points raised were: Whether the employer had

for, and whether, if more labor was performed,
the employe had right to collect in proportion

metrical translation into English with introduc-

of Lord Lytton. As showing how history repeats
itself IL is curious to note that these odes are as
well adopted to 1859 as to the period for which
they were written centuries ago. Thus when
Horace in Ode vi, tracing the social corruption
of the times to the contempt of the marriage tie,
whether by adultery or the excess to which the
license of divorce was carried, aids Augustus in
the reforms he effected in the law of marriage.

vision our day of Indiana divorces, bgamous
weddings and cultivation of "afRnities" when he

With their own stylish teams and turn-outs do
the same in winter at Washington? If there is
my reason why not 1t will probably be found in
our peyements. Charles Aston Bristed has tried
the experiment, and his fine team may be seen
not unfrequently upon the Avenue, but he evil
IDENTITY does not find it as pleasant drive as the
Harlem Lane or Touro Avenue. We
have seen him picking his way carefully
along among the ruts,-we might almost say
the quagmires-of Pennsylvania avenue in
n slow, doubtful fashion, well calculated TO
damp the enthusiasm Of a man who has been
used to spin along over a smooth road after a
fast team. And yet this wretchedly paved
street, dreaded by man and beast, needs only a
good wood pavement, such As that of Wabash
avenue, Chicago, for instance, to make it the
finest drive in America. We doubt III even in
the world street of such noble proportions can
be found in the heart of a city, so well adapted
for the display Of handsome equipages. Its i'm
perial width makes it now concededly the finest

year-to make ii the resort Of the fashion of the
country during the sessions of Congress. Self
reservation, however, must warn the business
men Of the Avenue not to permit this matter of
paving the Avenue to be longer neglected.

ierred to some parallel street above that shall
be wide awake enough to forestall them with a

paving in front OF its own property-weu and
good; but if there is any hitch in that quarter.
1t should not be allowed to delay the me asure a
moment. Let the property holders, the Corpo-
ration and the street railroad divide the cost
among them; the Corporation paving the inter
sections Of streets, the property holders in front
OF them, and the street railway their track and
the distance outside they are compelled by their
Charter to do. 1t should be entered upon at
once Any one who imagines that the Avenue
Will maintain its business supremacy with its
present wretched pavement must be an infatu-
ated Avenoodle, indeed!

was organized under Gen, Reynolds in Tex,
as to try a white civilian for killing negro
civilian facts which exclude any cogull.
auce OF the oHeuse by the military authority
Of the government The presumption in the
case Of Weaver is that he did not recognize
the equality OF the negro with the white
race, aud that he probably had some preJu'
dice against the negro "on account Of race
or previous condition Of seryitudc y while in
the ccse Of Mayatt, the presumption is that
if he ever had such pre- udice il had been
either educated or drilled ont Of him, and
that he stood in an unprejudiced attitude
toward the object Of his malice or revenge.
There is one fact which is indisputable in
both cases and which is not peculiar to
either-a negro has met his death at the
hands of white man, in
violent and unlawful manner. Behold the
different consequences to the guilty perpe
