The Peor MAN aud the Rich.

The Hon. Edward Everett, in one OF
his beautiful speeches in Boston, the
other evening, (at the dinner to Mr..
Baring) argued in his felicitous style,
that there could be no antagonism be-
tween capital and labor. The owner of
capital he said, in England or America,
really reaps the smallest portion Of the
advantages which few from its possess
sion-he being but kind of head book
keeper or chief clerk to the business
community. He may be as rich as
CrGsus, but he can neither eat, drink,
nor wear more than one mans portion.
Mr.. Everett said he remembered hear.
ing a jest made about MIR. Astor's prop
erty, which contained, he thought, q
great deal of meaning-a latent practi.-
cal philosophy, Some one was asked
whether he would be willing to take
care Of all Mr.. Astor's property y-eight
or ten millions of dollars, merely for his
board and clothing "No," was the in
dignant answer; do you think me a
fool Z" "Well," rejoins the other, "that
is all Mr.. Astor himself gets for taking
care Of it he's found and that's ALL
The houses, the warehouses, the ships,
the farms which he counts by the hun
dreds and is obliged to take care of, are
for the accommodation of others" "But
then he has the income, the rents of all
this mighty property, Eve or six hundred
thousand dollars per annum." Yes,
but he can do nothing with his income
but build more houses and warehouses
and ships, Or loan mere money on mort
gage for the convenience of others. He's
found, and you can make nothing else
out of it.n

A Castor Oil Epiden,ie.- Ion n late

n Castor Oil Epidemic Ion late
trip of one of our New Orleans stea-
mers, she was crowded with German
emigrants. AS might be expected,
their appetite for fruit and vegetables,
after long sea voyage, was most yo-
racious. At Selma, short distance
below this city, the boat received some
fifteen or twenty sacks of castor beans,
consigned to MIR. Blow. The appear
ance of the bean, "good to the eye"
excited the cravings of the emigrants.
Finally, curiosity and appetite tri-
umphed; bag was surreptitiously
opened, a large pan full extracted, and
a huge luncheon of soup prepared. In
a short time the passengers in the cab
in, and the officers of the boat, were
startled by the report that the cholera.
in its worst form, had broken out on
deck. On going below, they found
that the castor OIL was doing its work.
The bag lay exposed, and a large pot
full of this rare delicacy steaming hot
on the table. The thing was soon
solved, and the captain had to go into
quarantine, because, as he said, "the
Dutch didn't know beans"
