Among the writer's on the Roman Law whose
works best known TO knghsh ana American
LAWYERS and which have exered the most intiu-

work entitled The Cirii Lao IN its Natural Or

ssconsi3eriug the age and the circumstances IN
which n was written, is truly wonderful per-
formancc. His method is excellent, and his mat
ter clear, exact, and comprehensive
The object Of the author, in this learned produc-
ton, was 10 disembarrass those of the principles
and provisions Of the Roman law which are OF gen
oral interest and application, from the TECHNICAL
ties of the system, and, by presenting them in a
natural and scientific method, to render them more
intelligibe, and their attainment more useful and
agreeable; and, though the work was particularly
intended for and adapted to the French jurspru-
dcnce of the age it is not less applicable TO every
system OF law, Of which the Roman code is either
a part, or in which ii is recognized as body Of
written reason. Besides the general claims which
Nhe work thus possesses to the attention OF the Anne
1ycan lawyer, bonat has peculiar interest in those
of the States whose legal institutions are derived
IN part from those of France Spain, and are thus
founded in the Roman law.
These reasons have induced belief on the part
of the publishers that modern edition Of this ccc
brated work would be acceptable to the profession,
and have led them to engage in republication of
the English translation OF it by DIR. Strahan

Pleasure or beIng an Emperor.

When the Emperor Joseph the
Second was in Paris, in the reign oil
Louis the Sixteenth, he was in the
habit of walking about the city incog-
nito. One morning he went into an
elegant coffee house, and asked for
cup of chocolate. He was plainly
dressed, and the walters insolently
refused it, saying it was too early.
Without making any reply, he walk
ed out, and went into little coffee
house, nick named the "one-eyed."
He asked for cup Of chocolate, and
the landlord politely answered that
it should be ready in a moment.
While he waited for it, as the coffee
house was empty, he walked up and
down, and was conversing on differ
ent subjects, when the landlords
daughter, very pretty girl, made
her appearance. The emperor wish
ed her a good day, according to the
French mode, and observed 10 her
father that it was time she should be
married. "AhI'' replied the old man,
'sif ] had a thousand crowns | could
marry her to a man who is very fond
Of her-but, SIR, the chocolate is
ready" The emperor called for pen
ink and paper. the girl ran to fetch
them. and he gave her an order or
his bank for six thousand livres.

HAYNAU.-A correspondent Of the
Boston Atlas, speaking of the
meeting OF the Austrian and Russian
Enperors at Olmutz, says:
All the principal Austrian Gener-
ais, as stated in my last, have, been
invited to attend the military ma
neuvres TO take place there: Ii
seems there has teen one remaTka-
bic exception. Gen. Haynau srri-
we'd here yesterday from Moravia,
and tits said that though he expressed
a particular desire to pay his respects
to the Emperor Nicholas, his wish
has not been granted at.ri
This is the more singular, as
Prince Windischgraiz, W b o was
certainly more disgraced than Hay
nau BY removal, has received this
mark OF honor. AL generals Of any
note are among the invited. There
certainly is something sin gular,
something which shows at least a
bold and fearless character, in the
present conduct Of Haynau. He
has Just bought an estate in Hunga-
~, and intends to reside permanently
upon it, though every one tells him
that in case OF arising his lie will be
the first sacrifice. His journey to
London was also in opposition to the
wishes Of his friends a~

GREAT WILL CASE DECIDED
ISlaves Liberated.-There has been
for some time before the courts at
Richmond (Va.l what was known as
the Ragland will case, and the ver-
dict OF the jury, just made, offers a
singular commentary upon the re-
peated declaration of Northern lanat-
les, that the colored man cannot meet
with justice in the South. The Rich

"That will liberated eighty or nine
ty negroes in the midst OF oae OF the
largest slave holding communities in
the world, and devoted to their use

which could be brought to bear upon
it. The trial was conducted with
the utmost circumspection; witnesses
were examined and cross examined;
the whole testimony was reduced to
writing, SO that the jury could read
il all for themselves, las we learn that
they did a great portion Of IT'D and
then the case was argued with all
the ability that able and ingenious
council were capable Of exercising.
After all, fully understanding the
merits Of the case, jury composed
almost entirely Of the shareholders

sympathies, at least. with slayehol-
.ders-decided in favor Of the will."n

PoMRRoY SALr.-We are grati6ed
to state in our present number, that
the salt question in Pomeroy is fixed,
The Pomeroy company have been
completely successful in their expert
nent. Their well is now alta depth
OF 1000 feet-with the most abun-
dant supply of water. II is said by
old salt manufacturers to be. the
strongest well west Of the Alieghe-
nies. The furnace will be immedi-
ately erected, and put in operation.
Such are the facilities here for manu-
featuring salt, that no works in the
vest can compete with US. Thus
has a new element OF wealth been
opened which added to our coal and
iron will in a few years build up a
city second to none above Cincinnati
ia business and wealth. Perhaps
Capitalists viii discover, at last, that
they have missed golden opportuni-
ties for investment. Our own citi-
zens have now taken hold Of the
matter and rich return will be the
Of their enterprise.

The following statement Of the per.
formances OF "fast steamers on the
Western waters, some thirty years
since, will be found interesting at this
age Of Improvement. Steamers are
now being built that are calculated to
make regular trips from New Orleans
to Louisville in .fve days, Who can
tell the time thatit will take to perform
the trip thirty years hencel
BY a letter from an officer of the
steamboat Enterprise, we are informed
that she was at Natchez on the e4th of
March, 1915, having, subsequent to the
18th Of January, made from New Or.
leans FIVE trips to the Balize and one to
the rapids Of Red river. Her last trip
from New Orleans to Natchez was made
in four DAYS, distance of three hun
dred and thirteen miles, against the
strong current of the Mississippi, with
out the aid of sails, her rigging having
previously been laid aside. She will
make two more voyages between the
last mentioned places, and then take
her departure homewards.
The steamboat Enterprise worked up
from New Orleans to Bardstown. nearly
1900 miles, in IS days. II is calculated
that the voyage by steamboats, from
New Orleans to Pittsburgh, about twen-
ty-three hundred miles, will be made
in So days. How do the rivers and
canals OF the old world dwindle to in
significance compared with this-and
what a prospect OF commerce is held out
TO the immense regions of the West
by the use of these boaisl II is
thought that freight from New Dr.
leans to Louisville (at The falls of the
Ohio) will soon be reduced to 81 so
per 100 weight.

F rom the CineinnatI Commercial
The First steamboat on the OhIo RIVeE

The First Steamboat on the Ohio River.
Mn. EEIToR: As there are many
erroneous opinions extant concerning
the first steamboat built on the Wes-
tern waters, the undersigned would
like you to publish their evidence in
the matter. Irf
In the fall Of 1911 we were both
present at the launching Of the first
steamboat built on the Ohio river,
and on board Of her. She was built
at the Pipetown ship-ynrd, at Pitts
burgh; was intended for the Pitts
burgh and New Orleans trade, and
called the "Orleans." She was built
after the fashion Of a ship, with port
holes in the side--long bowsprit-
painted a sky blue. Her cabin was
in the hold.
She left in November Of that year
QSID for New Orleans and made
the trip down in safety, but was
never able TO get back over the Falls,
her power being insufficient to pro-
pei her against a strong current
She continued TO run below the Falls
for some time. Many persons are
OF the opinion that the Enterprise
was the first boat built for the above
trade. Such is not the fact. The
Enterprise was the fourth or fifth
boat built. The names Of the others
were the Etna and Vesuvius, built
by a company who had charter
for IA years, renewable, for the sole
navigation, by steam, Of the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers. The Enter
prise was built at Brownsville by a
private company, and on her arri-
val at New Orleans was attached
for an infringement Of the chartered
rights of the company. A legal
investigation followed, and the own
ers Of the Enterprise game the suit
by proving that the plaintiffs had
violated their charter. Thus ended
the steamboat monopoly on the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers.

serious and lowering; the forehead
narrow and deeply corrugated. His

An earthquake was felt in this
city yesterday morning, about 10
O'Clock. There were three distinct
shocks, the whole occurring in about
one minute. A friend. who noted
the occurrence, says that the motion
was undulating, or waye.like, and
appeared to proceed from the south
west. The second shock was deci-
dedly the strongest, the FIRST and
third being about equal TO each
other. None of them were accom-
panied with any perceptible sound.
AS our informant had watch in
his hand, the, time and duration can
be relied upon as accurate The
morning was somewhat cloudy, cool
and calm--iollowed, not a great
while afterward, by a slight rain,
with thunder. About half-past two
it cleared up, with warm sunshine,
and so continued for the balance ol
the days. Louis Rep. All inst.
