l knowledge, by the important public offices lie
iat various times has filled, and by his many
contributions to scientific and literafy works,
died this morning, at his residence in this ci

Ttc character and history of Dr. Mitchill arc

life has been principally passed, and of whos:
confidence in his wisdom and integrity he
had several times received the most convin- j
cing proof, in being chosen as their represen

The literary and scientific acquirements
and productions of Dr. Mitchill wore known
and appreciated in Europe as well as in this,
country, and on both continents they had pro
cured for him the distinction of membership, j
and of other honorary testimonials, from a
great number of learned and scientific socic. |

GENIUS.
Genius of every kind belongs to some in
nate temperament; it does not necessarily im- j
ply a particular bent, because that may pos-;
sibly be the effect of circumstances; hut, with-!
out question, the peculiar quality is inborn,
and particular to the individual. All hear
and see much alike: but there is an mdcfirvft- j
blc though wide difference between the ear i
of a musician, ortho eve of a painter,com-j
pared with the hearing and seeing organs of
ordinary men; and it is in something like that
difference in which genius consists. Genius
is, however, an ingredient of mind, more ca- 1
si ly described by its effect than by its quali
ties. It is as the fragrance, independent of
the freshness and complexion of the rose; as
the light of the cloud; as the bloom on the
cheek of beauty, of which the possessor is un
conscious until this charm lias been seen by
its influence on others; it is the eternal golden
| flame of the opal; a something that may be
I extracted from the thing in which it appears,
without changing the quality of its substance,
t its form, or its affinities. — Galt's Byron]
Simplicity of Goldsmith —Col. O’Moon-,
of Cloghatn Castle, 111 Ireland, told tho editor
an aYuusing instance of the iniugledjvuriity and
simplicity of Goldsmith, wilich, thWgh color,

characrcffDic at least of the opinion which
the best friends of Goldsmith. One alter
noon, as Col. O’ Moore and Air. Burke were*
going to dine with Sir Joshua Reynolds, they
observed Goldsmith, also on his way to Sir
Joshua’s, standing near a crowd of people who
were staring and shouting at some foreign wo
men in the windows ol quo of the houses in
Leicester square. “Observe Goldsmith,”said
Burke to () Aloof 0, “ and mark what passes
between him and me, by-and-bv, at Sir Josh*
ua s. ’ They passed on, and arrived before
Goldsmith, who came soon after, and Mr.
Burke affected to receive him very c oolly.—
This seemed to,vex Goldsmith, who begged
j Air. Burke would tell hint how ho had tho
■ rnisfoitune to otlend him, Burke appeared
i very reluctant to speak, bill after a good deal
j of pressing said, “that he was really ashamed
; to keep up an intimacy with one ivho could
he guilty of sucll monstrous indiscretions as
Goldsmith had exhibited in the square. *
Goldsmith, with great earnestness, protested
lie was unconscious of what was meant.
“M hy,” said Burke, “ did you not exclaim,

THE ACROPOLIS.
| The Acropolis of Athens is a hill 259 feet
■ high’ situated near the centre of the most an
! cient city. It. was strongly fortified and or
j 'lamented with temples,'\he chief of which
! was the splcndcd tenipleof Minerva, tile glo
!T °f Grecian art Tlie Persians, under Xer
i 3cs, took the citadel, put the garrison to th
| sword, and set fire to the fortress, and tho
temple ot Minerva* The temple was rebuilt
I by Pericles with great additional splendour.
M ithiri was thq statue to Alinervu by Phidias
the most r-piecc of the art of statuary. It
| was ot ivory, 39 feet in height, and eovcretf
u ith pure gold to the value of $530, 000. In
J f hr- year of the Y'cnetians atteinjrted to*
; make themselves masters of Athens; in the
siege, the Turks having con verted the temple
.Minerva into a powder magazine, a bomi>
j fell info it, and blew up the whole roof of
| that famous edifice. The Turks afterwards
converted the inside into a mosque. This e-
I difico, mutilated as it is, retains still an air
| or inexpressive grandeur and excites the ad
miration of every beholder “For these forty
years, ’ said tlie French Consul to Poquevillc*
i “do I behold this matchless structure, and
every day do l discover new beauties 11*
it." The Turks fortified tho Acropolis amt
j built a large irreguMr wall around it. In the
year 1821,'soon after the commencement of*
! the Revolution in Greece, this fortress was
unsuccessfully besieged by the Greeks. The.
Turks, who had with them about 50 of the
principal Greeks, daily cut off the heads of
i several, and rolled them down the walls of tho
1 citadel. The next year it surrendered to 1-
i lyssos.

Indian Sag acitv. —An Indian, upon hist
| return home to his hut one day, discovered
; that his venison which he had hiing up to dry,
i had been stolen. After taking observations
j Upon the spot, lie set olfin pursuit of tho,
thief, whom he tracked through the woody
' After going some distance, he met some per
sons of whom he inquired, if they had seen
a little old white man, with a short gun, ar
i coronanied by a small dog with a bob tail*
They replied in the affirmative, and upon tho
Indian assuring them that the man thus dcs.
crilied had stolen his venison, they desired
to be informed how he was enabled to give
i such a minute description of a person he.
had not seen l The Indian replied thus—“The
thief 1 know is a little man, by big having
made a piTe of stones to stand upon in order
to reach the venison from the height I hung
it standing on the ground; that lie is an old
man, l know by his shortstops, which I bau>
, traced over the leaves in tlie woods; and that
lie is a ichife man, I know by his turning
out his toes when be walks, which an Indian
never does. His gun I know to be short %
by tho mark the muzzle made by rub*
hing the hark of the tree on which it lean
ed; that liia dog is small, I know by bis
tracks? and that he has a bob tail, 1 dis
covered by the mark it made in the dusr
where he was timing at the time hi*
master was taking down the meat.
