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 ; late one of die editors of the Hearth and ! Home), to its already superior editorial staff. The offer of the Rural for the thirteen weeks of this quarter (October 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, 41, Park Row, New York.

It is evidently, as it surely do-’ serves to be, a successful paper. - 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. Cub.T. Capture , Trial and Execution of the Young Cuban Rat riot Luts Ayesteran-How He Was Made Dr iso ner Summary Trial—lndecent Haste—lD Dies Nobly Regret of the Spaniards After the Execution Havana,. Sept. 24, 1870. Lais ruorriig Louis Ayesteran, who served recently as the Cuban representa tive iu New York, was garroted m public in the presence oi a large number of peo ple. The unfortunate young man, who has paid with his life the penalty oi his patriotism, wasonl, twenty-four years of age. lie was a member of the Cuban House of lleresentatives, besides being an active ends: ary of Cospedes. He was aiso related to some of the most prominent families iu Havana, who tried every means in their power to save him, but without j. 4 v & i 1 • On the 7th icst. Lewis Ayesteran, with his companions, roubukeu on board the sioep Guanahani\ having ou board a small quantity of arms, intended for the- insur gents. On the 14th a Spanish v ssel hove in sight, and, bearing down on the sloop, succeeded in capturing her near Cayo Ro mano. Those on board, however, made their escape at the time ; but, subsequent ly dyesierstn was caj Lured and was brought to Havana a prisoner ou beard the gub oa t Con tin el a.. 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. McMahon at Sedan. — A Sedan letter of the Bth says: “McMahon is here, very badly but not mortally wounded, ar.d a prisoner. 110 is one of those who would not give their parole not to serve against Prussia during the present war.
