LOUISE KELLOGG, it seems, has not a high appreciatin of Cleveland musical talent. While the audience in that city was tiring ou in an excessive encore, encore, the other evenin , she exclaimed, in the dressing-room. "What shalt I sing ? guesss I'll give 'em 'Sweet Home;' they can't appreciate anything higher." She sang the same song in Cincinnati— perhaps for the same reason. SIIEEI..—The wholesale butchery of sheep last autumn, so general, throughout the State of Ohio, is already beginning - to manifest its legitimate result. Sheep, which three months ago could scarcely find sale at from fifty to seventy-five cents per head, are now in demand at prices varying from one and a half to three dol lars, and"without do'ubt prices will con tinue to advance with the opening of Spring. '.THE PRESS OF TUE 'UNITED STATES.— A recent statistical publication says that in the United States there are 542 daily papers, 4,425 weekly, and 277 monthly— total 5,244.. The number of printing offices exceeds 6,000. In addition there are 56 tri-weekly papers, 64 semi-weekly, 46 semi-monthly publications, 297 month ly. 4 bi-monthly, and 24 quarterly, mak ing the total number of all American pub lications 5,734. or of newspapers proper, • a total of 5,353. POPMES.—It is reported that the culti ,vation of the poppy plant will be intro duced into Louisiana. A French gentle man at Natchitoches, it is stated, has an nounced his intention of planting in the -1 spring of 1.869, several acres of poppies, • and of manufacturing opium. It is as serted that an acre of poppies will make • fifty pounds of opium, worth fifteen to twenty dollars a pound, at a cost of less than four dollars a pound for manuttic turing, and that one man can cultivate three acres. . THE Italian Government, it is said, now uroposes to adopt a' ne v attitude with respect to Rome, and to ignore, as far as possible, the existence of both the city and the Pope, which governs .it. • The Vatican has wind of the intention, • ' and is much annoyed in anticipation. All attempts to arrange friendly terms will henceforward be abandoned as utterly i useless, on account of the dogged immo bility of the Papal counselors. The Ital ian government will try to do without • Rome in every way, and to await events. OIIT-DOOR RELIEF.—The number of patients in New York city who applied in 1868 to the Bureau of Out-door Sick, established in 1845 for the benefit of such . i persons as do not require constant medi cal attendance, amounted to 9,650 per sons, to whom 36,468 prescriptions were ' I furnished. In this Bureau the diseases are classified, and physicians assigned to each class. The more prominent dis eases treated are those affecting the eye and ear, the chest, the digestive organs ' .' and the skin. _ . TEE ALABAMA.—Mr. Graves, M. P. for Liverpool, said, in a speech in that city on Friday, that the treaty negotiated with the American Minister for the set tlement of the .eildbania claims was sure to be ratified by the United States Senate. He said the American claims were made with a dignity and maintained a forbearance that were fully appreciated by England. She had in consequence met the advances of the United States more than halt way, and receded from principles which had been •regarded as fundamental to the Br tish Constitution. THE eminent sur eon, Sir James Simpson, has lately call d attention to the ,fact that the walls of hospitals—brick, stone and plaster—become in time E 0 in filtrated with the emanations of disease as to be dangerous to patients; and he gives figures to show at, with the best skill and care of the g eat hospitals, three times as many patie is die of operations, as if they were atten ed at their homes. even where these si ould seem less salu brious. It is not a q estion of size or ven tilation, for a new h spital is healthy; but 1 in spite of all effo is at cleanliness, the building itself becomes diseased. CORNELL V I NIV RSITY.—The Trustees of this education I institution, now in i session in Alban , report that the re sources of the niversity amount to $76,744' par mann. , and that the expen ses for the profess( rships reach the sum of $38,600. The e i dowments amount to • $105,000, and $l7l ,000 will be required ; to place the instit tion in complete work i . mg order. The students number 368, and many more .pplied for admission. The library, it is reported, will receive large additions, a i d the British Govern ment has promise' to send out its official ; publications. THE Mont Cen s tunnel is advancing rapidly. A few e ore months and the railway lines of ranee and Italy will unite beneath a a ountain 5,300 feet high. It is slow work, 1 i the tunnel has to be pierced through extremely hard greenish ; gray sandstone mixed with quartz; 4,300 feet were hollowed out last year. The tunnel is to be 39,700 feet in length; .29,- 800 feet of the work .are already coin ; plete; the remaining 9,900 feet will take, , about twenty-seven or twenty-eight ; months to accomplish; so that by March or April, 1871, this stupendous work will probably be done. A TABLE has recently been published giving some interesting statistics of the New York theatres, which afford em ployment, as it appears, to 1,895 actors, actresses and other employees. This however, does not represent the actual number of persons who earn their sup port by ministering to the public.taste for amusement; as no accountis taken of the various concerts and other musical enter tainments which are given at irregular intervals In different halls, and the num ber of „which averages three or four a week all through the winter. The same table gives the average daily attendance atthe theatres as 23,300, and the average . daily receipts at $14,638. These figures can only be regarded as approximations to the truth, and in some cases represent not the attendance at n particular theatre, but its seating capacity. Making allow ance, however, for the concert-goers, who are not set down at all, the totals are •• probably- very near the truth. Most of our theatres this winter are unusually prosperous.—N. Y.

How many women are there even to day, whose sad experiences are paralleled by the incident above given. Who can tell ? Novellincendiarlsm. The,Newbury port eFire-Sug. tFrona the Boston Advertiser, Feb, 4.: By this entomological name the citi zens of Newburyport are wont to speak of the incendiary who for the past two years or more has disturbed their pence and eluded all attempts to detect him. His activity during the present winter has been greater than ever but the dam age which he has occasioned has not thus far corresponded with the frequency and persistency of his attempts to do mis chief. By timely discovery, many of the tires which he haslet have been speedily extinguished, in just the nick of time to prevent disastrous conflagrations. But a fear prevails that the city will not always be so fortunate, and that if the "fire-bug" is not arrested in his yillainy, the city will ere long be visited by a ca lamity as disastrous as that which fell upon it in 1811. The method employed by the incen diary is at once novel and ingenious. His kindling apparatus consists of a wooden box, about four inches square and fifteen inches long, with covered top and bottom, lined at the top and sides with tin, and having on one side, near the bottom, a hole" for the tire to issue from- In this box a candle is placed, surrounded at the bottom with combus tible materials, saturated with inflam mable oil. When the candle has burned so low that these materials are ignited, _ the flame issues from the apeiture in the box, and comes in contact with the wood-work of the building. which has previously been saturated with oil. Generally, the box is placed against the outside of the building intended to be destroyed, but when access is easily ob tained, it is placed upon the inside. It is .supposed that the incendiary comes I forth with his box at about six o'clock in the evening, when the factory operatives I I are going to their homes and he can pass most easily without observation, and the I time required for his infernal machine to I take effect varies with the condition of the atmosphere, the direction of the wind or some other_ circumstance whose effect he cannot always closely calculate. The first of those boxes secured by the city authorities was found on the night of December 15, 1867. Since that date, nesrly a dozen of them, in varipus stages of combustion, have been placed in the office of Mr. Fritz, the City Marshal; and the number entirely consumed is probe ' hip as large as those discovered in sea- I son to be saved. These boxes are simi lar in shape, are made of the same kind of materials, and their skillful construc tion shows that they are the work of a practiced band. The acts and motives of the incendiary afford abundant food for speculation; and there are not a few wiseacres who are con fident of their abi•ity to solve the mys tery by pointing out the culprit. Some assert that, the mischief is caused by some member- of the firedepartment; others declare that it is the work of some Carpenter who desires to keep his line of bueiness active . . while others are ,equally confident that some member of the • pollee force uses the advantages which his position offers to carry on the nefarious wdrk.. Stories are rife of rays! torious persons seen in suspicious places, and of men found wandering at night in Wornon's clothing. Planchette has been consulted, and has made revela= tions as 'conflicting as they aro extraoor dinary. One appeal to the "spirits" elicited a reply that the -Aires hanged work of young Clark, who was at Salem in 1821, for arson committed in tiewburort. ointed detec ves ha yp va tried their Self-a sk pp ill in watching for the incendiary, and In some in stances have found themselves tindet e surveillance of the regular'police; 1011 Many ludicrous !incidents have arisen from the authorlied and,unauthorized efforts for his discovery. A person seen after darkmith a bundle under his arm is at oncti an object of suspicion, and ' many innocent persons have been oh- liged to explain their movements. The 1 city authorities and the police are com: 1 1 pelted to submit to a great deal of sharp 1 criticism for their failure to discover the criminal, and are even charged with ne glect to take the proper , steps to that end. As we are not writing for the ben efit of the nfire-bug,"iwe shall not state the moans nhw employed for his dated tion; but we aro able to say that such I vigor and shill are enlisted for that pur pose, that he will ere long be compelled I to abandon his diabolical work, or find i himself in the hands of the officers of the law. , i PITTSBURGH GAZETTE : TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1869 .
