sy- The New York Herald, speaking of
the extravaganza that has characterized the
living of many in New York, lately, says that
inc reaction has at last come. Real estate
,s descending from its Pegasus, and one by
one tho necessities of life arc being reduced
in price. Money is becoming daily more dear
and more difficult to obtain. Many merchants
and stock jobbers, living in large houses and
driving fine equippages, are now trembling
on the brink Of a fearful precipicc."

The CINCINNATI SLAVE CAsE.-The Flu.
gitires Remanded-The Cincinnati Enquirer
says: "The entire afternoon of yesterday
was occupied by council in arguing this case
and by Commissioner Newhall In rendering
his decision. The criminal court contained a
larger concourse of the populace than on
any previous day during the trial, and among
whom the colored people we're largely repre-
sented. The most intense interest, but un-
accompanied with undue excitement, prevail
ed during the whole course of the argument,
and, during the rendering of the decision by
the Commissioner, the utmost decorum and
good order prevailed. After an able review
of the testimony, the fugitiyes were remand
ed to the custody of their owners, and being
placed in an omnibus, were driven to the
Kentucky shore and lodged in the Coving-
ton Jail, where, they remain subject to the
demand of their owners.
The counsel for the defendants, we have
been Informed, made three applications, but
without effect, for writ of habeaS corpus
yesterday. As the omnibus containing the
fugitives was driven to the ferry.boat some
thousands of persons accompanied it, but no
excitement was manifested. The only re-
mark we heard was made by fat negro wo-
man, who, as she saw the approaching crowd,
said-"Who says niger no count! I'd like
to see bus full of white trash tract so
much 'tention."

CorrEE.- Asparagus is waxing potent
enough to threaten n usurpation of breakfast
dom. Hear what experimental philosophy
pronounces on the coming revolution:
"Liebg (he lustrious German chemist)
says that asparagus contains, in common with
tea and coffee, principle which he calls
"taurine," and which he considers essential to
the health of those who do not take strong
exercise. Taking the hint from Baron Lebig,
writer in the London Gardeners Chronicle,
was led to test asparagus as a substitute for
coffee. He says: The young shoots first
prepared were not agreeable, having an aka
line TASTE then tried the ripe seeds, these
roasted aud ground make full favored cof-
fee, not easily distinguished from fine Mocha.
The seeds are easily freed from the berries by
drying them in a oven, and then rubbing them
on sieve" In good soils asparagus yields
seeds abundantly; and if they nre charged
with "taurine," and identical with seeds Of
the coffee plant, asparagus coffee may be
grown in the United States at less than half
the cost per pound of the article now 50
largely imported"

LAKE SUPERIOR SILvER.- The Detroit
Tribune says il learns from undoubted au-
thority that the Minnesota Copper Company
have recently, at single blast blown out
eight thousand dollars worth Of pure native
silver. We have conversed, adds tho Tribune,
with gentlemen who have seen some of the
specimens, and others who have just return
ed from the mine, and they assure us that
there is no humbug either as to the amount
or quality of the ore. Lake Superior bids
fair to bc as rich in silver mines as il is known
TO bo in copper and iron.

QUICK WoRK.-Col. Andrew McMakin,
editor of the American Courier, Philadelphia,
has been on tour to the West, and among
other things which he describes in his enter
tanning manner, is the laundry of the "Burnet

other similar institutions, in its wri,,ging fac

ciple of centrifugal propulsion. Should an

ADD Ell KADER AND THE RUSSIANS.

ADD Ell KADER AND THE RUSSIANS.
In a leader in the aDaily News" of Friday,
will be found the following remarks as to
probable result Of Add Ell Kader being en-
trusted with the command of some Arabian
light cavalry during the present war with
Russa:
"The Arab chief is the very man that is
wanted; and his method of warfare is the
great desderatum for the Turks. The Sui
tan is the head Of his faith: The French
Emperor is his benefactor Can there. be a
doubt that his cavalry would be good force
to send out agaist the Cossacks! or that his
fanaticism, being more thoroughly indigo
nous, normal, and disnterested than that of
the Russian leaders, will be more than a
match for theirs! Give him the best horse
that Arabia can fNseish. Fearlesslv give him
sufficient following, and the world will soon
see what he car do. If in Asia, Ararat may
he the Atlas, and the table land of Georgia
his Morocco; and he Russians will strew
the plains in long lines, as the French did
ten years ago. II Ia Europe, the Balkan will
be mere hill to hm, and the Dobrudia in
summer like an easy bit Of the desert. Let
him equal his former self, and the Russians
will have no rest, night or day. We may
expect to hear of his seizing the stores of
the invaders, firing their magazines, knocking
in their flanks, worrying their rear, and over
matching them in the very warfare in which
the allies have otherwise few means of CON-
petng with them. If Lord Cardigan can
reach the field in time, he and his eleventh
may see, while getting into their tight clothes,
how the thing is done, and take a hint as to
the benefit Of easy garments The heavy
cavalry may soon be starting at the Arab
method of warfare. We should like to be
sure that the Arabs would not stare with vet
wider eyes at our heavy cavalry, with their

tR- The New York Tribune has an article
upon the "Hard Times" now coming upon us,
after the recent expansion and imitation, and
says that the 'string was stretched until it
snapped Prices, stocks, wages, every thing,
is reported as going down. The Tribune
adds s:-"Of course, many farmers will have to
postpone improvements that they would pre-
fer to make forthwith, while any number Of
comfortable mansions and luxurious resi-
dences will have to remain unbuilt for years
perhaps forever; but it is better so than
otherwise. Clerks will not be transformed
into merchants so rapidly as they have been,
and merchants who might have failed for half
million if the flush times had continued, will
have to content themselves with a vulgar,
snobbish smash for paltry hundred thousand
A good many city lots will remain unsold at
the generous prices affixed to them by san
guine spectators, and lads who have been
drinking choice brands of champagne with
their dinners and smoking shilling cigars
through the day, will have to content them
selves with sixpenny brandy and cheaper to-
bacco; but they will survive that-or would,
at least, if they were brought down to no Ii
quor and no tobacco at ALL"
