Prof. Fowler. the we'll known phrc-
nologist, stated in a recent lecture at
Manchester, England, that fifteen
years ago a man came to his office to
ascertain, from a chronological ex-
animation. what business he was best
qualified for. He was a soap maker
at that time, but the Prof. told him
that of all professions a military ca
G e was most suited to him, and adj
vised him if he ever had an opportuni-
ty, to get command Of an army in the
cause of right, for there his talents
would show themselves to the great
est advantage. He had done so, and
G~aribaldi, that man, was now telling
a tale on the destiny of Europe.

on last Sunday evening, in the town

Fire and Loss of Life i'm BafraIo,

The Clarendon Hotel, at Buffalo, New York,
was destroyed by fire last Friday night The
Advertiser, after describing the fire, says:
The most terrible feature of the nights disasters
however, is the loss of human Ife-tHo well-known
citizens being among the last. Mr.. q. H Cham
herain, Of the firm of Roe & Chamberlain oyster
dealers on Washington street, who boarded at tile
Glaredon, and whose room was in the fifth story
was awakened too late to make his escape by the
stairs, and in his terror as it is supposed leaned
from his window on the main street side, to the
pavement below, by which he was 90 horribly
crushed and mangled that, having been removed
to Mathews drug store, he died. after lingering in
unspeakable agony for half an hour. 1t Is proba-
BILE that he lost his presence of mind in conse-
quence Of excitement and terror; as he was spoken
to by those below, and told to wait few moments
and ladder would be raised, by which he might
safely reach the ground.
William A. Garland Of the we'll known firm OF
Garland Beirne, of !" Gothic Hall :, also lost his
life. There were innumerable rutnors afioat this
forenoon in relation to this gentleman He was
visited in his room at the Clarendon last night
about IL o'clock, by Mfr. @. Fl. Cowan, since which
time he has not been seen. We ourselves aided in
tracing out several rumors to the effect that Mr.. @.
had been seen by several persons after the fire.
but in every instance they proved to be without
| foundation. Many of his friends have also been
| engaged in like manner during the morning and,
we are grieved to say, in all cases with the same
| result. The conclusion is inevitable therefore,
| that Mr.. Garland persisted in the flames. Mr.. Car
land was man who, as represented by those init
| nately G luainted with him, slept very soandiy
and was always awakened with difficulty.
Two women employed in the hotel, Bridget Null
| cahey, cook, and Ann McAulay, chamhermaid, are
also set down among the lost, as their friends,
after diligent search and inquiry, having been nm
| able to discover any traces of them.
A woman named Alice White also one OF the
employees was rescued by Mr. Robert Gardner
Assistant Foreman of Eagle Hose Company No g.
in manner which should entitle that gentleman
to the warmest gratitude of every friend Of human-
itY. She was at the window of the rear norton NJ
the building on Washington street, aud Mr. g.
mounted ladder which had been raised and sur
rounded by smoke and flame, seized the woman in
his arms, and bore her part way down the ladder,
where he delivered her into the hands of Fire
Marshal Love. and Immediately returned into the
building in search of another said to be still in the
hotel. We understand, however, that no other
person was discovered by him.

LATER FROM New MExIoo- Death Of Capt. Nc
Lane IsDEPENDENoE, Mo. Nov. l3.-The New
Mexican mail, in charge of conductor Tucker, with
dates to the 2sth ult., arrived to-day. Capt, Geo.
MsLane; Of the Mounted Rifles, was killed by the
Navajoe Indians on the 18th Of October. He was
out on scout with his company, when about
twenty-five miles from Fort Defiance aparty of In
dams were overtaken, and charge made upon
them. Capt. MeLane killed four Indians with his
pistol. When the charge was made and the word
to rally given, the Captain became separated from
his men and was seen to fall from his horse his foot
became entangled in his strip, his horse being
frightened and running off, dragging him consid-
cradle distance before he was stopped. When his
man came up he was dead. He had three shots in
him, which must have produced instant death. SO
persisted of our noblest officers at the hands OF
the red skins. Capt. MeLane was the son of Sena.
tor McLane, of Delaware. He leaves a widow and
three children, who are at Albuquerque. After
the death of Capt. McLane the Indians made their
escape.
Business was very dull. Considerable snow and
cold weather was experienced beyond the crossing
of the Arkansas, and from thence in pleasant
weather.
There is no news from the plains of any interest.

WASHINGTON IRVING NEARLY KILLED BY AN
INDIAN FOR MAKING LOVE TO HIS squAw.-The
following is an extract from recollections of
Washington Irving in the Home Journals:
/ was very nearly killed by an Indian, onee,ii
said Irving, one evening. j" When was q young
man, was travelling in Canada, with friend
There were more Indians there then than there
are white men now. One raw, chilly day, we were
rowing in canoe on the St. Lawrence, with an
Indian for guide. As we neared the spot where
wan to get something to eat Securing the canoe
to the shore, we followed him short distance to
his hut, where we found his squaw busily cooking
venison. Our guide motioned us to q seat by the
lire, and then proceeded to drink large quantity
of whisky. My friend watched him closely, but ]
talked to his wife, who at first gave me short an
swers, glaneng at her lord and master, to see il
he listened, which he seemed not to do; then she
talked more freely. The squaw was very ugly,
having the overburdened look that you see among
Indian women; so, from half pity, as she took the
large haunch from the fire, rose to assist her, At
the same moment her jealous husband raised
large club, striking the head blow that
made me fall insensibe at his feet. As he was
arms, and, rushing from the wigwam, deposited
| me in the canoe, and was taking me rapidly down
| the stream before our half-drunken pursner
reached the Shore. soon recovered my senses.
but never was polite to squaw again.
Many years ago Irving wrote book similar to
his Sketch Book, suggested by sojourn in the
Southern States. The trunk containing the man.
uscrpt,h he said, " was stolen on my way home -
and we, therefore, mourn loss none can ever snip
ply,

WHAT THE NORTHERN LEGISLATURES MAY Do
The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun writes:
The aspect of public affairs, bad as it is, is made
worse by the irritating tone assumed by the Re-
publican organs since the election. Deep disgust
is felt by the conservative majority of New York
at the course of the Lincoln since they achieved
their victory. This is said to be the cause of the
increasing financial pressure in New York.
1t has been proposed in New York that the Union
Committee of fifteen, or great convention ASSEM-
bly, of citizens should make appeal to the South
ern States in favor of moderation and forhearanee
in the present crisis. Some say that this will do
good, but that it is necessary, in order to APP
pease the South, that the States which have by
legislation nnllifed the Fugitive Slave law, should
at once repeal their obnoxious statutes. This
might do some good.
The Northern State Legislatures will soon be in
session, and if they wish even to delay rupture
of the Government, they viii take such measures
will reassure the Southern States. Perhaps they
will take this course, which would be advisable,
even in view of the success of the Administration
of MIR. Lincoln, who has himself promised, it is
said, to enforce the Fugitive Slave law in every
non-slaye-holdng State.

A VESSEL A THOUSAND FEET LoNG.--An official
report has been published in England of river
steam vessel belonging to the Oriental Inland
Steam Company, and intended to navigate the
shallow rivers of the East which possesses peculiar
scientific interest from the fact of this composite
vessel being the longest ever yet constructed, being
nearly half as long again as the Great Eastern. II
appears that on trial this great vessel or train,
was found to be easily manageable, and attained a
satisfactory rate of speed and its success solves
the important problem how to carry very large
cargo on very small draft of water against rapid
stream. The train consists OF steamer and five
barges of the collective length of nine hundred feet
But these barges, instead Of being towed asunder
like common barges, are Joined to one another by
circular joints like hinge, so that they constitute
one long flexible vessel with only one bow and one
stern. The purpose of this arrangement is to OBJ
tain the necessary displacement with small resist
ance, and without the risk Of damage should the
vessel get aground and all these conditions are eff
fectually fulfilled by the arrangements adopted.
The train is thirty feet broad and seven feet deep.
at draft of water of three feet it will carry
about 3d. 900 tons Of cargo. Such vessel is greatly
needed at the present moment to carry up railway
materials in India, and to bring down cotton, fax,
and other articles of agricultural produce.

DUCK WAR. The last Legislature having
passed law forbdding the shooting Of wild ducks
from sink boats, sneak boats. ETC., and several
parties being detected in the act of violating the
law on the fats of the Susquehanna river, an ex-
petition was fitted out at Elkton on Monday last
under Sheriff Oldham who succeeded in capturing
party of four the flats, below Havre de Grace.
Their property was also seized. They made no re-
sistance, but others made a show of fight. The
capturing party consisted of thirty men well armed.
The Elkton Democrat thinks the law will be resist
ed, and adds
1.-THE Havre de Grace duckers are able to raise
flotilla of brave, hardy and adventurous men, and
it will be no light task to prevent them from shoot
ing ducks, or to capture them when caught in the
act. 1t is said they are very much excited in re-
ference to the duck law, and are resolved to shoot
ducks as usual, at all hazards. The parties inter
ested in enforcing this law will find it no chds
play. They need not undertake another expedi-
ton of the kind with less than hundred men and
several field pieces, as well as the requisite small
arms, and several fast sailing small boats of light
draught to run over the flats. The duckers will
fight before they will yield, and they are already
prepared with boats, cannon, and heavy foWling
pieces, and can raise a hundred and fifty OF two
hundred men at an hours notice.

According to the ancient legend, the Emperor
Augustus Cesar repaired to the sibyl Fburtina, ID
inquire whether he should consent TO allow himself
to be worshipped with divine honors, which The
Senate had decreed to him. The sihyl, after some
days of meditation. took the Emperor apart and
showed him the altar; and above the altar in the
opening heavens, and In glory of light, he behald
a beautiful virgin holding an infant id her arms,
and at the same time voice was heard saying
This is the altar Of the Son Of the living God >,
wherenpon Augustus caused an altar to be erected
prinaogeniti Del and on the same spot, in later
times, was built the church called the Ard- 0ssli
well known, with its flight of one hundred and
twenty.fopr marble steps, to all who have visited
Rome.
