THE BOUNDARY QUESTION.

The only extract from an English paper,
bearing upon our North Eastern Boundary
Question, which we have been able to find, is
the following from the London Spectator:
"The most interesting passage in the Presi-
dents message relates TO the disputed bounda-
ries; it informs us, from the other side of the
Atlantic, what our Government is doing. II
seems that the mode of settling the matter is
still under discussion in Downing st. The
President, judging from the desire evinced by
both Governments TO bring the dispute res
pecting the NORTHEAST boundary to settle
ment, and from the nature of the points still
under discussion, anticipates speedy conclu-
sion. Mr.. Van Buren, is not much versed in
"open questions" and their value-or at least
not so well as those in Downing street.
The American Government have also made
a proposition for referring the Lake of the
Woods boundary to arbitration, before it be-
comes quite so urgent and complicated ques-
ton as the Maine boundary. The proposition
is also under consideration in England.
Rumors had reached the United States of
the arrival of British troops within the disputed
territory. They were sent, according to the
report, by Lord Sydenham, without knowl-
edge Of Sir John Harvey; and it is said that
they were only passing through, on their way
to New-Brunswick, If there is any founda-
ton for the story, it certainly seems indiscreet
to have thus risked collisions and further COM
plications OF so embarrassing question.

"l'll bet hundred dollars of that-there

time you shall forfeit ten dollars, and if back
out, I'll do the same"

"Plank it! so | will-do you hear that"
Saying this he once more took out his pock-
ct book and began to tumble for the money.
"Come, man down with yourdust," said the
other taking out more money-"for Pm ready
to back my bet with another hundred dollars
or two hundred, as you like. Come, why do
you hesitate! Here's three hundred dollars

"Three hundred dollars" exclaimed the
boaster, staring like a stuck pig-"three hum

"You forfeit ten dollars, then?'
"Why, yes s'pose must" said the boast
er, handing over the money, with an air OF
great modification, "better to lose that than
more for there's no knowing how fast these
blame niggers will run. But any thing else
you can bring except the mule, the iackass and
the niger, Pm ready to run against"

A man by the name of Jean Baptiste Des
mares has been recently executed in France,
for assassination and theft. The following
very extraordinary circumstances led TO his
condemnation. A report was spread about
the country, the origin of which was traced
that the victim had bitten the assassins. This
report served as an indication to the Magis-
trates who caused all the persons suspected,
to be arrested and examined, to ascertain if
there were no traces of bites to be found on
them.
Desmares, who until that time had not been
suspected, was subjected to visit, and it was
discovered that his arm showed contucions
which were pronounced by the physician,
called to the examination, the result of bite
The body of the victim was then disnterred,
the head was taken off, and the teeth applied
to the arm of Desmares, and those who made
the application affirmed that the teeth per-
fectly fitted the holes of the wound. This
terrible trial was renewed before Jury, with
out producing much effect, because the scar
of the wounds had almost disappeared. The
scientific men who made the first application
of the teeth, persisted in the opinion which
they had then given, and this circumstance
was mainly instrumental in causing the con-
domination ofDesmares to capital punishment.
Desmares never publicly avowed his crime,
but ne abstained from protesting his innocence
in the manner he had first done.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l7,lS4

PiCillC OOulL
WASHINGTON, Feb. IL, lS4l.
The case brought up from the S tate of Mis-
sissippi, involving the validity of all slaves,
carried into that State since the adoption of
the Constitution in 1882, is now under dis
cusssion in the Supreme Court. Mr.. Jones
of this city, finished his argument this morning
when the Hon. Henry Clay commenced his
remarks and engaged the attention of the
Court, at large and intelligent assembly of
persons, who had been drawn into the court
room, under the expectation of hearing him.
He spoke for three hours, upon the points of
law involved, and in truth demonstrated the
correctness of the principles he advanced
lie set out, after an exordium on the immense
importance of the case-the millions involved
with the principles that the clause of the Con-
stitution of the State of Mississippi, declaring
'that the introduction of slaves as merchan-
disc into that State shall be prohibited after
May, 1885," was exclusively a mandate upon
the State Legislature, to enact laws making it
illegal to introduce them--having no obliga-
tory operation upon the people of the State or
others, until the Legislature had discharged its
duty under this provision of the Constitution,
by declaring by statute the introduction illegal,
as it intended should be done. If this princi-
pie was established in the mind of Court, as l
have very little doubt, without going any far
Their into an investigation of the other points he
made, the decision of the Court will be rover
sed, the Legislature not having discharged its
duty, and the contracts made for the purchase
of slaves since that period, will be made valid
and good. How otherwise should they be?-
They have the slaves of the people Of Virginia
Maryland Kentucky, and still hold them as
property. deriving all the benefits OF their Ia
Dor, and vet endeavoring to avail themselves
of provision in their constitution, which they
themselves had disregarded, by their own acts
and the acts of their legislature, and avoid the
payment of their just debts. Upon the sub
ject, Mr.. Clay evinced the nobleness of hi:
soul--the high and manly tone of honor, jus
tice and fidelity, he portrayed, and said should
characterize States as well as individuals, t.
every unbiased mind, carried deep conviction
that he stands pre-eminent an American
Patriot in thought, word and deed.

OR THE MAN WITH THE FAST HORSE.
A braggart was one day Boosting about the
Swiftness of his horse, and declared he could
outrun any thing which went upon four legs.
A neighbour of his disputed it, and said he had
amule which could beat him.
"a muleP said the boaster; cpl bet you a
hundred dollars of that"
"Donev' said the other.
"DoneE" said the boaster.
"Now cover that" said the owner of the
mule, laying down hundred dollars.
The boaster began to be frightened at this.
He thought there must be something more
about the mule than he was aware of, other
wise his owner would not plank hundred dol
ars, to run him against horse. He began to
hitch about uneasily. He put his hand in his
pocket; he pulled it out again; and at last
said, 81 don't know, swow, about the tarnal
mule; he may be mischief and all to run, fol

YUcATAN.-This splendid Peninsular has but
recently thrown off the yoke of despotism and
misrule of the Mexican government, and in
tends shortly to promulgate to the wprld her
intention of making formal declaration of In.
dependence, and to become incorporated into
the family ofnations.
Yucatan has already population of about
100000. Her inhabitants differ entirely from
those of Mexico, being quiet, peaceable, hard
working and industrious people. Those who
follow the fisheries, make first rate seamen.-
They have built some vessels, which in point
of workmanship and model, will vie with any
ever built in Baltimore; their material of wood
for ship-building is as good as any known
Several descriptions are quite equal to the teak
for durability. In fact; vessels have been built
in Yucatan that have lasted so odd years.
AS soon as a formal declaration of Indepen-
dence is made, succinct description of that
interesting country will be made, to invite
the industry and capital of the American peo-
pie, and the rights and the privileges given to
emigrants, will be equally secured, as they are
in this country.
In the project of the present model for es-
tablishing Government, the first thing is to
have free liberation of Religion; that every
man may worship his maker according to the
dictates of his conscience.-N o. Bulletin.

HE HOME OF THE PooR.-There is much
truth, as well as deep feeling in the following
paragraph; which we extract from Dickens,
latest production:
"Oh if those who rule the DESTINY Of ma.
tons would but remember this--if thew would
think how hard it is for the very poor to have
engendered in their hearts that love of home
from which all domestic virtues spring; when
they live in dense and squald masses where
social decency is lost or never found-if thew
would but turn aside from the wide thorough
fares and great houses, and strive to improve
the wretched dwellings in by ways, where on.
ly poverty may walk-many low roofs would
point more truly to the sky, than the Hottest
steeple that now peals proudly up from the
midst of guilt and crime, and horrible disease
to mock them with its contrary. In hollow
voices from work houses hospitals and tails.
this truth is preached, from day to day. and
has been proclaimed for years. 1t is no light
matter-no Noutcry from the working vulgar,
no mere question of the peoples health and
comfort which, may be whisted down ON
Wednesday night. In love of home, the love
OF country has its Use; and who are truer pat
riots, or the best in time of need-those who
venerate the land; owning its wood and stream
and earth, and all that they produce, or those
who love their country, Boosting not foot of
ground In all its wide domain?"

A LUCKY LOSS.

Graft Schlaberndorf was most singular
person, sort of strange German Coleridge,
more, however of philosopher and a politi-
clan than poet, living like hermit in the bust
ling history of Revolutionary Paris: misery in
small things, the lord of small garnet, SLOW
emily in his attire, and cherishing a beard-and
generous, even magnificent, on a large scale,
and actuated in all things by motives of the
purest patriotism and the most dsinterested
benevolence, character ready made for Sir
Walter Scott. This man as a foreigner and a
German aristocrat, and also as the esteemed
friend of Condorcet, Mercier, Brissot, and
the unfortunate Girodis party, naturally enough
during the reign of terror, was more than "sus-
pected of being suspected" and sat for many
days in the Conciergerie, and then in the Lux
embourg, in const ant expectation of the gull
lotine. He escaped, however, after all, strange
ly enough, saving his oUn life by losing has
boots Varnhagan Won Ense relates the circum-
stance as follows
"One morning the death cart came for its
usual number of daily victims; and Schlabern-
dorof's name was called out. He Immediately,
with the greatest GOODNESS and good humor,
prepared for departure; presence of mind IT,
some shape, grand stoicism OF mere inditter-
ence, were common in these terrible times.

ungraceful departure, when the unavoidable
must Of fate stood sternly before him. He
was soon dressed, only his boots were missing,
he sought and sought and sought, and the
goaIer sought with him in this corner and in
that; but they were not to be found. "WelP'
said Schlaberndorf sharply, 'to be guillotined
without my boots will never do. 'Hark We,
nv good FRIEND confined he, with simple
good humor to the goaler take me tomorrow;
one day makes no difference; it is the man they
want. not Tuesday or Wednesday,
The goaler agreed. The wagon full enough
without that one head, went on to its destl-
ma ton, Schlaberndorf remained in prison. Next
morning, at the usual hour, the vehicle return
ed. and the victim who had so strangely es-
capped on the previous day, was ready, boots
and all, waiting for the word OF command
Rnt behold! his name was not heard that day;
nor the third day, nor the fourth; and not al
| all There was no mystery in the matter
It was naturally supposed that ne had fallen
with the rest of the victims named for the or
iginal day, in the multitude of sufferers no one
could curiously enquire for an individual; fol
the DAYS that, followed, there were enough o
victims without him, and SO he remained u
prison till the fall Of Robespierre. when witt
so many others, he recovered his liberty. Ht
owed his miraculous escape, not the ieas
strange in the strange history Of the Revolution
partly to the kindness OF the goaler, partly
mainly to his good temper. He was univer

BalloOning ON an Extended Scah.-Mr.
Green, the celebrated British eronaut, perse-
veres in his design of crossing the Atlantic in a
balloon. He requires subscription of three
thousand pounds to enable him to make the
grand experiment, and asserts confidently his
ability to direct the course of the balloon. His
plan contemplates a balloon ninety feet in
height and fifty in circumference, with paddle
and rudder apparatus. He insists that he can
in this machine, keephis course westward, and
cross the Atlantic in, at most. six days.-f'sc
