when the South will he independent in mind, society

The Editor of the Picayune, commenting on this
article, says
Iti« understood, We believe, that these papers are
written by Charles A, Bristed, grandson of the late
John Jacob Astor, andheir of no inconsiderable part
of his wealth. He is the Bamo personage who not
long ago appealed toiEogland and America, against
tbs injuries, inflicted upon “American hospitality,” in
his person, by the refusal of the Hon. Mr. Law, a
member of Parliament, to repay some money which
Mr. Bristed had lent in New-York to the eon of Mr.
Law, a scape-grace whom the toadies of New York
had lionized aa a sprig of nobility. Mr. Bristed
knows about as much of the feelings of the North ss
he does of the intellectual and social state of the
South, and that is about what he can gather within
the walls of the brownstono palaces on the Filth
Avenue, in which parvennes gather themselves in
exclusive coteries, and encourage each other to for
get that they live in a Republic. He has taken up
bis residence in Paris, we believe, as better suited
to his taste* aa a man of exquisite refinements than
even the uppermost circles ot New York pretention.
W The Booi*tv Land Bill,—It is stated that two
thirds of the members of Congress seem to have de
termined upon amending the Bounty Land Law ot
last session, to allow the transfer of warrants before
location, There ia no /cason why the warrants
should not be transferable before location. Few ot
the persona who obtain the grants—widows and or*
phan children—will ever settle upon the lands, and
the only benelitthewarrantcan bo is to sell it at the
best advantage. They can do thia, in nine cases out
of ten, better when it has not been located, as per
sons wishing to buy desire, generally, more th n
one warrant which thoy can locate themselves, and
contiguous to each other, instead of buying a dozen
or ao in different States and in different places in the
same State, as they necessarily must do when they
buy singlo grants already located. As the object
of the grant of bounty land was to benefit the sol
dier or his heirs, and compensate tor his services in
the war, all restrictions wnich diminish the va'ne of
the gift Bhould be at once removed.—Baltimore Sun.
Thia ia capital loby logic, that comorant land spec
ulators are using to enable theintohavo euch a change
made inthelaw as will throw the bounty land imo
their hands for a mere nominal price. It is estimat
ed that if the proposed amendment waa made, such
would b« the amount of land scrip thrown into the
market, that the price would go down to ten centt
an acre. At such rates, it would soon all be bought
up by those disinterested gentlemen who "generally
desire to buy more than one warrant.’’ The price
of 40 or 89 acres would be but a poor “reward to the
soldier or bis heira, for his services in the war.” It
would hare been belter, we think, never to have
voted the land, if it i* to pass in the hands of the mo
nopolists.
PIP Acurious phenomenon took place recently
in the department of the Marne, France. A globe ef
fireappeared in the skyabout 9 o’clock P. M., and roll
ing with terrible rapidity, fell at a Bhort distance
irom a company of four agriculturists, who were re
turning to their farm. The peasants went to the spot,
and fodhd there a glittering stone, which they picked
up, andcarried home. To their great wonder and
astonishment, Aha stone was composed of a large
quantity of gold, slid ifi* said that its value amounts,
to 2,OCX) frtrncs. The statement bat caused a grra
cilMttotion among ft#
Longfellow’s volumes of the same size, is thus np.
propriately dedicated: “To Mv Beloved Mother,
this little volume ia affectionately inscribed."

This is an interesting narrative, in which are given

countof the great massacre on tho author’s native is

A Paragraph for the Ladies—We recomn'end
thefollowing paragraph to the attention of our lady
readers. It is from no less authority than the Grave

the sanction of our judgment
How to wear a Shawl—If a lady sports a shawl at
ait and only very falling shoulders should venture to
do so, we should recommend it to be always either
falling oil'or putting on,which produces pietty action.
Or she should wear it upon one shoulder and down
tlie other, or in some wav drawn irregularly, so as to
break the uniformity. One ot the faults of the pre
sent costume, as every real artist knows, is that it of
fers a few diagonal lines. Nothing is more pictu
resque than a line across the bust, like the broad rib
bon ot the border ot 'he garter as worn by Queen
Victoria, nr the loose girdle, sloping across the hips
in the costume of tlie early Plantagenets. On this very
account, the long scarf shawl is ss picturesque h
thing ns a lady can wear. With the broad pattern
sweeping over one shoulder, and n narrow one ur
none at all on the other, it supplies the eye with that
irregularity which drapery requires; while the slant
ing form and colors of the border, lying carelessly
round the figure gives that eastern idea which every
shawl more or less implies. What Oriental would
ever wear one straight up aud down, and uniform
on both sides, as our ladies often do ?
