The Spirit Of Oppression.

From the Cincinnati Commercial, 16th-1
There WIS shameful aud most deplorable
riot in the Thirteenth Ward last night. The
houses of negroes were stoned, . number OF
windows being broken and doors battered
The negro church on Sixth street Was stoned,
and several shots we're fired We did not
hear that any persons we're seriously hurt, but
the wonder is they we're not. The city is in
debted to the forbearance Of the unottending
negroes, whose houses we're assaulted, for
the fact that the riot was not made = bloody
one. 1t Is imperatiyely necessary that this
rioting should be stopped If It continues
any longer there Is no telling hoE far it may

MISCELLANY.
How to get Great Mans Autograph.

1t is well know that, toward the latter years
OF the late Duke of Wellington's life, il was
next to impossible to coax or wheedle his au-
tograph out of him. All the stratagems used
to get reply from him TO letters failed. He
either did not answer them at all, or directed
his private secretary TO do so, and thus the
famous signature of wellington" became a
rarity highly priced by collectors. A lady who
had an album garnshed with thu autographs
OF most of the great men of the day, but who
wanted that of the "Gieat Captain" mention
ed her distress to the late Mr.. H., and a
few days after he, to her great surprise and
pleasure, brought her note from under the
hand of the victor of Waterloo. 1t ran
thus
"Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington
never ordered pair of braces of the Messrs.
Simpkin. If f. NJ. the Duke of Wellington
had ordered the articles he could not forget it.
+. M. the Duke OF Wellington always pays
for his braces"
This was very odd document for lady's
album, but its authenticity was undoubted. and
1t therefore found the best place in the inter
esting collection. The way in which this sim
gular note was elected was this: Mr.. H
filled up one of the Bankruptcy Court forms,
and signed it,inlorming the Duke that in wind
ing up the affairs of Messrs. Simpkin he 1.-THE
assignee) found on their books the sum of is.
Cd, due by his grace for a pair Of braces, which
he requested the Duke would Immediately
pay or have paid. Mr.. H-'s ruse was
founded on pure fiction. but it succeeded; and
now in certain lady's album may be seen the
curious note of which we have given a copy.

CATERING SPoNGEs.-The sponge business
Is largely persued at the Bahama Islands,
The exports of this article amount annually to
about S200O00. 1t is almost entirely the
growth of the last 20 years. During that Pc
riod the article has nearly quadrupled in value,
and has been applied TO great variety of new
purposes, especially in France. The sponge
Is compressed in powerful presses and sacked
like cotton.-It is assorted and graded, sam
pies being fastened to each package to show
the quality. sIe
1t Is fished or raked, or grappled up from
the clean sandy bottom at the depth OF twen-
ty, forty, and even sixty feet, aud often far
out from the shore. The water is so transpar-
ent, that the growing sponge is visible on the
bottom.
The sponge is the covering, the habitation.
Of the lowest order of animated nature. In
deed, organization can hardly be detected In
the animal.
The sponge, when first taken from the wa
ter, is black, and at once becomes offensive TO
the smell. 1t will almost cause the flesh 1t
touches to blister
The first process is to bury it in the sand,
where it remains for two or three weeks. when
the gelatinous animal matter seems 10 be alb
sorbed or destroyed. or eaten by the insects
thst swarm in the sand.
The boatmen who obtain it are maid In
shares by the owners of the boats. This.
therefore, becomes precarious and semi-cam
bling pursuit. like wreeking, highly attractive
to the colored opulation.-lCaliiorn Farmer

SOCIAL LIFE IN ENGLAND. II is remar-
kabe feature of social lille in England, aud GER
tainly one Of its especial charms, that mothers
and daughters are SO uniformly seen together
at their own home. Not only is the mother
the first lady to whom you are introduced at
the house where you visit, but mistress of the
ceremonies throughout; not only does she
preside at the dinner-table, but in the evening
party she sits as queen. Whatever may be
your hrst impressions OF such an arrangement,
II 1t happens that your syInpathies are with the
younger ladies, you will soon come to think
that the mothers absence would be sincerely
regretted by the daughters. And you will find
nothing to mar, but everything to enhance, the
interest Of the picture. The mothers presence
never seems TO operate as an unwelcome re-
straint. Between her and the daughters YOU
will mark the most joyous, playful, loving free
dom, without the sacrifice OF a title of paren-
tai dignity and authority on the one hand, or
OF sweet and graceful filial duty on the other
1tmay be said of English families generally,
that these two things are emnently character
1stic, to-wlt, uniform parental authority, aud
the most charming freedom Of intercourse be-
tween parents and their children.
You cannot visit an English family in a IA
miliar way without discovering what will pro-
badly surprise you, that a deep dislike of GER
emony and state Is very marked Characters
TIC of an English woman. This feeling Is
strongest among those highest in rank, and
has been marked feature in the character of
the Queen herself from her very girlhood.
NOW that she is a lone widow so pre- matrrely.
and her children are growing 10 the stature of
manhood and womanhood, and leaving their
home forever, how delightful to recall the sweet
pictures of her early married life, when she SO
much loved TO saunter, with her noble and
good husband, over the beach near their beau
tiful house in the Isle of Wight and to watch
those then little children as they amused Them
selves with trying to find two pebbles of the
same shape, or dig wells in the sand with
their tiny wooden spades. Was she not a
great deal happier amid those sweet domestic
scenes than when surrounded by glt,erng no.
