocratic young men of the Palmetto
State, Randolph Winston. It wa3 a
glorious evening, consecrated to a holy
'ynion of a noble pair. Marriage is always
pure and sacred ceremony, whether in
the, cot or the palace, but doubly so when
it links in the 44 inseparable oneness" two
sincere hearts as throbbed in Randolph
Winston and Laura Blakely. The guests
were assembled — and in that amenably
were the elite, fashion, genius, beauty and
wealth of two of the first States of the
confederacy. But the cynoseur of every
«eye and the beau ideal of manly grace and
refined beauty, were the pair who stood at
ihe altar, and amid the indiscribabie splen-
dor of the occasion vowed to love and
chérish each other while life shqpld last.
The irrevocable " I will," was pronoun-
ced in a calm, proud, manly «MllÉt hy the
Sips of him whose voice in after-years was
•to sound in restless eloquence in the coun-
cil halls of his country—roll in terrible
^strength above the carnage of battle—and
still iater, to chaunt the ribald sound in
the arsons of Bacchanalian revelry. The
«ase "i will" was that night softly vflrn
physician. I answered in the negative.
"Then,".he wildly exclaimed, " she is gone
—I have killed her. O, God, I am already
damned!n
He raved on for some time in the most
despairing strains.
At-length we asked his name, intending
to call and offer oilr assistance in the
morning towards the burial. He told me
his name and I turned to leave the house,
as it was then getting quite late, but he
implored me so piteously not to leave them
that I could not resist
The little boy soon wept himself to sleep,
and I was left alone by the dim light of
the lamp with Randolph Winston, the
once proud, gifted aBd noble Winston, du
ring the watches of that terrible night.
He detailed to me the history óf his life,
from his marriage to that evening. The
concluding sentence was that his wife was
taken sick the night before, and sent him
out early that morning to obtain medical
aid, but instead of so doing, he got drunk
with the money she gave him—and turn-
ing his blood-shot eyes, he looked full at
me, pointed to the corpse, saying, " you
see the rest," and fell in a convulsivo fit
on the fioor.
We called assistance as soon as practi-
cable—but the golden bowl was broken—
he fell to rise no more.
Dear reader, just ten years from that
night we were th6 groomsman of Randolph
Winston, when he swore to protect, cher-
ish and love the young, lovely and gifted
Laura Blakely. Bat ten years were passed
and'I sat alone in the presence of the mur-
derer and his victim, in a squalid but,
with no hand, save mine, to make their

Sugar and Bi-Sulphate of Lime.
M. N. B. writes ua from Baton
La.;, Nov. 14,1858 :
Having been in the habit of consultip
your " Encyclopedia" in every emérgen'c"
and of studying it somewhat, I- have " *
to notice in it, anything wbjch poin
the bad effects which results from t
free use*of sugar and molasses i a as

indorse his views in relation to " hog meat"
being an efficient cause of yellow fever
-ftmong all persons who use it, white, black
or yellow. In places where negroes are
kept chiefly on a fruit and vegetable diet,
they ara notoiiously exempt from its at-
tacks, even wh$n it prevails epidemically
among their white masters. The following
is the article to which our correspondent
alludes: *
The Bi-Sulphate of Lime. — On the
use of -this article to the extent it is in the
manufacture of sugar, we have on our own
account nothing to say, but giye expression
to a tiie-spread opinion among su^ar-
makers^that it will introduce to the world
some new disease of the stomach which
may assume the epidemic form and baffle
the skill of the learned to trace its origin.
We hear it said that there are plantations
in this vicinity where one barrel of the
bi-sulphate is uséd every day, and is equally
distributed to;jibout eight hogsheads. The
article of sugar produced by the use of
^sulphate looks well, is very white, with,
well defined and regularly formed crystals;
it will bring a better price ih the market
than a darker grade, but whether it will
not produce "diseases of the stomach is a
question
Itjanswer. That lime has a metallic bag
ém demonstrated by Sir H. Davy. Ti
this metal he gave the name of Calci|ira."i,
What is "bi-sulphate oflime?"? Its name
does not indicate its nature—hencelt woais

Before closing this letter, I wish also to
notice one thing more : Until within a few
years no negro nor mulatto 6lave wa= ever
"known to have the yellow fever here; but
in 1853 I think there were some cases^and
more in 1855, and now they seem to be
just as much subject to it as are the
whites. I think there is an opinion obtain-
ing with some, and especially with physi-
cians, and which is predicated on these
facts, that the yellow fever of the present
time is a different thing from the yellow
fever of an earlier date. I heard one phy-
sician remark in '55, in relation to a negro
Of his who was then sick, and who uJ'i-
mately died, that it .seemed to be a true"
case of African fever.
Now, instead of thinking and talking
about a new fever, alias "African feve*-,"
would it not be equally rational to look for
some change in the condition of the slave,
that has made him subject to this disease ?
After much inquiry, 1 think I can poin1,
out such a change. Formerly, and among
the old Spanish and French planters, and
towns-folks, slaves got very little animal
food, and no swine's flesh, unless they stole
it, and the chances for that were very small.
But of late a large immigration from Ten-
nessee, Missouri, Kentucky, and States still
further north, has introduced an entire
change in the feeding of slaves, furnishing
the;o liberally with animal food, and espe-
cially with "hog meat." Is it strange
nd eloquent * those words cont
m of añ immortal truth ; for, like
aters of old ocean, which encircles
obe with its azure "cincture? that
rou? sea has never h$d rest since it
sHed its eternal anthem at Creation's
,!—nor wnl it have until the last loud
f the ArcÍangel'8 trump shall sound
inal redemption of erring man. No
rook-bound shore—no artificial barrier—
can cflfka that boisterous sta; its greats
aVes will forever heave responsive to
■^1 enclose- the.asjBfations^of tha human soul for lib
erty-—the
*' Eternal spirit of the chainless mind.''
£ Negro Rckxing for Representative

to the place of Wm. Chase, resigned,

ult. Neai Dow, the greát temperance and
negro equality champion, and a colored
roan named Peter Francis, were the prin-
cipal competitors. They being but indif-
ferent Candidates, comparatively few votes
were cast; but the people generally pre-
ferred the white man to the Republican of
a dicker shade, and so "temperance and
freedom" triumphed by a majority of 772
votep. IIow NeSl Dow could have con-
scientiously lent himself to defeat so rare
an Ipportuuity for the practical elevation

Whatever stirs this mortal frame,
By conversing with the physicians of
the deceased, we learn thai though his
death is to be attributed to apoplexy, yet,
he had been guilty pf no excess^ As be
sometimes complained of indigestion, there
is no doubt that something he had eaten
not agreeing with him caused irritability bf
the stomach, and this congestion of the
brain. The evening before Lis attack, at
half past six o'clock, he ate an ordinary
light supper, and aftér having passed au
unusually lively evening with his family,
retired about ten o'clock, without complain-
ing. Having been arihkbned in ths morn-
ing by hotvid dreams, líe reatíírked that bis

The same symptom of eioEssiye nervous-
ness had occurred to him last summar at
Philadelphia^ in the suppsr room of the
hotel, when he had to leave the room on
account of the noise. His nervousness

At that time he was engaged in preparin^
and publishing the twentieth volume of
Reports, and was working intensely fourteen
or fifteen hours oat of the twenty-four.
Since his returh home he had also worked
very hard, and sometimes complained of
momentary darting pain£through his head,
but they gave him no uneasiness. That
so slight a cause should* have produced
such a result on a man of his age, vigorous
'constitution^ %pd températe habits, can
only be accounted for by taking t in coo-
nection therewith his habits of excessive
mental labor.
Similar cases have^ot been unfrequent
among persons of sedentary habits and
overtaxed great mental powers. As an
instance, we may méntioh that of Judge
