deal of troublo to ascertain tho facts about the Iatost and most discroditablo acts of the outgoing Ministry, in tho way of tho oxor- cise of patronage.I had somo trouble to arrive at the fucts, but I believe what I ain about to sect down will bo found substantially true.Tho Macdonald Government, over sinco tho adjournmont, in May Inst, have boon so conscious of the coming judgment that they have sot thomselves to work just aftor tho fashion of tho unjust stoward in tho parable, to mako all tho frionds thoy could at tho cost of their masters, the public.The appointment and promotion mill has, therefore, been kopt going in a lively man- nor for tho lust six months.Wlhon tho now Ministry camo into offico they found a largo number of appointments and promotions ready for garetting, or which had recontly been gazetted.Tho question was how to deal with thom, and although I have not been informod as to tho principle adopted, 1 think it not difticult to gather the views, which have guided the decisions arrived at.None of the appointments mado previous to the proposal of tho vote of censure have been interfored with.With rogard to those mado sinco that dato, thero are first tho Judges, who, when onco nade, cannot bo removed, excopt by a certain parliamontary process ; socond, tho Liout-Governors, who are removable, but to whom it is ovidont that it was intended to givo a tonture of offivo freo from the effects of mero political motives of action ; thirdly, tho ordinary oflicers of the Gov: ornment, who have no conslitutional guar antoo.The Governmont have left the men in the two first categorios in possession of the ad- vantagos conforred upon them.Tho rest thoy have rejected.Your roaders will, no doubt, learn with surprise that tho outgoing Ministry, lnow.ing that thoy hnd no de jure possession of office, not only nominated somo fifty offi cinls, but incrensol salaries right and left all over the Province.Will it bo believed that in one department alone\u2014that of the Customs\u2014only six days bofore the resignation, an order in Council was passed to in- croase salaries by noarly fifty-ono thousand dollars! This is exclusive of about twenty five thousand dollars a yoar for sularies to newly appointed officials.Those, 1 am informed, are undoubted facts.1 do not know for certain whothor the worvants of all the other departments were as well taken care of as those in the Customs ; but I suppose if ono provided so! handsomely for his subordinates, other Min iuters wero not behind in the like henevol- ences.It is whispercd in addition that on the day of the resignation orders wero given to a number of persons for an immense quantity of work, far in oxcels of current requirements in the various departments, in particular that tho Minerve offire may be run for .months on orders reccived from: thoso excossively liboral friends.I suppose that the new Ministry will not stop with the stoppage of the new appointments, but will take fitting ordor in the case of these monstrous augmontations of salaries and perty of Mgr.Ledochowski would seom o be an inevitable gence of his continued contumacy.Probably the Archbia- hop will be no loser in the end by reason of his civil martyrdom.But to the good ple of Posen it is rather a serious matter to ave parish after parish left without anybody to legally perform the ceremony of marrige.For it must be remem that under the new ecclesiastical law of Prussia à pricet appointed without the sanction of the provincial representative of the Govern- mont, cannot solemnize a marriage which the courts will recognize as valid.~All such priosts, too, are doprived of the baptismal and othor registries, and the social machin- ory of the district necessarily becomes very much clogged.Tho distress in Posen has alrendy called forth vory pitcous remonstrances and no solution short of the legalizing of civil marringe\u2014nothing loss than a religious rovolution in such a community \u2014 will meet tho nocessitios of the case.Archibishop Lodochowski is not the only Prussinn prelato who hns shown an intention to dofy the power of tho Government.Fiftoon charges of having appointed priosts without having given notieo of the ct to the chiof President of tho provinee, as ro- quired by tho occlosiaatical laws, are now nding against Bishop l\u2019aul Molchers, of \u2018ologne.Six of thoso cases woro sot down for hoaring a fortnight ago, boforo the Police court of that city, and two more were to be heard carly in Novombor.The fact of an Archbishop boing summoned before a Police court, is surely ono of the most curious incongruitics of modern history.Of course the Rhenish prolate would refuso to recognize the jurisdiction of the

on Thursday evening last, when he spoke in response to the toast of his health, for over three hours, as follows : \u2014 Hee yor and gentlemen.\u2014Can 1 believe my senses ?Is it true, or is it a dream ?Am 1 a defeated man, or am I a victorious Minister ?(Cheers,) If I wore to judge by your plaudits\u2014and they sa the worl pa y *p.lauds success\u2014I might suppose was a his moment loading a successful band of followers\u2014a majority both in and out of Parliament.(Cheers and cries of \u201c You are!™) This assembly proves to me that the common saying that mankind only worships success is a falsehood.You are not here to worship success.You are not here to aid in still further elevating men who, by the force of circumstances, have attained, and are now keoping a high position in the country.You are following a fallen Ministry.(Cries of ¢ Nover!\u201d and ¢ Nol\") Aye, sir, it is too true.Your leaders have fallen, but your voico and the voice in this room, sud the voice heard outside of this house, and tho voices that are now ringing through the country, toll me that this fall is but the precursor of a second triumph.(Cheers.) .Sir John then went on to review his connection with public life, dwelling particular- Iy on his Militia policy and his exertions to bring about Confederation.In speaking of the Red River, while he deplored the killing of Scott, he said a rebellion was never suppressed bofore with the loss of only ono man.In closing his survey of the past he said :\u2014 I admit wo have committed errors, snd I will say, like any honest man who looks back upon his past life, that there are many things I would have wished otherwise, and with the light of experience, I would have changed, but 1 will say this, whether we acted right or wrong, wo were actuated by a desire to do tho best according to our judgment, although it might afterwards rove to be an erring judgment.(Cheers.) We were obliged to leave the Government, forsooth, because we had given a contract, it was said, to Sir ugh Allan to build the Pacific Railway.Now, I am not going to trouble you with a long speech on the subject.1spoke for five hours and a half on that subject.I hope you have road it.It will do you a great deal of good if you did, (laughter) and do no great harm if you idu't.That charge was made against myself and colleague, Sir George Cartier, who has gone to his reward\u2014becauso, if ever an honest man gets his reward be will.(Enthusiastic cheering.) I will not trouble you with the tbrice told McMullen tale, because you can read it in my speech or in tho evidence, or in both if you are fond of light literature.(Laughter.) But, we are told in twonty-five or one hundred thousand dollars to bo rejocted ?Certainly not.But, it was said, the Premier of Canada ought not to have received this money, but it ehoald have been received and distributed through a club.He then went over the old story about the Carlton and Reform Clubs, and continued : These charges unjust.It was foul and unfair; it was striking below the belt.Uheors ) This oh of spending money is brought agains me.U1 bol ave ieorgo Brown has oxpended more than I did.He fortunes in contesting Toronto.Once he carried it by mero force of money.It is said that he expended $30,000.Once he was defeated and on the occasion he spent $20,000.I can prove from what Le told me himself, and I can produce witnosses tosab- stantiate it, that his contest with Mr Gibbs cost him $24,000.(Cheers.) I have spoken to you about the way in which the charges brought against us in Parliament failed.Then it may be said, WHY DID YOU RESIGN ?Why didn\u2019t you fight it out ?Well, ponte.men, I'll tell you.In tho first place, found too late that had not a fair jury.It wasa court that was packed.For the firat time that I have ever known it in a country where British institutions provail, or where the spirit of British justice oxists, I had found that the men who were to try us, who had read that evidence and wore to declare us guilty or not guilty, had signed a document to bring in a verdict of guilty.Gentlemen, does not your flesh creep when you hear that statement ?when you hear that it is possible for a body of gentlemen, elected by the honest, law-abiding, straightforward people of Canada wore so false to their prin.against me were down, they chose me.spent two or throe|T ously asked them to allow me to retire.I thought they might choose some younger man, who had not accumulated on him by twenty years of success the enmity of twenty years.1 thought some younger man might be choson ; but whether it was they did not wish to leave me when I was [Cheors.] I wastoo much affected to decline, and 1 said I will serve you as long as you think I can be of any service.nthusiastic cheering.HE CANADIAN GLEANER is published every Thursday at noon.Subscription, $1.50 a-year in advamce.For papers sent to the States or Great Britain 20 cents additional has to be the Gleaner, four cents.Advertisementsare charged seven cents per line for the first insertion and three cents for 2ach subsequent assertion.Advertisements of Farms for Sale, if not over 10 lines, are inserted for $1 the first month, and fift onal month.No less than fifty cents.te paid for postage.Single copies of cents for each additi- vertisement inserted for Office in Dominion Block, opposite the Post-office.ROBERT SELLAR, Proprietor, Te FoI Ni Epis Tay The Ganadian Gleaney, Li A HUNTINGDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBR 20,1873 ciples, so false to their honor, so degraded from the lust of power that they would go round from man to man and say\u2014 These gentlemen are going before you to be tried in a fow weeks.Sign this paper that you will give a verdict of guilty.\u201d That was tho court I had to meot, that was tho jury I was brought before, and, when I found that, and besides that not only had the jury been pucked, but many had been approached by means most degrading to those who approached and those who were approached ; when I found that those who had volunter- ed to support me in the morning had been sold before the afternoon, then I thought, as wo were doomed, I had to consider my supportors, and I was not going to force n hopoless task on them, for there were many of thom honest, straightforward men, who wero willing to sink with me, and I was not willing to put them in a false position.(Cheers) 1 was not willing to put the true men in a false position and let the falco mon place themselves in an elevated position, and so the Government resigned.reedily our opponents grasped for office.hey thought no more of pressing motions BELIRVING that there are many of our readers like ourselves who want to seo what tho Corruptionists have to eay in their defence, we give considerablespaco to Sir John A.Macdonald's speech.that he mado in Parliament, being more coheront and less abusive, the same lack of dignity of tone, and leaves the impression more of a bar-room declni- mor, who is contont to make any kind of points in favor of bimself and against his opponents, than of an honest man who is anxious to satisfy the public of his innocence.He dividos the people of Canada into two classes, Clear Grits and Conservatives, and has apparently no conception of that very largo class who, like oursolves, care not for party triumphs, bat are solely anxious to see the country properly govern.How | ed.It is better than It has, however, What doos it matter to us what the Globe or Goldwin Smith said of him ; what the first lace, the Government sold the of censure.They thought no mors of pro- great Pacific Railway to the Yankees.Waa ceeding against tho Governmentand purify.not that the charge?(Cries of \u201c Yen! ing the atmosphere.They thought only of les !\u201d) Didn't Goldwin Smith say that I office and the gracious invitation of ILis l£x- was guilty of treason!

Why, we had McMullen sitting on the left band of the throne, check by jowl with Messrs Mackenzie and Blake.There he was ready to help thom and perhaps he did, bocause there were some mysterious conversions and some greenbacks about.(Laughter.) It was simply because wo were true to Canada and the Empire.(Cheers.) It was bocause we believed it to be a crime to have anything to do witn tho Americans, because Î told them we could not have anything to do with them that they finding their expectations\u2014aroused, I must say, by Sir Hugh Allan\u2014disappoint- ed, played the game of the Opposition and sold for a consideration those papers to Mr Huntington of which you have read and heard go mueh.If we had held out a flag to the Northern Pacific and those gentlemen, you would have a different account of the progress of the Pacific Railway, you would have a different account of us.The Government would have remained in power some years longer, but with the mark of treason upon their brow.(Cheers.) But that charge broke down, and we wero told that we had sold the contract to Sir Hugh Allan.It so happened that by the course we took, Sir Hugh Allan was prevented from being a contractor at all.Wogranted © the charter to a Railway Company, with a directorate of thirteen gentlemon, all having equal rank and station, Sir Hugh being one of them.Wo made provision that none of them should be a contractor, directly, on that road, and when that charter was granted, the youngest man of those thirteen had as rauch stock as Sir Hugh Allan and as much power and influence.When the said we sold the contract, it was an absurd, ity.Well that broke down, and the last thing that was said was \u201c You took money for the elections.\u201d Gentlemen, I acknow- ledge-the corn.(Laughter and cheers.)

whether McMullen sold the correspondence to Iluntington ; or whether a number of Sir John's own followers were bought over by greenbacks ?Those accusations are serious ones, worthy of investigation, but what have they to do with Sir John A.Macdonald's own conduct?The country says to him, You are accused of taking $167,000 from Sir Hugh Allan to whom you granted the Pacific chartor.Oh, replies Sir John, the evidence against mo wag stolen from a locked desk, sold to Huntington by McMullen, the prosecution instigated by Jay Cooke & Co., and tho Clear Grits spent a great deal more money than I did at tho olections.This is no answer to satisfy the country.How the cvidence against him was procured or how tho prosecution was begun, or whether his opponents arc as black as himeolf, is nothing ; these aro irrelevant considerations.\u2018Lhe point on which he has to give ue information, is whether or not he took the money as alleged ; this is tho vital question, and this is exactly what he cannot deny.tap-room phraseology, ho says, I acknowledge the corn.\u201d He took the $167,000 from Allan and he gave him the charter.Here is evidence enough out of his own mouth to condemn him, and yet this man bas his admirers and supporters and is re- chosen deliberately as the leader of the Con.sorative party in tho Dominion.The fact suggests the thought whether Sir John's crime is exceptional, and whether it is not the natural outcome of a degraded moral sonso in the public at large.Certainly, so long as such acts do not blast the reputation of our public men or decrease their following, they will be repeated often enough.Sir John\u2019s extenuation of his offence, that the money was given as a subscription by Sir Hugh Allan, is against the evidence of Allan himself, who, in his lettors, declared ho spont the money in order to got the Pacific charter and that he expected to be recouped.Apart from the conclusive evidence of Allan on this head, we have Macdonald's own tole- graph to Cartier, giving him authority to promise the Presidency of the Pacific Company to Allan, in order to scearo money for the elections.The quibbling about Allan having no more power at the Board than the youngest member of it, is beneath notice.Allan saw that the charter could be made a remunerative speculation to him if he got the Presidency, and in order to get it ho was willing to pay what most men would cousider a large fortune.How Allan was to make money out of the charter we can only conjecture, but certainly an avaricious and miserly busincas-man like him would not have given to the Government so large a sum unless be saw his way clear to repay himself with interest.The loyal rant in Sir John's speech is what wo have been accustomed to for the past ton years, He and his party, by their own account, are the only loyal men in the Dominion ; Clear Grits and evorybody slse are traitors.The cry at one time did them In his own ]| good service ; it deceived simple people and gained their support.It is not always that the fact is borne in mind, that the greatest villain makes the otrongest pretensions to honesty ; the greatest liar to truth; the most immoral to piety.A truly loyal man has no need to parade his sentiments before the public, much loss to decry the loyalty! of his opponents.It is only the traitor who sasumes & monopoly of that which he does ; not possess and boldly defames his fellowmen.Let the events of the past six years form a commentary on this claim of Sir John A.Macdonald's to extraordinary loy-! alty.Wbo was it that winked at Fenian movements both in the States and Canada ?Who was it that lay incapable at the time of tho raid in 1866 and caused tho disaster at Ridgeway ?Who was it that rofused to hang the Fenians taken prisoners, or to ask indemnity and apology from the American Government for tho losses and iiisults sustained ?Who was it that pardoned Father McMahon and his fellows and set thom at liberty ?Who was it that connived at the robellion at Red River, who treated with the emissaries of Riel, and sont to Rome for Bishop Tuché to pacify them ?To whoso paltering was it owing that Scott was shot and that his murderers wore never, during his tenure of power, called toaccount ?And who was it, that gave the Americans territorial rights in Canada, sold our Fisheries and waived our sovereignty to the St Law- renco ?If to be truly loyal is to act as Sir John A, Macdonald has done during these few years, we pray ho may have, as he pretends, a monopoly of the quality, SE Mone than customary interest was felt in the proceedings before the Huntingdon Circuit Court owing to the cases before it arising out of the transactions of the gang of patent-right swindlers who visited the county a yoar ago.We mado roference to their operations at the time, but will briefly recapitulate the main points.Tho gang comprised numerous members, who, so far a8 wo could learn, came from the eastern States, and travelled along the frontier, operating on both sides.Those who came into Canada pretended that they wanted agents to soll a patent attachment for fastening on grindstones, which would render it possible to sharpen mowing-machine knives.The attachments were to bo sold at $3 a-piece, which would leave one dollar and a half to the agent.When they found a farmer who entortained their proposals, they produced a printed agreement, which they filled up and the farmor signed ; the agreemont boing a mutual one, they binding themselves to supply the attachments at a certain figuro and the furmer to pay the royalty or por- centage stipulated.On the face of it, the transaction looked innocently enough and nothing could oxceed tho astonishment of those in this neighborhood, who agreed to bo agents, to learn that the swindlers had protendod notes of theirs, for suns of $120 to 8125, which they wero ondeavoring to got discounted, The headquarters of the gang was at Chateaugay and from there they paid frequent visits to this locality oven after their character was known.We think now as then, that a mistake was made in not arresting them.They acted in the most dofiant manner towards their victime and assured them they would be made to pay tho notes when thoy came due.In their own hands of course tho notos were worthless, so they transferrod them to third parties, who, like the American Cadwell, affected to have become holders in good faith.There third parties sued on two of the notes, Stewart's and Sandilands\u2019, but the cases were postponed at the May court owing to tho defendants asking for surety for costs, the plaintiffs residing in tho States.This was effected by Leonard Bush undertaking tho responsibility.The cases therefore were ready to bo considered on their merits at the court of Inst week, when, owing to the illaoss of Mr Brossoit, of Beau- harnois, who was lawyer for one of the notes, only Stewart's was decided.By reference to the evidence, it will be seen that the case broke down entirely and, to the satisfaction of everybody, Stowart came off clear.Those who timidly compounded with the rascals will now regret not having gone into court to maintain their rights.This is the second time this county has been victimised in & similar way, although in the first caso the notes wero properly signed, and not forgeries as in the present instance, Tho moral is, that farmers should attend to thoir legitimate duties \u2018and leave imple- ment-sclling to those who understand the business, and who are not to be deceived by wandering impostors who sell patent-rights for machines which either have no existence or are not worth manufacturing, promising profits which no articlecanafford.If Parliament would pass an act giving power to arrest such characters on suspicion and declaring notes so obtained null and void, there would be anend to this wretched swindling.In the Westorn States such laws are common.EE Tax dreadful news from Cubs, of the massacre of part\u2019 of the crew and passen- gors of the Virginius, has created a profound sensation, and the Americans are Apparently unanimous in advocating retaliatory measures, if not the annexation of Cuba.Had the Spaniards rested content with the capture of the vossel and the shooting of the four leaders, they would bave had the moral sympathy of the world on their side, for they would havo been doing no more than a due regard for their own interests and the pence of their colony required ; but this killing of ignorant sailors and passengers, who were no more, at best, than secondary gnty of Spain, is so orucl that the United States would be to blame if they allowed the offence to escape unpunished.The United States Government, in allowing the Virginius to aid the rebellion in Cuba, undoubtedly were in the wrong, but this awful crime of putting to death in cold blood unarmed men, who had no due idea of breaking international law, overshadows and conceals the lessor offence.l\u2019resident Grant is hurrying on military preparations, and daily come reports of monitors and men-of- war clearing the navy-yards ready for sor- vice.This is all Grant can do, he not having the same power ns the Queen and her Executive to declare war.Congress meets on the first Monday in December and beforo it will come the whole case for decision.The war, should there bo one, ought to be short and sharp, for Spain can make no adequate resistance at the presont time.One untoward effect of the trouble, has been a riso in tho price of gold, which, on some days, touched 110.THERE is much agitation in Franco as to the choico of a ruler for the future, The Monarchists, apparently, have not given up all efforts, cven after the oxtravagant demands of Chambord had been made public, and continue to act the part of obstructionists and peacc-breakers.Gen.McMahon asks to be continued President for seven Years, with certain extraordinary powers to enable him to keep France quiet, and this will probably be agreed to.If there is another civil war in France it will be begun this time, not by the Communists, but by tho partizans of Chambord, or oftho Orleans or Napoleon families, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CIRCUIT COURT, HUNTINGDON.Tuts Court sat here all day Thursday and Friday, His Ilonor, Mr Justice Belanger, presiding.The cases of Gadoux vs.Lefebvre, Gold vs.Irwin, Carr vs, Gibson, and Sheets vs, Spencer et al, were continued to next term.Black vs.Patterson, action for 853 ;

feet and swung round by it.The shaft stands within 54 inches of a pillar, and through this narrow space the body of the poor child was forced at each revolution o onc was in the floor of tho mill Where the accident took place, at the timo the bo got entangled, so it is not known how often ho was whirled round.On the alarm being given the machinery was stopped, the child removed, and, beforo long, Dr Anderson of Durham and Drs Shirriff and Morrison of this village were in attendance, Wonderful to relato, though thoy found both thighs broken, and the chiéf bones in both arms likewise broken, they succeeded in dressing the wounds, and express a hope not only of the child's rocovery but of the restoration of the use of his limbs as before.It is, however too carly too speak confidently of his recovery, for, after such injuries, it wil] bo some time beforo ho can be declared ont of danger.The Rev Mr Lochead will preach in St Androw\u2019s on Sunday forenoon, at balf-past ten, and at Port Lewis in the afternoon at half-past two.A number of young mon from this vicinity, who went across the lines to work in the woods for the winter, have returned, in consequence of the low wages offered\u2014814 a-month instoad of $20.To all appearance winter has sot in, the weathor for the past ten days having been unremittingly cold and stormy.Friday was cold enough for January, the thermometer indicating 11 degrees above zero in the morning, while all Tuesday a very hoavy snow-storm provailed.There is now fully 8 inches of snow on the ground, and tho sloighing is excellent.Steamers managed to get through the canals until Monday, when they may bo said to have closed.\u2018The hemian went down on her last trip on Monday evening.The\" carly closing of navigation causes much inconvenience and entails no inconsiderable loss to shippers of produce.To farmors, who aro short of fodder, such a premature covering of tho ground, will prove a serious drawback.SUICIDE IN FRANKLIN.\u2014A shocking case of suicide has occurred in Franklin, the victim being one of tho oldest residents in the township, namely Amos Priest, Early on Monday morning, about half-past four, he rose, dressed, and after searching some timo in a drawer, went out, remarking to Mrs Priest he would light the fire on his return.She supposed he went out to tho barns, but not reappearing, she became alarmed, the more #0 that one of the children who went out to the yard said his father was not about the buildings.Finally two of his sons mere lads, apprehensive that some accident had happened, went in search of him, and casily tracked his course by his footstepsin the snow.Tho track led through the adjoining farms to the east, and on following the trail to the rear of Mr John Dickenson's lot, they wero inoxprossibly horrified to see their father hanging from a tree.He had taken a new halter ropo with him, and apparently climbed up a tree and after fastening one end of it secure ly to himself and the other to a branch, jumped off, his feet being only somo 24 inches from the ground.It was six o'clock when discovered, so -that it must have lung for some time and was perfectly inanimate.They gave the alarm, and in presonce of several poople the body was cut down and removed to his late residence.On Tuesday Dr Anderson held an inquest, when a verdict of \u2018 death while laboring under temporary insanity\u201d was roturned.No evidence was elicited which threw any light on the cause of his melancholy fate.On Saturday ho was at Franklin Centre, where he made some small purchases and appeared to bo in his usual health and spirits.On Sunday evening he complained to bis family of à pain in his hend, but gave them no cause to suppose anything material was wrong.Ile was a man in the vigor of life, about 45 years of age, and lenves a wife and several children, none of whom are of age.The event has caused a profound sensation in the neighborhood.ES 6 smut We take the following items from the Malone Palladium of Thursday last :\u2014 Work at the railroad shops in Malone has been reduced to nine hours, which is, of course, equivalent to a reduction of ten per cent.of the wages of the men.A barn, cow-shed, horse-stableand sevoral tons of hay, owned by Geo.Bracey, \u2018hate- augay were burned last week Wednesday afternoon.Mr Bracey accused David Per- ham, a young man who had not been on terms with him for sevoral months, o sotting the fire, when he was aasaulted an beaten by him.Ie made complaint before Justice MeCoy, and on tho examination 1 was sworn by Bracoy that ho saw Porhar approach the barn and make a motion 8s! to strike a match, and that in a short time thereafter tho building was in flames;

but failed to overtake him.Some time during the night some one entered the millinery store of Mrs Allison & Gray aleo, smashing the glass out of the door.How- over, no goods were taken, and the genoral belief is that the intruder intended an en- torance to Thompson\u2019s jewelry store, which is adjoining to the shop.Saturday morning a man giving his name as William Johnson, a stranger in town, was arrested at the de- ot, on suspicion of being the burglar of the night before.He was examined Saturday and Monday before Justice Willard, and has been held for trial.A CHAPTER IN THE LIFE OFSNOOKS.Mr Snooks happening into a certain place, where villainous and fermented liquors were necessarily dispensed, on a certain evening, and meeting with a certain company convivially inclined, by whom Snooks was welcomed into the circle, and as they were about to take a little \u201c some- |\u2019 thing,\u201d ho was asked to join in.Snooks hem\u2019d and haw'd just à little, and said ho « didn't mind if he did just take one drink, as he didn\u2019t feel very well,\u201d (Snooks never drinks only when something is the matter) at the samo time placing his hand upon the soat from whence the bad feoling had its starting point, which at times varies; the malady, thanks to a little \u201c su\u2019thing,\u201d does not become chronic.A certain person, designated the \u201c bar keep,\u201d was called and each one interrogated as to what he would have, there being a wonderful dissimilarity in tastes, although all asked for compounds of a stimulating nature.Once seated around the board, each one, of course, had to stand treat in his turn, as it would be mean not to ask tho others after partaking at their expense.Snooks, of course, did not mean to indulge in over ono glass, in order to unseat that bad feeling, but as it did not foel wholly oradicated, and being of a rather complying nature under certain circumstances, acceded to the request to \u201c take just this time with me and then we'll go.\u201d But it was no go until all bad their turn, and, by that time, so fascinating had become the cup and the bad feeling had so nearly suec- cumbed, that Snooks became heedless of timo add regardless of expense, and awa, went the hard earned dimes with as little regrot as if they were to bo bad for the picking up, like peebles from the brook edges.Who was fuller of conviviality when among his boon companions than Snooks, when all things went on smoothly, and just about this time it was all one to him how the world wagged ; whether Sir John or Iluntingdon county was on top, whether tho Governor was struck below the waist,\u201d or that woman he spoke about was going to come to grief, he was in for fun or contrariness just as the cortain bump was affected, and it took but a very slight touch to turn the scale.In this kind of a state Snooks and his companions emergod from the refreshment room to wend their way to their several places of abode, and ns we have nothing to do, at this time, with any of them save Snooks, we will keep sight of him for a while.Snooks did not have a great way to travel to get home.After parting with his friends, he wonded, his way to his own door, and, not having lost all caution, ho took the pre-caution to walk in the middle of the road, as the side walk was not very safe in a dark nigbt especially when there are so many openings or the unwary to stumble into.Snooks being alone, now began to think what kind of a reception ho would receive from Mrs Snooks, he having stayed out just a little longer than usual, and began to cast about for some excuse to make.* Well it wasn't my fauit; they would\u2019nt let me £o, and it isn't very often we meet, and I ain't vor drunk ; I don\u2019t believe anyone could tell I had been drinking.\u201d So he came to a stand to see if ho conld\u2019nt stand still, but, in spite of all he could do, one foot would pass over the other In .some unaccountable manner, thus necessitating him to use all his agility to keep his equilibrium.Finding his efforts to stand perfectly fruitless, he exclaimed, what do I caro?I guess I'm my own » and its none of Mrs Snooks's business.She hadn\u2019t better say anything tome.The idee (hic) (Snooks was not getting any More sober) of a woman bossi ng me (hic)\u2014 arn the (hic) ups\u2014I wen't stand it, no $ir-e0 ; not by a jug-full.\u201d Snooks by this time came insight of his dwelling and hav.be worked himself until he stirred up the oct of his contrariness, he was in a fit I to give it free scope.Not seeing any pght streaming from tbe windows, the linds being own, he went on, * What 008 she care whether I'm cold, or hungry, = thirsty, or what becomes of me.There, she's one to bed and is taking her conifort, and, I'l bet, has locked all the doors, so I cannot get in without making noise enough, waken up the neighborhood (hic).I've 4 800d mind not to go in at all, but and sleep in the outhouse and make her believe couldn't wake her up.I'll try the door rat,\u201d So he lifted the latch lightly and oe door opened as if by magic, it seemed Snes.There was a bright light and Mrs ds sitting knitting (her brows knittin Sk the room was pleasantly warm an 00ks was fearful of à warm reception, so wh Commenced first.\u201cl'A like to know be at you want by sitting up to *this time iC owas close on one.) I know it know enou sake ; like if didn\u2019t (hic) gh to find my way in this house nt; besides wasting the light and wood © is manner, as if I didn't have to work tb get these laxuries (bic), and you wasting yon his manner, making pretensions 1 80 industrious, knitting a t deal (io) no doubt ; just took ing Shen av hoard me coming, Most likely A ing od some trifling company here, drink- +3 Up the tea which have to provide ; no Wonder | in tall vou.prie done so quick (Bic), bat I'll ain't a going to allow tb to Wasted in this way, \"That's Joo sad the short of it, T ain't ping to ours shovel.\u201d \u201c Boe here, Suooks, I think you had bet ter let up.I would like to know who wasted the most ?Here I have been sitting up all alone, sir, waiting for you to come home, knitting the very fingers off me to keep your foot warm, and this is the abuse I get.The other night you came home and I bad gone to bed, and you gave me fits for not sitting up until you came.I am sure I don't foow how to manage in such a state of af- airs.\" \u201c 1 tell you, Mrs Snooks, you ain't in any State of Affairs (hic), this is the Dominion of Canada and this here is my dwelling- place, and I ain't going to stand any more (hie) of your harangues, Do you hear that ?arious thing I can\u2019t have a little jolly (hic) time with my friends once in a long while, and just because I took a glass of beer at parting, I'm jawed to death when 1 come ome; its enough to turn one from ever coming home at all.\u201d \u201cI think you might as well stay, if you can\u2019t come home like other people and at seasonable hours, and without getting drunk and making a fool of yourself.\u201d \u2018 What do you say ?(hic), that I'm drunk! If you say that I'm drunk, I say you don't know much.I guess I know what Idrank, a couple of glasses of beer (hic); I'm sure that wouldn't make any body drunk.A body can\u2019t look at a drop with you but they're drunk : you're so smart.\u201d \u201cI'm smart enough to know that you ain't sober, and 1 think you ought to know botter than act so, and it is a heinous sin and shame for those who sell liquor to ive it to poeple until they get them drunk, \u2018Il bet if I had anything to do with the laws, I'd see whether they would give it to people in that way.\u201d \u201c0 yes, you'd be mighty smart (hic).What a pity you hadn't the trial to make the laws and govern this country ! I'll tell you what, you can\u2019t govern your own household let alone a nation.Its easy enough (hic) to make laws, but putting them iu force that's another thing.There is where the sticker comes in.\u201d \u201c Of course ; it's because the law-makers are law-breakers as well.\u201d \u201c When I makes a law, Mrs Snooks, I don\u2019t break it, but the worst is, I don't got the chance of making any for yon make all the laws in this house, and you think I must live up to them ; but I ain't going to stand it any (hic) longer, do you hear ?1 shall kick over the traces, do you hear ?\u201d \u201c No use of yelling in that way, I ain't deaf, but I'll let you know I ain't going to sit up here all night worrying and you having a good time with your boon companions, spending time and money.\u201d «It ain't your money, I guess.\u201d \u201cT'll just go too and see how you'll like that 1\u201d « T\u2019d like to catch you como poking after me.I guess you'd find (hic) 1 wasn't Spriggs to start for home like a sheep, when he seed his wife coming after him.\u201d \u201c What wonderful thing would you do ?If you have got so much spirit as that, I think you wouldn\u2019t bo seen sitting around a tavern or groggery, drinking their stuff until you're drunk ?\u201d \u201cTI eays I (hic) ain't drunk for the last time, and don\u2019t let me hear you whisper that again, madam, or I'll commit\u2014\u201d \u201c You hadn't better commit any of your decds bere, and 1 think the best thing you can do is to go to bed.\u201d \u201cI'll go to bed when I get ready, so you can go just when you have a mind to, for 1 shan't go to bed with one who is always jawing, growling (hic) and grumbling.No body can do anything to please you.A great deal of comfort I have with such a turmudgeon as you.\u201d \u201c1 ain\u2019t going to bo called Sturgeons and such names by you nor no one like you.I'll see if Grabb is going to be allowed to sell his detestable and abominable stuff to people and make them drunk and have them come home and abuse their wives and families in this way\u2014\" \u201c Whew, (bic) blow em up! Blow cm up! That's (hic) the hammer; pitch into the vendors and make them absquatulate the ranch.Hurrah for Mrs Snooks, if she gets at \u2018em she'll beat the Revenue Inspectors, councils and crown prosecutors.Say, will you want (hic) any security for costs?If you do, I go it.Who cares for exponse ?\u201d \u201c You're not fit for any body to speak to; you act like a fool.\u201d Mra Snooks retires.\u201c Mrs Snooks can go to bed by herself, for I'm blowed if 1 go.\u201d So saying Snooks blew out the lamp and lay down on the lounge, thinking to himself, no doubt, what a discomfort he was causing and what an ill-used person he was that ho could not stay out a fow minutes of an evening with a fow friends and talk over the Pacific Scandal, &c., without getting a blowing-up and called drunk when he came home.I'll just let her know that I'll do as I please,\u201d ho muttered, \u201c I'm not going to bo bossed in this way,\u201d &c.He fell asleep and snored loud enough to waken the seven sleepers.Some time before morning he woke up and wondered where be was.After fumbling about he began to find out his locality and also tho cause ot his boirg there.No mistaking the cause, indeed from the feeling, and quietly pulling off his boots, he made for the water pail, which was no easy matter without stumbling over sundry chairs, shoes, &c., and making a great racket, but whon the water is reached, a whole deluge of it is poured down into his stomach to quench the raging fire within that had been kindled by the poison imbibed the evening before.He then went back to tho lounge and sitting down meditated on past events, no doubt ealling himself a fool and asking whether he hadn't better go to bed, it was somewhat chilly.After thinking the matter over a little, and a few more visits to the water pail, ho concludes to go to bed with Mrs Snooks, wondering how and when he got home [he always forgot when in such a state], but with the firm belief if he doesn't know now he will in tho morning.With this consoling conclusion, he crept quietly into bed.orning awoke and so did Mrs Snooks, enance as she thundered forth, « Ain't you oing to get up Snooks ?\u201d 8 Ile oF man, quietly answered \u201c No.\u201d \u201c« at\u2019s the reason ?\u201d Timidly replied 8nooks, «I don't feel very well.\u201d +?Good enough for you ; you bad no busi- noes sitting up until all hours of the night and getting drunk nd coming homo and abusing your poor lonely e , callin my all the names you cou think of and threatening me.\u201d \u201c What's the use of telling such a story oe that « You don\u2019t believe me.Well, then, just in with a spoon and you throw out with a' remember if ever you abuse moe in the same but not with much of & smile on her count- fi manner way of x \u201c 1 wish you would redress yourself aad stop your noise, for my head aches.\u201d \u201c That will learn you to get drunk n.\u201c1 wasn't very drunk, I guess.\u201d \u201c Oh no, Joure never very drunk, and its wonderful how little it always takes to et you so!

and both being fast vessels they must therefore have been very noar Jamaica when the Virginius was overhauled, but os the captain and all the navigators and the crow of that vessel have been killed by the Spaniarde, they can put the distance at et ther please.| & conspiracy has been discovered in \u2018 wltaneousl \u2018 nius expedition.The ramifications throughout the Island, and was 1st November.Man persons are already arrested, and arrests da y increasing.The Vos hopes that the parties guilty of taki part in the conspiracy will be judged wit! the utmoat severity of the law.THE RECRIPT OF THE NEWS IN ENGLAXD.London, Nov.14.\u2014The seizure of the steamer Virginius by the Spanish authorities in Cuba, and the execution of a portion topic of conversation.length, and unanimously approve of the in- tho matter.prompt action by the Government at Mad.this morning in au editorial article on the Virginius captives has virtually decided the fato of the Island.The other London jour- The Spanish loan reached tho lowest figuro this morning yet touched on London Stock Market.of friendship for the United States, and expresses anxioty to do everything in its power not only to preserve but to strengthen the two countries, NEWS BY ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH, ment, today, made a further payment of $3,000,000 for bonds of tho United States funded loan.the Grand Duchess Mario of Russia.tagona roports that the cannonading continued all day yesterday, notwithstanding a violent storm.place.mascus, flag was insulted.fused.London, Nov, 15\u20145 A.M.\u2014A s roserves.30,000,000 thalors.eries.In one village alone 1530 porsons have starved to death.Coast Castlo, Africa, October 27th, say à scene of tho recont war, have been defeated, losing very heavily in I the ground.They are now moving back bably rally on the banks of the Prah.tality.Glover on tho right flank, work which he has nndertaken of a military Coomassie.saw and is collecting troops there and at Dungua, | far promises success.ment has addressed à remonstance to manuel in person.Throne the King said he hoped for a continuance of the work of internal organization, and thus Ital prosperity amid order and safety, the two indispensable conditions of industry and progross.\u201c It has beon shown that Romo might become tho capital without encroaching upon tho liberties of the Pope or the tions to tho Catholic world.Wo will re ty, but will not permit attacks upon the pation or its institutions.Our relations with all foreign powers are friendly.\u201d CANADA.all day yesterday, the drifts being two to three feet deep in many places.To-day is fine and bright, and the sleighin lent.\u2014Mdlle.Marie Caron, Honor Lieut.-Governor Caron, was married yesterday to Wm.Sharples, The cere mony was performod by the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Quebec.The church was crowded.A Bans OPINION.\u2014An inoffensive old cracked, regularly visits the Police during the trials.This morning a member of the Bar met her at the door of the Court.House, when she asked him if any executions had taken place to-day.He replied in the negative and added, \u201c Why, mother, qualify you to be a lawyer.\u201d The old lady opened her eyes very wide, held up her hands, and emphatically replied, \u201c God for- he, for the deil's in i these.Quebec, Nov.10.~Hon Messrs Archam.Havaus, Nov.16.\u2014Tho Vos de Cubasays baslt, Robertson, and Halguln town to-day to attend a meeting of the Exe.and surrounding jurisdiction for arising sim- cutive Council, at which Hon Mr Ouimet with the landing of the Virgi-|and Attorney-General Irvine were also pre- plot had ex ve sent.Legislature to have been carried into execution on the for the despatch of business.plications are made to prominent lumber wen by labourers to go work this winter for their board.i to the spirited effort of an enterprising of ber passengers and crew have oxcited the Scotch firm to establish a traffic in live cat.liveliest foelings of indignation in this city, \u201cle between New York and Glasgow.Dur-;

just to change the conversation, have you scen Mrs Homely's new silk since it was made up ?\" \u201cYes, and 1 don\u2019t like yak lace.I would'nt care so much about the lace, but she would not go to Madame Lamode to get it made for fear she would insist upon making it in the fashion, and actually has not a frill or a puff on the whole dress, and, what is more, I was up there the other Sunday afternoon and she had on that love ly imported silk in her own sitting room, with no company but hor husband and children.I gave her a hint about it, and said that, in my opinion, such a dress was only fit to go to the city in, or to some party.If you bad seen her flash out! She was \u2018 down on me like a needle,\u2019 and said she considered her husband had a perfect right to see her in her best clothes, and that she enjoyed dressing to please him far moro than for strangers who did not care a pin about her.Sho enid \u2018 Donald Homely bought her clothes and had tho best right to seo her wear them ; that she despised any woman who decked herselfin the gayest dress to please strangers\u2019 cyes and thought any dowdy faded wrapper good enough for husband or intimate friends.\u2019 Just fancy, Lottie, dressing up in state to receive your own husband, and expecting his admiration ! I tell you, if I marry, I shall offener be secn in my petticoat and short gown, than anything else.If I have to stay at homo from parties and promenade for the coming man, I think a little less may satisfy his Lordship than putting on my best dress to suit his fastidious taste.\u201d \u201cYou don't know what you would do, dear,\u201d said Lottio the wise, and talking thus of the future.so dim, so brilliant to girlish eyes, 80 full of promiso and joyous anticipation, that sces no cloud or sorrow on the road, they passed the long autumn evening, unheeded and unheeding the outer world.CHAPYER SECOND.Ten years passed away ns years will, with storms and sunshine, gladness and sorrow.Once more the golden harvest was garnered, and the autumn ovenings made the fireside the most pleasant shrine.The little village where our story is located had grown to a town, and the sewing machine and steam plow made work light, and pleasant for farmers and their wives.The town baker sent out every morning his freight of food, the cooperative cooking establishment sent hot joints to every farmer's door, and although sleek, large-eyed cows, came home morning and evening to be milked, and were tied in their stalls for that purpose, the cow milkers brought to a perfection of working made this toil easy and simple, and the factories, for buster and cheese, rendered dairy work easy.The age of frilling bad passed by.The woman who before spent'every spare \u2018 moment making over her one or two suits, in pitiful imitation of her city neighbour, had now time for culture and recreation.Flowers and music, with good pictures and literature, were seen in every house, and it was quite ausual thing for the best lecturers of the day to visit the neat little roading rooms that were the pride of the town.On the evening when our story Te-opens, & pro- minbnt logeslator was to address the assembled people, and, being aresident among tom, the cariosity and interest was greater then weusl.The Hou Allan Gophor was a farmer who had won bonor and distinction in his Life sarees, whose farm was noted for of tho coming age.being the first in any new improvement, and to whom all his neighbours looked up as the first man among them.lle had made them proud of him in bis parliamentary carcer, and, I was worshipped as a star of tho first magnitude by the belles of the littletown.Lottie Lansing had long since married, and gladdens the home of a worthy farmer in the district, whore she has bocome a model wife and mother, and a kind friend of {fg dis \"proper vessel was chartered, the glitterin i froight was estimated, tho boxes full of do \"| lars were weighed and embarked, and on: the deck of the ship a sufficient number were miscellaneously opened and scen ; #0 although nover married, that overything was apparently asclearand angry debate, tho Peachum and straightforward as the most prudent insure\u2019 rors of the cargo could require.Captain | Wavo (wo invent another name) was & man | of known charactor, and to his charge the 'cargo was formally committed ; and the | worthy skipper, having the precious deposit carofully numbered and ontcrod most par- ' ticularly in his logbook, stowed tha whole tressed and afflicted.The sensiblo idea of safely away, where neither land-rats nor ber girlhood, that did not expect too much, that did not cause her to ignore or despise little children as a burden to society, have { water-rats could touch the trust.The fol- \"lowing day at noon, with a favouring breeze, ' \"tho ¢ Lucky Pearl\u2019 sped on her course, and \u2018Mr Sterling was loft for a season only to given her a pleasant and practical view of dream of the many pounds into which life in its cvory aspect, and as a happy | house mother she fulfils her mission and her children call her blessed.Allan Gophor watched the lady, whom he had once thought to call his wife, as sho entered the hall, with a prim mincing step and fusay air, that scemed but affectation in a maiden of thirty, and folt at last that every emotion of love had died in his heart, and that hecould forget the wrong Libbie Wynn had done him when sho deliberately told him she © would not marry à farmer,\u201d and go back to the city, whoro a sweet girl lived, who had promised to be his wife, without one regretful thought for the lost love of his youth.And while discoursing that ovening on the social position of farmers and their wives, his voice rang out with deep pathos, and true feeling as he concluded with words of truth and tender meaning :\u2014 \u201c And now, my friends, I must bid you good byo.The duties and changes of life cause me to remove from your midst to the new home 1 have been making for myself in tho city, where my work lies.But you are the strength of society ; your wives and daughters the mothers and sisters of those who will be tho brightest ornaments With you the idea of marriage is entertained sacredly and reverently ; there is not so much temptation or inclination for a union of expediency, and the fair girls who grow up around you, like woodland blossom, are not ashamedjto assist in household duties, or caroless of the graces of the mind.marry a farmer was thought a descent in social position is past, some fow may yet despise our calling but they are not of those The occupation given to tho first man by tho Groat Creator is surely The time whon to who understand.one that none need bo ashamed of following, and tho peaceful: quiet lives you live are mere conducive to purity and happiness of soul and body than any other earthly work can be.It has frequently been remarked to mo that so few of tho legislators of our country are farmers and that the doctor has to leavo his patients, the lawyer his pleading and the merchant his store, to represent an agricultural population.But this, too, is among tho things of the past.The generation now arriving at maturity arc possessed of equal intelligence, cqual culture, equal brains, and are able to compete with any other honorable calling for the places of responsibility and trust that the world gives only to thoso who aro known by thoir polished manners and superior education.I know there aro many among you who, without the graces and refinement of lifo, have ever been noted for sound judgment, clear heads, and business habits, who think, though you may not utter the words.The soul-searching poet, Whittier, sings, of his pleading lover farmer : \u2014 « You think because my lifo is rude 1 take no note of sweotness ; I tell you, love has nought to do With meetness, or unmeetness, Itself its best excuso, it asks No leave of pride or fashion, When silken zone or homespun frock It stirs with throbs of passion.\u201d And in your pleasant home lives, where aro now enthroned the queens of your hearths, where the loving home mother grows dearer and nearer to tho eyes that see no fading of cheek or lip, no linos of care on the once smooth brow, you live the trucat life, the nearest to Ileaven that mortals are permitted in this world, and of the true wife you all may say, « Our homes nre chcerior for her sake, Our dooryards brighter blooming, And all about the social air, Is sweeter for her coming.\u201d PE PILLAR DOLLARS\u2014A TRUE TALE OF MARINE INSURANCE.Tas following tale I venture to tell, as it was lately narrated to mo by one who narrowly escaped a heavy loss by the dotection and defeat of the nefarious scheme.In ono of the most mercantile of our Indian communities, Bombay, there resided, some years ago, 8 prosperous merchant of high repute for character ns well ns position.He was active in business, \u2018 took care of tho main chance,\u2019 \u2018 dealt upon the square,\u2019 paid his way punctually, amaseed capital, and was respected by all who knew him, as well as by all who did not.Ilaving realized sufficient wealth, Mr Sterling (for so let us call him) thought fit to announce his intention to retire from busy lite and, to prepare for the change.he called in all his debts, and advertised the roady payment of all claims upon him: in short, he wound up his affairs in 8 manner worthy of his reputation ; and as, at that time, the price of silver, as a merchandise, offered the largest rospect of profit, ho resolved to embark to is utmost extent in speculating upon that pure-visaged metal.The Presidency was ransacked for his purchases, every available market was dealt with, snd so great wore his operations, that he created quite a little temporary monopoly in the article suited to his purposes.It became now only necessary to export and sell it to the best advantage ; and this was easily and readily accomplished.A his dollars would bo converted.It * was to him a pleasing dream\u2014according to the Irish superstition, a ¢ morning dream,\u2019 land thorefore \u2018 sure to comd truo.\u2019 Indeed, \"boing amply insured, he had little to fear ; ! bat still, Bon onc\u2019s argosies are afloat, the 14 Morchant of Vonice\u2019 (caches us what ovils may befall thom.i So it happened with the \u2018 Lucky Pearl : She had not sailed a week when she was assailed by a foarful tempest, called a typhoon, \"and wreeleed on the Arab coast, broaching over, as the dejected captain pitcously dos- cribed it, broadside to, so close to the leo shore that the top of her mast could almost todch the low rock, as it was washed ovor by the furious sen, Of the crew, two or thero were missing, supposed to bo lost ; ho and the rest escaped from drowning by almost a miracle, and after oncountering many difficultios and hardships, they arrived at Bombay, almost naked, to tell the melancholy tale.It was no doubt, a sad misadventuro.Mr Sterling lamented it greatly, and got up a subscription for the unfortunate captain and his surviving comrades, heading it with a munificont donation.In the usual routine of such transactions, tho insurers were required to pay the loss; and the specifica tion was so comploto, and withal so minute, that it seemed a matter of a, b, à, to hand over the money, and let Mr Sterling depart in peace.But it is remarkable how a but often steps in to do the very reverse of an if, which we havo a high authority for considering as ¢ your only peacemaker ; wloro- as tho but seems to bo but tho Loginning of our greatest disputes and differences.here happened to bo among the insurers, one merchant who had extensive concerns with Lima and other Hispano-colonial ports in tho Pacific Ocean, and was consequently aware that what aro called pillar dollars, from being impressed with the arms of Castile, are held in higher estimation there, and exchange indeod for a much higher value than the dollars of any othor coinage, country, or description.Ilo knew with how much search and trouble he had been able to procure any important quantity of this apecio to send round Cape Ilorn, atany timo, to improve his Peruvian trading ; and ho felt somo surprise at Mr Sterling's having suceceded in gathering together so vast a treasure as he appeared to have dono from tho specification in question.Ilo reflected and the moro he reflected and pondered, the stronger grow his doubts and misgivings.There ensued a delay\u2014timo for further in quiry : people do not like to part with their money under a cloud; it made a tremendous stir in (Lo commercial world ; and Mr Sterling was heard to designate the insurers as little better than a pack of swiadiers, who repudiated a just obligation upon the groundless surmiso of ono of themselves.Froquent moetings took place, and examinations and re-oxaminations scomed to lead to no practical result.On ono of these occasions, it so happened that the captain of a Yankee bark, one Agamemnon Dodgson by name, was among the auditors, and heard the repeated evi.denco of Captain Wavo relative to the wreck of the * Lucky Pearl.\u201d Foul play being once suspected, every part of the affair was gifted more and more sharply ; but nothing distinct could Le made manifest, nothing tangiblo against tho wreck on the rocky shore of Arabia, and tho dissclution of the ¢ Unlucky Pearl.\u201d Captain Wave was too precise to admit of his account being controverted : ho described the locality, familiar to other seamen, and laid down the spot on the map, within a yard almost of the ox- act longitude and latitude.Nono of this was lost upon the Yankee's listening car.Tho story was so porfoot that itimmediately struck him ns strango\u2014* too good to be true'\u2014probably untrue.So, without saying a word to anybody, Captain Agamom- non Dodgson boated out to his craft, and long bofore the morning watch was miles from tho harbour, on his way to examine the desolate and fatal point on which lay the romains of the poor ¢ Lucky Pearl\u2019 and storm-engulfed woalth of tho submerged pil- Inr dollars.Perhaps there might bo something to pick up; perba sa discovery to ¢ smash all creation,\u2019 and by enriching him at one grand coup, sond him along rejoicing to the land of the west.Nor did his vaticination disappoint him, As sure as he arrived at the latitude and longitude described ho caught a glimpse of the lost ship.There she lay, broadside to, as related, but partinlly recovered by wind and obb tide, so that the lower side of her deck was barely under wator.What a vision, what a haul, for our enterprising and sagacious navigator! The work was spoedily sot about; and in the course of twenty-four hours, every box was extricated from the wreck, and, together with other stores needful for the long voyage now in viow, tranaferrod to tho American clipper.Every hand was promised rich reward, and tho sun set upon as jovial a crew ns evor sustained the glory of the Stripes and Stare on the boundless oconn.But (but again) before turning in for the night, the captor of tho treasure chorished a fancy to have a glanco at it, to satiate his rapacious sight.box was brought into tho cabin, and the lid broken open.Ah, ah | what dazzled his eyes ?Sand and brickbaths ! Was this a sample of tho whole ?It was.So vanished the silver cloud on the New York horizon.Disappointed in the fruition of his hope, ox- aspornted and rovongeful, but still possessed of the cunning of the serpent, our advontar- or quiotly steered his courso back to Bombay, and anchored, almost unnoticed, whore ho had loft not very many days before, Meanwhile, tho \u2018assuranco caso had - approached a settloment, and there was no time to bo wasted.Ilis first and instant visit on shoro was conseqnontly to Mr Sterling, to whom he cer emoniously rovealed the surprising secret of the brickbaths, and prodaced a sea-sonked sample that would avo done credit to Nineveh or Babylon.Indeed, no arrow-headed characters or hieroglyphics ever caused a greater sensation.ough Mr Sterling could not decipher the inscription like a Layard, he perfectly understood the meaning; and, to shorten our tale, after much haggling and kit of the dollar cargo came to a rascally compromise, and agreed to divide the spoil ¢ as per invoice,\u2019 Captain Agamemnon having sworn never -to divulge the mystery to human being.On their pillows that night, everything considered, the confederates solaced them- solves somowhat satisfuctorily, the one with the conclusion that it might have been better.And by morning this latter idea had swollon into a resolve, and tho resolve into action.For a certain substantial bribe the insatiablo Dodgson communicated to the insurers tho information which saved them from the most adroit fraud which had been dovised to plunder them ; and Mr Sterling and Captain Wave were somewhat astonished to find themselves, within n few hours, fellow lodgers (though with more limited intercourse than had before existod betweon them) in the ugly gnol, which has not a window open to the plensant view of Ele- phanta and its wonderful caves.Fino and imprisonment, degradation and ruin, terminated their vilo carcer in the oast, and sent them beggars to London to increase, for a brief season, the number of the convict scoundrels who infest that metropolis: now, chained together in penal servitude, they expiate thoir guilt, and will be seen umong honest mon no more, As for their betrayer, with some pillar and many othor dollars, he departed for the States, and reached his port and landed in the highest spirits.Ilis wealth and patriotism made him to be spoken of for Congress, and ho journoyed towards the far west, whoro ho was informed ofa constituency ready to clect him.Unfortunately, on his route he encountered another candidate, who was \u2018 progressing' on the samo errand ; and they quarrelled, and a bowie knife ended his ignominious carcer.Crime does not always meet its rotribu- tion in this world ; but in this instance the end of all concerned was disastrous enough to satisfy even-handed justico, and to leave a striking warning and useful lesson, THE NEW BOOTS.It is a little singular how well a pair of boots ean bo made to fit at the store, Yon may not bo able to get your foot only part way down the leg at tho firet trial, but that is because your stocking is hot, or you haven't started right; and the shoemaker suggests that you start again and stand up to it, and he throws in a little powder from à poppor-box to aid you.And so you stand up, and pound down your foot and partly trip yourself up, and your eyos stick out in an unpleasant manner, and ovory voin in your body nppears to boon the point of bursting, aud all the while that dealer stands around and oyes the operation as intently as if the whole affair was perfectly new and novel to lim.When your foot has finally struck bottom there is a faint impression on your mind that you have step- red into an open stove; but he removes it by solomnly observing that ho never saw a boot fit quite as good as that.You may suggest that your too presses too hard against the front, or that some of the bones in the sido of the foot are too much smashed, but he says that is always tho way with a new boot, and that the trouble will entirely disappear in a few days.Then you tale the old pair under your arm and start for home as animated as a relic of 1812, all the while feeling that the world will not look bright and happy to you again until you [have brained that shoomaker.You limp i down town the next day, and smile all the while with your mouth, while your eyca look as if you were walking over an oyster bed barefoot.When no ono is looking, you kick against a post or some other obstruction, and show a fondnoss for stopping and resting against something that will sustain your weight.When you get home at night you go for those old boots with an eagerness that cannot bo described, and the remarks you make upon learning that your wifo has disposed of thom to a widow woman jn the suburbs, are calculated to immediately dopopulate the carth of women and shoemakers generally.STRANGE SCENE OF DEVASTATION IN IRELAND.Mn W.L.Trescil, writing tothe London Times to appeal to tho charitablo for aid for certain unfortunate families, gives this account of the byrsting of an Irish bog.He Says : \u201c1 have just returned from inspecting one of the moat pitiful scones of tho sort it has been my fato to witness since I saw the remains of the village of Visp, in the Rhone Valley, Switzerland, aftor its destruction by flood some years ago.Tho scone ta which I refer as the result of the bursting of a bog, situated about throo miles east of the town of Dunmore, in the northern part of Galway County, Heretofore this bog was connected with the Dun- more River, at Dunmore, by a small stream called the Corrabel River, flowing through a continuation of pasture and tillage lands in its conrse.The level of the upper surface of the bog wae formerly 260 feet above the sea, and that of tho water at Dunmore 190 foct, showing a fall of 70 foet.Up to a fortnight ago this bog presented the usual appearanco of most of our undrained bogs, i.©, its skirts, adjoining tho arable land, consisting of high turf banks, its centro being exceedingly wet and spongy.* On the 1st of October the farmer occupying n farm ou the Corrabel stroam, near- ost the bog) was d'eging his potatoes, when ho suddenly observed a brown mass slowly approaching him.Ho left his spado in the round and wont for the neighbours.On is roturn the mass (which was the movin bog) had half covered his potato fiold, an complotely hidden from sight his field of corn, with tho excoption of a few stooks, situated on a knoll ; they still remain an island in the middle of a scene of desolation.This was but the commencement ; since then the bog has continued to advance in a rolling mass, continuing its course right down the Valley to Dunmore, burying in its way three farm houses and covering at least 180 acres of pasture and *arable Iand to a depth in some places of six feet.Tho unfortunate occupyers of tho three farms have been turned, by this visitation of Providence, farmless and homeless, with their families on tho world.\u201c At Dunmore a small bridge has been removed, near the junction tho Corrabel stream with the Dunmore River, to afford rolief to the lands up the valley, and & bog.laden torrent is being disch into Iatter river.The worst may said to be over, but tho discharging powers of that river will be materially affected by this influx of solid matter.The source of this disaster presented a wonderful appearance.The subsidence at the discharging point cannot be less than about 35 feet.The extent of the bog affected is most clearly defined by a series of black \u2018crevasses,\u2019 where the upper crust of the bog has, by the subsidence below, beon torn asunder.The whole assumes the form of a crater half a mile in diameter.\u201c With considerable difficulty we piloted our way to the centre, where we found the brown liquid bog boiling out like a stream of lava and feeding the moving mass in the valley below.At the point where the bog burst, tho turf banks were forced right over the ground on either side, and assumed somewhat the appearance of \u2018moraines.\u2019 \u201c This and similar disasters to which this country is liable must be attribujed to the absence of a complete and good system of drainage.A similar catastrophe occurred a couple of years ago, occasioned by the back-water of the River Suck, near Cast- lerea.\u201d UNITED STATES.In September, 1866, one Daniel McVeigh, \u201c from Canada,\u201d came to this place intending to purchase land.Ho had about 8700 with him.lle mystoriously disappeared a few days after his arrival.The skeleton of a man has recently been found in the vicinity of where he was last seen, the skull bone showing marks of violence.Certain peculiarities of the skeloton may possibly be remembered by his friends, if they could bo found, which might lead to tho positive identity of tho romains ; the identity of tho remains positively established may lead to the disclosure of the murderer.Should this come to the notice of his friends, they will please correspond with T.G.Emsloy, Mason City, lowa.The postmaster of Boston recently gave a lecture on the postal service, and illustrated the proverbial carelosaness of letter writers by showing his audience 200 letters taken in the office tho previous day, which were not properly prepaid or directed, and 250 postal cards with all sorts of messages on the backs, but nota sign of a direction on tho face.Long after\" the Ciceronian efforts of the antimonopolist orators in the present campaign at tho west are utterly forgotten, wo shall be likely to find the following absurd verses cropping out in the miscellancousde- partment of almanacs, and in the facetie columns of newspapers :\u2014 1 want to bo a granger, And with the grangers stand ;
