EGYPTIAN PYRAMIDS.

With what amazeB 'ent did we survey the vast
surface that vas pres snted to US, when we ar
rived at this artificial mountain, which seemed
to reach the clouds. Here and there appeared
some Arab guides uson the immense masses
above us, like 30 mary pigmies, waiting to show
the way to the summit. Already some of our
party had began the ascent and were pausing
at the tremendous de- pth which they saw below.
One of our military companions, after hav-
ing surmounted the most difficult part of the
undertaking, became giddy in consequence of
looking down from the elevation he had at
tanned; and, being Compelled to abandon the
project, he hired an srab to assist him in effect
ing his descent. TKH rest of US, more accus.
toned to the busneEa of climbing heights, with
many halt for respiration, and many. an ex-
clamation Of wonder pursued our way towards
the summit
The mode of ascei / has been frequently des-
cribed and yet from the questions that are often
proposed to travellets, it does not appear to be
generally understood. The reader may imag.
Inc himseif 10 se uptn staircase every stem II
which, to q man Of middle stature, in nearly

equal to its height. Consequently, the footing
is secure; and, although retrospect in going
up Oe sometimes fs ,rful to persons unaccus.
toned to look down from auy considerable ele.
walton, yet there is kttle danger of falling.
In some places, iDdeed, where the stones are
decayed, caution mar be required, and an Arab
guide is always necessary to avoid a total in.
terruption but on ihe whole, the means of as
cent are such, that almost every one may &C.
comphsh 1t. Our Progress was impeded by
other causes. We carried with US a few in
struments, such as our boat compass, ther-
mometer, a telescofs, DC.
These could not be trusted in the hands OF
the Arabs, and thief were liable to be broken
every instant. At ast we reached the topmost
tier, TO the great delight and satisfaction of all
the party. Here fe found a platform, thirty
two feet square, COR listing of nine large stones
each of which mig 1t weigh about q ton, q,

do not see how to get at closer estimate
than the above. 1t is not, of course, pretended
that the ratio between votes and population is
just the same for 1856 as for 1852 but it is an
approximation, the nearest that can devise
for measuring the changes of the four years
succeeding the census Of 1851, and must give
results substantially correct. Some of these re-
suits are so new to me, that ! have concluded
to ask place for them in your columns. You
will observe
!. That Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, at the
close of 1855, remained the leading cities of
the West, the highest on the list below being
10000 short of the smaller of the two.
2. Pittsburgh gained in the four years l6, 6,OGO
on Cincinnati, and lost 5000 with Chicago.
3. The vote of Cincinnati is larger than the
votes of st. Louis and Chicago combined, and
about equal to that of st. Louis, Louisville, and
New Orleans. The vote of Pittsburgh is about
double that of St, Louis, and treble that of New
Orleans, or equal to the votes of Chicago and
New Orleans combined.
4. In rapidity of increase, the cities stand in
the following order:
/, Chicago; 2, Pittsburgh; 3, St. Louis; A,
Cincinnati; 8, Louisville G, New Orleans.

To the Editor ofMe National Era:
DEAR SIR: recently noticed calculation
in the Era, based on the mayors election in
this place, which made a population of some
forty and odd thousand. enclose you an article
lately published here, which puts matters in
rather different light, and upon better data,
as it seems to me.
The champion of Freedom atthe South should
not do anything to lessen the Importance of the
foremost of all the Fremont cities of the
Union out of New England. hope you will
set the matter straight, if only to show that
thrift and love of Freedom go together.
Truly, yours, A New SUBSCRIBER.
From the Pittsburgh Gazette
MEssRs. EDITOR: Allow me to call your at.
tention to the following figures relative to the
six leading cities of the West. In each case. the
city and county are embraced, as find the mum.
cipal lines so arbitrary as to give no true index
of the actual relative Importance of the places
named. The population table is taken from

MIR WEBSTER ON STYLE OF WRITING.

We extract the following criticism from one
Of the posthumously- y-published letters of Daniel
Webster:
book might be written on this little ques
tion when is effect produced by generalza-
tion-when by particularization 2" At least
book might he filled with opposite instances of
both kinds from our English classics, especial
ly the Scriptures, Shakespeare, and Milton. An
accurate writer should avoid generaities some.
times, not always, but when, it would require
q treatise to expound. l rejoice to see one
rhetorician who will allow nothing to words but
as they are signs of ideas. The rule is good
one, to use no word which does not suggest an
idea, or modify some idea already suggested.
And this SHOULD lead writer's to adopt sparngly
the use of such words as vast, amazing, aston.
ishipg, &C.; for what do they mean? I? DIR.
Wat.s--who, by the way, do not deem alto
gether bad poet-somewhere speaks of the
fight of an angel as being with "most amazing
speed" But what idea is conveyed by the
mode of expression? What is "amazing
speed?" 1t would srna4e US if we saw an
oyster moving q mile day; it would not
amaze US to See greyhound run a mile a
n;-aute. On the other hand, see with what
unequalled skill Milton represents both the
distance through which and the speed with
which Lucifer fell from Heaven,

when his feet touched the soil, as if the con.

AS ne passed slowly by the car he had left, to
reach his gate, he frightened more and more,
until his face was wondrous to look upon. He
went with his head barred, courteously bowing

cars, watched his steps. Perhaps he would
have barred his head, any way, if no crowd had

The Girl with the Calico Dress.


A fig for your upper ten girls,
With their velvet and satins and lnccs;
Their diamonds and rubies and pearls;
And their millinor figures and faces
They mny shine at party or ball,
Emblnzoned with half they possess,
But rive me in place of them all,
The girl with the calico dress
She is plump as partridge, and fair
As the rose IN its earliest bloom;
Hcrteeth will with ivory compare
And her breath with the clover perfume.
Her step Ia as free and MS light
As the lawns whom the hunters hard press
And her eye soft and as bright,
Ny girl with the calico dress.
Your dnndies nnd foplings may sneer
At her simple and modest attire,
But the charms she permits to appear
Would sci IA whole iceberg on fire.
She can dnnco but she never allows
The huggng the squeeze aud caress;
She is saving all these for her spouse,
Ny girl with the calico dress
She IL cheerful, warm hearted and true,
And kind to her father and mother
She studies how mnch she can do
For her sweet little sisters and brother,
II You want companion for life,
To comfort, envon, aud bloss,
She is Just the right sort for wife,
Ny girl with the calico dress.
