The U. S. sloop Of war Vincennes, which
arrived at Norfolk few days since from a
voyage around the world, had sailed $1,000
miles since leaving the United States in
November 1888. Says the Norfolk Beacon.
"The Vncennes proceeded to the Na,i-
gators Islands at one of which, [Otewhy, !
a part Of the crew of the whale ship vii,
liam Penn, had lately been cut of. Hav-
ing approached within few miles of Ote-
why, the ship was disguised to proven,
premature alarm, and soon received visit
from the natives. These were all detan
ed on board, while an armed force of sea
men and marines was sent on shore, with
orders to take, alive or dead, the Chief
Popetuno. who had committed the outrage
upon the William PENIS boats, or, in case
of escape, to burn all the property which
could be ascertained to belong to him
Landing, in obedience to these orders. the
party proceeded, under the guidance Of a
European resident, several miles into the
interior, searching the villages through
which they passed for the criminal, but
carefully avoiding all violence toward those
who had not been engaged in the murder.
DuTiuS tHese proceedings hu ihteTTuPtion
was experienced from the natives, who were
themselves frequent sufferers from aggres.
sions of this same Popetuno, and seemed
generally DESTROYS to be relieved of his
presence; he had however, taken the alarm
and made his escape into the interior of the
island, SO that after a fruitless search sew.
eral hours, his houses were reduced to
ashes, and his property destroyed wherever
it could be found. Having effected this
and taken measures to ensure a friendly
reception to any ships that may in future
visit the Island, the Vincennes took leave
of Otewhy, in the confidence that the
punishment which had been inflicted on a
real aggressor, had not been productive of
better effects than the justice with which
the innocent had been carefully exempted
from the smallest share Of it.

Two justices of the Peace and OF the
Quorum in Taunton, Mass. have recently
forbidden the marriage banHs of man
and woman, on the ground that the paroles
were not Of sufficient ability TO maintain
themselves and ,Oere net Of competent ability
TO make contract Of marriage. 10 giving
this decision, the editor ofa Boston paper
remarks--"If the principle which appears
in the above decision should be generally
recognised, it will prove an elfectua check
to the extension ofpauperism, inasmuch as
it will tend to prevent Its being transmitted

INF UENoE OF AFFECTION. There is a
good uSa % Canth,g about involuntary aiIec-
ton in the world, and all that, but young
lady should never let such foolish notions,
gathered from books of romance, enter her
head. She should allow the pride OF
mind to keep her above every foolish and
vain running out ofslly preferences towards
this precious fop, and that idle attendant
on a lady's will. She should lay it up in
her heart as an immutable principle, that
no love can last if it is not based npon a
right and calm estimation ofgood qualities;
or, at least, that if the object upon which it
lie lavished be not one whose heart and whose
head are both right, misery will surely be
her ultimate portion. A sudden preference
for a stranger is very doubtful kind of
preference and lady who allows herself
to be betrayed into such silly kind Of af
fiction without knowing word Of the
mans character or disposition, is guilty ofan
indiscre,ion which not only reflects unfa-
vorably upon her good sense, but argues
badly for the nature and groundwork Of
that affection.

not generally known amongst mechanics,
that the salt called prussiate Of potash,

The method is to powder the salt, and

to be as hard or even harder than iron case
