Representative Price, of this State, recently made a speech in the House of Representatives at Washingti*, in be half of tho proposed Western and At lantic Canal, which he closed with the following beautiful and oloijuent review of tho monuments of antiquity : ‘•lu conclusion, Air. Speaker, permit mo to say that there is involved iu this whole question another matter which has furnished a jpreat deal of pleasuro to those who, like myself, have reflected upon it.. The contemplation of a work like this affords the thought that through this medium, perhaps, will come to the South that prosperity which siio in particular so much needs j that it will make her sons and daughters happy and j contented, rejoicing in the prospect of j comfort and peace. Indeed, wo can see in two completion of this great work what the President of the United States s.rd on one occasion, when a committee of gentlemen from Georgia addressed him in relation to this enterprise, “a practical rocoiHirucfion.” “When completed, as I earnestly hope and believe it will be, it will be a monument <¥t honor to. those who have, through many difficulties and no little obloquy, and evpu against the former policy of the South in sucli matters, pressed it successfully upon tho atten tion of the country, It will be a great commercial artery, through which the lifeblood of the’country will flow, and which will join together a people who have been separated in feoliug, because they knew so, little of each other. It such ends are accomplished by means like this, then can it truly fee said that “Peace hath lier victories no levs renowned than war.” ‘Seldom has it ever occurred, in the history of any people t fiat work lfke this when once finished, has ever been al lowed to crumble and decay. It will st lid when works dedicated to the merely beautiful have passed from the face of man. Jt has been said that the tomb of Moses is unknown, but the traveler in the Iloly Land may yet slake his thirst at the well of Jacob The gorgeous palaces of the , wi.-csT and wealthiest of monarclis-, \vi;li cedar, and gold, and ivory, and eveu the Great Temple of Jerusalem, hallowed by the visible glory of the Deity Himself, are goac, but Solomon’s reservoirs are -as perfect as ever. Of the ancient archi tecture of the Holy City not one stone fa left upon another, but tho pool of Bethesda commands the pilgrim’s rever ence, even at the present day. The columns of Porsepolis are mouldering into dust, but its cisterns aud acque ducts remain to challenge our admira tion.- The golden house of Nero is a mass of ruins but the Aqua Claudia still pours its limpid streams into the city of Rome. The Temple of the Sun Tadmor, in the wilderness, has fallen, but its fountains stilljsparkle in its rays as when thousands of worshippers thronged its lofty colonades. It may be t' i at this beautiful and magnificent Capitol may share the fate of Babylon, (which Heaven forofend,) and nothing bo left to mark it save mouldering mounds of crumbling marble and brick work, but the beautiful Potomac still quiely on t< the Atlantic, beuriug upon its Bosom the fruits of toiling thousands. And if any work of art should rise over the deep ocean Time, wo well believe that it would bo neither a palace nor a temple, but some vast aqueduct, canal or reservoir ; aud if any name should flash through the rni-t of antiquity, it would probably be that of the man who in his day sought tlie happiness of his fellow man rather than glory, and link <“d his memory to some great work of national utility.’ On Hi, that when Miss Nellie Grant was in London, D’lsraeli was asked whether he thought the American Prin cess pretty? ‘‘l can’t say," replied the author of Lothair, “ for 1 have only seen her once. She was then sitting between General Schenk’s two daughters, aud I thought she had some indirect claim to good looks.” An Indianapolis woman lately gave birth to a child during her husband's absence, and just before his return, “the neighbors” borrowed two other babies, and pi ced them in bed with tjlc little stranger. When the father asked to see his child, the coverlid was turned down, and, although he must have been immensely surpri id, he coolly turned to . his wife aud asked, “Did any get away V” > Ncwmiiinprs VlntraKiues lute h’ospitliw for IS7 : i—r L\tli Vrar, THK ALDINE An lllmlniled lienlhly Journal, universally aihuiUed to lie l lie llamisciiicst i’erioilia! in I lie World.
