MISCELLANEOUS.

PLEASANT lsLAND.-At. 9 p. M, on the list
February, made Pleasant lsland-this island
was passed by Capt Feares in the year 1889;
upon his authority, Horsburgh places it in
lat. 20 min. S., lon. l67 deg. 10 minutes T..
from Greenwich. AS neared the land seve-
raj canoes came alongside; there were about
eight or ten natives in each; they brought
with them for sale a few very small fowls,
the latter they had been taught to make by
the Europcans-these articles they were cx-
ceedingly anxious to barter for trinkets, beads
pipes and tobacco; the latter were most in
demand; they all appeared quite adopts in
the art of bargaining. The men are about
the middle size, well but not robustly made,
of a dark copper color, with a very smooth,
sleek skin, they had no beard, hair black and
straight; they have no affinity to the Papuan
race, but are evidently, from their high cheek
bones and irregular cast of features, Mala-
yam race; and from what l saw ofthe natives
at the island of Ascension, one of the Caro-
linas, North Pacific, | am ofopinion that they
are both sprung from the same origin. Four

were a sample, they may be considered ra-
Their good looking, having a very fine ex-
preston, black eyes shaded by "A beautiful
long dark lash, features regular, figure good,
rather inclined to be stout, they appeared ma

the usual dress among nearly all the Poly
nesian islands; it is made of several tiers of
dried grass, about eighteen inches long,
strung together, and fastened round their
waist.
Both sexes appeared to be mild and tracta-
BILE in their manner, but much addicted to
pilfering: We detected several in the attempt;
when threatened they did not deny the crime,
or consider the expected punishment unjust.

THE BEST JoKE OF II sEAsoN.-Mr.
Brownson in the last Democratic Review
concluded a series of profoundly studied ar
ticles on the Origin Of Government, which
we place among the ablest and most valua-
bic political essays that have ever appeared
in this country. But in the midst ofgeneral
clearness and strength, Mr.. Brownson some
times undertakes to define what is undefna-
bic, and to grasp in logical formula what is
far too subtle to be caught by the coarse
meshes of human language. He defines
Humanity thus:
eve are to bear in mind that the genus
Humanity-what we call human nature-is
no logical abstraction, but a real existence,
Independent Of individuals. This is only say
ing that humanity is humanity. This set
tied, we may proceed a step further. HUI
manity in this generic sense, is causativc,
active, creative. This is affirmed in affirm
ing that humanity is a reality. Our notion
of reality is our notion Of being or substance,
or something that is. But our notion Of
something that is-that is to say, Of being or
substance, is precisely our notion Of cause
or causative force"
The editor of the Wilkesbarre PA far
mer quizz es the philosopher in the follow
ing rich strain-whichi if Mr.. Brownson him
self can read without the healthful enjoyment
Of a hearty laugh, he is graver than we are.
"We are to bear in mind that the genus
of humbug, what we call natural humbug, is
no logical abstraction, but has a real exist
ence as much as a shad, and in some sort in
dependent of fodder and friends just after
being elected to a fat office, though never
actually separable from individuals before
election. This is only saying that humbug
is still humbug, any way you choose to fix it.
This part of the weather being settled, we
will venture a step or two further. Humbug,
in this pepper and ginger scnse, is causative
of CANNON, active as the creased end Of
perpetual motion, creative Of promises and
pancakes. This is both sworn to and affirm.
ed in affirming that humbug is a member Of
the regular army. Our notion Of being a
member of the regular army is our faith in
factions-and faith is the substance of things
not seen. But our notion Of something that
is, is our notion of a jackass,-for a jackass
is-and not only is, that is to say is; but a
jackass, physically considered, conveys pre-
cisely our notion Of cause, kicking, and
causative force, and exists Independent Of
individuals,-so does a meeting house.

PARLIAMENTARY Observation-Disclosures
blundcrs are as amusing as they are instruct
i've. So carclessly have acts Of Parliament
been framed, that one, in prohibiting tho
doing OF a certain act, under pain of trans
portation, contained a clause, dividing the
penalty between the King and the Mformer.-
The 9th George ILL.,, cap. 48, passed for tho
protection of timber trees, cnunerates all the
trees which it was supposed would come un-
der this denomination. Seven years after
wards it was necessary to pass another act,
adding to the enumeration, poplar, alder,
maple and hornbean trees. An act of Ed
ward vi. made it a capital felony 10 steal
horses; it was doubtful if this included the
stealing of a single horse, and an explanato-
ny act was accordingly passed to compose
the doubt. In one session there was a law
made sublecting hackney coachmen to n
penalty If they had not a checkstring, and
the next session another law was made re-
curing the coachman TO hold the check
string in his hand.
Lord Rochester, the wit Of "Charles's
day" is said to have complied with an act
Of parliament requiring a lamp to be placed
over every door, but he would not suffer il
to be lighted, the act containing no words TO
that effect. Sheridan used TO compare the
numerous acts amending the errors of per-
ceding acts to the story of the blouse that
Jack built" First comes a bill imposing a,
tax; then comes a bill to amend the bill i'm
posing the tax; then n bill to explain the bill
tor amending the bill imposing the tax; fol-
owed by another bill for remedyins the de-
iects ofthe bill to explain the biil for amend
ing the bill imposing the tax; and so on al

THE SAILOR AND HIS BRIDE.

The Boston Transcript tells q good story in
which a venerable and lamented pastor Of a Bap-
,ist Church and an honest Jack Tar and his wife
were the principal actors. The sailor with his
chosen partner went to the house Of Dr.-
to be married, and were accordingly made one''
with all the solemnity proper to the occasion.-
AL the conclusion OF the service. Jack told the
DIR. that he understood that seventy FIVE cents
was the lawful fee, but that as he hadn'ta brass
cent to bless himself with, he should defer pay
ment to a more convenient opportunity, adding
a promise that he. would honestly pay the minis
ter, with one proviso-that if his wife proved to
be a good woman and a true helpmeet, he should
reward him generously FOR the .ssplicing,'' but il
she turned Quito be good for nothing" the min
lister would not hear from him again. DR.
was so much pleased with the straight forward
manner Of the tar. that he drank his health and
that Of his bride in a glass Divine, and saw them
depart with a fatherly blessing. Time passed
away, and the Or. had almost forgotten the cir
