plantations:
From tn. Hanau Guardian Of March IA, 1850.

on Sunday tMarch III, having In charge brigsntne,
which was boarded by Capt Stewart In lat. "a ~ NJ
len 100 16 w. Name unknown. Sail set, with nal,
yards and running rigging all cut, and anchors ana
chains taken away; hull apparently American built,
with two American eDsigns and eagle painted on tne
stern; had slave desk throughout, with many CASKS
of water and tierces OF rice under. Had no doubt
landed cargo Of slaves lately, and then been soan-
been taken to the quarantine ground TO be fumgated
Subsequent examinations, as well as the envelope Of
lister directed to Capt. Temple at Lisbon which was
found in nook or Tevice, shows that the vessel
above described the Frances Ellen. On reference
to the Marine Register appears that vessel Of that
name 277 tuns burden was built at Rockland, Me-, in
1854, and that Temple wa, master, A. e. Knowles
builder and Mansfield agent, at the time she came
under the cognizance of the Underwriters at New
York. The deck named in the above article was not
prominent one. The vessel was generally in fine con-
dition and good repair. Her hull was panied as nearly
as possible the color of water in repose. she now
lies in the harbor subject TO the decree Of the Court OF
Admiralty as derelict. The spot where she was
picked up is about 80 miles east from the extremity Of
the Peninsula of Florida and about $50 miles north of
the coast of Cuba She could havebsen alb sndoned
on the Florida coast because she could not have dfed
across the Gulf Streams but, cut loose within III to
50 miles east of Havana che would have been likely to
have drted northssstery toward the spot where she
was found at the rate Of three or four miles per hour

A n P-ECULIARITIEs.

The Japanese, during their stay at the In
ternational hotel, have exhibited.a great many
peculiarities, which may be interesting to many
readers, and, we believe, have not been told
heretofore. They have all shown themselves
very easily pleased, and exceedingly well bred.
When asked to try some dish new to them
they do SO; if they like it, they continue eat
ing, expressing themselves pleased; if not,
they taste no more, but never express dislike.
The Ambassadors are very dignifed, and COM
mand respect The interior officers never en-
ter their apartments without bowling, and the
servants invariably drop upon the knee. ~
They are all very light eaters, but they take
their meals very quickly; almost everything
they do slowly, but eating with them is a rap
id operation. The subordinates eat nothing
but rice, but the dignitaries are fond of sweet
meats, cakes, confectionaries of all kinds, and
sauces. None Of them eat any meat, except
that the dignitaries take a little chicken, and
none of them use either milk or butter. They
drink both tea and coffee, and are no sooner
through with their meals, than they go to
smoking their wild tobacco in their small
pipes.
They are all very apt at learning anything,
the manner of folding napkins artistlcally, for
instance-which for any other species of the
genus homo would require an apprenticeship
of a day or two-the Japanese learn by seeing
it done once. Their powers of imitation are
consequently very great, and for any kind of
manipulation apter scholars could not possibly
be anywhere found. They learn to write the
English letters in a few minutes, and can copy
anything they see. The faculty of construc-
t~iveness, indeed, seems to be a national devel-t
opment, as also a certain serene good humor,
which is indicated by their universally fat,
plump, smiling, round faces, Another nation
al characteristic seems to be their inquisitive-
ness. There is hardly anything that escapes
them; about our government, laws, customs,
manufactures, country aand SO on, they are
never done asking questions. At the Interna-
tional they were very curious to understand
the relations between Mr.. Haley and his en-
ployees; what sort of government was estab-
lished there how Mr.. Haley could have ev-
erything attended to so well and how he could
exercise SO complete a control, unless he was
a sort of prince or master. And it is almost
unnecessary to add, they were surprised at
much which they learned in regard to the
American people, and strange. will be the ac-
counts which they will carry home of the
great nation which has no princes and no m
peror.-Sam Francisco Times, Apra 2. assv s

WATCH THY FATHER.

The Quakers are in the main, as every one
knows a thrifty, kind-hearted, and undoubted-
ly honest people; but in some of them, even
as among the "world's honest people," love of
filthy lucre will predominant. In one of their
farming communities lived Friend Benjamin
and his son. 1t was their custom to buy up
cattle to fatten for sale. One day, Benjamin,
junior, had selected a choice portion of stock
from a passing droyer, and was about to buy,
when Benjamin, senior, came along.
-"Father, I am about to buy these cattle;
what does thee think of them?" t
eWhat does he ask? So much? I guess
thee'n get them for lesr; offer him s., and
wait till morning if he don't trade.p Ms
Fillal Ben assented-made an offer in vain
homo with the old gentleman, slept
next morning, after caring for the stock,
mounted his herse to try again to buy the cat
tie. But on the way he met Benjamin, senior,
returning ahomeward with the whole herd in
question. Benjamin, senior, was wealthy as
well as smart-he had taken an early start, and
the lot. -
"Thee will let me have my portion will
thee not ?" asked flial Ben. ~.i5iiHfI4 81
"No, sonny, of course not; I've bought the
whole-want 'em all" AMI YgAx0fsST1 :
"What ! Isn't that a hard trick to play thy

"Ah, Benny" said pater familias, repro

THE QUAKER N H PUGUL1sT--A gen.
uine bully called upon a :"Friend" %avowedly to
thrash him.
"Friend," said the Quaker, knocking down
the visitors fists, "before thou proceedest to
chastize me, wilt thou not take some dinner?"
The bully was a glutton, and at once con-
sented, washing down the solids with libations
of strong ale. He rose up again to fulfill his
original errand.
@Friend," said the Quaker, "wilt thou not
first take some punch. The bully, now stag
gering attempted to thrash his entertainer.
"But quoth the Quaker, 'friend, wilt thou
not take a pipe?" -,-,-
This hospitable offer was accepted, and the
bully, utterly weak staggered across the room
to chastise the Quaker. The latter, opening
the window and pulling the bully towards ii,
thus addressed him
"Friend, thou earnest here not to be pacifed;
I gave thee meat offering, but that did not as
suage thy rage; I gave thee a drink offering,
still thou vert beside myself; I gave thee a
burnt offering, neither did that suffice; and

And with that he heaved him out of the
window. That suficed him. sst

Doe.-The Cornwall &C.. wa Eeeholder of
April 18th records the following as having oc-
CURED on the Tuesday previous: as,s =. Il
on the South Branch, a few miles from town,
his attention was attracted by the barking of
a bullterrier dog, and on looking after him,
he discovered the dog engaged in a fight with
an enormous eagle. Selling a stick he ran to
the assistance Of the terrier, who was receiving
the worst of it from the eagle. On approach
ing, the eagle turned upon his new adversary,
and in all probability would have overcome
him, had not the faithful dog came back to
b isrescueand renewed the fight. After a short
scufle with his two adversaries, he was dis
patched, and the young farmer carried his car
cass home as a trophy of success He, measur-
ed nine feet from wing to wing"

na.A somewhat yerdant-looking individual
called upon a jeweller in Montreal, and stated
that he had managed to accumulate, by hard
labcrifor the past few years, some seyenty-fye
dollars, that he wished to invest it in some
thing whereby he might make money a little
faster ; and he had concluded to take some of
his stock and peddle it out. The jewelier Sc
lected what would sell readily, and, the new
peddlef started cut on his first He was abb
sent but few days, when he returned, bought as
mnch again as before, and started on his sec

creased his stock. He succeeded so well, and
accumulated SO fast, that the jeweller one day
asked him what profit he obtained on what he
asWell,, I put on bout five per cent"
The jeweller thought that a very small prof
