J. Hyatt Smith, a letter from an African Prince. His name is not at all unpronouncable, and is considerably re- moved from being poetic. It is Charles G. Tucker. He is a natural son of old King Tucker, widely known for his mer- cantile transactions in live Africans. The letter is decidedly of the Connecticut or Massachusetts pattern. Writing, spell- ing, style, ink, and paper, are ‘Christian and American, and not in the least de- gree upon the Geld Coast model. This royal fruit informs Mr. Smith that he is now studying ‘Geography, Colburn’s Arithmetic, Grammar, Astronomy, and Dictionary.” Le adds to this intelli- gence the humble expression of a wish that Mr. S. will pray for him “to get a knowledge of all those studies.” The Prince is training under the care of the Nendi Missionaries. Neighbors to the Mendis in Africa are the Shebros. The latter live upon the Coast—fish a little, grow a little rice, make a little salt, but mainly rely upon the — choy for a subsistence— stealing not a lite Ni but a t many big ones. The Mendis living ta the interior are a superior race. They are uncussed with Slavery, and are an industrious and thrifty people. They have a funny and yet interesting tra- dition among them, accounting for and amiably excusing the indolence of their brother Shebros. As related by Miss Woolsey, of the Mission, it is thus: ‘When God created Man, he began with the white man very early in the morn- ing, and when He had given him his hands and feet, He said, “Now, my Son, you have along day before you. You must learn letters, learn to make all ships, all kinds of tools. All kinds of animals you must make work for you.” “So when it came noon, God came down from Heaven one time more, and fle say, ‘now I make Mendi man.’ So when Mendi man stand on his feet, He say, ‘now. my son, you must work too. The sun up good ways yet. You make axe, you plant trees, plant rice, work till night.” Yet once more, when the sun low, most down, God come and say, ‘now I make Shebro man.’ When She- bro man stand on his feet, He say, «my son, it is night now; sun is down, I got no work for you; 80 you must fish, and make salt, till I come down some day and sot you to work.”—Buffalo De- mocracy. Tue Kix or Pacssta Non-Scrrap re A Sr. Lovrs Court. —Some time since his Majesty, Frederick William IV., King of Prussia. brought his action in the Circuit Court of St. Louis, against Felix Coste, 4. Aud Albcit, the mighty « Poick” of | administrator of Frederick William Kup- per, claiming 7,400 thalers, moneys al- leged to have been embezzied by the de- ceased from the post-office of the King, which moneys belonged to the various subjects of the King, and were, after the embezzlement, reimbursed by the King to the parties who were sufferers by the embezzlement of Kupper. The petition of the King alleged that he is an absolutemonarch of the kingdom of Prussia, and as King thereof is the sole government of that country; that he is unrestrained by any constitution or law, and that his will,expressed in due form, is the only law of that country, and is the only legal power there known to exist as law: that by the law of Prus- sia any woney, or its equivalent, sent through the Post Department of Prus- sia, if lost or stolen, is to be refunded to the owner by the King. Kupper, it ap- pears, was ® postmaster in Prussia, and absconded with the money committed to his care in 1849. Le came to St. Louis, and died the same year, when Ocste be- came his administrator. The case was ably argued. ‘The court held that the petition did not show any cause of action atcommon law; that the payment of the money to the true owners, by the King, did not at com- pared, unto which the Chief Priests of] ™0" law authorize the King to recover it of the defendant; and that this court had 2.

Loss or a Wirs.—‘‘ The death of an old man’s wife,” says Lamartine, “is like cutting down an ancient oak that has long shaded the family mansion. Hence- forth the glare of the world, with its care and vicissitudes, falls heavily the widower’s heart, and there is noth- ing to break their force, or shield him from the full weight of misfortune. It is as if his right hand was withered, is if one wing of an eagle was broken, and every movement that he made brought him to the ground. His eyes are dim and glassy, and when the film of death falls over him, he misses those accus- tomed tones which might have smoothed his passage to the grave.” 07-The less a man knows, the more noisehe makes.
