NEW IPIUBLICATIONX
A Day by the Fire, and other Papers, hith
erto uncollected. By Leigh hunt: '; Boston.'
Roberts Brothers. Received from Porter &
Coates.—Bubbling over with wit 'and fancy;
and now and then surprised with a tear; filled
with a strange elfish wisdom that reduces old
wives' fables and seamen's yarns to science,
and makes ,positive knowledge momentarily of
no account, these matchless essays are a spell
for the winter evening or a dream for the sum
mer woods. They tell whatever old voyagers
knew of sirens, mermaidens and the sea-satyr;
they solve the daimon -of Socrates and the
nymph of Numa ; fairies and the good people
pass amongst them with a busy, moonlight
bustle; ,Gog and Magog stump through ittena,
while their pages descend no nearer to" Practi
cal information than the freaks,and the dreams,
and the future, of aronautics. Before and be
hind these uncanny revelations of strange
erudition come a few papers, more in the
vein of Lamb--" On Commonplace
People," "On the Talking of Nonsense," on
"A Rainy Day," and bookworms, and a bull
fight, and whatever is queer, and freakish, and
the very last subject an inferior essayist would
choose. Out of such a medley, Leigh Hunt
could educe grace, and elegance, and poetry;
turning over his leaves makes as feel how
much, since his day, English literature has lost
in, self-enjoyment and what is called unction.
If there are modern essayists who could now
reproduce a tone so loveable, kind, and famil
iarly wise,they are to be found,not in England,
but in the 'land where " The Autocrat," and
"Among
, my Books," and "Italian Journeys"
have been written.—The papers gathered into
" A Day by the Fire " were composed at the
extreme periods of the author's life, and Con
tributed to fulfil • hasty needs to his various
journals, The Beflector, Examiner, Monthly
Chronicle, &e. Such springy and' vital " pad
ding" has certainly not been provided since.

ART ITEMS.
—Victor Nehlig, of New York, perhaps the
first genre artist living in America, yet during
all his residence singularly misappreciated,
found it convenient some winters back to ac
cept a proposal for painting in a panorama.
This was the "Pilgrim," now on exhibition in .
Philadelphia. Half a ozen or more subjects
in the painting are from his accomplished
pencil. BeSides Mr. Nehlig 's contributions,
there are two from the late Leutze, and one
from William. Dart (the Delectable Moun
tains), in the same series, which all possess art
interest. . "
—W. P. W. Dana, of New York, has nearly
finished a large and important picture, entitled
" Extremes Meet," an incident of city life.
The view Is drawn at the principal entrance to
one of our large retail dry goods stores. A
lady and child, richly dressed, are just entering
the door, when a poor woman at the side of
the' entrance holds out her scanty stock of
wares, Imploring attention. Through the plate
glass windows are seen groups of richly-clad
women, and salesmen behind the counters are
displaying their fabrics to the eager buyers.
GOSSIP FROM THE HOLY CITY.
SOCIAL
" Not at all Roman, but—Chinese !" remarks
discreetly an Italian correspondent in ushering
in the following anecdotes of society; we fancy,
bowever, that the Tiber was the Yellow River
that flowed past the celestial scandal:
"I must close my letter with two bits of
fashionable gossip, echoes of society—not at
all Roman, but—Chinese. The moral of the
first tale is, Why will ladles, whose feet are
naturally small, insist upon wearing shoes too
tight for them?
' "There was a ball at the house of a great
mandarin, and among his guests was Madame
ChOw-Chow, who is the wife of another man
=darin of the military persuasion, not at all
noted for..his amiability. Chow-Chow's feet
hurt her, and after an hour's martyrdom her
agony became insupportable; so she took oir
one of her slippers, and she pushed it under
the sofa. ' Another mandarin, whom we will
Foo-Foo, saw the mationivre, and, with in
finite dexterity, appropriated to himself, doubt
less to press to his heart, this little Finelom
which would have made Cinderella herself
jealous. But, as he Was leaving with his pre
cious booty, the lady said to him, You have
forgotten my husband's boot, I think.' Chow
chow has got her slipper once more, and the
sentimental Foo-foo trembles yet when he
bears the sound of a riding-hoot. Yet what
might have been the result, if the mandarin's
wife bad not been a clever woman !
" The second is a curious instance of a mira
cle, certainly equal to the Miracle of the Hoses'
represented last evening in the tableaux. A
derk in one of the Government offices has had
the misfortune to lose his wife, who was a
model of all the ChriStiam virtues. By his posi
tion the employe was Obliged to go a great deal
into society; but as his only fortune was his
saliry, Madame was forced to wear false
jewelry, imitation lace and French cashmeres.
After her death the inconsolable husband com
missioned a friend to sell everything. The
articles were put up at auction and realized
140,000 francs, for the laces had become Ma
lines and Point d'Angleterre, the cashmeres
were turned into camel's hair shawls, and the
paste diamonds into brilliants of the first water.
The Government of the Celestial Empire or
dered an examination into the case, which
might, perhaps, have resulted in canonization,
but the widower in his grief had left ChU
without even sending in the resignation of his
appointment."
THE BISHOP OF METZ.
• "The following Is more authentic: A certain
French prelate (Maret), whose latitudinarian
ifsm is notorious, r. marked that the Bishop of
'Metz, who had been his schoolmate at the
seminary; carefully avoided him on all occa.-
dons. They met, finally, in the apartments of
Cardinal Antonelli, and Mgr. Maret, observing
the usual tatics on the part of his colleague,
walked up to him, and seizing his hand, said :
A It is very absurd in you to run away from me
so persistently. Whatever you do in this
World; we are certain to meet in the next, for
we shall both be damned—l, for my want of
'faith ; you for your want of Christian charity !'
"The Bishop of Metz is the prelate who
presented a gold pen to the Pope, as an offer-
lug from his dioceiei and•who, When Pius IX.
graciously remarked that it should be Used to
Man the decrees of the, Council, touched 3
spring in the handle and produced a thousand
franc note, saying: You see, holy Father,
that my 'diocesans have not forgotten to sup
ply the paper also!'"
DUBLIN GANIE.
A Personal liemainiseenee...ilis First Be.
eeption of the Chinese Elission.
A correspondent of the Providence Journal,
S. T. 8., who met Minister Burlingame on an
American war vessel in China, just after his
appointment as Ambassador from that 'coatis , :
try, gives the following personal reminiscence:
The vessel had been ordered by Admiral Bell
to meet Mr.. Burlingame, who bad retired with
his family from Peking, and on his trip to the
coast had just escaped from great peril in the
town of Peiko, which was besieged by the'
Chinese rebels and robbers. The writer says:
It was in early evening, of a charming moon
light night, when the Dove came down and
anchored near us. The Burlingame party
came immediately on board our vessel, and a,
happier company I never saw. A warm sup
per awaited them, and every accommodation
that limited means could afford so large a com
pany was extended, and very gratefully re
ceived. A long evening was filled with narra
tions of the late experience ; but chiefest of all
was the account of this new mission of.which
we were the first Americans outside of Peking
to learn, and the great importance and mar
velous character of which staggered our com
prehension. Mr. Burlingame himself seemed
quite unable to realize its actuality, and fre
quently expressed himself as finding it most
difficult to do so.
The following noon we came away, bound
again to Shanghai. Mr. Burlingame seemed
continually in a state of unrest. He would
talk with one and another for awhile ; then
read an hour ; but spent most of his time walk
ing the deck. It is my habit to enjoy the
later hours of the night in reading or writing,
and toward midnight I could hear ,Mr. Bur
lingame go quietly up on deck, and after walk
ing a few moments, say to the 'officer of the
deck, "Won't you please send down and •ask
Mr. Browne to come on deck awhile?" So
the messenger-boy would come I down, and
slipping on my
_cap and overcoat—for those
beautiful, bright January nights crossing
Petchele and. the Yellow Sea were cold—l
would go up on deck, and we would walk for
hours, and talk over this new post and duty
which be had taken upon himself. He would
say, "It you wont to bed like the others I don't
know what I should - do, Tor I find it almost im
possible to sleep, and I must have some one to
talk with, and if I walk the deck I can get a
little tired and catch an hour's rest." • lie
said the tendering of the :mission and ear
nestly soliciting his acceptance was so to:-
tally unexpected, that even the interval he
asked to consider the matter was entirely in
sufficient to enable 'him to comprehend the
strangeness and magnitude of the charge ; that
it was delegating an authority and discretion to
a foreigner—especially remembering the re
striction of the Chinese—that was even beyond
marvel, and' that the magnitude of the matter
oppressed him. Then he would go off upon
:some American experience, his college days,
his Congressional career—and I remember
how, at my request, be gave me a most ex
citing and interesting account of the matter
between him and Brooks. Recurring again
to the theme that was uppermost, he would
dwell upon the great compliment to America—
he did not saylo himself—in the bestowal of
the Mission • the benefit America might derive
from it, and important part this thought
had in constraining his acceptance ; his greater
freedom to act, and influence to exert upon
the authorities at Peking, as a Minister from
China, than he could do as a Minister to China ;
the immense universal good that ought to be
accemplished by it ; and the hope that he
might be able, notwithstanding opposition, to
accomplish all that the mission sought, and
then to settle down upon his California
ranche.
Always cheerful, full of pointed anecdote,the
few days passed away, and we reached
Shanghai. There he became the guest of the
house of Russell k Co., and the Chinese
authorities, who had learned in their own way
of the new embassy, called upon him, and he
was unable to restrain them from prostrating
themselves at his feet. Here, too, he first met
opposition from narrow minds, circumscribed
by their ideas and desires of trade and gain,
and such opposition he did not cease "to en
counter in his whole official career; and yet
notwithstanding influence of power and place,
notwithstanding prophecies when the wish was
father to the prediction, he has in the face of a
prejudice against the people he represented,
and the policy be offered; effected the entire ac
complishment of his purpose, until the Queen
of England herself tells him he has not only
raised her estimation of the character of the
strangers in the far East, but that he has in
spired her with a greater respect
. and deeper
interest for America itself.
No common talent was in the keeping of
this man, whose deeds have spoken more than
volumes, and who, just at the accomplishment
of his magnificent labors and in. the fullness
of S. rich maturity of life, is cut off by this
quick and mysterious Providence. r , iie was in
tensely and earnestly au American. Jealous
of the past and future of his native land;
zealous in the present for the establishment of
national justice toward all men ; the first to
dissipate that arrogant lie so often contemp
tuously spit from Southern lips, of personal or
national cowardice at the North; winning in
distant lands and among an alien people a
good name, not to himself only, but more, for
America ; humanity-loving, charmingly genial,
unostentatious; accessible to all, with - a won
derful facility for winning confidence, it is
hardly surprising that he became the chosen
instrument even of exclusive China, to estab
lish amicable relation's with the outside world.
Singular Faculty of the Dervish.
With respect to the Dervish or Fakeer, an
account of his singular faculty was, I believe,
first presented to the public in the Calcutta
papers, aboUt nine or ten years ago. Ho had
then frequently exhibited it for the satisfaction
of the natives. but subsequently be was put to
the proof by some of the European officers
and residents. Captain Wade, political agent at
Loodhiana, was present when he was disin
terred, ten months after be had been biiried by
Gen. n presence of the Maharajah
and many of Ventura,Lis principal Sirdars.
It appears that the man previously prepared
himself by some process which he says, tempo
rarily annihilated the powers of digestion, so
that milk received into the stomach undergoes
no change. He next forces all the breath in
his body into his brain, which becomes very
hot, upon which the lungs collapse, and the
heait ceases to beat. He then stops up with
wax every aperture of the body through which
air could enter, except the mouth, but the
tongue is so turned back as to close the gullet,
upon which a state of insensibility ensues. He
is then stripped and put into a linen bag, and
on the occasion in question, this bag was sealed
with the Runjeet Sing's own seal. It was
placed in a deal box, which was also locked and
sealed, and the box being buried in a vault, the
earth was thrown over it and trodden down,
after which a crop of barley was sown on the
spot and sentries' placed to watch it. The
Maharajah, however, was so sceptical that, in
spite of all these precautions, be had him twice
in the Course of the, ten months dug up and
examined, and each time he was found to he
exactly in the same state as when they had shift
him up.
When be is disinterred, the first step to
wards his recovery is to turn back his tongue,

him, and Ins eyes and lipsmcdstetted with ghee,
* or oil. Ilbsrecovery is much more.rapid than
might be expected, and heils'soOti. able to re
cognize the bystanders and converse. He says
that during this state of trance his dreams are
ravishing, and that it is very painful to be
awakened, but I do not know that he has ever
disclosed any of his experiences. His only ap
prehenSion seems to be lest he should be at
tacked by insects, to avoid which accident the
box is slung to the ceiling. The interval seems
to be passed in a.completestate of hibernation;
and when he is taken up no pulse is percepti
ble, and his eyes are glazed like those of a
corpse. He subsequently refused to Submit to
the conditions proposed by some English offi
cers, and thus incurred their suspicions that the
whole thing was an imposition; but the ex
periment has been too often repeated by peo
ple very
,well capable of judging, and under
too stringent precautions, to allow of this
mode of escaping the difficulty.- This man
assnmesto be holy, and is very. probably a
worthless fellow, but tbat does, not sheet the
question one way or the other. Indian princes
do not permit themselves to be imposed upon
with impunity; and as Runjeet Sing would
not value the man's life at a pin's point, he
would neglect no means of debarring him all
access to food or air.
In the above quoted cases, except in those of
Corfidius and ilerniotinus, the absence of the
spirit alone is suggested to the spectator by the
condition of the body; since the memory of
one state does not appear to have been carried
into the other—if the spirit wandered Into other
regions, it brings no tidings back ; but we have
many cases recorded where this deficient evi
dence seems to be supplied. The magicians
and soothsayers of the Northern countries, by
narcotics and other means, produce a catalep
tic state of the body resembling death, when
their prophetic faculty is to be exercised; and
although we all know that an alloy of imposi
tion is generally mixed np with these exhibi
tions, still it is past a 'doubt that a state of what ,
we call clear-seeing is thus induced; and that
on awakening they bring tidings from various
parts of the world of actions then performing
and events occurring, which subsequent inves
tigations have verified.—Front 6 ' The _Night

Outrages tpon Chinamen--- Almost a
It would seem as though our community
was cursed with the presence of a class of
roughs lost to,all feelings of self-respect' and
every principle of-manhoodovim-make -it-their
business to wage war upon the weak, defence
less and inoffensive portion of our citizens.
Rarely does a day pass without there' is occa
sion to record a rase of gross outrage, either
upon a negro or Chinaman. Yesterday, al
though a general holiday, passed ofi very
quietly, with the exception about to be men
tioned. There were but few arrests for any
cause. About o'clock in the afternoon, how
ever, the streets were tilled with rumors of a
riot on Mission street. The facts in the case,
so far as can be ascertained from witnesses,
were as follows : About four o'clock, a China
man, walking quietly along Fourth street, was
struck by a bottle and knocked into a cellar
way. In that vicinity, between Howard and
Mission streets, there was a large assem
blage of roughs and boys, who considered it ex
cellent sport, and were willing to join in any
thing similar. Not long afterwards another
Chinaivan passed by and was pursued by the
boys, who insulted bum in every way, throwing
sticks, stones and mud, being, encouraged in
their proceedings by the crowd of roughs. The
Chinaman finally escaped the mob who were
pursuing him, a gentleman' named Yates inter
fering in his behalf. By this time the mob had
increased to upwards of a thousand, and
there was an evident intention on their
part to mob any Chinaman who might. pasS.
At length two Chinamen , were spied .by the .
crowd passing down Fourth street. The boys
started for them, followed by the mob. One
of the Chinamen was struck on the head with
a stone and severely injured. Some half dozen
persons witnessing the cowardly attack at
tempted to interfere but were forced by the,
mob to take refuge in a livery stable. A po
liceman appeared: about this time, and shortly
afterward a posse fromthe City all, who soon
dispersed the crowd. There was at one time
decided indications of a serious difficulty, but
the coolness of a few American gentlemen
kept the mob of Irishmen back until the arri
val of the police.--,Son Francisco Alta, 22d.

Enthusiasm Among the Cabana—Crowds
of Visitors at the lieneroPs
Proclamation to be Issued to-day.
The New York Herald says :
General Quesada, late commander-in-chief
of the patriot army in Cuba, who arrived in
town night before last, remained in his apart
ments at the Hoffman House all day yester
day, and was visited by an immense number
of Cuban gentlemen and prominent
citizens of New York. The beautiful flag of
the little republic floated from the roof of the
hotel, and was frequently cheered by people
in the street ; while the vestibule and parlors
of the establishment seemed to be transformed
from American into Castilian resorts, and re
sounded with the articulation of Castellano.
Col. Varona and Major Ldznas, the swam-.
plished aides-de-camp of the General,
speak . English fluently, and contributed
immeasureably to the enjoyment of
American visitors not familiar with
Spanish. To-day General Quesada will pub
lish a proclamation containing an official re
port of elan in Cuba. The document was
being prepared last evening, but had not suf
ficiently approached completion to be given
to the press, Arrangements are on foot among
the Cubans in the city to give the General an
entertainment,and the Cuban League,of which
Gen. McMahonis president, has invited Gen.
Quesada and staff to attend their meeting on
Saturday evening next.
THE SCRANTON BOILER EXPLOSION
A Scranton exchange gives the following
results of the fearful boiler explosion in the
rolling-mill of the L. I. and C. Company on
Monday. Actual measurement shows that
the aperture in the roof erne building, caused
by the explosion, is 140x46 feet in dimensions.
The original report made the aperture 76,05
feet. Add this to the destruction of the boiler
itself, the smoke-stack, two heating furnaces,
one puddling 1 urnace, also steam and water
pipes, line shafting, wheels, pullies, &c., and
the damage to the engine, and the
extent of the money, loss can be approximated
—s2/5,600 to 530,000 will not much more
than cover it. Add to this the loss caused by
the stoppage of the works, and the magnitude
of the explosion in all its length and breadth
may be appreciated. A careful examination
of the boiler shows no defects sufficient to
have caused the explosion. The cause proba
bly consisted in a mechanical derangement of
the valve,which prevented the escape of steam
from the boiler, and which derangement ne
huMan ingenuity could have prevented, oven
if it bad been known at the time. Eight men
and two boys were killed by the accident;
twenty-three men and one boy were in
jured, some of them seriously.

Quite a lively Mitiation was created in ! yid
around the Browning , in this city, yes
ter4ay morning, occasioned by a collision be
twebn an hidignankfernale, as the party of the
first part, and 13.• Swetlaild, the proprietor,
and Charles , Alonzo Meek, the clerk, of the
Browning Hotise, as parties of the second part.
From the best information we have, the origin
of the unpleasantness is about thus, or "there
abouts :" The female, who gave her name tIS
Mrs. Mary Gray, came to the city three or four
weeks since, ostensibly for the purpose of sell
ing, by subscription, Mark Twain's humorous
book, entitled "Innocents Abroad,',' and took
boarding at the Browning House.
Landlord became suspicious that she. was
not altogether " Innocence:Abroad," and fear
ing that as a paying boarder she wouldn't
prove a success, told her to .Bird other quarters,
and she took up heir abode at another hotel a
day or two before the collision. Hearing that
her late host had made sonic damaging re
marks against her fair name, on yesterday
morning she procured a cowhide and repaired
to the Browning House, resolved to administer
personal chastisement to the, offending publi
can. Accosting him in the parlor, she de
manded a retraction of the offensive epithets,
and on his failure to comply, she struck him,
twice With a rawhide. In return for this, the .
festive Swetland dealt her a blow on the cheek,
felling her to • the floor. No sooner
had the pugilistic publican sent
his assailant to "grass," then he
followed. A. tussle ensued, landlord using
the rawhide on her. She begged to be let up,
and promised to leave the premises. The clerk
of the house, Charles Alonzo Meek, as she
claimed, politely requested the enraged land
lord to "kick her down stairs." This so ex
cited her feminine wrath that, on reaching the
sidewalk, she struck him with her cowhide,
whereupon the valiant and chivalrous Charles
Alonzo knocked her down and kicked her, as
witnesses testified before the. Recorder in the
afternoon.
between the publican and his valiant clerk
the lady fared badly in the tight, whatever may
have been her fare as a boarder. She was
beaten, banged, kicked, culled, cowhided, and
handled roughly, as her appearance amply tes4
titled. One of her eyes gave striking proof
of the pugilistic prowess of her late host and his
brave clerk.
