The gum is picked in very large sacks of leath-

French and English merchants. Gum is highly
lnutricious. During the whole time of harvest, OF
the journey and OF the fair, the Moors of the de-
sert live almost entirely upon it; and experience
has proved that six ounces of gum are sufficient
for the support of man twenty four hours

THE RECOLLECTION.

BT SHELLEY
We wandered to the pine forest,
That skirts the ocean foam,
The Iightest wind was in its nest,
The tempest in its home.
The whispering waves were half asleep,
The clouds were gone to play.
And on the bosom Of the deep,
The smile heaven lay;
I, seemed as if the hour were one
Sent from beyond the skies,
Which scattered from above the scD
\ light otparadise.
We paused amid the pines thai stood.
The giants OF ihe waste,
Tortured dY storms 10 shapes as rude
As serpents interlaced.
And soothed by every azure breath,
That under heaven is blown,
To harmonies and hues beneath,
AS tender as its own:
Now all the tree tops lay asleep.
Like green waves on tue sea,
As still as in the silent deep
The ocean woods may be
How Calm II waS.--tbe silence there
by such chain was bound,
That even the busy wood -pecGer
Made stiIler by her sound
The inyioiab!e quieiness.
The breath OF peace we drew
With It's soft made nor less

Correspondence of the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, June 18th, 1876;


The Mission to France, Is yet to be filled. 1t is
said tha, Mr.. Davis, Secretary of Warts urging
Gen. Dix tor this place. This rumor is hardly pro.
bable. 1t is understood that Gov. Marcy would
1t at all refuse the offer of this mission; his pre-.
sent relations with some of the members of the
Cabinet, are said TO be not OF the most pacific
character; hence his Willingness, perhaps anxiety,
to change his present position.
In the event of the change indicated, Gen Caleb
Gushing, Attorney General-will, it is generally
believed, GO into the Premiership, and Charles
O'Conner, Esq.,, of New York, receive the appoint.
ment of Attorney General.
The people Of Washington and Baltimore, are
congratulating themselves the prospective re-
duciion in the Railroad fare between the two cities
The fare is will be, reduced after the Both prox.
limo, from 81 50 to 81 25 single passage; round
tickets, from 81 to 81 so. This new regulation
will doubtless have favorable effect upon the re.
venues of the Company.
Upwards of six hundred buildings will be put up in
Washington, this season, so am credibly informed.
Our mech anics have as much as they can attend
to, and we believe, an addition of few more to

: THE BLACK SWAN In LONDON.

The fair III Ethiopian does not seem to have
given very general satisfaction TO the London
musical public. At least, so we judge from
the following critique which we take from the
London Chronicle of June LIST:
We ought TO state at once that Miss E. T.
Greenfield is the coiored lady-the protege of
Mrs. Beecher Stowe-some account of whose
vocal performances at Stafford House was
lately published in this journal. The fortu.
nate negro soprano gave yesterday-or rather,
perhaps, had given for her-a concert at the
Hanover square Rooms, where, of course, she
was as a matter OF curiosity, the principal
centre of attraction, TO the temporary eclipse
of Pischek and Gardoni, both Of whom sung
upon the occasion. The list of patronesses OF
the concert of Miss Greenfield, placed at the
head of The programme yesterday, is as fol>
lows:
Her Grace the Duchess of Sutherland, he,
Grace the Duchess OF Norfolk, her Grace the
duchess Of Beaufort, her Grace the Duchess
of Argyll, the Most Noble the Marchoness Of
Aiiesbury, the Most Noble the Marquis OF
Lannsdowne. the Earl and Countess of Shafts
bury, the Earl of Carlisle, the Countess of Jer
sey, the Countess Granville, the Countess Of
Wilton, the viscountess Palmerston, the Lad,
Constance Grosvenor, and Mrs. Harriet Beech
er Stowe.
Under such auspices the debutante could
hardly fail OF securing fashionable audience
for the reserved seats. while curiosity filled the
other benches. Miss Greenfield sang no less
than five songs. and took part n duet The
two songs which we heard were quite differen,
in character, and demonstrated pretty fairly

DIsoRDEhLY.-Lewis Pritchet, late member of
the Public Guard, was brought before the Mayor
yesterday, charged with being drunk and disorderly

Corporal Wesley Weeks of the Guard. From the
evidence, it appeared that Pritchet discharged

drunkenness. During the morning he acted very

Weeks ordered him eff, when he struck at him two
or three times. He was finally driven back on the
hill and there threw a stone at the sentry. Soon
after he was arrested. The Mayor fined Prichet 81
for drunkenness, 81 for throwing stones, and com
ied him to Jail in default Of $500 security to keep

We are sorry for this, because the rebellion, as
il was called, promised much for the good of
mankind. The proceedings of the rebels were
every where most orderly. They committed
no outrages on persons or property. They
manifested. on all occasions, the utmost respect
for the laws. They had proclaimed the spread
of letters and general education, as one of
their chief objects. Even the women were to
be emancipated and educated. To enter fe-

code, punishable by death. Ia all the provinces

that our own government is not prepared for it.

science and order of the best European armies,
are proceeding against Pekin.

part of them drunk, killed 200 Of them in an at

This transaction was made the subject OF de-.
bate in the House of Lords, and the Times
has an article on the subject, from which we
extract the following significant passage:
"Now should such incidents be repeated, the
British public will certainly make up its mind
TO incur no expense in securing TO Her Most
Catholic Majesty the possession of an Island
OF which she and her officers make this abomi
nable use. They will not pay large feet TO
prevent Spanish slavers from landing their live
cargoes in Cuba, and another large feet to

THE WEATHER.-A certain young gentleman,
somewhat celebrated in his day, and supposed to
have some connection with the royal family of
Denmark, is stated by one of our old English au,
thors, to have given utterance to the strange
wish that CHS too solid flesh might melt, thaw.
and dissolve into a dew This was certainly a
very strange wish, and one which Hamlet would
never have uttered without extreme provocation
Mr. Shakespeare, who has handed down most of the
particulars relative to this interesting young man,
attributes his rash Vow to falling out which the
young man had had with his maternal relative
But it is hardly possible that ne could have felt any
such desire, if he had lived in modern times and in
old Virginia. With the thermometer at 96-or
rather oscillating between IS degrees and that
point-no sane man would ever think of asking
for ything farther in the shape of thaw. In
brief, the weather for the past week has bordered
closely on the torrid and gives promise of nothing
less than a toerabe imitation of the atmosphere
which may be supposed to exist in the interior of a
brick kiln
