"SOLD AGAIN " A NEW DODGE.
Last week the Schr. R. W. Brown, from
New York, arrived at this port, with an as
sorted cargo. Among the numerous Bills
of Lading were two, signed for two bcxes,
marked B x D, Kingsville, N. C, and B Sc
M, Kingsville, N. C. shipped, the former
by Treadwell & Co., and consigned to Mor-
gan & Smith the latter by Gilbert White
& Co., consigned to Smith &c Grey, "to be
delivered in like good order and condition,
with expenses on the boxes amounting to
$13,75, according to custom. This amount
of expenses was prepaid in New York, by
the Agents of the line, to be collected of
the consignees at this port, or their assigns,
upon delivery of the goods.
The vessel was discharged, the two boxes
stored in wnrehouse and advertised at own
er's risk and expense.
Suspicion was aroused from the fact that
the boxes were very light, and the packages
were opened, and on examination the con
tents foundlo be, what would you suppose,
only s-a-w dust. We do not know whether
there be such parties as Treadwell & Co.,
or Gilbert White & Co., in N. York at this
place there are no persons doing business
under the name of Smith 6c Grey, or Mor
gan cc Smith. It is plain that some person
has swindled the vessel out of $13 75, for
which the vessel lias value received to the
full amount of two pine boxes and one bushel
of saw dust. Wil. Herald.
PEA NUTS, OR GROUND PEAS.
The commissioner of Patents has receiv
ed from Mr Daniel Shaw, of Lillington Hall.
New Hanover county. N. C, an interesting
description of the cultivation of this nut,
which has beer, successfully raised for sev
eral years. The crop of last year 1856
umounted to over one hundred thousand
bushels, the price of which per bushel in
Wilmington is quoted at $1,25. As soon
as the frost is out of the ground, the land
is broken up, and about the middle of April
laid off with a nall plough thirty -three
inches each way, two or three peas are then
dropped into the crosses thus made. The
plants are kept cletut with hoes and ploughs
until the vines cover the ground; but no
dirt is put on the vines. In October they
are dug with a rake or plough, and as soon
as they are dried they are staked, U.B
bushels to rhe stack. Hogs are then turn
ed into the field, and they soon fatten upon
the peas left upon the ground. During the
winter the nuts are gathered from the vines.
When the vines arc left upon the land for
the hogs to feed upon. There is no crop
that improves the hind so much; but when
the vines are removed, the land is exhausted.

Neoko .Sailoks. The Nvetv York
Courier & Enquirer calls attention to a
singular and probably unforeseen effect of
the decision of the XSnpreme Court in the
Dred Scott case. Unless two-thirds of a
crew a-e American citizens, the vessel
becomes subject to foreign tonnage dues.
It has been quite common for our shipping
masters to hire a whole crew of negroes,
who are now decided not to be American
citizens; consequently the vessels will be
liable to foreign tonnage dues.
Another Runaway Mahhtage. A
case nearly parallel to that of John Dean,
occurred out jest, recently. A "timid"
young man, employed by a rich citizen of
Indianapolis, ran off with his daughter, and
the couple were married at Chicago. The
"heavy father" followed, just in time to be
too late, and after a row between father
and daughter (for the young man did not
dare to face his lute employer) the affair
was amicably settled, and they all went
home together.
Ml rdeh will out ! Some twenty years
ago a man in Tyrell county, N. C. named
Wm. Collins, was found in the woods hang
ing to the limb of a tree by one of his own
suspenders, and the genei al impression has
been that the man hanged himself, until re
cently a negro named Grausy, proves to
have murdered Collins by first choking him
to death in the road where tbe parties met
and then bearing him off at a distance in
the woods and hanging him by the neck.
By the decrees of Providence tho negro
lately let his crime leak out, and is now in

Thf, "Plagi aixst." This is the name
given by the Syracuse papeis to an indivi
dual who is there, giving some curious ex
hibitions of his powers of endurance while
sticking knives and pins in his flesh. He
inserts the long, narrow blade of a knife
into the fleshy parts of his legs and anns,
also through his cheeks. He will drive
pins into his limbs to their very heads, at a
single blow, without wincing. W e are told
that he also practices the same feats upon
others when he can find willing subjects,
which is not often. Little or no blood fol
lows the knife, and a slight scar is the only
trace left of fhe weapon. We believe the
name of the man Tracy.

I A MARRIAGE IN THE ROTHSCHILD
FAMILY.
On Wednesday afternoon, says the Lon
don Times, a marriage was celebrated with
great pomp and splendor at Gunnersly
Park, near Cbiswick, the country seat of
Baron Lionel de Rothschild. The contract
ing parties were the representatives of the
two great or rather, greatest firms of the
' Rothschild family, the bride being Miss Le
onora, the eldest daughter of Baron Lionel,
and the bridegroom Baron Alphonse, the
I eldest son of Baron James Rothschild, of
j Paris. The wedding repast was laid out in
j two large rooms, one of which was specially
built on to the dining room, for the occa
sion. Both were decorated with exquisite
taste and splendor. The walls were cover
ed with large mirrors, with ornamental trel
lis work between, up which were twined
long garlands of artificial passion flowers,
lilies, wreaths of orange blossoms and other
emblematic Flora, suited to the occasion.
The outer saloon was lighted from the
- - - ..... . . . ... 1 it Anmnnaail if rrlilCC
. . , , , a 4.
over the panes of which were strained nut-
ings of white and pink silk in the form of a
Maltese cross. The subdued roseate hue
thus shed ;nto the chamber beneath pro
duced a most beautiful effect. Tables were
ranged along the whole length of both
apartments, and, bul that in this age of pro
gress tables turn instead of groaning, we
should have expected them to remonstrate
at the weight of silver which was piled upon
them. Great center-pieces, epergnes, can
delabra, race cups, aud massive tankards,
flower vases, and the chefs-d'eeuvre of Se
vres, Dresden and Worcester, strewed the
board in rich profusion. The wedding
cake, a very marvel of sugar architecture,
was in the centre at the lop, upon a salver,
which for size and weight might have done
duty as a shield for Achilles, while behind
the seats of honor rose up a buffet of gold
plate a background quite in keeping with
the crorcreousness of the whole scene. The
covers were laid for 140. Only the plate
of the family was used. We cannot hazard
a guess as to either its weight or value, but
it must be enormous.
The bridal presents, both in quality and
variety, were more than sufficient to have
stocked an Eastern bazaar ; so a mere
glance at the most prominet must suffice.
Breakfast services, as usual, distinctly pre
vailed, there being some five or six of them,
all of silver, except one set from Mrs Mont
fiore, which was of massive standard gold,
enriched with the most elaborate chasings.
To this princely gift succeeded a long row
of candlesticks, gold and silver filagree,
and enameled ivory work boxes, lace, fans,
jeweled buttons, prayer books bound in
Hold and jeweled, escritoires of buhl and
marqueterie, more breakfast services, and
a lace parasol. The latter was in a kind
of jewel case, the handle was dbvered with
serpents of rubies and diamonds, and the
tip of each riS was formed of an oval-shaped
emerald and large pearl.
Arranged on a table by themselves were
the jewels, a dazzling pile, all given by dif
ferent members of the Rothschild family.
Close by these, and in a well merited places
of honor, were some humble but beautifully
worked little presents from the scholars
and pupil teachers of the Jewish Free
School. Shortly before 3 oclock, the guests
who were invited to be present at the cere
mony, began to arrive. The chief mem
bers of the Rothschild family, both here
and in France, were of course also present.
The visitors assembled in the drawing room,
where Dr. Adlcr, the chief rabbi, assisted
by Mr. Archer and Mr. Green, prepared to
perform the ceremony uccording to the
rites of the Jewish religion. A velvet can
opy, supported by four of the bridegroom's
j-.i c yV' Itfinneiiir vn a i"lnirid nt tho .in-
, , , , . ,
per end ot cue room, l lie uriaegroom was j
then led in by his nearest male relatives,
and placed under the canopy. Tho bride,
who till then had remained in her apart
ment, descended to tho saloon, attended by
no less than sixteen bridesmaids, all attired
alike in white dresses, trimmed with light
blue, the bride wearing the usual lace dress
and orange blossoms.
At the door of the saloon she was met by
her mother, who, assisted by the brides
maids, completely enveloped her whole fig
ure and person in a veil which reached to
the ground, and which is worn in compli
ance with the Scriptural verse in Genesis
relating to Rebecca. ' She was then con
ducted to the saloon with the same forms as
the bridegroom, and placed under the can
opy. The chief rabbi, having pronounced
a most eloquent exhortinn to each, the ser
vice was commenced in Hebrew. The be
trothed then drank a cup of wine and wa
ter, and the bridegroom taking the ring,
placed it on tho bride's finger, repeating in
Hebrew slowly. "Behold, thou art betroth
ed unto me, with this ring, according to
the rites of Moses and Israel." The mar
riage contract was then read, and prayers
resumed, the betrothed again drank a glass
of wine between them, and the glass being
laid on the ground empty, the bridegroom
crushed it with his foot, all the relations at
the same time wishing (in Hebrew) that tbe
marriage might be happy, and the bride
and bridegroom be as irrevocably joined as
the pieces of glass were sundered.
About an hour after the conclusion of the
ceremony, the visitors sat down to the din
ner, for euch, in fact, it wan. Tbe bride'-
Tiealth was proposed by the French Embas
sador, and drank with enthusiasm, shortly
after which both bride and bridegroom left
for Mentmore, the seat of Baron Meyer de
Rothschild, in Buckinghamshire. MrDrs
raeli then proposed the health of Baron
James de Rothschild, and Lord John Rus
sell that of his colleague the Baron Lionel.
More toasts followed, and in the evening a
grand ball was given, at which thero was
brilliant attendance of the aristocracy aud
beau monde.
1
POSITION IN SLEEPING.
It is better to go to sleep on the right
side, for then the stomach is very much in
the position of a bottle turned upside down,
and the contents are aided in passing out
by gravitation. If one goes to sleep on the
left side, the operation of emptying the
stomach of its contents is more like draw
ing water from a well. After going to sleep,
let the body take its own position. If you
sleep on your back, especially soon after
a hearty meal, the weight of the digestive
organs, and that of the food, resting on the
. . . . , .. , , ,
great vein of the body, near the back bone.
compresses it, and arrests the flow of the
blood more or less. If the arrest is partial
the sleep is disturbed, and there are un
pleasant dreams. If the meal has been re
cent or hearty, tho arrest is more decided,
and the various sensations, such as fulling
over a-precipico, or the pursuit of a wild
beast, or other impending danger, and the
desperate effort to get rid of it, arouses us,
and sends on the stagnating blood, and we in tho eyeg of the worldf ue Khould be a
wake in a fright or trembling, or perspira- j wiieV, and when the latter thinks meanly
tion, or feeling of exhaustion, according to , of her husband's appearance or talent, tho

Smut is Wheat. Mr. B. F. Barkley,

few thoughts on woman:
What makes a woman now-a days?
Intelligence? good looks?
A miud where all the virtues dwell?
Xo dry goods hung on hoops !
Ho! whales, that sail the briny deep,
Uepiue not at your fate;
Your flesh illuminates the world.
Your bones make women great !

MORAL AND SOCIAL PHILC'3 OFHY
Tho Rev. Dr. J. P. Wilson, of Newark,
is delivering a course of Sermons on tho
Family Circle." The fourth of the series
was devoted to tho "Duties of a Wife," and
the Newark Advertiser gives tho following
outlino of its leading points:
The first duty of the wife is aubmissbin.
reverence and deference for the husband.
, The Bible communds the husband to love
tho wife, but it does not stiy one vord of
the wife's loving the husband; that it takn
for granted.
Sho should acquiesce in the autliority of
the husband, wha should always remember
that when command begins, happiness ends.
She should have submission to the reason-
j alie authority of the husbanJ, not like that
of the servant to the master, but a quiet
submission which tends to her own advan
tage more than her husband's.
Some women are weak enough to marry
husbands to rule them. Such marriages
are always unhappy, as tbe wife acknowl
edges she. marries a fool, and is obliged to
drag him after her all her life, and in the
end finds sho has less advantage over him
than she supposed. Women should submit,
as our first mother Eve had the sentenoo
passed on her that her husband should be
her desire, aud should rule over her. A
woman should not, however, bo submissive
in divine matters, but should differ in meek
ness, leaving God to decide.
The second duty is real and high respect
to her husbaud. If her husband is no model
bring her to her grave with a broken heart,
they should be screwed up in bar coffin.
Tho third duty is gentleness and quiet
ness of spirit. A wife should be cheerful
and uiimurmcring, und tbould acquisce
with the husband in the management of the
family affairs. He should locate the resi
dence, regulate tho family expenses, and
have the power of deciding such matter;
for on him the responsibility rests to keep
thfi wolf from t,u, duor A wife,g Complajnt
her husband, because she can't go to as
, .
insch expense as some other women, is at
c uUUU- i""MH and cruel,
She should have the control of ber tcngue,
knowing when to say just tho right word in
mmmmn Sho should not try to have tho
J- word, or to talk a husbaud down, lor
like an ancient General, another suoh vic-
tory would he her ruin.
Tho fourth duty is that she should be a
help-meet. If a help-meet was necessary
in the days of inuocenee, what is now.' Sho
should be wise and judicious in the manage
ment of the household uffuirs aud should
follow the commands of the third chapter
r
of Solomon, which is more than many mod-
oru wiv?8 A part of female education
should bo U attend to commou tUm d
fi,, music or worsted piece can take
the place of order aud neatness at home.
Fancy pursuits should bo secondary to
family duties.
She should have tender conciliation and
sympathy for her husband, who comes from
the cares of the' world to find repose and
sincere affection at borne, and should muke
him forget in its genial sunshine the storm
without. In times of sorrow and gritsf sho
an illustration be referred to a case iu bis
OWQ kuowledge, where a woman redeemed
a husband from intoxication, after 20 years
suffering, by ber constant love. He also
referred to the case of Mrs Patten, the
, ..... . . .
ieinnic caiHaiu, ii" a. hub urip-uiuri.
The last duty is that of a wife's helping
j her husband in the duties of a holy life.
; Site should do this by conversation aud
action; not by continually thrusting religion
on hiin, but by her lowly meekness of de
portment, her chasteness of piety, and
1 anxiety for ber husbaud 's welfare, life
bread should bo cast upon the waters, and
perhaps would be found after many days.
Tho sermon closed with a fervent appeal
to personal piety and preparation for eter
uity, which might come at any time.

rived from the Latin word rrinis, which
