The Emperor of Hayti caused,
through an agent, an advertisement
to be inserted in a New York paper
inquring for the whereabouts of a color
ed man whose name was given, setting
forth that he would hear something to
his advantage on making himself
known. The person has been found,
and proves to be very intelligent
man and capital barber 10 Bridgeport
where he has been for some years
doing good business. He appears to
be- second cousin ofthe Emperor who
wishes the barber to reside in Hayti,
and accept Dukedom, or some other

much Of Yankee that be doubts
whether he shall accept the offer.
Nevertheless he intends to make .

@We would make more frequent
reference to Beal, if we did not feel
that it is unnecessary to appeal to
the public, to call and see Beal. Beal
stands on the left hand side of Church

Look in and be satisfied that the
Wholesale and Retail establishment
on Chu1ch street, contains every thing
necessary for beast or man. The
warm weather has nothing to do with
groceries. Let the Thermometer 20

let hogs lard melt, and cows milk turn
to aoey before the roasting sun Of noon

vises resorted to, to prevent their run
ming away; for the fire Of eloquence
depends more upon these things after
all, than the inspiration Of the gods :
which poets speak Of. The honesty
and morality Of man, rests more upon
the wheat crop, and the weather, than
it does upon the abstract principles Of
speculative philosophy. Feed a man
well, and clothe him we'll and give him

thirst, and if he does not walk up
rightly then; nature intended him to

Element Of the Valley is this. The
Mexican Government contends that
the Valley was settled by people from
Dona Ana-that Dona Ana belongs
to tht Republic Of Mexico. and 50
does its people, and the right Of Mexi.
co to the Valley was never called in
question. Mexico acquired it from
Spain, and Spain stole it from the
chihuahua Indians. Now the ques-
ton is, whether the people living in
the Valley went there under the i'm
preston that the Territory belonged
to the United States, or whether they
went there thinking Enormously Of
course, on this side of the line) that
the place belonged to Mexico? The
question Is pretty equally divided, and
now it remains to be seen how tie
matter stands. The newspapers have
been trying to settle the dispute for the
last twelve months, and we verify
believe, that like all other questions ;
i. gets more intricate, the more it is
discussed.

90 The plague does not simply
slay its victims and depopulate coun-
tries it eats away the moral energies
as well, and often quite destroys them ;
thus, as | have shown in my last pub
lie lecture, before, the sudden and
complete degeneracy of the Roman
world, from the time of Marcus Anto-
NOUS onward, may be referred to the
Oriental plague which then entered
Europe for the first time just as. six
hundred years earlier, the plague,
which was, strictly speaking, yellow
fever; comedies too exactly with the
termination of the ideal period of an.
tiquity, not to be as cause Of it. In
such epidemics the best individuals
die, and the rest degenerate morally

"Barnum is an original character,
one that Shakspear would have delight

bug; others openly proclaim him such;
an incident has fallen under our knowl-
edge that may throw some light upon
the matter. Last week Dutchman
went to one of our police courts and
preferred a complaint against the pro-
prietor of the museum; he paid a
quarter % see the Bearded Lady, and
he did no believe she was a bearded
Lady at all. Barnum was brought up;
he came in great rage with the whisk-
cred fair one, and all her relations
great and small. He proved her to
be both bearded and lady, to the
satisfaction of the court. fiercply ami.

and triumphantly leaving the hall Of
