Spoken by Master John Aldehof. at 2fa I sonic Insti>st*s. Chattanooja , Tenn., I Oct. I 2U, 1870. The electric wires have just sent through the length an<l bvoadth of the laud the startling and sad intelligence that Eobert E. Loo, tlio hero and idol of tho South, is no more. The death of no other man could produco such universal and wide-spread sorrow, and call forth a nation s wail to tho same extent. Every Southern city is wrap ped iu mourning, their citizens every where have met iu solemn council to give expression to the universal and hoart-folt sorrow caused by this sad event. It would be difficult to find in any country a man who combined within himself all tho attributes that constitute such a man as liobort E. Lee : a sincere Christian, a brave sol dier, a brilliant chieftain, a chivalrous gentleman, a good and true man. Whore could wo find a man uniting all tho gentlo and endearing qualities that charm and enliven domestic life with the dauntless spirit of tho hero of bloody battles ? 'Tis true tho cause for which ho drew his sword was lost; but no high toned man among his enemies xvould ever have honored him had he fought against his native State, against his . own neighbors and kindred. In a let -1 ter to his sister ho regretted that the ! paramount allegiance which he oxvod jto his native State would permit him ino othor course. And he was right: | tho esteem and aifoction which every Southern man, and largo numbers of his late enemies, feel for this groat and good man, testify to tho general approval and admiration of his prin ciples and deportment. It is well that amidst the genoral corruption and sordidness of tho age, thero should arise, at raro and distant intervals, such men as R. E. Lee, to show to the world a peifect model of a man in his more perfect state —a model of imitation which all young men should constantly keep before their eyos. Washington, iu his time, had his enemies and defamers who denied his merits; Andrew Jackson xvas said by many to be a tyrant; Winfield fecott, though brave, was vain and pomp ous; Jelfersou Davis, too, is thought by many to liavo done, by his unfitties?:# as much as any one to have brought the Southern cause to defeat and ru- iu ; yet, though contemporaneous his tory is rarely just to any man, who has thus far found any blemish in the character of Lee ? what honorable foe has questioned his honor or his mo tives ? Peace be to tbe ashes of this great aul noble man ’ generations yet un born will point to him as the brightest star iu the tirmanent of American he roes—the symbol of all that is good and true, noble and chivalrous in man. And though no joyous shouts iissailed the ear For fruitless viet’ries oVr his ruthless foes, Those ueexlless trophies but the more eud**»r The noble martyr for his cent »ty’s vfoes. Long will the stricken South his name revere And shed upon his to n ) a grateful tear. Beautt of American \Vomi:v.—Na ture has endowed the American lady with a profusion of rich gifts far be yond her less favored sisters abroad. If really great beauties are compara tively rare aud even on this point the diversity of taste may lead to a difference of opinion—the majority of women are more than merely fair. They are, almost without exception, delicately made, aud in this respect very different from the robust typo of the English girl of tho period, with her ruddy color, her full form, and her deep, masculine voice, and still more different from the heavy, angular German girl, who combines so myste riously an immense amount of senti mentality with an unlimited appetite. The neck and tho extremities are uui formally so small t lat European es t .blishmonts have to make collars, gloves and shoes especially for the American market, certain sizes of these ■ three articles being utterly unsaleable in Europe. Hence, when thw Ameri can girl reaches her natural heaven, Paris, ami lias boen a low weeks in the hands of Frenehy artists, she is simply perfection. Tied to a Dead Body. —Henry Lee, F. L. S. writes to tho editor of the Lancet in regard to thoparlytic seizures from which Chang, one of the Siamse Twins, hasrecntly suffered. Ho has received letters from the twins and ; their families, which induced hi a jto believe in the possibility of their I separation in case of the predo- ( I cease of one of them. A letter from i ' ono of Chang’s daughters says that : her father is low spirited cau scarsely ! move without assistance, and that | his whole right side is perfectly use less.

VOL. V.---KO. 39 Bnriiiiin on Adv«trt*i*lng- Barnum is a practical man as a practical joker. He recently gave » lecture at Manchester, and tha Mir ror thus notices him ; Mr. Barn um occupied the last half ho r in advot ating the policy of liberal and judicous advertising. No matter how much you advertise if you do it right—tho more tho better. A single notice in a paper don’t amount to much. People see advertisements more than ouce before they read and read once before they buy. Some novel style should be selected. Tho advertisement should be made attractive by sono catch^word for read ing. The excitement of the day may bo made a ‘fly’ to catch the eye. This he illustrated by the success of Pease who became rich by soiling hoar-hound candy, and Y» T urreu, who managed to have his blacking, his name and business place, noticed free in every paper in England. He gave his own experience in ad vertising after he purchased the Mu seum. He began by a few line no tices, iu New York papers, and re solved to spend in advertising all ha could make for one year, but tho more he advertised the more money he made, and he yvas perplexed to find the means of expending his money in the way he designed. He published whole columns, sent millions of bill% hired hands to play execrable music, oruumented the Museum, Building# with flags, and thus in the most novel and grotesque ways carried on his ad vertising, and the result was that tho museum was crowded day by day, and money flowed into his pockets without stint. _ What Paris Knows About StarVA* tion. Butcher’s meat in Paris has be come so precious that no one person is allowed to buy mare than oi.e quarter of a pound per day'. We suppose this means a quarter of a pound to each person of the popula ti ni; and even at this rate the two million of consumers of Pans will eat up from six to seven hundred cattle per day . and Paris has no grass and no lorage for her cattle, so that they must be nearly used up. What then? Paris in peace is not like Now York —a groat seaside depot in which provisions of all kinds are accumula ted for exportation—but is au inland city,which lives from day today on its supplies from the interior- With this siege, therefore, Paris, with all that could ba done tor them, was poorly provided for the subsistence beyond a month or two of its two millions of consumers Before many days, there fore, we may look for peace or a des perate sortie by Trouchu for the deliv erance of the city. —Atlanta Era. Remains of a Ship Focxd isr a Desert Thirty Miles from Naviga tion. —A short time since one of these saline lakes disappeared, aud a party of Indians reported the discovery of a “big ship, left by the recoding waves. A party of Americans at once pro ceeded to the spot, aid found mb ided iu the sands tho wreck of a large ves sel. Nearly one third of the forward part of the ship or bark is plainly vis ible. Tbe stump at tbe bowsprit re mains, and iKirtions of the timbers, of teak, are perfect. The wreck is loca ted forty miles north of San IJerna • dino an l Fort Yuma road, and thirly miles west of L r s Palmos, a well known wateriug pluce ou the desert. The road across tho desert has been travelled for more than one hundred years. The history of the ill-fated vessel can, es course, never be known, but the discovery of its decaying timbers in the midst of what has long been a desert will furnish savaus with food for discusson, an 1 many perhaps furnish important aid in tho elucidation of queaioas of science. The Agricultural Congress. —Tho Agricultural Congress at Agusta adopted resolution instructing the Cotton and Corn committees to report at tbe next meeting, the best means, if any of counterac ting the effect so disastrous upon cotton of the purchaso of cotton by monied rings belore tho staple comes to market, and if better to plant less cotton aud more cereals.

It was followed by an immense ratification meeting at Tammany Ilall, Union Square and 14th street, at which speeches ware made by Gov. Seymour, Hon. Michael 0. Kerr, of lud a la, Hm } Win. M. Tweed aud others. The demonstration was quiet, remarkable in size and enthusiasm. The recent stoim on the Florida coast was very disastrous.
