Dare the administration withstand the clamor of the colored vote for recognition in tho Su preme Court as well as in the Benate of tbe 1 cited States Worht. ■ With reverence and regret we repeat to-day l Sir Ector’s words of sorrow for tho great Sir I Lancelot, and apply them to the man who died '• yesterday—the noblest knightof our generation. ( Tho liero of the Arthurian legends as he Isy dead in Joyous-Gard witn the record of a life made splendid by great deeds, might have rd- , vived other than kindly, or ennobling recoliec- j tiocs in the moarner’s mind; for the wronged king and the breaking up of the goodly fellow ship of tho Ronnd Table could not be forgotten, but lay like shadows upon the dead knight But in the life of Robert Edmnnd Lee, there was no reproach of man or woman; his deeds were dimmed by no wrongs done or duty unfulfilled; there was no stain upon his honor and no nr- righteous blood upon his bands. He was indeed a good knight, noble of heart and strong of pur pose, and both a soldier and a gentleman. The age that knew him if not the ago of chivalry, wi! yet be remarkable for having produced in him a man as chivaliic as any that lives in his tory. He, too. was one, and the greatest one, of a goodly fellowship that was broken up and scattered ahont the world. Somo of these South ern knights have gone before him, and with him departs the last remnant of tho cause for which they fought and the strength that so long up held it. In every pnrticula r he possessed the requisites of a true soldier. He was brave; his whole military record and lifo-loDg scorn of danger alike bear testimony to bis bravery. He wa3 wise; his great successes against great odd*, and bis almost constant anticipation of the enemy’s movements were proofs of hiswisdom. He was skillful; his forced marches and un expected victories assert his skill. He was pa tient and unyielding; his weary straggle against the mighty armies of the North and his stem defence of Richmondforever preserve the mem ory of his patience and resolution. He was gentle aud just; the soldiers who fought neder him and who came alive out of the great fight, remembering and chetiihing the memory of the man, can one and all, testify to his gentleness end his justice. Above all be was faithful; when be gave np his sword there was no man in his own ranks or in those of the enemy that doubted bis fai'h, or believed that be bad not d no all that mortal could do for tbe cause for which be had made such a noble straggle. ■When the last chance was gone, and all hope was at an end, the old hero bowed to a higher will than his own, and accepted the fate of the Sanlh with calm grandeur. Bat he was done with all his wars. He could never take the field again; he knew that it was not for him to see the act of secession upheld by the South and recognized by tbo North, and after tbe fail ure of his own countrymen he was too old and war-worn to draw his sword in a foreign quftr- reL Ho passed from the fever of tbe camp into the quiet of the cloister, and, cs the Presi dent of the Washington College in Virginia, spent the remaining portion of his sixty-three Yews in working for the good of his native State. We cannot express all the truth that could be told about Lee, nor can we do justice to his worth and fame, but perhaps the few words of Sir Ector are tbe best after alL He was a good knight, a true gentleman;’ knowing this, let us leave him with fame and posterity; with the rest, the Resurrection and the Life. Jolm Hnincy Adam* on “Disloyally” anil ••Rebel On traces.” From a recent speech delivered by this gen tleman, we extract as follows: Wnat is their favorite charge against all who differ with them? "They are disloyal.” What is that ? Well, I will tell you. Loyalty is a word derived from old fondal times, and ex presses the relation of the slave to his master, the subjection of the serf to his lord, tho re gard of the vassal for his king. The citizen is free, the subject is loyal. Loyalty Is no new thing. It was rampint here before the battle of Bunker’s Hill. Then, ss now, the rich and high were most “loyal.” The “loyalists.” how ever, disliked the climate after the “Decora tion.” They are remembered ns Tories now. Generals Warren and Putnam were “rebels” about the same time. Let the negro, if he likes, be loyal to his carpet-bagger, and tbe office holder to his pa'ron, »nd the Radical pol- ! itician to his “government,” but as for ns, we j v.i-1 be client with the old f iphioned.wais of ' onr fathers, aud swear with them “to the best I of oar ability to preserve, protect, aud defend ' tho Const!uli m of the United States.”- These | are not icy notions, genil-moa ; they wore the i notions of Thomas Jefferson. According to ! him each man has aright-limited only by his 1 neighbor’s equal rights to his life, to his liberty aod to pursue hi i own bappinaw in his own way. These wexo righto which bo maintained to be inherent, inalienable, and not derivative or held by any service. All governments can do is to see that these righto are not interfered with, or tbe man's innocent, free action hampered. The best government is that which governs least. Tho best governed are those who govern them selves. My friends, exactly that is onr notion ' to day. All that is necessary to dispose of all [ these questions which the paternal meddling and ■ managing of tho party of all tho morals has i raised, is to apply tho simple Democratic test to ; them, and mark tho result. Do you ask mo how j to deal with tho South? Tho Democratic doe- I trine is contained in a queer, old, rusty, and ! forgotten pamphlet. Let mo read it to you : ; “Tho people of this commonwealth havo the . sole and exclusive right of governing themselves ' as a free, sovereign and independent State; and | do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise nnd ' enjoy overy power, jurisdiction, and right which I is not or may not hereafter be by them expressly delegated to the United States of America in Congress assembled.” And if that is treason— * as I suppose it is nowadays—why, it is high . lime that the book which contains it bo burned by the common hangman Itisontitled, “ADeo- Iaration of the Eights of the Inhabitants of the Commonwealth of Massr.chnsatls.” That, gentle men, is pure disloyal Democracy, and nothing , cl-.c. and we stivk to it still. But," then n colored gentleman, theother night at Fanenil Hall, told us that there were “outrages” uttbeSoutb. Well, I should think it very probable. I only wonder there aro not more. It must be amean-spirited, people that would not grow ontrageons under such treatment. I am sure MusjacLuHeito peo ple were rough enough when a similir attempt was made to reconstruct them in I7C5. For an infringement of their liberties, not ono-hnn- dredtb part as gros3 as that perpetrated on Geor gia, they bnrat down tbo house of Governor Hutchinson, and plundered and rifled and robbed the honses of the Register of the Admir- Napoleon, was one showing the future of the Emperor’s mistress. This paper presents in the form of a legal document detailing the mar- riage settlement of Elizabeth Aon Harriet, Oountess of Beauregard, France, of the chateau Beauregard, near Versailles, better known as Miss or Mistress Howard. The deed was made out on tho occasion of the nhion by marriage of this lady with Clarence Trovellyan, in the month of May, in the year 1854. Two sched ules which are attached to the paper make known that the Countess possessed XI 17,000 sterling in English and other foreign securities, including the hum of $90,0G0 in Pennsylvania (United States) railway debentures, $74,000 in Sl Lonis and Cincinnati bonds, besides another and additional sum of X59,000 sterling, which is described as “other stocks aod funds and se curities,” and distinguished as the “settled fund.” She had besides divers other invest ment . shares and securities, with jowels and other person il estate, and a landed property in France daring tbo later years of her life. PLATE AND JEWELS. The plate and jewels, with the property therein last mentioned, had not been scheduled or valued, but were distinguished from the bonds and cash entries under their proper ti tles. A FORTUNE. The residuary estate was, as is shown by the deeds, “of great extent;" but leaving it ont of tbe estimate of the gross value of the property, the specific items of her fortnne, os described and set forth, amonnted to the startling sum of ono hundred and seventy-six thousasd pounds sterling. This vast amount must have been amassed by this Lady Beauregard wilhia the brief poriod of two and a half years between the 2d of December, in the year 1851, and the 15th of May, 1854—for it is notorious as a fact that down to tbe period of the accomplishment of the coup d’etat ilie pecuniary circumstances of Lonia Napoleon Bonaparte were very straitened. the HEiit Tho deed of settlement contains a provision to the amount of twenty thousand pounds sterling in favor of Martin Constantine Hergett, entitled andcalled in France Count Beauregard, a eon of the Countess, bnt the name of his father is not stated. It is pretty well known in England, however, that this Martin is a son of Jem Mason, the celebrated steeple chase jockey rider. THE COUNT » Y POSTMASTER. Donn Platt the Ytcflm of Daniel Piatt. Lake George Cor. Cincinnati Com. J This summer’s rush of people played sad hav- oe with the mails. A poor old postmaster ac- cus'omed to half a dozen letters a week and a fair lot of newspapers, suddenly finds himself overwhelmed with mail matter. B igs tumble in on him filled to bnrsiiDg. Ho at firot at tempts to sort and distribute the contents; then, worried to death by the roir of voices de manding their letters, be tnrns tbe bm-in.-ss over to tbe clerks and messengers of hotels aod boarding houses. The totters in this way come after a time to tho wrong people, but the jour nals are never heard of. I had been at La’io George some two weeks without gt ttiog any mail matter, al hough I had sent over most every day. Wearied out at last, I went myself. I found a little sandy-haired, heavy jawed, full-stomached man pegging away at an old boot on the cob- tor’s bench. I asked this industrious son of Ss. Crispin for tbe postmaster. ‘ I’m him,” responded the shoemender. He might be a Sam or a him, but I looked incredulously upon the fact asserted or referred to of postmastershin. He continued to drive in the pegs, whistling as shoemakers are wont to whistle, in a waxy way, a tune that, when accompanied by tho proper words, refers to some sort of eccentricity of the weasel, when popping, whatever they may be. I looked Bt this vegetable production with carroty bair and reddish cheeks, as he pegged and popped, and, finding that he in'ended taking no further no tice of me, I mildly sngges’ed that if he were the postmaster I would be glad to get my tot ters and papers. “What’s yonr name ?” ha asked, suspending tho whistled popping of the weasel, but going on with exasperating work. I responded by giving tbe cognomen, and was told brii fly in words to wit: “Ain’t noihing for yon,” and then he tooknp the extraordinary weasel. I remonstrated, and a rid that there mnU be some mistake. “Well,” he said, “go look for yonrself. There’s the V's ” I did asdireoted, and found eighteen letters and a pile of newspapeis. “What the devil do you mean by saying I had no m iil r “Is that yonr name ?” he asked, coolly. “Cerlainiy it is.” “Well, I thought it was Daniel Pratt.” I was rapidly resolving into an indignation meeting, with divers resolutions, and a strong tendency to punch somebody’s head. “Yon thought that nameDaniel Pra»t, did yon? Well, it strikes me that it would be well for you to leara reading and wri'ing before playing tbe devil in a postoffice.” “Well, stronger,” be responded, suspending both musio and work, “ef I had such an out landish name as yonr’n, I’d go back and be a baby, so as to bo christened over, I would. I found that the littlo red headed woodpecker was getting the better of tho controvcr-y, and so, prudently withdrew. He had hit me, unwit tingly, in a tendar place. But I did not like him eny the better for that With somo indignation, I s'ta’cd my grievances at the hotel, and an old frequenter of Lako Georgo told me that the postmaster was one of the features of tho place. Ho has been in office from an early day, and is a man of varied accomplishments. He was postmaster, magistrate, shoe-maker, and at one time kept astnd horse. There is a tradition afloat that, years ago, he found the law that required him to be in his office every day very embarrassing, so ho com promised by putting nil tho totters in his hat, and canyiDg tho post-office aronnd with him. The searcher after mail.matter would have to run tho post-office down, and when found, tho obliging officer would pour the letters upon the floor or ground, and let tho curious individual search for himself. When the loiters got to greasy and soiled as not to be legible, he would forward them to Washington as dead letters. There is no use complaining of the short comings and deficiencies of the official, for he cannot be turned out. There is no one in or about Caldwell willing to be bis successor. Andy Job:.B-jn tried to make the Poslma‘ter at OaUl- well understand his policy. A correspondence sprang np in reply to a circnlarissiiedby Andy’s Postmaster General. But this high function ary c mid cot read the Caldwell man’s writing, Jersey Cider and Champagne, From the Aeicark Adeertiser. \ ’• Those engaged in the businoss say that the quantity made this year will exceed the total amount that his been made within the last twelve years; and judging from the amount tnrned off at some of the largest presses near Newark, ibe whole product in Essex county can not fall short of 1,000,000 gallons. This, of course, is the result of an enormous crop of apples. They lie now in the orchards, piled np by the cord. The cider made in this vicinity during the season, np to about the first of the present month, has been put in large casks for vinegar, or sold in Newark to housekeepers, grocers, and saloons in small casks. From this time forward, however, the bulk of the crop will be prepared for a beverage, stored for bottling or sold to wine makers. Our largest manufacturers have more orders than they can fill for pale'cider, as that makes the best champagne. All cider for drinking is allowed, to. feemest, and just when tbe fermentation ceases it is racked off ioto another cask. If allowed to stand after Foreign Nates PEEP ABED roa THE TELEGRAPH AND MKSSENOEB. Dark olouds are lowering over fair France, yet the French cannot forego entirely their in born love for witty sayings. An excellent “calembourg,” respecting tho Emperor, is now making the ronnd of the country, viz: "Napo leon a perdu ses dents [Sedan] et tie pourra plus mordre." On September 27th, 1681 the French General Montelar under pretence of a review collected an army of 30,00o men near Strasbourg; on September SOtb, 1681 this free German Impe rial city in times of profound peace was taken possession of by Montelar in the name of Louis QnatoTze, sometimes called Le Grand. On September 23tb, 1870, Strasbourg, so fa mous in German song and poetiy, opened her gates again to the Germans, after having con tinued .a member of the French Empire for 189 years. The Emperor of Russia hns bestowed upon Yon Moltke the Order of SL George, Una being tho highest Kassian decoration. There have been -rarious p«ace rumors afloat, fermentation it sours. It goes through the rack- intimating that the Prussian government would ing process three or four times till all the sedi- relinquish its claims for the cession of French alty and of the Comptroller of the Cnstoms in’ Boston. And, my friends, famye^y much afraid j could not understand the • policy. At last it reached a point where the they would do it again, loyal as they are, in a like case. It is always so in such cases. Ireland ! is full of “ outrages,” Poland was famous for i “outrages,” and Hungary was so outrageous that Austria has been compelled to restore her J constitutional rights to her in order to stop the | “outrages.” Of course there are outrages in the subjec: States. I know of one myself, a gross out- ' rage; indeed, very nearly as infamous an outrage as over was committed upon a free people, the great, original and supreme outrage—reconstruc tion. XIV V.rvK Daw, of Weare, N. H., finds oom- fort in the possession of an old pewter platter that was being set upon the table for suppor by , bis grandmother, at the time she was struck and ! killed by lightning, many yeprs ago. Cabinet officer was able to make out one line. It read as follows; “Your policy be damned.” This was a strong sentiment and spelled with great vigor. Andy got in a profound rage, and ordered the office to be given to a new man. But the new man conld not be found. No one wonld have the place. So the contumacious orthograpbist of a profane turn was permitted to remain and will remain so long as the Lord permits him to cumber tho sandy soil about Caldwell. A gentleman, who resides in Jennings coun ty, Indiana, was astonished last week by tbe announcement that he had been bequeathed $2,000 by a man whom he had been at daggers’ points for npwarda of twenty years. ment is extracted. Fish sounds and isinglass in a state of solution at the last racking give it the requisite clearness for champagne, and con vert it into what is known as clarified cider. To get champagne, all that is necessary is to give the cider the quality of grape jnice, which contains sugar, carbonic acid and alcohol.— Granulated sugar is dissolved, and the solution, with a little alcohol, is pnt in the cask. Then an apparatus similar to a soda water fountain is set to work. A copper cylinder, containing whiting or chalk, has over it a little globe con nected with it by a tube. The globe contains vitriol, which, being dropped npon the whiting in the cylinder, generates carbonic aoid gas. Anothor cilinder, with a crank, receives the cider, and the gas being lot in through a tube, tbe crank to turned and the gas thoroughly mingled with the cider; after which it passes through a long pipe into bottles, stood in a machine which forces in the corks without ad mitting the air. Tbe mixture, after receiving proper French labels, is neatly packed in bas kets and carted to Broadway and other stores, where it is retailed from $3 upwards per quart bottle. Cheap European wines are generally mixed with the cider in this process; and an immense quantity of champagne manufactured in this country is made from Rhine wine and cider. A well known and reliable bottler in Newark states that he was solicited a few years since to enter into this business, and made acquainted with the whole secret, bnt d-clined. A. thirty gallon cask of cider at 90 cents per gallon cost ing $G, by this process yields in champagne at $3 per quart, $860, with a trifling deduction for loss, labor, bottles, eto. Reliable men en gaged in bottling cider sty that it is their be lief that nine tenths of the champagne drank in this country is manufactured from our native cider. La>ge cargoes of poor cider are taken to England, sugared, mingled with bad low- priced wines, and receive an infusion of log wood or other coloriNg matter, aad come back to us in neatly bottled port and other colored wines. Wine that becomes dead and sonr is fixed up by mixing in cider, which produces fermentation. This business is carried on ex tensively in this immediate vicinity, Brooklyn, New York, eto. Surrender of Jtol*. I"Herald's Special.] London, October 27.-Yonr special corres pondent at Ostend telegraps that the statement received from Mercy Le Haute to the effect that Upon receiving a formal declaration signed* by the Empress that she was unwilling to sign a treaty involving a cession of the French terri tory, or to be a party to any scheme involving a probable outbreak of a civil war in Franco, Bazaine exclaimed that he weald take all neces sary responsibility himstlf. This was Wednes day night. B izaino immediately sent a parle- mentary through bis lines to Prince Frederiok- Charles, at Pout-a-Mousson. The Prince p*me up during the night to Cholera de Frescoty, where, early this morning, stipulations were signed for the surrender ot the army of Bazaine and tho fortress of Metz. The report adds that Gen. de Coffinierres, Commandant of the garrison of Metz, entered a written protest against the surrender, de claring lie was abundantly able to protract the defense into the winter. Tnat tho recent de feats of the Germans had made it practically impossible to imperil the possession of the place, and that provisions were in abundance, both for the army and populace. Since the 15'h of October the inhabitants had received daily rations of 4,000 grammes bread for adults, 200 grammes bread lor children, and 100 grammes for infants. OEEMAN LOSSES IN THE SIEGE. A correspondent at Ostend Rajs the folal loss of the army of Prince Frederick Charles from the beginning oJ.'lhe siege to estimated at 45,- 000 men by battle and disease. The army of Frederick Charles consisted, on the 20th of Oc tober, of the First, Second, Third, j Sev.entb, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth army corps, iritji two divisions of Landwtlir attached to the Ninth army corps, miking a total of 140,000, artillery and oavalryincluded. ...,r The surrender of Baziine is stated to. have been mado upon a full understanding with the Prussian Government that the occupation of Metz and Strasbourg shall be accepted as un ad equate basis for withdrawing the German armies from France, and conc’iudiog peace. territory. We venture to assert that peaoa ne gotiations on tbe basis of the integrity of French soil will never succeed, and the rumored official intervention of the British Cabinet will also be unavailable. The Prussian government, in this instance fairly representing the overwhelming feeling now existing is to make an entire change majority of all German tribes, will certainly in- in the mode of planting: to atop the produo- sist on the annexation of Alsace and the Ger man put of Lorraine, the dismantlement of Metz, and the entry of the German armies into Paris. We are of the opinion that nothing less thin the acceptance of these terms on the part of the French will put a stop to tho war, unless an extraordinary crushing catastrophe befall the German armies in France. The course of events in France and Italy are inspiring the Italian patriots with hopes of re covering Nice, ceded to France after the peace of Villafraaca. In the city of Nice the popula tion aro growing bolder in their anti-French and pro-Italian demonstrations. This was particu larly tbe oise, when at an election of officers for the Gardes Nationales all Frenchmen and Fronch sympathizers were entirely excluded. A popular meeting called to nominate candi dates for the coming municipal elections, after having prevented all French speakers from ad dressing the assembly, elected only patriotic native Italians. On the following day the pre fect had a list of official candidates posted on tho walls; bnt an address of the national party advised the people not to elect the candidates of the government, but to remain true to the cause of Laly. Thereupon the authorities de clared tbe city in a state of siege and sent for several thousand French troops from Antibes. It to a remarkable phenomenon that the Re publican party in Italy is strongest and most powerful in all States formerly subjected to the rate of tho Papal See. Bologna, Rimini, Ra venna are tho centers of the Italian Republi cans. Rome h'-S hardly boon oconpied by the Italian troops when the same symptoms are to be observed there. Several revolutionary up risings have only been prevented by the vigi lant attention of the government. Negotiations referring to the position of the Pope towards the Italian Government continue. The Roman Princes of the Church are said to be animated by conciliatory feelings in regard to the King dom of Italy. The Government is to propose guarantees for the spiritual independenco of tne Pope, and the payment of a liberal civil list, while all powers are to be invited to offer suggestions promising tho free intercourse of the Supremo Pontiff with the Catholics living in their fiominions. They are likewise to fix their sharo towards the support, of tho Papal Court Pius IX has appointed the Cardinals Gaidi, Silvostri and Di Pielro to prepare drafts respecting tho modus vivondi with Italy. It is, therefore, positively understood that the Pope has no intention of leaving Rome to oeek an asylum in America or on tlio Isle of Malta, as has been repeatedly reported We think that, freed from all political cares, seated in the Vatican as the acknowledged spiritual head of the whole Catholic world, PiusIXoffors a more snblime spectacle than as the temporal ruler of a petty State.

The Reputdicna in London loudly declare tion It appears that misfortune has wowed a hat iho Marshal is a traitor, andtha ho con- sad ch»ge m the tionof such overwhelming quantities of cotton and raise more provisions at home. rr 1 A meeting of a newly organized agricultural dob was held a second time at the above named place on the 8th nit., the object of which is to promote the intorest of and insure a support for farmers—employer and employed. At the first call of some of the prominent fanners to meet for the purpose of creating such an association, twenty-four names were enrolled, and at the second meeting the nnmber was increased to thirty-one. The offioers of this club are among Houston’s first men—Dr. L, B. Alexander, Pres ident; George M. Feagin and H. Frederick, E«qs., Vice Presidents, and George Hi White, Esq., Secretary and Treasurer. These leading planters and influential men have wisely formed the determination to make a radical change in the present plan of farming, mutally agreeing among themselves, and pledging their utmost endeavors to persnade others, to reduce these wide extended cotton fields and plant exten sively in corn, wheat, rye, oats, potatoes and peaa. Mr. Feagin, at the last meeting, moved that some moans be adopted “to remove the oorn crib and meat bouse of every man in Hous ton from the city of Macon.” . This motion, proceeding from a man renowned as well for tratb, justice and benevolence as for long ex perience in agriculture, received & hearty re sponse; and though oar company contained none of the scions of Cicero, yet it were indeed entertaining to hear thelaconie, common-sense, practical speeches in defense of the motion of Mr. Feagjn. And, snrely, defense is not an ap plicable term, as each member exhibited the greatest zeal and alacrity to . express his views and use his mite of argument for curtailing the cotton crop. Each one firmly declared' that for three years past he had, pecuniarily, been on the decline, notwithstanding the most rigid economy, and that unless a speedy change was effected this country would be impoverished and the cry of bread re-echo through the land. They correctly expressed the idea that the amount of raw material is too enormous, and must needs bo diminished in order that the white man and negro be insured a support in raising cotton. What has produced this startling reaction in the cotton market? What is it that forces the farmer to' unavoidable, total loss, when the combined prospects of the spring promised such handsome rewards for a twelvemonth of unre mitting labor and annoyance with the freed- man ? ’Tis the overwhelming amount of cotton now flooding the market, having been promptly prepared -to meet tho draft. Aud it to aa re markable as true, that as the prices of cotton decrease, the prices tif provisions as • regularly increase. “Why," asks the almost despondent farmer, “do you rise so much on yonr corn and bacon, Mr. Merchant?” “The war, the war,” 6ays ho. “Ah,” sighs the farmer, “the Tennes seean, Ohioan and Kentuckian. are folly, aware of the condition of tho South for supplies; they know we cannot suffer our wives and children to starve, that our energies have been applied to tho cultnre of cotton, while the hog and cornfield have been neglected. Knowing onr. situation, therefore, they unmercifully double, triple the prices of cam and bacon." Such ideas were presented and freely .discussed, and each one gavo a vote to begin themselves, and to induce others to adopt the systemof planting one third cotton, the remainder in, something to live on. A Mr. King, a small farmer, felt very 8oasibly the less li9 must sustain this winter, aud with genuine feeling,- expressed some very truthful and amusing remarks. He said, “Man*? years ago, gentlemen, the caterpil'ar .did bis level best to eat np our cotton, stalk and nil. It was as common as eating soup with a splinter to hear wo farmers talking about the ranious condition of our crops, nnd.every man sugges ted a plan to^got rid of ‘tlie’Critter.

Many freedmen were present at thelast rntfetihg. On consulting, I find they all heartily agree to the measures laid down in the Constitution, Regulations and By-Laws of the Club, and promise the farmer fheir labor in effecting this important change.

A Wonderful I’arruL From the Detroit Free Frees.) The recent demise of a somewhat noled par- rot, of the g*ay African species, very mnch to the sorrow of his ownely a resident of Oongrow street east, recalls some anecdotes of tbe bird that we have heard related by the owner, that wonld soem almost incredible were they not well attested. Among others the following good one will, perhaps, suffice to prove the wonder ful sagacity of Polly when he chose to be smarfc His owner was teasing him playfully one day, when Polly canght one of hto fingers and bit it quite severely. Scolding him a little in response, he used the words “yon old rip”—he avers tho first and only time he had done so. Some days after this occurrence, some lady acquaintances of the family called to see and make PollyVoo- quaintance. as they had heard of him and hto exploits. Of course hto mistress, having beard the object of the visit, was quite anxious to have him show all his good points. Bringing him into the parlor, she commenced her efforts at an introduction to the ladies by talking to and coaxing him to throw off hisnatnral reserve in company and show some of his acquirements. But all this would not answer to induce him to make a motion or otter a syllable. Hie mistress not succeeding, the ladies undertook, by ca resses and ooaxing, to draw him out, but Polly sat back upon his perch without an apparent shadow of interest in the affair. At last tho ladies, becoming tired of their efforts, roee to depart, wh6U one of them, indignant at hto treatment, went up to hto cage to hid him good- ' w V 1 ** bye, with a few words in condemnation of his ‘ j 'to treatment of ladies who had called expressly to ci see him. 3 Polly listened patiently to the lecture^ .'if and when it was finished, ran across his perch, pnt his head through the bars until his bill was in close proximity to her face and then, in th» , ; loudest, plainest, and most indignant tones roared out, “Yon old rip!” “Yon old rip!” A stampede from the parlor was the instants- . neons effect of that speech. The most striking pecnliarity of this parot was that he had no sing song phrases to be con stantly cepeated whether in or ont of place, bnt his talking, both answers and questions, were apropos to the time. As an illustration, he sl- *’.rf ways recognized his master’s step, and would in stantly call out to him, “How do you do, old boy?" and being answered “Pretty well,” hto , , ' • response was “All right.” On seeing hto owner patting on his hat and coat to leave the honse, he was sure to call for the parting salute with “Good-bye, old boy ! Come and kiss me, good bye..’” Identifying and always calling by name every member of the family without any mis takes, is an instance that we have never heard su related before of any of the bird species. If wanting his food, or to see hto mistress, he ., would address the servant, ‘‘Bridget, where’s Mrs. H.?" If the reply was, “Goue oat,” ha would then call for any olher member of tha family that wonld answer his purpose, and al ways correctly by name, and when they were - , not preaenL . These are but a very small sample of hto say ings and doings. His vocal, and especially Ui imitative powers, were equally well developed. -• He would whistle a part of tbe Silver Lake Waltz as well a3 the human voice could rends*,'', it. Laughing, crying, and the perfect imita- - tion of other birds and 'animals, and peculiar «to voices of all kinds seemed to be bis favorite pastime. * ' Sleep Produced by Chloral. The following is taken from the Boston Jour nal of Chemistry: We have not Keen any ob servations regarding the nature of sleep HL»*<f suiting from the use of the hydrate of chloral^ r the new anresthetie, jet it is a poict of mnch interest aud worthy o'f study, in the numerous experiments made in our own case, and from experiments made npon others, we are led to think that the sleep is peculiar, certainly unlike natural sleep in its general influence npon tha system. It is doubtful if the recuperative ac- J* tion npon the brain in a large degree corres ponds wi'h it. Tbe curtain of the mind seema - -* to be fully drawn ; there is no dreamy condi tion, nothing akin to somnolentia, in the sleep ' produced by chloral. The insensibility, al- though apparently entire, is less profound than the healihfal, natural sleep. A slight noise ;,, awakens the patient, and the wakefulness is perfect, although it may lost only for a moment. At one time; having taken thirty grains of tha agent, and fallen asleop, a loose blind moved by tbe wind, thumped against the honse. The awakening was instantaneous; no lingering drowsiness was felt, and yet in perhaps half fc $ minute insensibility was resumed: Tne sleep has no interval, or season of insupportable: j drow.-iness ; there is no swaying to and fro, b«- . tween the conscious and unconscious condition; ; sleep comes like sadden darknesi« hen a bright . light is ex'.irguished in a room in the night time. If sleep is simply the sespension of the operations of tho senses, if it is nothing but unconsciousness, then we have no difficulty in defining the exact influence of chloral; bnt WS > incline to. the opinion that in natural stoop L there to a peculiar physical or mental c -uditioo- exibting independent of the insensibility. The morning after a night of sleep induced by chloral, there is no headache, no nausea, moe unpleasant feelings whatever, but an indefi nable sense of lightness, and exhilaration which is, not like that produced by stimulants. Tho impression is that there has been a pleasant un consciousness without or with imperfect sleep. The body and the mind are refreshed, but not; in kind or degree, like that which results fram natnml, healthful slumber. It may be thai chloral docs not positively prodnee sleep, bnt a prolonged peculiar unre'hesia, which serve* many of tho purposes of t-leep. Manifestly, wo know at present but little regarding tho precise nature of the effects produced upon tho -* l unctions of the mind and body by this drag. We know enough, however, to feel convinced that it is a most important addition to materia medica, and that it is better calculated to re lieve a larger class of suffering patients than, any agent hitherto suggested. ’ tJ •' -* A L^hsou lor ‘‘Storers.” A correspondent writes that Paw Paw, Mtafe- igan, can famish its full quota of these featto ered bipeds, yclept “loafers,” *gpt« principal ' . occupation to loitering about the public houses, staring at ladies who p.sa l>y, watching tho crossing! on windy days, their vacant faces ra diating with a satisfied grin if by chance a bit of petticoat or an ankle is exposed to their gaatL Aa three of these worthies were lotmging on tho steps of the R House, a day or two since, * young lady, a stranger, *:id exceedingly beau tiful, passed Dy, of the admiring stare whieh the gronp gave her, and entered L- ’s dental rooms.
