specimen of g liberty, fraternity, equality the
circumstance therein related is amusing.

Of our city, called upon me in reference to an ar
ticle published In tie Correspondent the German
Democratic paper about Laufer kissing a negro.
In Justice to Laufer, will give the facts as they
On the sth day of October, 1860, Fred. Laufer
and myself were at the house of Gustaye Geger,
In this city, Laufer proposed playing for the beer,
and objected as he supplied the house with beer,
aud ought to treat. A big buck negro came in,
and proposed to throw dice for the beer; to this,
objected Laufer said that " negro is as good
rs am, and am as good as negro.n | said, a
negro may be as good as you are, but do not con-
slider him as good as am. | then saw the negro
with his arms around Laufer's neck and kissing
him. said, / did not see the whole of the opera
ton and insisted that they should do it over again.
The negro then put his arms around Laufer's neck
and commenced smacking. | put my hands on
their heads and brought their faces together, and
the darkey smacked again. then drove the darkey
ont OF the house. Laufer now says that he was
only Ia I'm believe him. knoto il nds fata for

Less to say that he was congratulated respecting
this distinction by the boys Of the place, who wait
| ed in body upon him for that purpose. As. in
addition to the comfort derived from their very
sympathising remarks, he endured all the discom.
fort Of an extremely cold winters day, (Which in
| Hanover meaning something like cold) he resolved
I to change his quarters, and having by a desperate
| effort nprooted the huge pole to which his neck
was chained he took it on his shoulder and walked
of with 1t TO the nearest public house.
It ID uncertain whether Belgium or France had
produced a real giant, that is to say, something
above seven feet and half; hnt Holland gave
birth 70 the giant Of Utrecht, described by both
Diemerbroek the anatomist and Mr.. Ray. They
agree In their accounts that he was eight feet and
I hall high. with well-shaped limbs Leyden pos.
sesses the frontal bone Of man who must have
been nine feet high at least 1t is quite double the
slze Of the frontal bone of an ordinary skull and
from the engraving and careful description of it in
the Royal soeietys Transactions, there seems no
reason to doubt that this size ID in no way owing to
= disease.
t Scotland has in modern days given to the world
one ialr-slzeu glant-Bg Sam, the Prince of Wales,
( porter, who was nearly eight feet high. robust
= and well-made. His size was no burden I'd lin,
! and he was as active in his movements as other
men. He performed as giant in the romance Of
Gymon, at the Haymarket. But his health failed
fast in the prime OF life that he had to return to
his native country and there, we believe soon af.
| terwards died. Sir Thomas Dick Lauder has like,
wise preserved the memory Of q gigantic Highland
| man who shattered a prizef fighters skull with q
single blow Of his fist; carried of cannon he was
set 70 watch and put it in his bed, thinking th:
was the best way to take care Of it on wet night
He laid the famous Capt. Barclay on the ground al

Hales the Norfolk giant and Walter Parsons, kim

and Hanover giants.
England has made one or two tolerable attempts

A RETREAT FROM Pixies PEAK.-The Chicago
Journal which has heretofore said many very plea
SAINT things about Pixies Peak, and contributed its
full share toward sending out thousands of people
on FOOLS errand, gives letter from Nebraska
territory, dated May 27, from which we extract
the following: "We meet every day new stampe-
ders from the Peak, who assign various reasons for
returning. Some say that it is humbug-some
say that there are plenty of good diggings there,
but they already occupied-some say this and
some say that but they most all say that the quartz
diggings rich, and mills are paying Institutions
Many of them got there too early, and did not
prospect but few weeks, and some did not at ALL

| turned back one hundred miles this side, on the
representations of some friends he met.
