CANA Runaway SLAVE HOLD PRoPERrY?-4re
SLAVE Marriages Vatsd2 "A curious and interest
ing law case is now before the District Court for
the City and County of Philadelphia. A slave by
the name Of Robert Thompson ran away from Vir-
GINA about 1885 or 1886, and came to Philadel-
phia, where, in the course of a few years, he pur-
chased a lot of land, built a house. In the mean
time he had sent to Virginia for his wife, a free
woman Of color, by whom he had ten children.
Before her arrival, however, Thompson contracted
a marriage with a colored woman in Philadelphia.
The Virginia wife on arriving and finding how things
were, also married another man. Thompson and
his first wife both died, and the house and his pro-
perry were left in possession of the second wife.
Now, however, a daughter of the first, or Virginia
wife, has brought an action of ejectment, to recover
the property Of her father.
The first question raised by this action was:
Could a runaway slave hold property in Pennsyl-
vania !? The Court decided that he could, except
that the master might come and reclaim him and
take possession of his property. But until proved
a fugitive, and reclaimed, the colored man was to
be reputed and treated as a free man. The next
and more difficult question was: Wether the CO.
and reputation Of the parties in Virginia
a valid marriage, and made the plaintiff
in the case the legitimate child and heir of her
father? The Court was rather inclined to believe
the marriage valid, and the child legitimate in the
eve of the law. The jury brought in a verdict for
the plaintiff. The question whether, upon the whole
evidence, the plaintiff is entitled to recover, was
for the Court in Banc.

BEAUTIFUL ALLEGoRY.-Night kissed the Young
rose, and it bent softly to sleep. And stars shone
and pure dew drops hung upon its blushing bosom
and watched is pure siumbers. Morning came
with her dancing breezes and they whispered to
the young rose, and it awoke joyous and smiling.
Lightly it danced to and fro in all the loneliness Of
health and youthful innocence.
Then mi the ardent sun-god sweeping from
the east and he smote the young rose with his
golden shaft, and it tainted. Deserted and almost
nesrtbroken, it dropped to the dust in its lone
liness and despair.
NOW the gentle breeze, which had been gambol-
ing over the sea, pushing on the light bark, sweep
ing over hill and dale-by the neat cottage and
the stall brook-aanning the fevered brow Of dis.
ease, and tossing the curl Of innocent childhood
came tripping along on their errands of mercy and
love: and when she saw the young rose abe hast
ened to kiss il, and fondly bathed its forehead n
cool, refreshing showers and the Young rose 70.
.Hved, looked up and smiled, and flung out its
rudy arms as il in gratitude to embrace the breeze.
oat she hurried quickly away when her generous
sask was performed; yet not without reward, for
non she perceived that a delicious fragrance had
yen poured on her wings by the grateful rose, the
mad breeze was glad in heart and went away sing
ng through the trees.
Thus true charity like the breeze, which gathers
fragrance from humble flowers it refreshes. I'M
CONSCIOUSLY reaps = reward in the performance Of
Is oiaces Of kindness and love, which steals through
me heart like : rich perfume to bless and to cheer.

Why WE ARE FRIENDLY TO THE CzAR,-The {

WHY WE ARE FRIENDLY TO THE CzAR.-The
London Times accounts for American sympathy
with the Russian cause in the following manner:
Putting aside the old feeling towards England,
the positive sympathy for Russia rests only on some
supposed analogies between her position and their
own. Russia is a new country; she is a great one,
and will be a greater; she has an immense territory,
which she is peopllng, while population in West
ern Europe is stationary or actually decreases. She
has a decaving State on her Southern boundary, of
which she has taken much and wants more. A
few years ago the Americans seized a province of
their weak n%eighbor; an alliance of France and
England was projected, which, if carried out, would
have involved the Union in a long and dangerous
struggle. The Russians occupied a similarly situated
territory; the alliance was completed, is most power
full, and may last to interfere in the affairs of trans
Atlantic Turkey. We believe such ideas as these
Influence a large class of American politicians, but
they are obviously too imaginary to be the cause
Of more than pamphlets and orat,ons. Russia may
be sure that we have not a Poland at our side, nor
an earnest enemy in the great community we have
founded.
The Times might also have informed its readers
that Americans could not be expected to regard
with favor an alliance whose first fruits had been
interference in their concerns, and a direct threat
of enforcing the balance of power principle in the
Western hemisphere.
ALEXANDER THE CzAR.-The Emperor, who
has been making a journey to the South, via
Moscow, has issued, through the Governor of
that place, an address to the Russian people, in
which he says:
"The brave defenders of Sebastopol have
done everything possible for human power to
do. The former and present unfavorable
events. l accept as the inscrutable will of
Providence, which visits upon Russia heavy
hours of trial. But Russia's trials have been
much heavier, and God Almighty has always
sent her his benevolent and invisible help. Let
US therefore, also now trust in Him.. He will
defend Russia, the Orthodox, which has drawn
the sword for a just cause.-the cause of Chris
tendon. | am glad to see the i~ncessant proofs
of the readiness of everybody to sacrifice family,
property, and the last drop of blood, for the
integrity Of the Empire and the honour of the
country. l find comfort and strength in these
popular sentiments and aspirations, and with
my whole heart united with my brave and faith
full people, l shall repeat, confident of Gods
help and aid, the words of Alexander the First
Where there is truth there is also God"
remain your well-wisher,
ALEXANDER.

REGISTERED LETTERs.-The greatest farce O

REGISTERED LErTERs.-The greatest farce of
modern legislation is the late provision for the
registry Of valuable letters, by which rogues
are plainly advertised of what they may steal to
advantage, and the government is no more than
ever responsible for it's loss. This worse than
foolish and ridiculous enactment is receiving
the just rebuke and contempt which it deserves
from the press in all parts of the country, and
while re hold ourselves responsible for all
moneys matted to US in the ordinary way, we
will not be for registered letters, for there is
not only no advantage in the matter of their
safety, but a delay in their delivery, which
to the inconvenience not only of our
selves but also of our patrons, who receive their
orders at least one day later in consequence.
We copy the above from the Jersey City
Golden Age, and endorse it. A registered
letter from Richmond, which should have reach
ed US by this mornings mail, is missing, and
this in connexion with previous losses,
are compelled to notify our correspondents
that We will not hereafter be responsible for
registered letters. Money may be RENTED at
Dur risk, as heretofore, if mailed in the usual
way, without registering.

probable paety would be more general and natural.

A dependent spirit-"Give US this day our daily

A forgiving Spirit" And forgive US orr tres

A confidential and adoring Spirit-"For thine

THE LATE AMOS LAwRENcE.-He kept an &C.
count of every expenditure, and uuder date of
Janury 1st, 1852, his diary contains the follow
ing The .outgoes for all objects since Jan
ury /, 1842.. ten years. have been six hundred
and four thousand dollars, more than five
slxths of which have been applied in making
other people happy; and it is no trouble to
find objects for all l have to spare"
From 1929 to 1882, his charitable appropria-
tions amounted to one hundred and fourteen
thousand dollars. The aggregate amount of his
charities during the last eleven years of his
life was about five hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars, and it may be safely asserted
that he disbursed during his life seven hundred
thousand dollars for the benefit of his fellow
men.

THE Love OF A TRUE WoMAN.-Oh the price
less value of the love Of a true woman! Gold
cannot purchase a gem SO precious! Titles and
honors confer upon the heart no such serene
happiness. In our darkest moments, when dis
appointment and ingratitude with corrodling care
gather around, and eventhe gaunt form of pow
erty menaces with skeleton finger, it CLEANS
with an angels smile. Time cannot mark its
brilliancy, distance but strengthens its influence;
bolts and bars cannot limit its progress, it fol-
lows the prisoner into his dark cell and sweetens
the homey morsel that appeases his hunger,
and in the silence Of midnight it plays around
his heart and in his dreams he folds to his bos-
ON the form of her who loves on still, though
the world has turned coldly upon him. The
couch made by the hand Of a loved one, is soft
to the weary limbs of the sick sufferer and the
potion administered by the hand of a loved one,
loses half its bitterness. The pillow carefully
adjusted by her, brings repose to the fevered
brain, and her words Of encouragement ~revives
the sinking spirit. It would almost seem that
God, compassionating woman's frailty, had plan
ted this jewel in her breast, whose heaven like
should cast into forgetfulness mans
remembrance of the Fall, by building up in her
heart another Eden, where perennial flowers for
ever bloom. and crystal waters gush from exaus-
tess fountains.

Cleaning Straw Hats.

Straw hats-such as leghorns, ~tuscans, dun
stables, &c.-when they become soiled, are
cleaned as follows: They are first stepped for
half an hour in a tub of clean warm water. in
which there has been dissolved a little soda
ash. This softens the grease, which has been
given out to the hats from the hair, and pre-
pares them for the soaping. Each hat is then
placed on a smooth board over q tub, rubbed
with bar soap, and then scrubbed with a hard
hair brush until all the oil, grease, and dirt are
taken out. They are then rinsed in two tubs
full of warm water, and left to drip in a basket
for about ten minutes, after this they are
placed in q clean tub containing dissolved OK
alic acid, about l deg. in strength. They are
sunk in this liquor and left to steep for half an
hour, then taken out, and hung up to dry in
the air, or a moderately warm room. Before
being quite dry, they are removed and subject
ed to an atmosphere of sulphurous gas in a
close box. A few pieces Of roll birthstone are
placed on the top of some red hot Goals in an
iron pot, which is set on the bottom of the box,
and the lid is closed tightly down. They are
subjected to this gas for about six hours, then
taken out, sponged we'll with a strong solution
of white parchment size, hung up until they
become partially dry, and are then blocked and
pressed ready to be trimmed. When straw
comes in contact with an alkaline solution like
soda or soapsuds, it assumes a deep yellow col
or; the oxalic acid partially removes this, and
also any iron stains which may be on straw
hats. The sulphurous gas is called bleaching
the straw" but some straw hat cleaners never
submit their hats to this part of the process
and their hats look about as well as those who
pursue it. 1t is an offensive process; the gas
is exceedingly disagreeable, and if it can,be
dispensed with it is wisdom to do so. Som
use lemon juice as a substitute for oxalic acid,
but it is more expensive and not quite so efica-
cious. Some have used sour milk as a bleach
ing agent for straw, but it is scarcely possible
to wash it out, and it should therefore never be
used vinegar, if rendered ~colorless by being
passed through ground charcoal, is much bet
ter. The foregoing process for cleaning straw
hats is that pursued by some of the most ex-
perienced straw hat bleachers in our country.
Care must be taken to remove every particle Of
grease from each hat, before it is submitted to
the acid. Those straw hats which require al
tering in shape, have their fronts separated
from their crowns before being washed they
are much easier handled than entire hats. La
dies who use colored oil for the hair. soon
render their hats unfit to wear, as the oil is
generally colored with madden or alkanet root,
which stains the straw with a permanent color.
