In the chamber there was;a'feeme : light and : a single female' slave; Agrippina was growing more and more uneasy that no messenger Came from her son; that even Agerinus did not return. The free of the shore' was now 'changed; there were’ solitude and sudden noises, and the indications of - some extreme calamity. Ai her slave was. going away; Agrippina cried out,“Do you too leave me I” and seeing Xnicetus; accompanied by Herculeus, a. eaptaifi of a trireme, , and OloriataSj a centurion in the floet, she said, “if .he hadepmo her, he must tell Hero that she was -recovered; if he had come to commit, a crime, she would not believe that her son was privy to, it; be would'not command the mur der of his mother:" The assasslns surroundcd the bed,-and the commander of the trireme waa tho first to strike,her on the head with a club. As the centurion was drawing Ms sword to kill her, she presented her womb, and said •‘Strike hereand she was despatched with many wounds. So far nil agree. As to Hero coming to See. the body of bis mother, and praising 1 the'beauty of her person, there are some authorities that hare so Stated, and there are some that deny it.

Wi|U«6y4Wiii| in SIUMRrii The Baltimore American tints alludes to the subject of wlne-growlng in» Missouri, which is fhst getting to be a'matter of oonsiderahlo im portance in’tliat State. ; . ' WXwftie''company hasireen recently formed in Missouri- for the manufacture of wine from the grape vineyards of the region, and the pro duct of this manufacture appears in the market this year for the,(first'.time;' The enterprise promlses.completa success, as good profits are fcaUzed, and experienced connoisseurs do not hesitate to declare the’American wine superior to many of the choice foreign brands. Missouri seems peculiarly well adapted to grape' culture'; for while hlasting ond.mildew are said to have befelien the grape crop in Ohio, tho vineyards in Missouri are free from blight, and now promise a' rich'harvesf. The zealous cultiva tors expect to’displaoe all foreign brands, among discriminating judges of, the artiole. The St. Louis Republican describes at much length the works Of the' Missouri Wino Company, the process of manufacture, &c. Tho main build ing is' very wide and one hundred and fifty feet in depth, having three cellars beneath it, hewn out of solid rack,•the’lowcstof which is thirty three feet below the siirftce of tho earth, for the purpose of Securing a low temperature. The Catawba grape is’ almost the only one .cul tlvated for wiue, though good success has been had in making sparkling wine from the wild grape,whiphbrihgss9pef dozen. Thechoicer varieties of Catawba rate at $l2 to $lB per dozen. Tho Republican Says: «‘ Iff tho year 18S0. the company manufac tured GO,OOO bottles, or 18,000 gallons, of the three forms of Cgtawba. The present year the' amount will not exceed 80,000 bottles. The fhllure of tho' crops last fall advanced the price of the manufactured article twenty-five per" cent,, besides limiting the quantity, so that the Missouri Wine Company contracted their operations. , “‘ Wo understand (hat the business of wine growing is profitable. An acre of Vines' pro perly attended will yield 400 gallons of wine, which, at $1 per gallon, the üßual rate, will yield $4OO or $350 nett, as it costs not more than $5O per acre to' cultivate the grape and press out the wine. The first cost of procuring the vines and preparing the ground, we did not learn. But the. cost-subsequently is not above the figures stated—sso per acre.’ ’’ Wine-Making in America. We see it stated that an order has been sent from Washington to Southern Hungary for some cuttings of'the vine of the genuine To kay grape, with a view to introduce the culti vation of that famous grape as an experiment in this country, in the . hope that wo too may be able 'to' produce the Tokay wine. Wo pre dict that the trial will prove a failure. It will, unless this grape behaves very differently in our soil and,climate from other imported varie ties, which have uniformly failed, so far as we are inibrmed, in every case where outdoor or vineyard cultivation has been attempted. Wo hope, however, tho experiment will bo tried. In Europe, where there were no native grapes, imported kinds were introduced and nourished; here, we have several varieties of native grapSs, and the foreign sorts dwindle and die out after a few years,-as often as their cultivation is at tempted. An enormous' cask-passed up State street yesterday, on its way to the wine-cellar of Messrs. K. Page & Co., under ' the reservoir in Derne street. . Its capacity is 2,400 gallons, probably the largest cask in this country ex cept one or two in the cellars of Nicholas Longworth, in. Cincinnati. Messrs. Page & Co. have recently leased several arches under the reservoir, .and fitted them up for tho pur poso of making their wines from native fruit. . This makes the finest cellar in the country.— One of the arches, in which there are three Btorics, is 180 feet by 40.. The wine which this firm makes received a medal at the last Mechanics’ Fair, and is the purest wine that can bo possibly made. Dr. Hayes has an alyzed It, and found that itcontains but 12 or 14 per cent, of alcoholic spirits.— Boston Post. In Connecticut tho making of wino from na tive grapes is getting to be a considerable busi ness, and is found to be profitable—especially When'the wine iswell made.. The abhndant growth of native grapes in Tolland, Glaston bury, Stafford, and. other towns, is being tamed to some account, and we hope more attention will hs pajd to (he business. Wine from these grapes sells readily, at'prices varying from $1 25 to $2 60 per gallon,. according to age. One gentleman in Stafford, has for many yosrs filled his cellar with wine ,of his own making, and he sells alt he can make. , Gen. Case, of .Canton, also makes a good article. Specimens of wino from the white native grape of this vicinity wo hare found to jbe excellent. In Portland, opposite Middletown, there are sections vvliare tile'.'wild'fox grape grows in such.abundance, that people living in that vi. cjnity mlght avail tkomsolvea of it to make wine to advantage. At. our last State Fair! In ’Hartford,; there were one of two specimens' of improved portable wine presses, and quito a variety of different kinds of wine made in this State. Several persons in this city and neigh borhood are now in the habit of making their own .wine, and they fancy It to be equal to any imparted article—-certainly better than the stuff sold under thq name of wine, in most places,— Hartford Pimu. IjtPOHTANT ’ lirpaOVZkENT IN TBS ' GRAPE and Wine CuitueU in the TThmeo,States.— The Commissioner of Patents has set apart a Sortion of the fonds last appropriated by ongreaa for, agricultural purposes, for obtain ing cuttings Of all the native wild grape vines of the United Statos, to be placed in the hands of practical cultivators, with a view of testing their adaptation to tho soil and climate of the other sections of the Union, and determining their value for table use, and for making wine. Major H. C. Williams, of Fairfax county, Va., has been chosen to select the cuttings of the vines of Arkansas and Texas; slid tho neigh boring Territories, and obtain certain Informa tion connected with their growth and locality, whichoro to bo‘ employed in carrying out said experiment., Considering the extent of, terri. tory over which the' vino culture may be ad vantageously diffused in this -country, it is surprising that this Important measure has never been attempted; by our Government before. I I IRSTAND SECOND FIDDLES. WJio has not noticed the difference between the first and Second fiddler of an' orchestra 1 One is all life,' spirit,' energy. ’ Now waving the bow in the air, ho silently guides the har mony;—now rapidly tapping on the rest-board, he buYries its*movement) or, again, bringing tho violin to his shoulder, he takes the lead ing melody; and high, above tho crash of sound, the wild cOncord'of a hundred instru ments, , you, hoar shrieking along the shrill notes of the first fiddle. He is an enthusiast j he'stamps his foot, wags his head, beats timo ,with>mad;energy, enters;heart and soul into the -music— and all because ho is the leader, and plays the first fiddle. , Seated, by his.side, but.npon a lower chair with a lower music-rest before him, la a patient man, who saws meekly on the cat-gut. He never glances Wildly heavenward like the lead er,never allows his facile hand to run off in roulades of melody, never wags his head nor stamps his foot, but steadily'and honestly ho pours an undercurrent of harmony into the mus ic,which no one hears or cares for,no one credits to him, without which the orchestra would bo lame indeed. With iiis eye fixed on the notes, he draws the bow with diligence and not with enthusiasm, he sees before, him not tho inspi ration of a master, but with eSch quaver, he earns so much bread-and-butter for his family. Perhaps he sometimes ciphers up what fraction of a mill a singlo noth may bring him.’ And vet it is possible that this same man, now so tame and spir|tless, so yery like an au tomaton in his place, may have all the genius and fire of the leader—but alas, he plays se cond fiddle. ' All this bit of moralising passed through onr mind, and partly through onr lips, the’ other night, while listening to an orchestra en gaged in the performance of a Strauss quad rille. But human nature acts on principles which do not vary,with.each particular, occu pation, and no man can folly develop his pow. er—lf he 1 has any—whilo playing second fid dle.'’ Here or lessj Wo all live for applause, for notoriety, for reputation of talent,'skill, genius, wealth. The soul whose light is hid beneath a bushel ,Kta powers cramped by Infe rior position,; living in a constant conscious ness of second-rate iihportanccy is but half it self. It loses the'flre'of sympathy with look ers-on, feels that. it is irresponsible for the ■grand result | and settling to the axiom “act well your part," loses all hope of acting In the future a better and nobler part. But with this feeling of inferiority comes the consolation of a sense of justice j. all cannot’ be first fiddles, there Is no equality in this varying world H wo9ld.be a workTof stupid sameness If It wore go—and so, tho first, fiddle la. left, to beat the air in all his greatness. But Heaven pities the second fiddlers. *. , |FrWth*hew YorfcTftfclet. V ' v 1 / ANECDOTES OF O’CONNELL. At Mr. Clancy’s, at Charievllle, Mr. O’Con nell talked away, lor the amusement of the party who had assembled to meet him. •< I was once,’? - said he, « counsel for .a cow stealer, who was clearly convicted; the sen. tenoe was transportation for fourteon years. At the pud of that time hp returned, and hap pening to meet me, he began to talk about the trial.

WAentoer your honor goer to steal a cow, always go on tho worst night you can, for if the weather Is very bad the chances are that nobody will be up to see your honor. The way you’ll always know the fat cattle in tho dark is by this,token—that the fat cows always stand out In the more exposed places; but the 4ean ones always go into the ditch for shelter.’ So, (continued O’Oonneli ) I got that lesson in cow-stealing, gratis, from my wo - thy client.” We spoke of the recent political meetings'-' and, alluding.to a certain orator, I observed’ that when a speaker averred with much ear nestness, that his speech was unpremeditated I never , felt Inclined to believo him, Mr’ O’Connell laughed. “I remember,” said he', “a young barrister named B once came to. consult me on a; case in which he was re tained, and begged my permission to read for me the draft of a speech ho intended to de liver at the trial, which was to come off in about a fortnight. I assented; wherpupon he began to read, ‘Gentlemen of the Jury, I pledge you my honor as a gentleman that l did not know'until this moment 1 should have to address you in this case.’ ‘Oh I ,that’s enough,’ cried I; ‘ consult Bomebody else—that specimen is quite enough for me I”’ On our rpad to Charleville to Limerick, we passed through the barony of Connelloe which the Liberator told me had formerly be longed to bis ancestors. As we came in view of Chief Baron o‘Grady’s seat, Mr. O’Con nell conversed about the proprietor. In 1813, some person having remarked to O’Grady that Lord Castlereagh, by his ministerial manage ment, “had made a great character for him self,”—“has he ?” said O’Grady; “faith if he has, he’s just the hoy to Upend it like a gentle man I” After O’Grady had retired from the Bench, some person placed a large'' stuffed owl on the sofa beside him. The bird was of enormous’ size, and had been as a great curiosity from the tropics'. .O’Grady looked at‘ the owl for a moment, and then said, with a gesture of peevish impatience, “Take away that owl! take away that owl I If you don’t I shall fancy lam seated again on tho Exchequer Bench beside Baron Foster.” Those who have soen Baron Foster on the Bench can best appre ciate the felicitous resemblance traced by his venerable brother judge between his lordship and an old stuffed owl. ■ Among the Liberator's professional reminis cences was the following unique instance of a client’s gratitude. He had obtained an ac quittal; and the fellow, in tho ecstacy of his joy, exclaimed, “Ogh, Counsellor! I’ve no way here to show your honor my gratitude! but I wisht I saw you knocked down .in mv own parish, and maybe I wouldn’t bring a faction to the rescue I” A tattered looking stroller recognized O’Con nell at some place where we stoppod for a few minutes, and asked him for money, pleading a personal acquaintance in aid of hia claim. “ I don’t know you at all, my good.man,” Said O’Connell,«l never saw you before.” “ That’s not what your honor’s son would say to me, I ', returned the applicant, “ for he got me a good placo in Glasnevin Cemetery, only I hadn’t the luck to keep, it.” « Then, indeed, you were strangely unlucky,” rejoined O’Connell, « for those who have places in cemeteries generally keep them-” tYo slept at Maryborough, in the Queen’s County. Ere we retired to bed, something led to the subject ol trial by jury. lasked him if it was not absurd to require unanimity in a jury ?—ifthoplan of tho old Scotch criminal juries—namely, that of deciding by the major ity—was not the more rational mode ? “ In theory it is,” he answered; « but there are great practical advantages in the plan that requires unanimity. To be snre there -is this disadvantage—that one obstinate fellow may knock up a verdict in spite of eleven clear-headed jurors— but that does not happen once in a hundred cases. And the' necessity for a unanimous verdict may be a vast protec. tion for a person unjustly charged with an of fence. “ I remember a case in which eleven jurors found a man guilty of murder, while the twelfth —a gawky fellow, who had, never before been on a jury—said he thought the deceased died by a fell from his horse. The dissident juror persisted; the case was accordingly held over till the next assizes, and in the meantime evi dence came out that most clearly confirmed tho surmise of the gawky juror. Here, then, if the majority,ot jurors hod been aide to re turn a verdict, an innocent man hod suffered death.” . • A . . , O’Connell hod strong convictions against the law of punishment by death. His own pro fessional experience fornished him with a mul titude of reasons for its abolition. He told mo an instanco whero'an innocent life was ail but lost; the prosecutrix (a woman whose house had been attacked) having erroneously sworh to the identity of a prisoner who was totally guiltless of the Offence. The Man Was found guilty and sentenced to death on her evidence. He bore a considerable personal resemblance to the real criminal. The latter having been arrested and confronted with tho prosecutrix, s lie feinted with horror at her mistake, which hod been so nearly fetal in. its consequences. By tho prompt interference of Judge, .Burton (thon at tho bar) and O’Conne.', tho govern ment were induced to discharge the unoffend ing individual, who had tho narrowest possible escape of a rope. But a far worse caso than this was recorded by O’Oonneil. I give the narrative in his own words, extracted from a speech he delivered at a meeting held in London;—“l myself,” said ho, “defended three brothers of the’namo of Cremin. They were indicted for murder. Tho evidence was most unsatisfactory. Tho judge had a loaning in favor of the crown pro secution, and ho almost compelled tho jury to convict them. I sat at my window as they passed by after sentence of death bad been pronounced; there was a large military guard taking them back to goal, positively forbidden to allow any communication with the three un fortunate youths. But their mother was there; and she, armed in the strength of her affec tion, broke through tho guard. I saw her clasp her eldest son, who was but twenty-two years of ago; I saw her hang on the second, who was not twenty; I saw her feint when she clung to the youngest hoy, who was but eigh teen—and I ask, what recompense ‘could ho rnado for such agony? They were executed, and they were innocent!” TV’, j; D. AFFAIRS IN UTAH. [From the Journal of Commerce.] Novel in all its elements, and extraordinary in Us whole career, Mormonlsm has sCemod to be a problem beyond thp sagacity of the great est and purest of our statesmen. Ingeniously surrounded by those who lead in its with metaphysical assertions of the. abstract right of self-government, every remedial sug gestion was abandoned in detail, until the pres ent Administration came into pother. The remedy which all men seem to agree upon is i that which the Federal Exeoutlvewlttaonbtless! put into operation. The poisoned fVuit has ri pened, and Is about to tall j and at this moment an evil of the most gigantic proportions prom ises to subdue before the resolute purpose oftho President, and the determined co-operation which will attend the execution of thatpuipo'so. The'same energy which rebuked the Know Nothingism excesses in Washington,—the saiho statesmanship which has been applied to Kansas)—will; wo predict, provo to be equally successful in Utah, If or wUI the principal of popular sovereignty be violated in-order to bring abont a consummation so devoutly to be wished. Troops will be sent there, nbt to wage war againßt the deluded hordes in that tar-off Territory, bntto sustain the laws, and encour age those who, sick and disgusted with: the horrid bestialities which there prevail, reduiro the strong,-sheltering arm of. the government, to protect them. And if it should happen that in carrying out this design, the bold; bad f mon who have reigned so long over their abject slaves should be summarily and effectually pun ished, we ore free to say that public opinion' will approve, and public gratitude' acknowl edge, the patriotic energy of the Administration in performing its whole duty. -We confess our surprise when we see tho governmept waiting for the man to complete this great and indis pensable work.'
