IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT,
OR THE LAW OF ARREST.

OR THE LAW OF ARREST.
By Sir E. L. Bul,cer
Once upon a time there lived at Ham
rburgh a certain merchant of the name Of
Meyer; he was good little man; charita-
bic TO the poor, hospitabIe to his friends,
and so rich that he was extremely respect
ed in spite Of his good nature. Among that
part Of his'property which was vested in
other peoples hands, and called "debts, -
was the sum Of five hundred pounds, owed
TO him by the captain Of an English YES
sell This debt had been so long contract
ed, that the worthey Meyer began to wish
for new investment Of his capital. He
accordingly resolved to take a trip to Ports
mouth, in which town Captain Jones was
then residing, and take that liberty which
IN my opinion should, in a free country,
never be permitted, viz: the liberty of ap-
plying for his money.
Our worthy merchant one bright morn
ing found himself at Portsmouth,; he was
stranger to that town, but not altogether
unacquaintod with the English language
He lost no time in calling upon Captain
Jones.
And vat, said he TO a man whom he had
asked to conduct him to the Captains house,
wat Sh dat fine veshel yondareH
She is the Royal Sally replied the man
hound TO Calcutta, sails tomorrow: but
;here's Captain Jones' house, sir, he'll tell
you about it,
The merchant bowed and knocked atthe
door of n red brick house; door green, brass
knockcr Capt. Gregory Jones was a tall
ta bot ,bo,, Il.
he had high cheek bones, small eyes, and
his whole appearance was eloquent Of what
IS generally termed the bluff honesty Of o
seaman.
Captain Gregory Jones seemed some
what disconnected at seeing his friend; he
begged for Il little time. The merchant
looked grave; three years had already
elapsed-the Captain dcmurred-the mcr-
,chant Pressed-the captain bustered-and
the merchant growing angry, began to
threaten. All of q sudden, Capt. Jones'
manner changed; he seemed TO rccoIlcct
himself, begged pardon, said he could ca
silly procure the money, desired the mcr-
chant TO go back to his inn, and promised
70 call on him in the course Of the day.
Nynheer Mycr went home and ordered an
excellent dinner. Time passed, his friend
came not. Mynheer grew impatient. He
had just put on his hat and was walking
out, when the waiter threw open the door
and announced two gentlemen.
'Ah, dere comes de monish,' thought
Mynhccr Meyor. The gentlemen ap.
preached; the taller one whipped out what
seemed to Meyer receipt .Ah, yer WE'LL
] viii sign, vcr vell.'
Signing, sir, is useless; you will be kline
enough to accompany US. This is a war,

comfortable; gentlemen of the first fashion

NATCHEz. -Natchcz is the largest and
most important town in the state Of Missis-
sipp. 1t consists Of two distinct parts.
The lower town, called 'Natchez under the
hll' or the landing, is bult on a dead level
on the margin CT the river, about half a
mile in length, and from 100 to 200 wards
in breadth; and is occupied by warehouses,
tipping shops, boarding houses fer boat
men, &c. The upper town stands on d
lofty bank or bluff, rising abruptly to the
heighth of 300 feet, and is the residence Of
the better class of citizens. The streets
arc wide, regularly disposed, and adorned
with fine shade trees, while many Of the
houses are embosomcd in groves of the
orange, palmetto and other trees. and or
namental shrubs. Ia front Of the CITY is a
line espIanado, about one Mndred wards in
width, occupying the edge of the bluff, and
commanding an extensive and striking view
OF the river, the rich and beautiful country
IN the rear, and the wide, dismal swamp on
the western side of the Mississippi. Match
ez is 80 miles above New Orleans, vet
II carries on Il considerable direct trade
with foreign countries, and large ships come
up TO the town. lis riverand inland trade
is more extensive. In 1888, 3D., 600 bales
OF cotton were shipped from the port.
Here was formerly the residence of the
Great Sun. or principa chief Of the Match

savage neigh''ors, polished people. They
had an established worship and regular
laws, and on an altar cousncr rated ~ tho

OF the Great Spirit. In I7l6, the French,

tDIRGE FOR a YOUNG GIRL
FROM THE sPAnsH.-EY J I. TIELns.
Underneath the sol, low-lying,
Dark and drear,
Slccpeth one, who left, in dying,
Sorrow here.
Yes, they're ever bending DER her,
Eyes that weep;
Forms that TO the cold grave bore her,
Vigils keep.
When the summer moon is shining,
Soft and fair,
Friends she loved in tears are t"inlIs
Chaplets there.
Rest in peace, thou gentle spirit,
Throned above;
Souls like thine with God inherit,
Life and love.

Sweet is the early hour Of morn
With its gilt of diamond dew,
sNhen the Sky-!arks eye from earth is borne,
To gaze on the realms Of blue.
Ali dear to a Weakening world
This time of HE summers day!
The banner oflight is again unfurled,
Dispelling nights dreams away.
And the richer, glorious hour,
When the suns overpowering beam,
Hath added glow to the palest TOWER
eoIoring to the stream.
The hum Of the bee is heard,
But the breeze is faint and low,
And nougAt bat the butterdy's wings are stirred,
As from Leaf 10 leaf they go.
The shady evening hour,
Is q mightier hour than all,
For It's spell DER the heart of man hath power
Bright Visions TO recall
The features of the dead
All that the soul enshrined-
The tones of the loved, that have long since fed
Leaving waste behind.
These then DER his spirit come.
That have slept through the busy day,
When the bird is at rest, they haunt their home
And never, never stray.
Yet JOY, deep 10y for thee
Thou evening hour Of mirth
When the weary ones welcomed, with laugh anc
glee.
TO his own beloved hearth.
While Thy star doth shine above.
And we dwell amidst the free,
Last hours of the day, may peace and love
For ever gladden. thee!

WasnlSeToS, Dec. 9th, 1899.

NASHlSGIOS, DEC - III, lCDJ
To the Editors Of tic Penasyraaion-
Gentlemen:-From sundry articles in the presses OF
your city, appears that your community do not fully
understand the nature Of the difficulties existing be-
tween The Post Office Department and the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Company, relntive
10 the transportation Of the mails after the close Of the
present year.
The mail from New York for the West and South,
embracing two-thirs OF the Union, has for
time past remained at Philadelphia from = TO hours,
in consequence Of the refusal OF the Company ques
ton to run night line in connection with the evening
line from New York. AT no other point on the great
line from New York to New Orleans, and from Batl-
more to Louisville ky is any such delay incurred the
Railroad Companies in Virginia, North Carolina and
Georgia, not hestatng TO run night lines to keep up
the connection of the mails and the travel.
At the session preceding the last, Congress limited
the Postmaster General in contracting with Railroad
Companies to 25 per cent more than similar transport
taton would cost in Post Coaches and at the last ses
sion forbade allowance exceeding $500 per mile, for
any degree OF Railroad service, and a whatever hours,
not changing in other respects the provisions of the
preceding act.
AS the POSTMASTER General controls the hours which
the mails are carried b. Post Coaches he deemed it to
be within the clear meaning of the acts Of Congress,
that he should the control over the hours OF
Railroad service where he agreed to pay the NAHUM Of
allowable by law
With these views of the law and his duty under it,
he offered $500 per mile to the Company II question,
for two mails daily between Philadelphia and Balt-
stating his object TO be to connect them with the
morning and evening lines from New York
The company declined this proposition and asked
the round sum Of S3e0C0 for carrying the mails once
daily at hours selected by themselves. As their road
is some miles less than hundred in length, this sum
was more thsa the Department could legally pay tor
