(The apprehension of dangers from extended
territory, multiplied states, accumulated wealth,
and augmented population, has proved to be un
founded. The stars upon your banner have 'be
come three times their original number. Your
densely populated possessions skirt the shores of
the two great oceans ; yet this vast increase of peo
ple and territory has not only shown itself compat
ible with the harmonious action of the states and
the federal government in their respective constitu-
Clonal spheres, but has afforded an additional guar
antee of the strength and integrity of both. With
an experience thus suggestive and . , cheering, the
policy of my administration will not be controlled
by any timid feelings of evil from expansion.—Pres
ident Pierces Inaugural Address.]
" Oh glorious Banner of the Free !
Along the. West unrolled,
Do not the cumulated stars
Weigh heavily on thy fold
" Shame on the question—shame to thee !
An hundred more may meet
Above my palos, and still there's room
Upon the standard sheet.
As pante the plain for other flowers,
Beneath the cloudy bars,
Or as the spangled space on high
To hold some other stars—
So pant my folds for other orbs,
And Freedom smiles to see
Their eager trembling--knowing well
That such shall surely be.
The plain shall have its tender wish—
New stars are tatting space
Then come, ye Orbs of State, and fill
Upon my folds youcplace.!"
Thus answered the Banner, with voice like a trum
pet's,
When blown by the breath of a Titan in triumph
" Oh stars upon that standard sheet,
Imparadising air,
Say, as ye glitter in your sky,
Are ye too many there t"
5 . Who asks the question—thou o'er whom
We love to watch and shine?
Thou 1 leave such question to the slave-
In Europe's gloomy mine!
Oh! not for us—for us alone,
Did WARREN bleed anedie—
A hundred starry States shall yet-
Blaze out on Freedom's sky :
And not for us—for us alone,
Mount Vernon glorious stands
A benediction, joy, and hope
To all the fettered lands—
For every star that joins as here
But hastens on the time
When crowns must be the things that were,
And MAN shall live sublime.'!
So answered the stare, and the fur-off Pacific
Reared aloft his broad brow for the Suns golden
blessing.
Oh! Eagle-spirit of the Whole!
Thy wings already spread
From sea to distant sea—canst thou
New climes and nations wed r>
6, Away—away ! thou timid one !
Would'at thou the sunbeam chain 7
The - lightning quench ? the mountain move?
With cobwebs curb the main -
My wings could span a thousand States,
O'ershadow sea on sea—
The Iron-gnome, the Lightning-lord,
Are pledged to work for me.
Hurrah! hurrah! my blenching eyes
On dazzling Future's bent;
One thought, one soul pervades the word—
Man truly roles the sod ;
His life an everlasting hymn
Of Freedom, Beauty, God."
'Twas thus that the eagle but echod the sayings
When angels of old touched the mouths or the
prophets.
Nox.c.—Motherwell is, perhaps, the originator of
the peculiar verse in which the truths are couched.
Probably some old Scandinavian poem suggested
the manner to the Scotch author.

P ONTIUS PILATE IN VIENNE.
. Vienne, in Dauphiny, a province of France, the
ancient capital of transalpine Gaul under the Ro•
mans,'qs situated on the river Rhone. There, on
the left bank of that beautiful stream, is seen a
tomb of an ancient architecture which, according
to tradition, is the tomb of Pontius Pilate—Pilate,
under whose government Jesus Christ suffered.—
Passus est Pontio Pilalo. It *as in Vienne also that
the Wandering Jew revealed himself in 1777—a
most remarkable occurrence, the spot that contain
ed the ashes of the Judge of theßighteous, was to
be trodden upon by a descendant of his accuser.
The following chronicle was extracted from an
old Latin manuscript found in a monastery at Vi
enne:
It was under the reign of Caligula, when C. Mar
cius was pretor at Vienne, that an old man, bent
with age, yet of tall stature, was seen to descend
.from his litter and,enter a house of modest appear
ance, near the temple of Mars. Over the door of
this house was written, in red letters, the name of
F. Albinos. He was an old acquaintance of Pilate's.
After mutual salutations, Albinos observed to him,
that many years had elapsed since their separation.
"Yes," replied Pilate, 'many years—years of mis
fortune and affliction. Accursed be the
. day • on
which I succeeded Valerius Gratus in the govern-
ment of Judea! My name is ominous; it has been
fatal to whomsoever,has'borne it. One of my an
cestors printed an indelible mark of infamy on
the fair front_of imperial Rome, when the Romans
passed under the Candinae Ferculae in the Samnite
war. Another perished by the hands of the Par.
thisea in the war against Arminius. And I—mis
erable me!—
"You miserable asked Albinus, "what have
you done to entail misery on you? True, the in
justice of Caligula has exiled you to Vienne, but
for whet crime?, I have examined your affair at
the Tabutarium. You are denounced by Vitellus,
prefect of. Syria, your enemy, for having christened
the rebelious Hebrews, who had slain the most no
ble of the Samaritans, and who afterwards with
drew themselvei on Mount Garizim. You are also
accused of acting thus out of hatred against the
Jews."
"No!" replied Pilate. "No! by all the gods, Al
binus, it is not the injustice of Cmsar that afflicts
me."
"What then is the cause of your affliction ?" con
tinued Albinus. "Long have I known you—sensi
ble, just, humane. I see it,--you are the victim of
Vitellus:"
"Say not so, Albinus = say not that lam the vic
tim of Vitellus—no; I am the victim of a higher
power! The Romans regard me as an object of
CTsar's disgnxce, the Jews as the severe Proconsul;
the Christians, as the executioner of their God!"
"Of their God, did you say, Pilate? Impious
wretches! Adore a God born in a manger, and put
to death on the cross!"
"Beware, Albinos, beware!' continued*Pilate.-L
"If their Christ had been born under the purple he
would have been adored. Listen. To your friend-
ship I will submit the events of my lite; you will
afterwards judge whether I am worthy of your hos
pitality."
On my arrival at Jerusalem, I took - possession of
the Pretorium, and ordered a splendid feast to
be prepared, to which I invited the Tetrarch'
of Judea, with the high priests and his officers.—
At the appointed hour no guest appeared. This
was an insult offered to qty dignity. A few days
afterwards, the Tetrarch deigned to pay me a visit.
His deportment was grave and deceitful. He pre
terided that his religion forbade him and his attend
ants to sit down at the table of the gentiles, and to
offer up libations with them. I thought it expedi
ent to accept of his excuse; but from that moment
I was convinced that the conquered had declared
themselves the enemies of the conquerors.
At that time, Jerusalem was,.
all conquered
cities, the most difficult to gove So turbulent
were the people, that I lived in momentary dread
of an insurrection. To repress it, I had but a single
Centurion and a handful of soldiers. I requested a
re•inforcement from the Prefect of Syria, who in
formed me that he had scarcely troops sufficient to
defend his own province. Insatiate thirst of em
pire—to extend our conquests beyond the means of
defending them!
Among the various rumors which came to my
ears, there was one that attracted my attention. A
young man, it was said, bad appeared in Galilee,
preaching with a noble unction, a new law in the
name:of the God that had sent him. At first, I
was apprehensive that his design was to stir up the
people against the llomans; bat soon were my fears
dispelled. Jesus of Nazareth spoke rather as a
friend of the Romans than of the Jews:
One day, in passing by the place of Siloe, where
there was a great concourse of people, I observed
in the midst of the grogp a young man leaning
against a tree, who was calmly addressing the mul
titude. I was told that it was Jesus. This I could
easily have suspected, so great was the difference
between him and those who were listening to him.
He appeared to be about thirty years of age. His
golden colored hair and beard gave to his appear.
ance a celestial aspect. Never have I seen a sweet
er or a more serene countenance. What a contrast
between him and his hearers, with their black-beards
and tawny complexions! Unwilling to interrupt
him by my presence, I continued my walk, but sig
nified to my Secretary to join the group and listen.
My Secretary's name was Manlius. He was the
grandson of the chief of the conspirators who en
camped in Etrusia waiting for Catalina. Manlius
was an ancient inhabitant of Judea, and well ac
quainted with the Hebrew language. He was de
voted to me, and was worthy of my confidence
On returning to the Pretorium, I found Manlius,
who related to me the words that Jesus had 'pro
nounced at Silos. Never have I heard in the Por
tico, or read in the works of the Philosophers, any
thing that can be compared to the maxims of Jesus.
One of the rebellious Jews, so numerous in Jerusa
lem, having asked him it it was lawful to give tri
bute to Caesar or not,' Jesus replied: Render unto
Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God
the things that are God's.
It was on account of the wisdom of his sayings
that.l granted so much liberty to the Nazarene; for
'it was in my power to have had him arrested and
exiled to Pontus; but this would have been contrary
to that justice which has always characterized the
Romans. This man was neither seditious nor re
bellious. 1 extended to him my protection, un
known, perhaps, to himself. He was at liberty to
act, to speak, to assemble and address the people,
to choose disciples, unrestrained by any pretorian
mandate.
Should it ever happen--may the Gods avert the
omen l—should it ever happen, I say, that the re
ligion of our forefathers be supplanted by the reli
gion of Jesus, it will be to his noble toleration that
Rome shall owe her premature obsequies—whilst
I, miserable wretch I—l shall have been the ins, ru
ment of what Christians call Providence, and we—
Destiny.
But this unlimited freedom granted to Jesus, pro
voked the Jews—not the poor, but the rich and
powerful. It is true, Jesus wa , severe on the latter,
and this was a political reason, in my opinion, not
to control the liberty of the Nazarene. "Scribes
and Pharisees!" would he say to them, "you are a
race of.vipers !—you resemble painted sepulchres."
At other times he would sneer at the proud aims of
the Publican, telling him that the mite of the wid
ow was more precious in the sight of God.
New complaints were daily made at the Pretor
ium against the insolence of Jesus. I was even in.
formed that some misfortune would befall him—
that it would not be the first time that Jerusalem
had stoned those who called themselves prophets—
and that if the Pretorium refused justice, an appeal
would be made to Caesar of all that happened.—
My conduct was approved of by the Senate, and I
was promised a re-inforcement of troops after the
termination of the Parthian war.
Being too weak to suppress a sedition, I resolved
upon adopting a measure that promised to establish
the tranquility of the city, without subjecting the
Pretorium to humiliating concessions. f wrote to
Jesus, requesting an interview with him at the
Pretorium. He came.
Oh, Albinus! now that my blood runs cold in
my veins, and that my body is bent down under the
load of years, it is not surprising that Pilate should
sometimes tremble; but then I was young—in my
veins flowed the Spanish mixed with Roman blood,
as incapable of fear as it was of puerile emotions.
When the Nazarene made his appearance, I was
walking in my basilic, and my feet seemed fastened
with an iron hand to the marble pavement. He
was calm, the Nazarene—calm as innocence. When
he came up to me, he stopped, and by a single ges•
L ure, seemed to say to me, here I am.
For some time I contemplated with admiration
and awe this extraordinary type of man—a type
unknown to our numerous painters who have given
form and figure to all the gods and to all the heroes.
"Jesus," said I to him at last—and myjongue
faltered—“ Jesus of Nazareth, I haye granted yoil
for the last three years ample freedom of speech;
nor do I regret it. Your words are those of a sage.
I know not whether you have read Socrates and
Plato; hut this I know, that there is in your dis
courses a majestic simplicity that elevates you far'
above those great philosophers. The emperor is
informed of it, and I, his humble representative in
this couptry, am glad of having allowed you that
liberty of which you are so worthy. However, I
must'not conceal from you that your discourses have
raised up against you powerful and inveterate ene
mies. Neither is this surprising. Socrates had his
enemies, and he fell a victim to their hatred. Yaks
are doubly incensed against you on account of your
sayings; against me, on account of the liberty ex
tended towards you. They even accused the indi
rectly of being leagued with you for the purpose of
depriving the Hebrews of the little civil power
which Rome has left to them. My request—l do
do not say my order—is that you be more circum
spect for the future, and more tender in rousing the
pride of your enemies, lest they raise against you
the stupid populace, and compel me to employ the
instruments of justice.
The Nazarene calmly replied:
" Prince of the earth, your words proceed not
from true wisdom. Say to the torrent to stop in
the midst of the mountain because it will uproot
the trees of the valley; the torrent will answer you,
that it obeys the laws of the Creator. God alone
knows whither flows the waters of the torrent.—
Verily, I say unto you, before the rose of Sharon
blossoms, the blood of the just will be spilt."
•' You blood shall not be• spilt," replied I, with
emotion. " You are more precious in my estima
tion, on account of your wisdom, than all these tur
bulent and proud Pharasees who abuse the freedom
granted them by the Romans, conspire against
Caesar, and construe our bounty into tear. Insolent
wretches! They are not aware that the wolf of
the Tiber sometimes clothes himself with the skin
of the sheep. I will protect you against them.—
My pretorium is open to you as a place of refuge
—it is a sacred asylum."
Jesus carelessly shook his head, and said, with
a graceful and divine smile:
" When the day shall have come, t ere will be
no asylum for the Son of Man, neither oir arth nor
under the earth. Tne asylum of the Just s there,
(pointing to the heavens.) That which is written
in the books of the prophets must be accomplished."
Young, man," answered I mildly, "you oblige
me to convert my request into an order. The safety
of the province which has been confided to my
care requires it. You must observe more modera
tion in your discourses. Do not infringe my orders,
yogi know. May happiness attend you. Fare
well," •
"Prince of earth," replied Jesus, " r come not to
bring war into the world, but peace, love and char.
ity. I was born the same day on which Cwsar
Augustus gave peacoto the Roman world. Perse
cutiod proceeds not from me. I expect it from
others, and will meet it in obedience to the will of
my , Father, vvho has shown me the way. Restrain,

power to arrest the victim at the foot of the taber
nacle of expiation."
So saying, he disappeared like a bright shadow
behind the curtains of the basilic.
Herod the Tetrach who then reigned in Judea,
and who died devoured by vermin, was a weak and
wicked man, chosen by the chiefs of the law to be
the instrument of their hatred. To him the ene
mies of Jesus addressed themselves, to wreak their
vengeance on the Nazarene.
Had Herod consulted his own inclination he
would have ordered Jesus immediately to be put
to death; but though proud of his regal dignity, yet
he was afraid of commiting an act that might di
minish his influence with Cwsar.
Herod called on me one day at the Pretorium,
and on rising to take leave, after some insignificant
conversation, he asked me what was my opinion
concerning the Nazarene.
I replied, that Jesus appeared to me to be one of
those grave philosophers that great narions some
times produce; that- his doctrine was by no means
dangerous; and that the intention of Rome was to
leave htm that freedom of speech which was jus
tified by his actions. Herod smiled maliciously,
and saluting me with ironical respect, he departed.
The great least of the Jews was approaching;
and their intention was to avail themselves of the
popular exultation which always manifests itself
at the solemnities of a passrer. The city was
overflowing with a tumultuous populace, clamoring
for the death of the Nazarene. My emissaries in
formed me that the treasure of the' Temple had
been employed in bribing the people. The danger
was pressing. A Roman centurion had been in
sulted.
I wmte to the Prefect of Syria, requesting a hun
dred toot soldiers, and the same number of Cavalry.
He declined. I saw myself alone with a handful
of veterans in the midst of a rebellious city—too
weak to suppress disorder, and having no other
choice left than to tolerate it.
They had seized upon Jesus; and the seditious
rabble, although they knew they bad nothing to
fear from the Pretorium, believing, on the faith of
their leaders, that I winked at their sedition, con
tinued vociferating--Crucify him! crucify him!"
Three powerful parties at that time had combi
ned together against Jesus. First the Herodians
and Sadducees, whose seditious conduct seemed to
have proceeded from a double motive; they halted
the Nazarene, and were impatient of the Roman
yoke. They could never forgive me for having en
tered their holy city with banners that bore the
image of the Roman emperor; and although in
this instance, I had committed a fatal error, yet the
sacrilege did not appear less heinous in their eyes.
Another grievance also rankled in their bosoms.—
I had proposed to employ a part of the treasure of
the Temple in erecting' edifices of public utility.—
My proposal was scowled at. The Pharisees were
the avowed enemies of Jesus. They cared not for
the Government; but they bore with bitterness the
severe reprimands which the Nazarene had for
three years been continually throwing out against
them wherever he went. Too weak and pusilani
mous to act by themselves, they had eagerly em
braced the quarrel of the Herodians and Saducees.
Besides these three parties, I had to contend against
the reckless and profligate populace always ready
to join in a sedition, and to profit by the disorder
and confusion that result therefrom.
Jesus was dragged before the Council of the
Priests and condemned to death. It was then that
the High Priest, Caiaphas, performed a derisory
act of submission. He sent-his prisoner to me to
pronounce his condemnation and secure his execu
tion. I answered him that, as Jesus was a Gali•
lean, the affair came in Herod's jurisdiction, and
ordered Jesus to be sent thither. The wily Tet
rarch professed humility, and protesting his defer.
ence to the lieutenant of Cmsar, he committed the
fate of the man to my hands.
Soon my place assumed the aspect of a besieged
citadel ; every moment increased the number 01
the seditious. Jerusalem was inundated with
crowds from the mountains of Nazareth. All Ju
dea appeared to be pouring into the devoted city.
I had taken a wife, a girl from among the Gauls,
who pretended to see into futurity. Weeping, and
throwing herself at my feet, Beware,', said she to
me, beware and touch not that man, for he is holy.
Last night I saw him in a vision,—he was walking
on the water—he was flying on the wings of the
wind. He spoke to the tempests, to the palm trees,
to the fishes of the lake—all were obedient to him.
Behold ! the torrent of Mount Kedron flows with
blood—the statues of Cmsar are filled with the filth
of the gemoni—the columns of the Pretorium
have given way, and the sun is veiled in mourning
like a vestal in the tomb! 0, Pilate, evil awaits
the. II thou wilt not listen to the words of thy wife,
dread the curses of a Roman Senate—dread the
frowns of Ceasar!"
By this time the marble stairs groaned under the
weight of the multitude. The Nazarene was brought
back to me. I proceeded to the Hall of Justice,
followed by my guards, and asked the people in
a severe tone what they demanded? The death
of the Nazarene," was their reply. For what crime?"
He has blasphemed; he has prophesied the ruin
of the temple ; he calls himself the Son of God—
the Messiah—the King of the Jews." "Roman jus
tice,' said I, "punishes not such offence with death.'
"Crucify him, crucify him I" sticlitted forth the re-
lentless rabble.
The vociferations of the infur,iate multitude
shook the palace to its foundations. One man
alone appeared calm in the midst of the tumult.—
He was like unto the statues of Innocence placed
in the Temples of the Euminides. It was the Naz
arene .
After many fruitless attempts to protect him
feom the fury of his merciless prosecutors, I had
the baseness to adopt a measure, which, at that
moment, appeared to me to be the only one that
could save his life. I ordered him to be scourged;
then, calling for an ewer, I washed my hands in
the presence of the clamorous multitude, thereby
signifying them my disapprobation of the deed.
But in vain. It was his life that these wretches
thirsted after. Often, in our civil commotions,
have I witnessed the furious animosity of the mul
titude, but nothing could ever be compared to
what I beheld in the present instance. It might
have been truly said that, on this occasion, all the
phantoms of the infernal regions had assembled at
Jerusalem. The crowd appeared not to walk; they
were borne off and whirled as a vortex, rolling
along like living waves, from the portals of the Pre
torium even unto Mount Zion, with howling
screams, shrieks and vociferations, such as were
never beard in the seditions of gnome, or in the
tumults of the Forum.
By degrees the day darkened like a winter twi
light, such as had been seen at the death of the
great Julius Cresar. It was likewise towards the
Ides of March. I, the contemned governor of a
rebellious province, was leaning against a column
of my basilic contemplating athwart the dreary
gloom, this Theory of Tartarus dragging to execu
tion the innocent Nazarene. All around me was
desert; Jerusalem had vomited forth her indwel
lers through the funeral gate that leads to the Ge
monim. An air of desolation and sadness enveloped
me. My guards had joined the . cavalry, and the
Centurion, to display a shadow in power, was en
deavoring to maintain order. I was left alone, and
my breaking heirt admonished me, that what was
passing at that moment appertained rather to the
history of the gods than to that of man. Loud clam•
ors were heard proceeding from Golgotha, which,
borne on the winds, appeared to announce an agony
such as never had been heard by mortal ear. Dark
clouds lowered over the pinnacle of the Temple,
and large ruptures settled over the city and cover
ed as with a veil. So dreadful were the signs that
were manifested, both in the heavens and on the
earth, that Dionysius, the Aribpagite, is reported to
have exclaimed, "Either the Author of Nature is
suffering, or the Universe is falling apart.".
Towards the first hour of the nignt; I threw my
mantle around me, and went down into the city
towards the gates of Golgotha. The sacrifice was
consummated. The crowd "was returning home,
still agitated, it is true;but gloomy, taciturn, and
despqrate. What they had witnessed had struck
them with terror and remorse. I also saw my lit
tle Roman cohort pass by mournfully, the standard
bearer having veiled his eagle in token of grief, and
I overheard some of the soldiers murmuring strange
words which I did not comprehend.' Others were
recounting progidies almost similar to those which
had to often smote the Romans with dismay by the
will ltf the gods. Sometimes groups of men and
women would halt; then looking backwards tow
ards Mouht Calvary, would remain motionless, in
the expectation of witnessing some new prodigy.
I returned to the Pretorium, sad and pensive.—
On ascending the stairs, the steps of which were
still stained with the blood of the Nazarene, per
ceived an old man in a supplicant posture, and be
hind him several women in tears. He threw him
self at my feet and wept bitterly. It is painful to
see an old man weep. Father," said Ito him'
mildly," who are you and. what is your, reqeust
" I am Joseph of Arimathea," replied he, " and I
am come to beg of you upon my knees, the permis
sion to bury Jesus of Nazareth." "Your prayer is
granted," said Ito him, and, at the same time or
dered Manlius to take some soldiers with him to
superintend the interment, lest it might be profaned.
A few days afterwards the sepulchre was found
empty. The disciples of Jesus published all over
the country that Jesus had risen from the dead, as
he had foretold.
A last duty remained for me to perform. It was
to communicate to Cw.sar the details of this .deplo
rable event. I did it the same night that followed
the fatal catastrophe, and had just finished the com
munication when the day began to 'dawn.
At that moment the sound of clarions playing
the air ot Diana struck my ear. Casting my eyes
towards the Cesarean gate, I beheld a troop of sol:
diers, and heard at a distance other trumpets sound
ing Cwsar's March. It was the reinforcement that
had been promised me—two thousand chosen men
who, to hasten their arrival, had marched all night.
"It has then been decreed by the FateV cried
wringing my hands," that the great iniquity should
be accomplished—that, for the purpose of averting
the deeds ot yesterday, troops should arrive to-day!
Cruel destiny, how thee sportest with the affairs of

arene exclaimed when writhing on the cross : .dll

THY LADY'S MAN.- He is described as follows in
he New Orleans Delta:
His face is eternally wreathed with unmeaning
smiles, and when he addresses a lady, it is always
in such a strain of absurd nonsense that we have of
ten been surprised that a lady armed with a fan,
and so addressed, did not brain the animal on 'the
spot. If the lady's man does, by any possibility,
possess the least degree of common, sense, he takes
especial pains to conceal it, for somehow or other
he has taken it into his wise head that empty sen
timentality and absurd nothings are the only offer
itgs fit for the female mind. In order to be true to
what he conceives to be the entertainment and a
musement of the ladies, he turns traitor to man
hood, and so becomes epicene himself without a
just claim to be classed with the male or female
sex. His best qualities are those which he posses
es.in common with certain kinds of dogs to fetch
and carry. Ladies who laugh in their sleeves at
the fool, may not object to the attentions of the
servant, and so, out of mere commiseration allow
him to carry a fan, or escort them to the, opera,
when the MEN of their acquaintance are not acces
sible. The lady's man is sufficiently rewarded for
attending them through a whole evening's enter
tainment, if they will only drop u smile into the
poor fellow's hat at parting. With this substantial
blessing he is encouraged to future exertions in this
wide field of masculine ambition.
II a man's duty to a lady consisted in picking up
dropped pocket handkerchiefs and tans, or twirling
her round to the point of giddiness and exhaustion
in the waltz, we should, perhaps, envy the accom
plishments of the mere Idayls man.

Horrible Case of Suicide of a Citizen of
New York.
Immediately after the sounding of the
whistle of the 8 o'clock A. M. express train
from New York, at the New Rochelle depot, a
gentleman, very respectably attired, started
up the road with his hands folded and head
drooped, as if laboring under a depression of
spirits. After he had proceeded a short dis
tance he halted between the tracks of the rail
road, and stood as though he was waiting the
arrival of the train. The engineer and brake
man saw him, and presumed that he would keep
clear of the train, but on its approach he threw
himself right across the track in front of the
locomotive, the whole train passed over him,
literally smashing him to pieces. A gold watch
and chain, also smashed to atoms, were found
on his person. In his pocket a wallet con
taining a roll of bank notes and two business
bills made out to F. C. Gray.
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
We learn that the unfortunate mans name
was Franklin C. Gray, aged about forty-fire
years, a wealthy merchant of San Francisco,
California, where he was Alderman for two
years, and highly respected. He had an in
come of $36,000 a year, which he receives reg
ularly in monthly remittances of $3,000. He
brought letters of credit frOm Cook, Palmer S.
Co., of San Francisco, about fifteen s months
ago. Has since been residing, a portion of the
time, in Washington, where he m6rried a
young, beautiful, and accomplished lady. He
recently purchased a house in New York, in
the Fifth avenue, for their occupancy, which
he fitted up in most magnificent style. Last
week, while laboring under an aberration of
mind, he disposed of his house and furniture
at a sacrifice of $7,000 to $B,OOO. He adver
tised his furniture for sale, and, on persons
going there, they found that he had sent for a
a furniture broker and had it all taken away.
Recently he was introduced to Mr. Foreman,
of the Pavilion Hotel, at New Rochelle, at the
office of John Cook, No. 98 Broadway. New
York, and after some conversation with Mr. F.
talked of visiting the place ; yesterday he again
met Mr. Foreman, and at once decided to re
turnwith him ; he came for tne purpose of look
ing at the rooms, and promised to bring his
trunks up the following day ; he appeared to
enjoy himself very much during the evening,
and partook of a hearty supper; he said he
never enjoyed a meal better ; he was in excel
lent spirits ; M. Foreman, in accordance with
the wishes of Mr. Cook, did all in his power
to occupy his mind, as for some time past he
had been rather depressed; in the evening they
went to the Neptune House to have a gamely.

On returning from the Neptune House it was
agreed upon that they would go a fishingnext
morning, of which he said he was remarkably.
fond ; Mr Foreman invited a number of ladeis
to accompany them, with a view to edify him
as much as possible ; when everything was
ready, and he ascertained that ladies were go
ing, he said he did not feel well, and declined
to go ; a short time after this, he went out at
the western gate in the rear of the house, and
after going a short distance, turned round and
looked as though he suspected some one was
watching him ; not supposing for a moment
that he contemplated anything wrong, no one
followed or took father notice of him ; his wife
is expected from Washington this evening to
join him here ; he appeared to idolize his wife,
and only a few days ago he made out a will
leaving her all his property unconditionally.
APPEARANCE OF THE BODY
We have said that the body was " literally
smashed to pieces." If this statement be lit
erally understood it will convey some idea of
the appearance which the body presents. Nev
er has it been our lot to behold such a specta
cle. The head, neck, and shoulders, are com
pletely ground off.' Not a piece of the skull
can be found larger than a penny. Both arms,
and the right leg and foot have shared a simi
lar fate. The vertebrm is in several places
broken, and the left foot smashed to pieces.—
The brains and mangled flesh and intestines,
lay scattered in all directions. Here was a
broken leg, while there lay, a part of a hand,
or some other portion of the human frame, in
which lite and spirit beamed a minute ago.—
The hand that writes this description of a,
most horrible death gathered up the scattered
brains and mingled limbs, placed them on a
plauk, and assisted to carry them them to New
Rochelle depot. The sad accident or rather
hortible suicide, occurred about three hundred
-yards north-east of the depot.
QUEER PEOPLE AND SINGULAR CUBTOXE—Bay
ard Taylor. in one of his late letters from China, to
the New York 'Thbune, gives an account of a queer
race of people—queer on account of a couple of
their customs. He says:
Rev. Mr. D'Aguilar, whom I. saw at Roorkhee,
penetrated, last summer, to the glaciers of Jumnott
tree. He informed me that, in ascending the Him
alay, the productions become not only of the tem
perate zone, but English in their character ; the
flowers, fruits and shrubs being almost identical
with those of England. In the valleys, however,-is
found the deodar, or Himalayan cypress, which
grows to a height of more than two hundred feet.
There is a temple near the source of the Ganges,
but owing to the danger and difficulty of the jour
ney, comparatively few pilgrims reach it. The air
of the mountains is pure, fresh and invigorating,
and the paharrees are said to be both physically and
mentally superior to the inhabitants of the plains.
Mr. D'Aguilar considered them as a strikingly hon
est awl faithful race. Owing to the difficulty of
proeu I ing subsistence, and the necesasity of restrict
ing the increase of populatioin Polandry has exist
ed among them from time immemorial. The wo
man and her husbands live together harmoniously,
and the latter contribute each an equal share to the
support olthe children. Among thescpeople the say
ing will' particularly apply; "It's a Wise child that
knows its own father." Their ideas of s hospitality
compel them to share not only their food, but their
connubial right with the stranger, and no insult is
so great as a refusal to accept it. I saw several of
them to-day walking bare-legged through the now.
which trouble them as little as it would a horse.—
They were handsome, muscular fellows, with black
eyes, ivory teeth and a ruddy copper complexion.
Tua NEGRO Exonus.—ln consequence of the ri
gid enforcement of the 18th article of the new con
stitution of Indiana, the black population of that
State are leaving in hundreds for quarters recently
vacated in the Eastern States. The Cincinnati Com
mercial of the Bth ult., says :—We scarcely pass
along the landing in these long June days without
seeing one or more negro families with their house
hold .plunder, recently landed from some of the
lower river or Madison steamers. Becoming a lit
tle curious with regard to this new feature in Afri
can movements, we made inquiry, and found that
they were moving from Indiana in consequence of
the severe enactmenrs of the Legislature enforcing
the 18th article of the new constitution in that State.
All -persons, whose mothers are unable to prove the
possession of a greater proportion than one-six
teenth of European blood, and who came into Hoo
sierdom since November Ist, 1851, are forced to
take up their beds—if they have any—and walk.
All negroes, mulattoes, quadroons, octageroons,
odecaroons, &c., who can prove a residence in the
State prior to November 1, 1851, are allowed to re.
main under certain conditions, and by registering
their names with the County Clerk. Any person
who employs a negro who is in the State, contrary
to the new law, is liable to a fine of not less than
ten nor mole than five hundred dollars,
THE LARGEST TREE IN THE WORLD.—There is
a cedar tree growing in the mountains of Calave
ras county, California, which a correspondent of the
Sonora Herald, who frequently made an excursion
-to sfie if thus describes :
t the ground the circumference was 92 feet;
four feet above that it was 88; and 10 feet above
that it was Cfl feet in circumference; and after that
the tapering of the shaft was very gradual. Its
height, as measured by Captain H., is 300 feet, but
we made. it but 285. This tree is by no means a
deformity, as most trees with large trunks are. It
is throughout one of perfect symmetry, while its
enormous proportions impress the beholder with
emotions of its grandeur. •
"I have said that this is the largest tree yet dis
covered in the world. It is so. The celebrated tree
of Fremont wonld have to grow many centuries be
fore it could pretend to be called any thing bnt a
youngea brother. There is a tree in Mexico called
the Tagodium which is said to be 117 feet in cir
cumference, but some have said it is formed by the
abion of several trees.
"This. giant of the wood is to be flayed. The
process has already commenced. We understand
that the bark, which at the base is about fourteen
inches thick, is to be taken off in sections to the
height of twenty feet and sent to the World's Fair
in the city of New York."
AWFUL!—He sat before a low table, and his pale
fingers clutche with convulsive energy the handle of
a knife. His brows were knit, and his lips tightly
compressed, while the wild and unsettled express
ion of his eyes seemed to indicate the desperate pur
pose that was flashing through hls excited brain.—
Suddenly he held the glittering steel to the light,
he felt its keen edge and tapering point, then with
startling energy he raised the fatal knife on high,
and plunged it into the breast of a—roast goose.
The gravy ran out in torrents, And the hall-famish
ed young gentleman left behind him, as the only
monument of his prowess, a pyramid of dones.

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured

the healthful existence of man, and it is the young
who are the most apt to becomo its Victims from

tnemselves. Parents and Guardians are often mis•
led with respect to the cause or source of disease

ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame,

The True Digestive Enid or Gastric Juice
PREPARED from Rennet, or the fourth Stom
ach of the Ox, after directions of RATtom LIEBIG:
the great Physiological Chemist, by J. S. Hough:
ton, M. D., Philadelphia, Pa.
This is a truly wonderful remedy for Indigestion,
Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver Complaint, Constipa
tion, and Debility, curing after Nature's own
method, by Nature's own Agent, the Gastric Juice.
Hall a teaspoonful of Pepsin, infused in water,
will digest or dissolve, Five Pounds of Roast Bed
in about two hours, out of the stomach.
. • • .
PEPSIN is the chief element, or Great Digesting
Principle of the Gastric Juice—the solvent oft he
food, the purifying, 'preserving and stimulating
agent of the stomach and intestines. It is extracted
from the digestive stomach of the Ox, thus firm
ing an Artificial Digestive Fluid, precisely like the
natural Gastric Juice in its chemical powers,
and
furnishing complete and perfect substitute for it
By the aid of this preparation, the pains and evils
of Indigestion and Dyspepsia are removed, just as
they would be by a healthy stomach. It is doing
wonders for dyspeptics, curing cases of Debility,
Emaciation, Nervous Decline, and Dyspeptic Con
sumption, supposed to be on the verge of the grave
The scientific evidence upon which it is based, is
in the highest degree curious and remarkable.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
Baron Liebig in his celebrated work on Anima
Chemistry, says: "An artificial Digestive Fluid,
analogous to the Gastric Juice, may be readily
prepared from the mucous membrane of the stom
ach of the•calf, in which various articles of food
as meat and eggs, will be softened, changed, and
digested, just in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach."
Dr. Pereira, in hie famous treatise on " Food and
Diet," published by Fowler & Wolls,•New York,
page 35, states the same great fact, and describes
the method of preparation. There are few higher
authorities than Dr. Pereira.
Dr. Combo, in his valuable writings on the
" Physiology of Digestion," observes that "a dim
inution of the due quantity of the Gastric Juictein
a prominent and all prevailing cause of Dyspepsia,'
and he states that "a distinguished professor el
medicine in London, who was severely afflicted
with this complaint, finding everything else to fail,
had recourse to the Gastric Juice, obtained from
the stomach of living animals, which proved corn
pletely successfull.'
Dr. Graham, author of the famous works on
"Vegetable Diet," says : It is a remarkable fact
in pligsiolugy, that the stomachs of animals, mace
rated in water, impart to the fluid the property of
dis Solving so, tons articles of food, and of effecting
a kind of artificial digestion of them in timbre
diffrfeent mro the natural digestive process."
AS A DYSPEPSIA CURER,
Dr. HOUGHTON'S PEPSIN has produced the
most marvelloufieffects, in curing cases of Debility,
Emaciation, Nervons Decline, and Dyspeptic
Consumption. It is impossible to give the details
of cases in the limits of this advertisement ; but
authenticated certificates have been given of more
than Two Hundred Remarkable Cures, in Phila
delphia, New York and Boston alone. These
were nearly alldesperate cases, and the cures were
not only rapid and wonderful, but permanent.
It is a great Nervous Antidote, and particularly
useful for tendency to Billions disorder, Liver
Complaint, Fever or.. Ague, or badly treated Fever
anu Ague, and the evil effects of Quinine, Mer
cury and other drugs , upon the Digestive Orgcns,
after a lor.g sickness. Also, for excess in' eating,
and the too free use of ardent spirits. It almost
reconciles health with intemprance.
OLD STOMACH COMPLAINTS.
There is no form of Old Stomach Complaints
which it does not seem to reach and remove at
once. No matter how bad they may be, it, gives
instant relief ! A single dose removes all the un
pleasant symptoms; and it onlyneeds to be repeated
short for a time to make these good effects perma
