stick 4 PIN there.

A correspondent writing from Paris,
and giving biographical skaech Of Lafitte,
the great banker, who died worth for
tune of thirty millions, says that he first
entered that gay metropolis ?. or boy, and
applied to Swiss banker for clerkship.
The gentleman not needing clerk at that
period, advised him to apply elsewhere.
Young Lafitte, disheartened, turned on his
heel, and walked through the courtyard,
and sorrowfully stopped to pick up pin.
This was observed BY the banker, who was
looking from the window Of his cabinet;
and pleased with the act Of his saving a
pin, recalled him, and gave him situation,
from which he rose to be cashier, partner,
and finally the largest banker in Paris.

exclusive Of wagons, wagon-sheets, and
many other articles purchaseda At Independ-
ence. Thel total number Of wagons was
81, each cost $3.50, many Of which were
made here; and the total number of wagon
sheets was 300, including blankets to put
between them. The trade with Santa Fe
is thus made to amount to $75O, 600; but
even this sum is said to Be considerably
short Of what it is in ordinary seasons.
The editor earnestly insists that this
trade should no longer be neglected BY the
government, and remarks:
'sGive US but q port of entry, give us
the right of drawbacks, and our traders
will supply the whole Of the provinces Of
Santa Fe, Chihuahua, Sonora, California,
and others, instead Of being supplied with
British goods through Matamoras, Vera
Cruz, and other ports; instead Of the trade
being worth half . million of dollars, it will
reach to four or five millions"

ANEcDoTE OF LIEUT.. HUNTER.

ANECDOTE OF LIEUT.. HUNTER.
Lieut.. Hunter, the talented inventor of
the submerged propeller, was frequently
bonoraby alluded to at the dinner on
Thursday. "a dinner given at Richmond
TO the officers Of the cutter Legare.) An
anecdote in bis history, too good TO be
lost, and worthy of a place in our nation
al annals, was related by Lieut.. Porter.
Lieut.. Hunter had been sent TO the West
Indies to capture notorious pirate IN
those waters, known as the "Ltile Devil, !"
and who was finally killed by an Ameri.
can officer in single combat. The Amer
lean force was on the look. out, in ambus-
cade, we believe; but It so CHANGED that
Hunter was captured by the pirates, while
separated from his party. The comman-
der OF the cut threats, "Lit,le Devil, was
man of furious temper, and never falsl-
fed any promise of vengeance which he
made. Hunter was taken TO secret
place, and there informed that unless he
betrayed his party, he should be hung on
the spot His answer was, salor-lke,
"Hang and be d--d!" No sooner said
than done. He was instantly hung up
and left. In few minutes they return
ed, took him down nearly senseless, and
again told him that If he would betray the
whereabouts of his party his life should
be his: and moreover, his return to his
men should be so managed that nothing
should be suspected of the truth by them.
The alternative was instant death by
hanging, without hope ofreprieve, for it
was his last chance. His laconic reply
again was. "Hang and be id" They
hung him again and left him. But by
good fortune he was found before lie was
quite gone, by some of his men, taken
down insensible, and happily restored to
life. The story reflects the highest hon.
or upon Lieut.. Hunter, and we hope The
government will show some kindness to
so meritorious and gallant an officer, by
at least encouraging his recent and i'm
portant invention. Ii is the least it could
do. Richmond Star.
