q Thrilling Incident.

Returning from visit in New Orleans
we were fortunate enough to secure passage
in line steamer, with hut few passengers.
Among the ladies one especially interested
us. She was the widow Of wealthy plan
ter, and was returning with one only child
to her fathers house. Her devotion to the
child was very touching. and the eyes of her
old black nurse woul fill with tears as size
besought her mistress not to love that boy
too much. or ihe Lord would take him
away from her.
We passed through the canal Of Louis
vile, aud stopped for II few moments at the
wharf, when the nurse. wishing 10 see the
city, walked out on the guard, at the back
of the boat, where, by II sudden cifor; the
child sprang from her arms into the ,errib"
current that sweeps towards the falls, and
disappeared immediately. The confusion
which enSucd attracted he attention of n
gentleman who was sitting in the fore part
Of the boat qnietty reading. Rising has
tiIv, he H. krl for some article the child had
worn. The nurse handed him Tiny apron
she had torn off in her efforts 10 retain the
babe in her arms. Turning TO II splendid
Newfoundland dog that was eagerly watch
ing his countcpace, he pointed first TO the
apron, and then to the spot where The child
had gone under. In an instant The noble
dog lcaped into the rushing water, and also
disappeared. BY this time the excitement
WAS intense, and some persons on shore.
suppo<ing that the dog was lost as well as
the child, they procured a boat and stated
off to lch for the body. Just at this time
the dog was seen far away with s"mehing
in his mouth. B!avely lie struggled with
the waves, but it was evident his strength
was falling fast, and more than one bIea>t
gave a sigh Of relief as the boat reached
him. and i, was announced that he had the
child. and that it was still alive. They we've
brought on board the dog and the child.
Giving single glance to sati>fay herself
that the child was really living. the young
mother rushed forward. and sinking beside
the dog, threw her arms around his neck
and burst into tears. Not many could view
the sight unmoved, and rs she caressed and
kissed his shaggy head, she looked up to
his owner and said

SEVEN CHILDREN AT A BIRrH.-Wheu

occular demonstration Of "quintupIe aili-
ance" in the shape of mother with FIVE
children, all born on the same occasion, we
made up our minds that ne plus ultra in

WAS not our province to affix boundaries to
the operations of nature, not to say. of pro-
gresSive life,
"Around how wide. how deep extend below"
we concluded. very phiosophcally, to be-
Iieve it possible, barely possible, that sir

As if TO put our firm resolution to a test it

Mexican dates to the 26ih ultimo. On the
20th ultimo a Mexican woman Of the capi-
tai WAS delivered Of SeVen male children at
one birth. Both mother and seven children
we're, when the schooner left, progressing "a

Now the best or tho worst of it is, the
story comes well authenticated. We have

The Duel-A Seasonable Ballad.
BY THOMAS HOOD.

In the Brentford town, of old renown,
There lived n Mr.. Bray,
Who fell in love with Lucy Bell, sr.
And SO did Mr.. Clay.
Said Mr.. Bray to Mr.. Clay,
You choose to rival me,
And court Miss Bell, but there your court
No thoroughfare shall be-"
"Unless YOU now give up your suit
You may repent your love; ...-
Iwho have shot pigeon match,
Can shoot turtle dove" ...
$50 pray before you WOO her more,
Consider what you do;
Fyou pop aught to- Lucy Bell
I'll pop it into you"
Said Mr.. Clay TO Mr.. Bray, ...
"Your threats quite explode;
One who has been volunteer
Knows how 10 prime and load"
And so say to you, unless
Your passion quite keeps,
who have shot, and hit bulls ewes,
May chance to hit a sleeps"
Now gold is oft for silver changed;
And that for copper red
But these two went away, to give
Each other change for lead.
Bot first they sought friend piece.
This pleasant thought to give
When they were dead that they should have
Two seconds still to live.
To measure out the ground, not long -,
The seconds then forebore,
And having taken one rash step,
They took dozen more.
They next prepared each pistolpan
Against the deadly strife, ..rr.
by putting in the prime of death
Against the prime Of life.
Now all was ready for the foes,
But when they took their stands,
Fear made them tremble so, they found
They both were shaking hands.
Said Mr.. C. to Mr.. B.,
Here one of us may fall,
And like ST. Pau's Cathedral now,
BE doomed TO have ball.
II do confess did attach
Misconduct to your name;
If / withdraw the charge, will then
Your ramrod do the samel"
Said Mr.. r." do agree
But think Of Honors Court
If we 60 off without shoot,
There will be strange reports.
But look, the morning now is bright,
Though cloudy it begun
Whv can't we aim above rs IL
We had called out the sun.
So harmless up.into the air,
Their bullets they did send; ...
And may all other duels have
That up.shot in the end. -s q = fgs-.

'.As to politics, Messrs. Times, we have some-

that we feel no interest, nor that we take not
deep interest in political matters generally, that
we are silent. Nor is it because we consider any
participation in politics smeddling IN dirty pools.
BY no means. We hold that man recreant to his

The Pioneer has assured its readers that Kan
sas is to comeiinto the Union as Free State
We hope ourneighbor will not be disappointed.
But while he s'holds the word of promise to the
ear" we should like to see the facts and reason
iugs on which the conclusion is based. We care
not what the Herald Of Freedom, the New York
Tribune or tho Cleveland Plaindealer may have
said in regard to it. We would like to know what
facts there are, either in the acts of Congress OF
of the so-called Legislature of Kansas, to inspire
the conviction that she is to apply for admission
into the Union with a Constitution forJidding
Slavery. If we understand matters, the Legisla-
tive body extemporized by Missourians, is re-
garded BY the Administration and the judiciary
as the Legislature of the Territory de tacto ct de
jure. This body has made resistance to its Acts
punishable with death, and Gov. Geary has sanc-
toned the infamy by signing the bill! The old
Test Acts are not repealed, and by them nearly
all the Free State men are disfranchissd. These
Acts are in full force in Kansas, although Gen.
Cass called them 'sdisgrace to the age.''
A convention is to be called to frame and adopt
Constitution for the future State of Kansas.-
Those who are in the Territory on or before the
first dsy'o April next, whether residents or not,
will be permitted to vote if they are so fortunate
as to got their names on the list to be made out
BY officers appointed by the Legislature, and then

stitution to be framed is not to be submitted to
