When there, he said to his master that his mis-

GELS to the house which she wanted twenty.six
dollars to pay for. The master noticed that the
boy was dressed mp In new clothes, but suspected

the mistress returned home, the female servants

owner was too accurate, and Hays took him in

His baggage could not be found, and was doubt

MAyoRAL JURISDICTION IN MOBILE.

For two or three years past Mayor Withers, of
Mobile, has been welding his authority as mon
arch of the Police Court, with strong and I'M
sparing, and as many believe, with rather high
hand. Woe was it to any party accused before
the august tribunal of his judgment seat, for the
whole benefit of his ultra construction of the law
was meted out to the culprit, and not tempered by
the least infusion of the divine quality of mercy.
The accused, no matter what the offense or the
accusation, were debarred the privilege of coun-
sci to interpret their to the ear of justice in
legal and forcible manner, for His Honor had de-
cided that the Police Court (being the same as a
Recorders Court in New 0rleans) had no bar,
though it had bench, and that before him no
lawyer should appear, whether the prisoner be in
capacitated for the task Of defending himself by
being deaf and dumb physically, or construetively
SO, to all intents and purposes of defence, by
ignorance, dfidence, confusion of IDEAS or mental
incapacty.
In himself his Honor combined all the functions
ofbench bar and jury, and from his decisions there
was no more appeal than from the laws of the
Modes and Persians. If lawyer appeared before
him in behalf of any accused person, he was curty
told that he might at once disappear, for he could
have nothing to do with the case, and SO the mem.
bers of the bar generally long since gave up any at
tempt at Police Court practice But his Honor was
destined to meet with customer as plucky and de-
termined himself for having CALLED the feelings of
Ben Lane Posey, Esq, fighting member fthe Mo-
bile bar, by summarily forbidding his appearance
in case forwhich he was retained, that gentleman
Immediately petitioned the Circuit Court for writ
of n.andaaaus, commanding his Honor to admit
the relator to practice before him in his Police
| Court, as is done elsewhere.
Judge Rapier, of the Circuit Court, has had
the matter under advisement for several days. and
it is announced by the press of the city that his
decision will be given to-day. If the case is de-
cided in favor of the reator, of course the decision
will throw the Mayors Court open to all members
of the Mobile bar who may have occasion to prac-
tce therein. The matter appears to be exciting
an interest in that city even more general and
absorbing than the Heenan Us. Sayers :. misunder-
standing" is in New York. The chances appear
to be in favor of the lawyer and adverse to the
Mayor, for the Constitution of Alabama as quoted,
seems to be explicit on the mooted point of legal
privilege. Nous ue,Tons.

Immortal Mind thy burning torch
A deathless halo filings
Around the Prophets crucifed,
And Sybaritio Kings;
We chant, to-day, a pecan song
To thy diyinest flashes
To our imperishable one,
The Mill Boy of the Slashes 5s, 4z8
The fervid breast Of Nature poured
Its deluge to his sips,
The bee-winged breezes charmed anew
Hymettus to his lips, s.. .-sa,--s.
Till, like cleaving peak, his thoughts
To sunward regions ran.
And God beheld beneath his throne
A northumberland Nan.
His lispings fell like yesper dews
Upon the alien leaves,
Waking their inspirations through
The palpitating sheaves;
Then from those clarion wood-notes wild,h
Amounted dreams upsprung,
Wedding the lightning Of the brain
To the thunder of the tongue!
We've have seen him in the pride
OF his colossal youth,
We've have heard his vestal VOWS
To the Eternal Truth;
We've have felt our spirits quail,
Our very beings bow, zl.sz5.r..
When the supernal tempests shook
That monumental brow! g@s
And never yet, since morning stars
Sang over Galilee, $500
Have nations seen the peer of this
Apostle of the free!

That smites the despot down,
And girds the br0ws of Justice with
An undisheveled crown.

On Marathonian hills;
Why bold Bozzari's launched his flag
Upon the gulf of night, 4g
And hurled living thunderbolt
Against the Ottomite!
The pillars Of the Union quaked
Before discordant shocks,
When Heaven had sent its liberal SHOWS
Upon his honored locks;
Though all the Angels beckoned him,
His conquering arm uprose,
And wrenched his country's flag away
From its rebellious foes.
Then with perennial wreaths
His matchless mind had wrought,
His ladened bark went drifting on
To find the Kings of Thought
And though the stately vessel long
Hath left its earthly strand,
The helmsman's voice reechoes back
From out the Phantom Land.
Live, Patriot live! while ocean chafe

While mailed Orion flames his plume
Mid bright-batailioned stars;

GRAND TRUNK RAILROAD OF CANADA.

We call attention to the advertisement in this
days issue of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada.
This gigantic line of Railway is ll00 miles in
length and was constructed at cost of $50 900 000
extending from Detroit, Mich, to Portland, Me-
the traveller passes through the principal towns of
Western Canada.
The majestic scenery of the Niagara Falls ID the
first point of interest this great international
route; from thence the passengers can take the
steamer or rail to Montreal, Quebec, Portland,
White Mountains and Saratoga.
For pleasure travel this route presents piano.
rama Of natural scenery that has no parallel on
either continent AT Montreal, the Grand Trunk
Company has constructed o bridge across the river
st. Lawrence, two and one half miles in length, at
a cost of $4,000 900. This wonderful structure has
attracted the attention of sayans of both the Old
and the New World.
Since its completion official intelligence has been
received from England that the Prince of Wales
will visit the Canadas and the United States early
in the summer. The object Of his visit will be to
celebrate the completion of this great marvel of
science, and to preside over its opening. His
advent into the Provinces as we are informed by
our English exchanges, will be attended with royal
honors. A fleet of steamers will accompany his
| Highness on the occasion of his visit to this
| country When 1t is borne IN mlnd that the
Grand Trunk Railway of Canada is destined to
| be the shortest carrying route between the
South Western States and Europe-the prinei-
pal mart for Southern productive doubt not
that many of our tourists, who are seeking North
ern routes of travel will be DESTROYS OF inquiring
into the advantages which it presents, both as
regards travel and its facilities for transportation
| In connection with the line of railway, frst-class
ocean steamers leave Quebec weekly, and one
chartered by the Government for the mail service
between the Western States and Europe. Already
| large quantities Of produce from Cincinnati and
Chicago, and shipments of cotton from Memphis
have taken this route for Liverpool.
Tickets via rail are to be had at the office Of the
New Orleans, jackson and Great Northeren Rail
road, and by river at the Office Of the st. Louis
