Another Question For Diplomacy.

Conrad Schmidt formerly a subiec, of
Hanover, but recently citizen of the
United States, was recently arrested at
Bremen, by requisition from the Gov.
ernment OF Hanover, for military service
due that Government.
Mr.. King, the United States Con. ul
at Bremen' protested against Schmidrs
arrest he being a citizen Of the United
States, and having a passport from the
Government to whica he had transferred
his allegiance. TIE cou,se of Mr.. King
was sustained by the American Minister
at Berlin, to whom the matter was re.
ferrcd by the Consul, and the uncondi
tional surrender oi Schmidt was deman.
del. This case, in connection with the
case Of Kos,a, will form the basis of
settling the public law, on the princ.

Settling an Estate in Person.

DR.. Sappington, a wealthy gcnlIcm ain
OF Saline county, M'f, recently called
10 his family mansion, his two sons,
three sons.in.law, AMI two grand sons,
10 divide his property among them.
With the utmost harmony, they fixed
upon the value Of the lands, about 5000
acres and large number Of negroes.
The valuation being made, by the
same consent, each took such part as
best suitel his purpose, at the price
named. The personal property, consis.
ting Of stocks of mules, horses, &c.
were put up at auction, and the proc ecds
Of the sale divided in like manner. Thus
the whole estate, except so much as the
doctor reserved for himself, was disposed
Of, TO the entire satisfaction ofthe donor
and recipients, leaving no cause for dis.
pute or litigation hereafter. The Doc.
tor reserved for his own use, twenty thou.
sand dollars in cash, ten or twelve
thousand Of which he intends properly
TO invest as pertinent fund for the edu.
cation of poor children in the county Of
Saline.

Great Invention.

Mr.. Archibald Shrum, of Putnam, in
our country. has invented Water Guage
for steam boilers, which we have reason
to believe will soon become in general
use from the i'm ncnse value it will prove,
by the safety Of life from explosions. |,
is simple and cheap in construction,
being two floats at each end Of the boil.
er(inside) connected together by rods
running through the same. projecting
through the end of the boiler. To these
rolls are attached guase dial so ar.
ranged by needles which raise or fall, by
the motion Of the floats in the boiler on
its face as to show exactly the quaint.
ty Of water in the boiler or either enI.
For the purpose above it is certain ,es,
and as most Of the explosions and con.
sequent loss Of lite is from the want of
sufficient water in the boiler; it must
prove of great value to the country, 1t
may also prove Of much value for the
purpose Of loading vessels even. and
other purposes.
We have seen this guage tested, on
the boilers Of Messrs. CRANE & JONES
in Dresden, who speak in the highest
terms Of the invention and would not do
withou, the use of it for any price.
We are informed that Mr.. Shrum has
applied 70, a patent which he will
no doubt have granted. We wish him
the greatest uccess.-Aurora.

How to Make Money Fast and
Honestly.

Enter into a business Of which you
have perfect knowledge. In your own
right, or by the aid Of friends on long
time, have cash capital sufficient to do,
at least, a cash business. Never venture
on credit business on commenc cement.
Buy all your goods or materials for cash;
you can take every advantage Of the
market, and pick and choose where you
will. Be careful not TO overstock your.
self. Rise and fall with the market, on
short stocks. Always stick to those
whom you prove to be strictly just in
their transactions, and shrn all others,
even at temporary disadvantage. New.
er take advantage OF a customers ignor.
ance, nor eqnivocate, nor misre represent.
Have but one price and small profit,
and you will find all the most profitable
cash ones--or they will
find you.
If ever deceived in business transac.
tions, never attempt to save yourself by
putting the deception upon others; but
submit to the loss, AMI be more cauti.

Women SmugglerS,

The smuggling Of game and such tax.
able articles into Paris under the petit.
coats OF women, has become so frequent,
that female has been attached to the
Bureaux of several Of the barriers, in
order that they may search under the
garments of suspected individuals. Late.
ly, a woman with launches, saws the
Patrie, like the Hottentot venus, pre-.
sented herself at one Of the gates. The
agents. who are always jealous of stou,
people, requested the lady with the phe.
nomcnal contour to stop. She refused
and pushed by. One of the Custom
House employers seized her, and com.
menced pressing his fingers on various
parts of her hody, as If he we're feeling
to see whether she was ripe; and she
screamed and fought, and in her struy.
giles partridge fell from under her skirts
to the ground. Her contrabsnd wares
were probably strung like dried apples,
and the escape Of the partridge loosened
the whole. Down came quail, and then
snlpe, and then another quail and
woodcock,t till the woman, whose enbon.
point had visibly diminished, was thrust
into the office, where the female attach.

thorough investigation. When all was
over, the victim was found to be very
spare person. not weighing over ninety
hve pounds, and was consequently sent
to the prefecture Of police.

The Worker to the Dreamer.

BY LILA NJ. LAIRD.
Fling away thy idle fancics,
They are palSying lear. and brain,-
Bleak the pleasant dreamy letters
OF romancc's shining chain.
Come out from the misty kingdom
Thou has lingered there too long.
Come out grted as for battle,
Armor true, and spirit strong.
Sit no longer by the waters
Hardening 10 their mlm lrs sweet
Up! while yet the morning Slineth-
Go thou forth with earnest feet.
Cast away thy idle dreamings;
Work with ardor, willing, brave,
For, oh dreamer! life is action;
And TO act, duty grave.
Sterp and rugged is the mountain,
Yet the faithful toi'ers saw.
When they gain its pleasant summit,
"Blessed was o,lr weary way"
So TO thee, when thou hast ba'tled
Bravely. noblv. for The right
Will thy labor, though burden,
Seem burden strangely light.
Truth and error wage warfare,
Constant in this world of ours:
We have need Of champions fearless
Come from Drtam'nnds rosy bowers,
Cast away thy idle fancies;
They will cumbcr thee in life,
BE henceforth warrior mighty
Earnest in glorious strife.

81 should like to do that, every day,

quickly in irreprcssible pleasure.

And yet, pair of dark. sal eyes were

countenancc, with an expression, hal
he observed it would, a, least, have excl.

this pair Of eyes was a slender, rather
poorly dressed lad, in his thirteenth
year, whom Mr.. Everett had engag ged,
short time previously, to attend in his
Office and run upon erfands. He was
the son Of widowed mother, now in
greatly reduced circumstances. His
father had been an earl Y friend Of Mr..
Everett. 1t was this fact which lei 10
the boys intro .uction into the brokers'
office.
"Two thousand dollars" The broker
hai uttered aoul his satisfaction; bu,
now he communel with himself silently,
"Two thousand dollars! A nice little
sum that for single lays work. won.
der what Nj. Jenkins will say tomorrow
morning, when he hears Of such an al.
vance in these securties?"
From some cause, this mental refer
ence to Mr.. Jenkins did not increase
our friends state Of exhilaration. Most
probably, there was something in the
transaction, by which he had gained 10
handsome sum Of money. that in calm
