At first a very small detachment

. SWEARING BY PRoxY-The Day
ton Ledger tells the following anec-
dote, which we can very easily be-
lieve to be true: e-.-.s=,
&C Yesterday afternoon q lady
reached the passenger depot in this
city, on one Of our railroads, just
as the train on which she desired to.
take passage moved away. She
was extremely anxious to get aboard
the train, but was LETT, which, of
course, was not right. AS she stood
gazing on the train, her arms full Of
packages, and her eyes full of tears,
a gentleman arrived at the depot on
full run, with his carpet sack on
his hand, his coat on bis arm, and.
his face streaming with perspiration.
He. too, wanted to take the same
train. but, alas, was too late. AS he
looked on the train now fast moving
away, he set down his carpet bag,
wiped his face, and very deliberately
and emphatically said: 9 Damn
that train The lady heard him.
and smiling upon him with a lady S
sweetness, said: s'Thank you. sir.
He had, undoubtedly, expressed her
sentiments exactly"

When he came before his judges
he seemed to gNher what was
going on from the arrangements Of
the tribunal and not from what he
heard said around him, and he ask,
ed in German where his interpreter
was? he was sent for and the ex-
animation commenced.
1t turned at first upon the motive
of his journey from Madrid to Lis
bon. He answered by showing his
dispatches to Admiral Siniavon and
his passport. In spite of the pres
ence and the vehement assertions of
the peasant, he persisted in the
same story and did not contradict
himself once.
ASK him. said the presiding
officer at last, elf he loves the
Spaniards, as be is not French
man Z"
The interpreter put the question,
Certainly said Leckinski, 81
like the Spanish nation, ard l es
TEEN it for its noble character ]
wish our two nations were friends -
Colonel" said the interpreter to
the president, 1.-The prisoner says
that he hates us because we make
war like banditti, that he despises
us, and that his only regret is tina,
he cannot unite the whole nation in
one man. to end this odious war al
a single blow"
While he was saying this, the
eyes Of the whole tribunal were at,
tentively watching the slightest
movement of the prisoners counte
ance. in order to see what effe,
the interpreters treachery woulG
have upon him. But Leckinski hao
expected to be put to the test il
some way, and was determined tc
battle all their attempts. .
"Gentlemen," said Castanos, ''i
seems to me that this, Young ma
cannot be suspected; the peasan
must be deceived. The prisoner
may pursue his journey, and ~hs
he reflects on the hazard of our pc
S:'ion, he will find the severity WI
have been obliged to use excusa
ble."
Leckinski's arms and dispatches
were returned, he received a fire,
pass, and thus this noble you'll
came victorious out of the severes
trial that the human spirit can b.
put to.

Years ago, a Pennsylvania farmer
stabbed his young wife in 2 fit of
drunken insanity and fed to the
West, supposing himself a murderer.
The woman recovered, and after five
years of solitary life, married again.
Her second husband died in few
months, and she also went West,
There she met a prosperous and
wealthy merchant, was wooed and
welded; and upon disrobing in the
bridal chamber. the bridegroom saw
upon her neck the scar of the wound
he himself had made, and recogniz-
ed his wife of years before.

Four Great Events.

One of the great events of the
century occurred Monday. The
present century has seen these four
great events:
l. Morse's invention of the Tele-
graph. ..s ~
2. The laying of the Atlantic
Cable
3. The death of Slavery in the
United States. H
4. The completion Of the Pacific
Railway. ~ -.
In twenty-five years the continent
has been spanned by the wires OF
the telegraph. Ten years ago the
lightning began to run beneath the
sea. Five years ago the war for
freedom ended, and slavery died.
Last Monday the iron track was
made complete from Portland to
San Francisco.
The young man of to-day, who
has seen all these things accomplish
ed, will have tales to tell to his
grand children such as no grand
sire of our day can summon from
the stores Of his memory.-M. Y.

Hon. Horace, Capron has our
thanks for copy of his Monthly
Report of the Department of .Agri-.
culture for April and May, from
which we. are pleased to clip the
following items: sas -7-s
Thirteen years ago q gentleman
purchased % acres of land near Los
Angeles, California, for 5000. The
first, year he planted nine acres of
vines and fenced the entire ract
with a live fence. The remaining
13 acres have since been planted in
trees, of which there are bearing
212 orange trees, 100 lemon trees,
30 walnut trees, 500 apple trees, 200
peach trees, and a few lime, plum,
ounce, fig, &c. The nine acres Of
vineyard produced $3.50 after pay
ing expenses Of cutting, being q net
profit of over 500 per acre; and
the fruit crop from the Is acres in
Guiding the oranges, now beginning
to ripen, estimating them at the
prices realized last year amounted
to S2.65O, making the net receipts
from the crops produced on the %
acres last year about $4,000, most
of the labor being performed by the
owner. The live fence last year
supplied a surplus of fire-wood.
which was sold at good prices.

PASTE D1AMoNDs.-Th moreyal-
liable an article is the more it is
counterfeited, and the created tho
perfection to which Justification is
carried. The diamond has been SO
successfully initiated that he must
be an expert indeed who can tell the
false from the true. 1t by no means
follows that because a man deals in
Jewels his honesty must be of the
first water, and the fact of q pur-
che ser having paid for diamond is
not always proof that he had OBJ
tanned one. There are known tests
of genuiness, it is true, but they are
chiefly optical, and require appara-
tus and skill to make them. A
method which any one canapply, or
easily get apl lied, has been desid-
eratum; but the want exists no
longer If you have doubtful
stone, put it, or cause it to be p"t,
into a leaden or platinum cup, with
some powdered luor spar, and "a
little oil CT vitrol; warm the vessel
over some lighted charcoal, in u
fire place, or wherever there is .
strong draught, to carry away the
noxious vspors that will be copi~
ously evolved. -, - -.='i. =
When these vapors have ceased
rising let the whole cool, and then
stir the mixture with a glass rod TO
fish out the diamond If you find
it intact it is genuine stone; but
if it is false it will be corroded by
the hydrofuoric acid that has been
generated around it. A small paste
diamond would disappear altogether

profit by this recipe have to thank

She thinks 1 ought to be ashamed
To go out in the street.
With clothes she says. fused and fixed,
To show my little feet.

When ladies W ak the street;
They'll try and manage some good way
To show their pretty feet!

Though "mighty' dear they cost;
Beneath our furbelows and bows
Our little forms are lost;
The tiny heels upon our shoes, .
They are so gay and neat,
And solely made, you may be sure,
To show our handsome feetl
With parasol above me held,
And our mamma" to see,

A Step in the Right Direction.

A Step in the Right Direction.
AT meeting Of the Irish Associ.
alton of Washington. D, c., on tho
14th instant the following resolution
was adopted: aJIfs
RESOLVED, That the members OF
the Irish Republican Association
favor the nomination of a compel
ent colored man on the general
ticket. -ht '5i'l
The President said: ..This Is a
step liz the right direction. and will
tend to conquer the prejudice which
exists against the race in this city,
a prejudice which the Irish have
suffered from as we'll as the colorcd
people hut as beth are armed with
the ballot now they can, by acting
together, defend themselves against
nrejudice and proscriptive rings.
The enemies of one race are the
enemies of the other and the friends
# one are the friends of the other.
Those who applied the lash 80 un.
Dercifully to the colored mans back
tried in and out of Congress to dis.
franchise the Irishnian, and those
who have always advocated tho
freedom of the colored man, such as
Sumner, Wilson, Banks and Chan
der, are advocates ofthe Iris', to-,
day in Congress, and. are calling
John Bull to account for his antago-
nism aUainst the limited States as
we'll as against Ireland. All the
ives which were lost and the blood
"hich was shed for the freedom Of
the colored people and for the pre-
servation of the Union amount to
nothing unless we vote as. we fought,
viz, for freedom and the Union.
Remember Daniel .O'Connell. the
idol Of Ireland and the champion Of
the colored race" 49, ...s. 49,.
