SINGULAR FACT CONCERNING THE NAvIGA-
TIoN OF LAKE ONrARIo.-During the past
twelve years, says the Rochester Union, more
than dozen vessels have gone ashore be-
tween the mouth of Genesee River and q
point dozen miles west, and in every in
stance the disaster has been attributed to a
defect in the compasses by which the vessels
we're steered. We have during the period
named recorded these disasters and have OBJ
served the peculiar phraseology used by the
masters in the protests they entered. Nearly
all of them declare upon oath that they made
Sodus Light and then steered northwest, a
direction that would take them well over to
Toronto, and while on this course they ran
ashore just west Of the Genesee River.
The last cases We have of this singular way
of navigating occurred last week. The schooner
Andouer went ashore at Braddock's Point, and
the master swears in his protest that he sailed
northwest from Sodus Light. While the
steam tug Page was at work at the Andouer on
Thursday night, the schooner III. L. Whitman
ran ashore near by. The tug went to her as
sistance before she got hard on, and she was
relieved and went on her voyage. We under
stand that the Whitman, too, was sailed by the
compass, and bearing northwest from Sodus
Light.
This popularity in misfortune which bas at
tended so many ships sailing as we have de-
scribed, can hardly be attributed to derange-
ment of the compasses by local causes on ship
board. May there not be some influence on
shore in the vicinity to which the vessels tend
that effects the compass, and thus mis- lead
them The subject is worthy of investiga-
ton.

PRACTICAL JOKE BY HARRIET HOsMER ON AN
UNPUNCTuAL PHYSICIAN. - Harriet Hosmers
health having given her father some uneasi-
ness, physician in largo practice was called
in to attend her. The rather uncertain visits
OF this physician proved a source of great
annoyance and some real Inconvenience to his
patient, inasmuch as they interfered with her
rides and drives, shooting and boating exour-
sions. Having borne with the inconvenience
some time, she requested the gentleman, as O
great favor, to name an hour for his call, that
she might make her arrangements accordingly.
The physician agreed, but punctuality is not
always at the command of professional men.
Matters were as bad as ever. Sometimes the
twelve o'clock appointment did not come off
till three in the afternoon.
One day, in particular, DR.. - was some
hours after the time. A playful quarrel took
place between the physician and the patient,
and he rose to take his leave, and offered
another appointment; Miss Hosmer insisted
upon his giving his word to keep it.
"1f am alive" said he, W will be here"
naming some time on q certain day.
"Then if you are not here" was the reply,
81 am to conclude that you are dead"
Thus they parted. The day and hour ar
rived, but no doctor made his appearance.
That evening Miss Hosmer rode into Boston,
and next morning the papers announced the
decease OF DIR. ----. Halfof Boston and its
neig ghborhood rushed to the physicians house
to leave cards and messages of coincidence for
the family, and to inquire into the cause Of
the sudden and lamentable event.

The OPINION OF SOUTHERN MAN On TIL
FREEDOM OF THE SOUTH, The Rev. Charles H
A. Bulkley, pastor of the Congregations
Church in Patterson, is Southern man BY
birth. In his sermon on Thanksgiving Day
he took occasion 10 contrast the effects Of free
dom in the North with those ofslavery in the
South, terminating with an allusion to Old John
Brown. In speaking of what had fallen un-
der his own observation at the South, be said
that so despotc was the institution Of slavery,
he could not 60 to the spot where his venerable
fathers bones reposed, in South Carolina, and
over his grave offer up prayer that the mis-
sion of Christ might be accomplished, without
being treated to a coat of tar and feathers, il
not stretched his full length with no platform
beneath him While praying to God that the
system might be brought to peaceful termi-
nation, the speaker declared his conviction
that the free Northern men should "keep their
powder dry" Is well as "put their trust in
God" and that, for his part, he was "resdy to
do his whole duty in destroying the accursed
system, when the day Of trial should come

WENDELL PHILLIPS ON THE NEGRO RACE AND
JOHN BROwN.-Wendel Phillips delivered a
lecture in Philadelphia on Monday evening,
and is thus reported:
He would endeavor to prove that this negro
race, instead of being an object of contempt
and pity, is entitled, by its achievements, to
stsnd side by side with the Saxon in the cata-
logue Of nations. The speaker then sketched
the difference between the Saxons and the
African races. There were two instances of
Saxon disnterestedness-- when the phi.
lanthropists of Britain emancipated nation in
the West India isles, upon whose face they
had never looked; the second was when that
old man of Connecticut went down to the bor-
ders of Virginia and flung himself into the
breach of slavery, sacrificing his life for prin-
cple that the church had always despised, and
the Government trampled under foot.
He would select Phocion as the model Of
Grecian glory; Cato as the noblest of Romans;
Lafay etto as the exemplar of French freedom;
Hampden as the type of English liberty
Washington as the representative of the primi-
tive days of American splendor, and John
Brown, Of Connecticut, as Gods best and dear
est gift to this later generation. Then dip
ping his pen in the clear sunlight of truth, he
would write above them all, in tho clear ceru-
lean blue, the name of the hero of his race and
the martyr of freedom, Toussaint = Ouuerture

PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA.-A recent publica-
tion of the Ministry of Algeria and the Colo
nies make some curious statements relating to
the plgrimages to Mecca during the present
year. The ceremonies at Mecca terminated
on the 1lth of last month in the presence OF
about $4,000 pilgrims, of whom 1880 had
come by sea, and 32,l5O by land. In 1858
there were 16O, 900 pilgrims; in 1857, 14O 900;
and in 1856, l2O 900. This great decrease in
the number in 1859 is owing, tho natives de-
clare, to the events of Djeddah last year, and
also to the dread of the cholera, which made
extensive ravages in 1858. As soon as the
pilgrim sets foot on the soil of Mecca be must
put on two pieces of white cloth, one tied
around the loins with ends hanging down to
the middle of the leg, while the other is
thrown over the shoulder so as to leave the
right free. He must go bareheaded and wear
sandals. As long as he wears this garment
he is bound to lead pure and regular life.

MATILDA, COUNTESS OF TUsCANY.-She was
one of the noblest of women, above and beyond
her age, except in the superstitions of reli-
gious faith to which she had been scrupulously
educated, and her subsorviency to priest
hood of which she saw the possible good and
torgot the real evil. Austere and self -tortur-
ing, as her ghoStly advisers required, she was
wisely munifcent, embellishing Tuscany with
palaces and monuments, and improving it with
bridges, hospitals, and schools. She loved and
collected books, studied with persevering dill
gence, using the Latin, Italian, French and
German languages with equal ease, and ex-
hibiting in her judicious patronage of the
learned the result of her acquaintance with
these best of teachers. Just and energetic in
the council chamber, brave and self collected
in the camp, striving to shield the oppressed
and uplift the fallen, she afforded an example
OF moral grandeur such as was seldom seen in
her century. The aplendor of her reign over
almost the whole of Northern Italy, and the
glowing patriotism which sought to free her
country from foreign domination, entitle her
to the highest regard; but she is still better
known for her vigorous support of the Papacy.
From the contempt into which the Vice
Regency Of Heaven had fallen, Hildebrand,
become Gregory VII, determined to rescue it,.
Intense in his bigotry, arrogance and amb-
ton, bold, ssgacious and dexterous, he gave
to the tiara an exterior of greater decency,
but he organized a despotism from the afro
cities of which the mind and heart turn with
horror. Matilda upheld the man and ap-
proved the despotism, blinded by her dread
of Germany, and queted by the fancied sane
tity of ecclesiastical requirement. Yet if she
did mistake vast engine of oppression for
the beautiful freedom bequeathedto to the world
by the great Examplar of the religion which
she protessed, how many erred also with her.

The PHENOMENA OF HUNGER-IFs BAMFI-
oEECE AND M MALEvoLENCE.-Th his clear and intel
esting statement of the cause and phenomena
Of hunger is taken from Mr.. Lewes g. Physioleqs- =
Of Common Life, work in which the facts Of
daily experience are presented in very attract
i've style:
Hunger is one of the benifcspt and terrible
instincts. 1t is, indeed, the very fire of life,
underlying all impulses to labor, and moving
man to noble activities by its imperious
demands. Look whore we may, we see it as
the motive power which sets the vast array of
human machinery in action. sH ''
1t is hunger which brings these stalwart
navies together in orderly gangs to cut paths
through mountains, to throw bridges across
rivers, to intersect the land with great iron
ways which bring city into communication with
city. Hunger is the invisible observer of the
men who are erecting palaces, prison houses,
barracks and villas. Hunger sits at the loom
which, with stealthy power, is weaving the
wondrous fabrics Of cotton and silk. Hunger
labors at the furnace and the plow, coercing
the native Incidence of man into strenuous
and incessant activity.
Let the food be abundantand easy of access,
and civilization becomes impossible-so in
absolutely dependant are our highsrs efforts
on our lower impulses. Nothing but the me-
cessities of food will force man to that labor
which he hates, and will always avoid when
he can. And although this seems obvious
only when applied to the laboring classes, it is
equally though less obviously true when ap-
piled to all other classes, for the money we all
labor to gain is nothing but food, and the
surplus of food, which will buy other mems
labor.
Hunger, although benefcent,i is no less ter
rible. When its progress is unchecked, it
becomes devouring flame, destroying all
that is noble in man. Hunger is stimulus
to crime, no less than to honest labor. 1t
wanders through dark alleys, whispering
desperate thoughts into eager ears; and It
maddens the shipwrecked crew till they cast
away all shame, all pity, all desire of respect,
and perpetrate deeds which cannot be men
toned without horror. Hunger subjugates
the humanity in man, and makes the brute
predominate. Impelled by this ferocious in
stiuct, men have eaten their companions, and
women have eaten their own children. Hun
ger has thus a twofold character; beside the
picture of the activities it inspires, we must
also contemplate the picture Of the ferocites
it evokes.

Bloody and Brutal PlOt-John Brown
to be Rescued-The Secret of Prof.
LOwe's Delay-The Charlestown Of
fcers and Jail to be Carried of.
The following fair burlesque we find in one
of our exchanges. By mere accident,we have
obtained possession of the following bloody
and brutal plot, conceived by bloody and
brutal Black Republican of this State:
Professor Lowe, who is now engaged in inhat-
ing his monster balloon, with which he intends
shortly to sail for Europe, has been employed
to remain in New York with his balloon until
some lark night, when there shall be strong
north wind, when he is to ascend in his bal
loon with dozen packs of fire crackers, and
steer his aerial ship directly for Charlestown,
Va. When near that city he is to set fire to q
pack of crackers and throw it overheard, leav-
ing them to explode on their descent to the
ground, and then to proceed in the same man
ner with the remaining eleven packs, by which
time, it is presumed, the people at Harper's
Ferry will all be frightened to death. The
balloonist is then to descend directly over the
Jail, make fast to it, and, ascending again,
take up the jail, with Old Brown in it, and steer
directly for England, where he will deliver
Old Brown to tho bloody and brutal abolition
lists in that country, who, it is expected, will
Ionic the old sinner by exhibiting him at
Exeter Hall, thus robbing Virginia gallows of
its victim, and Jefferson County of its Jail.
N. Bit is expected that the audacity
of the bloody and brutal rebels will not stop
even here. Some of the ungodly gang sug-
gest the expediency of taking up Governor
Wise, the militia, the judge, jury, and wit
nesses on Old Browns trial, to be used, as oc-
casion may require, for gas or ballast.

A DAUGHTER OF SCHILLER ALIvB.-It will

ter OF Schiller is still extant to rejoice in the
universal homage paid to him, not only by the
5O,OOO,OOO Of mis- countrymen in Europe, but
by the widespread German race in British and
other colonies all over the world. In the Augs-
burg Gazette there oppears letter from this
lady, the Baronne Emily de Gleichen Russ
wurm, (nee de Schiller,) whose residence is
Groifnsten sur Bonnoland, Lower Franconia,
in Bavaria. She earnestly asks to be supplied
with copies Of all odes, speeches, musical COM
positions and other documents, illustrative, in
every town and place, of ber fathers memory,
that she may treasure up as heirloom for her
children these titles of true nobility.

The ALL-sEEINa EYE-THE AGONY OF CAIN.
Here is an extract from the Legend ola Con-
SCIENCE" by Victor Hugo: A
"When, along with his children, clothed in
the skins of wild beasts, distraught, wan, in
the midst of tempests, Cain fled from before
Jehovah, as night was falling, the gloomy
man came to the foot of a mountain in great
plain; his weary wife and his painting chill
dren said to him: 'Let us lie down on the
ground and Sleep Cain, not sleeping, sat
thinking at the loot of the mountain. Rails
ing his head, he saw in the depths of the fu-
neral heavens an eye, wide open in the dark
ness, gazing ixedly on him through the night.
q am too near he said, trembling. He
awakened his sleeping children, his weary
wife, and renewed his woful journey, going
thirty days and thirty nights, silent, pale,
furtive, startled at every sound, not looking
behind him, without truce, without rest, till he
reached the shore of the sea.
"'Let us rest here he said, for it is q sure
asylum; we have reached the bounds Of tho
world AS he sits down, he sees the eye in
the same place in the lurid horizon. And
black horror seises him, and he cries: Hide
me;' and Jubel, father of those who live under
tents in tho desert, drew tent about him; and
when he sat encompassed by its thick folds
little Tsilla, his sons child, fair as the morn.
ing, asks: You no longer see anything?' and
Cain answers: Il still SEQ tho eye.' And Jubal
built about him wall of brass, but that eye
still gazed upon him. Then Tubal Cain and
his brothers built a great city, with walls as
thick as mountains, and wrote upon the gate,
God shall not enter and they placed Cain in
great tower of stone within, and there the
eye looked steadfastly on the dresry, haggard
man. Then he said, 'Let me dwell under the
groundj' and Cain said, 1T is good Then he
went down into it, and when he was seated
there in the dark, and they had closed it up
with great stone, 'the eye was in the tomb
and looked on CAIN"

A DEVIL OF A DooToR--P PHOSPHORUS AND
PHYsIc.-A German doctor, supposed to be a
descendant of DR.. Faustus, in Hanover, Penn,
was recently called upon by Mr.. Peter
Reed to attend his daughter for sore throat

which ignited, set the girls clothing on FIRE
burnt her person severely, and also set the
house in flames. SO disgusted was he with
his i'll success with the phosphorus and hi,
great success with the fire thathe attempted tt
blow his brains out the next day, and was
only prevented, it is supposed, by lack O.
something to blow.

A QUEER MlLLIONAIRE.-E]ias Howe, jr., the
lucky fellow who gets 100000 year royalty
on sewing machines, is one Of the oddities on
Broadway. He is the parsonage whom no
visitor to our city can fail to see, dressed in q
Quakercut coat white cravat, and almost ex-
tinguished under a gigantic hat, which might
have been the companion of the supernatural
helmet in the "Castle of 0tranto." Beneath
this flows heavy stream of rich brown hair
reaching to the shoulder blades, and inviting
people behind to give it a pull-an invitation
which I have, with difficulty, resisted on many
occasions. Mr.. Howe was the inventor of the
sewing machine, though he is not now engaged
in its manufacture.

BOLD ATTEMPT TO BURN THE WASHINGTON
PENITENqIARY.-A most daring attempt was
made on Saturday to burn the United States
Penitentiary at Washington, which was hap
PLY frustrated. The plot was laid by George
Nelson, discharged convict, whose term of
sentence expired on the Oath ult. He entrusted
his plans to Kelly, and on Saturday night at
the hour named, appeared at the east wall and
attempted to get over and set the out buildings
on fire. Kelley had previously divulged the
plan, and when it was attempted, Nelson and
an accomplice were taken, the former being
shot in the back during the scufie that en-
sued.
