LATTE said this with a dignified
GOODNESS, and as If wishing, by a full
explanation, to dismiss the subject.
Laro did not answer, and LATTE
continued:
81 am reminded to ask you again
IL you will take my advice as to this
present cargo of slaves. l tell you
that the governors recent proclama-
ton will cause trouble, if you attempt
to bring them to New Orleans at pres
ent. Pierre told me, only the day be-
fore l sailed, of some talk he over
heard between Governor Claiborne
himself and two gentlemen with him,
when one of their coach horses cast
a shoe, and they were delayed at the
smithy while our men remedied the
accident"
"Oh, l say, as seems to me I am
always saying nowadays, that your
idea is the right one" was the surly
answer. We'll up sail at midnight,
when we can reckon upon slipping
away from under the nose of that in
fernal Britisher out there, and make
for our own snuggery, where Lazalie
has, no doubt, been wondering at my
being so long away. Once in the
channel that brings us to the Barra
de Hero, and anchored before it, all
the craft England can send would
have hard work to get at us. We will
take the niggers there for awhile, and
turn them out on the island, to work
our crops, until Claiborne takes an
other nap and forgets all about the
recent agitation"
He had, while speaking, again pick
ed up the spyglass, and focused it
upon the man-of-war, where nothing
was changed among the relocated
loungers.
"Have you anything more to say to
Jude?" inquired LATTE, after a few
moments silence upon his part, while
Laro was swearing at the enemy he
was scanning.

ment, to which it returns 100000 or
more clear profit. This is some adj
vance on the good old times, as may
be seen from Bradford's New York Ca
zette of Dec. 6. 1747: Cornelius van
Denburgh as Albany Post designs to
set out for the first time this winter
on Thursday next. All letters to go
by him are desired to be sent to the
postoffice or to his house near the

During the Hudson river navigation
the Albany mail was transmitted by
sloops, but in the winter a messenger,
as above mentioned was required, and
It is probable that he travelled on foot.
The winter average of the eastern and
southern mails is given in the same
paper and same date as follows:

CHAPTER X.

A night had passed, and the island
of Martinique lay browsing in the
sleepiness of midday. In Fort Royal
bay, before the sleepy town, lay three
ships at anchor. The one nearest
shore was brigantine, beautiful in
model and French in build; she car
ried a long eighteen-pounder amid
ships, and her bulwarks were pierced
for lighter guns. This was the "Black
Petrel," and she displayed the Ameri-
can ensign, now hanging limp in the
motionless air, as were the like colors
shown by the Condor" rocking near
by in the lazy tide
Down in the luxuriously furnished
cabin OF the brigantine, Laro and La
f1tte, seated, and in earnest CONVEX
sation, paused OCCASIONALLY to scruti-
nize this craft.
Perhaps she means no mischief"
muttered the former; "but the very
flag she flies, and the red showing on
her decks are enough to set my teeth
<ln edge"
You say you heard ashore last
evening, as did I, that she stopped
only to fill her water butts, and is
bound farther SOUTH"
Lafitte laid down the glass, and
laughed a little bitterly; but he made
neither reply nor comment.
Did old De Cazeneau seem inclin-
ed to treat his granddaughter with
kindness?" Laro inquired, after a
short silence, and as if considering it
wise to change the subject.
Eyes, for all I could see; and he is
likely to do so while she makes no
demand upon his gold"
Laro uttered an oath and drained
his glass.

and more misery ever since his pretty
daughter ran away with that cursed
Englishman, and have often thought
it might have been money in my

Oath According to the Koran.

ALI Achmet, an Arab, was a witness
in the New York court VI special ses-

the Christian oath, saying he would
swear as becomes a member of his
race and faith. He was allowed to do
so, and this was the oath he took: 81

AS he drained his mug and his lips he
smacked
Then he told me of Morgan and Kidd
and Jones,
And ratified their deeds, their chains, and
bones;
While the wind came moaning up from
the sea.
And the tune rose, faint and cracked:
The flag was as red as blood,
With hairy spot o black,
An the Spider barred her deadly fangs
AS she crawled on the windward tack!
He would chuckle bit. then sort OF

When taken to the hospital yesterday morning,
Tramontano was unconscious ard Falconaria so
violent that It took several men 10 hold him
down 1t is thought both men will recover.
The cause OF the trouble is said to be decoc-

his workman drank as a remedy for a disordered
stomach, and which the former at the time be-
lTeved to be of rnalva leaves. Malva leaves are
said to be & regular home remedy OF tho Italians

men drank the decoction both became drowsy,
