Sala's 5 6 Life on the Ocean Wave.'"
George AugustUs Bala, editor of Temple
Bar, and author of an armful of books
upon' all subjects—readable books, too, if
sometimes .rather flimsy in material—came
over to this country, last fall, as ." Special
Correspondent" of the Daily Telegrap4,
an enterprising, well-written, unscrupu
lous, out-and-out organ of the sympathizing
party in England, and of the Secession
party in America. We have often won
dered why this Telegraph., aiming at being
the rival of The Times, should have taken
up the policy of The Times as regards this
country, particularly as the sentiment of
the &lash people, of the masses, as distin-
guished from the British aristocracy, who
are the . few, has been, from the first, un-
equivocally against slavery. Perhaps,the
Rothsebild influence, known to operate on
The Time; has also been brought to bear
on the Daily Telegraph.
Mr. Sala's letters from this country are
desultory and 'entertaining, crowded with
platitudes and paradoxes, diffuse and chatty,
showing more experience in than know
ledge of the world; exhibiting a refresfiing
verdancy as to this country and its people,
and manifesting a veryamusing ignorance of
war in general and particularly of war in
the 'United States. There is a great deal of
gas in them, and surprisingly little informs. :
tion. Now, Dr. "Russell, when he wrote
about the war, treated •of a subject with
which his e:speriettee in the Crtmes, and
n India had made him familiar. There-
fore, he Made no mistakes, though he some-
times was one-sided ilnd unfair in his re
flections, and blundered in his accounts
of battles which. he had not. seen. Mr
Sala, in the early part of his sojourn here,
chiefly exercised' his pen and his powers
upon two subjecti—the high charges at the
Brevoort House, where he stopped, and
the various hospitalities-of-New Year's day
in New York, wtdeb,'judging by the man-
ner in which he wrote about them, must
have affected him in.the usual manner.
Perhaps it has never occurred to Mr.
Bala that the Daily: Telegraph people started
him off to this country for the purpose of
becoming a rival to " Manhattan," the ly-
ing correspondent of, the Standard, com
monly known as . the - M - rs. Gamp of the
London press. If so, it was unfair to Mr.
Sala, who lea man of - genius, while "Man-
hattan" was simply-an ignorant, bouncea
ble, sordid osercenerY_
Mr. Sala took a trip to :Mexico, where he
did not likelis entertainment; in fact, we
understand the French Officer in command
intimated that his room would be prefera-
ble to his company there, and he has not
yet finished his description of the . voyage.
The last of these .letterswhich we have
seen is in the DaiVg' Tede.:qraph of July 20,
and shows " Our -Special Correspondent,"
on board a steamboat front Havana, -near-
ing Vera Cruz; after a - -pleasant voyage.
Here, as we desire to. exhibit how pleasant
ly he can write about nothing, are his re
flections upon. being•at. sea :
' , Pray tell me whether yonknow anyplace besides
the sea where you can eat four meals a day, to say
nothing of to oiled bones or anchovy toast as a re
lish to your nightcap - before turning in, and enjoy
them ; where you may drink a moderate allow
ance of grog without' dreading a headache the next
intoning ; where there le no postman to bring your
letters, no newsboy toiling your daily journal down
• your area ; where younre safe tYom your advisers,
and beyond the reach of your mother-in-law—l have
known great numbers of people, but I never knew a
man to take his motheirdn-law to sea with him;-
where it doesn't matter a farthing token whether
the Ltheraleva out orAtte Tories are. in ;• What IS
the price of colisols, or what Kr. Softly Smyler, the
critic, has Said about your new .poem ;+ where yea
may give ydar arm to somebody else's wife without
dreading the ire of a jealous husband , -Ime jealous!
be hag just fetched a oamp-stool for your, wife, and
peels oranges for her every day at dessert ; whore
you might flirt with the eleven thousand virgins
of Cologne, should that sainted sisterhood happen
to be on board, withoutr any offensively inquisitive
mammas to ask ycu questions about your intentions ;
where you may grin at and hob nob in the most ails,
ble manner h people, who, were they to meet
you in Pall-mall, would cut you dead; where you
may Speak to everybody and anybody without a
Sternal introouction, always excepting the man at
the wheel; where, if you happen to have a talent,
be it ever so humble, for singing comic songs, or
propounding charades, or playttg the accordeon, you,
will at once become amazingly popular; where her
Grace the Duchess will positively deign to smile
upon and to thank you for Winging heron extra rug
fur her feet, or a plateful of raspberry tart at tea
time •, where you may wear any kind of hat., any
kind of coat; and no .gloves • at all; where, if my
Lord :Bishop hasn't found his sealegs yet, he will
condescend to hold on by you, and bratty tightly too,
when he, takes his antepranotal constitutional on
deck ; where you may play whist in the daytime
without being considered a blackleg, and smoke
cigars alter breakfast without shocking the ladies,”
Mr. Sala, who is a British subject, with
a foreign name, lacks . the proper organ of
veneration, we fear. Here is a ,sly
evidently at one of Queen Victoria's sons,
at which many English readers, sitting
round Cockney tea-tables, doubtless will
shudder, with a turning-up of their eyes in
loyal horror:
"The most miserable person I ever saw aboard
ship, rot being a victim toisausea, was the eon of a
mighty monarch. His exalted rank prevented
him, of course, from mingling with the other pas
engem ; he was hedged round by tutors and go
vernors, who wore under strict orders not to allow
hie Ellehness to smoke ; he was not even permitted
to enjoy the society of his species at the public
table, and two state•rooms had hten knocked Into
one to form a dining-room for him ; there was no
.body on board with a handle to his name whom he
could ask to Mutter. The poor lad must have had a
eyeful time of it. When became on deck to take the
air, he used to sit aloof, looking very like a sick
Monkey. What would he not have ;given to be al
lowed to smoke a coloreds clam, to indulge in t wen
ty,minutes, skylarking, and ,to pitch his tutors and
governors overboard 1 ,,
Here we may introduce a bit of the par
ticular humor, which has made Mr. Sala a
favorite with the immense class in Eng
land who take up the newspaper merely
to be amused
" One diecontented spirit there certainly was on
board the Conway. He was a Frenchman, and a
very eleyer Frenchman to boot ; but he was an
inveterate grumbler. Of course with such a band
of sympathy between us, the foreign gentleman and
your Commissioner swore eternal friendship, and •
grumbled in unhon. He had an idea that the sa
loon stewards on board—who were mostly bright
mulattoes from the British West India Islands—
despised him because he was an alien. Yen I ask
him for ye mestarde, , he complained to me,' zey

accommodation on board the Conway, he was, if
poseibfe, more bitter.' ' You eve hear,' he would
ask me, of re Pirarttri.--ordn nave been told of ces

Our readers will probably agree with us
that, in such writing as this, a very little
humor can be manikged so as to go a great
way.
Like most Englishmen, Mr. S. has a
good deal to say about cooking. His idea
of pepperpot" is tdo grand to be omitted :
Byremember what a Moat of gratulation broke
frerri ua when, 'On a certain Thursday, the head
steward annionced that there would se pepperpot
t.comer row. Pepperpot I Aha I Do you know what
it is i Take of the flesh of sheep and oxen, and

ly from Congo, where t it had o been and used la the rays
terious rites of °berth.- They do say that a plump
negru baby is a moat succulent addition to this most
dainty dish, All la flesh that comes to the Sala
bash."
Mr. Sala confesses that the SPaniards on
board were very abstentious ; "the English
ate tremendously. It is quite a mistake,"
he says, "to suppose that the heat of the
tropics takes away your appetite, or that
something light and cool—cold lamb and
salad, for instance, or corned beef and beet
,
root—are the best fare you can have for
dinner. I have a distinct recollection of
the mighty consumption of rump steaks,
mutton chops, curried rabbit, and eggs and
bacon, at the captain's end of the table.on
board the Conway." And,he adds :

The ilindoo lives on rise and vegetables; but the
English India—what do they dot They eat a
sheep at breakfast; they eat a. bullock et dinner;
they drink a barrel of brandy; and, then they say
'Ohl we are RI ; , and the English doctors give
them a pound of calomel. And ;then they eat more
sheep and bullocks, and drink more brandy. and
die; and the climate—the Innocent climate—bas to
=mew it all.'"
As Mal, Mr. Sala has a few hits at the
Americans. He complains that he found
them uncourteeus, which he did not mind,
and says : "But for all this their tacitur—
nity puzzles me. Were they 'as sulky
before the war ? Tell us, Mr. Trollope---
tell us, Mr. Dicey. I ask because the ma
joiity of Americans I have met in Europe
were garrulous enough to talk the leg off
an iron pot."
We have before us, in the.Dagy TeEe
graph of July 2Gth, (and hereby thank a
worthy Ynglish sojourner here for the use
of his file of newspapers,) Sala's ex
perience and impressions of the celebration
of the Fourth of July in New York. It is
amusing and extravagantl—a view of a
peCuliar celebration through the minify
ing end of a Cockney telescope. We in
tend noticing if some_ day next week.
Tennyson's "Specimen of a Translation
of lUe:lliod."
Those who have read Mr. Matthew Ar
nold's lectures relating to the translation of
Homer will remember some criticise:LC.l:m
the qualifications of Mr. Tennysonfor such
an enterprise, in which the writer denies
to Tennyson the quality of simplicity in
the sense ill which it is, attributed to Ho
mer. When these lectures were written, we
are not - aware that any attempt atra_ trans
lation of - Homer had been made or, at any
rate, had been publicly made, by Mr. Tenny
son. But in his last volume there occurs a
beautiful "Specimen of a Translation of the
Iliad in Blank Verse." It has the merit of
simplicity and also of a wonderful close
ness to the original. Twenty lines of Ho
mer are rendered in twenty-iwo lines of
faultless English verse,with a literal fidelity
to the meaning of the original words,
whiCh could hardly be surpassed in the
plainest prose. This "specimen" is the
more interesting from the fact that it in
cludes the famous, moonlight scene passage,
from the Iliad, so well known in PoPe's
version of it. We 'dive both translations
below. The passage is found, in the origi
nal, at the end of the eighth book of the
Iliad, lines 554, 562:
TRIVNTSOW.
"Many o, fire before them blazed;
As when in Leaven the stars about the moon
Look beautiful when all the winds are laid,
And every height comes out, and jutting peak
-And valley, and the immeasurable heavens
Break open to their blithest, and all the atm%
Shine, and the Shepherd gladdens in his heart;
So many a fire between the chips aniistream
01 Xant hue blazed before the towers of. Troy.
d thousand on the plain."
•
" And beamlng fires Illumined all the ground.
As when the moon, refulgent lamp of night I
O'er heaven's clear azure spreads nersacred ll,ght,
When not-a breath disturbs the deep serene,
And not cloud o'ercasts the solemn scene;
Around her throne the vivid planets roll,
And stare unnumbered gad tee glowing pole,'
O'er the earls trees a yellower verdure shed,
And tip with silver every mountain's head;
Then shine the vales, the rocks In prospect rlseq ,
A flood nf glory bursts from all the skies ;p
The 00118Ci0738 WAELLDI3, rejoicing in the sight,
Eye the blue vault, and We , s the useful light;
So many flames before proud Ilion blase, '
And lighten glimmering Nautilus with their rays ;
The long reflections of the distant tires • -
Gleam on the wails and tremble on the spires.
A thousand piles the.dusky horrors gild,
-• And Shoot a shady lustre o'er the field.'_',
These lines by. Pope are sonorous and
have their own merit ; but their merit is
'Wither simplicity nor truth to nature nor
fidelity to the original. Wordsworth, in
sp4king of the period of English poetry.
between the appearance of Paradise Lost
and Thompson's Seasons, says : " To what
a low state knowledge of the most obvious
and important phenomena had sunk, is evi
dent from the style in which Dryden has
executed a description of nights in one of
his tragedies .(The Indian Emperor), and.
Pope in his translation of the celebrated
moonlight scene in the Marl.,
in thehabit of "-attending accurately to de
scriptions casually dropped from the lips of
those around him, might easily depict these
appearances with more truth. Dryden's
lines are vague, bombastic, and senseless ;
those of Pope, though he had Homer to
guide him, are throughout false and con
tradictory. —The verses of Dryden, once_
highly celebrated, are forgotten ; those of
Pope still retain their hold upon public
estimation—nay, there is not a passage of
descriptive poetry, which at this day rinds
so many and such ardent admirers. Strange
to think of an , enthusiast, as may have been
the case with thousands, reciting those
verses under the cape of a moonlight sky,
without having his raptures in the - least
disturbed by a suspicion of their absurdity."
If we do not mistake, there is one par
ticular in which both of the translations
above quoted are at variance with nature,
viz in representing a night which is-illu
minated by a full moon, and which, at the
same time, shows all the stars and the
depths of the heavens with especial clear
ness. Whereas, it is obvious that, in point
of fact, when the moon shines in. full bril
liancy, there is such a veil of light drawn
over the blue of the sky as to render the
stars somewhat obscure, and that on such
a night the " immeasurable heavens" do
not-reveal their depths and "break open to
to their highest." But it is interesting to
find, on turning to the origirial, this
apparent inaccuracy is not the 'fault of
the translators, nor is it attributable to.
Homer. The only passage 'which con
veys the idea that the light of the moon
is especially brilliant, is the one included
in the fourth, fifth, and sixth of Tennyson's
lines—as far as the word "highest." • This,
in the original, as now printed, is enclosed
in brackets, as indicating a passage which
is :`corrupt, spurious, or misplaced, But
the same lines are found, evidently in their
proper place, in the sixteenth book Of the
Iliad, lines 209 and 800, where they are
beautiful and have reference (as we
understand them-) to the'sweeping away of
a thick cloud from the face of the sky.
Leaving these lines out, there is nothing in
the passage above translated which presents
the image of a full or -especially brilliant
moon. It lends additional beauty to the
scene to introduce the moon. But it is in
troduced only as one among many lights,
and the force of the simile consists mainly
in the picture of the vast number and the
brightness of the heavenly bodies. Were
the moon full or nearly so, the. eye would
cease to remark either the number of the
stars or their brilliancy.—Boslon Advertiser.
An Artist'is yite in Borne:
Our artiste, especially those . of the' • gentbiktirkx,
will be interested in this acenint of Barbara
Churchill's life as an artist in Rome. It is from.
Bliss Edwards' admirable novel, "Barbara's His
tory : •
" In Rome the artist feels impelled to stapfOrever
and beat rest. Eta - him, other cities lose their old
attractions; modern art, progress, personal ambi
tion, cease alike to be of importance in his eyes;
effort and emulation pain from him like mere
dreams; 'he walks amid alt orld of art in ruins,'
and would lain loiter away the remainder of his
days among the wrecks of this antique world. Nor.
does he even_ feel that a life thus anent were nn- •
worthy of the allius that is in him. Self-forgetting,
reverential a sorbed, he stands In the presence of
the ITrunsfiguration , lite a mortal be.fore the
gtds. II ever be chances to look back Upon his'
rimer avdrations, it is with a sense of inferiority
that la nilther humiliation nor envy, nor despair ; •
but only lassitude of spirit, and the willing homage
of the soul. Thus be comes L 9 lire more ill the past
than the present, more in the ideal than the real.
'I bus, too, all that is not Rome grrtilually loosens its
bold upon his heart and hie imagination. He feels
that certain statues arid pietures are henceforth
necessary to him, and that pertain ruins have ba
scule almost a p art of hilibeing. He could scarce.
ly lire away from the Vatican, or the Campidoglio,
or the sweet vid face of Beatrice Cenci lu the Bar
r•ei int palace; and not to be within reach of Cara-
Baths, or the solemn corridors of the
Oolos
;cum, would be exile unbearable. In this mood, he
sillier a the years to go by unheeded, and voltuiteri
blots his name from the book of the Future • for

But tor the strong tie binding Me to the present,
and but for that lave which had of late become more

long reverie of admiration before

".The grandenz that was Greece, and the glory that
_sae Rome.
!!"W e Died on the Pincian Hlll,_elose by the gar
dens of the French. Academy. Far and wide be
neath our windows lay the spires and housetops of
_the eternal city, with the Dodo pines standing oat
against the western horizon. At the back we had a
loggia overlooking the garden studios of the French •
school, with the plantations of the Borghese
and the snow.streaked Apennines beyond. Alt,
what glorious, eights .and sounds we had from these
upper windows on the Pinchian Hill! What pomp
end pageantry of cloudl What mists of golden
dawn ! What flashes of crimson sunset upon distant
peaks Row - often 'we heard the chimes at mid
night,' rung out from three hundred churches, and
were awakened In the early morning by military
music, and the tramp Of French troops march
ing to parade I Alter .of
we used to go
down into the city to . see some' public or private
collection ; or, map , in hand, trace the site of
a temple .or a forum. Sometimes we.make pious
pilgrimages to places famous' in aft or history,
such as the house -of Rienzi, the - tomb or Raf
ladle, or the graves of -our poets in the Protes
tant burial-ground. Sometimes, when the morning
was: et or dull, we peered, a few pleasant hours in
- the studios of the Via alarguttai - where the artists:
• most do congregate,' or ' loitered our time away
among the. curiosity shops of the Via Condotti.
Later in.the.day, our horses were brought round,
and we rode or drove beyond the walls, towards Au.
temme or Veil ; or along the meadows behind the
Vatican ; or out by the Fountain of Egeria, in sight
of those ruined aqueducts whioh- thread the brown
wastes of the Campagna, like a funeral procession
turned to atone. _Then, when_ evening came, eto
piled the loge upon the hearth and read aloud by
turns ;or finished the morning sketches. Now and
then,if it were_moonlight, we went out 'again ; and
sometimes, though seldom, dropped in OIL hour -
at the opera, or the Theatre aletestaalo.
• ! pleasant morning 'of youth, when: these
things made the earnest business of oar lives; when
the choice of a bronze or a
o ameo ()coupled our
thoughts for halfaday,„and the purchase of a mosaley
.was matter for our gravest consideration; when the
TEseeht g of a. poem made us sad, or the sight of a
palnting'oulekehed the beating of our hearts, or the
finding of some worthless relic- tilled us 'with de
light! • We could not then conceive that we should
ever_know more serious cares than these, or take
half .the Interest, in Ilylngnten and women that we
:took-in'the Seiplos'and Setvilli of old. We loVed
Herne as if It were our •inatiVe city and thought'
there could be no place in the world half •so .en
chanting but ..that was' -because we were, so,
happy in it, and so solitary. We liVed only in the
paet,:and for each other. We had. - no friends; and
cared to Make - Excepting as We 'Were oar;
selves concerned, the present' -possessed but little
interest for us; and dwelling, amid the tombs and.
palaces of a vanished race,,w e seemed tO liv.e doubly
isolated from our fellow•meu. • Thus the winter
months glided away, and the spring-time came,-and
Lent was kept and ended. Thus Rome madelloß.

'Mrs. Margaret Leonard, who was recently re.
leased from Castle Thunder and lett Richmond on
the 12th instant for her home in Boston, makes the
following statement of the circumstances attending
her capture, her treatment while in.the rebel lines,
and her experience in other respects :
My husband, Newton Leonard, volunteered, in
January last, in the 2d Massachusetts Heavy Artil
lery. When his company was ordered to the seat
of war, Freoeired permission to go with his oomPany
as laundress. The regiment first went to Norfolk,
Virginia, and feom*thenee was ordered to Plymouth,
North Carolina. This place was captured on the
20th of April by the rebels, with all that was in
it; including my trunks, over which the rebels
and our own men had a quarrel for the posses
sion, but the rebels got them. The rebels gave
me nothing balk, nut even a hat for my head.' I
had nothing only what was on my back. They seized
all the money, goods, and everything else they
could take Irons our men.• There were a gcod many
wounded at Ply mouth after the• battle, and they
left me there tour weeks irs the hospital as a nurse.
At the end of that time I was taken to Anderson.
.vile, Ga., in box cart. They kept me ten days
there and treated me kindly. My husband was al
lowed to visit me every day. This was the- only
place at which they showed me any kindness. At
the end of ten days they, took me to Riehmond and
lodged me In Castle Thunder. I arrived fit Rich
mond the 9th of June and remainedthere until the
12th of August. All the rations the prisoners have -
in Castle Thunder .are corn - bread and water and
rotten bacon. They have. not half. enough to eat.
For the test five weeka they gaveMe no soap, not so
much as would wash my hands. They keep what
they call deserters, spies and Yankee bushwhack
eta in Castle Thunder. There are not many prison
ers nos in Richmond ; but there' are twenty-seven
thousand at Andersonville and lilacon, Georgia,
and they are 'dying very' fast of scurvy, chronic ,
diarrhoea, anddropsy. Tf they. are not soon released
there will not be many left to release. While I was
at Ana ereonville I saw them burying OUT prisoners
every day.' There are no prisoners now at Belle
Isle, and very few in the other Richmond prisons.
There were only two other prisoners . in the female
department of the Castle with me. We lied mat.
tresses of straw to sleep on. Dr. Lugo is confined to
a eel), and the rebels say he is a spy, and la going
to belrong. 'They used to put him in a Deli at night
. and lithim out in the daytime, bat now they keep
bins there night and day.
Col. Fry has a ball and chain fastened to him, be.
pause they have tr.:suspicion that he was a spy. .We
could hear Grant's cannon at Petersburg every day.
We used to get the Richmond Examiner every day,
and read -in it that Grant was dead. The rebels
thought he was for about a fortnight. The people
of Richmond have nothing to eat but corn bread
and bacon. The rebel officers at Castle Thunder
have only the same and some vegetables they get
out of a gaiden they have t here.
0/187EL G.eatUul..Mo.-11.18 place, where the Pope
is at the present moment staying, Is situate at
eleven miles from Rume, and allies the reign of
Urbain VIII. has been the favorite country rest-_',
dence of the Pontiffs. Prom the elevation of the
site the air is excellent, and the view of the Medi
terranean extends from the Circe promontory to
Olvita Vecchia. The lake Is celebrated in Roman
history; Plutarch gives details of the piercing of
Mount Albano for obtaining a supply of its waters,
and the Roman aqueGuct may still be seen intact
alter a lapse of two thousand years. Domitian had
naval battles represented on the lake, and added
the sumptuous villa which now belongs to the Bar.
bruin! family. Gonna/Moe is believed to have
}liven the lake to the Church of . St. John the
aptist, which ha had erected at Albano. A.
pleasant villa 'seems to have existed titers ° in the
middle ages fur the Emperors when they came to
Rome. • Later, the chronicles mention a fortress,
An Ganoulphi, on the shores Cl the lake. A family
ot that name existed in Rome in the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries. An Ott; Gandolphe was sena
tor ot Borne in 1123. The 'fortress afterwards be,
came the property of Savelli; the lake then belonged
to the Abbey of Grottaferrata. The celebrated Car
dinal Mersarota built the town of Castel Gandolfo
with the remains of ancient Alba. Pins II:, in his
commentaries ' speaks with admiration of the pano
rama 05 Castel Gandolfo, of which the lOU, in the
form of an amphitheatre, formed an enchanting
spectacle. Sixtus V. raised Castel Gandolfo into a
duchy for Bernardin Savelli. the Apostolic Cham
ber having paid 150 000 crowns to the creditors of
that family. Clement by the copal&
torial decree of 1601, incorporated Castel Gan
dolfo with the temporal demesne of the
Holy See, and included it expressly in the
bull of Pins V. de non Weudanas Donis Ecclestz..
Nothing shows that Clement VIII, ever though,. of
Castel Gandolfo as a country seat. Paul V....wh0
rent:lend the country more salubrious by draining
the Lake of Tome, had the celebrated Villa Mon
dragone erected at Frascati. It was reserved fur
Urbaln Vlll. to definitely choose Castel Gandolfo.
Be had the place built and the garden laid out, and
opened the shady roads which lead to Albano and
the convent of the Uapuntnes. He went there every
year, and a large number of his bulls are dated from
that place; among others, tile bull for the erection
of the Vatican College. Alexander V. enlarged and
completed the Pontifical Palace, constructed the ex
' tenor wall es a defence,
and built the parish church
dedicated to St. Thomas of Villeneuve. Clement XI ,
jionediet XIV., and .Clement seen showed a
special predilection for Caged Gandolfo, which rest
deuce was also recommended to them by their phy
elcians. In 1802. the Apostolic Chamber sold the
lake to Prince POnlatowski. The macre, as is well
known, contain excellent eels.—GolignanPs Mee

TICE REMATIIIB Or Ali IRISH ELlC.—Portions of
four skeletons of the above extinct animal have,
within the last few days, been exhumed in the im
mediate neighborhood of Banbridgl Ireland. We
have just examined one of these, which was dug up
a week ago in the townland of Ardbrin, about four
miles from this place, by a .farmer whilst engaged
in sinking a flex pit. Judging from the gigantic
proportions of the parts of this skeleton, the animal
must have been a very tine emecinuin, indeed, of
that noble-lookingcreature, whose .remains are all
the mote interesting to us as Irishmen, since they

think that it. could nothave been less thanabout la

must have stood about seven feet high, measured
frum the hoof to the rite of the shoulder; of course,
it measured thug from the crown of the head, when
rt stood erect, it could not have been much leas than
ten or eleven feet from the , ground to that point.
The antlers, which are seven feet two inches apart
at the extremities, fotir feet six inchesflong respec
tively, and two lest nine inches across the blades,
were Mural, toaether with the frontal bones of the

country bumpkin, more intent on doing mischief
than on seeking Information. in the absence of the
fanner, wantonly smashed one of these splendid
antlers badly.—Newry Te/sereph.

A correspondent of the rribwnc was captured last
Tuesday by guerillas, while en route from .Stras
burg to Harper's Ferry. He thus narrates his ad
ventures:,
We Canis on . towards Harper's Ferry, believing
the note to be clear. Seven miles from Berryville
we passed an old gentleman in a carriage, who as
sured us that the ?mate was clear; Halt a milltbb
yonileoldier in Confederate uniform, watr-Aeels
wal quietly along therein', withhislackethurig
upo arm. He bowed respeotfullyas. we passed,
but I moved on more quietly and cautiously. Sud
denly, from out oL the oak woods, a squad of horse- -
men, unmistakably -gray; appeared before me.
'Who are soul—and where are you
_going pl said
the Captain. I told him who I was, which saved
him the ;necessity of.pmesing any questions as to
n here I vigis going. They led me away into the woods,
warning Inc not toapeak alodd, except when gees-
Mined. , We rode quietly for a short distance, when
one tiding by my side asked the time of day, and
kindly proposed to take chargiof my watch for me.
1 handed it to him without reluotance, simply ask
ing him to take good carepf U. • " Your. pooket
book, too," said he; " those follows will steal it
(pointing to the gray backs about him) if you don't."
"Certainly," said 1, and handed him my pocket
boolr, "Haveseumo more greenbacks'!" said he. I
assured film be had them all. Whereto will all
this kindness grow, thought I, as my-eyes fell upon
a picket , rope, strapped up with a coat, behind the
Saddle of.eme ofthem.' Another came up and kindly
offered toll ake care of my breastpin for me.- I told
bite I thought it would - be safe, but ho immured me
that it wouldn't, and I accepted his kindness. Then
I gaVe pp my note-book, and then one by one every
article 'which I had upon my person, down to a
toothpick, including the 'principal part of my elotte
itg. I, was by this .time led quite a distance Into
the woods. Illy note book. and correspondence, and
private papers, and certain papers in Swett" hand,
wera.readthrough and through b 3 the captain, who
talked ingrily to those about him, asaomething
fensivelnithe writings met his eye. What are you
" going.th do wi th him, asked one, silently. “Going
to ha ng him," said the Captain, and I. saw a man
begin to Artibuolile the , bundle containing - the rope.
I attempted to speak, hut just then a whistle was
heard, Which aMacted. the attention of them all,
and pfetently a vidette came running in and re
ported that a partyof ten Yankee cavalry was com-.
log. The Captain looked atme and at the shorthand
for a moment, and said, "so you came down here to
write Abolition Des for Horace Greeley, did you 1"
I tried to, mutter. something. Which . had you
rather be, shot 6r hung, said the Captain ; just then
another picket came in saying -the Yankees were
near. ..111dunt your horse" and charge with us
-and if you attempt to fall out, we'll shootyon dead;
sir, on the spot." I was put by the side of a rebel,
who was ordered to devote himself particularly to
me; I was CreedVited with a gray coat and Confede
rate buttons, and I joined the column.. I formed a
resolution) and hope exultant arose for gm moment,
as my home galloped on in the charge. We came
close upon the Yankees, before they observed us,
and the rebels fired a volley, -which was answer
ed, and for a moment the firing was rapid, and
bullets were whistling. Now there Was a mo
ments' confusion,.and my comrade ,was • affected.
Now for a flank movement, thought II I turned - my
horse, plunged through the woods with several bul

plunged fifteen feet, and to my surprise my horse
was nprand.off eigain,.and,l was inthe saddle. They
bad flown off; afgray goat I moulted in a second,
and it wall not many minutes before I;reached the
village of Charleston, four ",miles distant. I was
eight miles still from Union lines at Harper's Ferry.
I was hatless and. coatlesa and stripped of every

The Prescott (Canada) Telegraph has the following
account of a hazardous exploit :
"During the latter part of July two men, named
Violet Jones, of 'the - Pus!leer Guards, and Robert
Weledi, , of Mr. Barker's exchange office, Prescott,
left here on a trip to Montreal; intending to ran
the rapids of the St. Lawrence.* They started in
a lapstreak
.skiff, twenty-one beet long, three feet
ser. inches beam, and carried with them two
pairs of oars, a sail and a tent, with the necessary I
cooking apparatus, aut., for camp life. . They sae-• !
ceeded in running - the Gallops, Rapid du Plat, and '
the north channel of .the Lung Sault as far as the
point the Same evening. Being afraid to venture the
remainder of the •ellannel, they carried their boat
and traps.across the island to the head of the South .
-Channel, but the darbellages was so intense that they
considered • discretiorithrThetter part of valor,' and
they camped on the island alt-night. The following
-morning, they '.packed': up their duds,' and made'
another and this time,. sucoessful. attempt, accom
panied ! by .the cheers of about twenty people who
had congregated upon the shore. The peril of the
undertaking Will be betterunderatood when we state
that the swells.waahed over the boat, half tilltng
with water, one of whieh.struck the man at the oars
(Welch) in the .fhco, almost depriving him of his
breath. They then ran to AegansbUrg, whore they
laid over-a day. *: • '
Next morning the Coteatt-Rapids were passed
in beautiful style, and . they aeon-reached the,Oca_
. dars, the most splendid, rapid of the whole lot to
ran.' The Slit Rock nerly finished our-adventur
ers. 'Being unacquainted with'.the channel, they
took the north shore, and when only about one hull
dretLyarda off, in a very swift current, they saw
'ahead graham a tall of about seven rect. By hard
pullivg and good steering, howerer, they succeeded
•in making the Old Look,' on the 'north side, when

went back to the head, when a passing raft pointed

" Then came the Cascades. flare they were ad
vised bye gentleman whom they met not to attempt
to run them, Bathe Cascades had never been ran by
anything entailer than a batteart, and he w as sure
they • would be drowned. Notwithstanding. this
they determined .to . proceed,_ and were anxiously
watched In their perilous journey fly the gentleman
above spoken of, The first pitch was passed safely ;*
at the second: however, the boat went down, an
s truck—whether, the bottom or a rock they could not,
ot course, say. She, however, raised, they supposed
by the force of the current, although filled with wa
ter, and was carried about thirty yards to a friendly
rock. The moment they struck still water the boat
£ , upk. The rock before spoken of, however was
near, and, though small;here they bailed oat ' their
boat and prepared to start again. Mounted on this
lonely rock they took
,a . view of the 'situation,' be.
trig anxiously dealrous . to 'change their base' but
no assistance could there reach them, and noiens
miens, they bad to take to-their boat again. A
point ahead was selected, and they determined if the
boat should swamp in the rapids ahead, they would
stick to her as long as she wits kept up by the cur
rent and their lustily-plied oars, and then abandon
ing her swim for the point.
Altlitugh badly tossed, however, she still kept
up, and, about half filled with water, bravely she
came out of this latter peril. They reached the
point. bailed their boat, hoisted sail. and started
across Lake St. Peter, seachlng the Nun's Island
that night, where they camped. This was a good
day's work. Seven rapids, large and small, were
passed, and two lakes, melting a distance of
about seventy miles ; and. although wet to the
skin,' they slept soundly, reeling _thankful, it is to
be hoped, to a bountiful Providence, to whose pro
tective hand they, in a peculiar manner, this day
owed their lives. The next morning they reached
Caugbnawaga, and were here strongly advised by
a gentleman from the Montreal Telegraph and others
against attempting this now danger. But they had
passed through so many perils safely they had no
notion of quitting their sell-imposed task until they
had ocinpleted it. :They aocordingly did run the
Lachine Rapid. and ran it safely and without ad
venture, thus making the entire trip from Prescott
to Montreal -in a Skiff of one hundred pounds
weight, with about five hundred and twelve pounds
load, including baggage, their own weight, etc.
"Jall'the rapids were run at cm first. The reason
for this Islthitt a better brace may be obtained with
the oars in this positlon—the bolt being at the cam
plete command of the man at the oars, who, besides,
goes down facing the danger. In !nett places a
quick eye anesteady hand are imPetative, and even
these, we should Imagine, would hardly insure eafe
ty at all times. We hope Meseta. Welch and Janet
will not and many. imitators.),

leered in the market thin weep from Colorado and
daho Territories, and there have also been Caster
mere from Kansas, lowa and KentuCky. It is too
early In the,season to expect an active trade, and the
facilities for transportation are yearly increasing,
so that It is not so necessary, as formerly, to pur
chase goods for distant points early in the season bcis
Italie their arrivfng in time for the autumn trade.
Title Is ale° Prwinentialrelestion year, which ibis
usually expected . willhave some influence in retard.
lug business,:•and the high prices ruling are also not
calculated to help an early trade With manures..
tuft's things remain about as last reported. With
moat manulacturm, who have been manufacturing
largely, there is a disposition to hold up a little, and
make further sales be - ore driving on with full force.
On the whole, there has been rather more quietness
among the manufacturers the past week The an*.

Boston Boot and Slime Market, Aug. /7.
There are no additional features to report In the
Shoe Market for the pest week, the excessive heat at
Mkt petlbd making business operations almost a
secondary consideration. The season's busineei wit
show a good footing up, and compare favorably with
former seasons. Prices of goods are still firm and
higb r and the demand is fair for the season. There
is a very limited call from the New England States
and Provinces, but a good share of orders come in
from the West and Southwest, and the wants at
those sections will be large. The cost of stock un.
dergoes very little change, and high prices are still
the order of the day.
The total shipment of boots and shoes by raft ! swik'
sea for the week have been 10,974 cases. CitfShdi
number 9.983 oases have been sent by relies follet*4-,

Business in the Oil way continues very dull, sail
the Bales have barely been worth recording. The

stage of water in the Allegheny river prevents re
ceipts, except in a small way. The weather has
bean warm, with' occasional showers, but not suffi
cient to have any effect on the striae of water in the
Allegheny. The market at 011 Oity was firm at the
dote of our last reports. Thernomlaal rates were tie
