THE WRONG MAN.

But to add to tho zest of this up-the. Mississippi
trip you must know that the good boat Northern
Belle also bore AS one of her passengers the verita-
ble Lunglellow. The Historical Society had ex-
tended to tue pnet an invitation to be present at
the cornerstone laying. and "a distinctly marked
trunk. I'll. W. Lungiellow," coming on board,
settled the fact that the author of HIawatha was
one Of our number. But which is he? was the
oft repeated question; and none answered except
to guess. AT the table each one was looking must
intently at the other, to divine which was the poet,
aud all wondered why every one stared so. This
man was pronounced the poet because he wore a
a. ustache; that one because he shaved clean; and
we nuted that the fact as TO who was Ldngfellow
was settled either by the excess or lack of hair.-
This dou3t in Il feS hours became uncomfortable,
and the universal cry ras to ''trot out" Lungiel-
low. Finally, by the aid of the clerk, the number
of his state room was ascertained to he 80, and n
guard placed at either door Of 30 50 that no one
could escape thence undetected. Soon the door
opened, and Longfellow passed to The deck, where
were assembled the curious. 1t was arranged that
an old Virginia major, who had faced the red men
in their most savage days at Fort Smelling, should
draw from the mysterious passenger an admission
thar he was the poet Longfellow. The MAJ or by
his age and fund of information regarding the In
dians, was a privileged character on board, and
stepping up to the occupant of 80, slapped him on
the shoulder with

THE ANTI-SLAvERY BUGLE.

1t is certainly u painful task to unvail such an
account OF iniauity; but how is it possible to pass
over in silence the unjust and cruel behavior OF
Fren,h officers toward their fellow-countrymen?
Lot it be known therefore, that we arc unspeakably
tortured on the himsiest pretenses, while peDple,
deceived by Che solemn declarations of the French
Guvernemnt, think perhaps tina. overy prison is
open. and that out of Ave men lately arrested for
some talk it had been the fancy of an oycrseer To
invent, two we're tied to a stake and dealt with as
the most vile crimi, ais. On their being reluctant
to submit to an ipnuminous punishment soldiers
were called for who, rushing upun the victims.

to make the blood sush.

possibly do. Our checks kindle with shame, and
our hearts are bleeding. Suffice it to say that, while
he French Government has it's clemency cried up
everywhere. there are Frencbmen in Guiana who
do gasp for life. Nor are they allowed the sojourn

A WEALTH OF COPPER.

The vein of copper, on which the Minnesota Mine
is situated, is being worked in different portions
along its whole extent. Its total length is over
$4,000 feet. Fora distance OF so fathoms down,
1t works richly and without any sign of giving out
as works go deeper. If along its whole length,
the vein will work to the depth of so fathoms, then
there are 220, 900 fathons, yielding, 1000 lbs. per
tathom calling one-third OF this ground dead, the
balance will yield 10000 tons Of copper, worth nj
the present rates the enormous sum Of 500, $50, 600
Several European mines are worked at 2 700 feet
and more, vertical distance below the surface
Such a vertical distance would make on the pres
ent inclination of the vein, about 466 lathoms in
depth, and would give in its whole length. l,2S2.-
500 fathums of ground. which ut the rate above
named would yield 640, $50 tons Of copper worth at

LAKE SUPERIOR MARBLE.

The resources of the Lake Superior region of
country are but imperfectly appreciated, although
there have been some astonishing d .velopments.
Copper. Silver and Iron ores have ALREADY been
discovered in great richness, ana to considerable
extent Rave been rendered in the metals. Every
year, however, brings to Light some new and val.
liable resource. Marble Of fine quality is the
latest discovery. The Chicago Democrats Press
says;
w have before us two elegant specimens of
Marble, that in several repects are different from
any variety of marble that has heretofore fallen
under our observation 1t is cluuded in almost
everv variety of shade comhired, from cbocrlate
10 purple. Small veins beautifully crystallized.
IF n lilac color, run through it in yari,us diroc.
tons. The texture of the marble is very fine, and
it is susceptible of r high polish Snine of the
gentlemen to whom we have submitted the speci-
mems, pronounce it equal to the finest Spanish o,
Italian marble, and snme regard il as s,perior IN
any of the imported varieties. All agree that il
would make very elegant mantels and tlhles. and
one of our most extensive marble manufacturers
gave II as his opinion that rs soon as it's excelleut
qualities became known, orders for il would he
received from Europe. The culor of il is diferen,
and some think it Is much more beautiful than any
Of the imported marbles.
The quarry fran which these specimens were
taken is on the Little Carp River, aud only five
miles from Lake Superior, and nne mile from the
Marquette and Jackson Iron Mounisin Railroad
several miles of which are already in one-atiop.
THE bluffs are some thirty feet high, and the
thickness of the ledge is atnut sixty feet. A val,
ley extends from the quarry TO the raailrnad
through which a good wagon or railroad can he
huilt, 80 as to make the transportation to the lake
h"th easy and CHEAP. The little Carp River fall,
some twerty feet over the ledge. and machinery

AN IRIsHMAN's IDEA OF AMERICA One of the
best definitions of an lrishman's idea of America
that we ever saw, is contained in the following ex-
tract from The Fairy Circle" a tale of John
Brrnghnm's Irish Echoes.
Where did 'backey come from, Corney ?" in.
quireh Mary.
why. from 'Meriky; where else? ?" he replied,
that sent US the first pitaty. Long life to it, for
both, say II"
What sort of a place is that, | wonder?"
"'Merikv, is it? They tell me it's mighty sizea-
BILE. M"ll darlin'. I'm told that you might rowl
England through it, an il would hardly make u
dint in the ground. There's fresh water oceans
inside of it that you might dhround Ireland in and
save Father Matthew a wonderful site of trouble,
an as for Scotland, you might stick it in a corner
of one O. their forests, and you'd never DO able tn
find it out, except it might be by the smell OF
whisky. If | had only a triae of money, I'd %
an seek my fortin' there"

KITTEN FR0LICK.

Kitten, kitten, two months old,
Woody SNOWFALL lying snug
Curled up in the warmest fold
0s the warm hearth rug.
Turn your drowsy head this way,
What is lifey o kitten say !
Life p said the kitten, winking her eyes,
And twitching her tail in droll surprise
Lille 2'-Oh. it's racing over the floor,
Out at the window and in at the door,
Now on the chair back, now on the table
Mid balls Of cotton and skeins Of silk
And crumbs Of sugar and jugs Of milk,
All so cosy and comfortable.
It's pat,ing the little dogs ears and lenping
Round him and DER him while he's sleeping
Waking him up in sore alright.
Then of and away. like a fash of light.
Securing and scampering out of sight.
Life? Oh its rolling over and over
On the summer. green tuft and budding clover,
Chasing the shadows as fast as they run,
Down the garden paths in the mid day sun,
Prancing and gamboling, brave and bold.
Climbing the tree.stoms, scratching the mould,
That's Lille 70 said the kitten two months old.
Kitten. kitten, come sit on my knee,
And 1.-THE and listen, to me
One by one. oh one ny one.
The sly, swift shadows sweep over them
Daylight. dieth. and kittenhood's gone.
And kitten, oh the rain and the wind
For cat.buod cometh, with careful mind,
And grave cat.duties follow behind.
IIark there's a sound you cannot hear;
I'll whisper it's meaning in your ear:
Mite
THE kitten started with her great green eyes,
And tN itched her tail in queer surprise
Mice!
No more tit bits. dainty and nice,
No more mischief and no more play
But watching by night and sleeping by day
Providing wher ever the foe may Turk
Very shurt CT mmons and very sharp work.
And, kitten. oh the hail and thunder
That's a blackish cloud but a blacker's under,
Hark but you'll fall from my knee | fear.
When | whisper that awful word in your ear-
R-r-rrats!
The kittens heart heats with great pit pats,
But her whisker quiver'd and from their sheath
Flashed out the sharp, white pearly teeth.)
R-r.rrats!
The scorn of dogs, but the terror of cats
The c~ruelest foes but the fercest fighters;
The siuciest thieves and the %sharpest biters.
But kitten, | see, you've a stoutish heart,
So courage and play an honest part; e
Use well your paws,
And strengthen your claws.
And sharpen your teeth and stretch your jaws
Then woe to the tribes Of p.ckers and stealers,
Niblers and gnawers, and evil dealers.
But now that you know that Life's not precisely
, The thing your fancy pictured so nicely,
+ Off and away lace over the floor
o Out at the window and in at the door
h Roll on the tuft and task in the sun,
, Ere night time cometh, and kittenhood's done.
