great ocean steamship race will, it is expected.
come off during next month. As our readers are
probably aware, there are two large rival foreign
steamship companies, the North German Lloyds
running between Bremen and New York, via South
ampton and the Hamburg and American, running
between Hamburg and New York, via Southampton.
Their steamers are built in this country, but manned
Germans to America every week. and their ships are
so large, swift and eommodious. thst they have be-
come favorites with English and American passen-
gers In consequence of the rivalry existing between
the two companies and the disputes to the respec
tive merits of the two fleets, it has been resolved to
burg companys Allemania, and the Bremen COM
pany's Hermann. Both of these are new and mon
ster steamers, of enormous strength, and they make
the Atlantic passage in about nine tea days. They
will start from Southampton for New York together
Both ships haTe been backed 10 heavy amounts al
ready, and the race will be an exciting and remark
able one
The Allemania and Hermann are both gorgeously
fitted up.

ARABIAN LAUGHING PLANT.-In Palgrave's Cen

duce effects much like those ascribed to Sir Hum

and performs thousand extravaganzas, till after
hour of great excitement to himself and amusen ent
to the hystanders he falls asleep and on awaking has
lost all memory of what he did or said while under
the influence of n drug.
To put pinch of this powder into the coffee of
some unsuspecting individual is not an uncommon
joke is it said that was ever followed by serious
consequences, though an Over9uantity might perhaps
be dangerous The author tried it on two individu-
ais. but in proportions. if not absolutely homeopa-
thic still sufficiently minute to keep the safe side
and witnessed its operation, laughable enough, but
very harmless. The plant that bears these berries
hardly attains in Kasseem the height of six inches
above the ground; but in Oman were seen bushes of
it three four feet in growth and wide spreading.
The stems are woody, and of yellow tinge when
barked; the leaf is of dark green color, and pin
mated with about twenty leaflets either side; the
stalks are smooth and shining the flowers yellow
and grow in tufts the anthers numerous the fruit is
a capsule, stuffed with greenish padding in which
lie Embedded two or three black seeds, in size and
shape much like French beans, their taste swedish
but with a peculiar opiate favor; the smell heavy
and almost sickly.

Trade sale of Books.

Yesterday was opening day of the regular Spring
trade sale of books under the hammer of Messrs
Leavitt Strebeigh Co.. successors to j. u. Cooley
At $50 o'clock forty to fifty represen atves of
the trade present. quite number of these being
from the Western States, and two three from Can
were Philadelphia and Kentucky. In the evening
the attend ance was, usual, much larger but the
average throughout was not up to the number at the
Spring sales OF other years.
The contributors to this sale unusually numer-
Gus and the invoices large, the catalogue covering
$40 pages. This fact coupled with the general busl-
ness depression, gesed the probability that the
season, would be disappointed. The result of the
first days sale would seem to confirm the assumption
that the book trade would suffer in no less degree
than other branches of business. As before stated
the attendance not large, and the prices realized
much further from the retail prices than in former
years.-N ". Times, 4th.

The CASE OF EDWARD W. GREEN, to be hung on the
18th inst. well known the Maiden murderer, is
of peculiar interest. 1t will be remembered
that on the 10th OF December 1868, Master Frank f.
Converse, young man about seventeen years of
age, while i'll temporary charge of the bank in the
neigh boring town of Maiden, during the absence of
his father at dinner, shot dead and the bank
robbed OF five or six thousand dollars, An interval
Of several months elapsed before the perpetrator of
the murder was discovered, and when this had been
done there was an excitement almost as intense as
when the murder was committed, duplicating as
it did, in the person of Edward W. Green the
postmaster, one of tho most prominent young
men of the town. Green arrested one Sunday
night in February 1864 and Immediately after his ar
rest he confessed his guilt stating in brief that on the
day mentOnedhe entered the bank, got a bill changed
saw that ConVerSe was alone, went back to his Office
armed himself with loaded revolver, returned to
the bank passed behind the counter, as his IA
miliar custom, placed his pistol near tho head of
young Converse discharged one barrel into his brain,
and when the young man instantly fell diScharge ed
another into his temple while he was lying on the
floor. Green, besides being the respected postmaster
of the town, was entrusted by the town authorities
with the sale of school books and the monies arising
thereirom. He gave reasons for perpetratng this
ties, and had no honest means of replacing the pub
lie funds which he had thus expended By the money
which he could get through the robbery of the bank
he could escape from this dilemma, and. as before
stated, he robbed the institution of S. COO having
previously killed young Converse, the son of the
cashier to prevent the discovery of his crime. Dead
men tell no tales he thought; but he failed to re-
member as well the ancient and often true saying

needless severity. This hopeful! limb of the law
was gifted with more than common share of the
cool assurance so requisite in the profession and
determlned to improve the opportunity to make
his learned friend of the bench feel the sting
he had so often inflicted. Accordingly when his
honor took the stand the counsel gravey INQUIRED
facts of his personal history-though all were
familiar to himself and every one present as the
Old church, or main street of their native town.
The queries were put in voice and with a manner
so exactly initiated from that of the Judge himself as
to cOnvulSe the audience with LAUGHTER; every I'M
necessary word the hampered witness used repri
manded as beyond the question: he continually
adJured to tell tho truth, the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth his expressions cautiously
objected to; he was tantaiized with repetitions and
cross-queStoning about the veriest trihes and finally
his oTmentor, with face of the utmost gravity, pre-
tended to discover in the witness leviy of bearing
and equiyOcal replies, which called for lecture on
the responsibility Of an OATH this was delivered with
