singular an occurrence, IS might De expected,
has excited good deal OF establishment, and
furnished topic for conversation in every
Ii tie party, since The rumor first came out.
We have been a, some trouble 10 inquire into
the particulars, and the following is The result.
II appears poor deluded female came 10
town lew months ago. under mysterious cir
cumstances, which had induced her impru-
IDENTIFY to assume the attire of a man. She
boarded in house in town, and attended
school for the purpose oflearning to write, DC.
In this state she continued without exciting the
smallest su.picion until the end of the last
week. When becoming unwell, she was
obliged TO apply for medical aid, and her sex
was discovered. We have reason TO believe
that as regards the accouchment, the story is
NOT correct, as there has been no child in the
business. From her being literally supplied
with money, it is supposed she is connected
with some respectable person but the cause
Of her taking so imprudent step we have not

The editor Of the Baltimore MorningC hron-
icle remarks" The recent executions that
have taken place for piracy in various parts
Of the United States, and the number OF vic
tins now awaiting the vengeance OF The law,
only serve TO prove, 10 what an extent this evil
had gone, before il was arrested by the hand
of criminal Justice. II we suppose, that the
same energy had been put forth for the sup
preston of this nefarious business in its early
stages, as is now displayed, it wonld be too
much 10 believe, that the sword OF Justice
would have been so often and so deeply im-
bued with the blood Of our fellow citizens.
How many lives of ignorant men might have
been spared TO our country, men who we're
guided and governed by the preceden's SET
before ben, and who were hardly conscious
Of the preparation Of CRIME OF men whose

OF bouncing upon vuiures.-We observe, by
the dying declaration OF one OF these unhappy
victims al the sorh. that, criminal as he was
in the estimation Of Justice, he died for the

THE SLAVE TRADE.

Among the laws which passed The last ses-
sion of Congress. we observe with particular
appreciation, one for more efectually putting
and end to The detestable traffic in human flesh
by making it piracy and punishable with
death Three vessels whose names are sup
pressed, arrived on the 9Th of the present
month, at Havana, with no less than TOO slaves
from the coast Of Africa. From Havana they
will soon find their way to New Orleans, and

MISSOURI ELECTION.


The returns for Governor and Lieuten-

stand as follows:
For Governor -M'Nair, 3,H2; CLARK,
I,l86.
For Lieut.. Gou.--Ashley, 1896; Cook,

On this result the ST. Louis Gazette Ga
paper which has been steadily opposed TO
The introduction of slaves observes, " We
congratulate the public on the result Of
the late election, which establishes cor
rect principles on firm basis aud places
the man Of the people in the situation
which he deserves. The majority for

riffs, &c.
LRAD.-Missouri is famed throughout
Europe and America for the extent and
value Of her lead mines. She would be
able to furnish all the United States, the
West Indies, Mexico, and South America
with that article. In the mean time The
United States are purchasing lead from
England. About 100000 dollars per an.
nun is usually paid by Americans to
Euglishmeu for lead. Last year, howey.
| err, it was about 100000 dollars. The
difference Of the policy pursued by the
| two nations is the cause Of this state of
things. la England foreign lead pays a
duty Of 2Ol. lbs. Id sterling on every
quantity of 1901. worth imported; and
the lead mines are private property. 10
America foreign lead pays but little duty,
aud the mines are monopolized by the
government.
