MAN OyERBoARD.-A man was on the
wharfboat Michigan last evening, wait
ing for boat to 60 up the river. About
halfpast ten o'clock the steamer Louisi-
ana came along, and he went on board
She started up, and had been gone some
time, when the people on the wharl-boat
heard man crying Justify for help, far
out in the stream Mr.. j. Marshal, the
mate of the steamer City of Alton, was
the FIRST to hear the cry, and thought,
when he first heard it, that it came from
under the guards of the wharfboat. He,
however, soon discovered that it was a
man in the stream, and quickly jumped
in the yawl and called for oars, when
Frank Cakes, the carpenter Of the same
steamer, procured oars and jumped in
the yawl also. They started direct for
the man. They pulled about a quarter
of a mile, cheering the fellow, and tell
ing him that it was all right They
finally succeeded in picking him up in a
very exhausted state. he could not have
stood it much longer, and would have
certainly been drowned but for the timely
exertions of Messrs. Marshal and Cakes.
The man proved to be the passenger, and
stated that he had fallen overheard

The Southern papers have account OF tho
MCQUEEN will case, recently before the Mississip-
pi courts at Holly Springs. 1t WAS proven in the
trial that "the testator bequeathed his estate to
niece and four daughters; dsinheriting his own
daughters because they joined the Methodist
church." The man was insane, and not long since
no became 80 violent and uncomfortable that his
neighbors took arms and hunted him like a wild
boast, and overtaking him in Calhoun county,
shot him down on the road.
The women employed ina shoe binding shop in
Rochester, n. Y, have ''struok" against reduo-
tion OF wages. 1t appears that some weeks since,
having largo number of orders, the employer
requested them to work out Of hours, to enable
him to supply tho demand. They did this hoping
to receive additional compensation for it, but
were disappointed to learn that, instead of pay
ment, he had determined to reduce their wages
nearly forty per cent. They offered to submit to
reduction Of ten per cent, which was refused,
and thoy then left. Their number was one hun
dred and twenty five.
Tho increasing immigration from Ireland has
already been noted A late number OF the PAD
Mall Gazette observes: 'Although labor is scarce
and wages high in every part of Ireland, tho exo-
dus to America is rapidly on the increase. From
Cork alone an average Of fifteen hundred embark
weekly, and from the other Irish ports the migra-
ton to the New World, by way of Liverpool, is
proportionably rapid. The master wish OF every
Irishman belonging to the lower-middIe and low
class seems to be to leave his country for ever;
an object which the Irish paterfamilias seeks to
attain by sending forward across tho Atlantic his
hardest and most promising sons and daughters
provided with all the money he oan raise, to earn
more for the transport Of the restof the family.

THAT vile spawn of the Revolutionists, the
Civil Rights Bill, is running the gauntlet of
the courts, and seems to meet with very much
tho same fate in every section of the Union.
Few, if any, of the most Radical judges have
yet ventured to pronounce it constitutional,
and tits being completely riddled by deois-
ions adverse to its oonstitutionality in every
direction. Each of those we'll digested ju-
dicial thrusts seems to pierce some vital point
of the monster, and it now lies in moribund
state. Unless the Supreme Court shall play
the good Samaritan to the Civil Rights Bill,
bind up its wounds, and pronounce it consti-
tusional, it will do very little mischief in any
section of the country.

The Radical journals keep up the most
frightful growing over UNDERwooDs ridic-
ulous indictment of ex-President DAVIS. He
has done his work so bunglingly that the
leading literary organ of the Radicals (the
Nation) frankly confesses that it does not
seem "very clear whether the bill of indict-
ment has been found against him with the
view of getting DAVIS off seot:fre or having
him punished" Thus we 60. UNDERwooD's
reward for all his dirty work is the derision
and contempt of the Radical lawyers, and the
bate and suspicion Of the principal politicians
ard journals of the party. His burlesque
DoaBERRY charge to the Grand Jury, and
HI" utterly worthless Indictment, have placed
him just where oil respectable people would
have him. "Hari Kari" is the last refuge of
tho unfortunate man.
