A Man who never Saw a Woman.


 From Visits to Meaasieries in the Leyant," a very entertaining book Of travels, by Robert CrusOn we make the annexed extract:
 He was magnificent looking man, of thirty or thirty-iive years of age. with large eyes and long black hair aud beard. As we sat together in the evening in the ancieat room. by the light of the dim brazen lamp, with deep shades thrown across his face and figure, l thought he would have made an admirable study for Titlaa or Sebastian del PiOmbo. In the course of conversation fouad that he had learned Italian from another monk, having never been out of the peninsula of Mt Athos. His paFeats. and mest of the inhabitants :of ths village where hc was bora--somewhere in Roulnelia. bat its name or position he did net know ---had bsen massacred during revolt or disturbance. So he had been told, but he remembered Rothiag about il. He had been educated ia school in this or cue of the other meuasteriss and his whole life had been passed GU the Holy mountain; and this, he said, was the case with many other monks He did not remember his mother, and did not seem quite sure that he had one; he had never seen a woman, nor had he any idea what sort Of things women were, or what they looked like. He asked me whether they Yesembled the pictures of the Panagia-,he Holy virgin-which hung is every church. Now those who are eonvrrant with the peculiar conventional representations of the Blessed Virgin in the gietures of the Greek church, which are alike s,G. hard and dry, without any appear anee of life or emotion, will agree with me that they do moi afford very favorable idea of the grace or beauty ef the fair sex; and that there was diff ference of appearance between black women, Cir cassans, and those of other nations--which was however difficult to describe to one who had never secu lady of any race. He listened with great in- sefess white told him that all women were 10, exactly like the pictures he had seen; but did mol think |, charitable to carry on he conversation farther, although the poor monk seea,ed to have strong ncIiBatioa to know more of that interesting race of beings from whose rociety he had been so entirely dsbarred. l often thought afterwards of this manly add noble looking meak--w neither he is still reclnss, either in the monastery CT ia bis moaatain farn, with his little moss grown chapel, as ancient as the days ef Constantine; or whether be has gone out into the world, aDd mingled in its pleasures and it's cares"

 .aa Eaasfsrai Soa.-The following siatemen, we
 find in New York paper. The ease occurred in
 Brooklyn: William A. Colts wished his wife to place her signature to mortgage of some property,
 which she declined. After having exhausted all his logic to effect his object, his son, William A. Colt ir,. commenced proceedings by going to the house and requesting his mother to sign the papers, which she refused. He then produced six bar reled revolver, and informed her that each barrel was loaded with ball-cartridge-on of which was intended for her unless she compiled with his de- mand. She, doubting that the pistol was loaded, to convince her he discharged of the barrels. and tho ball lodged in the wall. Mrs. Colt swooned and after she recovered he inquired If she still per sisted in her refusal. She briefly gave her rcasons why she resisted and then consented to sign rathe. than have her son stgmstIzed as a murderer, and sho the victim The signature was made in the presence of William E. Lewis, commissioner, with tho full knowledge of the act of compalson. The unnatural has been arraigned on an indict. meat of assault with intent to kill. and William A. Colt. senior, and wm. B. Lewis, commissioner, have also been indicted by the grand jury of Kings county.

Cruel Experiment.

The New York Day Book says that the intei- gence of the respite which has been granted by Gov Fish to the convict, Wood, sentenced to be hung on the 22d, for the urder oi his wife, purposely kept from him, and the usual preparation for his execution made, 10 see if he would not, when the dreaded hour of his execution arrived, make con. fession of his guilt. His clergyman was with him in the morning. He wept most bitterly, but still protested that he innocent; and after the mos, solemn appeal made to him by MT. Edmonds, the keeper, Wood, as giving his last words, denied his guilt and protested that the witnesses who were his enemies, had sworn his life away.
 Ten o'clock had been fixed for bis execution. At nine one of the deputy keepers went into the cell, and holding his watch before the prisoner told him his time was nearly expired, and asked him if he had anything to say. Wood replied that he had told Mir. EdmoDds the truth, and he could only repeat that he was innocent, and then for the last time as he supposed, recapitulated the evidence and explained away the strong points against him.
 Mir. Jackson then told him tha, he had very nice coffin prepared for him, and that he would be decenty buried; upon which he replied that it would make no odds what kind Of coffin he had he only cared about bis soul; and that he should meet bis fate like man.
 At length Mir Edmonds announced the joyful tidngs Of the repFieve-w Wood received with grea. surprise. but without any demonstration of oy appearing to belPeriectiy paralyzed by the news
 We do not wonder that aiier being kept in such an agony, in order io make experiments upon his fears that he should be supplied by the sudden news tha, they had been tring with bis torures of mind IL was shocking experiment.

Manufacturins at the south.

The New York Morning Star, speaking of manu- lectures at the souh holds the following language
 Capitalists are gradually withdrawing part of their investments from agriculture and commencing manufactures at the south. The stocks for building cotton and woOilen mills are soon hled, and female operatives from Lowell, of experience, are invited, by high wages, to instruct southern girls in the art and mystery of fancy spinning. The experiment. is great and profitable one, and will go on, from article to article. until ths soath will sapply the market with cotton goods, ironware, and every ar -ticie of domestic consumption. AgeIse as the south Is to white labor, yei finding it difficult to unite white and black labor in ms the slaves released from the fields will be placed in the forges and steam plane
 ing mills, and in various outdoor labor. The north has fairly reused up the south to consideration of her and the surest means for its develop ment; but the reaction, while t will establish in- dustrial pursuits in the south, will deerive the north and east of valuable paying customer. The south. however, will never be able efectualIy to throw of all dependence on Yankee industry. If they refuse to buy anything down east, the Yankees will 20 south and do their manufacturing for them if they will sail their own vessels, the Yankees will navi
 gate them. and, if necessary, build them-,hey do not care whether they paid in cotton at Boston, for their lahE or in corn, in South Carolina Still IS revolution injurious to the east and beneficial to the south, brought on by an uncaed for interfer

 4 SsaSGlay PAeRomeRon.--A gentleman who has resided a long time in San Antonio, and who wit messed the late epidemic in that place, states that the water of the San Antonio river, which is cee- brated for its purity, and could at any time be used after standing for several days, was unfit for use during the prevalence of the cholera, when kept few hours. In less than half day vessel filled with water from the stream emitted an offensive smell, similar to bilge water. The rain water, too, that collected n pools in the streets would be cred with green scum the day after it fell. In addition to this singular phenomenon, the same gentleman states that the air was filled with light substance similar to the down of thistle which could easily be discened with the naked eye by look
 ing towards ;he The particles, when exaInined dScosed minute green specs covered, like the seeds oi some plants, with a substance that gave them baoyaney. These facts, however strange they may appear are from reliable authority; and however ehectualiy the animalcuie doctrine may have ex- 1 ploded, there is, in this instance seeming connec tcn between the cholera and the phenomeuon ai- | Iuded to which merits investigation
