THE KING OF PRUSSIA NON-SUIrsD rs
A ST. LOUIS COURT.-Some time since his
Majesty, Frederick William w., King Of
Prussia, brought his action in the Circuit
Court Of St. Louis, against Felix Coste.
administrator of Frederick William Kup-
per, claiming 400 thalers. moneys al
legged to have been embezzled by the de-
ceased from the post-oficc of the King,
which moneys belonged to the various
subjects Of the King, and were, after the
embezzlement, reimbursed by the King
to the parties who were sufferers BY the
embezzlement Of Kupper.
The petition Of the King alleged that
he is an absolute monarch of the kingdom
of Prussia, and as King thereof is the
sole government of that country: that he
is unrestrained by any constitution or
law, and that his will, expressed in due
form, is the only law Of that country,
and is the only legal power there known
to exist as law: that by the law of Prus-
sia any money, or its equivalent, sent
through the Post Department of Prus-
sia, if lost or stolen, is to be refunded to
the owner by the King. KuPper, it ap-
pears, was postmaster in Prussia, and
absconded with the money committed to
his care in lS49. lie came to St. Louis,
and died the same year, when Ccste be-
came bis administrator. The case was
ably argued.
The court held that the petition did not
show any cause of action at common law;
that the payment of the money to the
true owners, by the King, did not at COM
mon law authorize tie King to recover it
of the defendant; and that this court had
no jurisdiction over the questions as to
the extent of the powers of the King Of
Prussia in his sovereign capacity; to cre-
ate a legal liability against a party by
the exercise Of his will in any form; or
as to the power of the King, as o sover-
eign, to decree; that Kupper was liable
to pay him as sovereign, that while the
King could sue in this court in his cor
porate capacity waving bis sovereignty,
for the recovery of any demand recog-
niZed by our laws, yet in case like the
present, the action is based upon the
powers of the King as a sovereign Of
foreign State, he must prosecute the
claim before the tribunal having the sole
jurisdiction Of such questions, and State
court cannot take cognizance of them.
The judgment was rendered for the
defendant.

Loss OF WIFE" The death of on
old mans wife" says Lamartine. "is
like cutting down an ancient oak that has
long shaded the family mansion. Hence
forth the glare Of the world, with It's
care and yiciSsitudss, falls heavily upon
the widower's heart, and there is moth
ing to break their force, or Shield him
from the full weight ofmisfortune. 1t is
as if his right hand was withered, is if
one wing of an eagle was broken, and
every movement that he made brought
him to the ground. His eyes are dim
and CLASSY, and when the film of death
falls over him, he misses those accus-
toned tones which might have smoothed
his passage to the grave"

CHAPTER III.

| CHAPTER Ill.
l. Now it came to pass On the evening
of the fifth day Of the week known in
those days as Thursday that the fatted
calf wos killed, and a great feast was pre-
pared, unto which the Chief Priests oil
Sam" were invited.
2. And they partook freely, without
money and without price.
| 3. But from all others who psrtook
thereof, there was demanded ten pieces oi
silver, lawful currency of the realm.
| /. But the 4" Greeks" and the 4" Sour.
Krouts" would not contribute a dime
no.. not single redl
5. Now, at this feast, prepared by
Thomas the Ethiop, presided Robert, as
sisted by Benjamin, charles, Joseph and
John.
6. And the viands prepared by Thomas
vanished rapidly and the wines, brandy,
whisky and gin-the spirit offering of
Jacob. whose surname is Snider, did dis.
appear-mOst mysteriously.
I. And Straightway Robert waxed ex-
ceedingly eloquent-delivered himself o
speech, and departed.
8. Then followed Kenneth, James,
Elihu, and Judson, who declaimed most
vehemently.
9. And the {" faithful" did clap their
hands and cry aloud, "Sam" is great,
and Judson is his prophet!
10. But the speech Of JudSon pleased
not the Greeks and Sour Krouts, I"
and they did hisS-slightly.
IL. Now this did vex Sam" sorely :;
but the Unterrifed" needed him not,
and did continue to annoy him.
II. Now when Samuel" found that
he was again encompassed round about
by the Philistines, he Immediately de-
parted from their presence.
Ii. And straightwsy his disciples i'm
itated the example of their master for
their heads did ache and their knees
trembled violently.
IA. Finally, my brethren, whether
Know NOthings, Greeks, or Sour-Krouts,
be ye circumspect in ali things. Remem-
Der that the way of the Politician is
hard, his labors great, and his emolu-
ments small: therefore, eschew politics
and cleave unto piety, thus making your
burdens lighter and your chances Of sal
Vatlon MQre certain. Selah!
