A CURIOSITY OF ART-STRANGE DIS
covERY.-An English paper states that
there has been exhibiting at the Egyptian
Hall, London, a full length miniature of
female, discovered by Mr.. Fades in a
block of marble which he was preparing
for an obelisk, discovered perfect in itself
Mr.. Fades thus describes it:
"This unprecedented phenomenon OF
human nature is most mysterious and
truly astonishing full length miniature OF
a lady, three inches in height, i'll the cos
tune Of the present time; possessing ac-
curate and pleasing features, graceful
figure, beautiful ringlets; upon the head
is cottage bonnet, to which is attached
a superb veil, under Ter arm she carries
fashionable muff, and which has the ap-
pearance of one of the most recherche OF
the Hudson Bay Company. The incom-
parable miniature has been examined by
several, eminent antiquarians, scientific
gentlemen, first rate artists, and numerous
distinguished ladies and gentlemen, who
have unanimously pronounced it to be
the finest specimen ever beheld, and may
be challenged against the world SO per-
fectly uniform in every particular, com
binding grace and elegance, that it ap-
pears production of Mr.. Martin, or some
other celebrated artist.

GEORGE LIPPARD.--A fierce man sits restlessly
upon fiery charger. The steed paws the ground,
the lightning flashes from his hoofs
The kne of distant bell strikes his ear. 1t is
the knell of hope!
A curse issues angry from between his grinding
teeth.
"Does he spurn me? no office! Does he think
me dog that will chase his enemy for nought?"
A binding rage was in his eye--ne wheeled
and sped like lightning into the darkness! He
reaches cave A stratching, as Of n(uriated
tigers, is heard! He comes forth! His eye is
boodshot! He raises to the silent gaze of the
stars, scroll!
He spoke in slow, cultural utterance, "Gen.
Taylor, am your enemy! Yes, l, George Lip
pard, ha-ha-a-a.a!'
And the Locofoco papers all over the United
States copied the words written in that scroll, and
made fools of themselves. Well, they did.

COURAGE OF THE CAMANCHE.- E.-Maior
Henry, of the U. S. Infantry, in one of
his interesting letters from San Antonio,
Texas, to give an idea of the the obstinate
courage Of the Camanche Indians, gives
the following as one instance of desperate
resistance in Chief of that tribe:
A party of them had been for some
time annoying the settlements in the
vicinity of San Antonio. A la rye force
had been collected to pursue them. A
battle ensued near tie town; many were
killed and some taken prisoners. One
chief and his squaw shu: themselves up
in an old Spanish house, resolutely refus-
ing to surrender. The command was
drawn up around the house. and he must
have seen that every avenue of escape,
as well as all hope of success, was cut
off. Wishing to spare him they sent the
rophet of his band to use his influence
to prevail upon him to surrender. He
scOrned their proposals and for an answer
sent an arrow among the troops, which
killed one of their men. His position
was so favorabe<hat he killed seven.-
To get him out, they made a hole in the
roof and threw composition balls into the
house. Suddenly he opened the doors
and with desperate energy rushed forth
and nearly succeeded in making his
escape. He dealt death-blow until the
last, killing three more before he was
shot down. One can hardly realize such
desperate resistance from one man. His
squaw was killed during the attack. He
had buried her. She was found in her
simple grave, with the warriors saddle
as her tombstone.

The electric telegraph to the New
York Courier and Enquirer contains no.
thing definite as to Rome and Hungary
The late victories of the Austrians over
the Hungarlans were much exaggerat-
ed. The Hungarians having crossed the
Waab, suddenly made an attack on the
Imperialists' position and penetrated into
the centre of them, and after battle OF
three days with two Imperiallst armies,
the Hungarians retreated to their frontier
position, but not without having by their
onset done considerable damage to the
Imperialist corps. The Austrian Repub-
lican publishes decree OF the Austrian
Commander-in-C Chief, General Hayden, in
which that military chieftain states that
the citizens of the borough of Boschar-
kang, having aided and abetted the
Hungarian insurgents in their attack upon
the brigade of General Wyse, he has
ordered their town to be burned and an
initiated.
