Capture and Death of Cuban Baadits.-
The local paper of -Spiritus, Cuba,
comes to us with an exciting account of the
death and capture OF two noted bandits
who had long been the terror of the South
ern part of the island, waylaying travellers,
and even yenturing by night into populous
villages. Their names were jose Sanchez,
and Jose Garcia, otherwise Rodriguez, but
commonly known as "Pepe the outlaw
They We're taken with arms in their hands
and alive, but only by accident, by party
of troops who, being out after another band,
came upon them suddenly and by chance, in
the mountains. At first they feigned quiet
ly to submit, but watching their opportuni-
ty as the party were crossing swollen river
on their retarn, they overpowered their
attendants, and for the moment was believed
had .made good their escape. They were
pursued, however, overtaken and shot; and
their bodies were afterwards taken into
Sancti-Spiritus, and exposed to the gaze of
the populace, who are said to have reioiced
greatly at their deliverance. Orleans

The Pardoning Poaoer I'm Yirgsnia.-
appears that under the laws Of Virginia the
Governor cannot pardon a person convicted
OF treason to the Commonwealth, except
with the consent of the General Assembly,
declared by joint resolution. A writer in the
National lnteligencer says the constitution
OF Virginia gives no power to the Governor
to commute for murder. In such a case there
must be full pardon if any exercise of ex-
ecutive clemency towards a white man,
Sentence against slave may be committed
by transportation, which is no punishment
at all. The writer adds:
The only way Governor Wise could inter
tere in the case of Brown would be respite
during his term OF otfice-which will end
on the first of January next-aAd then the
criminal would be ia the hands of the next
Governor, who might extend the respite
from time to time; bat this course can hard
ly be anticipated At all events, many of
Browns sympathisers have exhibited but lit
tie sense or discretion in their approaches to,
the mercy seat. Governor Wise's impulses
(mostly generously cannot be controlled by
either threats Of consequences or appeals to
his interest. He is himself almost as COM
pact ''bundle of nerves. as he represented
Brown to be. But, as he is not required to
sign death-warrant, he will probably let
the law take its course on the day fixed by
the judge.

A Man Dies Alone IN the Woods ia Ar
kansas and is Eaten by Buzsards. One day
last week a Mr.. McLemee, residing ia Fort
Pickering, started, in company with another
gentleman, on hunting expedition to Ar
kansas They crossed the river and struck
into the woods, and after hunting for day
or two, McLemee expressed desire to re-
turn home, and left his friend behind, who
intended remaining in the woods few DAYS
longer. After securing the country for four
days, the latter gentleman returned to Fort
Pickering, and upon inquiring for his friend,
learned to his surprise that he had not vet
returned home,nor had any intelligence been
received concerning him. His friend became
alarmed for his safety, and a party started in
search OF him.
Yesterday afternoon as Mr.. Grimer, res
ident of Fort Pickering, was squirrel hunt
ing two or three miles back Of Hopatield,
his attention was attracted by seeing large
number of buzzards circing around short
distance from him, and, upon proceeding to
the place, discovered, to his horror, Nc
Lemee lying on the ground dead. He was
almost destitute Of clothing and the buzzards
had eaten nearly all the flesh off his legsl
During the past few months Mr.. McI.emee
had been frequently under the influence of
liquor, and it is supposed that while in the
woods he had been seized with an alta ok of
mdni-a-potu, which terminated his existence.

Lone as. Roasted Chesnuts. An old gentle
man, past the age OF sixty, but still retain
ing decided passion for dimity and good
looking girls, while promenading the streets
ot Philadelphia few weeks ago, fell in with
Il pretty Italian girl, who has stand on the
coTner OF one of the stseets, where she roast
ed and sold cheslnuts. The old gent was at
once struck by the beauty of the daughter of
sunny Italy, and to introduce himself, he
bought a pint of the roasted merchandise.
Had he stopped here, all would have been
well. But the heat OF the ehestnuts impart
ed such warmth to- hls feeling that he com
meneed ogling the merchantess, and finally
attempted to come The Onderdonk on the
damsel, when she seized the pan of chesnuts
from off the furnace and dashed them at the
bending form OF the gray Lolhario. One
chestnat fell beneath his shirt collar, and
kissing hot, traversed down his spinal co
ANN until he seized it by his coat-tails and
rushed from the scene, evidently laboring
under the effects OF secret sorrow aud roasted

A Swiss Capt.. 7list and Miser.

A foreign correspon dent of the New Y ork
journal of Commerce, relates the following
history of Swiss man ufacturer h
"Swtzerland is a yer y industrious coun-
tw Among her princi pal articles of manu-
tacture are silk and colt on. Low wages and
an inexhaustible abundal ace of water power
give to her large manuf .cturing es tablish-
ments advantages over IN any other countries
which make compe tition easy. Many of the
proprietors of these es adjustments have
some fabulous riches, unk hown TO the world,
and in some instances to themselves. Last
week one of these cotton! lords OF the last
named category died. His name was koaz;
but he was generally known by the name of
"Spinner King" His large cotton mill is
situated in the villageiof lister, a short dis
lance from Zurich. He was selt-made man,
a man without any education, and without
any prominent talents. His principal quail
ties were Il horrible avarce, an iren indus
try, and the art of extorting from his la
borers as much work for as little pay as pos
sihle. He was 6S years of age when he died
an old bachelor. He never enjoyed any of
the pleasures Of life.
A low, small, dirty room, with old bed
stead, and no other furniIure was in his res,
idence. Attached to it was kitchen, where
his old servant resided and cooked his scan

in order to save time. He never gave any
aims or any support to poor people. 'Non
sense Good for nothing Let them save and
work, was his sterreotyped reply in such ca
SEES. He did not pay taxes on more than
$lO0,00O until two years ago he was COM
PEELED to raise his assessments to 81, 100000.
He never kept any regular. books, never a
stock book, never took an inventory. About
twelve years ago he was persuaded by bust
ness friends to get an inventory taken; but
when that inventory long before it was fin
ished, already showed nett property of
10000, 900 OF Zurich guilders or $l0,000,000
free Of all debts, he stopped the continuation
of it with his usual words-"N onsense
Good for nothing !" True to bis principals
this modern Crosus has contributed nothing
TO his laborers, nothing to his beneyolence
or useful institutions, and his laughing neirs
will devide among them the whole OF the
enormous property, the amount of which
will be made out very soon by the courts"
