The LICENSE OF THE FLOATING
PALACE.-In a suit, commenced by
arrangement, between the city OF
Louisville and Messrs. Spalding &
Rogers. Of the Floating Palace, be-
fore Judge Joyes, Of the Police
Court, on Saturday, a decision was
given that the license from the Gus
tom House of the United States TO
the Flosting Palace, as an amphi-
theatre. does not protect it from the
imposition Of tax for licenses from
States and cities. The suit was
instituted at the suggestion of Messrs.
Spalding & Rogers, so as TO enable
them TO carry up the case TO the Su-
preme Court, as has been done in
Ohio aud Indiana.
Judge Greer and Mclean. of the
Supreme Court OF the United States,
are OF the opinion that the Palace is
exempt from city and State taxation
for license, in the same manner that
steamboats, carrying freight and pas
sengers are protected thersin by the
license from the Custom House Of
the United States.--Lon. Journal.

THE ANGEL-wATCH.
Or the Sisters.

Or ne Sisters.
A daughter watched at midnight
Her dying mothers bed;
For five long nights she had not slept,
And many tears we're shed;
A vision like an angel came,
Which none but her might see;
''Sleep, duteous child,7 the angel said,
sand will watch for thee!"
Sweet slumber, like blessing fell
Upon tae daughters face;
The angel smiled. but touched her not,
But gently took her place;
And oh, so full Of human love
Those pitying eyes did shine,
The angel-guest half mortal seemed
The sIumberer half divine.
Like rays of light The sIeeper's locks
In warm loose curls we're thrown;
Like rays Of light the angels hair
Seemed like the sleeper's own.
"A rose-iike shadow on the cheek,
Dissolving into pearl;
A something in that angels face
Seemed sister to the girl!
The mortal and immortal each.
Rejecting each were seen;
The earthly and the spiritual,
With DEATHS pale face between.
U human love, what strength like thine?
From thee those prayers arise
Which, entering into Paradise,
Draw angels from the skies.
The dawn looked through the easement cold
A wintry dawn Of gloom,
And sadder showed the curtained bed
The still and sickly room;
'My daughfer9--art thou there, my ehiIdf
On, haste thee, love, come nigh,
That may see once more thy face,
And bless thee, ere die!
"lfever were harsh to thee,
Forgive me now she cried;
"God knows my heart, | loved thee most
When most seemed to chide;
Now bend and kiss thy mothers lips,
And for her spirit prayn'
The angel hsfed her; and her soul
Passed blissfullY away!
A sudden start what dream, what sound,
The slumbering girl aiarmsf
She wakes-she sees her mother dead
Within the angels arms!
She wskes--she springs with wild embrace
But nothing there appears
Except her mothers sweet dead face
Her own eonvulsive tears.

-DREADFUL MORTAITY.-NineIy-
two deaths from cholera occurred at
Jackson, Mo-, between the lIih and

the st. Louis Republican. writing
from Jackson, says:-"Our whole
population is perhaps three hundred
and fifty, but during the prevalence
Of the cholera there was not an av-
erage OF more than two hundred;
you can therefore perceive that in the
space Of about two weeks one-fourth
Of our population was cut off-a de-
gree Of mortality unprecedented, at
least within my knowledge.

SINGULAR DEATH OF A Boy
Thomas Larkin, Is years of age,
while bathing in the river at Windsor
Locks, Conn.,, was heard TO utter a
cry of pain, and sink with a back
ward motion as If drawn UNDER
The boy who was with him, and
saw him sink, raised an alarm, and
Mr.. VIM. B. Turpin, Of Springfield,
who was at work in the vicinity.
Immediately proceeded to the spot
and dove in after the little fellow
He found him about 26 feet from the
spot where he was seen to sink,
lying on the bottom, with his face
downward. When taken from the
water he was dead, and upon ex-
animation the fleshy part OF his leg
appeared to have been bitten as If
by a large fish. Upon one side were
seven incisions TO the depth of three
quarters Of an inch and six upon the
other. They were evidently made
by the teeth Of a fish, and Of what

Bad luck, as well as miSchance and
misfortune, are all the daughters of
misconduct, and sometimes the moth
ers OF success, prosperity and ad-
vancemeni. To be thrown on ones
own resources is 10 be cast into the
very lap Of fortune. Had Franklin
entered Philadelphia with a thousand
dollars in his pocket, instead of one
shilling and nine pence, as he did, in
all probability he would have gone
on "spree," instead Of hunting up
employment, and died at the age OF
thirty-five from driving tandems and
drinking brandy snashes, instead of
living to the green old age of eighty,
and dying a philosopher, whose
amusement was the tanning Of the
thunderbolis and bottIing up light
ming. Had Napoleon's father been
the owner Of a princely estate, his
son would never have got to be en-
peror. A good kick out Of doors is
better for boy than all the rich un-
cles in the world. One never tries
TO swim so hard as when he has to
do it or drown. To be a rich mans
son is the greatest misfortune that
can befall a young man, mentally
speaking. Who fills our officesl-I
not the children OF the rich or the
sons Of the opulent. A knowledge
of starch and debauchery is all rich
mans son aspire 10. The parlor is
the scene OF their oratory, and hair
oil the care of their souls, poor crea-
tures!-Al5any Knick. ..n .

THE PHnsrDEoY.-Ihs whis orsans, in their despe-
ration, laboring to make point for their candi

lar journals predict the success Of Pierce and think
he il better choice than Scott. How very silly
this is! What has that to do, way or the other
with the merits Of the candidates. or the principles
upon which they seek to be elected But it seems
to rs, If there is any weight in English opinion, IN
reference to American affairs in particular, or hu nan
liberty in general, that the argument lies rather on
the other side. The London Times represents the
popular sentiment Of England, and is the great pa
per Of the masses and middle classes, who are al
ways more in favor Of freedom than the arisocracy
That journal 10 in favor Of Pierce. The Duke OF
Wellington, on the other hand, has come out IN
favor Of General Scott The greatest general Of the
Old World declares in favor of the greatest general
Of the New; and in this he is sustained by AL the
oligarehy and their presses "Lke loves like" and
the Iron Duke" no doubt holds that the beet
man to rule monarchy or . republic is the srbra-
~ military man, whose word is Law. His Grace was
taken into the councils of the Queen, aad was the
prime minister Of England, which is anala to the
Office of President of the United States (the mon
arch being mere cipher) But it was found that the
hero Of hundred fights, and the conQueror of Ma
poleon at Waterloo not only had not the brains OF
Napoleon for civil government, but was . perfect
