At the close of his day’s work, says the paper which records the fact, “he was handed over by the Marshal to be put in the lock up?’ The other belongs to Mississip- pi, and is of colored complexion. We are told that a negro was tried in Tu- nica county, of that State for hog steal- ing, and acquitted. He was immedi- ately put on another jury to try and acquit one of the negro jurors that tried and acquitted him, charged with horse stealing.

In a speech delivered before the Boston Lyceum on Wednesday last, General But- ler agnin discussed the state ‘of parties in the country. In this last utt.rance, the General took care to materially moderate his infernal proposition to maugurate a war with England on the Alabama claims, a He now proposes that Great Britain shall leave the Western Continent, an l transfor Canada and the rest of her North Aweri- can possessions in exchange for the claims, If nothing else will Liing England to terms, he insists that thereshall be complete and stringent ncn-intercourse between the two nations. Since the advantages of trade and commerceare generally believed to be reciprocal, it would be hard to dis- cover how Butler's non-intercourse scheme would affect the people of England more than those of the United States. While not many persons will admire the wisdom and statesmanship of Butler's present ; roposi- tion, it shows how much he has been com- pelled to back away from the original scheme of war for the sake of maintaining the supremacy of his party. In doing so, he cannot help renewing his assurance that a war with England would bring many recruits to radicalism. In view of all the advantages which he perceives in such a conflict, with true radical piety, he prays that he and his party may not be led into temptation. In discussing the questions of taxation and tariff, Butler strongly ‘“‘doubts the “wisdom of exhausting the commercial eap- i “of the present “generation,” Heemphyiis cally declares his hostility to the policy of Grant's adminidteation in this regard, and insista there shall be a futher reduction of taxation in order to prevent Bontwell fron This is the . carrying it out, doctrine, CONFID * oe» ING WOMAN. —————— Marry a Man She Never Saw, An incident came to our knowl: edge a few duysago which may strike in its way, When Conductor——-—, of one of the Central Pacific Puassen ger trains, took charge of his train at Truckee bound for this city one day last week, he noticed among his‘pis. sengers a very pretty, modest. appear. ing young lady, who seemed to be traveling alone.

The New Orleans Picayune says the Louisiana Saving Baok is building a large vault, Admission to it is gained through large wrought iron doors, to which are affixed patent locks. These locks were put in order yesterday by a locksmith named Tympe. After are ranging the fastening of the door, he lit a candle and proceeded inside the vault to see how they fitted. Closing the door after him the eccentric eatch of the lock fell, locking him in. Those upon the outside could render him no nssistauce, since iL was a combination lock, and no one knew the numbers at which it was set. In this narrow cell, | shut in by the four walls of the vault | und the hinge iron door, the man felt as if he was buried alive. The only means by which he could obtain air or drink was through a small hole in the door, ' not the twentieth of an inch in diam- eter. The atmosphere of the cell-like place was fetid and noisesome, and the man felt as if’ he' would suffocate. For- tunately he had carried with him into the vault a hammer and chisel, and with them, the only instrument he had, he proceeded to cut his way out. The work wus s ow and tedious, and re- quired two hours and a half of inces- sant labor. He succeeded at last, however, and was taken more dead (than slive from the vault. The won- ‘der is that he did not suffocate. Fresh beef from Texas is now selling in the markets of New Orleans at the low rate of fifteen cents for choice cuts, and from six to twelve cents for coarse {and inferior pieces. It'is preserved in | refrigerated casks, and has all the | qualities of meat fresh from the -abat- tir. As this new method sof trans porting meats may be applied to dis- | tant cities, as well as those nearer the | cattle producing State of Texas, it is | important to understand how the effect (is produced... A refrigerated cask is double usually of the capacity of six hundred pounds of fresh meat, It has a sealed can in its centre, filled with | salt water, reduced with ice and chem- icals, making it fifteen degrees colder than ice. This is so arranged that the water can be removel at pleasure and cold water let in. By this simple means it ig not necessary to open the package, which is air tight, and no ice or water comes in coniact with the meat. For long passages, the ir, the oxygen of which causes the rapid de- struction of meats, is withdrawn, and a very smail quantity of ice will keep the meat for any desired length of time.
