TRIALS or A HousHKEEPER.-We had
the honor yesterday of conversing with
lady who was in the pursuit Of Il ser
want under difficulties. She related to
us some Of her trials and verify oursym-
pathies were excited by her narrative
81 have just now" said she, chad an
interview with a candidate for service,
whom | called to see at her home, She
is an Irish girl, very tall and coarse, with
an almost manly voice. She fixed her
arms akimbo, and looked down at me
with benignant air, while humbly re-
presented my situation to her"
"Thin it's woman yce want 10 cook
and make hcrclf useful in gincral," said
| she.
The lady indicated her assent.
Thin it's meself that'll shutc ye, if
the pays enough"
The pay. the lady replied, should be
liberal, and it was for the girl to name
her own price.
"Tin dollars the month, said she, " is

CANADA AND THE FuGirivr SLAVES
Our Canadian neighbors are becoming
alarmed at The influx Of negroes, flying
from the reach Of the Fugitive Slave
Law, to the asylum that has been prom
ised them in Her Mnjesty's American do
minions. All along the frontier, they
are arriving by tens, filtics, and hun
dreds. Many Of them are penniless. and
all stand in need Of aid Of some kind, in
establishing themselves in their new
homes. One would imagine from the IL
sual tone ofthc English people and press,
that these fugitivcs would be received
with open arms by the subjects ofVicto
ria, and that the prosecuted blacks who
have excited so much British sympathy.
and whose representatives in England
have been ionized by nobility and feast
ed by aristocracy, would at once he wei
coined as an invaluable acquisition to
the Canadian population. Not so, how =
ever. The papers are already sounding
The alarm, and are limiting at the ncces-
city ofestablishing poll tax on all blacks
from the United States.
This is emincntIy British. Nothing
could be more character site of the revi-
lcrs of America. England has done more
to encourage the aboltionists and excite
the negroes to flight, than any other ma
ton. She has in measure, attained
her object. The negroes are flying by
thousands to the soil Of the British en-
pire, confident that they will be warmly
welcomed, and that the kindness prom
ised TO them will be checriully extended.
True TO his instincts, John Bull turns the
cold shoulder upon them. He finds he
has overshot his mark. His true object
W atodisturb America, moi TO receive
the surplus of her worst population; and
he must impose poll tax to shelter him
self from the danger his own hands have
wrought. II will never do to open his
doors to such class as the flying ne
IS groes Of the States. We shall see whcth-
er the Canadian government will sustain
the Inconsistencies of the Canadian peo-
pie. We shall not be surprised if the asy-
lum of Canada is closed to the fugitives
and they are compelled to remain in A.
merica, liable TO be sent back to the
slavery they have been encouraged to
fly from.

A WINprALL FOR SOMEBODY. n
day or two since came into possession OF
what purported TO be an extract of a very
singular will, which is said has lately
been proved at Liverpool, England
The testator, "A Col. Daniels, it seems
was formerly sojourner, for the Sum-
mer months, at New Haven, Connect-
cut. In his will is the following clause
Sand now, having no other near rela-
tives or fiends who need my bequest,
give 10 certain bookseller in New Ha-
ven, Connecticut, in the United States of
America, nll my shares in the Banks of
Liverpool, England, and Dumfries, Scot
land, amounting, as will appear by the
certificates in my possession, and by the
bank books, TO four hundred thousand
and sxty-two pounds currency. The
name of the aforesaid legatee do not
remember but he kept n book store
South OF the Toutine Hotel and in large
four or five story block, made of brick,
having a bank in one Of its divisions.
And my reason for this bequest is, that
the bookseller showed me many marks of
kindness and courtesy, and visited me
during sickness OF several days. He
was a married man, a member of the
English Church, and ifnow living. is a.
bout DO years of age, or more.
"CoDlclL.-lf the above bequcst can
not be complied with, for lack of proof
or by reason OF the death Of the legatee,
| hereby direct nv executors to divide
the shares equally between the five par
ties first named, in this my last will and
testament" "--PhH Ledgpr.

-HAyNAu's RETREAT.-This il strange
world. The tyrant women-Aogger OF
Austria was taught lesson of Liberty
by men who are not the slaves Of Barcley
& Co., but probably, of Barcley & Co.'s
beer. Barcley & Co. were doubtless
mortified and indignant at the insult Of
fered 10 their distinguished guest, but
they themselves were in some measure
the slaves of their work men, or rather
Of their interests, and had TO keep quiet
They are immense gamers by doing so.
All England is now drinking healths
in the liquid Of Barclay & Co.'s brew
ing. No other ale has such smack Of
liberty in it. Ten thousand pounds in
putting wouldn't begin to have such an
effect upon their sales. At the scene OF
the Aogging in Southark, new ale
house has been opened and christcned
Haynau's Retreat" In its penetralia
is placed huge arm. chair, and over it
is placed as an immortal memorial, " n

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5th


The Republic of this morning contra
diets the statement which has had such
wide circulation relative TO the Presi-
dent having issued orders for the concen-
traiion of troops at Boston, and further
that the President has received no COM
munication whatever from either the u
nited States marshal at Boston, or any
other marshal, regarding any appre-
nended Instructions to the working of
the fugitive slave law.
The Republic admits that some chan
gcs have been made in the position of
the troops, but not in the direction re-
ported, nor for the purpose alleged.
Some Florida companies have been
ordered TO the North, some to Texas,
and others from the North TO the South
Edmund Lafayette and family are at
present in the city, and stopping at the
National Hotel.

Curious Calculation relating TO the
Building for the Great Exposition Of
1s5l.-It is stated that the building for
the exposition Of 1851 will contain 500
miles ofwindow sashes, 100 miles putty,
81 miles Of zinc guttcring, s miles TO
drive under cover The building will
be wholly Of glass, wood frame and iron
pillars. In one position the spectator
will be able TO see 900 feet before him
n one unbroken view. II is believed
that the building will be so superb that
the public, on whose behalf the opposi.
tion has been made, will be the first to
oppose its removal. A writer in the
Builder states that $50 tons of putty will
be required TO make the building.

II A FAITHFUL SERVANT We take
l great pleasure in recording the following
trait Of fidelity and honesty in ancgro
/ slave of this state towards his mas
ter -
BY sailing vessel from Vera Cruz,
which arrived here on Saturday last,
came the negro man Marshall, "A quiet
! modest, unassuming person, on his way
! home from California. He went out
with his master, Mr.. Runnels, Of Cla
borne parish, in this state, who was ia
ken sick last Winter at the mines, near
/ the foot of the Nevada Mountains, and
after long and severe illness died.
! Marshall took the utmost care OF his
master; was his faithful companion
nurse and friend, and watched by him
increasingly until he breathed his lust
There was nothing left to pny the iune'-
al expenses and doctors bills.
! Marshall set 10 work and laborcd hard
until he managed to scrape together O.
| nough to settle these debts - $s00-debis
which nothing but an admirable respect
! and veneration for his master s memory,
an exquisite feeling Of pride and aiftc c.
ton, compelled him 10 pay. How few
white men, near and dear relatives,
would have done as much He gait =
cred together his masters clothes and
ohcr personal effects, and with about
$1,000 that he had made, started home
TO his masters family, Notwithstanding
| his knowledge that he was free in Cali
I furna, and the many inducements held
/ out To him to remain there. lie took
the cheapest and most dangerous ronic
back going in sailing vessel 10 AcIpC'-
co. and crossing Mexico on horseback
from the former city 10 Vera Cruz-a
very dangerous route.
\ The American Consuls ao both places
took so much interest in him as TO give
him letters of recommendation, and o
request of him 10 let them hear Of him.
He brought to this city several letters
TO persons living here or in the country,
I and which contained gold dust. Tie
letters were somewhat soiled and frayed,
bu, were perfectly intact. His cxpen-
scs home were heavy, owing to unavoid-
lie delay on the route. The faithful ne
|. gro started home last evening on Red
River boat. He had letters from va
rious persons in California TO gentlemen
of this city, recommending him in the
warmcsl terms to their notice and pro-
lection, which were Instantly accorded.
I Mr.. Farquliar, on intamate friend of lis
master, has written from Caliiornil to
| Mr.. Runncl's family, stating that tic
unfortunate gcn,cmau's last rcques, was
I that his faithful servant should be eman-
cipated aud provided for by them ~ soon
rs he reached his home in Louisiana

New YoRx ELECTION.

The New York Tribune has returns OF
"A Whig to 81 Locofocos elected to the
Assembly. The Wings gain s, the OPP
positions g. If the counties TO come in do
not balance those gains, the Legislature
is Whig.
So far rs heard from, the Wings have
chosen Ia, the Locos IL members Of
Congress,-a gain Of 10 TO the latter /;

Congress the delegation stood 80 TO q
If the Wings have made more losses, it
will now stand 90 to IL. 1t is not, how
ever. probable it will stand as favorably
for us as this.
The Tribute thinks that Washington
Hunt is elected Governor, and that the
whole Wing State ticket has been cho-
sen. II gives returns from large num-
ber Of towns and counties, as compared
with the presidential vote of 1874, in
which the nett Wing gain is 2773.
Kingsland, the Wing candidate for

In Albany city Hunts majority is l66

NEw JERsEY.-The Tribune says that
the Wings have lost their Governor, and
may have lost their Legislature, but the
latter is not certain.
MISUNDERSTANDING to our expecta-
tons, and very far beyond our most san
guine hopes, the Wings appear to have
met with signal success in Michigan -
In the first District, Alexander w. Buell.

other Districts are not fully heard from,
but it is not improbable that the Wings

in the other there being two Democrat

ton from Michigan would he ii fitting
rebukc to Mr.. Cass for his treachery to
the rights and interests of Northern free

ARTEsiAs WELL-We find the fol-

"The famous Artesian well at kissen-

years ago, and which il was feared would
have to be abandoned as failure, has
Just given the most satisfactory results
This town is located in saline valley
nine hundred and cighty-iour feet above
the level Of the Baltic sea. Last June
the boring had reached a deblh of 1887
feet, and several layers of salt, scpara-
ted by strata Of granite, had been trav-
ersed, when carbonc acid gas followed
again by gra mite, was found, Finally,
OH the 18th instant, at depth of two
thousand and sixty feet, perseverance
was rewarded by complete success. A
terrific explosion burst away the scaf-
folding built to facilitate the operations,
and column ofwater four and hall
inches in diameter spouted forth to the
height Of ninety.eIght feet above the
surface. The water, clear as crystal, Id
of temperature Of sixty-six Fshrenit,
aud is abundantly charged with salt. II
is calculated that the annual product
will be upwards ofe, 100000 lbs. per an
