Among the glittering gems which spangle the
wonderful eloquence of the illustrious Kossuth,
is the following in his address to the ladies' of
Pittsburgh:
(" Love is the vivfying spirit of the universe
Love is the element fthe heart-Love is nev-

this vivifying element over the cause of freedom
on earth. One smile from your sparkling eyes

black-and slightly thin on top. Moustaches
and whskers large and particularly the
latter, does not shave at all, face oval and good,
complexion brunette, but no darker than half
the Americans. Eyes large and deep, clear blue,
very fine and expressive. He would appear
much better if he shaved his moustaches and
half his whiskers-has too much beard for his
face. When in flesh will, perhaps, weigh hum
bred and thirty pounds. He must have been
rather handsome when young-stands erect.

"DoING" THE CAPTAIN GENERAL.-One of the
"cutest" of the Cuban Patriots, who was taken
in arms in the late unfortunate invasion of the
Island, determined to fight his way out of prison
"on his own hook" and sharp one it was too
as will shortly appear. He wrote divers of
hand, familiar letters, to numerous eminent poll
ticians of the United States, and placing them
where he knew they would be overhauled by the
Spanish police the bait took, and Major Kelly,
the intimate friend of Mr. Secretary Webster,
was forthwith released and sent home. The

LOVE MORE LOYAL THAN FRIENDSHIP.
The birds, when winter shades the sky,
Fly DER the seas away, -
Where laughing isles in sunshine lie.
And summer breezes play. tual
And thus the friends that futter near.
While fortunes sun IS warm,
Are startled If a cloud appear,
And fly before the storm.
But when from winters bowling plains
Each other warbler's past, .,.l
The little snow-bird still remains,
And chirrups midst the blast.
LOVE, like that bird, when Friendships throng
With fortunes sun depart;
Still fingers with its cheerful song,
And nestles on the heart

The Knickerbocker Magazine, edited by Louis
Gaylord Clark, will commence its 39th volume with
the number for January, 1852. With the New Vol
ume the price will be reduced from Five to Three
Dollars year. or 25 cents per number. The con-
tents of the Knickerbocker are entirely original,
and its character is sufficiently established to rem
der any remarks upon 1t unnecessary. The pub
Usher has been led to reduce the price of subscrip-
ton from knowledge of the fact that thousands
who wished to read the Knickerbocker were kept
from its perusal solely on account of the expense,
and he believes that many more who purchase
without regard to quality, SO much as quantity,
will by low price be induced to become acquain-
ted with Knickerbocker, and thus become its
steady patrons. There will be no change in the
form, size or character of the Magazine except
change always continued for the better. The terms

IMPORTANT DECISION ON THE REVENUE LAWS
The United States Supreme Court, just pre-
vious to its recent adjournment, decided that the
58th and 59th sections of the act of the I'd
March, 1899, as regards rates of tare and allow
ance for leakage are not in force under the tariff
act of 1916. The National Intelligencer SAYS :
"Under this decision, in future, no allowance
beyond actual tare can be made in estimating the
quantity subject to duty of any VEGETABLE arti-
Gle, and the allowance of two per cent on liquids
for prospective leakage will also be disallowed,
but any leakage during the voyage of importa-
ton will still be subject to deduction from the
dutisble value
" The same decision also declares that the
construction put by the Treasury Department
upon the revenue laws, as regards the imposi-
ton OF duty, is binding until reversed by judicial
proceeding; and that no claim can be made for
return OF duties under such treasury construc.
non unless the parties, at the time of entry, made
protest specially stating the ground of obiec-
ton"
