TItANsLATKD FIU'M THU GF.P.MAN' Tlio wealthy merchant, Van Beeren, of Amsterdam, went to his hunker's oue morning, l<> get 5u newly coined llorius. He had with him a magnificent Newfoundland dog, with curly hair, an expressive fact*, and beautiful true brown eyes. ' Oppas was the favorite (if the whole family und the steady companion of his master, whom he never left, except when he hud strict orders given him to watch the children or to keep guard oyer some article of value. Yau Beeren could safely put his gold-headed cane iu the middle of the street and say to Oppas, “ You stay here until I come hack ;" and there was no doubt of find ing cane and dog at the same spot, after hours hud gone by. I would not have advised anybody to touch him then. If his master wanted to go to tlie church or to the theatre, or in fact anywhere, where lie didn't want the Uog to accom pany him, all ho had to do was to look at him aud say: “Oppas, go home!" find Oppas turned round, although mor tified, aud went straight home, without lookiug to tJic right or left. Mynheer Van Beeren had taken his dog along to-day, as usual, and had rather a lengthy conversation with his friend the hanker, whom he also told for wlmt purpose lie wanted the new llorins. To-day was the silver wedding day of one of his old servants named Claus, who had been m the service of his father, and been true to them both for many years. As the man was not very well off, for lie had a great many chil dren to provide fur, he waute.l to give him a pieasauL surprise with these fifty florins. He received them lightly done up in a roll; but the silver was rather heavy, and Mynheer Van Beeren rather lazy, lie could not put it in his pocket; he did not like to curry it in his baud ; and, therefore, as soon as he had re gained the street, he gave it to his dog, who proudly put it in his mouth and nmrehed solemnly along with his mas ter until they reached the house of his formerservant. Mynheer Van Beeren did not even now take the money from the dog, hut wanted to have the fun of seeing the dog himself deliver it. He did this elegantly, for when his master sUid to him, “ Oppas, now give up your present,” and pointing to the surprised servant, he went'up to him, wagged his.taii, and allowed hiinquiet ly to take the money out of his mouth. The old servaut was greatly moved; lie thanked his master with tears in his eyes, at the same time caressing the dog, who seemed to be well pleased. More over, when Mynheer Vau Beeren left, Claus begged leave to retaiu the dog, around whom tiiechihireu hail gathered for awhile longer, that- he might reward him fur bringing so rich a present. The children joined in his entreaties until the merchant said pleasantly: “Well for my part, yon may have him for a guest, but dou’t overfeed him, and afterward, just open the door for him aud say : ” Nt.w g:> home, Oppas,’ then you need not bo'iier him auy. more; he knowsjiis w::y,” k “But will lie stay here, when you go Iff?” V Certainly; he does anything I tell hlr\-, () l'l i:i *. you slay here,” lie said to the iNewibuudland dog, who looked at him vivith his sagacious eyes,' and then eat quVetly down,.-as if to await what wouMAjhapjieu. When ,liis master went off itmibediaLely after he never stirred ; and uowt the ohildren began to coax and dress himJ while the good woman pre pared a'g^ (ul repast for bin*, which he enjoyed hfugely until the time came wh§n they* had to send him off ugain. When then opened the door for him and airfd, as he had been told: “Now go home!” he wagged his tail once mXn e, and returned straight home. ■ \ A few gone by and Myn-‘ heer Van Beerenlmd to jJobusinessagain one afternoon witri the same banker. The dog went alongYtfi usual, aud also lifted himself when he arrive! at the counting tableandoffered his paw to the cashier. He, however would not notice him to-day, and all seemed to be some what excited ; the cause of which was immediately explained by the banker himself, who just then came out of his private office. The thing was this: There had been committed a theft that morning with such agility and dexterity, that the matter was wholly inexplicable. One of the clerks had made rolls of floriDS and had placed ten of these, which were intended for the private expenses of the family, on his employer’s desk. The latter had counted them himself twice over, so that there could have been no mistake; and yet one of the rolls had disappeared in a moment, while be had been handing a few letters to be copied into the main office. A theft seemed hardly possible, unless it was executed .with great boldness, through the win dow, which happened to be open, in which case it must have been done in an incredible short space of time. How could a thief dare to climb into an open window in open daylight in a busy street; and if he did why had he taken only one roll, when there were ten of them lying right near. Mr. Van Groten, such was the bank er’s name, had in the meantime sent to the police to. make known the facts, and one of this force had come up to take a look at the place. He shook his head when they showed him the win dow and the desk. The latter stood at least six feet from the window, so that a person who might have jumped up to the window board, could not from there have got at the money, but was obliged to enter the office, while Mynheer Van Groten asserted that he had not left it for half a minute. Besides the little A. IS cKI ‘ii AH VOLUME 70 .oom had no separate entrance or exit, 1 utonly through the main entrance Could a person get into it, The aflair remained shrouded in darkDess and the roll of 50 florinß, of course, gone. Myn heer Van Groten had become so afraid, that he shut the window every time he left his room, and as no further theft was committed, the loss was at last for gotten ; at least .nothing more was said about it. Two or three weeks might have goneby, and Mynheer Van Beeren was just sipping his afternoon coffee in his “study," when old Claus sent his name in, wishing to thank his old em ployers. “Thank me!" said Mynherr Van Beeren; “for what? for my last pres ent? He has thanked me for that long ago, and since then X have not seen him ; but let the old man come in." The door opened immediately after, and Claus, hat in hand, appeared upon the threshold, but looked very misera ble. “Hallo! Claus, what is the matter with you man? You have grown so pale and so lean, that I should hardly have known you. Have you been sick ? I never heard a word about it! " “ O, my savior,” the poor man sighed; “ I have been very sick ; so sick that I did not think I should get up again ; I dare not do anything yet; the doctor has given me strict orders not to work ; he only allows me to walk out in the air to regain some strength." “BoorChius," Van Beeren said com pasionately, “and why didn't you let me know of it ? " “0, my dear sir," the old man said, fervently, “you knew it anyhow, for you came to my rescue in my need in such a magnanimous and delicate way. I do not know how to thank you." “My dear Claus,” said Van Beeren, “I certainly would have been most happy to have assisted you, if i had heard a word of it, and perhaps it is not too late now ; but I assure you, I knew nothing of it, and do not understand what you mean by saying I helped you in a maguanimousauudelicate manner. “O, iny dear sir,” said tile old man, “why not allow me to thank you, for you can’t deny it Your own good dog brought me the money, you know." “Oh, is that what you mean," Myn heer smiled, “but my dear friend, that was on your silver wedding, and no body then thought you werg going to be ill.” ‘ Ah, ho; I don't mean that," theold man said, shaking his head ; “ the sec ond time, about three weeks ago, when the dog came to me by himself and brought me another such roll. He had been scratching at the door for some time before we heard him and could ad mit him.” “My dog?" the merchant asked in amazement; “my Oppas?" “Why, certainlyi he delivered the money at my bedside, and walked oil wagging his tail." “And how much did the roll con tain ?" “Just as much as the first— was the answer. “That is strange," said Mynheer, amazed, slapping his knee with his hand ; but Oppas shall come in." “ And you really know nothing of it?" “ Not a syllable.” “ But where can the dog have got the money ?” “ He stole it!" the merchant roared out; “ stole it in opposition to all laws; no! I neversaw-tiielike * Send up the dog, Claus ; he will probably be down stairs in the yard ; we will give him an examination. Stay; did you feed him again that time?" “ Well, you may well imagine, that, Mynheer, the children didn’t hardly know what to do for him, and he stayed with us about uu hour unill I sent him home again, because I feared you might want liiin.^ “ But 1 can’t comprehend yet—" “ Well, never mind Claus, I’ll tell you that after awhile just send up the d°g.” “Oppas came, exhibiting great joy ; for he jumped up at Chius continually, aud wagged his tail, as is to show his joy at tile old mail’s recovery. “ 1 say, Oppas," his master said, “ what bavoyou been about, eh ? What do I hear of you?" The great New foundland clog probably did not under stand what his master said, but lie did not like htetone nor his look; he had become sh'y ; but wagged his tail in a moree*lively manner, seeming only a little oppressed. “ Well,” said his master, “ how is it? Where did you get the mouey that you brought old Claus ; to get another extra dinner, eh?” The dog grew more and more shy, and now lay down on his belly and crawled up to his master, who said laughing : “Ah do you acknowl edge your guilt at last ? Oh, you good for-nothing beast ? As soon as the dog saw his cheerful face, his fear was gone at -once. Before Mynheer could have thought of it, he jumped up to him and licked his whole face* in such a manner that he could hardly keep him off. When he had quieted him a little, lie told Claus the whole story of the theft at Vau Groten’s which none hut the dog could have accomplished and also quieten the old man about the theft. He said the dog had only done what he would have done himself, if he had known of the sickness of his old faithful servant. | He should not trouble himself about the money, for he had a perfect right to keep it. Then, as soon as Claus was gone, he took the roll of fifty florins, put on liis hat, and gave them to the dog to bring back the stolen mouey to his friend Van Groten. “Now,” thought Van Beereu, when upon reaching the house he found the window open, on account of the warm weather, "ifl send Oppas in by the same way he got money, he will know right offif he can jump that high.’' Upon reaching the window-sill lie therefore said : “Oppas, hop, jump up, quick !” With one jump lie was there, and waited for orders wagging his tail. Mynheer Van Beeren heard a loud cry of astonishment, but when the dog turned to him he beckoned to him to jump into the office, which he did, upon which he himself went iuto the office. was not a little astonished he saw his friend's dog with a rolfcpf money in his mouth. Vau Beeren soon solved the mystery to him. They laughed'a great deal about the affair, but Mynheer never left the wiu dow open after that when he left the office, until he had a little lattice affixed to it. He did not trust Oppas, for he thought he might again get huugry for an extra meal, and try to place himself in possession of it by similar means. Scicntlflc;and Mechanical What to Wear on the Feet.— One of the well-established facts of physiology is that anything worn upon the feet which, like rubber or patent leather, prevents the p&ssing off of the insensi ble perspiration, is detrimental to the health. Those who regard the organic laws as having any sacrqdness, will not use patent leather boots, covering the whole foot, for constant wear, but limit them to particular occasions. Rubber ought to be removed, and something else substituted in their place, as soon as the feet come out of the wet which occasions their being put on. The same is true of all boots that arc water proof. They should be worn only when times of exposure make them necessary. This is sufficiently well known with regard to rubbers ; but few think that leather boots are objectiona ble, for tue same reason, iu proportion v as they are water-tight. There are comparatively few of them which are perfectly so; yet there are many, which, worn as they are, day after day, in dry weather as well as wet, must, by retain ing a large part of the foot’s perspiration, have ah unhealthful effect. It is a good practice to bathe the feet after removing A pair of water proof boots which have been worn during the day. With maDy n?en this is a necessity, and it would be such, with many more if they knew all the requirements of the laws of hygiene, to say nothing of any other reason. To give the boots them selves a washing out occasionally would be advantageous, as tue feet must be al lowed to perspire naturally or the akin in sfthie other part is liable to be over taskejp, and it is stated by medical au thority that many skin diseases hare been produced by neglect of the feet in this particular.

Inside (be Ludlow Street Jail. Sr. CotrlcK' Own Story of lUs Prison [From the Bprlnglle’'! Republican. 1 If I owned a patent medicine, or was a candidate for office, or even was an itinerant peddler of slazy silks and scented soaps, money could not buy of me the experience in Ludlow street jail, which those representatives of business and political sensations and swindlings, Fisk and Butler, and their allied repre sentatives of what they call law and justice in New Y'ork—Judge McCunn, Counseller Vauderpoel, and Sheriff Jimmy O’Brien —persuaded me into last week. Being a simple country -printer and editor, and the accidental author of oue book, the pecuniary profit of the transaction is not so clear; though it be a fact that a shrewd Yankee publisher the next day offered “ to go a thousand better" fora new book —which suggest ed—sl,ooo—slo.so for lodging and break fast— SUBU.SO possible net gain. But not forseeing then how famous my euemies were making me, how infamous them selves, by this little bon-bon joke for their evening’s entertainment at Mr. Augustus L. Brown’s, Fifth avenue, I thought first and chiefly of the fine philosophy of the Frenchman, that ex perience was all that life could give us, aud that whosoever offered a fresh bit of that was a real if unconscious phil anthropist. Here truly was something rare aud original in that line, RDd after the first surprise was over, I looked about to make the most of it. All the outward e-vents of the taking off, the revelings of the “ ring " at Mr. Brown’s, the scenes around the jail, 'night and morning, have been suffi ciently described. The officials exhib ited only just as much severity as was necessary to represent the meanness and brutality which they were charged to execute. The purpose was to give me all the letter and none of the liberty of the law,‘all its cruelty, none of its courtesy ; to prevent my friends know ing for what i was arrested, or where I had been taken; to insure beyond per advenlure my confinement for the night; and ail the persons engaged in the transaction, from lawyers aud judges down to the jail scullions, certainly earned extra pay for the fidelity with which they stuck to this purpose of their employers. Whatever of failure they met with was none of their fault. That which other prisoners had through the evening was strictly denied, or cun niugly prevented me; and soon discov ering this, 1 philosophically accepted the goods the gods had provided. One of these was the finaliest edition of the Evening Express, aud for the first time .in my life 1 mastered the mysteries of its “makeup." I claim almost the. right of original discovery, and hence forth can begin at the beginning and go through its dancing aud discordant columns ■without missing an item of news. After the 10 o’clock bombardment by my friends, the jailer, who really is a good natured little Irishman, began to smile through the deep small-pox pockets of his face; Mr. Blunt’s denun ciation of him as “a vagabond,” and Mr. Halsted’s query as to what his old office might be worth in greenbacks, both seemed to tickle his vanity, aud remarking that I appeared to have some pretty earnest and influential friends, he proceeded to make me as comfortable as the prison-house would permit, with a strict eye, however, to both the law aud the profits. I could have a bed in the room,halfroom halfceliof another gentleman,Mr. John Livingston, an old New 'York lawyer,' aud editor of the Law■ Magazine, who had been clapped in only au hour or two before 1 was, and on a similar pro cess to mine—his offence being the writing of a letter about a person whom he thought aud said was a rascal—for which the price with board was $l5 a week, half a week to be paid any way. But saying I would like the best hehad under the rules of the prison, he showed me a room on the ground floor, leading out of the general dining room, now piled up with furniture, but which be partially cleared away, and pfaced it at my disposal at the rate of $35 a week, “half down." There wasageneralshab biness or rather untidiness about the whole premises, aud no bedroom furni ture in the room but two small hard beds, a carpet aud chairs in abundance; but my door was not locked, and I had the run in fact of the whole floor, of which, indeed, 1 appeared to be thesole occupant, Office, dining room, kitchen, and closets, which were kept brilliantly lighted for the whole night. But I had not yet mastered the fas cinating problem of the five edition Express. And from the moment of entrance I had seen that here was what I had not supposed existed in America, a miniature Marshalssa, and Dicken’s charmiug story of “ Little Dorrit" came up before me in all its details. What wouldn't I have given for Mr. Hough ton’s large print household edition of it for the night’s reading aud comparison. So I went back to the office, where more or Jess of my feilow-prisoners were play iug cards, reading, and talking, while in the hall above others were enjoying a game at billiards. Ludlow street jail is devoted to pri soners under civil suits—for libels, lor slanders, for that class of debts not yet expunged from jail offences,for breeches of trust, that description of con structive offences or suspicion that, under the old common law, border on crime yet do not touch it; also, for criminals under Federal laws, counter feiters, smugglers, post office robbers, murderers on the high seas, &c. These latter are confined iu cells iu the upper part of the building, and have no con sort with the former, who have the privilege (?) of paying for their board and lodging, a wide range of liberties together within the house. But Dickens describes it better: “ Itself a close and coufiued prisou of debtors, it combined within itself a much closer and more confined jail lor smugglers. Offenders against the revenue laws, and defaulters against the excise or customs, who had incurred fines they were unable to pay, were supposed to be incarcerated behind an iron plated door, closing up asecond prison, cousistingof a strong cell or two, and a blind alley some yard and a half wide, which formed the mysterious ter mination of the very limited skittle ground in which the Marshaiseadebtors bowled down their troubles.” The old residents—prisoners for days, weeks, and months, as most of them were; reconciled, contented, jolly — treated me with a tender inattention which wasmoatexquisite. They neither stared at nor asked questionsof me, but kept on with their play, talk, or read ing. Only the newest comer explained disease, and asked mine. The others soon seemed to know all about my affairs; how, I can hardly tell; butcer tainly I never met more delicate polite ness than the iudirect and secret man ner in which they satisfied their curiosi ty. I thought with a shudder how different it would have been if this Marshaloea recognized the rights of wotkim_Jo imprisonment. Late as it was, few seemed to have gone to bed, and callers were still ad mitted—except to me. Our “ Father of the Marshalsea ” soon came down stairs —a tall, straight, gentlemanly old man, dressed in black, with rich white hair aud beard, and a benevolent, yet wise face; his would have been a marked appearance and manner in the United States Senate or in the Supremo Court. All paid tribute to him as he moved about. Most of the others were younger men, and exhibited no sense of their condition, except in a certain manner of unrest, which led them from billiards to cards, from these to papers, and again back, with unnatural frequency. There was suggestion of a game tosee who should pay for the oysters or a bot tle of ale or cider; thejailer’s assistants, two or three awkward, over-grown, green boys, were asked to go out for this or that luxury; there was a good deal of chaffing abouti one'another’simpecuni osity; and sly but successful appeals, at the last, for a “night-cap” out of the private stores of the jailer. Not until midnight was there any suggestion of then there was a rap and a call of bedtime from the second story ; and I was soon left alone in the office. Wandering about the floor I found a generous bathing-room, a large and well-appointed kitchen a long and plainly furnished diningroom, apparently always ready for a meal, and open alike to the officers and the civil prisoners; the building was over heated with steam, and I was moved to beg, with success, for the window in my room to be opened for fresh air; apd affairs were apparently more disorderly and untidy than usual, because the LANCASTER PA. WEDNESDAY MORNING JANUARY 6 1869 principal public room, a sort of sitting room and library and reception-room for the civil suit Inmates, was in process of repainting and frescoing, and could not be used. The bed diJ not invite sleep; I could not keep do n the sense of the humor ousness of .he situation; it disputed place Anxiety for my invalid wife, for whose care I had exposed myself to this petty persecution of my enemies, and with sympathy for the children to whom the jolly side of the experience would not suggest itself; and along with these, mixing with half-sleep, came those nervous speculations that Dickens describes as possessing Arthur ClenDam when he slept in the Marshal sea. The steam pipes fizzed and fumed suppose they should burst. Would it be easy to escape if one wanted to—would this genteel scroll of iron work that guarded. the lower windows in re spect to the supposed superior social beings to whom the rooms were devoted, give way. more easily than the plain cross bars above? I could hear a stream of water coursiDg .under the walls— suppose it should get dammed up, and the building be flooded from the bottom —I would be the first victim. How about fire, which these floods of gas sug gested—where was a man who bad the keys, and would he rather let us burn up> than have us go free? I got up once, as I used to when in camp among the mountains, aud strolled about to accus tom myself to the novelty of the place. The night watchman was eating a hearty lunch in the dining room; all else was silence and dead within the house; aud without the city was at its quietest. ’At long intervals, the horse car weut rattling by. Then I went back and slept, and dreamed of Fisk’s young and romantic days, when I used to meet him among the Green Mouutain towns, with his gay horses and his richly painted waaou, with his pretty face in vivid colors on its side, and herprettier person by his side under a huge caleche on top of thp wagon. That was before Boston had invited, and New York had tempt ed ; before lie became the prince of Hartford and Erie'and the kingof Erie; before other seductions than those of power and wealth had entered in and possessed him. It was but a limited toilet that I could rnakein the morning. There was plenty of fresh water and clean towels, aud an older inmate who came down in velvet and beaded slippers, and jenteel morn ingjacket, aud well furnished dressing case, offered me his more cleanly soap than that provided by the city and county of New Y'ork ; but with a deli cacy of self respect, as well as of respect for me, which I am sure Fisk could never appreciate, he forbore to tender me any other of the contents of his toilet box. To your true resident of Marshal sea there are limits to generosity and to the use of things in common. He ob serves the usages of the best society, that expects every gentleman to have a hair brush and tooth brush of his own. Then we gathered in the office and sent out for a newsboy, who came again and again to supply the extra demand. We were curious to see how the busy outside world looks in at the quiet, self-com posed, self contained life of the prison house. And even I copld not fail to catch at once the feeling of contempt with which these inside eyes, of bodies confined but spirits free, looked out upon the hot unrest and wrangling life of free materialities-but enslaved souls. boon the morning calls began, and the door-bell was continually ringing. A daughter to see a father, a wife to see a husband, a lawyer to find his client, a brother to help a brother; some for “our set," more for the less cheerful prisoners above. We could seethe pro cession file in from the office; a poor woman iu rags, with a baby folded in among them, hurrying up stairs to find the.,criminal husband aud father, and cheer I)is despairing heart, and report the state of the children without; here, too, in contrast, an unmistakable Fanny Dorrit dropped in to a morning call upon her Sparkler—no tears, no tender ness, “ no bigod nonsense," as DickeDS has it, trigly aud daintily dressed, chaf fing gaily with her husband and his companions, her hard bright eyes flash ing. It was sad indeed to witness the degree of their induration to the expe rience; but again, a sweet-faced and sad-voiced daughter appeared, and held close counsel with her futher in the corner, restoring one’s faith in the best and truest side of human nature. But my friends began to pour in so fast now that I had no time to watch those of the others. From now till the hour of release their carriages rolled up every few minutes. Dr. Holland writes that if one wants to get acquainted with Americans, the simplest way is to go to Europe. Isay, if you would know your friends, get imprisoned in a New York jail. The humor of the thing was gone now—the pathos had begun; what Fisk’s night had utterly failed to ac complish, this morn iug’s foray of friends most easily and sweetly did. Tnere was a race of bail bonds; Mr. Seward, taking the real estate along iu his carriage, came in ahead of Col. Bliss, who had to go after his; and after pay ing the jailer $17.50 for my room and breakfast—most excellent tea and toast, I am bound to say —and $£ for jail fees, my prisou doors swung ojien, and my night in jail was ended. There are a good many hotels in New York at which one can pay a great deal of money for very small accommoda tions ; but the Ludlow Street Jail seems to me to surpass them all in thatreeard. With such elements of generous in come, it can hardly be excusable for the Republican Legislature at Albany this winter to swell Sheriff O’Brien’s fees, and carry his income up from its present $120,000 to its desired $150,000. What cost me $19.50 has probably cost him $25,000; and judging from the tenden cies ofpublic opinion, others of the cir cle of Nionspirators against a country editor’s liberty will pay dearly for this little whistle. Their fun culminated at Mr. Augustus L. Brown’s party the night before—mine is apparently not likely ever to cease. Fpr such experi ence as this, with ito-mumor and its Dathos, its study of a rare phase of aumau life, its wealth of friendly feal ing, will be an unending source of pleas ure and of profit. There are serious questions started by this experience, involving the adminis tration of the law in New York, the power aud responsibilities of the press, and their connection with the corrup tions that infest our politics and our business.

Quinine is produced from a forest tree in South America, kn uwn as the chin chona.of which there are many varieties, but the chichona cansaycC, and chin chona rubra , yield the medicine in greatest abundance. So great has been tbe demand that, in mostof the districts whence it ha 9 been obtained, the sup plies are gradually diminishing; and, as no substitute oi equal value is likely to be found, it is of the utmost importance that new sources shall be discover ed. In Jamaica, the chichona rubra has been cultivated sufficiently to show that it will grow well on that Island, and the Government is urged to encourage and assist in its cultivation on an extended scale. It seems how ever, that only, upon mountains from 1,500 to 2,000 feet high, where the for ests are often bedewed with mist, does this tree arrive to a perfection that will make its cultivation profitable; but there are several sections on the Island which will answer the requirements. Besides, there are other Islands in this quarter of the world where similar con ditions prevail, and if doe efforts are made, tne world’s supply of quinine may continne unexhausted.

Cariosities of Speculation. i People who hear, nowadays, of the 'speculative and ruinous “corners" of i the Chicago grain mark at, or the end ; less fever of the fortune-hunting that ; consumes the bulls and bears of Wall : street, seldom think of the fact that the i same things were done, with the telf ! same results, centuries ago. In the j palmy daysoftheSonth Sea Company’s ! ! great success in England, fortunes were j made and lost with u rapidity unsur-. passed by any modern speculations on I record. The stock of that famous com- J pany sold, at one time, at nine hundred j per cent., or about six hundred per cent. \ higher than was reached by the most I successful stock known to Wall street! during the war —the Pacific Mail Steam-1 ship Company —which was quoted at j 3:21} in 1865. The latter stock has since ' sold as low as S 5, but the decline iu the ! cfouth Sea Company's shares was so far J greater that, upon the final compound ing of its affairs in 1720, the proprietors and subscribers generally received a di vidend of only 33 per cent. The orij|yi of the South Sea Compa ny and its name, curiously enough, rested upon a scheme of trade with the western coasts of South America. The early Spanish conquests in Peru and Mexico, with their golden dreams of in exhaustible mining wealth, were be ginning to be abaadoned. In place of the Spanish indolence*aud incapacity, British pluck and enterprise and thrift began to turn towards the undeveloped riches of South America. The manu facturers of England were to be sent to the coasts and exchanged for the gold and silver ingots of the natives. It was reported that Spaiu was about to open four ports on the coasts of Chile and Peru to the trade of the world,, which meant, at that time, to English commerce. In 1711 the company was formed, under the direct auspices of the celebrated Harley, Earl of Oxford, in corporated by act of Parliament, and granted a monopoly of trade to the South Seas. At once, the most visionary ideas of the future wealth and power of this new company took possession of men’s minds. It was to revolutionize the commerce of the globe, and to wrest, ultimately, the dominion of the South American continent from bpain. It mattered not that bpain had been, hitherto, found obdurate to all over tures lor sharing her highly profitable trade with other nations. It mattered Dot that the only fruit of the so much vaunted liberality which had now taken possession of her was the celebrated As siento contract, of the privilege of sup plying the colonies with African slaves for thirty years. It mattered not that she had reluctantly granted permission for only one trading vessel, per annum, to enter her ports in Peru and Chile, aud whose ventures, moreover, it was stipulated that theKingof Spain should share one-fourth of the'profits. The present discouragements, were all swal lowed up iu the great expectations of the future. The remote and unknown character of the enterprise lent enchant ment to the golden visions of its par ticipants. The old proverb “omne ig notum pro magnifico n was realized in the splendid schemes of the promoters af the South SeACompauy, who already saw themselves, in imagination, rolling , in bounnless wealth. j In 1717, it was found that the trade ' with tiie bouth American Statesw&l j producing little or no revenue tne from outside the confectiouery.under the Odd Fellows’ Hall, immediately opposite. The missile, instead of shooting upwards, as intended, whizzed across the street, strik ing young Pattison fall upon the side of the cnlf of the left leg. It passed through, ex ploding after striking, tore away the flesh, and ligaments in great masses, and severed the main artery. An incision was thus made nearly two inches in depth, and extending for severariucbea either way, revealing a most frightful gash. Mr. Pattison fell on the pavement ustbough pierced by a bullet. His companion—himself grazed on the knee by the terrible missile after it passed through the other’s leg—sprang to his as sistance, and was shocked to discover that Mr. P. was bleeding profusely. The wound ed young man was carried into the clothing store, where a tourniquet was hastily im provised and applied to the leg in the hope of staunching the blood until medical as sistance could be procured. Dra. K. W. Mitchell and J. W. Erskine soon arrived. They were joined by others, and during Ihe entire night the c.ise was receiving tbeir attention. Mr. Pattison lay motionless and pallid on the bare floor. *lt wasa long time before the flow of blood could bestop ed. and its loss rendered him very weak. The striking and explosion of the rocket had shocked hi& nervous system, and caus* ed him to sink alarmingly. Early in the evening the surgeons had partly decided that an immediate amputation was neces sury to save the sufferer’s life, and in re sponse to a question from him one of them bade him prepare for such a contingency, a feeble groan was the only response. Mr. Pattison rested better, having been placed under the influence of opiates necessary to lessen the pain. The great loss of blood and naturally delicate physique of the sul ferer rendered it evident that without a reaction it were impossible to attempt an amputation without seriously endangering his life. Nothing of that kind had been done up to 1 o’clock lhts morning. At that time it was feared that dissolution was ap proaching, and we should not be surprised to learn this morning that his agonies had been relieved by death. Reuben Pattison has barely attained his majority. Though fragile, he possesses, to a more than ordin ary extent, the buoyancy of spirit inciden tal to youth and an ardent temperament. Only yesterday be spoke to the writer of “Christmas,” of the joys and pleasures in store for him this day, to whose advent he looked forward with almost the exuberant glee of u child. In a moment joyful antic ipations were changed to agony ; and in stead of the glad welcomes of friends, have come the sighs and tears of those near and dear to him. It were scarcely possible to conceive of a dispension more sad —one which could occasion greater genuine sor row’ thau will this tragic occurrence.— Memphis Avalanche. The Case of Geo. W. Alexander. Id the U. S. District Court, yesterday, the case of G. W. Alexander came ud for final disposition. The defendant, while Assessor of the Eighth (Berks County) Collection District, was alleged to have connived at the removal of whisky in fraud of the reve nue, and the jury found him guilty of that offence, with a recommendation to mercy. Reasons were filled for a new trial, and argued fully before Judge Cudwaider by Messrs. Bull and Hughes. Mr. Hoffman, one of the counsel for the defence, wrote his argumentin support of the mot'on.and sub mitted it to the Court. Yesterday.atter Judge Cadwalador had gone over the written argu ment, he said that there was but one point in the caseabnut which he had any doubt, und that was in respect to the bill of indictment. The only authority cited was against the mo tion, and that, bethought, must govern him in deciding the question. That the convic tion was a proper one upon the merits of the case be had no doubt whatever. The returns, offered in evidence, the letters of the defend ant, and the testimony of Mr. Jacobs, satis • fied him, beyond all doubt, of Col. Alex ander's guilt. The sentence which he had announced previously must stand, there fore—a fine of one thousand dollars and an imprisonment of one year. Mr. Bull called attention to the act of Cougress, under which the indictment was drawn, as fixingthe maximum punishment at one year’s imprisonment, or one thousand dollars fine. The Judge then directed the clerk to record the sentence to be imprison ment of one year. A Texas Tragedy. Here is the latest story of Texan life: Miss Guest and a young lady friend Miss Seals, having paid a visit on horseback to the familyofMr. Lenore, in Brazos County, that gentleman, on their return, escorted them home. Miss Guest was in the habit of wearing a small Derringer pistol, having had to travel alone to Eastern Texas not long after the war closed. She bad it on her person at the time in question. As they were ridiDg alone this pistol, from some cause, exploded, and so wounded one of Miss Guest’s fingers that it had to be re moved by amputation. During her con finement from, this hurt, she was visited by Mrs. Lenore, and urged to visit her again when she recovered. When she had recovered-, she and Miss Seals again visited the house of Mr. Lenore. While there a game at cards waß proposed. While Mr. Lenore wd£ assorting the cards from the drawer of a table, Miss Seals was stand ing by his side, and Miss Guest rather be hind him, he espied his pistol in th£ drawer, and handing it over his shoulder to .Mies Guest, remarked, “bow does this''pistol compare with yours?” She took it, aci while examining it the pistol went off, k it ing Mr. Lenore instantly. Although there is nothing in all this to give any plausibility even to an accnsation of wrong intent, yet some of the friends of the unfortunate de ceased prosecuted Miss Guest for murder. But the prosecution came to nothing. The District Attorney entered a nolle prosequi, although the defense demanded a trial. Miss Guest is reported to be a young lady of high standing and good culture. Erie talks of petitioning the Legislature to stop the running of oars on Sunday. THU LOSS Of TH£ UIBLUSIA. Additional Particulars—Bar vello as Is. rape of One of the Boats—Terrible Suf ferings—lnsanity and Death—A Thrill- ing Jfarrailve. The steamship Weser, from Bremen Dec, 12, and Southampton 15th, with merchan dise and 222 passengers, arrived at Phila delphia Inst week. Our files by this arrival come down to the 15th. The Glasgow Her ald publishes the narrative of Mr.-Davies, the second officer of the Hibernia, who had such a murvellous escape in one of the ship’s boats. He says: “When we left the Hibernia we had in our boat two barrels of biscuit, three casks of water, and several ling of preserved meat Two hours after leaving the ship we found the boat was so full that we deemed it ne cessary to throw onooftbe barrels of biscuit overboard to make room for ihe passengers. The boat was a lifeboat, twenty-two feet long, with six or seven feet beam. One woman bad two children, of three and five years old respectively, and another an in fant of six months old. Our boat was leak ing badly when we started, and it required two men constantly -bailing to keep her afloat. Soon after leaving ibe Hibernia, we fell astern of tbo other boats, being only able to pull two oars, owing to mir crowded condition. When the first mate’s boat was capsized, we attempted to get round to.nssist them, but, being nearly swamped in doing so, wo were obliged to attend to our own safety. Dur ing that day we pulled before the wind, but at nigbt we lay to by means of a float ing anchor, and endeavored to make the boat as trim as possible. We tried to make the women as comfortable as we could by spreading tarpaulins over the forward part of the bout. Nobody asked to get anything to eat the first day, all being too anxious to think of eating. On the following (Thurs day) morning we got a lugsail set on the boat, ami made tho best of our wuy for the Irish coast, before a southwesterly breeze. Nnthiug of note occurred that day, but the following night (Friday) an old man, who had shown symptoms of derangement, jumped overboard, snyine ho was going to bed. On the third day the breeze fell very light, and we bad to take tu the oara. Next morning, one ot the passengers, supposed to be Francis Rodgers, suddenly threw himself overboard. A woman, supposed to be his sister, pleaded bard that someof us should throw her into tho sea afterhim ; but we endeavored to soothe her and succeeded in some degree. Rodgers was evidently out of his senses. He had quarrelled with us because we nailed the compass to the thwarts. Ho wanted the knees of his trou sers darned, as “ he could not,” ho suid, “go home with holes in them.” Up to this time provisions had been given in moderate quantities, and euch person had a daily al - lowance of a pint of water. Wo had now to shorten Ibe allowance. Wo had to keep pulling both on the fourth and fifth days, aud did not make make much progress. Sunday was calirt all day. The children hitherto had been tolerably lively. The in fant was led on mashed biscuit, its mother haviug no milk, and ttie others got bUcuit and preserved meat, with a small quantity of preserved fruit. The want of sufficient water now began to be felt; and owing to the close packing of all in the boat and the frequent wettings, cramps were very gen eral. We were forced to keep everything in one position as much as possible to avoid capsizing. Up to the Monday no one had seriously complained of the discomforts, and ail were iu tolerable spirits. The seamen did all in their power to inspire hope , and the quartermaster, Blair, spun yarns to keep their spirits up. On the Wednesday, the second engineer sang the 100th Psalm, and many joined with him. That day the wind blew bard from the south west, and we had to bring the boat to by using the sail, and two of our oars as a floating anchor, and in doing so lost both sail and oars. It was useless to seek for them, it being now dark, so we bad to make a sail out of a piece of tar paiilin, and be content with one oar and a half that we had with us in the boat. The wind blowing fiercely, the tarpaulin was torn into rags, and we substituted for it bed covers. These latter were also soon de stroyed. Samuel Brewster, an old man, died on Wednesday, after going raving mad. Many of our number now showed signs ot madness, probably from despair" and ex posure to extreme cold.' Some became violeut and threatening in their conduct, and we had to use force with.certain of them, and gradually we got them calmed down. Early on Thursday morning, a child, five years of age, died ; and shortly afterwards its mother expired. Another child took lockjaw, and died also. The bodies were thrown overboard. Tho effect on the sur vivors was very visible. All this time we were making slow progress toward the Irish coast. The lorn larpauiin mended iu the best fashion we could, and served iu a kind of way for a lugsail. Pro visions and water wyre now given in small quantity. One of the barrels of biscuits was found to bo much soaked with sea water, and one of the tresh water caskshad leaked half of iu contents. We had to disregard the appeals lor drink, and tbo consequence was that several seamen among the rest took to quenching their thirst with salt water, in spite of our romous&ancoa. This was continued until a numfiergot perfectly mad. Walter McFarlane; fireman, wtrir oue of those who persisted in taking salt water, and bis conduct became so danger ously outrageous t at be had to be tied to the bottom. He died in this state. On Fri day morning we had sailed 450 miles. The tarpaulin sail had given way hal. a dozen times, and as often mended, and on the w hole the boat bad gone very well. Tbislday the infant died. Our situation bad Become miserable in the extreme. The sea was breaking over tbe boat in clouds of spray, wetting every ODe to the skin, and all were silling in pools of water. There was nothing now to cover the women, as we had used everything for sails. Crump had seized all of us more or less, ami our legs uud hands were greatly swelled, and con sequently very painful. The fresh water was so scarce that less than a pint had to serve four persons for a day, and provisions were equally scunty. Some of us were raving aud violently mad. A woman died as tbe evening closed in, but the fact was not noticed at the time, and the body was still In the boat wheD the greatest ol all our calamities occurred. About J 1 o’clock a heavy wave struck the boat, and those on board in their drowsy condition falling sud denly in a mass to the lee side, she went over, andal! were left strugglingin the wuler. The bout floated upwards, and Reilly managed to struggle up and seat himself on tbe keel. He assisted Blair to get up, which tbe lat ter did with some difficulty,*’us a drowning passenger had laid hold of his leg. Reilly then assisted Mr, Davies, who had nlso to shake himself clear of some one clinging to his foot. No others got hold of ibe boat, though several were heard shouting or swearing as they swam übout in tbe dark ness. One poor soul had got under the bout and he was heard for nearly half an hour. He was apparently holding on by the thwarts, and breathing the air which had been enclosed when the boat rolled over, or which reached him through the chinks in her limbers. About 12 o’clock a heavy sea struck the boat, and the three who were sit tirig astride of the keel were again immersed iu the water. Blair was tho first to recover his position, and by his assistance the other two men were bright up on the boat. The sail was floating alongside, and we got hold of the ropes attached to the mast, and watching for a lavorableopportunity, mun aged by pulliogupon ihe ropes to get the boat righted. She was, of course, full of water, and we balled hei at first with flat pieces of wood, and ufterwards with two tin cans which we found attached to the thwarts. At length by hard labor we got 'her clear. Everything was lost out of tbe 1 'boat except one oar, tbe mast, the tarpaulin sail, and the yard, and we were thu3 left without provisions or water. When day light broke we again made sail upon the 1 boat as well as we could, and again ' steered our course to tbe eastward with ' favorable wind. By Sunday evening we were beainniDg to get down-hearted. 1 We saw a sail—tbe first we had seen—but 1 she did not observe us, and darkness short- , 1 ly afterwards closing in, we had no light with which to attract attention. We were downcast at this, bat about 6 o’clock we were suddenly cheered by seeing a light to : the eastward: which turned out to be from Tory Island Lighthouse. We made for the light, though it was blowing strongly from the southwest, with a heavy sea running. On getting close to the land, we found our selves among dangerous breakers, and were forced tomukeour way out again to save our lives. We ran out some five miles and brought too to wait tor daylight. About this time some heavy showers fell, the first of any conseqaence that we had met with since the wreck, and wo employed every means with in our reach to catch a little fresh water, of which we stood so terribly in need. At day light on Monday morning weonce more set our sail and made for the land, determined to get ashore al all hazards. We ran along the shore for some distance till we saw a likely place in Mulroy Bay, on the west side of Fannet Point Having a favoring . breeze, we masoo worth of property.
