A KENTUCK1AN IN AN EASY FIX

Col. H., returning from his northern
tour, encountered on his way to Cincin-
natl, a large number of Quakers, of both
sexes, returning from an anti-slavery eel
ebration at Cleveland, Ohio. AS the
cars moved ON, the Colonel became en-
gagged in conversation with one of the
Friends, and in its course the subject of
slavery naturally arose. The conversa-
tion increased in warmth and interest,
and enlisted the attention of every one
present-the Quakers asserting their utter
horror OF slavery, and the Southerner
maintaining, with equal feeling, it's JUS
tice and humanity. Stopping, finally at
a way station, new passenger entered
large, fine looking mulatto woman, hold
ing a baby in her arms. Looking around
to find seat, and observing one of the
few vacant occupied in part by Col. H,
she proceeded to seat herself. The Col.
with characteristic courtesy, made room
for an ample display of crinoline A
few moments had elapsed when the dark
skinned Venus turned suddenly to the
Colonel, and inquired:
Mister did you see my yaller trunk
put aboard this train?" 5
well, really, madam, rejoined the
Kentuckian, there are so many yellow
trunks that | am unable to say whether
the one which you allude to was put
aboard or not .-
This did not suffice our heroine. In
a moment or two-the Colonel having
declined an invitation to go out and
look up her yaller trunk-she arose sud-
denly, and, extending the infant African
in her arms in the direction of our friend
Mister will you hold this ere baby
while I go and see after that ere trunk
of mine?'
The Colonel, assuring her with
ineffable grace and dignity, that he
would be only too happy to oblige her,
proceeded to dandle in his arms the sooty
offspring ofmy lady, By this time mirth
pervaded every countenance, and an
efectual effort to suppress general litter
told of the amusement the picture af-
forded. Moments fed-the whistle
sounded-but Venus did not make her
appearance. Matters seemed coming to
crisis. ~
At last one of the venerable broad
brims, inspired bya benevolent compre-
hension of the burden the Kentuckian's S
politeness seemed to entail upon him,
and, perhaps, not unwilling to add to
the slightly malicious and excusable mer-
riment of his anti-Southern associates,
crept up to the seat occupied by the sub
ject of this anecdote, and whispered in a
tone audible to all:
Friend, art thou not afraid she will
leave it with thee?
Leave it with me, dear sir?' rejoined
the Colonel, turning around, so that he
could be distinctly heard by all present,
and dropping his voice to loud whisper;
Why that is just what should like.
It's worth hundred dollars iu Ken
lucky!
The few southerners present shouted
with laughter, and the discontinue of
the disciple of brotherly love and sly
fun was highly amusing.

The Lemon Slave Case.

This celebrated case is again brought
to public notice by it's coming up for ar
gument in the New York Court of Ap-
peals, where it has just been reached
The leading facts of the case are as fol-
lows:
In Novemper, 1850, Jonathan Lemon,
with his wife and eight slaves came to
New York from Virginia to seeka direct
passage to Texas, where they proposed
to settle. The presence Of the slaves
having been discovered, writ of habeas
corpus was obtained from Hon. Elisha.
Paine, then Justice of the Superior
Court, but since deceased, inquiring why
the negroes were deprived of liberty
Upon the return of the writ, and after a
full hearing Of the arguments presented
by Mr.. Lemons counsel, Judge Paine
ordered the slaves to be discharged, and
they were discharged accordingly
Mr.. Lemon at once carried the order to
the Superior Judge into the Supreme
Court, upon writ of certiorari, where,
after contest of years, the General Term
affirmed the original order. The case
was, in 1857 appealed to the present ju-
risdiction. E
The case was ably argued-by Mr.. o.
Connor' for plaintiff, (Lemon,) and by
Messrs Blunt and Evarts for the defence.
The argument was closed ON Wednesday
of last week, and the Court reserved its
decision 1t remains to be seen whether
that decision will cenferm to the "Dred
Scott opinions-whether this new step in
the advance Of the Slave Power will be
taken by our Northern Courts, in opposi-
ton to the almost universal practice of
similar tribunals even in the Slave States.
