test the question of the validity of tax titles to

favor of the title of the purchasers at the tau
sales, and is of vast Importance as settling tho
law in n large class of eases in the Western
States. The following is the substance of the
material points decided:
l. That tax deed given under sale made by
virtue of the law of 1888, was prima facie evil
dence Of title in the purchaser.
2. That the defendant having prima tdcie IT,

We understand upon respectable authority
that most astounding and conclusive evidence
had been received at the State department from
our Minister in Mexico that the notorious Gardi-
ner claim is fraud absolutely and entire, and that
evidence has been produced that all the books
and vouchers for half million were forged.
The case we learn comes on in few days in
court, where the Government will ask for q post
ponement with n view Of bringing witnesses
from Mexico.
A deputation of Irishmen, $50 in number, ar
rived to-day from Baltimore to memoralize pres
ident Fillmore to appeal for the relief of Smith
O'Brien and his associates.

more with 1900 names
Dr. c. also delivered an address pleading the
cause in which he referred to the release of Kos
suth as case in point.
The President, in reply, distinctly said, that
Government would not interfere, as it would be
infringing on our National policy of Non-Inter-
vention
He said that should Government apply, and be
Indignantly refused for examples sake, there
would be no remedy. He would act officially in
reference to the prisoners held by other nations
who were citizens of the u. S.; but this was not
the case.
The Governor had not interviewed even for the
liberty Of Lafayette when imprisoned at Oh
mutt, nor was the case OF Kossuth familiar to
these applications, he was a subject of Austria,
and our government applied to Turkey where
he was held prisoner
The President however promised to do all he
could personally to meet the prayer of the petit
TONERS.
Darcy MCGEE then presented memorial
with 5000 signatures in behalf of O'Brien and his

could not deviate from our national policy, he

The MAns.-The subject is not agreeable
we can say nothing in favor of existing arrange
ments. Our mails come along 4" semi-occasion-
ally" Theyare evidently shipped at New York
for "Cowes and a market; when they reach
Cowes they wait /" for orders" The Dutchmans
direction to the traveller exactly fits the present
mail arrangement. "Go one-half mile down dat
road and den come back, cause dast is not de
right road; den turn de barn round, dare you
find a guide board wild de letters rubbed off, 90
by dat" The Post Master General may not be
to blame-the boiler that burst on the Missis-
sippi was declared not to bame-it was good
enough for it. The mail bags we dare say are
solely at fault; and we would attack them, but
the law makes it penal, and if we have an aver
sion for anything, it is to violating the laws of
the wing creed sod ne,os,' and other kindred
evils. Free Press.

From tho German of Schiller.
THE WORTH OF WOMAN.
Ehret die FrGuene,

1lftfeS Ute ETNueHes
Honorod be woman she beams on tho sight.
Graceful and fair like being of light;
Scatters around her wherever she strays,
Roses of bliss DER our thorn-covered ways;
Roses of Paradise sent from above,
To be gathered and twined in garland Of Love
Man on PASSIONS stormy ocean,
Tosscdby surges mountain high,
Courts the hurricanes commotion,
Spurns at Reasons feeble cry.
Loud the tempest roars around him,
Louder still it roars within;
Flashing lights Of hope confound him,
Stuns him lifo's incessant din.
Woman invites him with bliss in her smilo,
To cease from his toll and be happy awhile;
Whispering wooingly, come to my bower,-
Go not in search of the phantom ofpower-
Honor and wealth are illusory-come!
Happiness dwells in the temple Of Homo.
Man, with fury stern and savage,
Persecutes his brother man;
Reckless if he bless or ravage,
Action-action-still his plan.
Now creating-now destroying
Ceaeeless wishes tear his breasti-
Ever seeking-ne'er enjoying
Still to be-but never blest.
Woman, contented in silent repose,
Enjoys in its beauty lifs's flower as it blow,
And water and tends it with innocent heart;
Far richer than man with his treasures Of Art.
Andw by far in her circle confined.
Than he with his science and flights Of the mind.
Coldly to himself suficing,
Man disdains the gcntler arts;
Knoweth not the bliss arising
From tho interchange Of hearts.
Slowly through his bosom stealing,
Flows the genial current on,
Till by Age's frost congeRling,
1t is hardened into stone.
She, like the harp, that instinctiTOly rings
As tho night breathing zephyr soft sighs on the
strings,
Responds to each impulse with ready rcply,
Whether sorrow or pleasure her sympathy try;
And tear-drops and smiles Of her countcnancC
play,
Like sunshine and showers Of a morning of May
Through thc range of mans dominion,
Terror is the ruling word
And the standard of opinion
Is the temper of the sword.
Strife oXults, and Pity, blushing,
From the scenO dOspairing flies,
Whcro, to battle, madly rushing,
Brother upon brother dies.
Woman commando with o milder control
She rules by enchantmcnt the realm OF the soul.
As she glances around in the light of her smile,
The war Of the Passions is hushed for awhile
And discOrd, content from his fury to cease,
Roposcs entrance on the pillow of Poace.
