[From the liOnilon Anit*ri<*aii ]
A Splendid Place for Lazy Men.
Ninety-nine years ago si* hundred
and eighty specimen* of the geuns
i homo were embarked on board of one
i of Her Brilauie Majesty's.brigs at the
| isla'nd of St. Vincent, the scat of gov
ernment for the English Windward Is
1 lands, and transported across the whole
width of the <Carribean Sea to Ruatan.
a small island then hut little known
except to the buccaneers.
1 The main land, the north coast of
Honduras, is from the island distant
about twenty-five miles, nnd the Span
ish planters soon learned of the suffer
ing people upon Ruatan, and gave them
employment upon their plantations
and this island, which was only a rest
ing place, and a final one to many of';
the fiSO, remained unoccupied for sixty
years or more, and now it has a popu- j
lation of about 1,500, but not a dcsccn- |
dant of that cargo of Cnribs brought
lYom St. Vincent in the British brig.
That race has expanded to near 15,000,!
and tlicv arc now found over about
three hundred miles of coast from tiie i
Cape Gragias a Dios westward to the'
port of Omoa, in the Gulf of Honduras. ;
And it is here with these people that !
every hater of work and believer in ,
the degradation of labor should immi
grate.
These Carlbs retain many of their
old customs, and the Mohammedan- 1
Mormon institution of polygamy is one. i
This peculiar institution carries with i
it the inferiority of woman as a neces
sary consequence, and the Cnribs be-:
lieve with Mr. Ruskin that labor is de
grading, which naturally leads them to
impose the greater burthen upon the
already degraded portion of commu
nity, the females. When a young lord i
of creation becomes too large to yield :
to the control of his mother, he takes
his canoe, and, hunting up a good lo
cation fora homo, proceeds to clear the j
trees from about an acre of ground,
and. building a cabin, is, In his own
estimation ami in tho opinion of the j
whole people, deserving of a wife,
which secured, lie is relieved by her
from further euro. She attends to the
garden, which produces tl.DUi ample
food, and also makes the shanty cloth
ing they require, or else by fishing, or
[lie gathering of sarsaparilla, which
irr>nra n'catlflltlV Ut til* fO ITMtf-. jMwI firv
which rendv market is found in the
United States—procures the means of i
purchasing cloth, which, of course, tlifid
degraded lnvlf convert* into ganiicnU-’!
The young lord of creation is thus
relieved from all labor until such lime
is he again shall tire of his slave wife,,
when he again take* his canoe and
aunts another situation, where he re
peats the clearing and building, and
when done he chooses another wife,1
who takes possession of this new home
ind divides the labor of entertaining
[he husband with the first wife. IV lien
liis lordship is tired again of liis inae-j
:ivity, this same labor of clearing and
Pome building is repeated, sometimes
[ill one man lias five or six wives upon
is many estates, usually so distant one
from the other that t&e various wives .
never see each other.
When the number of wives is sufli
rient for the ambition of the husband,
liis days of labor are ended, and his
life is spent in equal periods, with each,
ind he troubles himself not in the least
with the cares ol the family, or for his :
food, but his days can pass in that bliss- j
full state of indolence so landed by
many, but achieved-by few.
It is to this paradise for tho man en- j
nobled by a healthy disgust tor de
grading labor that we confidently re-;
commend all the lary to start, for the
starting is easy, but the journeying will j
not be found so, as it is one of the pe- j
cnliar results of this state of society
that the great advantages of modern
civilization do not extend to such peo
ple ; if cheap and rapid communication
extend to the Mohammedans, Mor
mons, or the Caribs of Honduras, it
will bo duo to the efforts of other pco
nlc not to the cncrsrv and enterprise
developed by that peculiar institution J
which condemns one-half of the race
to a state Worse than A frican Slavery.

Dear Baron Lngo, Minister of Austria
j to Mexico;
I am done with this world: my very
. last wishes ara in regard only to my
i mortal remains, which will soon lie
freed from all pain, and in regard to
! those who inu. t survive me. My phy
sician, Dr. Basel), will have mv bodv
brought to Vera Crux. He will bo ac
companied only by my two servants,
| Gall and Tndos.
1 have ordered that my body be tran
' sported, without any pomp or solemn
ity, to Vera Crux, and that on board
the vessel that is to bring it to Europe
no unusual ceremony'* take place. 1
i have awaited death calmly, and I wish
; to be left In the mime stillness while in 1
my eofTin.
Yon wiil take measures, my dear
Baron, so that Dr. Basel) and my two !
servants, who take mv body in care,
may accompany it to Europe on one of I
the t wo war Vessels. Over there I wish j
to be buried by my poor wife.
If the news of my poor wife's death j
should not prove true, mv body should |
be placed somewhere until the Em- j
press rejoin me in death. Have the j
goodness to see that the necessary or
ders are forwarded to Capt. Grocllcr. j
I Have also the goodness to take meas- \
' urcs so that the widow of my faithful ;
companion in arms, Miramou, can go i
to Europe on one of the war vessels. !
T reckon the more on (lie fulfillment ot
this request, ns she is charged to re-!
main with my mother at Vienna.
I again thank you from my heart for ,

special says: As an indication of the
President's latest temper on the situa
tion of reconstruction allairs, witness
the following abstract of his views, re
cently expressed in conversations with j
certain politicians who called upon him |
for the purpose of urging him to re
open registration in the South. Ho in- ,
formed them that he could not do so i
without increasing the certain risk of,
Impeachment, and admit that the-Be- I
construction act confers on District
Military Commanders sole control
over registration. His only power of
interference was in the removal of the j
commanders when they failed to exe
cute the law in accordance with his
views of their legal construction. He \
admitted that the District Commanders I
were acting under the direct authority 1
of Congress in the performance of a j
civil duty, aud if he should attempt to :
assume tho power of Comraander-in- i
Chief, to control the time of registra-;
tion and holding elections, they would |
have the right to refuse to obey his
orders, and would bo amenable to no
punishment for insubordination if they
did so. He stated that the recent pro
mulgation of the Amnesty Proclama
tion throws upon Congress the onus of
depriving legally qualified voters from
registering and voting, and he hoped
the Northern people would appreciate
1 it in that light. If any pardoned per
sons. he continued, attempted to regis
ter and are refnsed, the courts will be i
! open to them and they can compel tho ,
; military to allow them to register
; through the courts. If they do not do j
| so, he concluded, the fault of their dis
| franrhisemotit must rest with Congress,
, as he claimed to have done all he eouhl1
lo restore to them their rights.
-Galveston During the Pestilence.

the Great Plague. Some one writing I
from Galveston says:

With their drunken revelry. The white -
courtesans avo equally numerous and
1 rmpndent, and as they often travel in
fecks with their darker sisterhood of
sin, the scene presented is a strange one
indeed. Then cornea thn midnight
brawlers from the iatf taverhs, some
reeling along the sidewalk* and others
in carriages, the dhnaai rumbling of
