The Filibu stars in New York.

This set of cheyaliers were all, as the boys
say, "spiling for a fight, and they picked out
the st. Nicholas bar room a. the seen" OF their
campaign. Curiously enough, the land
lord Of the hotel failed to see the matter III
the flibustcrs' light, acting with the yIgor
and %promptitudr of a Paulding, had Colonel
Anderson locked up bsoluteiy lncarceratcd
in 4 station house. And tie other tillbustcrs

of Young New York, who was almost per,
suaded into challenging 4 man who had

she violence of Q shot out # n riti"i cannon,

How a Lady got a $500 Ring.

A few days since. a lady OH II shopping
excursion, entered n Broadway stage and oc-
cupicd the only seat. Of six on "A side" that
remained vacant. Seated beside her was n
person who. from his courteous demcanor,
his fashionable dress and his costly jewelry,
she Judged 10 be- man Of means"-whether
his own or his neighbours did not then occur
To her-and apparently not an Objectionable
companion du rog0ge for a stage 'all full
inside" \ splendid diamond ring attracted
her particular observation.
Arrived at her de-tination-a iewelry
st0rc-she l%eisurcly selected IA few articles for
purchase, but upon Offering to pay the bill,
made the unpleasant discovery that her
purse was missing. She Immediately in
formed the shop-kecper of her loss, and de-
scribcd the mornings journey. She was in
formed that her neighbor Of the consolidated
line was undoubtedly a cheroiicr FiRiHS-
h'ic, that his brilliants were probably bogH$,
but that the transfer of funds from her pocket
to lis was real and successful. She reluc-
family adopted the conclusion, but anxiously
commenced another search, which it was
supposed would c%xtinguish all hope Of a
mistake in the matter.
This resulted in bringing to light, from an
uneNplorcd corner of her pocket, tn" idcnti-
cal ring which had a short time before gilt
tered upon the hand Of her light-ingered
friend, and which had slipped of while he
was committing the delicate operation Of
picking her pocket.
Her admiration of the trinkct was not in
the least abatrd. when upon examination 1t
was pronounced to be worth five hundred
dollars.-N. J.. Past.

How TO Preserve Health.

The y. y. Evening Post has a sensible ar
ticle Oh health. public and private:
For perfect health, we should take daily
a perfumed bath Of sunshine. The direct
rays of the sun are Indispensable to all who
seek to obtain or maintain the normal condl-
ton of existence. While we would neglect
no agency of ventilation, exercise or whole
some food, things which ought always to be
provided in abundance, we would insist that
this too should be regarded as coordinate, If
not superior to them.
"Houses which are constantly shaded are
far less healthful as residences than those
which are exposed to the full glare of the
sun. Apartments on the northern side OF Il
building are least proper for human oee"paa-
ton. Sleeping rooms into which the sun Is
not permitted to shine are chambers Of death.
This closing Of window shutters and blinds
during the daytime is of more than doubtful
propriety, though its efficacy in improving
and hiding the defects Of the female COM
plexion is less questionable

The French Emperor,s Camp Tent, SC

Malakof writes to the New York Times
The camp tent of the Emperor Napoleon
which preceded him to Italy. was made by
Alexis Coodillot. and is III white aud blue
stripcd tent cloth, doubled. Its height is
about fifteen feet. The interior is divided
into three COMPARTMENTS saloon, bedroom
and dressing room. Doors in the cloth per,
nit a passage from one room TO the other. and
windows are pierced for ventilation. An
iron bed, folding seats. and three small tables
one for the toilet-cumpoSc the furniture
for the Imperial residence. The tent is re-
markable Tor its perfect finish, the laclilty
with which it can be put up and taken "
and its general adaptation TO the purpose Tor
which it was destined. 1t WAS made five
years arO. for the war iii the Crlmea. and
started on its journey a far as MarSciiirH;
but the Emperor changed his mind then, ana
the tent has lain ever since in the flag room
of the Tuileries. But, what is curious, tie
iron bed now in this tent, the toilet furniture
and the table service in silver, belonged to
the first Emperor, and accompanied him in
nearly all his campaigns; and rs these cam
paigns were so many victories, Louis Ma
polcon is going to throw himself upon the
destiny of these victorious wash-basinS and
saucepans. lie hopes, on the fields OF Maren-
20 and Lodi, to sleep upon, and draw lnSpira,

and schemed his great uncle, and on which

An Extensive Claim.

General Murray Mcconnell is now in the
city preparing the preliminaries for a suit IN
the name of the United States, for the recove-
nv of the north fraction of the south half of
fractional section ten, I. 80 y, Ii T.. This
land has never been included in any patent
ever issued by the government. 1t includes
that part Of the city lying between a point
commencing 100 feet west of the west line
of Wolcott street, ut or near the south line
Of KinZie street. running thence south TO
the present centre of Chicago river at the
intersection Of Wolcott street, thence along
the thread of the river IA the lake-the line
running just north of the Richmond House
and taking in the Massasolt House, the Hi
nois Central depot grounds, and all the other
buildings located north and east of it.
We believe suits will be entered at first
against the Galcna Railroad Company and
Mr.. Mccormick. and in the trial of these
eases the whole facts of the controversy will
be elected. The suit will be, So far rs the
amount involved il concerned. a magnificent
ore: the property included within the claim
has certainly a value of not less than tour
millions of dollars.
1t appears that fractional section ten
stretches one mile oh the lake, lying on both
sides of the river: this fractional section is Of
course divided into two traction>-north and
south halves. The south half is divided into
two parts 10y the Chicago river, one part of
the south half lying on the north side and
the other part on the south side of the river.
That part Of the south half which lies on the
north side Of Chicago river. or which did lie
on the north side of the river before It's Ill
rection and mouth was changed, includes
about fourteen acres, and is the part claimed
by General Mcdonnell. In an early day
Mr.. krrzie entered the north half of section
ten, and subsequently obtained a patent
therefor. Gen. Baubien entered the south
fraction nf the south hall, and the War De
partmrnt took the land from him and laid 1t
out into a city. Gen. Mcconnell entered
the middle fraction, being the fourteen acres
we have described. His certificate of entry
WAS cancelled by the government, the land
taken back by the government, which has
never issued n patent for it to any one since.
As soon H. the surveys are completed the
suits will be commeuccd.-ChicdyO Times.

Slave States.

The Mississippian, a strong Southern
Rights paper, published at Jackson. in COM
mentinG on an article of the sensation sort,

nation of a new slave State, out OF the Sou
tbern part of California, Is made Il text Tor Il
homi]y about the extension OF slavery, re-
marks rs follows:
But the fears of Black Republicans on
the one hand, and the hopes OF Southern
journalists on the other, are alike groundiess.
There is no chance of erecting another Save
State. how much Socycr IL, soil ana climate
NAV be adapted to slavery. under existing
circumstances. \ slave population for such
4 purpose cannot be furnished by the South
ern States. They cannot spare 1t. The
scarcity and high price Of slaves in the
South. and the superintendent population Of
the North. will prevent the former from
competing with the latter in the settlement
of new Territories. with the remotest prospect
of success. The Vaccinations OF Walker
and Stanton did much to embarrass the Sou
thern cause in Kansas, but it would have tri-
umphed in spite of them if the slave States
could have spared the necessary population
and labor.
And if Kansas, lying directly upon the
borders Of Missouri, and presenting para
mount reasons To the slavcholding States,
why her institutions ought to have been SINH
lar to theirs, was lost 10 them, what prospect
have they of making new slave State on
the Pacific? The supplies Of labor requi-
site to such a consummatloH are not to be
found in Mississippi, nor in Alabama, nor in
Georgia. nor in Louisiana, nor IN Arkansas,
nor in Tennessee. All these States, Tor the
proper Development OF their natural reSour
ces, need more labor than they already have.
The slave laws of Texas extend over a wide
area Of territory which, under the terms Of
annexation, might be divided into States,
but she has not the requisite slave Popuia-
lati0n, and her Southern sisters are unable
10 afford her relief"

Alex. R. Boteler.

One Of the most gratifying results TO US OF
the late avalanche, Is, that this gentleman is
now certain of Il seat in Congress, Of which.
we honestly believe, he was deprived by I'M
fair means four years ago. No man, less Ia
miliar than ourselves with the state Of affairs
in that District, aud the influence with which
our friend Boteler had to contond, can form
any Just conception Of the splendid triumph
he has obtained.
The result Is n deserved compliment to one
of the purcst and most accomplished men IN
Virginia, from a District strongly opposed t"
him in politics: and Il iuSt rehuke 10 on" who
whatever may be said Of him aS II man

To Prevent Gold Hunting Decisions.

We think that there is all easy and simple
way to prevent the public being cheated by
Ease stories of gold discoveries, and We sng-
pest it for all future excitements OF Il similar
kind. Let the government direct some OF ITS
engineers or army officers to proceed to any
place were gold discoveries are alleged to
have been made, make a geological survey of
the vicinity, and furnish a plain, intelliglble
report of its mineral and agricultural rcsonr-
ces. That report should be immediately
made public, so that our citizens might have
reliable information on which to act. The
expense would be insignificant, while the be
nefts to the public would be inestimable.-
We hope that this plan will be adopted, and
believe that if it be, such n swindlr as that of
Pixies Peak can never be successfully re
p~catcd.--N. J. WcInid.

The Queen at the Opera.

of Queen Iictoria's visit to the Covent Gar
den Opera, at the performance of Mr.. Wal
lace's Mariana:
ION the entrance Of Her Majesty there
was no demonstration on the part Of the audi
ence or the artists. She was quite plainly
dressed. in modcstly low neck and shot sleeves,
with Il couple of pink roses in her HAIR. and
took her seat more quietly than most ladies
of fashion. who enter the opera house III Il
blaze of jewclry or gimcrurkcry. Prince Al
bert was seated on the right, and next I" him
the three maids of honor filed the remaining
front seats. The Queen and Prince both
seemed to take a lively interest in the perlnr-
nance, following the singers through the lib
retto, but, ut the same time, scanning, not
only the artists, but the occupants ofthe box
es, pretty closely through their lorgnettes.-
When the Prince chatted and laughed with
the honorable, but by no means dangerously
beautiful, maid who sat beside him, his wife
invariably leaned towards them, to catch the
Joke and Join in the laugh. Victoria is, be-
yond all question, Il model wife and mother, as
we'll rs Il most ]virtuous and gracious Queen.
Her subjects love her so well, that no radical
or republican wit dares To carlcature or
