there was much excitement at such an outrage,
and great deal of honest indignation, though
there was no manifestation of violence, other than
that used by the lieutenant and his cohort of sold
iers. 1t was practical illustration of the Con,
gressional plan Of reconstruction which makes the
military superior to the civil power.
The paper writing handed to the judge proved
to be military "order," from "these headquar-
tiers" commanding the judge to appear before his
royal highness, Philip the First, Vice-Royal Of the
Radical party, and future Duke of Louisiana, there
to answer for something, we know not what
quite likely for his presumption in daring to ex-
ercise the functions of civil magistrate without
leave first having been obtained.

the rick of prairie hay and the rustic stabling.-
Thus it is that new farms are opened from year to
year, in the most quiet manner imaginable.

HOW THE WEST Is SETTLED.

Railroads are the great power in the West-the
means through which great expanses Of beautiful
prairie is transformed into titled fields. The ab
sence of timber seems no impediment. The eye
has been accustomed for years to look over beau.
tiful piece of rolling prairie, as you pass along on
the train or by the wagon road. You wonder who
that land belongs to; perhaps to some speculatol
in Wall street, or may be to some sturdy son not
yet quite ready to pitch his tent in the West You
pass that way again in day or two, and observe a
long black line across the green grass As the train
whirls along, you follow the line with the eye till
it rests upon pair of medium sized horses attach
ed to twelve-inch breaking plow, moving steadily
along, perhaps under the guidance of some new
conner from way down in Maine--perhaps from
a point not so remote. He has come by railroad,
bought his team, plow and harness the day after
his arrival, at cost of say $3.50 to $500 for hor-
ses, and $50 each for plow and harness. He Sc
cures board in farmers family near his land at
50. so or $500 per week, and the third day after
his arrival you see the dark line across the green
sod. You pass that way in a week-the dark line
has widened into ten-acre strip. You pass again,
at the close of the breaking season, late in july
and thirty acres of perhaps fory-is inverted
and rotting, ready for crop the following season
The newcomer has turned bis team out to grass,
and is, perhaps, helping the neighbors in harvest
at $l.5O or 50 per day and board. During the re-
mainder of the season you see no evidence Of fur
ther improvement. You pass that way at mid
winter and observe the track Of sled along the out
er border of the breaking, and at distance Of
eight feet apart you see fence posts distributed,
ready sharpened for driving.
As the frost leaves the ground in April, you OBJ
serve a week very industriously put in with team
and harrow, seeding wheat and oats. Following
this you observe the solitary laborer with his por-
table bench about two feet and half high, and
maui and sledge, driving posts. While the ground
is moist and loose from the going out of the Frost
man will readily drive his forty rods day. Thus
in eight to twelve days the thirty or forty acres Of
breaking will be encircled by posts. Another ten
days will see the customary three rails, or three
pine boards in place. or if wire is used, half the
time only will be required to put it in good shape
to turn stock. We will suppose the outlay to have
been for material about as follows: For forty acres;
$40 posts at 124 cents each, would amount to a
shade under $50. Pine boards would cost, go cts
per rod, total in round numbers $500, or for posts
and boards $3.50. IF four strands of wire is used,
the total cost would be- say 10 cents per rod, each
strand, total of forty cents per rod for the wire
Total in round numbers, posts and wire, $20S. 1t

A LADY's OPINION OF A LADY's MAN.-Mrs
Stephens, in her monthly magazine, gives certain
class of men, the like of whom are seen in every
community, the benefit of her opinion, as follows
Our own private opinion Of a ''lady's man" is,
that he is thoroughly contemptible-a sort of the
life hardly worth thinking about-a nutshell with
the kernel withered up-a handful of foam drift
ing over the wine of life, something not altogether
unpleasant to the fancy, but Of no earthly use. A
woman of sense would as soon be put to sea in q

GENEROSITY.

Galley, the eminent artist, one day said to Lord
Shelburne, my Lord, perhaps you have heard of
John Wesley, the founder Of the Methodists2"-
20 yes, that race of fanatics" "WeI, my lord,
Mr. Wesley had been urged to have his likenessta-
ken, but he always refused. One day he called on
me on business, and I began the old subject
''Wel," said I, 'sknowing you value money for the
means of doing good, if you will grant me my re-
quest, will engage to give you ten guineas for the
first ten minutes that you sit and for every minute
that exceeds that time you shall receive guinea"
WHAT said Wesley, do understand you a.
right, that you will give me ten guneas for having
my likeness taken? Well, I agree to it .. He
then stripped off his coat, and lay on the so, and
in eight minutes had the most perfect bust Thad
ever taken. He then washed his face, and Icoun-
ted to him ten guineas in his hand. 'tWen," said
he, turning to his companion, 81 never til now
earned money 80 speedily, but what shall We do
with it?'' They wished me good morning and
proceeded over Westminster bridge. They met a
poor woman crying bitterly, with three children
crying around her. Cn inquiring the cause Of her
distress, Wesley learned that the creditors Of her
husband were dragging him to prison, after having
sold their effects, which were inadequate to pay
the debts by eighteen shillings. One guinea made
her happy. He then went to Gltspm prison
The first ward he entered he was struck with the
appearance ola poor wretch greedily eating potato
skins. He was confined for debt Of half guinea
Wesley gave him a guinea, and had the pleasure
of seeing him liberated, with half guinea in his
pocket "You may imagine, my lord, SAID Gar
ley, 'that the remaining eight guineas did not go
far in aiding such distress as this" Lord Shell
burne was so convinced of the mistaken opinion he
had formed of Wesley, that he immediately order
ed dozen of his busts to embeIfsh the rounds Of
bis beautiful residence. r-5' f6& .ItaJ

A BURGLAR TRAPPED.

The New York correspondent of the Troy Times
gives the following: gl
Twas informed of case in which burglar was
handsomely trapped a few nights since The
house of a resident Of Brooklyn was entered about
midnight, and the occupant, Mr.. y awakened.
As he arose in bed he saw standing in the room
rough looking man with a bludgeon in his hand.
"What do you want here?" was the inquiry of
Mr.. -. ,rt Md
II want your money or your Life, " suddenly re-
piled the thief IN f"a 'h3
"You do, eh?'' exclaimed Mr.. -, and he
slipped his hand under his pillow and drew forth
a splendid revolver. ''You do, eh ?' he repeated,
and sprang from the bed, presenting the revolver
at the head Of the thief snow, sir, I want yeur
money or your lfe," he continued, still presenting
his revolver. ..........
The thief "comprehended the situation at a
glance" and fairly '.shook in his boots, " as he
stammered, II will go out, sirl'' -. ?sge saeyEi
'"No you won't until you give me your money
then you may 90 !" ~, ts -
The thief drew from his pocket ten dollars and
handed the sum over. :: -, . FL,
"Now, I want your coat" This was delivered.
'sNow, I will take your shirt, boots, and panta'
The thief hesitated. ''If you don't take them off
instantly, I will shoot you dead where you staad
and throw your body out of the window" The
thief complied, and stood naked. s'Now you may
leave" replied -, ''by the same way you came
through that window, down the shed, and over
the fence And if I ever see you within fifty yards
of this house again, day or night, III shoot you
dead-so help me GodI' .a .a4- a-< :
The thief teok his departure, and when - re-
lated bis adventure next morning to the family,
whowere entirely undisturbed by it, he was obi
ged to exhibit his captured clothing and money to

MEXICAN CHARACTER.

Having recently published accounts Of Mexican
character which were far from complimentary, We
think it but justice to present the other side. This
We do in the language of a traveller who has BEEN
much among the Mexicans He says: -. sf.
II have lived among the Mexicans In friendship
and intimacy, and know them well With permis-
sion Of the philosophers, who may consider it ia
truism, l shall mention that they are essentially
like other people, and are not so far as haveseen
inferior to our own Anglo-Saxon races except in
not having had our advantages of education and
experience. In some things which do not depend
on external influences they have shown me that
they are very excellent. have proved their kind
ness Of heart, generosity and fidelity. They hare
more SPIRITUALITY than our race eyinces at the pres
ent time, but have not the same material force es.
pecially in getting and keeping money. They are
polite and consderate of each others rights; pa
tient and long suffering, and tolerant even of injus-
tce which, perhaps, ought not to be tolerated I
speak principally Of the mass Of the people who
are not partisans Of the clergy for this relation
vitiates the natural qualities, which are what am
describing. But even the latter class often show
their good natural qualities. do not think they
are more given to robbery than the Anglo-Saxous,
and not so much disposed to murder. Nor have
seen that they exceed in any crime. Itake into
consideration the absence of checks on the part'of
the government, and give credit to the individual
who is moral and just without outward compul-
sion. 1t would seem that many have been mised
by the word Indian to associate the Mexican with
those Northern varieties of the tomahawk and war
paint or with the less offensive individuals of the
same race There could not be greater mistake.
And it has been thought that the best people in
Mexico those of European origin, and that its
regeneration isto come with the extinction of the
native races This is a gigantic error. The best
blood in Mexico is Of the American, and not Of the
European races. I know perfectly well that Mex
leo has produced some exceedingly bad men, the
natural fruit of bad systems; that these ought to
be restrained from doing harm. But knowaas
well that the youth have noble qualities, and Iam
confident that better times, and the cessation of
fereien interference, will make it clear to the world
that Mexicans are capable of forming and sustain
ing national existence" .s,f .,xga:
