SIR bave the b. nor to acknowledge the
receipt OF Mr.. Assistant Secretary Hartley s
letter OF the twenty-seventh ultlmo. submit
ting tor an expression of opinion a commu-
nication from the collector of customs at
New Orleans: also, one from the United
States attorney for Louisiana, wherefrom it
appears that the State court has issued writ
OF injunction to RESTRAIN the collector from
delivering certain imported merchandise to
person who is entitled, under the revenue
laws. to make proper entry, that process be-
ing issued at the instance of private sutton
to settle private rights.
The government should not recognize the
right OF a State court to so interfere with
or Obstruct the collection of duties. Upon
the collector is placed the duty of deciding
under the law to the party entitled to
make entry at the customhouse of goods
subject to duties. and TO submit to State
court the right TO review his decision would
be substantially to submit to the control Of
such tribunal the paramount right of the
government to collect its revenues.
While it is desirable TO avoid the appear
ance Of contempt on the part of the collec-
tor, Yet the jurisdiction of the court must
not be admitted, or its process regarded as
retarding or preventing the proper entry Of
merchandise
The person claiming to be aggrieved by
decision OF the collector has his remedy,
but not in TIE form Of the proceeding in
question.
In the event OF an attachment for con
tempt, not unlikely to happen according
to the suggestion of the district attorney,
proceedings may be removed doubtless to
the United States Court, as provided by
law i'll certain cases. and the question of
jurisdiction over the subject matter may
there he tired.
The papers accompanying Your depart
ment letters are returned.

Aimee.

This sprightly little nightingale appeared
to a large audience last evening, in her
specially Of La GraEde Duchesse.' This
piece has Icing attracted public notice, vet
to-day is as fresh as many pieces written
but year ago. 1t is a piece that can be
seen without sacrifice to the manager or
company. The pretty faces, tie gorgeous
costumes. the military appearance OF the
stage, the capital scenery. the farcical sub
plot, the slight flavor of indecorum the
felicity of the name and the vital interest
of the subject, unite to make il one of the
most pleasing and interesting operas that
OtfeEbach ever wrote.
Aimee as the GranGe Duchesse is one OF the
most fascinating and bewitching creatures
that could be wished for by an audience.
An evening passed listening to TIE beauti
full yet ludicrous trics. quintettes and soma
tas Of composers like Ofenbach can be said
to have been well spent. Freed from the
mingled bewildermenJ and fascination of
symphonic grandeurs, tie mind Of the lis
tener has leisure to study dispassonately
the essential music through the exquisite
grace. the subtle, creative, imaginative
power OF the great master mind. Nothing
but pure jollity reigns: mirth hilarity and
fun characterize the entire performance,
and even when the minor impersonations
are upon the stage the audience appreciates
and applauds them.
The acting Of Noe is not Offenbach's ideal
of Fritz. He presumes too much upon his
voice, ard forgets entirely his character Of
Fritz. At times he was so careless that the
audience noticed it, and be did not meet
with that appreciation that he has received
heretofore. In lis attempts TO be funny
and to carry out his part he failed, probably
for the want of interest Noe is a singer
and an actor who should be careful of his
name. The name Of an opera singer is not
merely procured by voice, but with gestures
and Liquid elecuton." Let him be careful
in future, and guard well his laurels, or
perchance be may lose that which he has %
long and earnestly battled for-taine.

The Diamond Di9gilies.

A letter from DeBeers, in the Afri-
can diamond diggings, has the follow
ing.
"On May 9, tLepost for Cape Town
was exceedingly valuable 1t is certain
that it contained six pounds weight of
diamonds, and the value of this, with
the money orders, bank-notes, and
other currency, is roughly estimated
at from $4,000 to $500,O00 The
mails were made up and heaped by q
window only fastened by a bolt, with
out the security of shutters or rods.
The Postmaster was absent from
his office for ten minutes, during
which time a pane of glass was taken
out of the window, the bolt drawn back,
the window opened, and the bag walked
off with. An amateur detective force,
hundreds strong, was at once organized,
and commenced hunting for the thief.
The post was detained for some hours,
but all i'll vain. Not the slightest clue
has the robber left behind him, and it
is questionable whether, after the long
start he had, he will be ever found" "

First Wheat Grown in America

4 mild flavor of interest attaches to
the results of antiquarian research rs to
the first wheat grown on the continent
It's cultivation in Mexico dates back to
the time of Cortes. This adventure
caused the plants and grains common
Ill Spain TO be introduced into his new
possessions. and few grains Of wheat
stolen from him by ot,o Of the natives;
furnished the seed from which the sup
plies were afterwards scattered through
the whole Mexican region and adjacent
countries. Its first growth III the
United States appears to have
been III Massachusetts in 1902,
! 6asnold, the explorer, sowing it with
some others of the cereal grains. Nine
years later it was introduced into Vir-
ginia, but for as much as a hundred
and fifty years It's acreage was compar-
atively slender, because the raising of
tobacco monopolized most of the efforts
of agriculturists. It was raised in
New York state, at the then colony of
New Netherlands, before 1866, as is
shown by the fact that in that year a
ship carried tC Holland samples of this
grain, together with rye, oats, barley,
brckWheat, beans and flax. In the
West wheat was introduced into the val
ley Of the Mississippi i'll 1918, where
much complaint was made, at that time
and after, that it ran into leaf and
stalk, but only very little to ear, yield
ing only from five to eight fold. 1t
was twenty-eight years before western
wheat culture had developed sufficient,
ly to enable six hundred barrels OF fioul
to be sent annually from Wabash tc
New Orleans. But we read that lit
tie later, in 1850, the French in Illinois
raised three times as much as WAS
needed for home consumption, the sur
plus, like that from Wabash, beng
sent to the entrepot on the gulf

OFF Thunder Bay.

LEGEND OF LAKE HURON, l772.
CONSTANCE T. Woolson, in Harper's Magazine fol
July.l
g We sail we sail in our Mackinac boat
Over old Huron GO:
Above above the summer clouds float,
Sailing afoft 1s we sail below:
Behind us the north wind sings in our wake
Wing g-and-wing she bears away:
And off 10 the right DER the sparkling lake
Looms up the headland of Thunder Bay"
Her brown hands toy with the flowers in her lap
Spicy juniper balsam sweet
Her black hair waves from her red-beaded cap
Down to her little moccasincd feet.
Alone with ourselves, alone with our love
Wing -aud-wing through the summer day
We sail below. and the clouds sail above,
Ger the deep water off Thunder Bay"
Upon the Evergreen Isle in the north
The Indian mother silently waits
The old French father strides back and forth
And halls the ship coming through the straits
g Ho. brave voyageur our child hast thou seen
Petite Marie Flower of the Sn ow2
We { 4 but the fringe of her mantle uroep,
The print of her foot off Tuskenoe."
ss All oui Antoine, cries the yoyag.nr
g Down ON Huron her boat met;
But blue eyed stranger was with La Fleur,
And all the canvas southwark set
The wind was fair, the boat sailed Mt its best
Wing-and-wng went dancing away;
They sailed southeast we were tacking northwest
We passed each other off Thunder Bay"
Ger the island fort the English flag waves
English soldiers pace to and fro
Behind, the plateau with Indian graves
A little French town on the beach below.
The old commander comes down from the height.
Halls the vessel with pompous mein:
g A young sIbaltern escaped last night
A boat sailing southwark have you seen J"
&c All, oui Capitaine,'' cries the voyageur,
Bowing before the gold laced form;
" We saw a young soldier with sweet La Fleur;
We caught the gleam of his uniform.
Two lovers behind and two sails before,
Wing-and- wing they vanished away
First a sail, then specl1, then nothing more
Save the blue otiing of Thunder Bay"
The Indian mother soon passed away
Passed away with her fading race;
But year after year, day after day,
French Antoine watched with eager face
Watched the long point of the BOs-B Blanc shore
Watched for his child with longing pam
Watched for the sail-boat that came no more;
Watched out his lingering life in vain,
The cross of st. George came down from the height
Stars and Stripes wave in Hurons breeze
A hundred long years have rolled into night
A navy dots the fresh water seas
But still the lake sailors see the white sails
Wing-and-wing a summer day;
AS the boat glides past them the soldier halls,
And they hear his song off Thunder Bay
&C We sail, we sail in Mackinac boat
Over old Huron on we 60;
Above, above the summer clouds float
Sailing aloft sail below:
Behind the north Wind sings in our wake
Wing-andswng he bears us away;
And Uh TO the right DER the sparkling lake
Looms up the headland of Thunaer Bay"

Slave BOuntieS.

The British Government allows to
taptOrS of slave vessels Off the African
cost q premium of four pounds ster-
ling ton on each vessel captured, or
five pounds head on each slave found
OH Beard the SLAYER From the report
of these bouiitiEs the slave trade does
not seem to be foarisbins as well as
formerly During the eighteen mofiths
endiiig January, 1872. only twenty-four
vessels were cultured IL ali, and of
them only six were restored to their
owners. Seven hundred and tweifty
two Africans were found on them, OF
whom two hundred and eighty-three
were returned TO the vessels, and three
hundred and seventy-seven were eman-
cipated, the other sixtytwo dying be-
tweeft the capture and condemnation
of the vessels. LII one case, where only
two slaves were captured, the bounty
amounted to eight hundred and eight
pounds. By the head it would have
amounted to only ten pounds, but the
captors were careful to calculate It by
the ton. Did it never occur to any
speculative wretch that money might
be made out of this arrangement? +? For
instance, half a dozen old schooners
might be chartered, an African placed
on each, and then put where they would
be sure to be captured, arrangements
having been made beforehand fol- dl-

American character-an indisposition to SPEAK
out our political sentiments unless we fee
sure of d majority-has been dexterousl,
played upon by politicians. They say that the
Democratic party consents to the nomination

But II every Democrat spoke his mind freely al
