state great excitement prevails, owing to the in

We will barely add that if Lewis Tappan, and
his brother Arthur, and the rest of the traitor gang
are so Indifferent to consequences as one might
suppose from their frequent repetition of their de
termination to prosecute their schemes, " come
lie or DEATH" they had better pay us a visit in
prop''o persona. They can never have any idea,
until they do SO, of the extent of Southern obi-
cations, and otthc nature of Southern gratitude.
W The Ny. Evening Post is quite asonsh-
eo mat slavery should not be deemed evil by
some Southern writers, and falls into an hyscricaI

ABOLITION allies to impress them wiha conviction

an eVll-bu, evil or no evil we shall not the less
resist the impairment interference of FOREIGN inter-

NEw METHOD OF RoorING. We have ex-
amined this morning, with much interest, a
new and very ingenious plan for roofing hous-
es, patented by Mr.. & Southwick fWayne
county. The plan consists Of an arrange
ment of zinc plates, about ten by eight inch
es. or larger if required, so cast with grooves
and bars that they fit exactly to each other
on being laid, and constitute, as it were but IA
single plate, covering the entire roof. Each
plate is fastened by one nail until another
plate is joined to it, the particular excellence
of the plan being that every plate by means
of its grooved edge, binds down the one laid
before it, and all are locked together, in the
end 50 that without beginning at the last one
put on, and proceeding regularly in reverse
order, not one Of them can be removed. 1t
is evident that by this contrivance roofs are
rendered completely fire and water proof
The patentee informs us thar the cost will
not vary much from that ola slate roof

( LBERIA.-We are pleased to find that the
state of Tennessee has passed an act to en-
courage the emigration Of free persons of col
or to the country of their fathers, where they
may enjoy all the blessings ofa free govern
ment, in preference to remaining here. Ten
nessee has done this, by simply providing
that ten dollars be paid to the American Col
onization Society, or any other, for every free
person Of color which they shall remove from
that state to a colony in Africa provided for
their reception. We shall be glad to hear
that all the southern states follow the exam
pie thus set them-but as it is estimated that
every adult enIigrant carried to Liberia, in
cludlng his maintenance for six months in
the colony, cost sixty dollars, it would seem
proper that the state of which such emigrant
formed part might sustain larger portion
than one-six:h Of the expense. In the year
1888, Virginia passed an act allowing, we be-
lievc, twenty Ugh. dollars for tho removal Of
each free emigrant from that state to Liberia.

it seems almost impossible that any one can
read it through without being entirely con-

had such-liko stories enough we should think

more than one OF our most sagacious cater

Bloody renconter IN .\cw OrieanS.--A very
shocking tragedy has again taken place in
New Orleans. Mr. q. y. Bright having been
met in the suburb Marigny, by his brother.
in-law, Mr.. Henry Manpassant, and the lat
ter having made violent assault, and mani.
tested disposition to repeat it, Bright drew
pistol and shot Manpassant dead upon the
spot. He then delivered himself to the nu-
Dicipal authorities, and was admitted to l-ril
in the sum of $1,000. The difference be.
tween the parties arose only from disagree.
ment between them about some pecuniary
matters. We see it stated in one Of the
New Orleans papers that Mr.. Manpassant
had no other weapon about him but his cane.

quently now arrived at the astonishing
age Of l6l gears She weighs but 46
lbs, and yet is very cheerful and inter-

paralleled degree, converses freely

fifteen children, the youngest Of whom
died two years ago at l6 years Of age.
She has FIVE great grand children, now
the slaves of VIM. Bowling, Esq. of Pa
ris, Kentucky, to the purchase of whose
freedom the proceeds Of her exhibition
are to be appropriated. She has her
self been taken care Of many years in
Mr.. Bowling s family. She was baptiz-
ed in the Potomac river, and received
into the Baptist Church lie years ago,
as appears by the records of the Church.
The most eminent hysicians and intelli-
gent men, it appears, both in New York
and Philadelphia, have examined this
Huing skeleton, and the documents ac-
companying her, and all concur in the
belief that she is as old as represented.
The Providence Journal Of Monday,
says she will remain in the city during
the present week, to accommodate many
hundreds who have thus far been unable
to see her.
The CHINESE Lady, with her lille
