FLOWER-DE-LIME. By H. W. LONGFELLOW. Beautiful lily, dwelling by still rivers, Or solitary mere, Or where the sluggish meadow-brook de livers Its waters to the weir ! Thou laughest at the mill, the whirr and worry Of spindle and of loom, And the great wheel that toils amid the hurry And rushingnf the flume. Born to the purple, born to joy and plea sance, Thou dost not toil nor spin, But makest glad and radiant with thy pre sence The meadow and the lin. The wind blows, and uplifts thy drooping banner, And round throng and run The rushes, the green yeomen of thy manor, The outlaws of the sun. The burnished dragon-fly is thine attendant, And tilts against the field, And down the listed sunbeam rides resplen dent With steel-blue mail and shield. Though art the Iris, fair among the fairest, Who armed with golden rod And winged with the celestial azure, bearest The message of some God. Thou art the Muse, who far from crowded cities Hauntest the sylvan streams, Playing on pipes of reed the artless ditties That come to us as dreams. O flower-de-luee, bloom on, and let the river Linger to kiss thy feet! 0 flower of song, bloom on, and make for ever The world more fair and sweet. THE SWALLOWS. Fly. swallows, now September Has yellowed every leaf; Fly, swallows, for rich Autumn Is piling sheaf on sheaf. Fly faster, faster swallows, To deserts broad and free, For Alrica, the golden, Stretches her hands fer thee. False friends, ye leave us, eager For homes less fair than ours; Like Love and Hope, you leave us In Winter's bitter hours. Go, then, for when the rainbow Proclaims Spring's gentle reign, With flowers and early roses, Yon will return again. Household Economy. Contributed by George J. Henkels, Cabinet Maker Thirteenth and Chestnut.] FURNrThRE COVERINGS.—Reps and Terry, both all wool and union, or wool and cotton,are now the favorite goods for hbraries,dining-rooms and chambers. It is manufacthred the same as the finer ar ticles of dress goods,only much stronger, to resist - the great wear on it. It is not very durable, particularly the English goods, which are sent in immense quan tities to, this country. French goods wear much better, and are well worth the difference in prices, as the color stands better, and the fabric is much better wool. It is a notorious fact that the price of an article —even one that is to have hard service, influences purchasers more than quality does. This will do for temporary pur poses, but it will cost more in the long run. I have the assurance of one of the largest importers of upholstery goods in New York that the Reps, Terry, Cote lathes, and, in fact, all curtain materials and furniture coverings, are made ex pressly for this market of such inferior quality that Europeans would not use them at any price. Formerly Reps,Terry and Brocatelles were made 63 in. wide, of good fair quality; the manufacturer,tO reduce the price and to accommodate his American customers, by selling them cheap goods, reduced the width gradually to as low as fifty two inches, making a reduction of nearly 20 per cent. in the width. The fabric was also reduced in quality 25 per cent. which should have made over 40 per cent. in the price of the goods. But this was not the case really, as the un. wary purchaser and the manufacturer ; of cheap imitation of better goods were buyers at 25 per cent. off the price of good goods—leaving an extra 15 per cent. profit t ) the importer or the manu facturer if the goods were sold at his New York agency. I 'will here men ' tion the fact that most of the men who are called importers in New York are merely the Clerks of Foreign manufac turers who have established stores in New York for the sale of their wares. The present warehousing system ena bles them to receive any quantity of goods, and leave them in bond in the Custom House until sold—when the duties are paid. This is a convenient outlet for surplus European manufac tures, but it is a great injury to legiti mate importers. An importer may go to Europe and make his purchases de pending on a remunerative profit in the ordinary course of trade. He can also have the advantage of warehousing until the goods are sold—but if trade is dull in Europe and their sales to im porters are not equal to their stock manufactured, the surplus is shipped to this country to their New York houses and put in bond. If trade is sluggish, this surplus stock is forced on the market at auction,or by traveling agents, and the American importer finds that the identical goods which he brought out are being offered at such prices that would make him a heavy loser. The result is that the legitimate importation of goods is confined to but few branches of business. Let any one look at the names on the cards or signs of New York (so called) importers and they will find scarcely any American names. This accounts for our immense importations. Whilst it gives our gov ernment an immense revenue for cus toms it is vitally injuring our prospe rity by abstracting our, gold or other means to pay for an immense quantity of importations that we could really dis pense with, but which are consumed be cause they are nominally cheap. One. half of the quantity of material of good quality legitimately imported for actual consumption would be of more _ - - service to the country. If Ame rican consumers would not pur chase this inferior quality of goods, that I is, cheap imitations of good articles,both foreign and domestic manufacturers • , would find it to their interest to estab lish a reputation of excellence in quality rether than nominal cheapness. Where , :nufacturers of any kind of wares r the apyarently same goods at much r prices than a neighboring mann-7 :ffer ifilo has all of the advantage THE DAILYEVENING BULLETIN.-PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 17,;:1866.---TRIPLE SHEET. the other possesses in purchasing raw materials and procuring labor, there is something wrong either in the quality of the goods or the integrity of the ma nufacturer as there could not possibly be more tlian a difference of five per cent. in the Cost of producing. Those who are attracted_ by cheap goods should bear this in mind. It is much more to the credit of a manufacturer to attain excellence with proper economy than to have the reputation of being able to undersell all others. kt: m.‘0112,i 503:01 Fifteen Hundred Shooting Stars Ob served at Yale College. YALE COLLEGE, Nov. .15th.—To the Edi tor of the Evening _Post: On Monday night, November 12th, a company of observers at this place counted six hundred and ninety six shooting stars in five hours and twenty minutes, which is about four times the ave rage number visible for the same period throughout the year. On Tuesday night, November 13th, another, company counted eight' hundred and eighty-one shooting stars in five hours, which is five times the ave rage number. On Wednesday night the sky was overcast, so that no observations could bernade. We conclude, then,that the number of shooting stars visible about the 13th was very remarkable; nevertheless this display is not to be compared 'with that of November 13th, 1833, in which the number of meteors was variously estimated at from ten thousand to thirty thousand per hour. The grand display, therefore, which it was supposed might possibly occur this year, has not been witnessed in the United States, and probably not in Europe, or it would have been announced to'us by telegraph. It may have been witnessed in Asia or the Pacific ocean, but if such had been the case it seems probable that the num her visible in the United States would have been greater than it was. The telegram in this morning's Herald, purporting to have come from. Greenwich is evidently spurious. It is there fore probable that there has not been wit nessed this year in any part of the world a display of meteors at all to be compared with the great display of 1833. As an unusual interest in this subject ap pears to have been excited, some of your readers may wish an answer to the ques tions, What are shooting stars? and, How do we account for their periodical display in unnsuednumbers? Shooting stars may,with out much impropriety, be called little comets. Each meteor is a small body, gene rally of very little density, revolving about the sun in an eliptic or bit,land governed by the same laws as the larger planets Jupiter and Saturn. The average number of these bodies which encounter the earth every day is several millions, and still there is no perQeptible decrease from year to year. The total number of these bodies, there fore, belonging to our solar system, must be reckoned by millions of millions. The earth in its motion about the sun, with a velocity of nineteen miles per second, is continually encountering more or less of these bodies,and they plunge into our atmosphere with velocities vary-' ing from ten t'S forty miles per second, by which means heat is developed sufficient to ignite them, and they are entirely con sumed, generally in a single second, and at an elevation of about fifty miles above the earth's surface. Occasionally we encounter. bodies of greater density, which cannot be so readily 'consumed, and they reach the earth's surface, sometimes entire and at other times in a fragmentary condition. Samples of such meteors are to be found in all the large mineralogical collections in this country and Europe. The periodical display of shooting stars in unusual numbers indicates that they are not distributed uniformly throughout the solar system, but are collected in vast num bers in certain regions, while in other re gions there are comparatively few. Shoot ing stars are annually seen in great num bers on the 10th of August; and since each meteor is moving in its orbit with great ve locity, while every year we find large num bers of them near the same point of the earth's orbit, we conclude that they are ar ranged -in- a ring or zone, intersecting the earth's orbit at a point which the earth passes on the 10th of August. In order to explain the recurrence of an unusual number of shooting stars, year after year, about the 13th of November, we suppose that there is another ring of these minute bodies, somewhat inclined to , the ecliptic. Throughout the different portions of this ring the meteors are distributed in very unequal numbers; but there is one portion where the number is immensely great; and it is this portion which the earth encounters at intervals of about thirty three years. According to Professor H. A. Newton, the reason that this display re turns only once in thirty-three years is the following: Each meteor of the November group moves in an orbit which is nearly circular, with a mean distance from the sun either alittle less or a little greater than that of the earth, and a period about eleven days less or greater than one year. The earthen countered the densest portion of this group in November, 1833; but the next year this portion passed eleven days before or after the earth returned to that point of its orbit; the following year the difference amounted to twenty-two days; so that at the end of about thirty-three years it must gain or lose one entire revolution, and return nearly to the position where it must encounter the earth, If we receive no accounts of an un usual display of meteors this week in auy part of the world, we shall look with con siderable confidence for such a display on November 14th,1867. E. L. The Condemned Fenian—Letter from the British Minister. The following letter from the British Minis ter was received by the Secretary of State yesterday. WASHINGTON, Nov. 15, 1866.-Sir:—l have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 27th ultimo, relating to the sentence of death passed on J. Lynch and McMahon in Canada, and stating the views entertained by the Government of the United States on the various considera tions of law, policy and humanity which might be expected to arise in the course of the trials of the individuals concerned in the raid committed in Canada last spring. Immediately on the receipt of that note, I frau emitted a copy to Her Majesty's Govern ment, and await their instructions before entering at length upon the several and weighty subjects contained in it. The course pursued by the Canadian Government in bunging these cases before the re gular tribunals of justice, thus secur ing to the prisoners the full protec tion the law affords to the accused, and the readiness shown by them to communicate all such documents to the Consul of the United States as may throw light on the jus tice of the sentences and the regularity of the proceedings, will, I trust, satisfy the Government of the United States that, while vindicating the majesty of the law, the au thorities do not conduct the prosecutions in any vindictive or harsh spirit. I am now authorized to state that the whole question of the disposal of such of the prisoners as may be convicted has been re ferred for decision to her Majesty's Govern ment, who will certainly be animated by the desire to deal with it so as to aware peace and harmony between populations living ink such immediate proximity and separated by a long frontier so easily tra versed. • I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient hum ble servant, FREDERICK W.

'That thirteen trips involve the ne cessity of another steamship and an addi tional yearly expense of $113,000, without commensurate advantage to the Govern ment, the public, or the steamship com pany.

IG.—The Grand Trunk Railroad Company's freight sheds at Prince Edward's, including eighteen cars loaded with arms belonging to two compa nies of volunteers, were totally destroyed by fire to-day. The fire is believed to be the work of an incendiary. THE EYEBROWS.—The eyebrow is one of the most expressive features in the human face. We must all of us have observed how prodigiously its lines vary; bow' in one case the eyebrow will slant upwards from the root of the riose to wards the temple—as in the popular idea of Mephistopheles—or the 'reverse way, the eyebrows elevated where they apm proach most nearly towards each other, and drooping as they near the temples. This slant will very commonly be ex hibited in devotional pictures of saints and others engaged in supplication. Sometimes again, these features will adhere to a ' line which is very nearly or quite straight; and sometimes—very commonly, by the way—there will be an angle at or near the middle of the eye. brow, an obtuse angle with the point upwards. Lastly, this feature will oc.. casionally describe the segment of a cir cle,presenting that arched form which is so much and so generally admired. All these forms, and endless variations of each of them,nre taken by the eye brow, and not one of them without a great influence on the expression of the eye—an influence s too, increased im mensely by those hoes and wrinkles by which the , eyebrow is surrounded, or into which parts of it are Merged, as in the case of thatepowerfully marked up right line so often'to be observed at the junction of the eyebrow with the nose. A SAD DOMESTIC HISTOEY.-A plea sant featured, though haggard-looking woman jumped into the North river at New York, a few nights since. She had a child in her arms. Both were re• scued. At first she refused to tell her story, but following her to the station house, however, and speaking kindly to the poor woman, she visibly softened, and after a little effort she was led to tell her story, which she did, interrupted by fits of weeping. Her right name was Emily Campbell. A year ago she had married a young house carpenter in a town in England. Thinking• that they might do better in this country they had embarked on board a vessel. They landed in Baltimore and thence came to New York city. On the way their first misfortune happened. Two large chests containing the greater portion of their clothing and effects were stolen. They reached New York almost penniless and obtained board in a cheap boarding "house. Two months ago her confine ment was close at hand and they had to go into furnished lodgings; their money had dwindled away and they were very poor; they owed money for their board. The wife said that her husband did not complain, but she thought he was not satisfied. On Saturday her little babe had been taken sick and there was no Money to buy it medicine. While her husband was out at. work during the day she had taken up her poor, feverish infant, and had good into the street. She walked here, there, through the crowded Broadway and up and down by streets, past elegant houses and groups of people who seemed to be so happy. But she did not beg; she could not do that. She pondered over her troubles and gradually strayed to the edge of the river. It was night now, and she could see the lights flashing here and there from vessels in the river and happy homes on the distant shore. The thought came to her that she would not be a burden to her husband longer; it was but a leap, a splash, and then the waters would close over her and her little one, and they would give him trouble no more. On the impulse she had leaped from the pier, but God would not let her die, and her dress had kept her up until the boat reached her. She wanted to go back to her husband now; he lived at 141 Thompson street; she did not think he would complain or blame her, and it would be perhaps best. Then the wretched mother looked at her child and said that it had caught more cold and was worse; it could not live. At this she sobbed as though un done. As soon as the above facts were learned an officer was sent at once for the husband to come to his wife at the station house.
