Know NoTHING.-W We noticed the arrest of
Mr.. Know Nothing ON the Day Police Book yes
terday. He is charged with disturbing the
peace and drawing d knife. When brought to
the Police office he was tolerably we'll intoxi-
Gated, and did, in reality, know very little,
He could not give his name, as he said he had
forgotten it since he had joined the Know
Nothings, but intended to write home and OBJ
tain it. He said that for the present they might
call him Know Nothing, as he was one, and did
not care for any body. He was accordingly
booked and will be tried to-day. A real, con-
fessed Know Nothing in the Police Office created
some excitement. [St. Louis Republican, 18th.

The New York Herald of the 10Th has the
following from its Washington correspondent:
ssWAsHINGToN, September Ia, 1854.-it is
whispered about the State. Department and in
the White House, that dispatches or letters have
been received from Mr.. Soule, our Minister at
Madrid, of an arrangement made with the new
Government of Spain for the purchase OF the
Island of Cuba They came, it is said, by the
Africa. There is no particular necessity for
my vouchipg for this statement. in these slip
perry diplomatic times. but my authority is
good-the very best-for the whisper at any
rate, there is no mistake about that. What is
more, it ssaid that England and France, and
especially the latter, favor the sale from sound
International policy. Strange as all TINS may
appear to those who will not believe in the pur-
chase of the Queen of the Antilles, have an
opinion--an individual opinion-that the pur-
chase has been made. But, at all events, nous
eerrons. Then | will send further particulars.

y NEW ANECDoTE OF OLIVER GROIN
wELL.-We find the following character
islic anecdote Of the Protector of the Com
monweal;h in an English paper.
Oliver Cromwell being afraid of capals
from the expelled family, thought it dan
gerous to permit persons, particularly no.
blemen, to leave the kingdom without leave.
A young nobleman in the interest Of
Charles IL. came to pay his respects to the
Protector, and solicit leave Of absence from
the country, Cromwell Immediately granted
the request but said:
"Wcll but let me see you soon again
and don't see Charles Stuart"
al will not, upon my homer" replied the
peer.
ing to pay his duty to the Protector, Crom-
well snatched his hat out of his hands, and
with penknife quickly cut open the lining
and from the inside took out several let
ters and papers directed to the friends Of
Charles.
20 shame!' cried Oliver, "is this the
way the English mobiles keep their honor
Did you not promised hot to see Charles
Stuart %
81 did not see him." answered the no
bleman.
Then said Cromwell, "who put our
the candle, you or Charles?"
Oliver bad cunnngly contrived to pu
a spy of his own into the peers service
who discovered that at the interview the
King first put ou; the lights.

Professor Stoddard, in lecture recent
ly delivered upon the hurricane in Knox
county, Illinois, says: "The trunk of one
of the trees blown down was about three
feet in diameter. Assuming, however, its
diameter to be but two and a,half feet, a
force of $4,000 pounds would be re.
quired to break it. The surface of the
tree expanded to the action of the wind
was about one thousand feet, which would
give pressure by the wind of one hun
dred and forty.seven pounds per square
foot, which is nearly one-fourth the initial
velocity of a cannon ball. Allowing the
height of the hurricane, or whirwind to
have been sixty feet, the whole force ex-
erted at one time along its track was five
thousand million pounds-a working power
equal 10 more than half the steam power
of the globe"
Quite an excitement was caused at Piqua,
says the Cincinnati Gazette, on the 9th
inst. by the hosting of a cross over the
American flag on the Catholic Church
The priest was Immediately advised Ia
take it down, and he complied with tho
advice. Had he refused the citizens would
probably have torn down the church.

"DELPnI," who is travelling through the
southern Atlantic States on business, writes
to The Wig Press, Middletown, N. Y.
from Charlo;tee, N. c., May 18th as FOL
lows:
"Whle at Winnsborough, n c., about
two o'clock on Sunday morning, was
awakened by the cry of suffering, and soon
learned the cause. Immediately under
meath my window, a negro was receiveihg
the lashes Of his master. He was stripped
entirely naked, and his master was tlog-
ging him with harness trace. The nigh:
watch had found him asleep in back yard
Of the hotel, and therefore concluded he
was there intending to commit burglary =
his master was called and the whipping
commenced to make him confess At no
time during the Inquisition was ever more
cruelty displayed; his feet were fastened to
the ground, and his body stretched over an
outside market stall, and the lash fell with
an unsparing hand. His back was literally
pounded to jelly, and at every stroke the
blood oozed out and trickled to the ground,
and his simple tale was, 'Massa, | wasn't
going to do anything For one hour and
half this inhuman treatment was contin-
ued, till the victims begged that they
would take gun and kill him, and tainted
from pure exhaustion; then it was discon-
linued, and in the morning l heard them
say he received 277 lashes. There were
some scenes connected with this punish
ment too revolving to write, much more tc
be believed therefore refrain from
writing moro upon the subject. Suffice i
to say, it remainded me forcibly of one o
the scenes in Uncle Toms Cabin, with LIE

A SAD STORY Of tainted blood-The
following extraordinary case occurred in
Mississippi under the Slave laws of tha,
State:
A planter was afflicted with loathesome
disease. So offensive were his ulcers that
he was deserted by his white friends; while
thus afflicted and forsaken, a girl, whom
be owned as slave, kindley and patiently
waited upon him, dressed his ulcers, cleans
ed his person, and watched over him until
he eventually recovered. With gratitude
and affection to his benefactor, he took her
to Cincinnati, in Ohio, executed to her a
deed of manumission, had it recorded, re.
turned to Mississippi, and there married
her in legal form They lived together
affectionately for many years, reared a
a family of children, and, as he lay upon
his death bed, by will he divided his prop
erfy between his wife and children. His
brothers hearing Of his death, came for
ward and demanded the property. The
widow and children we're indignant at the
demand. They, too, were seized, and the
validity of that marriage and will was tried
before Judge Sharkey, of that State, who
decided that the whole matter was fraud
upon the law ofslavery-that of the property
belonged to the collateral heirs. His wild
dow was sold by the surviving brothers, th,
children were bid off at public auction, anC
both mother and children now toll ir cha;u
or sleep in servile graves.
Such is the code the Douglases of tn,
North have allowed to rule Kansas anC
Nebraska.

Noble longngs for the strife,
By the roadside fell and pelished,
Weary with the march of life.
They the holy ones aud weakly,
Who the or oss of suffering bore,
Folded their pale hands so meekly,
Spoke with us on earth no more.
And with them the heing beauteous.
Who unto my youth was given,
More than all things else to love me,
And is now saint in eaven.
With a slow and noiseless foostep,
Comes the messenger divine,
Takes the vacant chair beside me,
Lays her gentle hand in mine.
And she sits and gazes at me,
With those deep and tender eyes,
Like the stars so still and saint-like,
Looking downward from the skies.
Uttered not, vet comprehended,
Is the spirits voiceless prayer,
Soft rebukes in blessings ended,
Breathing from her lips Of air.

THE CLERKS WIFE--A merchants clerk,
of the Rue Hantville recently married
His master had niece, of Spanish birth,
and an orphan. She is not pretty though
very sensible and well informed. At the
balls last winter little or no attention was
paid to her, indeed she seemed TO attend
them rather as a whim than from incline
alton or amusement, as she seldom ever
danced But if she did not dance, she
noticed much and listened to more. The
clerk soon observed that the lady was only
invited to dance when no other partner
could be obtained. She herself had already
noticed the same fact. Being a gallant
man he acted accordingly. The Incidents
that led to the denouement may be easily
OWNED. In six weeks after his first dance
with the fair Spaniard he obtained her
permission to ask her uncle for her hand
in,marriage. He, astonished, gave his clerks
proposal very cool reception and then
had long interview with his nice. Finaly,
however all was arranged and the lovers
were married on Tuesday. The Thursday
after, at breakfast, Adline said to her hus-
band who exhibited considerable chargin
at being compelled to return to the duties
of his Office thus early in the honeymoon,
"Very well-don't go there-no more -
"My love. it is very easy to say so but"
easy to say and easy to do-both l
have a million and half. Nobody knows
of it but my uncle. l always made point
of getting it myself because I wish to
choose really disinterested husband,
There need be no more Office work for you
if you do not wish it, yet still my advice is
husband, that you neglect nothing"
