A iriend at our elbow reminds us that in speaking of “ Industrial Fairs” and “ Rail way fares,” we should not forget to say that the hall of exhibition will be thronged by fair ladies— “ Old Carolina’s noble daughters— The dark-eyed beauties of the South.** This last announcement—or rather the ladies to whom it relates, will prove irresistible, we are sure. * (Diir tCulumu. Feeding High! In a certain district of our State, there re sided a worthy old gentleman, who affected the most unbounded hospitality, but whose horses, like those of his neighbours generally, gave lit tle evidence that there was an abundance of com made in the “ settlement.” One night three gentlemen rode up to the mansion ol on. ho ;..table host, whom we will call the Governor, L,r he had borne the Execu tive honours, and were received by him at his gate with the most flattering courtesies “ Welcome to ye, gentlemen.” said the Go vernor, w’ho was well acquainted with them all. “I am happy to see you. Come ’light and let me have your horses put up.” Then addressing a servant, he added: “ Here, Romp ; take these horses and put them into the best stable, and mind you, Pomp, take good care of ’em, and feed ’em high ! Do you hear, Pomp? —feed ’em high !” Pomp disappeared with the weary steeds, and the Governor and his gue ts entered the house, where they received a hearty welcome and comfortable cheer. One of the gue-ts was aware of the fact that it was a “scarce” neighbourhood for corn, and having a care for his horse, he arose early and visited the stable. He was a little surprized to find the horses ot himself and companions tied in an open shed, beneath a rack tolerably well filled with oats, but so high that the horses could not reach them. After removing the dif ficulty, he returned to the house and lound his lio.-t ou tiie front piazza with his other guests. “ Good morning, Governor,” said lie ; “1 had heard so much about the care yon bestow’ on horses m this settlement, that 1 felt some curi osity to see for myself, and I must confess that 1 never, in all my life, saw horses fed so high as ours were last night. Why, Governor, they were fed so “ high” that they could not possi bly reach up to the fodder 1” The Governor blushed consciously ; but with admirable tact lie turned aside the point of his guest’s sati.e, by venting his wrath upon that ‘ good for nothing devil of a Pomp, who was too lazy to carry out his special instructions.’ Os course, the guests felt all the force of his apology ; but, nevertheless,they did not speedily forget his practical illustration of “ feeding high !” Woman's Rights. A number of “ ma-euline women and femi nine men,” as someone calls them, hive lately held a Convention in Worcester, Mass., in which the subject of “ Woman’s Rights” was agitated. In this imperfect state of human so ciety, in which many tilings are, confessedly, “ out of joint,” woman doubtless suffers fre quent injustice and is often deprived of her rights ; but this injustice will not be prevented or these rights restored by Conventions in which such absurb doctrines are promulgated, as were advanced by the pettieoated philosophers who assembled at Worcester. If woman has the same rights and the same social and political sphere as man, she has also the same duties. In this case, the laws of Nature and of God are as imperfect and unjust as those ol man, for in addition to the duties which devolve upon her in com non with man, she has others of which man cannot relieve her, and in which he can not participate. * “Parnassus in Pillory.” A now satirical poem, with this quaint title, is about to make its appearance. A contem porary makes several extracts from advanced sheets. Tuckerman is thus painted: * Here’s Tuckerman — cairn, sentimental, placid— A Roman Punch, without the strength or acid, While Taylor cheapens lares and prices lava, Tuckerman at “ LaScata ** murmurs brava.** A delicate muse is his —genteel, exclusive— Marvelling, no doubt, why critics are abusive; *Tis vulgar (asLordChesteriield admonished) To let folks see us startled or astonished ; And TANARUS., (a well-bred, gentlemanly poet,) If he has feeling, never lets us know it; lie sees Niagara, and says—“ 1 declare!** Applauds a thunderstorm, with—“ Pretty fair!” Reads Milton listlessly, with half-closed lids, And wonders if the devil wore white kids ; Likes us to know that he has been to Italy— Thinks that Vesuvius “ does eruptions ” prettily ; Whistle* “ 11 Figaro *’ —quotes scraps of Dante— A Yankee transcript of the dillettante. Biscaccianti in England. Biscaccianti has produced a sensation nearly amounting to a furore, in the British capital. Her debut took place on the 15th October, and the next day the leading dailies —the Times, the Post, the Herald, and the Chronicle —came out with tiie most rapturous articles in praise of “ the celebrated priina donna from Milan.” Wonder of these magnanimous critics would have said half as much in her praise if they had been aware that she is an American, and learned music on this side of the Atlantic ! Such is the fact. Eliza Ostinelli Biscaccianti was born in the city of Boston and of an American mother. Her Lucia di Lammei moor is said by many good musical critics to be the best ever heard on the American stage. *, More Light* Mr. fclaite, an American, lately exhibited an electric light from the Sunderland Light-house in England, which throws all other lights into the shade. It was witnessed by thousands of spectators. At the distance of three miles, it gave light sufficient to read a letter by, and enable several people to read a newspaper on the stand. The Commissioners of Light houses went seven in.les to sea and thence looked to the shore. The pier light was invi sible ; but the electric light remained unshorn of its beams and shone as blight as ever—so bright that the captain might have consulted his chart by it! * Old English. The earliest ballad now remaining in the English language, says a writer in the Drawing lioum Journal, is believed to be a “ Cuckoo Song,” wnt.eu in the latter part of the reign ol Henry HI.

Grahame, or X outh and Manhood. A Romance. New York: Baker & Scribner. JBSO. This volume is by the auther of “ Talbot and Vernon,” a novel which we noticed, some months ago, with approbation. The author says, in his preface to “ G.ahame,” that he ‘ is not without hope that some soul of goodness may be found in it by all who have courage enough to distil it out.’ VVe are not satisfied, however, that the good which is in it redeems the evil, or that the end which the author pro poses, ol moral instruction, justifies the means by which he seeks to evolve it. The story sets out with a great wrong—a perversion of the social laws both ofGod and man,in a deliberate disregard of the marriage tie. The case is ag gravated by the high degree of excellence which the author claims for his hero and hero ine—the former of whom is weak enough, by the way, to cherish a superstitious respect for his fa filer’s command, that he should form no marriage connection, and the latter weak enough to yield her own maidenly instincts of virtue and purity to the prejudices of her lover. The result is an anomalous connection between them, from which Time and Conscience at length startle our hero, and he pleads for that hand in marriage which he lias hitherto held in license only. With a false heroism, Eliza Pre ton refuses his prayer, and when he pre sents, as the alternative, his voluntary exile, she persists, resolving rather to sacrifice herself than to make him a martyr to that conscience which urges him now, to do what his judgment had denounced. This self-sacrifice appears to us to be excessively puerile and unnatural, and the whole narrative, up to this point, to be of very questionable morality. They seperate in mutual anguish, and Henry Grahame joins t e army, takes part in the bat tle ot New Orleans, and subsequently follows the fortunes of Bolivar, in his South American enterprise-. The character of Bolivar is ex hibited in strong and dark outlines, and there is, in this long episode, much of spirit and stir ring incident. The story, to be very brief, ends quite as “ happily ” as it there had been no great wrong at first. Henry Grahame returns to find Eliza unmarried, and no longer unwilling to be his’ wife. Before this ‘ consummation,’ we are in troduced to another heroine, in the person of Mary Poindexter, and we cannot help expres sing admiration at tiie ingenuity of our author in cealmg from all, save oae person, the fact that this young and beautiful girl is the daughter of the erring but repentant couple whose for tunes we are reviewing. Even Mary herself is blissfully ignorant of it, and we have the start ling position afforded us of two unwedded pa rents looking, with ill-suppressed affection, upon j upon their beautiful and unconscious child. They witness her marriage to a sou of Henry Grahame’s best friend in his ill-starred youth— a ceremony which, however, immediately suc ceeded their own nuptials, in a late atonement for early crime. Prosperity, honours and hap piness attend the newly wedded, and all the sin of Grahame’s “ youth” leaves thus no blot upon his “ manhood.” The author anticipates and deprecates the | censure of the critics for this very singular his tory of a life-error and its results ; but his apolo gy is quite as unsatisfactory as his philosophy. We cannot find a sufficient excuse either for I the folly of his hero and heroine, or for his presumption in setting up for a moral teacher with snch a text-book as “ Grahame.” Three Years in California. By Rev. Walter Col i ton, U.S.N., late Aleaile of Monterey .author of “Deck and Port,” Stc. New Fork: A. S. Barnes & Cos. 1850. Those who have read “ Deck and Port ” will need only to be told that this is a woik of simi lar character and style, to feel at once a desire to peruse it. The three years which our author spent in California, and which are embraced in the journal which he has here given to the public, date from July 27th, 1846, and of course embrace a period of time fraught with mo mentous events and pregnant with interest and importance. These events, as far as they came under the observation or to the knowledge of Mr. Colton, were recorded at the time in a journal kept for that purpose, interspersed with anecdotes and incidents of less general concern, hut which add much to the interest of the book, and we have the results in the volume before us. The journal form and style has been retained in the body of the work, hut in the closing part of the book we have several chap ters in which a variety of interesting facts are thrown together in a somewhat more connected manner. Opening the volume at random, in search of a quotable passage of suitable brevity for our purpose, our eye fails upon the following: THE EGG BREAKING. Wednesday, Jan. 6. As 1 was sitting in the house of an old Californian to-day, con versing very quietly about the condition ot the country, 1 felt something break on my head, and, starting around, discovered two large black eyes, lighted with their triumph. It flashed upon me, that the annual egg-breaking festival here had commenced. The rules of this frolic do not allow you to take offence, whatever may be your age or the gravity of your profession: you have only one alternative, and that is, to retaliate if yoYi can. You have not to en counter the natural contents of the egg—these ate blown out; and the shell is filled with wa ter, scented with cologne or lavender, or more often, with gold tinsel, and flashing paper, cut into ten thousand minute particles. The tinsel is rubbed by a dash oi the hand into your hair, and req ires no little combing and brushing to get it out. Ladies will work at it tor hours, and rind some ol tiie spangles st.il remaining. When a liquid is used, tiie apertures are closed with wax, so that the belligerent may carry it about his person. The antagonist is always of the opposite sex. You must return these shots, or encounter a raiiery, which is even worse. Having finished my chat, I bade my good old California friend, and ins daughter, my egg shell opponent, gjod morning ; but turned into a siiop, procured an egg or two, and re-entered the mansion of my liiend by a side door, where 1 watched lor my victim. A lew moments brought her along, all-unconscious of her dan ger. 1 slipped tiom my covert, and,unperceiv ed, dashed tiie showeiing egg on her head. Her locks floated in cologne, i was avenged, and now stood squaie with the woild.so iar as egg bieakitig is concerned. This seems like ehiid icu’s play, but here you are forced to co it in self-detenee. The woik is embellished with portraits ol Capt. John A. Sutter, T. 0. Larkin, Esq., Hon. J. C. Fremont, Hon. Wm. M. Gwin, Hon. G. W. Wright and Jacob R. Snyder, Esq., and a number of wood cuts and iithotuit engravings, and is printed and bound in very handsome style. * Evenings at Donaldson Manor, or the Christmas Guest. By Maria J. Ali'intosli, auli.or ol “ Women in America,” “Two Eivts,” “Charms and Counter Charms,” Ac. Ntw \ ork ; D. Anplttoi. At Cos., OOU Broadway. Pliitauetiihia: Gto. Si. Appleton. 1861. ‘1 lie nariative of the Christmas gathering serves as a thread whereon Miss Mclntosh has strung some veiy pretty stories, and now and tiie a favourite poem. Seme of these tales have been published beloit, and others aie quite new—ali ot them have the peculiar grace w hich characterizes her wiitings. But Miss Mcln tosh aims at something moie than grace or beauty ; slit- never writes without a purpose for good, and tiie moral influence of her p n is very great. Nor is the thread of the nariative which mils through the volume without interest, and a pretty finale,which adds much to its grace. Such a volume must be a most acceptable “Christmas Guest” into whatsoever circle it may enter. Its illustrations are very fine. **** Success in Liss. The Mechanic. By Mrs. L. C. Tuthill. New York: George P. Putnam. 1850. ‘1 his is the second volume of a series Mrs. Tuthill is writing (or young men, or more pro perly for youths commencing the business of life. The first volume, called “The Merchant,” we commended for its unusual merit, and we may speak of the present work in the same terms The style is forcible and energetic, and well calculated to enforce the attention of the reader. Her illustrations, drawn from the lives and experiences of such men as Franklin, Fitch, Tulton and Whitney, are full of vividness and point. The lad dreaming of the future and pondering what to choose, the young man shaping out his course in life, and even the man ot maturer years, will read these books to ad vantage. Every virtue which insures success is here pointed out and its practice encouraged ; every weakne ; s and vice which prevents such success is exposed to view, and the beacon of other errors and viee3 is held up to teach them how to shun the rocks and quicksands. Midsum mer Fays, or the Holidays at Woodleigh. By Susan Pindar. New York: D. Appleton & Cos. Plul adelphia: GeorgeS. Appleton. 1851. This is truly one of the most enchanting vol umes for children that ever fell into our hands. The fairy stories have quite as much interest as those wild and wonderful but meaningless tales of elf and lay which delighted our own child hood, to which is added a principle and germ ol truth which will find entrance in the heart of the child and will expand into the beautiful tree of the virtues. The style of the book is un commonly chaste and attractive, and the illus trations are beautiful. #**# tyi litprarif iUorli*. 80/tn, as we see by the London Literary Gazette, has added to his .Standard Library, Jeremy Taylor’s “Holy Living and Dying.” This favouiite treatise is teplete with all the author’s quaiutuess, and is one of his most popular works.

The political news is not important, but we give a brief compend : In England, there is a good deal of excite ment in connection with the late appointments of Catholic Archbishops and Bishops by the Pope. This distribution of England into sees, and conferring of titles without authority of law and without previous negotiation with the Government, is regarded as improper and pre sumptions, and the authorities are called upon not to permit it to be carried into execution. In France, the difficulty long existing be tween Gen. D’Hautpoui, the Minister of War, and Gen. Changatnier, Commander of the forces at Paris, lias resulted iri the dismissal of the former from office, lie receiving the appoint ment of Governor of Algeria by way of emol lient —an illegal step by the way, as D’Haut poui is a representative and cannot be appotnted to any office of emolument. The government try to get around this by calling the appoint ment temporary. This event may be taken as an act of reconciliation between Louis Napo leon and the powerful Changarnier, in which the former gives in to the latter. The succes sor of D’Hautpoui is Gen. Sehramin, a soldier of the wars of Napoleon. From Schleswig Holstein, we have no spe cial news. A number of Austrian ofFicerehave joined the army of the Duchies.

From Italy, wc have a document of some importance in the Papal Bull creating the new bishoprics in England.

It recites that it is the earnest desire and aim of the Roman Pontiff’ to extend Catholicity, and to “re-convert the English nation,” espe cially by the foreign education of devout young English Catholics, who, when brought up in the Propaganda College in their ecclesiastical calling, might return to their native land, aud there propagate the true faith.
