The raps then came from the outside of the

last question, but none came. The spirit had
gone, and after thinking on the extraordinary

Editorial Life and Phi!osophy.-J. L. Locke
Esq, in taking leave of the Savannah Repub
lican, which he has edited for the last thirteen
years, thus speaks Of editorial life:
The incessant mental and physical labor de.
manded to reproduce every morning sheet
that perisEes ere nighttall, can never, be appre-
ciated by those who view the circle of varied
operations from without. 1t is symbolliral in
classic story by the stone Of Sysiphu-, and the
wheel of Ixion, whic fear the fable of Tan
talus might be superadded to illustrate the for
tunes of many Of my brethren Of the quill in
the United Suites, for too often the promised
cup of enjoyment never comes near enough to
be tasted. The picture has its reverse, howev-
er. With all its draw backs, there is much that
is cheering in an editors life, and be is poor
philosopher, as well as an editor, who cannot
return every morning to his labors with renew
ed energy and determination.

PLAQUEMKNE:
Saturday, February 70, 1S53.

D'A singular affair recently occurred in Sa.
lem, Ohio. a dispute had arisen between the
Sheriff Of that county and the officers of the
Farmers Branch Bank in relation to the amount
of taxas the Bank WAS legally required to pay.
The sheriff, apparently thinking legal means to
settle the question too slow and uncertain,
went to the bank with an armed posse, succeed
ed by stratagem i'll getting in, assaulted and
beat the officers, and then, breaking open the
vault, took out S3,6OO, the amount claimed for
taxes. A high-handed act truly!

THE Boston Herald states that young
married lady, residing in Dover street, called at
a store in Washington street some time since,
and made some purchases. After she had paid
for the articles, the senior partner of the firm
asked her to step to the back of the store where
he accused her of stealing some articles and in
the most rude manner proceeded to search her
person. but of course found nothing. The La
dy upon reaching home was so shocked that she
was taken i'll of fever, and remained sick for
three weeks. The storekeeper heard of this
sickness, sent note apologizing for his rude-
ness, and requested permission to call at the
house and further explain the MATTER One
day last week the lady sent word that she
would see him on certain evening. The shop
keeper called accordingly, andwas shown into
the back parlor. Soon after the folding doors
were thrown open, and the husband of the in
suited lady led the astonished shopkeeper for
ward into the brilliantly lighted room, where
large party was assembled, and Introduced him
as 'the gentleman who had accused his wife
Of stealing" After minute or two. the gen.
tIeman of the house opened the door, when one
of The young ladies present went to the piano
and commenced the "Rogue's March," The
shopkeeper took the hint and left.

Journal of Commerce" as having lately occur,
red in the Dessa Tritck residency, Bembang di.
vision of Bodjonegoro.
A Javanese Singodrioni was awoke in the
night, at about three o'clock, by disqueting
noise in his buffalo stable. Thinking that ev-
ildoers were about stealing and taking off his
beloved buffa!oes, he, armed with his lance,
hastened to their relief By the light of the
moon, however, he saw with frighta large tiger
in the stable, and ready to spring upon him.
But, keeping his presence of mind, he pointed
his lance and awaited the attack of the tiger,
which he received on its point, and with such
good success that the tiger, badly wounded,
fed, but dropped dead after running about one
hundred yards. Three days after, the Javan.
ese's (Kromo) son was out cutting bamboos,
when he suddenly saw large tiger making to-
wards him. Armed only with large cutting
knife, (parang) he stood and waited the tigers
spring, which he avoided eleverlv by jumping
aside, and at the same time inficting severe
blow on the animals head, which made him
reel, snd then, selling him by the tail, repeat
ed his blows until he succeeded in finally des-
patching him.

Ehe NeW Empress of France.

The New York Commercial Advertiser is in.
debt ed TO friend who was formerly Il resident
in Spain, for the following sketch, which seems
to explain the family origin Of the new Empress
OF France very satisfactorily. Her history is
10 less romantic than that Of the Empress 1o-
sephine:
By to days adyices from Europe we are told
that the Emperor Napoleon Ill, has e>poused
Spanish lady, 'whose grandfather was British
Consul at Malaga, and whose mother was an
Irish lady by the name Of Fitzpatrick also,
that this new Empress was in her own right
Countess Ieb,, although, tearng the name Of
Nile Montego. Thus much by teiegraph.-
Now, the p ain English of all this is no doubt
as follows:
A worthy >;cotchlnan by the name Of VII,
liam kirkpatrick, was for sometime the Aue.
| rcan Consul 1T Malaga, and failing in business,
was succeeded by Geo,ge q. Barrel rs United
States Consul at Malaga. This was, think,
under President Nonroe's Administration.
Mr. klrkpatsick's eldest daughter Maria, or
Mariquita, as she was Familiarity called and
known by all Americans there was j very fine,
dashing lady, aud married the Count dc I'eba,
L younger brother Of the celebrated Palafox
who behaved so galan,ly at the seige OF Zara-
goza, and who in rep y to a demand of surren-
der, declared he would continue the defence by
war to the knife"
Tie Palafox family embraced numerous IT,
ties, and was sngulArly brave and noble
This husband Of Maria kirkpatrick Count
de Ieba) was a gallant soldier, and SO cut up
by wounds as to be unable to mount his horse
without aid, and VIXEN in the saddle looked
more as if he was hooked on than seated there.
The new Empress of the French is no doubt
the daughter of this Countess Teba-Marquita
kpa.rek-who was the daughter OF William
Kirkpatrick, late United States Consul at Maa.
ga-not British Consul-not Fitzpatrick--and
not Irish.
The British Consul at Malaga was William
Laird, another old Scotch gentleman, and he
was followed by Mr.. Marks, an Englishman.
If the new Empress of France was Countess
Teba, as stated, then her mother is dead, as also
is her father, and took the title of her mother.
The name Montego, under which she passed in
Paris, is perhaps one of the family names or
titles Of the Palafox family.
