A New SwRDLE.-Our colored friends are be-
coming rapidly civilized; on the same principle,
we suppose, on which the cast-away sailor e1-
claimed upon seeing gibbet on what he thought
was desert island: 'Thank God, am in civil
ized country" Swindling is undoubtedly one OF
the accessories of civilization; and, as far as we
know is not confined to any cline, race or color.
One Of these cheudliers Gindustrie recently con.
descended to make this city his field OF operations
He is black man, named London, originally, We
understand, from Walterboro', but recently 'hail-
ing" from Florida This gentleman preferring to
fish for gudgeons rather than engage in more hon
est, though also more laborious pursuits, went
about from yard to yard among the colored people
of Charleston, represented that he was sent by
Gen. s1cKIEs to make inquiries about the amount
Of house rent they severally paid, as the General
was going to bring it down; that he lived in the
same house with Gen. SIoKLEs, "only one story
higher" All this he might have done without
doing any harm. But this was mere blind to
gain the confidence of these creduous persons.
He next asked them if they were married, and
where their papers were, for all who hao
been slaves had to be married over again; and II
they, could not produce the necessary papers, to
show that they had been married ''since the Union
come in" they would be put in jail for six months
Of course this created considerable alarm; when
London would kindly offer to help them out OF the
difficulty by furnishing the certificate, as from s.
to s2O according to their ability to raise V. or
double x. This game was carried on for some
time, till it came to the ears Of the authorities,
when the case was inquired into, and resulted in
the arrest, by United States detective MCDOWELL,
Of the afore-named London. How many marriages
this worthy solemnized we are unable to learn !;
but we haye been hearing Of some one, for several
weeks, going about and alarming the negroes on
this matter; and we glad that the fox was at
last trapped and caught.

AID FOB SOUTH CARoINA.-The State Commits
sioners of Maryland have received number OF
additional contributions from the generous Vir-
ginians and Marylauders. Among the list Of those
published in the Baltimore papers we see dona-
ton of 14s bushels of corn from the Rev. A. B.
WALLER, Of Fauquier County, Virginia, which it is
directed should he forwarded to this State. The
present unfortunate condition Of the South has
produced an almost worldwide sympathy for her,
but when those who have themselves been des-
poiled continue to spare some Of their substance
for their suffering brethren, the action is more de-
serving Of praise.

by cutting them Off down to the surface

soon become as bad as ever. A better
way is to wait until they are In leaf, n
which time they are loosened more read

they win not be likely to sprout again.

Rich Joke on a Husband.

West side, not on the most peaceable terms sep

the wife whom he had taken '.for better or worse
got the best of it. Having converted considera.

ultimate separation from her, he placed The money

and outside of his vest, taking care to have the
aperture which reached the depository carefully

woman doubtless believing she would eventually
be well paid for her trouble, told it to friend,

That friend repeated is toanother in whom she
had the utmost confidence, with similar I'M unc-

wife's ear. Ohe night while her husband who,
like Puffengruntz in the Black Crook, occupied
separate apartments" was sleeping soundly, she
stole into his room, carried away the vest, and
quickly transferred the money to her bosom per

BRUTAL TREArMENT.--Weh have heard of one
OF the greatest outrages ever committed in this
neighborhood. 1t appears there is qnite settle
ment Of German ten miles North
east Of Wenona in the town ofEagle La Sale Co.
This society has been endeavo,ipg for some three
years to have preacher placed over them, and
finally succeeded in procuring him from the head
quarters of their church in Pennsylvania. He
had only been settled over them three weeks,
when his congregation quarreled with him, and
one night last week the bitterness became great
that a portion of his congregation determined to
take out their spite in summary manner. They
repaired to his boarding house, and taking him
from his bed, led him out, and pounded lin un-
mercfully, in fact until he was marked and
bruised until scarcely recognizable. During the
performance, several shots were fred at him, one
of which penetrated his boot leg. There is no
reason assigned for the acs, as far as We have
heard, except an intense dislike taken to him by
his congregation, on account of sentiments enter
tanned by him; and determination to be rid of
him. We are told that their prosecutions were
such that in three weeks he was reduced from a
hearty we'll man to mere wasted skeleton

In recent lecture upon Africa, delivered by
Monsieur Du Chaillu before the Travellers Club,
in New York, the lecturer stated that many of
the tribes of Equatorial Africa esteemed the flesh
Of the gorilla great delicacy. In his Explora-
tons he had suffered more from hunger than
from any other cause. He generally took mon.
key along with him, and would first let the mon
key taste the berries he found by the way-side,
and if he would eat them he considered them
safe food for himself. Thus he had lived for
days and weeks, and looking at mis- monkey com.
panion, would exclaim IAN not a man and
brotherI" Sometimes the monkeys taste in ber-
ries differed from his own; but he had to put up
with what he could get, and eat what the mon
key set before him. He had also not unfreouent-
ly been compelled to eat the monkey himself,
and found him equal to the finest venson
