MIMI IN Tee DrirtitT.—From one of
*quell Taylor's letter frtnn the interior
et Mies, to the N. Y. Tribune, dated in
Southern Nubia, on the 21)th Dec., we
takte the following reference to an inter
esting phenomenon of the desert t
"Beyond the Dalirbels-ms, (which seems
to by the dry bed of a river,) extends the
brood central plateau of the desert, 1,500
Asst above the sea. It is a vast roach of
yellow sand, dotted with low, isolated
MU., Whieb in some places are based on
lye beds of a tight gray sand stone, of an
unusually fine end even grain. On this
plain the mirage, which first appeared in
**Sibiu. presented itself under a variety
ofWonderful aspects. Sinee•then, 1 have
Hitt it every day, (or hours together, and
tried in satin to satisfy myself how it is oc
squilolltiti. It appears on all sideclexcept
that directly opposite to the sun, but rarely
before 9 A. M., or after 3P. M. The i
color of the apparent water is always pre
eisely that of the sky, and this is a g I
Wit to distinguish it from real water which
is invariably of a deeper hue. It is seen
on a gravelly as well as on a sandy out
flow, and often fills with shining pools the
alight depressions in the soil at the bases
of the hills. IVliere it extends to the
horizon there is no apparent line, and it
then becomes an inlet of the sky, as if the
walls of Heaven were melting down and
Swill in upon the earth. Sometimes a
whole mountain chain id lifted from the
horizon and hung in the air, with its re
flected image joined to it, base to . base.—
I have frequently seen, during the fore
noon, lakes of sparkling blue water, ap
parently nova quarter of a mile distant.—
The waves ripple in the wind ; tall reeds
and water plants grow on the margin, and
the desert rocks behind cast their shadow
on the surface. It is impossible to believe
it a dentition. You advance nearer, and
suddenly, you know not how, the lake
vanishes. There is a grayish film over
the _ spot. but before you have decided
whether the film is in the air or in your
styes, that too disappears, and you sets
dn
ly the naked sand. What you took to be
reeds and water plants, probably shows it.

“Tna Hititstrr. I have thought that
some account of Andrew Job, 'be Her
mit, so well known in this part of the
world. might not be unaoceptable to your
readers.,
He resides not far from the division line
between Maryland and Pennsylvania, in
the latter State. He is a stout healthy
man. about 80 years of age, a farmer ; but
carries on his farming operations rather
different from his neighbors. He digs
his ground with a mattock, and then marks
it out with a wheel-barrow, pickingoff all
the loose stones, as lie goes along. He
raises nothing but corn ; plants it, and-nev
er works it aferwards ; so you may judge
that he does not raise a very abundant
crop. He sowsno grass seeds, but mows
his meadow-lands, and drags his hay
horse on two poles.
He Wears no clothing. in sumpttrw—
• but daubs himself over with mud, to guard
against the annoyance of flies. His habit
of going naked in summer, has caused the
hair to grow upon his body, and like
Esau. of old, he may be said to be a "hairy
men.” He never shaves his beard, which
is aboita foot in length, and hangs down
front his chin, in matted striae. He is said
to be one of the strongest men, and his
'Wraith it attributed by some to the fact
of his not shaving. He keeps one cow,
and milks her himself. He gets no meal

apparently a happy life.

The Maine tam In the House.
IrrOn Wednesday, iu the House, the
Maine Liquor Law, was taken up and pass
ed through the committee of the whole.—
Ineffectual efforts were made to amend and
postpone the bill indefinitely. A substi

inserting a section changing the mode of
granting tavern licenses, which, after a de

lloke, a member of the Legis

ed a supplement to the $3OO Exemption
Law, the features of which are -to protect
printers, and repeals that law so far as
their interests are concerned. 'We hope
the Col. may be successful in the passage
of his supplement, and thereby secure pro
tection, to the craft, at least so far as news
paper subscriptions are concerned ; for
there is certainly no class of husiness so
much exposed and more liable to be
im

printers.
KrThe municipal election in Portland,
Maine, on Tuesday last, resulted in the
success of the Locofoeo candidate for May
or, A. K. Parris, over Neal Dow (Whig,)
the present incumbent, known as the auth
or of the "Maine Law."
The Locofocos stuck to their political
ticket, as tuna!, while the Whiganti-Maine
Law men voted the Locofoco ticket, and
thus carried the city, which is always close.
This, therefore, is not a fair test of public
opinion in Maine. In her recent town
elections, so far as we have returns, the
voice of the people is as follows:

The Old Court House.
MKURS EDITORS :
Another terni of our Court is approach
ing, reminding me very forcibly of the roil
ides incident to my stay in Gettysburg,
during the January Term, when I had the
misfairtnne to be a Juryman. Probably I
will never again be called upon to act in
that capacity, but I feel sufficient interest
in the comfort of my follow-men, to induce
me to raise my voice in earnest entreaty
that something may be done towards the
abatement of the nuisance, which stands
to the annoyance of all who are compelled
to frequent it, our present Court-House.—
It is in the inclemebt seasons of the year,
that the miserable accommodations, which
this public building presents, are most se
verely felt. If I could, I would attempt
to uortray the sufferings which were en
dured by all who attended at the January
Terns-:-.but only those who saw and felt its
realities, could be made to understand, as
my plain language would convey it, the ac
tual state of affairs.
Your readers, are doubtless all familiar
with the construction of the building—and
it were needless to attempt to prove that
of all arrangements that might have been
adopted in the construction of an edifice of
the kind, its present plan is least adapted to
comfort in cold and inclement weather. The
month of January was one of great severi
ty ; and on the first day of the Term, the
cold intense, through snow a foot deep,
I plodded my weary way to town. When
I arrived, Court had convened, and al
most frozen and exhausted I: sought the
Court-Room—hoping, though hardly ex
pecting, to find some comfort for my tired
limbs. Alas, for my expectations! I found
I was fortunate in being able to get with
in the door—and then my condition was
in no ways improved. Far from the
stoves, standing in water and 81'1314—push
ed buck and forth by the vibratory motion
of a shivering crowd, a cold blast of wind
blowing over me from the long spiral stair-1
ease, which reached, I supposed up to the
regions where snow and ice are perpetual—
I longed for my country fire-side, where,
homely though it be, I am protected from
the rude blasts of winter, and am happy in
my retirement. But what a contrast was
here ! and yet my duty compelled me to I
remain. By a persevering effort I was
enabled to penetrate the shifting mass of
half frozen men, and gradually approached
the stoves, and what a sight presented it-
self. The stoves, heated to intensity, re
sembled most two !`dazzling masses of in
fernal fire," whose *arming influence could
be felt in a magic circle immediately around
them ; but all their tays..felLpowerless
without. Add to this too, the combined
affluvia of liquor, tobacco and dirt, which
found their way to the lungs of all present,
and (to say nothing of the disastrous eff
ect on the human constitution,) you have
presented one of the most disgusting pict
ures of eivilizedlife, I am able to conceive.
But I weary ulyaelf and you too, in re
curring to the annoyances of this week.—
Every one who hasever been in the building,
knows that such scenes arc of constant oc
currence, and that it is impossible to pre
vent them, in a building where want of ven
tilation, bad construction, no seats, and
generally, an absence of every modern com
fort and convenience, renders them inevita
ble.
What is to be done to remedy the diffi
culty ? Build a new one ! Every coun
ty around us has a convenient and pleas-1
ant Court-Room, where Judge, jury end
witnesses can transact business with satis
faction and comfort. Let us not be behind
them. Let every man who is taken to
town, on business.connected with the Court,
speak out in favor of au improvement so
much to be desired, and the common sense
of the community will soon eff - ict the ob
ject sought. FRANKLIN.
Gems. Scott and the late Sir John
Harvey.
serThe Halifax papers, in recording the
death of the late Sir John Harvey, who
was at the battle of Lundy's Lade, relate
the following incident:
"At the battle of Stony Creek the A
mericans were defeated ; but Sir John nar
rowly escaped being shot. An American
rifleman was just presenting deadly aim
at his commanding figure, when a sword
struck aside the fire-lock with this expres
sion--. Don't shout that British officer; he
is preventing the shedding of blood.' Sir
John was riding among the combatants at
tempting to stop the carnage. The officer
who struck aside the rifle was Gen. Scott,
and the occurrence led to that great friend
ship which afterwards existed between the
two veterans."

not wish to charge corruption on any par
ticular Officer, but that there is a vast a
mount of Galphinism and favoritism
shown, is beyond dispute. "Figures," it
is said, "won't lie," but the figures in the
published reports, do lie, when they rep
resent the public works as being in a pros
perous condition. We see it here on the
Delaware Division, and we say it without
fear of treading on anybody's toes or corns,
that the Stale on this Division, is 1101111161:1

One of these days we will take an occasion

will be abolished, and some honest mode
of managing our public works, substituted
in ha place."

the ships that sail over the world shall

the time when this substance shall be ap

that what lie has now patented is but as
dust in the balance compared with the 11-
