A Shrewd Editor.

At 4 Welsh celebration in New York,
DR.. Jones told the following amusing anec-
dote:
The speaker said that editors were like
other shrewd men, who had to live with
their eyes and ears open. He related a
story Of an editor who started paper in
new village at the West. The town was
infested by gamblers, whose presence was
. source Of annoyance to the citizens, and
who told the editor that if he did not come
out against them they would not patronize
his paper; he replied that he would give
them a "smasher," next day. Sure enough
his next issue contained the promised
+" smasher;" and, on the following morn.
ing, the redoubtable editor, with scissors
in hand, was seated in his sanctum cut
ting out news, when in walked large
man with club in hand, who demanded
to know if the editor was in. No, Sir"
was the reply, he has stepped out take
a seat and read the papers, he will return
in a minute" Down sat the Indignant
man Of cards, crossed his legs with his
club between them, and commenced read
ing paper. In the meantime, the editor
quietly vamosed down stairs, and at the
landing below he met an other excited
man with cudgel in his hand, who asked
him if the editor was in. "Yes, sir,"
was the prompt response, "you will find
him seated up stairs reading a newspaper"
The latter on entering the room with a
furious oath, commenced violent assault
on the former, which was resisted with
equal ferocity. The fight continued until
they had both rolled to the foot Of the
stairs and pounded each other to their
hearts content.

Large Sugar Estate.
In the Southern Christian Advocate we
find an interesting letter from an Ameri.
can at Cuba, from which we extract the
following. The writer was CUES. At the
sugar estate known as "'rhe flower of Gu
ba," and says:
"This estate contains FIVE thousand acres
Of productive lands. We rode for hours
through immense fields Of sugar-cane,
twelve to eighteen feet high. These fields
are divided by beautiful avenues of royal
palm and mango trees. Many ofthe trees
are sixty to eigty feet high, in the distance
looking like white marble columns. They
commence cutting the cane in December,
and the top is used for cattle. In Louisi.
ana the cane has to be renewed annually
here, once in ten or fifteen years. II
is hauled in carts drawn by oxen to the
sugar-mill, which is usually located in the
center Of the farm.
formerly the grinding was done by OK
power, but recently the American engine
has been introduced. The buildings and
machinery on this estate cost three hum
dred thousand dollars. They work eight
hundred hands, and about eight thousand
oxen, for Eve months in the year. The
mill runs night and day-Sunday aud Mon
day. Three hundred acres are planted
in vegetables, fruit, &C., for the negroes

A SINGULAR D1scovERY.-A cores.
pondent in Virginia writes us that, while
some hands, employed by Mr.. William
kearns, were digging out cellar in Boti.
tourt County, Va, about miles from
Buchanan, they como upon ! quantity Of
coin, consisting Of some eight pieces in IN
iron box about fourteen inches SQUARE
Tho coin was larger than dollar andthe
inscription in a language wholly unknown
to any person in the vicinity. Upon dig
ging down some sixteen inches lower,
they came to a quantity Of iron imple-
ments Of singular and heretofore unseen

examined into the matter, and had come
to the conclusion that the coins, together
with the various other curiosities must
have been placed there At an extremely
early date and before the settlement Of

assistance, and after desperate struggle,
succeeded in extinguishing the flames, but
not until she had breathed their deadly
