GEN. TAYLOR VISITING A SEMINARY.-The
Young ladies' of E~dgeworth Seminary, Sewick-
ly, Pa, requested Gen. Taylor to drive within
the grounds as he passed, that they might see
one of whom their fathers and brothers had
talked so much, and as delicaey forbade their
turning to the road side to gaze at him. He
complied with the request, and, being introduce
ed, said:
Young Ladies-It is with pleasure that
present myself before you at this time. 10
me it is always pleasing to meet with the young
and beautiful. And it is my earnest hope, that
in your present favorable position you may be
we'll prepared for future happiness and future
usefulness. Accept my sincere thanks for the
honor conferred upon me in your request, and
especially on account of the t~latterieg and cour-
teous terms in which your invitation was couch
ed.
The President was then cheered by the pupils
of Sewickly Academy, who were present. when'
turning to them, he said:
Young Gentlemen-Iam pleased to see you.
You are now in the morning of life. Make a
proper use of the privileges you enjoy. Lay a
solid foundation for becoming useful to your
country and the world. My best wishes Tor
your prosperity remain you.

GRAND FALL OF WHARF.-THE Rome (Ga.)
Bulletin describes q remarkable phenomena
which occurred at Cedar Point, in the vicinity
of Chattanooga, on the I'd ult. The clouds about
6 A. M. became greatly agitated, forming a great
mass of distinct whirls, like water spouts, ac-
companied by loud roarings. They became en-
veloped in darkness, and u large number Of them
must have burst upon the mountain. There are
the marks of the effects of s~euenteen within the
space of one mile and u half on the slope of
the mountain. Large gullies were scooped OUT
vast rocks removed from their bases and thrown
about in confusion, and in one place a large oak
tree was uprooted and carried three hundred
yards down the mountain. The waters rose
p~rodigiously, flooding the valleys, and carrying
away fences, cattle, grain, etc. =.

UNwAsHED FRENCH LADIEs.-An American
lady, writing from Paris, says that she has lately
discovered the secret of the many beautiful and
brilliant compilations seen in that city. 1t
seems that water is conceived by the French
ladies' as the great spoiler of the skin, so that
unless some untoward circumstance really soils
their faces they are not touched with water
from one weeks end to another; the owners
content themselves with gentle rubbing with a
dry coarse towel, and exclude water almost
entirely from the toilet table. 7- o

ACCIDENT AND SINGULAR REsULT.-At st.
Louis on the 2Sth ult., a young man by the
lame of Chas. Green, lately a resident of Lou
~isville, was engaged in raising the ceiling Of a
new store, to place a column under it, when the
timber suddenly gave way, and fell on an axe
that he held in his hand. The axe in its turn
was knocked with great force against his head,
and he fell senseless. He recovered, however,
and was able to walk; but what is singular is,
that it has greatly impaired his memory. He
barely recollects that he ever lived in Louisville,
and still believes himself on the steamer CON-
ing from that place to St. Louis. He has for
gotten nearly every past event, although he
walks around and conyerses intelligently with
those about him.

SYMPTOMS of Revolution.

CUBA-We learn from the Bee that "the
British steamer which left Havana on the 29th
ult., brings advices from the Island of Cuba,
which would seem to indicate the near approach
of intestine connections. The papers, as usu-
al. do not furnish the remotest hint of what is
going on, but private lettere show that some
thing serious is brewing. Troops have been
organized in Havana and despatched to Puerto
Principe, and the latest reports are that that
town., together with St. Jago de Cuba and Tri-
nidad, had pronounced for independence, and
that the Government troops have affiliated with
the people. Four thousand militia have been
ordered into service by the Captain General,
and extensive preparations are making to put
down revolt. What gives ONE coloring to the
information is the fact stated by a correspon-,
dent of the Delta, that the English Consul has
written to Jamaica for all the English squadron
that can be disposed Of, for the protection of
British property and subjects. When British
functionaries take the alarm, matters must be-
Gin to look squally.
According to the same correspondent, various
measures had been proposed Of a very strin-
gent character. Some had counselled the i'm
prisonment of all influential Creoles others,
that the Spaniards should assassinate the ma
tives; and others again, that a forced contribu-
ton should be levied on all citizens; but these
projects were negatived, and the Government
has contented itself with using the regular
means at its disposal to meet the exigency.
There is no doubt much exaggeration in the
report; but there is probably likewise a con-
siderable foundation of truth. It is quite GER
tain that a movement for the political indepen-
dence of Cuba has long been in contemplation
among the creoles of the Island. 1t may have
broken out Observation-Disclosures perhaps into
a precocious existence by recent events-but it
is sure to come at last, and just as certain Of
ultimately succeeding"

THE SECRET EXPEDITIoN.-There are at
Round Island, says the Picayune of the Sd,
about 400 men, attached to what is called the
aSecret Expedition" They are blockaded by
several of our men of war, presenting the Sill
gular spectacle of the United States Govern
ment b1ockading its own citizens. The men
are said to be unarmed, and in want of food
they anticipated assistance by a steamer from
New Orleans. But one Of the officers of the
blockading squadron was heard to say that any
vessel attempting to get to the Island would be
fred into and sunk! The Picayune further says:
It was rumored at P%ascagoula on Saturday,
that to-day some of the officers Of the "Round
Islanders intended to make application to the
legal authorities at that place for a civil process
against the officers who have cut OH their sup
plies, and to endeavor to have them arrested on
q peace warrant. 1t was the opinion Of a dis
tinguished legal gentleman then at Pascagoula,
that the process would issue and an order Tor
the arrest of the parties complained against be
made. 1t would be a little singular If Uncle
Sans men were to be arrested and held to
bail on the complaint of these "outside barba-
rians," or rather "vagrants,' as they have been
superciliously and insultingly designated.
We have understood upon good authority
that Col. White, who left here on Saturday,
took over to Perry S. Warfeld, Esq, at Biloxi,
the necessary affidavits, &c, and that the legal
gentleman alluded to is to conduct the proceed
ings. We have also understood, that in ac-
cordance with the terms of Commander Ran
dOlph's proclamation, a boat load OF provisions
have been already seized.

JOHN KNoX's HoUsE.-A Dean of Guild
Court, held on the 26th of July, has according
to The Scotsman, ordered the destruction of
John Knox's (the famous R~eformer's) house,
Gas being insecure, %ruinous, and dangerous to
the inhabitants and other persons therein" This
house, more than three hundred years old-iti is
nearly as many since Knox died-is one of the
celebrities of that city, an antiquarian rele and
memorial, which, it might be supposed, the
Court would have deemed it more natural to
order repaired than destroyed.

GEORGE WAsH1NGroN.-The following beau
tiful anecdote is related by Duer in his Anew
York as it Was and Is"
The reserve and taciturnity of Washington
were proverbial; but as the one was the result
of diffidence, and not of a~usterity or pride, so
the other proceeded from his habitual prudence
rather than coldness, or want of the sensibilitK
that inspires eloquence. In proof of this, it is
related ofhim that when the famous meeting of
officers was held at Newburg, to consult upon
measures to be taken in consequence of the
disarmament of the army by congress, without
securing the reward due to its services, Wash
ington, who was known to disapprove of the
proceedings, though he sympathized with the
feelings which gave rise to it, resolved, never
theless, to be present.
Unwilling to trust to his powers Of extern
pore speaking, he reduced what he meant to
say to writing, and commenced reading it with
out his spectacles, which, at that period he used
only occasionally. He found, however, that he
could not proceed without them. He stopped
and took them out, and as he prepared to place
them, he exclaimed, Il have grown blind, as well
as gray, in the service of my country" This
sudden bust of natural eloquence produced, as
may be supposed, more effect than anything in
his premeditated address.

CUBA.

The New Orleans Bee Is Of opinion that Cuba viii
vet bccorne the property of the United States and
that General Taylor, with that untrring sagacity and
strong common sense which mark his intellect can
neither be nsensible 10 the inestlmabe ndvnptayes
which would result from the acquisition Of Cuba
blind 10 the fact that In the fnliess Of time thai
splendid and fertile island must become part and
parcel o! the gigantic american republic.
The Bee states that disafiection towards Spain i
prominent sentiment in the bosom OF every native
Cuban. II mentions as the cause of this disafTec.
ton, their distance from the mother country; and
Its selfish dominion their proximity to land OF
free institutions; the fact that the entire power and
authority OF the colonial government Is vested In a
handful OF greedy Spanish officials whose rapacity
and emoluments are boundless and whose arrogance
intolerable. No native Cuban Is ever appointed to
an office OF trust 10y the Spanish government. YET
the planters fear the consequences Of rebellion and
their natural incidence prevents them from making
energetic efforts TO redress their wrongs Richmond
