THE MINIATURE.
BIZ GEORGE P. MORRIS.

William was holding in his hand
The likeness of his wife,
Fresh as if touched by magic wand
With beauty, grace and life.
He almost thought it spoke-he gazed
Upon the bauble still
Absorbed, delighted and amazed,
He vieW'd the artists skill
This picture is yourself, dear Jane
IT'S drawn to nature true
I've kiss'd it Ger and Ger again,
1t is so much ike your
I" And has il hss'd you back, my dear ?''-
Why-no-my lOve!" said he,-
"Then William, it is very clear,
IT'S not at al Ike me-"

WHAT THE ENGLISH THINK OF OUR ACQUISITION OF
CUBA.-Hon. JOHN G. DoDsoN Esq, candidate for
Parliament for East Sussex England, recently de-
Hvered lecture to the English people of Brighton,
on the subject Of Cuba embracing the result Of his
residence in that island. Among other things, he
said:
eff Cuba were annexed to the United States, its
trade would be more developed in five OF six
years under the influence Of American activity, than
in ten times as many Of Spanish torpor and msrule.
in pOlitico-economical point Of view, the world,
and England especially, would be gamers
But however much England, land the same
applies though in a less degree, to France and
other great powers might gain in wealth, she would
lose far in respect of position and prestige The
possession Of Cuba would add enormously to the in
huence and the strength Of the United States, and
would hasten the day which already seems fast
approaching, when they viii become the first power
in the world. Yet it scarcely under any circum-
stances will be worth Englands while to plunge into
war with the American Republic, solely to endeavor
to prevent 1t from adding Cuba to its dominions
Even succeslul in the immediate object Of the war
she would nict as great injury on herself as on her
rival In the natural course Of things, America
must become sooner or later far greater empire
than the mother country. The Americans have all
the qualities that have made US what we are, with
hundred and fifty times our national resources,
and their spirit Of enterprise is accordingly quicken
ed and stimulated The most desirable event for
England would be such peaceabe dissolution Of
the Union as should leave two or more prosperous
and Independent powers capable Of holding the
balance TO each other. Such a dissolution would
probably be rather promoted by the addition Of Cuba
90 the republic; such dissolution would probably be
retarded by the attempt ofany foreign State to bring
II about That a separation viii some day take
place, many thinking Americans believe; the time,
however, Of 1t, is perhaps more remote than the
people in Europe are willing to imagine.

HORRIBLE DIsCLoLsUREs.-The Charlotte m Cl
Democrat, of the 18th inst says: eve learn that
great excitement has prevailed in the neighboriDg
village Of Concord during The past week. caused by
the discovery that severalchldren, who died recent
" had been disinterred and their bodies removed.
A quack doctor, known by the name of Nugent,
applied to a man to assist him in taking up a child
that had been buried few days before The man
made the request known, and intimated that two
little girls, daughters Of very respectable gentle
man residing in the vicinity had been removed from
their graves by this Nugent for the purpose Of
extracting medicinal properties from their flesh and
bones. To ascertain the truth Of the rUmor, the
father had the graves Te-Opened, and found the
cofins and bodies missing. OF course, this created
a deep sensation, and we are informed that it was
determined to inhict summary punishment upon
Nugent but visiting his house he was found very
sick and in dying condition One report says that
he took poison after learning that his operations
we're known to the public and another, that he
died from a disease contracted from frequent hand
ling Of decOmpOsed bodies.
Nugent died on Wednesday last. He made q
statement before death, to the effect that he had
humed about sixteen dead bodies in Concord and
elsewhere, and after using them flor making medi-
cinel he burned the flesh, collins, and everything,
to prevent detection. His ash-pile was examined,
end teeth and bones found therein.
His theory appears to have been that a medicine
could be made by boiling the liver Of human being,
that would cure liver complaint and with regard
to other diseases.

body was not hers, and that Jenkins was of course.
innocent Of numbering her, for which he had been
arrested The most remarkable features of this
case are noticed by the Newburg Negs as follows !:
s'The resemblance was indeed extraordinary
The body had upon the left eyebrow precisely
where Sarah Bloom has one the body had a cut
on the main finger of the left hand precisely where
Sarah has one of the same character; the body had
a small black mole about half way, between the
ankle and the knee, on the shine-bone, exactly
where Sarah has one; but srangest of ALL the body
has two toes on the left foot grown together pre-
cisely like Sarah's, except that Sarah's are not
grown together so far down the joint the toes Of
both feet of her body, like Sarahs were pressed to.
