A People WITHOUT TEETH.-D. Living
son's Travels in Africa, recently repubished
from the English edition, by the Harpcrs, is
considered one of the most valuable books
of modern times. Among many curious and
amusing things in il, is the following account
of strange deiormity existing in tribe of
negroes in the sun.roasted country he had
explored Every man woman and child con-
nected with the tribe are without front teeth.
Inquiring into the cause of this unnatural
appearance it was given to him thus
"Once upon time, the chief of the tribes,
like many better men in civilized countries,
was possessed of II refractory wife, lis en-
dured her mpudcnce and annoyance for
many years, but one day his passion, becom-
lng suddenly aroused he gave her whnt IL is
termed in civilized parlancc, "plug" in the
mouth with his fist. The blow must have
been well aimed, for IL relieved the mouth Of
the proud woman of all her front teeth
Thus despoiled Of her beauty, the sable mat
ron hid herself in shame and afterwards be-
came n tiactable and Obedient wife. The
warriors of the tribe in council assembled.
observed the good results of that one blow of
the chief, and being troubled, generally, with
disot edient wives resolved at once to follow
his pugistic example. Ench repaired to his
home, and rested not content until their
wives were forcbly relieved Of their front
teeth.

little attention to their remarks-thin king
they were only trying their hand at oratory-

POVERTY LAUGHS AT BURGLARs.--Tn the
Quarter Latin, Paris, student was lying
in bed, TO which he had gone supperless, on
Tuesday night, trying to devise some means
for raising the wind; suddenly in the dead of
midnight his reveres were disturbed by a
"click." StealthiIy raising himself in bed he
saw n burglar endeavorng to open his desk
with skeleton keys. The student burst into
fits Of laughter; the afrightcd thief, astoun-
ded, inquired the cause Of his glee. "Why,
am laughing TO see you taking 80 much
trouble to force open my desk and pick the
lock to find the money which ] cannot find,
though have the key" The thief packed
up his implimcn,s. thanked the student for
his information, politely expressed his regret
for having nselessly disturbed him, and trans
tcrrrd his talents and impliments TO some
more Californian quarter.

following reply over the cable yesterday:
The President cordially reciprocates the
congratulations of her Majesty, the Queen,
on the SUCCESS of the great international en-
terprise accomplished by the science, skill
and indomitablo energy OF the two countries.
Ii is II triumph more glorious, because more
useful, than was ever won by the conqueror
on the field of battle. May the Atlantic
Telegraph Company, ,nder the blessing Of
Heaven, prove to be bond of perpetual
pence and friendship between the kindred
nations, and an instrument destined by Di-
vine Providence to dtluse religious civiza-
tinn, liberty and law throughout the world
ln this view will not all the nations OF Christ
endom spontaneously unite in the declaration
that it shall be forever neutrl and that its
communications shall be held sacred in the
places of their destination in the midst Of
hOstilitirs
Signed nt Washington City, Aug. l6 1858
The following Is the Queens Message us
received complete over the Cable at five
O'Clock this morning: ...
Her Majesty desires to congratulate the
President upon the successful completion OF
lis great international work, in which the
Queen has tnken the deepest interest. The
Queen is convince that the President will
Join with her, in ferveniy hoping that the
Electric Cable, which now connects Gre"t
Britain with the United States, will prove mn
additional link between the nntions, whose
friendship is founded upon their common in
tcresl and reciprocal esteem. The Queen
has much pleasure in thus communicating
with the President and thus renewing to
him her wishes for the prosperity of the
United States.

MoUNTArs MEAsUREMENT.-T The highest peak
Of the Black Mountain, in North Carolinn,
which is the highest land East of tho Rocky
Mountains, has been measured three times by
scientific persons, and the results nre quite
remarkable. Professor Mitchell measured II
in 1855, and Professor Guyot in 1866; the
first reported the height to be six thousand
seven hundred and eight feet, the lat,er's
figures were six thousand seven hundred md
nine feet. Major ]. c. Turner measured Il
last yeAr, and reported the elevation TO be
six thousand seven hundred and eleven feet.
The first two were baromete ical movements
the third was made with the spirit level.

A WATER LOCoMoTIvE.-ln these days OF
Atlantic Cables we are prepared to hear of
almost anything in the way of invention
According 10 the l.ockport Courier, Daniel
Wner, of that village, has been for some
months engaged in the building Of "water
locomotive" which, the Courier says, made q
successful trial on Saturday. Its main fen-
ture is tha, of floating locomotive which
moves upon the water the same as the loco
motive on the railroad track. The engine
and the Wheels are built so rs to float, save
the wheels enter the water sufficiently to
prope! the boat forward rs they move. The
inventor Claims that n boat constructed on
this plan can be propelled with greater ease
and faster than the railroad engine, and that
il is peculiarly adapted to canal navigation,
Ms in going thirty miles an hour il would not
raise as much swell Ms m ordinary construct
ed steamboat would in going five. Iii; shall
meet one half the anticipations of those in
terested in its success, il is bound to produce
an entire revolution in the navigation Of wa
ter by steam.

been presented to the Academic de Medicine,

THE nurY OF THE LAWYER.

| NE w II Or uE III" " l EN-.
II is the received doctrine in this country
oflate years, We regret to have TO write, that
a lawyer may honorably do and say things
In defense or advocacy of his clients cause,
which as gentleman he would scorR TO do.
Perhaps the pernicious sentiments uttered by
Lord Brougham on the subject have done
more than nught else to establish the ascen-
dancy Of that reprehensible doctrine. Mr.
Justice Coleridge, who lately took leave of
the Court (Engish) of Queens Bench,
whereof he occupied seat for more than
forty years, in his valedctory address held
up the atrncity of the doctrine of Brougham
in this connection in so glaring light as to
lead to the hope that his nntidote may ac'
complish something, at least, in the way of
correcting the effect of the neral poison,
which being based on the unsound idea that
the end justifies the means, operates not
only to make lawyers, but nll Others who
come under the influence of their teachings,
insincere and really untrustworthy men,
tising them ourself, but rather as urging that
if it be true that the lawyer may with proprie-
ty seek, for the benefit of his client, to mako
what he knows to be the worse, appear to be
the better cause, any other man may, with
like proprety, seek to deceive and cheat in
the prosecution of his business. Said Mr..
Justice CoeriGge on the occasion referred to
above:
"These are not your severest trals," refer.
ing to tho more familiar difficulties of the
profession, "they are those which are most
insidiuus; which beset yon in the ordinary
path of your daily duty; those which spring
from the excitement of contest, from the
love of intellectual display, and even from an
exaggerated sense of duty to your clients.
"GentIemen, especially my younger friends,
suffer me without offence, to put you on your
guard against these. We can well afford to
bear traditional p!ensantries upon us from
without, but we cannot afford that underlying
these there should exist among thoughtful
persons feeling that our professional stan
dard of honor is questonabe-that we, as
advocates, will say and do in court what we,
as gentlemen, would scorn to do in common
walks Of life. Sometimes, confess, il seems
to me that we lend support to such feeling
by the lightnoss with which VIC impnte un-
generous conduct or practices 10 each other.
Surely no case is 80 sacred no client no dear,
that ever an advocate should be called up
on to barter his own scII-respect. II that be
our duty, our great and glorious profession
is no calling for gentleman,

There is q flower, holy one,
That blossoms on my path,
Noneed of dew or daily sun,
Or falling sh 'wers it hath;
1t blooms as brightly IN the storm
As on the cloudless dav,
And rears unharmed its humble form,
When others fade away.
That plant is FAITH; ITS holy leaves
Reviving odors shed,
Upon the lowly place of grief,
Or mansions Of the dead.
God is the sun; his living light,
In happy hours he lends,
And silently, in sorrows night,
Religion dew descends.
Plant Of my roul, be fading things
By other hands carest.
But through lfe's weary wanderings,
I'll bear thee in my breast;
And when the icy power shall chill
The fountains of my breath,
Thy loveliness shall cheer me still,
Zen in the hour of death.
