Col. HOOKER AND THE BAPTIsTs 1t
will probably surprise some OF Col Hook

in imputed righteousness. The way OF i:
is in this wise: Last fail after his purchase
of the Hun! estate, and while the grea. and
general court was in session at Mont pelier
some of the Baptist trustees proposed
having survey made to establish the line
between his property and O. the chul Oh.
Tue colonel replied that this was OF no
consequence and that be was satisfied TO
nave thing, remain as they We're. but the
Baptist brethren insisted on running the
lines and employed Mr.. Hines to do the
work. Some time after tais had been
done the colonel awoke 10 the fac. that
there was very suspicious silence on The
question of real estate lines and diigent
inquiry on his part finally brought gu; the
fact that Mr. Hines instruments had shown
me southwest corner Of the church 10 be
standing well over on Hooker's land.
rne brethren said tney were not afraid the
Colonel would use dynamite to correc: the
respa>s, but that they were afraid OF the
tire Of raillery which was sure to follow the
discovery of he true state of affairs. TIE

ACARGo OF SLAvEs,-1n l6t1 occurred
the famous kidnspper case OF cargo OF
slaves from Washington. The slave
driver WAS q man named Slater, and
when he was abo Il 10 start with his load
of human freight. a mulato man ran up
10 him IN Very excited frame of mind
and said that be was abOu. 10 carry of
MS wife who was free woman. Slater
push he'd him rudely aside. and refused to
listen 10 him, making a coarse and brutal
Jest. There was standing uear. R"v. Mr..
S.icer, who was chaplain Of both the
Senate and House of Representatives, and
he laughed heartily at the situation Of the
colored man. Mr. Stevens of Washington,
who was correspondent. of the Boston
WHiq, wrote an account of the affair 10
that iournal in which he denounced the
proceedings in such vigorous terms as we're
in use by The old abolltionists of those days.
The Whig came back TO Washington, and
a copy OF it fell into the hands OF a certain
congressmen from New York, who was
noted as being one OF the mos. illtera.e
men that ever sat in the House. His
instinct told him that the article was good
one, for he had 70 other means OF Judging
the merit of the matter, SO he sat down
and copied it in bis own handwriting, and
affixed his signature. Tue mex; day he
sent it 10 the New York tribune, where
it was Published in full. Rev. Mr.. S!cer
was furious at the attack. and replied TO
the 1r,buaes. letter. The Congressman
did not know which way to turn. He
knew that he was totally unf. to answer

resort. went to Stevens and confessed
what be had done. Offering him hand

BREACHES OF PROMISE IN JAPAS.-The
curious hold superstition has on the mind
of the japanese is very well illustrated by
the proceedings taken by a japanese
.lamsel when lover proves false 10 his
vowes. When the world is at rest, at two
in the morning, the woman rises. She
dons white robe and high sandals or
clogs. Her colt is a metal tripod, in
which are thrust three lighted candles
around her neck she hangs 3 mirror,
which falls upon her bosom; in her left
band she carries small straw figure
the effigy OF her faithless lover-and in
her right she grasps hammer and nails,
which she fastrns the tg1re to one of the
sacred trees that surrounded the shrine.
hen she prays for the death Of the traitor,
vowug that ii her petition be heard, she
will herself pull GU! tie nails which now
IF, nd the god By wounding the mystic
Tree. Night after night she comes 10 the
shrine, ard each nigh. she strikes in two
more nails, believing that every nail will
-horten her lovers life, for the god, 10
save his tree, will surely strike him dead
