A PalpubIe Hit.


A literary correspondent Of the
National Intelligencer. in reviewing
a recent book by French writer
named Houssaye, says:
It would seem as if he had raked
up the ashes Of the dead in hopes OF
finding in them their 'wonted fires;'
he goes through the annals Of gener-
ations long extinct, picking up as he
passes along all the 'chronique scan-
daleuse' that men on their death-beds
hope will be inferred with their bones
"a pious wish, however, which will
never be gratifed as long as there are
feuilletons to be written by Hous-
saye, or sermons to be preached by
a Rev. Theodore Parker.
The same writer plays off his wit,
both original and borrowed, with sue
cess, upon the love of fashion which
characterizes French ladies:
In the middle of the 18th century
the ladies all encased their bodies in
whalebone, and inflated their petit
coats with hoops; but ST. Pierre con-
ceived his paul and Virginia. and
straightway the ladies Of Paris ar
raved themselves in white muslin
gowns and wore straw hats. At the
commencement o. Louis XIV's reign
the hair had been trained 10 stand E.
rect, and was stiffened then to stand
alone with powder and pomatum;
the cOifeurs had 10 mount step>lad>
ders in order properly TO dress these
tricopherous pyramids. But the
young Queen Antoinette was taken
sick Of a fever and lost all her hair.
The fact was no sooner known than
every lady appeared with flat head.
During the rage for liberty under the
Republic, the ladies dressed their
heads after the style of antique busts
and adopted the scant drapery of an
cient statues. The Directory having
declared that TO bear children for the
State was the duty Of every French
woman, in order to fill up the gaps
in society left by the guillotine and
the noyddes, every lady instantly as
pired with more than Hebrew ardor
to win the honors due TO maternity;
and, instead of the tenuity OF figure
which had been before the despera-
ton Of the sex, they affected sig
nifcant embOnpoint which gave pat
riotic promise to the country.

POETRY.
BY RoBr. II. THOMPSON.


rull twenty years ago, stood
In yonder old church yard,
Near by the little running brook,
With its limestone bed so hard.
And there beneath the grateful shade,
OF On ancient willow tree,
lknelt beside sisters grave
A sister dear to me.
Together we had sweetly played,
In Springs bright glsdsome hours;
Together we had often strayed,
in search Of woodland flowers.
And oft we'd sat upon the banks,
OF that clear crystal stream;
And laughed to see IFS waters dance,
Joyous as "love's young dream"
But now that little streamlet's dry,
And has been many year;
Its music soft as lovers sigh,
No more euehants the ear.
Bright fowrets bloom upon the sward,
Their fragrance fll the air:
But could NOT enjoy them now,
We're they "ffty times as fair"
Pm wandering through the world alone,
My hearts no longer gay;
The cherished ones / fondly loved,
From earth have passed away.
But why should their loss deplore?
Or let it cause me pain?
For when the righteous die, we're told
They4eap eternal gain.

FILLING TEETH OYER rxposRp NRnvxs

FILLING TEETH OVER EXPOSED Nerves.
DIR. s. P. Hullihen. Of Wheeling, Va,
has discovered method whereby the
cavities of teeth over exposed nerves
may be successfully plugged u3. Il 10
this:-The diseased parts of the tooth
are removed to make it apparent that the
nerve is exposed The fangis then per.
forated through the gum into the herve
cavity. Tbs opening should be of about
the size OF a small knitting needle; its
object is to open the blood vessels Of the
nerve, which will at once be known by
the flow OF arterial blood. The cavity
Of the tooth may then be filled without
the least fear of pain or i'll consequen-
ces. The plan has been successfully
praciised in a great number of cases.
Hitherto a tooth having an exposed
nerve could not be filed and prevent
pain and tooth-ache.

STORM IN GREEcE.-We find the
following account Of a'siorm at A
thens, in our late foreign news:
The Observateur d. Afhenes Of the
9th ult., says, terrific storm, such
as has not occurred at Athens within
the memory Of man, nor perhaps for
a thousand years, ragged on the pre-
vious night. Its violence may be
Judged from the fact that one Of the
columns Of the Temple Of Jupiter
Olympus, which all travellers admire,
near to the Adrian gate, has been
raised up and overthrown, and its
enormous fragments now cover the
earth. Huge cypress trees were torn
I'D from their roots by the wind, and
the destruction caused in and around
Athens must be immense.

PRESIDENT FIILMoRB.-Truly Y,
says the New Orleans Bulletin, has
Mr.. Fillmore deserved, since bis
accession to the Chief Magistracy,
the applause OF all righteous men
and good citizens. That applause
he is now receiving; and when he
lays down the robes and cares Of
office, the general murmur Of ad-
and gratitude, will be heard
and felt in every section of our wide
spread Union. Upon the sun Of
his Presidential career there is hardly
a speck. Not blemish rests upon
his personal escutcheon. There is
no taint in his patriotism-which is
as pure as it is comprehensive-as
national as il is fervent. As a pub
lie servant, as a private citizen, the
maxim: "Let all the ends thou aim'st
at be thy country's, thy Gods, and
truths" has been his guiding star
the leading incentive of his action.
The severe trials TO which he has
been subjected have only served to
bring out in stronger relief the noble
points of his admirable character,
just as fine gold shows all the better
the more fiery the ordeal. Is it any
wonder, then, that so pure patriot,
so spotless a gentleman, so able,
and disinterested a Presi-
dent, should receive the applauding
acclaims OF the virluous, the intelii-
gent and the goodl None at all.

The American wIGe or Jerome Bsnaparss.
The Paris Univsrs-a journal de-
voted 10 Louis Napoleon, and which
is anxious to exalt all those who are
in any way connected with the Ma.
poleon family-givss the following
account Of Miss Patterson, of Balli-
more, subsequent to her marriage
with Jerome and after Napoleon had
insisted that she should be repudiated
for royal bride:
But she at last learned that the
Senate had pronounced her divorce.
and that the King OF Westphalia, (Je-
rome) had married. on the 18th Of
August, 1907, the Princess Caiha-
rine, Of Wuriemburg. She then re-
signed herself 10 returning sorrowful-
ly 10 America, with he- son. She
claimed divorce from the Legisla-
ture Of the State of Maryland; but al
though sought in marriage by veal

the honor 10 bear the name Of Bona.
parte, she could not change il.
The lady is now sixty-seven years
Of age, and she has preserved, in re-
markable degree, traces Of her early
beauty. She is celebrated for the
delicate and minute care which she
takes OF her person, her complexion
and her hands; she never takes of her
gloves, except at the last extremity,
and is rarely seen without a Yeil.-
The History OF the Dynasty Of Napo-
leon thus speaks of her: "Opulent,
highly distinguished by education and
manners, and gifted with qualities
which have partially rendered her
happiness independent OF others, she
has passed long, serene and useful
life; and she now, in the evening Of
her days, thinks that fortune was not
so adverse TO her by depriving her Of
a diadem in Europe
The history OF the family TO which
she is allied, recalls the line Of Shak,
speare, "Uneasy lies the head that
wears a CROWN" and in the times !n
which we live, this especially is the
case. Independently Of the pleasures
of affection, which she enjoys as
mother and grandmother, Madame
Bonaparie is on the best terms with
her two brothers, Joseph and Edward
Patterson, both of whom possess
large fortunes and charming families.
Her son, Jerome Napoleon Bonas
parte, at present aged as, made a
very rich marriage, which renders
him one of the most important per-
sonages OF Maryland. He has a
passion for books, for travelling and
Tor agriculture. He has cleared vast
forests; he has applied with inielli.
gence in his agricultural experiments,
all the discoveries oil modern science,
and he confines his ambition 10 pro-
ducing the finest crops in the couns
try. He resided for long time in
France. under the Restoration. He
worships and almost sdores the men,
ory Of the Emperor; and in his splen.
did residence at Baltimore, statues,
portraits and busts produce Napoleon
at all ages and in every form. But
he allies to this sentiment o certain
republican Independence. a legiti.
mate pride; and since the I'd Decem-
ber, he has opposed with all his force
the desire OF his son to visit France.

CurIous Experiment.

The New York Tribune states that
curious results are obtained in that
city from a very simple application
Of the nervous fluid, animal magnet
ism, or whatever be the agency, to
brute matter. Let party Of six or
eight persons sit around a common
pine table for twenty minutes to
half an hour, with the palms of the
hands held fiat on the top of the
table; it is not necessary that their
minds should pay any attention to
the process, or the ordinary CONVEX
sation be suspended; but presently
the table becomes so charged with
the mysterious fluid that it begins to
move; then rise from it, push away
your chairs, still holding your hands
near, though it is not necessary to
touch it, and il will turn around Fl ON
end to end, and even proceed rapidly
about the room, without any visible
agent, on which excursions the per-
sons must bear it company, or the
current is broken and the movement
stops. This simple experiment may
easily be tried, it requires no faith
and no outlay Of physical or moral
strength; and the result, with table
that is not too heavy, is pretty sure
to follow. The fact, when scientifi-
cally established. must throw light
on the obscurities Of Mesmerism,
Spiritual Manifestations, and all that
unexplored class Of phenomena.
The election of General Pierce
will defeat all hope Of extending
protection TO American industry,
without which it is impossible that
our manufacturers can thrive, or
American labor be adequately re-
paid. In Blackwood's Magazine Of
July, this fact is boastingly set forth:
"The manufacturers Of America
cannot exist under competition with
England; without a higher tariff
and the simple question is, ,chcther
the manufacturers shall cease or not"
"Well, wha: of III" exclaims an
especially patriotic "Democrat." 81
am ready, for the sake Of Office, to
break down American prosperity,
and persuade every Irishman TO
keep on voting for the Free Trade
ticket, so that, (as the London Times
says,) he may truly become a con-
sumer Of English fabrics"
