DICK CRAPS LEAVE or ABSENCE.

Obtained Leave OF absence in 9 singular way.

Which is, by the way, Dicks most favorite Beat. .s
The night rainy, the streets in a Hood,
The bauuuetes were slippery and covered with mud

PoGr Dick padded ronnd in the mud and the rain
There's a bar the corner, he could not refrain .
From taking glass, and then two or three more,
Till lie presently found himself pretty well tore.'
About half past t-n the Sergeant came round
And raped on the corner but heard not sound;
So gazing around, on the corner spied Dick,
Holding to a iampnost and tight as a oficK
The Sergeant Lid low in the shade, for while,
And pretty soon Dick felt like tabag smile;
lie held on to The post and looked into the Bar
And wanted to venture, but thought it too far
For his pins were weak and his head was so light
He expected to stick to the lamppOst all night;
But he made bold dash and said "al' right my cove'

The Sergeant stepped over called Dick to the street,
And asked him if he called that walking his beat
Dick staggered around and tried TO yak straight,
But he certainly had most "conicnl gait"
Says he, ~ ook here, Sergeant F tell you about It,

Nv feet were so wet from walking on the damp rocks
That stepped in 10 put pair of dry socks"
The Sergeant told Dick that he'd best take nap,
So to go in and hang up his rattle and cap;
That after u sleep he would soon find relief,
And early next morning to "call on the Chief
Dick called on the Chief the next morning Mt ten

Dv1slDu1TY OF MATTER.--There appears to be
no limit to the degree of minuteness to which yar
ous forms of matter may be subdiVided. The
human hair varies in thickness from the onetwo-
hundredand-fftieth to the one-sx-hundredth part
of an inch. 1t is, however, massive cable in
comparison with some other fbres. The thread of
the silkworm is many times finer, being about the
one-two-thousandth of an inch. But this is moth
ing to the scnderness of the SPIDERS thread, which
has been found in some instances to be no more
than one-thirty- -housandth of an inch in diameter.
1t is difficult even to imagine quantities so small
and the best way to realize them to the mind is to
consider that thirty thousand such threads laid side
by side, would make riband only one inch broad.
The Gbres yielded By the vegetable Kingdom are
also of astonishing minuteness. Every fibre OF lax
is composed of bundle of other fibres, which
have been found to be about one-tWenty-hVe
hundredth of an inch in diameter Similar hbres
obtained from the pineapple plant, have been as
certained to be no more than one-ive-thousandtl
or even one-seven-thousandth of an inch in diane
ter: these, when twisted into threads, and woven
are said to form cloth of very beautiful silky tex
| ture.

CORONERrS INQUESTS.

THE ALLEGED MURDER OF THE FREE NEGRO,
WIN. SAuNDERs.-We yesterday mentioned that On
Tuesday free negro died, from the alleged effects
of a violent beating Inflicted upon him on Satur-
day night, on Liberty street, by Supernumerary
Policeman Michael Burns, with his club, the officer
being charged also with robbng him of SIS at the
same time. The negro was VIM. Saunders, ma
tive of Virginia, 40 years of age, and long resi-
dent of this CITY, Coroner Beach set about his in
guest yesterday. The post mortem examination,
by Drs. Drew and Deyron resulted in the discovery
that the deceased did not die of the beating he re-
ceived. Though the scalp was bruised, and moved
from the skull in one place. the brain was found to
be in perfectly healthy and uninjured condition.
1.-THE only beating was in the headl. But on ex-
animation of the lungs, was found that the upper
lobe of the right lung was solidifed by ypneumonia
and that to this only was death attributable. The

An ATRoCIouS LIE.-The New York Illustrated

Alabama in the act of tarring and feathering q
Yankee schoolmistress. The pretty girl, with her
head bowed down in sorrow and anguish, stands
before self,constituted jury, while the admins
traitor of justice empties over her head and shoul-
ers the tar and feathers. Such are the pubica-
tions which have brought about the present deplor
able state of feeling which has almost eliminated

Southern States. There is no conceivable crime
which a woman could commit in the South that
would bring upon her the vengeance of q mob

In consequence of the secession of Louisiana,
Judge McCaleb has resigned his seat as Judge of
the u S. District Court in this city. He has left
all the books and papers of the Court in charge of
the clerk of the Court Mr.. N. R. Jennings.
Mr. Jennings, holding his appointment, as he
does, from the Judge, must necessarily vacate
likewise, and would have vacated ere this per-
haps, but for his desire to do justice to all who
have business pending in the Court, by giving
them access to books and papers in which they
are interested.
Mr.. Lusher, the U. S. Commissioner, has also
resigned.

WHAT WILL RESULT FROM A DISMEhBERsfENE3 OF
THE UNIoN.-An old officer of the French army,
who saw the fall of the Empire in lS14, >" ana
who wears the st. Helena medal has addressed
q communication to the French organ in this coun-
try the Courier des Utats Basis, in which he pre-
diets the following results from the dismemberment
of the Union: H8
The United States, as they now stand, are re-
spected by all the nations of the earth; but If they
are to divide themselves into two or three confed-
erations, then would begin feciamanons rom al

As saw the fall of the French army in 1914 and

| than it had lost, can tell you what Wouta happen
| in America if the United States should separate
| and find themselves reduced to civil war. In the
first place, France would retake LOUISIANA, ae-
c0rdng to ancient treaties; spain Would reclaim
| Florida England would appropriate oregon ana

tection would retake the Territory of New Mexico,
| Texas and California and England might perhaps
keep California as an indemnity for the subsidies
furnished to the Mexican Government in this war

could take place, and by what right; that IS very

Hayti, are to the 9TH inst. The anniversary of
Soulouques downfall was celebrated with great
pomp on December o. on which occasion the
Pope's legate delivered an address. The Legisla

A law had also been passed granting liberal pen
siuns to retiring Presidents and other high ex-oiti-
GERS of the State. Markets were dull and over
stocked with all descriptions of goods. Coffee was
still held at high rates, and was in demand.
