a _'q_i_i.irter of the. time I had spent in looking
for‘-3tb‘e steamer we were there, and examin-
ing the spot—-but we found no vessel. The
Lucy Anne was gone. A consultation was-
iiow held--I was sent for, and had to repeat
all the particulars of iriy escape, and was
questioned as to the probable time that must
h.ive elapsed after my leaving, before she
could make a start. The distance she had
run since then was calculated, and opinions
taken as to the course she had steered. At
last it was determined to run directly offthe
find, some twenty miles, it being supposed
she would not have made more than that
with the land-breeze now blowing, and there
wait fordaylight. This was done; and the
first thing I heard on waking in the’ morn-
ing, was, “ Sail ho!" from the lookout man

should know what she \‘f33_ No alteration of

tn :1 little more than an hour, we could
make tier out to be the Lucy Anne. There
was it bustling about forward, visible as we
neared her, and that alone was the only sign
of consciousness of our presence that She
showed. We approached still nearer, and
"then was heard something like the faint echo
of a stifled shriek over the w:iter——no one
could "say what it was like. The steamer

not a vestige of one was to be seen. There
was the Lucy Anne-—hatches on and decks
swept-—just as she was when the. boat board-
cd her before.
The officer was about leaving when a
noise was heard forward. There was :1 noise
of cursing and struggling, and a man half
bound, his clothes torn from his back and
bleeding from wounds, rushed out the fiik’stlc.
lt was Jack Ayres. " Look," shouted he to the
wffict-.r, “Look at the liirboard cable,” and
faiiiting from loss of blood, fell upon deck.—-
'\s he said this, the captain coolly walked
E,-slow, and a moment after the report of a
pistol told his fate. The oflicer and boat's
crew rushed forward, and looking over the
bows saw the bri,«_r’s larboard anchor was let
go and the cable hanging .n the water. The
grew of the. brig stood huddled together, pale
and horror stricken. “Great heaven !” cried
the officer, as an inkling of the truth flashed
upon him.
“Man the windlass—-heave in ilie chain—"
round went the clanking‘ purchase, and the
chain grated and surged, a few fathoms
are in, and all eyes, except those of the men
heaving, are fixed upon it, as link after link

cleanliness:
ll'l my last, girls, I hinted that you could
‘not trust the doctors to cure you when you
are sick. Now, this is not so much that they
do not know what is the matter. as that tlie.y
do no.t l.ke to tell you. If one did, you
might feel inclined to show hint the door;
that is, if he spoke good, plain English. We
do know one (.l0Cl.Ol..-‘\Vl'l0 did once give a
very candid prescription. He was called in
to see a sick infant, and after feeling its pulse
at arm's length, he turned to the mother,
who sat in a most interesting attitude,la-
inenting for her darling, with the beautiful
anxiety of a mother’s love, and interrupting
Ker pathetic inquiries with a very gruff man-
tier, he said :
“ Wash your child, madam, and put clean
clothes on him. Take away that cradle-bed
and get a clean one, and let some fresh air
into this room 1”
The mother bridled—“ You don't mean
to insinuate, doctor, that my child is dirty '3”
“ Not at all, mailiiin, not at all. He’s on-
lfl filtl'iy——-e-xtreinel_v filthy! Clean him——
keep him clean -give him a dose of rhubarb.
and he will be well enough l” ~
Once it hen they thought l was too young to
iinderstaiid, l heard another doctor tell uioth
or the way he iiianaged such cases. Said
hc, “ l always order some particular kind of
soap, or water of a peculigar temperature, or
seine especial kind of towel, the patient to
be washed with extreme care at at certain
time of the day, and the clothes about them
changed with some certain precautions At
tliis they never take offence and will gener-
ally fulloiv the‘ directions most implicitly,
when with some simple medicine to be ta-
ken at cei'taiii intervals, so they get along
very well; whereas if ljust told them to
wash the patient and put on clean clothes-
to keep them clcan—[ should be driven out
of the house l” Since that, whenever a phy-
sician directs me about a shower bath, or
sitting bath, or plunge bath, the first thought
is. "- the doctor thinks I need. washing l”—-
Well, many a time I did, too, for I used to
think the habit of cliildliood-—washing every
Saturday night—w-as duly observed. l nev-
cr got offended at a doctor about bathing

more disgraceful to have a foul skin than it
foul breatli, had blood, or bad stomach. All
come from a want of cleanliness.
Iowa Lrgisltilive JoI.~c.—-An incorrigible

“ that the bill should be in force from and
after its publication in the [oiva Free Dem-

The bill went back to the House so amend-

The following, frointhe “New York In-
dependent,” a professing religions newpaper,
but in reality the organ of the Lynch Law I
faction presents ‘a fair specimen of the
gross misrepresentations and pathos in which
fanaticism indulges:
“ We have stated a supposed case. Look
out real one, as the 'l‘elegraph last week re-
ported it: A woman has lived in Cincinnati,
has hardly been known to be colored at all ;
but is claimed by a man from the South as
his‘property,’is sworn to as such, and is
carried off to her fate. ‘-Her price,’ is is sig-
nificanly added, ‘is three thousand dollars.’
And so the insatiate lusts of the man who can
afford it are to be gratified on this lovely and
defencelcss woman,. under the shelter of
the law which our government executes;
under the very shadow of the flag which the
nation makes honored.
“ And yet we are told to ‘be quiet’ under
this ; and she is told that she must not resist
it! Is there a tiian on carth who ever knew
the love ofa sister, whose blood ever bound-
ed at the kiss of the loved, who does not
know that this is false '! who does not know
that the right ofself-preservation strikes deep-
er here than the obligations to maintain what
is called ‘Civil Order ?‘ Verily, it would
seem that the very wires that bore the intel-
ligence to us, must have trembled like a
pulse that throbs with horror, under the bur-
den of the news! that every breeze along
their course must have howled its contempt
for the_iiation that endures this !”
The Boston Traveller says :—“ The ‘case’
here so eloquently depicted, is really a very
liard case—-beiiig none other than the arrest
and carrying off" by force of a beautiful and
very valuable white wonian——wliite and
chaste as marble its-elf'—‘ lovely and defence-
less,’ and as the Independent tiuly says—and
valued_at the unusual price of three thousand
dollars. To aggravate the matter, the woman
was taken from her resting place in a state
of perfect nudity, and with no other habili-
ineiit than a chain, from wrist to wrist, was
absolutely packed into a box to conceal her
from public observation, and ‘carried off to
her fate.’ Kind reader, calm the ‘throbs of
horror‘ which agitate your pulse at this recital.
Gentle breeze, spare your ‘ howlings of con-
tempt for the nation that endures’ such an
outrage.
It was the famous Greek Slave of Powers,
a lovely and defenccless’ statue, which was
thus claimed and carried off by _a " man
front the South.’ He drew it as a{ prize in
the Art Union ; there was no question as to
its identity, nor as the. justice ofliis claim up-
on it as his ‘ property’—and ht‘ accordingly
took and carried it awa ', ‘under the shelter
of the law which our government executes;
under the very shadow of the flag which the
nation makes honored.”
Cargo of Elcp/mnls.——VVe are glad to learn
that Mr. S. 8. June, whom we formerly an-
nounced as having come to Gallc in a vessel
from America, for a cargo of elephants, has
succeeded in procuring the object of his
search. On his arrival in Colombo, he was
informed that Government had elcplinnts for
sale: but we happened to meet him one day
in search of what was here called “ Govern,-
ment.” _\Vith his Yankee go-ahgad bus-
iness notions, he supposcdthat, if a party had
any lllm.‘-’ l‘3‘-' Sille, l’.‘.a't party ought to know
Wll‘.’.'t price to ask for it. Government has
elcplteirtts for s.ilc,sai-J every person; but
nobody, individual or collective, could be
found to fix a price at which they would be
sold, so that he declared there was really no
government in Ceylon Failing in this di-
rection, Mr. June, a perfect stranger to the
country, and assured by many residents that
he could not, in any reasonable time, obtain
the number of ell‘pllltl'|l.S he required, wen
into the interior, and, notwithstanding the
tiiiusual wetness of the season, succecdctl in
picking up betiveen twenty and thirty ele-
phants, which are now on their way to Galle,

We wish Mr. June and his “boys and girls,"
as he calls them, a quick and safe passage to
Yankee land.

Onions and Sin7u'rs.-—A Paris correspond-
ent of the Journal of Commerce suggests
that the low condition of niorals among the
French is attributable to the national fond-
ness for,and the use ofonioiis. This vegetable
contains more than any other, an aiiiount-of
sulphur and phosphorus. The writer con-
tends that a people moving in an atmosphere
of sulphur, an atmosphere in whiclitlie great
father of evil is supposed to be mostly at home
cannot be as susceptible to moral impressions
as others. Just think ofthe morals of the
community rising and killing with the price
of onions, and the milder and higher graces
of huinzinity growing out of a short crop
of those infernal bulbs l Imagine the mis-
take ofa steak with onions ! Think of sip
