Tho Importation Of Foreign Paupsrs.

IT. any doubt has been entertained as
to the transportation Of paupers BY the
German Govern nents 10 America, they
will be dissipsted by the following or.
der, lately issued by the Government Of
Wurtemburg.
"Whereas it has been fepeatedly rep.
resented to US that German emigrants in
America, and among them emigrants
from WuriembeIg, who either on account
Of sickness or incapacity to labor desire
10 return to their native land, are for.
warded BY the German Emigration So.
ciety in New York and whereas il is
undesirable that those who have emigra.
ted, and particularly those who have
been sent 10 America at the expense Of
the State or Of communes, in case they
should not meet with success in America, },
whether it be owing to their own fault
or not, should return to their native
country to become burden upon the
State OF the communes, which in such
case would have entirely thrown away
the cost Of transporting them; and
whereas especially the American author.
tiles can scarcely feel authorized 10 send
back persons who have once been per.
mi,ted TO land, for no other cause than
mere lack Of success, and still less can
the German Emigration Society have
the right 10 demand the return Of such
persons; therefore all proper steps are 10
be taken to prevent the sending back ol
such individuals" r...
This is abusing hospitality little too
much. New York is 10 be made Bot.
any Bay for German paupsrs. and then
is not to be allowed to send them back
at her own expense. This will hardly
do.-New York Iribmme. ..

Blood in Her Eye-.stand from Under!

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Boston
Journal, writing from New York, tells
the following: .g. r.t
IAN incident transpired here last
week that has made some talk among
the parties who have had knowledge Of
the matter. A lady from the State OF
Maine came to this city last week on
her way to California. She has, as arms,
two revolvers and Bowie.knile. The
conductor purchased her a ticket in the
California steamer, and she left in the
vessel at noon. Her story is this: "A
short time since her husband obtained
possession Of all her property. convert.
ed all he could into gold, and then de.
serted his family, took a ship and started
for the land OF gold around Cape Horn.
"But this is not the worst; he took
with him a female not his wife. Iniur.
ed and maddened, the wife has started
after her recreant lord--not from love,
but from hate not to recover possession
Of her absconding husband, but to ad.
minister a deserved chastisement /; not
to take him back, but TO shoot him and
his companion. Wind, weather and
steamer permitting, the lady will reach
California some time in advance Of her
absconding mate. He will no doubt be
rather surprised to meet her ladyship on
the California landing, and, unless sea-
sickness shake the wrath ont Of her, the
meeting will not be one Of the mos,
coniugal that can be imagined"

that none we're neglected il in his power
