nary case occurred in Mississippi under the
slave law of that State:
A planter was afflicted with a ! oathsomc
disease. So offensive were the ulcers thaI
he was deserted by his white friends; and
while thus afflicted and forsaken, a girl,
whom he owned asa slave, kindly and pa,
tiently waited upon him, dressed his ulcers,
cleansed his person, and watched over him
until he eventually recovered. With graf
itude and affection to his benefactor, he
took her to Cincinnati, Ohio executed to
her adeel of m~anumission, had it recorded,
returned to Mississippi, and there married
her in legal form. They lived together af-
~fectionately for many years, reared a fam
lily Of children, and as he lay upon his death
bed, by will he divided his property be-
tween his wife and children. His brothers
hearing Of his death, came forward and
demanded the property. The widow and
children were indignant at the Demand
They, too, were seized: and the validity Of
that marriage wastried before Judge Shark
ey, of that State, who decided that the
whole matter was = fraud upon the law Of
slavery-that the property belonged 10 the
collateral heirs, His widow was sold by
the surviving brothers, the children were
bid of at public auction, and both mother
and children now toll in chains or sleep in
ServI0graves.

Mr.. EDrToR:-Will you permit a tax
payer to make the enquiry, through the
columns of your paper, whether it is true,
as rumored upon the street, that the city
Council propose to proceed in the cree
ton of the City Water Works upon the
estimated cost as furnished by their En-
gineer, without submitting the question to
the voters of this city, whether they would
authorize a Loan beyond the $4,000 al
ready, voted upon? 1t has been rumored,
upon the street, that the very specific and
we'll understood resolutions passed upon
that subject. by the citizens and tax pay
crs o fthe city, in public meeting assem-
bled, have been strangely forgotten, or are
intended to be strangely disregarded. Per-
haps the very eloquent speech ola certain
legal gentleman, as a lobby Of the House,
has obliterated this historical fact from the
minds of our city legislators information
upon these important points is very much
desired by every TAX PAYER.

PAPER FROM WooD.-We recently an.
nounced that the Philadelphia Ledger was
being printed on paper made principally
fromstraw ,undera patient which proposed
to make it from any fbrous vegetable sub
stance. The Ledger of Wednesday says:
1--WE are now writing upon foolscap pa
per of a very fair quality, made from mood,
at Lee, Massachusetts, by Palmer & Smith.
These experiments in paper making are
made necessary by the scarcity and high
price of cotton and linncn rags, which have
advanced so much that newspapers can
scarcely afford to be published at their for
mer rates, the cost of paper being SO heavy.
If wood, straw and other 6brous substan.
ces, of a cheaper price, can be made to sup.
ply the deficiency of rags, every branch Of
the printing business will be relieved of an
onerous expense, and some Of our farmers
will receive handsome prices for that which
now is, comparatively speaking, of but lit
tie value to Them"

The INsuRREcrrNN IN SPAN.-The Ma
tional hteHigenesr doubts the correctness
Of the despatch, said to have come from
Buchanan, and stating the insurrec-
.%tionists in Spain were everywheretriumph-
ant.
Its now supposed in some quarters
that the Instruction was started by the in
uence Of Russian gold, operating through
the Duke de Montpensier. 1t is wellkuowr
that this gentleman has considerable iniu'
ence at the Spanish Court, and it is tho
that a strong sympathy exists between the
Qneen and the leaders of the revolution
The latter say they hate the Ministry, bu'
love the Queen; and in return she says she
hates her Ministers, and will forgive hel
revoluted subjects.
The Russian influence if it is really true
that the Gar is at the bottom ofthe affair
is exerted for the purpose of destroying
the French influence at Madrid; and should
the revolution prove successful, Spain vii
be used as a means of attack upon the
French Empire, dethroning Napoleon ant
plaCl0g u DOuTUOH dt bHc Htdu Ol dudlTS
The Gar entertains the opinion that, a:
Russia destroyed the power of of the FRS
Napoleon, there will be no difficulty in
serving the Third one a similar trick. .
It is limited in this connection that the
Revolutionists, contrary to expectation are
not very much inclined to part with Cuba
and that Mr.. Soule is now using efforts t.
induce the present Government to dispose
of that Istand, thinking that. he will havO
better success than if he awaits the fate o
the revolution. Money is wanted, and
large sum, it is supposed, will induce thu
Ministry to transfer Cuba to the United
States. All these reports, however, arr
mere speculations, and need confirmation
Asin every other pol teal movement il
Spain, there arc hidden springs at worl
which will not be discovered until its OBJ
ject is clearly developed, and tits certain
that there are influences at work in add
ton to the deep feeling which has beer
created against the Queen by her deep de
pravity.

DISEASE IN WAR.-It is no pretty well
known that the soldier is more likely to die
in the hospital than in battle. Three A.
mcricans died by disease in Mexico to one
who fell in battle. When the Russians in
vaded Turkey in 1898, they lost $4,000
men by sickness alone, from want of nee
e~ssaries Of life, and neglected in the COM
misariat department. $4,000 Russians
died on the plains of Turkey, not one of
whom died in battle, for their advance was
not resisted by the Turks. In the next
year, 1929, the Russians lost so, 900 men
between the river Pruth and the city of
A%drianople. Some of these, however, were
slain in battle. When they arrived at Adri-
the troops were in SO. wretched a
condition, from sickness and want Of food,
that not 1000 were able to bear arms.
