Mr.. Mason, our Minister at Paris, has
sent dispatches to the State Depart
ment, which speaks in flattering terms
Of the treaty negotiated by Mr.. Reed
with China. 1t is said to be similar
in all respects with those concluded
with France and England.
The exhibition of native American
fruits, in connection with the present
Convention Of the American Pomolog-
ical Association, at N. Y, continued
two days, a large number of visitors
we're attracted thither by the public
notification. The display was in every
way gratifying to the eyes, and from
exterior indications the various fruits
gave promise Of luscious favor. The
varieties are too numerous to enumer-
ate, but there has never been finer
collection of fruits, of every variety in
the world than that exhibited at Mozart
Hall.

NJ. Samuel Kennedy, who some time
ago went to Havana 70 arrange with =
company TO lay line Of submarine
cable between souse point on our south
western coast and Cuba, has just re-
turned to New York, having been en-
tireIy successful in his enterprise. The
full stock Of the company $500 OOO)
been subscribed and 10 per cent paid
in. The charter now only needs the
sanction If the Queen Of Spain, and the
Captain General has promired his aid
in obtaining it. Mr.. Kennedy having
obtained charters from the States OF
Georgia and Florida, is about to pro-
coed South for the purpose Of definite
ly locating the land connections OF thls
line. Two routes are now under con-
sideration-one from Macon, Georgia,
to St. Marks, n Florida, by way OF
Americas, Albany and Tallahassee ;
the other is from Havana to Cedar
Keys, crossing the Altamaha river and
passing through Brunswick, Darlen and
Frenandina.
A citizen Of Canandaigua has rcceiv-
ed letter from Brigham Young, in
reply to one asking solution Of GER
tain points in controversy in regard to
his early life. Brigham says that he
was born in Nottingham, VT, June l,
1901. In early life his father remov-
ed to Western New York, where
Brigham lived until he joined the
Mormon Church, in 1882. He also
mentions that he has fine family OF
boys and girls, some of whom are mar
ried, but without mentioning the num-
Der of his wives or children, he adds
that he has fifteen living and two dead
grandchildren.
Advices from Utah state that it is
reported that among the arrivals from
the States during the coming autumn,
will be that of Bishop GLADDEN., who
stands at the head of a Mormon sect
which does not recognize the right of
Brigham Young to his position IN the
Church. The Gladdonites arc said also
to repudiate the practice of polygamy.
There arc a few of them in the Terri
tory, but hey dare not express their
opinions in public. One of their num-
Der, named Albert Smith, undertook to
preach Gladdonism from a wagon in
the streets, in 1852. lie was soon sur
rounded by crowd of indignant Brig
hamitcs, and the City Marshal, Mr..
Jesse G. Little, caught him by the col
lar, dragged him from the wagon, and
led him away, alleging that he did SO
from motives of bencvolence, for if he
continued to harangue he would surely
have his throat cut. The next Sunday
Brigham used this language in the
Tabernacle:
II tell Albert Smith that he had
better clear right out, and that straight
too, or | will cut his id throat and
send him to hell cross lots.
The result wos, Of course, the flight
of Smith from the Territory.
Advices from London bv the Van
dcrbilt steamer, state that Prof.
Hughes would have his machines in
readiness to work the cable on or about
the sth inst, on which day the Allan
tic Company expect to dispatch spe
cial steamer to Trinity Bay, with one
of Prof. Hughes assistants on board.
Prof. Hughes says, unhesitatingly, that
he can transmit intelligence through the
cable, reliably and continuously at the
rate of from three to six words per
minute.

Vandever . Traitor to the R epublJcan Par
WThe PrOOh-AHdavits Of Citizens Of
Delhi.

In speech delivered at Delhi, in
Delaware county, after having been
cornered and driven from position
after position by Mr.. Leffingwell, Mr..
Surveyor Vandever, in answer to
question propounded by Mr.. John H.
Peters, of that place, declared that
he would vote for the admission of
a Slave State, provided it was the
wish of the people to come into the
Union with Slave Constitution.
Afterwards, in his speeches at Vim
ton and other places, being similarly
wound up" by the logic of Mr.. Lief
tingwell, he was forced to repeat the
same heretical sentiment, to avoid con-
tradcting himself and crawfshing" in
the same speech. Thus this apostle of
republicanism-this advocate of repub-
lican principles--this man who recently
lifted up his voice among the loudest
in the cry of "no more Slave States
under any circumstance" -this con-
slstcnt politician, who in his speech de-
livered in this city, declared that he
stood upon the Philadelphia Platform,
went about in the northern counties of
this State, denying his principles, re-
pudating the platform of his party
and seating his own words"
On his return to the city of Dubuque,
finding that his heresy had produced
the very natural result of creating an
immense sensation among all republi-
cans, who are such in principle as well
as in name,-fnding that he was like
ly to be repud;ated by the Jackson Co.
Journal, which declared that he was
advocating principle ''directly at va
rance with the leading article Of re-
publican faith, I'm a word, finding
that he had subjected himself to the
scorn of all honest and consistent men,
he caused MS home organ, the Dubuque
Times, to deny that he had ever used
the words which we have quoted.
When the question was put home to
the Gazette. by the Democrat, whether
it could consistently support man
entertaining such sentiments-when it
found itself in position where its only
course was to repudiate its candidate
Tor Congress, the denial of Mr.. Vande-
yer in the Dubuque Times, came as a
0odsend, and our contemporary pub
iished 1t a. viudication of his charac-
ter. Being thus happily relieved from
it, difficulties, and con- graduating itself
upon the fact that the ugly question
was disposed Of and that the .lviup
mouth'ofthe Democrat was finally shut,
the Gazetts relapsed into the state Of
vacuity from which it had been star.

.B- If an art critic happens to be fool,
he is magnificent one. Hero is "a palpa-
bic hi" at a class OF criticisms that are
everywhere too common.
The critic is supposed to visit a gallery Of
paintings; he has passed sentence upon
several of them. and does the eighteenth
after the following artistic fashion:
NO. 1S-"A' man washing his hands"
q. Prig) a step in the right direction. The
painting of the nail brush, showing where
friction has worn has worn away and chan
neled the bris:!es in the middle, is especial
ly good. But how comes it that, the nail
brush having been evidently made use of,
the water in the basin is still pellucid, with
no soap apparent, either specifically or in
solution? This oversight shonld not have
expected in so clever an artist. Even grant
ing c'earness to the water, the pattern of
the bottom of the basin visible through it
is of different character from the exterior
of the vessel, which is not the case in any
specimen Of that particular deli which has
come under my notice"
Mark the keen appreciation, the close OBJ
servation, the masterly clare obscure, as he
would say of the whole criticism. 1t fairly
rival the nail brush, and that is especially
good!"
