SIGNOR SPINETTo AND HIS BIRDS-We
do not know place in town where an
hour can be passed more agreeably thau
at the room of Signor Spinetto, No. l3
St. Charles street. The performances OF
his troupe of little warblers are truly as
tonishing, and must be seen to be appre.
ciated. One of the little songsters 10
placed ON the mouth of large trumpet,
where he sits undisturbed while the in.
strument is blown with great force. Ano.
ther lies apparently lifeIess. surrounded
by burning tapers. Another at the COM
msnd of the Signor mounts on the back
of a dove aud with a cooked hat, which
he sports with much gusto, rides around
the stage with the dignity of general.
The most beautiful feat of all. however.
is executed by two doves, one Of which,
at the command of his master, lies down.
perfectly dead to all appearance. Her
mate is ther placed on the stage and told
to call to her companion. She goes up
to him and with a show of feeling which
touches the heart of all who witness it,
endeavors by all the endearments known
to her, to bring him back to life. AT first

plaintive, and then it becomes louder, and
when, by pulling his bill ond moving him
aboat, she succeeds in arousing him. her
Joy is as plainly manifested as it would
ne by human being. The carriage and
slack rope performances are also beautiful.
A canary is harnassed to miniature car.
rage. which is drawn about the stage
with perfect noncLalance. and at the com.
mand Of the Signor disengages itself from
the trapping and file: off to the cage, per.
fectly happy. Another highly interesting
performance is that ofa little canary who
personates Marshal Ne,. and who sits OH
his diminutive horse with the composure
and dignity Of preuz csevaIiey He is
to be executed, and one of his fellow
birds is the executioner. A cannon is
brought out, and the latter at the word
of command, places one of his feet on
match which touches off the piece. and
Marshal Ney falls to the ground. ap.
parently in all the agonies of death. He
lies thus until he is told to get up. when
he trips off to his cage in high gee, chirp.
ing and fluttering about as though proud
Of his performance. Numerous other feats
are performed with equal facility by the
little songsters, and none of our citizens
should allow them to depart before pay
ing them visit.-Picayune, Jan. 26.

PATRIOTIC SENTIMENT.-We give be-
low, the close Of a speech recently deliv-
cred in the House Of Representatives by
MIR. Mcdowell, of Virginia, upon the
slave controversy. The passage has been
much and justly admired:
1t is said, sir, that at some dark hour
of our revolutionary contest. when army
after army had been lost, when disprted,
beaten, wretched, the heart Of the boldest
and faithfulest died within them, and all
for an instant, seemed conquered except
the unconquerable soul of our father-chief,
it is said that at that moment, rising above
all the auguries around him. and buoyed
up by the inspiration of his immortal work
for all the tfials it could bring, he aroused
anew the sunken spirits of his associates
by this confident and daring declaration:
strip me, (said hey of the detected and
suffering remnant of my army-take from
me all that l have left-leave me but a
banner, give me but the means to plant it
upon the mountains of the West Augusta,
and ] will yet draw around me the men
who will lift up their bleeding countryfrom
the dust, and set her Free" Give to me,
who am son and representative here of
that same West Augusta. give to me as a
banner the propitious measure ! have en-
deavored to support, help me to plant it
upon this mountain top of our national
power, and the land Of Washington undi.
vided and unbrokel, will be our lard,
and the land of our children's children
forever. So help me to do this at this
hour, and, generations hence, some future
of the South standing where l stand, in
this same honored Hall, and in the midst
of onr legitimate successors, will bless
and praise, and thank God, tina. he, say
of them, as of you, and of all around
me; These, these are nsy brethren, and
this, this, oh! this too, IS my country,

1t is estimated that six thousand per-
sons or nearly one-ffteenth of the popula-
ton Of Cincinnati have had the smallpox
or varioloid during the last four months. 1t
is spreading to a considerable extent in
Covington and Newport KY. Like the
cholera, it bears a milder form now than
it did in 1928, when it followed in the
wake of that dreadful disease.

THF PARKMAN CASE.

The Boston Herald has the follow
ing additional particulars relating to this
affair:
A few of the developments made before
the Grand Jury relative to this extraordi-
nary case have leaked out, and form the
subject of public comment.
The circumstances of finding in Prof
Websters laboratory the thorax aad one
of the thighs of a human being im5edded
in tan, in tea box, will Of coYrse be
recollected by our readers. A striking
feature calculated to involve the Professor
still more completely in the horrid af-
fair. is among the disclosures recently
made. 1t appears that the tan in which
the remains were found, was brought
from Prof Webster's house in Cambridge,
by MIR. Sawin, the expressman, at the
same time he conveyed the grapevine
cuttings, it has already been stated could
be used burning the body and concealing
the offensive odor. The fact, then, of the
remains being discovered in Prof Web
ster's laboratory, partially charred by
burning-the unusual material used in
consuming them-and above all, the cir
cumstance that the tan in which they
were concealed was brought from the
Professor S own house, at his own request,
form one of the most startling develop
ments duplicating the Professor that has
yet been made public.
We learn that Mrs Bent, who resides
in Cambridgeport, near the bridge, testi-
fed before the grand jury to the fact that
the Professor had called upon her day
or two after the disappearance Of DIR.
Parkman. and asked her if she could
not state that she recognized the Doctor
in passing the bridge? Upon her reply
ing that she did not, he urged her to re-
feet carefully, and discover whether such
a circumstance could not be recalled to
her mind She still insisted upon her
ignorance in the matter, and Prof Web
s,er exclaimed, ALAS. l fear the Doctor
has been murdered"
1t will be recolleced that the toIlman
on the other end of the bridge, has asserted
that the DR.. passed him on the other end
of the afternoon of the day of his disap-
pearance. This was known to the Pro-
fessor, and his effort to induce Mrs. Bent
to make a similar statement for the pur-
pose of corroborating the tollman, would
seem to indicate deeply. laid scheme to
get the impression abroad that the DR..
had passed over the bridge after the Pc
riod of his entering the Medical College
On the night of his arrest, the Professor
requested the officers to take different
course from that III which they were ethen
going, for the purpose of calling on Mrs.
Bent, and interrogated her again or the
subject.
The multitude of witnesses in the case
have given recognizances to appear on
the first Monday in March in the Su-
preme Court, at which time the prisoner
will be arraigned, and the case probably
proceeded with.
The Transcript says:
Ii has been stated, we know not how
correctly. that the grand jury We're unani-
nous in voting the bill. Forty-six wit
nesses were yesterday recognized to ap-
pear at the trial in the Supreme Judicial
Court.

LADY MINERS IN CALIFoRNIA.-Ay young
man from Maine, writing to his friends
from California, says his party found
near the Sacramento, and almost thirty
miles from any other digging two intelli-
gent and beautiful young ladies, with no
attendant except an old gray-headed ne
gro, whom they had enticed to accom-
pany them, and who is the servant of the
father of one of them. The eldest Of
these girls were not twenty. 1t seems
their imaginations had become excited
by the gold stories which they had heard.
and they had determined to try their hands
at making a fortune. The old negro was
past work, and was left III the camp dur
ing the day, to look after the business
affairs, and keep watch, while the girls
pursued their mining operations. When
the party reached their camp, the old
darky was alone in it, but the girls came
in during the day, and received their
visiters Hospitality. They expressed no
fear of being molested or robbed, and said
that they should leave for home when
they had accumulated $4,000; they had
already gathered $1,000. They were
from Florida, and the youngest ran away
from school to enter upon the expedi-
| tion.-N o. Crescent.

FEMALE DocToRs.-Two young ladies,
Miss Almira Fraim and Miss Mary Ward,
have become regular students in the
medical department. of the Memphis In
stitute. Apropos of this, Sanders, of the
Evansville Journal. says:
Just imagine it! You are but fairly
retired, and getting cozy and comfortable,
when rap comes at the door, and the
doctor is called out to see some strange
feILer, who you don't know, and you
may expect to get your nose snapped off
if you ask. The babies squall, and have
the Group till they can't squall any longer,
but the feminine doctor is at other peo-
pies brats, and you are left to the domes-
tic felicity of doctring the babies yourself,
and spanking the older young 'uns, till
daylight and your "helpmate" appear
Other terrible visions of the consequences
to follow on wives being doctors, come
horribly before our eyes. Well be bles-
sed if our wife shall be doctor, and
that's "the word With the bark on it.
Nor will we spark any she doctor!
Pshaw! squeesing hands that have just
been rolling pills and mixing epicac-
looking love into eyes that have just been
gazing at furrowed tongues and disturbed
faces and wasted forms-kissing lips that
a moment before were repeating deep
mysteries in relation to the purges and
vomits. Bah. 1t is perfectly disgusting.
Then to call on your love, and find that
she has just gone to minister TO diseased
flesh. and not for philanthropic motives,
but for filthy lncre-and to meet her, and
know that she has just left bad case of
the smallpox. Angels preserve us from
such angels.

The TARIFF PoLIcY.-A London paper
commenting on Gen. Taylor's Message.
makes the following remarks which we
would commend 20 the serious considera.
ton of those opposed to the protection OF
American labor:
IF Gen. Taylor shall succeed in carry.
ing out his views he will be the greatest
man that America has yet produced aud
the magnificent benefactor Of his country.
The Americans have coal, iron, timber,
and can raise sufficient cotton for the
world. They have exhaustless supplies
of corn and provisions, cheap and fertile
lands, and they have no taxes worth men:
tioning Why, then, should ;hey not
manufacture for themselves? Why should
cotton be brought four thousand miles to
England, to be spun and woven in Lanca-
shire, and be carried some three or four
thousand miles more to the United States
to be consumed? We cannot see any
reason for it. 1t is true that England
has had the start in manufactures, but
what right has she to expect TO be always
first in the race? The Americans are not
only justified in protecting their own in
terests, but, as the President says, it is
the right and duty of Congress to en-
courage domestic industry, which is the
great source of national wealth and pros.
perity Sounder policy wasnever broach-
ed-truer words never were uttered.
