E the Portland Press gives cur
rency to funny incident which oc-
CURED in that city few days since
1t seems that an Irishman living at the
North end is possessed of wife whose
fondness for the "crathur" is inor-
dinate. On the morning in question
she purchased leg of lamb for din
ner, putting it in the oven to bake, she
turned to get some wood, when pussy,
who had stood with longing eyes on
The meat, jumped into the open oven.
The woman, not perceiying her cat,
closed the oven door, and proceeded in
the discharge of her accustomed du
ties. Tabby cried, but Biddy couldn't
find her, and during the forenoon the
woman imbibed too freely her favorite
beverage and became oblivious to all
about her. Pat came home TO dinner;
the dish of meat set before him, which
he pronounced rabbit. His wife assert
ed that it was lamb, but Pat turned it
over, and discovered, to his horror, the
hair of poor pussy. A scene ensued,
in which Biddy was summarily So
bered.

H- Here is the record that the
Hon. Thomas H. Benton left behind
him of a mothers infuence:-"My
mother asked me never to use tobacco.
l have never touched it from that day
to the present day. She asked me not
to game, and l have never gambled; /;
and i cannot tell who is winning and
who is losing in games that can be
played. She admonished me, too,
against hard drinking; and whatever
capacity for endurance l have at pres.
ent, and whatever usefulness may at
tain in life, 1 have attributed to her pi-
GUS and correct wishes. When l was
seven years of age, she asked me not to
drink; and then l made a resolution of
total abstinence that have adhered to
through all my life. What do | not
owe to my mother?"

sG The popularity in building the
last one hundred miles of the Kansas
Pacific Railroad was the employment
of over seven hundred Mexicans, with
their teams, in hauling the ties, which
were brought from forty to one hun
dred miles, and this tie force, which
was novelty in railroad building, as
organized proved to be a success.
There has been built since August last
year, e34 miles of road. In addition
to this, during the same period, there
has been built 106 miles of road from
Denver to Cheyenne, which completes
the connection with the Union Pacific
Railroad, and making in all $40 miles
that have been constructed on the
plains within the past twelve months.

vice on the through route from Kan

EE The population of Ohio is at
least FIVE times as great as that of Con-
necticut, but the number of divorces
granted last year in the former State
was but 1,003, while in the latter it
amounted to 491. To every twenty
four marriages in Ohio there was one
divorce; in Connecticut, one TO every
nine and seven-tenths. 1t is clear that
the West has no monopoly of immoral
ity. In both the States named the in
crease of the ratio of divorce is worthy
of attention. In 1866, in Ohio, the
proportion was one TO twenty-six; in
1865, in Connecticut, one to eleven Of
the marriages. Last year, the three
most populous counties in Connecticut
showed the largest number of divorces.
This was to be expected. The same
counties, however, have the largest
foreign population; is there any con-
nection between these facts? Out Of
4,754 marriages, 271 were between a
foreign male and an American female,
and 181 between a foreign female and
an American male Are there no sta
tistics to show whether such marriages
turn out better or worse than when both
parties are foreigners or both native
born? The greatest number of births
in Connecticut occurred in March and
September, and this agrees with what
happened in Massachusetts in 1867, so
far as March is concerned. We pre-
sumo that in the one State, as in the
other, the greater proportion of the
births regularly fall in the latter half
of the year.

AMONG THE ROSES.

BY MILE W. CARPENTER.
II all the rest of my garden were dead,
Leaving ne nothing but roses sweet,
Blossoming tenderly, white and red,
Even then Summer would seem complete.
So red the roses are. and SO sweet
o, but the roses are red, so redl
pin them like jewels upon nv dress.
And the Summers heart is daily fed
On the beauty that shuns the winds caress
With blush of infinite tenderness.
There are roses enough for me to spread
A carpet 'twixt me and the gray sea-shore;
Luminous white and wonderful red,
Shielding the rough and uneven floor,
'Twixt the far-of sea and my cottage door.
And shall spread them 'twixt me and the sea
Fragrant and dewy and fine and neat;
Ny lover will cross them and come to me
Come by apathway of roses sweet,
From the sea to sit here at my feet.
Nor Eastern princes, nor world-known queen,
In shawls and cashmeres and opals fine,
In satin simmer and siiken sheen
With slaves to kneel at her nod and sign,
Shall boast carpet so rare as mine
And when in my gravel come to lie,
Covered with roses from feet to head,
The birds that cross the blue of the sky
Will watch the Summer tenderly spread
Across me cover of white and red
Spread marvellous cover across
The bed where, smiling. l lie asleep;
And watching it, will be at loss,
Knowing my slumber is sweet and deep
To know why my lover will come and weep;
Come and weep while lie asleep
Under the cover across me spread;
Under the roses that toss and creep
And cover me close from feet to head
With u changeful simmer of white and red.

uary, 1862 of the qualities of the different brands Of
coal oil obtaining sale in that city. with alarming
results in IS samples, only found to be safe.
In view of the above facts. the question arises,
What can be done to protect the public against low
grade and aduerated Illuminating oils? Mr.. Chand-
er in closing his report to the New York Board of
Health, says:
There is only one plan by which the safety of the
public be insured that is, by the enactment Of
stringent laws compelling the redners to remove
these dangerous substances from the kerosene, and
nhieting heavy penalties upon those who reck-
less enough to endanger the lives Of innocent pur-
chasers.
a proper inspection of the kerosene sold, made
under the authority of the Board of Health, would
prove sufficient to enforce such law.
For the purpose Of registration. the retailers should
be required to procure licenses from the Board.
." The sale Of dangerous oil should be followed by
conhscation. loss of license. and perhaps fine"
We are of the opinion that the matter ought to re-
ceve the attention of Board of Health that some
plan may be suggested and put in force by which the
sale of inferior and unsafe brands of kerosene may be

ton of hieh shall be the money for passage trans

Habeas Corpus.

Five years ego, the Chilian vessel Ma
tador arrived here, having on board some
fifty Chinese engaged at Macao to pro
ceed to these Islands, or to Peru as cir
cumstances might determine. The advent
ofthese men, who were brought here under
the much vaunted private enterprise plan,
by gentleman named Rogers, under an
agreement to serve him or whosoever else
he might require them to serve, for the
space of eight years. The Board Of In
migration objected to the landing of these
men, because they had been brought here
without their authority, and, indeed, con-
trary TO their express orders; and far
ther cause of objection was, because they
were contracted for eight years, whilst tire
Board was only authorizing contracts for
FIVE years. The law, it viii be remem-
bered, permits contracts to be made for
ten wears. but, rs we have said above, the
Board has never permitted more than five
years on contracts made under their su-
pervision.
Some persons recently deemed it their
duty to persuade these men that they were
not bound to serve the remaining three
years of their contract, and therefore, on
the goth day of June last, they left the
plantation in body, but We're soon arrest
ed and brought before the Police Magis-
trate of Hilo, who after due hearing. SEN
tenced them to be confined at hard labor
until they should consent to return to
theiremployers to work out their contracts.
Afterward. counsel for the Cinnamon hit
upon what seemed to them an expedient,
namely, TO get out writ of Habeas Cor
pus from the Supreme Court, and one was
selected as q test case, with the design of
reviewing the whole proceedings, Judge
ment and law, by means of that process.
Accordingly, they set forth in their peti-
ton that the contract under which the
man had labored for five years, was not
signed by him at all, nor read to him, but
was put into his hand after getting to seq;
that he went on board the ship with the
intention 81 proceeding to California, or
some other foreign country, to accumulate
a fortune in few years; (the gentleman
who constructed this petition omitted to
state that the philanthropic individual
who chartered the ship had agreed to give
this Chinaman his passage, out of pure
love for the species, so that he might
better his fortune, and did not mention
how the man was to pay hispassage, pro-
vided the same was not given him out of
pure philanthropy 1t farther sets forth
that Mr. Metealf Is dead, and therefore,
though he had agreed to serve Rogers,
