A BEAUTIFUL AND TERRIFIC PIE

A BEAUTIFUL AND TERRIFIC Pie.
NoMENoN.-The Lexington (Ky.) In
telligencer, says: "On Tuesday last,
some ten or fifteen minutes before three
O'Clock, P. NJ, heavy explosion was
heard in this city, which the writer
supposed to be powder mill in the vi.
entity. The sound which was sensibly
felt, as well as heard, seemed to come
from an easterly or south easterly di
rection. A gentleman coming from
Paris on horseback, at the distance of
ten miles from Lexington, heard it in
the same direction, This led to the
conclusion that it must have been of
meteoric origin. We have since seen
an intelligent lad, fourteen or fifteen
years old, who happened to be, with
several other boys, a short distance in
the country, and says that he saw dis.
tnctly, to use his own words, "a great
white ball flying very swiftly from
where the sun was towards the East.
1t was nearly as big as the sun, and
very bright-whiter than snow-and
had long bright streak after it, of a
reddish color. 1t seemed to be very
near us, and flew almost as fast as
lightning. We were all frightened,
and watched it till it went behind
tree, when all at once we heard ter.
rlble roise, like heavy cannon at a
great distance. | thought at first it
was a great balloon bursted.' Such
was the graphic account the boy gave
OF 1t. There can be no doubt that it
was a grand meteoric explosion,-and,
If such was the brilliancy under clear
meridian sun, it must have been splen-
did and grand indeed, had it appeared
in the dark gloom of midnight"

Richmond Mining Company's Nine,

There is no stock Of this company in

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 0, 1887.

FATE OF GEsIus.--How often is it the fate OF
the gifted Of those whose writings have iliumi-
mined or entertained the reading world, to be
doomed TO suffering, poverty, and want! The
scholar, the philosopher, or the poet, if he be
not born to an heritage seldom ever obtains one.
The productions Of talent elevate and improve
the public mind--spread out in all its brightness,
the beauty Of virtue. and paint in all their hide
BUSINESS, the deformities of vice, aud create for
a n alton pure standard Of morality, and firm
and enlightened tone Of patriotism and fidelity.
The poet and the philosopher, act responsible
and important part in nations welfare and
prosperity. as the statesman or warrior. How
often are they as well rewardedf The latter,
are generally among the favored Of fortune, while
the former, though often better entitled to it,
seldom receive smile from the tickle Goddess
Poverty and misfortune oiteDer visits those who
dazzle the world with the illusions Of their muse,
than does comfort and competence. Their pro
ductons are spread out TO the world and the
worlds praise bestowed upon them with libe-
raj hand, without even the thought that he upon
whom that praise is lavished, may be the deni-
zen Of garrett, clad in the habiliments Of want,
aud sustained by the bread Of misery-that the
mind whose scmtillations out dazzle the light
Of heavens bright lumnary, is corroded with
care, and weighed down in dependency, at the
poor requital Of il, best efforts.
We have been led to these thoughts by see
ing paragraph giving the round of the papers,
that SAMUEL WooDwoRTH, the poet, is living
in New York. at IN advanced age, aud in ex-
treme poverty. To add to his Affections he is
Frustrated by a stoke of paralysis and utterly
unable TO do any thing for the support of himself
and a numerous family. Considerable sympathy
is excited in his behalf in the city. but like pub.
lie sympathy in general, it is to be feared it will
end in-talk. The author of that popular song
"The Oaken Bucket" deserves a better reward
for his labors from the enlightened city in which
he resides-a city that gives without limit to ev-

FROM MExIco.-We gather, from a
perusal of the files of Ell Censor Of Ve-
ra Cruz, (extending from the Goth to
the Both of June,) that deep feeling
of dissatisfaction, if not hostility, exists
there towards our Government. Gen.
Filasola, under whose command and
oroers Gen. Castro has acted, is cen.
sured with considerable severity for the
friendly disposition manifested towards
the squadron. The ground is taken
that an atonement should be made by
cur Government for the injuries which
Mexico has suffered at our hands, and
no atonement has been offered. Our
Consul, DR.. BURRoUGH, is spoken ofin
terms of great asperity, as an enemy
Of the worst kind. The pacific course
which Mexico has pursued, is ascribed
to the settled policy Of BUsTAMENTE,
which looks at present to one great OBJ.
ject, and is willing to sacrifice every
thing else to its accomplishment. This
object is the recovery of Texas. 1t is
understood that the whole tisposuble
means and power Of the Government
are to be concentrated as soon as pos.
sible, in order to make descent upon
Texas. In prosecuting this object,
Bustamente knows very well that the
Republic must have no embarrassing
relations with other Powers, and espe.
cially, that it will not answer for her to
be at war with the United States.
Among the subjects of complaint ur-
ged by Ell Censor, is the fact that Com.
modore DALLAS, on coming on shore
at Vera Cruz, did not wait on the Com.
mandant, but through the U. States
Consul, invited General Castro to visit
him at the residence Of the Consul

we hope, be met in corresponding spi-
rit by our administration.

PARTIAL REsUMPTIoN.-The New
Orleans Bulletin of the 18th ult., (says
the Lynchburg Virginian,) announces
that the Louisiana State Bank has re.
solved to paw in specie notes of the de-
nomination or'5, 10, 90, and so dollars
on notes OF 500 to pay so in spe.
Gle; on notes Of $500, 100 in specie,
and on notes of $1,000, 900 in specie.
The Bulletin accompanies this annun.
citation with the remark that specie had
rapidly declined in value in that place,
the consequence of a supply continual
ly flowing in from abroad, and the de-.
crease Of the demand for expectation.
The last named, and doubtless the eff
Gent cause of this improved state OF
things. the Bulletin says, "is mainly
attributable to the exertions of Mr..
Biddle, who has been forwarding cot.
tan to an immense amount to meet the
engagements Of the U. States Bank in
Europe, thereby supporting the credit
OF that institution, and retaining the
specie in the country. The Bulletin
adds: "The power and abilities dis
played by this able fnancier, in steer
ing through the difficulties Of latter
times, must command for him the ad.
miration even of his inveterate oppo.
nents." We do not doubt that Mr..
Blddle's enemies admire, even while
they vilify and abuse him. They can.
not do otherwise.
