The detention of Mr.. SCHENCK is attribu-
ted to the probable settlement Of the trou-
bles between Canada and American fisher
men. 1t appears that England has directed
her provincial authorities to grant licenses
TO our fishermen in Canadian waters. 1t IS
desired that Mr.. S. shall not depart until
this matter is disposed of, so that his IN
structions may be shaped accordingly. Mr..
Rr.T1rR's war will thus be snuiTed out.

MRS. MoYcURE's BooK.-1twasa announced
some time since that Mrs. NJ. 3. MoNcuRE,
of this city, was about to publish book on
cooking and general household economy.
We have it before us, under the title of
"Thc Art of Good Living" 1t is perhaps
the most acceptable book of its kind yet Of
fered the Virginia public. 1t is entirely
practical, and occupies the whole range be-
tween frugal and costly living. We discern
the genius of Virginia society through its
pages. The dearly-prized dishes of the
Virginia homestead are spread before us so
graphically that the mouth waters at almost
every page. In the chapter on breads we
find the "Nirginia Ash-Cake," which won
the heart of this writer, and made him en-
claim, "Tbis book indeed should be in
every Virginia homestead The volume
is not orercrowded, and what it has is all
useful. We commend it to housckeepers.

NEGRO MAsoNs. We clip the fol-
lowing from the Albany argus:

"The fact is remarkable that the
colored people of this State have a
great predilectiOn for the societies.
They have In this State twenty
Masonic lodges, two Royal Arch
Chapters, and an Encampment Of
knights Templar. The colorcd
MasOns hold their charters from the
Grand Lodge of England, but are I'M
recognized by the white Masons OF
this country as yet, though they will
soon allow fellowship. The Lodges oi
Odd Fellows are also multiplying ;
benevolent societies abound; and so
cial and literary clubs occupy their
time. The leading minds among
them have also decided that the
clergy hold an undue influence In pol
itics, and they labor to lessen that
power. They will demand Office OF
the Republicans, or will cease to sup
port them.n To this the Masonic
7fdings adds the following: ave
had supposed that everybody under
stood, by this time, that the colored
Lodges do not hold charters from any
legitimate Grand Lodge, much less
than that Of England. They are
every one of them ciandestine, and
regular made MasoI,s have no right
To have anything to do with them In
a Masonic way. The only way In
which we can ever ALLOW fellowship
Il the regular way, and that II not
likely To come about In hurry"

a STORY OF THE REGULATORS.


1t was my second year In Texas.
had been practiciny medicine.in Gray
son county, on Choctaw creek, during
my.residence in the State. One morn
ing was hastily summoned to the
house Uf one Mr.. Smith, by man
who said that ns he was passing the
house to his work, he saw the door
had been burst open, and thinking
something was wrong, lie entered the
house and found Mr.. Smith and his
wife and son lying on the floor appar-
emily dead. When arrived, I found
the boy, whose age was eight or ten
years, alive but unconscious. He had
been struck on the head with a stick,
and did not return to consciousness
for hours afterwards. Mr.. and Mrs.
S. were dead. The boy was removed
to neighbours house and the dead
were buried. The whole section was
thrown into q fever of excitement and
IA determination to bring the muir
derer's to justice.
The REGULATORS" of which was
n member, searched everywhere for
some clue to the murderers, but in
vain. 1t depended now on the boy
to give some Information, or else it
would be n mystery for n while at
least.
AT last he aroused enough to tell us
that three Indians had attacked the
house sometime during the night shot
his father through thedoor, and burst
in and knocked himself and his
mother senseless. Mr.. Smith had
shot one of the party. This and the
important information we afterwards
succeeded in getting from fisherman,
convinced us that the Indians be-
longed to Jackson Keith's tribe, so
we went to his lodge and demanded
the reason for this act. He said he
knew nothing of 1t, but II he could
detect them, he would deliver them
to us, provided we agreed to deliver
to him all men we caught stealing
from him, which we agreed to do.
The three Indians had taken some of
the plumber out OF the house which
identified them, and they were deliv-
cred to us, and were duly cared for.
We ascertained from one of them that
a white man had hired them to do
the decd.
II was during the search for these
mnrderers we discovered that a band
of thieves had established themselves
in the canebrakes along Red river to
sell whisky to the Indians, This the
Regulators resolved to break up, and
they were assisted by Jackson Keith,
who said II they were not routed,
there would not he II good Choctaw
pony In Southern Indian Territory
In year, for the thieves were giving
"two whole jugfuls" Of whisky to the
Indians for good pony. In the
meantime he had delivered several
noted thieves to us, and we had not
caught one for him, Of which he be-
gan to complain.
One day rs l and friend, whom !
will call wilkins, were talking about
this business, man rode W on very

The GREENE MINE.-The owners Of this mine
wm G. Greene and partner, have lately placed
on the mine a small crusher, pans and other
reduction works, and have made two small runs
Of the rock taken from the ledge They first re-
duced ten tons, which yielded $500 Of $50 to the
ton of melted gold. Another small run Of six
tons and sixteen hundred pounds from differ
ent class of ore was then put through which
turned out S1255 in pure gold, sor nearly 5000
per ton. These are heavy yields, but to all who
have seen this mine and examined the ORE they
are not in the least surprising. The reduction
works placed on this mine are on limited scale,
more care being taken to insure the saving of all
the gold than as to the amount of ore that can
be passed through while at the same time they
can be enlarged to any capacity that the demands
of the mine may require. This is one ct our
most promising mines and has been opened to
an extent that leaves no doubt as to its perma-
