AZURE produced what man could not invent,
~ But man created, the worlds content;
A fountain bursts upon the public eye
Amusement selzes all that passes by.
Thy "Nowing Fountain" invented for our use,
is made to hit the pocket and to hold the juice;
Encompassed in case of gold or silver,
Designed to suit the taste of every beholder.
What Tourist would not substitute in place.
The rude nkstand and ruder case?
The "Pen' within whose gittering barrel lies
precious "I'lhy Fou'H," that neverdies.
And still we hesitate as we'er marching on,
Doubling OF no there is not mischefin't
That some good nothing man
Is practising his slight of hand
Now gentle reader trust in me-
This "Inky Fount' is all you see
There's no deception any where,
1t flows as Tree as crystal air
AT the Richmond Mandatory, corner of Main and
Eleventh. you will find Pens and SDecoc.s Tnes and
Fountains manufactured at the South and the first in tbe
land Falter not but come forward and help if YOU can

identity has not been made out, elm
ploycd lacknnn at the Park to take
him to tho Fulton Ferry. On their
way down. tho person stopped the
hacknan at the Herald, Office, and
asked him to deliver u package. The
hackman did as he was requested, and
left in the Herald Office small
round box. Tho box was subsequent.
ly handed to Mr.. Bennett, the editor OF
the Herald 1t was, as is said, mark
cd rs follows ''Nativc silver and

with letter inside tho box. For
James Gordon Bennett, proprietor
and editor. Office, n. w. corner of
Fulton and Nassau streets. Private
and with care" Accompanying the
box was card, an which was prin-
ted with pen rs follows: "Scnor
V. Alcazor, of Cuba, for Mr.. Bennett,
who will call on his return to
the city" The outer envelope being
removed, the following inscription
was read: Specimens and private
documents from the interior of Havana
for Mr.. Bennett (nnly.) Should he be
out of town, keep for him. Island of
Cuba, September, 1852"
AS the box could not be readily
opened, Mr.. Hudson, one OF the cdi-
tors of the Herald, who was present,
made an incision with n knife, when
some black grains of some hard sub
stance rolled out upon his desk. These
grains proved to be powder, and
subsequent investigation proved that
the paper box contained q quantity of
explosive powder, pellets Of paper and
friction matches, SO placed as to
ignite when the cover of tho box was
turned round. 1t is supposed that
mischief was intended, though none
resulted from the torpcdo.-N.

1t is said that about 100000 in
