THE .JUDICI4R

: Wa copy below from the Alexandria Gazette
some excellent remarks. which will commend
themselves to the sober nseand approval of
the community. 1t will be seen that the
.erinined robe has not as yet beenstained by the
incubation Of false dogmas and teachings: bu:
almost every where judges have declared their
confidence in their government, and have as
serted their intention, as far as depended upon
them to enforce the laws. The Gazette says:
In the civil conflicts which have taken place
since the improper and wicked agitation of
questions connected with slavery and the rights
of the south by northern agitatorsand ineen-.
diares--conficts which have rocked the bat
dement's of the Government and threatened
to topple them in ruins upon our heads-it is
with pride and pleasure that we have witnessed
the noble stand everywhere taken in defence
of the Constitution and the Laws by the JUDI-
cTARY Of the country. Although its action is
not frequently brought before the notice of
the people, and although the sphere Of its
movements is above and beyond the region of
party, its influence has been potent. Men must
and viii regard with peculiar degree of re-
spect the opinions and Judgments of those into
whose hands the scales of justice have been
placed, and who have heretofore held them
with unerFing Fectitude and undertaking deyo-
ton to truth.
Everywhere the Judges of the United States.
and in many of the States the State judges, in
their charges to the grand juries, and IN their
decisions from the bench, have taken pains to
ineuIcate the most conservative principles, and
to urge the strictest adhereance to the law, in
which il involved the recognition of our rights
They have uniformly rebnked the spirit Of fa-
natieism, and appealed to their common sense
and patriotism to dfscouutenance agitation.
They' have expounded and explained The pro-
visions Of the law,swhieh has been most fiercel
ly assailed, and showed how censenant they
are to the Constitution Their words have
been words of ofswisdom, and all their thoughts
peace. And all this has been done with 4 se-
renity. a ealmness, a firInness, which carried
conviction of their sincerity and confidence in
their Judgment.
Honor, then, TO the judicarpl May It always
hold, as it does now, the affections of the peo-
Ipis, knit to it by ties of the closest kind May
its preeepts continue to be cherished, and It's
advice followed May the lessons il teaches
be regarded with reverence and sick deep into
| the mind Of every citizen who cherishes q wish
for The preservation Of our glorious Union.

Images of God.


9 BY THE REv.JAs. GILBoRNE LYONS, L. L. I
Not from the noble quarry,
Nor from 'he wealthy mine.
Shalt thou bring images of God,
To deck his house, or shrine:
Carrara's marble mountains
: Before his faee are dim,
The purest god that Sibir Yields
Recoils abashed at him.
Canovs's art and clisel
Could faultIess beauty giye: =
His glowing thought and magic touch
Could make dead marble live;
For him lostnymphs and.heroes
Would from heroHgh block spring.
But weak was all Canosa's skill
To frame the seraph's. king.
In stone Of snowy whiteness
And precious ores ofeearth;
Triumphant genius carves or moulds
All shapes of human birth;
. He calls Up forms and features
Which never yet have been,
Butyainly viii he toll or think
70 stow-the GREAT UNSEEN.
If thou wouldsf find his likeness.
Search where the loYly dwell;
: The faithful few that keep his laws
Not boastfully, bat we'll; Z es
Mark those who walk rejoicing \
The way which Jesus trod, =
Thus only shalt thou see below
FIR IMAGES OF Goa!

The Arabs Farewell to his Guest.
ALA bless thee, gentle stranger,
Through the deserts path of danger,
Save thee from the lightning,s glance,
From the prowling robbers lance,
From the sandy columns heap,
From the fiery Simoon's sweep;
ALA bless thee!
Then fare thee vel, and with thee bear
The Arabs wish--the Arabs prayer.
When the stars in heaven are glowing,
When the gales of night are blowing,
When thou liest by the spring,
When their shade the date trees fling,
And thy patient camel sleeps,
And thy dog his nightlwateh keeps,
ALA bless theel
And round thy couch thy visions bear
The Arabs wish--the Arabs prayer.

ARTIFICIAL CoAL.--Inthe French Acad-
envy Of Sciences, some interesting expert
ments have been made in producing min
eral coal by an artificial process, which it
is expected will throw much light on the
subject Of geology.-Wood is. put into an
iron or glass cylinder. and closed against
any escape of air and applied to a heat Of
GOO. The result has been, that the wood
was melted and reduced to mineral coal.
Old wood of.dry fibre produced dry coal;
but young wood, -orsthat which was put in
vet, produced giutinous coal.

CoTToN..--How many acres aresactually PLAN

00e 000 which allows sepen acres TO yield an
average Of three bags of 400 pounds each. We
are welkaware that there are several States, in
which The average is much above our figures;
but we may say, from What is esteemed good
authority thatihe rich cotton lands Of Arkansas,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, are less GER
tain in their returns than the less fertile soils of
Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.
The census Of 1870 shows that 100000

The Hillsdale standard. [volume] (Hillsdale, Mich.) 1851-1909, 1851-09-16
Narcisco Lopez-The Finale.

Most the papers contain brief and unsat-
isfactory biographical sketches of this unfortu
Gate man. We copy that printed 10 the Alba
ny Journal, as the most succinct ana intelligi-
bic of all that have come under our notice:
Gen Lopez was born in Venezuela 10 1899.
His father was merchant al Caracas, the son
having charge Of branch Of his establishment
at Talentia. in 1914. when that place was Ia
ken after desperate struggle by the patriots.
Young Lopez distinguished himself in deieu-
ding the town, and after the surrender, escaped
by the aid Of servants in the night. and imme-
diately Joined the Army Of Old Spain as pri-
vaie. He served calamity, il is said, until the
war terminated in 1928, by the success of Boil
liver. having attained The rank OF Colonel oi
Cavalry. When the Spanish Authorities and
Army evacuated. Col. Lopez went with them
to Cuba, where he married and established
himself in business.
Some years afterwards, when in Spain to
obtain restriction Of moneys arbitrarily taken
from his family by the Cuban Government, he
took an active part at Madrid, with the people,
against the re -estsuIlsnment OF the power oi
Don Carlos and absolutism for which he was
appointed Aid decamp Of Gen. Veldez, latter
wards Captain General ofCuba,) whose friend
ship he always enjoyed. He was subsequent
ly appointed to the command Of the National
Guards. which post he retained until his re-
turn to Cuba, having accomplished the object
OF his mi ssion.
Before leaving Madrid, however, Gen Lo-
pez had been appointed Senator from the
city Of Seville. La this position he had seen
much to disgust him with the Government,
aud after the expulsion Of the Cuban Delegates
from their seats in the Cores, he resolved on
an effort to revoutionize Cuba.
Upon resignng his Senatorship, the Gov
ernment for some time refused him csTmission
to return to Cube. FiGaiiy, however, in 1929.
when he aid return. his hiead, Gen. Veldez,
was Captain General of the Island. This cir
cumstance led him to postpone his movements,
though his purpose remained unchanged.-
The subsequent downfall OF Espartero, (an-
other friend Of Lopez,) led to the recall OF
Gen. Valdez, leaving him free to commence
his operations. He Immediately resigned his
place as Governor Of Trinidad and President of
the Military Commission, which he received
from We ldez; and while apparently engaged in
working copper mine, was for years really
at work to undermine those whom he held 10
be tyrants and oppressors.
In l84S, Lopez supposed that his arrange
men's were such as to justify an open demon
straton. But while waiting for Information n
from America, his plans wero discovered by
the Government, his friends were arrested, aud
he fed to this country, where for the last
three years he has been prosecuting his design
of overthrowing the Government Of Cuba.
