Bon Nor OF TIE DEvIL.-A wretch
ed miser in Salamancus being on his
eath.bed, his internal majesty dis
patched his messenger Moloch to con-
yey his soul to the shades to meet its
due reward, as soon as it should leave
its mortal frame. Moloch, however,
returned shortly after, and informed
his majesty, that he had found the bed
of the miser SO encompasscd with
trustees and executors, (tor tho miscr
was willing all his wealth to charitable
purposes) that he could not get near it.

OF Cuba by the United States, the Liv-

"Wc see only natural move

England being history of annexa-

From Washington.

The special correspondent of the
New York Herald, telegraphing TO-
that paper, says:
Mr.. Belmont, the Austrian Con-
sui of your city, is candidate for
the Chargeship at Naples, and is
backed by many Of the leading men
throughout the Union, but the indica-
tons arc that the office is destined for
Governor Seymour, of Connecticut.
General Shields has been a candi-
date for the Office of Minister to
Spain, which he desired on account of
his health, but it is understood that
Senator Soule will receive the appoint
ment. Gen. Shields will probably get
some other foreign appointment.
Mr.. Marshall, of California, has a
good chance of being appointed Com
missioner to China.
Ex-Sccrerary Buchanan, for Eng.
land, and Hon. John Dix, for France,
are still spoken of.
Thomas N. Carr, formerly Consul at
Iangier, is candidate for that con-
sulate.
To-day, in reply to gentleman who
asked him how lie liked the air of
Washington, Gen. Pierce said, 81
don't know, for have not had the op-
tunity of getting a breath of fresh
air; have not even time to shave"
which was evident by looking at the
Presidents face.
At the cabinet councils hold on Sat
urday evening and to-day, the Mos
quito affair was anSiously discussed.
cannot furnish you with the details, but
| have reason to believe there will be
no want of pluck. General Pierce
has declared that his administration
will, at all events, be an effective one.
The government received telegraphic
message on Saturday from New Or
leans in reference to this affair.

81 A FIRST NIGnT AT SEA.-To one
snnaccustomcd to such scenes, this is Il
very striking time on ship board
Afterwards, and when it's novelty had
long worn of, it never ceased to have
"a peculiar interest and charm for me-.
The gloom through which the great
black mass holds its direct and certain
course; the rushing water, plainly
heard, but dimly seen; the broad,
white, glistening track, that follows in
the vessels wake; the men on the look
out forward, who would be scarcely
visible against the dark sky, but for
their bloting out some score of glisten-
ing stars; the helmsman at the wheel,
with the Illuminated card before him,
shining speck of light amidst the
darkness, like something scnticnt, and
3of Divine intelligence; the melancholy
signing of the wind through block, and
rope, and chain; the cleaning forth of
light from every crevicc, nook, and
tiny piece of glass about the decks, as
though the ship were filled with fire i'll
hiding,ready to burst through any out
let, wild with it's rcsistlcss power Of
death and ruin. At first, too, and even
when the hour, and all the objects it
exalts, have come to be familiar, it is
difficult, alone and thoughtful, to hold
them to theirproper shapes and forms.
They change with tho wandering fancy,
assume the scmblance of things left
far away, but on the we'll remembered
aspect of fayorite places dearly loved,
situst Cd with iitfh shadows
Streets, houses, rooms, figures SO like
their usual occupants that they have
startled me by their reality, which far
exceeded, as it seemed to me, all pow
yer ofmine to conjure up the absent,
have many and many q time, at such
an hour, grown suddenly out of objects
with whose real look, and use, and
purpose was us we'll acquainted as
with my own two hands. Dickens.
