WHEN Julius Caesar was crossing the

EMANCIPATION IN JAMAICA.
A MANUFACTURER.

The 4merican Missionary says, respect
ing the Jamaica mission: "Letters from
the missionaries contain but little that is
encouraging, and not a little that is try
ing, One of them writes that petty crime
is on the increase in that island, the only
exception to this being found among the
people that are under the direct influence
of the missionaries. In the mission
church at Eliot, there had been some
painful defections, and it had been found
necessary to cut off four of the members.
Another missionary writes that all the
churches throughout the island seem to
be suffering from reaction that has been
going on ever since the time of special
zeal that marked the first few years sue
cecding emancipation"
Reluctant as the philanthropists may
be to admit the fact, the scheme of eman-
cipation adopted by the British govern
ment at so great cost, in her West
India colonies, has proved disastrous
failure, pecuniarily and morally. The
evidence on this point is of too positive
a character to be rejected any longer
Certainly, whatever may be thought of
the increased Acknowledgements of the
London Times in relation to this matter,
testimony like that quoted above can nei-
Their be suspected, nor misconstrued.-
After such an experiment, commenced
under auspices the most favorable, and
with objects the most melting to earnest
cndeavor, the honest abolonist may well
inquire if, after all, he is not laboring
under a delusion; whether he has not
greatly misconceived the facts, and
whether the condition of servitude pre-
vailing throughout the Southern States
is not, all things considered, better fitted
to raise the negro in the scale of mental,
moral, and physical endowment, than a
promiscuous emancipation. To be sure,
the process of culture and development
is often protracted through several gen
erations; but when at length the import

intelligent Christian freeman,-perhaps
on the shores of the Liberian Republic,
or at the northern terminus of the U. G..
Railroad, it is apparent that his period
of tutelage was not one of unmitigated
evil. However much the aboltionists
may detest the "insitution," his fond
ness for its graduates is unequivocal;

EG-In New Orleans, the other day
at big fire, a man named Jules Dreux
Of Hook and Ladder Company, No. 2,
being in danger of burning, saved his life
in some miraculous manner upon the ex-

gree, some saying that he jumped across
to the houses opposite, and others insis-
ting that he came down a fvc-story lad.
der in three jumps. An honest Dutch
man, who saw the whole affair, says
that Jules took the "grapple-rope," fas-
tened one end of it to the roof of the
burning building, threw the other end
to which was attached the iron grapple,
across the street, caught it on the roof
of the house opposite, and hauled it taut.
Having thus extcmporised tight-rope,
he took n crow.bar for n balancc-p pole,

HENRY OLAf AND SEWARD.-ln let
ter dated March 16, 1850, Henry Clay,
abiding to speech delivered by Sena-
tor Seward, in the Senate, said, "his late
abolition speech has eradicated the respect
of almost all men for him." What would
Mr. Clay, were he alive, say of his Roch-
ester "irrepressible conflict" speech?-
What would the great patriot have said
to the Black Republican position that the
slaveholding states and the free states
cannot live together in peace? The
Washington States remarks
"Were Mr. Clay alive at the present
time, we believe he would be zealously
cooperating with the Democracy for sus-
tanning the provisions of the Constitu-
ton in letter and spirit against Black
Republicanism and Know Nothingism as
are his old and intimate political associ-
ates-Hon. Reverdy johnson, Senator
Pearce, ex-senator Pratt, Hon. VIM. b..
Reid, Hon. Joseph Randell, and hosts Of
others, including his worthy son-the
late Representative of the Ashland dis
trict. 1t was not in his nature to league
with such isms as that represented by
The black lantern or the grepressible
conflict AS soon would Washington
have leagued with the tories of the Rev
olution.
Let the emphatic language of Mr.. Clay
in relation to Mr.. Seward, employed nine
years ago, be steadily remembered, in
the terrific conflict into which the latter
has endeavored to precipitate this pros
porous country, viz: His late Abol,tion
speech has erad'eatsd the respect Of almost all
men for him.

"ALLs WELL THAT ENDS WELL"-On the
goth of May suit was instituted in one of the
Sacramento Courts for damages of $4,000 a.
sgainst man of the lower part of the State,
Asaid in the complaint to be worth $500, ,OOO
The complainant was young lady who was en-
gagged in keeping school, and was formerly a
resident of this city. She averred that she had
made the acquaintance of the defendant " in the
forepart OF the summer of 1855" and that he
had, " by his insinuating, yet commanding, ad-
dress and manners, won her confidence and af-
fections that mutual agreement of marriage
was agreed upon, and she relinquished her stu
ton of teacher to become his wife. In an un-
guarded moment she yielded everything to his
solicitations, and as a consequence thereof, was
placed in very unseemly and delicate cond-
ton, for young lady, not having za1etaR lord
and protector.
Sometime in March she emigrated from her
late residence to Sacramento, at the solicitation
and under the assurance of the defendant, that
he would speedily meet her here and have the
promised marriage ceremony legally gone
through with. Failing to make his appearance,
however, and in fact disregarding all his promi-
ses, she concluded to try the virtue of the law
upon him, and heal her wounded honor and
broken reputation by plaster in the shape of
about fifty thousand pesos. What love would
not bring, the terrors of the law or the fear of a
heavy drag upon his purse accomplished, for on
hearing of the suit the gay Lothario soon mads
his appearance, and Instead of entering de-
fence, the marriage contract was consummated,
the suit at law dismissed, and the fair one,n at
least, sent on her way rejoicing. Bee

Gibbons History, sc.

One of the greatest and most successful works
ever composed is that of the % History of the
Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" by
Edward Gibbon. " 1t was at Rome" he writes
q on the 9th of October, 1894, as sat musng
amidst the ruins of the capital while the bare
foot, d friars were singing vespers in the temple
of Jupiter, that the idea of writing the decline
and fall of the city first started to my mind"
OF his feelings upon completing a task which
had occupied him for twenty-four years, he re-
marks: "a 1t was on the day, or rather the night,
of the 9th of June, 1877, between the hours of
eleven and twelve, that wrote the last page in
IA summer-house in my garden After laying
down my pen, took several turns in berceau,
or covered walk of accacias, which commands
prospect of the country, the lake and the
mountains. The air was temperate, the sky
was serene; the silver orb Of the moon was re-
hected from the waters, and all Nature was ST.
lent. will not dssemble the first emotions of
Joy on the recovery of my freedom, and perhaps
the establishment of my fame. 5ut my pride
was soon humbled, and sober melancholy was
spread over my mind, by the idea that had ia
ken an everlasting leave of an old and agreeable
companion; and that whatever might be the
futnre fate of the history, the life of the hsto-
ran must be short and precarious" Gibbon
then lived at Lausanne, in Switzerland. The
hrst volume of the history appeared in Februa,
= ry, l776, aud the second on the 9Th of Nav
1888, his fifty first year.
