THE OMNIBUs.-The New York Commercial,
alluding to the fact that omnibuses originated
in Paris, thus alludes to the character of vehi-
cles now in use in that city: 1.-THE space be-
tween the seats in the Partisan omnibuses is
wide enough for passengers to sit Uis-a-vis with.
out jamming each others knees. Hand-rails
are fixed on each side along the roof, so as to
render passage through this space compare
tVely easy, even when the stage is full. AT
least half of the seats are divided by arms, so
that the taking in one passenger of corpulent
dimensions does not encroach upon and incom-
mode the whole row of persons on the side on
which he may sit and by an arrangement be-
tween the proprietors of the different lines
passengers are transferred from one omnibus
to another, and change their route for single
fare"

CHEss.-A Cincinnati paper states that Mr..
Lowenthal, a noted Hungarian chess player of
that city, is on his way to London, to take
to come off there for G500.
In allusion to this player, the New Orleans
Bee says:
I" Mr. Lowenthal is a very great chess-player
lie was in New Orleans about a year ago, and
wrested the laurels from some of the finest mas
ters of the game. But strange to say, he was
beaten by youth of twelve years, who but a
few months previous had never played game.
The youth in question-Master Mx****-is n
son of highly respectable citizen of New Or
leans, himself an enthusiastic amateur of the
noble game of chess. The boy was accustomed
to look over the board while his father was play
ing. As soon as he comprehended the moves,
he began to play. He first beat his father then
his uncle--a player of remarkable force then,
in a contest with Rosseau--a chess champion OF
the South-hc gained signal advantage; and
| finally he amazed Lowenthal himself by winning
from him majority in given series of games.
lie has, perhaps, the most wonderful genius for
chess ever witnessed. At his tender age, he
may be considered first rate chess player. His
movements are prompt, astonishingly accurate,
and the result of close and vigilant combination.
He solves problems with amazing facility None
of the mysterious intricacies of these enigmas
however involved and numerous the moves
battle his concentrated and patient attention.
If he continues advancing in force as he grows
older, he will become the wonder of the age
ere he attains manhood

day the Professor of Logic was endeavoring to
substantiate that thing remains the same,
Notwithstanding substitution in some of its
parts. Our friend, who had been exercising
the Yankee art of whiting, at length held up
his jackknife and asked
"S'pose / should lose the blade Of my knife
and should get another made in its place, would
it be the same knife it was before?"
"To be sure" replied the Professor.
"Well, then," he continued, "s'pose should
then lose the handle and get another, would it
be the same still?"
"Of course" the Professor again replied.
But if somebody should find the old blade
and the old handle, and put them together

CAUGHT A TARTAR.--lt is a fact worthy of
record, that females are very seldom molested
while passing through our streets alone in the
evening. An exception to the general rule,
however, occurred on Thursday evening last.
A female, who resides on River street, was re-
turning home alone, about nine o'clock, when
she was overtaken by man who, she says,
used insulting language, at which she felt
greatly incensed without giving him any spe-
cial warning, she flew" at him seizing him
by the throat with one hand, and using the
other to the best of her knowledge and ability,
she caused the blood to flow freely. He, be-
coming alarmed, cried Justify for "help !" but
no help came to his assistance. Two or three
persons were aroused by his cries and proceeded
to the scene of action but finding his case in
a fair way of being disposed of satisfactorily
without their assistance they did not interfere.
When allowed to depart, he did so in amanner
which would have done credit to a racer. f@e''

MORE LIGHT sTILL.-Groups of little folks
are focking to Mr.. Gray's Bookstore to examine
the specimens deposited there by young hands
for letting their light shine. A great desire is
evidently awakened among the generous young
spirits at the /" heart of the nation" TO aid in
producing pulsations which may be felt in all
its parts even to its utmost extremities. They
will doubtless soon find returning pulsations
adding to the power of their own. Already
some specimens of Mechanism, from the sInsti-
tuition for the Blind" in the city of New York,
are added to the beautiful work prepared espe-
clally Tor the use OF foreign ministers, United
States Senators, and other government func-
tionares Of our Republic, by the pupils of Miss
Nlilburn and others, which have followed. From
present appearances nearly all the Senators Of
the United States and various other members Of
Congress will have forwarded to them, by young
hands in Washington, maps of their States re-
spectively, and other specimens of skill and i'm
provement. BY such operations, generous, noble
young spirits forget that hot weather enervates
the energies both of their mind and hand, as
both are brought into vigorous action for their
own improvement, under their animated efforts
in aiding the improvement of others. Mr.. Gray
takes pleasure in exhibiting and explaining
specimens deposited, to the groups of young
folks, with their teachers and parents calling
to see them. All who deposite specimens or
the high satisfaction that they will thus 'let
their light shine" Yours, II.

four carpenters, one stone-cutter, and one mill

their departments for more than twenty years.

terian church, Cincinnati Gazette. ..a..

We deprccate the existence of Slav-

gladly see it abolished, if il could be
done with any degree Of safety TO the
Union, and proper regard TO that por-
ton OF our citizens at the South who

to permit his passions TO ensavc his
Judgment that his reason will become

him IN all his rights and privileges. All
the recent commotion and trouble on

excited abolitionsts at the North, and q

and all true Americans will gladly con-
tribute their part towards the glorious

strike a traitorous blow, and palsied bc

ious sentiment against that Union, which
Is ofsuch inestimable value and which
