IMPORTANT INVESTIGATIONS.

Selling Citizens of Florida into Slavery
| Are the Cuban Patriots Pacified?
| Several weeks ago. says Washington
telegram, the President received q let.
fer from reliable source stating that
| the writar was in possession of facts capa-
BILE of direct proof to the effect that col
ored men. citizens of Florida, had been
kidnapped and transported across the
Gulf of Mexico to Cuba. and there sold
into slavery. The writer says members
| of the families of some of the enslaved
citizens had received intelligence from
Cuba. from their relatives, stating that
they were held in bondage there, and the
matter was communicated to the Chief
Executive of the United States for such
action in the premises as might he deemed
best calculated to yindicate American
dignity in view Of q procedure so grossly
in violation of the civilization of the
times. The contents of the letter occa-
stoned much surprise to the President
With view of ascertaining the truth of
the statement, he concluded to dispatch
confidential agent to Cuba for that
purpose. Such agent was found in
Judge Leonard, Republican member
from Louisiana in the House of Repre-
sentatives, a gentleman discreet and cour-
teous, ard familiar with the Spanish Ian
guage. Tt was thought advisable to ur-
sue this discreet course instead Of max
ing the subject the basis of diplomatic
correspondence. Judge Leonard, few
days ago, obtained indefinite leave Of ab-
n
New York for Havana on tae
steamship Columbus on Wednes-
day last, carrying with him o
letter from President Hayes to the Cap
tain General, and also one from Senior
Mantilla, Spanish Minister, addressed
to the same officer, to whom Judge
Leonard will make known the object of
his mission. It is not doubted that the
Captain General will afford him every
facility for the accomplishment OF his
mission, besides extending his own in
vestigations in the same direction. An
other object of the mission is to ascertain
the true condition of the insurgents,
official accounts and those from insur-
rectionary sources being contradictory.
While one side represents decline of
the instruction, the other asserts to the
contrary, and agents have been here in
behalf of the insurgent Oubans, with
view to the recognition of their indie
pendence by the United States. The
Captain General will doubtless extend
to Judge Leonard the necessary facili-
ties for visiting the insurrectionary dis
trict, as Spain uniformly shows dispo-
sition to preserve and strengthen friend
~ relations between Spain and the
United States, which have never been
more amicable than they are now.
Should it be found true that negroes
are kidnapped in Florida, or any other
Southern State, and conveyed to Cuba
and sold into slavery, immediate means
will be adopted to prevent all such fu-
ttlre outrages on persons and violations Of
international law. The objects of the
mission are not publicly known, care
having been taken to conceal them, but
the above statement is confirmed in
quarters which leave no room for doubt.

A man in the northern part of the
province of Rio Janeiro has confessed
upon his deathbed that he was the real
author of the murder of family of eight
persons in 1852, for which wealthy
planter, by name Motta Coqueiro, and
three of his slaves were executed in 1856.
The house in which the victims lived was
set on fire after the crime had been COM
mitted. Suspicion having fixed itself on
Motta Cooaeiro, he and three Of his
slaves were brought to trial. The evil
dence was weak, but so strong was the
feeling against the planter that the jury
found him guilty, and the Court Of Re
latlOn at Rio confirmed the sentence OF
death. He and his friends strenuously
asserted his innocence, and, when it was
found hopeless to obtain bis acquittal,
every possible effort was made to induce
the Emperor to grant him a pardon. It
is even said that sums amounting to
$3.50. 600 were promised to persons
around the Empress to induce them to
enlist her sympathies on behalf of the
condemned man, and thus, by means Of
her intercession with the Emperor, to
attain the object in view. All, however,
was in vain. The Emperor was firm; the
Empress declined to interfere; the Gov
eminent sent a vessel of war to Macahe
to prevent any attempt at rescue, and
Motta Coqueiro and his three slaves were
executed for q crime which it now turns
out they never committed. The man
who lately died acknowledged that he,
assisted by some of his dependents, de-
llbezately L urdered oil the inmates OF
the house, which they afterward burned.
The doubts which arose as to the justice
of Motta Coqueiro's fate and of those
who suffered with him, after their exc
cution, are supposed to have raised an
uneasy feeling in the Emperor's mind,
and he has since, it is stated, shown a
great disincEnation to allow sentences Of
death to be carried into effect.

One way of Becoming Wealthy.

John Rhodes, of Hounslow, England,
dressed as tramp, denied himself the
necessaries Of life, and took to the road.
He lately died, and his fortune was
found to be over 100000. The man
bequeathed it to various metropolitan
charities. A similar instance Of eccen-
tricity occurred in Marseilles. The OBJ
ject Of the miser was to build an aque-
duct to convey water into the city free,
and it was done. During the life of the
Frenchman he was ridiculed, despised,
and, Like Stephen of old, came near be-
ing stoned on account Of his rags and
his meanness.

RemarkahIe Phenomenon.

About twelve years ago Mrs. Weis, an
estimable lady aged about 60, died at
her home near this city, and her remains
were inferred on the farm of q relative.
Mr. Jacob Kepf, about two and half
miles north of Fort Wayne. AS the
farm was about to pass out OF the hands
Of the family, the body was yesterday
disinterred for the purpose Of being re-
moved to Underwood Cemetery. The
coffin, which had been wasting in damp
place, was found to be well preserved.
When opened the remains presented q
most striking appearance. The feat
ures were unchanged, having altered in
no respect since death. The body was
completely petrifed, every portion of 1t
being as hard as q rock. When struck
with the hand the resulting sound was
as loud as If stone wall had been hit.
Mrs. ". was very large woman in her
lifetime, and when she died weighed
about 200 pounds. The weight of the
body yesterday was SO great That it taxed
to the utmost the strength OF six large
men to move it. The lines of the face
were hardened, and the entire bedy was
IS rigid as a bronze statue The re-
mains were complete, with the excep-
ton of the feet, which were gone, there
being only two small bones left, which
were detached from the ankles. The
body was brought to this city yesterday
and reinterred in Underwood Cemetery.
Mrs Weis was the mother-in-law Of

surrendered. and I secretly slipped my
boots off. This was mistake; I was not
able to get them on any mere. It was a
rainy night, there were no omnibuses
going our way, and as [ walked home,
burning up with shame, with the girl on
one arm and my boots under the other,
I was an object worthy of some compass
sion, especially in those moments of
martyrdora when I had to pass through
the glare that fell upon the pavement
from street lamps. Finally this child of
the forest said, "Where are your boots p

fitting finish to the follies Of the evening

NapoleOn,S Prophecies.

The rapid march of events during the
past year in Eastern Europe recalls to
mind the prophecy of Napoleon, that in
fifty years Europe would be Cossack or
republican, and supplies some curious
verifcation. The Conversations which
he held with the Englishman O'Meara,
as he paced back and forth in his re-
stricted quarters at ST. Helena, have
been preserved by the latter and record
ed in book form. We cite a few of
them, as showing how closely the great
Emperor looked into futurity. Upon
one occasion he said to O'Meara
In the course Of few years Russia
will have Constantinople, the greatest
part Of Turkey, and all Greece. This I
h"lS - - e@@ tair - If II had alrn> >,
taken place. Almost all the Cabling
and fattering which Alexander practiced
toward me was to gain my consent to
effect this object I would not consent,
seeing that the equilibrium of Europe
would be destroyed. In the natural
course of things, in few years Turkey
must fall to Russia. The greatest part
of her population are Greeks who, you
May say, are Russians. The powers it
would iniure, and who could oppose it,
are England, France, Prussia and
Austria. Now, as to Austria, it will be
very easy for Russia to engage her as
sistance by giving her Servia and other
provinces bordering on the Austrian
dominions, reaching near Constantine
pie. The only hypothesis upon which
England and France will ever form On
alliance with sincerity will be in order
to prevent this. But even this alliance
would not avail. France, England and
Prussia united cannot prevent it. Rus
STA and Austria can at any time effect 1t.
Once mistress Of Constantinople, Rus
STA gets all the commerce of the Medit-
erranean, becomes a great naval power,
and God knows what may happen. She
quarrels with you, marches off to India
an army of 10000 good soldiers, which
is nothing, and 100000 canMlle, Cos
sacks, and wthers, and England loses
India"
In another conversation O'Meara
asked Napoleon if it was true that Alex
ander once intended to seize Turkey, to
which Napoleon replied
Cali his thoughts are directed to the
conquest Of Turkey. We have had
many discussions about it. At first I
was pleased with his proposals, because
[ thought it would enlighten the world
to drive those brutes, the Turks, out Of
Europe. But, when I reflected upon
the consequences and saw what a
tremendous weight Of power it would
give to Russia, in consequence Of the
numbers of Greeks in the Turkish do
minions, who would virtually join the
Russians, [ refused to consent to it,
especially as Alexander wanted to get
Constantinople, which / would not al
low, as it would have destroyed the
equilibrium of power in Europe"
