Cuarvtes Fenno Horrman, tue Insayé Poet.—This unfortunate gentleman is still an inmate of the insane asylum, at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It is said he receives humerous visits from sympathising friends, and all who call upon him are welcomed with a hearty greeting, and upon taking their leave, are invariably invited by him to “call He generally labors under the idea that his place of confinement is a garrison, of which be is the commander, and is only prevented from enjoying the outside by advice of his physicians.

Mr. Hoffman has now been a lunatic some fifteen years. It is not probable that he will ever be restored to reason. A variety of causes have been ascribed to account for Mr. Hoffman’s insanity.— It has been said that he was at one time The alleHe was certainly fond of social life, but not more so than most of us. in his life very intemperate. gation is believed tobe groundless. It has also been said that love drove him to madness. This is as unfoundedas the other allegation. It has likewise been stated that the severity of criticism had a decided effect in driving him to the condition of what Sir John Fallstaff called a “lunatic bedlamite.” It is not believed that Mr. Hoffman’slunacy was ever well accounted for, but it 7s believed, that a solution of the matter can now be given. When Charles Fenno Hoffman was a young man of some twelve, or fifteen, or eighteen summers, he was one of the most fascinating, rollicking, ‘“devil-meeare” boys, in the city. He was stalwart and handsome—unusually so, fora lad of hisage and weight. inerchant’s apprentice, and resided either iu Boooklyn or New Jersey. He crossed one of the rivers every morning He was a or evening with a goodly number of othev lads; and one day, whilst the steamer was coming over, he wagered with an associate, that he would sit longer on the deck of ihe boat, with his legs hanging down, than any otherlad could or would. The wager was accepted; and poor Hoffman took his position, and, unfortunately, held it too late—till the steamer dashed against the landing, and crushed his leg to atoms. Amputation became necessary, and was performed. The privation of the limb did not, evidently, affect his mind, nor did he seem to care for it, till long after he became a well grown man, somewhat advanced In the had acquired something of literary fame towards thirty. meantime, he and distinction, and began to move in more clevated and pre-eminent circles of society. He was admired for his poesy, and especially for his tales of border life and warfare. It so happened that, some twenty years ago, whilst at a convivial party, from excess of indulgence, he became an angry dispute with a young man of this city, the scion of a Hard words passed ; and crimination was ininvolved in wealthy and aristoeratic family. dulged only to give place to recrimination. In the midst of the affray, the young man in question slapped Hoffman in the face with his glove, and pronounced him acoward. <A challenge to mortal combat, conveyed by an eminent literary gentleman of this city, was the consequence. It was scornfully and indignantly rejected, and the bearer of it had And the only reply tothe bearer of the challenge was, “Do you think, varlet, I’d fight a wooden-legged poet?” From that per riod, Hoffman’s mind began to wander, though he betrayed no actual signs of insanity till ten years afterwards, when, holding a clerkship in the Department of State, at Washington, he was declared insane, and sent to the lunatic asylum. his nose pulled for his pains. Tug Morner.—Despise not thy mother when sheisold. Age may wear and waste a mother’s beauty, strength, limbs, senses, and estates; but her relation as a mother is as the sun when it goes forth in his might, for it is always in the meridian, and knowing no evening. The person may be grey-headed, but her motherly relation is ever in its flourish. It may be autumn, yes, winter, with a woman, but with the mother, as mother, it is always spring. Alas, how little do we appreciate a mother’s tenderness while living! How heedless are we in youth of all her anxieties and kindness ! But, when she is dead and gone—when the caresand coldness of the world come withering to the heart—when we experience how bard it is to find true sympathy—how few love us for ourselves— how few will befriend us in misfortune— then it is that we thinkof the mother we have lost—Rwural New Yorker. State Journal and Mountain Democrat. —These two journals, for a long time at loggerheads, have at last kissed and made up. It is all honey now. Biessincs or Poverry.—<Blessed are they who expect nothing, for they shall not be disappointed.”—but more blessed are they who have nothing, when times areso ticklish as they are now, for they shall not lose anything.— Aman who to-day has a iarge income from his rents and interest nioney sees that his rents are fast falling and his debtors becoming Not so with the poor man. He can rejoice ai the fall of rents, andif debtors fail to pay, it does not affect him, for no one owes him. Ifa bank fails, he does not anxiously look over the money on hand to see how many of the dishonored bills he may have. He knows he hasn’t any, insolvent. and so he goes his way thoughtless, careless, and happy. Whata blessing it is, indeed, to be poor! But too much of the good thing is good for nothing and we confess we would endure a little change or variety most complaeently. We would willingly suffer a little more wealth with all An aneedote was going the rounds of the papers a year or two ago that illustiates our argumentin favor of poverty most admirably. inconveniences. A man who was away from home heard that a certain bank had failed. ‘There,’ said he, “it would be just my luck to have a lot of those bills on hand.” So he hurried home ata break-neck speed, and overhauling his pecket-book, found he had not any bills of that bank—nor of any other, and he felt better. Was not he fortunate? Attempted Assault.—Dobson, the Expressman between Downieville and Camptonville, says the Sierra Democrat, had a pistol snapped at him one day last week, by a highwayman. The cap failing to explode, allowed him time to get out of reach before another attempt could be made. It will be recollected that Dobson is the Expressman who so successfully defended the treasure in his charge last summer, when an attack was made on the Camptonville stage. and the driver shot through the arm.— On that occasion he shot one of the attacking party, and then coolly threatened to shoot the driver if he did not hurry up his horses—-not knowing that the latter’s whip hand was disabied by a shot from the road. Dobson is a brave fellow, and will be the death of some of these highwaymen, if they don’t let him alone. Corrvupr Enatisu.—The following Talenicd. Noword is more objectionable than thi® new and most unnecessary adjective, so freely words abominable : used by writers in newspapers, when Tabled.— A person referring to a conversation, at I g speaking of persons of note. a dinner-party, says “Mr. so-and-so ¢abled a strange remark,” &c., &c. We shall not be surprised to hear of a new play being ¢heatred after this. Artiste. No one is now a tragedian, a singer, or performer, in public: they are one and all “The Monthlies.’ The newspapers have lately introduced anartistes. other word, in placing at the head of their reviews of Monthly publications. “The Monthlie.s” (which a friend with whom we argued Anotherimportation, calls enriching the language) is the adjective antiquarian, for the noan antiquary, and which was defended by our opponent, because it was found in Walker’s Dictionary. It is to be hoped, that the mention of these and other errors in the pages of the Athaneum, so widely circulated, may bethe meansof correcting this abuse of our native tongue by those who, from their education and attainments, ought to know better. DrowninG Sensations.—In your twelfth volume there are several communications on the singular sensations which some persons appear to have experienced in drowning. I will not question the veracity of those who have undergone the fearful oréeal, but I take the liberty to think that they must have been persons of very queer psycological idiosyneracies. I havemyself beentwice drowned to insensibility ; once in the river Avon, in the vicinity of Rugby, and once in the Oxford canal instance, till the extinction of consciousness, I was fully aware of the awful position in which I was placed, quite collected, free from acute paia, and hopeless of being saved fromimpending death. But I had no particular remembrance of any thing, either good or bad, which had occurred during my past life. And as I consider myself a fair specimen ot humanity, neither much better nor much worse than my neighbors, I am disposed to conclude, from what I have heard and seen, as well as suffered, that the experience of nine out of every ten persons who have been drowned and recovered, accords with my own.~—Notes and Queries. In each EarTHQuake.—A severe shock of an earthquake was felt at San Francisco, at seventeen minutes past 6o’clock P. M. on the 19th inst. There were three very rapid oscillations from east to west. Clocks were stopped in different parts of the city. Epmuxp Burke’s 1peA of a P: re Fect Wirr.—She is handsome, but it is a beauty not arising from the features, from complexion, or from shape; she has all three in high degree, but it is not by! these that she touches the heart—it is all the sweetness of temper, benevclence, innocence and sensibility, whici a face can express,that forms her beauty. She hasa face that just arouses your attention at first sight; it grows, upon you every moment, and you wonder it did not more than raise your attention at first. Her eyes have a mild) light, but they awe when she pleases, they coimmand, likea good man out of office, not by authority, but by virtue! Her stature is not tall, she is not made’ to bethe admiration of every one, but the happiness of one. She has all the firmness that does not exclude delicacy—all the softness that does not imply weakness. Hler voice is soft, low music, not firmed to rule iv publie assemblies. but to charm those who ean distiaguish. a company from a crowd, it has its ad-. vantage; you musi come close to her to hearit. 'Todescribe her body, describes her mind—one is the transcript of the other, Her understanding is not shown in the variety of matter it exerts itself upon, but the goodness of the choice she makes. Her politeness flows rather froma natural disposition to oblige, than rules on that subject, and therefore, never fails to strike those who understand good breeding, and those who do not. Tue Eeyprians.—The Gypsie question has long beena puzzle to Europeans, and volumes without number have been written uponit. The controversy, however, has beena very profitless one, for no jury competent to decide has been appealed to. 1t does seem strange that the Gypsies themselves, who surely must know better than any other people who they are, and whence they have come, should not have been asked to give their opinion. Had this been done, the Egyptian origin of the race would hardly have been debated, forthat to which the Gypsies ‘ling more than all things else—that which they assert most earnestly of all, the sons of Egypt. secret which they speak of in their own foreign tongue, so that the Gentiles of This, too, is what they teach their children. And it would be a marvelous thing if a nathe nations may not hear it. tion so widely seattered as theirs should be wholly mistaken. They have had no motive for saying they are Egyptians—no motive whatever, unless it weretrue. If it be false, it isa falsehood the telling of which has profited them nothing. But more than this, it may be asserted, that if it had not been for the pride they take in keeping the blood and race of Egypt pure, they would long ago have amalgamated with the rest of the human family, and have ceased to appear asa distinct people on the face of the earth. Make of it what one they are at this hour scattered everywhere, from here to Hindostan, from sunny Spain to frozen Siberia, nursing will, the pride of race, and training their children to do the same. How they would curl the lip in scorn, how they would sneer the simpleton down who would venture to enter their tents in order to teach them that they are but a wild Indian tribe, that they are but a vagrant crew, that they are anything but what they profess to be, even the representatives of the great nation of antiquity, whose land was watered by the Nile, and governed by the Pharoahs. Tue Beauty or a Biusu.—Goethe was in company with a mother and her daughter, when the latter, being reproved for some fault, blushed and burst into tears. He said: “How beautiful your reprozeh has made your daughter. The crimson hue and those silvery tears become her better than any ornament of gold and pearls. These may be hung on the neck of a wanton, but these are never seen disconnected with moral purity. A full blown rose, besprinkled with the purest dew is not so beautiful as this child blushing beneath her paI _ sorrow. A blushis the sign which nature hangs out to show where chastity and honor dwell.” Roger Sherman’s retort upon Randolph is one of the few witticisms that will not die. Roger Sherman was representative in Congress from Connecticut; his busiuess had been that of making shoes. John Randolph, who had Indian blood in him, rose, and with his usual squeaking sounds said, “I would like to know what the gentleman did with his leather apron before he set out for Washington ?” : Mr. Sherman replied, imitating the same squeak, “I cut it up, sir, te make moecasins for the descendents of Poca. hontas.” is the fact that they are, in very truth, . This is the great/. Flem. rent’s displeasure, and shedding tears of Lavy Evectionenrine.—Fox had a most able canvasser in the person of the beautiful Dutchess of De¥onshire. Her grace freely bestowed kisses for promises of votes, and had no less than three of her own carriages constantly en vaged under her immediate directions in bringing electors tothe polling-booth The lampoons upon her character seemed only further to excite her ener gies, and she speedily became so great an adept in ’lectioneering tactics as to assume their principal direction on be half of Fox. Her grace attended the neetings sometimes in male attire—spoke, cajo! ed, chaffed, drank, smoked, treatec p omised, begged, ordered, bullied, threa tened, sang, danced, prayed, and ¢ried to further the cause of “her man.” As an instance of her enthusiasmit was told that, whilst she was canvassing a butch cr, by some aceident her shoe became so much torn that she could not keep it on. In this embarrassment she kieked the shoe away, and said: “See! I go barefoot to serve mx friends She won the vote, which had been promised to Wray. Upon her asking @ candle-maker for his vote— “I will give youra plumper,” said the man of grease, “and procure you five more on a certain condition.” “Whrat is that 2?” “That your grace will give me akiss.” “Why, then,” said the duchess, “take one.” These familiarities were in turn bro’t into use by other ladies of high rank both for and against Fox. The committee over which the Duchess of Devonshire presided had among its members the most celebrated beanties of the day. The Duchesses of Rutland Portland, the Countesses of Carlisle and Derby, Ladies Beauchamp and Duncannon, and, in fact, most of the ladies of rank in London, were engaged in the contest, and, in many instances, much to the dissatisfaction of their husbands. The hustings were constantly beset with carriages, either employed in bringing up voters or encouraging adherents to their presence. The obstinate and opposite canvassing fairly bewildered the Westminister tradesmen, and many, to ease their lives, left town for the country. One lady had a troop of milliners in a carriage occupied in making up cockades for Lord Hood, and distributing them to the spectators. Her Grace of Rutland superintended the distribution of the rum-grog to Lerd Hood’s sailors and soldiers, that Fox’s partizans could the more easily defeat them; and she encouraged the fierce battles between the marrow-bones and cleavers of the seamen. The Devonshire ladieshad a baleony erected in Henrietta strect, and there they greeted friends and foes as they passed to the hustings. The secret committee was held here. An example thus set by the higher classes was not long before it reached the Westminster dames of every grade; and Sir Cecil Wray very soon found that he had more to fear from the women than from all Fox’s and Hood's roughs together, 7 AMERICANS ABRoAD.—Rey. Dr. T.L. Cuyler writes to the Intelligencer, from Geneva: On Monday Dr. Tyng left for London, in vigorous health. He has been at Al exandria, Jerusalem, Athens — preached on Mount Ziono—and enjoyed a visit to onr prosperous mission at Constantinople. He tells us that his traveling time from New York to Jerusalem was 25 days! ‘Ten from New York to Liverpool—two to Paris—one to Marseilles—ten to Jaffa, and one to JerusaThe whole distance was achieved by steam, from Neversink Hills to the “house of Simon, the tanner,” in Jaffa, (the olden Joppa.”’) Dr. Alexander ealled on us this morning, on his way to see Monsieur Turretin—a distinguished lawyer of Geneva, and lineal descendent of Francis 'Turretin, the famous Calvanistic theologian. ‘'Turretin lived on this lake and wrote volumes as clear as its waters. Geneva is rich in historical reliques. JT must close this letter abruptly, in order to go with some friends to see the manuscripts of Calvin and Luther at the city library. 2 ana A curious phenomenon jg remarked at the dam at Holyoke, Mass.; The surface is inaconstant state of vibration, and all the “oors and windows within miles of the spot, keep time with the vibrations at the falls. ‘These are at the rate of two for every second. This P'uenomenon, when seen from below some sunshiny morning, is exceedingly beautiful. It was illustrated thus; If one should stand looking down a long street in a city, where every pane of glass was illumivated by a gas light, and should sce those lights extinguished and re-lighted twice every second, he might forma proper idea of the reflection of the sun’s rays at these falls. ‘The cause of these vibrations was attributed to the current of the air passing between the fall and the dam—thus making an “ organ-pipe” one thousand feet in length. “A-lass! a-lass!” as the old bachelor said when he wanted ta marry. He made the same exclamation after marae but spelt it diffe: The ancient Greeks buried their dead in jars. Hence the originof the expresion —“He’s gone to pot.”

Mr. Hoffman has now been a lunatic some fifteen years. It is not probable that he will ever be restored to reason. A variety of causes have been ascribed to account for Mr. Hoffman’s insanity.— It has been said that he was at one time The alleHe was certainly fond of social life, but not more so than most of us. in his life very intemperate. gation is believed tobe groundless. It has also been said that love drove him to madness. This is as unfoundedas the other allegation. It has likewise been stated that the severity of criticism had a decided effect in driving him to the condition of what Sir John Fallstaff called a “lunatic bedlamite.” It is not believed that Mr. Hoffman’slunacy was ever well accounted for, but it 7s believed, that a solution of the matter can now be given. When Charles Fenno Hoffman was a young man of some twelve, or fifteen, or eighteen summers, he was one of the most fascinating, rollicking, ‘“devil-meeare” boys, in the city. He was stalwart and handsome—unusually so, fora lad of hisage and weight. inerchant’s apprentice, and resided either iu Boooklyn or New Jersey. He crossed one of the rivers every morning He was a or evening with a goodly number of othev lads; and one day, whilst the steamer was coming over, he wagered with an associate, that he would sit longer on the deck of ihe boat, with his legs hanging down, than any otherlad could or would. The wager was accepted; and poor Hoffman took his position, and, unfortunately, held it too late—till the steamer dashed against the landing, and crushed his leg to atoms. Amputation became necessary, and was performed. The privation of the limb did not, evidently, affect his mind, nor did he seem to care for it, till long after he became a well grown man, somewhat advanced In the had acquired something of literary fame towards thirty. meantime, he and distinction, and began to move in more clevated and pre-eminent circles of society. He was admired for his poesy, and especially for his tales of border life and warfare. It so happened that, some twenty years ago, whilst at a convivial party, from excess of indulgence, he became an angry dispute with a young man of this city, the scion of a Hard words passed ; and crimination was ininvolved in wealthy and aristoeratic family. dulged only to give place to recrimination. In the midst of the affray, the young man in question slapped Hoffman in the face with his glove, and pronounced him acoward. <A challenge to mortal combat, conveyed by an eminent literary gentleman of this city, was the consequence. It was scornfully and indignantly rejected, and the bearer of it had And the only reply tothe bearer of the challenge was, “Do you think, varlet, I’d fight a wooden-legged poet?” From that per riod, Hoffman’s mind began to wander, though he betrayed no actual signs of insanity till ten years afterwards, when, holding a clerkship in the Department of State, at Washington, he was declared insane, and sent to the lunatic asylum. his nose pulled for his pains. Tug Morner.—Despise not thy mother when sheisold. Age may wear and waste a mother’s beauty, strength, limbs, senses, and estates; but her relation as a mother is as the sun when it goes forth in his might, for it is always in the meridian, and knowing no evening. The person may be grey-headed, but her motherly relation is ever in its flourish. It may be autumn, yes, winter, with a woman, but with the mother, as mother, it is always spring. Alas, how little do we appreciate a mother’s tenderness while living! How heedless are we in youth of all her anxieties and kindness ! But, when she is dead and gone—when the caresand coldness of the world come withering to the heart—when we experience how bard it is to find true sympathy—how few love us for ourselves— how few will befriend us in misfortune— then it is that we thinkof the mother we have lost—Rwural New Yorker.

Biessincs or Poverry.—<Blessed are they who expect nothing, for they shall not be disappointed.”—but more blessed are they who have nothing, when times areso ticklish as they are now, for they shall not lose anything.— Aman who to-day has a iarge income from his rents and interest nioney sees that his rents are fast falling and his debtors becoming Not so with the poor man. He can rejoice ai the fall of rents, andif debtors fail to pay, it does not affect him, for no one owes him. Ifa bank fails, he does not anxiously look over the money on hand to see how many of the dishonored bills he may have. He knows he hasn’t any, insolvent. and so he goes his way thoughtless, careless, and happy. Whata blessing it is, indeed, to be poor! But too much of the good thing is good for nothing and we confess we would endure a little change or variety most complaeently. We would willingly suffer a little more wealth with all An aneedote was going the rounds of the papers a year or two ago that illustiates our argumentin favor of poverty most admirably. inconveniences. A man who was away from home heard that a certain bank had failed. ‘There,’ said he, “it would be just my luck to have a lot of those bills on hand.” So he hurried home ata break-neck speed, and overhauling his pecket-book, found he had not any bills of that bank—nor of any other, and he felt better. Was not he fortunate? Attempted Assault.—Dobson, the Expressman between Downieville and Camptonville, says the Sierra Democrat, had a pistol snapped at him one day last week, by a highwayman. The cap failing to explode, allowed him time to get out of reach before another attempt could be made. It will be recollected that Dobson is the Expressman who so successfully defended the treasure in his charge last summer, when an attack was made on the Camptonville stage. and the driver shot through the arm.— On that occasion he shot one of the attacking party, and then coolly threatened to shoot the driver if he did not hurry up his horses—-not knowing that the latter’s whip hand was disabied by a shot from the road. Dobson is a brave fellow, and will be the death of some of these highwaymen, if they don’t let him alone. Corrvupr Enatisu.—The following Talenicd. Noword is more objectionable than thi® new and most unnecessary adjective, so freely words abominable : used by writers in newspapers, when Tabled.— A person referring to a conversation, at I g speaking of persons of note. a dinner-party, says “Mr. so-and-so ¢abled a strange remark,” &c., &c. We shall not be surprised to hear of a new play being ¢heatred after this. Artiste. No one is now a tragedian, a singer, or performer, in public: they are one and all “The Monthlies.’ The newspapers have lately introduced anartistes. other word, in placing at the head of their reviews of Monthly publications. “The Monthlie.s” (which a friend with whom we argued Anotherimportation, calls enriching the language) is the adjective antiquarian, for the noan antiquary, and which was defended by our opponent, because it was found in Walker’s Dictionary. It is to be hoped, that the mention of these and other errors in the pages of the Athaneum, so widely circulated, may bethe meansof correcting this abuse of our native tongue by those who, from their education and attainments, ought to know better. DrowninG Sensations.—In your twelfth volume there are several communications on the singular sensations which some persons appear to have experienced in drowning. I will not question the veracity of those who have undergone the fearful oréeal, but I take the liberty to think that they must have been persons of very queer psycological idiosyneracies. I havemyself beentwice drowned to insensibility ; once in the river Avon, in the vicinity of Rugby, and once in the Oxford canal instance, till the extinction of consciousness, I was fully aware of the awful position in which I was placed, quite collected, free from acute paia, and hopeless of being saved fromimpending death. But I had no particular remembrance of any thing, either good or bad, which had occurred during my past life. And as I consider myself a fair specimen ot humanity, neither much better nor much worse than my neighbors, I am disposed to conclude, from what I have heard and seen, as well as suffered, that the experience of nine out of every ten persons who have been drowned and recovered, accords with my own.~—Notes and Queries. In each EarTHQuake.—A severe shock of an earthquake was felt at San Francisco, at seventeen minutes past 6o’clock P. M. on the 19th inst. There were three very rapid oscillations from east to west. Clocks were stopped in different parts of the city. Epmuxp Burke’s 1peA of a P: re Fect Wirr.—She is handsome, but it is a beauty not arising from the features, from complexion, or from shape; she has all three in high degree, but it is not by! these that she touches the heart—it is all the sweetness of temper, benevclence, innocence and sensibility, whici a face can express,that forms her beauty. She hasa face that just arouses your attention at first sight; it grows, upon you every moment, and you wonder it did not more than raise your attention at first. Her eyes have a mild) light, but they awe when she pleases, they coimmand, likea good man out of office, not by authority, but by virtue! Her stature is not tall, she is not made’ to bethe admiration of every one, but the happiness of one. She has all the firmness that does not exclude delicacy—all the softness that does not imply weakness. Hler voice is soft, low music, not firmed to rule iv publie assemblies. but to charm those who ean distiaguish. a company from a crowd, it has its ad-. vantage; you musi come close to her to hearit. 'Todescribe her body, describes her mind—one is the transcript of the other, Her understanding is not shown in the variety of matter it exerts itself upon, but the goodness of the choice she makes. Her politeness flows rather froma natural disposition to oblige, than rules on that subject, and therefore, never fails to strike those who understand good breeding, and those who do not. Tue Eeyprians.—The Gypsie question has long beena puzzle to Europeans, and volumes without number have been written uponit. The controversy, however, has beena very profitless one, for no jury competent to decide has been appealed to. 1t does seem strange that the Gypsies themselves, who surely must know better than any other people who they are, and whence they have come, should not have been asked to give their opinion. Had this been done, the Egyptian origin of the race would hardly have been debated, forthat to which the Gypsies ‘ling more than all things else—that which they assert most earnestly of all, the sons of Egypt. secret which they speak of in their own foreign tongue, so that the Gentiles of This, too, is what they teach their children. And it would be a marvelous thing if a nathe nations may not hear it. tion so widely seattered as theirs should be wholly mistaken. They have had no motive for saying they are Egyptians—no motive whatever, unless it weretrue. If it be false, it isa falsehood the telling of which has profited them nothing. But more than this, it may be asserted, that if it had not been for the pride they take in keeping the blood and race of Egypt pure, they would long ago have amalgamated with the rest of the human family, and have ceased to appear asa distinct people on the face of the earth. Make of it what one they are at this hour scattered everywhere, from here to Hindostan, from sunny Spain to frozen Siberia, nursing will, the pride of race, and training their children to do the same. How they would curl the lip in scorn, how they would sneer the simpleton down who would venture to enter their tents in order to teach them that they are but a wild Indian tribe, that they are but a vagrant crew, that they are anything but what they profess to be, even the representatives of the great nation of antiquity, whose land was watered by the Nile, and governed by the Pharoahs. Tue Beauty or a Biusu.—Goethe was in company with a mother and her daughter, when the latter, being reproved for some fault, blushed and burst into tears. He said: “How beautiful your reprozeh has made your daughter. The crimson hue and those silvery tears become her better than any ornament of gold and pearls. These may be hung on the neck of a wanton, but these are never seen disconnected with moral purity. A full blown rose, besprinkled with the purest dew is not so beautiful as this child blushing beneath her paI _ sorrow. A blushis the sign which nature hangs out to show where chastity and honor dwell.” Roger Sherman’s retort upon Randolph is one of the few witticisms that will not die. Roger Sherman was representative in Congress from Connecticut; his busiuess had been that of making shoes. John Randolph, who had Indian blood in him, rose, and with his usual squeaking sounds said, “I would like to know what the gentleman did with his leather apron before he set out for Washington ?” : Mr. Sherman replied, imitating the same squeak, “I cut it up, sir, te make moecasins for the descendents of Poca. hontas.” is the fact that they are, in very truth, . This is the great/. Flem. rent’s displeasure, and shedding tears of Lavy Evectionenrine.—Fox had a most able canvasser in the person of the beautiful Dutchess of De¥onshire. Her grace freely bestowed kisses for promises of votes, and had no less than three of her own carriages constantly en vaged under her immediate directions in bringing electors tothe polling-booth The lampoons upon her character seemed only further to excite her ener gies, and she speedily became so great an adept in ’lectioneering tactics as to assume their principal direction on be half of Fox. Her grace attended the neetings sometimes in male attire—spoke, cajo! ed, chaffed, drank, smoked, treatec p omised, begged, ordered, bullied, threa tened, sang, danced, prayed, and ¢ried to further the cause of “her man.” As an instance of her enthusiasmit was told that, whilst she was canvassing a butch cr, by some aceident her shoe became so much torn that she could not keep it on. In this embarrassment she kieked the shoe away, and said: “See! I go barefoot to serve mx friends She won the vote, which had been promised to Wray. Upon her asking @ candle-maker for his vote— “I will give youra plumper,” said the man of grease, “and procure you five more on a certain condition.” “Whrat is that 2?” “That your grace will give me akiss.” “Why, then,” said the duchess, “take one.” These familiarities were in turn bro’t into use by other ladies of high rank both for and against Fox. The committee over which the Duchess of Devonshire presided had among its members the most celebrated beanties of the day. The Duchesses of Rutland Portland, the Countesses of Carlisle and Derby, Ladies Beauchamp and Duncannon, and, in fact, most of the ladies of rank in London, were engaged in the contest, and, in many instances, much to the dissatisfaction of their husbands. The hustings were constantly beset with carriages, either employed in bringing up voters or encouraging adherents to their presence. The obstinate and opposite canvassing fairly bewildered the Westminister tradesmen, and many, to ease their lives, left town for the country. One lady had a troop of milliners in a carriage occupied in making up cockades for Lord Hood, and distributing them to the spectators. Her Grace of Rutland superintended the distribution of the rum-grog to Lerd Hood’s sailors and soldiers, that Fox’s partizans could the more easily defeat them; and she encouraged the fierce battles between the marrow-bones and cleavers of the seamen. The Devonshire ladieshad a baleony erected in Henrietta strect, and there they greeted friends and foes as they passed to the hustings. The secret committee was held here. An example thus set by the higher classes was not long before it reached the Westminster dames of every grade; and Sir Cecil Wray very soon found that he had more to fear from the women than from all Fox’s and Hood's roughs together, 7 AMERICANS ABRoAD.—Rey. Dr. T.L. Cuyler writes to the Intelligencer, from Geneva: On Monday Dr. Tyng left for London, in vigorous health. He has been at Al exandria, Jerusalem, Athens — preached on Mount Ziono—and enjoyed a visit to onr prosperous mission at Constantinople. He tells us that his traveling time from New York to Jerusalem was 25 days! ‘Ten from New York to Liverpool—two to Paris—one to Marseilles—ten to Jaffa, and one to JerusaThe whole distance was achieved by steam, from Neversink Hills to the “house of Simon, the tanner,” in Jaffa, (the olden Joppa.”’) Dr. Alexander ealled on us this morning, on his way to see Monsieur Turretin—a distinguished lawyer of Geneva, and lineal descendent of Francis 'Turretin, the famous Calvanistic theologian. ‘'Turretin lived on this lake and wrote volumes as clear as its waters. Geneva is rich in historical reliques. JT must close this letter abruptly, in order to go with some friends to see the manuscripts of Calvin and Luther at the city library. 2 ana A curious phenomenon jg remarked at the dam at Holyoke, Mass.; The surface is inaconstant state of vibration, and all the “oors and windows within miles of the spot, keep time with the vibrations at the falls. ‘These are at the rate of two for every second. This P'uenomenon, when seen from below some sunshiny morning, is exceedingly beautiful. It was illustrated thus; If one should stand looking down a long street in a city, where every pane of glass was illumivated by a gas light, and should sce those lights extinguished and re-lighted twice every second, he might forma proper idea of the reflection of the sun’s rays at these falls. ‘The cause of these vibrations was attributed to the current of the air passing between the fall and the dam—thus making an “ organ-pipe” one thousand feet in length. “A-lass! a-lass!” as the old bachelor said when he wanted ta marry. He made the same exclamation after marae but spelt it diffe: The ancient Greeks buried their dead in jars. Hence the originof the expresion —“He’s gone to pot.”
