When 1lr. Fillmore in 1858. retired from the Chief
Magistracy Of the United States, he commanded the
respect, the esteem and the confidence Of men of all
parties. A year later. says the Memphis Eagle;
when he made the tour of the Union, he was every
where received with acclamatons and honors freely
bestowed, bymen representing all shades of opinion.
Even the Democracy, by that time had had their
eyes opened the great exceencies of his character
and the purity and eficiencyof his public conduct
and they everywhere spoke well of him.. Up to his
nomination, day Or two since at Philadelphia, they
still spoke we'll of him.. Let US. see how long this
will last Let us see what possible pretext they can
set up for opening their batteries of abuse upon him

CRIME IN CUBA.-The Prensa de ID Habana Of the
sth, publishes letter from San Cristobal which
states that an old man, eighty years Of ageO who
could barely support himself by making shoes, was
recently murdered in the most cruel manner near that
place byrobbers. He had stepped out from his mis-
cradle habtation and was seized within two hundred
steps ofit his hands tied and bis throat cut from ear
to ear The murderers probably thought the old man
had money concealed on his person in his cabin.
Several other asassnations had taken place in that
vicinity. The dead body of young man was found
hangingsto the limb Of atiee; two persons had been
killed at Los Lajas, and cavalry soldier wounded
and had his horse killed by shot from blunder-
buss These outrages appear to be perpetrated by
unknown desperadoes, as we find no account of
arrests being made: Occurrences of this sort are
colnmonin Cuba we verify believe. than in any
part Of the United States, not excepting California,
and yet the majority Of the Havana editors take es.
pecial delight in culling from American papers ac-
counts of crime in this country. ~ b.

Roses In former Times

Among the ancients, TO enjoy the scent OF
roses al meals, an abundance OF rose leaves
were shaken upon the table, so that the
dishes were completely surrounded. BY an
ingenious conirivance, roses, during meals,
descended npon the guests from above
HeIiogabalus, in his folly, caused violets and
roses 10 be showered down upon his guests
in such quantities thai number Of them,
being unable 10 extrieate themselves, were
suffocaisd in flowers. During mealtimes
they reclined upon cashlons. stuffed with
ross leaves or made couch Of The leaves
themselves. The floor, too, was s,rewed
with roses, and in this custom great luxury
was displayed. Cleopatra, al an enormous
expense, procured roses for feast which
she gave to Anthony, had them laid Two Gu
bits thick on the floor Of the banquet room,
and then caused nets TO be spread over the
flowers 10 order 10 render the fooiiog elastic.
Heliogabalus not only caused the banquet
rooms, but also the colonades that led to
them, 10 be covered with roses, in,ersperssd
with lilies, violets and narcisei.
