TIE BrRD OF THE ToLLTSa BELL.-Among
the highest woods and deepest hills of Brazil, a
sound is sometimes heard, so singular, that the
noise seems quite unnatural: it is like the dis
tant and solemn tolling of a church bell struck
at intervals. This extraordinary noise proceeds
from the Arawonso. The bird sits on the top
of the highest trees in the deepest forests, and
though constantly heard in the most desert
places, it is very rarely seen. 1t is impossible
to conceive anything Of more solitary char
acter than the profound silence of the woods,
broken only by the metallic and almost superna-
tural sound of the invisible bird, coming from
the air and seeming to follow wherever you go.
The Arawongo is white, with circle of red
around its eyes--its size is about that of small

No Su1RTs.-The Charleston Standard of the
18th and 18th ult., complains that the South
have to go to the North to obtain their shirts
The Charleston market SO it says, supports ten
thousand Northern seamstresses in the business.
Worse than this, it receives from the North "a
hundred thousand hats, four hundred thousand
shoes, and coats, pants, vests, collars, sacks,
cloaks, &c" every village and cross-road
store throughout the State is supplied with
this Indispensable articles of shirts from the
same source. ''Such are the results" Gays the
Standard, ''of our present political connection,
and such results, We say would not survive its
dissolution" Then of course the South Carroll
mans would have to so without shirts, hats,
pants, vests, collars, sacks and cloaks; for they
cannot possibly be manufactured by slave la
Dor, for half century to come.

Every crime committed under charge of abo-

passed the barbarism of the middle ages.
