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

or two dropped in here and them; just to draw
us out, he has iu half an hour all that we know

- Every one has • his own opinion of the
writings of Emerson; we have ours, and lest
we should be mistaken for one of his follow
ers, we will say that,we admire tlw,man much
more than we do Ins works. He simply an
nounces; he does not reason; he is a (too . -
Matist, not a philosopher. He is a thorough
iconoclast, and since he has pretty effectually
abased the of. 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=

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. He lived
smiling and charming with these petulant
creatures, who often . lacked . atten
tion, gratitude, and respect for

live. One Of these was little Gilbert, who
became Duprez,and the first_ singer..of the.
World, and the great Rachel. Ile found her
one winter's day dragging in the street a guitar .
bigger than herself,- and detecting on that
juvenile brow genius's stamp, he carried her
to his school. 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

A PROLOGUE' STORY
\Vignell uttered the, first, two lines amid- a
burricane of shouts for the "prologue." : He
was one of those .imperturbable actors whit), if
they' are made to: forget their :business, stick
close to the, style of language they bave'to
utter: Accordingly, he bad 'scarcely pro

when, turning his head from AtaretyB to the
audience, he continued in the same lofty tone

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

the wing. The Senate sceneis in the second
act,- and it is the first in which. Otto appears,
as Decius says:
And at the liehd of your own little Senate!"
AS'cinpronitts and Lucius had tumbled
through their parts with much of that trans
posing of initial letters which came after
wards to be called."marowskying," and which
often produces the most laughable effects; and
ilfarciits had =referred to Decius as the
"Knoman right," instead of "Roman knight;"
and Catti had just exclaimed, "Fathers, 'tis
time you come to a resolve," to which Lucius
replied-tnot quite according to the text—
" That. is exactl - y our way ifEthiiikiiigi'Wbalti
Cook's (and .Cado's) endurance broke down.'
He stalled from his chair,-and - exclaiming,
"With such a Senate Rome itself were
damned!" rushed off the stage, to the great
admiration of the house,- who, if they did not,
expect him to take his seat again,, were cer
tainly not disappointed.
At the close of his career, Edwin Was play
ing L'owkit, in the "Son-in-Law," at the
Haymarket. In the scene. where Crank")
declines to accept him for a son-in-law, on
account of his ugliness, Edwin uttered the
word "ugly?" in a tone of surprise, and then
advancing'to the lamps, said with great cool

What story is that of that family of poets in
their solitude yonder on the gloomy northern
moors? At nine o'clock at night, Mrs. this
kell tells, after evening prayers, when their
guardian and relative had gone to bed, the
three poetesses—the three maidens, Charlotte,
Emily and Anne -L-Charlotte being the
"motherly friend and guardian of the other
two"—began, like restless wild animals, to
pace up and down their parlor, "making
out" their wonderful stories, talking over
their plans .and projects, and thoughts of
what was to be their future life.
One evening, at the close of 1854, as Char

--fire, listening. :to- the _howling. of_the_ wind_
about the house, she suddenly said to her
husband: - "Ryon had not been with me I

up stairs and brought down and read aloud
the beginning of a new tale. When she had
finished, her husband remarked: "The

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

heart, newly awakened to loVe and happi

I can only say of this lady, vkli tantuni.
I saw her first just as I rose out of .an illness
from which I never thought to recover. I
remember the trembling little frame, the little
hand, the great, honest eyes. An impetuous
honesty seemed to .me to characterize the
veman. Twice I recollect she took me to
task for what she held to be errors in doc
trine. Once about Fielding we had a dispu
tation. She spoke her mind out. She jumped ,
too rapidly to conclusions. (I have smiled at,
one.or two passages in ;the "Biography," in
which my 'Own disposition or behavior forms
thnaubject °Milk.) She formed conclusions
that might be wrong, and built up whole
theories of character upon them.. New to
the London world, she .entered it with au
independent, indomitable spirit of her own;
and judged of cotemporaries, and especially
spied out arrogance or affectation with extra
ordinary kr---
,eennessof vision.
with her favorites if their conduct of con
versation fell beloW her ideal. Often
she seemed to me to be judging
the London folk prematurely; but per
haps the city is rather angry at being
judged. • I timcied an austere little Joan of
Arc marching in upon us, and rebuking our
easy eves, our easy morals, She gave me
the impression of being a very pure and lofty,
and high-minded person. A great and.holy
reverence of right and truth seemed to be with
her always. Such, in our brief interview,
she appeared- to me. -As one that thiakc-of

Lady Jermei and Lord Byron.
She . alone, with herhusband constantly by
her side, could with propriety offer an asylum
to Lord Byron when every other door_mlts_
closed against. him. Ditrwg the years of
1814-15 he found a Jtospitable sliel ter at
Middleton Park, where he passed the greater
part of that dark period seclueson, brooding
over his wrongs, :whether - real or imaginary.
When the evil, spirit doinineered, he hated
the sight of a human beiflg. Avoiding all
communication with the family,--he at .those
times remained shut up in ltis room during
the day, living On hard biscuitS - and water.
In the dead of night, when every soul was
asleep, he would leave the house, and rush
through the adjoining . wood until daylight
and the early laborers appeared, when he
would creep back into his room, haggard and
worn out.
Neither Lord nor Lady Jersey interfered
With the unhappy man, whose state of mind
was Wand time bordering on insanity. They
pitied him, and received him with great kind
ness whenever he chose to join them at din
ner. This he would do, now and then, when
less excited, especially when a certain neigh
boring lord, a reputed hard drinker, was q
pected. ' Lord Byron, who had been living
like an anchorite for perhaps a month past,
or even' longer, would then .lay a Wager to
drink Lord C---- under the table, a feat
which he invariably accomplished. Coolly
walking off to bed, he then left to the servants

there is much that is 'thoughtful, sensible and

"The Mineral ‘Voters of the United States" is
a work by Dr J. J. 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

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 ,

read a communication which, though not so very
laconic "little Phil's" telegram, is yet quite
condensed; 'and disposes no 'less effectually of

-111 zing its infallibility, - is made-to-do-Iv' th hi s own

—which proves him a most thorough 'expert" at

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.

grades, of, loyalty and disloyalty in the South,
which s certainly discriminating as a qualitative,

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:

To unanointed eyes;unillutidnated by any other

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

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

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.
Sul.seribers representing an aggrego,t sum
. o f
£90,000 have.consented to this appropriatimiyand
as the Court of Chancery will have to' sanetieu
the scheme, it has been arranged to hold. El public
