THE Hone KONG PIRATE.-Tho cores
pondent of the London Times, writing on the
8th of July, thus describes Boggs the Ameri-
can pirate
An American, named Eli Boggs, was tried
at Hong Kong on Wednesday last for piracy
and murder. His name would do for vii
lain of the Blackboard class, but in form and
feature he was the hero of sentimental no.
vel; as he stood on the deck, bravely bat
Ting for his life, it seemed impossible that
that handsome boy could be the pirate
whose name had been for three years con-
nected with the boldest acts of piracy. 1t
was a face of feminine beauty. Not down
upon the upper lip, large lustrous eyes, a
mouth. the smile of which might WOO coy
maiden, afiluent black hair not carelessly
parted, hands so small and SO delicately
white that they would create q sensation in
Belgravia was the Hong Kong pirate,
Eli Boggs. The defence was, Of course, false
1t had been proved that he had boarded Il
junk, and destroyed by cannon, pistol and
sword, fifteen men, and having forced all the
rest overheard, he had fired Mt one OF the
victims who had clutched rope and held on
astern. No witness, however, could say
that he saw a man die from blow or shot
struck or fred by the pirate. The jury,
moved by his youth and courage, and strain
ing hard their conscences, acquitted him
of the murder, but found him guilty of pira-
cy. lie was sentenced to be transported
for life.

The Louvre.

The Emperor of France has completed
a monument to himself which will not soon
be effaced. The letter en- with which
he has adorned the facade of the new por-
ton of that magnificent structure which he
has formed out of the Louvre and the pal
ace of the Tuilleries may be easily remov-
ed, but the long galleries, the payillions,
de-, viii stand as edifces of his reign, and
of his energy in causing to be completed,
in the short space of FIVE years, the most
extensive and splendid palace in Europe
Louis Napoleon has accomplished what SO
many monarchs have attempted. His un-
Gle always intended to build the connection.
and before him many others. Louis XIV.
did more towards the Louvre than anybody.
He resolved to complete the building and
the grand gallery along the Seine, and with
his own royal hand wrote letter to Berni-
nj, an Italian architect, whose plans had
met with general admiration, inviting him
to Paris to superintend the work. And
come he did, and IN state too The honors
paid 70 him fell little short of those offered
to royalty itself. In every town IN France
through which be passed he was, by order
of the king, received with great honors,
and presents were made to him. Persons
meals on the road; and as he approached
Paris, the lord of Chameleon, grand stew
ard of the royal household, went out to re-
ceive him. His plans were of course adopt
ed, and on the ] 7th of October, 1865, the
king himself laid the first stone of the fa-
cade with great splendor. A gold medal
of the value of 9, ,40Of. was enclosed in the
stone. When. the building reached above
the ground, Bernini obtained leave to re-
turn home, mot wishing to pass the winter
in so cold place as Paris" The day pre-
vious to his departure the King sent him
present of 5000 louis dor, warrant for a
pension of 10000 liEres, and another for
/ 300 for his son. In spite of all this, the
original design of the physician, Perrault,
who had submitted his plans at the same
time as Bernini, for the facade, was partial
ly adopted. The front towards the Seine
was erected after his designs, and that fa-
cling the Rue du Cog was also partly built
by Perrault. Under the first empire the
Louvre was considerably repaired and en-
bellished, and under the Restoration
much was done towards its completion
But in disconnected state the Louvre and
the Tuilleries have remained so many years,
forming, with the gallery towards the Seine,
three sides of an immense parallelogram.
By carrying out line of building uniform
with this gallery from the opposite extrem-
itv of the Tuilleries to the other side of the
Louvre, along the Rue Rivol and the Place
du Carrousel. Napoleon III has finished
the edifce The architecture of the mod
ern part has been sneered at, but the whole
building is not surpassed in the world for
grandeur, beauty, and everything which
goes to make up ''frozen music" --.

Horseback Riding.

n. P. Willis, in one of his "Invalid Let
ters,' thus speaks of the therapeutic vir-
tues of horseback riding:
1t was secret which I did not discover
by books; that exercise, with the legs of a
horse to do the work, distributes the blood's
fullness and freshness to the extremities;
but that exercise with your own legs to do
the work, draws the fullness and freshness
of the extremities to the center. Life and
strength, that is to say, are centrifugal, if
you exercise on horseback-centripeta if
you exercise on foot. To test this, you
have only to do the two things. But look
in the glass when you return from ride
in the saddle, and you viii see that the
hollows under your eyes are filed out and
freshened in color, and that the incipient
lines in your face, (for l presume I am
addressing middle-aged, charming woman
have disappeared wholly, or become indis-
tinct. Then look in the glass on your return
from walk, of equal exercise, and you
see just the contrary-your eyes sunken
and the lines of your face deepened with
the fatigue. Or still more demonstratively
compare the fresh colored fullness of your
hands and fingers ends, after the one exer-
else, with thier dragged and depleted spare
ness after the other.
a recognition of the same fact may be
seen in the advice given by medical books
to literary men, or men whose brains are
overworked by prolonged attention of any
kind. "Avoid walking as an exercise. -
And the reason given is ''that the concen-
trated exertion at the hips and loins of the
pedestrian pull directly upon the forces OF
the spine which sustain the brain.' And
it is natures rallying law-or calling in Of
recruiting power ftom the extremitiss, to
supply the demand upon the center of the
system, which equally robs the brain, the
face, and the hands of their proportionate
supply of fullness. Your beauty, madam,
merely pays its recruiting tax with the rest.

The proceedings of this meeting were
published IN the South Western Democrat.
Versailles is twenty miles from Coal
Camp, and is the county seat of Morgan
county.
The country here begins to be more bro
ken, the swells are higher and the creeks
deeper, though nothing >worthy of serious
consideration occurs up to this point.
Nopublic meeting was held here. and no
delegates were appointed Though after
this county has discharged her obligation to
the Pacific Road to which she stands pledged.
assurance was given that this road would
meet with the support from that county
which its importance demands. Timber
now becomes abundant, and the prairie Is
diminishing in quantity.
Jefferson City is forty miles from Ver-
saiiles, and is the proposed terminus OF the
road. And here the enterprise met with an
approval amounting almost to enthusiasm.
The Land Company-the Pacific Railroad
Cempany-the editors whom T saw, and Tie
citizens, all gave it a hearty welcome to THEN
city.
A meeting of the citizens was called, a
large and important gathering of the people
convened in the street. The subject was
laid before them.
Gen. Price, and members of the land COM
pany, and director of the Pacific Road ad-
dressed the meeting in telling speech, filed
with sound argument and incontroyertible
fact and evidence, and called upon the citi-
zens of Cole county to use their best endea-
vors to secure the termination of road so
important to their interests, and which
would open to them the vast resources OF
southwestern Missouri and the rich fields OF
southern Kanzas.
The country from Versailles to Jefferson
City is, for this country, rough and hiily,
and the route for the most part is covered
with timber.
Thus, gentlemen, the entire route has
been passed over, from Emporia to Jefferson
City, and through the intermediate towns
as originally directed.
Your committee has the pleasure to an
nounce that he has had the concurrence OF
all the accompanying delegates and survey
ors, of whom he would mention the names of
Dr. Smith, of Ottumwa, Ella, of Hampden,
Army, of Hyatt, Vandyke, of Butler, Gates,
of Johnstown, and Sweeney, of Clinton, and
is of the opinion that for importance of coun-
try, directness of route, facility of construc-
ton, it is not SURPASSED, if fully equalled,
by any route of equal extent in the country.
The whole distance is 936 miles and the
highest estimate that has been made per mile
is $4,000. All of which is respectfully
submitted. JOHN o. WATTLEs, Com.

of Mr. Frazer, of Chillicothe, liabilities
$500, ,OOO) his hands, numbering about two
hundred, armed with all sorts of warlike
implements, held possession of the entire
establishment during four days after the
failure, refusing to admit officer or private
inside the high board fence which surrounds
the premises On the fourth day the civil
authorities, finding it impossible to gain adj
mission to the building without bloodshed,
paid each hand his wages. Mr.. Frazer did
very commendable act in telling his work
men to keep forcible possession until they
were paid.

by him at the plantation of Mr.. w. J. Eve,
of Augusta, as the result of his first exper-
iment with the juice of the Chinese Sugar
Cane. This result is the more interesting
from the fact, that scientific gentlemen in
Boston have expressed the opinion, that
this plant contains no cane sugar, but grape
or fruit sugar only. DR.. Lees knowledge
of Chemistry has enabled him to correct
this error, and demonstrate that the Chi
nese Cane is nearly as rich in erystalizable
sugar as that of the best Louisiana cane"
