EUROPEAN CusroNs AT WAsnNGroN.--A
luscious Washington letter is to be found in
our paper this morning-giying most taking
description of the great Napier fete, few days
ago, in honor of the marriage Of the Princess
Royal of England, Miss Victoria Alexandrinn,
CAngelina, Jsmima Guelph, to his Dutch
Highness, the Prince of Prussia. Mynheer Will
helmus Gustavus Adolphus -, something or
her-Cguess he hasn't any last name, probably.)
For week past our exchanges have been full
to their rims with the crumbs, scrapings and
leavings of this party. Every single stitch that
"My Lord" and "My Lady, Napier had On--so
far as itwasby any daring possibility seeabIe-
has been duly, deliberately and tOadingly de-
scribed. We have no doubt that the fete
super.extra entertainment, and We ourselves,
should, no doubt, have enjoyed Lord Napier's
light wines and lager bier immensely-but still,
we submit that such thirst for royal gossip is
a weakness in a democratic people, who profess
such disgust forall sorts of fuss and feathers.

In Heaven Last Night


Last night there was festival in Heaven
The The sky burned with most majestic light;
ORION, Aquer, and the mighty Seven,
fIaIned like the banners Of some awful fight.
Inc g, stars hung clustering like white ivy round
me orie window of the curtaned sky,
as r1;hongh God had with festoons gaily bound
The cloud-draped arch thro which bis angels fly
Perchance the Master, in some distant place.
HAD hung mid-sky new created world
or with another sun had garnished space,
streaming below like gay flag unfurled.
Or It might be some great returning 6ay.
When an Archangel by holy feat,
Gained for his mighty crown another raw.
BY mastery at the games where angels meet.
The winds at sunset had an organ & sound,
And softly played low, religious tune
It may be at that hour some saint was crowned.
Who died when thro' his window looked th
moon.
Whatever was the cause, there was in Heaven
rare and grand display of pomp last night
Perhaps the Saviour and the great Eleven,
Revealed themselves unto angelic sight.

Fifth Congressional District of mississippi,
The death of the lamented QGITMAN having caused
vacancy in the Fifth Congressional District Of Mis-
sissppi, the people thereof looking around for
suitable successor. They will find it impossible to
fill his place adequately, as they have not another
QuITMAN but they may, from among the excellent
material that abounds in that District, make a very
good selection. We are glad to see that spirit is
manifested to select none but q sound, orthodox,
Southern Rights man a man who will perform his
duty undinchinglg, and who will not sacrifice the
rights OF honor Of the South OH the altar of mere
To choose candidate Of opposite characteristics Or
opposite opinions, would be to cast reproach, by inn
plcation at least, upon the memory of the warrior
statesman who has been translated to the better land
The names of several gentlemen are mentioned in
connection with the succession and prominent
among these are Ex-Governor John J. McRae and
ex-Attorney General David @. Glenn. Either would
make an excellent Representative. Both are able,
experienced and reliable men, and have largely par
tiCpated in public affairs and both loyal to the
South, and have no sympathy with submssiOnIsts Of
any kind or description. Mr.. Glenn is one of the
abest men in the South and if nomnated--a nomi-
nation is equivalent to an election in that district
would make his mark in Congress right speedily.
Mr.. McRhe served portion Of one session in the
United States Senate, and acquitted himself quite
credtably. Although we reside out of the district
and State, may be pardoned the hope that one or
the other will be chosen.

LAKE SHORE CORRESPONDENCE.
MISSISSIPPI CITY, Barnes Hotel,
Tulr, ~ 1879


July %, 1853
Dear Crescent: Were you ever at Barnes If not,
you have missed seeing the most lovely spot on the
coast. Barnes has not got the reputation of being
the most handsome man between the city and ocean
Springs, but he certainly has the most handsome
place. Barnes is generally very good natured man,
but you ought to see him smile when the Virginia
and Creole arrive and bring an accession to his
pany OF forty Or more good paying guests.
Thehote is very large capable OF accommodating,
l think, about four hundred 1t is as conveniently
arranged as a house well could be. Every room is
large and airy and the beds are clean. The table is
well supplied as is generally found at any summer
watering place. The comfort and pleasure of the
guests appear to be the paramount desire of Mr..
Barnes and his able assistants The beautiful grounds
the trees-the benches on the lawn-the paved
walks-the road around the premises-are all kept
in the most perfect order.
Our amusements consist in shooting the pistol and
rle-roIling ten,pins-playing bilards-sailing-
bathing and dancing, The pistol gallery is the best
on The coast. Some Of the ladies' shoot so we'll that
think there would be little need of their waiting
the arrival of their male friends to avense an insult
The boiling alley is occupied every morning by fair
ladies, with some Of whom 4ten strikes" are very
common.
/ The fishing is excellent just at this time Yester-
day thirty Or forty Spanish mackereI were caught
from Barnes wharf Let all who love fish aud fishing
"paek their dadsn and come on. The pretiest sight
here is in the evening from G4 to ocock-when the
grounds around the hotel and the entire length of
the wharf are filed with the fair ladies and the lovely
children, Qhe beaux, am sorry to say, are scarce)

The extent and grandeur of the structure of these

The extent and grandeur of the structure of thes
microscopic mansions in the deep, is thus describe
by Montgomery:
" saw the living pile ascend,
The mausoleum OF its architects
Still dying upwards as their labors closed.
F'rail were their forms, ephemeral their lives,
Their masonry mpershabe.
Atom by atom thus the mountain grew,
A Coral Island stretching east and west
Steep were the lanks, with precipices sharp
Descending to their base in ocean gloom.
Compared with this amazing edifce,
Raised by the feeblest creatures in existence,
What are the works of intellectual man,
His temples, palaces, aud sepulchres
Dust in the balance, atoms in the gale,
Compared with these achievements in the deep"

DECIDEDLY C0oL,-Just before Col. Blount had
concluded his preparations to return home with his
family, he received note from his wife. asking him
to pay her bills at the Napoleon Hotel, in Hoboken
including the fine of 5000 imposed upon Huneke for
contempt of Court in making false return to the writ
requiring him to produce Miss Blount. The Colonel
had declined paying Huncke's fine, as that worthy
been one of the most active in keeping his daughter
hidden from him, but settled the other bills, and the
unfortunate family sailed in the steamer for New
Orleans on the 24th, Mrs. B. promising the landlord
Of the hotel that DeRiyeres bill would be paid when
she reached home and got her own property under
her control.

Like the falling Of star,
Or as the flight Of eagles are
Like the fresh Springs gaudy hue,
Or silver drops Of morning dew
Like wind that chafes the food,
Or bubbles which on water stood
Fen snch is man, whose borrowed light
Is straight called in, and paid at night.
The wind blows out, the bubble dies,
The Spring entombed in Autumn lies:
The dew's dried up, the star is shot,
The flight is passed-and man forgot.

How THEY CATCH IGUANAs.-The Charleston
Courier is publishing series of interesting articles
upon the specimens Of natural history in the Charles
ton Museum, from one of which we extract the fol
lowing paragraph:
He is acutely sensible to the witching strains of
melody. Those who relish his delicate flesh avail
themselves of this gracious endowment, They APP
prOach him while in a state of sweet oblivion, and
gently restore him to consciousness y touching the
strings of a harp or playing on a lutte, and when no
instrument Of music is convenient they tickle his
soul with a windy whistle, The awakened is
ragished with the sound. and the animal glides from
slumber into a Paradise OF delights. His head and
tail keep time with the music he reclines on one
side, then the other he opens his mouth as
though to admit fuller dranght of the tuneul air.
The crafty minstrel adopts liVelier measure and
the delight Of the entranced animal is heightened
into rapture his body trembIes as though e0nyulsed;
his tail Ybrates rapidly be beats the ground yio-
lently with bis feet, and his whole nature is per-
meatcd with the symphony. His eyes are kept
tightly closed all the while though darkness were
congenia to the eCstaCy. The cbaFmer draws nearer
and nearer with noiseess tread; the asso flies from
his hand; the fatal circles are tightened round the
neck of the Iguana, and he opens his eyes only to
close them again forever for he is soon smoking on
the table
