PoIITIoa AND THE WEATHEl- TIC We greaL


Politics AND THE WHARF.-THE two great
parties had such rousing demonstrations on Satur-
day night, thatthey have suspended work, probably
for a breathing spell. There was an uncommon
calm among the politicians last night-no process.
nions-no musc--dFum and fife and band were
dumb-no bOn6res--no Fillmore Rangers, making
the streets ring with their inspiring songs-no Chal
mette Guard, shouting for Old Joe.''
To be sure, il was wet, sloppy night-but these
ardent patriots are not such fair-weather soldiers
as 70 have cared for that. Besides, the rain and
mud did nos keep them all at home You might
meet some Of them, or hear of them, in divers
places Of merry gathering, discussing DecIouei
and Freret, Walker and Lewis, and counting the
chances Of the crowd of rival candidates for the
fat little offices. The fierce democracy and the
bold and hopeful Whiggery might have well been
discouraged by such torrents of rain as poured
down for hours last evening; but we will not do
their courage SO much wrong as to insinuate that
they feared the elements. They were only little
tired with Saturdays grand exhibition and recruit
ing for another, equally animated and imposing.
FROH HAvANA.-By the arrival of the brig
Adams Grey, Capt sehneidau, we have received
Havana papers up to Saturday before last, the 9th
The health Of Havana continues to improve.
There were 1877 deaths in the city and suburbs
during the month of September, being SO less than
during the month Of August.
The 4th Of October was the festival day of the
husband Of the Spanish Queen, Don Francisco de
Asia Maria de Bourbon. The Captain-General
held levee at which were present all the civil and
military authorities, grand crosses, mobiles, foreign
cOnsuls, and other distinguished persons.
They are beginning to pave the streets of Havana
with Boston granite.
Don Juan Lembeye, well known ornithologist,
has commenced Issuing numbers of a work on the
birds Of Cuba. The pictorial illustrations are said
TO be well executed. The subject is well worthy
the attention of an accurate observer, as it has
never yet been explored as it deserves to be-.
There has been a great deal of talk lately about
the Italian Opera and the new company. 1t seems,
from all acountas that the season was to be opened
on last Wednesday, the birthday of the Queen.
and it was thought that Lucia would be the piece
at the first representation.

ANNEXATION OF CANADA-The Montreal Her

DREADFUL CALAMITY.-A correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun writes that the Rev. James Nichols.
OF Caroline county, Nd, who has for long time
been Iaboring under an alteration of mind, shot
dead Miss Juliet Nichols. 1t is not stated what re-
lauon the lady bore to Mr.. N. 1t appears that she

ume Mr. Nichols held family prayer, when. he
summoned them to his ROOM Upon the unfortu-
nate lady's opening the, door, Nichols levelled
gun at her, and shot her dead. He then, in his
murderouS insanity, dragged her out of the house,
some distance, to hog-pen, and attempted TO
throw her INTO IT, Failing to do this, he fed, and
has not since been heard Of

RAILROADS AND CANALs.-It has recently been
decided in the New Jersey Supreme Court, by Mr..
Justice Carpenter, that the engineers on railroads
cannot be held responsible for the loss of any cattle
which may meet with injury or sudden death by
coming in contact with the locomotives under their
management, the owners of cattle being considered
bound to take care of their property.

A SPUNKY BRITISH CAPTAIN-Capt. Tilley,
master of the British brig Francis, from Westport
N, s., was brought before U. S. Commissioner
Woodbury., at Boston, on the 4th inst, under the
following circumstances: An inspector at the Gus
tom-house attempted to board the Francis on her
arrival, when he was warned off by some one on
board, under threat of having his head split open
with an axe. Under the circumstances, surprising
the man to be intoxicated the inspector postponed
his visit till the next morning. At that time he &C.
cordingly went on board, when he was met by the
Captain, who threatened to blow his brains out if
he entered the cabin. The officer reported the
facts to Mr.. Collector Greedy, who forthwith dis
patched Capt Sturgis, of the revenue cutter Ham
hton, to bring the bellieose Englshman to his
senses; The Francis was taken possession of by
Capt. Sturgis, and anchored under the guns of the
revenue cutter Hamilton. Capt Tiley was taken
lHto custody 70 answer for the offence of resisting
which is a fine of $500. After an examination he
was let off with fine of $50 and costs.

PsALNoDY Run MAD.-Some wears since there
resided in one of the southern counties of North
Carolina an aged clergyman of the Presbyteriau
church, by the name of 7. Like most of the
clergymen IN that section of our country Parson
+ was planter and STAKEHOLDER. One Sun.
day afternoon, towards sunset, the good old Parson
had assembled his family black and white, under
the shade of the trees his house. for the Dur.
pose of worship. All having been seated, and nut
on becoming gravity for the occasion, Parson
I rose, opened his hymn book, and read the
hymn commencing with
Life is the time to serve the Lord"
After the fashion of the country he then proceeded
to give 1t out to be sung, line by line or as we
used to say in New England, to deacon it off. y
The first line was given out, and sung to the good
old tune called "WelIs." Unfortunately for the
solemn occasion, at that moment favorite hog
which had long been among the missing, made his
appearance, and Parson r was so much excl
ted by this circumstance, and had such strong
desire to detain the ruant porker till he could be
conveniently secured that he seemed to forget the
avocation in which he was engaged, and the mu.
steal exercise proceeded as follows:
Life is the time to serve the Lord"
Give that old hog ten eau of CON-"
This was sung with the continuation of the tune.
Pason r, in establishment, exclaimed
You Re wrong, my friends re lgrOng you re
This line was sung with increased energy and the
good old man, astOunded and vexed beyond endu-
rance that the negroes would not understand him,
exclaimed
Surely, the DIS in you all"
With piOus enthusiasm, the negroes nothing doubt
ing the divine authenticity Of the denunciation,
proceeded to finish the stanza and the tune and
the clergyman in despair, and his gravity COM
Petely upset, dashed his book on the table and
vanished. The meeting broke up in delightful
confusion, and the sable wOrshippers, innocent of
all consciousness Of error their part, exclaimed
i" Lorra massey, what be de matter wild old massa y
Whether porky got his corn, history hath not re-
corded.
