TRUE Observation-Disclosures, the greatest
of the English romance writers of the present
day, in his recent work entitled My Novel,
thus alludes to political secret societies. -
He says
"And hence, in secret societies (from which
may vet proceed great danger to all Europe,
we find but foul and hateful Eleusinia afford
ing Preerts to the ambition Of the great, TO The
license Of the pemless, to the passions Of The
reveageful, to The anarchy Of The ignorant
The scenes that have been passing in the
United States for the last year, have afforded
a melancholy illustration of the truth OF
BULwER's remarks concerning such organiza-
tons 1t is high time all good men united
to pull them down.
Fatal MIsTAKE.-Two men were turkey
hunting in Madison county, GA, and one OF
them, having secreted himself in the bushes,
commenced initiating the "yelping' of tur-
key. The other hearing it, moved cautious
ly along in the direction of the noise, until be
approached near enough to see an object mo-
wing in the bushes; supposing it to be turkey,
he instantly fired, and running to the spot
discovered he had shot his friend through
the head.

Miss Eliza Logan

There is not breath from the far north or
from the far south that does not bear the
soun,l of triumph for this favorite of Thalia
and Melpomene; this child of genius, whose
first awakening to the bright career before
her was here, within the warm and admirino
environs of our city. Even when speaking
of another, who has striven for the fadeless
chaplet, the Galveston Tines speaks OF Miss
Logan as the actress Of the age" and where
ever there is taste, and genius, and spprecia-
ton, she is invariably heralded as "the most
beautiful, and judicious, and discriminating
reader" and an actress of rare accomplish
ments.
Miss Logan has just closed a most brilliant
engagement at Montgomery, Alabama her
benefit drawing the largest and most fashion
able house that ever assembled in that place
The press, without exception, speak in the
warmest terms of admiration, and express
great regret that engagements elsewhere
would not permit her to prolong her stay at
the Alabama CAPITAL. She is at present in
Philadelphia. Ii is hard we cannot have
her to play here again, but the engagements
offered she has thought inconsistent with her
position and they were reluctantly declined,
because we know she has profound respect
and esteem for our city, and would be graft
fed to appear here once more.
We endorse the well merited compliment
from the Cincinnati Enquirer most heartily.
ELIZA LOGAN is the actress of the age.

A COOP SUGGEsTIoN.-The safest - and
we are bound to say in spite Of the misgiv-
ings which the church and clergy manifest
upon the subject-the sureSt mode of reform
ing mankind is through the preaching of the
gospel. We feel that we are unmanncrly in
frequently calling the attention of the MEM
bers Of profession now so largely embarked
in the business of law making, in the cult
walton of politics, and the promulgation of
Americanism, to .he idea, especially as it
might by mischievous persons, be construed
as implying on our part suspicion that GER
tain important duties were being neglected by
that highly respectable class of our fellow
citizens. Nor are we able entirely, to deny
the existence of the suspicion limited at We
do regret to see the safer means for promo
ting the welfare of mankind-means that
God has devised, insured and blessed, aban-
doned, neglected, or even sighted, in favor
of those which are the devices Of man, and
are no sooner invented than they become in
temingled with his groveling desires, angry
passions, and mwholesome ambition.-Cin

The New York L.iouor Law.

There is a tremendous leak in the new
liquor law of New York. In fact it leaks
like seive. The prohibitory feature is en-
bodied substantially in the first section, the
subsequent provisions relating to modes Of
search, seizure trial, &c.
SECTION l. intoxicating liquor, except as
hereinafter provided, shall not be sold, or kept
for sale, or with intent to be sold, by any per-
son, for himself or any other person, in any
place whatsoever. This section shall not APP
ply to liquor the right to sell which in this
State is given by any law or treaty of the
United States. &c.
Now, according to the decision of the late
Chief Justice MARSHALL, liquors imported un-
der treaties with foreign countries are not lis-
bic to tax or excise levied by the United
States. The United States laws authorize the
sale of wines, liquors, rum and brandies i'm
ported from abroad; and it would seem that
the above section prohibits the sale of domss-
tic intoxicating liquors ONLY. Did the "Ameri-
can' Legislature intend to pass such ridicu-
lous law? Did the Know Notkings intend to
prohibit natiUe productions exclu sively p

PARTISAN SIGHTs-One Of the sights which
struck me in my wide perambulations last
week, was grand cavalcade of masters and
pupils of the riding schools every man
booted and spured in the old style, and wear
ing white inexpTessibes, and proudly caraeo-
ling a noble steed another sight to be men
toned was the procession on Easter Sunday,
of Blessed Bread presented by their Malesties
TO their parish church it was led by the
Count de Montbrun, Perfect of the Palace OF
the Tuileries; twenty splendid circular ioaves
and fifty huge pieces of cake were borne on
litters with laurels AMI flowers by Wallets in
the imperial livery; all the parishioners could
share in the massive donation. A company
has been formed TO provide, during the Indus
trial Exhibition, a cheap visit for the British.

LOUIS NAPOLEON AT HoME-The Paris
correspondent of the New York Commercial
Advertiser, remarking upon the recent Disco
very, made at the critical moment of con-
spiracy to assassinate the Emperor Napoleon,
says
"The attempt is attributed to the feeling
which is growing up in the country against the
absolute power which is exercised by the
Emperor, who does not consult the interests,
much less the opinions of any class of his
people and whose conduct Of the war is not
considered entirely satisfactory. That class
of people who have serious interests at stake
TO whom the honor and prosperity of their
native country is paramount object, and
who have heretofore had some sort of voice
in the administration Of public affairs. now
find that these precious interests are placed in
the hands of g man who scorns alike theiI
good OF bad orinions-and conducts the at
fairs of State with an absolute secrecy, an in
difference to the opinions of Others, and if he
was the only party interested--as if he
alone was the body and soul Of the country
1t is impossible that this state Of things car
last much longer"

WAETED-SoMEBoDY TO TAKE SEBAsTo-
PoL--The English people despair of their
old-fogy generals in the Crimea taking Sebas-
topol, and the London Times suggests that if
Americans can show way to take Sebastopol,
England will be ready to learn and give them
credit for the lesson. This is regularly invit-
ing proposals, and we have no doubt that a
contract could be male which would ensure
the accomplishment Of the job, but that our
countrymen have great amount of work al
ready on their hands in trying to feed them
selves during the next year. They have suf-
fered so much the past winter from idleness
and lack Of industry last summer, that now
they are obliged to go to work and cultivate
the earth, which, we think, is much more
profitable, gentlemanly and Christian-liks
employment than going four or five thousand
miles to cut the threats of people they nevel
saw before. If Sebastopol remains untakeI
till American recruits take it, we think it vii

@The perfume of flowers may be gather
ed, according to the Scientific american, in a
very simple manner, and without apparatus
Gather the flowers with as little stock as pos
sible, and place them in jar three parts of
Holive or almond oil. After being in the oil
twenty-four hours, put them into a coarse
cloth, and squeeze the oil from them. This
process, with fresh flowers, is to be repeated
according to the strength of the perfume de-
sired. The oil being thus thoroughly pei
fumed with the volatile principle of the flow
ers il is to be mixed with an equal quantity
of pure rectifed spirits, and shaken every
day for fortnight, when it may be poured
Of, ready for use. As the season for sweo
scented blossoms is just approaching, thi'
method may be practically tested, and with
out any great trouble or expense. 1t would
add additional interest to the cultivation Of
flowers

iron upon scale of magnitude somewhat
2roportioned to the requirements of the coun-
try. The location for the purpose is not de-
termined on. Some of our most eminent

locations and we hope their reports will
point TO our own State as offering most advan
