pears that the amiable youth to whom she
SO lightly pledged her faith was under the
influence Of the worst affliction of all, &C.
cording to Broussais, which can beset poor
human nature-the presence of the auee IT,
dce;: and having once managed to confne
his bride within the walls of his own castle,
he revealed to her the horrid truth-the
reason of his perseverance in courtship-
of the sacrifice in settlement--of the admi-
ration and affection he had felt from the first
moment Of beholding her-the slenderness
Of her neck, which would enable him to
accomplish feat which he had long had in
view-that of striking off her head at one
single blow! 1t appears that the Hospodar
is the victim of hereditary madness, which
was not disclosed to his bride until he ar
rived at the castle. She has returned to us
subdued and melancholy, no longer the joy
Gus bouteztrap, she was one short year ago,
but nevertheless thankful for her escape,

The MOldavian Bridegroom.

Our fashionable world has, of course, not
been without its usual scrap of weekly gos-
sip; this consists in the sudden return to
Paris of the fair widow, who, after having
driven to despair whole armies of admirers
of every cline and every nation, had be-
slowed her hand, from ambitions sake, upon
one of the young Moldavian princes whose
stay here gave such animation and gaiety
to our family circles last winter. From
the time we heard of her existence-not, alas,
at any distant court, not in the fashionable
world of Jassy, nor yet as traveller in the
south, but languishing in her husbands
castle on the Danube, where she was great
and powerful, rich and magnificent, honored
and feared, but-a prisoner. The sad ac-
counts at length moved to pity some few Of
her ancient lovers, and they resolved to de-
part together and rescue her, if necessary,
from the tyranny of the husband and the
foreigner. What has taken place in Mol
davia no one knows at present, but the re-
suit of the expedition Of these enfans per-
DIS of the jockey club, has been the return
of the fair bride, whose horror and aversion
of the savage climes to which she has been
exiled are loudly expressed. She has come
to sue for divorce, having been advised to
turn protestant in order to accomplish this
end Her description of her married life
is somewhat singular, and is to form the SUBJ
ject of narrative which is shortly to be
published, and will, no doubt, be translated
into every European language as warning

JAMES BUCHANAN, Esq, Secretary of State:
Sir-With my despatch No. 27S, of 25
March 1 transmitted the note of Lord Alb
erdeen of the 10th of March communica-
ting the important information that this
government had come to the determination
to concede to American fishermen the right
of pursuing their occupation within the Bay
of Fundy. It was left somewhat uncertain
by Lord Aberdeen's note, whether this con-
cession was intended to be confined to the
Bay of Fundy, or to extend to other por-
tions of the coasts of the Anglo-American
possessions, to which the principles contend
ed for by the government Of the United
States, equally apply, and particularly to
the waters on the Northeastern shores of
Cape Breton, where the argus was cap
tured. In my notes of the 25th ultimo,
and I'd instant, on the subject of the ''Wash-
ington" and the ARGUS was careful to
point out to Lord Aberdeen that all the
reasons for admitting the right of Ameri-
cans to fish in the Bay of Fundy, apply to
those waters and with superior force, mas

Curious Description.

A gentleman from Paris writes the fol-
lowing
I saw through one of the windows of the
Mayors office, in the twelfth arrondisement,
what seemed to be the body of a negro
hanging by the neck. At the first glance,
and even at the second, I took 1t for hu-
man being, whom disappointed love, or per-
haps an expeditions Judge, had disposed Of
so suddenly; but 1 soon ascertained that
the ebony gentleman in question was large
doll, as large as life. What to think Of
this | did not know so | asked the door
keeper the meaning of it.
"This is the Contraband Museum was
the answer; and OH my showing curiosity
to examine it, he was kind enough to act as
my quadrone.
In huge dirty room arc scattered over
the floor, on the walls and along the ceiling,
all the inventions of roguery which had
been co1fiscated from time to time by those
guardians of the law, the revenue officers.
1t is a complete arsenal of the weapons of
smuggling, all, unfortunately, in complete
confusion.
Look before you, there is a hogshead
dressed up as nurse, with child that holds
two quarts and a half. On the other side
are logs hollow as the Trojan horse, and
filed with armies of cigars. On the other
door lies huge boa constructor, gorged with
China silks: and just beyond it a pile of
coal curiously perforated with spoOls of cot
ton.
The colored gentlemen who excited my
sympathy at first, met with his fate under
the following circumstances He was built
of tin, painted black and stood like hey
duck or Ethiopian chasseur on the foot
board of carriage. fastened by his feet and
hands. He had frequently passed through tho
gates, and was well known by sight to the
soldiers, who noticed that he was always
showing his teeth-which they supposed to
be the custom of his country.
One day the carriage he belonged to was
stopped by crowd at the gate. There was,
as usual, grand chorus Of yclls and oaths.
the vocal part being performed by the driv-
ers and cartmen, and the instrumental by
their whips
The negro, however, never spoke single
word. His good behavior delighted the sol.
diers, who held him up as an example to
the crowd.
"Look at the black fellow" they cried
"see how well he behaves! Bravo, niger,
bravo"
He showed perfect Indifference to their
applause.
"My friend" said clerk at barrier,
jumping upon the foot-board, and slapping
our sable friend on the shoulder, "we arc
really much obliged to you -
Oh, surprise the shoulder ratified. Tho
officer was bewildered he sounded the
footman all over and found he was made Of
metal, and as full as skin would hold of the
very best contraband liquor, drawn out Of
his foot.
The juicy mortal was seized at once and
carried off in triumph.
The first night the revenue people drank
up one of his shoulders, and he was soon
bled to death. 1t was now six years since
he lost all the moisture from the body of
his system, and was reduced to dry skele-
ton.

The Presidential ticket of the Democra

The Presidential ticket of the Democra-
cy possesses negative order of merit,
which will probably commend itself to many
who are hostile to Improvement and progress.
1t has already been shown that General
Pierce was opposed to internal improve
ments, and can stand upon the Baltimore
platform very comfortably. 1t will be re-
collected that during the session of 1S5O-51,
the river and harbor bill which had passed
the House, was defeated in the Senate by
the factious opposition of the minority, on
the last day of the session. One of the
most active of those who we're engaged in
this underhanded opposition was Mr.. King
He voted against a resolution to take up the
bill, and opposed it in every available way
making nine different motions having for
their object the prolongation of the debate
until the close of the session He and his
factious coadjutors succeeded in defeating
the bill Boston Journal.

How to get rid Of Cockroaches.

There is probably no greater nuisance
about house than roaches-the most pro-
life of the vermin kind. We have heard
many ways of driving them out, but never
of any remedy that was more completely
vouched for than the following. 1t is SIM
pie, and at least worthy of trial:
"Mr Tweksbury Nottingham, in letter
to the "Maux Sum- says: L forward an
easy, clean, and certain method of eradica-
ting these insects from dwclling-houses. A
few years ago my house was infested with
cockroaches Tor clocks, as they are called
here0 and l was recommended to try Gu
cumber peelings as remedy. accord
ingly, Immediately before bed time. strew-
cd the floor of that part of the house most
infested by the vermin, with the green peel
cut not very thin from the cucumber and
sat up half an hour later than usual to see
the effect. Before the expiration of that
time, the floor where the peel lay was COM
pletely covered with cockroaches, SO much
so that the vegetable could not be seen-so
voracously were they engaged in sucking
the poisonous moisture from it. I adopted
the same plan the following night, but my
visitors were not so numerous-I should
think not more than fourth of the previous
night On the third night could not dis
cover one; but anxious to discover whether
the house was quite clear of them, exam
incd the peel, after had lain it down half
an hour, and perceived that it was covered
with minute cockroaches, about the size Of
flea. therefore allowed the peel to ie
till morning, and from that time have not
seen single cockroach in the house. 1t is
very old building; and | am certain that
the above remedy only requires to be per-
severed in for three or four nights, to COM
pletcly eradicate the pest. Of course it
should be fresh cucumber peel every night.

Sweet thoughts, bright dreams, my comfort be,

And here am alone,
What thoughts were mine in early youth!

Brimful of love, of life, of truth,
My spirit gushed along.

Nor minstral aonors now.
But fancy mas magic power,

Just as if she didn't know all her fine points

No, you inefable donkeys if you must
use the small coin of fattery to pay toll at

she is your first love- We all know thot is

What a splena5terous husband l Fanny

the mother of my glorious boys wanted a
sxpence to buy their shoe strings, I'd scowl
at her like hyena, and pull my porte-mon-
naie out of my pocket as if | were drawing
a tooth? Do you suppose, when her blue
eyes grew lustreless, and the rose paled on
her fair cheek, trotting around the domes-
tic tread-mi1l day after day, that I'D come
home at night sulky and silent, and smoke
my cigar in her face till her eyes were as
red as a rabit's or take myself off to club
or a game at nine pins, or amy other game,
and leave her to the exhilerating relaxation
of darning my stockings?
Do you suppose I'd trot along like loose
pony at her side in the street, and leave her
to keep up with me or not as her strength
would permit Do you suppose I'd fly in
to passion and utter words TO crush the life
from out her young heart, and then insult
her by offering healing plaster in the shape
of new bonnet? And don't you suppose,
when the anniversary of our wedding day
came round, I'd write dainty little note
and leave it on her toilet table, to let her
know was still married lover?

Do you suppose we have cultivated our
minds and improved the bright and glorious
gift of intellect, to the best of our capacity,
to minister only to your physicai wants /!
Not bit of it When that's over, we
