WASHINGTON, May 29th.--Recently John
noan, Esq. presented to the circuit court. the
petition of Daniel Breed, for a writ Of habeas
corpus to Marshall Lamon, for the discharge
OF a cOiord man.cialmea by a citizen OF Mary
land. as his slave on the ground that said al
legged fugitive is illegally detained, and the re-
>traint and imprisonment are not authorized
by the fugitive slave law, Of 1850. In other
words that the law does not apply to the
District of Columbia.
Mr.. Doan to-day continued his argument to
show the writ could not be refused. The
'ourt had previously intlmated they would not
grant the prayer, and to-day said an appeal
'ould be taken to the supreme court of the
1nited States or refused just as we'll as on
he writ
Further argument will be heard tomorrow. /
The fugitive slave law continues to be en-
orced. During this month about so slaves /
lave been returned to their claimants.

sensibilities, and the will Further diviS on
and subdivisions are made, embracing an al
most endless list Of the various phases of thought
feelings desires, &c. But this system of analysis,
embracing so many particular phases of
thought, feeling, and passion, arising appar-
emily without law or order, seems calculated
rather to perplex, than aid the teacher. We
shall not therefore, adopt it. The teacher
should seek the formation Of correct mental
habits, s,-correct mental and moral character
The elementary sounds of our language are
comparatively few, yet in their combination
they fill our voca buary. The elements known
to the chemist are also few, yet, in their COM
binations they compose nearly all the mater-
al substances known to US.
So also are the elements of our mental cha
acter few, comparatively. 1t would seem
that if system based upon them could be
adopted, it wo,ld aid materially the study of
the manifestation of the minds, and be of great
value. 1t is frequently observed fact, that as
the possessory, or acquisitive element of man s
character is strengthened, his tsensbiitieS to
that influence are increased The same prin-
ciple holds good ia regard to other elements
of character
The system of analysis adopted by phrenol-
ogists comes nearest to such system by ele-
ments of any other known 1t has the ad-
vantage of comparative simplicity, and direct
ness, and seems to be in accordance with ma
ture. We shall therefore, make use of it.
But in doing so we do no. affirm the truth
of all that ia claimed for it by its advocates
Some object that Sucn system present coc-
triDe of man and his relations contrary to the
scriptures We think if rightly understood,
it not only harmonizes with them, but as it
aids man in obtaining better knowledge of
himself, consequently of his needs, it aids very
much in correct understanding and use of
them.
Mans internal experience is made mp Of
thoughts, feelings, promptings, suggestions,
g., which are characterized, as either good or
bad, and when refused to their spiritual source,
those term good are attributes to Cop, and
those of an opposite character to the devil
Now if these are referred to a source external
to ourselves, it must be admitted, we must
have faculties or sen.e through Which they
are received, or deny our personality. Thus
one class of persons may habitually refer to
the spiritual source, the other only to the ac-
tion of the faculties and still, there be no real
difference of opinion
We may treat further of objections to this
system hereafter. o. j. G.

Perhaps the expulsion of Southern blood ac.
counts for this feature. If there is any person
SO bralnless as TO suppose all the gentlemen OF
America are South, let them step into the
gallery few moments and become convinced
of their error. If we were to gather lilies
from the valley it would be hard to say to
one, thou excelest them all but while we
amuSe ourselves by looking around and in i'm
agination compare one and another with the
memory of Washington, asking who, by blend
ing wisdom, decision, and gentleness with
goodness, are nearest like him, our eye falls
upon one, although pale and sckly-we invol-
UNFAIRLY exclaim, our Wilmot. We pause a
moment to shed tear and heave a sigh over
the memory of departed ones Douglas and
a Baker we miss them here. Leaving the
Senate, we pass over to the House of Repre-.
sentativeS we expect to see the same confus
ion, and hear the same noise and hustle as Of
old. The same walls are there, the same seats
and desks, the same design over their heads,
the same floor beneath their feet but what a
change | do no. mean the new dressing
given the galleries since they were occupied
by the New York Seventh Regiment. The
House was SO quiet perhaps they are follow
ing the fashion. Be quiet" Oh the South
ern blood has sped away from there also be-
sides there is one in the Speakers chair whose
voice might awe nation, and whose wisdom
might rule the universe. Pennsylvania may
well be proud Of her soldiers and her states
men. A lady not long since, asked me how it
was that Pennsylvania had so many noble, brave,
and wise men. ] replied to her in the Ian
guage of the "womao of Sparta to the woman
of Athens =" 1t takes Pennsylvania mothers
to raise noble men, But you have James
Buchanan" Yes, so heaven itself has had its
fallen angels. But there was some apology to
be offered for James Buchanan !; he is an old
bachelor, and had forgotten the counsels Of his
mother. 1t is to be hoped that in future our
people will promote married men to their
offices. NJ l.. Z.

it was Eddie's drum. l asked permission to
go to his assistance. The officer hesitated,
saying that the orders were to march in twen-
ty minutes. l promised to be back in that
time, and he consented. Immediately started
down the hill through the thick underground,
and upon reaching the valley | followed the
sound of the drum, and soon found him seated
upon the ground, his back leaning against the
trunk Of fallen tree, while his drum hung
upon bush in front of him, reaching nearly
to the ground. As soon as he discovered me

Oh, Corporal, am so glad to see you !

my canteen, which was empty. Immediately

MAXIM FROM THE PoPE.-One writes from
Rome, among other pleasing things, that re-

their superior, went to pay their homage to
the Holy Father, one of the company, when
s. Lad rlce. we'd the bessing ofsthe FA her of
the Faithful still fingered on her knees before
the Pontif When asked why she did not
arise, she answered.
If | dared, | would prefer request"
Do not hesitate" said the Holy Father.
But still the young woman fOrbore.
ASK freely" said the Pope, most encour-
agingly.
Then" said the young woman, if | may
take such liberty, | would ask from your
Holiness some maxim by which all my life may
be governed"
The Holy Father thought for moment,
and then laying his hand on her head said
Perform every one of your future actions,
my dear child, as if that action were to be the
last Of your life."

MODEL SENTINEL.-An anecdote is related
of Que of the citizen soldiers in the expedition
OF. the Macpherson Blues against the insurgents
in 1894. which is worthy Of being published
as it NAV be of service to some Of the wealthy
soldiers in our own ranks The person referred
to was German by birth, of the name Of
Koch, and was well known in his day, as a
large outdoor underwater. He died some
twenty years since in Paris, whittier he had
gone for the benefit of the climate, leaving a
fortune estimated at one million dollars. Mr.
Koch, then young man, was private IN the
Macpherson Blues 1t fell to his lot one night
to be stationed sentinel over baggage wagon
The weather was cold raw, stormy and wet
This set the sentinel musing. After remaining
on post half an hour, be was heard calling lus
tily -" Corporal of der Gartz ! Corporal of
der Gartz !" The corporal came, aud inquired
what was wanting. Koch wished to be reliev
ed for few minuts, having something to say
to Macpherson He was gratified, and in
few minutes stood in the presence of the gen.
eral "Well, Mr. Koch what is your pleas
ure ?" asked Macpherson. Why general, l
wish to know what may be der value of dat
wagon over which l am shentinel ?"-" How
should | know Koch ?" We'll, something
approximations to be Particular" A
thousand dollars, perhaps" Very we'll, Gen
eraI Macpherson, | write scheck for der
money, and den | will go to BETS" (bed.)

The FIFTH CoM8iANDMENr.-An old school
master said one day to minister who had
come to examine his school:
=" believe the children know the Catechism
word for word"
" But do they understand it T.? that is the
question" asked the minister.
The Schoolmaster bowed respectfully and the
examination began. ..
A little boy had repeated the fifth command
ment, Honor thy father and thy mother, I"
and he was requested to explain it.
Instead Of trying to do it, the little boy,
with his face covered with bushes, said, a-
most in a whisper
Yesterday l showed some strange gentle
man over the hill. The sharp stones cut my
feet, and the gentleman saw they were bleed
ing, and gave me some money to buy me shoes.
| gave the money to my mother; for she had
no shoes either, and hought I could go bare
foot better than she could''

DoUBL1NG-UP A JUDGE.-Ottiwell Wood, b
witness in a case at the assizes, on being sworn,
was asked his name, and gave it. The judge,
puzzled with the unusual Christian name, which
probably be had only imperfectly heard, re-
quested the witness to repeat it, which was
done with no better success and the judge
somewhat testify said Have the goodness
to spell your name, sir" The witness respond
ed as follows 80 double T, l double ., E
double L, double U, double o, D." This
doubling upon the judge completely overcame
his lordsbip, and he gave up all efforts to spell
the name in sheer despair "

The RARITY OF GENTLEMEN.-Perhaps gen
Henen are rarer persouages than some of US
think. Which of us can point to many such
in his circle men whose aims are generous,
whose truth is constant-and not only constant
in kind, but elevated in degree-whose want
of meanness makes them simple who can look
the world honestly in the face, with an equal
manly sympathy for the great and the small
We all know hundred whose coats are well
made, and score who have excellent manners,
and one or two happy beings who are what
they call inner circle, and have shot into the
center and bulls eye of fashion but OF gen
Aemen, how many? Let US take little scrap
of paper, and each make out his list THacE-

The RAILWAY QUEEN.-A lady of Pennsyl,
vauia, who has received the cognomen Of The
Railway Queen, is in the habit of giving fine
parties On one of these occasions, wishing
to show off a little before the magnates, her
majesty called on one of the servants, when
the following dialogue occurred john"
said her majesty. Yes, maam," said the
servant Bring me bucket" said the queen
Yes, ma'am." John, as in duty bound, in
stantly disappeared. On bis way down to the
kitchen he began to wonder what her majesty
could want with bucket and, wondering
whether he could not have been mistaken, con-
suited the other servants on the subject. 1t
was agreed, however, that her wishes should
be complied with and bucket was accord.
ingly brought out John filed it with water,
carried it up stairs and marching through the
crowd in the drawing room, much to the as
tonishment of all present, placed it at her maj
esty'S feet. Here it is, ma'am." "What is
this, sir 2" "The bucket, ma'am, the bucket"
Oh, you stupid fellow" said her majesty, it
was not bucket OF water / wanted it was
bucket O. flowers" Her majesty, it is need
less to say, had asked for bouquet.

THE GREAT WALL.

Another days journey brought US to Cha
taon-a hamlet at the foot efthe Great WALL
The road for the last fifteen miles had been
so bad that we were obliged to leave our hor-
Ses at Naukan, hirjDg in their places Tarter
ponies Nothing less Surefooted than these
shaggy. hardy little beasts could have carried
US through those rugged mountain paths, which
we would have done on foot, but that one
miles march over the sharp rock which forms
the pavement would have left US shoeless.
At daybreak on the following morning we
climbed the highest peak of the mountain
range, and there, standing on the top of the
great wall, reflected upon the stupendous folly
of this wonderful work of human industry,
which is said to have cost the country two
hundred thousand lives from sheer physical
exhaustion. The wall, which is built of stone
and brick. is twenty feet high and fftea broad.
surmounted by double parapet-loop hOled on
the north side. As far as the eye can follow
the mountain range it winds over the ridges Of
the preciptouS black rocks like a gigantic
serpent crawling along, and with its breath
poisoning all around for, turn where you
will, nothing meets the view but the deSolate,
dreary track of rock, unrelieved by blade OF
grass or tuft of moss, and huge boulders

was the whim of a tyrant to build a wall
where nature had already bailt q barrier far
more effectual than anything that human art
could construct However, there it remains,
after a laps of nearly two thousand years--a
monument of the cruel folly of one man, and
the patient industry and sufferings of many
thousands.
Having made an abortive attempt at a
sketch, and tried in vain to discover one re-
deeming feature in this vast scene of desola-
ton, | secured my brick, and descending to
the pass, remonnted to proceed homeward,-
Our guard could hardly believe his senses
certainly he doubted ours. When at Nankan
mine host imputed what we were going to the
Great Wall for Our honest answer met
with no credit. e1there not walls every
where Was not the wall of Pekin much
better worth looking at ? And then as for
shooting, why come so far for game when it
could be bought in the market at our very
doors His impression evidently was that We
had some sinister project in view but when
we returned with the brick the good man sim
ply burst out laughing, and set US down for
couple Of harmless manacs
