By dose watching he was prevented from inflicting any violence on his own person. Several doctors examined him, hut they differed as to the origin of his troubles. He contin ued morose, flighty and violent for a few days, but finally seemed to quiet down.

Caroline, who has already been named conferred. No epidemic—no prevailing disease is the cause of this mortality— it appears to result from physical retro gression alone, superinduced, no doubt, by change of habits, wants of former comforts, and utter disregard of those laws of health, which white masters in variably enforced among their slaves.

Express, May 20th. A few days ago i he dead body of a man was found among the sand hills near San Franci-co, concerning whom there is an unwritten history full of pathos. In his pockets were three dol- lais in paper money, a paper marked strychnine, and on the ground near him was a letter, informing him that his father was very ill and fast sinking. A part of the letter was written by his mother, in which she stated that she was sick, failing, weary of life, and thnt sne had but one desire—to see her son. The remainder of the letter was written by his sister, in which she im plored her brother to hasten to his former home in Yarmouth, New Hamp shire, if he ever expected to sec either of his parents aga n. But the letter reached a man too poor to make the long journey. Years ago he came to the land of gold, but he had not suc ceeded in gaining wealth, or even lay ing up sufficient money to take him home. So, when the sad letter reach ed him, in a fit of grief and despair, he resolved to cross the dark river ot death in advance of those lie loved. and acknowledged as the successor to the queenly dignity. After the first part of the perform ance was over, Queen Caroline held her court in an old house ou the hanks of the bayou, where she shone forth in all the resplendence of her nude beauty. I saw with regret that these orgies other mystic conjurations known. But instead of this breaking the charm it only served to strengthen it; for, on the ensuing morning, four more were stricken with a similar distemper, and the two, whos < tails she had pin ned, &c., died.

A groom and bride entered the sleep ing carat Baltimore, the groom glarlhg at everybody as though lie wanted to fight on the spot. His little wife, how ever, seemed to be very happy ami good-natured. After the train got out of the city the newly married mau be came extremely disagreeable. He picked a quarrel with the negro porter on the ear and knocked him down. The sleeping-car conductor then inter fering, he walked into him and after n brief struggle laid him on the iloo> bleeding at every pore. Havi gmnde way with these individuals, the rest of the passengers carefully kept out of the way, and he sat on his seat boiling and simmering with wrath and ready to engage in a fresh conflict. After awhile his wife expressed a desire to retire, nnd lie had a berth made up at the point of the bayonet, and the bride, letting her hoops and other useless ad juncts fall on the floor, c - ept into the berth, followed by her giant liege lord. Thinking that all was quiet aud safe the gentleman who had the berth above that of the newly married pair attempted to reaeli it by resting one foot on the champion fighter’s berth. No sor.i.er had he taken this first step than tiis leg was seized by the monster below, and he found himself dragged down with violence to the floor, suffer ing considerable injury. Then lie re ceived a blow from the fist of the war like groom. He, however, leaped up, and regardless of the presence of the bride in the berth, gave the groom a good thrashing, os he lay cramped up. This quieted him, and the car at lust lmd rest. When the conductor came around for ticke's, Mr. Groom, reach ing down to the floor, picked up his wife’s drawers, and mistaking them for his pantaloons felt for Ills tickets about twenty minutes ; but not finding any receptac.e in this garment for tickets he gave it up in disgust, when at the suggest of the conductor, he looked up his breeches and found them. The fellow was well dressed, apparently had plenty of money, and was not intoxi cated. It is supposed that the novelty of the situation overcame his reason.— Louisville Ledger. A Rare Curiosity.—A remarka ble boy was to be seen at the Nash ville depot yesterday; in fact one of the age. He is half white and half black, not iu the mulatto aqri misce genation sense, but the lower half of his body is white than whiter folks usually are, while the upper portion is ns black as midnight. His mother a cold black uegress, was with him, aud they left on the Nashville train at seven o’clock last evening. He is but three years old, and has already made money out of his peculiarities. He made several uickles yesterday in a very few min- There is a round patch, about p eeo of steel, buried in the pen. The steel was dug tor and found. This went far to strengthen Mr. ’slielief in the negro’s skill, so that he gave himself up entirely to his will. Jake directs Mr. , in order to cure the hogs alreadv infected, to go to the vil lage and buy a suit of clothes for each. No doubt Jake had his little hlack-a- moors iu view here, as he knew they would fall heir to the clotltes. Alter dressing ,.e hogs and removing the fatal steel-the charm was broken and the grunters cured. Jake, dated at his success, and the duplicity he had practiced on Mr. , informed him, if he desired it, he would now place the spell on the old woman. Mr. being delighted at this means of revenge, readily agrees. In a lew days the witch was taken fearfully ill with a pain in the foot. The best medical aid was called to her assis tance, but to no avail. In her last moments she saw nothing but the ghost of hideous grunters, and fear fully cried, “Drive—drive these hogs from me,” and died. These are all facts, Mr. Editor, that can be vouched for; but fearing the wrath of some diabolical sisterhood, I sign myself as he ot shades—the mighty apparition of the pen, for all may guess, but none can know, who may be.

The law iu this case is laid down by a New York judge as follows: If a man warrants a horse, it is not necesary for him to say, “I warrant that horse,” but any distinct affirma tion in regard to the quality or con dition of the horse made to operate, and which does operate on the sale, amounts to a warrantee. Il a man does not want to warrant he must keen his mouth shut; and if he doesopen his mouth he must tell the truth. If the seeds of disease are in a horse when a man warrants hitn, the man who makes the warrantee takes the re sponsibility as to whether the seeds will sprout or not, but a warrantee don’t apply to known defects which can be seen. Il a horse has an eye knock ed out, or has but three legs, and the owner says, “I warrant that horse to he sound,” the law does not take no tice of that, as the warrantee does not apply,; . It may be further remarked, that the seller of a milch cow is under quite as clear a legal obligation to tell the «ruth as the seller of a horse. lias no lather living, and it is intimated that he was sent from New York by his mother in order that he might lie kept away from evil associates. It is represented that he has a disposition that delights in browbeating and dom ineering over his younger companions, and that he has been known frequently to whip and torment them. No par ticular ill-treatment of his cousins iu his new home has been noticed, how ever, nnd the whole family had become very fond of him. Between 3 aud 4 o’clock last Tuesday afternoon, young Curtain took “the baby,” as little Maurice A. Lane was called, and started out for a walk. The track hands at work on the rail road noticed them going toward the woods. About an hour afterward they observed “Eddie,” the Curtain boy, coming back alone, and some of them asked him who he had with him when lie went before, to which he replied that it was a little girl. Soon afterward there were inquiries concerning the missing child, and then Eddie could not be found. Becoming anxious, the mother started out after the baby, and others assisted in the search ; but, al though the woods were visited, the search was in vain. A young man named Kingsley, fif teen years of age, who had been assist ing in the search, finally tame across Curtain, and asked him to go with him and try to find “baby.” Curtain suggested that he might be asleep iu an old birn near by, and with him made search there. Kingsley then wanted to go into the woods. Cm tain tried to dis-mde him from doing so, but finally followed him there. Curtain was ask ed to shout for the baby, and he did so, and was beard in response a feeble cry. This wns repeated, and guided by the sound the two boys entered the road, and found the missing child eitting on the ground with his head and face cov ered with blood and dirt. “Who’s been abusing you?” replied Curtain. ; • \ “Y'ou,” implied the child. At this accusation the boy fell down in a half faint, but soon rallied. The two took the infant to a house near by, from which its mother took it home. She asked him who hurt him, and he said “Eddie.” Across the nose was a deep cut and another two inches long immediately over the right eye. The most serious cut was one three inches long on the back of tbe head, near its top. All the cuts looked as though they were caused by blows from a rag ged (tick of wood. The arms nnd throat weTO black and blue, as though they bnd been severely pinched. The child was found at 6 o’clock on Tues day evening and died at 3 o’clock on the following afternoon.

In speaking of local debating so ciety, a country paper says, “Our vil lage debating dubs are in full blast, and questions that have engrossed the intellectual functions of sages even since the flood are being decided at the rate of two a week.” A smart boy, having been required to write a composition on some part of the human body, expanded* as fallows:. “The Throat—A throat is convenient to have, especially for rosters and minis ters.

An inebriated stranger precipitated himself dawn the depot stairs, and, on .striking on the landing, reproachfully apostrophised himself with : • “ If you jd! .beena wantin’’ to. come down,struts,. why*n thunder dld’nt you sav so, you wooden-beaded old fool, an’I’d a come 1 with yon an’ showed you the way.” health right cordially, for each and every one of os has personally known, loved and honered the best of them all—his own mother.—-A". O. Pica yune. , Teh Ashantees.—The Ashnntees, with whom the English at Cape Coast Castle are at war, are said to be a most degraded and savage race of people. There' country stretches along the const from New Guinea to Ashantee. The interior for more than two hun dred milo&is covered with a dense, im penetrable forest, fillet! with elephants, lions, Yntfukeys, pythous, and myriads * tropical birds of brilliant plumage— (niasmaric’jtmwle-which" tnfe' foot -of man has seldom pressed. The Ashan toes are finely formed, wild, ferociously cruel, and for savages, brave and war like. They have already forty thou sand men in the field. Their barbari ty to prisoners is proverbial, and on one occasion, the maturing oi their favorite food, Ike yam, the whole na tion get gloriously drunk—men, women and children. In a war against such people our English cousins ere- likely to have their hands full, for a time at least. With a Captain Jack for a leader, the Ashantees in. their impene trable jungles, would, even without the lava beds, give their enemies a speci men of Modoc warfare on a large scale. Soap from Cotton Seed. — The Louisville Courier-Jourued reports the final success of a compony who have for some time been experimenting with a view to the manufacture of soap from cotton seed oil. The company is now supplying the grocery, drug and fancy stores, public institutions and private families of Louisville with soap which the Courier-Journal pronounces, “the most superior ever offered in this mar ket.” It says that it is free from, all rancid matter, is purely vegetable, and does not contain any lime, salt or other injurioii& matter that ruins the skin and rots the clothes. Should it be found that this soap.can be made so cheaply as to enter into general use, ite manufacture and con sumption will give an enhanced value to cotton, seed and thus add to the value of the cotton crop.
