AUTUMN LEAF. I wonder what has vanished from the world; It was so bright a little while ago, Unit now wo leaves upon the branches curled Hang Ivearily, Just swaying to and fro. A Cbritespondent of the Pall Mall Gazette has been making the round of those quarters of Paris which are seldom shown in the pictures we get of Parisian life. The follow ing is his account of a visit to the Carriftres de l’Amerique: “On our left hand we notice a long wind ing flight of rude steps, hewn out ©f the soft stone, leading evidently to the tops of the kilns, the fires from which we had already remarked; after a moment’s hesitation we decide upOA ascending them. On reaching the summit ,of the mound we find we are in the midst of a large desolate trad of broken ground, with several large open sheds at some distance in front of us, but considerably towards our left. Pre sently we observe three men issu ing from out the darkness —two of whom apparently descend the hill in the direction of the road by which we had entered the quarries, while the third advances slowly over the broken ground that intervenes be tween ourselves and him. As ho approaches he branches off on a sudden in a like direc tion to that taken by his companions. This gives us Borne concern. It looks as if these men were taking ub in the rear. Therefore we advance at once towards the last men tioned individual, who still continues in sight.

THE DARK SIDE OF PARISIAN LIFE. llic Cnrricres do I’Amerlqne. THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA. FRIDAY, JULY 17,1868. 'minute we find ourselves in front of the “arched entrance to a dark-gallery overhung with clusters of tall, slender trees. Striking a light, we penetrate some little distance into this subterranean gallery, burning lucifer matches bb we advance; but there is nothing remarkable to be seen in it, and so we are content to take our guide’s description of its extent. He iSlorma us that the chief gallery is nearly a mile in length, in a straight direc tion, in addition to Which there are numerous short branches. It then makes a deep de scent and extends for a considerable distance further. “When the police come,as they periodically do at night time, in a body some forty or fifty strong, and after planting a cordon round the quarries, make a seizure _of everybody whom they can catch within its circuit, the more experienced habitues, our guide ia formed us, invariably make for this tunnel and secrete themselves in,one or other of its many galleries until ail danger of arrest has passed away. It was only on rare occasions, he said, that the police ventured to explore these subterranean passages,as a considerable number of men provided with lighted torches was requisite for this duty; moreover, ■ they never thought it worth while to leave a guard to watch the entrance, as the chances were the men they wished to capture would sneak out with some of the regular workmen, and so escape. “The men who frequent the quarries when surprised by the police very rarely venture upon resistance; still, about eighteen months ago, some desperate ruffians, who knew well enough what their fate would, be if they allowed themselves to be captured, seized hold of the first police agents who darted suddenly upon them and tried to throw them into the burning furnaces; luckily, however, without success. Among a party captured on ODe occasion was a man Who claimed to be a French viscount When asked, accord ing to the Usual practice, what trade or pro fession he followed, he replied that he shelled walnuts for the market people at the ‘halles. ’ Another man, taken at the same time, said he had been a banker. “We now returned to the man in charge of the kiln fires, and entered Into conversation with him. He informed us that the people who frequented the quarries usually left by four o’clock in the morning or earlier; at any rate, when the workmen arrived at five o’clock they invariably found the place per fectly clear. From what this man told us, it appeared that a sort of tacit understanding existed between the people connected, with the quarries on the one hand and the vaga bonds who frequent them on the other. Tue former allow the latter to remain in undis turbed possession of the place during the night time, and in return for tnis act of civility tho thieves and vagrants who profit by it never damage the kilns, neither do they ever carry away the more heavy tools which the work men leave behind them. “Borne time ago the proprietor of a portion of the quarries complained to t(be police of the unauthorized invasion of his property at un seasonable hours, which resulted in the vagrants being kept away for a time, but one night they revenged themselves by setting fire to an immense stack of faggots, valued at, six thousand francs, since which occasion they have never been interfered with. The same man assured us that a few years ago gangs of fellows used to congregate round the entrance to the Carrieres, and rob any work man employed tnere who was imprudent enough to sally forth alone. Men engaged' at the quarries of an evening used also to be plundered of the bread and wine they had provided themselves with. Only a little more than a year ago a gang of fellows, he told us, brought a whole sheep which they had stolen with them to the quarries, and skinned, jointed, cooked and eat up every scrap of it before daylight.” Italian Tottery unit Gluss-Haltinsr* The early celebrity of Italian pottery (says . the Fall Mali Gazette) is attested by the French word for earthenware— -Jaience — which is only a corruption of the name bf the Italian town Faenza ; and its flourishing condition in past ages is shown by the works 1 now so eagerly sought for, in which the ge- , nius of Italian art is displayed. But the present commercial importance of this branch of industry in Italy does not equal the histori cal interest that belongs to it. Production is limited,not exceeding the value of 3,200,000 francs in porcelain and earthenware of all kinds, while the value of the importations from foreign countries amounts to a somewhat larger sum. One porce lain manufactory, that of Doccia, near Flo rence, seems to deserve special notice. This establishment, the property of the Marquis Ginovi, is chiefly remarkable for the success ul imitations which it produces of old majo lica. The total annual value of the articles made in it is estimated at about 320,000 francs. The introduction of the art of glass making into modern Europe is due to the Venetians, wno, until comparatively late times, ,en joved an undisputed superiority in it. They discovered the means of render ing glass colorless by the employment of manganese. They had the monopoly of mirrors, the silvermg of which was a secret long kept from other countries. But the mir rors of Venice have now lost their reputation, Lhe manufactures of this place being unable to produce plates equal in dimensions to tnose made by their foreign competitors. Glass beads became at an early period an important article of trade with Africa and the East. They are still made in considerable quantities for exportation. Venetian enamels have al ways been famous, and among the peculiar productions of this place may be reckoned the beautiful composition called aventurine, the secret of which is said to be in the possession of a single manufacturer. Some articles, such as heads, are made to a certain extent in the city of Venice itself, but the great-glass works are to be found at Murano, one of the islands of the Lagoon. This little island, which had at one time 30,000 inhabitants, formerly enjoyed a sort of local independence, with distinct laws and institutions. It had a wealthy nobility of its own, whose names were inscribed in a sepa rate golden book. Its privileges have dis appeared, its population and riches have de clined, but its industrial establishments are still active and show signs of prosperity. Be fore the fall of the old Venetian Republic the glassmakers constituted a close corporation with exclusive privileges. The trade was thrown open in 180 G, under the government of the then kingdom of Italy, and a period of keen competition and low prices ensued, until the year 1848, when the conditions of the trade.were regulated by an • agreement among the manufacturers. The number of persons employed in glass making at Murano and Venice is 6,000, of whom one-third are men, and two-thirds women and children. The highest wages are - for men, twelve franca; tor women,one franc fifty centimes; the lowest for men tw> francs, and for women seventy-five centimes. The annual cost of the substances employed in the manufacture is estimated at betweet 6,000,000 and 7,000,000 francs, and that of the fuel Consumed at 600,000 francs. The gross receipts obtained come to little more than double this aggregate amount The principal markets for Venetian glass are in France, England, Germany,and,above all,in the East, i where there iB a constant demand for me i beadß and other articles, known by the de l nomination of “Conterie.” • (lIIALK— -46 TONo OK CHALK AFLOAT.

BepnMlcan Speech itom a Georgian. The Hon. James L. Seward resides at ThomaSville, in Southern Georgia, but a fev miles from tbe Florida, line.' He is well known in all that country called in Georgia tbe Wire-grass Region, and possesses great influence. He has been in the Congress of the United States, and in 1858 beat General Bartow (killed on the rebel side at first Bull Run} for that office. He is a thirougn Georgian, a man of great popularity, and superior social position. Mr. Seward ' addressed the people of At lanta yesterday evening, and had the Hall of Representatives crowded to hear him. Tne manner and bearing of the audience was in striking contrast with that addressed by Toombs. Alt present were AJjrock with the difference. Mr. Seward speaks with great energy and vehemence, and, from the man ner in which all hung upon his words, it was evident that his opinions are sought for with eagerness. He opened somewhat thus: ‘ •Fellow Citizens: —I appear before you as a Georgian to speak to Georgians; to ad dress you on the great questions before tbe country. I desire to wound the feelings of no one. I wish to address your reason, and not your passions. Do you know that you are on the eve of a revolution? I tell you it is. sa I was in the Charleston Conven tion when the late revolution was inaugu rated. I opposed secession then, and was • denounced for it. What is the result ? To day we are the poorest people in the world. .If .Generals Toombs and Cobb made so sad a mistake then, I warn you not to follow them now.- You followed them through four years of bloody war, which has left the country filled with widows and orphans, deprived of means of support, and our people a con quered and oppressed race. But I forgive them, and . will not say that they were not patriotic; but they made a mistake. While at Washington in 18G1, they were con tinually sending telegraphic despatches advis ing Georgia to secede. I don’t charge them with crime,but Ido say they made a sad mis take then,and are unsafe leaders now. Public liberty is loßt, and how shall we regain it ? . We are a conquered people, and must accept such terms as the conqueror dictates. I assert that Andrew Johnson put worse terms-upon us than the Radical party has ever imposed. He appointed a Provisional Governor; a con vention was called; the ordinance o’f seces sion annulled; a Legislature and State Govern ment provided for; and what followed? Why Andrew Johnson actually required, at the point of the bayonet, that we should abolish slavery after it had been abolished by military power and the “proclamations of the Presi dent. ms VIEW OF THE SITUATION, “The reconstruction acts of Congress were not the first terms submitted to the people of the South. We rejected the first and more .liberal terms submitted'to us, thus still show- ing- a spirit of opposition to the Government. The reason why these reconstruction ltws were imposed upon us was, that the North ern people believed the Southern leaders were opposed to reconstruction. All of this has beenthoresoltof-theteacbio'gs-ofsuchmun as Toombs, Cobb and Ben. Hill. “If you accept the constitutional amend ment, known as Article 14, you will, by that means, ynt the suffrage question in the hands of the people of the State. THE NKOKO. • “I do not look upon the enfranchisement of the negroes in light as Toombs, Cobb and other leaders of the Democratic parly do. They take the position that the en franchisement of the negro degrades the white man. “The elevation of the negro does not de grade the White man. And I tell you, colored people, if the North says you have a right to vote in the South, and admit you to the right of citizens, you have the right to demand that they admit you to the same rights and privi leges in the North. I doa’t admit that the Southern people are inferior to any race on the earth. We are conquered, and ,the North has put harsh measures upon us, but let us accept them, and get the State under the con trol of the people of the State. .The four teenth article will become a part of the Con stitution, whether Georgia adopts it or not. North and South Carolina and Florida will soon adopt it, and whether Georgia adopts it ornot,if she returns to the Union she will have to accept it . SUPPOSE SETMOmt ELECTED. “But the Democracy think if Seymour is elected, these reconstruction measures will be set aside. Well, let us see. Suppose they elect Seymour, together with a majority in the House of Kepresentatives, they can’t change the Senate for four years to come. Then what will they do ? Will tney. inaugu rate a revolntion with Seymour at the head and take possession of the government, and turn the Senate out 1 If so, why has not Andy Johnson, as Commander-in-chief of the army and navy, done this neretofore ? I tell you the people of the North will stand by the government, and no matter what they tell yon about fighting for your rights in op position to the government, they will not do it when the test comes. We were deceived by that cry in 1801. I tell you, if they can’t get any body else to fight you, they will fight you w ith the paupers of Europe and tUe ne groes. SENSIBLE TALK “The negro is a dangerous political element in this country, because they are abused, driven to it. All of this is the result of the teachings of such men as Hill, Toombs and Cobb. Let them stop their abusive harangues, and my word lor it, the military will be re moved from Georgia in sixty days. Tue press, also, has been a great power in engen dering strife in Georgia. It has endeavored to arouse all the bad passions of the people in these trying times. Let us cease this strife, accept the condition imposed upon us with the best grace possible, and restore the people and the B ate again to peace and prosperity. Our people want peace, and I feel confident that a majority of them are satisfied that if the acceptance of the reconstruction'measures would restore peace, they would say accept them.” The bold and open accession of such a man as James L: Beward to the Republican party is significant, we trust, of the wanting in fluence of proscription aud ostracism, here tofore so effectual hero in prevenliug men ftom declaring their political sentiments. In Ohio it is easy to be a Republican. There are none to molest or trouble you fir it. But here! It may be as much as your comfort, your peace; your prosperity, your reputation, your property, your personal safety, aye—as in Ashburn’s case —as much as your life is worth. —Georgia Cor. Cin. Commercial. BLOCK ISLASD« Scenes and Incidents in an Out*of>the« 11 uy Place. A correspondent of the Auburn (N. Y.) News, writes from Block Island : The passage from Newport to Block Island is made in an open sail boat, which runs once or twice a week, carries the mail and passengers, and is the connecting link between the Island and the world. All the wants of the islanders are supplied and their errands and business accomplished by the boat Of course they watch for its return from Newport with great interest When it appears in sight the news is quickly passed from one neighbor to another ; business is suspended, and all gather about the landing for news and bundles, and follow the mail bag to a store of all articles, from pork to muslin. The postmaster makes his way through the crowd, unlocks the mailbag and dumps the contents on the counter. He Lakes the letters and reads the names aloud ; to each name is a response of “Here,” and a hand stretched out to receive the letter, if any man or woman whose name is called is not present, seme neighbor says, “I'll take that;" and so the mail is distribu.ed. The boat is a strong, scbooner-built,rough looking craft- We tound it filled with our own and other passengers, baggage, with bundles of all shapes, with wooden firkins, which serve as valises, with chans and iron utensils; in short, will almost every article, from yeast to gravestones, which were in scribed with the names and ages of the dead. We seated ourselves on these articles in all positions. The Captain came on board and took the helm and we were off. In reply to the question, “How far is it to Block Island?” a man said about thirty mites, but that we should have a longer sail than that, as the winds were contrary. His prediction proved true. We had our money's worth of sailing, We were ten hours in the boat, and sailed some ninety miles. We were reminded of the man wno, while rapidly walking away from Taunton, asked a boy, “How far it was to that place ?” The boy looked at him for a moment "and then replied: “Wa’ll, about twenty-five thousin’ mile if you keep right on, and half a mile if ye turn squar’ round and go t’pther way.” The crew consisted of the Captain and one man, but there were several sea-captains and Bailors on bpard, who reside on the island, all of whom assisted, gave advice, and called out something that sounded like orders. The Cap tain took it all pleasantly, and- said, with a smile, that the boat had plenty of comman ders. These sailors had fine open counten ances, somewhat brown and weather beaten, and under their homely garbs, most courteous and kindly manners. They tried to accom modate us with the best seats, arranged places for the Bick to lie down, and tenderly covered them with shawls. Our 'heads were some what exposed to the rigging,, by means of our seats on the above mentioned articles, and when the order came, as it did quite Often, < hard-a-le(4’ and the sails were drawn over to the otheraide, they took care of us all, while they assisted in the change. An old whaler, seated in the bows, told some remarkable yarns, one of which was, that on a whaling voyage he "chanced to be swimming along side of the l ship, wheln he suddenly saw an immense whale bearing downupon him with great force. It would not do to dive under him, and it was of no use to try to get astern of him, and trying to escape forward of him would be certain de struction. The whale came rapidly on with his ponderous jaws wide open. The man made a feint ot swimming before him, but TEE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JULY 17,1868. suddenly tacked, and went through the open jaws before the monster had ■ time to shut his mouth and swallow him; then v . o the whale was recovering from bis as > meet at this evasion, the man got astern of him, -j-eacbedlbe-ship.harpooDed-thewhalOrand secured the prize. During the shouts and ' laughter which followed this account, some one compared bis case to Jonah, but he did Dot allow that there wad any similarity. ! “Jonah," be said, “was a landsman and a I lubber to get inside of a whale, anyhow, and j tbeD, Jonah was a parson.” From this he digressed into a statement ■ of his theological views, which, on account of the noise, we heard but partially. There was a look of humor which twin kled in the eyes of these men as they, joked and told stories, but no unseemly word was spokcD: neither did we perceive drunkenness, profanity, or,tobacco on board, though these are supposed to pertain to sailors.' One of the passengers went as far forward as possible and 'lighted a pipe. When the first faint idea reached the Btem there were half a dozen remonstrances from our Block Island sailors—no smoking while ladies are on hoard—rand the offender immediately put up his pipe, aud apologized by saying that he thought as the ladies were in the stern they would not mind it We bad a variety of weather. Sometimes a fog; once a slight squall, which obliged them to take in the sails—but mostly brigut, sun shiny, and a fine, though contrary breeze. The sailors took frequent turns at the helm, and once, when we were threatened with a calm, a new hand took the the helm,and there immediately sprang up a fine breeze; upon which he said: ‘lf you want to raise a breeze put theAevil at the helm.’ We werej told that ? sometimes there ■ was a calm, and the boat was twenty-four hours beating down. We.were therefore tbankfal, when, after uncountable tackings, some long, some short, we approached Block Island. “We came in from the northeast, and the first land seen is a bluff of nearly one hundred feet high, from which the land recedes west ward.with a gentle swell until it terminates in a long, narrow beach, running to the north west, and on this needle of land are situated two lighthouses. To the south and southeast of the high headlands, which are the proper front of the island, the land makes a gentle curve inwards—at least one-third of a circle, in one of the finest beaches in the country, being three‘miles ‘ long, and of exquisite smoothness, and so hard that a horse can canter on it as easily as on a Nicolson pave ment. Beyond the beach the land again rises in high bluffs round the south Bide of the Island, some points of which are two hun fcrod feet high, and covered with beautiful 'green grass. Tbeie are many beautiful lakes, varying ia size from one acre to one thousand acres, which add greatly to the beauty of the scenery. The land is highly cultivated aad productive, and there are no frosts till De cember. There are numerous springs on the island, and some of them hold large quantities. of iron in solution. They are highly medicinal and tonic, as well as agree able. The sands on the beach are so full of silicate of iron as to give them a beautiful variegated or rather grained appearance. In this secluded spot, one weary of con ventional life might find the seclusion .of a hermit; and her e 0 lulled by the eternal mur mur of the sea, pass the long Bummer days, ‘.be world forgetting, by the world forgot.’ ihe charm, however, of such retirement, would be much increased by two or three friends, at least, to whom you could say, ‘How sweet is solitude.’ . For sixteen years Mr. (Juiney was the President of Harvard College—a difficult and laborious office, in which he displayed ex traordinary tact, good sense and good nature. His son tells us, that, during 'the whole six teen years of his presidency, he was never absent from the six o’clock morniog prayers but three times; and that was occasioned by his bring obliged to attend a distant court as a witness on behalf of the College. Upon resigning his presidency, though he was then an old man, past seventy, he was still ap parently in the very prime of his powers, and he lived many years after in the enjoyment of the most perfect health, and of scarcely diminished vigor. It concerns us all to know the secret of such health and longevity as this. His father died very young, and his mother in middle life. Nor had any of his parental ancestors lived beyond seventy four. | In the first place, he was strictly temperate i in the use of intoxicating drinks, almost to j total abstinence. At breakfast and at night he ate moderately and of plain food. At dinner, which he had the good sense to eat in the middle of the day, he ate heartily of what ever was set before him. He discovered, 1 many years ago.how important perfect clean liness is to the preservation of health, and he made a frequent use of the bath tub, the flesh brush, and the hair gloves. He was an ex ceedingly early riser. He was addicted to no vice whatever. His life was blameless and cheerful. He indulged none of the passions which waste the vitality and pervert the char acter. All his objects were such as a rational and virtuous man could pursue without self reproach, and with the approbation of tbe wise and good. Thus living, he attained nearly to the age of ninety-three, enjoying life almost to the last hour, and passing away 88 peacefully and painlessly as a child goes to sleep. A He was an eminently handsome man,from youth (p extreme old age. His fine set of teeth he kept entire until his death; and this, do doubt, had much to do with preserving the health of his body and the proportions of his countenance. His son says, that a bast of him taken in his prime, by Horatio Green ougb, might well pass for the head of an Apollo or Jupiter. Of all the myriads of men that have lived and labored on' this earth since its creation, I question if there has ever been one who lived, upon the whole, a better life than Josiah Quincy, of Massachusetts. He had a sound constitution, and took care ofit; he had a good mind, and improved it; he bad an excellent wife, and appreciated her value; he had a good fortune, and did not abuse it; he lived in a good country, and faithfully served it; he had an enlightened re ligion, and lived up to it.— Parton, in N.
