A Sfrange Story,

Two daughters Of Southern planter
are now slaves in Brazil. The planter
eniisrated thither at the close of the war,
and was unsuccessful The Brazilian laws
are such that when a citizen becomes in
debt, if he has no property, Ms children
are sold as slaves, the prices they bring
going to the payment of the obligation.
Our friend, says the Nashville Rrpubtic-
an Banner, when he reached Brazil un-
wisely became naturalzed and South
American citizen, and subject to the laws,
thus, by his own voiton, expatriating
himself from his native country and its
protection. He became involved in debt
to some Brazilians. His children were
sold as slaves Thus, his two daughters
now grown Tennessee young ladies, are
slaves, doing menial work for unlettered
masters and mistresses in Brazil, their
price paying devoted but unfortunate
fathers debt The amount of the debt,
we understand, is $1,000 in gold, and
steps have been taken to have the amount
placed in the hands of the father.

A young man who fell from a train at
Johnstown, Penn, and was severely in

THE APPoRTIoNMENT BlLL,-After a
long struggle in which both the House
and Senate seemed determined not to
yield, compromise bill has been agreed
upon, and was finally passed on Friday
night Under the new bin the Senate is
to consist of thirty members, and this
and the surrounding counties are appor-
toned as follows
Perry is in the 18th district which
is comprised of Perry, Snyder, Northum-
berland, and Union counties--electing
one Senator. Cumberland and Franklin
together form the nineteenth district,
and elect one Senator, Adams and York
comprise the Goth district, and elect one
Senator The 22d district is comprised
of Juniata, Mifliin, Huntingdon, and
Centre, and elect one Senator.
The House is to consist of one hundred
members Dauphin and Perry, together
are to elect three members. Cumberland
Franklin, Adams, and Huntingdon are
each to elect one member. Snyder and
Union together elect one member York
elects two members.
Having finally disposed of this trouble
some question, it is to be hoped that both
Houses will 60 to work in earnest, or else
adjourn. There is no doubt, however
but what an adjournment would really be
the most acceptable to the people of the
State, if the doings so far this winter arc
a specimen Of what we may continue tc
expect. .'''H

A Large Bond Robbery--The Plunder
returned by Mail.

The New York Sun of the Goth inst
says -
Messrs William +. Hoppin and Fred
erick Ii Whitemore are the joint guardi-
ans OF tho estate of the late Isaac 9.
Whitemore and their office is in the third
story of 80 Pine street. 1t is the custom
of these gentlemen to examine the assets
aud accounts Of the estate at stated peri
DDS and as the bulk of the property is in
registered securities, the examination ne
cessitates visit to tho bank where the
bonds are deposited. ..U ..."..
On the third of November last Mr..
Whitemore went to the Bank of America
ut =. NJ aud drew therefrom tin box
containing the bonds and securities afore-
said. He took it to Mr.. Hoppins office,
aud not finding that gentleman, placed
the box in the open vault in the outer
office, and leaving word that he would re-
turn in half an hour, went out. Scarcely
hud he reached the foot of the stairs
when two well dressed strangers who had
followed him from the bank entered the
office and asked for Mr. Hoppin. Not
finding him one of them went into the
small rear office to write him q note. as
he said, while the other stood in the main
Office. Stranger No. was accompanied
by the only clerk in the office, while the
other visitor was alone with the book
keeper. The latter being intent on his
books did not notice the stealthy move,
ment of the thief TO the vault and was
equally. .unobservant Of his exit with the
valuable tin box. AS stranger No. 2 re.
tired, stranger No. / hurriedly folded his
note, left it on Mr.. Hoppin's desk, and
with polite "good afternoon" followed
him h..n. ....I r.. ...
When Mr.. Whitemore returned he
missed the box, and ran to the New street
Police Station and gave the alarm
Detective Doyle was detailed to work
up the case, but having only the uusub
stantial data above given, could Of course
effect nothing. .-...r- .,
From that day until Monday last tht
fate of the tin box and its conteuts wa,
one of the unsolved mysteries But OF
Monday aftcrnoo while Mr.. Hoppin wa,
seated in his Office a Post Office letter
carrier, laden with packages like those 81
literally sent by our members of Congress:
atthe Governments expense, came puff.
ing in and laid his load on table There
were eight large packages covered with
stamps aud when Mr.. Hoppin opened
them he found all The stolen securities
without a single word of explanation.
The packages have city post mark
and were directed in a passably- gooC
hand. The amount of the securities il
about $350000. rl. #a ..1..
The return of the bonds is attributed
to the fact that they are not negotiable
without danger Of detection.

RfV- An aged and respectable citizen
of New Albany, Indiana, not having
heard from an absent son for eight years,
was induced to believe him dead, having
been so advised by Spiritualists, who pro-
fessed to have had communication with
the deceased. The hthor was himself a
Spirtualist, and believed that he frequent
ly held communication with his dead SON.
But few weeks since he received a letter
announcing that his son was alive aud in
good health, residing in Australia. Faith
in Spiritualism has been most decidedly
shaken in New Albany by the circum-
stance.

that English, the Democratic candidate,

Bfay- The editor of the Newark Courier
read, in the account of the wedding of
the Princess Louise, a description of the
chapel in which the writer said that the
nave was decorated in the most gorgeous
manner in honor of the event, the wa
wing of cloud of banners by those who
stood by, making the beauty of the nave
most conspicuous When this Newark
editor perused these words, his republican
soul was filled with Indignation at the
honor done by royaty to what he thought
was "knaye," and so he seized his pen,
and wrote fercely: "After this, who
can have any respect for Queen Victoria 2
At the very wedding of her daughter
she deliberately, selected a notorious
knave-some yillainous oifshoot Of a
bloated and debauched aristocracy, with
out doubt-placed him in the most con
spicuous portion of the church, dressed
him up to attract attention to him, and
employed persons to wave banners over
him. From the hideous picture we turn
away with loathing and horror, and cling
more earnestly to our beloved republican
simplicity. Thank heaven! we had a
Washington to teach us to despise this
debalched royalty. The American eagle
screams forth his hatred of its corrup-
ton, and the bright beams of the
sun Of Liberty seems more beautifully
golden when contrasted with its black
ness. The Newark man who so honored
knaye publicly, at his daughters we'd
ding, would be hooted from the town"
