A PLEASANT NIGHT OF IT!
What a very happy period of my Use that wad,
when I wa 5 supposed to be studying Roman law at
j tUe feet of ihe great ProftFsor Mibtermaier at Hed*
j feibe:g. Little did my fond p&rtnts reck the way ic
I which I SDent ccy nighte, or the mad scenes of wh en
I L was sharer amung the feather-brained BurscLen.
j i had only reoenlly quitted Cambridge after four
years of college experience and forgetfulness of
what I bad learned at school, and the- contrast a
Oilman university presented was mret striking.—
Still I took to the new mode cf life very kindly, and
by the time I was able to express my wan’ J and
wishes in fearful broken German, I was perfectly
happy, for life is so pleasant at twenty!
Pernaps, tiioagh, I enjoyed my vacations even
more than I did my terms, for I was my own mas
ter, and could wander wither I pleased. I had a
paesport in my pocket, and a respectable amount
c-f fl jrias, and with knapsack ou back I trudged
through tbe whole of the Biajk Forest, learning
German (of a sort, it ia Due) rapid'y ou tbe road,
a■; meeting with various queer adventurers. One
of the queerest, however, that befel me was in the
Vosges, aud I may as well narrate it here, as anoth

Tuere U only one debc’ connected with A'sace :
when it rains there is no mistake about it. I
was tated to discover this interesting meteorologi
Oal fact at the expense of a thorough welting I
had dined at a liuie village inn on the inevitable
cold vfial and pickle i plums, and when I set out on
uoy jaunt to oiy eight’s quarters, seventeen miles
off, the cloud.-* were beginning to collect ominously
in the west. I buttoned my blouse around me and
trudged manfully onward, along a road which had
n<>t been traversed by a reaped able conveyance
within the memory of man. It was full of ruts hard
enough at first, but which the persistent rain, which
had commenced by this time to fall, convert
ed into so mauy pittalla, ixro which I was continual
ly slipping. To add to my troubles, night set in
With that rapidity pecul ar to Southern Germany,
and there was no sign of the village at which I in
tended to ept-nd the night. Not a creature d : .d I
meet • nobody was foolish enough to venture out
u such weather, save travellers like my
self, and ou I went, making about half a mile an
hour, and growing very ea /ago : whether the re
suit of the wettiug, or of Indigestion, I really cannot
say. My brandy flask had long been emptied ;
tuere was no chance ol filling ii, and I was wearied
—so wearied that I could have laid down to sleep in
a dry t itch, had there been one handy ; but against
that ‘he elements had carefully guarded. There
was no hope for it: I must trudge onward.
Suddenly, through the rain, I faueied I could see
a light glimmering a short dietanoe Irom the road.
I six pped, and looked steadily ; it was no Will o’-
the w*ap, and by a tuiden impu'se I bounded over
■ h *. 1 vw hedge, and went stumbling over a ploughed
u id toward the house, as I now felt certain it was
Up to the present, I had regarded the peasants’ ca
bita with considerable aversi n, and pour cause
they were Ihe dirtie.:t places imaginable, and I had
•no desire to sleep iQ them so 1 >ug as an auberge
c u'.d be foui.d. But now I would have gladly paid
a hand ome sum for the use of a dog-kenud, so long
ai it sheltered me from the pi’ilese ra ; n, and held
out the prospect of a glasc of brandy to warm my
inner man, which stood eo much in need of that re
i eshment.
I ooon approached the cabin, which stood beneath
ihe shade of some gh-omy trees, and the ligh',
which probably came from the fire, burned so dim
ly, that I hesitated ior a moment all appeared so
unutterably wretched about the house, that 1 had a
nervous timidity ab >ut approaching it. I am not
constitutionally fearful. on the contrary, I am
usually too prone to run into foolhardiness; but now,
whether it was the soaking or the veal, I felt horri
bly nervous. Amonueuu however, sufficed to re
cover me, and I walked across tbe yard, and knock
ed boldly at the door. All remained perfectly quiet
in tbe h* use, except that I fancied I could bear the
growling of a huge dog, 1 ke distant thunder; then
1 knocked again somewhat more loudly, and a dog
began barking violently. At the same time, how
ever, I had the satisfaction of hearing footsteps ap
proach the door.
“ Who is without” a voice was heard saying, in
execrable Jewish German ; “ ia it you, Benjamin?”
“ Tis a stranger,” 1 shouted, fearing lest any lies
itation might render my friend inside suspicious ;
“ I want shelter for the night, and will pay you
handsomely for it.”
“ Are you alone V the voice asked again. “Quiet,
Nero! down, dog ! what do you mean by growling
when 1 did not order you to watch him V
“ All alone, but a2 wet as it I had been dipped in
the river.”
“ You’d be clever to keep yourself dry this day,”
he said, as he pulled back the bolts, and opened ihe
door slowly and cautiously. “ Come in—the dog
won’t hurt you when I'm with you. What weather!
Come to the fire, and dry yourself.”
He waited in front of me to the fire, stirred up
the smouldering wood, and threw a lew sticks upon
it All -this while I could notice he was taking
quick, eharp glances at me ; then he went up to ray
kuap-sftck, which I had laid on a chair, appeared to
lee! its weight for a moment, and brought it up to
the fire to dry as well as myself.
“Aud you're hungry, too, I suppose! out for plea
sure, eh? Young blood! young blood!” and he
grinned in a manner to me quite diabolical. He
then went to the table, spread a very dirty table*
cloth, on which he placed a loaf of black bread,
stuck a knife intuit, and then produced a larg*
I green glass jar, containing the much desired flu and.
j After filling an iron suacepan with hot water, aud
putting it on the wood, he quitted the room fora
white. l)urog his absence, 1 surveyed the room in
wlncn I was seated, and the very sight of it made
me uncomfortable. It was quite destitute of furni
ture, contrary to tne usual fashion ot the peasantry,
and I shuddered involuntarily. But nonsense, it
could only be the cold and the moisture the tire was
drawing out of my clothes, aud yet, for ali that, I
began to wisn I had trudged ou through the rain.
And then, that immense dog that lay close to the
fireplace, and kept its small, suspicious eyes fixed
upon me. And the walls were shining with grease
and soot, and the small cupboaidsfixed against
them, arid shelves But, Heaven ! Ic uld hard
ly suppress a cry of surprise when my eye fell on
an old mummy like woman, who rose from the dark
c*rn* r where she nad been sleeping, and
walked‘oward me and the fire. She was a model
of ugliness aud disgust, this old womin, with her
tang>i and masses of grey hair hanging over her fore
head and temples, her sunken cheeks, hollow eyes,
and v rinkled ne<k. as she stood there shivering
with coid, and stretched out her thin bony hands to
the fire. I fell back a step to give the old creature
room, but on my first attempt to quit the chimney
place, the dog growled, and, as 1 turned toward
him, liis eyes sparkled so vividly that I thought it
advisable to stay where 1 was, aud not anger him
uuuecetsaiily. The woman now turned her face to
me, and alter gazing fixedly at me for a moment,
whimpered a few hurried words in a 1 .nguage of
wlift’ii 1 did not understand a syllable.
‘•What a pity,” I thought to myself, “I did uot
understand a little Hebrew.” I then looked care
fully at the old woman, trying to find out from her
gestures what she really meant. Again she began
her whispering, turning her head timidly toward the
door, ana pointing at the same time to the table.
“leant micerstand you l” I said, in the usual
pa hos, hoping she would understand me at. any
ate.
•'Hushl” he erdne sa : d, quxkly and fearfully,
holding up Ler fiLger in waning; at this moment
the doer opened, and the Jew, on seeing the old
woman by icy side, went up angrily to her, and
spoke harshly in the same unknown tongue. The
woman timidly away, wrapped herself more
closely in her old cloak, aud lay down again in her
corner. Tne Jew ihen said, pleasantly enough, to
me.
‘•D;?n’t bother about the oid girt. she is quiet and
uarinleen, but net quite right here,” he said, point
ing to his forehead. ’‘When we’re a'oue, I let her
do much he she likes, but when etreegers visit tc“,
whioh is Beldotn enough, s: e must keep in her cor
ner Hut here,” he added, in a louder voice, “i*j
something for you to eat—breed and Munster
cheese I lately brought from Strasbourg, and a
fninous glass of brandy, which will do you more
good, I fancy, than ail the rest • the wa:er will be
not by ibis time. Ah, I see its boiling, and 111 mix
>ou glass of punch m ihe meanvvhiie. So, now,
go 10 the table aud begin.”
I was really almost atarvirg, and yet I couidnot
swallow anything. That confounded dog had h.a
eyes still fixed so dangerously upon me.
•The dog won t hurt you/’ said the Jew, calmly
“he is ouiy cot accustomed to strangers.”
‘ But if I had stirred while you were out of the
room, he would have sprung at me,” I said, rather
angrily
- It’s an old dog. the man continued, with a smile,
“and hasn't a tooth left in his head. but he often
pretends to be savaze. The time is long past since
he bit any one, and you can go up and pat him, and
he won't say a word.”
However, l did not feel the slightest inclination
to try the experiment; I therefore proceeded to tha
table and cut a hunch of bread and cheese, while
the old Jew stooped down to the fire, and after
shaking something out of a paper into the gla.se,
poured the water upou it.
“There!” he said, as he came to the table, “now
put in as much brandy as you like, but the suffer the
better, for it will keep you from catching cold.”
What have you put in the glass, my friend?”
I asked, as I held the glass to the fire.
“Sugar and water , the sugar is good, and takes
off the strength of the brandy.
“I’m not so fond of sugar, ’ l replied, suspicious
ly : “and it you've no objection, rll mix for my
self ’
“Not like sugar’ why it's the best part of it,”
said the “only taste it, and you'll soon see how
good it Is.”
However, I persisted iu throwing the mixture
a wav. acd, after carefully washing the glass out, I
filled it atresh with water, and poured in some bran
dy.
More, my friend—more,” the Jew advised me ;
that’s not half enough, aud wont draw the cold cut
of your ii nbs. Why. my oid woman will drink
stronger punch, if I give it to her/’
“Tnanks thanks!” I said, as I turned away the
bottle, from which the Jew persisted in pouring
more into my glass. “I'm cot accustomed to strong
drnks, and shall have a headache to-morrow morn
ing.”
•Ob! to-morrow I'll guarantee you against that,”
the old mac laughed to himself; “the brandy is capi
tal. and no ene has a kt-adache from it.”
I really felt such a shiver come over me at there
words (though, < f course, I ascribed it to my wet
clothes,) the brandy really tasted so good, that
I took up the glass and emptied .t at a draugtt. By
Jupiter how it burned!
• And now you had better lie down,” the Jew said,
after removing the brandy and other tilings from
.Lee table; “it iS late in the night, and after your
keeping draught, you will sleep sound in spite of
your bard bed. The best place for you wid be here
by the fire. Before we go to bed I’ll put on some
fresh wood, aud by the time that is burnt out you’ll
be warm enough. The nights are beginning to
grow lresh.”
1 was glad encu2h to lie down, so I took up my
knapsack, which had dried a little by this time, to
serve as a piiiow, and the old man brought me a
biatket and a sheepskin, regretting that he had no
thing oetter to . ffer me, but all his beds were occu
pied. “But I’ll bring y- u something to keep your
eet warm,” he added, “that’s the chief thipg, and
by the morning you 11 be aU right agai * With
these word* be took a canvas sack, which appeared
to me to be ominously stained, from the chtmney
po>A. and then, bringing it to my feet (for I had
lain down by this time), requested me to put them
in it.

“Oh! yen'll see how warm that will keep your

I “No, I’d rather lay it over them ; that wiil'answer

• “Not half to goed, I tell you,” the old man c.on

] l strenuously resisted. There was s mething so
| dangerous, in my in knowing my feet were
I 1q a sack, which I could nos easily remove in the
j :nrk, ii I were obliged to spring “bp in a hurry. If
J
I feel uncommon uncomfortable (I may tell you So in
I- trict confid nee.) What on earth reason could he
have far insisting on my putting my feet in the
j >ack. However, when the Jew found that I WiS
obstinate, he laid the sack over my feet, and went
back to the fire instead of retiring to bed es I had
expected, &Dd sat croee legged, staring fixedly into
■be flame. Well, I shot my eyes and tried to. go to
sleep, but somehow 1 c*>u and not manage it; the fir
burned low, and I could see the old fellow still
sitting there, bull felt that his eyes were fixe 1
upon me. and that he was watching my every
movement, every breath. Why ? I lay thus for
half an hour, and the strangest feelings came over
me. Then I had a curious taste in my inout*i-*-the
brandy, of course, bu; whv was it so metalic ? And
my bead began to go rouud, and my eyelids grew
heavy as lead. At last, I could stand it no longer
and determined to jump up; but I was unable to do
so ; my limbs refused me tueir service, a veil seem
ed to be let d* wn over ny eyes, and I felt L;at a
aee , irrts;stible sleep wa3 overpowering me.
How long I lay in this sort of halt dreaming con
dition I do not know, although I struggled against
this unnatural st.: te with w> the strength of my
mind, and should finally have yielded to it had not
a slight sound just at the right moment come to my
aid in resisting it. Tue Jew who was still seated
at the fire, moved, gently ana noiselessly, it is irue;
itill he got up, end now stood with his face turned
oward me. I tried to close my eyes, and dispel the
odious vision which my fancy seemed to summon
up, but at that moment I felt the light, craw ing
.-.tepa of the old man on the floor, felt lhat he was
drawing nearer and nearer, and when I half opened
ray eyes, coutiousl/*enough lest the scowling fellow
might aee I was awake, I saw him standing a few
paces from me, with his body half bent to listen, j
and w’atcbing my every breath. What was he
about I —what did he warn ? Should I j imp-up and
ueethim, in case be a tern ted lo attack me /—but
then the dog, which’was stili lying iu the room ?
And agsin, was the Jew really going to a*tack me,
*r migtit it not be anxiety whether I slept comfort
ably / I determined to wait and judge for myself,
even at the risk of exposing myself to his attack,
for 1 v*. as your g and strong, and if the old man de- 1
signed evil he should meet with e resistance he lit
tie anticipated. in order to leave the old man
at leisure to carry out his designs, whatever they
might be, I began breathing loudly and regularly,
while watching him carefully through my half closed
eyelids.
The Jew remained for a while observing me, aa
if to make sure that my sleep was real; but then,
aa if every doubt were removed, he crept quietly
back to the chimney, threw pome brushwood oil
the glimmering charcoal, which to glisten
and crackle, and went to the opposite end of the
room, where the crockery was kept. Anxiously l
watched him ; but I must confess my bl od appear
ed to stagnate, and au icy feeling ran down my
back, when I saw him take up a long gleaming
knife, aud while trying its edg? witn his thtifilb,
-•eeiii to metis ore the distance between himsdt and
his victim.
As I have told vou before, I believe 1 am any
thing but aco ward ; I have et od behind a four sot
barricade aud looked tip into ihe gaping muzzles of
the cannon aa thqy poured a shower of builets o
.our slight defences, but I am bound to say that the
present was the moat uncomfortable moment in my
iife. The calculating villainy of the old scoundrel
and the simplicity with wlcckl had entered the
snare, seemed to render escape almost impossible.
Btili 1 made up my m.ndto sell my ifo aadearly as
possible. Fortunately I had in my pocket a Span
ish spring-back stiletto, generally'em ployed in the
peacetul duties of cutting bread and cheese—Ger
nan and French knives being made, like Peter
Piodar’a razors, to eel! and not to cut—and I cau
tiously moved my hand to my breast pocket, and
noiselessly drew it out. When I once bold it iu ray
baud, my confidence returned to me. I opened it
very quietly, and then laying my left arm across my
breast, to parry the first blow, which would proba
bly beamed there, I held my knife firmly clutched
in my hand, and awaited the attack with ground
teeth but no failing determination. My he* rt,
> hough, would beat so loudly and so viol utly, that
I feartd the Jew’ must Iwar it but when I saw him
approaching, wiih the knife cautiously held behind
his back—when I felt his foot against my own—
when he bent over mo, and felt along the wall wiih
his left hand, to find a spot on which to rest it and
give his blow more certainty, my tears entirely dis
appeared. It ia a w ell known fact that danger real
ly exists only so long as it threatens us, and it is
robb.-d of more than half its terrors when it breaks
over us with uudi mini shed force. This whs just my
case. I had felt ferrified, and could hardly struggle
Hgainßt the feeling, so long as the dauger was draw
ing nearer and nearer to ne, but every though’,
save that of self-defence, disappeared when I knew
that the knife was directed against my heart. So
soon as he struck at me, I determined to parry the
blow by means of the left arm, and the blanket ly
ing it would afford me great protection ; but
then I would start up and bury my kuife-in the viU
liau'a rib3, before he could recover from his surprise
or summon the dog. I should soon be able to over
come the weak old man, and, as for the brute, once
on my legs, I dare say I oould keep him from doing
me any injury.
Such was my line of thought, aud 1 was quite pro
, pared to carry it into effect. But why ilia the J<. w
hesitate so long ? He bad advanced his left foot*u
little, his arm was still supported against the wall,
yet, be did not raise his other arm to strike the
blow. Was he afraid ? I bit my teeth more close
ly together, and almost longed tor the decisive mo
ment Income, so excited did I feel—anything,
sooner than endure tins horrible suspense. Sud
denly t e Jew drew back; ha did not strike at me
—hisleftfrarm quitted the wall, and he held in it—l
hardly knew w hether 1 was awake or dreaming—
the sume loaf from which I had previously been
eating. He walked wiih if, to'tke fire, cut off a
hunch with the fearful long knife, laid the remain
der ou the chimney-board, au i, a ter poking up the
wood fire Jill it threw a brilliant light over the
room, he began quietly eatrag, without troubling
himself any further about joy pi eseuce
I drew a deep breath—it was as if a large stone
had been rolled iff my cheat—and I lay for p„ long
wh le in a sort of dreamy condition, hardly able to
realise this a ate of perfect security following close
ly on the danger which I had fancied eo shortly be |
tore had menaced me. I really began to feel j
ashamed of the cruel it justice l had done, though )
onl/ in thought, to a man who had so hospitab y ,
entertained me; and I almost felt inclined to jump \
up aid tell h.in of my foolish suspicions. But no, j
that would not do—he would laugh at me ; still I (
felt I mu3t do something, if only to reconcile my !
own cooßcience. I, therefore, shut up my knife as (
quietly a3 possible, returned it to my pocket, and *
then, pietending to wffke from a deep sleep, I
threw off the blanket, fcmk the sack, and put my
feet quietly into it.
“Aha!” chuckled myho3t,who ou hearing my
movement, turned bis head quietly toward me;
“one’s feet generally get cold of nights, if they kavo
been wet during the day; but the aack will keep
them warm enough.”
“I thick so, too. I fancy it will be better so.” I
replied ; then fell back ou my somewhat hard pil
low, drew the blanket up Jo my chin, aud in a few
seconds had fallen into a deep and sweet sleep.—
When I the next morning I found tnat the sun
was high iu the heavens, and on the table a eomtor
table breakfast had been laid. A pretty l’Utlc g'rl
was tidying the room, and her presence really ren
dered it quitecheer.nl.
“So, tir,” she said, good humouredly, “you are
awake at last. Uncle did not like to disturb you
1 am sorry, though, you had no better bed than
this, but I only came home last night from Stras
bourg on a visit, aud we had all gone to bed for the
night.”
i tie old Jew now came iu and gave me a hearty
welcome. 1 hardly had the heart to look him in tbe
face I was then forced to sit down to the break
fast table, at which the old man’s son, a fine young
fellow of twenty-four, joined us. Hearing from him
that he was going back with his light cart to Stras
bourg that morning, I willingly. & cepted his offer
of accompanying him. I had had quite enough of
adventures for this bout, and, besides, sundry rheu
matic twinges told me that I ought riot to venture
away ro far fr m civilization, left I might be laid
on my back in a rustic village, aud ray moUrniog
relatives never lerrn where they should set up a
cenotaph to my memory.
Wiieu tbe light cart came up to the door, I in
quired what I hud to p*y; but the old Jew could
uot be induced to accept a farthing for the accom
modation. Bed and bre&k east, he said, had both
been poor enough ; and I shook his hand hear lily
upon ieaviug him. And, upon my honor, iu tbe
bright sunshine, he wasn’t half such a bad looking
old fellow. There was something quite patriarchal
about him
Now, I dare say, you’ll all laugh very heartily at
my story, and fancy I must have been a great cur
to let myself be frightened by an old man ; hut
really, even now, in writing it, I nave had an un
comfortable feeling crawl over me at the reminis
cenee. Ii s many years since it happened, and
not much prospect of my having any more
adventures of that ora similar nature and, be
tween ourselves iu strict confidence, raied—l prefer

mg . pect of affairs iu the West was occasioned by
having o long p. rmitt’ and Spain to break her treaty
engagements end to continue Cuba as a provoca
tive of dangerous extreineties. If Spain would at
once give up the Slave trade and convert Cuba into
a c.oloi.y for employing tree African labor, the de
sire winch mauy per-ons in the United State had
expreiKOd tu annex the island wouidbe removed.
Lord Bn ngteuu supported the petition, aud
strongly condemned the policy of Spain.
Earl Malmesbury deeply regretted that t''e ef
fects of England to suppress lbs slave trade had not
been seconded by other nations. With regard to
ilie laie unhappy differences, he had admitted to
the American government, as a question of interna
tionai iaw, that England was n t entitled to insist
upon thb iiglr o. search ; but had also put it strong
ly to tbe American government, whether they
would continue to pe, nut the ti-.g t • be p ostitu-ed
to the worse of purpose) ; and he had urged the ne
cessity of ocean police, and that some understand
ing should be come to bctvveeu the diflerent mari
time nations, which would enable the nationality of
vessels to be olearly.cverihed withgut any danger of
a breach of intertionai law. He had every reason
to believe, from a conversation he had had with the
American Minister, that soma Huch arragemart
might become to. With regard to Spain it was
nulorious that hitherto the moral support which she
hfid received from England had materially aided
her in resisting the wishes!’ the United States to
annex Cuba ; but if she still persisted iu supporting
the elave trade, it was highly probable that the
present cnxl tyot Great, Britain would be exchang
ed for indifference.
K rl Gray was sorry tiiere should be any attempts
to renew tip slave trade. He thought the United
States ana Franco solely responsible for the renew
al. With fee rd to the question of iDtertional law,
eo far qa hs understood i , au American vessel tided
with slaves might leave Africa without England be
ing able to interfere with her, notwithstanding a
perfect knowledge of her character.
Earl Aberdeen said this definition of intertionai
law was quite correct.
Other peers spoke on the subject, when the peti
tion was ordered to lie on the table.
In the Commons a further debate took place on
the India resolutions, when it was agreed to that
ihe government should withdraw remaining resolu
tions and introduce a regular India bill, which waa
forthwith done, and the debate was fixed for the
following week.
Mr. Berkeley aaked whether, seeing that the ma
rines and Binai! armed nr nos the American navy
are armed wiih breech-loading rifles, by which a
man can fire three times for onco for an'opponeut
armed with the old weapon, any steps had been
taken to place the naval force of Great Britain on
au equality.
S: J. Puokingtou said.the trials were going on,
ami that when the result W 33 ascertained measures
wou'd be adopted in accordance with them.
Ou the IBth iiiat., in the House of Lords the pro
ceedings Were unimportant.
Iu the House of Commons Mr. Fitzgerald, iu re
ply to an inquire whether the plenipotentiaries to
Jh'ua had been restricted iu their powers, said there
was no truth iu the statement to that effect. The
plenipotentiaries had full discretionary power to
negotiate at Canton di Pekin, or proceed north, as
they thought fit.
Debate then took place on the American imbro
glio.
Mr. Fitzgerald, in reply to Mi. Bright, stated
that the government had received no further infor
rnation iu reference to the alleged outrages. It was
quite possible that the commanders of some vessels
had exceeded their duties ; aud if they had, the gov
ernment would be ready to make an ample aud
frank acknowledgment. “ It was obvious that the
eases which had been published were grossly exag
gerated. In proof of this he read several cases, aud
added that the American flag had been abused by
those who Were iiof Americans for the vilest purpo
ses. He had entire confidence that when theso cir
cumstances were known, and when the disposition
of this country was known, all the difficulties would
be amicably arranged. The government, acting
under the advice of the Crown lawyers, had given
op the right of search aud of visit in time of pea e;
but the government had invited America to join in
maintaining an ocean ooiice. It was under consid
eration wnetber the fquu'iron should be withdrawn
from the Cuban waters and replaced n the coast
of Africa, and sringem instructions lie’ been sent
to comma ders of cruisers, enj-aniug the strictest
prudence aud cuuriou. -
Mr. Roebuck thought the statement of Mr Eitz
! erald most conciliatory and satisfactory, but the
disposition had not been imitated by America
The language used in the American Congress was
uuworihy of a great country. They had always
assumed that England wished to insult them, but
he hoped they would no w learn that she had no such
desire. Lies had been told in the American papers
lor the purpose of pa’ndering to bad habits, aud he
would not bellieve that the commanders had done
anything to oall for the censure of our own govern
ment.
Lord Johu Russell said if the government eon
ducted the ass fir iu the temperate spirit manifested
by the Under Secretary, there could be no doubt
that the House of commons would hesitate tor a
! moment lo give them its support.
; Lord Palmerston said the cruisers had been sent
into tbe Cuban waters iq consequence of the wishes
of Par iameut and of deputations to the govern
ment, and also iu compliance with the wish of the
American government themselves- He hoped her
Majesty s government would urge the American
government to send out cruisers to prevent the
abuse of the flag of the United States, which had
been the cause of the difficulty.
Mr. Disraeli said that the best despatch that could
be sent to America was the calm and dispassionate
spirit in which the House of Commons was discuss
ing the question. He added that the American
government had been invited to engage in mea
sures to protect coun'ry sgains* abuses of its
fiag. He had confidence that tbe existing miscon
ceptions woutd_speedily disappear He was not
annojed i t American ships of wi.r being sent into
Cuban wate s,Tie use they would there see for
themselves what had taken place
The subject was then dropped.
The and -bate in the House of Lords on the slave
trade attracts the general attention of the press.
The Loudon Times says :—“ At the present time
itfia evident that the struggle against the slave trade
has reached an important crisis. It hangs on a
thread whether the policy of England during the
last thirty years shall be abandoned or retained
The three States which, from their present power or
their foimer prosperity, have the least share in the
matter, are manifestly at issue with Euglai d.” It
then proceeds to argue that the United States and
France are equally guilty with Spain, and says it
wijl never do to attempt coercion with weak Spain,
and at the same time wink at the delinquencies of
the more powertul Stares.
The London Poet argues that England has done
i*s du ! y m tne matter, and that it rest with the peo
ple o. tne Ui iled States to say whether they will do
theirs.
The London Daily News, on the subject, urges
the cultivation of c tton in Africa as the best solu
tion of the difficulty.
The London Tunes ou the 19th, in a ISader, con
gratulate! the government on having taken the ad
vice ot tlie law tffieers of the Crown, whose decided
opinion is that by international law we have no
right of search—no right of visitation whatever in
time of peace. Upon that opinion Lord Derby and
his colleague* are prepared 10 act by the law of na
tions. No English cruiser has the smallest right to
interfere with any ship bearing the flag of the Uni
ted 8 ales, save in so far a3 that righf has been con
ferred by treaty. Th.-y will, therefore, withdraw
the blockading squadron from the Cuban waters,
and the’ e is an end of our differences with the S.ates
upon this disgraceful subject.
The London Morning Herald *ays therp is an
augmenting absorption of money for trading put pos
es, and that the evidence of this is fully afforied by
ihe character of the paper which is passing through
the hands of the bankers and discount brokers, par
ticularly that received from Liverpool and Man
chester in London. Business prospects are also
spoken of with more confidence, and the favorable
state of the weather will assist to encourage trans
actions.

Fully one-third of the average of the year crowded

that some ram guages showed inches of rain on

Tbe slave owners of Kent county, Md., have,
within a year or two, suffered heavy losses by the
running off of slaves, not less than six’y having
escaped in 1856 and a large number since These
mysterious escapes created no little excitement

Mona. Belly’s fientr i! American Diplomacy—
An Important ‘Treaty.
Mods. Belly has anived at New-York from Cen
tral America, and according to the Tribune his
gasconade on the one hand, and the old transit com
pany wi # th is new treaty on the other, have been
completely out-generaled by Com Vanderbilt, who
has made a personal treaty with Nicaragua, hack
ng it with a loan of $ 100,000 from his own pocket,
and has thereby secured to himself a monopoly of
the transit route for a term of years. This announce
ment the Tribune makes on the authority of a re
liable correspondent, who writes:
A gasconading French adventurer, one Monsieur
Belly, has been amusing the word by promising to
build a ship-canal through Nicaragua. The Nica
raguan government, whom M. Belly thought he was
buyiog, have, on tlr* c ntrary, egregriously Sold M.
Belly and his backer-, if has any, by requiring the
joint guaranties of Croat Britain aud the U. States
tor a contract that admits a naval occupation of
Lake Nicaragua by French war steamers! Great
Britain would herself rather go to war w ith France
roan suffer a military oc upai ion of Nicaragua by
that power, and the United States would sooner go
to war with England and France together than per
mit it.
The government of Costa Rica and Nicaragua,
the two humbugging parties to the Belly gasc made,
are perfectly aware of the disposition and intentions
of our own government in regaid to the military
occupation of Nicaragua by a foreign power. As
a pruot of what X state, I need only assure you of a
fact of which the original documentary evidence
lies before me at this moment, that only a few days
before the signing of M. Belly’s papers, the N oara
guan government had concluded a secret ugreement
with the agent of Cornelius Vanderbilt, by which
the entire transit is made over to hiui, ihe canal
company's charter having been first formally re
voked for incapacity and non fulfi lment, and the
field cleared for its successor.
The agent and coi respondents of the canal com
pany did succeed for a time in impressing the gov
ernmeutof Nicaragua with a fear, if not a belief,
that Vanderbilt's interests were not with them, and
that ho would never again, under any conditions,
open the transit route. The arguments which they
brought to bear upon the Nicaraguan government
were paper arguments, which all the tact and
knowlege of Vanderbilt’s agent were employed in
overthrowing. In order, however, to remove every
shadow of doubt upon this subject, Vanderbilt, af
ter jrigning the contract with Nicaragua, has com
plied with its first condition by remitting a large
loan in specie to the Nicaraguan government, which
must be by this time in their possession. If the
line jp not opened in ninety days a forfeiture of the
loan ($100,000) will be the result
We can now understand the policy of the Nicara
guan government in opening negotiations with a re
puted agent of French capitalists. The contract
provides that the Belly ship - anal shall be corn
in’ uced in two years from date of negotiations.—
The contract with Vaudeibill demands that the
line shall be opened in ninety days.
The Belly contract is for a tiiip canal but does
not concede a right of transit by laud, lake and
river; the present Vanderbilt contract is a transit
charter for the immediate conveyance of passen
gers, 61 0., by lake and river steamers and land car
nage on the Isthmus.
This charter to Vanderbilt will necessitate and se
cure the sending on of the Cass Yrissarri treaty, or
a document from the Nicaraguan goverumet giving
full power to the goveinm* ut of the United States
to protect its commerce anu its citizens by force of
arms in Nicaragua, if necessary.

to Potsdam “oni poivant business,” i. e. drilling
and manoeuvring L bi gade of Guards; but he had
scarcely been absent, a few hours when he was re
•’ailed to Berlin by a telegraphic despatch from the
Piincees, begging him to return immediately. He
hastened back in the utmost alarm, fancying some
thing dreadful had happened, and was quite relieved
by her receiving him in her usunl health and spirits,
only stating, when questioned why she had sen for
him iu so violent a hurry, that she “ had felt such a
longing to see him again “ end besides,” she add
ed, on her husband’s remonstrating with her for

“mamma alwa\s t-legraphs lor papa when she
want * him.” ‘i bis reference to what her mamma
does, the little Princess considers a sufficient justifi
cation for any offence she may commit against the
starch etiquette of the PrUftisn court. One day
she put on her bonnet and walked across the street
to her father-in-law’s without even a footman be
hind her, to the inexpressible horror of her Obuthof
meuteririy duenna in chief, who exclaimed that no
Prussian prince s had ever been guilty of such a
breach of decorum. “ But does so at Os

do eg, why should n 11 ?” Her affabi i’y and good
nature have made ber generally popular, though
she almost raised a rebellion in the kitchen lately-by
insisting that ihe female dojocstics should all wear

aoly proud of their hair, and never think of putting
on a cap for fear of spoiling their luxuriant tresses.
Great was the commotion, therefore, when the
Princess issued her orders to that effect; but, the
little lady was inexorable. “Iu mamma’s establish

must iu mine.” Since *be departure ot the mother

Farther from Utah—Evacuation of Sale Lake
Confirmed.
By the arrival of the steamer Senator trom the
South, we have very late and important intelli
gence from Utah. The news received by last mail
of the evacuation of Silt Lake-City by the Mor
mons, ia corroborated by a sou of Gen. Hunt, for
merly member of the Assembly of California, who
arrived at Sin Bernardino on the 20th May, per
formrag the trip from the former place in the un
preoedentedly short space ot twelve days. We have
accordingly intelligence from Salt Lake up to the
Bth inet. At that time Gov. Cumming had been iu
the City for several days, and the authority of the
U! ited States held undisputed sway. Gen. Johnston
desired to advance with the army under his com
mand, but was informed that the Mormons had left
Salt Lake, but Gov Cumming objected for some
reasons, the nature of which we are at psesent un
a quainted with. It is reported that a difference of
opinion arose between the two officers as to the
course to be pursued by the troops, Gcd Johnston
stating his orders required him to take up his quar
ters in Salt Lake, but at the time Mr. Hunt lelt the
army still irarrisoned Forts Bridger and Supply.
To Mr E D. Knigbt, who has resided several
mouths at Sau Beiuardiuo, and who arrived in the
Senator, we are indebted for the following addition
al information: The object of Mr. Hunt s visit to
San Berdardiuo was to obtain the truuks and other
property of Col. Kine, the reputed agent of the go
veminent, which were left with Mr. Hanks, a Mor
mon. when be passed through, eu route for Utah
Mr Hunt, who nude only a stay of one day, and
who was provided with relays of mules, stated that
Brigham Young, with his followers were at Provost
City. A few Mormons remained at Salt Lake to
lake care of the crops, whioh, in a short time, would
be iu a condition to cut down. Gov. Cumming was
received with cordiality and fouud affairs in a bet
ter condition than he expected. No property was
destroyed; the city was in no raauner injured.—
Th ee parties of Mormons had been despatched on
surveying expeditions; all in a southerly direction
Brigham Young had selected, it was stated, anew
res’deuce, a tract of country hitherto unexplored,
lying between the old Spanish trail to New Mexico,
mid the central route. It is said that this territory
is fertile and that it is the intention of the Mormon
leader and his people, or as many as will accompa
ny him, to stay there sufficient time to raise a crop,
and to deliberate and come to a conclusion as to
their future movements.
From the above information concerning the latest
movements of the hostile parties, it is evident Brig
ham Young and his satellite*, dreading the result of
a conflict with the Uuited States, have abandoned
Salt luko. and now shelter themselves, for the pre
sent, at Provost city, from the consequences of their
rebellion. The movements of Young, and the sur
veying parlies having gone south, strongly indicate
that it is ther intention at no distant day to make an
inroad into Mexioo, and there establish themselves.
It may now be considered certain that Sonora or
*ome adjoining State will be selected as t heir future
residence. It may be mentioned that it is believed
in some quarters, that the evacuatiou of Salt Lake
is the result of Col Kan* ‘s mission.
Instinct of Locality in Animals and Birds
—The instinct of animals, in many oases, is ac
knowledged to equal reason, if not to surpass it.—
Numerous anecdotes of this faculty are recorded,
irom White’s Selborne down. The instinct ot lo
cality is one more or less familiar to every obser
ver of nature. Whoever has bird houses about the
house must have suspected that the same wrens and
martins come, year after year, to build in the same
olace. We know of a lady, who, desirous of test
ing this, selected a blind wren from several who
built about tier dweilling, and was careful to notioe,
the Spring following, if he returned, whioh he did.
Iu the C'ty of Reading, in this state, is a barber,
who had erected several large bird boxes, which, in
lime, came to be inhabited by hundreds of mar
tins who, with their children, resorted thither annu
ally. One year he moved across the street, taking
with him his bird-boxes. When Spring returned,
the flocks of martins came back, but not to their
new locality. They flew, as usual, to the old one,
where they remaiued for a whol day, restless, and
lost, though the boxes were only across the street.
At last, however ih y were induced to enter their
old homes, shitted to the new locality ; and, now
year after year, the martins return, blacking tie
air at morning and eveniug, as they leave and re
t urn to their nests.
Au even more curious anecdote of the instinct of
locality, has come to us from a highly veracious
quarter. In the town of Franklin, in Venango
county, once lived a gentleman who was fond of
bees. One morning he observed tour toads silting
just below his hive. The uext day the same
toads were there, grave and solemn as sphinxes
b fore an Egyptian temple. One waß black;
another bright colored; a third blinn ; a fourth
marked in some other distinguished way. Think
ing they annoyed the bees, and seeing they perti
naciously preserved their position day after day, he
put them into a basket , carried them across the A1
ieghany, and left them at the top of a bill. Wnat
was his surprise, three weeks after, to find them at
their old po>t, as grave and solemn as ever T Again
be removed them, taking them this time in a diffe
rent direction, and leaving tnem at a point much
further off. In aboutsix weeks, however, they were
back for the asecond time. A neighbor, to whom the
incident was told, nd was incredulous, next tried
to lose them. But in a few weeks the toads were
seen one morning, entering the garden, under the
leadership of one of their number, who gave a
“ cheep, cheep,” looked back for his suite, and then
hepped on, followed by the rest, until he reached
his old station under the bee hive, where he grave
ly took up his quarters.
Everyone tamiliar with the woods, k owe how
easily a wild bee can be tracked to its hive in the
forest If you take fur bees from a city hive, carry
them to as many points of the compass within any
distance that can be mausged in an afternoon’s
drive, and then let them tree, each bee will soar up
into air, and afterward shoot, as straight as an ar
row, in the direction of its home, where, in due
time, you will find it again. The instinct of dogs
and horses, in finding their way back to their ken
nels and stables, when their owners, though endow
cd with reason, are hopelessly lost, has been proved
by too many well authenticated instances to be
doubted. The observation ot instinct would be a
pleading and instructive recreation ; and it is sur
prising that more persons do not devote their atten
lion to it. To those living in the country the oppor
tunities are so frequent, that the neglect of them
seems little short of a crime. A man is always bet
ter for being brought into sympathy with the brute
creation. The study of the habits of animals and
birds enlarges the heart and gives breadth to the
intellect, as well as stores the memory with a vast
variety of curious and instructive facts. Audubon
was as single hearted and reverent as he was wise
and entertaining.— Philadelphia Ledger.
The Yucatan Slave Trade. —As Africans and
Coolies do not reach Cuba in sufficient numbers to
supply the current demand for plantation labor,
the importation of Yucatan Indians has recently
commenced in good earnest. A late Havana arri
val announces the receipt of 172 such “apprentices”
on the island. Os course they are to be held as es
sentially slaves as ever the coolies were in the same
quarters—worked harder and oared far less than the
Africans held there in avowed slavery for life, it
being a? clearly the interest of those working them
lo get out of them as much labor as possible at as
little cost as possible, as it is for the interest of the
owner of the African slave to look closely to his
health. the preservation of his BtreDgtb, and to his
reproduction.— Wash. Star.
Founder in Horses —Take a table spoonful of
pulverized alum, pu 1 the horse’s longue out of his

bad the fouuder—he will be fit for moderate ser
vice. I have ee*m this remedy tested so often, with
perfect success, that 1 would not make five dollars

Railway Accident*.— Under the direction of
the French Government, a voluminous report on
railways has been prepared and published by a com

that, while in England, between the years 1840 and
1855, the number es killed and wounded by railway
accidents amounts to 7,106, and in France, from
1815 to 1854, the number amounts to but 1,269, vet,
rasing into account the whole number of travelers,
the proportion of Eogl sh sufferers is less than that
ot tbe French. The proportion of killed is as fol

conclusively that the worst of these steam and rail

Police Regulations In Cuba—Genteel Robbe
ries, Ac.
We take the following from Jhe Havana corres
pondence of the Savannah Republican
A circular has been addressed to the various
Lieutenant Governors of the Island, which is al o
gether too, lengthy for me to send jou a translation
of. Below, however, you will find the gist of it, a j
also a running commentary. It seta out with the
complaint that the people in the country are afraid
to assist the police—and well enough they may be,
when it is known that the fact of being a witness
iu a case of assassination or robbery renders !lic
party liable to detention or imprisonment until the
case is brought to trial, usually a very considerable”
period. * Then in case of any inurdor ha ing beer
committed the bell on the nearest plantation is t<
be struck ton times, with an lu’ermission of five
minutes for at least two hours, when of the white
men in neighboring estates il there be more than
ten, one half, and it less than ten, all but one , are to
goto the aid of the police. It oust surely have
been forgotten, that this assembling the people at
the sound of the bell taught the people of Columbia
their strength which led them Jo throw off rhe Span
yoke. The country inn keepers are not to give
admission to strangers, travellers, without examin
ing their traveling licenses, and if they suspect or
Aoicthe strangers to be robqers, they are to give
immediate information to the nearest public officer,
or be liable to be fined from $lO to S3OO ; aud iu
case of the fine not befog paid, to imprisonment of
from ten to sixty days.
The foregoing regulations are very generally die -
approved, as not being calculated to produce any
beneficial result. General Taeon caused murders
and robberies to cease in a very different manner
He held the chiefs of police responsible for auy
murder or robbery committed in their several dis
tricts, and declared they should suffer similar pun
iehments to what wou and have been inflicted on the
criminals themse ves were they known; this caujed
the police to keep on the qutvtve. Robberies and
assassinations which previously had been of so fre
quent occurrence were soon uo more heard of.
Riding a short distance into the country iu a pub
lie stage, the day after the publication of the fore
going regulations, I heard a reppectabie looking
man, who dwells in tne country, observe : “It may
do very well for city ho’el keepers to ask travelers
for their traveling permits, but if a country tavern
keeper were to do so, he would soon reosive the
contents of a pistol barrel in his biains for his im
pertinence ‘or be cut down by a machette,” said
auother man who was seated opposite him.
The three following narratives, which have reach
ed me from a reliable source, will enable your read
ers to arrive at a correct conclusion as to the state
of Cuba at the present period :
Recently the prophet r of a bodega (grocery) in
Tejabdillo street in this city, going to market early
one morning, left a lad in charge of the establish
rnent. Soou after the departure of the proprietor n
uegro aud mulatto entered and proceeded to attempt
to carry away the till. The boy bravely resisted him,
but, receiving sundry severe contusions and
wouDds, was overpowered, aud the till with its
contents were taken away by the robbers. Iu the
course cf un hour or two the public were unuajaliy
active in ferrettiog out the scoundrels. The boy
knew one of them, stated where he lived and added
my blood will be found ou his trousers This proved
to be the case and the fellow was arrested. He Is
‘he slave of a gentleman of influence, who exerted
himself in his behalf aud iu a tew days was Again a
liberty. Thus, scouudrels escape the ruuishmen
r hei? crimes merits and the laws are set at defiance.
Think you that boy's life is Worth a month spur
onase ? Ido not 1
A short time since, two decently dressed men
called at the residence of Don J P y E , in Paula
street, in this city ; one went up stairs to the (•••tint
ing room, the other rema ned below. After ihe cua
tornery ceremonies amongst Spaniards, the one
who went up stairs said to Don J. P. y E : “I have
come on an awkward errand for a Btrauger— to re
quest you to give me a thousand doll ir*! Don J.
P. y E., who, I understand, is a gentleman of strong
mind end courage, at once refused to give the
money, and threatened to have the stranger arres
ted. “It would be useless to do that,’ whh the re
ply, “there is accompany of us, and the lot has fallen
ou me to make this request.” Then iu a persuasive
strain, he advised Dou J. P. y E. to give the sum
required, and in taking leave, in the most courteous
manner, mentioned an address where he wou and be
found until the following afternoon at a stated hour
Don J. P. y E called his eldest non and told him
what had occurred. The eon urred his father to
comply with the demand, and thus probably save
himself further aud greater loes or injury, Hh mo
ther, too, giving her entreaties, Dou J P. y E yield
ed and sent the money by a clerk to the address the
soouudrel had given. Here the clerk foUti i the two
men luxuriating with Coffee and segars a tor dinner
The money was most graciously received and a po
lite message with many good wishes sent iu return
for it.
Thus far the matter has not been made generally
known in this city.
The weathy Creole planter, Don D. A. was called
upon some time ago, by a man who asked lor the
trifling sum of five thousand dollar*}. The demand
was at once firmly refused ; the result was, that the
canes upon one of the planter’s estates,-were shortly
after burned down and property to the extent of
fifty thousand dollars thus destroyed. Will not your
readers conclude there is no great security for life
and property here id Cuba, afler perusing the fore
going ?

Fatal Accident upon an Egyptian Railway
—A Cairo correspondent of a London paper gives
the tollowing partioulais of the railroad acoident in
that country, by which the nephew of the Viceroy
and others lost their lives :
It most unfortunate circumstance that his
Highness, Ahmet Pacha, should happen to be the
vicum of the first railway accident we have had
here ever since the line was opened. Aocor .ing to
report, he very reluctantly allowed himself to be
persuaded by his relatives to come down from
Cairo to pay his respects to his uncle, the Viceroy,
on the occasion of the Beiram festivals, and iinine
diately atier having gone through tue usual cere
mony on the morning of the 14t‘j of May, he bur
ried to the railway station, accompanied by several
distinguished personages including his Highness,
Halim Pacha, brother to the Vioeruy, and reached
the place just in time to catch the up-train that
was to bring him to his untimely death. The train,
as usual, started aud arrived safely at Kaier Lais,
where passengers generally alight to cross the Ni.e
in a steamer, out, at on all occasions when princes
are on the line, the ferry is held in readiness to con
vey them across in the carriages.
The Arubs iu charge, on pitching the wagons on
ihe ferry, very carelessly omitted to put on the
sbappens, and the four wagons, one alter the other,
dropped into the Nile. As soon as it was perosived
that the wheels of the first carriage had got over
the side of the ferry the alarm was given, but alas!
too late to be of any avail, as Ahmet Pacha, with
bis suit, with Ri'ast Bey, Minister of Commerce,
and Kern din Pacha, formerly director ct the transit
administration, perished.
Halim Pacha escaped by jumping into the Nile,
whence he was rescued by some of the English
railway employees, whose indelatigable exeitioni
m trying tv save some of their lellow creatures
merit great praise. The disastrous news was re
ceived shortly after the accident occurred, and bo b
the European colony and the whule Arab popula
tion 4 ouid not help manifesting how deeply they
felt the sudden loss of the man in whom the hope of
Egypt rested. He was the eldest son of the late
Ibrahim Pacha and the eldest living prince of Me
hemit Ali’s fam ly, consequently successor to the
present Viceroy. Under his rule the prospeiity of
the country would have been a most certain.
Five Hundred Dollars Damage for Kefus

heretofore excited no lit tie interest, has just been
decided in Warren c unty. At the election tor
State officers on the 14th of October, 1866, a “col
ored” man named .Jesse Beckley, some lew sheets
darker than alabaster, offered h>s vote at the Four in
Ward polls, aud it was refused by the Judges
Rufus K Paine, Wm. H. Glass and Mi kael Cieary,
upon the ground that he was not a “oiuzeu ot the
United States,” according to the meaning of the act
of Congress, beckley had taken several xriendf
with him es witnesses to the tender of his vote, ano
its refusal by ihe Judges, for the puipose of testing
the queston in tne Courts, in case he wai not per
mitted to vote. Upon the same day after his ballot
had been rejected, he commenced suit against the
Election Judges, laying his damages at SI,OUO. The
City assumed the responsibility ot the deienoe, ano
instructed the City Solicitor to contest the claim. —
The case was tried three times In the Courts of
ibis city, aud each instauce the jury failed to agree
Upon a motion by Beckley's counsel, the venue
wns changed to Warren county, and the case came
up for trial on Monday morning last. The City was
represented by Judge Hart and M. Probasco, and
and the Plaintiff by Messrs. Getchell and Chambers
The case oocupied the attention of ihe Court to;
nearly two days, when the Jury returned a verdict
for theplautiff of five hundred dollars. Anew tria

years ago the Railroad routes between Albany ano
Buffalo were consolidated, you remember, undei
tbe title of New Central, Thurlow Weed, of the Al
bany Evening Journal, engineering the matter
through the Legislature, and for this service was to
receive the handsome sum ofsß,iMJo,of which Eras
tus Corning was to furnish 4 ,000 and Dean Rich |
moud SI,OOO.
The plan succeeded, and the money was paid
over. But as Mr. Weed didn’t think it would look
well to have the stock stand in his own name, he
had it made over to an old and particular friend oi
his, Mr. Mclntosh, who had made money as a rail
road contractor. It was understood between the
parties that Mclutoeh was to hold the stock, ana
then quietly make it over to Weed. But, unlucki
ly, Mclntosh died suddenly one fine day, and forgot
to leave a will. So the administrators, in making
up the account of tbe aseote, stumbled upon the
certificates for this SB,OOO, and put them down to
Mclntosh’s credit, supposing, of course, they were
his.
The debts were paid and a handsome balance
was lelt for she widow, the attractive Mrs. Mein

Pruident Fdlmore / Tbur owi eight thousand

petual banishment, with confiscation of all civil
rights and abso ut • incompetence to hold or inherit
property in Sweden, on six respectable women, for
the crime of having become members of the Roman
Catholic Church.
To be torn from their families nd property, and
cast like felons from off their native euil, merely for
embra* ing a form of Christian faith no r recognized
by the established church, see .ns a hard measure
for the victims and not much to the credit of the
Swedish constitution, but mob thin s are the nat

The Cr ; p* From a'l paris of the oountry, as
with one voice, the cry is, ••there will not be half
crops.” Wheat as a general thing is now out, aud
we have not heard of one farmer who be isveshe
will make over a half au average crop, aooord n ’
to tho amount of seed sown. Ttoere seems to be,
so far as our information has extended, a ii't e yel
ow worm in the joint of almost every stalk ot
wheat. We would be glad if some of our observ
ing farmers would give us some Information in
relatiou to the origin and destination of this worm
The rust has ruined ihe oats; t here will not be a
half crop gathered. The “oldest inhabitant” haa
uo knowledge of ever seeing rust in .att*s before
this year. Sjme farmers are of opinion they will
not get seed.
Corn is very small for the season. We have
heard intimation that the rust was getting in it.—
