APPOINTMENT OF NATURALIZED CITIZENS
TO OFFIcE.-A correspondent of La Repub-
licaia, the evening French paper in New
York, says that NJ. de Lamartine has written
a letter to one OF the members Of the Cabi-
net at Washington, eulogizing the policy of
President Piorce in sending naturalized ctl.
zens as diplomatic ENJOYS to European
Courts, thus demonstrating that under de-
mocratie institutions neither rank nor for
tune, nor social position, nor political ante
cedents, can prevent man Of energy and
talent from arriving at the highest dignikes
that the republic establishes no dis,inc-
tions between men, and that whether native
or of foreign birth, they are equal in its
eyes"
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.--The celebrated
CREOLE case is about to be brought to the
public attention in new shape. 1t will be
recolected that in the year l84l a schoon-
er called the CREOLE was taken possession
of by number Of fsIaves of whom there were
one hundred and thrty-fve on board, while
on voyage from Norfolk to New Orleans
The negroes took the vessel into Nassau
where the British authorities refused
to reduce the mutineers to obedience,
or to deliver them up, or to aid the officers
and owners in recovering possession of the
schooner. The result was that the slaves
gained their freedom, and were lost to their
masters. A demand was Immediately made
upon the British Government for indemnity
on behalf Of the owners Mr.. Webster in.
structcd Mr.. Everett and Lord Aberdeen,
and subsequently between M. Webster
and Lord Ashburton; but the British nego-
tiators resisted the demands upon the ground
that the authorities of Bermudas were not
responsible for the acts of the negroes, and
were not bound to deliver them up as mutt
neers in the absence Of any treaty embrac-
| ing the case. Lord Ashburton declined
admitting the claim as a subject for nego.
tiation in the correspondence which pre-
ceded the conclusion OF the treaty of 1913,
but it is alleged, held out no expectations
that it would be subsequently adjusted by
his Government. The owners of the slaves
have now applied to the joint Commission
sitting in London for the adjudication of
claims for the indemnity which they could
not obtain by the aid of diplomacy. The
amount of demands $50 1000, with interest

Vicious CArrLE.-The common "vice"
of jumping and throwing fences is taught to
cattle, with scarcely an exception, by their
! owners and care takers. Fences half down
soon fall by the rubbing of cattle, and teach
the first lesson, especially ifcattle have any
shrewdness in observing cause and effect;
very ine feed just over a poor fence, is the
next lesson; letting down bars and fences
to the halves, from aziness, SO that the ani-
NAL has to leap, is the :hird lesson-anc this
last is often first, second and third with
sheep, until they will scale anything -
These three lessons are usually enough, but
fourth is often added, namely: placing
one additional rail, on the fence each sue
aessive day, as they become more skillfuI,
for the ostensble purpose of keeping the
animal within bonds, but really operating
as most ingenious contrivance to teach
the art of vaulting. We have heard OF
French being taught in six lessons; but very
few animals require more than the above
four to enable them to take "French leave"
of any ordinary enclosure.
