Among cargo of slaves from Africa
lately landed near Havana, was the eldest
son of one of the African princes. 1t seems
that he had been sent by his father to the fac
tory to deliver the slaves, and while there was
induced to visit the schooner. The captain
sent him below to keep company with his
fathers captives. Fortunately he could talk
French and Portuguese, and made known his
history. He was sent to the deposit of the
Emancipadoes, where, according to Spanish
law, he must be put to service for eight years
before he can be free to return to his home in
Africa.

CHoLERA-We find in the Carlisle eng
land) Journal of Friday, October 9th, the fol-
lowing extract from circular recently issued
by the General Board of Health of England,
tosthe local boards in different parts of the
kingdom:
"Cholera has again become epidemic in
several of the Baltic ports and at Hamburg.
On each of the three former occasions when
the disease has visited England, its first APP
pearance in our Eastern seaports followed
closely on its outbreak in Hamburg. During
the past three months there has been observed
in London, and in some other parts of Eng
land, very unusual fatality from dialrhea,
and this arrangement of the public health is
such as, on the previous occasions referred
to, preceded the commencement of the cpl
demic periods of cholera. The General Board
of Health deemed it expedient to call the at
tention of local boards of health to these facts,
and most earnestly recommends that the
power vested in such boards for the pro-
lection of the public health be exercised from
the present time with redoubled vigor and es-
pecial vigilance
The same paper also states that the reports
of deaths in London for some weeks past show
from fifteen to twenty deaths per week from
cholera.

son, and after pouring forth a torrent Of profani-
ty and abusive epithets. struck the teacher Sc

adds to the enormity of the offence, is the fact
that the teacher received the abuse without a
word of reply, and having lost a part of his
hand, was disabled from defending himself. MIR.

IDLE CAPITAL. Hartford Times relates
a remarkable case of the careful preservation
of bank bills which came to light in Middle
town, about two weeks since. Mr.. John
Cone, who resides near Haddam, appeared at
the counter of the Middletown Bank with
one thousand dollars of its bills, and asked
for the specie, which was promptly given to
him. These bills were paid to him in 1895,
and they were returned in the same packages
and with the same strips of paper and marks
that were upon them when paid out. Mr.. G.
had kept them twenty two years, OF course
without interest. Had he placed the money
in some good Savings Bank when il was first
paid to him, he would now be entitled TO
nearly three thousand instead Of one thou.

MENTAL CoNoENTRATIoN.-The blindtold
chess playing of Mr.. Paulsen OF lowe, as re-
corded in the New York papers, exhibits one
of the most remarkable intellectual feats
which we have known in modern times. Here
is young man, only twenty four years of
age, who, blindfolded, plays contemporaries
ously five games of chess with 1--WE strong ad.
versares, conquers four, and comes out in a
draw game with the fifth. At any stage of
the playing, he is able to describe exactly the
position OF all the pieces on all the boards
What concentration of thought, what skill in
combination, what distinctness and amplitude
of memory, does such feat eyince. 1t would
seem that such man is fitted for the highest
achievements in any professional or scientific
pursuit. But we know from observation that
such a conclusion does not necessarily follow.
The genius in one department may be but or
binary, or even below ordinary, in every 9TH
er. In fact, it is rarer to find man of a
good combination of all mental powers, than
1t is to find brilliant instances of separate
faculties. We are at liberty, however, to en-
terrain the hope that Mr.. Pausen has other
excellencies besides his skill in chess playing

there is no truth in the rumor. If the rumor be
true, Judge Lynch would be the proper person to
