Biitution, from Bremen, arrived here' this ttftcrnoon, bringiiig. Lorrttao dales to ihe 17th ult. , - . Very fev tlnglish papfcrs have been re ceived, and the news rsx therefore, very meagre. The steamer Asia arrived on the lG:h. The Indian, from Portland, arrived the ame day. The political news ia unimportant. The Paris correspondent of the London Times eays that the King of prussra had sent new instructions to the Neufchatel conference to the effect that the rccogr.ition of his rights to sovereignty in Neufchatel " is the express condiifort of U -renunciation of thai sovereignty. The Spanish etpediiion against - Mexico assumes a more imposing aspect- Gener al Pexuela has been spoken of for the chief command. A dispatch from Copenhagen says that the sound dues treaty was duly signed on the 14th of March. BCSSli. Russia wa making preparations forv decisive 'campaign in the Caucasus; -She has 100,000 troops along the . shore of the Caspian, and had besides secured the ac tive co-operation of several of tho native chiefs. " '" v -' CHINA. The overland China mail had arrived at London. Its advices confirm the telegraph ic accounts of the wholesale attempts at poisoning by the bakers of Hong-Kong. Several hundred persons bad been poison1 ed, but none fatally. The proprietor of the bakery wa arrested on his way to Ma,coa and was to be tried immediately at Hong Kong. Lurge frambers of war junks wefe col lecting for the purpnsc of attacking Hong Kong, and 6ome fears were entertained by the English on account of the smallness of theif- land forces ; and an application was made to th$ Governor-peneral of India for a regiment, which was refused. . The French ship) were anchored at the. bay, of Hong-Kong. The Ameriearr frrgafc Ltfant was also in the harbor. The Sun Jacinto had pro ceeded to Srn tin to look after some war junks that had attempted to intercept the Am-rican steamer Lily. The Chinese Commissioner, Yeb', had, addressed Commissioner Parker, asking tvhy he had not . ordered the American ships and American subjects not to inter meddle in the present troubles. Mt. Par ker's reply was not known. Tea continued to advance at Shanghai, and the market was excited. Several chops of Congon had been taken at 14 teals, the same quality as sold for 8 teals in October". v . A Paris letfef sayg that a French charge left Marseilles on the 12th for China, with Instruction to the admirals of the French fleets in the China seas, . to operate with the English forces conformably to the ar rangement concluded between the two governments.

They are always, discontented, alike in sunshine and in stornr. If affliction comes upon them, they imagine them selves greater sufferers than Job. It floating in the current of prosperity, they slill grumble because others make head way faster than they, and with less toil and trouble. The following -anecdote is directly in point as illustra- uve oi me tendencies oi tnis unnappy class :' -' When Jias a rtian got enough ? Nev er till he gets more.i VA very good story of old embargo times and the war of 1812, was told us the other day Under the impulse of the refnoval of the em bargo, there was a sudden rise in the value of property, and such a demand' for it that merchandise was sometimes carried off from vessels, before the pw- ners arrived at their place of business ; and the parties taking it came in after wards to say that they-were at the ow er's mercy, and must - pay? what they chose to ask. A brig was lying at Bos ton harbor, which had come up from Plymouth just before the embargo was aid, fit for sea. The Plymouth owner thought it was a good time to sell the brig, and sent up his son for the purpose, telling' him to demand eight -thousand dollars for her and' not take less than six. John went to Boston,-found how things stood,- sold the brig in a moment, and hurried home elated with his bar gain. As he neared the house, he saw the old man marching np and down the piazza,; and presently he rushed out to meet his son and hear the result of the sale. - f " " "Have ydu sofd the brig, John?' "Yes, father." , Tor how much, John?" "For ten thousand dollars." - "Ten thousand dollars !" cried the old man, with staring eyes, at hearing a price more than double what the ves sel cost. "Ten thousand dollars I Til bet you've sold her to some swindler, who don't care what the price is, and never means to pay his notes." "Notes,- did you say, fathei? Why, there were nor notes iti the case.- ' I got the money and pnt it in the; bank. Draw and yott will geritjw - k The old gentleman's excitement was suddenly cooled,- and as the ruling, pas sion rose in its place he said i , . "I say, Johnny, couldn't you have got a Leetle More?' : A LITEYANkeE. Professor Anderson was "looking over the American and foreign newspaper in the New York Dutchman office, when be saw that he was scrutinized by a gentle man of tall stature and who wa evidently from the country.; The following conver sation took place. .,. ,,' "I say ! yotf are Prof. Anderson-, hey?" "Yes, sir." . J . . ,; ,-.: t4Wal, you're a tarnation smart roan, 1 hear. Yeou.havn't got. the bottle with yeou, have yeouf" "No, sir." - - "Wal, I'm' from down East, hev been raised in ' Maine, and I should, tike to pur chase er duplicate or that- are bottle, as 1 m going out suimping for- I guess if 1 had your bott e, or its twin brother, I'd soon swamp the Scotties without talking politicks either." ' "I never carr my bottle with me, nor have 1 a duplicate of It:" - 'Sorry for that, eif,' safd the-s-i-starri-pet. However, he continued' l was once taught a trick when a bey, but I almost forget how ihe thing was done, I'll tell you how h was, stranger, as near as l ean. 1 u"sed to take a red cent and" -change it into a ten dollar gold piece. ..Ob,' said the Professor, 'that is quite simple, a mere trick "of sleight of hand. I know it's - not very difficult, buuas I forgot how will you show me I at the same lime handing a cent Id the wizard. , 'Ob, yea, if it wiltcbJige you, I will snow fi ikafoateBm-tioia jrptjr rjanj;agiTj the wizard, 'This is your cent, is it not V 'Yes, sir.' 'Are you sure that you have it?' said the wizard.' 'I guess have,' said Ire, 'and I'll bet a dollar that you tan'l change it into a ten dollar gold piece.' Done,' said the wizard, 'now hold fast.' Yes, sir, I reckon I wjll but stay ! down with your dollar; here's mine 1' said the Yankee. , The wizard covered the dollar. - 'Now, sir. open your; hand.' He did so, .and to his utter, astonishment had a bona fide ten dollar gold piece ! . 'Well, sir, said tne wizura, you 6ce you have lost your dollar.' . 'I guess I have,' said he handing over the two dollars. . Iow, said the Professor, I'll bet you an other .dollar I will change- the ten .dollar gold piece into your tent again, much quicker.' 'INo you dou t, said ine gent Horn, Maine, placing ihe money in his pocket and but toning it up tight. 'I'm much obliged to you, Profes- or, but I reckon I'll leave it as it is. Coou morning, old hosts,' said r.e, walking out of the office, and turning round, as he reached" the door, he placed his digi tals irv- close proximation to his nose, and said, 'I guess there ain't anything green ti- bout this child, and left the l'rolessor in utter amazement at his coolness. ' MtfRDER AND SUICIDE. A horrible tragedy occurred in the town of Moravia; N. Y., about 14 miles from Au burn, on Wednesday "morning week, of which the Auburn American gives the fol lowing account r On Tuesday night last, Mr. Wood and Miss Shaw were in conversation together v- I. si t in oiarK s nmise as use ns i i ocioci ana parted with apparent good feeling. Yea terday morning.they were egain in compa ny wiih each other as late as 10 o clock, and there was no manifestation made of ill feeling or misunderstanding. At this hour Wood entered the room where Mrs. Clark and Miffs' Shaw were sit ting. - lie had or pistol in his hand,-and commenced loading ic He tried a ball and found it too small; Miss Shaw volunteered to procure a "parch" for it. She did so. I be "patch" was not large enough and sht- procured another, and then the pistol was loaded. ; ',-,-. Wood thenaid "whaJ shall I shoot?"; Some one said "shoot into the wood box." : He replied "I won't do that." Mrs. Clark exclaimed -"Don't 6re in the house. If you are a going to shoot, go crm of doors and do- K. At this moment, Miss bnaw cried out, "If you want to shoot, shoot me, and shoot me so that 1 wou't Jtrck more than oneel" He turned towards hef deliberately, and placing tl e muzzle of the pistol against her breast, tired ! The balk entered her body just below the heart, and she fell to the floor with a shriek. Mrs. plafk exclaifrred in horror "You have shot that girl f go and call the neigh' bors !" " Wood then took two letter's frctfi his pocket, and throwing them upon the floor, directed Mrs. C. to show them to the Coro ner. He said nothing more and paid no at tention to his victim, who was lying on the floor in an apparently dying state. He commenced re-loading his pistol and Mrs. C rushed from the house to alarm the neighbors.- After she had proceeded a few rods, she heard another pistol shot, but ran on. The neighbors lurried out, and -on reaching the bouse found Wood dead, he having shot himself directly through the heart. Miss Shaw had recovered sufficiently to converse. She said she heard Wood breathe several lime' after he shot himself. She produced one of the letters that Wood threw upon (he floor, and. directed ihal it should be read if sbe died if she did not, that it should be banwd. A physician from Mofavfa probed the wound, a'frd extracted from it the ball and a book and eye that bad entered it from her stays - The ball evidently glanced off from contact with some resisting substance. Otherwise, instant death must have been the result. - ; . At daylight this morning Miss Shaw was still alive, but it was not believed pos sible for her to survive. She refused to con verse in regard to the matter, or give any information relative to the cause. The incidents connected with this dread ful affair would seem to indicate very clear ly that it was the re ult ot a mutual1 deter mination on the part of both the actors in it -."vv HAD 'EM AT LST. A young mt.n from the rurat districts? went to the post officr the other day. with a dollar note for a dollar's worth of postage stamps. He was told that paper money was not received. He ' went away, and shortly returned with four Spanish quar ters. "We don't receive them now., said the attendant, '-for more than twonty cent a piece. "Tho countryman thought Unclr oam mighty particular, so went away a gaio and obtained a dollar in coppers . "Now," said htr on returning to the office and layttisf down bis "pile, at the window of the delivery, I guess I can trait ye." The munlnsjdt Jjoked at the .display of "specie, curreocy " and cooly said, "we never take more than three cents in coppers at one time ; it is not.a legal tenderabove that9um.H - v" The countryman looked at the compos ed official for the space nf a minute and a half without stirring ; and then he belched out7 "Leok here, you; ain't, you almigh- ty kind of particular for fellers locked in such a jail as this 'ere.' You don't take only three cents in coppers, ata time, hey ? Well, than spose you give me three cents worth of a stamps anyhow." The official very politely out him off a single stamp and.passed it out, for which the country man laid down three cents. He was a-, bout to pass away, when the lat er cried out "Look here. .you I Hold on! That ere's onlyjone timo-Now 'sposevyotiv gi xrto' tftrf ecents worth teoftlw'-emJt TJnelVSara'a Clerk was : not leng in dis covering that he had caught a tartar. He turned back to tie window. -How many coppers have you got ?" he asked. ", Wal only about ninety seven of 'em; I had a hundred on 'em when I begun." "Pay 'em nV was the gruff reply. "Pass out your stamps first, and then I will," paid Jonathan, "but I recon you don't ketch me agoin." The stamps were passed out, the coppers handed over, when . the country man, went off, sayiog, "Is'pose because a feller has office under Uncle Sam. he thinks he's smarter'n all creation ; but I guesthey larnt somethin' that time."
