A SILVER CHAMBER.-The Sultan Of Turkey is
building silver chamber, the furniture and ap-
purtenances of the boudoir to be composed en-
tirey of solid silver The round table in the
midst is of admirable workmanship, the surface
is of polished silver engraved in rich arabesques,
the legs of twisted pattern, highly FURNISHED
The sofas, the chairs, and the piano are all of
the same precious metal. The boudoir is to be
hung with cloth of gold, looped with silver cord.
1t seems that the Sultan has destined this unique
specimen OF oriental recklessness OF expense to
be his favorite retreat in the garden of the Sc
raglio, whence every ray of daylight is always
TO be excluded and where he intends to retire
for the repose and solitude he cannot enjoy in
the palace.

SINGULAR FAor.-Macauly, in his history Of
England, states the significant fact that no large
society of which the language is not Teutonic
(Gothic) has ever turned Protestant; and that
wherever language derived from ancient Rome
is spoken, the religion of modern Rome to this
day prevails.

one ofthe fashionable hotels, to pass

Their happiness was the cause Of

doctor was sent for in great haste,
to relieve The lady of a dose Of laud-
anum which threatened to termin-

The Cincinnati Slave Case.

H.. H. Robinson, the United States
Marshal, was arraigned en- Wednes-
day before the probate court ofHam-
ilton county, Ohio, for contempt OF
court in delivering the slaves in the
Gaines case. to the owner, instead of
obeying the order Of Judge Burgoyne
to bring them before the probate
court upon writ Of habeas corpus
The Marshal answered that the slaves
were delivered TO the owners in COM
pliance with an order Of the United
States District Court, Of which he
is an officer. Judge Burgoyne fined
him $500 and ordered him TO be
committed until he obeys the order
Of the court. The Marshal applied
TO Judge Leavitt, United States Dis
triet Judge, to liberate him from a
habeas corpus. After an argument
Of the case, the Judge postponed his
decision and Robinson was remand
ed to Jail.
This is the manner in which the
officers OF the federal government
are treated for executing the laws Of
Congress and whose only offence is
that they have done their sworn du.
ty! If some means cannot be de-
vised by which the officers Of the
government can be protected from
the mob violence and unlawful pun
ishment heaped upon them by the
negro-thieving officials of the aboli-
tion States, it will be impossible be-

petent men to I'll the Offices of the
