EvANEsCENcE OF PRoPERTY.-It is
we'll for both rich and poor to be often
reminded Of the extreme changeable-
ness of their condition in this country.
Jud o Story remarked, with great JUS
tice as well as force, in his speech in
the Massachusetts Convention -" In
our country, the highest man is not a.
bore the people; the humblest is not be-
low the people. If the rich may be
said to have additional protection, they
have not additional power. Nor does
wealth here form permanent distinc-
ton offamilies. Those who are veal
thy to day pass to the tomb, and their
children divide their estates. Proper.

sumo. TO Botany Bay. II seems that the
turbulent rogues were minded 10 steer
their course in some other direction. for
they had not got out Of sight Of land, when
sure Information was given to the captain
that nineteen Of them had managed to
throw off their letters, and had arranged
plan to master the crew and officers, set
them adrlIt IN the long boat, and retain pc.
session of the ship. 1t luckily happened,
that almost Immediately after this discove
ry brisk gale sprang up, and the rascals
grew very sea sick, and of course very
helpless /; to use the expression ofthe pilot,
who brings this information, they were all
F" as weak as cats" Thereupon the captain
had them brought up, one by one. from be-
low-stripped to the buff and be labored
with cat o. nine tails, till they roared for
mercy. Then they were carefully hand
cuffed and heel cutted. and otherwise pro.
vided for-and the ship went on her way,
with reasonable prospect of fulfilling her
voyage in perfect safety TO all the parties.

DEFENCE OF PoLYGAMY-Ihe discus,
sion in the Calcutta papers on the subject
of polygamy has brought forth the follow
ing defence Of it by native
"Sir !: You Englishmen are very fond
Of complaining against the natives Of this
country, because they marry many wives
IL your religion and the customs Of your
country don't allow you TO have more than
one woman as wife, why should we be
guided by you, who are of another nature
and religion ? 1t is true thing. which
every body acquainted with Asia knows,
that there are more women than men 10
this couniry-whether because more fe.
males are born, or because you English
men kill the males in battle, magicians can
only tell. Then in this case, giving one
woman TO every man, what's to become OF
the remaining many women ? They must
have some body TO love them. The plain
truth is, we are destined by Nature 10 have
many wives and much happiness it is
our good fate to have many wives--it has
been so from the beginning of the world.
Don't then, pray. intelere with the decree
of Nature"

THE DADE MASSACRE.

The Boston Post publishes the fol-
lowing interesting account Of the Mas.
sacre Of Major DADE's detachment in
Florida, in December, 1885, taken from
the lips of RANSOM CLARK, the sole
survivor of that dreadful action who is
now in Boston:
"Our detachment, consisting Of III
men, under command of Major DADE,
started from Fort Brook, Tampa Bay,
on the 18th December, and arrived at
the scene of action about eight O'Clock
on the morning ofthe 2stb. 1t was on
the edge of pond, three miles from
the spot where we had bivouacked on
The night previous. The pond was
surrounded by tall grass, brush, and
small trees. A moment before we
were surprised, Major DApE said to us
- We have now got through all dan
ger; keep up good heart, and when
we get to Fort King, III give you three
DAYS for Christmas.
AT this time we were in path, or
trail, on the border Of the pond and
the first notice that we received of the
presence of the enemy was the dis
charge of a rifle by their chief, as a slg-
nal to commence the attack. The pond
was on our right, and the Indians were
scattered round, in semlcircle, on our
left, in the rear, and in advance-rea-
ching at the two latter points to the
edge of the pond but leaving an open
ing for our entrance on the path, and
similar opening on the other extreml-
ty for the egress ofour advanced guard
which was permitted to pass through
without being fred on, and of course
unconscious of the ambuscade through
which they had marched. AT the time
of the attack, this guard was about a
quarter Of a mile in advance of the
main body following in column two
deep. The chiefs rifle was followed
by a general discharge from his men,
| and Major Dade, Capt. Frazier, and
Lieut.. Nudge, together with several
non. commissioned officers and privates
were brought down by the first volley.
Our rear guard had six FOUNDER,
which, as soon as possible, was hauled
up, and brought to bear uponthe ground
occupied by the unseen enemy, secre'
ted among the grass, brush, and trees.
The discharge of the cannon checked,
and made them fall back, for about
haitian hour. About twelve Of us ad.
vanced, and brought our wounded and
the arms, leaving the dead. Among
the wounded was Lieut.. Nudge, who
Twas speeches.. We set him up agalns

Few people, except builders, are aware
Of the advantage of ,oetting bricks before
laying them. A wall twelve inches thick
built up of good mortar with bricks well
soaked, is stronger in every respect than
one sixteen inches thick built Of dry. The
reason of this is that if the bricks are satu
rated with water. they will not abstract
from the mortar the moisture which is ne
cessary TO its crlstalization, and on the con.
trary they will unite chemically with the
mortar, and become almost as solid as a
rock On the other baud if the bricks are
put up dry they Immediately take up all the
moisture from the mortar, and leave it too
dry, TO harden, and the consequence is,
that when building Of this description Is
taken down, or tuusbles down of its own &C,
cord the mortar falls from il like so much
