am in q position to stnte that the dis
patches received by the last steamer frem the
British government are OF the most satistac-
tory and conciliatory character. There Is
not the slightest ground for apprehending
any further dispute" between the two coun-
tries on any pending question, natwith-
standing the assertions Of a mischieyous
newspaper in New York, that further "com-
plications on the matter Of international
law, growing out Of the "Trsnt" affair, "are
inevitable"
The opinion is expressed here in diplo-
matte circles that England and France will
henceforth maintain not only strict neu-
uality towards this country, but will, in a
little while, give evidence of their willing
ness to allow the war to proceed wi thout
even attempting to influence this govern
ment to change its measures with regard
to the stone blockade, or any other mode
we see fit to adopt for bringing the war to q
close.
Private letters from member of the Brit
ish Cabinet to a distinguished Senator here
make no complaint whatever with regard to
this or any other question, but, on the con-
trary, congratulate his correspondent on the
settlement of the Trent question, inasmueh
as it settles definitely the only thing at al
likely to have led to belligerent movement
on the part of Great Britain towards the
United States. There is not the sightes
ground for apprehending armed or any othel
interference; no such matter is alluded to il
any dispatches or in any of the correspon
dence. It is considered here as utterly with
out foundation and is a mere stock k-jobbinG
or cotton speculating rss.

EDs. LzEDERi As The truth Of my state
ments in regard to Colonel Hasen Is
doubted By Private, A. Hubbel, Of Com
pany E., l give my evidence On the one
which most interests the publio-his treat
ment Of fugitive slaves.
Ny first witness is Gen. Nelson, who, on
the morning of the l1th day Of December,
1851, did in person, and in presence Of
Company 3, order me to detail q guard
and send two fugitive slaves to Col Ha-
Ien's Quarters. The guards detailed were
men Of vsrsOityi they returned, stating
that Colonel HaEen did ask the stakeholder
If he would "have them fOgged" there
that the reply was, "NO, sir; l will attend
to that when get home" The men Of
this guard are my witnesses, but l with
hold their names for the present ss they
are yet in service. After the battalion
Wss formed, and before the order to march
was given, Colonel W. B. HsEen did state
in presence Of the FOrty-frst Regiment, o.
v, that If any officers or men were found
harboring fugitive slaves, he should turn
them over to the Civil AIthOFity-that their
punishment would be ten years imprison-
ment in the States Prison. This occur
renee was on the morning of the second
days march from Camp Quigly to Camp
Wickliffe.
sufHcient evidence of the truth Of the
above statement may be found among th'
men Of the Forty-hrst, whenever their tes
timony can with prOpriety be got at.

Not long since certain quack, who
looked as wise as an owl, was addressed
by one Of his patients thus:
"Doctor tell us how it is that when
we eat and drink, the meat is separated
from the drink"
Why, I tell you," said the learned
man Of pills. ''Yoa see as how there is
in the neck two ripes-one Of them to
receives the meat, and the other the
drink. At the top Of them pipes is q
lid or clapper, and when, we eat this
tlapper shuts up the drink pipe, and
when we drink it turns back upon the
meat pipe-a see-saw kind Of motion.
Queer apparatusses, assure you.
"But, doctoi,' said the patient, ''it
seems to me that ere clapper must play
a id sharp game when ~e eat pud-
ding and milk"
Quack took his hat and slid, advising
his patient not to swear at all.

Strange Titles of old Dceka.

In 1856. a pamphlet was published in
London, entitled "a most Delectable
sweet Perfulned Nosegay for Gods
Saints to Smell at" About the year
1919, there was published work, en-
titled "a Pair Of Bellows to blow off
the Dust cast upon John Fry" and
another, called "The Shutters Of Di-
vine Love- Cromwell's time was par
ticularly famous for title pages. The
author ola work on charity entities his
book sHooks and Eyes, for Believers
Brceches." Another who profcssed a
wish to exalt poor human nature, calls
his labors "High-hccled Shoes for
Dwarfs in Holiness" And another,
"Crumbs Of Comfort for the Chickens
Of the Covenant. A Quaker, whose
outward man the powers that were
thought proper to i,nprison, published
"A Sigh Of Sorrow for the Sinners Of
Zion, breathed out Of Hole in the
Wall of an earthly Vessel, known among
men by the name Of Samuel Fish"
About the samo there was also pub
lished, "The spiritual Mustard pot, to
make the Soul snceze with Devotion
Salyation's Vantage Ground or Loup-
ing Sand for Heavy Believers Au.
other, "a Shot aimed at the Devils
Headquarters through the Tube. of the
Cannon of the Covenant" This is an
author who speaks plain language,
which the most iliiterate rcprobate can
not fail to understand. Another, "A
Reaping-hook well tempered, for the
Stubborn Ears Of the coming Crop; or
Biscuits baked in the Oven Of Charity,
carefully conserved for the Chickens Of
the Church, the Sparrows of the Spirit,
and the Sweet Swallows Of Salvation.

Cairo In Eeypt.

Bayard Taylor, in his "Journey to
Central Africa gives us some Of his 'ex
pcriencc in Cairo. He writes:
The Turkish xuarters OF Cairo still
retain the picturesque Saracenic srch-
lecture of the times of the Caliphs.-
The houses are mostly three stories in
height, each story projecting over the
other, and the plain stone walls are
either whitewashed or striped with hor-
izontal red bars, in a manner which
would be absurd under northern sky,
but which is here singularly harmoni
Gus and agreeable. The only signs Of
sculpture are occasional door-ways with
richly carved arches, or the light mar
bic gallery surrounding fountained
court. l saw few Of these in retired
parts Of the City. The traveller, how
ever, has an exhaustless source of de-
light in the wooden balconies inclosing
the upper windows. The extraordina-
ry lightness, grace and delicate fragil-
ity Of their workmanship, rendered still
more striking by contrast with the na-
ked solidity Of the walls to which they
cling, gave me new idea of the skill
and fancy Of the Saracenic architects.
The wood seems rather woven in the
loom, than cut with saw and chiscl.-
Through these lattices Of fine network,
with borders worked in lace like pat
terms, and sometimes topped with slen-
der turrcts aud pinnacles, the wives OF
the Cairene merchants sit and watch
the crowds passing softly to and fro il
the twilight Of the bazaars, themselves
unseen. It needed no effort Of the i'm
agination to people the fairy watch-tow
crs under which VIC rode daily, Will
