SORROWS OF WERT II SR.
Werther had love for Charlotte,
Stioh an words conld never ntter;
Would jon know how first he met her ?
She was cutting bread and butter.
Charlotte was a married lady,
And a moral man was Werther;
And, for all the woalth of Indies,
Would do nothing for to hurt her.
' Bo he sighed, and pined, and ogled,
And bin passion boiled and bubbled,
Till he blew his silly brains out,
And no more was by it troubled. -Charlotte
having seen his body
Borne before her on a shutter,
Like a well-conducted person,
Went on cutting bread and butter.
Thackeray.
GOLD AND ITS GOINGS.
From (he Christian Union.
The estimated amount of gold in existence
at the commencement of the Christian era
was $427,000,000. At the discovery of
America, in 14 '.:, this amount had diminished
to .$57,000,000. In NiOO the amount had
risen to $10."), 000, 000; in 1700 to f.Tl,OO0,
000; in 1800 to 1,12. .1,000,000. The Rus
sian mines, extending over one-third of the
surface of the globe, on parallel f() degrees
north latitude, were discovered in 1 Mill.
In 1843 the estimated amount of gold in
existence was $ 2, 000, 000, 030.
Next followed the discoveries in California,
February 0, 1.S4S, and in Australia, February
12, 1851, which added enormously to the gold
production. In 1853 the amount in existence
was computed at .$ 3,000, 000, 000, and in ISO'O
it was 4,000,000,000.
From the commencement of tho Christian
era to the discovery of America, it was esti
mated that gold had been taken from the
surface and mined to the amount of
$3,800,000,000. From that date to the close
of 1848, $2,800,000,000; to 1800, Russia adds
$740,000,000, and California and Australia
$2,000,000,000 more. The amount of gold
at present in existence is estimated at
$5,0(JO,000,000. The quantity of gold and
silver of all denominations, in all quarters of
the globe, is set down by the best authorities
at from 4:300,000,000 to 400,000,000, and the
quantity of plate and ornaments at about
$400,000,000.
In the reign of Darius gold was thirteen
times more valuable, weight for weight, than
silver. In the time of Plato it was twelve
times as valuable. In that of Julius C;esar
gold was only nine times more valuable,
owing, perhaps, to the enormous quantity of
gold seized by him in his wars. It is a
natural question to ask what became of the
gold and silver ?
A paper read before the Polytechnic Asso
ciation by Dr. Stephens, recently, is calcu
lated to meet this inquiry. He says of our
gold product full 15 per cent, is molted down
for manufacture; 35 per cent, goes to Europe;
25 per cent, to Cuba; 15 per cent, to Brazil;
5 per cent, direct to Japan, China, and the
Indies; leaving but 5 per cent, for circulation
in this country. Of that which goes to Cuba,
the West Indies, and Brazil, full 50 per cent,
finds its way to Europe, where, after deduct
ing a large percentage used in manufacturing,
four-fifths of the remainder is exported to
India. Here the transit of the precious
metal is at an end. Here the supply, how
ever vast, is absorbed, and never returns to
the civilized world.
A PAPAL "MIRACLhX"
Shortly after Easter an event occurred in
Rome which had but few witnesses, and has
since has been cautiously and timidly whis
pered through the streets. As it, however,
throws an interesting light on the state of
things in the Eternal City, and on the
""views of the Pope regarding his own person
and office, it deserves to be known in Ger
many. The scene is at Monte Mario, in
the neighborhood of Villa Melini. Lean
ing heavily on the arm of an attendant, the
Pope climbed the steep ascent, the imperso
nation of corporeal weakness and decrepitude.
Every road and path about Rome is continu
ally besieged by beggars. The blind, the halt,
and the sufferers from the terrible malaria
solicit everywhere the charity of the passer-by.
Among a troop of mendicants there was one
lame of both feet, who seemed to have a
particular claim to the compassion of the
benevolent. As his Holiness drew near, the
withered countenance of the beggar bright-
. ened up; he raised his hands, and every
feature seemed to say: "Master, have pity
on me!" Pope Pius went up to him, and
when we recollect his very decided penchant
for miracles, and his firm conviction that he
himself is a wonderful instrument of Divine
Providence, we can easily comprehend the
sequel. Profoundly agitated, he raised his
hand, and said to the infirm mendicant: "Arise,
take up thy bed and walk!" It is hardly
possible to form an idea of the effect pro
duced on the poor sufferer by these words
issuing from the mouth of infallibility. He
stood a moment as if electrified, and then
with sparkling eyes sprang up, and advanced
two or three paces. The countenance of the
Pope beamed with rapture, but in a few
seconds the seemingly-healed beggar fell
heavily to the ground. Like a soldier press
ing forward with desperate energy to the at
tack of an inexpugnable fortress, the Pontiff
cried a second time: "Arise and walk!' but
. when the patient sprang up again only to fall
down anew, the hands of the Pope trembled,
his voice became hoarse, and he repeated
the command a third time, -stammering. Yet
another convulsive effort, and the eyes of the
half -savage and filthy Lazarus revealed hor
ribly all his suffering and his disappointment.
The face of Pope Pius became deadly pale,
and he was borne, half-fainting, to his car
riage. In another moment the vehicle was
rolling away at a furious pace, while the un
fortunate mendicant lay writhing on the
street and groaning: "Madonna, Madonna!"
This anecdote is highly characteristic of Pius
IX. His self-assumed omnipotence and his
mania for personal infallibility are in him
riot policy but earnest conviction, though his
undoubting faith in himself has, no doubt,
been dexterously made subserviect to the
favorite policy of others." NorUi German,
Correspondent from Die Oartenlaube.
A FASHIONABLE DINNER PARTY IN
CHINA.
The dinner party is conducted with some
ceremony by the fashionable classes; the in
vitations are written on the finest paper, silk
or satin of bright color, the rank and title
of guests being punctiliously get forth; and
the same etiquette is observed in the placing
of the guests at the table on the right and
left of the entertainer, who can thn offer
them personally some of the dishes of the
feast. Sometimes the dinner is served with
small square tables to each guest, at other
times, at one large round table, and the din
ner is a la Jluse, as we should say, the .tahU,
being ornamented with porcelain vases'filled
with beautiful flowers, either real or artificial,
and other ornamental objects. When the
host wishes to show any marked attention, he
picks all the choice bits he can find from the
best dishes with his chopsticks, and place
t'ft tin Jwepi'i rl&te. Ia rttarn ox this
favor the guest endeavors to show his full
relish of the good things laid before him by
belching after each fresh dish he tastes.
A small cup of the fluent tea is always the
first thing served, and a tiny cup with a plate
and chop-sticks is placed before each person,
when the servants who are plainly dressed,
bring the first course of sharks -fin soup,
stewed sea-slugs (biche de iner), preserved
eggfl boiled hard and sliced, dried fish, meat
cooked in varioue succulent ways, and stewed
ducks. Many varieties of cookery follow,
and sometimes,' though rarely, the famous
bird s-nest soup of the Java or Sumatra swal
low, the costliness of this luxury placing it
beyond the reach of any but the wealthy. It
is, as most people know, the nest found in
the cliffs and rocks; and besides the great
difficulty and danger of procuring them, as
the samphire-gatherer pursues his perilous
trade, they require an immense amount of
careful preparation to render them fit for
cooking. Sweetmeats of every kind, gin
ger, almonds, oranges, leichees, pine
apples, guavas, bananas, poaches, are some
of the nicest served. A wine is drank, very
much of the color of pale sherry, and the
little cups are kept filled by the servants with
this wine, the chill being taken off, out of
small silver vessels shaped like an English
teakettle. The dining-room of a mandarin,
or any other wealthy gentleman's house, is
lurnisned with cbairs and teapoys, and a cen
tre table, with two large, massive arm-chairs;
the upper third of the walls is of open carved
wood work, filled up with oiled paper instead
of glass, the doorway being covered by a
screen or curtain of red cloth or silk, and at
the upper end is a raised dais, with a minia
ture table with a red cushion on each side of
it. The house always stands on a raised ter
race, and has two court yards at least, with a
verandah, in which hang many lanterns of
variegated colors, in silk, paper, and horn.
In the other court the sedan-chairs of the
family are kept, and the chair coolies are
always waiting there to answer any summons.
Temple Bar.
DICKENS AT HOME.
Appleton's Journal says: "Mr. Tranklin
Thip, a. Washington bookseller, who was
well acquainted with Dickens, published the
following extract from a diary which he kept
while in England last year, and which gives
some details of the home-life of the great
author:
"July 25, 1809. Went to Charing-cross
station at 10 '40, wet Dickens there (by ap
pointment), accompanied Mr. Dickens,
his daughter, sister-in-law, Miss Stone (sister
of Marcus Stone, the artist), J. M. Kent,
editor of the Hun, to Higham, by rail gen
tlemen walked up to Gad's Hill ladies sent
on in a carriage. On arrival (half past twelve),
commenced with 'cider cup,' which had pre
viously been ordered to be ready for us
delicious cooling drink cider, soda-water,
sherry, brandy, lemon-peel, sugar and
ice, Savored with an herb called burrage,
all judiciously mixed. Lunch at one o'clock,
completed by a liqueur which Dickens
said was 'peculiar to the house.' From two
to half-past five we were engaged in a large,
open meadow at the back of the house, in the
healthful and intellectual employment of
playing 'Aunt Sally,' and rolling balls on the
grass; at half-past three, interval for 'cool
brandy and water;' at half-past six o'clock we
dined young Charles Dickens and a still
younger Charles Dickens (making three gene
rations) having arrived in the meantime
dinner faultless, wines irreproachable; nine
to ten, billiards; ten to eleven, music in the
drawing-room; eleven, 'hot and rebellious
liquors,' delightfully compounded into
punches; twelve, to bed.
"The house is a charming old mansion, a
little modernized; the lawn exquisitely beau
tiful and illuminated by thousands of scarlet
geraniums; the estate is covered with thou
sands of magnificent old trees, and several
'cedars of Lebanon' I have never seen
equalled. In the midst of a small plantation,
across the road opposite the house, ap
proached by a tunnel from the lawn under
the turnpike road, is a French chalet, sent to
Dickens as a present in ninety-eight packing
cases ! Here Mr. Dickens does most of his
writing, where he can be perfectly quiet and
not disturbed by anybody. I need scarcely
say that the house is crowded with fine pic
tures, original sketches for bis books, choice
engravings, etc.; in fact, one might be
amused for a month in looking over the ob
jects of interest, which are numerous and
beautiful. There are magnificent speci
mens of Newfoundland dogs on the
grounds, such animals as Landsear would love
to paint. One of them, Bumble, seems to
be the favorite with Dickens. They are all
named after characters in Dickens' works.
Dickens at home seems to be pcrpetaally
jolly, and enters into the interests of games
with all the ardor of a boy. Physically (as
well as mentally) he is immensely strong,
having regained his wonted health and
strength. He is an immense walker, and
never seems to be fatigued. He breakfasts
at eight o'clock; immediately after answers
all the letters received that morning, writes
until one o'clock, lunches, walks twelve miles
(every day), dines at six, and passes the
evening entertaining his numerous friends.
He told me, when a boy, his father frequently
took him for a walk in the vioinity of Gad's
Hill, and he always had a desire to become,
some day, the owner of the house in which
he now resides."
Colored Men and the Doctorate. "Avery
College," Pittsburg an institution for co
lored students it appears, has the right to
confer degrees, and at Commencement last
week exercised it by making Senator Revels a
D. D., with three others, and Judge J. J.
Wright, of South Carolina, an LL. D. The
Pittsburg's Commercial reports the proceed
ings as follows:
In conferring the degree of D. D. upon
Senator Revels, Dr. Garnett said:
"Mr. Revels, Senator of the Umtad States
from the State of Mississippi: In behalf of
the trustees and faculty of this institution,
I have the honor to confer upon you the
degree of Doctor of Divinity. I remember
on one occasion I heard you say in the city
of New York that you considered the fact that
you were once a minister of the gospel as a
greater honor than any you had ever received.
For your love for your race, for yovu- honor
of the Holy Scriptures, and your faithf ulues
in preaching the everlasting gospel, I confer
upon you, in behalf of this iustitutiou, the
degree of Doctor of Divinity, and may God
biessyou." Applause.
In conferring the degree of Doctor of Laws
upon Judge Wright, Dr. Garnett said:
"Hon. J. J. Y right, Judge of the Supremo
Court of South Carolina, and formerly a
member of the bar of Pennsylvania: If I ha 1
no other reason for conferring upon you this
honorary degree, it would be siiUciuut to
know that any gentleman belonging to the
colored race had become a Judge of the Su
preme Court of South Carolina (applause),
a State famous for a great many things
which I have not time to mention. Bora
among these free hills, struggling up anion!,'
& fcuai Bjuny difficult:;:, uslUog faY'jxa,
but making your . way from an humble law
school to the Supreme Bench of the State of
South Carolina, we taW the pleasure of pro
nouncing upon you a degree which never ha
been pronounced upon a colored man on this
continent North, South, East, or West
that of Doctor of Laws." (Applause.)
An Indian Romance, Grace Greenwood
writes as follows: "At the fond Offioe, the
other day, Mr. Wilson, the Indian Commis
sioner, who has collected a remarkably curiom
and valuable cabinet and museum, showed us
a singular trophy of Indian warfare a head
dress of the most frightful and diabolical de
scription. It was composed of buffalo horns
and skin, adorned with wampum and tinsel,
and long, wild tufts of buffalo hair. De
pending from this was a tail of inordinate
length, also tinselled and tufted, with small
sleigh-bells running all the way down it.
This unique accoutremeut was once the pro
perty of Tall Bull, a Cheyenne chief, who
was killed in a fight with the U. S. 5th Ca
valry and their Pawnee auxiliaries under
General Carr, some time last summer.
When this chief, who was a gigantic
savage, saw that the day was lost, he
put his wife and child on a pony, and
sent them within our linen, telling them to
surrender to the whites. The Indian woman,
who was kindly received, said that when her
husband told her she must give herself up,
she urged him to go with her, but that he
covered his ears with his hands to shut out
her entreaties,and rushed back intojthe fight,
which was the last she ever saw of the la
mented Tall Bull. He was speedily killed,
and these are his remains. In this same en
gagement, another Cheyenne woman, young
and remarkably handsome, came dashing into
our ranks, with two children strapped to her
pony. But she did not come to surrender.
She came like a fighting fury, armed with a
long knife, with which she Btruck frantically
right and left. At last, Booing herself about
to be captured, she stabbed to the heart first
one child, then the other, then herself, and so
perished a Medea whom there is no Euri
pides to immortalize."
An Attack on Stratjsh. A Vienna paper
gives this account of a gross outrage on Herr
Strauss, the celebrated composer and director
of dance music:
"It appears that some Russian officers of
Warsaw, some of whom were of high rank,
came at midnight to the restaurant in the
'Swiss garden,' and asked for supper. The
proprietor told them it was too late, as all his
servants had gone to bed; but the offioers
created such a disturbance that at last he
went to wake the cook, and ordered him 'to
get the Bupper ready. They ate and drank
till one, aud then asked for music. The land
lord protested it would be quite impossible to
get any one to play, as the musicians were
scattered about in various parts of
the town. Upon this one of the
officers, who knew Herr Strauss per
sonally, sent him a letter asking him
to come to the restaurant immediately. The
astonished musician, recognizing the hand
writing of the deputy-director of the police,
dressed himself, and hurried to the spot, but
on learning from the officers that all they
wanted of him was a little music, he was na
turally much offended, and positively de
clined to play. 'Here,' cried one of the
officers, throwing him a hundred-rouble note,
'you will play for this, I know.' Strauss in
dignantly replied in the negative, upon
which the officer, enraged, struck him in the
face. A scuffle ensued, in which the unfor
tunate musician was knooked down, trodden
underfoot, and so belabored with blows that
he remained on the ground insensible. By
the last accounts he was still lying at his
house in a dangerous state."
