Take this one fact for type of honor done by the • modern Swiss to the earth of his native land. There used to be a little rock at the end of the avenue by the port of Neufchatel;' there, the last marble of the foot of Jura, sloping to the , blue. water, and (at this time of the year) covered with bright pink tufts of Sa ponaria: I went, three days since, to gather a blossom at the .place. The goodly native rock and its flowers were covered with the dust and refuse of the town; but, in the middle of the avenue was a . newly-constructed artificial rockery, with, a fountain twisted through a spinning spout, and an inscription on one of its loose tumbled stones : •'Auk - Betinistes, le club Jurassique.

Ex mining the origins of mythS,.the author 'findS them referable to tWo sources—one, ac- teal and historical, represented by the fancy , . under figures personifying them,—the other, due "tonatural phenomena, similarly endowed with life by the imaginative power, usually more or less under the influence of terror.", We' have but to look at the latter with the earnestness of old to understand them in the old way : • .• .

Thus, from the real rising and setting;—from the real atmosphere, calm in its dominion of tinfading blue, and fierce in its descent Of tempest—the Greek forms first the idea of two entirely personal and cor poreal gods, whose limbs are clothed in divine flesh; and whose brows '.are crowned with di vine beauty; yet Boreal that the quiver rattles at their shoulder, and the chariot bends be neatii_their,_.:.

The 'California Mr-Ship. The San Francisco Bulletin, of July 21, has the following: "The doubts which have been entertained'as to whether the Avitor can fly were successfully solved to-day, at the Industrial Pavilion. By invitation of Aerial Steam Navigation Com pany, our reporter visited the Pavilion at 11 Welock_to.dayr-whcratho-Avitor-has-been-put together-for a public trial. The machinery has been already described by us;•but some Moffitt cation has been made in its construction. In brief, it is a cigar-shaped balloon, inflated with hydrogen gas. It is apparently fortyfeet long, ten to fifteen feet in diameter, with a light framework around it, of bamboo and pine, with nneffin planes on each side to raise the machine. A ribbed propeller—shaped like a •steaus.hip's--of` bamboo and muslin on each ride` at the centre, propels the machine ahead; ,the power being an alcohol steam engine .efl)rass. The machine has a rudder or tail to steer it, but taut much use was made of it. f1it..12 o'clock a largo number of members of the press and several of the -Chicago party, vngineers and others had assembled. .After considerable. delay the inflation was coin pleted, so that the Avitor was able to main tain, its. position free of the floor. The. steam iitia :get up and the propeller set in motion by the miniature steam engine, when it started easily:ahead, the propellers turning at about sixty to eighty revolutions per minute.

CITY BULLETIN. .01:WARE OF PicknociitErs.—A few, words ~in regard to a favorite 'method adopted by Itiekpockets, known as "k - nucks," to success= fully ply, their nefarious vocation, may serve to place the readers of the Butztrix on their guard against the encroachments of these light-fingered gentry. Pickpockets, as .a general thing, are tolerably well-dressed, and so far :as outward appearance is concerned, might readily pass for gentlemen.: Those of the fraternity who have made the profession a sort of science dress_ with scrupulous : neat nese, are at times exceedingly polite; pleasant in sPeech,' and affect such unestentatious : nem that they seldom . : fail .to make a favorable impression upon society. There are others Who do not come up to this standard; they are simply used as confede rates or "pals," their business' being to hide the plunder "forked" by their superiors. The favorite resort of the fraternity of pickpockets : for the purpose of pursuing their profession was;Tor several. years, the street carsvgene rfilly-tinwe whi clistatted - from - railroad - depots immediately after the arrival, of the 'trains, or at the places of amusement at the time of closing. These thieves would select crowded cars, and so well arranged were their plans,. that they never came in conflict with each other. 'At . - the present time they deviate a little from the old practice. They do not always select crowded cars. They get on the rear platforms of cars very nearly full,' and insist upon standing , there, always being ready with some plausible excuse, such as ."going to get off :directly"—"only , going a couple of squares," or, "it's too hot in there." At such a time their plan of operation is as follows:—The car stops for one or 'more pm sengers;who find some difficulty in effecting an entrance. The crowd opens the way, and as the Passenger passes onward his hat is slightly pushed froni behind so as to nearly cover his forehead. This is so adioitly accomplitilied by the thief as' to throw the passenger aforesaid off his guard. He puts his Land up to readjust his tile, and at the same rnonient the slientific "'muck" relieves him of Lis pocket bokk,..or other valuables Which lie hands to a "pal," who gets off and iiisappears. The hat-tipping business is quite a ,favorite practice, although it is not always attended with success. Persons who meet with such au event, either in getting on railroad cars, or while waiting at ticket offices in depots or at places of a musements,should remember these words of caution. Professional thieves of all kinds are subject to ninety days' imprison ment if• found in any place or in any street crowded with people, but there are few or no police officers at the present time who can identify them - as - such. The public should, therefore, exercise more than usual caution. In case any oneshould feel hiehat move from behind, in the manner above Stated, whether on a crowded platform or any other place, as already indicated, let that person immediately turn round to the one behind him and say, "I'm on that myself." After that he may fee) perfectly secure froth further annoyance on that occasion. FORGED WARRANTS.—Quite a number of forged warrants have been passed on a num- .1 her of banking houses within the past month, but only in one instance were' the facts made known, secrecy being' considereq necessary in Order to effect the ends of justice. This is a miserable subterfuge. The more publicity given to such transactions the more will the public be placed upon guard. The thieves themselves like secrecy, and why should police officers be like them'? There is evidently only one person engaged in making out these warrants, and h 6 uses engraVedii„,o - natures of the officers. The individual doing this work is the equal of Thichanan Cross, and is well known to him. He has been in prison on several occasions, but was released by that great friend of coun terfeiters and forgers Andy Johnson. Suspi cion rests upon this individual, but he is shrewd • enough to cover up his, tracks, and so far he has avoided arrest. Proof is all that is wanted, and this seems to completely stagger the new detectives, and the expert forger can "laugh in his sleeve" at them. The other day he passed several hours at Fairmount Park, and entered into (pike a conversation with some' of the laboring men there. It is not likely that he will be arrested, because officers who have "piped" him for two months have given up the ; "job" in disgust. Now that the forged war rant scheme has.been exposed, it is not likely:' that - anymore will be passed. EEPO.RTEIt ASSAULTED.—in obedience to a summons, one of the reporters of the city ap peared before the Examine-11in the contested election' case, and gave evidence in regard to the issue of Supreme Court naturalization papers. His testimony was pretty severe neon one of the Fourth-Ward crowd. On Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, while the gentle man was sitting — orillfe:wep at the office of tlie l'eliceAnd Fire Alarm Telegraph, the Fourth Warder mentioned stepped up and commenced calling him all_sorts of_narnes in order_to_pro, yoke an attack. The gentleman, however, re tired into the office, :where he remained until daylight, under the advice of his friends. His assailant went among his friends who were on the opposite side of the street, and a few min utes afterwards the party scattered. Some of them were observed an hour or two afterward posted about the neighborhood, and they were evidently lying in wait for the gentleman who had excited their enmity. PLEASANT Exconsiorr:—The very pleasant weather prevailing just now renders traveling agreeable, and the opportunity of taking a short tripfrom the city is being eagerly em braced by those whose occupations prevent them from leaving for any great length of time. The Camden and Amboy Railroad Comptmy, bearing in mind the popularity of New York Bay excursions in former times, have arranged fiioi one on Wednesday, August 4th. A special train Will be rim to South Am boy, leaving Philadelphia (Walnut street wharf) at 7A. M. The excursionists, on thitir arrival at Amboy, will take the splendid steamer William Cook, pass down the Bay; through the Narrows, up the Hudson River, thence to South Amboy, returning to this city about 8.30 P. T. McClurg's celebrated Baud and Orchestra will accompany the excursion, and discourse sonic sweet music. Tickets can be obtained at 811 and 828 Chestnut street, and at the United States Hotel, foot of Walnut street. 00T 124 0 Ars - •Am.—E. 31. Lingo was.hefore Alderman Carpenter, this morning, upon-the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. Last night, between ten and eleven o'clock, a man and a woman were walking along Delaware avenue, below Walnut street. Lingo, it is alleged, went up to the couple and attempted to get the man away. The latter resisted, and Lingo, it is charged, fired two shots at him, but neither took effect. He then struck the woman a violent blow in the mouth and knocked her down. The tiring attracted the attention of Policeman Dalton, who ar rested—Lingo. The a latter was resced :by, his brother, J.-H.-Lingo, : but both men were, rested afterwards on a .steam barge, where they were employed. E. 31. was held in $1,060 bail, and J.

AMONGST.ATLANTIC CABLES, steam navi gation and those progressions of science and art that mark the nineteenth century, not the least useful are Dr. Ayer's medicines. They take rank among the benefactions of mankind, from the rapidity and certainty with-:which they cure. Try AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL on a cough and it is gone. What skin diseases or impurities of the blood withstand Air En's SARSAPARILLA ?—AyER's PILLS are the per fection of a purgative—every funny should have them, as almost every family,does. Not a trifle to be thankful for are good medicinew and the knowledge how to use them for pro tection from disease. These Dr. Ayer's prepa rations and publications furnish, and we do not hesitate ,to commend them.—St. Louis Leader. At a meeting of the London National Society , for Woman Suffrage, held-in London on the 17th of July, Hon. John Stuart Mill made a speech. Mr. Mill, who was received with loud and continued applause, congratulated the society upon the success of thiseffort in- po--, litical - organization -- The admission of women to the franchise, which not long since. was a mere protest on behalf of ,abstract right, had now grown into a definite Political aim, se ribusly pursued by many thousands of active adherents. - He had always held the opinion that women had the same right Ito the sufirage as then,and - it -7had—been---his good-fortime—t-o-L-know- _many_Andies,_very_ much better fitted to I exercise it than the majority of the men of - his acquaintance: Nevertheless, he confessed that he was not prepared - for - the - largermountof-sympathr; and support which this movement had re ceived. That success would be unaccountable were it not for some important allies that had , been at work in their behalf. The first vet' these was the sense of natural justicd. - They were fighting against disabilities and disquali fications, and claiming equal chances and op portunities for, both halves of , mankind. A Other auxiliary at work for theta was the pr gress of the age. All the tendencies • that eh, racterized modern improvementwere7 - air their side; the 'growing aseendency of moral over physical force, of social influences over,. brute strength, or the idea of right oYer the law of might; the philanthropic spirit, that which seeks to raise the weak and the op pressed ; the democratic spirit, the disposition to extend •political rights, and to deeni any 'class insufheiently, urotected •unless it had a voice in choosing those by whom the laws are made ; the free-trade virit ; the force of the new conception of human improvement and happiness, the habit of estimating human beings by their intrinsic worth, by what they are and what they do, and not by what they are born to-all these were powerful aids in the, works they were undertaking. Every im provement that characterized the present age' would be found tending in the same direction. Not one of them would be thoroughly realized and perfected unless women, with all their moral and intellectual capabilities properly de veloped, were associated in the work; and the pedantic nonsense talked about theproper sphere of woman would appear thoroughly ri diculous when pleaded as an excuse for ex-.. eluding them from the minor matter of politics when their assistance could not be dispensed with in the most arduous. Look, for instance, at education, the one great cry of the day. Were they going to educate a nation without the aid of women? Women were the acknowledged best teachers of young children, and numbers of them were eager, both professionally and as volunteers, to put their hand to the work, the only hindrance to their being equally capable instructors-to-more-advancedpupils- was-that they could not teach what -theyhadriot liebn allowed to learn. In" the Northern States of America a large majority of the teachers were women. Was it likely, then, that'when women found theniselves side by side with the men of of the present, teaching and training the men of the futnre, they would believe in the right of their . pupils to • :politi cal supreMacy over them? Would they feel themselves less worthy of a vote than the men who had been taught by them how to use their vote ? He would like to see the face of the man so taught who Would stand up and refuse it to them. Turning to the mismanagement el the poor, he von hired to predict thatthe great' national ques tion would never be successfully treated till women took their proper, and, perhaps, the princiPal share ,in its management, both in the workhouses and hospitals for the poor. Those , who best knew how to manage a household would be . the best calculated to manage a 'workhouse; and so with regard to all that concerned the details of public expen diture, what superintendence would be equal to that of an experienced mother of • a WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Until the Medicaid profession Was opened to women. there would never be a sufficient sup pl yof educated medical- practitioners for any but the rich. SocietY was feeling every day More and more that the services of women were wanted'for other uses than to "suckle fools and chronicle small beer." Many were now saying that women should be better educated in order that they might be able, to educate ,men ; and; truly, if they were to educate men, the education of a well-educated man could hardly be denied' to them. But these very moderate re formers fell into the mistake about women that was made about the working classes—. people were willing to educate them, 'butex pected them, after being educate,d,to content themselves with the same treatment which they had met with'before. That could not be. Those who were fit to train men for their work-would think themselves-fit-to share in that work." The higher, education of women, and their political emancipation, were awe to go forward together.. They might safely affirm; then, that their cause was powerfully backed, since it had for its allies the great forces which were everywhere at work striving to improve the world. Their success would greatly strengthen all those forces, _and they, by their increasing strength, would help on that success ; whoever helped forward one beneficent object would prove in the end to have promoted many more. Their business was to go on as a society, doing that which they had hitherto done, striving for the suffrage and for the suffrage only, gain that, and whatever was desirable for woman would ultimately follow'; but until that was gained, nothing was obtained that , might not be resumed at the caprice of our rulers. The great practical distinction between those who could protect themselves and those who were at the mercy of others was, the political franchise. Even in America it was found that to abolish slavery was not enough ; the uegroes could not be really free until they hs,d the franchise. Representative assemblies, in the election or winch they had uo voice, inflicted or permitted treatment which would have reduced them to a condition almost worse than their previous state. The extension of the suffrage,- so long as women were excluded from it, was a posi tive injury to them. The sulfrage was the . turning point in women's cause; that, alone would insure them anhrqual hearing and fair play. With it they eould not be denied any just right, or excluded from any fair advan tage. All, therefore, should aid this enterprise as the best means of accelerating the particu lar improvementin which they felt a special interest. He concluded by moving "That this society declares its strong conviction that it is in the highest degree unjust and impolitic to make sex the ground of exclusion from the exercise of political rights."

(From the Auburn (N. Y.) Evening Advertiser, July 30. J An "affair of honor,". " resulting from astaud ing; quarrel, managed strictly in accordance with the code, came off between two "State' men" at the prison immediately after break faiit Friday morning, with all the accessories of seconds and blood-letting. The principals were Mr. Deming, Esq., H. C. (kitchen cook), and the Honorable Mr. Gibson, waiter in the collar shop. Deming being the chal lenger, Gibson had the right , to the choice of weapons, and being incapaci tated by reason of htlart disease from using flsts,declared for swords or knives. The swords not being furnished by the State, knives were accepted, and by their arbitrament the arbi trators were to stand or fall. PrelimluarieE L arranged,,the Bladensburg .of the encounter :w .; as located in the ice house; to which Deming repaired, armed with his professional weapon, keen-edged Damascene 'bread-knife; Gibson rendezvousing at the spot with' a trusty shOe knife from his collar shop. With undaunted mien 'rind chivalrous' ' bearing the.' doughty • knights Of tlie"stripe PrOodeded with their pro fessi tools to mortal combat,their attendant esquires at hamrand eager for the fray: • As they met, Deming, with his brea4-knife; sliced his opponent's with a ten-inch cut :of the.r scalp, receiving in return a scientific •leather cut from the square-ended, shoe-knife, which inflicted a flesh wound, from the side around, to the stomach, some three inches deep and ten inches long, touching - up the ribs and I developing sangiuniously. At this stage of the affair a professional, from the meat-cellar, rushed in w - ith his beef-cutting implement, or battle-axe, to the relief of his principal; when the further progress of the duel was obstructed by the descent of the "pollee," and the wounded men were turned over to the sur geon. We are informed that there are no hopes:of a fidal.termination of the casualties. , , • 01,7"r•;;PJOTXCIE161,: CAktn4Ciiinetf , Sioke:s 141.11:. 601 tAke , hatpin co of . :nunnter.,:stbdo.ol" ClotUng 'et koductkl'; iPricesi int flirt ingOorootto torido Veri cItIOP,I OO JF or clothing now noting inanutictured: . - • T,TIE .
