MISCELLANY. c 1
LEGAL ANECDOTE.—-A friend at our
elbow," says an , exchange, relates . a. legal
anecdote which is too good to be‘ -lost."-—
It is of course located “ out West,” that
region so famous for its luminous jurists ;
and‘ illustrates the ruling passion for
“poker,” even among western members
of the bar. The court is in session, the
‘judges on’ the bench, and the case of
Smith vs. Brown is called up. 4 ’
“Ail ready l” shouts the counsel for_
defendant : but the counsel for the plain-
! tiffdoes not respond.
“Who’s for the plaintiff ?” inquired‘
the J ndgc somewhat impatiently.
‘.‘ May it please the court,” aid is rising
member of the legal fraternity, “ Pilkius
-‘is for the plaintiff, but I have left him
just now over in the tavern,playiug a game
of poker. He s got a ‘sucker’ there, and
he’s sure to -skin him if he only has time.
He's got the thing all set -to wring in a
.‘cold buck,’ in, which case he will: deal
for himself four aces, and his opponent
four queens, _so that your honor will per-
ceivc hemust ‘rake the parsimonicrs.’ ”
The lookof impatience vanished from
the face of his Honor at once, and an ex-
pressiou of sorrow _ more than of anger
took -its place. At length he said with a
si h: . «
“ ear me,"that’s too bad! It hap-
pens at a very unfortunate time, I am
very anxious to get on with these cases.”
,' A brown study followed, and at length
ahappy idea struck the judge.
“ Bill,” said be, addressing the friend
of the absent Pilkins, who had spoken,
“you understand poker about as well as
1 Pilkins._ Suppose you go over and play
"his hand.”

Columbus and Dr. Kane.
5 The Rev. E. H. Chopin, lately deliv-
ered a lecture at Albany, .in which he
made the following allusion to Columbus,
his. burial place, and the ’late Dr. Kane.
We copy from the Albany Evening Trans-
cript’s report. '
Columbus possessed a restless spirit ever
seeking new objects ‘ on which it might
fasten itself, and even in death, his bones
have not been permitted to rest. They
‘were intrered first in" Spain then in San
Domingo, then in Cuba, and as -he now
lies, the steamer which cleaves the waters,
of the buy may shake the rude covering
of his long last, home. _ How fitting that
the, bones of the first great discoverer
should be buried in the island from which
have gone out the remnants of another
great navigator-—'one, who mei_isured_by
his ‘accomplices was proved not too young
to die. Rise up, eternal barriers of Green-
land icé, the architecture of six thousand
ears, to bar the entrance to the pole.
Shut in the huge secrets of ages, and
lock themfast in your_icy embrace.
'* * * * Y,ca,re the undying monu-
ni'ents;which' tower. to the memory Of}!
brave man and" a. philanthropist gone, to
great and mighty spirit, cutoff in its early
burst, and withered when it had. but be
gun to bloom. Hang over them. bright
curtans of Northern Light, for he who
traced the path of discovery among their
icyfastnesses has ceased _t-o-be on earth.
Fit place for'thy transit, loved Dr. Kane,
‘ was the island on which lay mouldering
the bones of the other great‘ navigator
_ o first gave America‘ to the world.

The Husband’: Reform. ’
.A’ stranger of great. distinction, and
‘ who hadplayed no inconsiderable part in
the political, dramasof tlielday, ‘has late-'
ly réturnedto Paris, where some years
since.he dwelt for ‘a long time. - On-‘his
first visit to the capital, young and ‘al-
ready fumous,‘he married into the aris-
tocracy of thc“Faubourg St. Germain.-—
The return of this personage has excited
the curiosityof the Parisian world,‘justi-

moderately to value.
I At the time of this ‘illustrions~stran-
gerfsrentrance into the world of‘Pa.ris,
those shrewd observers, the envious - and
jealous of others’ prosperity, remarked
- that his Vshining qualities were ~(larke,ned
by.two very great“ faults—avar_ice'and-
brutality; The latter of these faults was
9. sad feature in his married life,'and was
the cause of 'poigna'ut suffering to a. wife-
well-born, brought up in the most pol-
ished society, surrounded by affectionate
relatives, and" accustomed to all the re-
D ' finements aristocratic of good-breeding.
It was not long before she was made to
feel the change ; for the character of her
husband began to ‘display itself in "the
early days of her married ‘life,’ and a
shade of ‘bitter to mingle with the sweet-
ness of the honey-moon. This was sad,
and all the promised happiness "faded
away. The union whichhad commenced
under the most favorable auspices, saw
itscharms destroyed by stormy half-
hours, which became more and more‘ fre-
quent. It required all the rare virtue of
the youngwife not to succumb to the tri-
als which humiliation, terror, injury and.
grief compelled her to undergo.
One day, aftera scene of conjugal vio-
lence which_l_ind occurred in presence of
many witnesses; the“ irrascible husband
entered his own apartment, whither he
was -followed by on old and tried friend,
who, by his devotion and uprightnéss,-
had earnedthe right to speak plainly, a
right he did not" hesitate to exercise.-
Without-heeding the still unsuppresséd
rage, he very freely commented on the
conduct of his "friend, so little becoming
in’ a gentleman; The culprit listened
.with ‘a gloomy air, and when the lecture
wss terminated, he said, “ Your rep'roof'
is just, »I ‘deserve it ; ‘and I reproach my-
self more bitterly than you have done,
nowwhat would you have? It is stron-
ger than I am, for it ‘is out of» my power
to control it ; I giveaway to my passion,
fly into a rage, and forget myself. When
it is over I am ashamed, despairing ; and
yet all this does not prevent me from re-
commencing, and sometimes even the
very next day,-it is fatal.”
. “ Yes, very fatal.”
“‘I have need of a good lesson, and
will teach it to myself.” ‘
And the culprit for some minutes strode
through the apartment with rapid steps
and lowering brow, keeping- silence, and
twisting in his fingers a cigarette. The
expression of his features, and the con-
traction of - his forehead,‘ betrayed the
painful thoughts and stormy conflict that
were going’ on within ;__ then, his resolu-
tion taken, he opened 9. drawer and took
from it a_ bank-bill for one thousand francs.
His friend looked on with astonishment,
"unable to imagine what he was about to
do. He rolled up the bill, put it in the
taper, and lighted his cigar by the flame
of the precious paper. The friend, stu-
pifi'ed at this strange action, strange in a.
man with whose excessive parsimony he
was so well acquainted, rushed towards
him.
,“Lcave me 1” said the miser, with a
choking voice.
“ But you are mad.”
‘_‘ No, I know what I am doing—-I am
"punishing myself.” ~
vWhen the bill was .uothing but a small
heap of black ashes, our hero—-and he
may-be called one after this action—ad-
ded, in a firm and solemn voice-
“‘ I swear, on my honor, that each time
I give_ way to my brutality towards my
wife, I will punish myself in the most sen-
sitive part-—my love of money.”
This oath was religiously kept.
Since that day, the miser has strictly
paid for the brutality of the husband.-
Aftcr a scene of violence, he appears be-
fore his self-appointed tribunal, and sub-
mitting to the law which he himself lays
down, he pronounces his sentence without
appeal. The condemned opens the cus-
ket which. contains his treasure: Pole
and t1"ei,nbli\ug with the effort, beneath
which his passion bends, he takes a bank
bill -and burns it. .
The expiatiou was always in propor-
tion to the offence, he had a tariff grad-
uated by the degrees of ‘crime. For a
simple harshness, the price was five hun-
dred lrancs ; for a harshness before wit-
nesses, one thousand ; and if gesture and
action lmd -followed the spoken brutality,
it was two thousand francs. This course
his friend states, might have ruined him,
for in a single month it cost him‘ thirty
thousand francs. But happily it‘ turned
out otherwise. ' He became an entirely
,’cha_nged'msn. ‘His faults have complete-
ly" disappeared. The severity of the
remedy worked a. perfect cure. Now his
wife, and his evenness ‘of disposition is
proof. against all shocks ;‘ and what is
strangerstill, he has become liberal and
generous, and spends his ample fortune
‘freely and intelligently.
Happy are they who _
force of mind, but the‘ means of so erad-
icatingavice. Whether many Parisian
husbands will follow the example when
they have faults to correct in themselves,
is a matter of considerablcdoubt.

Doing Business on the American Plan. -
A little Frenchman started a lady’s
Embroidery Establishment, not long since,
in New York. An American friend cal-
ling in to see him soon after, inquired
how he was “getting along.”
“ Oh, var’ vell I sails var’ many

za-neese in ze Americanc ‘style. I goes
feerst of all sings and saindes to ze ladees

“ Hoops !” inquired the American,
struck dumb (except that word.)
“ Yas! ze hugh ’oops I” (trying hard
to aspirate his h,) “au’ afore many of ze

“It must have cost you an enormous

“ Vat ees ze car-go, ees ect ze ra’l-

“ N 0, the load of a vessel.”
“ I ’ad nosing to do viz ze veesailes.—

A correspondent of the Springfield
(Ma.ssachnsetts)——-Republican, writing
from New York", after spepaking of the
impression Miss Heron made upon him as
an actress, says : '
“ On Sunday morning and evening I
attended the church of Rev. Henry Ward
'Beec‘.ier, in Brooklyn ; and without any
disrespect to Miss Heron. I think that
the preacher is decidedly a greater at-
traction than the actress. Certainly Mr.
Beecher bass reward for all the oblo-
quy with which individuals and classes
seek to associate his name, in the atten-
tive and sympathetic faces of such a
crowd as no other preacher in America
has the privilege of addressing. Slips,
aisles, even the pulpit stairs, were full,
and right worthy were the discourses with
which be rewarded the attentive ears of
his great congregation. If there are
greater preachers in America, I have
never heard them. ._His speech in the de-
monstration of power. It is‘ wonderful.
Such utter felicity of illustration I have
never heard ; and his parishioners tell me
-that his illustrations are always fresh, and
never repeated. It would seem that he
sees nothing and reads of nothing which
he does not appropriate. His prayers
are, if anything, more remarkable than
his sermons. One “I recall, and shall ever
remember. Hismood at the. commence-
ment seems to_determinc his . theme and
on this he enlarges until it swells into the
symmetry and significance of a sacred
poem, like those which burned upon the
lips of "David and Isaiah. At the eve-
ning service, he’ rose, looking "sod and
weary, and giving out his" hymn, and sit-_
ting with his face covered while it was
have alluded. He confessed the sweet-
ness of life, the blessedness of family and
social ties, and the glory and grace of chris-
tian action, and yet to “depart and be
with Christ would be far better.” We
long for rest-—rest for the body—rest for
the soul. And then he took up, one af-
ter another, the different positions of life,
with their peculiar tolls, trials and tempt-
tations, and told how they sought the is-
sue of rest. The recital of these trials
showed large acquaintance with human
life and human heart, and gave life and
language to the burden of every spirit.—
The whole prayer, from its beginning to
its close, was ofspring alike of thorough
piety, true human sympathy, an illumi-
nated imagination, and a power of ex-
pression that was marvelous. It seemed
a touching ofi'er1-lug, raised in the strong
arms of trust and faith and resignation to’
The Throne. ,
"I have alluded to his powerof illustra-
tion. _'.l‘his ho exhibits often in a man-
ner to draw a. ‘smile from his hearers ;
but his earnestness and practicableuess
soon obliterate it ; and as the great truth
which he forges, amid‘ the resending
strokes of his hammer and the flash of
incudesccnt cinders, is finished, and driven
home, all the quaintness of manner that
attended the process is forgotten. I re-
call one or two illustrations wliicfi made
the greatest impression. I have heard all
my life how God abhors sin——-liow repul-
sive and horrible it is to him, but I nev-
er fully comprehended how the infinite
mind could be affected in this way until
Mr. Boecher illustrated it. Said lie, you
are an honorable, whole-souled, upright
man. - One po ion of your nature has
been preserved in its integrity, or meas-
urably so. Now, when you see a man
do a._ mean, dirty, contemptiblc thing,
does it not offend you? do you not abhor
it ? Does it not disgust you ? Do you
not loathe it and the actor ? Now God
is filled out, all around, with perfect at-
tributes, and there is not a sin commit-
ted that does not touch a. corresponding
or -rather opposite excelence in his consti-
tution, and he abhors all sin as you do
that one.

HAPPINESS or WORKING MEN.-—The
situation or social position of the poor-
and by that word we mean the laboring
population—is by no means so deficient
in the méans of happiness and comfort as
many are-led to believe. “The mechan-
ics,” says Lord Byron, “ and working
classes, -who can maintain their families,
are, in my opinion, the happiest body of
men. Poverty is wretcheduess; but it is
perhaps to be preferred to the heartless un-
meaning dissipation of the higher orders.”
A popular author says, “ I have no pro-
pensity to envy any one, least of all the
rich and great ; but if I were disposed to
this weakness, the subject of my envy
would be a healthy young man, in f'nll
possesion of his health and faculties, going
forth in the morning to work for his wife
and children, or birnging them home his
wages at night.” _

result of a. union-of the bisulphuretted
carbonate of the protoxide of manganese
with tho decemmillia-sulphuretted villainy
of the disturbers of Kansas andthe exten-
sionists of slavery, we cannot speak with

' Tm-3 Bosrox EXPEDITION ror: SEBAS’l'0-
roL.—The Boston '1‘ranscript, of Tuesday,
contains the following :—
The Boston Submarine Company have
gagcd in pushing forward their prepara-
tions for rziising the sunken ships at Sc-
bastopol, under an arrangement made at
St. Petersbnrg, by Col. G. W. Lane, and
on Saturday last the clay fixed for sailing,
ata quarter past five, P. M., one of the
vessels of the expedition, the “ Silver
Key,”_cast loose from the warf, and took
her departure for the Black Sea. She
was freighted. entirely with machnery
and apparatus adapted to raising ships,
and other submarine operations, and is
commanded by Capt. Joseph C. Currier,
well known as one of our most reliable
ship masters .
The screw steamer General Knox, ano-
ther vesscl of the expedition, is already
in the Black Sea.
and the best divers in the United States,
are now on their way, with several com-
plete sets of submarine armor, ample ap-
ing Engine, capable, when driven to its
full capacity, of discharging one thousand
barrels of water per minute. By means of
this wonderful machine, a. sunken vessel,
even in eighty feet of water, (thed eepes,
sixty-six feet,) can be pumped ,out, filled
with air, and thus raised, without the
slightest injury. Upwards of thirty large
sunken steamers have been raised by this
new and admirable process, in the United
States, within the last two years, and it is
a noticeable fact that in no case has it
failed of sucess.
tempt to make the sunken vessel perfectly
tight.
gallons per minute, are of no consequence,
where the engine will discharge as many
barrels in the some time. ' ‘
In raising the steamer Knickerbocker,
in September last, from the bottom of the
Hudson river, by this process, two air
ports, each ten inches square, were pur-
posely left open, in addition to all the oth-
er leaks, and yet in just one hour and fif-
teen minutes she was afloat, ready to be
towed, to New York. This included all
the stoppages required to keep her upright
as she rose. The actual working time of
the pump was but twenty minutes. She
was a. steamer of the largest class, 300
feet long and 32 feet beam, and till taken
hold of by the Boston Submarine Com-
pany, was regarded as a. hopeless case.———
These facts are attested by F. W. Moores
of the U. S. Navy, who, with Mr. Wel-
lington-“Lee, Chief Engineer of the Com-
pany, superintentled the operating.
Mr. Lee, who has probably had a more
varied and extensive experience in sub-
marine engineering than any other person
in America, will direct the operations at
Sebastopol. .
It is reported that another expedition
is fitting out at Philadelphia, to try the
old plan with chains, scows, &c. Should
this expedition go, there will probably be
work enough for both, as -there must be
many vessels still valuable, which were so
shattered and broken by shot and shell,
as to be unsuited to this new method, and
cannot be raised except by a. dead 1ift.—~
Such cases, however, have been provided
for by the Boston Subm:irine.Company—-
they having already sent out pneumatic
and liyclrostating lifting power equal to
265 tons dead lift, to be followed, if need-
ed, by similar lifting power, equal to
1000, tons.

THE INDIA RUBBER SHOE BUSINESS.-
The report of the minority of the House
Congressional Coinmittee on Hayward’s
petition for a. renewal of his sulphur pat-
ent, gives the following statement as to
the‘ exteht and profit of the India Rub-
ber Shoe business :
In 1844 Goodyear gave to Hayward
theright to manufacture three hundred
pairs of shoes per day for what he owed
Hayward ; subsequently, in 1845, this
right was transferred to Hayward and
finally, in 1848, Goodyear transferred to
Hayward and others, who were denomin-
sted shoe associates, the sole and exclusive
right to manufacture boots _ and shoes
under all his patents, for which he was to
receive $10,000 and a halfcent on every
pair of boots and Shoes made by them,
or under their license. These associates
licensed others, charging 3 1-2 cents on
‘every pair made by their licenses. Under
these several licenses, Hayward has amass-
ed largc wealth. The shoe associates man-
ufacture nnnually 4,000,000 pairs of boots
and shoes, on which they make a profit of
from 15 to 25 cents'pc1° pair.
