First # ApriA.,If any of our readers are de-
day of April, or "All Fools Day." they can find
it in the 4th chapter and 7th verse of Habakkuk
-Richm0nd Wig.
Desiring to ascertain the origin of All Fools
Day, upon reading the above, we proceeded to
examine ancient copy of Holy Writ. We
might as well have examined the almanac for
the year eighteen hundred The eth verse, 4th
chapter of the book of the prophet Habakkuk,
says nothing about 'a!l fools day." because
there is no 18th chapter, to convey the desired
Information. The book only contains three
chapters, and we are April fools. The Hieh-
mona Wig. doubtless, considers that pretty
good joke. May he tits, but we can't appre-
ciatc it.

Another Ami-Filibuster Proclamation.

Instead OF hanging or imprisoning General

and brought back as pirate by the gallant

tesv bv Gen Cass and the Admins tration, aud

cbarping his duty Walker again went South,
made harangues, was received with honor by
State Legislatures, and went through the sham
of Il trial at New Orleans for breach of the neu-
trsIitv laws He has since been openly matur-
inc his plans for another descent on Nicaragua
His movements have been public as the press,
and have been winkel at if not approved and
counseled by the leading supporters of the Ad
ministratiou in Washington and the Southern
States and cities to New Orleans. After the
former illegal expedition, Walker was let loose
bv the Administration to do exactly what he
has been engaged in and is now, and the Proc
Iamation of the President, high-sounding as it
is. means nothing ard will amount to nothing,
unless some naval officer commits the mistake

Mr. 5 q MATTHEWS has just completed q
great work for the citizens of Cuyahoga Coun-
ty He has put every part and parcel Of the
County on beautifully finished Map of large
size, which does great credit to his industry and
faithful topography The Map is the result OF
three years incessant labor; the whole County,
its City, Villages, and Townships, being map
ped from actual surveys The location and
lines of the Townships, of every mans farm,
the name of the owner, site of his buildings;
the Rli, State, County, Township and Neigh
borhood Roads. their curves and their crossings;
and the Rivers and Streams with their wind
ings, are correctly laid down and plainly de-
ineated The City of Cleveland is given on
scale SO large as to be worth the price of the
Map of the County, and is accompanied by a
Business Directory of City Subscribers. The
numerous Villages in CuyahOgl are also given
on an enlarged scale in the margin of the Map,
and section of the Geology of the County, by
Col. CHARLES WmTTLEsEY, has place among
them. In short, nothing has been omitted,
and no labor and expense have been spared 10
make the work everything promised subscri-
bers. 1t is elegantly engraved, printed, color
ed, vanished, and mounted, and in all respects
establishes the reputation of Mr.. MATHEWS
as one of the best of photographers.
The price of the Map is but $500, and Mr.
NJ. has commenced the delivery of the work to
subscribers in the Townships.

Death OF John E. Taylor, ESQ.

This gentleman died at the American in this
city on Saturday last of consumption-a dis
ease with which he had battled for q number of
years. Mr.. Taylor was well known to our bu-
siness men as of the late firm of John E. Tay-
lor d Co., lumber dealers, and occupied that po-
sition his integrity, his prOmptness and his
scrupulous sense Of honor justly entitled him
to. For year or more past Mr.. Taylor has
been a resident of St Louis and won to him
self there. as here, friend in every acquain.
tance Mr.. Taylor was man of very retiring
manners, but his constant struggle with dis
ease of late years increased that natural reserve
aud would have prostrated any man unless pos
sessed of the indomitable energy, perseverance
and industry which emineEtly marked his char
acter.
Mr. Taylor graduated with credit at Union
College. He praetised law in the city of Troy,
and for a number of years so devoted himself
to his profession, so faithfully served his clients
and so ably represented their interests before
the courts of New York, as to attain an emf
nence at the Bar seldom accorded to a man of
his years, and opened, to human eyes, future
not only cf profit but of marked distinction
in his profession. The excessive mental and
physical toll he then endured, and a carelessness
of self, which too often characterizes members
of all the learned professions, undermined
naturally vigorous constitution and fastened up
on him that insidious disease which has Just
conquered.
nI-health forced Mr. Taylor to abandon the
law, and he came West, some eight years since,
hoping an active business and change of eli
mate would restore his health; they undoubl
edly prolonged his life.
Mr. Taylor was Frustrated some weeks since
at st. Louis, and was on his way, by means of
short rides, in the night cars, to his native
place. Lansingburgh, N. Y, arriving at the
American on Thursday morning. His remains
were taken to Lansingburgh for interment. Mr..
Taylor was about 80 years of age.-Herald.

The War with Paraguay.

The Administration of James Buchanan is 4
most warlike one. 1t has waged war on the
Treasury, on the remnant of Florida Indians,
the Free State men of Kansas, Brigham Young
and his wives, various Indian tribes in Oregon
and Washington Territories, the Camanches OF
Texas, and the Little Giant" Of Illinois. 1t is
now sounding the note of preparation for big
war on President Lopez of Paraguay, has col
lected The odds and ends of the navy to the
number of some seventeen sail of frlgates, pro-
pellers, and steam tubs of various sorts, and
last of all is putting paint on two Lake
Ontario steamers now aloat in salt water, to
carry troops up the tributaries of the La Plata
Cor the purpose of humbling ard bringing the
naughty Lopez to terms in his Capital Of
Asuncion, a city of mud huts, crooked and un-
payed streets, containing twelve thousand peo-
pie, and protected by an old Spanish Fort
Paraguay lies in the fork of the rivers Parana
and Paraguay, is some six hundred miles from
the ocean, and has al area equal to Maryland
and Virginia together, with population nearly
as large as Vermont
The cause of the Paraguay war is briefly this.
In 1854 treaty was formed and ratified be-
tween our Government and the Argentine Re-
public By its terms the navigation of the La
Plata and some ofits large tributaries were OPEN
eI to US for trade Consul Hopkins, residing
at Paraguay, like most South American Con-
suls, was eager to make some money out of his
office Under the provisions of the treaty
organized trading Company. President Lo-
pez was himself Yankee enough to sec that this
competition intcrfered with his gains. lie be-
gan to quibblc about the free use of the waters
of Paraguay. Our government supposing the
clubbing would amount to nothing, sent the
steamer Water Witch, Lieut.. Page to spy out
the land. Lieut.. T. run his Witch up to the
Capital of Paraguay, under permission OF the
Argentine Confederacy, the Paraguay river being
the boundary line between the two Countries
Lopez not wishing the stranger in those waters,
issued his ediet that no foreign vessel should be
permitted to navigate any of the waters of his
State Page persisted in pushing the Water
Witch up the river, and Lopez, in February
1855, ired the guns of one Of his forts into the
Witch Our flag was thus insulted, ana up to
this time the reparation has been only quibbies'
promises and non fulftlment on the part of Lo-
PEI. The waters where the outrage was com |
mittej were not exclusively under the jurisdic- |
ton Of Lopez, his country was at peace with |
ours, and a treaty had been agreed.uPon and ap- |
proved BY the O. S Senate The insult is grow |
ing old, Paraguay is long way of, her people |
arc half civilized, President Lopez is of small
account, our Golfers are full national honor must
be redressed, and Buchanan needs the glory!

Another AIOsIern Oatrnge in Palestine

Miss Cressy, an English lady long resident at
Jerusalem, whose habit was to teach Moslem,
Jewish, and Christian girls to read, write, and
sew, was murdered on the evening Of the 81 OF
September, outside the gates of the city. After
dismssing her scholars she started just at night
fall to visit the family Of Mr.. Finn, the English
Consul, whose tents were pitched not far dis
tant from the city walls. Six days afterward
her body was found in a field some distance
from the path, with deep wound on the tenn
pie, caused by a stone found bloody and lying
near. The ring and the contents of small
bag Miss C. carried were missing. After this
discovery, the Europeans who were living out
side the walls under tents, Immediately return
ed to their homes within the city, lest the new
ly kindled fanaticism among the native popuIa-
ton towards Christians might lead to further
outrages. The English Consul had an inter
view with the Pasha, who promised to do every
thing in his power to bring the murderers 10
justice. He sent out soldiers, arrested num-
Der of Sheiks, who are to be examined by a
jury of six, three Moslems and three Chris
tians, and the correspondent of the Boston Trav-
eller writes that the Sheiks will be kept in
prison until the names of the murderers shall
be disclosed. The Franks arc in great suspense
as to the issue of the matter, the bearing of the
native population towards the Christians, espe-
cially European, being such as to create deep
anxiety in the minds of the residents. The
murder of Miss Cressy is regarded as but
repetition Of the Jaffa tragedy.

uRxtraordiuary Bank Failure

The failure of the Western Bank of Glasgow
Scotland, spread unparalleled ruin throughout
that city. Some thirteen hundred families held
investments in the bank, in mary eases the sole
dependence of aged professional men, widows,
and orphans. The total paid up capital was
81, 500, 900, which was entirely lost. When the
stOppage of the bank occurred. deficiency oil
81 800 600 in addition to the loss Of the whole
capital was announced a call of Sl25 per
share was enforced on all who had anything
left This was finally paid in June last 1t was
hoped and expected by the stockholders who
were individually liable for the whole extent OF
the debts of the bank, that the worst was known.
Complete astonishment was therefore felt when
it was announced the 7th of September that the
deficiency, instead of being Sl,5O0,OOO, had
proved to be S7,00000O, and that upon each
share fresh payment of $500 would be requir-
ed within twenty-four days Out of thirteen
hundred stockholders, not more than one hum

eide Yet the Directors, or majority of them,
says the London correspondent of the New
York Commercial, have adopted bold and un-
scrupulOus tone to the last. They relied upon
their parliamentary influence, especially among
the tories, and the government have screened
them throughout. Among their chief apOOgists
they have numbered Sir Archibald Alison, the
author of the History of Europe. They claim
to have been themselves deceived; but they can
not avoid the imputation of having most rashly
and foolshly become virtual endorsers to mill
lions in amount of men they knew nothing
about, and who proved, what they might have
expected. In such cases, reckless dealing with
other peoples means, works greater suffering
than direct villainy could accomplish.

The oreat aIeeker WIN Case

Newark, n. J., papers have been discussing
the merits of the great "Aleeker Will Case, VI
which has probably terminated in the Supreme
Court of that State ere this it having occupied
the entire term. There seems to have been an
unusual interest hanging over this case from
the singular manner i'll which the testator is
claimed to have disposed of his large property.
The circumstances are briefly these.
Mr. D. X. Boylan, once harness maker in
this city, doing business IN Capt. McCurdy' :
building on Superior Lane, is said to have been
the personal friend of Mr. Meeker, and watch
cd and nursed the old gentleman in his last
sickness. Soon after the death of Mr.. Meeker
in Newark, will purporting to be his own free
act, was offered for Probate, bequestbing to
Mr. Boylan his property, estimated at $4,000.
The heirs of Mr.. Meektr questioned the vaiidi-
ty of the will, and the case has been most eIab-
oratey discussed. as will be seen by despatch
dated Newark, Oct 29th
The Meeker will case, which has occupied the
attention ofthe Supreme Court Circuit, and e1
cited the interest of our citizens during the
whole of the present tern of the above Court, is
drawing to d close / 7. Frehnghuysen, Esq,
made the concluding speech on the part of the
plaintiffs to-day, having taken six hours IN It's
delivery. The other counsel, COurtlandt Parker,
ESQ the Hon. A Z. NJ. Pennington and Gov.
Pennington, each spoke from six to eight hours.
The charge of Judge Haines to the Jury will be
delivered Tomorrow. Property to the value OF
S3O,O 900 is involved in the suit. i verdict for
the plaintiffs hardly be regarded otherwise
than as a conviction in the minds of Jurors that
the instrument Purporting to be the last will of
Jonathan n. Meeker, under which D. K. Boy
