one-hslf in cash and one-half in arms and
munitions, for the cession to us of the penin-
sula and Bay of Samana, which
offer was made in January, 1867. The
Dominican Government, in reply, avowed its
readiness to lease to us the coveted acquisi-
ton, but refused to sell it; aud soon after
wards it was alleged that Dominica had made
a treaty with Hayti by which both those
powers mutually agreed that neither would
ALLEVIATE any portion of its territory; but
Secretary Fish says, in his report to Con-
gress, that he 'now learns with pleasure that
the treaty this referred to does not
absolutely conclude" Whether binding or
not, at all events, the President
Of the Dominican republic, after declaring in
public proclamation that he would not cede
to us the bay or peninsula of Samana, re-
ported an offer to lease it, and while this was
under consideration, revolutions meanwhile
occurring in Dominica, a change in our Gov
eminent occurred by Johnson's exit from
Office and Grants inauguration. BY this time
it is claimed that an annexation party had
sprung up in Dominica. Instead of being so
hostile to territorial cessions that even the
bay and peninsula could not possibly be
alienated, it is claimed that the mass of the
population, as we'll as the rulers, became
anxious to transfer themselves bodily, bag
and baggage, to our supreme control 1t
must be confessed that this change OF senti-
ment seems suspiciously sudden, but Grant
has sent several agents down to sec about it,
and they have reported everything all right.
The Senate of the United States,
however, practically adopted diff
ferept conclusion when they rejected the
treaty negotiated by Babcock for the annexa-
ton of the whole Dominican portion of the
island; and now, since in face of its rejection
the present effort TO annex by an act of
Congress is being made under the auspices
of the administration, we shall soon have not
only the President and his com missioners, but
a host of Congressional debaters telling what
they know about Dominica, and the abun-
dance of their comments will probably
lead to disclosure of the whole truth, as
well as to an animated discussion of all the
controverted points involved. Prominent
among the latter are the desirability of the
territory to us, the willingness of the Do
minicans to yield it, the extent of their debt,
and the nature of their complications with
Hayti and other powers Sumner contends
that the project involves a bloody lawsuit;
Grant claims that it is grand speculation.

selection Of jury Of the msmbers of the L n
stitute. The ceiling of the grand gallery is
ornamental with thirteen paintings,
the centre one, entitled ''The Dawn of
Day, being the work of Antoine Francois
Callet. The others were executed by Jor-
daens, the pupil of Rubens, and represent Che
signs of the zodiac This gallery contains
msBy great paintings by Horace Vernet,
lie Suis, Granet, Deveria, Eugene Dala-
croix, @. L. Muller, Rosa Bonheur, Gudin,
Ingres, Gerome, and other brilliant repre-
sentstives OF the French school of art.
This description of the Luxembourg palace
and its art treasures of course represents it as
it was previous to the breaking out of the
present war and the downfall of the Empire.
There is reason to believe that some of the
paintings in which the two Napoleons we're
glorifed were destroyed by the people of
Paris themselves, and it is to be hoped
that as many of the other works of art as we're
movable have been placed out of the reach
of the Prussian shells. The ceiling and wall
paintings, however, and the numerous deco
rstions of the palace must have suffered, If
the statement in the cable despatch alluded
to is correct, and there is really great reason
to fear that irrepnrable in jury has been done
to beautiful building which was both his
torical and artistic monument of the greatest
interest. If the Luxembourg palace has been
reached by SHELLS, there is much to fear that
the Louvre and the Tuileries will mex suffer,
unless a surrender puts an end to the bonn
bardment.

WE were unfortunately among those who
imagined that Mr.. Dechert, Notwithstanding
the fact that he is Democrat, would as
member of the Legislature set an example of
honorable and fair dealing that would make
his attendance at Harrisburg q matter for
congratulstion with right-thinking men
of all parties. Mr.. Deohert, however,
disappointed his best friends by nominating
Ahern for the important position of Sergeant
alarms of the Senate and yesterday he did
thing that it is impossible to imagine man
with any self-respeot could do. Mr.. Dechert's
seat was contested, and in order to prevent
the subject from being discussed in the usual
manner, it was proposed to refer it to
a special committee of five Democrats
and two Republicans, before whom
it was certain that Mr.. Decherts opponent
would have no chance whatever of fair
hearing. The question of reference to this
partisan committee was decided by Mr..
Decherts vote. In other words, he voted
himself entitled to his seat in defiance of any
evidence that might be brought for
ward to support the claims of Mr..
Lyndall. With regard to the merits
of the contest for the seat
from the First Senatorial district we have
nothing to say at present, but Mr.. Dechert
has disgraced himself in the eyes of all hon
orable men by voting in his own case, and
deciding that case in his own favor. In q
similar instance to this in the Senate of the
United States, another Democrat, Mr.. Stock
ton, of New Jersey, attempted the same trick,
but he had the grace to be ashamed of him
self, and, upon final vote, very properly de-
clined to disgrace himself by going upon
the record as judge of his own cause Mr.
Decherts performance yesterday was. not a
very happy augury for the future of his
career as a legislator; and if he does not
blush for himself, we can assure him that all
his friends in this city whose good opinion is
worth having blush for him.

By the time Mr.. Morris had delivered

By the time Mr.. Morris had delivered
himself of this, his tone had changed as
bis feelings warmed from that expostula-
ton to that of command again. and the
officer forced him into the rudely con-
structed lookup in the rear of her Hon
or's court, and there Mr.. Morris was left
to reflect upon the situation. and gaze up
on the dividing wall between himself and
wife as the dividing line between mans
and woman's rights under this new dis
pensation. t.. Ha. '
On the following morning Mr.. Morris
was arraigned before her Honor, and in
the most sober and subdned manner, and
with the deepest humiliation, pleading
guilty, asked the pardon of the Court for
contempt, and then awaited his sentence
with humility and resignation.
After giving the prisoner Caudle lee
ture as amended by the laws of Wyom-
ing, her Honor imposed the usual fine
and required the prisoner to give bonds
to keep the peace, upon which the court
gallantly offered to let him 60, and Mr..
Morris vanished.

HAWKINS, THE POLYGAMIST sen.
TENCED.

Chief Justice Mexican, on the morn
ing of the 2Sth ult., at Salt Lake City,
passed sentence upon Thomas Hawkins,
the polygamist, as follows:
Thomas Hawkins, am sorry for you
very sorry. You may not think so
now, but shall try to make you think
So by the mercy which l shall show you
You came from England to this country
with the wife of your youth, and for
many years you were kind husband
and kind father. At length, however,
the evil spirit of polygamy tempted and
possessed you. Then happiness depart
ed from your household. and now, by
the complaint of your faithful wife and
the verdict of law abiding jury, you
stand at this bar as a convicted criminal.
The law gives me large discretionary y
power in passing sentence upon you. l
might both fine and imprison you, or l
might fine or imprison you. l might i'm
prison you for twenty years and fine you
for twenty years and fine you one thou
sand dollars. cannot imprison You for
less than three years. nor fine you less
than three hundred dollars. 1t is right
you should be fined, among other reasons
to help to defray the expenses Of en-
forcing the laws but my experience in
Utah has been such, that We're l to fine
you only, am satisfied the fine would
be paid out of other funds than youra
and thus you would go free, absolutely
free from all punishment, and then those
men who mislead people would make
thousands of others believe that God had
sent the money to pay the fine; tina,
God had prevented the Court from send
ing you to prison, and. by miracle, you
had been rescued from the authorities Of
the United States.
l must look to it that my judgment
give no aid and comfort to such men. ]
must look to it that my judgment be moi
so severe as to seem vindictive and not sc
light as to seem to triAe with justice -
This community ought to learn that God
does not interpose to rescue criminal:
from the consequences of their crimes
bat, on the contrary, He so orders the
affairs of His universe that, sooner OIL
later, crime stands face to face with jus
tice and justice is the master. 1 will
say here and now. that whenever your
good behavior and the public good will
justify me in doing SO. will gladly re-
commend that you be pardoned. The
Judgment of this court is that you be
fined $500 and that you be imprisoned al
hard labor for the term of three years.

A FAMILY REMARKABLE FOR TWINS

Near James town. Russell county, Ky.
there lives one of the most remarkable
of families. Mr.. James Jeffries, lately
attending the United States court in
Lou isville, as juror, tells the story. He
says that he was married before he was
seventeen years old. his wife being only
five days younger than bimself. They
lived together seven years without chill
dren, when his wife gave birth to twins,
boy and girl. In the fifteen years
which followed nineteen children were
born to the happy couple, each of the
first three births being twins and each
subsequent birth alternating between
twins and single births until fifteen years
were accomplished and nineteen children
composed the family circle, seven pairs
Of twins being born during the time. Mr.
Jefries is only forty five years old and
is still youthful in appearance and very
stout. His wife never had better health
in all her life than at present, thoug h
she will not weigh 100 pounds. Her
greatest weight at any time was ITO
pounds. The boy of the first twins now
weighs los pounds, the girl l25 pounds.
All the boys who are grown have made
large men the girls are Of good size
and all the children healthy. But five
out of the nineteen have died. Mr.. JEFF
fires has ten brothers, all of whom are
large men, and within the families Of the
eleven brothers there are thirty-seven
pairs of twins, making seventy-four twin
children; to say nothing Of the host of
single births. Five of Mr.. Jeffries' chill
dren are married, and, added to all those
singular facts, notwithstanding the alb
sence of silver locks On his head, be is
the grandfather of five children.

TOO LATE.
JAMES " EroN.

Too late, too late, was never said
Of morning sun, or bud, or flower :
The light is true to hill and glade,
The rosebud opens 10 the hour;
The lark ne'er asks the day to wait,
But man awakes too late, too late!
Too late, TOO late, our anger burns,
| The sun goes down before the flame
To gentle words of Kindness turns,
And we are scourged With inward shame
To think our breasts have barbored hate,
And pride bows down-too late, too late.
Too late, too late for public prayer.
The words of worship have begun;
Our cheeks are flushed with Fastening there
We enter as the chant is done;
And. pausing at the temple gate,
We stand and say. too late, too late!
TOO late, too late.' the poor man cries,
He asks his right, the court delays
Till ruin comes, in fearful guise;
In vain he pleads, in vain he prays,
The law requires too much debate,
And justice comes too late, too late!
''Tco late, too late" rho has not said,
Th. post is out,-the train is gone,- -
The time is aed,-the debt not paid,
The aid not sought,-the work not done :
Neglect makes up life's weary freight,
And then we cry, "Too late, too late. ~

PECULIARITIES OF THE ARABS.

No Arab is ever curious. Curiosity
with all Eastern nations is considered un-
manly. No Arab will stop in the street.
or turn his head round to listen to the
talk of bystanders. No Arab will dance,
play on an instrument, or indulge in
cards or any game of chance; since
games of chance are forbidden by the
Koran. Never, moreover, invite an
Arab to talk a walk with you for plea
sure Although the Arabs are on occa-
sion good walkers, they have no notion
of walking for amusement; they only
walk as a matter of business. Their
temperance, their constant outdoor hab-
its, render all exercise for exercise sake
unnecessary they cannot, therefore, un-
derstand the pleasure of walking for
walking saker What Arabs like best is
to sit still, and when they see Europeans
walking up and down in public place
in Algeria, they say: "Look, look, the
Christians are going mad = The Arab
does not even mount on horeback except
as a matter of business or for his public
fetes and carousals. And when you do
walk you must never walk quickly
Just as in speaking. you should not talk
fast or loud, for the Koran tells you :
"Endeavor to moderate thy step, and to
speak in low tone, for the most dis
agreeable of voices is the voice of the
ass"
Indeed, it was observed by famous
Arab: Countless are the vices of men,
but one thing will redeem them all
propriety of speech And again: "Of
the word which is not spoken l am the
master, but of the word which is spoken
| am the slave The famous proverb,
speech is of silver, but silence is of
gold,' is a motto of Arab origin.
A silent, grave people the Arabs, and
a polite one, too, as we said. very much
given. nevertheless, to highway robbery
on large scale. which they call razzias
in Algeria but the Arabs tent is always
open to you. and you get any amount Of
cous- -coussou, camel's milk. or even roast,
ed mutton if he has it. You will be
treated as guest from God as long as
you are under his roof, after which "your
happiness is in your hands, which means
that your host who fed you in the even
ing may, at decent distance from hia
tent, rifle your saddle bags in the morn
ing, and let the powder speak to you" il
You object, after which, "Allah be merci-
full to you All the Year Round.
