A vEaY silly paragraph is going the
rounds Of some Of the papers, and has found
It's way into our own, that General Scott
had bes FIVE hundred bottles OF champagne
that Louis Napoleon would never re.enter
France alive. The opinion and the bet
both surprised General Scott this morning,
and he regrets that any friend or enemy
should have taken such liberties with his
name. Both statements are absurd and re
diculous. Gen. Scott is neither . betting
man nor aguzzler OF champagne. Ills
habits are extremely temperate, in oil things
and his manner OF life most exemplary one.
We do not know Gen. SCOTS opinions in
regard to the war in Europe, bat as the first
military man Of the age probably just the
reverse Of the one which somebody has put
into his mouth.--N. Y. Express.

Tears in my eyes. Though far away,
II seems rs IL were yesterday.
And Just a. when look on high
Through the blue silence Of the sky,
Fresh stars shine out. and more and more

Fresh words, fresh tones, fresh memories start
Before my eyes aud in my heart.

An exploration OF this sort, through the

an almost unknown region Of vast extent,
and supposed to be rich in its mineral re-
sources and its agricultural capabilities, is
one of great importance. That. the jour-
ney is perfectly feasible, and will probably
be, with men enough even one Of great
pleasure, there Can be no doubt. There
! may be some stirring adventure IN it;
Isofne peril by flood and field and from hos
tile bands OF red men; but its results, if it
be successfully carried out, will be worth
much both Of hardship and hazard.-Neu

Bryant and tho Alhambra.

The letters Of Mr. Bryant from Europe
have just been issued in book FORM It is
IN nexceedingly interesting volume, as would
be readily guessed I'VE extract the fol-
lowing reference to the famous Alhambra:
es ! am not about to describe Granada. !. AZ.
ter what Irving has written Of it, I should
as soon think Of attempting poem on the
wrath Of Achilles in competition of Ho-
imer. i Let me say Of it, however, that its
site is as beautiful and striking as its an
tiquities. There is. but one Alhambra;
there il out one Granada. Could it have
been the taste of the Moorish sovereigns;
could it have been their sense of the heau
ty of nature, which led them to fix their
residence in spot presenting such glo-
rious combination Of mountain and valley,
forest and stream; a spot where you hear on
all sides the sound Of falling waters aud
the nurmur of rivers; where the hillsides
and water courses clothe. themselves with
dense wood; where majestic mountains
stand in sight, capped with snow; while at
their foot, stretching away from the town,
lies one Of the fairest aud most fertile val
leys that the sun ever shonc upon?. Hsw-
ever mis- may be, The place was the fitting
seat Of great and splendid dominion.
IF in any respect the Alhanlbra did not
correspond with the idea had previously
formed of it, it was. the minuteness OF it's
ornamentation. I did not expect that the
figures into. which the surface Of its walls
is wrought, and which yet in most places,
preserve athe sharp outline of stereotype
plate would prove to be no larger than
some engravings in which they a.c repro.
sented Yet this very minuteness, must
admit harmonizes perfectly with the gen
eral character Of the architecture, which is
that Of the utmost lightness and delicacy
possible in building Of stone. " The archi-
lecture of the Alhambral is that of the ha-
rem; il is the architecture of a race who
elighted in voluptuous ease, who wrapped
themselves in soft apparel, aud lolled upon
divans. The Alhambra was the summer
palace of the Moorish :monarchs-a place
of1 luxurious retreat. from the relaxing
heats Of the scason-::a place of shade and
running waters, courting the entrance of
the winds under its arches and between
its slender pillars, yet spreading a screen
againstuhe sunshine To this end the
stones Of the quarry were shaped into a
bower, with columns as light as the stems
Of the orange trees planted in its courts
and walls incrusted with scroll work and
foliage as delicate as the leaves of the myr-
tie growing by its fountains. Yet, the
most remarkable parts Of the Alhambra are
those lofty rooms with circular vaults from
which hang innumerable little points like
icicles, with. rounded recssses between
them These are as strangely beautiful as
dream, and translate into visible reali-
ty the poetic idea Of a sparry cavern found
by genii In the chambers of the rock. 7

chant saw with pleasure his store steadily
deereasins;, and an equivalent in silver

nothing else I wish for this morning, but
Ishall remember your little stand in the

tinued, turning, to Ben Wilson's stand. =
Yes sir, fresh this morning I caught

Harry, what a fool you was to show the
gentleman the spot in the watermelon -
Now, you can take it home for your pains,
or throw it away. j Hows much wiser is he
about these clans ! caught yesterday? -
Sold them for the same price I did the
fresh ones. He would never have looked
atthe melon until he had gone away &c

And SO it proved, for the next day the
