He then emptied It, allowing any one to Inspect who chose. This being done, he desired one of the party to fill it up. Still when he reversed the jar not a drop of water Bowed, and upon turning it, to our as tonishment, it was empty. These, and deeeptions, were several times repeated; and, although any of us that chose were allowed to upset the vessel when full, which he did many tunes, upon reversing it no water was to be seen, and yet no appearance of any havin escaped. I examined the Jar carefully when empty, but detected nothing. I was allowed to retain and fill it myself, still, upon taking It up, all was void within; so that how the water had disappeared and where it had been conveyed were problems that none of us were able teex pound. Tile vessel employed by the juggler upon this oc casion was the common earthenware of the country, very roughly made; and in order to convince us that it had not been specially mule for the purpiise of aiding his clever deceptions he. permit• ted it to he broken in our presence. The fragments were then handed round for our inspection. A large basket was produced hi which was put a lean hun gry parish slut. After a lapse of about a minute the basket was removed and she appeared with a litter of little pup pies. These were again covered, and on raising the magic basket a goat was presented to our view. 'Phis was suc ceeded by apill in the full vigor of its existence, but which, after being cov ered for the usual time, appeared with Its throat cut. It was, however, soon restored to life under the tnystical shake of the wicker covering.' What, rendered these sudden changes so extraordinary. Was, that 110 elle stood near the basket but the juggler, who raised and coveted the animals with it. When he concluded his exploits there was nothing to he seen under it, and what became of the different animals which figured in this singulardeception, was a question which puzzled all. A man now took a small bag of brass balls which he threw one by one, into the open air to the number of thirty-five. Noneof them appeared to return. When he had discharged the last there was a pause for at least a Minute. He then made a variety of motions with his hands, and at tile same time grunted forth a sort of barbarous chant. In a few seconds the balls were seen to fall oue by one until the whole were re placed in the bag ; this was repeated at least half a dozen times. No one was allowed to come under him while this iuleresting juggle was performed. A gaunt looking Hindoo then stepped forward and declared that he would swallow a snake; opening a box he pro duced a copra di capello not less than five feet long and as big as an infant's wrist. lie stood apart at some distance from us, and like his predecessors, would not allow any one to approach him, so that the deception appeared no longer equivocal. He then, as it appeared to us, took the snake and putting his tail In his mouth, gradually lowered it into his stomach, until nothing but its head appeared to project between his lips, when, with a sudden gulph, he seemed to complete the disgusting process of deglutiou and to secure the odious rep tile within his body. After the expira tion of a few seconds, he opened his mouth and gradually drew forth the snake, which lie replaced in the box. The next thing that engaged our at tenticm was a featof dexterity altogether astonishing. An elderly woman, the upper part of whose body was en tirely uncovered, presented himself to our notice, and taking a bamboo twenty feet long, placed it upright upon a flat stone, and without any other support, climbed it with surprising agility. Hav ing done this, she stood up with one foot 1111 the top of the bamboo, balancing it all the while. Round her. waist she had a girdle to which was fastened au iron socket. Springing from her up right position on the bamboo she threw herself horizontally forward with such exact precision that the top of the pole entered the socket of her iron zone, and in this position she spun himself round with a velocity that made me giddy to look al, the bamboo appearing all the while an ifsupported by some supernatur al agency. She turned her legs backwards until her heels touched her shoulders, and grasping lier ankles in her hands, continued her rotations so rapidly that the outline of her body was lost to the eye, and she looked like a revolving ball. Iltving performed other feats equally mord to ary , she slid , 100 tl the elas,le shaft, and raising it in theair, balanced it on her hip, and finally pro jected it w a iiistaliCi• :row her without the application of her hands. 'Phe next performer spread upon the ground a cloth about the size of a sheet:. After a while it seemed gradually raised, and upon taking it op there appeared three pineapples growing under it, which were cut, and presented to the speeta• tars. This is considered a common juggle, and yet it is perfectly inexplica ble. Inaction of Leading Southerners A correspondent of the New York TiMC'S, writing from Georgia, gives the following about leading Southerners:— "The prominent men of Georgia—l mean those who possess in the highest degree the confidence and respect of the masses—take no part in thecoming elec tion, and do not say do anything for or against the Convention. Mr. Alex (l.) ander H.

The Friend in Need. The most useful and reliable friend that a man can have is a good trade. This remark is applicable not only to those who are habitually employed in manual labor, but also to those who have reached more enviable positions in business life. Every day there are instances of men slipping from high rounds to the lowest one in the ladder of wealth. Business men find them selves engulphed in the sea of financial embarrassment,from whichthey emerg with nothing but their personal re e - i-ources to depend upon for a living. Clerks, salesmen and others find them selves thrown out of employment, with no prospect of speedily obtaining places which they are competent to fill and uo other means of gaining a livelihood. How many men there are in this city to-day liable to be reduced to the lowest pecuniary points, at some stage of their lives, and it Is hardly necessary to refer to the large proportion of men who reach that point. No man is poor who is master of a trade. It Is a kind of capital that defies the storm of finan cial reverse, and that clings to a man when all else has been swept away. It consoles him in the hour of adversity with the assurance that, let whatever may befall him he need have no fear for the support of himself and family. Unfortunately, a silly notion, the off spring of a sham aristocracy, has of late years led many parents to regard a trade us something disrepu table, with which their children should not lie tainted. Labor dlsre. potable! What would the world be without It? It is the very power that moves the world. A power higher than the throne of day, some whom have families dependent upon them for sup• port, who bewail the mistake they made in not learning useful trades In their younger days. There are hundreds of them. There are men who have seen better drys, men of education and busi ness ability, who envy the mechanic who has a support for himself and family in his handicraft. Parents make ! a great mistake when they Impose upon the brain of their boy the task of support ing him, without preparing his hands for emergencies. No mutter how favorable a boy's circumstances may lie, he shou hi enter the battle of life us every prudent general enters the battle of armies— with a reliable reserve to fall buck upon In the case of disaster. Every man's aristocracy has ennobled labor, and he who would disparage it must set him self above the Divine principle, " In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread." A trade is a " friend in teed ;" it is independence and wealthl—a rich legacy which the poorest father may leave to his 5011, and which the richest should regard as more valuable than gold.—Exchangc. Lord Eldon The chancellor was sitting in his study over a table of papers, when a young and lovely girl—slightly rustic in her attire, slightly embarrassed by the novelty of her position, but thoroughly in command of her wits—entered the room and walked up to the lawyer's chair. " My dear," said the chancellor, rising and bowing with old world courtesy, " who are you ?" " Lord Eldon,'' answered the blush ing maiden, " I am Bessie Bridge, of Woebly, the daughter of the Vicar of Woebly, and papa has sent me to re mind you of a promise which you made him when I was a little baby, and you were a guest in his house ou the occa sion of your first election as member of Parliament for Woebly." "A promise, my dear young lady ?" interposed the chancellor, trying to re call how he had pledged himself. " Yes, Lord .Eldon, a promise. You were standing over my cradle when pa pa said to you : Mr. Scott, promise me that if ever you are lord chancellor, when my little girl is a poor clergy man's wife, you will give her husband a living ;" and you answered, " Mr. Bridge, my promise is not worth half a crown, but I give it to you, wishing it were worth more." Enthusiastically the chancellor ex claimed : "You are quite right, I admit the ob ligation. I remember all about it;" and then, after a pause, archly surveying the damsel, whose graces were the re verse of matronly, he added: "But surely the time for keeping my promise has not yet arrived? You cannot be anybody's wife at present?" For a few seconds Be.sie hesitated for an answer, and then, with a blush and a ripple of silver laughter, she replied : No ; but I do wish to be somebody's wife. lam engaged to a young clergy man ; and there's a living in Hereford shire, near my old home, that has re cently fallen vacant, and if you'll give it to Alfred, why, then, Lord Eld,n, we shall marry before the end of the year. Is there need to say that the chance for forthwith summoned his secretary, and the secretary forthwith made out the presentation to Bessie's lover, and, that having given the chancellor a kiss of gratitude, Bessie made good speed back to Herefordshire, hugging the precious document the whole way home? The Democratic Emblem--•" le Rooster A correspondent of the Qhio Slctics• man inquires why the Rooster is used by the Democracy as au emblem of victory. That paper replies: "Because the game Rooster is the gamest bird, when encroached upon by his fellows, that ever existed, and the Democracy is the gamest party that ever voted at an election or resented oppres sion. Both the party audits emblem, when they go into the light, make it a matter of file and death. Both may be whipped, but not conquered, fcr giving up, when once in the light, is a word unknown to the practice of the Rooster and is net found in the Democratic vo• cabulary." The following historical incident in duced the adoption of the emblem : During the war of 181.2 the British fleet on Lake Champlain was attacked by the American fleet under Commo dore McDonough. The fleet of Mc- Donough, much inferior to that of the English, suffered terribly in the first ' part of the battle. At the moment when it waS raging fiercest—the heavi est ti re of the enemy was directedagainst the flagship of McDonough—his men driven from their guns by the fierce cannonade, and dismay sat upon every countenance. and the storm of iron hail, which seemed to threaten destruction not only to the ship but to every living soul therein, was at its height, a cannon ball struck a chicken coop and knocked it to pieces, killing all it contained but a moment before, save only a game Rooster, whose battered comb bore the marks of many a death fight. Flying upon the bulwarks of McDonough's flagship, the noble bird, undaunted by the noise and confusion and carnage around him, with clarion voice rang out his notes of defiance and victory. Sailors are ever superstitious, and when, in the pause of the thunder of the enemy's cannon, they heard the shrill " cock-a doodle-doo," of the un daunted bird, they gathered new courage, and repairing again to their guns, returned anew the fire of the enemy, cheered by the loud crow of the brave emblem of the Democracy, until the battle ended and MeDonough, on Lake Champlain, like the Democracy in Ohio and Pennsylvania was victori ous over the enemies of the country. Every naval historian makes mention of the fact, and history says that the bravery shown on that'occasion by the rooster was the cause of the victory, by the renewed courage it gave the sailors in McDonough's fleet. From that day to this, in political contests, the Rooster has been the Dem ocratic emblem of victory, and when it is seen, in the act of sending forth its "cock-a-doodle-doo," at the head of a Democratic newspaper, it is right to say the country is safe, for the victory is with the Democracy. A We Insurance Case ATTEMPTED FRAUD-A SINGULAR A curious life insurance case was tried in Philadelphia, before Judge Share wood last week. One Elias Charles Richards, in the Summer of 186.5, ob tained a policy of insurance for $lO,OOO in the American Life Insurance Com pany; of Philadelphia. Subsequently the policy was assigned to Edward S. Connor, and by him suit was brought against the company for the recovery of the entire amount of $lO,OOO. The plaintiff alleges that Richards was drowned on the evening of September 15, 1865, in the Susquehanna river, near Perryville. The defendants denied this, and maintained that the man is now alive. The testimony adduced on the trial exhibited a series of circumstances and maneuvers of the most interesting char acter. No starting point could be found for the man Richards. He came from nowhere, belonged nowhere, had .no family, no relatives, no friends, no busi ness, no money—a regular " Topsy " of the masculine gender. He was picked up by the agent, who insured him some where in Philadeldhia—he couldn't tell where—taken down to Maryland, and there the papers were made out and in surance effected to the extent of $20,000, $lO,OOO being in the Charter Oak. This was in Tune. Richards stayed in that neighborhood a few days, went away, and returned again in the night of the 11th of September. On the two previous occasions lie wore a broadcloth suit and curried a gold watch. On his last visit lie had linen clothing much worn, straw hat, old shoes, with 110 111011ey, 110 watch nor.iuggage of any kind. He had bar gained for a farm, and through the same agent who Insured him he succeeded in obtaining $2,000 on his policies of $2O,- 000 of Mr. Connor. One thousand dol lars of this money he paid to the agent, and received a bond for a deed. On the evening of the 15th of Sep tetnber this Richards proposed to two men, after finding out that one could not swim and that the other wouldn't, to take a walk with him along the bank of the river. They went with him. He Insisted upon going into the water. They went out upon a raft lying behind a wooded point of land, and Richards went in to bathe. He swam about near to the boat for some time, and then got upon the timbers. After awhile Rich ards said he hadn't swum em.itigh, and would go in again, and said he might get the cramps, and if he did, he wished them to come to his assistance. It was now quite dark. He went in a . ain, and this time swam directly away from the float, and when about forty yards off cried out that he had the cramps. The two men were frightened and ran for a boat. When they returned they could neither see nor hear anything of Rich ards, and, therefore, believed him drowded. This was the evidence on the ptift of the plaintiff, except the tes timony of one individual that he thought he saw the body of a man float- Mg on the water some eight days after the drowning, but which was proven to be a hoop covered with weeds and rass. Plie defendants °tiered in testimony the pecilliar circumstances attending the effecting of the insurance, the sin gular conduct of the man, his appear ance 'in the hot Summer in woolen clothes and in September In a thin and wornout Summer suit, and the time and method of his going into the river to bathe, as indicating fraud, premeditated and most systematically arranged and perpetrated. They also produced the testimony of two witnesses, one of whom had seen this same Richards once and the other three times since the alleged drowning. The case goes over to another trial. Of course, when the doctors disagree editors cannot undertake to decide. Yet we would take this occasion to say that life insurance companies cannot be too watchful in guarding against fraud and misrepresentation. Nearly the entire benefits of , life insurance accure to widows and orphans. It is, therefore, the interest of all husbands and fathers who are insured that these institutions should be protected against fraud, so that they will be able to meet the liabil ities arising from all honest and legiti mate insurances. During the past two years, says a Philadelphia paper, many attempts have been made to swindle life insur ance companies. In Illinois an insured wan sent some other person's dead body as his representative to the grave, while he stayed back to collect the policy. In Cincinnati a man buried a lot of willow sticks for the same purpose ; and a variety of singular contrivances have been made to this end in different sec tions of the country, which seem to in dicate that a regular systematic organi zation has been effected to defraud these benevolent institutions. Anecdote of Dumas The i'aris correspondent of the Lon don Morning Star tells the following anecdote : " You are aware that the ' Situation,' an anti-Prussian paper, was started by M. Hollander, a name un known in the literary world, but well known in certain official circles. Alex andre Dumas, one evening last spring, was engaged' in writing his Blanes et Melts, when he was surprised by the visit of 'the future editor, who abruptly asked the author of Monte Cristo,"Are you on the side of the Austrins or the Prussians?' On neither side,' replied Dumas. ' Prussians represent brute force, whilst Austrians represent hered itary despotism.' But,' inquired M. Hollander, 'if the Austrian government granted an increase of liberty, would you write a novel in thier defence?' 'Not only would I do so, but I would glorify the Emperor. An Emperor who bestows a constitution on his Austrain subjects after Solferiuo, and on his Hungarian people after Sadowa, ap pears to me a remarkably intelligent man.' 'Well,' said M. Hollander, 'I want a novel entitled "Terreur Pros zi,nna a Frankfort;" will you under take it?' 'Yes, oo condition that if 1 have ruffians in the story I shall invent them myself. 'Agreed. I require sixty feuilleton,g, of 400 lines each -84,000 lines in all." But, if the story only makes 58 feuilletuns ;" • 'I require sixty.' Dumas took his pen, and cal culated sixty feuilletons at 400 lines each, 31 letters each line,—that is, 744,000 let ters. ' When do you require the work?' By the 15th June.' "That's too soon. In the first place, I have not the neces sary documents.' We supply them,' "said M. Hollander. I grant fifteen days more, till the Ist July, at twelve.' Agreed.' It was presented as the clock struck twelve on the first of July. Dumas says he never wrote a work that gave him so much trouble or that pleased him so much." A Singular Case of Ranging Mrs. Betsey P. Eastman, of Salisbury, N. H., died in that town a few days ago, in her one hundred and fifth year. She was supposed to be the oldest person In the State. An incident connected with here life is worthy of mention. Soon after the execution of Mrs. Surrat in Washington, a person accidentally mentioned that fact in Mrs. Eastman's presence, when she immediately ex , claimed, with solemn emphasis: " I was the means of a woman's being hung once." She referred to the execu tion of Ruth Blay, which occurred at Portsmouth, N. H., December 30, 1768. It appears that this woman was the school teacher of Mrs. Eastman when the latter was about six years of age. One day, through illness, Ruth Blay was absent, and tile children were at play. Mrs. Eastman said she found a loose hoard in the school room floor, and got underneath the building, where she discovered a bundle wrapped in white cloth, in which there was a dead infant. The corpse proved to be the child of her teacher, who was arrested for murder, convicted and hung. A reprieve came for her on the day of her execution, but Sheriff Packer wanted a warm dinner, and swung her off a few minutes before the appointed time. Circumstances afterward seemed to prove that Ruth Blay's child was still born, and that she was not a murderess. LANCASTER PA WEDNESDAY MORNING OCTOBER 30 1867. Match-Maktn The young lady readers of the Ledger are sure to be attracted to this little ar ticle by its heading. They will expect therefrom a lively dissertation on the art and mystery of baiting the matri monial trap for eligible birds inclined to pair. This is not an ungallant jour nal, but for once it takes the liberty of disappointing youth and beauty, to say nothing of the mature and thoughtful matrons who have their daughters' best interests at heart. The matches of which it Is our cue to speak are not of the kind supposed to be made in Heaven, and which some libellous persons say are tipped with combustible elements In a lower locality. In short, they are Lu cifer matches—of which so many bil lions of billions are manufactured annu ally. Austria, the principal match maker 01 the old world, produces no less than two thousand five hundred tons of them every year, for exportation merely. In this country we use, it is computed, between three and folir hundred millions of matches daily—or at the rate of ten per day for each unit of the sum total of our population. In England the individual average is only eight per day—but then we are such tremendous smokers! The manufacture of Lucifer matches is attended with considerable danger, owing to the inflammable nature of the materials employed, (a remark, by the way, which applies with equal force to connubial match•making.) The per sons employed in tipping the splints are liable to be attacked with a distressing complaint, known us the "jaw disease," produced by the fumes of the phospho rus which forms a part of the igneous composition; but this, we see, Is to be hereafter avoided by using a new modi fication of the article which is innocu- min and without odor. Paratflue may also be employed instead of sulphur us a means of conveying combustion to the splint, and thus the noxious sul phurous fume which the ordinary match gives out, is done away with. But a more important improvement than either of these has Just been introduced abroad and ought to be adopted every• where, inasinuoh as it prevents the possibility of Lucifer matches being Ignited by accidental friction. It con tiltati in dividing the eumpositlun Into two parts, placing the one on the end of the splint, and the other, containing the phosphorus, on the side of the box. By this means the match will only take fire when rubbed against the box.— Nothing can be more simple and safe than the IleW, plan, and we hope it will be generally adopted in this country. The Wonders of Ancient Rowe Modern writers, taking London and ark for their measure of material eivi- ligation seem unwilling to admit that Rome could have reached such a pitch of glory, and wealth, and power. To him who stands within the narrow limits of the Forum, as it now appears, it seems incredible that it could have been the centre • of a much larger city than Europe can now boast of. Grave historians are loth to compromise their dignity and character for truth by :Ad mitting statements which seem, to men of limited views, to be fabulous, and which transcend modern experience. But we should remember that most of the monuments of ancient Rome have entirely disappeared. Nothing remains of the palace of the Ctesars, which nearly covered the Palestine Hill ; little of the fora which connected together, covered a space twice as large as that inclosed by the palaces of the Louvre and Tuileries with all their gal leries and courts ; almost nothing of the . ' glories of the Capitoline Hill; and little comparatively of those Thera:lie which were a mile in circuit. But what does remain attests an unparalled grandeur —the broken pillars of the Forum; the lofty columns of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius ; the Pantheon, lifting its spa cious dome two hundred feet iu the air; the mere vestibule of the baths of Agrip pa; the triumphal arches of Titus, Trajan and Constantine; the bridges which span the Tiber ; aqueducts which cross the Campagna; the Cloaca Maxi ma, which drained the marshes and lakes of the infant city ; but above all, the Colosseum. What glory and shame are associated with that single edifice! That alone, if nothing else, remained of pagan antiqui• ty, would indicate a grandeur and a folly such as cannot now be seen on earth. It reveals a wonderful skill in masonry, and great architectural strength ; it shows the wealth and re— sources of rulers who must have had the treasures of the world at their command; it indicates an enormous population, since it would seat all the male adults of the City of New York; it shows the restless passions of the people for ex citement and the necessity on their part of yielding to this taste. What leisure and indolence marked a city which could afford to give up so much time to the demoralized sports ! What facilities for transportation were afforded, when so many wild beasts could be brought to the capital from the central parts of Africa without calling out unusual com ment! How imperious a populace that compelled the government to provide such expensive pleasures.—Hours at Home. Camp Life in Mexico The camp life of the soldiery is as singular as everything else! In Mexican armies it is emphatically the case that "every laddie has his lassie." The women share all the dangers with as' much sang froid as the oldest veteran, and perform, without pay, all the duties of army sutlers and regimental cooks and purveyors. On the march they ride ahead, mounted on tneir burros, or on raw boned horses, which they gen erally bestride a la cavalier, and five minutes after toe halt is called, each will have a savory mass of chickens and chile, and garlic and grease, sim mering iu a little brown earthenware pan over a charcoal tire, and deem her. self w(.11 paid if her lord and master b , stow a her a friendly •,vord of en,m wendauun. A strange life these army followers lead. They are astrange people altogether —a bundle of contradictions. The women, although • lost to all sense of deceney and virtue, will yet submit to every kind of hardship for their companero's sake. One moment you will see the man brutally thrashing his , spouse forsome real or fancied infidelity; I next instant they will be sitting under the same blanket, billing and cooing like a couple of turtle doves. In the trenches, during the Queretaro siege, most of the men dug caves by their side for their women, who thus kept them company on duty, and not unfrequently the hospital litters would bear away wounded and dead women, as well as men.—Galaxy for October. How Soldiers Lighted Their Pipes. A correspondent of the American Artisan tells of an ingenious method of preserving fire. It was invented in Weitsel's brigade at the siege of Port Hudson, at the time matches were a luxury: "A ramrod was stuck in the ground, but with the tip end upward; a little wad of cotton, of which there was plenty, as thousands of bales were used for breastworks, was stuck upon the end of the rod, a percussion cap placed upon the rod over the cotton, in the same manner as a cap is put upon the cone of a rifle, and it was then struck with some hard object. The shank of a bayonet was generally used for the purpose, as the blade served as a con venient handle to hold it to strike with, and it was not at all times possible to get a better substitute for percussive force. This plan of producing fire had many advantages over matches, as caps were always at command, and a light breeze or current would not extinguish the fire so produced in the wad of cot ton, but rather promote it; whereas a light breath of air would extinguish a match almost as soon as lighted. Woodmen and travellers in the far West might borrow this idea from the military with advantage." Two brothers were drowned at Laconia, N. H., on Tuesday, by the upsetting of a boat. [F om the Financial Chronicle.? The Value of Breadstuffs. The comparative firmness of the breadstuffs market, after a harvest of such great abundance, is a matter of general surprise. Even the west itself is somewhat dubious as to the sound ness of the market, and reports state that western bankers are becoming afraid of discounting grain paper at the current high prices of produce. There are, however, substantial causes for a much higher range of prices than was expected a few weeks ago ; but being chiefly connected with the condition of foreign markets, they do not readily ac quire their full force among the general public on this :Side. One or two facts require to he appre ciated in order that the position of the grain trade may be understood. The foreign markets, after two years of short crops, were exceedingly bare of stocks ; which has caused a very active demand for grain early in the season. This is also true to an important extent of our own market. For months past domes tic millers have been running on the smallest possible supplies In expectation of a fall in prices, and stocks at all the grain centers were reduced to an unusu ally low point before harvest. Here, therefore, as abroad, there has been a large early demand for consumption. Li the next place, the foreign crops fall below the early hopes, so that the mar• kets are suffering under a restriction. These are the causes which have pro• duced the recunt advance in wheat in the British inarkels. The London cor• respondent of the Financial and GO7/2. nicrcial Chronicle thus enumerates the principal causes which have produced the late change In the tone of the wheat trade "Firstly, the small supplies of old wheat In the hands of the farmers; secondly, the limited stock held by the millers; thirdly, the circumstance that the wheat crop In this country proves, so fur as we are able to Judge, below an average, and greatly under tae expec• tations which had been formed regard ing it at the period of blooming; and, fourthly, the deficiency of the French harvest, and the purchases of French buyers here, as well as in Germany and Eastern Europe. These circumstances fully justify the existing position of the trade, which, during the present week, has, for the most part, continued firm with an upward tendency in prices." The shortness of the British supply is indicated by the fact that, during the first three weeks of September, the im ports of wheat were 2,2Z8,000 cwt, against 826,000 cwt for the same period of last year•, while the imports of flour show an increase of about fifty per cent. According to the general tenor of foreign advices the wheat crop may be considered short in the following coun tries: Great Britain, France, Belgium, Poland, Spain and Algeria. In South Russia the crop is reported fair; in Turkey and the States bordering on the Danube, full; in Egypt a gain upon its late reduced supplies; Hungary, abundant. Nothing definite has yet been heard from the couutrieek having their outlet on the Baltic seaboiird. Iu this condition of the foreign supply, it, is clear that there must be au. active drain upon our supplies, and as our surplus can, after all, but very partially make up for the deficiency in countries with such large population, it can scarcely be otherwise than that there should be a strong counteraction to any downward tendency in priced in our markets. Nor is it to be overlooked that, while we have unusually large crops of wheat, rye, oats and barley, yet the corn crop of the West falls much below that of last year. The receipts of corn at the five great grain ports of the West from Au gust 3d to October sth, amount to 7,701,- 000 bushels, against 10,544,000 bushels for the correspondingperiod of lastyear. This decrease has a very direct bearing upon the value of wheat. Under the circumstance of a generally exhaused condition of stocks, there is naturally a desire to get forward a large amount of grain before the close of navigation, not only here but in Europe; and it is not impossible that this move ment, in connection with the disap pointment at the result of the European harvests, may keep up prices for a time beyond what will be ultimately realiz ed. An Eccentric Character In Paris The Paris correspondent of the Lon don Daily iVcws gives an account of the life and death of a person whose eccen tricity would entitle him to a place in a novel by Dickens. His peculiarity was a habit of spending most of his time in omnibuses. He was always ready to get into the first omnibus which left the quarter where he lived, at seven o'clock In the morning, always going first to the Valais Royal, and then somewhere else. He contrived generally to get into the corner nearest the door, where he could talk with the conductor, and be trayed much vexation if he was unable to do so. All the day, except an hour and a half for dinner and breakfast, was spent iu omnibuses, and he returned home by the last one at night. The cor respondent says : On getting into au omnibus he always asked for a "correspondence "—i. c., a ticket entitling the bearer to ride for nothing on some other line, but he very seidom made use of it. His habit was to put the ticket in his waistcoat pocket, and pay afresh in the next carriage. Two days ago, after taking his dinner in a third-class restaurant which lie frequented, iu the Rue Villedo, he asked the waiter to let him sleep a little, but begged him particularly to wake him iu half an hour, as he lied to take the omnibus for Batignolles. When the waiter, with a punctuality due to a regular customer, came to wake him, he shook him by the shoulaer in vain. The little old gentleman was dead. The doctor called in certified that he had been hurried off by an apoplectic stroke. The domicil of so great an ownihus traveller was easily found. It tut:Jed out that Le was :t Nantes, whose head had Lceu L« ucd by his unexpectedly coming into a con siderable fortune. He was under the delusion that he was a secret inspector of omnibuses, whose duty it is to go about and report the number of pus• sengers, with a view to discover frauds on the part of conductors. Fifteen hundred omnibus correspondence tick ets, carefully sorted and labelled, were found in one of his drawers. Parasites on Canaries Parasites are among the most deadly enemies of canary birds, goldfinches and other household pets. Many people have observed a bird in a state of excite ment and anxiety, plucking at himself continually, his feathers standing all wrong. In vain is his food changed, and in vain is another saucer of clean water always kept in his cage, and all that kindness can suggest for the little prisoner done, but still all is of no use; he is no better, because the 'cause of his wretch edness has not been been found out. If the owner of a pet in such difficulties will take down the cage and look up to the roof, there will most likely be seen a mass of stuff looking as much like red rust as anything, and thence comes the cause of the poor bird's uneasiness. The red rust consists of myriads of par asites infesting the bird, and for which water is no remedy. By procuring a lighted candle, and holding it under every particle of the top of the cage till all chance,of anything being left alive is gone, the remedy is complete. The pet will soon brighten up again after his" housewarming," and will, In his cheerful and delightful way, thank his master or mistress for this important assistance. Boxlmillon's Body Not Yet Surrendered. HAVANA, Oct. 22.—The Austrian frigate Novara has arrived from Vera Cruz, and will wait here for orders. She reports that the body of Maximilian had not yet been delivered to Admiral Tegethoff, because no official demand had been made. The Ad miral, however, bad met with polite treat ment from the Mexican Government. The officers of the Novara express great disgust at the obstinacy of the Mexicans. Blalse Pascal Pascal, the only son of an ableand dis tinguished lawyer,was born atClermont, in France, in 1623. He had two sisters, who were womenofslogular beauty and intelligence, and the whole family— father, mother,son and daughters—were persons of eminent gifts of mind, heart and person. Nevertheless, so deeply sunk in superstiticn was the France of that day, that even this family, among the able and enlighted of their time, did not escape it; but were a prey to the most preposterous beliefs. When the boy was a year old, he was observed to resent, in the most violent manner, any caresses which his parents exchanged. Either of them might kiss him in welcome, but if they kissed one another, he cried, kicked, and made a terrible ado. He had also the peculiarity (not very rare among children) of making a greatoutery whenever a basin of water was brought near him. "Every one," writes an inmate and relative of the family, "said the child was be. witched by au old woman who was In the habit of receiving alms from the house." For some time the father dis regarded this explanation of the mys tery, but, at length, he called the woman into his office and charged her with the crime of bewitching the child—a crime then punished with death upon the gal lows or at the stake. She denied the accusation ; but, when the father, as• su m tig a severe countenance, threaten ed to in form against her unless she con fessed, the terrified woman, as might have been expected, fell upon her knees, and said that If her life was spared she would tell all. She then avowed, that . . In revenge for his having refused to ad vocal° her cause in a law-suit, 8110 had laid his chlid under an infernal spell, and the devil, to whom she had sold herself, had engaged to kill it. " What!" exclaimed the terror stricken parent, " must my sou die then?" " No," said she, " there Is a remedy. The sorcery can be transferred to another creature." " Alas !" cried the father, " I would rather my son should die than that an other should die for him." "But the spell eau be transferred to a beast," said she. " I will give you a horse for the pur• pose," rejoined the father. " No," replied the woman, "that will be too expensive; a cat will do." So he gave her a cat. Taking the cat in her arms, she went down stairs, and met on the way two priests who were coming to console the family in their affliction. One of them said to her: "So you are going to commit another sorcery with that cat." Hearing these words, she threw the cat out of a window, and although the window was only six feet above the ground, the cat fell dead. Here was another awful portent, which threw the family into new con sternation. The father provided her with another cat, with which she went her way. What she did with the un fortunate animal does not appear, but she returned In the evening and said that at sunrise the next morning she must have a child seven years old, who mnst gather nine leaves of three kinds of herbs, which must be steeped and laid upon the child's stomach ; all of which was done by seven the next morning, and the father, relieved in mind, went to court and plead his causes as usual. Returning home to dinner at noon, he found the whole house in tears gathered round the child, who lay in his cradle as if dead. Over whelmed with grief and rage, he turned to leave the room, and meeting the " witch " upon the threshold, he gave her such a tremendous box upon the ear as to knock her down stairs. When she got up she stammered out : " I see you are angry, sir, because you think your sou is dead; but I forgot to tell you in the morning that he will appear dead until midnight. Leave him in his cradle till that hour, and he will come to life again." The child lay without pulse or any sign of life, watched with agonizing solicitude by his parents, until twenty minutes to one, when he began to yawn, and m, as soon takingnourishment in the usual way. In a few days he recovered his health, and one morning when his father returned from mass, he was de lighted to see the boy actually playing with the harmless fluid which he had formerly abhorred. Soon after, too, he would permit his parents to caress one another without showing any marks of displeasure. All of this, reader, is related with the utmost fulness of detail, and with un questionable sincerity,, not by an iguo• rant person of ignorant persons, but by a highly educated lady of one of the mo-t accomplished awl !earned families in France. Who will ~:13 the world has not advanced during the last two cen turies? Scene at a Paris Hotel Visitors to Paris iu search of an hotel will scarcely feel inclined to try their chance of comfort at the Hotel des I t aliens, Siff Itue de Choiseul, if they happen to read the report of a trial which recently came before the courts. Last June Mrs. Truedeld and her little gui arrived at this hotel, having been recommended to its proprietor, M. Le moine, by persons of the highest re spectability. The lady is an American. She selected a room without discussing the price. At the end of a week M. Lemoiue sent up the bill, which up Rared to Mrs. Truefield to be enormous. Two bowies were charged 2f. ; the cad• dlestick in which the said bougies were placed, if. ; a bath,6f. ; two dinners, 1 (if.; four• days' use of the room, 40f.; and Nein Mem, 801. ; &c. Mrs. Truefield states that she had agreed to pay 101. day for the room, as is proved by the first entry in the bill. The lady refused to pay, and notified her intention of going elsewhere; but as she passed the concierge, Stener, the woman, seized her and pushed her against the wall with so much violence that the Mottles were torn. M. Lemoine appeared, and Breed Mrs. Truefield to return to her room, in which he kept her locked up for twelve hours. On the 21st, Mrs. Truefleld having again attempted to leave the hotel, Lemoine pushed her against a window. She grasped the balustrade. The man forced her fingers one by one from the bar, then threw her on the ground and dragged her by her feet to the vestibule, under the porte cochere ; and as a considerable crowd had by this time collected, and was evidently inclined to take up Mrs. True field's defence, he shut the door on her, and left her with her back covered with bruises, her right hand sprained, and her left foot otherwise injured. The comedy of the affair has yet to be related. On the following day Lemoine lodged a complaint with the Procureur- Imperial against Mrs. Truefield. Be fore the court the tables were turned. Witnesses proved the facts, as well as Mrs. Truefield's perfect respectability. Among those who appeared on her side was the venerable Comte d'Espag na, who happened to pass the hotel whilst the assault was taking place. He appealed to the crowd, and -insisted on the doors of the hotel being kept open .till the arrival of the aergent-de-ville. Lemoine has been sent to prison for a month and fined 100 f.; the woman, Stener, for six days. "Parson" Brownlow The New York Times, (Republican,) re• ferring to the fact that Governor Brownlow is a candidate for the United States Sena torship, remarks: We are rather glad to see Parson Brown low's bid for the Senatorship, and hope he will be elected. He does infinite mischief as Executive of I` , nnessee ; he will do none as Senator at Wilshington. Supreme where he is now, in Washington his eccentricities will be toned down, and he will be forced to trot in the traces. Besides, Brownlow is a man who has "claims"—on the party, on the people, on the universe generally. Men with claims have to be disposed of somehow, and the only question is "how," most ex pediently and with the least discomfort. He is an elephant drawn in the lottery, and what shall be done with him is the question of the hour. He has himself proposed the best solution, and we trust it will be grate fully accepted. NUMBER 43 The Capitol Square in Richmond. The Richmond correspondent of the New York Herald says: The Capitol square here is the " Cen tral Park" of - Richmond. It is the most elevated of the seven hills upon which stands the city. The square is an object of pride to the citizens of Richmond. In' the summer time be neath the shade of Its beautiful foliage, seated around its fountains, whose spray sparkles like diamonds In the dazzling rays of a broiling sun, gazing with the love and devotion of the Ro mans of old, on their monumental piles of great men, the good people of Rich -mond, lad and lassie, cavalier and high born beauty, the venerable and hospita ble Virginian and the stately matron, were wont in the evenings to pass a cool hour in this beloved and much respected square. Such used to be the cus tom iu days gone by ; but now, alas how changed the scene. The square was and is venerated ; its pre— cincts were sacred; the Virginians looked with the most intense admira- tion at their grand monument of the great statesmen who personated all the glorious epochs of our country, from the anti-revolutionary era to that historic period when every freeman rejoiced iu American independence. Their stately and venerated capitol stands in its cen tre, full of traditionary lessons and his toric emblems; the walls hung with the portraits of the immortal Virginians, whose statesmanship, heroism and in tellectual grandeur have been the high est boast of Americans, whether they hailed from the "Hub of the Universe," the Golden City of the great. West, the swamps of Florida, or the prairies 01 Texas. This is a favored spot, not of only Virginians, but sacred to every man who proclaims himself au Ameri•• But now, as I Just said, how changed he scene ! The Virginian of to-day loves ils country, venerates his ancestry, 'espects his ancient traditions, and Is, Wove all, devoted to the great and bright mnunents of his race, who were f(re nost in the field, the council chamber um the society of his country. But to- day their square is desolated, Its enclo sure has been the scene of inceudiarism, "high African carnival," negro su- prewucy, and everything Irrelevant to the doctrines maintained and fought for by the great men whose statues stand in imposing grandeur in its very centre, as the personification of American In dependence, the achievements of A uglo- Saxons. But yesterday how saddening was the sight. In the very shade of the Wash ington Monument was assembled over three thousand ignorant and debased 1 Africans, yelling, hooting and cheer ing—a living evidence of degenerate America. Above this vast, black, sooty, sweltering and odoriferous crowd stood the living incendiary Hunnicutt, on the one side haranguing his deluded hearers to disfranchise the whites, tax property Molders, to fight with the bay onet and torch for their supremacy, goading them to deeds of violence and incendiarism against the people who, with those of the North, delight in a Caucasian skin ; while on the other side were the statues of, first, the Im mortal Lewis, iu his costume of the Western hunter and hardy colonial set tier, the bold frontier chieftain, hold ing his long Virginia rifle in one hand, and his knife, powder horn and hunt er's cap in the other, with his rough hunter's leggings of buffalo skin—the personification of the anti-revolutionary era, or the colonial times. The next is Henry—Patrick he is known by—a name familiar to every American, from the venerable patriarch to the infant schoolboy, standing in the attitude of appeal to revolution, with cloak on his arm, holding the sword by the blade, and tendering the hilt to'the colonists, indicating the resolve 6f men deter mined to be free and independent, ex horting them to grasp it. Then comes Mason, expressively holding the pen— more powerful than the sword—with a firm grasp, with which he seems to say, "I have written the Bill of Rights and I am determined to maintain them." The fourth in order is that of the im mortal Jefferson, who wrote the Declar ation of Independence—the glory of every American, the pride of the Anglo- Saxon race. The fifth is Nelson, the citizen soldier, with the sword in one hand and the "bonds of credit" in the other, wielding both for the liberty and independence of Americans. The sixth is that of Chief Justice Marshall, en veloped In the judicial cloak, with "Justice" as his motto. Surmounting the whole is the Father of his Country ou his noble steed, the man equipped and the animal caparisoned—the Gen eral pointing the way to liberty, leading his followers, and the horse seeming to be animated with the spirit of the men, who, in the times that " tried men's souls," gained the independence of Anglo-Saxons on American soil. In the very shade of this glorious monu- merit, with that of Clay near by, the Ignorant Africans, with their few de bated white confreres held " high car nival," nominating a mongrel African ticket to represent the city of Rich mond in a proposed Radical constitu tional convention, the' object of which is to degrade the white race, establish African supremacy in Virginia and re verse every principle for which the great Virginians, Immortal in the mem ories of their countrymen, fought.— This Is the purpose to which the square, of which Richmond is so proud, is now devoted. These are the assemblages now usually to be seen in its precints. Thee are the appeals made to the race, now, according to radical legislation, about to be supreme in the South. In stead of the Virginia belle, with her gallant kscort ; the pretty milliner, with her clerkly beau; the dignified lady, with her staid and imposing husband ; are to be seen on the square thb im• pertinent Africaur . "With his greasy, dark-skinned Dinah ; the consequential mulatto, with his neatly dressed sweet heart, whose elegance indicates vice, and the patriarch of Dahomey convers ing with the African matron on the sub jects of intellectual culture, the national finances and the politics of the country, iu a manner that is at least amusing to the eavesdropper. The square, sacred as it is, is deserted by the whites, the controlling race mo nopolizing it. Walking, sauntering, lounging on the benches, lying on the grass, mistaking Washington for Fred. Douglass and Clay for John Brown, taking Henry to be Abraham Lincoln, who they think was allegro, and specu lating whether Lewis was an Indian chief or General Sheridan, the negroes occupy the square from the first into nation of the " early bird " to the darkest hours of midnight. On their gala days the square is their rendezvous; their procession, after wandering through the principal streets, halt and break up there to be harangued by incendiary orators and listen to appeals of the most inflam matory nature. No more do the descendants of the illustrious Virginians stroll in the square to enjoy its cooling breezes, to watch its laughing fountains, to admire their venerated and respected monu ments, to think over the grandeur and nobility of Virginia; radical legislation has changed the old order of things, and the mongrels of Virginia, the de scendants of Dahomey, the semi-barba rous Africans—dirty, greasy, sooty, aromatic peculiarly, idle, lazy, ignorant, domineering and aspiring—traverse its precincts, occupy its seats, desecrate its sacredness and monopolize it exclu sively. ses.cooo.oclo r The Radicals expended this sum on the arnby last year. It was more than two hundred millions of dollars in excess of what they should have expended. But most of this money went to their Freedmen's Bureau and other Radical electioneering machines. The annual payment of this enormous sum to the extinguishment of the national debt, adding to the payment the amount of reduced interest every year, would pay off the debt in ten years, and re establish a specie currency in four years. But the Radicals are expending the money in schemes to promote their party successes —to hold the white race down and raise the negroes above them, SATES OF Anvzirrisure Mamma AvizarniznunTe, In 2 • year Eli' square of ten lines; $ 8 per year for each - ditional square. ; ZRAL EXAM BeTaTZ, PanSONSl.Pnarzirrr,and.Slas• A.Dvrartsnio, 10 cents a line ibr the first, and 6 °anus for each subsequent Miff.
