affected by the most powerful abolition
overtures. Poor Sandy was unconscious
Of his masters Gull. He stood perhaps be-
tore the Master Of masters.
"Snndy is killed too, Captain Laurent"
And thus, bolt after bolt Of the terrible
storm, fell upon his devoted head. "Bacey
gone!--Arnaud gonc!-Sandy goac!--al
gonc--gonc, but poor old Laurent. Oh!
mon Dicu, wish blow up too!" Such
were the sad explanations for months nf
forwards, uttered by tho afflicted old man /;
until at length the pen. up soul would seek
vent through the fountains which had been
dry for years; and the aged sufferer would
weep like child. His friends endeavured
TO console him, but in vain. Ills health
was evidently suffering. Ills friends re-
newcd their kind Offices. "You shall have
another boat, Capt. Laurent" "No, no;
no nore boat for poor old Laurent -Baccy
eone,--Arnaud gone, all gone but poor cd
Laurent" and again the unbidden tears
would fall for the lost ones.
One year after tho terrible catastrophe
JUS, related. the still pining old man was a,
Biloxi. Upon couch in his room, sleep
Ing, lay his ever attentive aud aflcctiona,e
daughter. The old man sat by window ;
bu! his mind was away TO the Clipper at
Bayou Sara. His lost friends were com.
mnning in spirit with him. Some power
ia! emotions were evidently at work within
his breast. His wrinkled face became the
picture Of distress nnd deep groan burst
from him. Rising, he rushed towards the
door and was met by his startled daughter,
and Madame b. Ills thin white locks
were disordered upon his brow; aud ON his
countenancc despair had written farewell
10 happiness. Grief had bent the man
which. old age had spared; and now TWINS
lettering upon the grave. Placing both
his hands full upon his heart; he exclaimed
in utter agony, "Oh! Madame B, lam
so full here. can live no more now ~
In few moments the red current ii his
lite began To ooze from his nos,rils and his
mouth. lie was immediately placed upon
bed, aud physicians were called in
Medical skill and nature held for few
short hours. feeble struggle with death /;
and the soul of poor old Lauren, cast off its
mortal tenement, to seek The loved spirits
of Baccy and Arnnud.
A post mortcm examination proved that
he Ind actually died OF a broken heart, for
this vital engine Of the body was found b,
excess Of grief TO have burst its bounds
and the crimson tide Of poor old Laurent,
ceased to flow forever.
Alas, how soon nre these terrible acct
dents forgotten by the Anglo Americans.
And with rs. what thing Of trifling worth

memory, possessing scarce enough of sub.

CONGRESSIONAL.
WAsurNeroS, June 90.

i
On Thursday, the bill Of Senator Dickin.
son, amending the naturalization laws, was
enacted by the House of Representatives,
the Senate having previously passed it. Ii
provides that temporary absence from the
United States during the preliminary five
years Of residence, shall not, as under the
law of 1913, vitiate an applicants claim 10
naturalization papers AS the law stool be-
fore the enactment Of this change, even those
from abroad, who, not having been residents
of the United States for five years, have serv-
I ed under our flag in the Mexican war, would
have been compelled TO daie the commence
ment of their residence, from their return to
our shores, on applying for papers. No ar
gumeni, we tako il, is necessary to convince
the people Of our seaporls of the justice and
propriety Of this change; for in these days of
cheap voyaging and general business inter
course with the world over the seas, tempo
rary absence from the United States is becom-
ing we'll nigh as common as trips TO distant
States were, half century since. Great
praise is due to Senator Dickinson, for the
zeal with which, for three years, he has labor
ed to procure the enactment Of this so neces
say reform; for such, in truth, it is.
