[Among the numerous after-dinner speeches
and other proceedings of our Minister to Eng
land there was one which has not found its

in The Swine Herds' Gazette. of that
place.
The health of the American Minister was
then drunk with the usual honors. Mr. John
son said:
.Mr. Mayor ; Mr. ChLirman and Gen
tlemen of the Saline rierds' Association :
I thank you most cordially for the warm
greeting which you have given me, and for
the enthusiasm which the mention of my
name has created. I feel, gentlemen, that it
is good for me to be here. In making this
remark I do not refer so particularly to what
in the northempart of i k ; beloved country
are called the "creature comforts," so abund
antly spread before me,as to the international
importance of the event. T. regret with you
the absence on this occasion of the Pre
mier of England, but it has been explained to
me in a manner so entire!: satisfactary that
I do not think it will tend to alienate our two
countries in the slightest degree. Mr. Disraeli,
although a warm suppertr: of the Established
Church, not only in England, but also in
Ireland, does not forget the ancestry from
which he a sprung, but respects 'the preju
dices which they held in common with those
estimable patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, and denies himself the plea
sure of being with us on this auspicious ()sca
lds:M. I, however, am happy to see by my
- tide my distinguished friend, Mr. Laird, and
also that friend of humanity, Mr. Roebuck.
It has been the fate of the former
gentleman to be more dependent upon
rams" than upon the animal which
is the source of your prosperity;
but he cannot but feel that on any occasion
when the lower grades of animals are in
question, he should be present. Hogs, gen
tlemen, I am proud to say, are not found in
England alone; their descendants and yours
occupy the same' relative position in
America. [Hear, hear.] They have
there formed e foundation of the
wealth of vast cities. Cincinnati,
or Porkopolis, the Queen City of the west,at
tributes her' proud pre-eminence to this use
ful anima Chicago, the great grain depot
of half a continentals as prolific in these crea
tures as in crimes. Vital statistics show that
the loss of life by violence of her citizens,
scarcely equals the loss of life by similar
means among her swine. [Hear, hear.] And
this animal,so respected among us—so impor
tant to our prosperity—so dear to our busi
ness and our—bosoms .isan emigrant from
Great Britain [loud and long continued
cheers]. The animal cherished by the Duke
of Bedford at his noble estate at Woburn
claims the same lineage as the hog of Amer
ica. The symmetrical pig so cherished in
your own Berkshire would recognize his
brother in the far wilds of my own
country. Their grunt is the same. "lair habit
is the same. They wallow in the same mire.
They root in the same dunghill; and what is
especially remarkable, their tails curl in
as varied and surprising a manner. Why,
gentlemen, can there be anything but peace
between countries bound by ties like these?
[Hear, hear.] The late amiable Prince Con
sort, so well known to us as a bree'ler,has left
at his "Home Farm" a specimen of this ani
mal that would be remarkable anywhere.
[A voice—" The Prince of Wales."] No, gen
tlemen, I trust that I understand my position
here better than to intend any such allusion.
My respect for the virtuous and intelligent
lady who rules over you, and my associa
tion with "the first lady of America,"
whom I was only prevented by an accident
from bringing with me, prevents such an al
lesion. I will take another view of the sub
ject less liable, to misconstruction. With
out pigs, gentlemen, we should have no
hams. I refer more particAlarly to the smoked
ham, for which the gredt*Stato from which I
come is famous—the State of Maryland. [The
band here performed, in compliment to the
distinguished guest, the national air of that
State, "My Maryland.] Atits conclusion, he
again said I thank you, gentlemen. Your
courtesy has called up visions of home which
almost overpower me. Much as I have
eaten while among you, I cannot fail to re
collect that this is toe season at home when
the canvass-back duck is in his
prime. The emotions which such
a reflection calls forth can only be appreciated
by a citizen of that place, whose name alone
should be a tie between us. I mean "Balti
more." This American bird, the canvas-back,
is a bird of peace; it is the bird I have come
here to represent. The American eagle is,
to use a mild term, a little fishy in this mar
ket. It does not agree with my friend, the
honorable gentleman from Liverpool. I have,
therefore, ordered it taken down from the
embassy and have sent it to the Zoological
Gardens, to be placed immediately under the
_British Lion: [Cheers.!
We are to have peace, gentlemen; peace at
any price. To promote this I have dined
with everybody; to promote this I have em
braced Laird and borne with Christian equa
nimity the contumely of Roebuck. I am even
told 1 have disgusted my own countrymen.
I can endure er _a that—my sands of life are
nearly run and my chance of an office small.
But, gentlemen, 1 am detaining you too long
[cries of go on.] I am preaching over my
liquor. [Laughter.] I will conclude with a
sentiment perhaps a little personal—excuse
me—" The canvass-back and the political
quack, the true.conservators of social and na
tional amity."
The honorable gentleman concluded amid
great enthusiasm and was followed by Mr.
Laird,the honorable member from Liverpool.
Mr. Laird said:
Mr. Mayor and ah—ah—Gentleinen—
the audience—l mean—ah—ah the distin
guished ambassador and all that sort of thing,
you know—is ah—a—a devilsh good fellow.
I am aware that that Alabama business was
rather rough, you know, oh him and his peo
ple, you know, but fact is, 'pon my soul—l
bad no idea these Northern fellows, 'you
know, were going to wollop those other fel
lows, you know. I thought, like Mr. Roe
buck, you know, that if we could break up
their bloody confederacy it would bea, good
thing, you know. A good thing
for the hog trade [cheers], for
you ta.,c, slavery and that sort, of thing con
sumed a great amount of pork, and I thought
you ought to furnish it, and not what my
_friend . Roebuck calls the "offscourings of Eu
rope,' who constitute the' inhabitants of the
great West. Well, we did not succeed in
this plan—but, bless my soul, the "offscour
ings" don't bear us any malice. The distin
tingniahed ambassador is all right. Ile is like
the noble swine in one respect—you may cut!
his throat, if you only let him go on eating.'
Be le my particular friend, and to use his
own words, "will dine with me, or any other
man,, at the shortest notice."
We ought to have peace with America.
The fact i s war don't pay [l:lear] ; and then,
you know, we are the same people, Saake-
sivare and Artemus Ward and Sam Slick and
Josh Billings and that sort of thing. Fact is
we bad better step up to the captain's office
and settle. I. give you a sentiment, gentle
men,to ah—conclude:"England and America:
may they never be enemies while it pays
England - better to be friends:" [Hear, hear.]
The honorable gentleman then placed his
arm round the neck of Mr. Johnsoa, and
they remained locked - in each other's em
brace.
Etag-tair anti Bob.tait Fashions.
[From the New York Lodger
When I say that the street dress of the ma
jcrity of respectable women of New York to
day is disgusting, I but feebly express my
emotions. "I "say the respectable - women, and
yet,save to those who know them to be such,
theirlppearance leaves a wide. margin for
doubt. The clown at the circus wears not a
more stunning or parti-colored costume; in
fact, his has the advantage of being suffi
ciently "taut"—to use a nautical phrase—not
to interfere with locomotion; while theirs—
what with disgOing humps upon their, backs
and big rosettes upon their sides and shoulders,
and loops, and folds, and buttons, and tassels,
and clasps; and bows, upon their skirts, and
striped satin petticoats, all too short to hide
often clumsy ankles—and more colors and
shades of colors heaped upon one poor little
fashion-ridden body than ever were gathered
in one rainbow—and Il this worn without re
gard to temperature, or time, or place—l say
this presents a spectacle which is tho dis
heartening even to be comical.
One cannot smile at the young girls who
are, one day—Heaven help them!—to 'be
wives and mothers. Wives and mat c hers!
I say to myself, as I sea the throat and neck
with only the protection of a gold locket be
tween itself and the cold autumnal winds.
Wives and mothers! Keay, ani. see them
ruining their feet and throwing their ankles
out of shape, in the vain endeavor to walk on
heels like corks, fastened far into the middle
of the sole of their boots; and those boots so
high upon the calf of the leg, and so tightly
buttoned across it., that circulation is stopped,
and violent headaches follow. Wives and
mothers! I say, as I see the heating and bur
densome paniers tackled on the most delicate
portion of a woman's frame, to make still
surer confirmed invalidism.
What fathers, husbands, brothers, lovers
can thirk about, to be willing that the women
they respect and love should appear in public
looking like women whom they despise, is a
marvel - to me_..._.
' Why they dir not say this to them, and
shame them -into a decent appearance—if
their glastes cannot effect it—l do not know.
Oh, the reliet it is to meet a lady, instead of
a ballet girl! Oh, the relief it is to see a
healthy, firm-stepping, rosy, broad-chested,
bright-eyed woman, clad simply with a dress
all of one color, and free from bunches and
tags! I turn to look at such an one with true
respect, that she has the good sense and cour
age and good taste to appear on the street in
a dress befitting the street; leaving to those
poor wretched women°whose business it is to
advertise their persona a free field without
competition. If I seem to speak harshly, it
is because I feel earnestly on this subject. I
had hoped that the women of 186 a would
have been worthy of the day in which they
live. I had hoped that all their time woad
not have been spent in keeping up with the
chameleon changes of fashions too ugly, too
absurd for toleration.
It is because I want them to be somethisig,
to do something higher and nobler than a
peacock might aim at, that I turn, heart-sick
away from these infinitessimal fripperies that
narrow the soul and purse, and leave nothing
in their wake but emptiness. Nor is it ne
cessary, in avoiding all this, that a woman
should look "strong-minded," as the bugbear
phrase goes. It is not necessary she should
dress like her grandmother, in order to look
like a decent woman. It is not necessary she
should forswear ornamentation, because it
were better and ing_rp respectable to have it
confined to festal and home occasions and
less to the public promenade. She is not
driven to the alternative of muffling herself
like an omnibus driver in January,or catching
consumption with her throat protected only
by a gold locket !
Oh, how I wish that a bevy of young,
handsome girls, of good social position,would
inaugurate a plain lady-like costume f )r street
and church wear. I say young and hand
some, because if an old woman does this, the
little chits toss their heads and say, "Oh ! she
has had her day, and don't care now—and we
want ours."
Now that's perfectly natural, and right too,
that you should have your youth ; that you
should, as girls say, "make the most of your
selves," but in doing, so don't you think it
would be well not to lessen or cheapen you
selves ? andake submit with all deference to
your dressmrs and mammas, that every
one of you who appear in public in the man
ner I have described, are doing this very
thing—are defiling womanhood, and are
bringing it into derision and contempt,
whether you believe it or not.
& C ood Story for Lawyers.
It is probable that every lawyer of any
note has heard of the celebrated Luther Mar
tin, of Maryland. His great effort in the case
of Aaron Burr, as well as his displays in the
Senate of the United Statea,will never be for
gotten. Trifles in the history of genius are
important, as we hope to show in the
story.
Mr. Martin was on his way to Annapolis,
to attend the Supreme Court of the State. A
solitary passenger was in the stage with him,
and, as the weather was extremely cold, the
passengers soon resorted to conversation to
divert themselves from too much sensibility
to the inclement weather. The young man
knew Martin by sight, and as he was also a
lawyer, the thread of talk soon began to spin
itself out of legal matters.
"Mr. Martin," said the young man, "I alt
just entering on my career as a lawyer; can
lou tell me the secret of your great success?
If, sir, you will give me from your expsrience
the key to distinction at the bar, 1 will—"
"Will what?" exclaimed Martin. -
"Why, sir, I will pay your e4ensea while
you arc in Annapolis."
"Done. Stand to yoUr bargain now, and
I will furnish you with the great secret of my
success as a lawyer."
The young man assented.
"Very well," said Mr. Martin. "The
whole secret of my success is contained in
one little maxim, which I laid down early to
guide me. If you follow it you cannot fill
to succeed. It is this, 'Always be sure of your
evidence.'"
Ei lt\
The listener wa very attentive—smiled—
threw himself back a philosophical posture
and gave his brain to the analysis with true
lawyer patience of "Always be sure of your
evidence."
It was too cold a night for anything to be
made peculiarly out of the old man's wisdom,
and so the promising adept in maxim learning
gave himself to stage dreams, in which he
was knocking and pushing his way through
the world by the all powerful words, "Always
be sure of your evidence."
The morning came, and Martin, with his
ftudent, took rooms at the hotel in the city.
The only thing peculiak to the hotel in the
eyes or the young man was that the wine
bottles and the et ceteras of the fine living
seemed to recall vividly the maxim about the
evidence.
The young man watched Mr. Martin.
Whenever eating and drinking was con—
cerned he was indeed a man to be watched,
especially in the latter, as he was immensely
fond of the after dinner, after supper, after
everything, luxury of wine. A few days
were Euffcient to show the incipient legalist,
that he would have to pay dearly for Ilia

knowledge, as Mr. Martin seemed resolved to
make the most of his part of the contract.
Lawyers, whether-young or old, have - legal
rights, and so the young man begins to think
of the study of self-protection. It was cer
tainly a solemn duty. Common to animals
and men, it was a noble instinct - not to be
disobeyed, particularly where the hotel bills
of a lawyer were concerned. The subject
daily grew on the young man. It was all
absorbing to the mind and pocket. A. week
elapsed; Mr. Martin was ready to return to
Baltimore. So was the young man, but not
in the same stage with his illustrious teacher.
Mr. Martin approached the counter in the
1)r-room. The young man was an anxious
spectator near him.
"Mr. Lark," saw ttrtiiitty young
friend, Mr. , will settle my bill, agree
able to the engagement."
The young man said nothing, but he looked
everything.
"He will attend to it, Mr. Clerk, as we
)Q--e already a definite understanding on the
et. He is pledged, professionally
p. ,ged, to pay my bill," he hurriedly re
peated.
"Where is your evidence?" asked the young
man. .
"Evidence?" sneered Mr. Martin.
"Yes, sir," said the young man demurely.
"Always be sure of your evidence,Mr. Mar
tin. Can you prove the bargain."
Mr. Mprtin saw the snare, and pulled out
his pocket-book, paid the bill, and with great
good humor assured the psung man—
" You will do; sir, 'and get through the
world with yoUr profession withaut any ad
vice from me."
A Humble in Florida, 'where they aro
Leaving the borders of Lake Erie, which
some early writer has compared in general
appearance with the shores of the Gulf of
Mexico, let us in fancy visit the live-oak for
ests of Florida. They constitute one of the
most peculiar and interesting features ;of the
Peninsular State, and though by no means as
extensive as the formerly were, they are still
attractive and valuable. By the people of
Florida they are called "Hummocks," abound
in various parts of the State, and appear like
islands interspersed in the extensive pine bar
rens. The trees grow to a great size, are pe
culiar for the great number of their limbs, and
for being free from astringent acids, and, having
congregated into a colony, other trees of
various kinds seem to have gathered around
them for protection, and as they all stand with
branches interlocked the oaks wave their
magnificent gray mosses against the sky,
while the jessimines and other vines in won
derful profusiona spread themselves into fan
tastic festoons and fill the surrounding air
with grateful fragrance. The birds are also
very numerous, and vieing with each other in
their sweet singing, inspire the heart of the
listener with delight: and as he passes out into
the barren woods, now more barren than be
fore, be feels that he has had a glimpse, at
least, of a scene allied to Paradise. Ever
since the business of ship-building was com
mencefl in this country, the live-oak has been'
sought after with, great avidity, and when the
American Government acquired the Ter
ritory of 'Florida, it took • exclusive
possession of the oak forests with r
in the boundaries of the public domain, and
owe existence to a stalwart class of men long
known as "live-oakers." In. doing this it
only imitated the British Government,whioh,
before the Declaration Of Independence, 'Was
in the habit of gathering masts from the for
ests of New Hampshire. The live-oakers
were invariably natives of the Eastern or
Middle States, and their business was to cut
down the trees and prepare the precious tim
ber for the national and private ship-builders,
and several of the huge frigates which took
part in the late rebellion had their bulwarks
built of Florida Oak. The live-oakers usually
spent about four months in the South, or all
the winter season, for that was the time for
cutting, when the sap was down;
and, as they were liberally paid for their ser
viceEC, they were generally able to spend the
summer in comfort with their families in the
North. When at work they lived in rude
shanties, and, with good flour and pork; and
the game which they found abundant every
where, as well as a supply of whisky, they
managed to worry through the winter with
out grumbling. Indeedrthey enjoyed their
tree and wild life, and were proud of their
employment. Oftentimes they were wont
to talk in a boastful, and yet loving and
pathetic, manner of the magnificent oaks that
they had brought down to the dust, many
of which had battled with hurricanes long
before the name of Columbus was known.
The traveller of to-day, w bile passing through
these forests, will be astonished to find his
pathway impeded by the great graves of
the slain, which the mosses have covered
with a pall of their own, and, wondering
why sp much limber has been wasted, will
be told that these neglected trees bad been
found, when freshly cut, in a state of incipi
ent decay. A. disease called the white rot
frequently attacked the bark and penetrated
to the heart, thereby rendering the timber
useless for the building of ships. The live
oaks at present towering in their pride are
few and far between, excepting in
districts where they are quite inaccessible,
and it is probably true that a larger amount
of - their timber is now hoarded in our navy
yards than could be found uncut in the whole
of Florida. Occasional specimens of the true
live-oak may be discovered still standing in
flower Alabama'and Mississippi, but the only
splendid grove now existing is that at Boum
venture, near Savannah, in Georgia ; and it
was while we were on our way to visit that
famous place that we sketched an isolated
specimen on the Habareham plantation, which
measured 150 feet between the extremity of
its branches.—Charles ',unman.
FANNY FERN
"The Story of a Story 77 —Uncle Ton'a
Mr. H. B. P. Jewett sends to the Cincinnati
Chronicle the following correction of Mr.
Parker's paper on "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in
the "Eminent Women of the Age:"
"CINCINNATI, November G. .•7'o the Ed
itors of the Cincinnati Chronicle: lu your
issue of the 1h instant,you publish an extract
from Rev. E. P. Parker's 'Eminent Women
of the Age,' in which he gives 14 Story of a
Story—Uncle Tom's Cabin."
"His account of this remarkable book is
very interesting, and, in the main
correct ; but there is one passage in
it where he may have been misinformed, but
which - truth and justice to the original pub
lishers of that book require shoutal be cor
rected. After speaking of its great and rapid
sale (far exceeding the hopes or expectations
of either author or,publishers), he says
" 'Large as were thesis fruits and enormous
as was the sale of the book, for some reasons
which do not require to be set forth here, the
enterprise was far more remunerative to the
publishers than to the author,aud Mrs. Stowe
was not made rich by her story.'
"A few facts in relation to this matter
would throw a different light upon it, and do
away with the impression sought to be con
veyed, that the publishers were sharp in their
dealings with Mrs. Stowe, and 'got the lion's
share.'`
LIVE OdK_S.
Grown.
Ca.bin—A.,correction.
"This accusation has been made before by
Mrs. Stowe's friends, if not by herself, and
fairly met and refuted. When the story was
nearly finished in Dr. Bailey's paper, Mrs.
Stowe offered it to Messrs. Phillips, Sampson
& Co.,_ and other publishers in Boston and
New York, but not one of them dared incur
the odium and run the risk of injury tb his
business by publishing a 'nigger' book, as it
wad called—abolitionism then being unpopu
lar and unprofitable, as supposed.
"Mr. Johji P. Jewett, head of the house Of
Jewett & Co., was au old anti slavery man,
and willing 'assumed the risk of injury to the
large and growing business of-his-house.—Hs
made a contract with Mrs. Stowe, and. bent
all his energies and the resourcesbf the house
to making the book known and . getting up a
sale for it, spending large sums of money in
advertising, and giving away hundreds o
copies to editors all over the country. The
times were propitious, the people ready, and
the sales were 'enormous;' larger than any
other miscellaneous book ever published.
Jewett & Co. contracted to pay Mrs. Stowe
ten per cent. copyright on the retail price
($1 SO), which was considered ffy - all parties
very, liberal; and they lived up to their
agreement fairly and hchorably, not, even on
ILLIU mi.t - payment, -- taking - adirantr.ger a the
contract, which allowed them four months'
time on their copyright payments, but paying
the cash at settlement, thus losing a hand
some sum in the way of interest. Mr. Parker
says Mrs. Stowe did not get rich from her
book. How is this? He admits that the
first payment was ten thousand dollars, for
little more than three months' sales. In the
course of eighteen months Mrs. Stowe was
paid about thirty thousand dollars. Nor was
this all. Perhaps In view of the success she
has met with since from the reputation gained
by 'Uncle Tom,' Mr. P. does not think
thirty thousand dollars entitles her to the
appellation of rich. But reading his account
of her previous pecuniary condition, there
might be difference of opinion on that point.
"Perhaps the gentleman is slyly giving his
publisher a gentle hint upon the sinfulness of
making too much money on his book; or
perhaps he entertains the opinion,so common
among authors, that publishers are a set oh
greedy fellows who want all the profits and ,
generally manage to get them. They forget.
that where one book is a success a dozen are
failures, where the publishers' time, money,
business facilities and energies are thrown
away. Jewett & Co. paid Mrs. Stowe a per
centage that long experience has slaown to be
a fair compensation, working to' the best ad
vantage for both parties, and if they did
make more on Uncle Tom than she, they
fairly earned it, and were honorably entitled
to it.. The writer of this communication was
at the time, and for several years a member
of that house, drew up the original contract
between the two parties, and knows whereof
he writes. H. P. B. JEwnrr.”-
NATURE'S CON VULSIONS.
A Fact for the NetratlS—The Mouth
American Meteors and Elarthqualtes
'imitated Pio atth ward and. Westward.
The following extract flion an Australian
paper deserves full attention from the wise
men who seek to know the secret of meteors
and earthquakes. To those who have watched
and studied the extraordinary shakes on dap
west coast of South America,the facts cod
tained in the following extract will prove in
valuable; for they are unsolicited, frank and
spontaneous,as all such scientific notes should
be. The facts already given in the Herald,
in connection with the famous earthquakes
of August 1.3- 16, 1868, in South America,
seemed full enough and clear; but the corro
borating evidence contained in this simple
recital deserves attention from those who
give more than a passing notice to earth
quakes and their probable cause, meteors:
The Brisbane Courier on the 25th of Au
gust states that several of the vessels just ar
rived from the southward reported that there
there was a great deal of electrical atmos
pheric disturbance on Monday and'Tuesday
nights, but whether it was the effect or sim
ply coincident, with theclipse our informants
could not say. In ope case it was attended
with fatal results, and' man -was killed on
board the schooner Urania by the explosion
of an electric meteor. The vessel was off
(.rowdy Head on Monday, August 17, about
midnight, when a heavy southeasterly
. squall came on, and all hands were called to
shorten sail. A seaman named H. G. Sales
was steering, and at half-past twelve A. M.
on Tuesday, the 17th, a meteor, like a ball of
fire, fell immediately over the vessel's stern
and exploded with a loud report, resembling
that of a heavy piece of ordnance. Sparks of
fire were scattered all about the deck
and the steersman was killed by the shock.
`Every one on board felt a violent shock like
that of a galvanic battery, but none of the
crew were injured except Sales, who was at
his last gasp picked up. His body showed
no marks, but appeared to be blacker 0, and
some six or seven hours after decompoßaon
set in and the poor fellow was buried over
the side. He was a young man, abant
twenty-three, and a smart seaman. The
fireball apparently traveled with the
wind,which was front the southwest, and
when it burst the flash was so intensely bril
liant that the steward, who was lying in his
berth below, declared that he saw the fire
through the seams of the deck.
The cabin at the same moment was
filled with smoke, which black
mac d papers lying about. Cap
tain Johnstone says that the discolora
Lion of the paint was like that produced by
"smoking the sbip'l with charcoal. A. pecu
liar, indescribable smell was perceived for
some time after the explosion,and a quantity
of flakes like the soot from a steamer's funuel
were scattered about. Captain Ullman states
that on his last trip to Sydney a dn. ball was
observed passing ahead of his ship, about one
A. M. on Monday, the 17th. It traveled in
a horizontal direction from northwest to
southeast. Apparently it was so near the
ship that the officer of the watch altered her
course to avoid it, when it burst, and Or the
moment the whole heavens seemed to be in
a blaze of light, and at the same time there
was terrific thunder. Lightning and thunder
continued at intervals throughout the night
and next day (Tuesday) until about half-past
eight o'clock, when the weather cleared up.
Game.
The French papers contain some curious
details concerning the supply of game in the
Paris markets. Although the opening of the
shooting season is the signal for a great num-
ber of gaitered gentlemen, gun-carrying and
dog-preceded, to take the field, they are not
generally believed to make heavy bags, and
France is not a country rich in game. She
could never supply her own demand for that
excellent article of food. Indeed, it is said
that not one•twentieth part of what is daily
eaten in Paris, whether fur, feathered or
bristle, venison or roedeer, is shot
or snared in France. Wild boar,
deer, hares and rabbits come chiefly from
Germany. Wurtemberg and the Grand
Duchy of Baden supply them. Baden is a
very rich game country. Of an evening from
a railway carriage one may see scores of hares
at supper in a single field. A. goad many
pheasants and a vast number of partridges
also come from Germany. Black game and
grouse come from Russia and England; wood
cocks, scarce in France, abound in Corsica,
Sardinia, and on the coasts of Southern Italy,
where they are taken in great numbers by
means of nets. Thrushes and small
birds come mainly from the shores
of Lakes Maggiore and Garda, where
the Lombard peasants destroy them by count-
less swarms. The lark also comes from the
Subalpine country, but to a still greater ex
tent from the departments of the Lot, Lot-et-
Garonne, and the Loiret, where their capture
by nets is authorized. Waterfowl, geese,
ducks, teal, snipe, widgeon, &c., are brought
from Holland for the greater part, but also
from the coasts of Brittany, from the Somme,
the Bay of Arcachon, and the vast marshes
which constitute the chief wealth of the dis—
trict of Burgundy, forMerly , known as the
Dombes. During the.9ast few days a con
siderable quantity oftbnican blackbirds has
appeared in the Paris markets.

THE ENEINibIIED PsiAkEtl•
"Now I ;
"Lay me," lisped the tiny lips
Of my daughter, kneeling, bending
O'er her folded Anger-tips.
"Down to sleep"—"to sleep," she murmured,
And the curly head dropped low ;
"I pray the Lord"—l gently added,
"You can say it all, I know."
"Pray the Lord"—the words came faintly,
Faintcr still—"My soul to keep;"
Then ttfe, tired head fairly nodded,
And the child was fast asleep.
But the dewy eyes hail' opened,
When I clasped her to my Went,
Anaino aear vqice soniv whispered,
"Mamma, God knows . all the rest."
0, the trusting, sweet contldhig
Of the child heart! Would that I
Thus might trust my Heavenly Father,
He who hears my feeblest cry.
ART ITEMS.
—At the conflagration which recently laid
part of the old town of Montauban in ashes,
.Ingrea's famous •painting, which the great
artist presented to his birthplace, and for
which Charles the Tenth vainly offered him
eighty thousand francs,was destroyed.—For
cign paper.
tWe suppose the above picture to have
been the "Vow of Louis Xlll.,"placed in the
Cathedral at l'ilontauban; this picture made a
profound impression, by its elevated spiritu
ality, at the Salon of 1821. It placed Ingres
at the head of the idealistic paiaters, in oppo
sition to the rising romantic school It pro
cured him the Cross, conferred the following
year, and the successorship to Miran Denon
at the Academie des Beaux-Arts.]
—The discovery that one.of the most suc
cessful paintings at the recent Art Exhibition
in Paris was the work of a young lady, and
that the name "Ernest Arnaud" under which
it figured in the catalogue, was a pseudonym,
has created quite a sensation among the
artists of 'the French capital. A singular
feature about this affair is that the painting
represents a nude woman, and, though un
doubtedly the work of a moat talented per
son, was so strongly bordering on indecency
that the exhibition committee at first hesi
tated whether it should be admitted at all, or
not. The artiste is said to be only eighteen
years old, and, morOver, a timid reserved
girl.
—Titian's Venus, at Florence, is in danger
of complete destruction. The strainer on
which the canvass is placed is so warped and
shrunk, that the picture is liable to assume
a convex or concave position. The conse
quence is that the picture, in almost every
square inch, is covered with cracks. These
are so serious thatal touch by a di - Ist-brush,
or by the finger, or even the shaking of the
picture, is calculated to remove the precious
coloring.
—A Florence paper states that the
Italian sculptor Gagliardi has received from
this country a commission for the great monu
ment to President Lincoln, to be of colossal
dimensions, and cost $200,000. There may
possibly be some mistake about it.
—Bsuruot.n, the German painter, was re
cently in a very tight place. He was in
Rome, and was presented to the Holy Father
at the Vatican. Now, whenever a painter is
presented to Pius IX, the latter asks: "What
is the subject on which you are at work now.
my son?" He propounded the same qUes
tion to Berthold, whom it greatly embar
rassed, inasmuch as he is working at a large
painting of the inauguration of the Luther
monument at Worms, for the picture gallery
of the King of Prussia.
—A meeting of the committee of the Leigh
Hunt memorial fund was held at 25 Norfolk
street, Strand, on Monday afternoon, October
26. Mr. Robert Browning presided. Mr.
Walter Leigh Hunt,grandson of the deceased
poet, was present-The ex-Chief Baton Sir.
F. Pollock had intimated his intention to be
present, "as a testimony of his regard for
Leigh Hunt's memory," but a letter was read
from him expressing regret that a cold and
sore throat would prevent his traveling CO
town. Ile expressed entire approbation of
the project. The hon. treasurer (Mr. Mayer)
reported a balance of £lB5 in the
bank, and stated that, when all
subscriptions promised had been re
received and incidental expenses paid, there
would be about £l9O available for the monu
ment. It was carried nest. con.,"That the
design of Mr. Durham be adopted carried
out,within the sum of £150." It was moved
by Mr. C. L. Gruneisen, seconded by Mr. S.
R. Townsend Mayer, and carried, that the
only inscription on the memorial, besides the
deceased's name and the dates of birth and
death, be the line from his own poem,
"Abou Ben Adhem"—"Write me as one that
loves ,c,g his fellow-men." It was then moved
, Mr. E. M. Ward, seconded by Mr. Wat
-13 Dalby . , and carried unanimously, that the
p he be informed that sufficient money has
be ribed for erecting the memorial.
The London Athenceunt says: "The , mosey
needed for completing the memorial to Leigh
Bunt has been collected, and Mr. Durham
.will proceed at once to finish his design. Tae
inscription adopted by the committee is• the
line from `Abott Ben Adhem:'
" 'Write me as ono who loves his fellow•tuen,'
—a phrase which, standing by itself, has no
meaning whatever. Surely it would be better
to leave the name of Leigh \• Hunt to tell its
own story to a passer-by."
—Mr. Linton, the eminent English engra
ver, who has now fairly taken up his abode
in New l'ork,has lately completed the engra
ving on wood from Mr. Rosenberg's painting
of "Long Branch by Moonlight," which is
now on exhibition at the Derby AthenieuM.
—The Brooklyn Art Association have
opened their annual exhibition of paintings.
Baker has a fine specimen of his work in a
portrait of one of the young ladies of Brook
lyn. Le Clear gives us something to admire
in the bold characteristic face of Parke God
win. There are a number of landscapes
which deservedly attracted attention.
Prominent, and most naturally, too,
is a winter scene by Mr. Gignoux, the
president of the Brooklyn Art Association.
Mr. Kenselt is represented by one of the best
pictures, but one familiar to the public. Hub
bard, De Haas, Parker, Henry, David John
son, Guy, Hall, and moat of the popular and
well-known artists, as as many less
known candidates for public favor, are re
presented on the walls. There is alsO a
Meissonnier, that should he most critically
looked at; it is the realization of a daguerreo
type picture as it would be if taken in colors.
Also, a very lifelike portrait of Gen. Grant,
by J. Verner, a celebrated French artist;
"Lincoln Entering Richmond," by Mr. Thos.
Nastovho -- by - the - wity — se - em — to be qiiire aS
successful in historical painting as in the line
of art by which he has made , his name fa

An Eccentric Nobleman.
The Duke of Portland is in his sixty-ninth
year. He is the eldest brother of the late
Lord George Bentinck, and owner of mag
nificent, estates in England and - Scotland.
After . what the French delicately term a
"stormy youth," he became, in his lather's
lifetime, a recluse. It was the elate Duke's
fancy that there was going to be a scarcity of
oak—lie did not foresee the iron age—anct he
planted a tree wherever he could, until his
park at Wellbeck Abbey, Nottinghamshire,
was almost a Panted= when - he died, in
1854. The present-'Duke took up his resi
.dence at Wellbeck, denied himself to almost
everyone, and proceeded to improve 'the
• estate, cut down the superfluous timber, and
laid out the park on the most approved prin
.ciples of landscape gardening'; con-
Otructed one of the most perfect serie4 of
,kitchen gardens in the kingdom, with hot,
'fruit and forcing houses , on _a magnificent
scale; built stables and coach houses fit for a
prince, and much finer than any. English
prince possesses. In fact, the Duke devoted
and devotes his lime and a large part of his
income to putting his seat in the most perfect
order of receiving and entertaining in ducal
style. But he does.not keep any company,
gives no entertainment/3;4:in any occasion, and
in fact lived and lives the life of a monk of
La Trappe. He has for some time been en
deavoring to convert a stream through his
park into a lake six miles long. Hundreds of
laborers arc employed on this and other work
on the estate in hand at'good waus, but on
one cr.c
salifte hint The man Who touches his
bat is at . Once discharged. The village
doctor and the parson have the same
orders. The tenants are informed of the
Duke's wishes; if they nieet him they are to
pass him "as they would a tree." Yet he is
constantly about his domain, planning and
superintending improvements. He is a capi
tal landlord, both in England and Scotland—
drains, builds, and puts farms in firstrate con
dition. He never shoots, and never allows
his English farmers to ave the game, even
on payment. To every useful county work
and every charity he is ready to subscribe.
Roads, churches, schools, all are in firetrate
order on the Portland estates. He breeds
horses, and spares no expense in sires and
mares; but if the produce does not come up
to his ideal, he shoots them—never sells an
inferior horse. Sometimes a cart load o
well-bred colts and fillies are sent to feed the
Rufford hounds.
An Englishman's English.
The Pall Mall Gazette contains the fol
lowing
Marlborough is, if possible, a closer bor
ough than Woodstock, and though it was
announced a month ago that an opposition
candidate was forthcoming, no, second Mr.
Brodrick has as yet been found to fight the
great house. To make up for the excitement
of a contested election of which it has been
robbed, the whole town has been convulsed
by a violent struggle, the object being to
decide the momentous question, Who is to
compose the new Town Council? The shop
windows have been filled with broadsheets,
more conspicuous for what is called animus
than for good grammar.. We have been fa
vored with the following specimens:

TO TILE BURGESSES OF THE TOWN OF MARL-
BOfßat.
Gentlemen. —An anonymous pamphlet has
just been put in circulation by some tyrant
whose motto is "White Slavery;" he and his
party are afraid of Freedom or Opinion, Pub
licity and Economy. If elected by your votes
on Monday next, which we fully believe we
shall, according to the promises received by
us, you may rely that we shall not rest con
tent until our motto has been thoroughly en
dorsed. When we are elected, then the Town
Council will not be a disgrace to other towns,
as their actions now must be; otherwise they
would be allowed to see the light of day.
We subscribe, ourselves, Gentlemen, yours
obediently, Capt. N. J. Reed, R. N.; Daftiel
Ritycroft.
St. Mary's, Oct. 31, 1868.
It was a saying of Bentley's that it woild
be a good exercise for a scnoolboy to ton a
page of Gibbon every day into English. We
can confidently recommend these composi
tions to the masters of Marlborough College
for the same purpose. The last sentence is
quite Thucydidean in its obscurity,aud might
be turned into very idiomatic Greek prose.
Sen Sickness.
If your enemy is a bad sailor, shake hands
with him when you land, for you have been
revenged in watching him at sea. Of all dis
mal ills, the dismalist is sea sickness. Let a
man break his leg, he will lie in bed with no
desire to die. ;Let him lose his arm, or catch
the small-pox,or get bloated with the dropsy,
the desire to retain life is ever kith him. He
will live whilst he ;can. But let a man be
sea-sick, and life grows an intolerable bur
den. He will gaze over into the depths of the
blue wave with a yearning to set his stomach
to rest beneath it. Can anything be more
morbid than the expression of his eye?
What more suggestive of suicide than
the color of his cheek? How he hates every
body! The officious steward, not unmindtul
of some prospective fee, who sobs so untiringly
about him with a mop and a basin, he loudly
execrates between the gulps of his ever re
curring meal. He smells a distant cigar—
there is a flavor of death in the hideous odor
—ah! what would he give to be on shore
again. There is something sor-awful in the
going up of the vessel; and something so
abominable in the going down. It is rising
that seems only to carry one's head with it;
leaving it in the air horribly giddy and con
fused. Then follows the low sinking
—a movement that seems to sub
vert the, whole anatomy of the
body—thrusting the stomach into the throat
—the heart into the feet—whilst the head is
left still up in the air, dazed,yellow,emptied.
How a man envies the bow-legged steward,
who seems as incapable of being upset by the
jerk of the steamer as if he were one of those
China figures with round bottoms which you
may sometimes see , in the toy-shops. How
cheerily he thrusts his mop about; how gaily
he answers to the choked and distant cry of
"Steward." How astonishing to watch his
steady progress along the heaving deck, his
arms full of basins and his complexion as
impaled by the , proximity of horrid vessels
as if each cheek were an apple.
The Urania in Birmah.
A recent traveler says of his visit to the
city of Illagw6, in Birmah :
"In the evening we enjoyed a Birman
drama. The governor had ordered a puppet
show, and a regular classic drama. As it
was- he first time that this courtesy was ten
dered to us, the ambassador urged our ac
ceptance. -
"We had a full Birman orchestra, made up
of very curious instruments, all, I believe,
peculiar to Birmah. The chief instrument,
whether =we regard size or sound, is the
patterkaing,.or harmonica drum. It is a
kind of circular case about thirty inches high,
and a yard and a half in diametiNi, It con
sists of curiously-carved wood, and i'kept in
position by mortises cut in.a circle. Eighteen
or twenty tambourines -are hung within it,
varying in size. The instrument is tuned by
modifying' the sound with little lumps of
clay. The musician squats in the • middle,
and plays with his fingers or the palm of his
hand. -
"Another instrument of the kind has tati
tams.instead of tambourines.
"Let us,however, come back to the .drama.
The ground spread with mats, is generally the
stage. Persons of rank occupy raised seats;
the genus. ignobile squat as best they may
on any vacant`Tspot. There is always a tree
in the middle of the stage, or, at least, a large
branch. Like the altar in (amok tragediee, it

is the centre of the action, the sole decora

that they kept it there to represent a wood or
garden when necessary, but I am klrro,inced
that it had originally, at least, some lb:droll-
Cal meaning.
"The theatre is lighted by mineral oil, in
earthen vases, which the actors fill from time
to time, and which throw a reddish light
over the symbolical tree. Near the orchestra,
at the side, is a frame on which hang gro
tesque masks. The trunk containing cos
tumes is near it, and, in case of necessity,
Serves as a throne tor the king, for kings are
always plenty in these dramas. In fact, kings,
princes, ministers and-Courtiers are the whole
V., M. et. Lel i rl,of
"If there is a plot, it Is not easily discov
ered. The hero is generally a young prince,
with a buffoon as his invariable attendant,
and he.keeps the audience in a roar. He is
the only actor worthy of the name, and his
wit is so broad that a knowledge of the
Burmese is not necessary to understand it.
"Part of . the dialogue is chanted, but the
attitudes, gestures, and prolonged lamenta
tions are comic enough. Between the acts,
so to say, dancers of both sexes appear, and
sometimes these ballets Corm part of the
drama. In the provincial towns the women's
parts are taken by boys.
"The puppet shows 'ire more popular than
the drama. These are performed on a high
stage, with a throne at one end for the court,
and a branch at the other for a forest.
"The plays are like the dramas, long and
tedious, but tend more to the supernatural—
enchanted princesses, dragons, spirits, flying
chariots, &.c., all appearing. Mysteries from
the life of Gandama, which actors could not
represent, are also given."
—Tennyson is opposed to the Englishman's
inexorable law of a dress-coat for dinner and a
shove-pipe hat for out-of-doors. His boys par
take of his unconventional Ideas, and wear their
hair: in a mediaeval fashion, short accoas the fore
head and long 'on the shoulders—a style so ob
noxious to the London gamins that upon their
appearance in the city they are hailed as "Mis
sey." Tennyson, from the proceeds of "Enoch
Arden," has added a field to his estate, upon
which he has grown wheat.
