Death ola Virginian in New York.

Mr.. FaNette Robinson. the second victim of the
poisoning affair nj Mrs. Betham's boarding house,
f"urternth street New York, was II gentleman of
much literary reputation. He native of
Richmond city, SON Of the late Anthony Robinson
who, for 81 many years filled the post of Cashier
in the Virginia Bank at Richmond and was high
ly educated aud talented. Some twelve or four
teen years ago after n long period of travel he
settled in New York. and accepted an engagement
in the Tribune Office. His requirements us
:, irsai>t rendered him q valuable assistant
in the cnndnct Of a newspaper. Speaking
ard writing eight or ten languages with
huenc, he enjoyed advantages OF far more
than an ordinary character. After brief period
ui newspaper service in the Tribune and Ucr
old establishments, in both of which he was
chiefly employed as translator, he entered into
othcr branches of business, but had not been pub
licy tr some time previous to his death i'll health
and broken constitution preventing him from
active exercise. lie was well known MS the author
OF three woiks-"Alexico and the Military Chief!
tains," published in Philadelphia, in ls47; ''Or-
ganlzaton OF the United States Army" in two
Volumes published in lS4S md "Cnliiornia and
its Gold Regions" published in New York. some
ten years ago.
Mr. Robinson and his wife had boarded at the
house of Mrs. Betham tor short time. The et-
feet oi the poison administered ut the breakfast
table on Wednesday morning, acted upon an en-
icebtd frame So strongly, that he died on Satur-
age and will be recollectcd by many of our hume
rous Richmond readers.
EXCAVATIONS AT ArnENs-The Archaeological
Society of Athens is actively proceeding with ex-
cayatons in the vicinity Of the Temple of Theseu,
and fragments of architecture and sculpture are
continually being discovered. Among other OBJ
iects recently found was an ancient inscription.
in which the form of the characters warrants the
c"nj eeturc that they were written from right to
left. In the course OF digginGs on the acropolis
there were recently found in the cistern in front
of the Parthenon some remains Of the best period
ofancent Greek sculpture consisting of small
male and female figures. Fragments of inscrp-
tons were likewise found, and it is hoped that
further search will bring light the portions re.
| qusite to admit Of their being fully decipherel
Among the fragments recently dug up one Of the
most remarkable is horses foot, which is sup
posed to belong to the sculptures of the Parthenon
There is also a colossal hand, which it is conec
tured may have belonged to the statue Of Neptune
and if 81 it il the hand that held the trident In
| front of the Parthenon, and extending along the
whole: breadth Of the edifce eight steps were cut
in the rock Of the acropos. These steps are now
uncovered. Many of the objects, which are con-
linually being dug up are fragments Of antiqu-
ties already known and preserved in museums in
| mutiluted state.

Hon. Gro. W. JosEs. who has been n member
Of Congress from Tennessee Tor fifteen or twenty
years. has declined reelection. lie says lac is
tired Of public life. Like Letrher. he was one Of
the "watch-dogs Of the Treasury" Both Of them
having watched the Treasury until the money is
all gone. We suppose they feel that they have now
no further business in Congress. Jones was
man Of medium talents, and affected bluntness

DAMASCUS.

Damascus is the oldest city in the world --
Tyre and Sydon have crumbled on the shore:
Raalbec is II ruin; Palmyra is buried in the
sands of the desert; Nineveh and Babylon
have disappeared from the Tigris and Eu
pirates: Damascus remains " hat it was be
fore the days of Abraham centre of trade
and trayel--an island Of yerdure in a desert
ia predestinated capital" with martial
and sacred associations extending through
more than thirty centuries. 1t was near
Damascus, that Saul Of rarsus saw the light
from Heaven above the brightness of the
sum-" the street, which is called Strait, in
which it was said "he prayeth, still runs
through the city. The caravan comes and
goes as il did a thousand years ago; there are
still the sheik the ass, aud the waterwhecl;
the merchants of the Euphrates and of the
Mediterranean still occupy these with the
multitude Of their waters" The city which
Mahomet surveyed from neighboring height,
aud was afraid to enter. because it is given
to man to have but one Paradise, and, for
his part, he was resolved not have il in this
world" is, to this day, what Julian called it.
the eve of the East" as it was in the time Of
Isaiah, "the head of Syria" From Damas-
Gus came the damson, our blue plum, and the
delicious apricot of Portugal, called Damas
, co; damask, our beautiful fabric of cotton and
| silk, with vines and flowers raised upon a
smooth bright ground; the damssk rose in
troduced into England in the time Of Henry
VIII; the Damascus blade, 80 famous the
world over for its keen edge and wonderful
elasticity, the secret of whose manufacture
was lost when Tamerlane carried of the ar
fists into Persia; and that beautiful art of in
laying wood and steel with silver and gold, a
kind of Mosaic, engraving and sculpture
united, called Damaskeening-with which
boxes and bureaus, and swords and guns,
are ornamented. 1t is still city of flowers
and bright waters; the streams from Lebanon.
the rivers Of Damascus" the "river of GOLD"
still murmur and sparkle in wilderness of
Syrian gardens"

Sca,ters her flowers NJ our feet.

But let our wishes blend
And bo We strangers never more,
But meet as friend meets friend
Tell me, must it, Can IT be,
That We have met, aud parted thus,
Like ships upon the Wild wide ssa,
To hold but one sweet hours converse,
Then To spread the snowy sail,
And DER the trackless main 10 go,
Alone to breast the ocean gale;
Never to meet again! ah, no!
Yes. we in dreams have often met.
And still veil meet in dreams;
But. ah! It's this that regret,

And yet tbs sweet-di, inely sweet,
