tress would suffer him TO remain only four days
The Spanish authorities in the neighborhood hsv-
ing refused to permit him to the Spanish ter

among the semi barbsrous heathens more sympathy
and hospitality than he found among tho civilized
christians Of Europe. He went to Tangiers, and
the Emperor of Morocco, hearing Of his arrival,
sent him an order 10 repair TO Fcz, the capital.
This order he obeycd, and forthwith his Morocco

From the Nesoark DAILY -Aduertiser.

DEAR DAILY: For mercy's sake-or, If that does
not please you--for my sake, don't over hereafter
the word ''plcad'' pronounced "pled') for the
past tense of the verb s'to Plead" nor the words
''immigrant" and immigration" for .semigrant''
and "emigration." Do, please, cay "pleaded'' and
"emigrant." II makes man of nice sensibilitiss
begin inwardly to curse and swear, or, if Chris
tian, to grind his teeth whenever he meets with
such un-Engiish expressions. An emisrant is one
who migrates, or changes his donicil from one
country to another. He is "emigrant'' when
he starts and an "emigrant' when he arrives. He
is nothing but "emigrant'-that is the only
Engiish appellation we have for him. The intro
duction of the barbarian "immigrant' is too su-
perfine for plain English folks. E.chew it, do.

ALLIoAToR's Nssr.-Thcy resemble, says Lyell,
in his second Visit TO America, haycocks about
four feet high, and five in diameter at their bases
being constructed with grass and herbagc. First
they deposit one layer Of eggs a floor Of NOR
tar md, having covered this with second stratum
Of mud and hcrbage, eight inches thick. lay an
other set Of eggs upon that, and on TO the top
there being commonly from 10 two hundred
eggs in nest. With their tails they then beat
down round the nest the dense grass and reeds FIVE
feet high, to prevent the approach Of unseen enc
mics. The female watches her eggs until they are
all hstched by the heat Of the sum- and then takes
ner brood under her care, defending them and pro-
viding for their subsistence. DR.. Luzeuberger OF
New Orleans, told me that he once packed up one
Of these nests, with the eggs, in box for the mu-
scum Of ST. Petcrsburgh, but recommended
before he closed IL 10 that there was no danger
Of any Of the eggs being hatched on the voyage
On opening one young alligator walked out, md
was soon followed by the rest, about hundred
which he fed in hs house, when they went up and
down the stairs whining and barking like younh
puppies. They ate voraciousiy, yet their growte

sligators which have attained the largest size are
Of very great age though whether they live for

GRAMMATICAL LEeIsLAroRs.-A writer in a
Louisville paper shows that the new constitution
prepared for the State Of Kentucky abounds in the
grossest grammatical errors Among others that
he cites are the following:
"Each house Of the general assembly shall keep
and publish weekly journal Of it, proceedings,
and the yeas and nays of the members on any
question SHALL at the desire Of any two of them be
entered on their Journal"
sAll bills for raising revenue shall originate in
the House of Representatives, but the Senate may
propose amendments, in other bills: Prorided
That they shall not introduce any matter, un-
der the color Of an amendment, which docs not re-
late TO raising revenue"
"The jurisdiction of said court shall be and re-
main as now established, hereby giring to the Gen.
eral Assembly the power to change alter it."
''Thc governor snail have power, after fire wears
TO pardon all persons who shall in any wise parfici-
pate in duel either principals or seconds, and
20 restore him them all their rights privileges
and immunitics TO which he or they were entitled
before such participation"
"The right of the owner Of slave 10 such slave
and its increase is the same, and as invioable az
the right Of the owner ofany property whatever"
II is objected to this that slaves arc male and fe
male, and cannot have the ncuter pronoun IL ap-
piled to them But the objectors have forgotten TO
estimate the effect Of color upon gender.
ain section g. lift shall be found that majority
Of those voting for against il 1.-THE constitu-
tion] has been east against il, then said convention
shall be declared rejected
This idea of casting majority Of the voters
themselves against the constitution is capital.

LIBERIA.--,fhe Providence Journal publishes the
following extract from letter written by the Rev
Mr.. Gurley, recently returned from Liberia:
81 have the greatest reason for gratitude to Al
mighty God, in that have been permitted to look
again, after one quarter Of century, upon our
republic there founded the morning star of Afrca's
redemption. We have every thing TO animate US.
and should urge forward this great enterprise with
all our might. President Roberts is a gentleman
and Christian Of high character, and those asso-
ciated with him in the administration of the gov
ernment Of the republic appear to me worthy of
great respect and confidence. The people are gen
orally in good health and full Of checrfuiness hope
and virtuous resolution. In propriety of deport-
ment, and amiableness and courtesy of manners,
community that have seen exccls them They
are improving in agriculture and enlarging their
commerce. The various missionary stations are
points Of the deepest interest and high promise.
What is needed for the republic is capital and
cannot but hope that our State and National Gov
its authorities to explore the country, lay open ts
vast resources, and make it what it sooner later
will be, a most inviting home TO people of color
from every region Of the world. |"
GoLpsMITH's LOVE OF Low 'CoMpASY.-Johnson
used to be very severe upon Goldsmith for mingiing
in these motley circles; observing that having bean
originally poor. he had contracted a love for low
company. Goldsmith, however, guided not by
taste for what was low, but for what was comic and
characteristic It was the feeling Of the artist; the
lceilu& OF us Oeot scenes In
familiar life; the feeling with which srare Ben JON
SOM sought these very haunts and circles in days of
yore, to study "every man in his humor." Itwas
not always, However, that the humor of these asso
ciates to his tastes they became boisterous in
their merriment he was apt to become depressed.
'The company of fools, says he, in one Of his es-
says, "may at first make US smile; but at last
fails making US melancholy" soften he would
become moody" says Glover, "and would leave
the party abruptly to go home and brood over his
misfortune" 1t ia possible, however, that he went
home for quite different purpose, to commit to pa
per some scene or passage suggested for his COM
edy Of The Good -nnfaved Man. The elaboration of
humor is often most serious task and we have
never witnessed more perfect picture of mental
misery than was once presented to US by popular
dramatic writer-still, we hope, hving-whoin we
found in the agonies of producing farce which
subsequently set the theatres in roar

MORMON BALL.-Thursday, the Goth Decem-
ber, ushered in the dawn of our holidays at Kanes
vile. Early in the morning we were appriscd of
the fact by the roaring of Mr.. w. f. Carters anvil
battery; weather clear and frosty.
In the evening, we attended plain and fancy
dress ball, given by the inhabitants of Kanesville
as benefit to Mr.. Orson Hyde, for his enterprising
zeal and philanthrophy, displayed in erecting
music hall for the mutual benefit of the community.
We were highly gratifed to witness the reciprocal
decorum observed, by both managers and guests
during the evening; we are persuaded that we
would not be doing justly were we to omit the COM
mencement.
At four O'Clock, D. M, according to appointment,
the assembly was called TO order by President Or
son Hyde. After few appropriate remarks suitable
for such occasion, he offered to the Most High
solemn dedication prayer-then gave place to the
order of the evening bishop Aaron johnson then
called upon the guests intending to participate in
the dance 70 observe order as much as possible af
ter which Mr.. David Candland advanced few
salutary remarks calculated to encourage in the
harmless recreation about to be entered into. Ell
der Franklin ID. Richards opened the ball by
prayer. Mr.. John Gooch and lady then waited
upon senior editor and lady, and conducted
them to the head Of the hall to participate in the
social entertainment.
Ladies and gentlemen, from various sections of
Pottawatamie and adjacent counties present; !;
also dcputation Of brethren from the valley of
Great Salt Lake; their presence, in conncxion with
the joyful tidings they brought, added considerably
to our enjoyment.
The hearts and minds of all manifested by their
works that nothing abounded but the pure spirit Of
philanthropy and order; and, to the credit of our
talented musician, Mr.. William Pitt and associates
composing the orchestra, their cheerful notes ami
mated the hearts to that degree that the feet acted
well their part in the scene. In conclusion the
scmbly was dismissed with prayer by Bishop Aaron
Johnson.-Frontiu Guardian, Dec. 26n.
