Extraordinary Beauty of the Suburbs OF
Cincinnati.

Cincinnati.
A correspondent of the New York World
writes thus in recent letter from our city:
Let us go for a moment into the suburbs;
for, indeed, the suburbs are the chief glory
and pride of the Queen City of the West.
The surrounding scenery is rather idyllic,
than epic; there are few bold, effective con-
trasts. The hills droOp gently into valleys;
valleys rise with wavy undulations into hills,
draped from summit to base with the fam
ing tapestry of the autumn; cottages and
villas and stately mansions, hedge rows and
groves, and miniature lakes, and sloping
lawns; weird old willows, gashed by the
lightning and the storm, with falling, sill
very spray of leaves, rosaries of odorless
snow-drops, glimmering from the somber
green of leaves, like foam upon the crests of
the w -es: little, querulous brooks, muir
muring for the rain that shall make them
rivers, and enable them to command the
respect of neighboring waterfowl; tall
scowling elms, that rise against the sky de-
faDt, ragged, gnarledS and fling upon the
sloping sward shadows that look like crimes
scooped out ravines with glimmering vistas
of smoke and mist; andaway in the distance
long ranges of woodland, dark with ever
green, and vivid with red and gold, meet
and blend in panorama of singular lowell
ness. a..
No landscape more completely English in
in its aspect of thorough cultivation is to be
seen in America. A few moldering castles
with ivy clinging about them, few more
trim hedge-rows, perhaps just livelier, em.
erald glimmer upon the surrounding lawns
and the princely visitor might have fancie(
himself in one of the southern counties o
that little isle in the Northern Ocean, in thu
direction of which, doubt not he is mos
anxious to set his boyish face.

Smith and Joseph Warren, the former thir-
teen and the latter fifteen years of age, were
before Judge Lowe, yesterday morning, and
fined 50 and costs each. for drunkenness.
This vas doubtless in accordance with the
law of the city; but 1t would seem to us just
as rational to fine hunchback $l00 because
he was not straight, or one who had the SMALL
pox or cholera similar sum because he was
ILL. Fines and punishments have been pre-
scribed long enough as remedies for this dis
ease, and it is about time some other method
of treatment were adopted.

THs RECENT FoURTH-sTREET HoM1oIDE-
Discharge of the Alleged Murderer. Richard
KnRbe, who, a few days ago, returned from
Indiana, and gave himself into the custody
of the officers, admitting that he had been
engaged in the difficulty that led to the death
of George Guelich, was before Judge Lowe
yesterday morning charged with murder, in
the second degree. The testimony was sim
liar to that ELECTED before the coroner's jury,
with which our readers are already ac-
quainted.
Peter Flishpont, who was in company with
Guelich at the time of the homicide, testified
that G. struck Knabe two or three times in
the face when the latter drew knife and
stabbed him. The witness then threatened
to shoot when Knabe ran down Main-street.
Several persons testified to the ouarraI,
some disposition Of the deceased and the
peaceable and amiable character Of the de-
tendantr judge Lowe, in summing On the
evidence, stated that it was insufficient 10
make out case of murder in the second de-
gree, with which Knabe was charged. and
that the probabilities were that he supposed
he was acting in selfdefense. The prisoner
was therefore discharged and the case dis
missed.

To 6s Editors Of ths Daily Pres


My attention has Just been called to a par
agraph in the Commercial of Friday, in which
it is stated that "a prominent Doug glas Demo-
crat, living on Calhoun street, endeavored to
break up Republican meeting at Clifton, on
Thursday night" and | am also informed
that at least one German paper gives my
name as that person.
All desire to say is, that 1 was present
at that meeting, with at least thirty other
Democrats, and, being President of the
Douglas Club, induced the postponemeut of
a Democratic meeting called for the same
time and near the same spot, so that no col
lision might occur. We listened attentiyely
to all the Rev. Mr.. Gurley had to say, and
as he stepped off the stand, proposed three
cheers for him, which certainly can not be
construed to be offensive. have known
Mr.. Gurley for twenty-five or th rty years,
and respected him as a minister of the Cos
pei and however much may disapprove OF
his political course, have never offered him
the slightest disrespect. Those who make
the assertion above referred to, are either
grossly mistaken, or cowardly say that
which they know to be base falsehood.

THE PURE AND KsFHETIc CHARACTER OF
PoE's PoETRY.-A notable feature is the alb
sence of any thing sensual from Poes
poetry; the beautiful is as chaste as a statue;
it isnot Venus, mot even lissome Vivien," !"
but Psyche always Psyche from the regions
which are Holy Land. And this pure pas
sion for the beautiful, so much above earth
in its aspiration, which WAS inherent in him,
would but tend, being rudely crushed, to
increase his deera lation, and to aggrayate
probably few people have lived upon this
earth as miserable as was Edgar Poe.
1.-THE genius of Poe lies in his keen senti-
ment of the beautiful therein had he a
glimpse into the mystery Of the universe;
what Goethe calls the open secret the pos
session Of faculty of insight into which, on
one aspect or another, is necessary to con-
stitute man Of genius"

The Advantage Of Hunrer.

"Hunger," says Lewes, sis one of the
benefcient and terrible instincts. Il is, in
deed the very fire of life, underlying all i'm
nulses to labor, and moving man to noble
--iN"S demands. Look
Sttitlties by lis ImpeIio-.
where we may, ne see Il as the motive
power which sets the vast array Of human
machinery in action.
at is hunger which brings these stalWart
navvies together in orderly gangs to cut
paths through mountains, to throw bridges
across rivers, TO iniersect the land with the
great iron ways which bring city into daily
Communication with city. Hunger is the
Invisible oyerseer of the men who are erect
ing palaces, prison-hoeses, barracks and
villas. Hunger sits in 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 aud
inceysant activity. Let food be abundant
and cay Of access, and civilization becomes
impossible: so indissolubly dependent are our
higher Efforts on cur lower impulses.
Nothing but the necessity of food will
force man to that labor which he hates, and
will always avoid when he can. And al
though this seems obvious only whenapplied
To the laborlng classes, il is equally though
less obviously true when applied 10 other
classes, for the money we will labor to gain
is nothing but food, and the surplus Of food,
which viii buy other men's labor. 81

DEATH FROM THE BITE OF HoRsE.-A few
Gays ago, farmer named Joseph Weeks,
residing a short distance from the city, in
Colerain Township, while engaged in clean
ing one of his horses, was severely bitten on
the left shoulder, the animal taking large
piece of flesh entirely out, just over the joint
Of the arm. The shoulder Immediately
began to swell, the wound became extremely
painful; his neck and head grew large and
his physician, he died yesterday afternoon,
in the greatest agony. The patient gave
every evidence of having been poisoned by
the bite; but the remote cause of the alarm
ing symptoms have not, and probably never
will be, definitely ascertained.

REMARKABLE CURE OF DIPTHERIA-The
"ETess" as a Medical AdViseT.-A week or two
ago, we published simple and efficacious
remedy for diptheria, which we are glad to
learn has been tried with the most complete
success by q number of persons who had
been attacked with the disease. Our weekly
reports of the mortality of the city, shows a
greater number of deaths by this malady,
than any other, from which we are led to
believe that our physicians have not yet be-
come expert in treating it.
In any sickness, Notwithstanding the
general belief to the contrary, the simplest
remedies are the best the more drugs the
patient takes the more likely he is to die.
Nature cures, herself; medicines are only
valuable to assist her; and a5 there are very
few compounds she does not despise, IL would
be advisable to swallow Just as little poison
as possible, no matter in what shape it may
come, or by whom it may be given.
This is probably the secret of the success
OF our remedy for diptheria. 1t is extremely
simple and from what we have been able to
learn, seems almost specific for the disease.
lady residing in the Western part of the
city, was troubled with premonitory symp-
toms of this singular complaint; her throat
became sore and swollen with the formation
of a membrane that threatened TO strangle
her TO death, when she thought of the para
graph she had read in the Press and deter
mined to test its virtue.
She, therefore, treated herself in the man
ner recommended, and much TO her delight
and that of her family, was enabled in a few
days 10 assume her duties, and is now fully
satisfied that her life was saved through the
remedy we suggested. She acknowledged
the obligation, and advises all persons, so
great is her faith, who desire to die, not to
use the PRESS as medical adviser.
Disease ought not to be tolerated. Sick
ness, whether as a punishment for sin OF a
proof of the love Of the Deity, is a great bore,
and should be avoided; and dipth5ria, b,ing
one OF the most annoying complaints with
at present, deserves to be DESTROYED at once.
To do this effectually we readvise any one
who may COME in contact with it to treat it
according to the method suggested in this
paper.

CHILD INSTANTLY KnLEp BY A FALL.-A
child, about five years of age, daughter of a
dence-street, near Liberty, yesterday after
noon, while playing on shed in the rear OF
the dwelling of her parents, accidentally fell
and injured herself so badly that she died
within few hours. Her skull was fearfully
fractured by striking a large stone, and
several of her ribs were broken, one of which
punctured her lungs, and undoubtedly
caused her death. Her mother was on the
roof which was about twenty feet from the
ground, at the time of the accident, engaged,
we believe, in hanging up some clothes she
had just washed, and was so startled by the
occurrence that she is now lying quite i'll
from the effects of the fright.
