gB A Norwegian citizen of Chicago,
who has Just returned from visit to his ma
tive country, and who saw there his old and
intimate friend Ole Bull, furnishes some in
teresting information relative to that gifted
but unfortunate man. He was living in
peaceful and transformations retirement upon
the wreck of his property, but still possess
ing that warmness and geniality of heart
and soul which always characterized him.
He expects to go to England and France
this winter, and spend two or three years in
the principal cities of those countries. He
will PROBABLY never return to America,
where ne is known aud admired so heartily.
The conversation between Ole Bull and his
friend turned upon the losses which the lat
ter had Sustained through the dishonesty
aud rap..city of those whom he had trusted,
and his friend said to him that he should
not so indiscriminately repose confidence in
those around him, but should be careful,
watch his own Interests, and place implicit
belief in the honesty Of no one whom he
had not proved "Yes," said Ole Bull, "no
doubt that is true; but were l to do so,
could play no longer. 1t would choke me.
would feel it here" placing his hand on
his great and noble heart; az would feel it
here, and must have the free and pure at
mosphere which suspicion and petty careful
ness cannot endure" There spoke the true
poet-the impracticable, restless, reckless
son of fancy and of poesy.

and that, so far, although there exists a
strong party against him, there is no oppo-

illustrious John anything but a good char

We made a short visit to Evansville this
week, and found the citizens of that city in
good health and fine spirits. A few COM
planned of hard times, but as general
thing the anticipation of good time COM
ing, was Frightening up the visages of most
Of the business men of the city. Several
of the merchants were preparing TO go East
for fresh supplies Of goods; among the num-
Der were Messrs. J. Ii. MCGEE & Co., who
contemplate bringing one of the largest and
finest stock Of goods ever brought to Evans
vile. Phillip Decker, manufacturer of soap,
lard oil, and dealer in tallow, candles, &c,
has heavy stock in his line, to which the
attention Of the trade is directed
Merchants can be supplied ut Evansville
on as favorable terms as at Cincinnati, with
all the articles of commerce in western
towns. The only barrier to the trade be-
tween this section Of Illinois and that city,
is the shipping facilities. No arrangements
has been made for re-shipping at Vincennes,
where goods and produce can be forwarded
with any certainty, or on such terms rs
would be an inducement 10 turn the channel
Of trade in that way,

BGTThe Methodists of New Albany have
yard in that city during the past two Sab
baths. Preaching in the open ali is becom-
ing fashionable, and thereis, no doubt, much
good arising from it. The Ledger says
there were about FIVE hundred persons pres
emit, aUd during the whole time the strictest
attention was paid to the speaker. The
ministers Of other denominations have been
invited TO participate in the exercises.

DG~ The taxation which the British Par
Lament imposes this year for the support of
Government, amounts to the enormous sum
Of e69,O0e,0oo, or S445, 100000. OF this
sum, over f2s, 200, 900 go to pay interest
on the national debt and over SIG, 100000
are required for the army and navy. The
taxation exceeds the cost of our General
Government, and all of the State and mu-
nicipal governments in the Union, combined.
We are taxed beyond what is necessary, but
are not so badly off as the people of the
British Islands. % l -H --A g

nsa. Three pieces of the famous Atlantic
Cable were purchased for the purpose OF
running a submarine line across the river
at St. Louis. The first piece worked three
weeks, the second thirteen hours, the third
twenty-four. The scsuse of the difficulty
cannot be detected. From this it may be
inferred that there is some radical fault in
the cable.

ATTEMPTING TO FLY.-The Madison Jour

ATTEMPTING TO FLY-The Madison Jour
nal relates the following incident:\ u
Two or three weeks since a man named
Whiting, living near Sun Prairie, IN this
county, got religion so bad that he-was- too
pure for the prairie, and, accordingly, at
tempted to come to Madison or some other
religious place. He was too. pure to, travel
like a mortal, and having faith that he could
fly to his destination, he attempted the ex-
pertinent. He procured an umbrella, and
climbed to the topmost branches Of tree
in the skirts of a timber, After hosting
his umbrella, he jumped from the tree, and
began to kick and sqUabble, thereby think
ing to propel himself through the air. La
Mountain or Wise did not work harder than
our hero; but alas for human calculations,
instead of going ahead, he quickly descend
ed to the ground, holding ON to the umbrella
for dear life. He at last reached terra Jfrma
in sound state, ard has now made up his
mind that faith is good thing, but should
not be taken in too large doses 5eg l.-..,

pN- There was an alarm of FIRE up town

Rg- There was an alarm of fire up town
day before yesterday, qad it was amusing to
one sitting id cool, shady place, and look
ing onwith the calm, contemplatiye mind
of a spectator, who had no house of his own
to burn, to see tho ridieuieasly lazy attempts
made by few scattering patriots TO drag
the huge Washington Fire Engine down
Main street jjast-after dinner and-in-the
hottest part of the day 1t seems that each
one who feighedS to push orspnii, tried his
best to see just how little he could exert
himself and keep up appearances. The old
disbanded fremen sat on the corners and
chuekled at the futile idea of the few broad
cloth-wearing, property holding nrbans
hoping to put out chicken coop atire with
out the aid of the "b'hoys." Citizens looked
on listlessly, and uainterested-idlers- Curl
ously. Weespied oneTeity Father walk
ing in the cool Of his door yard, with hat
off and slippers on, listening to the family
jingiing fire bells with the same unperturbed
calinness that Nero displayed when he fid-
led while Rome was in flames, and seeming
to say-mentally, of course, for he is a
church member straihti my house let 'er
burn and be darned" The alarm proved false,
the fire izzled, the fremen mizzled, and the
unwieldy "mersheen" was slowly dragged
home. --.-,-..-

= GSS" The Mormons have hitherto turned
a deaf ear to sermons from the ministers of
Gentle congregations, aud, have but once
or twice, if ever. invited or permitted min
lister of a Protestant denomination to
address them. An exception to this rule of
their church--which foreshadows dawn of
light into the darkness which surrounds
them-has lately occurred, and is worthy
of mention. A gentleman of this city learns
by letter that the Rev. Mr.. Vaux, formerly
pastor of St. Panl'S Church in Evansville,
and now of Fort Laramie, was in Salt Lake
City on the 18th of June, and, willie there
was invited to preach in the Tabernacle to
congregation of near 5000 Mormons.

especially is music, By many, regarded as
very fitting, pleasant, and appropriate on the

in the evidence on thiscase, that some Of the
quiet, dwellers in the neighborhood of the
Sixt Hotel regarded the nocturnal sounds
evoked from the lager soaked epigastriums
of the Dutch concert : aforesaid, as any
thing but musical. Indeed, it was regard

perfect nuisance, such as should only be
