They are literally speaking like- Bootb Oabouha Fexcd Bonus—The Charles ton News and Oonriet prints a rumor from Co lombia that the Supreme Court of that State will dreot a mandamus to be Issued commsnd- ing tbe Ci mptroller General to levy a tax to ptj interest on the fraud bond*, and that a levy of four mille on the dollar will at onee be or dered for that purpose. Gocn Wbeat Cbops in tux Wist.—The St. Louis Democrat of tbe 17ih Inst, says: “There it a paragraph circulating among onr exchanges to the tffect that tbe present winter wbeat crop (now largely being harvested) is n bad failure. From every quarter of Miaaonri, Kansas and Southern Illinois we hear bnt one story, name ly : That no crop ever looked better or prom ised to yield better wheat, or more of it, than the one now ripening.” Tax Vxcont Chief Justicbship.—The Balti more Bun's Washington correspondent says the statement is made in that city, and apparently ou goed authority, that tho President has deter mined to appoint to the vacant Chief Justice ship the Hon. E. U Iloar, of Massachusetts, ex- Attorney General. The President onoe sent In the n.me of Mr. Hoar for tho position of Asso ciate Jnstice of the Snpreme Court, bnt in con sequence of his unpopularity with Senators by reason of his demeanor toward them when at the bead of the Department of Jnstice, be was Kjeoted. Da. Joscru Panooust, for more than thirty- four yean a professor—first of surgery and after wards of anatomy—in the Jefferson Medical College of Paiiadelphia, and as well known as he is highly esteemed by bnndreds of gradu ates of that oollege now soattered ail over the Bomb, has retired from that position. Ho is one of the ablest, if not the ablest, snrgeon in this country, and the “Jeff” will miss him greatly. He will not retire from praotico, how ever, whieh is good news to the many afflicted persons who are constantly seeking relief at his hands.

As tbe Era jnstly moralizes, “Tbe beat paid representative! of law, pbyaio, and divinity are old men before they are bleased with any sprinkling! of Dante's golden shower. They rro past fifty when fortune smiles.” Mr. Bothers is not yet three and forty. Bnt then bow many actors are there so fortunate as Mr. Sothern ? Not the Man —We r hall feel unspeakable re lief to know that tbe following, whieh is fnnnd in tbe World of Saturday, is tree, and that the white plume of the Knight of Shiloh and the first Manassas has not been dragged in the filthy oexs of negro eqnality. The World says: A telegram from New Orlotns says that it is not Gen Beauregard who signed the recent ad dreaa in New Orleans to the people of Louisiana for a reunion of all elements favorable to the welfare of the State and the rights of the col ored people, but a Republican politician of the same name, who is no telation to tbe former. “We Can't Lie Oct or It.”—The Milwaukee (WDoonain) News of Jnno 15th rays : “It won’t do,” was the cheerful declaration of a load talking, active Republican at Eikhorn. to the venerable Senator Samnel Pratt, who bad oome np there tbe other day to attend tbe old settlers' festival. “It won't do, I tell yon, Uoele Sam,” said the speaker, “to try to lie ont of Grant's being drank at Genera. We all saw him drank. Half the oonntry saw him drank. If it had been a small crowd of only 200 or 300 people, we eoold have brassed it ont and lied it down, Unele Sam. Bnt there -ere thousands there who saw him, drunk—so drank that he couldn't walk straight—so drank that he had to be helped into tbe cars. There were too many of 'em saw it, Unele Sam; we cat. t lie oat of it.” Such talk in a crowd is not cal culated to help tbs President along in the good opinion of the Walworth county people who heard It. ^ Bcrc-rn fob Ggtzbnob of Maasacnrams— Ghavt Fatobs Ha AsFiaanoNS.—The Balti more San's Washington correspondent writes as follows under the above heads: Mr. George P. Sanger, appointed by the Pros ident as United States Attorney for Massachu setts, is an old and respectable counsellor of Boston. For twenty years he has edited the standard edition of the laws of theUnited Slate*, published by Little, Brown Jt Co. It is under, stood that his appointment is dne to the in fluence of General Batler and Senator Bout- well. He had alsobeen personally reootamendod by the Congressional delegation from Massa chusetts, bn: after an announcement from him that ho favored Bntler for Governor, several of them endeavored to persuade the President not to make the appointment- It is held from this circnmstanoa that the influence of the ad ministration is to be thrown in tho interest of General Bntler. If Butler should succeed In getting the regu lar nomination, it is believed from the expres sions of leading men of the State opposed to him that there will be a bolt, and another Republi can ticket pot In the field. The Boston Jour nal and ike Boston Advertiser, the leading Be publioan papers of the city, will also, it is pos itively stated, relate to snpport him. General Batler, with hie soenstomed confidence and aa- aarance, snap* bis fingers and says that he Is bound to win ; that he can lose 50,000 votes of (he regular party strength and Mill be eleoted. Macing the Ntales. The Well street brokers are aboni to sue the Old North State to collect interest on the car pet bag swindling bonds which btv. been jog. g'ed ont of that Slate. Beverdy Jjhnson sayt that the State can be sued; bnt art. If of the amendments to the Federal Constitution de clares : , “The judicial power of theUnited States shall not be oonsirued to extend to any salt in law or equity commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by citizens of another State or by citizens or'subjects of any foreign State.” It fs difficult to imagine the kind of legal leg erdemain by which this prohibition is to be cir cumvented. The fraudulent and swindling bonds which are ontstandieg against each and all of the so- termed “reconstructed States," (Mississippi ex- oepted) are the direct result of naked usurps tion by the Federal Government. That Gov ernment, In defiance of the Constitution and the reserved rights of the States, disfranchised the original citizens of these commonwealths, and made a nets citizenship; and when tbe new citizens (negroes) were found not to be In the majority, the Federal Government made thorn so by the point of the bayonet and military au thority. These Ignorant negroes, the most of whom could not distinguish A from B, were placed nominaVf in possession of snprenso legislative power in each of these States, bnt really were bnt tbe eata paws of Northern and domestic white radical adventurers of the vilest descrip tion, who, by all the arts of cajolery and bri bery manenvered and procured through their negro dopes the isau&nco of many millions and scores of millions of so-called State bonds. Bnt as tho frand was too gigaotio to bo msn- fpniated aiono by there white intriguants in the Sonth, the latter procured the oo-operation of equally shameless and corrupt allies amoDg the sharp, facile and light-fingered financial opera tors of the North. The latter acted, to some extent, the part of receivers of stolen goods vended to ontside parties so mnch of this paper as'could be sold at pricet to cover rub*, and held the balance in one form or another as prop, erty or so called collaterals, on specnlation, which would in ordinary circumstances be con sidered wholly despersto, bnt in the existing suspension of lew, and chaos and confusion of sll principles and maxims of private and pnblio jnstioe, they hoped to see folly successful. These bonds were issued for mere pretence of consideration by legislators made bo in de fiance of fundamental law—sometimes put in their seats by a sergeant and fi e of nokliera— unable to sign their names or to read—without a dollar's worth of taxable property—and these bonds sssnmed to bind the property of the tax- payers who, by violence and frand, were shot ont of all proper representation and voioe in Iho matter. These are the transactions !he so-called North Carolina bondholders sre going to enforce, con summate and perfect by snit against tbe O'd North State in tbe Federal eomts. We trn-t by the time the process is completed the ontside world will at least understand the whole mutter. “Pax”—Son Pro Pace. The writer of the article on the “Bar dinner" was not the “looal,” who was otherwise engaged, bnt one of the editors of this paper. Moreover, he distinctly stated that he did not and could not give any detailed account of the speeches made on that occasion, owing to tbe lateness of the honr and the absence of notes. In the single remark made by Mr. Johnson, which it Is olaimed had reference to Governor Smith, it is tine that the predee language was not heard; bnt that ita import (and he only pre tended to give the snbstance of what was said) is as stated, not one member of tbe bar present will gainsay. Tbs verbiage may have been dif ferent, bnt the impression created was (be same. We oharaoterizsd the speeob of the ex-Gov ernor ss able, and regretted the inability to re produce it; bnt contend that whether j-june or not in tho eyes of “Hoosier," the little reported of that speeoli was correct, with the slight ex ception above conceded. Will any one present deny it? As to tho strictures of “Pax” In reference to onr making any report at all the next morning, wo beg leave to say that “live newspapers” en deavor to make the moat of what occurs at such times, and their readers, bo among them, would be tho first to exclaim against the “lack of en terprise” evinced by any neglect In the pre mises. So far as relates to hfs inability to write ont the proceedings, after feasting to satiety upon the good things of cur generous hosts of Brown's Hotel,” the writer has only to say, that he is too well known to be classed among those addicted to tnch oonvivial excesses. His report was meant to be a simple resnme of ac tual incidents, oonpled with the reeital of a re mark or two from each orator, showing the drift and animus of the several speeches, with out claiming to be foil and particular in any instance. As snob, they were donbtless re ceived by tbeanJlenoe and the pnblio generally. Those “glaring italics” referred to by the Atlanta “aorehetd," seem to have disgruntled him not a little. Again we rise to explain. When a newspaper editor or reporter assumes to bo the ohronioler of events on any given oc casion, it la allowable, and even customary thus to give promlnecoe to salient points and telling utterances. The distinguished speaker “brought down the house” when he used tbe language attributed to him, or at least, as sll will admit, declared that in his administration “he had never deoeived any one.” It was not only right therefore, but eminently joat that this palpable hit at some body, as it seemed to be, should be recorded with proper emphasis. Besides, some eminent critics bold that italics do not add strength to any allegation, bnt are rather an emblem of weakness—tbe pure mother tongne, undressed, beiog sufficient to point every idea. This deponent did not, and does not say that onr worthy chief magistrate was tbe individnsl aimed at by tbs caustic remark of his prede cessor. Well then may Gov. Smith exclaim, save me “from my friends,'’ when they insist upon lugging him into the arena, and mixing his name with tbe convivial proceedings of a Macon “Bar dining,” when it had never been even mentioned by any of the company present. We enter onr solemn protest against any blame beirg Uid to the door of the learned end genial members of the legal profession, whose hospitality was so conspicuous on that occasion. Had tho Governor of Georgia secepted of their invitation, ho would have been received with the honors and impressment due to his iilnstri- ons position. Then whence all this pother? This mnch ado about nothing ? Tliu civil RIKtits and Enforcement Bill Embodied. Tho Louisville Ledger discovered these bills embodied In a remarkable boy who made his ap pearance at the Nashville depot Ust week, and whom it dectares Jo be one of the greatest cu riosities of the age. He is half white and half black, not In the mnlatto and miscegenation sense, bnt the lower hslf of his body is whiter than white folks nsnally are, while the upper portion was 35 black as midnight. His mother, a coal black negress, was with him, and they left cn the Nashville train at seven o clock last evening. Ho is bnt three years old, and has al ready learned to make money on: of his pecn- Uaril.es. He made several nicklea yesterday in a very few minutes. There is a round patch, sbont three inches in diameter, of perfectly beautiful hair on the top of his head, whieh is surrounded by Uttle kinky negro woo!. The boy is to be taken on to Wsshington and presented in form to Charles Stunner. He is then to be placed dally on a pedestal in the rotunda of the capital and stand there as a Uvicg embodiment of Radicalism, to prove that their schemes are not at irreconcilable war with na ture and God Almighty. A portrait of him will also be carefully painted and placed on the Bad en! standards with the motto—“in hoceigno rin- oere.” After this they will all take the 4 th cf Jnly and feel better. Investments In Colorado. Oar friend Jodge XL B. Gerry, late of the City Court of Macon, and the onliest Judge that tribunal ever had, is now a Umb of the law In Denver. CoL, and offert his services in to-day' edition in making investments in that territory for his Georgia friends. Colorado is one of those places where a thing doubles in vaine while you are writing the title deeds, and henoe a wo man never can teU or bny anything there. Ail kinds of property is like factory yarn during the late unpleasantness. It rues fifty per oent. while yon are making np your mind to give what the enss had the presumption to sak for it in the first instance. They are a fast people. Yesterday we got a pamphlet from there on which the Treasures of all sorts of colors, pictnres and letter press art in general had been lavished on tinted paper to show the glories, riches, fertfflty and healthi ness of Colorado, and every man in Colorado had lent a fieger to the pie—showing how those western people eo operate and stand np to each other in makiDg a common fortune. They don't want any body left oat in the cold without his pile, and hence what any one says the rest stand ready to swear to, like good fellows. Bnt we have no doubt Colorado is the great est place in Grant’s kingdom. And as for Den ver—Denver started with a seedling log cabin four years ago, and is now twioe as big as Ms , with parks, bonlevards, fountains, water works, opera houses, paved streets and every thing city like, cxnept they haven't got ladies enough to attract a man of taste. Hang a coun try where there are ten sharp good-looking men to one woman of dnnbtfal or hypothetical at traction!. It may be, and donbtless is, a fine plaee for the girls, bat hard on a man of donbt- fnl or failing powers. Ills living under a clond all the lime. For ail that, however, we suppose it is now the easiest place known for turning a dollar into three or f onr. Last Week’s Cotton Figures. The New York Chronicle reports the receipts of the seven days ending list Friday night, (20th instant,) at 19,672 bales against 18,245 bales last week, 25,130 bales the previous week and 30,906 bales three weeks since, making tbe total receipts since the first September, 1872, 3,475,881 bales against 2,682,296 bales for the same period of 1871-72, showing an increase sinoe September 1, 1872, of 793,585 bales. Tbe reoeipts at the interior ports for tbe same time were 3,668 bales against 1,130 for ths cor responding week of last year. The shipments were 10,830 against 2,301, and the stocks foot np 43,101 against 13,471. The Chronicle’s ta ble of visible supply foots np 2,764,123, against 2,579,612 last year and 2,563,635 in 1871, show ing an increase over last.year of 184,611 bales. Beporting the New York market for the week, the Ghroniole says; There has been very little doing in spot oot- ton the past week, a farther nominal advance having brought business almost to a standstill. On Monday low middlings of all growths were advanc'd to 19jc., and on Tuesday to 20s., where they stood down to tbe close of business to day, ordinary remaining at 14 ja. all the week, the Liverpool report has been unchanged in price end without special aotivlty. This want of response to the rise here, together with the decline in gold and higher ooean freights, have stood in tbo way of any movement on for eign account, while tho demand from spinners has fallen off materially, so that the influences supporting prices have been entirely specula tive, based epon the rednoed stocks, large short sales, end bad accounts of the growing crop. Tbe weather report of the Chronicle tells gen eral of wet and snitry weather rnl abundant grass. At New Orlesns rain everyday bntone. Same in Mobile. Belma, Macon and Golnm- bns rain more than half the week. Mercury average at Mobile 81, Macon 81, Selma 84, Montgomery 85, Oolnmbut 83 and Savannah 87. Tbe Chronicle, reviewing the general situation, ■ays It is very promising and the prospeots for a heavy crop fair. The Difference Between the Two. In a long article on Aaron Barr, the St. Louis Republican draws a comparison cn some points between him and Hamilton, which strikes ns ss one of tbo truest and fittest we have ever known made. It has been the fashion in this country ever since Hamilton’s death at Barr's hands, to exalt tbe one to the plane of a demi-god while damning the other to tbe lowest depth of scorn and infamy; bnt we think pnblio opinion is un dergoing a change in this respect. The recent revelations made by James Parton in his life of Jefferson, present Hamilton in a most despica ble light, and one that cannot fail to seriously clond the brightness of the halo with which his tory and ths tragic circumstances of his death have enoircled his name and fame. The writer in the Bspnbliosn has evidently been carefully studying the characters of the two men, and in the extract bslow has clearly set forth some of the most radical differences of disposition and personal character between them. Ho Bays: In the long list of his (Barr’s) transgressions it mnst be acknowledged that hypocrisy and meanness have no place. Had he been a hypo crite, he might have divided with Hamilton the favors and partiality of Washington. Both Barr and Hamilton had a small opinion of the man so infinitely their snperior; Barr expressed his contempt cpenly and bore tbe penalty—Hamil ton smiled, and fawned, and flittered, and reaped his reward. Nor did Barr ever stoop to stab an enemy in the back. Ho was incapable of slandering a rival in private letters or at s private dinner table; he was ready to meet him faoe to faoe and fight if necessary, bnt ho was no whisperer retailing scandals be dared not endorse. Had he believed in his heart, as Ham ilton did, that duelling was wrong, no pressure of pnblio opinion, no threats of social outlawry could have driven him to the so-called “field of honor.” Had he intrigued with Mrs. Reynolds, as Hamilton did, he wonid have gone to tbe gallows rather than publish his paramour's frailty to the world. “Any woman,” he used to ssy, “ whose arms have sheltered me is for ever sacred to me.” Ha was the gentleman even in bis nices. He sadly lacked moral principle; he did not lack moral courage. African Church Services. Bev. James Morrow, of Dublin, recently ap pointed to the charge of the “Ames Methodist Church" in New Orleans, corresponding with the Irish Evangelist, a paper published .'n Dah lia, has the following aoont “the people of color” in one of his letters: They are now deeply interested in the ques tion of education. They know that it is power. On last Sunday I attended c service in one of their churches, and heard one of them preach. After reading his text, he said, “Fit read my text again, and then I’m off.” TbeD, with a smile that was childlike and bland, he said, “1 don’t want to make yon glad twioe—glad to see me begin, and then glad to see me qnit, so I mean to be short.” He made an honest effort to explain the necessity of the atonement, and then spoke of the change which religion makes, and rose in the poetical—"In de desert we hear de hoot of de owl and de roar of de lion, de scream of de panther, and de cry of de wild fowl, bnt I hear no song dere. I hear no mnsio dere. It is all desert. Bnt Jesns comes, and we have springs in de desert, and we have flow ers. He is de shadow of de great rock in de weary land for de poor traveler. De heart of de sinner is de devil's den, bnt Jesns breaks it np wid his new threshing instrument which is de hamper of his word.” The fine confusion of images in the lest sentence did not spoil the effect. How shall I describe the singing? The words are somewhat grotesque, and foil of sur prise. Bat they are rythmical, and, like pro verbs, bear the muks of many contributors. Sometimes the melodies are weired and wonder ful in their pathos. So far as my experience goes, they are all in a minor key, and echo in their sadness the harden, of the rade rhymes. They have a marked rflection for refrains and choruses, \fhlch very frequently have no rela tion to the preceding words. Here is a solo: “De fox have hole in de ground. Da bird have nest in de air, Ebery one have a hiding place, Bat we, poor sinners, have none.” Chorus inquires—“Now ain't that bard? • rials, great tribulations. Now ain't that hari? I'm bound to leave this world.” Solo—“Meth odist, Methodist is my name, Methodist toil die; I’ll be baptized and live on the Methodist ride, and Methodist will I die.” Still the chorus in sists, “Now ain’t that hard?” Whereupon an other soloist proclaims that she is a Presbyte rian, and means to die one. Bat even to this declaration the chorns objects—“Now ain’t that At this stage another soloist urges that BY TELEGRAPH. DAT DISPATCHES. Fort it. Phillips Canal.

Washington, Jane 24 —Twelve months ago an inorease over the previous year in the cot ton area was reported in 6Tery State. An in crease over that of last year is now reported in every State. The per centage of inorease in a State as found by dividing the aggregate of in crease in oannties by tbe number reported, is, as a rale, too high, because almost always the largest portion of increase will be from counties hsviog a comparatively small acreage; bnt reckoning in the rongh way of estimating, the increase indicated is, in Virginia 23 per oent.; North Carolina and Georgia 14; South Carolina Florida 3; Alabama 9; Mississippi and Louisiana 4; Texas31; AikansaslO; sndTcn- nesse 15. This makes ths average inorease in the cotton States, reckoned in the tame way, nearly 12 per ceLt. The p» r cent, of increase reported last year was in North Carolina and Arkansas 16, Sonth Carolina 9, Georgia and Tennessee 12. Florida ■nd Mi.-I, Bippi to, Alabama and Louisiana 11, Texas 18. and tho average throughout the cot ton States approximating 13 per cent. It will be noticed that in both years Texas makes the largest relative increase. Onr reports indicato a prevalent increase in the relative amonnt of fertilizers nsed. The acreage cultivated will fall considerably bolow that planted. A cold, backward spring, cansing mnch seed to rot in the ground, a very wet May, preventing work and increasing the subsequent demand for it, and the impossibility of obtain ing anffioient labor to Bnbdne over the whole breadth sown, the excessive weeds and grass consequent npon the extraordinary wet soason, conspire to make this resnlt inevitable. Betnrns concur in plaoing the crop from two to three weeks later than nsnal. Florida reports an average condition, two per cent, above annnal average. All the others fall below. Virginia and Alabama 7 per cent.; North Carolina 15; South Carolina 12; Geor gia and Loniaiana 6; Mississippi and Arkansas 8; Texas 14, and Tennessee 10. Bnt it will be seen from the extracts below that very gener ally the weather in tbe last few days of May was favorable, and there was a hopcfnl prospect that tbe condition wonid rapidly improve. Another part of this report will show that worms and caterpillars have made an early appearance at varioo3 points, and are oansing considerable apprehension of destructive rav- *8“. ^ Virginia, from wb’.oh four counties reported the caltnre of cotton last year, reports eight this, and an increase of acreage in all except Patrick, Chesterfield and King William, in which it i3 unchanged.

The n&tnral effect on the corn market has been to create an unsettled feeling, and to depress prices, and yesteiday No. 2 com sold at 27c per bnshel, cash, which is the lowest point touched in this market for twelve years. There has been considerable feeling aroused among oper ators in corn, and charges have been made on Change and in tbe city press that the corn posted as heating was fraudulently posted for the benefit of certain parties and to the detri ment of tbe trade. A resolution was introdneed on Change to day, which under the rales lies over till Monday, providing for the appointment of a committee to investigate these charges, and if they find that there is good grounds for them, in structing the attorney or the board to ascertain it there are grounds for legal proceedings against the parties making tbe postings. hard ? — „ - _ while marching on the heavenly road—“Yon had better atop your different tunes and travel I on to God.” Bnt, nnioaehed, the irrepressible I made by the Left condemning tbe Prefect a chorns replied, “Now ain't that hard ?* etc. [ order.

Mr. Thomas, went to hold that lost and fatal parley with Captain Jack, is now in Washing ton and barely recovered from the wounds re ceived on that occasion. To the correspondent of tho Tribune ho tells the following story of the massaore: The three commissioners went into the con ference taking their lives in their hands. Frank Biddle, the interpreter, and his wife, who knew the men they went to meet, tried all means to dissuade them from going, and Mr. Meacham says that a Modoc brought word from his camp to Biddle’s squaw, warning tfcem of their dancer. Bnt even this had no effect on either General Canby or Dr. Thomas. Tbo spirit of the latter, although perhaps not that of a prac tical man well acquainted with Indian char acter, was most lolty. In response to the en treaties of Mr. Meacham, whose experience with Indians taught him that these warnings had truth in them, his reply was, in subBtance: “God will call mo at his proper time. If he desires mo to offer my life in this manner, I 6hall not withhold it." Both ho and General Canby were firm in the refasal to permit any member of tho party to carry arms, as there was a stipulation to the ccn'rary, or to allow any promises to be made to the Indians for temporary purposes that were not meant to be fulfilled. Mr. Meacham followed tho only course in honor left open to him. He conld not, as chairman of the commission, say per emptorily to two older and more distinguished men than himself, “You shall not go;” he conld not remain behind while they ventured alone into danger. He acoepted the inevitable and went. He naturally regrets, now, that he did not refuse to permit the conference, whatever might have been the oonseqneneea to himself. Tbe meeting took place in an open space, previ ously marked by the erection of a white tent, aronnd which gathered the group as closely as a oircle of frlend3 in a drawing room. The talk wont on for some time without accident or incident. Mr. Meacham, keenly on the watch, saw fall 20 minate3 before any shot was fired that tronble was brewing, and saw it in an event that would have seemed meaningless to any one nnnsed to Indian ways. He had left hiB horse untied, and had hang his coat on the saddle. Hooker Jim tied the horse, and taking the coat from Us place pnt it on, bnttoned it np carefully to the chin, and strutted before a com panion, saying: “Me old Meacham now. Think I look like* old man Meacham ?" This sudden outbreak of insolence first awakened his suspi cions. After the interval of abont 20 minutes Jack rose and moved back a little from the cir cle, with hi3 Bide to Gen. Canby and his hand in his breast. This, Mr. Meacham thinks, was tbe signal for others to draw near, as two Mo- docs came running op with goes in their hands. Seeing their approach all sprang to their feet, and Meacham cried, “Jack, what does this mean?” “Kautuxie/” All ready!”—yelled ont the Modoo chieftain, as he swung ont his arm and snapped his revolver at Gen. Canby. Then began the fight, the story of which has already been told. Mr. Meacham was Bhot by Schonchin first, who leaped at him with a revolver in one hand acd a knife glitter ing above his head in the other. He afterward became the target of nearly 20 shots, he thinks, all of which were fired at a range of less than half-a-dozen yards. By a marvelous good for tune, none of them entered the skull. As he lay stunned, the Indians had sufficient time to Btxip him of his clothing, and were attempting to get his scalp when Biddle’s squaw, who seems to have been a ready woman, cried “Sol diers 1” and the Modoca fled in fright. The scarcity of hla hair, on which he had then his first cause of congratulation, was the reason of this delay, bnt the ingenious savage, rather than lose such a trophy, wa3 evidently preparing to take the scalp from the side of toe head, by this expedient gaining the additional ornament cf an ear. The Shah of Persia, now on a visit to Eng. land, is said to be a man cf forty-five; rather good looking for an Oriental; an excellent horseman; courteous in manner; something of a Haroun al Baschid in doing acts of charity, and of a Kirg Cophetna in having married a peasant girl in a romantic freak—possibly thinking be conld afford it, she being his eighth, and the others boasting of the purest blood. With true Eastern calmness, be expresses no surprise at the novel world through whieh his travels lead him, and, if a cannon were to go off accidentally within a few inches of his royal person, be would take it as a part of tbe cere monies of the West.
