A DILEsMA.-The bred Scott decision
causes confusion and absurdity in every de-
partment of the government that comes in
connection with colored residents of this
country. A law OF Congress requires that
all American vessels bound on foreign
voyage shall have a crew whereof two thirds
are citizens of the United States. Under
this law the custom houses have hitherto
granted projections to colored men who
constitute large and essential class OF
sailors these projections certified that the
bearer had produced proof that he was
citizen of the United States. Since the
absurd Dred Scott decision the projections
issued at the New York custom house have
the word native instead of clti.en. But
this does not meet the requirements of the
Jaw, and vessel having one more than one
third OF its force composed of these anoma-
lous nativesis exposed to the penalties of

A ROBINSON CRUsoE CANAL CAPTAIN
somewhat novel craft came down the canal
on Saturday afternoon and tied up at the
dock Ii was a scOw built boat about
fifteen feet long and three feet wide, but
the novelty consisted in the peculiar motive

was accompanied but by one mana cripple
from iniancy-havng no use of his limbs
below his knees. lie manages to hobble
about slowly by walking upon his knees
upon which he wore something similar to
shoes. lie is from Chicago, and says he is

They tow his boat along at tine rate Of four
miles an hour-he from the boat giving the
directions. When they meet a boat they
lay down close and let the tow line pass
over them and thus take the inside. He
has a wagon on board for overland journeys.
His boat, an open one, with canvass cover
ing, supported on posts, is converted into a
saloon which he and his dogs, together with
a tame raccoon, use for parlor, dining room,
and bed room, all together on terms of
equality and good will. He carries four
loaded pistols to protect his dogs from at
tack. After procuring stock of provis-
ions for himself and companions, he anchor
ed his boat little way from the shore and
attracted the attention and excited the GU
riosity of passers by who crowded around
to solve the mystery. This happy family
