The WORD CREo1E-Sone peo-
pie suppose the the Creole to be
nearly black, imagining the word
to be used as term Of disgrace or
reproach.T he Spanish word Chrillo
(Creole) was originally applied to
the descendants Of whites in Mexi
co, south America tnd the West
Indies, in whom white blood un-
mixed with that of hny other race
existing. This is still the accepta-
ton Of the term in the West Indi-
ans. s.s- ~-r--,esse>->- es*-
A mulatto is the offspring Of a
white and negro; Quadroon of a
white and a mulatto, being one
quarter black a Mustee, Of white
and aquadroon, or one eighth black:
and a Mustalian Of a white and d
mustee, being one-sixteenth black.
Terms impl ying a much less ad-
mixture Of blood are prevalent in
Cuba. Creole simply means white
native Of those tropical climates.
He DID Mt READ THE PAPERS.
In the trial Of the Doyan Broth
ers, recently in Michigan, for mur-
der, much difficulty was experien-
ced in obtaining a jury free from
prejudice, At last, after a large
number had been rejected. a man
from the back part Of the country
was called, who, in response to the
questions propounded, said he did
not take or read a paper, and had
never heard Of the murder. This
was too strong case, and Mr.. Ter
ry, one Of the counsel, for the pros
ecution, said " We object to your
sitting on the jury in ti:is case;
man that don't take a paper, and
never heard of this brutal murder,
don't know enough to be a juryman.
We don't want you"

AN ARMY OF NEw YORK BRUIsERs IN Ho-
BoEEN.-AbOut five hundred New York bruisers
came over to Hoboken last night, between
seven and eight o'clock, for the purpose of wit
Messing prize fight, which was to como off at
Fox Hill, back of Elysian Fields. The ring
was formed about eight o'clock, and the two
would-be championships an Englishman from
Washington Market, and the other bruiser
belonging about Chamberlains cattle-yard-
were stripped, when Frank McDonough, Cap
tain of the Night Watch, jumped into the ring
and commanded the mob to disperse. After n
consultation of the ringleaders, during which
1t was proposed to move over into the township
OF Weebawken, it was finally decided to post
pone the milling match, and the mob returned
to New York. 1t was estimated that between
four hundred and five hundred persons crossed
the ferry. There wero among them big ruff
mans as we'll as little rufans, some not more
than twelve yeurs old; but from none of them
could the names of the principals be ascer-
tained

The FIRES IN THE NEw-JERsEY PINES
We clip the following from the Philadelphia
North American:
A news item, copied into our columns from
one OF our Jersey exchanges, has mentioned
the large wood fire in Burlington County, N.
j. From friend we learn that the confla.
grafton, which approached Medford, destroyed
the timber covering about $1,000 acres of pine
land, owned by VIM. Braddock and others.
Mr.. Braddock's loss, alone, amounted to S1O,-
600. At Snyder's mills, where the flames
encountered large pond of water, it was sup
posed that tho destruction would oc arrested,
but high wind prevailing, the fire crossed the
pond, and caught in the buildings, fences, &c,
so that the people narrowly escaped with their
lives. The fire commenced near Pendletop,
where colored man was burning brush heaps
common but very dangerous practice in wild
lands. Many farmers suffered the. loss of
fences and other property, and the neighboring
crops were injured" ......~, :
