FANNY ELLsLER has recently returned from
Moscow to Vienna. Her professional campaign
in this ancient capital of the Cars must have
gratifed her as much as any of her triumphs in
our large cities. Her performances at Moscow
were twenty-five, with golden harvest. Be
sides garlands and bouquets, composed of the
costliest hot-house flowers, white pigeons were
thrown on the stage Her horses were taken
from her carriage, and the goddess was drawn
by her admirers to her splendid apartments.
Rich carpets were spread in the street where
she was to alight She is about to. retire from
the stage to her princely domain, in Syria.

A PROMPT ANswER.-The proposal in your
paper OF Thursday last, for the young spirits
OF Washington and elsewhere to furnish speci-
mems OF their improvement for the Brazilian
minister to take with him on his visit home,
was answered on Friday by the presentation of
several maps of South America, and one of the
District OF Columbia, from Primary School No.
8, In the fourth district, in charge of Miss A.
Milburn. Though done by pupils ten years
OLD, and all the work of yesterday, they show
skill worthy of older hands; atfording not only
specimens OF drawing but excellent exercises
IN writing, spelling, geography, and practical
morals. Such instruction, greatly extended and
varied by Miss NJ, has rendered truants en-
urely unknown in her school, as | am informed
though her pupils had previously been some
what noted in that way. She received valu-
able Christmas present from the parents of one
OF her pupils, accompanied by a note, express
ing thanks for the interest she had given their
son in his studies, and stating that, before he
had come under instructions, they had found it
exceedingly difficult to secure his attendance at
school; but since then, just as difficult to keep
him from school, or from his studies while at
home.
The specimens, rs proposed, are left at the
bookstore Of Mr.. Austin Gray, three doors above
the office of the american Telegraph. With
them is a drawing of the Emperor of Brazil
and of his two sisters, executed by young girl
in New York school, to be sent to that coun-
try. Mr.. Gray, in his usual politeness, will
take great pleasure in showing these specimens
to teachers parents, children wishing to see
| them also to take charge of others which may
be handed in, to be sent with these for the ben
eft Of Brazilian schools. Ii.

LARvA OF THE SEVENTEEN YEAR LOCUST
(Cicada Septena-decem. DIR. EVERETT, of the
Patent Office, has presented to US branch of
pine, in which the eggs of the locust have been
deposited. The secretion of the pine where it
has been pierced to deposite these eggs has q
foam-like appearance, from the action of the
larva on it. Many pine-trees now show dozen
or more of such foamy spots The eggs of the
insect are usually Matched in fifteen or sixteen
days, when they change to the second condi-
ton, that Of larya in few days afterwards
these drop to the ground, and commence their
seventeen years pilgrimage in the earth, bur.
rowing down by the roots of trees, from two tc
three feet deep.

THE New CosTUME.-We thank fair friend
for the following description. She says: GAS

the new style Of dress about to be introduced
into general wear, permit me briefly to describe
it. The pantalets, from the waist down to the
ankles, are cut quite full, terminating in band
three inches wide, from which a rufie of pro-
portionate depth falls over the feet. The body
of the frock must fit tight and the skirts extend
to the knee. The head-dress is neatly ar
ranged turban, of fine material encrcled with
q string Of pearls. Red slippers complete the
costume; and | can assure you, that, with the
white RULED pantalets nicely starched the

TO tie Editors:
GENTLEMEN-You will see by this the fit is on
me again, and that l take to the pen to relieve
it. This time | send you "nothiag neec'-a
piece of ARTIFICIAL MARBLE nearly taoo thousand
years old, taken by myself from the floor of
Diomede's house, in Pompeii, which city was
destroyed by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius,
covering the city to depth of thirty feet with
scoria, pummice, and ashes. 1t is evident this
piece of stone is artificial, as piece of ancient
tile is embedded in it, and coloring matter is
mixed with it. This artificial marble forms the
pace of the centre court, near the empIinum and
subject to the action Of the water and muta-
tons Of dryness and humidity. This marble
composes the walls, (inner,) floors, &C., of the
Pompeiian baths. For description refer the
inquiring to Bulwers " Last Days of Pompeii, !"
a book so correctly describing this disentombed
city that / recommend it to all travellers as the
best itinerary to Pompeii.
Yours, truly, w. D. PORTER.

DEATH OF ROBERT E. HoRNoR.-A very ex-
tensive circle of friends and acquaintance,
reaching, perhaps, to every State in the Union,
will regret to learn that ROBERT E. HoRNoR,
Doorkeeper of the United States House of Rep
resentatives, died at Queenston, near Prince
ton, on Thursday afternoon, about half-past
two o'clock. His disease was consumption.
His health has been rapidly failing since last
winter, and especially since the adjournment
of Congress. For the last six weeks he has
been confined to his room and his bed. Although
the failure of his health has been apparently SO
rapid, he disclosed on his deathbed the fact that
he had discovered, two years ago, tho insidious
but sure approach of the disease of which he
died. He began at that time to make prepare
tons for his death with SO much promptitude,
and pursued the work so steadily, that when,
at last, it became known to others that he was
near his end, they were astonished at the calm
ness, the frmness, the cheerfulness, and the
christian resignation with which he met his
fate. Busy, indeed, had been his life, and in
Vulnerable seemed to be his holds upon earthly
affairs He relinquished them all, apparently
without struggle, and declared that they held
no longer any control over his affections or
thoughts. He was i'll the 5fst year of his age

BUSINESS AT DUNKIRK.-The Dunkirk Jour
nal says the amount of business on the Erie
Railroad is increasing daily, and considerable
freight is offering from different points on the
Lakes. Merchandise arrives freely from Buff
falo for Cattaraugus and Allegany counties.
The first shipment Of cattle from Chautauque
county, for the New York market, was made
on Monday, the 18th instant, and the same
train took a lot from Ohio. The Journal adds,
under the caption Of - strange sight," never
were we so forcibly reminded of the great rev.
olution which has taken place in the manner of
doing business between the Lakes and New
York city, as on Monday last, on witnessing
the arrival of a large number of passengers by
the Walbridge line Of steamers from Buffalo to
take the cars for New York. Strange as this
appears, it is nevertheless reality, and one
that can be practised to advantage
