Playing Cards on Monday.

friend of ours relates the following irci-
dent, as having occurred on board one of the
New York and Savannah packets, few years
since. One Sunday, several of the gentlemen,
who had become weaIied with the monotony
of the voyage, assembled on deck for the pur-
pose of amusing themselves with game of
whist. They had, however. scarcely arranged
the preliminaries. when the Captain appeared,
and informed them that he did not allow card
playing on the Sabbath. 1t happened that
there was an old negro, belonging to the vessel
whose name was Monday, whose services they
secured as card table, and " ent on with the
game. Presently the Captain appeared and
demanded in somewhat excited tone Of voice,
why his orders were not obeyed when they
replied. pointing to the old negro, "Why, sir q,
you said your rules forbid playing cards on
Sunday you not perceive that we are play
ing on Monddy:" The Captain reneated.

A Haytien Witness.

During the trial of Capt. Martin in the Cir
cult Court in Boston, the master of Haytien
coaster was put upon the stand as witness for
the government. In the course of the cross
examination by Mr.. Choate. he manifested con-
siderable indignity, and finally informed the
learned counsel that he came 10 this country,
to tell the truth, and not lie that he was a
gentleman of honor. and didn't like to be doubt
ed and trapped by tricky questions. He had
answered some questions six or eight times,
and he didn't want to answer them again. In
reply to question put by Mr.. c., as to what
was done with the cargo of the Abby Ham
mond, and whether they did not attempt to Sc.
crete some part of it, he replied that under the
circumstances he had a right to it that he
carried it home by daylight, as any gentleman
would-"do you think I steal it ;" He did
not want to come to this country he had
come at the solicitation of Mr., who
promised to board him at hotel but instead
of thai he had been kept in Jail ever since he
came; and he hoped now the President of the
United States would send him back 10 his
country, and try to find out the truth by some
other person.

The boy T. n. Stafford,

Development of his peculiar powers. is made
the subject of remark by Prof Pierce of Har.
ward College. in his report to the visiting Com
mittee of the Lawrence Scientific School. SAT-
ford attended the Professors lectures on Ana
lytical Mechanics. and showed himself perfect
ly competent to master this difficult subject of
research. Up to this time he fully realizes
lis early promise of extraordinary powers a.
geometer. but his friends notice with alarm that
his body does not keep pace in growth with his
intellect. and he is not gaining that robus,
health so necessary to strong mind. 1t will
be remembered that he is under the charge of
Edward Everett and Professor Pierce, and is
supported by the liberali,y of gentlemen in
Boston.
