beinga mere gelatinOus luxury "a
reason very patent to the Mongolian
mind, but which it is not necessary
for me to particularise 1t is proba-
BILE that any one prompted by special
curiosity might get his mind enlight-
ened upon the interesting subject by
applying to our worthy fellow citizen,
Mr.. James All Kew, for as much as
Cinnamon so different in most re-
spects to the rest of humanity sell
dom do anything without a substan-
tial reason, and generally have cor
rect understanding of the same. For
many centuries past Chinese mari
ners have frequented the coasts of
the Indian archipelago of New Guinea
and New Holland, and it was from
this course that the northern shores
of that groat island were as well
known to them before the days of
Marco Polo as they are to ourselves at
the present time. When Captain
Flinders was engaged in the first ex-
ploration of that locality he encoun-
tered, in one of the harbors, feet of
vessels, which he at first supposed to
be pirates, but which on closer ac-
quaintance, he found to be Chinese
Tripang fishers, with whom he be-
came very friendly, and from their in
telligent commodore he received some
valuable information, and was shown
by him chart showing the features
of the principal points of the coast,
and their relative positions to those
of New Guinea and Tinsor. There
can be no doubt that it was from this
source that the Dutch navigators of
former days derived the information
which directed them to the discovery
of New Holland, and set the Span
iards speculating upon the precise To-
cality of that land which they were
the first to name Australia.
AS concerns maratime enterprise
in the coral seas no traffic has ever
done more towards assisting the
progress of discovery than the tri-
pang trade of China, not excepting
the sperm whale fishery, for as much
as the whalemen generally do but
find islands, the beche-de-mer fishers
land and live upon them until their
cargoes are completed, and thus have
been able to supply information not
by other means Obtainable.
1t is commonly supposed that the
market price of this singular sub
stance in its prepared state is subject
to great fluctuations. This is not
really the case. The difference in
price has in the most cases arisen
from the condition in which the arti-
Gle was delivered in China. AS the
superiority, or otherwise, of certain
samples is not question of seasons
or circumstances over which the
fishers have no control, but simply of
sufficient experience, and due pre-
caution, or vice versy. l purpose
next to describe circumstantially the
different processes of preparation and
stowage as practiced by those who
have been most successful in the
trade.

OutwittIng a Lawyer.

We noticed in late Western DEM
Ocrat that one johnson Smith had
been tarred and feathered in Lewis
or Gilmer. We don't like to own it,
but in order to get in good joke
we'll have to ''fess up" that Johnson
once lived in Barbour. / suppose he
was arrested here for stealing one
hundred times, more or less, but /
am going to tell about one particular
steal, that of old Mr.. Hollis bacon,
some sixteen or seventeen years ago.
Johnson had stolen quantity of ba-
con from that old gentleman, who
was his neighbOr, and took it to Wes-
ton and sold out to Samuel Kemble,
and came back loaded with dry goods,
groceries, DC. He was soon arrested
and brought before the examining
Court for trial Mr.. Woods, whom
johnson never failed to appeal to
when he was in danger, and who new
er failed to be his "MOses," was again
sought, and the wits of the counsel
were terribly agitated for his clients
safety. Public opinion was against
him, the evidence was said to be con-
elusive. Kemble had never seen
Smith before he bought the bacon,
but was satisfied he was the man and
he knew him, but the counsel was
equal to the emergency. The trial
approached. The prisoner was in
jail. The finest broadclOth suit OF
the country was dotfed by the cOun-
sci, and donned by the client, and
he marched to the court house. The
trial commenced, the corpus deIicti
was proven, and Mr.. Kemble was put
upon the stand, but he utterly failed
to identify the old thief in his fine
suit and the prosecution failed. But
the laughing part came in just after
that, when the old rascal quietly got
up, after his acquittal, and with the
air of a pleader walked off with the
good clothes on, and never said turkey
to his accommodating attorney since,
who gained one suit and lost one and
a fee too. We'd advise the people OF
Lewis to hang the old cuss; he's lived
too long now.-COr. Wheeling Reg

A North " estern Thieves Colo
ny.
From the New York Times

According to reports, the authen
ITCHY of which cannot well be doubt
ed, a colony of thieves and murder
ers has been fourishing for a con
siderable time past in British terri
tory at the foot of the Rocky Noun
tains. 1t is supposed to consist at
present of five hundred men and
number of women and children.
Most of the men have been outlawed
for crimes committed in the United
States. One of the chief products
of the colony is a sort of whisky,
which has proved exceeding palata
BILE to Indians. AS a consequence,
the latter trade their choicest furs for
it, and sell their superfuous women
into slavery in order to lengthen the
period of their orgies. The cOlOnists,
it is said, never fail to take advantage
of opportunities thus presented, not
only to rob the red men of their
blankets and other portable property,
but also to deprive them of their
scalps. Still, the Indians thirst for
whisky is so strong that he continues
to trade in the manner described.
The exploits of the five hundred hav-
ing at last been heard of by the Cana
dian Government, mounted police
force of three hundred men has just
been organized, and if everything
goes right, the base of the Rocky
Mountains will be the scene of a bat
tie before the 4th of July. The po-
lice force is composed of the most ac-
tive men to be found in the Dominion,
and is under the command of a Brit
ish Colonel, who was sent to Canada
to give instruction to militia officers.
The attractions of the service upon
which it is to enter it seems are so
great that several French and Eng
lish noblemen and gentlemen have
Joined the ranks. 1t is reported that
one young English gentleman, after
having agreed to go, became so en-
amored of his work that suddenly
acquired estate giving an income of
$15O,OOOa year did not prove potent
enough to cause his resignation. The
laws governing the force are such
that the utmost punishment which
can be inflicted for a breech of dis
cipline is expulsion.
The pay can not certainly be con-
sidered an inducement to undertake so
hazardous an enterprise, for the sub
constables are only to receive seven
ty-fve cents (gold per day. 1t may
be that the promise Of grant of one
hundred and sixty acres of land to
each for three years. service, has
something to do with the eagerness
to enlist, but even this is doubtful. |
1t is more than probable that all the
men are impelled by pure love OF
adventure. If so, the chances are
that they will have to do good deaI
of heavy fighting before the laws OF
the Dominion are respected in North
western Territories. The five hun
dred thieves intrenched at the foot OF
the Rocky Mountains may be expect
o5 NOT to surrender either themselves
or their ill-gotten gains without des-
perate resistance.
Some time ago, it appears, they |
made raid into the United States
and carried back with them several
pieces of artillery, which they have

Antony and Cleopatra.
BY WM. H. LYTLE. =

''I am dying, Egypt. ."-[Shakespeare
l am dying, Egypt, dying.
Ebbs the crimson life-tide fast,
And the dark, Plutonian shadows,
Gather on the evening blast,
Let thine arm. oh Queen, support me,
Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear,
Listen to the great heart secrets,
Thou, and thou alone, must hear.
Though my SCARED and veteran legiOns,
Bear their eagles high no more,
And my wrecked and scattered galleys,
Strew dark Actium's fatal shore;
Though no glittering guards surround
me,
Prompt to do their masters will,

Die the great Triumvir still.
Let not Cesar's servile miniOns,
Mock the lion thus laid low;
d" "'Twas no foeman's hand that felled
him,
"'Twas his own that struck the blow.
Hear, then, pillowed on thy bosom,
Ere his star fades quite away,
Him, who, drunk with thy caresses,
Madly flung world away!
Should the base plebeian rabble
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, Octavia,
Weeps within her widowed home,
Seek her, say the gods have told me,
Affairs, augurs, circling wings,
That her blood, with mine commingled,
Yet shall mount the throne of Kings.
And for thee, star-eyed Egyptian!
Glorious sOrceress of the Nile,
Light the path to Stygian horrors
With the splendors of thy smile;
Give the Caesar crown and arches,
Let his brow the laurel twine,
| can scorn the Senate's triumphs,
Triumphing in love like thine.
1 am dying, Egypt, dying;
Hark! the insulting foeman's cry!
They are coming-quick, my falchion
Let me front them ere die.

Shall my heart exulting swell,
Isis and Osiris guard thee,
Cleopatra! Rome Farewell!

Keeping Up Appearances.

Extravaganza is the rock on which
society is going to pieces, Let us face
the danger before it is too late to avert
it. Single people shrink from marriage
because they see married people are liv-
ing in a perpetual whirl of bills and
competition and social hypocrisy. An
air of co ommon deception hangs around
all our houses. We are afraid to be
poor. On one thousand year, how
shall we keep up the appearance of
three thousand That is the standing
social problem. In such a case, luxury
in the parlor necessitates meanness
somewhere else. Our lace curtains tell
dreadful lies. Let us have . reform
and come down to a specie basis. The
well.to-do people ornament their houses
with mortgages. The poor run bills.
High pressure marks all life from the
cottage to the mansion, and in three dl-
rections it is ruinous.
1t is financial ruin.
Any man who puts dollar into ap-
pearances is on the way to sink for>
tune in the same miry slough. Living
costs about twice what it ought, fully
twice in America what it does in Eu-
rope. There is no reason for 1t. This
is land of grain and fruits, and abund-
ant work. The man who spends two
thousand year could live on one thou
sand and be happier. Perhaps not in
deed by himself. The social level needs
to sink from extravsgance to thrifty
economy. If this is the way out Of
natioual trouble, it is doubly the way
out of family worries. Bebrave enough
to decline appearances. Be honest
straight through your domestic arrange
ments, though he two.story must yield
to the cottage, and thepudding to corn
meal.
1t is mental ruin.
The money that is spent on horses
and dress and table unnecessarles would
fill all our homes with books. The ex-
pensive furniture wonld be well replace
ed by pictures, TO be a constant refining
and enlightening influence. The mon
ey it costs many family of moderate
means to keep up four weeks OF appear

months of scrimpng in the kitchen and
general meanness all around.
1t is moral ruin.
People cannot Systematically deceive
without moral penalty even though the
lies are velvet and silken. The penalty
comes in the loss of self-respect. The
man who mortgages his property to
keep up the family style thereby mort
cages his name to the devil. Instead
of studying moral philosophy to find
the causes of general social disorder
loosening of home bonds and lowering
of purity-let us come down to an hon.
est way of living. Let us make our
carpets and table aud our clothes tell
the truth, and then perhaps our children
will. A blight will surely fall on all
our social life unless we recover our
selves from that great american vice
truckling-and live honestly before
men. The seeds of hypocrisy are in
the heart of every child that goes out
from a household whose life is a sham
In vain we preach honesty and. .sincerl-
ty from the pulpit, so long as the life
from the pulpit wood to the home
management is all pretense. Society,
you must come down and dare to ap-
pear what you are.-Interior.
