The Great Southern Piano Fac
tory.—We refer with special pleasure
to the advertisement of the Great South
ern Piano Manufactory of Messrs. Win.
Kuabe & Cos., of Baltimore. This fac
tory is now one of the largest in the
world, employing three hundred and
fifty hands, and turning out over forty
instruments per week.
The Knabe Piano has, by its superior
ity, not only well nigh driven those of
Northern manufacture from the home
market, but also enjoys a large sale in
New York, Philadelphia, and throughout
the entire North and West, besides their
largely increased Southern trade They
received no less than 65 first pre
miums, among which we note those at
the fairs at New Orleans, Jackson, Mem
phis, Wilmington, Richmond, Macon,
&c., received this season. For durability
we would specially recommend them as
being made in a Southern City, with
special view to the trying changes of
Southern climate.
A Noble Benefaction.- -The Trustees,
of Louisville Medical College, (Louisville
Ky.) have created one of the most liberal
and noble benefactions ever conferred by a
public institution upon any people. The
trustees of this college have instituted
one Beneficiary Scholarship for each
Congressional District in the Southern
and surrounding States. By this means
very many poor but deserving young
men will be enabled to obtain a thorough
medical education. Any young man
wishing to take advantage of this Benefac
tion has only to write to the Representa
tive of the Congressional District in
which he resides, or to the President of
the Medical Society of his State, or to
Dr. E. S. Gaillard, Dean of the Faculty
of the Louisville Medical College,
Louisville, Ky., when he will receive
full information of all that is necessary*
for him to do to secure one cf these
Scholarships. With proper and welcome
delicacy the names of those who have
secured the Beneficiary Scholarships will
be knwn only to the Dean of the Facnlty.
It is unnecessary to commend those who
have established these noble Beneficiary
Scholarships. Their act will bring
them commendations * wherever it is
known.
Moore’s Rural New* Yorker for
October Ist—the first issue of the last
quarter, of its 21st year —is excellent in
both illustrations and reading matter, [t
comprises thirty-five separate departments
aud over twenty five engravings. Among
the latter are life like portraits, by the
best artists, of nine celebrated trotting
Horses, (including Dexter, La ly Thorn,
Mountain Boy, Ethan Allen, George
Palmer, &c.;) also, a portrait of General
Trochu, Governor of Paris, and a neat
humorous illustration of “Four Scenes in
the Life of an Emperor.” Anew and
important feature is introduced in this i
number—viz : a department -entitled I
“The Pacific Coast,” edited by the Hon. I
T. Ilart Hyatt, of California. The Rural !
also announces the accession of Mr. A. 1
S. Fuller (a popular and able author, and ;

to January). Free to all who remit $3
for next year, is, we learn, bringing ad
ditions to its large subscription from all
parts of the country. The extraordinary
success of this leading Rural, Literary
and Family Weekly is richly merited, and
it affords us pleasure to chronicle its
great prosperity. Those of our readers
wishing the Rural for 1871, or a speci
men, should address D. D. T. Moore,

NEW ORLEANS (LA) CORRESPONDENCE
OF THE BANNER OF THE SOUTH.
New Orleans, Sept., 27th, 1870.
Editors Banner of the South:
Fooled again! Here for a month I’ve
been looking for Autumn, and still Sum
mer’s simmering sun shines sullenly o’er
us. Many of our cisterns are dry, and tum
bling to pieces for want of rain. The
supply of Yankee ice has melted away;
anu the capacity of our home manufac
tory is not half equal to the demands o e
the city, especially in the presence of
Yellow Fever and a protracted Summer,
add to these discomforts the perpetual
Prussian attacks of the mosquito, aud
you may have some idea of our sufferings.
The past two days, however, poi tentmms
clouds have been hoveling above and
around us, promising au early change of
programme. Nous verrons.
Last Saturday the Sisters of Mercy
moved into their splendid new Convent,
wherein they will attend to the manage
ment of the Redemptorist Parochial
Schools for girls. This new edifice—
erected by the Redemptorist congrega
tion at a cost of SIOO,OOO, is situated on
St. Andrew near Magazine St., imme
diately opposite the elegant and spacious
St. Alphonsus Hall, which was built, it
self, only a few years ago, and was con
sidered to be of ample size for all the
children of the Parish. But so miracu
lous has been the growth of the Catholic
Domdation in this district shut the saga
cious Redemptorist Fathers themselves
have miscalculated it; and have been
obliged, recently, to tear down large and
costly school edifices—which had been
built by themselves within the past fif
teen years—to make room for stiil larger
ones.
And now, the above-mentioned St. Al
phonsus Hall is barely largo enough to
accommodate the bo}s alone of the parish,
instead of being appropriated, half to
the boys and half to the girls, as was first
designed.
Besides the two schools here named,
others have been built on adjacent blocks,
for the uses of the German and the
French children within the parish; and
at this time the daily attendance of pu
j fls therein approaches an average of
3,000 children.
With a large corps cf the most com
petent, most experienced, and, best of
all, most exemplary and conscientious
teachers in the City, it is no wonder that
scores of non-Catholies prefer paying
something to have their children trained
in these model Catholic schools, to send
ing them gratis to the godless, Public
poor schools of the State.
Notwithstanding the distui bed condi-*
tion of Europe, our venerable and va-
liant Archbishop, Napoleon J. Perche,
is preparing to start on his visit to Rome
early in October. In these days of spe
cial Providence, it will not be at all sur
prising, should the arrival in Rome of
this heroic defender of the Faith be the
signal for some very important action in
the Council in regard to defending and
preserving the integrity and independ
ence of the Papal domains.
Literature is looking up* Camp Street
has been this week refreshed by the
opening of a magnificent new Bookstore,
under the auspices of the veteran cater
er, George Ellis, the worthy successor of
that pioueer newsdealer, Morgan, of the
old Post Office building. With its long ar
ray of Stationers, Printers, Binders,
and Publishers, Camp Street is
decidedly a literary eljsium, unri
valled perhaps this side of Pater Noster
Row. So that when any of your read
ers visit this City in search of anything
in the way of books, let them proceed
right to Camp Street and they’re bound
to fii-d what they want.
While on this street let me whis
per into your editorial ear—not
by any means for publication—a little
personal hint. If you are on the look
out for curiosities, just peep into the
Times office aud notice that handsome,
contented looking gentleman at the desk.
Well, he is the man who has been mar
ried two or three times and never had
but one wife in his life—and was never
divorced either. In a word that is the
hero of last week’s golden wedding,
Henry Green, Esq. Pray don’t mention
his name in ycur paper; for he reads the
Banner regularly, and nothing is more
distasteful to him than public notoriety.
He is a man who lives in and for his
family. Would there were more like
him. . Percy Vere.
Jean Jacoby, the German Revolu
tionist. —Jean Jacoby, wfco.-,e name is
now prominent as a German democratic
leader, and who is said to have been ar
rested by order of King William, was born
at Konigsberg in 1805, studied at Berlin
and Heidelberg, and in 1830 commenced
the practice cf medicine in his native city,
where he acquired a favorable reputation
for professional ability, tie published a
political j amphlet in 1841, for which he
was sentenced (o three years’ imprisomeef,
but on appeal the sentence was annulled.
In 1848 be became one of .he leaders of
the Opposition. He was a member of the
first Parliament in Frankfort, the National
Assembly at Beilin, tho Second Chamber
in Prussia, and of the National German
Assembly. In these assemblages he spoke
only on rare and important occasions, but
displayed great activity in organizing the
Democratic party. Alter the violent dis
solution of the Parliament he retired >o
Switzerland, but upon learning that he
was accused of high treason in Germany
he surrendered himself at Konigsberg, and
was triumphantly acquitted in a trial
which lasted seven weeks and occupied the
attention of all Germany.
M. Jacoby was soon after elected to the
First Chamber cf Prussia, but dec’ined
the position and returned to his profes
sional duties His writings at this period
were mainly on current evento. At a later
period be was re-elected Deputy, and
mainuinvd the same active opposition to
the monarchical system. Io 1864 the mu
nidpnl tribunal c ndemned him to six
months’ imprisonment for language used
at an electoral meeting. This sentence,
which prevented him from entering Par
liament in 1866, was b>l owed by another
in fourteen months for the publication of
a biography of Henri Simon in 1865.

Lais ruorriig Louis Ayesteran, who

in the presence oi a large number of peo
ple. The unfortunate young man, who

succeeded in capturing her near Cayo Ro

their escape at the time ; but, subsequent

Yesterday _ veniug a court martial was
convened aud ho yem*dui prisoner was
brought before it The trifl was vc»y
brief and resulted its tho condem* atioa of
the unfortunate young man. The next
m tnrng was appointed for the execution.
After the sentence of death was passed
on A>esteran he was piac. and in tho Capeih.
In B e morning there was a hurrying to
and fro of the men detailed irem the dis
ferent volunteer regiments who had been
dispatched to be present at tie execution.
Atanearly hour large numbers of people be
sran to assemble near Castillo del Principe,
the scene where the execution was to take
place. The most perfect order was main
tained. An unusual stillness was notice
able; for to many of that large crowd of
spectators the youDg m m was well and
favorably known. Sympathy was ex
pressed in many instances that one so
young and possessed of so many good
qualities should have to die so ignominious
a death. At length the youthful victim
appeared, guarded by the military. He
was calm and walked with a firm step-
His serene and undaunted bearing won
the admiration of nearly all in that vast
crowd. Such heroism was not looked for,
and it had a visible effect on the specta
tors. He took his position on the tatal
spot without the slightest tremor. Not a
nerve exhibited agitation, aad with a smile
on his face he was executed.
Now when the deed was over many of
the Spaniards regretted the execution.
The following eompanico3 of Ayesteran,
who escaped to Cayo Romano previous to
the captnre of the sloop Guanahani, have
probably been captured: Edward Torres,
A. Abrahams, Vicente Perez. J. Milian,
Mariano Danine and William Jameson.
The New bwetlisli Singer.
The musical critic of the New York
Tribune thus discourseth on the merits of
the new Swedish nightingale, who makes
her appearance a3 wearing the mantle of
Jenny Lind :
A second hearing of Mdlle. Nilsson last
night showed us no reason substantially to
modify the opinion which, with the en
thusiasm of cur first impressions, we ex
pressed on Tuesday morning. Her voice
is something so strangely beautiful that
we never think of comparing it with that
of any other prima donna. Wc have heard
greater artists —Grisi. for instance, and
Parepa, and both the Pattis, all Jof whom
are superior to Nilsson, not only in the ac
complishments of art, but in some of the
gifts of nature —yet it does not occur to
us to measure Nilsson’s merits of theirs,
for the difference between her and them is
one nut so much of degree as of kind. The
fair young Swede, with deficiencies that
are obvious to the least experienced critic,
ha3 come to us like anew experience,
and by the witchery of her-wonderful
tones has taken us ail captive. No other
phrase so well expresses the eharasteristie
of her voice as absolute purity ; no other
word so well denotes the peculiarity of her
style as delicacy—a delicacy carried some
times to the cxrent of a fault, but aceord
! ed so well with her sweet face, her pretty
! figure, and her graceful manner, that in
the concert room it is almost always de
lightful, and on the stage it must
be irresistible. We say that she
carries do ieaey sometimes to the point
of a fault ; and this* is because it
is a delicacy of style rather than
of feeling, aud the tenderness (or, to be
more accurate, the expression) which she
throws inio such songs as Handel’s “An
gels ever Bright and Fair,” is rather a
j musical exercise than an impulse of the
j heart, lone is riot ia the true sense of the
| word a sympathetic singer ; she is not one
: who can easily move an audience to tears,
jas many inferior artists can. Miss Cary
| is such a singer to some extent ; Adelaide
; Phillipps aud Zolda B(gu : n possess t ! e
| glfc in a much higher degree ; Minnie
rlauck probably will have it as she grows
older —perhaps bas it already. Yet Nil
son moves our sentiments by the
perfection of her notes, just as sensitive
persons are sometimes profoundly touched
by beauties of inanhuate nature. One
part of her performance lest night for in
stance, a mere co’d and meaningless piece
of art, was so perfectly polished as to be
absolutely affecting. It was that passage
in the Spargi di qualche pianto from
“Lucia” where the voice carries on a
florid and difficult dust with the flute.
The wonders ul purity and sweetness of her
tones were here submitted to a terrible
test, made all the more severe in this in
stance by the clearness and excellence with
which the flute was plaved : and at the
rd her triumph itustd the audience to
n ore exciting demonstrations thau any
she had previously awakened. It was a
striking instance of the power of pure art
and pure voice to move the feelings.
The Pope. Ci.nchino.ti, September 25.
—The Enquirer s New York special states
that the Roman Catholic* of that city
have been Drof;undly moved by the recent
events in Italy. At a meeting to-day of
wealthy men a: and r run incut ecclesiastics,
the fuibwb private dispatch, from an
American Bishop, wa- read:
“Rome September 22. —Continue in the
good woik The future is dark. loan
interview ' i:h Antonclli today, he said
that it was • osiolo to remain here. Tee
council lit- . dissolved, but a large
cutiibu* id - c members will remain till a
programme his teen decided upon.”
Toe taction in fuvor of abandoning the
temporal power is daily gaining ground,
and its formal renunciation may be render
ed aU*!ute!y necessary by events. Should
this be so, it is highly probable that His
Holiness will take refuge in the United
States. He er.r iesses fears, however, in
spite of assurances, that his presence
wou and icad to excitement and trouble. Ills
resignation is touching.
After the reading of the di-patch a
few remarks were made, in which ir wun
admitted to tvoid trouble, it would be
necessary, should the Holy Father rake
up his residence here, to act with extreme
‘ caution to prevent needless alarm amonu
he Don-Catholic sects. Highly encour
aging reports from and fferent sections of the
iountry were read. Already four million
)f dollars were pledged, and there would be
10 difficulty in raping the fifteen millions
proposed, should His Holiness decide to
jome. This is the good work alluded to in
:he dispatch.
St. Paul of the Cross.
Elail, Man of God 1 Spouse of the Cruci
fied !
Whose home was ever in the wounded
side.
Gentle and sweet to others, to self alone
severe;
Prompt over human woe to shed a pity
ing tear.
Lowly in word and mien; pure as the
Alpine snow ;
Chastity’s fragrant grace beamed from thy
virgin blow.
A Gospel torch wert thou—a living
flame—
Burning on wayward hearts the Crosses’
shame.
Christlike thou wert, sharing His pitiful
might,
Quickening the dormant limb, giving th c
dark orb light,
Healing the bruised heart, filling the sad
with hope,
Cleansing the sun-stained soul, erst black
as the Ethiope.
Tears were thy daily bread, tears at the
piercing sight,
Christ in ills wondrous love, bleeding ou
Calvary’s height.
Fighting the goodly fight, wearied aud
spent in the fray;
Calm fell the shades of night o’er the close
of thy life’s long day.
Mary, our gracious Queen, bent o'er thy
couch of death,
And victory’s glorious sheen circled thy
parting breath.
Bright as a star, thy soul rose to the feet
of God,
Those feet which in ages past, over Judea
trod.
Shine ou us, holiebt star—shine from thy
far off' throne !
We are thy children true —Father, re
member thine own!
Rudely the north wind blows, fiercely the
sun doth glare
Over thy chosen vine, flowers aud fruits
are rare.
Seed us a gracious rain, silent and soft
let it fall;
Soft bid tho south wind blow, scatter the
foes from our wall.
Come in to the garden, sire—the flowers
shall rejoice in our laud,
Pruned by thy mindful care, kept by thy
lovmg hand.
There let the violet blue—type of the
lowly heart—
Twine with the lily fair, never to grow
apart.
Sprinkle tho shamrock green with Iler
mon’s glisteuing dew;
Bid Sharon’s kingly glow each lading
rose renew.
Thus shall thy flowerets grow, the state
liest with the least,
Then cull them one by one, to deck the
bridegroom’s feast.
Poverty of the Imperial Family.—
The London limes in an article designed
to refute the stories of Imperial profligacy
and acquisition in circulation, says the im
perial family spent in France all they ever
received from France, and that Napoleon
will leave Wilheimshoe as poor as in
1848. For hjm-clf, says the writer, he
' as only the cottage which his mother.
Queen Hortense, bequeathed him. The
Empress has only her private jewels and
ner hereditary estate in Spain. The
Prince Imperial has a house, which wai
bequeathed to him, near Trieste.
