The de cendants of those pinks of Andalusian

British Lion. His teeth and claws had not been
properly prepared-they were too sharp. They
had been known to bite, and it was not safe TO
trust them. What next? We shall see!
The Captain General, having been informed
of the trifing circumstance above noticed, got
very much excited; but the Coasul was COOL
very cool He inquired if the Captain General
intended to stop the mails. The Captain
General did not answer directly, but said that
the English and American newspapers had
abused him and the government of the island
very much indeed, and he had stopped their cir
culation. The Consul replid that that was an
affair in which he could have no possible in
terest; but were the mails to be stopped? II So
he should keep them, and deliver the letters
himself Perhaps the government might have
right to stop the newspapers; but the Consul
had been informed that many letters had not

| treated with more respect hereafter. As may
be imagined, the Captain General was slightly
astonisbed, and n ore than astonished, at this
proceeding. He was afraid of the British Lion
and he pacifed him by promising that the Bri

carefully attended to, and the present mai

respect. We trust that Judge Campbell has
already taken some steps in the matter. Our
mail to Cuba is very large and very important.

A CONNECTICUT COUNTY FAIR-BARNUM's
PRFMuMs.-We clip the following from the
New Haven Couyier:-
p. I. Burnum offers a list of premiums to he com
petcd for at the fair of the Fairfield County Agrcul
tuIa Society at Stamford, on the 9Th It'll and Sth
Of October by ladies under twentyone years of age.
There are seven premiums for horseback riding,
ranging from S25 to gold pencil, open to unmarried
ladies under twenty one, from all parts Of the States
three premiums for butter, three tor cheese, three
for bread five for daring, and four for shirt making
which 10 be competed for by the young ladies Of
Fairfield county only. No fee will be required from
any person competing for any of the Barnum premi-
ums. Young ladies intending to compete at horse
back riding will please send their to John II.
Sherwood, Secretary Fairfield County Agricultural
Society, by or before the 10th Of September.
These premiums are very good as far as they
60. Barnum is an enterprising man, and is
doing some good in his day and generation.
But he might have extended his catalogue by
a premium each for the best Joyce Heth, the
best negro turning white, the best wooden leg
Of Santa Anna, the best Fejee mermaid, the
best Greenland whale, the best woolly horse,
and the best petrifed group in plaster of Paris.
We hope that these additions will be made.
They would probably result in the collection Of
lot Of curiosities never before equalled by
Yankee ingenuity. Tire Barnum!

ANOTHER PECULIAR INSTITUTION

At a recent Womans rights gathering at
Roches ter, N. Y, Rev. SamI May declared
with emphasis, that it was a great mistake to
| suppose that there were only three millions
| and half of slaves in the Uuited States
There were at least thirteen miIions,-for he
looked upon the condition of woman in this
country as bnt one remove from the condition
of slavery. In order to understand the horrors
of slavery 1t seems to be only necessary to look
at the oppressed and enslaved mothers, wives
and sisters Of all American citizens. The
South will now probably enjoy their peculiar
institution without moestation, as the abolition
lists have found an institution about as peculiar
at the North. The underground railroad will
soon be applied to a new purpose, and venerable
grandmothers and fair maidens will be posting
off to escape their oppressors. The strong
minded women, terrible as an army with ban.
ners, will seize upon the Arsenal, and we shall
be in the midst Of civil war The women IT
Boston are already in the neid-or at least in
the Police Court. Within few days three
women have been fined in Boston for floggng
their husbands In the last case, Amelia Chase,
valiant, virtuous and strong minded female
had assaulted her husband in the street, upset
his basket, kicked him in the stomach, threw a
half peck and two quart measure at his head
and finally drove him to such state of desper-
a.ion tina, he had serious thoughts of making
away with himself, and in fact, it is said, once
attempted it. A crisis has evidently arrived
What a consoling thing it will be for those en-.
amored youths who have protested that they
were slaves TO the fair object Of their love. to
find that it was all delusion. And what COM

that they really and truly among the " lords
