ABOLITION SYMPATHY. Going home
from the cars last evening, we overlook
on the road a thinly clad negro man, ap-
pagently forty years Of age, whose stag
gerng gate indicated extreme wretched-
ness. AS we came up behind him in the
pathway, we hailed him with, Hurry up.
my old friend. You will freeze to death
If you don't step along faster and get
home soon."
"Ah, mastes," said he, II can't get
along any faster. l is very poor-l been
sick and is very bad, master; If master
would please give me little suthln-llust
a little, master!'
The manner Of saying ''master" was
so unlike our free negroes, that we stop
ped in passing him, and putting small
coin into hrs trembling hand, SAID, IL am
sorry for you and sorry that you have not
what you ought to have--a good master
to take care of you He stopped short
and looking up, with great emphasis re-
piled. at would bea blessed thing, master;
a blessed thing.
We asked him where he lived, and he
told u.s. aud said he had been out to get
work and little money which he very
much needed. "Why," we continued,
did you not work hard during the sum
mer, and lay up enough for cold weather"
"I did work all summer, master, but
1 didn't get enough to last no time when
winter came Oh, master, ! am very bad. !"
This now is not at all an uncommon
case, there are thousands about our city
in the same distressed circumstances, to
whom a master would be blessed thing.
The Abolitionists could spend thou
sand dollars to help Henry Long, and
thirty thousand more to aid the chief
CHAPLAIN; but fer the poor among them,
tine starving and distressed free negro
about their own doors, they have no SYM
pathy. Verify, they shall have their re-
| ward. N. Y. Day Book.

notice to the Northern members OF its
political family:
-"Charles A. James has been elected
United States Senator from Rhode Island
for the term of six years from the 4th
of March next. He is reputed Demo
crat; but Northern Democracy has become
so infected with Free-soilism that one
may be mistaken for the other by the

Slr-The department has received ia
formation that prisoner. arrested as a
fugitive slave in Boston, was forcibly
rescued from the deputy of the marshal
of that district, on Saturday last, by law
less violence, in the very seat of justice
in that CITY When we had last advices
he had not been recaptured. 1t therefore
becomes necessary to take immediate
measures for tie execution of the law i'll
this and all similar cases; and whilst 1t Is
hoped that the civil officers will stand IN
need of no military assistance from the
forces Of the United States, you are in
structed that, if the marshal, or any OF
his deputies charged with the service OF
process by competent authority, shall pro-
duce to you the certificate OF the justice
or district Judge of the United States
that. in his opinion, combinations against
the execution of the law of the United
States exist in that district, too powerful
to be overcome by the civil authority, you
will promptly order the marines, or any
other force under your command, TO ac:-
company and aid the marshal IN making
arrests, in preventing rescue, or IN recap
turing any person who has escaped or
been rescued by virsue OF any process IN
his hands. If. however, neither the
justice or district Judge shall be present
in the city of Boston at the time when
call for such assistance shall be made,
you will then act upon the like certificate
from the marshal or deputy, and render
the aid required.
To avoid any excess Of authority, you
will, in all such cases, direct the officer III
command of tue force herein described
10 receive, while on this service, the
orders of the marshal or deputy, and act
only in strict obedience thereto.

EXPLOITS OF ITALIAN BANDITTI-The
Bologna Gazette mentions new exploit
of the famous Fassatore. On the 21st
of January, while the families of For
linpopoli (Romagna) were enjoying the
pleasure of theatrical representation,
two detachments Of his band entered
the town, disarmed the few gend-
arnes who were on duty at the theatre,
and, mounting on the stage, ordered the
curtain TO be raised. Then, showing The
keys of the gates. they informed The
assembled public that they were masters
of the town, and ordered all the audience
to deliver up their money. They seized
the president Of the municipality, drag
ged him TO his house, which they pillag-
ed, and then having forced him to give
up the key of the Mont de Plete, went
to that establishment, and tried TO open
the Golfers, but Intellectually, because they
did not know the secret of the locks
While a part of the population Were
thus forced to remain in the theatre, ano-
ther part of the robbers were actively
engaged in piHlaging the houses OF the
richest inhabitants. At midnight all the
bandiIti effected their escape.

new invention to prevent the explo-
sion of steam boilers has recently been
patented. 1t is called Aliens Balance
Boiler Feeder or SIMPLIFYING Water Gage,
and is thus described:
The Boiler, when empty, can be filled
TO any required height by showing in the
piston so as to bring one of the feed pipes
thus saving the labor required for
pumping up after blowing off the boiler.
The exhaust steam is let into the reser-
voir, which is always charged with a
sufficient quantity of boiling water to re-
oIenish the leveler, thereby saving the
fuel necessary for heating up the boiler.
The Feeder will work the water from
the reservoir into the boiler, at any degree
of temperature to which water may be
heated consequently large amount OF
fuel will be saved by its use; and besides.
the oftener water is evapo:ated and con-
densed, the softer and purer it becomes,
aud the easier steam is generated from it..
1t will keep the water on level with
the piston where it enters the boiler, thus
preventing the possibility of a flow or
collapse and explosion Of the boiler from
the lack of water, in nine cases out OF
ten is the cause Of the terrible explosion
of steam boilers. Foaming of the water
in the boiler will not prevent its certain
and faithful operation. No power is re-
qulred to drive it, except to overcome a
small amount of friction, and any quanti-
ty of pressure in the boiler will effect or
prevent its easy motion and operation
The same machine will feed any number
of boilers in connection.

v j
Sir-Tnformation has just been COM
municated to the Presiden; that number
of persons. principally people of color,
in the city of Boston, did. few days
since combine TO prevent the execution
of the law providing for the arrest of
fugitive slaves, and did forc:bly rescue a
slave who had been arrested, from the
custody of the officers Of justice. 1t is
possible that the city authorities may find
it necessary TO call in the military force
10 aid in the execution of the law. If
such should be the case, and the marshal
or any of his deputies shall exhibit to you
the certificate of the circuit or district
Judge of the United States in the State
Of Massachusetts,, stating that, IN his
opinion, the aid of military force IS
necessary TO insure the due execution OF
the laws, and shall require your aid and
that of the troops under your command.
as part of the posse conaztdt~s, you will
place under the direction and control of
the marshal yourself and such portion OF
your command as may be deemed ade-
quate to the purpose. If neither the
circnit nor district Judge should be in the
city of Boston when the exigency above
referred to shall occur, the written certifi-
cate of the marshal alone will be deemed
sufficient for you to afford the requisite
aid.
