< Autographs;. • ' :
..'There are so many autograph collectors
among the readers of The Press, who are to
be found in all parts of the Union, from Maine
and Washington, to California and TexaSj tbat
.we boKove we, shall do them a' kindness
by. occasionally noticing points connected
with their «particular vanity.” With the ex
ception of Dr. Spraode’s, at Albany, the
finest collection in . this country is the pro
perty of a gentleman in Philadelphia, and
there are also in. this city at least three other
collections of large extent and great value.
The London Mhenaum informs usthatjthe
library and valuable collection of MSS. and au
tographs which belonged to the late Mr. Daw
son, Turner will be sold, by auction, in Lon
don, early next year.'- In many respects, this
collection is curious and valuable.
Mr. Turner (who was brother of Sharon
Turner; ‘the well-known historian of the.
Anglo-Saxons) was a man of groat wealth,
large acquaintance, and much literary taste—
three aids towards acquiring and properly es
timating,' With due discrimination, the interest'
and-value ofautographs.His; wife and daugh
ters also had autographic'minds,-so to
They devoted much'.time and considerable
ability to the illustration-and' arrangement jof
Mr. Turner’s great collection. Where the
subject required it; they enriched each auto
graph of historic, literary, personal inte
rest with original drawings, designs, and bor
ders of considerable artistical merit. In fact,
never was a collection done more justice to
in the way of illustration and arrangement.
Mr.- Dawson Turner was a man of sub
stanco—a banker at Great Tarmouth, a remote
seaport in the southeast of England—and rode
his.collecting hobby at a great annual expense.
iJfot-a sale of autographs in England or in any
-of t'he.greai.continental cities was unattended
by some-agent commissioned to purchase
largely on his account. Nor a European col
lector of note ever, visited England.without
making a pilgrimage to Great Yarmouth, for
the express purpose of glancing at Mr. Daw
son Turner's treasures. It really could have
been no more than glancing at them, for
their extent was marvellous. Wo never
saw any collection half so well arranged.
It was a' pleasure to look at them, a
treat to hear Mr. Turner, with his flue Mad,
expressive eyes, genial smile, gentle manner,
and enthusiastic seal, tell yott the history of
favorite specimens—how he bought this,
begged that, and. was presented with the
o'thor. Vory curious, too, were his sub
collections. Many persons who visited him;
and had • previously been proud of their little
autographic . Heaps, of two or three hundred
letters, would quit the Dawson collection in
despair, and, on‘returning homo, sond their
own 'gatherings to swell that of Mr. Dawson;
which seemed like an ocean into which their
own tiny rivulets might glide without percep
tibly increasing it. This giving up collecting,!
in a sort of despair, because somo immeasura
bly greater collection had been seen, has oc
curred in' other cases, to qur knowledge. In-'
deed, wp have boen the recipient of such
offerings, and care not how soon or largely
they may again present themselves.
■ . Dawson Turner's collection will, probably,’
Ve the most extensive ever submitted to public 1
‘competition, at auction. The Mhenaum says,!
‘‘Of the -letters • classed .as autographs the re
iwirant ihe Siniei family, HTapoleon Bona
parte, General Wolpb, the Duke of Marl-;
BOBonair, and leaving the men of the sword
for those of the pen, of Tasso, Voltaire,
Sir Isaac Newton, Galvani, Archbishop
Sharpe,- James Hebvet, Thomas Gray,
cunt m ttllii aliit. The manuscript library
alselncludes extensive series of correspond
ence of Anna Mama Schubmann, 0.
Huzobns, Domenico Manni, Ralph Tuores
nr, Dr. Macro, Dr. Covel, Sir H. Spel
man, Stbype, Dr. R. Riohardson, George
Chalmers, 'William CrooiT, and Dr. Dib
nm. Tho library contains many most impor
tant hooks and manuscripts for tho history o<
tho line arts; amongst theso aro the Vortue
MSS., formerly at Strawberry Hill. Nor must
tho Glastonbury Register and Cartulary be
overlooked.' Altogether, this sale will take a
prominent place amongst events of its class
next season.” Wo saw Mr. Turneb’s collec
tion about ten years ago, and then wore told
that it Included over 160,000 autographs of all
kinds.' Wo did not inquire whether this in
cluded Mr. Turner’s own correspondence,
which had commenced half a century before,
and was kept up with nearly all the learned and
scientific men of Europe. Mr. Turner’s
death has occurred quite recently, and as' he
collected up to the last, bis treasures must
have greatly increased since we had a two
dayß’ glance' at them, examining tho most
noted, bnt unable, from the abundance, to
linger upon any, exemplifying tho truth of
Moore’s comparison—
- Like ft child at a feast,
Who bat file, to one sweat sad off to the rest.
At any rate, Mr. Turner’s private corres
pondence will not bo sold. The Jthcnaum
says: «However valuable such a series of
correspondence must be in the hands of a
judicious editor, if intended for publication,
there is necessarily much which was never
written with any other intention than for pri
vate perusal, and which it would be highly in
appropriate, not to say censurable, to place in
a public sale. It would be woll if this propor
discrimination were more duly observed by
executors and vendors in general.” In this
lost remark we entiroly agree. .It Is too
bad to find private letters, written in tho
fullest confidence, brought to the hammer,
oven while the writers are themselves yet liv
ing. The dread of this,to our certain knowl
edge,made Woreswortu very shy of writing
iettors except to those Intimate ftiends who,
he knew, wonid preservd them from such ex
posure. Sydney Smith took a certain method
of proventing any thing of the sort, by burn
ing every letter receivod, as soon as he replied
to It. Mis 9 Edgeworth told us that, ore she
commenced corresponding with any body, she
made it distinctly understood that her letters
were to be hold sacred from public perusal.
Many other eminent persons have the same
apprehension.
At tho risk of rendering not afew Autograph
collectors .a little uneasy, we have to tell them
that at least two-thirds of the correspondence
of “F. M. tho Duke of 'Wellinoton,” (and
nearly every onO'Of the notes, courteous or
enrt, commencing with these words,) wore
not written by his Grace. Mr. Grevilde, his
Private Secretary,' who had filled that office
for over thirty years, wrote so very like the
Duko that the difference cannot he deteoted
by tho uninitiated. '«The Iron Duke,” for
many years before his death, was unable to
execute tho manual labor of answering the vast
number of letters which reached him every
day. Every man, woman, and child, in the
United Kingdom, who had a grievance or a
project, made it a point of writing to tho Duke,
who would dictate replies to Mr. Greville.
Since the Duke’s death, hundreds of these re
plies, with the ducal seal on the envelopo,
have been sold at prices varying from, one
dollar to twenty, and we are positive that two
thirds, at least, are the autographs
Greville and hot of the Duko of IVellinq
ton. . „
There is an anecdoto about an authentic
autograph of tho Duko’s, which wo may haye
told before, but rather think that we only in
tended to tell it. At any rate, we shall run
the risk. The Duke’s eldest son, now second
Duke and then Marquis of Douno, happened
to ow e some small amount to a bootmaker at
f>o ( yer, which is very close to Walmer Castle,
the official residence of ’Wellington, to use
Lobotellow’s words,
“Warden
And Lord of the Olnqao Ports.”
Having repeatedly and fruitlessly sent his
hill to tho non*paying son, the money-wanting
' ! ' I ? i I* £
maker of,boots enclosed it-to the. illustrious
father, with a . request that he would see it
paid. The. Duke’s.reply, which now hangs
up, in a gold frame, in the, boot-4hop at
Dover, was in this manner: “F. M. The
Duke of WEULiNQfroN has received the letter,
enclosing a bill ot Mr.- Smith, bootmaker at
Dover. The Duke neither’pays the debts of
the Marquis of Uouro, nor' collects thofce of
Mr. Smith.” s .. •.... < i,. >«'

AN INQUIRY INTO THE LAWOP NEGRO SLA
VERY IN THE UNITED STATES OP AMERtOA,
to which Is pfdfliOd an Historical Sketch of Slavery.
By ThomAS R. B. Oohh, of Georgia. ' Yol I, pp. 3&8
This work - is,'as its 'title purports, an inquiry,
and only an inquiry, into the law of negro slavery
In the ; United StatoS, preceded by ah historical
sketch of slavery itself. 1 ' ’ ■
While disolaiming any politio&l or sootional pur
pose, our author maintains that ho organized Go
vernment has ever boon'so barbarous (we quote
his language) as not to introduce slavery among
its customs, and, in a paroxysm of love'for the in
stitution itself, he’exolaims that i t has been u more
universal than marriage, and more permanent than
liberty.” The Delfcge is 1 hifl sfcOrUnk pothi, j as
the most rooent date that he is wdlliDg'to admit.
This opinion he bases on the foot thas onp of the
inmateSof the ark became a ser
vants whence he oonoludes the curse of Ham is
now being executed npon bis' descendants, in the
enslavement of the negro rice! Hut even this
conclusion he qualifies by the assertion that the
condition of servitude must have oxistedprforlto
the flood. The slave tfado, ho thinkdj must have
been pursued ttt a- Very early day,-even in the
patriarchal period of J the human race, because
Josoph was twioo sold—once to the Midl&nitish
merchants, and again in Egypt. Slavery being
thus presented to Mr. Cobb, sanctified with the.
earliest, blessings of the patriarchs and prophets,
is taken up and treated by him with all the ardor,
of an enthusiast. He shows bow it existed among
the Jews; next to them "the aneient"Egyptian
share tho claim of antiquity. Then htrfraoes its,
history in India, in Assyria, among the Modes arid
Persians, in China and Japan,' in Greeoe and
Rome, and afterwards in Europe, daring the mid
dle ages;* and thus he Is led to consider slavery in
Great Britain, and thence the transition is easy to
an examination into negro slavery and the slave
trade, and finally to the history of slavery in tho
United States. In executing this part of his task
oar' author gives proof of oxtousive reading
and research; and if, in following him through
soma of his chapters; ' we are sometimes
obliged to smile at the fiallaoy of ‘bis deduc
tions, we are nevertheless' forced to credit
his sincerity, and admire the Ingenuity of his
arguments. Bat bore is a declaration we cannot
admit, in point of foot, nor ,approve in point of
morality i “ While slavery, 1, says our author, in
name is oxtinot, slavery in faot exists on the Con
tinent (of Europe), und must continue to exist
until enlightenment shall have driven intellectual
darkness from the ■ earth, and religion shall- have
changed so completely the heart of man, that
every one shall he contented to ocoupy that'sphero
for which Ms nature file him.” (Intro.'cxix, oxx. j
But, notwithstanding this profound reverenoe
for slavery in every form, our author doqa really
seem to believe that if a negro slave has a body to
be scourged, bo also has a soul to be saved.' - And
this is a concession on his part which we fool
bound gratefully to acknowledge. The soul of a
slave, it seems, does not pass under & bill of sale..
In referenoe' to abolition in' the United
States, our author grows quite mefancholy in
contemplating tho sad condition of th*e free negro -
He says, that in order to obtain accurate informa-.
tion be sent a ofreular to the Governors and lead
ingpoliticians of the non-filaveholding States. He.
gives tbeir answers in a oondensed form; together
with the names of his correspondents. -The reply
from Rhode Island is, “ they are generally Indus*,
trlqu's and frugal.’* Whilo'tbegontleman who;
Anfwen for Pennsylvania (a member of the Phila-i
grgro^
population in this State are “ a'degraded class,'*
much deteriorated by freedom.*’- In Vermont, it>
seems, “they are generally able to read and!
write,” whilo in Pennsylvania thoy are desoribed&sj
being “ not ednoated, and almost all the decent and ‘
respectable negroes we have have been household
slaves in somo Southern Stato!’' This is inter*
woven with a largo portion, of trash and non
sense from the author himself, to prove that sla
very Is the summum Sonuiri o f the African r'ooe,
until wearied, at last, we turn from his “ histori
cal introduction” to his treatment on the law of
slavery, with a footing that we are to some extent
esoaping from an atmosphere infcoted with tho
deeply-rooted prejadioes of the writer. ■■
In tho North, slavery is an object of study only
in its moral and political aspeots. Opr courts take
but very little cognisance ovor the subject, except
in relation to fugitives. We are hardly quaUfied
on this account to speak critically of the-lbgal
merits of the work before us. But so far os we
are able to form an opinion? It appears to be writ
ten with judgment and ability. “ Bred Scott,” of
course, figures prominently in bis proper place,
and tho law'on the subjeot of tho rendition of fu
gitive slaves is fully explained. Bat of this, as of
every other topic to whioh tho book relates, our
author takes an extreme Southern view, and not
being able to appreolate his labors, we commend
his work to our professional brethren in the slave
holding States, to whom we think it will prove a
solace in their hoars of leisuro and retirement,,if
not a useful text-book in their.legal studios. It
is printed on good, stout paper, in large type, has
plonty of foot notos, including the answers of the
leading politicians in the free States, on the
edition of the negro population surrounding
them, and is furnishod with an admirable index to
tho two separate parts of whieh the book is compos
ed. We bave no doubt that it will be found usoful to
refer to on many questions concerning the rights of
raastor and slave. Somerset's case, 20, Howell’s
State Trials, is fully reportod and examined, in
connection with Lord Stowell’s deolsioir la the
case of tho slave Graco, 2Hagg. Adm. Hop., 94,
and the deolsion of tho Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States in tho case of Dred Soott. Mr. Cobb
considers that he has entered upon an untrodden
field, for he stigmatises “Stroud’s Sketch of the
Law of Slavery” as only an Abolition pamphlet,
and Wheeler’s Law of Slavery as a mere oompend
of abridged decisions. If Judge Stroud’s book be
Only ah Abolition pamphlet, as our author asserts,
by what name, we should like to know, ought Mr.
Cobb’s book to bo called ? It strikes us ns being
nothing more than a rhodomontade in favor of Afri
ean slavery, and as such, an offset to Judge
Stroud’s work, if the lattor be of the oharaoter at
tributed to it.
A New Pyroligneous Oil.
Wo were shown yesterday some very fine oil
extracted from a material recently discovered in
North Louisiana. It resembles olnriGed sperm,
but is beliovod to be superior to all other substau ‘
oes nojr in use for'the purposes of lubrication and
illumination, and oan be afforded at a vory re
duced price.
The material producing this oil is peculiar. It
ib found not far from the boundary line between
the States of Louisiana and Arkansas.
As a oarbonaceous fossil it differs widely from
those of tho Ohio valley, Pennsylvania, and Vir
ginia, and may be olassed as a truo lignite of the
tertiary period. When first dug from the mine, it
bos a dark brown or nearly blaok oolor and a oom
paot structure; but after exposure it loses oolor
and weight, and beoomes very friable. Careful
analytical examination, repeated and verified, bas
proved that 100 partp*of raw cool will afford an,
average yield in carbon 25.13; orude oil, 13;
unoondensable voir matter, (oarbo hydrogens,)
17.50; ammoniaoal water, 30 50, and asb, 7.87.
Specific gravity, 1.229. The fluid crude oil weighs
nearly 7} pounds to the gallon, and Is obtainable
in the proportion of about 38 gallons to the gross
ton of ooal. Upon redistilling, the loss from im

ALDXaHANY COUNTY 'AND'PITTBBUUQQ BONDS—TR*
ATTEMPT AT REPUDIATION—IF BDCCSBSFUL
'tEEEE.IT MUST ALSO BB ffUCCBBSFDLIH
CITIES AMO COUMTIBB.. n j
Mb. Editor : The great question, whether tiie
bonds issued by the .county of Alleghany and oi4y
of Pittsburgh, in payment of their subscriptions to
the stook of bankrupt .railroads,.are; to be.held
good and valid? ormay.be repudiated at the plei •
sure ok those municipalities, concerns Jhe holde s
of similar bonds issued by other 1 cities and ooui •
ties, as mnoh as the holders of those above mez -
tioned Tho same. defences, exist in all then
oases.- ' ‘ .
• The city of Pittsburgh and county of Alleghan r
issued their bonds to the following J defaultin j
companies, viz: The Pittsburgh and Steubenvlll»
Railroad Company; the Oonnelltville, the All< -
ghany, Valley,.the Cleveland and Pittsburgh; tb t
Ohio and Pennsylvania, and the ChartiersValle, -
Railroads. The amount of these various issues ! i
about $4,000,000, for whioh they hold the stoo
of those companies. The 1 bonds have been ffoi i
time to time purchased by persons of the soundes;
jadgraent, for themselves, or for widows and mino *
ohildren, under the sanotion of the lawi The rail
road companies failing In their engagements t >
meet the interest, the city and county content
that they.aro net bound to pay, because fraud
and misrepresentations were praotised upon then
by. the said companies, in order to obtain the mu
mioipal subscriptions and the issue of the munioi
pal bonds.
An application for a mandamdato compel then
to levy a tax for this purpose is now pending ii
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and while w<
do not, fora moment,'doubt that that tribunal wil
unanimously and indignantly set itsface agalni
this wioked' attempt at repudiation in Pehnsylva
nia, yet we would have capitalists refieqt when
they would stand in the' eVent of that decfslor
being other' than we confidently hope it will be.
Now, if the tax-payers of Pittsburgh 'and Alle
ghany are to esoape thh burden of taxation to pay
interest on bonds: issued tor non-paying railroad
companies, it follows, that the of Phila
delphia muse also escape. So with thQS? ,of;Law
renoo, Erie, and Washington eoupties,for there
oarinot be one law for one section of tiie Common*
wealth and another for another section.
The oity of Philadelphia has issued—
■ oirj,: i Company.- -
750.000 of bonds.to the Horih western :Batiroad
' Company. .
' r 600,000 of bonds to tho Hempftelclßallroad
\ ' * Cozripany. :
, 2,250,000 of bonds to thqSanbury and Erie Rail
road Company.' ", s ‘
$6,000,000 in all. : \ .
Notone of these companies tarnishes the city
tylth tho means of paying her interest, but every
dollar of it, amounting to $300,000 per annum, is
saddled upon the tax-payer,
Wo know that the same .frauds.and miirepre
sentations complained of by Pittsburgh and. Alle
ghany were practised upon Philadelphia.. Who
does not remember the expose ol the .bogus sub
scriptions of Urane gnd Chouteau, in t|io Banbury
and Erie Railroad case; and how .the famous
check for several hundreds of .thousands of dollars
went flying about from one account,to the other,
in the Girard bank, without ever being represent
ed by a single dollar ? This cunning manoeuvre,
which might have oxoited our laughter, had itnot
been too serious for us poor tax-payers, had the
effect intended. The Counoils supposed. the sub
scription bona and straightway subscribed the
sum above mentioned, and issued their bonds in
. payment of it.
In the oases of the other subscriptions mentioned
above, we believo similar misrepresentations were
mado.
If Pittsburgh and Alleghany are sustained In
their defences, the olty of Philadelphia will in
evitably have to repudiate these bonds issued to
non-paying railroad.companies. Her tax-payers
will force her to do it. .No man.jays taxes
as a luxury. They will either wholly refuse .to
pay any tax to meet the interest in those, bonds or
they will pay it under,protest, and thus bring the
question before the court, where it must be de
cided in their favor, as in the oaae. of Pittsburgh.
It follows that, if the bonds of. Pittsburgh and
Alleghany issued to defaulting railroad companies
are wortbloss, tho bonds of- Philadelphia issued to
the Sunburv and Erie Railroad, the Hempfield,
the North Pennsylvania, and the Northwestern
roads must also be worthless, utterly and hope
lessly SO.'
Tbe amount of money thus honestly Invested in
the bonds of non-paying railroads—including those
of Erie, Washington, and Lawrence counties, and
all of whioh axe now in peril—oannot be less than
$10,000,000. The cause of the Pittsburgh bond
holder ia the oause of the Philadelphia bond
holder. It is beyond all comparison the most mo
mentous question, both in priuoiplo and in emonnt,
that ever oame before a Pennsylvania tribunal.
May the glorious conservatism of former days be
still found te have full sway on the Supreme
Benoh. May the honor of Pennsylvania and her
municipalities be maintained; 'and may the
pestilential principle of repudiation reoeive snob
a signal -rebuko at judicial hands that It will
never be able to raise its Gorgon head again
within the limits of the old ** Keystone.”
It Is but just to say, In conclusion, that there
are many prominent and influential gentlemen in
Pittsburgh who utterly oondemn this spirit of
repudiation—who would rather be taxed to the
utmost of their ability than see suoh a stain
come upon their oity and county. These gentle
men have toiled incessantly to bring their fellow
oUferffa to a sense of duty and of regard for
public faith and honor. "
Glory be to this Spartan Band!

I havo admired your courage and fearlessness

if you suppose that the South is a unit for Le

an abomination to us. Por myself, I never doubted
its character or what would be the final result
among our genorous population. There is a class,
indeed, dogmatic and dictatorial, which still and
ever will go Locompton, pure' and simple; but it
is a olass generally odious among the Southern
people, and always defeated when we oould get
tie issue of Union or Disunion fairly made against

eleotions in tho North-I am fully persuaded that
the whole Leeompton programme will be «m

people a long time to find out tho bearings.of a
publio question. Our population. Is sparse; our
newspaper press is insignificant’ln number,and
circulation, compared to the North; and, above
all, we are more generally indifferent to federal

render us more laggard in making up our oplfiioh

GENERAL NEWS.
Imbecility ov the Kino or Prussia.—
The question of the transfer of tho royal power of
Prussia permanently—it has de facto beeh for
some months past—-from, the imbecile King to his
brother, the Prince of Prussia, is said to have,been
at length virtually, if not ofSoi&llyy'decided: The
abdicating tqoparoh is -stiUi to., retain the title of
King, his .that of, Prinoe Regent.
As the King hds been pronounced Inourahle^and Is
nearly. 04,'while: the Prince ls three yeArt
younger and in fiill vigor, .mental and bodily,'the
probabilities are' that at date he will
wear tbe'crowu,'and,'it may be, wear itlong.

derick WUliambrings hia nephew, the Prince Fre
derick William, thenuiband of our Princess Royal,

hisown rights in his favor; hat, as the,Prince is

power, the ptesent arrangement seems the most
rational and suitable. -♦ - -c "

’ A Mighty St* Louis’
Democrat tells of a colored family who were driven,
trom their homes on the Illinois shore during the
late freshet, and .who were forced to take up a
temporary residence in St. Louis. ~ Free negroes
are not, allowed. to live In Missouri without a li-’
censo, and they had, none.: This neglect was dis
covered by a very enterprising lawyer, who at once
procured the arrest of these' « drowned out” ties,
passers, and- caused them -to pay over every cent
they, ooqld forape, on peril of going to jail—to be
whipped out or sold as slaves. Their dues bring
paid, and they having made preparations to de
part, they found themselves accidentally detained
a fewhburs beyond their, prescribed three days.

j Horrible Affair.—We learn by a gentle
i man from Mt. .Vernon, tbatafew days ago, some
[boys in. that vicinity went to a neighbor’s house to
[get soino‘peaches, and on arriving at the house
[they asked the children “how all the folks were.”
■The children replied that they were all well except
[their mother—-that she.had been lying dead on the
jflder for three days.' The boys ran home and told
[what they had heard, and some persons 'imlne
jdiately went to the house, and on making 1 search,
{found the dead body of the woman in the most
horrible state of mutilation. . The hips and thighs
jwere buret to a cinder, and her hands were burnt
almost off, and all appearanoes seemed to indioate
jthat she must have been held on the stove by some
person until she was burnt to death! The sheriff
prrested the husband on suspicion of having com

j A Desperate Attempt to Commit Sui
'cidb.—A German shoemaker in New Orleans, La.,
attempted to commit suloide a few days ago, by
outting a tremendous gash in his. throat. He,
however, first took.'the precaution to bar the door
po prevent, being disturbed, bat the people soon
got wind of it, and crowded around the door.
After he had made the gash in his throat, he took
a bottle of wine, and placing the mouth into tha
t wound, lot the Trine run in until it bubbled up
and ran over, mixing with the blood. To prevent
the crowd from advancing, he kept throwing at
phem bottles and lasts. He was, however, finally
pverpowered just as he was oommenoing to pour
another bottle of wine' down his artifioial’throat,
And taken to the hospital, where his wound, an
ugly one, but not fatal, was attended to.
\ A Dauikq Jump.— One fiaylastweek, a gen
tleman and lady, travelling on the Central Rail
food, ascertained that they were going In the
frrong direction—they wanted to go on the Rome
nd.Watertown.road. In this dilemma the two
rent to the platform of tbe ooaeh. and the gentle
man, taking the lady in his arms; jumped to the
ground. Both fell—the lady beneath the gentle
man—and she struck her head upon a i\o.' Some
people on tbe train thought the gentleman’s legs
fere run over, but that Is |not certain The lady
Jras evidently severely butt, as somebody was
sen to raise her from the ground entirely help
ljssa.
I A Diffioulty Ebl-ihinated.—During the
playing of the Goehituate fountain on the Com
mon, on Tuesday last, it was noticed that ono of
the jets did not throw its eolnmn of water as
usual, t when the attendant proceeded to uncap it,
to ascertain tbe oause.. This was very easily dis
covered in the foot that the pipe was completely
stopped np by a large eel, whioh was removed with
some difficulty and found to measure over two feet
In length. Being thus relieved, the fountain
again poured forth In unstinted volume, and the
NaUd muses resumed the gentle cadences of their
wonted song, without further interruption.
' The Comet.—By a somewhat remarkable
coincidence it has. been remarked that the years
distinguished by the appearanoo of comets have
also been distinguished by superior vintages, and
the quality of tbevintage has rlten in proportion
to the brtlilanoy of the, comet. Indeed, so re
marked baa this fact become as to assume tbe cha
racter of a brand— a .Oomet brand” —as indica
ting a superior vintage. This year the vintage is
.very superior both as to quantity and quality,
and we have a comet. Also, the strychnine crop
is Abundant, and whiskey is plenty—Comet
