1t is with sincere regret, that we are
again late but when it is taken into con-
sideration, that sickness,-throughout our
people-is properly viewed, we hope to
receive the sympathy of all, and be ex-
cused.
W. direct attention to a portion of our
Lawyers plea-a very important docu-
ment. -
ET We have received many valuable com-
m~unications, which we acknowledge,
and will enter them into our next is-

Translation).
In returning the documents in this &C.
ton, I beg leave in my capacity as counsel
for the defendant, to make the following
remarks /:
First [ must in behalf of the defendant
and at his request, demand the following
expressions in the plea from the Counsel
for the plaintiff, Of 90 ultimo, page End,
line 9TH TO 22nd "for the Articles are so
miserably written, both in Stile and Or
Biography, SO full ofblunders against Gram
mar, Logic and common sense, that they
with sensible readers, can only show The
Author up as a miserable ignorant person
who will NEEDLE with what he don't un-
derstand. And it is just the same impress

fore must %curtail my remarks for the pre-
sent, promising to give in your next a
prospective situation for st. Croix, by
which, I trust, | will be able 10 shew,
whether the culture welfare of our little
island will be best secured by a Danish
or an American rule'.

"CUPID'S FROLIC"

Said Cupid once, when on a spree
My friends, if you like roses
Just take a pleasant walk with me,
And I'll regale your noses;
But the young scamp, on mischief bent,
Past thro' st. Thomas town,
Regaling them, with such q scent,
AS almost knocked them down.
2.
Cupid what stink is that? they say
When up a P-M-struts
And swears they each a fine must pay
For running down his Cuts
Oh Conscience! how to the blush it puts
Men fraught with bad intention
How could he know they meant his CUTS
Of them, they made no mention.
Then Cupid cried my friend Oh! Bah
You all wear double faces;
You want to keep up Cholera
That you may keep your places.
But you can't Brighten Uncle Sam
Who, when the bargain closes
Will let you know All perks not Ham
Nor sinking cutters -"Roses".
He'll lay the water courses well
Not striving to spare a cent,
But to destroy that horrid smell
Gainst which these lines are meant,
guess, he'll often find folks too,
Though never without reason
But this l ought not to tell you
Lest, you sue me for High treason.
Then swiftly off young Cupid flies
To bask among his roses,
Enjoining the Authorities
To spare the Peoples noses.
Then let us Sing Long live our King
And may young Cupid's frolio
To US more fragrant cutters bring

UelOW all CfltlClStu.-1t LOOKS almost likc
he has intended 10 shew how little of in
sight, knowledge, taste and good tact is
required to edit a newspaper, and it can
not be denied that he has brought his pa
per to range as the worst and most beast
ly of the Newspapers of the whole world.
On account of the wretchedness both
OF the Newspaper and its editor, Govern
ment would, / am sure, rather have omitted
to enter this prosecution, and left both TO
the contempt in which they are fallen"
to be mortified, and the Counsel for the
plaintiff to I've properly fined, for the Ian
guage he TINS has made use of, In case
the honorable Court do not agree with me
in this respect, | must reserve the Righto of
the defendant under a separate civil action
to maintain his honor and obtain sentence
against the Counsel for the plaintiff, for
said his language and the appellations
made use of.
With respect TO the case itself, which
we will now review, then according to
the order for the prosecution ii hinges
only on two Counts. In two directions,
bat in these only, it is presumed IN the
order for the prosecution, that the defend
ant has by the articles Nos. 3 and 4 in
st. Croix Avis for this year, committed
himself:
These 9 directions are
1st, that the defendant should have of
Tended against 6 of the Press law,
and
end, that he should have raised a call 10
the population of this Island to me-
moriaIise a foreign Government to
endeavor TO bring the Island st.
Croix under its dominion, and made
an appeal for an agitation with this
object
We will now examine these Counts
each by itself.
With respect to the first: 6 of the
press law runs thus "Whoever in a
printed work ascribes unto the King un-
Just or shameful acts, or presumes to ex-
press disgraceful opinions or terms con-
corning the King, or in treating of his
person uses offensive language, shall be
punished with imprisonment from 8
months to 2 years. The same punish
ment shall be inflicted on any one, who
in q like manner trangresses the Queen,
the Queen Dowager, or the heir to the
throne"
From this follows evidently, that pun
ishment according TO said : 6 can only be
inflicted for the offences named therein,
when theseare directed distinctly against
the King, the Queen, the Queen-Dowa-
ger or heir to the throne.
This is namely inferred 60 ipso by the
specified enumeration Of these persons,
and this is corroborated further by the
end passage of the paragraph commenc-
ing with "the same punishment shall be
inflicted on any one who in like manner
etc"
It deserves likewise here to be pointed
out, that an extended Interpretation has
never been attempted as not even the
Regent who is treated of in the funda-
menta! law Of 5th June 1849 IS 9-15, and
who although according to ; 10 exercis-
ing in the name of the King, all his pre-
negatives of 5 6 in the press law, solely
in his capacity as regent.

A NovEI. SwIHDLE.-A novel method
was resorted to few days since by a man
and woman in order to obtain wearing ap-
parel for themselves. The scene Of the
occurrence was Hoboken, and the unfortu-
nate dupe was o well-to-do woman, who
lived in q house adjoining the Hudson City
road. The rogues represented themselves
as having come from Hudson City, were
husband and wife, and resided there in
tolerable circumstances. On Tuesday eve
ming the worthy pair were strolling along
the plank walk leading from Hoboken to
Hudson. By some means, probably best
known to themselves, they both slipped and
tumbled into pool Of water close by, out
of which they came completely drenched
and covered with mud. Of course it was
not proper, under the circumstances, thai
they should thus go through the city and be
sneered at by their neighbors. So, taking
advantage of the proximity of house,
they repaired thither, and explained to the
landlady what had occurred. Taking pity
on their condition, she furnished the woman
with full and costly suit of Sunday dress,
and to the man gave her husbands Sunday
clothes. They left overjoyed and gratifed,
bringing with them their old clothes, and
promising to send the borrowed articles i'm
mediately. Suffice it to say, this was the
last heard of them, for no persons answer
ing their description reside in Hudson City
or any place about that atlocality.-NeD York

An OLD SETTLER.-A boy-turtle was
picked up on the farm of Mr.. Chauncey
Loomis, of Bloomfield, q day or two since,
which has had quite remarkable history
On the shell are two names and dates-J.
L., 1898, and H. c., 1917. The former is
the name of Mr.. Jacob Loomis, the father
Of the mentioned gentleman. He
cut the date when twenty years of age. The
other is Mr.. Harry Cornish, also of Bloom
field. Mr.. Loomis finds this same turtle
once in every two or three years. The last
time was about 1868: then he brought him
into the C0urant office, and a notice was
made concerning his great age. As Mr..
Loomis was returning home he lost the tur-
tie from his wagon in the western part of
the city, and although search was made, he
could not be found, and it was supposed
that his turtleship would never be seen
again. A few days since, and 10 he turns
up on the old spot in Bloomfield. This is
certainly most striking case Of animal in
stinct. The distance to be passed over was
four miles, and several streams with high
banks intervene. What guided the ami
NAL in passing this distance? The known
age of this turtle is therefore seventy-tive
years How much older than that no one
can say.-Hartford Cowant.

A Man WITH A CHARMED LIFE.-All great
cities are full of strange characters, but at
present New Orleans eXcels in this respect.
Living here is an individual whose remark
able career is almost without parallel in
the annals of romance. he was born in
Indiana, and is now about forty years Of
age. His name is Edward Caruthers. Be-
ing engaged in personal difficulty with a
man named Simpson, at Madison, in the
fall of 1946, he killed his antagonist and
fled to the American army then entering
Mexico: At the battle of Chapultepec he
was taken prisoner, and lay for months in
a Mexican dungeon. Being released at last,
he married q Spanish girl, and settled on
the Rio Grande. Here being attacked by
the Indians, himself and family were car
ried into captivity, where he again spent
two years. Efecting his escape, he joined
ranger company, and was shot in fight
with the Comanches, scalped, and left for
dead. He, however, recovered and joined
the Walker expedition to Nicaragua, where
he was wounded, captured, and again i'm
prisoned. But being again released, he
sailed for the United States. The vessel he
was in was wrecked, and he barely escaped
with his life. He was one Of the passengers
on the ill-fated Evening Star, and again
escaped death where SO many persisted. He
is now resident of this city, and delights
in relating adventures which are certainly
remarkable to last degree.-Ne,o Orleans

THRILLING INCIDENT IN Missouri
most reliable account of deViltries commit
ted by the Kuklux in Missouri is the fol-
lowing from the Boonville Eagle Of the 5th
instant: s. /
1t can no longer be doubted that the
Kuklux are at work in Cooper county. The
thing has been verified and established be-
yond all cavil. A few days since our county
surveyor, with numerous assistants, was
engaged in running the line Of some lands
in the edge of Moniteau township, and in
approaching house sent man ahead with
red flag. The operations were anxiously
watched by an old gentleman and several
of the weaker sex from the house. .
Fear and dismay were on their counte-
nsnces as they stood and gazed with trem-
bling on the movements Of the party. The
flagman approached near the house, paused,
and waved his blood-red flag in many and
mysterious ways. The surveyor halted at
the signal, planted his instrument firmly
on the ground, and levelled it at the house.
AT this wild yell broke from the anxious
and terrified occupants Of the house. The
fagman dropped his banner, and ran with
ali his speed to see what was the matter.
AS he rushed frantically into the house the
old man and the woman fell on their knees
and commenced begging piteously for their
lives.
The aagman tried in vain to quiet them,
but they would not be quieted, declaring
Is Won cannot fool us, we've heard of. you
Kukluxers." At length the old man was
made to see the matter in the right light,
but the females never ceased their crying
until the surveying party was out Of sight

Bituminous coal of very high quality,
and consequently Of very high price, is,
or ought to be, the principal material in
the production of gas and no inferior coal,
in its natural state, can be used at all Tor
such purpose. If, however, we take the
latter, pulverize portion of it-say ten to
twenty per cent, as may be desirable
and mix it with crude petroleum until q
kind of thick paste has been formed, we
shall find that the whole is equal to the best
camel coal for the manufacture of gas.
We arc informed that series of careful
experiments, recently instituted by the
Manhattan Gas Company of this city, salts
factorily established the fact that by using
the most common description of bituminous
coal according to Mr.. Mackenzie's method
an illuminating power of twenty to twenty
four candles was obtained, which is twice
the light derived from the coal used under
the present system.

THE WIFE OF THE LATE GENERAL EATON
N C0URT-ABANDoNMENT BY HER SECOND
HUSBAND, WHO ELoPEs WITH HER GRAND
pAUGHTER.-The widow of the late General
Eaton, Secretary of War under President
Jackson, preferred complaint yesterday
morning at the Jefferson Market Po!lce
Court. before Justice Ledwith, against her
husband, Antonio Buchignani, for aban-
donment. 1t appears that some time after
the decease of General Eaton his widow
became attached to this man, who was
dancinp-master in Washington, and during
the fall of 1851 married him. The rsla-
tive age of the parties was very unsuitable
for prolonged happiness or mutual love, ne
being a handsome young man OF twenty
one, while Mrs. Eaton was considerably ao :
yanced in years, although in her younger
days she was one Of the bellies OF masns a.
ington, and attended all the levees OF y
the White House, where she was received
on a perfect equality with the wives
and daughters Of the President, OF whom
she was favorite protege. Her &c,
ouaintance with her present HUSBAND
was occasioned by q business transac-
ton, he having hired hall from her 10

UNCHANGEABLE.-Thin do not change
in the East. AS Abraham pitched his tent
in Bethel, so does an Arab sheik now set up
his camp; as David built his palace On
Mount Zion, so would q Turkish pasha now
arrange his house; in every street may be
seen the hairy children of Esau, squatting
on the ground, devouring mass OF lentile
like that for which the young hunter sold his
birthright along every road plod the sons
of Rechab, whose fathers one thousand
years ago bound themselves and theirs to
drink no wine, plant no tree, enter within
no door, and their children have kept the
oath; at every khan young men around the
pan of parched corn dip their morsel into
the dish; Jobs plough is still used, and the
seed is still trodden into the ground by
asses and kline. Olives are shaken from
the boughs, as directed by Isaiah, and the
grating of trees is unchanged since the
days of Saul. The Syrian house is still, as
formerly, only stone tent, as temple was
but marble tent. What is seen now in
Bethany may be taken as the exact house of
Lazarus, where Mary listened and Martha
toiled or as the house of Simon the leper,
where the precious box of ointment was
broken, and whence Judas set out to betray
his Master.-Dickens' AL the Year Bound.

SINGULAR.-The steamer Montana is fit
ted up for removing snags from the bottom
of the river as well as scraping channels
through bars. Last week, when few
miles below Hastings, ut work, her off,
GERS discovered what they supposed to be the
" break" from IN old sawyer, nearly in
the channel of the river. They accord
ingly made ready and dropped alongside
for the purpose of taking it up. At the
proper time their graphing irons were let
down and made fast, and then the steam
was put on the nigger," and up it came:
Instead, however, Of drawing out an old
sawyer as expected, they drew out horse
-harnessed to a light buggy. Everything
was complete and in good running order,
except that the horse was dead. 1t seems
that horse attached to buggy had backed
off the ferry-boat at Hastings few hours
before, and was drowned. The iron of the
buggy had sunk the animal, and thus they
had drifted along until taken up by the
snag -boat.-St. Paul Press.
