THE MYSTERIOUS FLOATING

Early in the beginning of 1800—
the exact date unfortunately cannot
be supplied , --an .even t occurred which
'disturbed and , amazed the inhabitants
of the Island of Barbadoes. News
bad bean afloat some thus in the
spring of the year of the mysterious
death of a black fisherman, who was,,
it is presumed, well known, since his
diSappearanee (even in thoSe „times a,
negro more or less was not a matter
of importance)
,created considerable
'sensation in the parish to Nylfich he
beloirged, and indeed all over Barba
ddes:-.i It seemed,impOsstble however
notwithstanding that several people
were arrested on ,suspieion, to fix the
guilt upon any body. The clothes of
the murdered man—for ho had' met
with n violent death, if the testimony
of the ground steeped in blood be of
any weight—werc discovered in a
wood :by some stray people, acid were
produced at a renewed committee of
inquiry. But his jacket which was a
coarse, knotted earment, such as
fishermen wear on some English
coasts, was nowhere to be Found, nor

mystery alone gave importance to
the wretched negro's disappearance;
but though unsolrnd it began to lose
interest, and Wag dying a natural
death; when,' one morning; an inimb
itant of St. Phillip's parish stasrgered
the local anthoritirss by' a report that
the murdered man's jacket was fl Elt
ing in the. middle of Tudor's pond,
which was inclosed in an state hard
by the main road, and in the centre
of a field, through hich it was ap
proached by a narrow walk or foot
path
Aviv rushed. hundreds of gaping
blacks and wllitos to ihci spot ; and
there. sure enough was to be seen,
floating about-in the middle of Tu
dor's pond, a fisherman's blue jacket.
The- news spread like fire among
the canes, i) use a Ineal illustration)
and in a very short space of time a
great crowd enilsonpassed the pond.
The authorities, roused by this
fresh stiniulus into a hope of obtain
ing-some eine to the agent of the late
murder, now appeared ,upon the scene,
butonly just in Lime to see the jack

Some dimeuity an( o.
their carriage, heats arrived and
were launched into the pond. Alter
some hours of unavailing labor the
boats were pulled upon the banks
and the crowd separated—full of sur
mises, suspicions, - theories, and of
hints at 'Mesh, the negro's point d'
appui of superstition. The mystery
however, -was not to end here; for
the next day a large; concourse as
sembled at the same time between
eleven and twelve in the morning—
to_ watch for the possible. reappear
enee Of the jacket. gunctually at
twelve, o'clock the blue garment rose
'to the surface Of the pond. 'Horror
now fairly tools • possession of the
-spectators some ran for guns and
others for the Governor.,
Down came the authorities, with
the chief official. .Tl4ere was the
jacket floating calMly.
A boat put out by order of his ex
cellency, the Governor, and its occu
pant rowed up to the mystery ;,,the
boat crept on, nearer and nearer 7—
till a man in the bows cautiously ex
tending his oar attempted to secure
the jacket.' -
Just as he seemed on the point of
touching it down it sank like lead.—
The rowers backed water a little and
waited.' The jacket alter a brief
Space, rose again in the seine spot.—
This Lime the boat made a rush at it
—but once more the thing disap
peared before the oar could reach it.
The Governor now gave orders that,
on its appearance, the jacket should
be fired at: Accordingly the crack
shots awaited its rising, with their,
rifles fixed in their sboUlders and
pointed at the centre of the pond.--
They Were not - disappointedup
came the jacket, and oti"its reaellin'g
the surface a dozen bullets' riddled it.
The jacket, however, didn't sink;: the
water was white with the dashing of
the bullets and the object of
. their
aim was severely agitated, but, it was
not till they pushed out and the boat
approached that it sank-;—but then it
went down like a stone ; - and it be
ing by this time one o'clock, it 'rose
no more that day, The island mins
now in a ferment of doubts and fears;
scientific men (there were not many,
it must be confessed, in the island at
that time) shook their heads after
Vainly emleavering to find a natural
reason for this strange occurrence
"It roust he a hoaX," they said aloud,
but hoW, a hoak could possibly be
worked in the centre of a pond they
did not attempt to explain. Day af
ter day, at twelve o'clock precisely,
the goblin jacket rose to the surface
of Tudor's pond, and day after day,
eluded all efforts to secure it. 'Tile

they were compelled to come up
again and rest, while the provoking
jacket would slowly rise before them
as if in scoffing. ViSitors from va
rious adjacent islands arrived—the
best shots, the most noted swimmers
would try their respective skill, but
fruitlessly. Approaching the jacket
as closely as possible, the swimmers
would dash out from their boat ap
parently upon the jacket, but they
never succeeded in patching it: Day

Writer of "this-paper) Was to the effect
that Some fish had got entangled in
the jAcket-which Might have been
thrown into the pond by the suppos
ed murderer—and so in its struggles
to escape, and for fresh air,. have
dragged the jacket to the surface of
the pond. Thie,is fair enough so far
as the mere rising of the jacket arid
its elusion of pursuit are concerned,
but was it that it rose and sank
fit precise intervals? and how was it
that no traces Were discovered when'
the pond was dredged and dragged t
Furthermore . , is it likely - that out of
tl e hundreds of bullets actually fired
into the jacket not one succeeded in
killing this entangled fish?

ANDREW JACKSON
It was during - the business depres
sion iof the winter. of 1844, that an at
tempt, was made, to assassinate Presi
dent. Jackson, by a young house:
painter_ TheyourT man furnished
himself with two well loaded pistols,
a.nd as the President and OterS
came. out upon the•eastern portico cif
the .C./apital, in or funeral procession,
he lii:led - one• of them at the breast
of , Jackson. : The percussion capes-
ploded; but did! not ignite

der. The 'LlSBil9Bill dropped the tin;
and instantly pre
- reS I; ruMiem:
with his uplifted cane, and. he was
soon secured The failure of thin pis-
tnls was remarked -as a special inter
position of a kind Providence: They
were fired without difficulty at the
next trial : and each''sent its belle;
through an inch board at the dis
tance of thirty feet.
A few Months before this -occur
rence, the President was attacked by
a cowardly ruffian, While he was on
his way to Fredericksburg:to-lay the
corner stone of a monument to be
erected in memory of the mother of
Washington , While the boat, which
bore the President and :a large cOm
pany'of distinguished Persons down
the Potomac, was laying at the wharf
at Alexandria, the President retired
to the cabin 'and sat behind-the-table ',
next to the berths, quietly smoking '
and reading: A. lietitenant,'reeefitly
dismissed from the navy for inpro•
per conduct, tipproached. the Presi.
dent, as if' to give him a friendly sal
ututioni but instantly struck the von•
erable man in the face. Before- he
could repeat the blow, ho was seized
by the Captain. So anxious Were all
present to ascertain whether Jackson:
was injured, that the friends of the
ruffian were allowed to carry him a
shore and effect his escape. "fiad I
been apprised," said the PreSident,
"that Randolph stood- before me 1
should have hcco prepared for him,
and 1 could have defended myself.—
No-villian has ever escaped me before;
and he would not, had it not been for:,
confined situation." -A few :minutes
afterward, when -a citizen of AleXtin
deiwsaid to the hero, "Sir, it you will
pardon me,in Case I am:tried and con
vieted, I will kill Randolph for this
insult to you, ill fifteen minutes ;"
the President instantly, replied,-"No
Sir, 1 cannot do that." '
Another attempt was made:: upon.

Court found it necessary to define
treason, and this being done, the ju
ry were informed that a 'person wa
guilty of treason, however little the
aid and comfort he had given to the
enemy. If the words alleged wero
spoken in this sense, they imparted a
charge of crime, and constituted slan
der. The evidence tending to show
that .they had been uttered was brief
ly reviewed by the Court. If the jury
were not satisfied beyond a reasona
ble doubt that the defendant uttered
the.words alleged, then the cause
wouldfail entirely.
If the words had been uttered, then
the jury must consider whether they
Were in the nature of a - "privileged
Communication." - The term "privil
eged Comnitmication" . was defined,
and.the.court in Applying the defini
tion to the case - stated that, if the
words uttered by Mr. Allen as alleged
were uttered , to the United States
Marshal hA(Allen) believing them to
be .true,? then thecommunication
would be : privileged, - because it was
the duty of every citizen, if he be
lieved a crime had been committed,
to communicate to the officers 'of the
government, that the offenders against
the law might be punished.
But at the, basis Of this principle
was the element that the communica
tion shoirld be made in good faith,
and if the jury found that the alleged
statement - of the defendant to Mar
shal Keyes was of this nature, then
he would be protected, although the
statement might actually have been:
false. The testimony tending to
show that the allegation of enmity
and malice on the part of the defend
ant in giving the information was
true, was recounted, and the jury
were instructed that they were to be
judges of its weight. If they found
that the representation of the defend
ant: was made in good faith it would
be an answer to this..suit ; if the con
trary, they would find a verdict for
the plaintiff.
If they found that the words Were
spoken, - and that they Were not true,
and .were not privileged, then upon
the first count the question of dam
ages would arise. On the second
count, the plaintiff could recover
special damages by proving not only
that the words were spoken, but that
they were spoken for the purpose of
procuring his arrest, and causing him
to be imprisoned by the government;
and if the - jury found that the wards
were spoken, and for the purpose of
causing his arrest, and were not priv
ileged, then the plaintiff would be en
titled to recover damages for the in
juries he had sustained.
The question of damages must be
submitted to the discretion of the
for his injuries ; and they could not
give additional damage for malice un
less they-found that malice had ag
gravated the injury the plaintiff had
sustained.
The case was recapitulated by the
Court in the following language to
the jury :
"Upon the first count, if you find
the words were spoken,
and bore the
meaning' attributed to them in' the
'declaration, to Charge the plaintiff
with the crime - of treason, then he
will he entitled to damages by reason
of the injury to his character from
those words spoken as they were in
the
,defendant's house on Sunday, to
MessrSl . Wright and Jones. A more
important question is upon the second
count. You are to consider whether
the words spoken to Marshal Keyes,
as alleged, and whether the plaintiff,
having the.burden of proof
,has.satis
fied you that they were spoken, and
Whether they were true.
If they were spoken and were true,
then you will give a verdict for the
defendant. If they ,were spoken and
were not true, then you are to con
sider whether it was a privileged
communication, then your verdict
will be for defendant. If it was not
it will be for you to consider the
q uestion of damages the light of
the principles as J. have stated.
The jury retired at half past 3
o'clock. _At 4 they had evidently
agreed on a verdict for the plaintiff
as they returned for instructions as
to the form of making up daniagee.-
0 ne hour later their verdict wtis seal.
ed and they were discharged.
The verdict was rendered on Fri
day morning, in the following form :
The jury found for.plaintiff on the
-first count, $5O ; and on the second
count, $32,500.
There was a sensation in Court
when the verdict was announced.
