Antwerp is becoming a fine tobacco market,

'Mid golden meadows rich with clover dew J
She calls—bat he still thinks of naught but playing.
And so she smiles and waves him an adieu'
Whilst he, still merry with his flowery store.
Deems not that morn, sweet nura, returns no more.
Noon eometb—hut the boy to manhood growing, .
Heeds not the time—he sees but one sweet form,
One young.fair face from bower of jasmine glowing,
And all his loving heart with bliss is warm.
So noon, unnoticed, seeks the western shot e.
And man forgets that noon returns no more.

an hour, when the rock was declared to be

treating to the farthest part of the cave, I wait

It came, and the rocks .shook around me.
“Hurrah!” shouted those on the outside, as
the success of the experiment was announced.
I hastened to the entrance and found the top
of the rock rent off. Climbing over the remain
ing fragments, I grasped the hand of the Colo
nel, and was just going to weep tears of joy,
when he burst into a violent laugh.
“What arc yon laughing at?”
“It is so queer, I can’t help it. The idea of
your being locked up there with a dead bear!
Excuse me.”
Have your laugh. Colonel, but for my part,
I thank God to be in the daylight once more,’’
I replied.
The bear was hauled out of the cave, and we
had a fine fat steak for supper that night.

Tlie English and tlic Chinese—Items
OF SECRET HISTORY.
Contemporaneously with the exciting newa
from China, we have received from England
the Parliamentary Blue Book, containing such
portion of Lord Elgin’s correspondence as the
routine service of the foreign office chooses to
disclose. It is especially interesting in the
light it sheds on what is now going on, and
the causes of the new outbreak of war, as to
which we desire simply to say that many cf
the details of facts and most of the interpre
tations of the causes of the war had better be
received with some cautiou. No doubt our
government will soon be in possession of intel
ligencc from Mr. Ward, and until we know
something more precise, we arc very much in
clined to suspend our judgment on what is sup
posed to have occurred.
In looking over the parliamentary papers,
our attention is attracted by one or two revela
tions of the doings of last year, which are full of
significance. It will be remembered that at
Tcintsin the right of visit to Pekin was willingly
conceded to tlie Americans and Russians; and
An Adventure in the Cave of .Stars.
A correspondent of the True Map, who hail
crossed the plains, relates the following adven
ture:
While our party were resting the horses for
a day near the head waters of tlie Salmon river,
Kcnoshe, my Indian friend and myself left the
camp for an excursion among tlie mountains
which towered to the skies on either side of us.
We left the river at about ten o’clock, and at
noon we sat down in a deep gorgo to take our I that more than this tho French did not ask. It

compared with the northern railways, you may
depend on it tlie trial will be made. There is
now at this moment some want of confidence

feet, and we soon discovered a large black bear,
making towards the rocks in our rear. Of
course we followed him, for a bear-hunt is al
ways an exciting event But the rascal seemed
to have halked us, for he suddenly disappeared
among the disturbed bouldres.
“ Cave in the rocks,” said Kcnoshe. as he fas
tened his eyes upon the spot where the bear
had disappeared.
“Then, we have lost him, perhaps.”
“No lose him; follow him. ’
“I am ready; but we must be very careful.
These rocks are loose, and may fall and crush
us.”
“No fear,” said my companion.
We pushed forward over the rough ground,
and reached an aperture in the rocks, which
proved to be the entrance to a large cavern.
Wo glanced down into the deep recess, and saw
that-the darkness benertli was penetrated in
one place by a volume of rays.
“The cave is open at the other end, and the
bear will qscape us,” I remarked.
“No escape; me go to tlie other end,” replied
Kcnoshe.
I stepped into tho cave with my rifle present
ed for use, and again cautioned Kcnoshe to be
careful of the loose rocks. Poised on a pointed
foumlation by the entrance to the cave,- was a
large rock, which appeared to be ready for a
slide if but a zephyr touched it In passing
out the Indian leaped upon this roA, regardless
of my caution, and it rolled over.
A thrill of horror crept through my veins,
for I thought hc was crushed; but in a moment
.his voice was heard, and he assured me that lie
he was not hurt Then my own situation pre
sented itself in no envious light, for the rock,
in falling, had completely closed tlie entrance
to the cave, and I was a prisoner, like Sinbad,
in the sepulchre of his dead wife.
Myself and tlie bear were left alone in the
gloom, which was softened only By a few rays
from the entrance, and by the volume of light
further down. How should I get out? . Could
1 find the other ontrance? 1 bade Kcnoshe seek
for it, and I remained in feverisli anxiety while
he engaged in tlie search. If ho did not find it
my ebanaes of escaping would be small indeed,
for the united strength of twenty men would
have been insufficient to remove the rock from
its present position.
For half an hour I wilted, b-forc Kcnoshe
returned to inform me that he could find no out
let of the cave. I gave up in despair, for the
thought of fighting tlie bear in tlie darkness
was no better than sure defeat. But that was
my only hope, and 1 resolved to do my best
With my riflo ready for use, I advanced slowly

and cautiously. As yet 1 saw nothing of tlie
bear* but 1 had almost readied, behind a turn
in the cave, tlie hole through which the light
gleamed in upon me.
When I reached it, I found a small hole.in
tho top of the cave, not bigger than my hat It
was directly over my baad, and for the first time
in my life 1 observed that remarkable phenom
enon, known to miners in deep pits, of seeing
stars at mid-day. Through tlie aperture above
me I saw three bright stars in the sky. and for
this reason I gave the den the name of tlie Cave
of Stars.
I was not then in a frame of luind to give
much attention to - the phenomena, for my per
sonal safety was a consideration of higher mo
ment. I took my station under the hole, and
strained my vision to discover tlie bear in the
gloom around me. By degrees my eyes became
habituated to tho darkness. I heard a slight
motion, and penetrating the gloom in the direc
tion from whence it proceeded, I discovered the
dark form of the bear. He was not fifteen feet
from me, and taking good aim at bis eye, I fired.
A howl of rage followed tlie shot, and all was
still. The bear was dead. .
Satisfied with my success in ridding myself
of my enemy, I turned my attention again to
my own position, which seemed more hopeless
than even that of my great compeer, Sinbad. I
always regarded myself as a man of expedient®,
but there seemed not to be the slightest oppor
tunity even to try an experiment, and I return
ed to the entrance of the cave to consult with
Kcnoshe. After I had told him the bear was
dead, I asked him if Be could move the rock.
“Mo no move him; million men no move
him,” replied hc in despair.
“Go and tell Colonel Johnson my situation,
said I, feeling that in him was my only hope.
Me go—go quick,” replied he.
Mind the place, so- that you can find it
lg “Mc find it,” and I heard liis receding foot
steps as he ran to tlie camp. . , , .
I am not generally much given to indulge in
bu"-bears, but I could fancy a thousand ills
that might liavo conspired to keep me a prison
er in that mountain-dungeon till starvation
should have done its work. Suppose Kcnoshe
should not find tho place again, or in his swift
flight he should be crushed by an avalanche!
Mv companions would have searched for me in
ram in that wild region.
An hour that seemed like an ago passed by,
and I heard with a joy I cannot describe1 the
voices of my fellow-voyagers on the outside of

gave so many details—the escalade of the walls
of Teintsin bv an armed party of sailors and
marines a day or two before the treaty was ex
torted. . The’other facts appear to be"these:—
Tin the 11th of June, before the American treaty
was signed, the cominiszioners, in writing,
(their letter is in the Blue Book) gave a doubt
ful, hesitatory promise to concede the residence
at Pekin. This, for some reason never yet as
certained, was never made known to the other
plenipotentiaries. There was to be no sharing
of Lord Elgin’sglorv. On the next day, (12th)
by way of riveting this engagement, the city
was invaded. A week or ten days elapsed, and
the Chinese venturing as far asthey safely could,
signed tlie American and Russian treaties. On
the 21st, they wrote to Lord Elgin to be reliev
ed from their promise, if promise it was. Their
words were these:
“We have this day received an imperial de
cree commanding us to reconsider these propo
sitions with your excellency thoroughly and
attentively. Wc wish no evasion or delay what
soever, nor have wc any other purpose than that
whicli wc declare. The many difficulties in
volved in the concession of these points make
us apprehensive that in time to come it will be
to the disadvantage instead of to the interest of
your excellency’s nation. Wc at the same time
look forward to the dissatisfaction of the peo
ple." (Blue Book, p. 336). The English plcni-
potqntiary»did not choose to relent. 'He was
deaf even to the representation of his French
colleague. Mr. Bruce, the present minister,
then secretary of legation, was sent to the Chi
nese authorities sternly to hold them to their
bargain. Mr. Bruce had been for years colonial
secretary at llong-Kong, and we fear belongs
to that school which Lord Elgin, in a dispatch
to Lprd Malmesbury, describes as holding “the
doctrine that every Chinaman Is a knave, and
manageable only by bullying and bravado.”
What at this crisis he said or did can only be
inferred from Lord Elgin’s guarded language.
“Mr. Bruce,” lie says, (p. 344) “was perfectly
successful in the object of his vlsi^ though he
felt very sensibly the painfulncss of the position
of a negotiator who had to treat with persons
who yield nothing to reason and every thing to
fcaf.” Again, a few necks later, (p. 345) he
writes, “The concessions obtained from the Chi
nese Government, in the eves of the Chinese,
amount to a revolution, and involve the surren
der of the most cherished principles 01 the tradi
tional policy of the Chinese. They have been
extorted thus far from Hb fears.” On tlie 20tli
of June, nnder their presence, the English treaty
was signed. Aftcwards at Shanghac the poor
Chinese thus, in a letter to Lord Elgin, describes
what had been done: “When we negotiated a
treaty with your excellency at Teintsen, British
vcssels-of-war were lying in that port; thus
was the presence of an armed force a state of
excitement anil alarm, and the Areaty had to hc
signed At once without a moment's delay. De
liberation was out of the question; tho commis
sioners had no alternative hut to accept tho con
ditions forced upon them. Among them were
sonic of real injury to China, to waive which
would have been no disadvantage to your cxcel-
lency's government; but in tlie hurry of the
moment the commissioners had no opportunity
of offering your excellency a frank explanation
of them.” (Blue Book, p. 408j. This seems to
have softened Lord Elgin, for hc agreed to re
commend to his government the abandonment
of the residency and adhering merely to the
right of visit

IjS^On Friday last a freight car on the Illi
nois Railroad took fire, und while all a-blaze
was subjected to a pour bath which soon ex
tinguished the flames. A portion of. the car
and a large amount of the freight was burn
ed. Among the latter was a box marked
‘codfish,” which was so badly charred that I
on attempting to remove it, it fell to pieces,
and was found to contain two kegs of gun
powder. An Illinois editor with a dry humor
which such an event is so liable to provoke,
dosses his account of the affair with the re
mark that “ in a few minutes more the engi
ncer would have received the worst blowing
up he ever got.”
.flatters about the Capitol.
We notice several prominent branches of the
work on tills grand and iieautiful edifice, or
rather collection of edifices, to be within
hail of being finished! Of both the north and
south wings, the fronts are so nearly done as
to give a good idea of the richness and majesty
of the style, which, whilst impressing the mind
by its massiveness, please also by its cleganco
and beauty. The cornice, with’ its elaborate
capitals, will engage the admiration of the
beholdtr.
With the dome, noble work that it will
prove to he, a quite observable advance lias
been made since our last notice of it. The
heavy work of the first story seems to be mainly-
done, and tho foundations for the next tier of
columns are preparing. In the .Senate or north
wing of the Capitol, wc find the great marble
stairway in such a state of forwardness as to
make it evident that it will be ready for use by
the beginning of the next Congress. There is
no extravagance in saying that it is such a won
dcrof sumptiiousncss and grandeur that it must
be seen to be at all appreciated. Quite
handsome piece of work has just been finished
in tlie new Senate pcstoffice, consisting of a
framing for anil around the letlPr boxes. It
is built of birdseye maple, all the produce of
Pennsylvania, and finished in tlie first style.
It is perhaps the best specimen of birdseye
maple carpentry in the world. Every visitor
the Capitol should take a look ot it. The
corridor, through which you enter the Senate
on the cast front, requires but little to finish it;
the columns and pilasters appear to be all up,
and but little more than setting in a few scag-
Iiola panels is requisite there. The Senate
Chamber is yet in dishabille, but it cannot be
long before it will be carpeted and duly fur
nished for its dignified occupancy. In the
Representatives’ Hall, in tho south wing, the
concentric circles around which the desks anil
chairs of tlie members were disposed, have
been recently contracted, so as to bring the
house more within the earshot of the Speaker.
The desks and chaiis used hitherto in the new
hall ore to be dispensed with, and only sitting
accommodation.® are to be allowed tho mem
bers, differing little from flic pew scats of 11
church. This is similar to the British House of
Commons. Desks for writing are to bo placed
along the walls of the hall, which will, wc think,
have tho effect of keeping the benches in front
of the Speaker less generally filled than hereto
fore. Judging from (he instincts of members,
as developed in the past, wc arc inclined to
doubt the long continuance of the plan now
about to be trieel; the divorcement of a mem
ber from liis pen, ink and papers! will be found,
if we are not mistaken, toe severe a bereavement
ta be put up with. Nevertheless we think the
experiment should be iiiirly made, for experi
ence only can decide upon its advantages or
their opposite.—Nat. Intel-.
Anecdote or Patrick Henry.
Very many years ago an ejectment suit was
brought in Loudon county court to recover a
large and valuable tract of land called the Fry-
ingpan. It was a contest between two brothers.
Tlie defendant was called Blaze Carter;
Tho plaintiff was represented by Mr. Henry,
then in tho meridian of a fame which can never
die. During the revolution his awful voice had
echoed across the Atlantic, and shook the
British throne to the centre; and now that the
storm of war was hushed, ho was engaged in
tlie strife of tlie forum. Immense crowds filled
the court-liouse, the yard, and the streets to
witness the display of liis wonderful powers.
He was dressed in common clothing, and enter:
cd the arena calm, sclf-posscsscd, yet firm and
anxious for the contest.
The defendant’s counsel were John Marshall,
then young, but giving unmistakable proofs of
his future greatness, power,, and learning, un
surpassed by Lord Mansfield himself; Buslirod
Washington, of whom it was said that lie never
once made a bad argument in his longlife;
Edmund Randolph, once governor of Virginia,
and a distinguished member of the convention
Qf ’88, Attorney General apd Secretary of State
in the brightest, best, most glorious Adniiiiis-
(ration this country ever saw; »nd, lastly,
Thomas Swann, of Alexandria, one of the best
men of his day, respectable before the court —
'with the jury almost irresistible.
For three long, anxious, and laborious days
tlie battle raged with doubtful result. The
judges and the crowd looked on the excitin
scene with wonder and astonishment.* It wa
impossible for human foresight to see liow tlie
cause would end.
* At length Henry, walking out through the
immense throng overheard some of the yeomen
sympathizing with tlie defendant. “Poor
Blaze! 1 pity him,” was sounded in his ears
from various quarters.
This was enough. He came into court and
said to the opposing counsel, “ I will compro
mise with you.” It was done.
Such was his knowledge of human nature,
that he rationally concluded that tho jury were
composed of tho same who wished success to
the defendant, and therefore by liis manteuvre
saved the land for his client, which probably hc
would have lost entirely.

IRON HOOPS AND TIES,
FOR COTTON BALES.
Price 6 cents per pound, 25 per cent, less than
• Rope.
Any oue considering the advantages of Iron over
Hope as a material for binding cotton bales, will be
surprised that it has not been adopted long since.—
In is security against fire, there is an overwhelming
reason for its adoption.
The presses in the seaport cities have been th*
main cause of its not being generally adopted; but
noxr that objection is removed generally, and the
Orleans Press, the largest in New Orleans, gives it
the preference over rope. The Passman Iron Hoop
and Tie is the improvement of one of the proprietors,
and is adopted from the fact, that it is found, after
long experiment, to combine the greatest merits in
simplicity and facility of application of any one yet
raaae. It is so prepared as to require no change for
re-compressing. Thus obviating the only remain
ing difficulty at the seaboard cities.
The hoops arn sent of any length, from eight ot
ten feet, and a full guarantee given that neither the
Ties nor Hoops shall break. And farther, that all
cotton bound in them shall be reoeived on the same
terms, at the Orleans Press, as rope bonnd cotton.—
The weight per bale is about the same as rope, not
one pound more or less.
To show tho opinion shipmasters have of it, we
give the following, among uumerons commenda
tions we have:
The undersigned masters of vessels, haring had
cotton compressed with Passman's new Iron Hoops
and Ties, hereby recommend the same. The bales
being well compressed, and tbe buttons or hoops,
never breaking when thrown down in the ship’s
hold, or when stowed.
