IsITA JOKE AT a recent meeting of
the Boston Numismatic Society silver
dollar of Macmillan, Emperor of Mexico,
was exhibited. The Emperor's peculiar
beard is so drawn as to present, when the
coin is reversed, the appearance of the
head of donkey. The members entered
into curious and learned discussion as
to whether this was to be an intentional
piece of satire on the part of the artist !;
but it is not impossible that it may have
been caused by the difficulty of repre-
senting the style of beard worn by his Ma
jesty.

COLUMBIA, S. c., January 14.-The freed

cultivation Of the soil. They are chiefly

promise of ratio until the working sea-
son. Their main reason for leaving is the

Late adviccs from Denver report large
numbers of buffalo going out the Platte
Valley from the South. As the buffalo
never willingly travels northward in the
dead of winter, the Denver NerS believes
the Indians are behind them, with hostile

Platte. All previous Indian raids in win
ter have been preceded by buffalo, and
news is apprchcnded of a recurrence Of the
Indian masSacrcS Of two years ago.

A SENSIBLE NEGRo.-Rev. John w.
Logan said, at the Equal Rights Conven-
ton in Washington, that the term negro
was peculiarly musical to him, and hoped
the word would be retained in resolution
to which some one had objected on &C
count of that word. He wanted the term
to be retained, for his mother was black,
and he did not wish to deny his origin.
While Mr.. Logan was speaking he was
frequently interrupted by questions. The
chair called the convention to order, say
ing that the members should recollect that
they were in the House of Representa-
tives, and therefore they should keep or
der. A member urged that there was no
necessity for putting out a sign, for, bright
in color as he was, when he got into the
cars on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
they knew where to put him.

Like a maiden decked on her bridal day
Yet shy and sweet as the olushing May.

And greet the advent of charming May.
Come roam. with me, mid 8 lovely throng,
And hear one burst of their rapturous

Each bird OF the forest has tuned his throat,
To MARBLE and echo some joyful note;
And the voice of he purling mountain

NEW METRoPoLTTAN.--There was
a rather small, but a very elegant and
fashionable audience at the New
Metropolitan last night. The play
of La Tom De Weale,'' as our
morning contemporary hath it, was
presented in most admirable style,
and was well received. The after
piece was infinitely funny, and kept
the house in a roar.
Tonight will be presented the very
fine comedy, entitled Paul Pry,"
with Mrs. Golden as Phoebe, with
songs, and Mr.. Melville as Paul Pry,
and the full cast of the company; to
conclude with the inimitable farce of
the "Stage Struck Barber" We
think it due to Mr.. Golden that the
house should be crowded tonight.

ARRESTED FOR STEALING.-A negro
girl. who called herself Mary Axcy,
and who said she had been a slave of
Gov. Dixon's. was arrested yesterday
on a charge of stealing clothing from
a white girl named Lizzie Meyer, who
lives with B. F. Catch. She was
taken before Recorder Nelson, who,
not having jurisdiction in the case,
directed her to be taken before a
Justice of the-P Peace. She had one of
the stolen dresses and an apron on,
and had other clothing tied up in a
bundle. She. freely confessed her
guilt, but could assign no reason why
she took the clothing. Lizzie was in
disposed to prosecute the African, and
the matter was under discussion when
we left the Office. We think it would
be . decided benefit to the African
race to promptly mete out proper pun
ishment for all such crimes. The
plan of letting criminals off upon re-
covery of the goods stolen we think
highly injudicious. The negroes
should be taught that, with the in
heritance of freedom they also inherit
the penalties attached to crimes com
mitted by freemen.

COMMISSIONERS COURT. = The
Board of County Commissioners have
been in session for some days during
the past two weeks. They have given
their attention chiefly to an inspec-
ton of roads and bridges, and made
arrangements for their improvement.
Philip Decker, Esq, has been charged
with the supervision of these improve
ments in the vicinity of the city also,
in Perry and Knight Townships. The
road beyond Franklin Street Bridge
will be raised above high water mark,
and the road beyond the lower Pigeon
Bridge will also be improved. A
new culvert will also be built on the
road to the Crescent City Springs.
and very much needed improvements
will be made in knight and Perry
Townships. Mr.. Decker will also
superintend the repair of the Court
House, the roof Of which viii have
to be overhauled,, and other parts Of
the house repaired. We deem the
selection of Mr.. Decker for these
duties eniuensiy proper, as the work
will be veil ard economically done.
