ticularly fortunate in the time when all the
Generals children and grandchildren were
assembled together, preparatory to the OBJ
servance of some religious ceremony, to keep
in recollection the death OF the Generals
wife, and Geo. Washington Lafayette's
mother-in-law. There were about twenty
or thirty persons at table every day, the
greater part of whom were ladies, the two
daughters and the grand-daughters of the
General, with an extremely interesting
young lady, Miss Segur, daughter of the
count who wrete the Russian campaign.
had large chamber with every convenience
allotted to me, in which fire was kept,
and where were books and papers; about 10
o'clock a large bell in the castle assembled
every body in the parlour, from whence we
proceeded to breakfast; after breakfast all
ofus, except the General, took stroll over
the grounds, after which it was the usage to
retire into the chambers until about g. when
another bell assembled us to dinner: in the
intermediate time. however, was mostly
with the General, who was showing me on
one day, in the library the in mense number
of presents he had received from America;
or another what he calls his farm, which
we would call stables, barn and barn yard;
here he has all of his stock, poultry sc.

stables and folds: some pigs, wild geese and
turkeys, brought from America; his flock OF
sheep counts upward of 500, and are every
one genuine merino, raised from part Of
the fock sent by the King of Spain to Louis
the 10th. who gave them to him.
"After dinner, we all continued in the par
lour together, where we had coffee, and mu-
sc from the young ladies'; about 9 or 10, 6
cup Of tea, and retired about II or 12 tt

The committee on Agriculture, in the u.
S. Senate, appointed to consider Il memorial
from Pennsylvania, praying the prohibition
of the importation of ardent spirits, have re-
ported
That the dnties on foreign distilled spirits,
for the three years ending on the 31st of
Dec. 1924, amounted to S2,034, ,965--that in
the year 1916 there were 11,l4e,169 gal
Ions Of domestic spirits distilled, subject to
duties, which produced revenue of three
millions Of dollars. II is calculated that
l4,500,000 gallons were distilled in one year,
nine-tenths OF which were OF domestic ma
terials---that the revenue on this amounted
to S3,232 .906, and that if to the number of
gallons be added foreign spirits annually
consumed in the United States Of 4,5OO, 600,
the place of which would, IL case Of prohibi-
ton, be supplied by like quantity Of domes-
tic spirits, it will be found that small duty
per gallon, will be equal to the Whole rev
enue now derived from imposts Oil foreign
spirits, which offers complete remedy for
every possible inconvenience to the treasury
that could, upon any supposition, result from
the measure proposed.
1t would, therefore, appear from the
views which have been taken of the subject
that the adoption Of the measure would be
highly beneficial to very numerous class
Of citizens, whose pursuits have claims to
the fostering care Of the government, at least
equal to those OF any other, and that it could
not be peculiarly detrimental to any, nor in.
compatible with the general Interests, or
produce any inconvenience to the treasury

S2ave 7ra6e.-This, the very blackes
of our commercial transactions. is said to
be also the dullest carried on. About 1900
slaves, on sale have been imported into
Ncw-Orleans within the last four months.
Owing, however, to the scarcity of cash,
and the general want Of confidence, nearly
third of these negroes remain unsold. and
the prices are far from being what the
dealers anticipated. We understand that
a bill is now before the Legislature, pro-
hibitlng persons from making business OF
importing slaves from other states to sell
there.
About twenty of the Deputy Pilots. at the
balize, who, having disagreed with their en-
ployers, were offending against the peace.

rcsts that all Of the Sbuth American govern
ments were to be represented at this Con-
gress. to deliberate upon objectsIimportant 10
the welfare of all, and the republics OF Colon
bia. Mexico and Central America have al
ready deputed Plenipotentiaries to such
meeting, and that they, the above govern
ment, had invited the United States to be
represented at the proposed deliberations.
So far as those republics are concerned
there can be no doubt Of the authenticity OF
their proceedings in this respect, but the
project does not seem to meet the views OF
the other states, and whether this has defeat
ed the measure we are left at present to con-
lecture.
A circumstance of singular Character
occurred in an extensive auction establish
ment in Philadelphia, which is related as
follows: "a man was taken up and COM
mitted to prison on Tuesday or the follow
ing charge that on the 14th inst. he went
into the ware rooms of Comfy and Ievis,
took the marks off three pieces OF bed tick
en-, laid them aside, as his own, and obtained
from Mr.. Comfy an advance on them OF %
dollars, requesting him at the same time to
put tables on the goods as he had been una
BILE to do it, having no pen and ink. On the
10th the same person went into the same
ware-rooms, laid nine other pieces of bed
ticken with the three pieces on which he got
the advance, and then contrived, on the IL
pieces, to obtain from Mr.. Comfy an advance
of 500. Pretty early on Tuesday morn
ing. the same man went to the same store,
and was arrested and committed. He called
himself John Deany; the receipts which he
had given Mr.. Comfy, we're in two diHeren,
names, neither of them the same as that he
now assumed. 1t is justice TO remark. that
before the Alderman, he stoutly denied that
he was not the man, said he knew nothing oi
the transactions stated and that he could
prove he could not write"

The report which was circulated at Berlin
