An African Emperor's Treasury.

The Moriteur de PArmee gives the
the following description of the Emperor
Of Morocco'S treasure house at Mequi-
neZ -
In the middle of the garden stands a
fortress, with triple wall perfectly
armed and defenced. In the ceotral in.
closure rises a stone building, lighted
only from the roof 1t is entered through
three iron doors, one after the other
The pavement Of the interior is black
marble and at one end is large open
ing, through which the gold and silver
coin, bullion and jewels are conveyed to
the treasury below. Tais last mentioned
place is an extensive vault, divided into
compartments of equal size, in each of
which is the value of million piastres.
The net produce Of the taxes is lodged
in the treasury every three mouths
The Emperor himself, when at Mequnez,
is present on the occasion: but in his alb
sence he names three of the chief officers
of his household to attend for him, know
ing well that mutual distrust will scarce
ly allow them to concert robbery, and
if they should do so, they would soon
betray each other; or be denounced by
the black guardians of the place. When
the Imperial treasury was first establish
ed, the money was kept in large earthen
Jars but on one occasion the contents
Of ten were distracted, and the robbery
concealed by filing the Jars with earth
and covering the top with few gold
pieces. The theft was not discovered
Immediately; but black who had seen
the robbers in the act, and had been
nearly murdered by them and left for
dead, afterwards recovered and gave in
formation against them. The Emperor
ordered the ten thieves to be decapitated
and directed that their heads should be
placed in the ten jars which they had
emptied, as warning to others. These
vases are still in the treasury, placed on
marble pedestas.
Maley Ismael's successor determined
to adopt a different arrangement, and
built the vaults now. existing. The EN-.
peror Muley Soleiman, well known for
his cruelty, was accustomed after the
quarterly deposits. to have all the blacks
put to death who had been engaged in
the operation. Adder Rahman his sue
cessor, abolished that atreeioas usage,
but he decided that the blacks employed
in arranging the money in the vaults
should never leave the building. 1t
would, therefore, be useless for them to
steal the treasure, as they are separated
from the rest Sof the world, and could
neither spend nor conceal it.

BSA Manners are the shadows Of vir-
tues; the momentary display of those
qualities which our fellow creatures love
and respect. If we strive to become,
then, what we strive to appear, manners
may often be rendered useful guides to
the performance of our duties.

Candid if not Honest.

A distinguished farmer-senator from
one OF the Western districts of New
York, previous to his entering upon his
canvass, thus wrote to friend in an aG.
Jacent county
DEAR JUDGE IF you will come over
into our district and make one or two
speeches, | think you will help the cause.
Yours, &C., d. A. 81.
ANSWER:
DEAR COLONEL If you will only
promise to be hat honest when YOU yet
IN the Senate, | will come.
Yours, truly, G..
REJOINDER:
DEAR JUDGE If l enter the Senate.
L must enter 1t untrammelled by PLEDGES.
Yours, &c, d. A. II.
The same Senator, some time ago,
made an arrangement to accompany a
well known editor of daily paper of
New York city to Europe. The time
arrived, and the editor wrote to him,
asking him if he was ready.
The farmer replied
" Sorry | can't go just now, for since
1 agreed to go with you to Europe, [
have been appointed trustee to an estate,
and if leave | am afraid the heirs will
get all the money"
The answer was sufficient, and the ed.
ltor went to Solferino alone.

RIVER NEWS.


The Ohio, opposite this port, continued to
swell, gradually yesterday, having risen dur
ing the twenty-four hours ending last even
ing some six or seven inches, making chan
nel-depth at this point of over ten feet. At
last accounts the river was stationary at
Pittsburg with seven feet in the channel.
Yesterday was less chilly and raw than
Saturday, and though still cool was pleasant
and bracing.
Business was only nominal yesterday on
the Landing, where, between Main and
Broadway, no more than twelve boats were
lying, and most of them observing the Sab

ACCIDENT TO THE STEAMER QUARRIER.--
By special dispatch from Cairo on Friday
evening, the Louisville Courier learns that
the A. W. Quarter, from Memphis, was
snagged in Bateman's Bend, Mississippi
River, which tore an ugly hole in her huh,
and greatly damaged her freight. Shereached
Cairo yesterday, where she discharged her
cargo under protest and went to Mound
City to be hauled out on the ways to be re-
paired. The Quarter is a small stern
wheeler, rather ancient and was recently
sold by Mr.. Redmon for $4,000.
The Mississippi River at last accounts was
slowly swelling at st. Louis, with over five
and half feet to Cairo. On the Lower
Rapids thirty inches are reported, and FIVE
feet in the channel below Keokuk.
The Upper Mississippi is rising slowly,
with FIVE and half feet full in the channel
to Cairo, and seven feet below that place.
The Illinois River is falling, with thirty
inches in the channel to Naples, and TWENTY

CAPTURE OF FUGITIVE SLAVES = Hasty
Method Of Disposing of RunG,oays.-A few
days ago, United States Deputy Marshal
Manson received information that a party of
six fugitive slaves, who had run away from
Mason County, KY, were residing about two
miles from Sandusky City, on the lakes shore.
Immediately conceiving the idea of surpris-
ing the negroes, he took with him posse of
five or six men, and on Friday evening
about eight o'clock visited their quarters.
They resisted the effort to arrest them, but
were finally overpowered by numbers and
carried to the railway, between two stations,
where they managed to stop the down train
by waving red light. They were followed
through the woods by some friends of the
negroes, but had boarded the train before
they arrived.
On Saturday afternoon the party reached
Cincinnati, and were Immediately taken be-
fore United States Commissioner Newhall,
by whom they were remanded to their mas
ters and taken to Kentucky, in the short
space Of less than twenty hours after their
arrest. The remarkable dispatch with which
this affair was transacted, reflects the highest
credit upon the officers engaged in it, and
we doubt not it will be remembered as one
OF the eras in their mundane existence.

M M, CINCINNATI, October l3.
In the PRESS Of Thursday, the llth inst,
an article appeared from the office of the
Grover 4 Baker Sewing-machine Company
in this city, asserting that all machines max
ing the same stitch, bought elsewhere, would
subject the purchaser to prosecution, inti-
mating that the Grover l. Baker machine
alone has right to the stitch. We would
most respectfully say that the Moore machine
makes the same stitch as the Grover 4 Baker
machine lin more perfect mannerl and is
made and sold under valid patents. We
would caution those desiring to buy good
sewing machine against such erroneous pub
locations. We will give written guarantee
to all who purchase our machines against
all loss from any prosecution. 4I4
The price of our machine is only $50, and
was recommended by the committee Of the
Mechanics Institute as better than Grover
& Bakers. H. @. BURTMAN,

The LEBANON ROAD Improvements Needed.
1t is hardly necessary to speak of the de-
plorable condition of the Lebanon-road,
from Hunts street to the corporate line, and
especially of that part in the vicinity of the
Montg gOmery-pike, as it has been source of
annoyance to travellers over it almost ever
since its dedication to the city. Some time
since, an advertisement for proposals for its
improvement appeared in the papers, but
nothing has yet been done. Should il be
allowed to pass without improvement till
winter, it viii be impassable.

HYMEN RAMPANT-Nine Brides in one Ho-

seems to be specially presided over by Hy-

on committing, or having just perpetrated,
matrimony, repair thither to pass the first
days of the honeymoon. AS an instance of

kansas, one from Ohio, one from Louisiana,
one from Missouri and one from Mississippi'
