A Strange Story.

A Washington special dispatch to q
New York paper contains this para
graph:
The Secretary of the Interior has
been called upon to decide upon the
authority given him by the laws of
Congress in regard to the return to
Afyiea of negroes recaptured from
si4eers by the United States, in case
whose facts are stranger than fiction.
In 1859, the Wanderer, a slave-trading
vessel was captured by United States
war-vessel cruising among the West
Indies. The cargo of captives was
fonnd to be in a horrible condition,
and on that account the commander
of the cruiser took the Wanderer to
Savannah, instead Of waiting to make
northern port. While lying there
the SLAYER was boarded by desperate
gang, by whom the the captives were
retaken and scattered Immediately
through the South, so that they could
not be found again by the Government.
Since the war part of this company
of negroes has gathered at Mobile,
formed a society by themselves, pre-
serving their native language and liv-
ing apart from the freedom about
them. They are said to be industri-
Gus and thrifty. They desire to be
sent back to their native country but
Sec, etary Cox. before whom the ques-
tion first came, did not see his way
clear to provide for their return, under
law that never contemplated such n
case, and Secretary Delano is embar-
rassed in the same way. The circum-
stances appeal to Congress, if thS law
as it stands is insufficient. The little
band is Of a tribe calleI Iorcubans.-

sivnary to Africa, j addressing a con-
gregation of colofed people at Mobile

Lords Prayer in Yorcuban, in the
hearing of some Of this company, who,
hearing their native tongue, came
around him and made known the cir
cumstances of their capture and subse-
quent history. Il seems they we're

sG"Wood, butter, lard, bacon, Irish po-

scarcity and the necessities ~ the people,
are exacting outrageous prices for all
those things. Alas for the poor, who can

wages haven't budged an inch ahead. This
seems 10 be an era Of fancy prices-in real

it will be for the country. Immigrants
