"KETcHNG EMIGRANTs "A new conner, vid
"the Plains across" with his brother, was in
town, yesterday, looking around at the va
rious objects of interest which happened to
be presented to his vision, but, visiting the
drinking saloons little too often, he soon be-
came somewhat too jolly for the peace and
quiet of the city. His brother remained duly
sober, being able to punish good deal
more liquor, with impuoity. AT his request,
the intoxicated perambulHtor was taken by
policeman to the Station House and locked
up, until he should get fright again" In
few hours he began to verge towards ration
ality, matters and things still being, however,
considerably confused in his mind. At this
iuncture, the Captain of the Police went to
the door of his cell. to see how he was get
ting on, and the following conversation en-
sued
Emgrant-"What am here fur ? What's
the meaning o putin me into Jail, sir?"
Captain of Police-"Oh, nothing in par
ticular"
Emigrant-"But, what the hill and d
tion have done? Eh ?"
Captain of Police-"Well, you hav'nt done
anything"
igrsnt-"What, in the name of God AL
mighty, then, have yon got me locked up
fur ?"
Captain of Police-"Well, amt YOU an emf
grant ?"
Emigrant-"In course, am, but what o
that?"
Captain of Police-"Oh nothing, only the
police are always ins tructed to arrest every
emigrant that comes into any of the big
towns, and strays around in loose manner
through the streets. That's all"
Enigrant looks most completely over
whelmed and stupefed with astonishment.
Finally raises his head and inquiries
"Where's my brother? %
Captain of Police-"He's lodged us, but
| the men are after him, and think he'll soon
be brought in"
Emigrant scratches his head in profound
betuddlement. Finally again ventured to in.
quire:
where's the balance of the boys that was
with me and my brotherT
Captain of Police-"Well, the policeman
are after them, too, but its doubtful whether
they'll find EN-. The instructions are to seize
and take into custody every emigrant that
comes into the city"
Emigrant, with eyes open like two full
moons: :)-"Waal, I've hearn tell O. strange
things in Californy, but never had an idee
that it would come to sich pass as this Eff
| ever get out O. this derned hole, f don't
leave Californy for good, and never come back

Ofeourse when the obfustcated individual
became duly sober, he was relieved of his
embarrassment, and went on his way rejoic-

The Gloucester Telegraph says that an
unusual case of sickness is now in the hands
of DIR. Haskell, of Rockport. A boy, about
five years of age son of Eben Knowlton, has
contracted the disease of glanders by climb
ing in the stall where horse affected with
the disease had been kept although it was
not known at the time that the horse was
affected. Cases of this kind are very rare,
and most generally have proved fatal The
present case is very severe one, and will
praUably have a similar result.

MORE RowDYIsM AT BALrMoRE-A lette

MORE RowDYIsM AT BALrIMoRE.-A letter
from New York says
Another of those brutal exhibitions of row
dy ferocity, which have been latterly almost
exclusively confined to Baltimore, occurred
on the night of Goth August, incident to an
excursion from that city to a camp meeting
on the Choptank river. The steamer Ex.
press, with a large party on board, started
for the camp ground, and when she had pro-
ceeded some distance on her way, party of
rowdies, made up of clubs known as the
"Enholts," the "Ranters," and the rip
Rnps," made an indiscriminate assault upon
the white and colored passengers, but espe
cially upon the latter-knocking them down
beating them dreadfully, robbing, and il
some cases, stabbng them. A few of tn,
ring'leaders were subsequently arrested anC
committed for trial One of the colored mel
stabbed is reported to have died.

The Cuban Question.

Althoug the Governments of Europe have
MS yet made no distinct avowal as to what
their policy is in regard to Cuba, there is
pretty good reason to believe that they are
opposed to the acquisition of that Island by
the United States and that they will do what
they can in the way of treaties, intrigue, and
diplomacy, to forestall that acquisition Spain
is not the only nation in Europe in which
the Cuban question is discussed French ed
itors and publishers, have boldly taken up
the subject, and have given us their ideas
thereon, and also we presume, the ideas of a
considerable portion of the French people,
A pamphlet writ'en on the Cuban question
lately appeared in Paris in which the writer
speaks of Cuba, us being the field where the
balance of power in the New World is to be
settled lie says that the Europeon Power;
should be constantly and openly, the protect
ors Of all the Antilles against the encroach-
ments of the United States In regard to tn,
manner in which the Cuban question shoulC
be settled he says that Island should be in
dependent under the guaranty and protection
of the principal European and American ma
tions. He is willing that the United State
should have a voice with the rest of the ma
tions, in the settlement of Cuban affairs: l
however, the United States should refuse tC
join that convention, we are told that they
will be placed beyond the pale of civilization
and that the path which Europe should fol-
low, will then be open.
How far the opinions advanced by this wri
ter on the Cuba question, meets the appro
baton Of the French people, we cannot say
At any rate, they have excited some attention
in both Europe and America. In the follow
ing sentence, we suppose the writer allujes
to Mons Belly's canal scheme. "The Island
of Cuba, which is the key of the present trade
in the Gulf of Mexico, an which, by the cut
ting of the Isthmus of Nicaragua is to be-
come the most effective military guardian o.
this passage, and the common resort of the
navies of the world. should not be abandon
ed at the mercy Of the United States; still
less should she be suffered to pass into the
power Of savage Africans"

AN ingenious mode of robbery has been
fallen upon in Newark, New Jersey. The
Mercury says there is a suspicious looking
ing individual, "furriner," going around
town carrying string, to the end of which
is attached dirty, thieving little monkey.
Whenever this individual spies a bedroom or
parlor window open he stops and listens, and
if he is satisfied that there is no one present
in the room, he sends the monkey creeping
slyly up the front of the house into the open
window. Now the man monkey on the side
walk, having hold of the other end of the
string is strongly suspected of having com
municated his own thievish p-opensities to
the little monkey, and has educated" him to
fasten on little valuabes, such as bracelets,
breastpins, finger rings or loose change,
which his monkeyship may fiad lying on the
toilet or center-tables
