There is a sort of natural instinct hui
man dignity in the heart Of man, which steels
his very nerves not to bend beneath the hca-
w blows of great adversely. The palm tree
grows best beneath n ponderous weight
even so the character of man. There is no
merit in it---it is a law of psychology. The
petty pangs of small daily cares have often
bent the character of men, but great misior-
tunes seldom. There is less danger in this
than In rreat GOOD luck.

on the subject of the Kossuth demonstrations
in the United States:
"Therc is no doubt growing wish

struggle for it. But for the present the

IMPORTANT DEoIs1oN.- Superior Court
of New York has decided that the actual cX-
penditure by the corporation for work done
by their order, is legal debt against the
owner of lots benefited thereby and is real
incumbrance, affecting the title to such lots.
1t establishes claims in the corporation against
property holders to the amount Of more than
half million of dollars.
1t imposes upon lawyers also the necess-
ty of embracing new subject of inquiry in
the examination of titles to real estate
They must not only search for assessments,
&c, but they must see that there are no out
standing liabilities over and above the assess
ments by the corporation, for actual eXpen-
ditures made by order Of the corporation on
city improvements.

"LUcx."-The Bath Mirror says true
thing or two, on this subject
'Luck is a word that has no place in the
vocabulary of the successful man, and is used
only by those who are 40 blind or ignorant
as to be unable to trace effects back TO cause.
We do not propose an argument from this
text to-day, but merely wish 10 present the
idea to our readers for them to discuss.-
There are feelings of dependency prevalent
among mankind, which the consideration of
the subject will dssipatc, and many who be-
lieve themselves doomed TO poverty and toll,
by giving earnest heed to the faith which this
truth will create will find themselves rising
at once from misery they so much fear
Fear of bad luck operates as continued
check on many, crushes enterprises, and pros.
trates energies. 1t is the conscience that
doth make towards of us all
and only by taking a rational and common
sense view of the operating causes that
change our position and affect our wcll-bcing,
are we enabled to profit by them, and shake
of the chain that our weakness and irreso-
luton have permitted us to become cnslaycd
with.

THE LoPEz FRAUD AND DECEPTloy.----
The Mobile Register publishes Il letter from
Chas A. Downcr, one of the Cuban prison.
crs sent to Spain, in which he relates some of
the particulars of the expedition, and of its
final result, and concludes his statement as
follows:
"Again say thus ended the expedition, and
80 it ought to have ended. For IN expedition
like this, raised through deception, where
young men of no experience in affairs of this
sort, are induced through false representa-
tons to join in revolution, Gods curse
ought to be upon it, and the leaders should
be made to suffer such torments rs none but
demons could invent. But no; the most in
nocent in this case have been made TO suffer
For Col. Haynes and Capt. Kelley, two men
who worked harder to get up the expedition
! than any others, were by order of the Cap
tain General, released at Havana. But Gods
will be done: if | am doomed TO remain n
prisoner here, / shall submit and bear my fate
like man. But should it be my luck to re-
turn home, ! assure you sincerely that it is
the last time, as well us the first that | will
ever engage in an undertaking of the kind"
Such is the concurrent testimony of all the
men engaged in this ill fatod affair, from
whom the public have had any statement
General Rosas has recently had conferred
on him power in Buenos Ayres, equal to
that of Louis Napoleon in France. He is still
called Governor, but hereafter the govern
ment is simply whatever the Governor wals.
1t really appears that genuine Republicanism
is on the wane in the world around us. 1t
the more behooves us to stand steadfastly by
the pure principles and practices of the earli-
er administrations of this government. Many
iollies and wrongs are perpetrated in the name
of democracy and republicanism. Let us
look carefully to principle, trusting not too
much to Names.
