The New BRITISH MINIsTER.-One of our Loo
don correspondents, who is in position to be
accurately informed writes to US that Mr.. Vii
Minister Plenipotentiary from the British govern
ment to the United States Mr.. Villers prefers the
atmosphere of Westminster to the odOrs of Pennsy-
vania avenue; and in his place, it is said, we are
to have the Earl of Egin late Governor General
of Canada. This appointment, says our cores
pondent is conditional upon Lord Egin's ex
planning speech he recently made in Scotland;
in which he boosted that he had done" the
Yankees by the Reciprocity treaty 1t is gene
rally believed here that the treaty was good thing
for both sides but in any case the noble Earl should
not be held responsible for after dinner speeches
and will undoubtedly be able to make suitable
explanation of his remarks. Lord Egin is pre-
csely the person we want. He will not only re-
present British interests but having been long
resident in America he will be able to understan
the feeling and respect the rights of the people
Of the United States. He is moreover, first class
mana statesman and gentleman, aud win not
descend TO the small intrigues Of Bulwer or the
-uihheij hoS-oouuy VA
ton. Let us have the Earl of E!gin, and We will
see whether he can do the Yankees again.
Our correspondent also gives some interesting
speculatiOns concerning the Swiss imbroglio,
taking it for granted that the Confederation will
be obliged TO contend single handed against I'll
the great Powers-England excepted-and that
the liberal constitution OF 1S4S is to be crushed
out. 1t docs not appear quite clear TO US that
France will sustain Prussia in her course against
Switzerland, and it is very certain that any at
tempt to coerce the Cantons would excite such
storm of Indignation among the friends Of con-
stitutional government all over the world, that
the frmest thrones would be shaken. II France
and Austria do not wish for repetition o. the
scenes of ls4s they will do well to ALLOW Prussia
TO settle her own affairs.

THEATRICAL ADvERTIsNG.-Some of the Jour.
nails have cOntradicted the statement made by the
HERALD, to the effect that Mr. Srakosch, the new
inpressario Of the Opera, had resolved to restrict
his advertisements to three or four of the dailv
newspapers having the largest circulation. This
contradiction is said to emanate from some per-
son who is presumed to be the agent of Mr..
Strak0sch; but we learn that Mr.. Strakosch has
no agent authorized to speak for him in the mat
ter, and we repeat the statement, the accuracv
of which cannot be doubted We have NO doubt
that Mr. Strakosch will be able to carry ont alY
the reforms that he has initiated, and that he wiI
materially cut down the expenses of the Opera bv
giving his official announcements to the three or
four daily journals having the largest circulation,
and that he will save great deal of money which
is usually thrown away upon morning, evening,
and Sunday papers which have no circulation
worth mentioning.
This is a reform which several of the managers
have long contemplated, but they have not had
efficient moral courage to carry it out. The
history of the italian Opera in New York has
one instance where manager attempted econo-
my in advertising. This manager was Mr. Fry,
who had an idea similar to that of Mr.. Strakosch.
only that Fry's was inverted. He advertised
only in the papers having the smallest circula-
ton, in order, we presume, to have the Opera as
exclusive an affair as possible. Some time ago
the manager of the Broadway theatre attempted
to carry out the system of economy in adverts-
ing by giving his lengthy announcements to the
HERALD alone, and his smaller notices to the
Express and other journals of the same
order. He, however, was driven out of
the idea by the savage attacks upon
his theatre by these newspapers. Had he been
possessed of sufficient nerve to have turned these
attacks to account, and considered them as grar
tuitous puffs over the left hand, they would have
been much more valuable to the theatre than all
the nauseous puffs over the right hand with
which the Express and kindred journals are
filed.
With regard to Signor Strakosch there is DO
doubt that he will adhere to his purpose, which
is fully concurred in by the executive committee
Of the owners OF the Academy. With a very fine
company shortly to be strengthened, in all pro-
liability, by the addition Of Madame d 'Angri with
whom he is in negotiation-there is no doubt that
his enterprise will be rewarded with the favor of
the public, and that he will have moral courage
enough to smile at all the jibes and .jeers which
the small fry newspaper trash may heap upon him.
AT any rate his attempt is curious incident in
newspaper history, and highly praseworthy as
the same time.

GRowlxG MEN.-Dr. w. Holmes has
shown what everybody knows, that We are,
as race, deteriorating. But he has not
given us the reason why the New England
man grows smaller in bone and MUSCLE
Chemistry tells us it is owing TO the want
of material in the soil TO produce BONE
Much is owing TO our unnatural habits Of
lille. Much 10 the weakness Of our female
sex, who do anything but develop their mus
cular powers. But the main reason why
the race deteriorates so rapidly in the East
ern part of New England, is owing 10 the
hard granite soil, which does not furnish
limestone sufficient to form the bones. In
Kentucky, Ohio and Western Vermont
men grow 10 large size because Of the lime
stone formation under the soil. Parts Of
families have emigrated to limestone region
and the result in the next generation, has
been a larger bone development in those
who left Massachusetts than in those wht
remained. Kentucky, Ohio and Iowa viii
grow great men. The finest figures in thu
world will be found in the valley CT thu
Mississippi in few generations. Indoor
labor, so unnatural for men, will weaker
the vital powers and stop the growth ii
large cities, but The great and glorious West

MANS LOVE:

When womon's eyes grow dull
And her cheek paleth,
When fades the beautiful,
Then mans love fadeth,
He sits beside her chair,
Clasps not her fingers,
Twines not the damp hair,
That DER her brow fingers.
He comes but moment in, .A.
Though her eye lightens,
Though her cheek pale and thin,
Feverishly brightens;
He stays but moment near,
When that flush fadeth,
Though true affections tear,
Her soft eyelid shadeth.
He goes from her chamber straight,
Into life's jostle,
He meets at the very gate
Business and hustle;
He thinks not Of her within,
Silently signing,
He forgets in that noisy din
That she is dying!
And when her heart is still,
What though he mourneth,
Soon from his sorrow chill
Wcaried he turneth,
Soon DER her buried head
Thus man iorgeteth!
woMAN's LOVE.
When man is waxing fraii,
And his hand is thin and weak.
And his bps are parched and pale,
And wan and white his cheeks:
Oh then doth woman prove
Her constancy and love!
She stitch by his chair;
And holds his feeble hand;
She watcheth ever there,
His wants 10 understand;
His yet unspoken will
She hasteneth to.fullil.
She leads him, when the moon
Is bright DER dale and hill,
And all things save the tune
or the honey bees are still,
Into the Garden bowers,
To sit midst herbs and flowers.
And when he goes not there,
To feed upon breath and bloom,
She brings the posey rare
; Into his darkened room,
And meath his weary head
The pillow smoothe doth spread.
Until the hour when death.
His lamp Of lie doth dim,
She never Wearlelh,
She never leaveth lin:
Still near him night and day,
She meets his eye Away.
And when his trials DER,
And the turf is on his breast,
Deep in her bosom's core
Life's sorrows uneXpress'd;
Her tears, her signs are weak,
Her settled grief to speak.
And though there may arise
Balm for her spirits pain,
And though her quiet eyes
May sometimes smile again;
Still she must regret
She never can forget
