DUTCH WoMEN.-Colman, in his "European
Life and Manners" gives the following descrip-
ton of the Dutch omen:
81 think some of them are the fairest and
handsomest creatures I ever looked upon, and
made of unmixed porcelain clay. Before l left
England l thought the English women the
fairest l had ever seen-I now consider them as
belonging to the colored race. The Dutch
women much excel them. Take the fairest rose
that was ever plucked, with the glittering dew
drops hanging among its petals, take the fairest
peach that ever hung upon the tree, with it's
charming blended tints of red and white, and
they are eclipsed by the transparency and
beauty of complexion of the fairest Dutch
women, as I saw them at Brock and Saardam.
If their minds are fair, and their manners as
winning as their faces, then l can easily un-
derstand the history of Adams fall. 1t was
impossible, poor fellow, that he should resist.
Then their costume is SO pretty and elegant-a
sort of thin gold helmet fitting close to the
head, leaving enough of the hair to part grace
fully over the brows, a thin but wide band of
highly wrought and FURNISHED gold extending
across the forehead at the end of this some
rich and elegantly wrought flagree ornaments
of gold, with splendid ear-drops of gold, or of
set in gold, with a beautiful cap of
the finest Brussels lace"

CONDITION OF THE FREE BLACKS AT TIL
NoRrH.-Of all the papers in the world we
should have expected the New York Tribune to
be the last to represent the true condition OF
the free blacks of the North. and yet even
that violent Abolition sheet thus portrays the
character Of this class of the Northern COM
munity:
"Nine tenth Of the Free Black have no idea
of settling themselves to work except as the
hirelings and s~ervitors of white men no idea
of building a church or accomplishing any
other serious enterprise, except through beg
gary of the Whites. As a class, the Blacks
are incident, im%provident, servile and licen-
tious, and their inyeterate habit is of appealing
to white benevolence or compassion whenever
they realize a want OF encounter q difficulty, is
eminently baneful and enservating. If they
could never more obtain a dollar until they
have earned it, many of them would suffer, and
some perhaps ~starve; but on the whole, they
would do better and improve faster than may
now be reasonably expected"

PATMos, THE FAMOUS GRoTTo.-We have
been favored, says a Savannah paper, with the
perusal of an interesting letter from an officer
OF the Saranac, q ship attached to our Mediter-
ranean squadron, dated at spezia, Italy, and
addressed to his brother in this city. We
make the following extract:
"Our ship returned about a fortnight since,
from among the islands of the Grecian Archi-
pellago, during which we visited the islands of
Antlparas and Patmos. At the former | visited
the famous grotto, out was deferred by the
difficulty and danger from descending far into
it. Some of our officers, however, went to the
bottom, and describe it as very beautiful. At
Patmos, l went to see the cave in which it is
said st. John lived when he wrote the Apoc-
alypse, and where he saw the visions; and I
listened to the marvellous stories related by the
Greek priests. However much I might be dis
posed to believe any of the stories, | confess
my belief was very much staggered by some
that | heard. We're there any proof that st.
John ever lived in any cave, | might believe
this to be the one but in the absence of proof
on this point, I disbelieve. The cave, and
every thing about it, is held in superstitious
yeneration by the Greek monks, who have a
monastery over it, and of course the greater the
c~redulity visitors, the greater the receipts of
the priests. Our intention was to have visited
all the islands, but the cholera being prevalent
at many of them, we only visited four, and
then returned to this place, where we are now
awaiting the arrival Of our new Commodore in
the frigate Congress. He was at Toulon on
the 5th of this month, and we are daily ex-
him here"

A LADY IN CoURT.-Old residents will re-
member the celebrated Bradstreet claim trial
in the city of Albany in 1883, celebrated for
the amount of property involved, fifty acres on
the west side of Genesee street, Utica, and
valued at $500, 000;) the great array of talent
on each side, Daniel Webster being retained by
the prosecutrix; } the fact that Mrs. Bradstreet
argued her own cause before the court and
jury, and in such a mastery manner as to
astound every body, drawing from Mr.. John
Van Buren, the assertion that she Mrs. Brad
s~treet) was the best real estate lawyer he ever
knew or had read of; celebrated for the fact
that the jury ate cheese which poisoned them
and led to their being discharged at three
o'clock in the morning, (the Judge believing
that it was cholera, and fearing that it might
become epidemic, be dissolved the court ; J and
celebrated for the pertinacity with which Mrs.
b. has since prosecuted her claim.
Mrs. Bradstreet, who is now quite seventy
years of age, with hair as white as snow fakes,
with a step as firm and vigorous as some
ladies' of thirty-three, yesterday appeared in
the United States Court attired in modern
habiliments, with a natty white hat, surmount-
ed with an elegant white plume three feet in
and made a motion for the continuance
her suit, Tor something to that effect, ex-
pressing her determination to contest her claims

article we think something of framing, to hang con-
spicuously over the editors table: "The public have
a funny notion about printers. They think it costs
nothing to puff, advertise, &c. And thus one an.
other will sponge an extra paper, a puff, or some
benevolent advertisement. They forget that it is
the printers ink that makes nine-tenths of their i'm
mense fortunes. They forget that it takes money
to pay compositors-to buy ink, type and paper
and lastly they forget to even thank you for work
ing for nothing, BY gratuitously putting their busi-
ness.

H1eHER.-Higher! is a word of noble meaning
inspiration Of all great deeds-the sympathetic
chain that leads, link, the imprisoned soul to it
zenith Of glory, and still holds its mysterious obiec,
standing and g%littering among the stars.
Higher! lsps the infant On its parents knees, ane
makes its feeble essay to rise from the foor-it is
the first aspiration of childhood to burst the narrow
confines of the cradle in which its sweet moments
have been passed, forever.
Higher! laughs the proud school boy on his
swing; or, as he climbs the tallest tree of the forest,
that he may look down on his less adventurous
companions with a flush of exultation, and abroad
over the fields of his native village. He never saw
SO extended a prospect before.
Higher! earnestly breathes the students of phil
osophy and nature; he has a host of rivals, but he
must eclipse them all. The midnight oil in its lamp
burns dim but he finds knowledge in the lamps of
Heaven, and his soul is never weary when the last
of them is had behind the curtains of the morning.
And higher! his voice thunders forth when the
dignity Of manhood has invested his form, and the
multitude is listening with delight to his oracles
burning with eloquence and ringing like true steel
in the cause Of freedom and right.
And when time. has changed his locks to silver.
and when the world wide renoun is his; when
the maiden gathering flowers by the wayside, and
the boy in the field, bow in reverence as he passes
ana the peasant looks to him with honor-can he
breath forth from his heart with the fond wish Of
the past.
Higher yet! he has reached the apex Of all
earthly honor, yet his spirit burns as warm as in
youth. though with a steadier and paler light. and
it would borrow wings and soar up to high heaven,
its tenements to moulder among the laurels
he has wound around il, for the never ending glory
be reached only in the presence of the Most
High!

TEE GREATEST FISH SroRY.-Some of the papers
are publishing a long story ola young man, about
two hundred years ago, who left his village homei in
Spain, took to the water, and lived in the sea for
FIVE or six years, when he was caught in a net by
some fishermen and restored to his mother. He
had lost the faculty o speach and had apparently
sunk into idiocy. After nine or ten years ashore
he disappeared, and it was supposed went to sea
again. When caught, some scales appeared to
have grown on his back. BE was q norman.
The story is told in n seriousness, and We believe
it-as6rmly a. we can.

at half pas 9 O'Clock ?. NJ, Mr.. NUMA COMO, in the 30th
yoar of his age.
The deceased was 8 native of the parish Of St. James, in
this State, and had come here but a short time before his
death, where he was attacked with i%nhamatory fever, and
died on a few days thereafter. Nothing that the skill of an
experienced physician could devise, or the care and atten-
ton that doting friends could bestow, suficed to arrest
the march Of the fell-destroyer, and he succumbed to the
will of Him, who holds, as it were, the universe in the hollow
of his hand. He now sleeps the long and last sleep of death,
He leaves an aged and heart stricken mother to mourn his
untimely end. J.E. L.

GREAT CITIES IN THE WORLD.-London is the
largest city on the globe. Including the cities
and towns which it has swallowed up and made
a part of itself, it covers an arear of thirty
two square miles, thickly planted with houses,
most of which are four and five stories high. 1t
has about two millions and a half of inhabi-
tants. New York. reckoning among its inhabi-
tants all who habitually do business within
sight % the Trinity steeple, is, in point of pop
u%lation,!! the second city in the world, embracing
at least a million people. Within its charter
ed limits it has now probably about $780, 900 in
habitants. In this view it is the fourth city,
Paris and Constantinople being more populous.
The estimated population of the cities of
Asia have been most extravagantly exaggerated.
1t is confdentially stated that there is not one
of them that has a population exceeding a mill
lion. The largest city in India-Benares-has
not over six hundred thousand inhabitants
while the great cities of ~China-Pekin, Nankin
and Canton-instead of their three, two, and
one millions, are neither of them estimated to
contain a population of over six or eight hum
dred thousand.
Philadelphia has about half a million inhabi-
tants; Vienna and Berlin nearly as many;
Naples, three hundred and fifty thousand;
Brooklin, more than two hundred thousand;
and the city of Mexico about the same. Bal
timore has now probably d population of nearly
or quite one hundred and ninety thousand:
Cincinnati, one hundred and seventy-fve
thousand New Orleans and Boston, about one
hundred and fifty thousand each; Venice, one
hundred and ten thousand; st. Louis. one
hundred thousand.-Lifs Illustrated.
