Le eS FRIDAY MORNING, Oct. 28, 1859, Manufacture of Postage Stamps.’ —'Phe:stamp combines the most perfeet protections known to modern art, and is subjected, during its manufacture, to many different processes which require the best artistic skill and mechanical ingenuity. The first artists in the country are employed to prepare the original dies; and there are several distinct branches of the engraving art exercised on every separate stamp. The paper whereon it is printed requires a nice adjustment of weight, density. sizing, calendering and absorbing qualities, in order that the various operations which it undergoes may not work inharmoniously to the disadvantage of the stamp. The simple item of gum alone has caused much earnest inquiry and repeated experiments, that a suitable article might be procured; and the printing is done by men of tried ex~ perience in steel and copper plate printing. The durable and then again the fleeting natures of the inks, have each a special object, whiie the perforation is not only a great conventenze, but a most valuable additional protection. The machines used for the purpose are superior improvements over those owned by the British Government, and are so delicate in their adjustments, punches, &c., as to require continual supervision and outlay of money, while a special machinist superintends their operation and keeps them ia repair. In short, all the obstacles to the successful counterfeit of a bank note are to be found in the stamp, and in connection with others of equal and novel importance.— Constitution. A Rowdy Chief of New York Sketched.—'the Utica Herald thus describes one of the cleverest and boldest of the Democratic mauagers of the State of New York: Fernando Wood is the Mephistophiles of politicians. He is the « mildest mannered man” that ever packed a caucus or got up a row.— He ie what boarding-shool misses would cali ws ‘love of a man.” Ilis form is slender, but faultlessly proportioned, his tread elastic to airiness, and carriage graceful to the last degree. His forehead is broad, without being massive, and his features regular, yet strongly marked.— ‘The general expression of his face is that of eternai placidity. He might have sat for the portrait of Oily Gammon, in Ten Thousand a Year ; avd were it not for the pitiless eye . and.those. closely-compressed _ lips, you might mistake him for a moral or a Home Missionary Society agent.— Te face of Louis Napoleon is not more sphynx-like in its expression. Without apparent dullness of the tatter, 1t has all its inserutability. We watched it narrowly during that terrible ‘row at Syracuse, and except that it was ashade paler, you could not have known that a humaf® passion had ever stirred. He has, in an eminent degree, the elements of a successful modern politician. He is cool, intrepid, shrewd; a man who would stand head and shoulders above his Democratic rivals in the State. Cotoma Vineyarps.—The Placerville Observer, speaking of the ability of the mountain districts to produce grapes, says. “In addition to the large amount of grapes sold and consumed. there are still enough in the limited distiict of Coloma to manufacture near ten thousand gallons of wine. Of this amount, Mr, Alhoff makes from his own vineyard 1,500 gallons,for which he has been offered $3,000; he will also manufacture from 500 to 1,000 gallons from the vineyards of others, Mr. Van Guelder will make from 1,500 to.2,000 gallons. Mr. Pierce having sold about five tons of grapes, this.season, will make but about 200 gailons. Mr. Wimmer will make 2,000 gallons. Mr. Wilder has already made 1,500, and will make at Jeast 500 more. Mrs. Robertson will make 400 gallors, while others whose names we do not have, will make more or less.” The following is supposed to be the ‘number of newspapers in the world: In Ausirala, 10, Africa 14, Spain 24, Portugal 26, Asia 30, Russia and Poland 50, in the German States 360, Great Britain and Irex land, 550; United States 2,000-—-total 2,164. From the foregoing it will be seen that in the Unfiited States are issuednearly twice asmany papers as in all other nations combined, Baptism in State: Prison.—In a let» ter-from the Rev. Mr. Gilbert, Baptist Minister, we learn, says the Bap tist Circular, that one of the convicts having given evidence of sound conversion, was baptized a few days ago, on profession of his faith, at San Quentin. FOR THE JOURNAL. the year 1849. MY FATHER’S GRAVE. ’Tis on a wild and distant plain, No gilded tomb to mark the spot, No seulptured marble to proclaim The lonely sleeper unforgot. No willow bends its weeping bough Above my slumbering father’s head, There’s naught to tell the passer-by That neath his feet repose the dead. But trav’ler, let thy weary feet Softly on those sods be pressed, For ‘neath them, rapt in silent death My own loved father now’s at rest Yes, Father! that dear sacred name Stilllives within this bosom’s core, Though long ago and far away They laid thee down forevermore. Pained memory calls the streaming eyes, That looked upon that dreary plain How when I left that sacred spot My youthful heart was rent in twain. Though I was only then a child, 4 And since that day long years have passed Yet, Father, shall this heart retain Thy sacred memory till the last. NADIO. A Picture of “The Little Giant.” A writer in the Cincinnati Commercial draws the following not very flattering picture of Senator Douglas : Douglas belongs, by temperament and constitution, to the race of bullies. His proper legitimate sphere is the bar room or the prize-~ring. He is just the kind of man to be the favorite of blacklegs and the idol of bottle-holders. His endowments of limb and muscle, his compact and busly solidity of form,and enormous fistic strength would have made him facile princeps among the Sullivans, and the Morrisseysand the Heenans. But the horoscope of his fortunes was differently cast, and having settled early in life in a backwoods country, he was fated to become a politician. In a commu: nity of little intellectual or moral culture, his rise was rapid, for his powers were just of the compass which fitted him to shme where a man of finer nature weuld have failed. He possessed moderate intellectual talents, an iron will, untiring energy, and unbounded ambition. He rose at length, through various gradations, to be a Senator of the United States, and, with greedy eyes devouring the Presidency from afar, he has shaped every scheme and strained every nerve to Winton ee The powers of Douglas as a public orator are limited to a plain and monotonous repetition of one idea, and a bovine power of bellowing it to the largest audience. He is destitute alike of variety, compass, humor, pathos and eloquence. He exhibits not a solitary gleam of genius, sot a ray of WIt, DOr a Spark of imagination.— The only element of eloquence he possesses is the vox et preterea nihil of Virgil. Natural Curiosities of California— Geysers in Plumas County.—According tothe Plumas (Quincy) Argus there is a cluster of boiling springs, situated in the northeast portion of its . county, wh'c covers an area of ten cres. It says: This urea is almost flat, and surrounded onits edge by large boulders, which seem to be fragments of lava. It would be safe to say that on th’s little spot of ground one thousand boiling, steaming springs exist, and so loud is the sound produced by the escape of the steam, that it is impossible to distinguish the voice of a man ten feet from you. In some of these springs there is a kind of sediment, about the consistency of common mush, which simmers and gurgles, and at times, entirely closes the aperture which is invariably succeeded by a deafening explosion, in the escape of the confined steam Everything smells strongly of sulphur, which may be gathered. in some instances, in large pieces, but is mostly found adhering to the rocks in the shape of a palpable powder—the effect of crystalization. There is also another mineral produced in the same manner, resembling quinine in its color and formation, but to the taste like alum, and there is uo doubt but that it ts al. umine. On one side of said flat there is a kind of chalk, white as snow, and resembling plaster after having been prepared for casting. Thete isa lit~tle plain of this, about twenty yards long, and half that in width, as level asa floor. But what is the most remarkable feature, is a stream of cold pure water ruuning through the centre of the flat. You can safely move among the springs, by submitting frequently to an envelopment in sulphurous vapor. About one mile from this flat, atan elevation of three hundred feet above it, there is a round lake, in diameter, about fifty yards, which is in a continual stare of agitation, resembling the boiling of a cauldron ; the earth around it is almost a blood red. ‘The springs are situated on the head waters of the north fork of Feather River, near Lassen’s Peak and not far from the (supposed) burning mountain. The N. Y. Tribune states that the English Government has dispatched, on a similar mission to that of Gen Scott, the Commander in Chief of the British Army, bis Royal High. ness, the Duke of Cambridge, to the same destination. Other papers contain reports to the same effect.

Neen eee Jefferson's Wedding and his WedMy father died while on his way to this country in ding Night — The following pleasing picture is from the “Early Days of Jefferson,” in the New York Century: “Belinda” (Jefferson’s first love) had been married many years. and her old admirer-was approaching thirty, when he met with a young lady of twenty-two, who produced a strong impression upon him. She was a little above the medium height, slender, but elegantly formed. A fair complexion, with delicate tint of the rose! large hazle eyes, full of life and feeling ; and luxuriant hair of a rich soft auburn, formed a combination of attractions which were eminently caleulated to move the heart of a youthful bachelor. In addition to all this, the lady wasadmirably graceful; she rode, danced and moved with elegant ease, and sang and played on the harpsichord very sweetly. Add_ still to these accomplishments the possession of excellent goed sense, very considerable cultivation, a warm, loving heait, and last, though ‘not least, notable talents for luuse-keeping, and it will not be difficult to understand how the youthful Mr. Jefferson came to visit very frequently at the lady’s residence, in the county of Charles City. It was called ‘The Forest,” and the lady was Mrs. Martha Skelton. Shewas a daughter of John Wayles, an eminent lawyer. and had married in her seventeenth year, Mr Bathurst Skelton, who dying in 1768, . ’ left his young wife a widow at nine teen. As the three years of mourning began to expire, the beautiful young lady found herself besieged at “The Forest” by numerous visitors. Of these, three were favorites with the fair Mrs. Skelton, of whom Mr. ‘Thomas Jefferson was one. The tra. dition runs that the pretentions of the rivals were decided, either by the musical accomplishments of the young counselor, or by the fears of his opponents. The tale is differently related. One version is, that the two unfortunate gentleman encountered each other on Mrs. Skelton’s doorstep, but hearing Mr. Jefferson’s violin and voice accompanying the lady in a pathetic song, gave up the contest thenceforth and retired without entering, conceiving that the affair was beyond their control, The other story is, that all three met at the door, and agreed that they would take their turns. Mr. Jefferson entered first, and the toues of the lady in singing with her» companion deprived the listeners of all hope:— Hlowever this may be, it is certain that the beautiful widow consented to become Mrs, Jefferson ; and on the first day of January, 1772, there was a great festival at The Forest.”— Friends and kindred assembled from far and near—there was frolicking and dancing after the abundant old fashion—and we find from the bridegroom’s note book that the servants and fiddlers rce2ived fees from his especial pocket. It snowed without, but within all was mirth and enjoyment, in the light and warmth of the great log fires, roaring in honor of the occasion. Soon after the performance of the ceremony, bridegroom and his bride set out in their carriage for “Monticello,” where Mr. Jefferson had commenced buildirg in 1769, just before the destruction by fire of his patrimonial house of “Shadwell.”— ‘The journey was not to end without adventures. As they advanced towards the mouutains, the snow increased in depth, and finally they were compelled to leave the carriage and proceed upon their way on horseback. Stopping to rest at “Blenheim,” the seat ot Cul. Carter, where they found, however, no one but an overseer, they left it at sunset, resolutely bent upon reaching Monticello before night. It was eight miles distant, and the roxd which was rather a mountain bridle path than an honest highway, was eneumbered with snow three feet deep. We may fancy the sensations of the newly-wedded bride at the chill appearance of the desolate landscape, as she passed along through the snow, but she was a woman of courage and good sense, and did not care for inconvenience. It was late when they arrived, and a cheerless reception awaited them—or rather, there was no reception at all. The fires were all cut, the servants had gone to bed, and the place was as dark and silent as the grave. Conducting his wife to the little pavilion, which was the only part of the house habitable at the tine, Mr. Jefferson proceeded to do the honors. On a shelf behind some books, part of a bottle of wine was discovered ; and this formed the supper of the bridegroom and the bride. Far from being annoyed or discomfited by their reception, however, it only served for a topic of jest and laughter. The young lady was as merry and light~ hearted asa bird, and sent-her clear voice ringing through the dreary litthe pavilion as guily as she had ever done in the cheerful drawing-room of “The Forest.” Thus the long hours of the winter night fled away like minutes, winged with laughter, mernment and song. The vigil was a mirthful incident rather than a trial oftheir equanimity. They were young —and they had just been married. When hands are clasped, and hearts beat close together, there is very little gloom in darkness, and winter nights are not cold. This moral sentiment will not, I hope, be criticised astoo romantic for the “dignity of history.” Tt doubtless explains how a yousg lady and gentleman, both used io every ort and luxury, found the gloomy little pavilion in the midst of three feet of snow, neither dark nor cold, on that January . night lopg ago! NEVADA, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY . MORNING; OCTOBBER 28, 1859. git This distinguished gentieman left our State last. week on the Sonora. On Tuesday evening he delivered a lecture:in Musical Hall, San Francisco, at, the conclusion of which be read the following fine poem, which-he had hastily CALIFORNIA. 0 fair young land, the yout fairest far cesta sande Meiacaenr 7 Whese jan p esilver Tilumes thy golden coast, — : How art thou cong famed in all the pride . . of still! savage How brought, O panther of the spendid hide, .

British Opinions of Louis Napoleon, The following is from an article in Blackwood’s Magazine, on the peace of Villafranca : The result showed that Kossuth, with all his ability and eloquence, was but as an infant in the hands of the extraordinary man who rules France, and who now holds in his power the fortunes of Europe. Even from this little fact we can afford to lesson ; for never until the old popular ideas of Louis Napoleon.are displaced, and until the British public recognizes in him one of the most powerful and subtle intellects that the world has ever seen—a man gifted with the power of calculation that amounts to prescience joined to a hand that never flinch~ es and a tongue that never reveals—never, we say, until the British public so learns to appreciate this new Napoleon, will it be possible for our government to cope with his policy, and make head against those. new combinations which will date thei: birth from the momentous interview at Villafranca. Miss Maria MitcuELt, t he distinguished lady astronomer, has caused an observatory to be builtin Nantucket for the accommodation of h er new and beautiful telescope. She takes great delight in this instrument, and frequently passes the entire night in her observatory watching the heavenly bodies.

The Wheeling Intelligencer, of alate date describes a couple that had been brought to that place, on the road to Pittsburg, for some fowl fancier who had imported them.

Le eS FRIDAY MORNING, Oct. 28, 1859, Manufacture of Postage Stamps.’ —'Phe:stamp combines the most perfeet protections known to modern art, and is subjected, during its manufacture, to many different processes which require the best artistic skill and mechanical ingenuity. The first artists in the country are employed to prepare the original dies; and there are several distinct branches of the engraving art exercised on every separate stamp. The paper whereon it is printed requires a nice adjustment of weight, density. sizing, calendering and absorbing qualities, in order that the various operations which it undergoes may not work inharmoniously to the disadvantage of the stamp. The simple item of gum alone has caused much earnest inquiry and repeated experiments, that a suitable article might be procured; and the printing is done by men of tried ex~ perience in steel and copper plate printing. The durable and then again the fleeting natures of the inks, have each a special object, whiie the perforation is not only a great conventenze, but a most valuable additional protection. The machines used for the purpose are superior improvements over those owned by the British Government, and are so delicate in their adjustments, punches, &c., as to require continual supervision and outlay of money, while a special machinist superintends their operation and keeps them ia repair. In short, all the obstacles to the successful counterfeit of a bank note are to be found in the stamp, and in connection with others of equal and novel importance.— Constitution. A Rowdy Chief of New York Sketched.—'the Utica Herald thus describes one of the cleverest and boldest of the Democratic mauagers of the State of New York: Fernando Wood is the Mephistophiles of politicians. He is the « mildest mannered man” that ever packed a caucus or got up a row.— He ie what boarding-shool misses would cali ws ‘love of a man.” Ilis form is slender, but faultlessly proportioned, his tread elastic to airiness, and carriage graceful to the last degree. His forehead is broad, without being massive, and his features regular, yet strongly marked.— ‘The general expression of his face is that of eternai placidity. He might have sat for the portrait of Oily Gammon, in Ten Thousand a Year ; avd were it not for the pitiless eye . and.those. closely-compressed _ lips, you might mistake him for a moral or a Home Missionary Society agent.— Te face of Louis Napoleon is not more sphynx-like in its expression. Without apparent dullness of the tatter, 1t has all its inserutability. We watched it narrowly during that terrible ‘row at Syracuse, and except that it was ashade paler, you could not have known that a humaf® passion had ever stirred. He has, in an eminent degree, the elements of a successful modern politician. He is cool, intrepid, shrewd; a man who would stand head and shoulders above his Democratic rivals in the State. Cotoma Vineyarps.—The Placerville Observer, speaking of the ability of the mountain districts to produce grapes, says. “In addition to the large amount of grapes sold and consumed. there are still enough in the limited distiict of Coloma to manufacture near ten thousand gallons of wine. Of this amount, Mr, Alhoff makes from his own vineyard 1,500 gallons,for which he has been offered $3,000; he will also manufacture from 500 to 1,000 gallons from the vineyards of others, Mr. Van Guelder will make from 1,500 to.2,000 gallons. Mr. Pierce having sold about five tons of grapes, this.season, will make but about 200 gailons. Mr. Wimmer will make 2,000 gallons. Mr. Wilder has already made 1,500, and will make at Jeast 500 more. Mrs. Robertson will make 400 gallors, while others whose names we do not have, will make more or less.” The following is supposed to be the ‘number of newspapers in the world: In Ausirala, 10, Africa 14, Spain 24, Portugal 26, Asia 30, Russia and Poland 50, in the German States 360, Great Britain and Irex land, 550; United States 2,000-—-total 2,164. From the foregoing it will be seen that in the Unfiited States are issuednearly twice asmany papers as in all other nations combined, Baptism in State: Prison.—In a let» ter-from the Rev.

No willow bends its weeping bough Above my slumbering father’s head, There’s naught to tell the passer-by That neath his feet repose the dead. But trav’ler, let thy weary feet Softly on those sods be pressed, For ‘neath them, rapt in silent death My own loved father now’s at rest Yes, Father! that dear sacred name Stilllives within this bosom’s core, Though long ago and far away They laid thee down forevermore. Pained memory calls the streaming eyes, That looked upon that dreary plain How when I left that sacred spot My youthful heart was rent in twain. Though I was only then a child, 4 And since that day long years have passed Yet, Father, shall this heart retain Thy sacred memory till the last. NADIO. A Picture of “The Little Giant.” A writer in the Cincinnati Commercial draws the following not very flattering picture of Senator Douglas : Douglas belongs, by temperament and constitution, to the race of bullies. His proper legitimate sphere is the bar room or the prize-~ring. He is just the kind of man to be the favorite of blacklegs and the idol of bottle-holders. His endowments of limb and muscle, his compact and busly solidity of form,and enormous fistic strength would have made him facile princeps among the Sullivans, and the Morrisseysand the Heenans. But the horoscope of his fortunes was differently cast, and having settled early in life in a backwoods country, he was fated to become a politician. In a commu: nity of little intellectual or moral culture, his rise was rapid, for his powers were just of the compass which fitted him to shme where a man of finer nature weuld have failed. He possessed moderate intellectual talents, an iron will, untiring energy, and unbounded ambition. He rose at length, through various gradations, to be a Senator of the United States, and, with greedy eyes devouring the Presidency from afar, he has shaped every scheme and strained every nerve to Winton ee The powers of Douglas as a public orator are limited to a plain and monotonous repetition of one idea, and a bovine power of bellowing it to the largest audience. He is destitute alike of variety, compass, humor, pathos and eloquence. He exhibits not a solitary gleam of genius, sot a ray of WIt, DOr a Spark of imagination.— The only element of eloquence he possesses is the vox et preterea nihil of Virgil. Natural Curiosities of California— Geysers in Plumas County.—According tothe Plumas (Quincy) Argus there is a cluster of boiling springs, situated in the northeast portion of its . county, wh'c covers an area of ten cres. It says: This urea is almost flat, and surrounded onits edge by large boulders, which seem to be fragments of lava. It would be safe to say that on th’s little spot of ground one thousand boiling, steaming springs exist, and so loud is the sound produced by the escape of the steam, that it is impossible to distinguish the voice of a man ten feet from you. In some of these springs there is a kind of sediment, about the consistency of common mush, which simmers and gurgles, and at times, entirely closes the aperture which is invariably succeeded by a deafening explosion, in the escape of the confined steam Everything smells strongly of sulphur, which may be gathered. in some instances, in large pieces, but is mostly found adhering to the rocks in the shape of a palpable powder—the effect of crystalization. There is also another mineral produced in the same manner, resembling quinine in its color and formation, but to the taste like alum, and there is uo doubt but that it ts al. umine. On one side of said flat there is a kind of chalk, white as snow, and resembling plaster after having been prepared for casting. Thete isa lit~tle plain of this, about twenty yards long, and half that in width, as level asa floor. But what is the most remarkable feature, is a stream of cold pure water ruuning through the centre of the flat. You can safely move among the springs, by submitting frequently to an envelopment in sulphurous vapor. About one mile from this flat, atan elevation of three hundred feet above it, there is a round lake, in diameter, about fifty yards, which is in a continual stare of agitation, resembling the boiling of a cauldron ; the earth around it is almost a blood red. ‘The springs are situated on the head waters of the north fork of Feather River, near Lassen’s Peak and not far from the (supposed) burning mountain. The N. Y. Tribune states that the English Government has dispatched, on a similar mission to that of Gen Scott, the Commander in Chief of the British Army, bis Royal High. ness, the Duke of Cambridge, to the same destination. Other papers contain reports to the same effect.

Neen eee Jefferson's Wedding and his WedMy father died while on his way to this country in ding Night — The following pleasing picture is from the “Early Days of Jefferson,” in the New York Century: “Belinda” (Jefferson’s first love) had been married many years. and her old admirer-was approaching thirty, when he met with a young lady of twenty-two, who produced a strong impression upon him. She was a little above the medium height, slender, but elegantly formed. A fair complexion, with delicate tint of the rose! large hazle eyes, full of life and feeling ; and luxuriant hair of a rich soft auburn, formed a combination of attractions which were eminently caleulated to move the heart of a youthful bachelor. In addition to all this, the lady wasadmirably graceful; she rode, danced and moved with elegant ease, and sang and played on the harpsichord very sweetly. Add_ still to these accomplishments the possession of excellent goed sense, very considerable cultivation, a warm, loving heait, and last, though ‘not least, notable talents for luuse-keeping, and it will not be difficult to understand how the youthful Mr. Jefferson came to visit very frequently at the lady’s residence, in the county of Charles City. It was called ‘The Forest,” and the lady was Mrs. Martha Skelton. Shewas a daughter of John Wayles, an eminent lawyer. and had married in her seventeenth year, Mr Bathurst Skelton, who dying in 1768, . ’ left his young wife a widow at nine teen. As the three years of mourning began to expire, the beautiful young lady found herself besieged at “The Forest” by numerous visitors. Of these, three were favorites with the fair Mrs. Skelton, of whom Mr. ‘Thomas Jefferson was one. The tra. dition runs that the pretentions of the rivals were decided, either by the musical accomplishments of the young counselor, or by the fears of his opponents. The tale is differently related. One version is, that the two unfortunate gentleman encountered each other on Mrs. Skelton’s doorstep, but hearing Mr. Jefferson’s violin and voice accompanying the lady in a pathetic song, gave up the contest thenceforth and retired without entering, conceiving that the affair was beyond their control, The other story is, that all three met at the door, and agreed that they would take their turns. Mr. Jefferson entered first, and the toues of the lady in singing with her» companion deprived the listeners of all hope:— Hlowever this may be, it is certain that the beautiful widow consented to become Mrs, Jefferson ; and on the first day of January, 1772, there was a great festival at The Forest.”— Friends and kindred assembled from far and near—there was frolicking and dancing after the abundant old fashion—and we find from the bridegroom’s note book that the servants and fiddlers rce2ived fees from his especial pocket. It snowed without, but within all was mirth and enjoyment, in the light and warmth of the great log fires, roaring in honor of the occasion. Soon after the performance of the ceremony, bridegroom and his bride set out in their carriage for “Monticello,” where Mr. Jefferson had commenced buildirg in 1769, just before the destruction by fire of his patrimonial house of “Shadwell.”— ‘The journey was not to end without adventures. As they advanced towards the mouutains, the snow increased in depth, and finally they were compelled to leave the carriage and proceed upon their way on horseback. Stopping to rest at “Blenheim,” the seat ot Cul. Carter, where they found, however, no one but an overseer, they left it at sunset, resolutely bent upon reaching Monticello before night. It was eight miles distant, and the roxd which was rather a mountain bridle path than an honest highway, was eneumbered with snow three feet deep. We may fancy the sensations of the newly-wedded bride at the chill appearance of the desolate landscape, as she passed along through the snow, but she was a woman of courage and good sense, and did not care for inconvenience. It was late when they arrived, and a cheerless reception awaited them—or rather, there was no reception at all. The fires were all cut, the servants had gone to bed, and the place was as dark and silent as the grave. Conducting his wife to the little pavilion, which was the only part of the house habitable at the tine, Mr. Jefferson proceeded to do the honors. On a shelf behind some books, part of a bottle of wine was discovered ; and this formed the supper of the bridegroom and the bride. Far from being annoyed or discomfited by their reception, however, it only served for a topic of jest and laughter. The young lady was as merry and light~ hearted asa bird, and sent-her clear voice ringing through the dreary litthe pavilion as guily as she had ever done in the cheerful drawing-room of “The Forest.” Thus the long hours of the winter night fled away like minutes, winged with laughter, mernment and song. The vigil was a mirthful incident rather than a trial oftheir equanimity. They were young —and they had just been married. When hands are clasped, and hearts beat close together, there is very little gloom in darkness, and winter nights are not cold. This moral sentiment will not, I hope, be criticised astoo romantic for the “dignity of history.” Tt doubtless explains how a yousg lady and gentleman, both used io every ort and luxury, found the gloomy little pavilion in the midst of three feet of snow, neither dark nor cold, on that January . night lopg ago!

British Opinions of Louis Napoleon, The following is from an article in Blackwood’s Magazine, on the peace of Villafranca : The result showed that Kossuth, with all his ability and eloquence, was but as an infant in the hands of the extraordinary man who rules France, and who now holds in his power the fortunes of Europe. Even from this little fact we can afford to lesson ; for never until the old popular ideas of Louis Napoleon.are displaced, and until the British public recognizes in him one of the most powerful and subtle intellects that the world has ever seen—a man gifted with the power of calculation that amounts to prescience joined to a hand that never flinch~ es and a tongue that never reveals—never, we say, until the British public so learns to appreciate this new Napoleon, will it be possible for our government to cope with his policy, and make head against those. new combinations which will date thei: birth from the momentous interview at Villafranca. Miss Maria MitcuELt, t he distinguished lady astronomer, has caused an observatory to be builtin Nantucket for the accommodation of h er new and beautiful telescope.
