r down James River a day or two later. I remember, too, that as the boat left the shouting thousands on the shore and swept out into the stream our glee club burst into the rollicking stanzas of Mynheer von Dunck --a song as good in verse and in music as it is bad in morals: Mynheer von Dunck, Though he never got drunk, Sipped brandy and water gaily; And he quenched his thirst With two quarts of the first To a pint of the latter, daily. Water well mingled with spirit, good store, No Hollander dreams of scorning; But of water alone he drinks no more Than the rose supplies When the dew drop lies On its bloom of a summer morning- For a Dutchman's draft should potent be, Though deep as the rolling Zuyder Zee. And as we steamed out of hearing of the pier the stout voices of the singers were publishing, with metrical and musical elaboration, the somewhat shady proposition that- A pretty girl who gets a kiss and runs and tells her mother, Does what she should not do and don'

Among other things a Mr. Louaillier published a denunciatory newspaper article. General Jackson arrested him. A lawyer by the name of Morel procured the United States Judge Hall to order a writ of habeas corpus to relieve Mr. Louaillier. General Jackson arrested both the lawyer and the judge.

When the officer undertook to serve the writ of habeas corpus General Jackson took it from him, and sent him away with a copy.

rles Zagonyi, a Hungarian, Zagonyi had been a soldier in his native land, under General Bem. He came to America as an exile. Offering his services to Fremont at St. Louis, he was charged with the duty of recruiting a body of cavalry as a body-guard for the General. He selected for this purpose young men, and formed them into three companies, one of which were nearly all Kentuckians. There were very few foreigners in the guard, and all the officers were Americans excepting three, one Hollander and two Hungarians, the latter being Major Zagonyi and Lieutenant Majthenyi. The Guard was mounted on well-equipped blooded bay horses. Each man was armed with two of Colt's six-barrel navy revolvers, one five-barrel rifle, and a saber. had arrived there on the 16th, October. after encountering a severe rain storm.

But, just as it appeared to be at its end, it received new life. Another Hollander, by the name of Peter Menewe, sometimes called Menuet, made his appearance in Sweden. He had been in the service of Holland in America, where he became involved in difficulties with the officers of their West India Company, in consequence of w Griffin. He gave out to the Hollander, Mr. Van der Nederhorst, the agent of the West India Company in the South River, that he was on a voyage to the West India Islands, and that he was staying there to take in wood and water. Whereupon said Hollander allowed him to go free. But, some time after, some of our people going thither found him still there, and he had planted a garden, and the plants were growing in it. In astonishment we asked the reasons for such procedure, and if he intended t

int bearing date 1637. The book is in an excellent state of preservation, the printing perfectly legible, the binding sound and substantial, and the fastening a brass clasp. The following receipt shows how the volume came in Mr. Jallonack's possession:— New York, Aug. 21, 1862. Received of Mr. H. Jallonack $150 for a copy of one of the first Protestant Bibles published in the Netherlands, 1637, with the proclamation of the King of the Netherlands. This was taken from a descendant Hollander at the battle before Richmond, in the rebel service, by a private of the Irish Brigade. Joseph Heime, M. D., 4 Houston Street. Semmes, in his long piratical career, scarcely equalled these doings of Mr. Seward's countrymen. He certainly did not send any stolen Bibles, published in the Netherlands or elsewhere, to the Deerhound, to be sold to pious Jallonacks for $150 apiece. But to return to Mr. Lancaster, and the gross assault that was made upon him, by the Secretary of State.

A deputation of the 1642 river chieftains hastened to express their sorrow, and deplore the alternate, never-ending libations of blood.

s with nine bottles of liquor under their belts must have been in a state to break everything about them, even their necks. Shakespeare makes Iago say that "your Englishmen is the most potent in poting; your Dane, your German, your swagbellied Hollander are nothing to your English. He drinks you with facility your Dane dead drunk; he sweats not to over throw your Almain, and he gives your Hollander a vomit ere the next bottle can be filled. Oh, sweet England." But England is a two-penny mug Hollander a vomit ere the next bottle can be filled. Oh, sweet England." But England is a two-penny mug to your genuine American, according to the hotel bills. When the Prince of Wales was at Albany, with a retinue of thirty persons, his bill at Congress Hall for two days was two hundred and fifty dollars, including sixty dollars given to servants. How moderate in comparison with the traveling party of the President elect!--Mr. Lincoln being a rigid temperance man, the keepers of the Delavan have probably taken their revenge upon him in this manner.
