At WIBSEPESADKEE» I>Y l.Vqy LAIiOOJU : f O, silent hills across the lake, ■ Asleep-iii moonlight or awake ' r:. - To catcff tho color of the sky That sifts through every cloud swept by; Jlow beautiful ye aro in change Of sultry haze and Btorm-light strange; How dreamlike rest yc on the bar That parts the billow from tho star; How ; blcnd your mists with waters cloar, Till earth floats off, and Heaven seems near ! Ye faint and fade, a pearly zono, The coast-line of a land unknown. Yet that is son-burnt Ossipee, Plunged knee-deep in the limpid sea, Somewhere among these grouping isles Old White Face from his cloud-cap smiles, And gray Chocorna bends his crown To look on happy hamlets down; And every pass and mountain slope Leads out and on some human hope. Here, the great hollows of tho hills The glamor of tho June day fills. Along the climbing path, the brier, In rose-blown beauty beckoning higher, Breathes Bwcetly the warm uplands over; And, gay with buttercups and-elover, The slopes ofmeadowy freshness make A green foil to the sparkling lake. So is it with yon bills that swim Upon the horizon blue and dim. For all the summer is not ours; On other shores familiar flowers Finds blossoming as fresh as these In shade, and shine, and eddying breeze And scented slopes, as cool and green, To kiesof lisping ripples lean. So is it with the Lana boyond This earth we presß with steps so fond. Upon those faintly-outlined hills God's sunshine sleeps, His dew distills. Tho dear beatitudes of home Within tho heavenly boundaries come; The hearts that made life’s fragrance here To Eden-hannts bring added cheer; And all the beauty, all the good, Lost to our lower altitude; Transfigured, yet the same, are given, Upon the mountain height of heaven. O, cloud-swathed hills the flood across, y c hide the mystery of our loss; Yet hide it bnt a little while; Fast sun-lit shore and shadowy isle, Ont to the still lake’s furthest brim ErcloDg our bark tho wave shall skim. And what tho vigor and the glow Our earthly-torpid souls shall know, When, grounded on the silver sands, We feel the clasp of loving hands, And see the walls of Bapphire gleam, Nor tongue can tell, nor heart can dream. Butin your rifts ofTvondrousdigbt Wherewith these lower fields are bright, In every strengthening breeze that brings The mountain-health upon Its wlugs, We own the gift of Pentecost, And not one hint of heaven is lost. A Group of Vagabonds, [From tho Uornhill Magazine.! Whatever pilgrimages might have been at an earlier period, they were anything but dis agreeable during the middle ages. Bit by bit our ancestors eliminated harsh devotion, and substituted amusement, until they became the orthodox means <of spending a holiday. Between the tenth and fifteenth centuries they teemed with pleasant variety, crowding the highways with temporary devotees (“iu numerabilis multitudo coepit confluere; ordo infeiiores plebis, mediocres, reges’et comitea, praeeulee,muliere3 mult® nobileß cum paupar toiibus,” as Glaberhath it), and tempting a great many people to pass their livesln wan dering from shrine to shrine. 1 And, -consid ering the scenes through which they wound; the adventures that befell, and the benefits that they promised—these excursions had ob viously sufficient attraction to rouße the vag abond in the steadiest temperament. N >r were the’varied characters and strange expe riences of the people they threw together calculated to allay the _ disposition. Here Was one whohadknelt at OomposteHa, there Another who had bathed im the Jordan, and yonder a third who had climbed the precipices of Sinai. This one had strained at the oar in the. galleys of Barbary, that one—like Sir John; Mandeville—had served some outlaud isb .potentate, and their neighbor,. blue-eyed and large of limb, had wielded the Verangiau axeat the palace gate of Byzantium. All these had-much to tell that was well worth listening to,' and long practice had enabled them to deliver it with the best effect. They drew the long bow, indeed, without scruple, and enlarged-concerning magician and mar vel until wonder’s self-was sated. But this was no more than was expected. Indeed,they cpuld not otherwise have won a hearing, for our fathers were too fond of gorgeous acces sories in all things to tolerate even truth in unembellished form. Anything and everything, from a scalding wife to homicide, was a sufficient excuse for pilgrimage. It was the best possible prepa ration for a dangerous enterprise, and the most approved form of thanksgiving for suc cess or escape from peril The Lord of Joinville stalked in his shirt to every shrine within twenty leagues of his castle previous to joining St.' Louis in one of his disastrous crusades. A pilgrimage was the first act of Columbus on recrossing the Atlantic. Louis VII. got rid of a bad wife by means of one such promenade, engaged in ' another out of gratitude for getting a good one, aud under took a series, distributed over twenty-eight years, to induce the saints to provide him, as they did at length, with a son and heir. Gibbon hints th'at Peter the Hermit became a pilgrim in order to escape from matrimony. A certain Guy of Crema went a lithe way to Ararat to procure a piece of the ark ; . for his wife to Wear as a talisman against too groat an increase of family. Tne . cross of the good thief ;£>lsmas, preserved by the Cypriotes, was in" great request among Eious cutpurses. Count Gillibrand, of Bpon eim, traveled to lona to entreatSt, Coluinba foi a favuiable issue to his feud with his neighbor, the Vxchbishop of Treves; and a dame of Paris tramped toßheimS to procure a spiritual letU'e-de-cachet against her bus band, who happened to be a staunch Burgun dian, herself being strongly attached to the opposite party, in the person of one of its officers. A troop of pilgrims was never wanting in comic materials. It was always sure to abound in flirtation, fun and frolic, especially in eccentricity; and was, indeed, about as queer a hotch-potch of pe sons as could possibly be contrived. The characters of many were just as odd as their motives, and t’-e tollowing, well known in their time,'may be taken as average specimens. Here pbdded the merchant Saswolf, who endeavored by frequent pilgrimage to atone for bis much regretted bat unconquerable propensity to cheating, By his side went ihemoakßi manns of.Evfoult, ailiicted, poor man, to the anhoyahee of his brother monks, with invet erate kleptomania as regarded tbeir breeches, and who was, therefore, condemned to this species of exile from his ■’onventi And wherever the spirit of mischief found amplest scope there marched Arlotto il Piovine, the jnost celebrated, droll and incorrigible vaga bond of bis age, the perpetrator of more loose jests abd. ridiculous. pranks than even Ra belais, andj according to his countrymen, tbC father of all the ‘ ‘ Joe-Millerisms ” that bave-been handed down .to .them from, the - cuddle ages. ' And these bands contained a sufficient ad mixture of -the tragic to satisfy the keenest loverfi of sensation. In their skirts generally skulked one or. two like a pair of noble Bre ton brothers, who, for mauif .id misdeeds, had been condemned to wander in their shirts, barefoot, besprinkled with ashes, and heavily ironed, ‘'until it should please God to release them from the burden of ' their chains.” During four year* -hardship -and perjl they, bore these fetters about with them,, from Mount Ararat to Loch Derg, until, in the course of time and many a weary march, the iron had eaten deeply into their fle9b. At last, when every foreign saint had proved obdurate, a countryman took pity on their plight, aDd .heir chains dropped otf one fine morning at the tomb of Bt. Marcellinus. These impedimenta did not always betoken a thrilling story aDd a Bincere conversion. Even so early as the days of Charlemagne we find them denounced as, in too many cases, the insignia of imposture. No doubt the palmers prayed heartily enough at the shrine when they reached it. But it does not appear that they harrassed the saints overmuch as they trudged along. On the contrary, we have good reason for sus pecting that songs, legends—some broadly humorous, some quaint and marvellous — stirring tales of individual adventure, aud the notes of the bagpipe and flute, were the means most frequently adopted for beguiling the way; that most of them were very much of the earth earthy so long aB they kept in mo tion; and that if by chance they raised their eyes to heaven it was generally, like the group described by Cervantes,to take aim at it with the end of a bottle. But a more singular misuse of pilgrimage remainßto be told. There are several in stances extant of persons who undertook these excursions for the express and only pur pose of stealing relics. A certain knightly devotee, who went forth to assist in transfer ring the remains of a celebrated saint to a new and gorgeouß shrine, managed to convoy a rib into his sleeve during the ceremony, and to Carry ito-off undetected. And Stephen, chanter to toe monastery of Angers, trudged barefoot through the whole length of France and lialy, all the way to Apulia, in order to purloin an arm of St. Nicholas, the miracu lous power of which had brought much glory and gain to the Abbey of Ban, and all but succeeded in the attempt. But unfortu nately for him his money ran short in the very nick of time, and in trying to dispose of the silver that enclosed the relic, the poor man was detected and the booty reclaimed. There was, how ever, Bomo liule excuse for these holy thieves. By this time it had become almost impossible to procure a genuine relic in any other way; for the graves of martyr and saint had been so thoroughly ransacked that not even a toe nail with any pretence to occult power .re mained unappropriated, and the few who endeavored to procure these things in the regular way of traffic invariably found themselves swindled; like the knigtit Albert of Stem, for instance, who employed a large portiun of his wealth (the plunder of many cumpaigus) In purchasing the skull of St. Anne. This be deposited with much pomp in the principal church of Rome,and received the next morning a small note from his chap men, the monks of Lyons, apprising him that be was “done,” for the true skull of St. Anne, as they wrote, had never once left their pos session, and never should. As a mutter of course every company of pilgrims had its sprinkling of loose charac ters, whose blandishments were only too suc cessful This, however, was very natural. The conscience whose catalogue of sins was so soon to become a tabula\raea, could not be expected to scruple much about adding a few more to the list. Nor was the fact that his old score had ceased to stare'a man in the face at all likely to deter him from commenc ing to run up a new one. But these repro bates were not altogether without their use. The occasional conversion of one of the most abandoned, at the close of a licentious cam paign, tended greatly to maintain the miracu lous rephte oLthe saint who had interposed to effect it. And though these converts were something given to backsliding, one or two of them, like St. Mary of Egypt, made such progress in grace as eventually rendered them good subjects for canonization, enshrinement and pilgrimage also. It was not difficult to graduate a pil grimage according to Inclination or iniquity. It might be made as short as a hunting mass, or as long as the Midgard, serpent that was Baid to encircle the world. Cologne and Compostella, Sinai and Ararat, the more famous places of resort, formed the ektremi ties of an enormous quadrangle, enclosing the Mediterranean; while lanes of lqsser but still sufficient note were plentifully strewn between. In most countries hospitals were maintained at every stage for the accommo dation of the pilgrim; and chivalry in arms kept watch and ward wherever he was in danger of pagan insult or aggression. For him the Teutonic brotherhood guarded the German forests; for him the knights of San tiago patrolled the Moorish frontier; and for him the galleys of Sl John maintained cease less and most gallant warfare with the merci less rovers of the Mediterranean. Kings aud councils took care of his interests w bile engaged in these holy excursions, and hedged his household and estate from all as sault. Debtors were forbidden to dun and enemies to assail, and the severest form of exaommunicatiou was denounced against his wife did she dare to contract another marriage during his ahse.nce. Of course there were exceptional places and periods wherein pil grimage became unusually perilous—as, for .instance, wheu about the middle of the fif teenth century a certain Italian nobleman es tablished himself in a strong castle on the road to Loretto, and amused himself for some time with robbing the male pilgrims and out raging the women. But these hitches in that pleasant fife were few and far between. Gen erally speaking, the pilgrim was a complete illustration of tie eastern proverb, for, no matter where he was thrown into the ever flowing Nile of pilgrimage, he was pretty sure to emerge with a fish in his mouth,and a loaf in his hand. The Bites of some prominent: shrines were designated by great events ; but by far the greater number owed their repute to the pos session of relics. A goodly number of these relics too, like Sir Boyle Roche’s bird, had the facul'y of gracing two places at once. The holy stairs—those which originally led to Pilate’s judgment seat —might be contem plated at Rume as well as at Bonn. , The holy cross existed in a complete state at Con stantinople, and in fragments all over the world, : One. monastery, displayed the head of a saint, another his head, and a third his head. And there were several examples of holy men who were first distributed piece meal among forty or fifty different abbeys, and then were, yet to be seen, unmutilated, under the guardianship of some unusually favored community. But it was not indis pensable tnat relics should always be saintly; it was sufficient it they happened to be very extraordinary. Thus, in one quarter might be seen the plume of a phoenix, presented by one of the popes; in another the mark that Cain bore about, on his forehead; and in a third the tip of Lucifer’s tail, lost in conflict with a Syrian hermit. When relics were not attainable, or were like to be overshadowed by noted matter of the sort in the neighborhood,recourse was had to picture, statue and trick, with very sub stantial results. Thuß, one place accumulated liberal crowds by a sweeping Madonna; an other by a crucifix exuding blood or oil; a third by a figure which groaned; while the good fathers of Breslau, more original still,at tracted and perplexed their visitors by a clever carving, which purported to represent THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA. THURSDAY,- JULY 16.1868. “the Devil wheeling his grandmother in a barrow.” , i-’j- Nor were shrines sought,” stints invoked, -Andrclics kissed on merely spirltuti grounds.. For all possible temporal afflictions—from a pestilence to a plague of rats—there . existed special remedies; and every, calamity sent forth crowds to prdfit by them.- ’ •Sti Lambert was the chosen physician-of the epileptic; St. Odille of the blind; St. Blaise was intalli- in the cure of sore throats; a journey to the shrine of St. Appollonia never failed to remove the toothache; and the barrenest stock grew prolific of olive branches when washed by the waves of the Jordan. But unques tionably the oddest prayer ever made at a shrine was that of, the good Knight Ralph, who “entreated that his body might be over spread with the foul disease of leprosy,so that his soul might be cleansed from sin,” and who, obtaining his desire, died Bix years afterward in the odor of sanctity. . Elibu Enrjritt on the “Black Country.” Elihu Burritt has just published in Eng land a new book, called “Walks in the Black Country and its Green Border-Land,” of which the London Examiner say s: “The greater part of this volume appears to have been written in the first instance as a report to the Department of State at Washington, from the Amerloan consulate at Birming ham. Mr. Burritt, the consul for that dis trict, afterwards introduced some more in teresting details respecting the scenery, pub lic buildings, and historical associations of the Black Country and its surroundings, in order to make it more readable to persons not deeply interested in the facta, figures and statistics of manufactures and trade contained therein. The author has thus worked up a pleasant volume, of necessity somewhat de sultory, but illuminated throughout by his fascinating eloquence. “The first few chapters treat of the politi cal and social history of Birmingham, of its great men of science, inventors, reform ers and artists; of Us institutions and public buildings; of the nse and progress of its me chanical and manufacturing industries and more important establishments. -We are afterwards introduced to the chief towns and; centres of industry of the neighborhood, in cluding the principal iron manufactories,glass works and the like. The later chapters, de voted to the ‘Green Border-land’ which sur rounds these centres of trade and commerce, and includes within it the famous historical names of Kenilworth and Coventry, of Lich field and Stratford-on-Avon, will be found the most interesting portion ©f the volume by the general reader. An extract from the intro ductory pages will afford a favorable specimen of Mr. Burritt’s picturesque-style: “ ‘The Black Country, black by day aud red by night, cannot be matched for vast and varied production by any other space of equal radius on the surface of the globe. It is a section of Titanic industry, kept in murky perspiration by a sturdy set of 1 Tubal Cains and Vulcans, week in, week out, and often seven days-to the week. Indeed, the Sunday evening halo it wears when the church bells are ringing to service on winter nights, glo vs “redder than the moon,” or like the moon dissolved at its full on the clouds above the roaring furnaces. It is a little dual world of itself, only to be gauged perpen dicularly. The better half, it may be, faces the sun ; but the richer half, •- averted thence, looks by gaslight towards the central fires. If that subterranean half could be fur an hour inverted to the sun; if its inky vaults and tortuous pathways; and all its black roofed chambers could be but once laid open to the light of day, the spectacle would be a world’s wonder, especially if it were unco vered when all the thousands of the subterra nean roadmakers, or the bBgrimmed armies of pickmen were bendipg to their work. What a neighing of the pit horses would come up out of those deep coal-craters at the sight and sense of the sunlight! What black and dripping forests of timber would be dis closed, brought from all the wild, wooded lands of Norway, Sweden and Canada, to prop up the rough vaults and sustain the ex cavated acres undermined by the pick!’ * *. * ‘ ‘ ‘The Black Country is beauti fully framed by a green borderland ; and that border is rich and redolent with two beauti ful wealths, the sweet life of nature’s happi est springs and summers, and the hive and romance of England’s happiest industries. ■Plant, in imagination, one foot of your com pos at the Town Hail, in Birmingham, and with the other sweep a circle of twenty-iniles radius, and you will have “The Black Coun try,” with all its industries, in a green velvet -binding inwrought or tapestried with histori cal scenes and early playgrounds of brilliant imagination and poetical fiction. Just pass the gauging-rod of mechanical enterprise through the volume from Coventry to Kidder minster, and see what specimens- of handi craft it will bring out and show, like a string of beads of infinite variety of tint ing and texture. See what wares intervene between the two opposite extremities—be tween the ribbons of Coventry and the car pets of Kidderminster; or between the salt bars of Droitwich and the iron bars of Wol verhampton. Then let the history-miner run his rod through and see what gems he will bring out between . Lichfield Cathedral and Baxter’s Church at Kidderminster, or be tween Stratford-on-Avoffflind Kenilworth or Warwick Castle. Let him notice what man ner of men have lived within this circuit, and what manner of mark their lives and thoughts made upon it and upon the wide circum ference of the world, let him travel from rim to rim of the district, and study its physical conformation and its natural scene ries, and he will recognize their symmetry with the histories and industries with which it teems.’ ” BROWN, BROTHERS & CO., No. 211 Chestnut Street, Issue CommercialCredits',, also, Circular Lettersoj Credit for Travelers, available in any part of the World. \ Jeao Bm* ROBERT, M.

Nelson is ad dressing a crowd of two thousand persons. Great enthnsissm prevails, and cheer after cheer goes up.for Grant and Colfax.” Bow (be No(varil _ Meadows are uraincd. The Newark Courier describes the pro cess of drjdning the New Jersey salt meadows: .. , t . “About twenty or thirty feet from the river s edge the base lines of the bank are drawn to the required length, a distance of twenty feet apart, and the ground between thenl cleared. In the centre of this long rib bon, as it were, iron plates, six feet long, are forced into the sod to a depth of four feet, leaving two above the surface. Each plate is three feet wide, has a knii&like lower edge, and is closely jointed with its neighbor on either side, bo that when all are fixed a con tinuous iron shield is formed, and the soil disturbed no more than the- thrusting of a saw would effect. This is the iron ‘core,' or backbone of the bank. The heavy clay un derlying the alluvium of the marsh is How built np from the outer lines to a height of six feet, smoothed and made compact.. Oyer this a coating of the rich marsh soil is laid, which serves as a bed for grass and creeping plants, whose interlacing roots shall bind and bold the whole together. . . “Thus we have a solid impervious bank, protected from the weather by vegetation, .firm in the pyramidal form given it, higher than the highest tides, and impenetrable by the most industrious of borers. The only danger which threatens it arises from the rusting or oxidation of the iron plates, and this as far as possible has been provided for. Every refinement which iron receives in the furnace deprives it of some properties which the crude ore possessed when it first came from the earth. Oxidation is the process by •which these are regained; and the greater the loss of original properties, the greater the tendency of the iron to regain them. The fine&t steel is the readiest rusted. To pre vent this tendency to oxidation the iron for the plates has been submitted to one smelting only, and is thuß but one degree removed from the crude metal, which does not rust at all. But some properties have been lost, and oxidation will undoubtedly take place, yet so slowly, owing to the iron being buried in its mother earth, and-to the above reason, that by the time the plates are useless there will be no use for them. Stone walls, wharfs and piers will have taken the place of earthen banks. “Having thus- kept the water out,'that ■within has to be dealt with. Three feet-from the base of the bank on the land side, a wide -ditch is cut to the depth of six feet, lower by two than low water mark. Into this water ■way smaller ditches open, which cross and intersect each other, at the distance of a few Tods, over the whole surface of the marsh, from every square foot of the ground the sur face water drains into these, Irom Y the dead furrows left in ploughing and by force ot •gravity falls into the deeper channel prepared for it There being five feet ot water in this with low water mark where it is,four feet of water can be run off with each recession of the tide. For this purpose it is usual on •other lands to employ flood gateß, opening and closing by the action of the ebb and flow, but the objection to these is that the tide must come halfway up before it can close them, and thU3 daily return a large portion of y , the salt water. To avoid this On the Hack ensack marshes,screw sluices are raised when the tide has gone out,and closed immediately the turn takes place, thus when once the salt water has left the ditch,not one drop can find its way to a return. , “There still however, two feet of fluid to account*for, and this is thrown out by pumping engines. At East ‘Newark, the western terminus of the dyke, there is a mon ster of this Species, discharging fifteen thou sand gallons a minute, but as it would be too expensive to keep thlß constantly at work, .recourse is had to the Dutch system of wind mills, and six of; these machines, now con structing; Will be . placed along the embank ment after the work, is entirely completed. Thus as long as the wind blows .the pumping will go on, till the marsh becomes hot a pas ture field, nor a market garden,but a populous mid busy city. v “The embankment commences on the mortfc side of the New Jersey Railroad bridge, proceeds along the margin of the river to Saw 1 Mill creek, follows the course of this South westerly, to Frank Creek at Schuyler’s Cor ner, and ehds'at East Newark. It has a total length of ten and a quarter miles, with river face of six and a half miles, and an inland course of three and three-quarter miles.. It •encloses an area of nearly five thousand acres, ground fit for pasturage, for farm cultiva- tion, for market gardens and.for building purposes." ■ 'l Aceommodntlnsr Judge. . The following'.story—only the concluding portionof told of-Judge j —, of Jackson, Texas, and John Rolph, a backwoodsman. .Rolph, a toll hunter, dressed in deerskin, and armed with revolver, rifle and bowie knife, visits Jackson, calls on the Judge at bis residence (with the narrator), and thus relieves bis mind: “You pee, Judge, early day before yester day morning I started for thu place, and, as I wouldn’t chisel, I went without eating all day. I slept in the woods, and yesterday morning I got up as hungry as a panther; and as I walked along, thinks I, what am I to do? I never see game so scarce—there wasn’t' so much as a squirrel to be seen. I’m above cheating any man out of his. dinner, blit I felt that a dinner I must have. Just tbeu a fellow coines riding along tbe rood. I talked to him, and tried to borrow, swearing to pay at any place he might name iu a week, but the critter told me he paid his way out of his own pocket, and he’d too little to divide.” “Bfow much have.you got?” says L’ “Two fifty," says he. ' “Now. thinks I, that is too little to divide. 80, while he was looking the other way I shoots him through the head, and give him as decent a burial as I could, under aa old log, and took the two dollars and a half. But it won’t do; my conscience misgives me. I’m sorry for it,and wish the fellow had his money back, if he could be alive. Between’you and me, as it is too late for that, I think I ought to be hung." , The Judge called his little black boy, or dered three papers of tobacco,and we smoked in silence. 1 “ Then' you really think you ought to be hung?” he said, with compassion, as he wbilfed a cloud of smoke toward the ceil ing. “ I do, in fact,” answered Rolph, emitting a similar volume of vapor. The Judge smoked away, and considered again. , “ Well, we’ll try to hang you,” he added. There wbb, an expression of gratitude in Rolph’s eye, os he replied: “Thank you. That will ease my con science.” ...... The Judge again knocked the ashes from his pipe, and spoke; ; .“Well, come here in half an hoar.. I'll try to get a jury.” Kolph and myself, laying our pipes on the table, were about leaving, when the Judge asked us to .take a drink, which haying done, we hade him good morning. ■ >- ’ At the expiration of naif an hour, we returned, when we found twelve men drink ing and sihoking with the magistrate, await ing us. We were politely requested to sit down. “Now,” 6aid the judge, addressing himself to Rolph, “tell these gentlemen what you have already told me." Whereupon Rolpb repeated the statement he had before made. “Now, gentlemen," continued the first speaker, “I wish to say, if this gentleman —Mr. Rolph your name is, eh ? well, there's some fine old brandy; make yourselves per fectly at home—whether, gentlemen, you find John Rolph guilty or not guilty of mur der, In addition to what he said, I will ob serve - for your information, that I sent out and found the body just where he stated it to be.” The jury smoked, rose up, took- brandy and water, and then sat down again and smoked in silence foreome time. At last one of them, who appeared to be the foreman, said:*.! “The case is tolerably clear,and werather think he’s guilty.” , “There's more tobacco oh the ; fable,’-’ said the Judge, “the best you can find any where. Ton have heard what these gentlemen have said, Rolph? Well,” he continued, a, little uneasily, “I don’t like to’tell you in my Own house, but —”, - “Let that be no hindrance,” said Rolph, filling his pipe. -■'* “Well, then,” continued the Judge, “come here at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning and I'll have you hung.” Rolph looked disconcerted' and appeared mortified at the idea of asking a favor. “You —you have been so kind to me,” said he, hesitatingly, “that 1 hardly like to ask for anything more.” “Not at all,” replied the Judge. “Out with it; you are welcome to it before you ask." “Well,” said Rolph, “I wish—to-morrow is my ague day, and the shakes come on at ten —would you be so good as to hang me at nine?” “With the greatest of pleasure," answered the good-hearted Judge,shaking Rolph by the hand. “Nine it shall be.” Accordingly John Rolph went to the inn, paid his bill, and the next morning was hung as the clock struck nine. The Abyssinian Treasures. Tbat man’s time must be of little value being attracted to South Ken sington yesterday by the promised display of Abysßinan treasures, did not experience a "slight sense of disappointment when they were unveiled. The title is a misnomer, apd the exhibition a farce. The things shown are well enough as trophies taken from a barbarous enemy, but it is an error in judg ment to suppose they are worth a special pilgrimage to South Kensington to see. The word treasure has an imposing sound, and suggests Oriental magnificence and . barbaric splendor. It would also be appropriate to the cellarß of the Bank of England, or the raw material of the mint. But the visitors at South Kensington yesterday were loud in their pro tests against its misapplication there, and it is perhaps wiser to explain at once of what the Abyssinian treasures consist. They are all contained in a glass case of the size and B bape of a large Punch and Judy Bhow. This, stands in the centre of the north room of the museum,and was enclosedyesterday bya can vas screen, behind which’only the representa tives of the press were admitted until a speci fied hour had passed. Then the canvas was removed by the officials, and the waiting and eagerly expectant crowd was permitted to feast their eyes on a couple of robes worn by the .-King, some silver seals, 'arid a large and handsome one of gilt metal and pebbles, engraved by . Messrs. Strongi’th’arm; a crown of crimson velvet and metal, and another of cloth and silver; what looked- like a greasy: tobacco : pouch, and a pair of slippers lately worn by Abys sinia’s Queen. This was absolutely all, and there .was something ludicrous in the disap pointment expressed by the public. It is difficult to say exactly what was expected; but it was obvious that the late King Theo dore fell rapidly in the estimation of those present When the extent and character of the treasures .captured "from, him were under stood. One of the robes,is of the golden and flowered brocade we are accustomed to see in old pictures and at burlesques or -masquerades. It seems quite new,, and the coarse yellow thread of its “tacking” has never been removed.. The other is of blue silk, arid is covered with a variety of small steel ornaments, fashioned in the shape of instruments of war, and with what looks like the model of a helmet with a centre spike r decorating its middle. It', is armless, and without opening |n back or front, so that his 188 DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY.

The cloth' cap seems to be an ordinary crimson fez ornamented with metal, and is very like the one worn by Theodore in the conventional portraits in the shop windows. The blue robe is of the child’s pinafore shapewe have oeen accus tomed to in Pizarro, and -heroic-dramas of its class. It bus seen service, and it needs but a slight effort of the fancy to. realize the bare, dusky arms protruding from i', as its warrior wearer led on bi 3 troop 3 _to battle. But viewed in the light pf an exhibition, a 3 those present evidently regarded them yes terday, the Abyssinian treasures are p >or. They recall the beads and shells of a more art less savage than the’ barbarian with whom we have waged war. They -give, however, a curious insight into the sort of state . kept up by Theodore, and show, almost painfully, its hollownesß and pretence. —London News, July 2. The Manheim Gamp Meeting. The opening ceremonies of the camp meeting at Manhefm, will take place this week. Up wards of three hundred tents have already been put up, and many more will be erected before the end of this week. The woods on which the meeting is to be held lies on_the Lebanon rdad; nearly two miles north of the railroad station at Manheim; and belongs to D. F. Hamaker. The encampment is m a beautiful grove; and is in the form of an oval. The tents, which encircle the amphitheatre, are divided by avenues and streets. Tents can be hired on the ground, at two dollars for an A tent, $4 for a Wall tent, 9x9 feet, $7 for an hospital tent, 14x14 feet Board for the term often days will be famished for $7, or $1 per day, or 50 cents for a single meal.

The project of publishing a daily newspaper at the camp has been abandoned.. Toepedo Mill Explosion at Reno, Pa. —About 10 o’clock yesterday morning the citizens living,in and near Reno were startled and alarmed by a most frightful explosion, that shook the earth in the vicinity with so much force as to threaten the destruction of the houses in the town. There was a general rush to the windows, doors, and to the Btreets, and on looking toward the railroad depot the citizens beheld a cloud of dust and smoke arising from the spot where just a moment previously had stood a building which was used as a manufactory for the Reed torpedo. In a few moments a crowd of persons colledted near the scene of the disaster. The building in which the manufactory was located was blown to atoms, , and scarcely a vestige of it re mained. Ilr. F. T., Munson, the agent of the Reed Company, was the only person in the building at the time of the explosion. His body was found lifeless and shockingly mutilated, at about three himdred feet dis tant. Two other buildings in the vicinity were partially demolished. One of these was occupied by Mr.. Munson’s .family, but fortu nately none of them were injured. The frag ments of the building that contained' the manufactory were blown in every direction, and one of them entered a window of Mr. C. V. Culver’s residence, striking and slightly injuring Miss Culver. There were about one thousand five hun dred pounds of powder of differed; varieties in the manufactory just before the explosion, besides ten or fifteen loaded torpedoes. The cause of the explosion is shrouded in mys tery—Titusville_Nerald2_Jjdyii‘_ mm _ mm FRENCH MEDICINES SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE OF IKON, By Leraa, M.

It agree* neat with the stomach, never causes costiveness; it contains the ele mci th of the blood and the osseous frame, and succeeds where other preparations fail, such os Vallet’s pills, iron reduced by. hydrogen, lactate of irop, and ferruginous mineial water. One tablespoonful of the solution or syrup contains three grains of salt of iron. They ore both colorless. children's Diseases—lodized Syrup of This syrup contains lodine combined with the juice of watercress, boree-radi*h and scurvy-grass, in which iodine and eulphur exitt naturally, and for this reason it is an excellent substitute for cod liver oil, which is gene rally eupi'osed to owe it* efficacy to the presence of iodine. Ibelodized Syrup of Boreeradiah invariably produces ffiost satisfactory results administered to children suffer ing from lymphatism. rachitism, congestion of the glands of the neck, or the various eruptions on the face so fre quent during infancy. It is also the be*t remedy for the hret stage of Consumption. Being at once tonic and do purative, it excites the appetite, promotes digestion, and ret tores to the tissues their natural hrmneas and vigor. Dr. Durin Du Duisson’s Digestive Lo zenges of tbei Alkaline Lactates* The Alkaline Lactates exercise the most beneficial in fluence over the derangements of digestion, eituer by their peculiar action on the muenoua membrane of the stomach, or by affording to the latter through their com bination with the saliva to the gastric mice a supply of lactic acid, which all English, French and other physiolo gists-admit to be an essential principle of digestion. For the information ef those who may be without medical advice, it may be stated hero that the symptoms Of im paired digestion are: Headache, pain in the forehead, heniicronia, gastritis, gastialgia, heartburn, wind in tho stomach and bowels* loss of appetite, emaciation, &c. A syrup compounded with this now salt has been intro duced by Dr. Churchill, for the treatment of pulmonary phthisis. Recent trials made at the Bromnton Consmnp tii n Hospital, an institution especially devoted to the treatment of diseases of the chest, have abundantly de monstrated the absolute necessity of obtaining, this new therapeutic agent in tho most perfectly pure and natural condition. Each table spoonful of syrup contains four grains of perfectly pure hypophosphite of lime; and as compounded by MM Grimault&Co , of Paris, the syrup is the only preparation which guarantees fo tho medical profession ail the properties required in this valuable medicine.
