The Subscriber, a practical Boot-maker of some ex

desideratum to be yet supplied to the public in the way
of a suitable burnish for boots and shoes. Most of the
articles now used cither injure the leather or fail to
impart that lustre so necessary to give to man's " nn- j
dtrstandins "' a proper finish. He has therefore, dur- .
ing the last twelve months, been devoting himself to
the task of preparing an article free from these objec
tions. and lias at length after much investigation and
experiment completely succeeded. The result is" dill's
lit p.'iix ultra Burnish.'' He only wishes that it
may be tested in order to establish its superiority
over all others. Call on him at his t-hop opposite Mr
Lauder's Marble Factory. Hay street, and be supplied
with an excellent article at a cheap rate.

2 Iffiilr at Cuba.
The following is a copy of the Message trans
Congress by the President in regard
Xthte confiscation of the American steamer
yj1 Warrior", by the authorities of Cuba :
Washixgtox, March 15, 1854.
fM House of ' Representatives : liJ
Un compliance with the resolution of the House
Representatives of the 10th ins.t., I herewith
nit a' report of tbe Secretary of State,
1 W"SMUinfrat at the
Jnrtirtrnent in relation to the seiznre of the
DJack Warrior at Havana on the 28th ult.
i There have been, in the course of a few years
r.T- mmmno T-lot;ni! ;K ,.f A "
k-illl oitiron n,wl inonlts to tl.o mitinnal flo.. U !
JK C : . 1 . i :a.z 1 . 1 ,,
the Spanish authorities in Cuba, and all at
tempts to obtain redress have led to protracted i
and as yet fruitless negotiations. The docu
ments in these cases are voluminous, and when
prepared will be sent to Congress. ;
Those now transmitted relate exclusively to 1
the seizure of the "Black Warrior," and pre
sent so clear a case of wrong that it would be
reasonable to expect full indemnity therefor as
soon as this unjustifiable and offensive conduct
shall be made known to her Catholic Majesty's
Government; but similar expectations, in other
cases, have not been realized.
; The offending party is at our doors, with large
jvowers for aggression, but none, it is alleged,
fjr reparation. The source of redress is in
another hemisphere, and the answers to our just
complaints made to the Home Government are
but the repetition of excuses rendered by inferior
officials to their superiors in reply to representa
tions of miscoudnct, The peculiar situation of
the parties has undoubtedly much aggravated the
annoyances aud injuries which our citizens have
suffered from the Cuban authorities, and Spain
does not seem to appreciate to its full extent
lipr responsibility for the conduct of these au
thorities. In giving very extraordinary powers
ti them, she owes it to justice and to her fricud
1 relations with this Government to guard with
great vigilance against the exorbitant exercise
o! these powers, and in case of injuries to pro
vide for prompt redress.
'I have already taken measures to present to
the Government of Spain, the wanton iujury of
tbe Cuban authorities in the detention and
seizure of the "Black Warrior," aud to demand
immediate iudemuity for the injury which has
thereby resulted to our citizens.
In view of the position of the Island of Cuba,
its proximity to our coast, the relation which it
must ever bear to our commercial and other in
terests, it is vain to expect that a series of un
feidly acts iiifringing our commercial rights,
and the adoption of a policy threatening the
honor aud security of these States cau long con
sist with peaceful relations.
Incase the measures taken for amicable ad
justment of our difficulties with Spain should
unfortunately tail, 1 shall not hsitate to use
the authority aud means which Congress may
grant to ensure the observance of our just rights,
to obtain redress for injuries received, and to
vindicate the honor of our Hug.
In anticipation of that contingency, which I
earnestly hope may notarise, I suggest to Con
gress the propriety of adopting such provisional
measures as the cxitrency mav seem to demand.
FRANKLIN PIERCE.
Accompanying the above Message were sev
eral documents, which were sent to the Printer
before copies could be taken. They consist of
communications from the acting American Con
sul at Havana, and from the officers, agents, and
owucrs of the confiscated steamer.
American Families ix Eirope. The editor
of the American Law Register, an excellent
legal journal, published in Philadelphia, says:
It does not, probably, occur to the American
families who are visiting Europe in great num
bers, and remaining there, frequently, for a
year or more, that all children born in a foreign
country are aliens, and when the' return home
will return under all disabilities of aliens. Yet
this is indisputably the case; for it is not. worth
while to consider the only exception to this rule
that exists under the laws of the United States,
viz : the case of a child so born, whose parents
were citizens of the United States on or before
the 14th of April, 1802.

Oh ! say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's lagt'earning
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the peril
ous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly stream
ing !
And the Rocket's red glare, the Bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
Of snv rlnos th:it. Star-Sniinirc" Banner still wave
. f . t
O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave
On the shore, dimjy seen, through the mists of the deep.
Where the foe's haughty host in silence reposcj,
What is that which the breeze o'er t"be towering steej
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses.
Now it catches the gleam of the norning's first bea,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream,
Tis the Star-Spangled Banner, O ! long may it wave
O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
And where is that band, who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country shall leave nsno more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul foot step's pollu
tion, No refuge could save, the hireling and slave,
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave.
And tbe Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave,
O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
O! thus be it ever, when Freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation.
Blest with victory and peace, may the lleav'n reaeb'd
band,
Praise the Power that hath made and prcscrv'd us a
Nation ;
Then conquer wc must, w hen our cause it is just ;
And this be our motto, '-In God is our trust."
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave,
O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
Death through the Bite ok a CatjOh
Friday the North Durham -ceroner held an in
quest in the village of Hartou on the body of a J
little boy named Robert V ilson Hunter, son of
an exciseman, who died in tearful agony on
Tuesday night, of hydrophobia, through the bite
of a cat. It appeared that in November last
the poor little boy was standing in his father's
garden, when a cat came ruuningdowna passage
in great agitation. Thiukiug the animal was
chased by dogs, the poor little fellow caught it
in his arms. But no sooner had the poor child
done so, than the infuriated animal caught him
by the hand, and held it tenaciously until the
father of the child came and choked it off. The
poor little boy's hand was fearfully torn, the
muscle being much lacerated. The child was
immediately conneyed to a surgeon's, and the
wound carefully dressed. After about three
weeks the wound appeared to heal, and the boy
to enjoy his ordinary health, until Monday
(week), when he was taken ill. cry alarming
symptoms soon supervened, and a surgeon being
sent for, he pronounced it a decided case of
hydrophobia. On luesday, Dr. brain, of biui
derland, was called in, but after spending a dis
tressing day, the poor little fellow was relieved
from his sufferings by death about midnight on
that day. The cat, which belonged to a grocer
in the village, had been destroyed the day it bit
the boy. The jury returned a verdict that the
child died of hydrophobia, caused by the bite
of a cat. London Daily JVews
Decidedly Cool. The Cincinnati Commer
cial of the 14th inst., says :
A leap not less perilous than that of Samuel
Patch, was witnessed on Saturday, by the cou
ductor and passengers of the Covington and
Lexington train. A young farmer was walking
across the bridge at Demoisville, just after the
train had passed over, when the engine was
suddenly reversed and the cars were backed at
a rapid rate. There was no room on the side
of the bridge to stand between the edge and the
cars; the only alternative was to spring off into
the creek running thirty or forty feet below.
The young man gave one look at the cars and
instantly sprung over the side and struck the
water feet foremost. The train was stopped,
but to the surprise of all. the hero of the peri
lous feat came out of the water, shook himself
and walked off whistling, "Jordan is a hard road
to travel I believe."
Russian- Will Horse. In the steppes of
Russia it is not rare to see a two year old colt
rush singly to attack a band of four or five
wolves, kill one or two of them, Ianiethe res
and spread the terror of his name throughout
the country. The wild horse strikes with his
fore feet like the stag, and not with his hind
es as is popularly believed. He draws him
self up to his full height against his enemy,
pounds him beneath his murderous pestles, then
seizes him bctweeu the shoulders with formida
ble incissors and tosses him to his mares to make
sport for themselves and their offspring-

The Best one Out. A man with scraggy
whiskers, aud an np-to-snuff look, came into our
office yesterday, and handing us a letter, pre
cipitately retired. It was fortunate that he did
so, for our feelings were much outraged on pe
rusing the following abortive attempt at the
mere skeleton of a witticism :
"Why is the man who turns away from the
beef and pork in the market house, to look after
fish, engaged in an unprofitable business."
Because he leaves the substance to pursue
the shad-ow!"
The prayers of the church are requested in
behalf of this hardened sinner. Wilmington

The Oregon Pea.
During a recent visit to Washington we pro
cured from the Patent office a package of the
Oregon Pea, which we have distributed since
our return to gentlemen who promised to give
it a fair trial. The South Carolinian of Tues
d.y contains a long advertisement, in which
this pea is highly spoken of and offering it for
sale by Messrs Boatwright and Barkuloo, of
Columbia, at one dollar per pint. The follow
ing article from the Jacksonville (Fla.) News,
would seem to corroborate the statements as to
its value : ! "'
"Mr Albert G Philips, of ling's Point, St.,
John's river, has been kind enough to leave at
our omce'a sample of the Oregon Tea. He in-
forms us that some two years since he noticed
an acc6unon,heo"in 6 rCThciitnati paper; which
stated they grew very luxuriantly, and it would
be of adyautnge to those parts of the south
where grass cannot be well grown to cultivate
them as a substitute for hav. With much pub-
jJic spirit, and the hope of being able to benefit
the agriculture of tliis part of the
State, Mr
Philips sent for a pint of the peas, at a cost of
$1, and paid in additiou' $1;30 for postage.
" On receiving them, he planted them two feet
apart each way, there being from five to eight
peas in a hill. Though the summer was dry,
and on this account he hud some doubt whether
they would do well, they flourished, grew fiuely,
and soon snread so that thev shaded the eroiind.
Zfhe stalks were stout and notwithstanding their
'ThbVidant foliage and consequent weight, bore
theinselves up, and grew from three to four feet
lit.
.The great advantage attending the use of this
pea is, that in curing it does not cast its leaves
as is the case with the common cow pea or clay
pea. This is no trifling advantage, for thereby
atlarge amount of tender vegetable matter is
leaved lor the use of stock. It was found to answer
well as a substitute for hay, and that stock are
fond of it.

"ou pleasbbserve," said old Mr Lambwcll,
as he led us through his school the other day,
"that 4,hwbovS are required to display the ut
most attention "lb que"4JJtns and discipline, and
in a short time become divested of that most
annoying diwpositiou to tease each other, in short
they soon settled down in all the gravity of
mature years, under the wholesome system I
have introduced."
We at tRis moment. arrived iu front of several
boys, who were standing around a bucket of
water, and one had just charged his mouth with'
the contents of a tin cup, while the old gentle
man stooping to recover his. pen from the floor,
when another boy passing behind, snapped his
finger beneath the boy's ear, causing him by a
sudden start to eject the contents over the peda
gogue's bald pate. Starting upright, with face
and hair dripping, the master shouted :
".Who did that?"
The party unanimously cried out. "Jiin
Gun, sir."
"Jim Gun, you rascal, what did you do that
for?"
Jim, appalled at the mischief he had done,
muttered that it was not his fault, but Tow
Owen had snapped him.
This changed the direction of old LambwcN's
wrath, and shaking his hand portentously over
Tom Owen, he asked him. "did vousnau Gun?"

A Hushand in Trouble. A few days since,
a lawyer in this city was seated in his office
busily employed in studdying out a plea, when
the door opened, and a young, stout son of Erin
riM. i . t 4,.... i
entered doffed his hat and said that he desired
to take an advice of "his honor." The lawyer
bade him sit down and inquired his business.
"Shure," he replied, 'I want a divorce from
my wife Biddy.
The lawyer asked wliat was the trouble, but
Pat seemed loth to tell.
"Does she not treat yon well, docs she not
take care of your house, has she deserted you or
does she like any oue better than yourself?"
were inquiries made by thg lawyer, who endea
vored for some time in vain to pump out the
reason of the desire for a divorce. At last,
weary of the investigation, the disciple of Coke
informed his would be client that he could do
nothing for him without knowing all the facts
of the case.
-"Well, if I must, I must," replied the hus
band; shure there's a little darliutl love better
than Biddy!
The lawyer could hardly refrain from laugh
ter sufficiently to inform the Hibernian that the
law could not touch such a case as his, and Pat
left jvith a countenance "more of sorrow than
of anger." Bos. Trar.
Goon Enough to be True. The Lynn News
tells the following atory of an iucredulous young
man, whose father had promised before death
to hold "spiritual communication" with him :
The spirit of the gentleman, (who, by the
wav, had been somewhat severe in matters of
discipline,) was called up, and held some con
versation with the boy. But the messages
were not at all convincing, and the youth would
not believe that his father had anything to do
witli thcin.
"Well," said the medium, "what can vour
father do to remove your doubts?"
"If he will perform some act which is charac
teristic of him, and without any direction us to
what it shall be I shall believe in it."
"Very well," said the medium; "we wait for
some manifestations from the spirit land."
This was no sooner said, than (as the story
goes,) a table walked up to the youth, and,
without much ceremony, hiclctd him out of the.
room !
"Hold on! stop him," cried the terrified
youth. "That's the old man! I believe in the
rappings!"
Our hero has never since had a desire to stir
up the old gentleman.
Toracco Ch ewers, Beware. Besides the
poison contained in the weed itself, many of our
tobacco chewers are absorbing into their sys
tem an oxyde of lead, the same which kills so
many painters, and paralyzes others. Lead foil
is cheaper than tin foil aud some of those who
put op tobacco for Chewing, use the latter in
stead of the former. The counterfeit may be
known by its dark blue or bluish color, whereas
tin foil is nearly white. Tobacco chewers who
do not wish to absorb two poisons at once, will
do well to profit by this cautiou.
