THE M INI VC S VISION'.
BY MAJOR G. W. PATTBX, UNITED STATES ARMY.
Tbev sav I’m mad, because I try
With sheU'S to calm my brain;
And when I dance, 1 know riot why,
They bind tue with a chain;
Avaunt! halloo! I if V. be gay,
Grief counts but little worth—
Since I have wept my teat s away,
What is there left but mirth!
Bring me companions! Ant I mad ?
No wonder 1 should rave;
They took the ouly one I had
And hid her—in a grave.
And I’m kept here— a merry thing—
Wherefore full well 1 know ;
—Ha! ha!—because I laugh and sing,
They will not let me go.
I saw the moon come down last night
And dance upon the sea,
Go, catch her ere she takes to flight,
And bar her up with tue.
The sun they say, at rise of day,
Did what he should not do;
He smiled —and made the hills look gay;
—Let him be prisoned too.
And vonder star is quite a sbad—
Run, seize it ere ii fly ;
We'll dance together —all are mad—
jtun, moon and star and I!
Look! ho! aside my tellers cast!
That image!—loose my chain—
’Tis she! she’s there —help! hold her fast!
—Ha! ha! she’s mine again.
Fort Miller, Cal., Nov. 1852.

Escape from a Tiger.— An English paper describes
the following exciting incident:
“On the evening of Christmas day. as a young wo
man was carelessly gazing at a leopard in Batty s men
agerie, now exhibiting at Huddersfield, she sauntered
within the reach of he tiger s den, when one of the fe
rocious anim .is thrust forth one of its paws through
the wires, a id seized her hv the coil of platted hair be
hind the crown ot her head'. Fortunately a woman, of
slender frame, but of heroic fortitude, was standing by,
and saw the tiger seize its intended prey. This woman,
with extraordinary presence of mind, seized the girl by
the waist, and, notwithstanding the terrific growling of
the beast, maintained her bold and pulled with mascu
line vigor. The n-er retained its grasp, and
“At this moment the struggle was a fearful one. The
people inside the menagerie set up shouts of alarm,
which communicated with the crowd outside, and pro
duced a scene which may be better imagined than de
scribed. At length the comb dropped from her hair, the
coil unfurled and the young woman was rescued, leav
ing the tiger’s paw full of her hair and a silk handker
chief which she had thrown over her head when the
tiger seized her. The unfortunate girl fainted, but
soon recovered again, and, we are happy to add, with
out having sustained any injury beyond the fright and
loss of about a handful of hair. —Lee Is laceilgeneer.
Lire in the Tropics —Mr. Butler, a pleasant lectu’
reron entomology, in a lecture delivered at Louisville;
thus describes some of the luxuries of the torrid zone*
“ The bete rouge lays the foundation of a tremendous
nicer. In a moment you are covered with ticks. Chi
goes bury themselves in Tour flesh, and hatch a colony
of voung chigoes in a few hours. They will not live
together, but every ehigoe sets up a separate ulcer, and
has his own private portion of pus. Flies get entry in
to y our month, into your eyes, into your nose; yo t eat
flies, drink flies, and breathe flies Lizards, cockroach
es, and snakes get into your bet!; ants eat up the
books; scorpions sting you on the feet. Every thing
bites, stings, or bruises; every second of your existence
vou are wounded by some piece of animal life that no
body has ever seen before exeept Swammerdam and
Meriam. An insect with eleven legs is swimming in
your tea-cup, a nondescript with nine wing* is strvg
gling in the small beer, or a catepilUr with several doz
en eyes in his belly is hastening over the bread and
butter! AH nature is alive, ana seems to be gathering
all her entomological hosts to eat you up as you are
standing, out of your coat, waistcoat, and breeches.—
Such ary the tropics. All this reconciles us to our dews,
fogs, vajtors, drizzle—to our a{H*thecaries rushing about
with gargles and tinctures —to our old,
tutioual coughs, sore throats, and swelled faces.’
Forty-Seven. —Wo find the following in an English
newspaper, and submit it to the curious inspection of
those who are inclined to be superstitious on the sub

It is now 47 years since Nelson fought at the battle
of Trafalgar; 47 years was the age of Nelson at the
time; 4.’ years of age was Wellington at Waterloo; 47
years of age wa< Bonaparte whom he defeated ; 47 years
were completed last year since Napoleon the First was
crowned Emperor; 47 years i-* the age of Napoleon the
Third, who this year is made Emperor.
We may add to the above—we hope without fright

Eloquent Extract.— The following fccuniifttl cotn-j
jouisoti i- from a lecture recently delivered at iSt. Louis t
by T. F. Me.ighcr.
One !a r morning, towards the close of this summer,
I stood in a lielu that overlooked the Hudson. I was
struck with the glowing ripet e.-s of the fruit which
waved a:curd me, and broke into an expressitm of de
light. 1’ scuttled to me the most glorious i had seen in
uuv clime—the most glorious the earth could bring
forth. b
“ That seed, ’ said one who stood bv, “ came from
I Egypt.”
j It had been buried in t'le tombs of Kings—had lain
with the dead for three thousand years. But though
! wrapped in ;he shroud, and locked within the pyramids,
■it died not. It lived in the silence—lived in thedaik
! ness - lived under the mighty mass of atone—lived with
j death itself and now that the dust of the Kings has
1 been disturbed—that they have been called and moved
; not —that the bandages have been removed, and they
j open not the.r eyes —behold the seed gives forth life,
and the fields rejoice in its glory.
And thus it is, that the energies, the in line’ -, the
faith, and the vitalities which have been crushed elsc
, whe.e —ita.c beet; ento nbed elsewhere - in these virgin
j soils revive, and that which seemed mortal becomes
j iiiifterishabie. And thus it is, that reviving here, the
| seed will multiply, and borne back to the ancient land,
; will pent>le the places that are desolate; the wilderness
j shall be made glad.
j Children of the world be of good cheer!
Whilst in th • homes—by the Rhine, the Seine, the
Danube, and the Arno, t te Sha mon and the Suit - —in
j the homes you have left, th s wicked seem to prosper,
,i and the spurious Senates provide for lie offspring of
i the tyrant, even :o be thi and and fourth geaerution!—
Freedom strengthens herself in thess lands, and iu the
I tnids of countless hosts, concentrates the power by
j which ihe captive shall be redeemed, and evil lords de-
I throned.
j This shall be the glory of America!
A Novel Manufactory. —We find the following cu
rious description of the manner in which ladies’ mutt's
are manufactured iu London, in a magazine before us.
The “ ritergives the following as the manner in which
the “ nibbing” process of the skins used for ladies’
mutfs, boas, Ac., is conducted:
The workmen are ranged in tubs along the sides of an
apartment or shed, or any kind of outhouse, in a yard,
O! some secluded spot in London. Every tubber, with
.he exception of those who may be unwell, and who
may then wear a loose jacket, which, however, tells
against the efficiency of his work—is altogether naked!
Tiie tub in which the man works, reaches to his w aist,
and a thick yellowish cloth is thrown over its top, which
the workman keeps, every now and then, gathering
about him, and which he can draw about him like a
bug, so that while at his labor, the upper part of his
body alone is visible. To a stranger, the effect of a
visit to such a workshop, to which it is not easy to gain
admittance, is startling. Pale, brown, and hirsute men
move up and down iu their tubs, stamping and alterna
ting their feet with little cessation ; sometimes in si
lence, and iu many cases little or no expression in their
faces. Each of these men arc “ tubbing,” that is, be is
treading or stomping, first upon one foot and then on
the other, oil ski :s which are the complements of his
tub-. These skins are for the supply of furriers who
employ the master akin dressers. There is no water or
other fluid u.-ed in tubbing, but the fleshy part of the
skin.-> are all buiiered, amt with the cheapest butter or
scrapings, audio some places rancid butter, when such
things are purchasable in sullicient quantity. Saw
dust is u-si, which gives the butter a firmer tread, and
tends oaid, by its friction, iu scouring the skin. Ujion
these tubbed skins, so prepared, ihe men tread mr ..
long time—and the perspiration which sometimes
jH>urs from them is considered better and readier fin
the cure of the skin’ than any butter or other fatty com
pound, which are looked upon as merely auxiliary to
what oozes from the workmen's body. And iu this
way men's sweat is forced for hours together into the
skinny part of the furs which are to be ladies’ mutfs,
boas and tippets.
Inside of a Chinese House.
Iu a book recently published by Mrs. Eliza J. G.
Bugeinaa, who went out to China as a missionary, we
have the account of a visit to Mis Pwan, the lady of
Pawn Tiugkwa, who, we are told, is a “salt merchant
of wealth, and somewhat favorable to foreigners
“Pwan Tingkwa is employed in the service of the
government ; this gives hnn some distinction. He has
ten wives. The lady of the house or 4 number out
wife,’ did not make her appearance until a little time
had elapsed. At length she entered the room and the
others gave place, while she received her visitors, and
refused to take her seat until every one of her guests
were seated tshe was a beautiful young creature, not
over twenty-one years of age. Her hair was arranged
iu them U.uoJ til-tf tilt mnni.ur, <uu| iutaßied l! tl
ei>, pearls and other ornaments. She was attired in a
simple uress of glass cloth, tight ab ut the throat, with
large sleeves, exposing a beautiful hand, and wrist full
oi bracelets. Liideiueath her grass cloth tunic she
wore sui embroidered skirt that nearly concealed her
tittle tee. . Her maimers were graceful and elegant. To
the remarks of the ladies, (.her visitors; sie resinxideii
courteously, never allowing herself to sit while any ot
the ladies were standing.
“ Tea w as served in small cups with covers, but with
out milk or sugar. S.xm after this we were invited in
t> another department. Mrs. Pwan, our lady host,
took Mis. Parker by the hand and led the way, while
s.weial otiier of Mr. Pwan Tingkwu's laities attended
to ihe rest of us, and we followed ; the company of re
latives, nurses, servants and children succeeded, all
eager to satisfy their curiosity by gazing at us. A re
past was prepared, consisting of jellies, truits, nuts etc.,
which in the east is called uflin; the Chinese call it a
bit for the heart. It was easy to distinguish the lady of
the house; she moved us to he seated, while she presi
ded, the others standing, and the servants tanning us
while we partook of the delicacies. According to Chi
nese etiquette, Mrs. Pwan passed some fruit or jelly on
her to’kor on her chop-slick to each lady, and we
would return ‘hecompliment, she rising very graceful
ly and receiving it; they even go so tkr as to put it in
to your mouth.
“Tiffin being finished, we repaired to her private
bed-room. It was furnished with a mirror, bureau,
bedstead with mattrass, the bed-clothes neatly laid in
lolds and put aside in the back part of the bed. We
vi... u accompanying
ils, through the different apartments of this spacious
budding still unfinished. The carring was elegant.—
The rooms were furnished with divans, centre-tables,
mirror’ and chandeliers. Tile ceilings were beautifully
painted w ith birds and flowers. A gallery was appro
priated to the i ngso-tg (theatre.)
“ Li going down the stair-case, we passed the room
where ‘ his excellency’ and guests —the gentlemen who
accompanied us—were regaling themselves with re
freshments; they could not help turning their heads to
catch a glimpse of the fair Chinese ladies. At lengdt
the time arrived for us to leave; the females of the
house, one all, retired to the inner apartments, and the
gentlemen conducted us to our sedans. On returning
home, we suffered our faces to be exposed, and gazers
were not a few, eagerly striving to get a jteep at the
fdu quipo, or foreign devil's wives, as they stigmatized
us.
“ I could not learn that one in Pwan Tingkwa’s
household knew how to read iu her own language, and
as to their employments, much time is spent at the toil
et —embroidery perhaps occupy a part, and then the
amusements of the theatre, and others equally frivo
lous fill up the rest Not many months after this visit,
I heard of the death of Mrs. Pwan, and also learned
that her hu.-band was never pleased with her. I re
member one of our company once sisked him how he
passed his time ? He replied, his wives were all over
his house, and he amused himself with them.”
How the Approach of an Earthquake may be
Known. —The recent occurrence of Earthquakes in
Cuba and elsewhere, has thrown around these terrific
natural phenomena an immediate and personal interest.
Hitherto no means have been pointed out tor indicating
the- approach of au Earthquake, as we, by means of the
barometer, derive indication of the approach of a storm.
This desideratum would, however, now ajqiear to have
been supplied. 41. Rati-Menton, a gentleman connect
ed win tin* Ftench diplomatic corps in the Argentine
republic, has recently communicated to the Paris Acade
my of Sciences, by a letter addressed to the French
Minister of Foreign Affairs, a sure means of learning
| the approach of an Earthquake. According to this
gentleman, the Earthquake indicator is nothing more
than a magnet, to which is suspended, by magnetic a'-
traction, a little fragment of iron. Shortly before the
occurrence of an Earthquake, the magnet temporarily
j ( s s its power, and hence the iron fdls. Acco.ding to
M. Ra’.i-.'lenton, the accuracy of this indicative sign
has been thoroughly tested by a highly-educated Ai
gentine officer. Cob Espinosa, during a residence ol
maiiv t ears at Ariquipa—a region where Ear hquakes
are verv frequent, ludejicndently of the authority ol
the cuaumiinicatioa, arising from the respectability of
its communicator, and from its Lc'ng published in the
transactions of the Lre.icii Academy of Sciences, the
result is nothing more than might have been suspected,
from theoretical considerations ol’ the alliance bet wren
electricity and magnetism. A disturbance of electric
power has long been known to be associated with Earth
quakes. — L’■change.
Xkw Yo :k Extravagance.- -Hon. John A. Dix, in
a recent lecu. e before the Historical Society, made the
following very just remarks:
Nothing can lie more unwise than the erection of cost
lr dwellings, which can only be main aiued by princely
for tunes. At the death of the head of the family, and
the division of the ancestral properly, no one of the chil
dren, as a general rule, has enough 10 support the estab
bailment, and it passes into other hands. Nothing can
be more cruel to children than to bring them up with
expectations which cannot be fulfilled, and with nabi s
of life which they are compelled to abandon. The pa
rent, for the sake of a few years ot ostentation, invests
a large portion of his estate iu a splendid dwelling, with,
the certainty that his death will be the signal for the ex
pulsion of his children from it Nothing ran be more
inconsiderate if it is done without reflection, or more
unfeeling, if it is done with a full view of the inevitable
consequences Look for the splendid mansions of thir
ty years ago, and see what has become of them. Scarce
ly one remains in the family by which it was construe -
ed. They ore boarding-houses, places of public esh.-
bition, or the work-shop*of fashion.

A SONG OF THE PRESS.
Written on hearing a Friend called “ lulented, for a
mere Type-Setter.”
“ A mere type-setter!” still a man
The world, perchance, may yet revere;
Unknown, unnoted, one who can
Have nought to hope and nought to fear.
Yet, where’s the kingly sceptred hand,
1 he brow that bears a pnricelv gem,
That wields so well a wide command—
Whose “ stick” may match a a diadem ?
“ A mere type-setter ?” Let us see,
Who gave the glorious stripes to air
That mark the banners of the free,
And bound the stars that glimmer there?
Who turned the bolt of heaven aside,
And conquered its etherial fire?
Who bade the lightning harmless glide
Along his magic wand of wire?
“ A mere type-setter!” Search the past,
The records of each battle field;
Who nailed our colors to the mast,
And died because they would not yield ?
Who taught our hand to strike the blow,
Trough toil, and danger, aud distress,
That severed England’s chains of woe—
Who, but the masters of the Press.
‘‘ A mere type-setter!” Name of fear,
To bid the slave to freedom wake—
That tyranny shall quake to hear,
And old oppression’s Empire shake!
Is Franklin a forgotten name—
That man no longer may revere ?
Has Prentice lost lus soul of flame,
Or Greely dropped his pen of fear V
“ A mere type-setter ?” Honored name,
That ages j et unborn shall bless,
When empires crumble, aud their fame
Has sunk in worse than nothingness.
Show me the thing whose leers aeride
The mere “type setter’s” humble school,
And I’ll show you an tine of pride,
A brainless, or a dandy fool!
A Scene and Dialogue.
At a boarding-house in the city, the other evening,
a gentleman sitting in one room heard the following
conrersazione in an adjoining one. The interlocutors
were two stout, ruddy, homespun dressed individuals—
young ones—who had just come down from the coun
try. Both entered their apartment together, treading
heavily, and, as it appeared, clinging to each other for
support. From their voice it was evident they were
■lightly under the influence of the intoxicating medium.
“ Where's the candle, Bill ?”
“ There it is.”
“Where?”
“ Right before vou.”
“ D’you see it ?’’
“No. Don’t j’ou?”
“ No. I don’t believe there ever was a candle in this
room—hie!”
A few muttered oaths followed, and presently each
man groped his wav into a bed. Silence ensued.
“ I say, Bill ?” *
“ Wliat d’you want ?”
“ This is a of a place, n’ant it ?”
“ Well, it a’ant nothing else.”
“ We’ve been here eleven days, aud got drunk three
days.”
“No, we have’ntl”
“ I tell you we have.”
“ No, Sam. I tell you we’ve been here three days,
and got drunk eleven times? Tlmts it.”
“ What would my dad say if he knew it?”
“ And the Deacon !”
“ Jeewhilikins!”
Here there was an awlul pause. The Deacon stump
ed them.
“ I sav, Bill!”
“ Well!”
“ This it a of a place, a’ant it ?”
“There an’ant no such place this side c’ crcatiou,
Sam. And I don’t believe there ever was a caudle in
this room either. That’s my opinion.”
“They eat such queer things”
“ I chawed up that red-backed, red-legged feller,
bones and all, but his claws is scratching my sides out.”
x “ That big oyster wants to get out and he can’t.
Here a a couple of deep groans followed. The two
heroes was suffering from the effects of a lobster and
oyster supper. The groans rapidly increased, and
other results ensued which a dainty pen would blush
to relate After awhile a voice announced the end of
the tragedy with—
“ I say, Bill!”
“ Weil, Sam?”
“ I got the claws out.”
“ That oyster a’ant nowhere now.”
A long pause.
“I sav, Bill!”
“Well, Sam?”
“ This is a of a place, a’ant it ??’
“ Sam, don’t bother me ’’
Another pause. Our friend was falling into a .oza,
when again the voice aroused him.
“ I sav, Bill!”
“ Well, Sam ?”
“ What would dad sav if he was to bear it?”
“And the Deacon!”
“Bill!”—after another pause—“let’s go home to
morrow ?”
“ Agreed?”
A Devilisii Good Toast. —At a typographical fosti.
val held at Columbus, Ohio, on the 17th oft., Mr. Har.
1 is, of the Ohio Oulti mtor, gave the following toast :
u Tie Printer's Devil.—Hamden, if kept in liis
place.”
And, suiting the action to the word, be poured the
contents of his goblet into an old shoe.
At the celebration of the Anniversary of Franklin’s
Birth-day, at Buffalo, N. Y., on the 17th nit., Mi Le
vii-n of the Commercial, offered the following senti
ment :
Printer's IHets.—May they always have plenty es
small caps for the heads of their little original articles.”
The bold-faced scamp, to drink such a toast.
The “influedza” is raging badly in New York.
Everybody is affected, everybody coughing and sneez
ing. The Democrat man witnessed a scone at the the
atre:
Wice Young Man —(entering a nice young lady’s box)
Good evening, Biss Jedkins —Ah chough ! ah chough !
Young Lady —Ah, Bister Browd, I sib buch pleased
to see you. How do you like Bister Beader’s aew op
ewa to-night ?— Ah cheese ! ah cheese !
Nice young Man —(blowing his nose) —It is divide,
the busic is splendid and the seedery grad ; Biss Rich
ig< sings like a dightengale. But I have such a shockid
cold that I caddot enjoy it adything like I wad to — Ah
chough 1 ah chough !
Fating Lulu —Ah cheese! — Yes—ah cheese — l have
had the sabe dow for all the obdtb, ad by dose iz— ah
cheese !
Nice Young Mun —So is bide— ah chough !
Here both applied their handkerchiefs to their nose 9
and blew great guns till they were very red in the face.
We left to put our feet in hot water, tallow our nose
and go to bed in a basin of hot grnel, will “something”
in it.
Progress of the Age.—The following notice ap
pears under the marriage head of the Gardiner (Me,)
Transcript:
“ We, the undersigned, have pledged ourselves to
each other for lite, or as long as we can live in harmony,
and now sustain the conjugal relations. This we do
without couforming to the laws aud customs of this na
tion in regard to marriage, believing it to be an affair
exclusively our own, and that no others, whether of
friends, Church or State, have aught to do or say in the
matter.
“We deem it necessary to give this notice, that our
friends and the public may know of our union, that wa
may not be exposed to slander.
Bknj. F. .Shaw,
Harriet N. Howard.”
A critic thus describes the difference between
Alboni and Sontag in four lines:
The only difference, beyond doubt,
’Twixt Sontag and Alboni,
Is that the one eats soui-krout,
The other maccatoni.

the Mobile Advertiser, is the copy of a bill sent in to a
man some time since :

Can any of our readers intrepret it ? At first tie took

when the key was given to us, to fiud the above inscru

“ A horse half a day, ” and “a taking if him home

Real Estate in New-York.—The New-York Ex
press publishes the following item, in illustration of the
value of real estate in certain parts of that city. The
lessee in the case here referred to is, we believe, a citi
zen of Baltimore:
The property at the corner of Broadway and Fulton
street, noticed a short time since as having been leased
for 21 years at the rate of $14,300 per annum, with a
forfeiture of the improvements at the end of ihe lease,
eo9ting at least £30,000, was esteemed an enormous rate.
The improvements have been planned, and leases gran
ted on various apartments, yielding a rental of £32,000,
and several rooms are yet unlet. The property, it is ex
pected, will yield a net income of £20,000 per annum to
the lessors.
Au old bachelor says women are so fond of ap
‘ pearances, that if you could make them believe there are
i no looking glasses iu Heaven, they would set no more
value on salvation than they do ou a poor relative. Siu-
Igular how age sours people.
JJjS” “You should never let the young men kiss you,”
said a veneiable uncle to his pretty niece. “I know it,
uncle,” she returned, penitently, “and yet I try to cul-
Itivate a spirit of forgiveness, seeing that, when one baa
been kissed, there * no undoing if.’
