'Gossip About Writers. [Frain the N. Y. Gazette.] LOWELL. James-Russell Lowell is an example of a, _mall of the finest abilities putting his talents under a bushel. If he had worked es indus . triOusly as LongMlow, he would have made. a great mark •on the times; this he cannot be said to havellone. He is one of, those men, however, who care very little for literary re nown. s he is moderately wealthy, the chief incentives to activity in literature are wanting to -hism. - Mr. Lowell is a mail of medium height and rather stout ligure--wouid weigh probably a hnftdred and-sixty - pounds. Re-llMSAterk,"- curling,- auburn hair, which parts naturally in the middle, like a woanan's, -a heavy red beard, a . .fiorid face, ' and blue eyes. He usually •wears a "bob" coat,„ very short, of some fancy cassimerc, trowsers of the same, and a colored necktie, carries a light ivory headed cane, and altogether presents quite a "swellish" appearance. Lowell,. while he is by no means a methodi cal memos - strongly wedded , to habit. He never writes but in a certain room; to wit,the room it the back of his house, on the first floor, in the rear of -the reception room. The table in this room is generally covered with a disorderly array of pamphlets and papers, There are some fine engravings on the walls. and the room contains perhaps five hundred . _ books. brary _ mostly .made up _ of old and rare voltunes, inherited in some cases, in others collected at ,great expense. As everybody knows, -the h6use in which Lowell lives is at Cambridge, -Mass.; near Mount Auburn. Tqe avenue (Elmwood) on which it stands is owned on both sides by Lowell.. At its head, on Mount Auburn ave nue, is the house where the late Forsythe Wilson lived—now the property of the Epis copal College. Edmund, Kirke :Et house is next door to HAS, and facing Lowell's. Long fellow's place is about a quarter of a_ mile away. Lowell's house is upwards of a century old: It was used as a hospital by the .merican army at .the seige of 'Boston. The three houses (Loaell's, liirke's and Wilson's), are on that battle;-field From time to time pieces of old cannon and balls are there turned up by the plow. The spot is on the edge of the town, and virtually in the country. • Lowell's grounds embrace thiro . , or forty acres, and themeit_.place to Kirke-s is a jam' of. _fifes, acres. Lowell may be seen every pleasant afternoon, from three .to four o'clock, walk - - ing.in a grove of old pine trees at the rear of, his umbrageousgrouna. _ .His place is niostly. "in grass," as the farmers say—that is, he cultivates little ekethan hay. The •house is square, old fashioned, three-stofy frame, with a fiat roof,. and _painted yellow. You enter by a broad hall, with a low ceiling, from which ascends a wide stairway with short steps. parlor is on the rfght hand side as you go in; on the other side is the re ception room, and back of that the poet's study. If a gentleman friend, Lowell will greet you with the remark, can give you a pipe or a cigar, whichever you prefer." For • himself, Lowell generally prefers a pipe. He is a great smoker, and his meer*chaum"colors beautifully." • This place, • which is probably worth :$50,000, was. Lowell's hirthplace, and where he has all his life: resided, though he has traveled consideralady in foreign lands. He graduated from Harvard iCollege at the age of nineteen, and then ttudiedlaw, and was ad mitted to the bar the following year. He . has never practiced hisprofession much,how-- ever, preferring the flowery walks of Mere ture—tlowery to such as he, . whose daily bread does not depend upen his daily toil. Ile has never realized much from his books, which have not bad large vales. From his professorship of Belies 'Lettres and Modern Languages in Harvard., he xeceives $3,000 a year. In view of the extent of his reputation,'. it is- quite a surprise to find how little lie has really written. 'Why donlyouswrite more?" a friend asked him on one occasion. "I am too lazy," said L6well; 4U-don't care enough for fame s -I wish I caterlinore." ' Lowell started a magailne some twenty fiveyears ago, •inl3oston, calleerffie Pioneer; which embraced among its contributors such men as Hawthorne, Poe, Neil, etc.; but it "went dead" with the third -number. It was too.good for the market. Putman's Monthly, while alive,had frequent contributions from LowelL Ile now confines himself to the pages of theAtiontie and North American Review. Ostensibly he is' an - editor of the Review, hut really he, is not; he writes articles for it, but not editorials. Ile is one of the slowest ofour literary workers. It usually takes him three months to get an article off' the stocks. He is ,wonderfully set in his opinions, on almost every topic, and if the .reat of the world chooses to disagree with ithathe rest of the world is.wrong. Not that he ia illiberal; his mind is large and comprehensive; but his inherited prejudices are very strong. He thinks, among other things, that .A.b.raham Lincoln was the great man of the present century. Be has been known to say of some of Lincoln's writings—hie messages, to wit— for terse and powerful logic, that they never were surpassed. Lowell takes life very easily, and has the most exuberant health. lie is now about forty six years .old, but -looks _younger. Ife_ s-not over fond ot the goo t imgs ot the tallle, but always has a good appetite and good digestion. ile has been twice married ; his first wife was a lady -of rare accomplish ments and a great beauty, who died some twelve years agis:''''The second. wife is still living. Mr.'Lowell has a daughter sixteen or seventeen years of ay. Of his humorous writings Lowell always • speaks lightlY. He took up the Biglow Pa pers as a trenchant weapon of satire for po litical purposes, without any idea that it would he, in the minds of most people, ti,, thing that would fasten in .their mind; the name of James Russell Lowell. Ile says the reason he his decided to write no more Big )ow is simply' because he is tired of him. REBECCA lIA.RDING DAY'S. , Rebecca Harding, now a resident of Phila delphia, came from Wheeling, Va., and was born, we believe; in that vicinity. She was entirely unknown to the literary world until the wrote for the Atlantic, seven or .eight yearii ago, '"Life in the 'lron Mills," which at t.-meted ,great deed - of attention from its power and vividness.. She had had, ample opportunity in Western Virginia for observa tion of her theme, and wrote with an evident filllneskand a thorough acquaintance with th life i she described. `For some time its audio ship was a matter of conjecture, though other contributions were ascribed" and evidently traceable to the same pen. Soon .after the commencement of her literary career she visited Boston, and the charmed circle.° f its self-admiring egotists patronind, even praised her, and sought by severely logical arg i uments to convince her she had made a grTat mis take in not being born in Massachusetts. Her writings excited a deep interest in the mind and heart of L. Clark Davis,of Philadel phia, editor of the Law Reporter, who Wrote to her expressing his admiration for her tal ents. The correspondence thuS intellectually begun became sentimental asit,progressed,and resulted, two or three years ago, in her adop tion of his name. ' . Margaret Houith, a little volume of great power, which has sold- largely, was her first book, arid Waiting .fbr the Verdict, now running through the pages of the Galaxy, will be her second. The magazine story is regarded by many as the strongest and most impressive story yet published in this country. This is extravagant and injudicious praise; but ithe tale is exceedingly interesting, and abounds in passages •of striking beatity and power. Her style is•extremely ripe, and no living wo man in America gives finer promise of futui l e achievement. Her Out of the Sea, in the May number of the Atlantic for 1865, - was one of the most noticeable contributions that have ever. appeared there, and very individual and characteristic of her mode of thought, her diction, •and what might be termed her noise en Beene. Nearly all of her stories are supremely- som lAeveri painful; and abound-with-dead-women floating in the ocean, their long hair inter mingled with sea-weed, glimpses of wrecks through the lightning of the tempest, grief strained eyes upon the beach, and desperate wretches struggling with hideous waves curling over breakers beetling and black. So much did horror enter into her 'pictures that Ticknor Fields were compelled to beg her for their readers' sake to throw a little more light•into, and aibate something of the Victor lingo element iu her creations. 111r3. Davis is still young, "legs 'than thirty, it is said; a brunette, with very bright and expressive'eyes, well formed, and is considered handsome: She must be magnetic, for most persous.Who Meet her are..attracted_to_her;_ and she giVeS them an impression of 'herself and, her capacity one does not see in her poem or ; productions. That is what the Concord transcendentalist calls character, but which extravagant sentimentalists term 'fascination. She writes slowly, and with great care and elaboration, but talks fluently and eloquently to her intimates. She does not seem to covet society, and has no fondness for being socially coddled. She is extremely earnest, and often absorbed in her own thoughts, and gives the iniPression of having lived deeply and intensely through her emotions, and to have seen much of the dark and hard side of existence in her earlier years., RA LI 'I I IV A I,DO EM ERSON But little that•is new can be Said of a writer whom all the world talks.. about, and all the 'world talks about Emerson. It may not have read his hooks, but it knows all about where he lives, how old he is, how he looks, - what clothes he wears, and how he goes along the street with his head bent forward, as if that part of him was indeed in advance of the century; But this is the outside of Emer son; and the world has not seen him in his home, or sat down with hith at his dinner table. Mr. Emerson lives in an old-Ashioned country-house; not far from the centre of the rambling town of Concord, in Massachusetts. —a place that is hallowed by one of the pivotable events of our first revolution. It is" only ten O'clock in the morning, so if you like we will enter the low wooden gate, and passing through the checker-board garden, rap at the old oaken doorway. Our summons is soon answered, and -we ushered.int9 a wide, open hall, by a' prim seTving-womaii, who seems a strange com pound of steel springs, Oswego starch, and the.neatest of Yankee calico. We look about us and notice a dingy paper on the walls, an old-fashioned hat-stand, garnished with • a broad-brimmed beaver, and a big cotton um brella near by; and beyond, a wide, half naked staitway, leading to the upper story. But the door at the right now opens, and we are face to face with the great oracular philosopher. There is a smile around his mouth, a pen behind his ear, and two or three great•daubs•of ink on as many of his fingers; but „beholds out both his hands, and saying, "Come in, come in, I anii glad to see you," leads the.way into the front apartment. It i a low-studded room, about twenty feet square, with .a modest carpet on the floor, and the same ugly paper on the walls; but this is now half hidden. by a score • or more of portraits and engravincs. In the centre i of the room is a round table, on which are some books and pamphlets, an inkstand and a few quires of ordinary ; pocket T post paper. Near the table is an empty arm-chair, and scattered about on the floor and, der ie chairaxe perhaps a dozen sheets of freshly-written manuScripts. The philosopher has been at work, and these neatly pennedsheets are a part of his next wintes lyceum lecture. We look at them and.finding that we may have-cut some great thodght.asonder right in tile middle, we remark: "You are engaged. We will run over to the Alcott's,,aue come again after dinner." "No, no," .he.a,nswers, "stay now;.a. little talk will I,li•usittre, Up; my ideas flow ielowly this morning." And then adding, "But „let us get out of this dew," . .he leads the way on again into a rear anartment. 'Alia room is of the same size as the other; butrit looks out .upon green fields,- and is odorous with all the spring flowers. All.scrts of odd kniek-nacksnover the walls, and litter up the corners; and on two of the sides are open shelves filled with odd .voltimcs, in an tique bindings, or no bindings at.all. These are the philosopher's stones , by which he turns base metal into gold—rare old tomes, chronicles, romaunts, qUaint poetry, and precious books in black letter, holding within their faded leaves the inspiration nary bygone century. But he points us to some chairs by the win 4low, and then sitting himself down, opens his mouth—and_ DOM'S_ forth a_minzi stream_ of poetry, proverb and trauseernleiiialisin. " This lasts a quarter of an hour by the clotk, and iu the meanwhile we manage to wedge in only a word or two;. but, before he gets throUgh, the philosopher has gauged us as accurately as a licensed gauger would measure a whisky bar rel. lie has the exact quality and quantity of the whole of us—hoops, staves and spiritual contents. For a moment now the stream ceases to tiow, and then it darts oil in a new direction; and, what is :marvelous, it runs now over the very ground withkw Well we are most familiar. Gradually then the stream ceases to tow again, and insensibly we open our Mouths and give vent to all that is pent-up within us. It 18 not much of a flood, fir with only a word or two dropped in here and them; just to draw us out, he has iu half an hour all that we know that is worth the knowing.

New England, a. good many very worthy people, in the absence of their old objects of worship, have concluded to set him upon a pedestal, and to fall down and do him homage. But a man must not be held responsible for the folly of his friends, and to none, we verily believe, is this Mis placed veneration more distasteful than to Emerson. For ourselves, we can only say that we never open one of his books without being reminded of what Was said to Faust by the simple-hearted Margaret: "What you say sounds very Bite, and is very nearly what the priest tells me, only in different words. For all that, thou hest no Christianity!" M. Jules Janin tells this anecdote: Once upon a time there was in this Paris, forgetful of everything, a respectable man, an rage= Mous; profound; -affectionate - artist, -- Choron; -- - the musician. He delighted to look every': where for promising intellects, well-gifted voices, and heads touched by Heaven. When he met any child which seemed to whisper confidence to his hopes, he hastily carried it home, and gave it a place in a school which (all poor as he was) he had opened at his own expense. He treated these chosen children with more than paternal tenderness. To the hungry child -he gave bread,-and he gave clothes 'to the shivering child.

One Of these was little Gilbert, who became Duprez,and the first_ singer..of the. World, and the great Rachel.

Be wanted to make a song stress of her. She, directed by her genius, quitted, the lyric drains for the written tragedy of our old poets. In fine she became Rachel, and had risen from triumphs to triumphs, carrying wills her all Paris, and - perpetually living amid enchantments and success.. At the height of this immense joy she thought she should like to play her great part "Hem - done," at the Grand . Opera, and till that- vast thea tre where her old' comrade, Gilbert Duprez,- kept die throng attentive awl charmed to the inspirations of Rossini and -Guillaume Tell. To hear was - to olky this eloqUent woman. So she played at the benefit of that respectable and worthy Massol, whose career was sud denly interrupted. at the very time his voice was strongest and most beautiful. On this night there was a crowd arthe -- Grand - Opera -- "Hermione" entered superb and triumphant, perfectly at home id Ws, immense space. She herself alone was able_ to supply the places of the orchestra and choruseS. -She became intoxicated by her •Ovlri passion. Had you seen her you would have likened her to some. sublime storth in which her eyes flashed like 'lightning. It was one of the most admirable, perhaps %was-the most: ad mirable,evening of all her life. She retired from the stage amid universal applause; whose thunders . pursued her even to the dressing-room, where Helene's daughter lay down the royal mantle. She then closed her eyes to wait till her heart beat less rapidly. Why, how now? gently, gently, heart! When at last she came to herself she caught a glimpse ('t was no vision of that great mind filled with phantoms) of the bust of : Choron, her great master. That was, indeed, his timid, "good-natured glance, his ingenuous smile, his very self. On -his brow be bore a half-faded crown, and-the crown suited well with those warm-hearted features. llowlille. Rachel's dressing-room was Duprea's-own dressing-room: Thebife-rii had given it to the grand "Hermione," as the sole chamber it hfid at all worthy such a guest. The -crown on old Chorogs brow was placed there by his little Gilbert, by Daprez himself, who,gave it to his gentle master after the unexampled success - of his summons in Guillaume Tell. •S'uirez-moi! 'Twas the Sallie very crown. Duprez prided it as the first guerdon -of his glory. At the sight of this bust and this crown Mile. Rachel (she had every noble instinct; -happy was he who knew how to rouse them) was filled with Meltable emotion.- In a sec ond she was transported back to her -earlier youth amid La .Cite &dente (so . rrow's city); the benefactions and the graces of the olden time were -once -more present to her mind. Her comrade Duprea's - gratitude revealed her own ingratitude toles. She began 16 mourn it. Just at this moment the doer of -the dressing-room, in which Duprez seemed to conceal his noble action, noisily opened. The most beautiful artrzsemses of the ballet, before entering on the stage, .brought to Mlle. Rachel the floWers and 'crowns 'thrown to her, and which filled the .stage. She said to them, with a winniugsanire, "They are yours, and lam quite sure you will be at no loss to discover who threw them to you." They obeyed, and merrily bore . away' the beautiful flowers, which were twice useful in the same evening. Mlle. Rachel kept only one crown. It was braided in the antique manner of smallage and laurels wreathed with a spray of linden. When at last she rose to return home; she, with a charming hand, took possession of the crown ;which Duprez himself had, six &ionths before, 'placed on his master's brow, awl in its stead ! encircled Choron's head with her. own antique crown: As Duprez was dressing for the , stage next day he adMired, without wondering That very same day Mlle. fittehel's friends, seeing that withered crown already crumb ling into dust, were tempted to make it the butt of all sorts of epigrams. The haughty tragic actress interrupted them with a royal gesture, saying, "I beg your pardon, gentle men, but not one of you shall ridicule a crown of amaranth placed by Duprvz, the singer, on the brow of our itiaster,—Chbron." Addison's "Cato" has been fertile in comic slips and serious consequences. Pope's mag nificent prologue was in public favor only next to the play itself, but gradually it fell out of use. WUn the piece was reproduced m the last century for Sheridan, the part of Portius w 11$ assigned to an old utility actor named Wignell, who had often played the part in his younger days. Forams opens the tragedy with these four lines: "The dawn is over-cast, the morning lovcors, And heavily in clouds brings on the day,— The great, th' important day, big with the fate Of Cato and of Romer Choron the Plusicutn.

AloderatiOn or reserve were things not to lie expected, generally, from George Frederick Cooke, though he could practice both when the gentlenianly humor was upon him, or when it otherwise suited his purpose. He ' on one occasion consented to go down from London to play Cato, for the benefit of a poor actor, a quondam friend, in a country theatre. It was the character which Cooke played 'Weise than any of those for which he was ill suited, yet which `he would play. The tragedy itself is not one that is likely to 'be well handled, by a- provincial company ; and on the occasion in ques tion it. met with suprethely ill usage at very incompetent hands. All the appoint ments were bad, and what little of the text was remembered was delivered 'with many variations and - a comic indifference to the rules of pronunciation. • Cooke, however, was good-natured and tolerant. He swore a little, laughed a ?god deal, and bore with all, more or less patiently, till there was a general break-down, in the Senate scene, owing to a universal forgetfulness •of the text, which the most skillful of prompters could by no means remedy. This does not imply that Cooke's patience lasted long. In fact, he WitB only tolerant, ofannised"while he looked on from the wing. The Senate sceneis in the second act,- and it is the first in which.

One evening, at the close of 1854, as Char lotte Nicholls sat with her husband by the --fire, listening. :to- the _howling. of_the_ wind_ about the house, she suddenly said to her husband: - "Ryon had not been with me I must have been writing nbw." She then ran up stairs and brought down and read aloud the beginning of a new tale. When she had finished, her husband remarked: "The critics will .accuse you of repetition." She replied: "0, I shall alter that. I always begin two or three times before I can please myself." But it was not to be. The trem bling little hand was to write no more.

Miss Dodge's success as an essayist has been no less rapid than bril liant. She was formerly a school teacher in :Connectictit, and a few years ago ; while in Washington, she entered the literary field as a correspondent of the Boston Congroyation erli•sl. Returning home, she continued her connection with that journal, and wrote a series of - e'ssays and - gitae - hes WI - WC (If; pluiiic of "thtil Hamilton, - which at tracted the notice of the editor or the tic alonfhf j, who secured her as a con tributor. Der subsequent volumes, with the single, exception of !`Stumbling Blocks," have all been made up of articles originally con tributed to that periodical. Miss Dodge is a pleasant little lady on ,the shady side of thirty, and now resides with her brother at Hamil ton, Mass. Her forte as a writer is dash, and her independence of thought concerning the-. ology has brought down'upon her the ortho dox community in a body. For a year past she has studiously kept out of print, but her lime meanwhile has been occupied in literary pursuits, thb, results of which will ere long be given to the public.—.Nete .freg,,,ej •„_ Stories of the Georgeit , .

Moorman; of the White Sulphur Springs. Va., just published by Kelley & Piet. Baltimore, and for sale by E. H. Butler & Co. The author gives an account,of the various -nritif•ral springs of the iced S tat es, with their different medical qualities. I''oin - 41101s of the work are devoted to the springs in Virginia and other Southern States, and the reference to the remainder of the country is rather meagre and hurried. The book will be :it. variable guide, in many respects, to invalids and others who are in need of the-recuperative advantages of these places of resort. "Beauseineourt," by the author of "The llouse hold of Bouveric," is even more, interesting and more cleverly - written than that. widely known and universally popular novel. The scene is laid in the South, but describes events which happened in the 'old - Calhoun - dept.; and-gives pleasant pie tures of quiethoine life on a plantation, which are, however, sometimes.darkly overshadowed by domestic calamities and horrors. We say no more of these; leaving the reader to enjoy the "first shock" of them, as we did. Published by 'Carleton & Co. For sale by Peterson & Brothers.

To.the Milw• orthe Philcu Ee. 'zing Of Sheridan'sTePly to the Ple6ident'a conditional order, it has been happily said by a Now Orleans, editor (one 'opposed, too, to the General), that - in five lines Sheridan refutes the five columns-of legal lore whereby Andrew . .Johuson's learned counsel or "legal, advisor," Mr. Attorney- General Stanlx:rry, attempts to reduce the work of Congress to nothingness. In a recentimmber of , .1 - a;; , ,n. I have just read a communication which, though not so very laconic "little Phil's" telegram, is yet quite condensed; 'and disposes no 'less effectually of .. Philosopher" Greeley's "Universal Amnesty" dratilteilltitiol). The beauty of it is, that our philosophic Weird, whose charaeteristic philan thropy Indulges in such superb disdain of all "blockheads who presume to hesitate in recog -111 zing its infallibility, - is made-to-do-Iv' th hi s own hands the cruel work of- knocking out the brains' of his own pet bantling; and this, too, in A style —which proves him a most thorough 'expert" at the business. and. 'therefore.. warrants the infer ence that he is no novice at the practiee.inhuman though it be_ Metaphor aside, this "inaiVersal amnesty" doc trine coupled, as It is,- with the . weight ' of au • thorily attaching to Mr. Grcelcy S strikes me as an extremely dangerous thing: and so frig. I have been at the pains of getting the inclosed copy made of the article in the Noei, m , .:hove .referred to, in the hope of its lindiug place in vour columns. Did it depend upon me, it should - have one in every paper in our country, so that its force should be universally telt and recognised as a conclusive exposure, at once of the utter nomensicality of that doctrine. and of the immeasurable mischief which lie., hid under its show of liberality and benevolence. I will close by Taunting out that,' bad not "H.

Thdhe Editor of the Nation :—Whon good for tune vouchsafes to the veteran editor of the Tri ,mne a clear glimpse of men and things as they are, through sonic rift iu the vaporous whims that encompass him, his vision seems to be ex cellent. }or example; in his issue of the 28th inst. is an editorial. elliNificatiou of the several grades, of, loyalty and disloyalty in the South, which s certainly discriminating as a qualitative, if necessarily imperfect as a guantitailve 7 analysis. 'The editor distributes the population o f the late rebel States Into five classes, thus: "1. White Unionists who never faltered. • 2. Black ditto. 3. Original Unionists who became rebels. 1. •Original secessionists now loyal. b. Implacable ,rebels." His estimate of the number of people rep, rented by each class is appended to each. rigures I omit, as not possessing special value.i and as irrelevant to the point 1 have in mind. That point is the singular relation subsisting be tween the editor's comments on 'Class No. 5, and Ids pet whim of "Universal ampeslj and impartial sn.firage." Of the "implacable rebels"—whereof he assumes the existence of 2,000,000—he talks ,after this vigorous fashion: "This body of malignants are as ready to-day to burn negro school-houses, insult the female teachers therein, and assault negro camp-meet 111118_11s they_ever_were.__Titev. are the_insUgatotl of New Orleans massacres and Mobileifots. I is ,•ountry can have no solid peace till they are' sup _ pressed or driven out.

To unanointed eyes;unillutidnated by any other :than the light 01 average common t'en4; it is dif .3lcult to see how universal amnesty is going to ac complish these tolerably radical prehminaries to "solid peaCe",---or any offs of them.' 'How will it placate the iniplaeable? How will It suppress, drive out,isolate or expose to discipline the afore said body of malignauts? And how does Mr. ;Greeley menage to hold in one brain, albeit a large one, such comical diversities of sentiment, such ail incongruoua jumble : of oppOsites, and . yet preserve that "Innocent expression of face" that some writers talk about?

CITY BULLETIN. THE OVENS IMPF.ACILMENT CASE.—The special committee appointed by Common Council to in quire and investigate whether William J. Ovens, One of the assessors of the Seventh Ward, has not been guilty_of a gross_violation -of-the-duties of his office, and whether the requirements of the law and ordinances governing the assessors have not been violated and disregarded by that officer, and whether his official conduct on the occasion of the late brutal murder of Colonel Riddle has not been such as to warrant'' m impeachment by thew; Cohnells, and if the committee deem the evidence sufficient, they arc instructed to report articles of impeachment to this Chamber, met last evening in Select Comicil Chamber. Messrs. Evans. Harper, Shoemaker, Littleton and - 4etzel, the Committee, were present. Mr. John Riddle. Henry Huhn and several other witnesses were examined. The testimony was similar to that adduced before Coroner Daniels and Alderman Heftier. The case was not and the committee adjourned to meet this afternoon. 811(Am:cu.—Before Recorder Died; yesterday, Edward Speed was held to answer the charge of shooting Charles Lewis on Wednesday last. It appears that on the day named Lewis and two others. were walking down Lombard street, and as they approached Tenth street they ob served a' crowd • on the opposite side. On crossing, Mr. N. C. Alexander, one of the other two, was struck with a blackjack and knocked down; be jumped up and ran, his friends following him. When they had proceeded across the street, it is 'alleged. Speed pulled out a pistol and fired at him. The ball missed its aim. and struck Lewis in the side. Ile fell to the side walk, and was soon after taken Into a private re sidence near by. A physiCian was called in and the ball extracted. At the hearing the parties fully identified Speed as the one who shot Lewis. The parties are all colored.

Flake's Galveston Putlean. recently liiid occasion to announce a 'tournament. ' It iierformal this duty in the following style: "Chappel Hill is, we believe,"the field of the cloth of gold, where . goodly 'knights, arrayed in the armor of the circus, tin helmets and - pasteboard: shields, aro to . bestride their steeds, and go through the farce of tilting at rings. Never, since the day Don Quixote tilted at a wind-inill,has there been-so played out a knight as that typified by Southern chivalry. • * *—* "For whatever there was of mar tial glory (and it was not a little) that clustered around the banner of the confederacy, was not of the chivalry pattern. The chivalry men of the South were those who slipped 'through the conscription. The matter-of 'fact people were those who went to battle. As chivalry did little during the war, it is ridiculous to -revive it now. Tilting at rings, iu the presence ot' lovely women, is not the way to settle questions of political gravity. 'Queens of Love and Beauty' have very little judgment 011 poljticaL matters: Last year tournaments were as common as days of the week. Now we hear of but two—one in 3lisAssippi, by the.- freedmen, and this at t'happel Hill. The days of knight-errantry are passing away. and :the men are. settling down to trade and soberness. : The only po litical significance these tournaments ever had arose from the opportunity for speechifying and glorillyiug the confederacy, and in the at tempt to substitue a tilt at rings for the good old fashioned Fourth of July. We are dis posed to regard the, contempt of the tourna ment as an indication that people are settling down into their own ola.way.".„ . .• A MECHANICAL CHEIOSITY.—The Mecha nics' Magazine says: "A mechanicil curi osity has recently been constructed in London. It is a watch belonging to a member of Parlia ment, and designed - and - made expressly. for him by James Ferguson Cole, the celebrated London watchmaker. This unique pocket chronometer has a silver dial, on which are nine hands, indicating respectively the hours, minutes and seconds, the days of the week, the days of the month, and the months of the year. It corrects itself .for unequal months-- that is to say, changes when they have thirty and when thirty-one days, and also corrects itself for leap year. It is so constructed that any slight agitation of the watch, such as the ordinary exercise of walking, . winds it up. Thus it may be worn arid will go perfectly for years without requiring to be opened, although it can also be wound by a key in the _usualmanner. The dial is arranged in five circles, and within the largest (the hour circle) there is a semicircle showing the moon's age and phases by means of gold on a ground "of blue steel. At the back of the watch is a gold indicator for ascertaining the time in the dark by touch. The complication of the me chanism may be imagined, and yet the watch is of ordivarfilimensions,and_marbe conve.7 nient y of in any gentleman's pocket. It cost the sum of 800 guineas." THE Carron-FAMINE FUND.—An English pa per says: ' "As a very large balance remains in the Lands of the' treasurers to the Liverpool branch of the cotton-famine relief fund, it has been sug, 7 gested that the test: application of the money would be to found a` convalescent • hospital, .in connection with the three hospitals already in ex. 7 istence, to which patients may be sent to gain strength for the operations,. or to recover from thcm,or in which patients requiring purer air than they can get in the town can be aceothmodated.
