THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1864.
News of Literature.
It would appear. that Solomon spoke truth when
he said that there was nothing new under the sun.
Tennyson's famous "Charge of the Light Brigade"
owes much of its popularity to its metre and man
nerism. Except the sounds corresponding to the
reiterated "six hundred" (such as blundered, thun
dered, wondered,• and sundered), the rhymes are.
mean, and "Cannon to right of them," "to left of
them,":" front of them," are not rhymes at all.
Ini.tbe first stanza, as originally published, instead
of "'Charge for the guns Phe said," the lino ran,
"'Take the guns!' Nolan said." !We suppose that
as Nolan was only a subaltern, it was held, on se
cond thought, that his name was not worthy of be
ing preserved—had he been a General it might
have been different, perhaps. Even the metre
of Tennyson's lyric is not original. An English
'essay. writer, in a volume just published in London,.
by Strahan & Co., and entitled " Tangled Talk,"
quotes a verse from a ballad, "The Battelle of Agin
court," by Maisel Drayton, andlpublished inl62T,
which shows from what source the form of "The
Charge of the Light Brigade" was derived. It runs
thus :
"They now to fight are gone,
Armour on armour shone,
Drum now to drum did groan,
To hoar was wonder—
That, with the cries they make,
The very earth did shake, , , •
Trumpet to trumpet spake—
Thunder to thunder I" - - - -
This mention of Tennyson reminds us of a small
volume in blue and gold, written by Ruts *same'
Bridges, of this city, published by Lippincott ar,
Co., and entitled "Marble Isle, Legends of the,
Round Table, and other PoemS." Had the mis
cellaneous poems been omitted, we should have
this volume, much better than it is. The story
of "The Marble Isle," written in blank verie, is
almost painful to read. It describes a voyage, made
by a crew of "toughs" in. quest of wealth from
mines in a remote land—of the ship being frozen up,
"wedged in by icy walls "—of es6ape and a further
voyage—of arrival at a desolate place which they
called "Marble Island," and of the gradual death
of all by violence or famine, the last survivor wri
ting the account of what they suffered. Great pow
er is exhibited here, and much natural pathos, espe
cially in a little episode which tells how one rough
fellow, a blacksmith, found a single little flower
among the snow, how they all welcomed and
cherished it, and how a rude man wil
fully destroyed it, and very nearly. atoned _for
the act by death. The "Legends of the 'Round
Table" may. be read with pleasure and praise.
There aro fourteen, of which the first eight were
written and published in 1857-19, before the appear
rance 'of Tennyson's "Idylls of the King ;" two
more were composed, though not issued, before Ten
nyson's appeared, and the remaining four were
written since. Miss . Bridges got the idea of writing
these poems from her study of the old romance of
"Prince Arthur," the source from which other
poets have also largely drawn. Her development,
'in several of these •legends, of the character of.
Lanneelot, is very fine—it will bear-comparison'
with Tennyson's. Those familiar with !` Prince Arm
thin." will see, in the following lines, how literally,
yet with what spirit, Miss Bridges has rendered Sir
Ector's famous eulogium upon the flower of olden
British chivalry :
" Sir Ector spoke his requiem with tears :
. 1 Lie there, Sir Launcelot, head of Christian
knights,
That never vet was matched by earthly peer,
The courtliest lord that ever bore a shield,
The noblest friend that ever shared the salt,
The truest lover ever couch'd a spear !
Thou wort the gallantest that ever rode,—
The uoodliest person in the press of knights,—
• The kindest man to ladies in the hall,
The sternest to thy mortal foe in field !
,Lie there, Sir Launcelot, and in future days,
When man shall seek example for their sons, - -
- They shall but say, " Be brave as Launcelot was—'
Launcelot, who was the bravest, gentlest:,knight
In all King Arthur's court—in all the world !
Flower of chivalry, servant of his God 1" V "
It may be worth while to compare this with Leigh
Hunt's pazaPhrase of the Same passage, now in the
poem of "Corso and 'Emilia"—though we have a
strong impression that it fir c at formed part of "The
"Story of Rimini," which was roil-written, and hot im
proved, for the latest editions. It reads this :
"And, Corse, thou wert the oompietest knight,
That ever rode with banner to the fight;
And thou wart the most beautiful to see,
That ever came in press of chivalry ;
• And of a sinful man thou wart the best,
That ever for his friend put spear In rest ;.
• And thou wert the most meek and cordial, .
That ever among ladies ate in hall ;
And thou wort still, for all that bosom ,gored;
The kindest man that ever struck with. sword."'
We prefer Miss Bridges'“version to Mr. Hunt%
The Miscellaneous poems, occupying More than
half her little volume, are by no means equal to
those which we have so heartily commended. It is
obvious that moat of them were written when the
young lady was learning how to put Pegasus
through the manage. They have the usual fault of
juvenile versicles—they remind the reader of poetry
which he already knows. For example, the'opening
poem, "Past, Present, and Future,” was obviously
suggested, in thought and treatment, by the fair aus
thor , s famfijarity with the peculiar rhythm and re.
peating rhymes of E. A. Poe. We find, also, in this
part of the volume, traces of her great admiration of
Shelley, Keats, Byron, Longfellow, and Mrs.
Browning. It is almost impossible for young verse
writers to avoid such Involuntary imitation. As
for Miss Bridges, who is yet very young, she now
lute a wing sufficiently strong for a loftier and more
Sustained flight than she has yet attempted: She
must avoid the too common fault of writing, too
much. If her future fulfil the promise of her pre
sent productions, she will surely rank, one day,
among the most distinguished of our young poets.
From the same publishers we have a new novel,
"Ora, the Lost Wife,” by Bella Z. Spencer, also a
youthful lady, Whose husband, Colonel Spencer, is
fighting his country's battles. This is a story of
American soolety, and though some of. the Ines;
dents are on, the verge of the improbable, and one
or two of the characters act like people in a Melo
drama, the reader caziscarcely fail being interested
in the fiction. les. Spencer writes Unexceptiona
ble English, without the slightest straining for
effect. The action is partly in the South, hut the
greater portion of it is divided between 'Kew York
and Saratoga ; the season life in the latter place is
described with truth and spirit—hollow, foolish: life
_ .
that it is. The trials of the, heroine are related in
an effective manner, and, upon the whole, if 64 Ora , '
be her first book, AT.rs. Spencer may fairly expect,
with the care and thought indispensable for such an
end, to become popular as a novelist.
" Chin asia A. Reply to Longfellow's Theologian;
and other Poems,".by Orthos, is another of Lippin
cott's publications. The writer doe's not think that
Mr. Longfellow is sufficiently orthodox in his
Watch of the Theologian in , the Prelude and in the
Interlude preceding the tale of Torquemada 4 in his
Taleilbf a 'Wayside Inn," and reproves the poet,
in a. very courteous manner, neither feeble nor per
sonal,'for this deficiency. This occupies half the
vOltune ; in the other moiety are fourteen Miscel
laneous Poems, of rather more than average merit,
and six entitled= The Children's Panel, which are
better still. The author is patriotic as well as
poetical, and " The Old Banner .Grand" is a spirit
stirring song. Our favorite is the simple lyric,
"Sleeping and Waking," at once breathing truth
and pathos. ":The Snow Fort," in the Children's
Panel, is very good. " Orthos," as he calls himself,
need not have gone behind a pseudonyme. He evi
dently has a cultivated mind, and, at least, no small
taste for poetry.'
Very different from any of the preceding books is
an Bvo, pp. 716, published by Messrs. Ltppineott, en
titled " A:Comprehensive Medical Dlotionery,” by
Dr. 7. Thomas, author of the system of pronuncia
tion in Lippineott's Pronouncing Gazetteer of the
World. This new bookovhioh will be found avail.
able for reference by the •public at large, as well as
by the healing, profession, is, in fact, a condensed
Gyclopcedia, In which are given, besides a complete
list of the articles of the Materia Medica l the terms
and phrases, many thousands in number, made use
of in medicine and the kindred sciences, the sign!.
tication, etymology, and pronunciation of each term
being added. For example, suppose that a baby is
ordered.tO take senna tea, and the young mother,
.desiring to know something of the medicine, should
tarn to p. 500 in this book, she will find :
" Sim 6, sa-na.) The Phirmacoptelal
name (U. S. Ph.) for leaflets of Cassia acutifolta, C.
obirvala, and C. elongata. Senna is a prompt, sill
dent, and safe purgative, and is well adapted to
those affections in which a decided but not violent,
impression is desired." .
The itir,following the name Indicates that it .is
Latin or Latinized Greek, The various Latin
,
phrases, sentences, etc., which are used In medicine
and occur in the work are literally translated,
and, for the information of the unlearned, even'a'
sketch of the more :important elements and prin
ciplei of , the Latin' language . Is appended.' : This:
will facilitate the not only pro - per pronunciation but
the writing of prescriptions, on which lea separate
article in the Appendix. We notice,' also, that, in
the Table of Materia Modica, each .article is ar:,
ranged in the class to which it:belongs—the author!
mainly following Dr. G. B. Wood's system of classi--"
fication.,There are tablesof doses; of chemical syrn,.
bols, and of disputed pronunciations, and also the,
classification of diseases, accordingto the respective:,
nosologies of Drs. Cullen and Good. A. great deal . •
of labor and research has evidently 'been bestowed . ,
upon this volume, which the author modestly hopes
may become to less-advanced students what Dr.
Dunglison's "Medical Dictionary" IS for the physi
cian and the mote advanced students. The pub
lishers have bestOvied great pains on its mechanical
execution, besides their Investment of a large' sum
on its Production. They may 'rest nisenriid that all
will be amply repaid, for the book minuet tall; to Oz.
twin permanent value as a standard atillteiltY..,•
.Of "The Book of Days,r , now completed, edited
, Robert Chambers, and publisheci`byhim and his
hretner in Edinburgh, and by J. B. Lippincott & Oo:
(who are also reprinting Chambers' Encyclo-
Fedi& " as it appears), we have not left ourselves
space for saying much. The work, in two volumes
royal Sao., relates something worth knowing in con
nection with the twelve months and every day of the,
year—literally anecdote, biography, history, an.
tiquity, legendary lore, poetry, curiosities of Mora
tore, art, and oddities of human life and character.
Numerous fugitiveiand credited pieces are given.
There are over ,five hundred illustrations, showing

portraits, views, sketches, mine, medals; caries.-
tures, ancient castles and housOs, armorial bear
ings, old fashions, fats-similes of- autographs, and
many other subjeots. There are 1,686 pages in the
work, equal to' 6,744 pages of the ordinary 12mo.
size, and the Index would satisfy even the require
ments of Dr. S. A. Allibone,for it occuples.s4.pages
of small type, four columns on each page, and gives
(livid sixteen thousand referinces. Scarcely any iittb-:
ject can arise in conversation about: which "The
Book of Days" does not give some information, as
a family book, to interest, teach, and enterfain . all
sees. None at all approaches it, the great variety
of its subjects being truly surprising.
The Lady's Friend.
The first volume of this magazine, edited by
Henry Peterson, is completed by the publication of
the December number, which, _besides the .double
plate of Paris fashions and sundry wood-outs, con
tains a frontispiece and title-page on steel ; the lat.-
ter is neat and effective. The letter-press is va
rious in its degrees of merit—the best articles being
-." My Aunt Goldboater," by Mrs. Denison ; " From
the Same Stook,". by Frances Lee; and "Cousin
Caleb's Will," by Julia Gill. The poem, " Har
vest Memories" and_accompanying engraving are
from Once a Week, and should have' been credited
to that periodical. In magazines of this plass,
where the useful as well as the ornamental may be
advantageously blended, household and culinary
receipts are in plane—but they . should be adapted to
this country, and not seissorsed out of foreign cook
ery-books. Foreaample, in the instructions to cook"
a" Shoulder of Mutton en Epigramme," directions
are given to "take off the skin to the thickness of a
crown pieee," to out the meat "into pieces the,size:
Of a shillingi" and to add "two or three truffles
finely cut up." How can this-be done in an Ameri-'
can kitchen, • seeing 'that crown pieces, shillings,
and- truffles are not obtainable here 1.../te_a_t„. for
dressing chops, a sauce is directed to be made oat of
a pint of mushroom catsup, while the fact (more
the pity,) is that this, by far the best catsup in the

The. Charleroi journals relate the following in
stance of remarkable bravery and fortitude on the
part of a little boy only eight years old, the son of a
laborer named Malhaux, living at Farciennos (Bel
giam). One evening, three or four weeks since, he
was sent by hiamother to fetch a loaf from a baker's
on the opposite side of the railway. On his return,
when passing a level crossing about 150 paces from
the Farcienn es station, he saw a train approiching,
and in .his alarm stumbled and fell. He neverthe
less had the presence of mind to roll into the space
between the rails and lie still. •Unhappily, the
clearing iron naught his blense and dragged him'
along till the train stopped at the station, but the
wheels had meanwhile passed over one of his arms
and out it nearly oft When liberated,he exclaimed,
looking at his. mangled limb, "Pray, do not toll
mother !" and asked the bystanders .to fetch his
loaf. It was found neoessary to amputate the arm,
and, chloroform having been applied' without pro
ducing insensibility, he bore the operation with the
utmost courage, and only asked once or twice if the
surgeons would soon have done. His arm is now
healing, and the little fellow haS returned to school
as gay and cheerful as his companions.
The - following- account of an Irish princess is
given by the Times' correspondent -at Turin : A
.very important question has lately been decided
hero. It will be remembered that the late Prince of
Papua, a younger . brother of Ferdinand IL; mar
ried Miss Penelope Smith, an English, or rather, I
believe, an Irish lady. The marriage was not ac
knowledged by the family, and the prince and prin
cess left the country. On the deith of the Queen
Dowager Isabella, mother of Ferdinand-If- 4 .80M0
eriorts were made to mitigate the position' of the
royal pair, but the princess was never acknowledged
as such by the Bourbons. It was, however, decided
lately by the Suprothe Court of Justice in Naples
that she was entitled to her full rank, while her
children were legitimatized and placed by the Ita
lian law courts on the same footing with the other
descendants of the Bourbon family. , The Prince ofl-
Caput died about a year since, too early to witness
the justice done to his wife and children.

The Chirography of Grant and Lee.
A Richmond correspondent of the 4vannah Re
publican, referring to the late correspondence be
tween Gene. Grant . and Lee, in reference to the re
lief of our prisoners at the South, says :
The correspondence between General Lee and
General Grant is now before me, and I have been
much struck by, the handwriting of these two ablest
generals the war has brought ; forward on either
side. General Lee's handwritimi is bold and rather
stiff his letters being large, round, and very dis
tinct.. He bears heavily upon the pen—probably a
goose quill—and abbreviates many of his words,. as
-If writing were a labor to him. The following, is an
exact transcript of the first sentenoe in his letter to
General Grant : • •
.
• . ig GENSUAL.: 'lave read your letter of the 18th,

Comm'r of Exchange of Pris , rs on the part of.the
OonPrate States & the liontn E. M. Stanton Sep , y
of War Lt. (301.1Talford Asst. Comm , x of Exo. of
the T.J. States."
He does not, as you perceive, punctuate closely;
and nowhere in his letter does he write ontthe word
"and," but .invarlablyitises the abbreviation "&.,"
And yet he parties long enough' to dot all his "i's"
and cross all his "t's." All his letters are drawn
nearly straight up and down the paper; in other
words, they are:like himself, round, full, bold, and
upright, inclining neither to the right nor the left,
and standing firmly on their base, as if they dia•
dained all assistance. They are so clear and pre•-
• Ise, so round, and weighty; and distinct, that each
letter reminds one of a solid cannon ball, and each
word of a cluster of grapeshot,
General Grant's handwriting, on the contrary,
though not so bold and%distinot, nor the letters so
large and round and erect, is nevertheless very
legible and very striking. It is full of energy and
action, and his letters all incline to the right, and
follow one after another with a little space between
Ulm as if they represented an equal number, of his
brigades on a- rapid march' around Lee's right.
Among chlrographers .his hand would be called a'
running hand. The Words occupy much space from
left to right, and still they are very clear and legi.

isn't:trill Lee, abreviates less, and is equally care-

Men, full of tire and action, always in motion; and
always in a hurry.

The -Pirate Tallahassee.
THE STEAMER y.ONTGOEEERY ON A CHASE—AN
TRAORDINART Bt NNING ENGAGEMENT—MN:UPS
OP TBE REBEL BY NI.GIrc.
The Beaufort (N.o.).correspOndent of the Herald
writes on the Bth inst. as follows :
•
The United States steamer Montgomery is lying
outside-the bar, having arrived from sea this morn
-
in
She reports a most desperate chase and engage ,
mentwitn the pirate Tallahassee._
Yesterday morning, while cruising off the North
.Caroliaa, coast, she discovered a black smoke en
the horizon, and, supposing ft to prooeed from sonie
blockade:ranter,
.she steered in its direction. After
the chase had continued for. some time the hull of •
the stranger was plainly seen; but she suddenly
changed her course, and for two or three noarrher
movements were. very 'strange. But • the , Mont
gomery puisned•her with.the, utmost vigor .wher- '
ever,she went, and after a long time had so gained
on her as - to have her in fall view. She was a long
white ecrew steamer, schooner !load, with two
smokestacks, and answered the description of the
pirate Tallahassee; and no sooner, was this known
than the:, Montgomery's crew were wild with joy.
Shortly afterwards the rebel flag was visible, and a
war pennant was flying from her mainmast.
Everything was prepared' for aOtion, and at the
first dawn2of hope that' the guns of the Montgomery •
might reach her, 44 bang P they went, one after
another*butthe distatioe.was.too great, and they
'fell far short. The pirate displayed great cowardice,
and did her utmost to escape.-
The Montgomericontinued to tire from her.fore-'
castle gun, and the flyingg - Tallahassee Tor some time"
answered shot for shot. Had the Montgomery at
tempted to use her broadside guns, in bringing them
to bear she would have lost ground in the chase, and
thus all hopes of capture or destruction - would have
been lost. .
During this time three gunboats were in sight and
doing their utmost to • get up with the chase ; but
before dark one of them was lost to sight, one was
too far away to be made out, while the Lilian, a
very fast .steamer, had nearly come up with the
Montgifinery. She also, fired' at the rebel, but to
such disadvantage that the shots fell short. Daring
the afternoon the pirate was- in shore of the Mont
gomery, and her only chance of escape to sea .was
to cross the Montgomery's bowal but this she con
cluded was too dangerous an undertaking, and she
wisely decided to continue on her course until night
slionld give her an opportunity to.eicrape. Daring
the latter part of the chase the Tallahassee was far.
ahead; yet she was so pushed that she could not
turn to the right nor to the left without running
across the bows of either the Lilian or the Mont
gomery,,as she was between them. •
The two Union steamers 'were so- well managed' as
to compel the pirate to keep a direct course, and the
coast ran in such a direction that she would soon be
cut off by the land, and she was thus completely
caged. in. Had• not night come on it cannot be
doubted that her destruction would. have been
certain, ..- .
- -
But the sun want down, and at almost the very
moment when victory, would have crowned our arms
the black wings of night were spread over the pi
rate and shietded- her from harm. 'She was com
pletely `lost to view, and where she went no one
knows.
This desperate and exciting chase and extraordi
nary running engagement lasted from about ten
o'clock in the morning until dark. I am told that
it would be difficult to describe the scene produced
among pnrbrave bine jackets by the bitter (limp.
pointment which they were compelled to endure.
-Every man was eager for a close fight, and many
heartfelt remarks were made worthy of our bravest
and noblest men. And when the pirate Tallahassee
was unavoidably lost, because they could not turn
night into day, their feelings sought relief only in
tears. '
Some excellent shots were made by the rebel, and
I am told that; although she was flying from the
Montgomery, one passed directly over her. Two
shots from the Montgomery apparently threw the
spray on the decks of the now happy and extremely
fortunate pirate.
Admiral Porter is vigilant, and Is determined to
rid the seas of rebel craft, so far as lies in his power,
by sending out cruisers.
STIRRIEAR , B GREAT IrIOTORY.—AII • accoun ts, public and priirate, so far as_ we have seen, concur
in ascribing to Sheridan's individual influence and
exertions the turn of the tide at the battle of Cedar
Creek; which resulted in so glorious a victory Wear
arms. Private'. accounts represent that the • case
cannot be stated toe strongly, and that everything
was due to the opportune arrival and personal pre
sence of that one man, Gen. Sheridan.
The Army'and Navy Journal, of last week, touches
upon this point In the following remarks : _
It is related of Dania that, when the bloody
morning of Marengo had been already gained by
the Austrians, taking out his watch, he said : 'lt is
a battle lost; Mit it is not too late to win another.'
The brilliant advance of his division followed, with
the magnificent charge of Kellerman's cavalry, and
victory wrestedEfrom defeat crowned the banners of
the First Consul. Doubtless the familiar utterance
of Deutz recurred to many readers when the tidings
canoe of Sherida,n's.brilliant victory at Cedar Creek.
The circumstances, now so well known,,of Sheri
dan's felicitous arrival on the ti o ld, his prompt dis
positions to _cheek and turn the tide., of battle, and
his-final eacpeestin snatching viet&rout Of adverse
fortuneAattest the mighty power of personal,intlu
ence'in the - head of, an army. It is always more in
teresting to' trace the causes and consequences of
great historiCal events to a few prominent actors
therein, rather :than to mechanical or accidental
surroundings, or even to the combined efforts of
vast numbers of men. Sheridan's individual influ
ence upon the fate of the day at Cedar Creek be
comes one of its chief features of attraction, and so
will pass. into higtory. The glory of saving Marengo
Is claimed not only by the admirers orDesaix, but
by those also of Kellerman and Lannos. Massena,
by his 'defence of Genoa,. competes for the same
palm and no authority exists to 'show that
even i llarmont, always then under a. cloud, was; by
the skilful handling of his artillery, the true hero of
Marengo.' And, after all, Napoleon was the man
to whom the glory,belongs. In Sheridan's battle,
the real credit of the performance, so far as officers,
and• not. men in the ranks, can claim it, is chiefly.
concentrated on himself, and his subordinates will
hardly seek to seize it, to divide it among them
selves."
A-WONAN SEES e GUOST^THB REM:MT.—Yes
terday morning the woman, Mary Heifran, who fell
overboaid on " Saturday with her..child, was before
Justice:Parsons.. Her ease:is a singular one. She
imagines that she is haunted by the ghost'of agirl

since. She says that on election night, while alone in
her house on Clinton street with her child, the ghost
of the girl appeared to her, and 'she became greatly
alarmed. Fier husband, who is a hand on one of John
Taylor's barges,
; was absent in New York. When
he returned she told him about the visitation of the
ghost. - -He laughed at the idea, but she talked seri
ous about it. . On Saturday afternoon, when he was
absut to leave on the boat again, she visited the
dock. •The boat was just swinging out. She asked
her husband to stay home with her and protect her
from the ghosts or else she would accompany
him to 'New S 0rk.... He advised her to stay at

her chiltd, she fell overboard. Her husband proceed

and'shelvent, to 'another. The family with whom
she stopped was i annoyed all night •by the strange
freaks of , this woman, who continually imagined
that , the,ghost of:the drowned girl was before her.
On Sunday night she was so carried away with the,
thought of the.ghost of the drowned girl that she
threatened to drown herself, and it was for her bet
ter protection that she was taken charge of and
sent to jail. The unfortunate woman tried to drive

Soars attention was attracted last Saturday after
noon by the appearance on Westminster and Broad

American flag, and the cortege was flanked,. .on
either sidewalk, by quite a number of.spectators.
The explanation of the. affair was as follows: Mr.
O. B. Vaughan and Mr. D. Bartelle laid a wager on
the result of the election, If McOlellan carried the
election. Bartelie was to wheel a negro dowd West
mbaster street to. the Bridge, and back up Broad

pies are made. - -Upon the subject of =incept° the
proprietor, a Kr. Hopkins, is peculiarly sensitive.:
He hates, in his honesty of purpose, to hear the tra,...
.ditional references to red flannel, brown paper,.
dogs, oats, horse flesh, roaches, etc., for he takes ton
'much pains to pick out all such extraneous matter
to be made the object of suspicion. As to the mug •
altude of this bakerls operations; It
I nlay .be, stated
that his weekly manufacturings 'use tip, SO barrels of
f10ur,3,000 pounds of beef, 8,590 pounds of lard, 3,000
pounds' of sugar, 2,400 quarts of milk, and apples,,
peathes, plums; and pumpkins past counting. His'
ovens bake 150 pies at once, and, wow:tonally, 48..
'overlainl have been baked in a day. From this pro 4
lino. source the restaurants, saloons, hotels, board
ltg houses, and street-stalls receive their supplies
of the material that makes more stomachs ache than
all the vile , stuff the druggists sell, and furnishes
dyspepsia doctors the most lucrative branch of their
practice. •
But though Hopkins is so sensitive on the subject •
of mines-pies, there were thariiiiaciturers of the same.,
comestibles in France who were not so sensitive on •
the subject of human pies. The Paris•Siecle,
ing of the improvements now mekinrin Paris, tells
this story: "At the .angle of the Hues des Mar. ,
mounts and des. Derti-Ermites, which are both con
dimmed to disappear;` may be' scwiß in the wall a• •
sculptured stone, partially obliterated by time, but
which _still bears some traces, of„lihe former. de..
sign—namely, a' dog represented in`sbas.reilef,' in;
the place of a__poreelain • dog fixed , there • during?
the reign of Henry 'II. to commemorate am act,
of instinct accomplished by one of those . faith—
ful- animals; - At No:2 in that street , lived; - in act;
-joining shops, a barber and a • pastry-cook. ' A
stranger having one day entered .the shop of the
former to get shaved was never seen to leave it.
His . family, being uneasy at his disappearmice,.
had him sought, for, and a friend,' accompanied.by
the dog of the missing man and a sergeant of the
watch, searehed , all over Paris. Asth- a. seekers
were at length passing before this house in the Rue
des Deux•Ermites, the dog began to scent about him
with an uneasy air. It next rushed into the barber's .
shop and commended scratching on the shop floor
with such persistence that it led to the discovery of '
a trapdoor over a cellar, ,which still exists, and'
where the body of the man Nitta found cut into pieces..
The barber, says the story, had made a bargain
with his neighbor, whose pies, made of Kaman flesh,
had acquired a great celebrity, so that when a
stranger came to get shaved he was placed- on the
trap, and, a. spring being touched, he fell into the
cellar below, where ho was despatched by the
pastry•cook, if not killed by the fall. , The two
murderers were - broken on the wheel, and their
houses razed to, the ground.,,
' THE MORMONS ALL, REBELe—tvnint POWER
BREAKING Doww.—The readers of The Press re
collect the refusal of Brigham Young to relinquish
the post of Governor of.-Utah, the march of colonel
(afterwarda rebel General) Johnson; and the +treaty
with Young. But this treaty bound none but those
who made it, and in October, 1802, Gem Connor,
witha.brigade ' was sent to. Utah, 'making no trea
titu4ennforoed the commands of our Government in
17 and beat the Indians on the Bear river, ' thus
ope g the gold .regions of -Idaho and. Montana,
and camped his army on a plateau overlooking Salt
Lake. City, where his artillery could make the adobb
houses a mass of pottery at any,provooation. When
he first - entered the city; the prophets, little - and
large, declared he could never pass the Jordan, a,
small stream floWing: into Salt Lake at their city.
They said that Brigham had power from God to
stop the .whole command, and make further ap
proach fatal. But, heedless of all these and other
means used to stop him, with flags flying and drums
beating, his command crossed ,the Jordan, entered•
the city, and the heavens did not fall. Since then he
has kept them in perfecksubjection: They hate him
for it, and if money could move, or tho earth and
heaven, they would move them to laavehim removed.
They are Call rebels. Their current, open preaching
has been treason for some time. Heber Kirithall has
announced again- and again to the vast audiences in
the Bowery that the "United States are no more."
On the authority of God; in a prophecy of Joseph
Smith, he has assured the Mormons that thelcforth
and South would annihilate each other, and they
should-take possession of the country ; "and," said
the impure vagabonds and ruffians, "what will you
do with the wives and' daughters whom they leave I
What I Why put them to raising children !" This
was said in the presence of. Governor Hardinhim
sell,Prho was seated on the platform near Bri g- gham•
atithe meeting. And an old fanatic and savage, whose
pronunciation showed- his foreign origin, cries out,
with joy at this annunciation of the destiny of our
American women to Mormon polygamy, "Ha-meal"
But Gem Connor's chief hope of disarming the
Mormon opposition to his government is in the
mines, of which the • adjacent mountains are full.
There' is one blast furnace already in operation ,it
saw-mill building.to make lumber for more, and he
hopes in a year or two to bring in'a population of
fifty thousand miners, so that the political power
will pass into the hands of loyal citizens, and from
that hour the Supremacy Of Mormon priests must
fall, as nothing bu t the most terrible and stringent
despotism can keep the Mormon masses in subjeo•
tion to their;stupid E mbadiess, and senseless super
stition.

NEN T:-A geologist, Professor Blake, haadiscovered
a number of unique fossil shells embedded in argil-,
laceons mislay elate, In Bear Valley, Mariposa
county, California: These curious relics of a by.
gone era in the hilitory nf, California are Peculiarly
interesting, as being the very first found in the gold
bearing rooks on Its coast, the slate from which*
theriv ere taken forming the wall rock of the famous
Pine Tree vein in that valley. These shells, it is
believed, are of marine origin, and. of the orator.
Coons era. If so, they fix the era of the origin of the
gold.bearing quarti veins, a subject of much interest
to geological science. The question will doubtless
be settled in a few months, as the Professor intends
to forward these shells to New York, for the exami
nation of the Most famous paleontologists in the
nation.
Another scientific gentleman, who has visited the;
• regions • around :Esmeralda and Walker's river, in
the same State; reports that he has discovered a
number of bones and teeth of the clephas
genus, or fossil elephant, in excellent preservation,
embedded in cement on the -banks of the river.
And on a hill of gravelly cement, not far from Au
rora, ho found large numbers of petrified teeth of
the fossil horse embedded in the hard cement. This.
is another interesting discovery, as' it was; until'
quite recently, supposed that the horse had never
existed on the American continent till it was intro
duced, in the fifteenth century, by the Spaniards.

The market appears to bela.psing into another of its
periodic stages of ecumenist: the immediate occasion be
ing , in this instance, the uncertainty as to what rasa.-
sures may be suggested by Secretary Fessenden in his
forthcoming report, or 'adopted by Congress for the fu
ture regulation of the finances. It Is generally con
ceded that the legal-tender issues will be curtailed;
that taxation will be largely increased;" that gold-bear
ing loins will be discarded. As sown as the policy is
Axed there will be shown an improvement. * The notes
made legal-tender for their face will, by the addition of
accumulated interest, soon pass into the hands of capl 2
talists, and cease to derange .the currency. With this
expansive element withdrawn, the future is compara
tively secure. The amount of United States notes. (le
gal. tenders). is $400,000,000, and upon these would
be thrown the whole task of redeeming all the obliga
tions of the country, as well as performing the office
of currency. A moderate proportion of these notes
-funded - and :destroyed would force a curtailment of
currency, and a consequent reduction in prices The
-
mass of the people are now ready for a new loan,aad the
sooner it Is upon theriarket the better. Now Is the time
to borrow,.and to keep the Government steadily in the
market ass borrower. - IL Washington correspondent of
:the New Y ork says Mr. Vessenden must have
more money—not less than one hundred millions by the
first of January. The only point which he has decided is
that under no circumstances will he hie/ease the amount
of legal -tendernotes in circulation.. * * * * Ills
chief aim this qinter will be to sustain the valite of the
currency, and to obtain what money is needed to prose
cute the war: Ciingress will be called upon for more
legislation - A vigorous attempt will be made to bring
down. the premium upon coin to at least 200,- and a new,
'description of bond will be issued in the course of the
winter;.'

In reference to- the market for American securities;
abroad, Satterthwitite'a I,ondoxi Circuktr says:
The tendency of the market in tondon for American
secutities has been. drooping since Our 'last. i e d, uo ,,d . .
partly
_by the advance of the premium on gold 'reported.
from New York, and partly from the flatness of coati •
mental markets. There has, however, been- bo me good
buying of Illinois shares,
the large receipts 01 this coin
pany for scme lime past,. and especially the return. jast
received for September. -sho wing a cash receipt from
ti attic and land aales of over 81,000,003. leading to the
belief that a good dividend will be declared in January.
United States 6-26 bonds have given way 1 per cent . but
remain firm at the decline. few, if any shipments hay
ing teen recently been made from America
The Confederate loan was weak in the London mar
ket on the morning of the 27th ult., tee first price being!
618463; but on tbe news of another advance in the pre
mium on gold, and tbe report of the recapture of At
lanta, a rally occurred at 83@t30. •
-
The New York,Post t op ics says: •
The most important in Wall street this morning::
is tbe gratifying. advance in all descriptions of Govern
ment bonds. This is attributed in part to the rapid de
cadence of the rebelli luc r ativen part to the increased
dernantkfor these safe securities by investors
in all parts of the country_
Gold opened at 240, and gradually fell on Tamers of
peace propositions and of army movements to 213,
closing at 233.4. The loan market is unchanged. A
number of •Tper cent. loans were paid off to-day Com
mercial paper Is quiet at 73010 per cent. The stuck
