Extraordinary Political Wager Kicking
Aeainst the Ilrleks.

One of the most singdlaf wagers we ever
heard Of was made in Chicago ON the day be-
fore the Municipal election in that city
Wentworth and Gurney, the opposing candi-
dates for the Mayorality. The bet was be-
tween q Water-street merchant and Ned
Osborne, of the fremont House, the largest
cigar and tobacco dealer in the city, and was
to the effect that if Wentworth was elected,
Osborne should have the privilege Of kicking
the Water-street merchant aforesaid, from
the fremont House to Springer-street The
day after the election, the merchant, having
lost, came to 0sborne's store and presented
his person to him for the contemplated kicks,
and demanded that Osborne should take the
stakes. Osborne had been training his right
leg all the day previous, and had armed his
foot with heavy cowhide boot, with soles as
thick as two clap-boards. The merchant
started up by the fremont, Osborne deliver
ing heavy kick as he started, but drew back
his foot with a spasmodic action and parox-
ysm of countenance absolutely pitiful.
He tried another one, but the loser finched
not, and kept leisurely on his way, undis-
turbed by the volley he had received The
result of this was worse than the first, and
he fairly curled up on the ground and howled
with pain. The merchant stopped and calm
ly inquired "Why don't you take the
stakes3n .'' i. 300
"What have you got in the basement of

wearing list slipper ever since.

A CAMANCHE HERo.-The Austin (Texas, J
IntelIigeneer gives description of the gun,
bow and arrows, trappings, &C., of an Indian
recently killed in Burnet County-a wild
Camanche-and adds:
"Mr. Hunter, of Burnet, describes his con-
duct and death as being brave in the highest
degree. A party of about ten had pursued
and overtaken the Indians, about the same
number, and at last intercepted them. The
Indians took to the timber. The whites at
tempted to pursue, when this Indian turned
on foot and faced the whole party. With
his gun to his shoulder he rushed at one
and another, although fred at all the time
with six-shooters, and succeeded in keeping
them at bay. He did not fire; and at last,
when shot several times, Mr.. H. says he got
down on his knees as quietly as a man going
to prayer, and making an effort to draw his
bow, fell dead, pierced with dozen bullets.
The party join in the belief that he met his
death to enable the balance of his band to
escape. Only one of the others was killed.
He was not tall, but was model of symme-
try, and displayed great power Of muscle.

SUDDEN DEATH OF AN ENGLISH BARON
A melancholy event occurred yesterday at
Welshpool, says the London Times of March
IA, which has created a most painful sensa-
tion, and which vividly recalls the circum-
stances of the sudden death of Justice Tai
fourd, a few years ago. Baron Watson had
arrived at Welshpool on Monday evening
and opened the assize commission. Yester-
day morning he attended divine service at
the parish church, and Immediately after
ward proceeded to open the court for the
trial ofprisoners. He had just concluded his
charge to the Grand Jury, which he deliv-
cred in firm and clear manner when he ap-
peared to be suddenly seized with illness.
Several medical gentlemen who happened to
be in the court Immediately rendered every
possible assistance, but without avail His
lordship was placed upon sofa-cushion and
quickly carried to his lodgings, which were
only few yards distant from the court. He
had scarcely arrived there when he ceased to
breathe. ...el ... .t "h A

A Substantial English Testimonial for
Cobden-e2O0,O 900 Subscribed In Three
Weeks.
From the first moment IL was riimored that
there was likely TO be commercial treaty
between England and France, and that Mr..
Golden had been mixed up in the affair, his
old friends and colleagues in the Anti-Corn
Law League made up their minds that he
ought not to go unrewarded by those who
would most benefit by it. The first promoter
of the movement is gentleman in Lam
cashire, who thought that the best way to
show his gratitude was to present Mr. Cob
den with large sum Of money. He COM
municated with others upon the subject, and
headed the list of subscriptions with the mu-
nifcent sum Of $4,000. The suggestion was
no sooner thrown out than 1t was eagerly
caught at, and in the space of three weeks
more than E40,00 has been subscribed, the
highest donation being $4,000, and the low
est f500. Such subscription, composed of
such large individual contributions, is with
out parallel in history, except in the instance
of Mr.. Pitt, and affords the most conclusive
evidence of the value that is set upon the
treaty by the manufacturing and trading
bodies. 1t is stated TO be the intention OF
several persons to set ON foot another sort of
testimonial, to which those who may have
the same desire, but not the same means as
they who have already given, may subscribe;
and from the enthusiasm with which the
proposition has been received there can be
but little doubt of the result.

The Clerical Politician aud Gen. jackson.
'When Gen. jackson was President of the
United States" said an aged laborer in the
Presidential garden, few years since, ''he
could tell an honest man from rogue when
first he saw him. remember that a clergy
man with q stiff white choker and an untar-
nished suit of black, called upon him one
morning when he was overlooking some work
that was performing in the garden, and re-
quested an appointment to some Office, say
ing, General, worked harder for your cleo
tion than many of those upon whom you
have already bestowed office" "You are a
minister of the Gospel2" said Old Hickory,
inquiringly. "Yes,' said the clergyman, n
was minister, but thought could do bet
ter by becoming a politician. So stumped
the district week days for you, and preached
for the Lord Sundays" Old Hickory, turn
ing short toward him, and looking him full in
the face, said, "By the Eternal, if you would
cheat the Lord you would cheat the country.
will have nothing to do with you, nor with
any like you. Good morning." and he walked
rapidly away, never shall forget the looks
of that hypocritical clergyman. Had the last
judgment been set and he before the great
white throne, doubt ifhe would have looked
more blank and chop-fallen.

Foxees, IncompatibIe with the scripture..

That was a novel, but not so bad an argu-
ment, which the mountain member urged in
the Kentucky Legislature. Y M
a few years ago, bill, proposing pre-
MUM on fox-scalps, was under discussion.
1t had been somewhat roughly handled in
debate by members from the more populous
regions, where foxes were scarce, and Mr..
L., from one of the mountain counties
rose to reply. give only his peroration:
"And are we, Mr.. Speaker-we of the
mountain regions-not only to witness the
annual destruction of our crops but actually
to be deprived by these varmints of the con-
ISOLATION of religiong tr. .d. H.t.'.
This woke the House up, and set it agape
for an explanation. He continued
"You know, Mr.. Speaker, that we live in a
rough country; that your fancy churches
your Presbyterians and Episcopalians--never
send preachers among us. We depend for the
Gospel upon the circuit-riders of the Meth
odist Church; and, sir, every body knows
that they can not be induced to travel where
there are no chickens and that chickens can
not be raised where foxes aboundP
The argument was unanswerable, and the
bill became law. .. '. .' q.

A STAGE COACH WITH THE MAILS AND BAG
GAGE ENTIRELY DESTROYED BY FIRE.-A few
days since the coach carrying the mail from
Lock Haven to Tyrone, Penn, took fire and
was entirely consumed, together with the
mails and the baggage belonging to the pas
sengers; the accident occurring through the
negligence of one of the passengers in throw
ing a lighted match into the straw in the
bottom of the coach. In an instant every
with difficulty that the passengers escaped
from the stage unhurt; while to make the
matter worse, the horses took fright and ran.
Before they could be stopped the coach was
SO much burnt that neither mails nor baggage
could be saved. 1t was fortunate that no
ladies were on board, as they could not have
been rescued-the flames spread so rapidly.

The Two Mexican Prize steamers LiDeled

Henry G. Miller, Esq, United States Dis
trict Attorney, has laid before the United
States District Court, in Admiralty, petitions
of libel against the steamers General Mira
mon and Marquis de Ia HdbdRd; each in the
name of the United States, and of Commo-
dore Thomas Turner and the officers and
crew of the United States sloop-of-war Sara
toga. The general charge against the two
steamers is that Of piratical aggression. The
specifications are rehearsals Of the different
incidents which led to the pursuit and cap
ture of the two steamers near Vera Cruz,
with all which incidents the public are suffi-
GENTLY familiar. 1t is highly probable that
the libels will be made good upon trial. In
this event, the con6scatiOn will result hand
somely for Commodore Turner and the Off
GERS and crew of the SaratogG-they being
entitled to one-half the value of the prizes,
and it being stated that the fitting out of the
two steamers at Havana cost at least $500, 900.
Commodore Marin, who had the two steam
ers under his charge, has been released on
bail of $4,000, before the United States Cir
cult Court. The officers and crews still re-
main prisoners of war in the parish prison.

throats. ....l ..r.
The Crescent of a late date has the follow
ing concerning the one hundred and twenty
FIVE prisoners captured near Vera Cruz by
the Saratoga, and taken to New Orleans
OF the prisoners taken with these steamers,
(the General MirGmon and the Marquis de Ia
HdbaHd,) about one hundred and twenty-five
have been lodged in the parish prison Of this
city and parish for safe keeping. They are
as wicked and piratical looking set Of men
as were ever seen together in this city or its
vicinity.
Among these United States prisoners of
war are two men upon whom the State of
Louisiana has prior and very heavy claims.
Both arc accused of murder in this city, and
both, at the time of the murders, escaped
from the country. H.H
One is Antonio Carcano, a Spaniard
Some years ago he stabbed and killed an old
sailor in cofTee-house on Gallatin-street
He was chased by Lieutenant Freumax and
other police officers, so far down as the old
paper-mill in the Third District was shot at
several times, and wounded in one of his
legs, and still managed to escape into the
swamp, and to get off to Havana. AT Havana
he killed man and fed to Port-au-Prince, in
Hayti. After other wanderings and adven-
lures, he returns to this city, United States
prisoner of war, as above mentioned.
The other distinguished prisoner is a man
whose brother was hung, and another man
hung, and whose other brother was sent to
the penitentiary, all for murder in this city,
some years ago; and he himself would have
been hung had he not escaped. This man is
Louis Delisle. He and his brothers Antonio
and Henry, and man named Adam, robbed
the house Of Mr.. Chevillon, in the Third Dis
trict, taking large sum of money, and cut
ting the throat Of slave girl to keep her
quiet. Antonio Delisle and Adam were
hung in front of the parish prison, the last
public execution that took place in this city;
Henry Delisle was sent to the penitentiary as
an accessory to the robbery and murder.
This newly arrived Louis Delisle is said to
have had the razor in his pocket, and TO have
held the girl while his brother Antonio took
the razor from the pocket and cut the girls
throat. ..r.. ~.

The Tender Passion in n Poor-house- "A
Couple of Venerable Paupers Deprived
ofC0nnubiaI Bliss. ..

In the Cohasset (Mass.) poor-house there
lives at this time an aged pauper, who has
attained to the somewhat remarkable age of
eighty-six years, and in the same establish
ment lives an antiquated dame, who is his
junior by eight summers. Notwithstanding
the freshness with which so many winters
have naturally invested this venerable cou-
pie, they still retain sufficient warmth Of
affection to institute deep reciprocal attach
ment, and the aged pair are warmly desirous
even at their late day, Of perpetrsting mat
rimony. But the lady being resident of
the town Of Hull, which pays her board to
Cohasset, and the old gentleman belonging
to Cohasset, difficulty has arisen in their
case, and the course Of their true love has
been crossed in its march by the town of
Cohassets shutting down, ON the ground
that if their mutual desire is consummated
both of them will come upon that town for
support, and the subsidy from Hull be lost.
The parties warmly plead their desire, but
the Selectmen are inexorable, and il is most
likely that their.nuptials will be indefinitely
postponed. n

MANNERs.-The beginning of good manners
is selfrespect Necessity is the law of all
who are not selfpossessed. Those who are
not self-possessed obtrude and pain us. Some
men appear to feel that they belong to a pa
riah caste. They bend and apologize, and
walk through life with timid step, as we
sometimes dream that we are in well-dressed
company without any coat. They act as if
they suffered from some mortifying circum-
stances; but the hero or gentleman should be
always at home where he is, and look COM
Portable in every situation.-R. W. Emerson.
