“THE DAUGHTER.” i
The following, from the German of T hland.
tg one of thoec atrangc and startling conceit?. '
which no other language attempt?:
There came three students over the Rhine—
Dame YVertcr’s house thoy entered in;
■‘Dame Werter, hast thou good beer and wine ?
And where's that lovely daughter of thine? - ’
“My beer and wine is fresh and clear—
My daughter is lying cold on her bier.”
They stepped within the chamber of rest,
YVhcrc shrined lay the maiden, in black robes
dressed.
The first he drew from her face the veil:
“Ah! wert thon alive thou maiden so pale."’
He said, as he gazed with saddened brow,
“How dearly would I love thee now 1“
The second, ho covered the face anew,
And, weeping, he turned aside from the view;
“Ah me ! that thou liest on the cold bier.
The one I have loved for so many a year !”
The third once more unfitted the veil,
He kissed the lips so deadly pale;
“Thee loved 1 ever , still love love I thee,
And thee will I love through eternity.”
And that kiss—that kiss—with Promethean
iiame
Thrilled with new fife the quivering frame;
And the maid uprose and stood by hi? side.
That student’s own loved and loving bride !

I asked for a kiss, but yon deemed it amiss
To be touched by a beard so thorny;
And curtseying low, said, “I’d have you, sir,
know,
A scratch would in no wise adorn me.”
I grant it—'t is true; but. appealing to you,
I would fain ask you whether
(Since the roses are thine, and the sharp thorns
mine)
Both ought not to flourish together?

i’ko Cincinnati Commercial makes this
telling point: “There never was more

tho administration was not guilty of com
plicity With the Remington job of selling '
arms to France, and preparing cartridges !
to go aloug with the guns. The deliber

think that their speeches have satisfied tho
country on this subject, they are deluded. ”
The Cincinnati Commercial says: “The
popular phrase *dead icood on him' has a
new significance since the charge of an j

OUR NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE.
A Stroll os Broadway —Street Scenes
—The Peocle We Meet Pen-Por
traits (f an M. C. — Buffalo Bill —
A Mysterious Stranger— Stewart’s i
Oi'EMNO.
New York. March 7, 1872.
If Lavater, the physiognomist, could be 1
brought to life and walk down Broadway, j
tho old man's heart would be gladdened
at the verification of his peculiar knowl- i
edge of human nature that would be found j
written on the faces of the passing crowd. .
I suppose there is no place in the world j
where a man sees such distinctive shades ;
of nationaltics and expressions as in ai
stroll on a fair afternoon down Broadway. ;
Intellect in rags and rascality in broad- ,
cloth; countenances creased with crime j
and care; eyes alight with the excitement !
of traffic in bodies and souls: lips with
their last lie upon them, almost quivering
and in sight; and “human forms divine
that have become the temples of the worst j
i passions and vices of mankind. There is
! beauty enough to make a bachelor break
I his vows, but, robed in the fashion of the
; day, you cannot tell whether it belongs to
the great harem represented by thirty
thousand houses of prostitution, or to a
virtuous home. There is age, venerable,
aristocratic and adorned with its silver
locks, but, for ail yon know, it is fresh
from the battle-fields of Wall street, where
it has been instrumental in sending a skel
eton into a score of households. Then, |
there are the poor—God help them ! The
I poor sewing-girls in their threadbare gar
| ments; the poor old women who sit in the
cold blasts on the street corners and sell
newspapers; the poor Chinese patiently
waiting for somebody to purchase their
cheap cigar.-;; the poor blind people who
grind out the sad dirge of their fife on a
hurdy-gurdy, and are grateful for a trifle;
the poor boys and girls who brush the
mud from the streets that you may
pass over dry shod, and ask with their
pleading eyes and pinched faces for “Only
a penny, please, sir;” the omnibus dri
vers—those Cossacks of city civilization,
whose hand is literally raised against every
man, as they invite him to come in out of
the cold, and who sit from morning till
night on their frigid pedestals like so
many animated icebergs, never so lively
as when the atmosphere is ten below zero.
Where do they all find an abiding place?
That’s the question. Cheap lodgings and
the station houses, where humanity is
packed together in a filthy mass that
taints the air with corruption, tell one
part of the story; Potter’s field and the
Penitentiary tell the rest.
Yet outside of these graver shadows, the
picture is still made interesting by the
people you meet. The social and political
“lions” are always visible, and with true
democratic independence you may elbow
your way among celebrities who range
from a prize-fighter to a President. Take
my arm for a saunter down Broadway and
let me point out a few. That finely dress
ed man in front of the Sterling House,
with the form [of an Apollo, and a figure
that looms up a head above the majority
of the passing people, is Heenan, the
“Benicia Boy.” His broken nose, the
relic of a twenty-four foot ring, butsliglit
ly disfigures a modest countenance, and
tho unassuming and peaceful bearing of
tho man is in keeping with the general
character which lie lias maintained since
ho abandoned the muscular profession.
He has thousands of friends, especially
among the local politicians.
Perhaps we shall meet John Morrissey,
albietwlien in town he holds fourth at the
Hoffman House. Take’six feet of human
stature, pad it solidly with two hundred
and ton or twenty pounds avoirdupois,
give it a pair of broad shoulders and hips,
a steady underpinning, and a gait every
motion of which is indicative of power:
crown the whole with a massive head, black
hair, keen, dark eyes, an immobile face
and mouth, though slightly shaded by a
moustache and board, and marred by An
other broken nose, and yon '.have a good
peutograph as I can make of the famous
tighter, M. (J. and millionaire.
Speaking of lighting, here comes a man
ill whom you will be interested—Buffalo
Bill, areal border hero, who for the first
time has traveled east of the Mississippi
liiver. William Cody is his true name,
but in his wild life among the frontiers
men, scouting among Indians and scalp
ing Apaches, no has won a soubriquet that
has already been made famous in romance
and the drama. Ned Buntline has clever
ly “done” him in a live-act play full of
thrilling border scenes that lias set the
Bowery hoys wild with delight. You will
notice that, apparently, there is not a
spare ounce of flesh on his superb frame;
that it is knit together as with hooks of
steel, anil is litho and elastic. He moves
along with an easy, swinging stride; his
feet and hands are small, but ho seems
uncomfortable out of the moccasins and
leather leggius. He has a young face, but
what a world of character is written on it.
Although the long brown hair sweeping
down on the shoulders of the heavy blan
ket overcoat may savor of a bit of romance
in his composition, a single look into a
pair of gray eyes that you cannot help as
sociating with a rifle barrel, dispels the
notion that thore is any nonsense about
the man—anything but the terse, sharp,
high-strung courage of one who carries
his life in his hand, and brains enough, in
the language of Hawkeye, to “Sarcumvent
the pesky redskins.” He returns to his
post in a few days.
Yonder goes another character—a strange
compound who for ten years has walked
Broadway, apparently “the world unknow
ing and by the world nnknown.” I have
never yet seen a man who knew his name
or business; only this, that he came
from Europe in well-to-do circumstances,
accompanied by his wife and daughter;
that one died and the other was ruined,
sinco which time he has pursued his lonely
way among men. He dresses meanly but
walks as if he owned the street.
There is a wild glare in his eyes, height
ened perhaps by a pair of iron spectacles,
and a savage firmness about the lips, as if
he feared some mighty secret might escape
them. Altogether it is a face which even
in the crowd of Broadway prints itself on
the memory and comes up among the
ghosts of after hours.
But I am transgressing the proper lim
its of a letter, and must close even in the
middle of my chapiter. I might go on by
the hour and describe notabilities—the
Japanese princes, Greeley, Oakley Hall,
John Graham and his learned wig, Walt
Whitman the poet, Mark Twain, Josh Bil
liugs, Timothy Titcomb, Thomas Nast,
the caricaturist, and dozens of persons
whom you are likely to meet in a walk ;
yet they must lie held in reserve for anoth
er day.
Os local events there have been none
worth recording. The trial of Stokes
drags its slow length along; that of the
Mayor is still pending. Murders, suicides
and mysterious dead men make up the
rest of the procession of New York items.
The weather grows decidedly “Marchy,”
and, though clear, the clouds of dust that
play their mad pranks and whirl in eddies
up to one’s eyes, oars and nose, make a
day’s tramp anything but agreeable. It
may interest the ladies to know that
Stewart has had a grand opening of com- j
ing fashions, which for three days attract
ed thousands of the sex and constituted !
the most magnificent dry goods spectacle !
ever seen in America.
The Appletons are about producing one
of tho most beautiful books oyer publish
ed—“ Picturesque America”—-a scries of
exquisite pictures and descriptions of
picturesque localities. “Wisdom Teeth
f°r Little People,” a collection of useful
knowledge for children in the nursery and
ont of it, has been prepared by Mrs. F. G.
de Fontaine, and promises to* be a valua
ble means of education in the hands of
mothers.
York for tho publication of a book or

Friday midnight, the stores on Bay
street occupied by Baker & Brother as a
wholesale grocery and ship chandlery: by
W. J. Ilarty as a general feed store, and
by John 11. Rowe as a wholesale bakery,
were injured by fire. Insured. During
the fire the Washington Steam Fire En
gine collapsed, blowing out the inner
sheet of the fire-box, scalding Charles
O’Neal, President of the Russell Hose
Company, and knocking down, and for a
few moments stunning, that old veteran
fireman, Jas. A. Barron, the President of
the Washington Fire Company. Mr.
Barron seemed to suffer somewhat from
the shock, but otherwise we are happy to
say is not seriously hurt. Mr. O’Neal’s
feet are slightly scalded, and although
painful, the injury sustained by him is
not of a serious nature. J. Kearney,
First Assistant Foreman of the Washing
ton, and Tom Moore, a member of the
same company, were also scalded on the
feet and legs, but not otherwise injured.

The advent of a Democratic administra
tion has produced one marked effect at
Atlanta. There has been a decided falling
off in the colored population of (he city.
Large numbers of simple-minded negroes
had been attracted hitherto by the false
glaro of the late Radical administration,
and when its chief and principal financial
supporters became fugitives from justice,
they found it necessary to retire them
selves to tho farms and plantations they
had deserted. The change is visible not
only in their diminished numbers, but in
tho improved order of the city.
From the tone of many papers it would
seem that P. W. A., the private Secretary,

“ Because he is ruled by an Alexander.”

not his letter-copier.

Spurious Bonds.— Mr. Wells, whoislarge
ly interested in the Brunswick and Albany
Railroad, and his attorney, Judge I’ierre
pont, of New York, have been here, and
it is reported that they had a long inter
view with the Governor. Fortunately the
latter is an able lawyer, and thoroughly
posted in all matters relating to the bond
frauds. They fished long and deep, but

Muhi’s Patent Ice Machine.
; To the Citizens of Coldmhcs:
Having been appointed sole agent, and man
ufacturer of the Mulil Ice Machine, 1 am pre
pared to furnish the Machines from 1,000 lbs. up
to 20,000 capacity. (This is the only machine
that can be run by WATER or HORSE power).
The Machine is patented under No. 121,888.
an improvement on No. 121,402 of 1869. The
following are the advantages of this Machine:
It is simple; tho facility with which it is
worked, its cheapness and its durability makiDg
it the most practical Machine yet invented.
The only Machine now competing with it is
Carre’s Ammonia Patent, a Machine as com
plicated as it is expensive and dangerous. The
Carre Machine must have steam as a Motive
Power; this can be worked with any Power; the
Carre Machine works under a pressure of 210 to
250 lbs. to the square inch; this Machine from
40 to 60 lbs., therefore an economy in material
and an absence of danger. This Machine works
with Methylie Ether, consists of a pump which
aspires gas from a vase containing Etlior, called
the freezing box, then pumps into a conical
worm placed in a vessel of water, where it liqui
fies and is received in the Ether Reservoir, from
whence a small stream of liquid ether is allow
ed to escape to tiie freezing box. The different
evaporations and liquifactions producing alter
natively cold.
1 will put up and produce Ice with every Ma
chine I soli, in the quantity guaranteed in the
price list. Parties wishing specifications or
Machines, will please address me at Columbus. |
Ga. Any person of ordinary intelligence can j
run this Machine after two days’ instruction.
This Machinc'will manufacture Ice at a cost of 1
not over IS cents per hundred lbs., and at about i
one-half by water power.
Respectfully, yours.

Portable Gas Light.
I WOULD respectfully call the attention of
the public to anew mode of producing artifi
cial light from Petroleum Spirits.
This useful invention is now offered to the
trade as the most perfect Portable Gas Light
ever invented, combining Safety, Brilliancy,
Economy and Durability, to a greater degree
than any other illuminator in use It burns a
beautiful, white flame, with all the force and
steadiness of coal gas, and the size of which is
regulated with equal facility, at the same
time being much softer to the eye, as it has none
of the impurities contained in coal gas. The
cost is less than 1-12 that of Coal Gas, and much
cheaper than Keroseno Oil—avoiding the intol
erable nuisance of cleaning lamps, trimming
wicks, See., and saving the cost of chimneys,
which is about equal to the cost of oil.
Tlio Lamps aro made of metal, therefore se
cure against breakage. Each fixture is com
plete in itself, and generates its own gas. The
principle on which these Lamps are constructed
will commend itself to the good sense of all.
Call and see them.
