Our readers will remember (says the Troj Whig) that ia Jane, 1851, Mr. FrancU Boaras-o, of the firm of Booraaso & Proynt left thin ity on a voyage to Eorope. A few months afterward news came to bis family that he had been drowned aear the coast of France, while out in an open boat endeavoring to catch the Bordeaas steamer. As he bad a considerable amount of money with him at the time, it was feared that be had been murdered, and as years pasted and nothing was beard from him, his friends had settled down to the conviction that such had been his (ate. Within a few months a ait was commenced, "by his representatives against an Insurance Company, which had issued policy upon bis life, and the case was to have been tried at the nest Circuit Court. A few weeks since, Mr. Richard Bloss, of Troj, received a letter trom New Orleans, from stranger, inquiring after a family by the name of Bourassb. Mr. B. answered the letter, giving the information he desired, and he soon received Mother commnnication of his safety. Dr. Bloss started with this letter in his pocket to the residence of Mrs. Boarasso, bat on his way was thrown out of his carriage, the letter was lost, and Mr. B. remained in a state of insensibility for some time, and nnable to communicate the glad tidings to. the persen most interested. He was at last enabled to make known these facts to Mrs. Bonrasso, and a cerrespondence followed ia which mataal explanations were made be tween the long teperated husband and wife. It seems Mr. Bourasso, became concerned in some Government difficulties, and was imprisoned in France. On his escape he heard that his wife bad married arin aod was never disabused of this errooeous impression ontO recentlj. Mr. Bourasso wiU be in bis former home again in a few weeks. -:: , ' : - i; ' The Cegjo. . The natural prejudice of the whites against , tha black race seems to be gaining strength rather thaa diminishing. :The tendency of legisla-tioa and judicial decisions both North and South, , atsms to be to degrade the Negro. A cotempo I rary gums up the facts as follows: - - - - Arkansas has enacted a law to expel its free colored population. The lower House of Miss l oori Legislature tss passed a similar bill, provi-ding, that all free -negroes, residing in the Stats la 18S8 shall become, slaves! and forbidding atuancipatioa within tha StaU. Similar tills are ; pending ia the Legislatures of Maryland, Yir-ginia, North Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama His. aiasippi and other States. .. Arkansas prohibiu . the employment of fire negroes ia the navigation f fcer rivers. ' Virginia has, in effect pro , hililad ssaancipation within the State. .

A morement has been made in Pennsylvania to procure a law forbidding the settlement of negroes in that commonwealth. Ia bat two or three northern States are negroes permitted to vote. Is Michi gan, by judicial decision, they may be excluded from the cabins of steamboats and the first class coaches of railways. It is evident that free negroes are regarded as aa undesirable element ia the population of the States, and that this feeling is as strong in the North as in the South. And it is evident that this feeling will not abate, bat increase, in the future. Pilltburgh Dispatch. ; mtu i i - London Examiner on the Sickles Case. The London Examiner, remarking npon the Washington assassination, sayst Murder in America has not onlj hs apologists but its ad mirers. The provocation of Mr. Sickles, which led to the tragedy, was undoubtedly great. He discovered that his young wife had been sedueed by his friend, Mr. P. B. Key, who bad basely abused the confidence and hospitality of her has band. Having obtained from his wife a full con. fession, Mr. Sickles was exasperated by the sight of Key opposite his windows in the very act of making a concerted signal for an assignation. Upon this he armed himself with a revolver, and went forth to shoot Key as few would have the heart to shoot a dog." Here follows an account of the affair, when the Examiner proceeds: "We have been long struck with the theatrical turn which crime takes in the United States, When an American sett about a murder he prepares his part as for a a scene in a drama. He does all that as it would be done on the stage, and the public consider the action much in the same way, giving it their tears and applause, as they happen to be moved, but the horror does not extend beyond the pre sentation, as it were. . Mr. Sickles is like an ac tor who has played bit part, and there an end. No punishment, legal or Social, is ' ia store for him. It will only be necessary for him to with draw from New York for a short time, as the New York public pretends to be rather nice about obedience to law; but after a short season of quarantine he will return, and resume his place ia Congress, society and public favor; that is to e ay, if be be not shot by Key's brother, as Key was shot by him, as the brother vows he shall be.

From the Dayleatown (Pa.) Democrat. A Hone With Hydrophobia, On Sunday, March 13th, Mr. Wm. CampbelL who lives in Springfield township, near Sprinir- town, lost a fine hone, who died of a malady tuppoted to be hydrophobia. On the morning of that day it. was first discovered that something was the matter with him by his strange behavior. He broke out of his own sta.lL and went into aa adjoining stall, and heavv marks were seen la the boards where ha had bitten them, Mr. Campbell thea called in some of his aeighbort to determine what was the matter with him, who thought him to U strangely held, and advised him to take the horse to a horse doc tor. He accordingly took him to Leonard Sei fert, who did not know the nature of his illness, as be had aetsr seen one held so before. He coslinaed to bite at everrthias thai eame with in his reach, bat neither kicked , not bit. He was thea taken - back ' and tied to a white oak trae and while fastened to it he bit the bask off as far as he could reach, aaj coTcrei it with blood. - " - r' j ; . . b he bad aa ofportanlty te arould bit lis own limbs, whteh were ia some place iraa. ed taw.

A String of Cnrioni Facts. - The difference between the skulls of the domestic bog and wild boar is as great as that be tween the European and negro skull. Domesticated animals that have subsequently run wild in tha forest, after a few generations lose all traces of their, domestication, and are physically different from their tame originals. It is not natural for a cow, any more than for other female animals, to give milk when she has no young to nourish. The permanent production of milk is a modified animal function, pro. duced by an artificial habit for several generations. In Columbia, the practice ot milking cows having been bud aside, the natural state of the function has been restored. The secretion of milk continues only during the sucking of the calf, and is only an occasional phenomenon. If the calf dies, the milk ceases to flow and it is only by keeping him with his dam by day, that an opportunity of obtaining milk from cows bf night can be found. Tha barking of dogs is aa acquired, hereditary instinct, supposed to have originated in an attempt to imitate the human voice. Wild dogs and domestic breeds which became wild never bark, but bowl. Cats,: which so disturb civilized communities by their midnight "caterwaul,'' in the wild state in South America are quite silent. . The hair of the negro is not wool, but curled and twisted hair. The distinction between hair and wool is clearly revealed by the microscope The dark races have less nervous sensibility than the whites. They are not subject to ner vous disease. They sleep soundly in every dis ease; nor does any mental disturbance keep them awake. , They bear chirurgical operations much better than the white people. ZIore Plant from China. ; A few weeks ago it was announced that ad vices had been received from Mr. Robert For tune, by the Commissioner of Patents, of the shipment of several oases of seeds and plants from China,, in December last, among which were those of the tea shrub, camphor tree, and yang-mac Information has just been received of another and new recent shipment. By a late report of the Commissioner : of Patents, we are informed that, in order to secure the safe propa gation ot the tea plants, preparatory to their re-removal to the sites where the experiments are ultimately to be made, a portion of the public grounds in the city of Washington has been set 1 apart, thoroughly' nnderdrained with tiles, and j a propagating house erected thereon, for the i germination of the seeds.1 In constructing this building, we are gratified to learn that special regard has been paid to its position with reference to the sun, size, proportions, admission of light, and the economy of beat. During the last three months, a temperature, of from 5 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit has been maintained in this bouse, produced without : the aid of fire, simp! by the decomposition of stalks of Chinese sugar cana and stable manure. The atmosphere re sulting from this mode; of heating, with the cooperation of moisture and light, has been emi nently beneficial to plants, as has been fully tested from the various seeds and cuttings, tropical and. others, which are rapidly growing, in a healthy state. :r:-" ; - ' -' 0f 9to0e FUIl LISII CD JJT AUTHOIIITY.
