AZ Quite a turning of the tables took
place recently on written complaint filed
before Messrs. Haldeman and Guthrie, u. $.
| Local Inspectors of Steamboats, at this port,
by two pilots named Robert Boss and Os-
burn Devinny, who charged Capt. Barter o.
the STEAMER Ben Cours'n with Il violation of
the law, in having navigated the boat with
passengers on board from Evansville H., to
this city without licensed pilut. The tes-
limory OF the captain, clerk and others show
ed, however, those pilots Aho entered the
complaint had actually been paid $3.50 10
take the boat from Cincinnati to lafayette
and 6dca: that OnC-half oi the sum had been
paid by Capt. Galatin for the trip TO Lafa-
yette, where the boat, previously ARA gcd,
was sold TO Capt. Barter, wh' paid them his
share, Sl25, 10 return. Before the boat had
got cut OF the Wabash river the captain in
formed the pilots that thoJgh they had been
paid for full trip TO Cincinnati, yet at
Evansville he expected another pilot to come
on board who had been accustomed TO run
with him, but when on reaching Evansville,
the expected pilot did not come, the pilots
thus previously paid would not continue the
trip without being paid the additional sum
CT 500.
The captain offered $50 which was not ac-
cepted, and rather than submit to an extor-
ton, ted the passengers on board that they
might remain on board f they chose he
would attempt TO bring up the boat himself,
the rive being high, which he did safely.
i In view of these facts the Inspectors, in
stead of Furnishing the ceptain made this re-
cord. ave find the pilots, Boss and Devin-
ny, guilty of misconduct in Withdrawing from
the boat and leaving the passengers thereon
without the safety and protection of licensed
pilots and do suspend their license for
thirty days each Csn. Cae.

TIE WAY THEY DO THINGS 1N CHINA
China is said to be a densely populated
country-so dense, indeed, that a portion Of
the population ar. compelled to live in boats
upon the rivers-but if this state OF things
remains much longer, it will be no fault of
the authorities, who according to the state
ments Of the ceres sponden: OF the N. Y. OBJ
server, take the following method to thin
them out:
"Last evening the Rev. Mr.. Bonney and

"But this afternoon we happened to pass

The Christian, after haylng fought many
hard battles, endured many trials, resisted ma
ny temptations, suffered from mary atiiic-
tions, and grieyed over many shortcomings,
feels approaching the hand Of disease, and be-
ing admonished thereby of his speedy disso-
luton, lifts his glad eye heavenward, while
his heart mel,s within him, as he exclams in
triumph--"Im almost hune!'

at moments notice! Are Thy affections o.

satisfied with the decision, the defendant ap
pesled 10 the County Court Judge W
man of great humor, strong common sense
little excitable, and one who, when arous.
ed,expressed his opinion or gave his decision
as he only could do it, caring Blu I little for
form or precedent. The case was called,aDd
after il | ad been argued by lawyers for about
two hours, Judge W grew uneasy and
fgetty, and finally interrupted the counsel by
the information that he was ready 10 give his
decision. After stating the points Of the
case, he refused to reverse the judgment OF
the court below, and added: "the plointiffsays
this is his only COW, and that he is poor
man. II he is poor man, OF course he has
great many children, ard he wants all the
milk he can get for his family. | look upon
1t as a great outrage, and no better than stes-
ling, to have taken this milk Tie plea Of
the defendant that the judgment should be re-
versed because the damages are excessive, is
humbug. The price Of common milk, such
as we buy for our tea and coffee, of these
milk pedlars, probably isn't worth over four
cents. It's as blue as a milestone. But
such milk as the defendant probably got in
this case, right fresh from the COW, and no
water near, was worth good deal more, par
ticularly if she was Durham"
Court-"How was that, plaintiff, was she a
Durham!''

Court-"Just as expected. Now, want

RELIGION AND BUSINESS.

1t has been mighty mischief that reii-
gion has 80 often been divorced from the 9TH
ei ways and modes OF men. Men have look
ed az II as something distinct and peculiar,
having its own sphere and its own powers,
and not as the fountain and father Of all eood-
ness and truth. The man Of God has been
seperatcd from the man o! science the man OF
literature, the man of politics, the man Of bu-
siness. The world has helped the separation
and SO has the church An ignorant piety,
a strong and shrewd impiety, have. done the
same work The general exercises of the
intellect, the common charities Of the heart,
the familiar proceedings of life, have been
too frequently regarded as provinces into
which religion has no right to penetrate, so
should only come when invited ,and be thark-
ful to be treated as guest, and not expect
to be honored as sovereign. Hence litera-
ture art, social life, worldly engagements,
have been treated as things apart from godli-
ness, and not as things which godiness is to
possess, and through which it is to act and
be seen. To borrow an expressive illustra-
tion, the partnership has been dissolved be-
tween religion and other business, and thss it
has ccme to disastrous bankruptcy. That
is so, is apparent from the fact that there is
general disposition to regard immora'ities
c;ed with money matters in different
light from other iumoraities. The same
standard is not applied, the same measure is
not meted out. There is more gentle treat
ment Of the pecuniary sinner, than any ether
sinner. 1t is only the way of business, COW

STINT INFLUENCE 1t is the bubbling
spring tina, flows gently, the little rivu|et
that glides through the meadows, and which
run along, ay and night, by the farm house,
that is useful, rather than the swollen flood,
or the waring cataract. Niagara excites our
wonder, and we stand amazel at the power
and greatness o: God, as he 'pours it from his
hollow haEd.' But one Niagara is enough
for the continent, or world, while the same
world requires thousands and tens Of thou
sands of silver fountains and gently. flowing
rivulets, that water every farm and meadow,
and every garden, and that shall flow on ev-
cry day and every night, with their gentle,
quiet, beauty. So with the acts of eur lives.
1t is not by great deeds like those of the mar
tyrs, that good is to be done; it is by the dali
" quiet virtues of-the Christian temper, the
meek forbearunce, the spirit of forgiveness,in

good is to Le done.-Rsv. Albert Barnes.

yaIue of Milk in Wisconsin.

The Milwaukee Sentinel gives an amusing
scene which came off not long since, in one
Of The County Courts of Wisconsin. 1t seems
that suit had been brought in an inferior
court by one man against another, for Paving
surreptitously milked his COW, taking from
her about four quarts OF the lacteal fluid. for
which he claimed damages in fifty dollars, -
The plaintiff proved his case, and the defend
ant in mitigation of damages also proved that
milk was worth but four cents per quartz
Notwithstanding this, hswever. the jury re-
turned verdict often dollars damages, with
costs, and judgmen was thus rel dered. Dis
