Many years agO-about 1SOt-Mr. Nicho-
las Longworth, of Newark, \. j.. removed
to Cincinnati and began to study law in the
office Of Judge Burnet. He practiced his
profession for number Of years, investing
his income in lands and lots in the vicinity of
the city. He has been fortunate spcculat-
or. Mr. Cist relates the anecdote of his
once defending man accused of horse
stealing. The only fee the man could give
were two second hand copper stills, These
MI Longworth exchanged with one Joel
Williams, large property, large property
hoider, Tor thirty-three acres of land front
ing on Western Row, and which, at this
time, Is worth two millions of dollars. Mr..
Longworth has acquired a very large proper
ty, and Is supposed by some to be next in
wealth to Astor of New York. This gentle
clan Is the pioneer wine manufacturer of
Cincinnati. For I!any years he has been
spending large sums in cultvatins our native
grapes. He has cultivated and tested oyer
one hundred kinds of native grapes,
brought from all parts of the United States
\ long series OF experiments has proved the
Catawba to be the best native grape for the
manufacturing OF wine, and in 1851 Mr..
Lengworth had vineyards in the vicinity of
Cincinnati covering one hundred and fifteen
acres. All the fixtures for the making and
keeping OF wine have required large outlay
of capital In ordinary years he makes
about three or four hundred gallons to the
acre, and in very fruitful years has made
five hundl ed. Mr.. Longworth has employ
ed experienced wine makers from the old
countries.

WONDERFUL FoUSTAIYS.-fhcf fountains OF
the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, Eng, are
among the greatest wonders of the world
Two huge fountains throw vast jets of water
to height of $50 feet. Two towers are
erected on the highest part of the grounds,
each go feet high; powerful engines take
water from artesian wells 575 feet deep, and
throw it to the top Of these towers, whence
it descends and feeds the fountains. The
total weight of each tower, when the fount-
aims are playing, is over three thousand
tons
Besides the two colossal fountains, there
are ten lesser ones, that throw jets one hun
dred fee. high, as well as almost countless
smaller fountains, in addition to watertcm-
pies, cascades, &c, and several thousand
small jets, requiring 100, 900 gallons of wa
ter per minute to supply them. Ten miles
of iron pipes are required to conduct the
water that feeds these works. The sight,
when they are all in full play, is said to be
magnificent. The spectator secs before him
group of basins, arranged on terraces that
rise above each other, the Crystal Palace
building crowning the summit; and each of
these basins seems alive with jets flashing in
the sunshine, and crossing and re-crossing
each other, while cascades diversity the
scene, and the two colossal fountains shoot
to dizzy height.

Henry, though several years younger, was
very intirm. He had kept in the counting
room long after the doctors had warned him
TO give up business, and ROW he found him
self stricken in health beyond repair. But
this was not the worst. He was out of his
element when not making money. George
took him into the library, and showed him
4 fine collection of books. Poor Henry had
never cultivated a taste for reading. He
looked upon the books with no more interest
than he would have Looked on so many
bricks. George took him inEo his garden,
but Henry began TO cough, and said he was
afraid of the east wind. When George
pointed out to him beautiful elm, he only
cried "Pshaw." George took him into his
greenhouse and talked with enthusiasm OF
some flowers, which seemed to give the farm
err great pleasure. Henry shrugged his
shoulders and yavned, saying, "Ah don't
care for such things" George asked him if
he was fond of paintings and cngravings.

a few days afterwards, he parted from his

" \ declaration that slavery exists by the
constitution in all the territories of the United
States, was only lost in the Cincinnati Con
vention by single vote"
The foregoing paragraph has been going
the rounds of the black republican press.
Lest, from frequent repetition. the assertion
may gain credcnce in credulous quarters, i,
Is proper that we should pronounce i. alb
soutely false. The writer hereof having
CHANGED to be a member of the committee Oh
resolutions Of the Cincinnati Convention.
and having been present in all their sessions,
speaks Of his knowledge upon this point.
/ \ proposition in substance that the fedc-
raj constitution authorizes slavery in the
territories OF the United States. was brought
before the committee at two separate times
first by the member from Florida. and after
wards by the member from Mississippi. In
the first instance it was rejected, without de-
bate, by more than a thrce-quartcrs vote
In the second instance, the subject was briefly
debated, chiefly by southern members. The
members from Virginia, South Carolina,
Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi sustained
the proposition, while those from Georgia,
LOUISIANA, Missouri and two or three other
southern states discouraged it. The mem
Der from Georgia spoke against it. He said
the battle upon that question had been once
fought In the south and the party holding
the affirmative Of it GizastrQusly defeated
Georgia had declared against il EN- phatioallv.
and other southern states as cmphaticaly.
lie alluded to the argument contained in the
late senatorial speech Of Gen. CaSs on the
SUBJECT, characterlZlng il az surprisingly
ab.e sound and unanawer2blc. Mr.. SoU.e,
OF LOUISIANA, di>sented from the proposi-
ton, and Mr.. Hudson, Of Missouri. remarked
that lie did not wish TO consume time in
speaking against it-he wanted 10 vote
against II. The opponents Of the PROPOSE
ton, north and south, assumed that il was
purely a Judicial, and in no manner po .itical
question, but that, even though il were Of
political consequence 4 case Iu~C.vug the
doctrine before the supreme court, il would
be highly improper t.r the convention 10
determine /. in advauae. The committee
have come t. a vote instead of but one ma
Jorty against it, the proposition had not
more than SIX or eight votes in It's favor.
The action Of the convention Itself IS uoto-
roIs. The report of the committee vas re-
ceiyet and adopted wiIhou. = dissenting
voice.
What t!e judgment Of The supreme coart

question Of the constitutional existence Of
slavery in the territories. may be inferred
from It's judgment in case hitherto invo.7-
Ing the same question. In the case of PricrS

the court was that slavery could 20 nowhere

discovered that, Ike almost every other ami

Previous to the ships arrival there, the
crew had suffered great Inconvenience from
bugs; bat the cockroaches no sooner made
their appearance than the bugs entirely
disappeared. The cockroaQh preys upon
them, leaving no sign or vestige where they
have been; and is, so far, most valuable
and praiseworthy insect. Mr.. Newman also

>iSayLAa BAP-IsMAL SUFERsTIflON.--On 4
recent sunday. at certain country church
~ W urge>t.r>hirc, there were chri>toD;n-S
boys and a girl. The parents Of one boy
were In very respectable class Of life: the
parents Of the other two children were in
humble circumstances. The parties at the
font had been duly placed by the otiiciatin,
clergyman, and as il happened, the rirl and
hey sponsors were placed last in order
" hen the first chiii-who was the boy Of
the poor parents-was about to he hau:iZel.
the woman who held the little girl r,oowed
her way up 10 the clergvmen, in order that
the child she carried might be the first u be
baPtscd. TO DO this, she had (verv contra
~ TO the usual custom of the poor. who in
essential points are generally as refined a.

bettcTs II. C., the sponsors of the second
boy. ~ She did so, she said TO one OF ihc
sponsors, by way of apology" Its a girl

ed first ii was. But the peculiar manner in
which this vas brought about showed that
the woman was influenced by some peculiar
feeling; and on the next day an opportunity
was taken to discover her motive. TINS
was her explanation: "You see. sir. the
parSon bant married man, and consequent

the agent to carry forward the great wrong.
The last interview have described, which
resulted in the return Of the correspondence
was enshrouded in the consequences of all
these plans. The result was death TO one
party, and the burial of the heart of the
other, an the grace that closed over one who
could not survive the wreck of her affec-
tons.
Many years have passed away since the
incidents detailed in the above sketch have
transpired; many years since they were re-
vived by the accidental conversation of IA
mlly circle OF Washington society but the
country strangely becomes interested in the
event, from the fact that the White House
may possibly have bachelor for its occu-
pant; but one, not so because of indifer-
ence to woman, but really from the highest
appreciation OF one of the loyeliest of the
Sex.
