In their remarks upon the Ward trial some of

J.Crittenden would volunteer to defend the son of
Journal says, this reminded him OF the following
incident connected with that gentleman, whilst
acting as Governor of Kentucky:
\ poor man had been fined for some msdemean
or by the verdict of jury in the Hickman Circuit
Court. To have the amount coerced from him
would have beggarl his wife and children. Major
Robert D.Bowmar, then resident attorney in
Hickman county, addressed the Governor in be-
half of the fellow and appealing to the friendship
that for years La existed between crittenden and
himself, besought him to remit the fine. In due
course of mail the answer came, and here it is:
"Bob-the conviction of your client proper
and cannot as Governor protect him. But
enclose { You the money necessary to pay the
fine, on account of your representations of the
condition ofhis wife and children. Please see to
its proper application"

ARAB GALLANrRY.-A Frcnehman, while re-
siding in one of the oriental cities, was once W.T.
tering some flowers in window and accidentally
filled the pots too profusely, SO that quantity of
water happened to fall upon an Arab, who was
below hasking in the sun. The man started up
shook his clothes, and thus gave vent to his feel
ings respecting the offender-'Ifit is am old man
who has done this, despise him; if it is an old
woman. forgive her. is young man. curse
him; but if it is a young woman, thank her.
The young Fsenehman, who had managed to
keep oot of sight, laughed heartily on hearing
the maledcton that fell to his share for his care
lessness. In the Arabs graduation, the reader
will not fail to be struck by his tone oil gal!antry,
a qualification for which the true believes" are
not remarkably notorious.

THAT'S A FAcr.-If you want to
learn the value of dollar. 90 and
labor in the burning sun two DAYS, as
a bod carrier. This is an excellent
idea; and if many of our young gen
tlemen had to earn their dollars in that
way. how much less dissipation and
crime we would witnes every day. So
Of our fashionable young ladies', if
they, like some Of the poor seamstress
of our large cities, had to earn their
dollars BY making shirts at ten cents
a piece, how much less fnery would
be seen about them, how much more
truthful notions would they have Of
the duties Of life, and their obligations

Loss Of the Steamer Gypsy {!

: AT 4 o'clock on Thursday morning,
the New Orleans and Baton Rouge
Packet Gypsy, on her way up, took
fire near Capt. Minors plantation, 10
the Parish of Ascension, and in less
than Is minutes the boat was solid
sheet Of flames. We get our account
of the calamity from a gentleman of
this city, who was on board the Gypsy
at the time.
So rapid was tho spread of the
flames, that five or six lives were lost
in the confusion that followed. The
boat had just backed out from the
landing when the fire originated, and
she was floating in the stream, all who
were saved got ashore in the yawl.-
No part Of the cargo--not even the
books and papers of the boat could be
secured. Our informant states that
the officers Of the Gypsy deserve great
praise for their manly endeavors to
save The lives of passengers on board
and Capt Tom IRE, commander of
the boat, deserves particular notice for
his efforts; also Capt Minor, at whose
plantation the accident occurred, who
turned out his full plantation force to
render assistance. Thus it is. Capt.
URE. has been a successful steamboat
captain in this trade for number of
years, and now in the full tide of his
prosperity, he meets this heavy blow
to his fortunes.
The loss by uninsured freight in
this city, cannot be much short of
$4,000; the following is a list of los
SEES as far as we can learn
7. B. O'Conor, $1,000, part insur.

Marrow ESCAPE OF THE PORE
The Pope went on the Odd October to
the Abbey Of Trefoutaine to visit the
different places which had become
celebrated by the old tradition of the
church, and to offer up prayers at its
three sanctuaries. On his return ne
had narrow escape. The horse of
the second carriage, in which were
several prelates. took fright and dash
ed OFT at a furious rate. The coach
man was thrown from his scat and
taken to neighboring hospital serious
" injured. The four horses of the
Pope's carriage became alarmed, and
it was with great difficulty they could
be kept in.

Interesting TO those engaged IN Nat
rinsoniat Matters. -The recent decis-
ion of the Z. S. Attorney General
which declares that U s. Consuls at
foreign ports have no right to cele-
brate marriages : renders null and
void all marriages celebrated by them
heretofore. This il the law and
thousands of unions thus formed, are
rendered illegal, aud hence as a natu-
raj sequence, all the issue of such I'M
ions, are made illegitimate. A
strange thing il this human invention,
called law" and very intricate indeed
are some of its ram'fcations. II leads
IL to enquire what is the institution
OF marriage as proclaimed by the
cdicts Of the Supreme Lawgiverl r
i not mutual and voluntary com
pact. made holy by sincerity on one
part. and witness On the other part
1t Is, aud SO palpable is the evidence
to common sense, that it needs no ar.
gument. When, from union thus
formed, domestic happiness is not the
result, then The same great law divides
the firm, and no mere human inven
tion, can bind them together One
branch Of Christianity proclaims all
marriages not celebrated BY a priest,
null; and the same, requires pledge
that the offspring shall be raised, to
acknowledge the supreme autocracy
Of the Pope; whilst others, are alike
absurd IN their requirements, each
proclaiming that unless their minister
celebrate the marriage, the obligation
is not binding. Common sense revolts
at this. The marriage union, is a
compact as sacred, as any other, when
entered into before two competent wit
nesses, and common law based upon
common sense proclaims it so.
