Photographs of AIRY scheGer,s Works.

AIRY Scheffer's works are distinguished,
says the New York sEeening Post, by sharp
ness of outline, a simplicity ofdetail, and an
individuality ofcharacter, that render them
peculiarly fitted for. reproduction by en-
craving or photographing. A few years ago
the latter process was unknown. But the
results of the discovery of the art, and the
improvements recently, made in it,, have
never been more happily illustrated than in
the series of photographs taken by Bingham
from the original pictures ofScheffer's being
in fact reproduction, on a small scale, ofall
the works of this celebrated artist.
Among these Photographic representations
will be recognized many ofthe most popular
ofScheffer's pictures including his "Eber-
hard, "Faust and his Studio" Francesca
,di Rimini," "Christus Consolator," "Mignon
Regretting her Country" YMater Doloross,'
''Dante and Beatrice SFapst and Margaret
'iTemptation" Of Christ" Margaret at the
Fountain" as well as many not so,fmiiar
on this side of the ocean. Even if viewed
merely as a successful effort in a compara-
lively new. art this remarkable series of pho
tographs is well worthy Of examination. J. l.

NEW York, March 22.--The Tri6une's cor.
respondent says.
| Marin, who was captured with the steam
| ers, was formerly Commodore in the old
! Mexican Navy. Our Government is pos
sessed of information of all that passed be-
tween Miramon and him, and framed Mr..
McLane's instructions under that knowledge.
He had credit for $4,000 in one bill, which
was subsequently increased, to purchase
steamers and munitions, either in the United
States or Cuba, to cooperate with Miramon
when the attack from land was made against
Vera Cruz. He left Havana under the Span
ish flag, which was the original colors Of the
steamers, but hoisted the Mexican flag. His
movements were known and watched
throughout. .... .'. ......
The British Minister here was informed of
the intention of our Government to disre-
gard any blockade Miramon attempted at
Vera Cruz, and of the extent of Mr.. McLane's
instructions to that effect; and, it is UNDER
stood, acquiesced in the policy, on the
ground that Mexican privateers might be
fitted out to the serious injury of the COM
merce in the Gulf

If Juarez would place the H,did,ola and Ware

expedition, but he subsequently determined
on strictly neutral course, unless forced to

The two Spanish men-ofwar at Sacrifcos

An American Joan of Area Heroine of
Revolution.

A correspondent writing to the New York
Observer, tells the following strange but
truthful story of female soldier fthe Revo-
luton:
She was born in Plympton, Plymouth
County, Massachusetts,, December II, 1850,
and was descendent of Governor William
Bradford. Her educational advantages were
limited, yet she manifested a love for natural
philosophy, and when fifteen years of age,
four days before the battle of Lexington, had
fantastic dream about battle, in which
voice told her to go forth to encounter the
enemy, which dream undoubtedly had an in
fiuence on her subsequent life. In her nine
teenth year she became school teacher, and
continued in that employment for two years;
as she advanced in life she became vision
ary; when twenty-one years of age, by way
of frolic, she dressed herself in mans
clothes, and cut up some questionable capers;
and soon after that time, in 1881, was mus
tered into the military service at Worcester,
Mass, by the name of Robert Shurtlieff
From Worcester she went to West Point,
and there received the uniform of soldier in
the light infantry; she marched to White
Plains, and with her company engaged a
party of Dutch cavalry at Tarrytown; she
was at Yorktown, and performed arduous
duty during that siege; in skirmish with
for time in French hospital; she was one
of the detachment sent to subdue the Indians
on the Northern frontier; she marched with
fifteen hundred men to Philadelphia to sup
press mutiny among the American soldiers,
where she was taken sick and confined to a
hospital, and where she was discovered to be a
women. After her recovery, in the garb of a
gentleman. she performed a tour into the
mountainous region Of Virginia; and while
on hunt for buffaloes with the Indians, at
night, in an Indian camp, she shot through
the heart of an Indian whom she suspected OF
evil designs; and after returning to the East,
was honorably discharged in 1888 from the
army, and resumed her female attire. She
subsequently married, and while bearing the
name Of Deborah Gannett, was rewarded for
her services both by the State of Massachu-
sets and the General Government, and died
April 81, ls27-it having been believed that
her wounds were the immediate cause of her
death

An unfortunate woman, Nelly LinwoOd,
was so severely burnt in Memphis last week
by her clothes taking fire, that her life is
despaired of. The Avaldnche says: Her
mother an old lady, who recently arrived in
the city from Georgia, was sent for and vis-
tied her unfortunate and guilty child. Those
who witnessed the interview describe the
blasphemy and imprecations of the girl as
fearful to hear. She raved and cursed her
fate in an awfal manner, seeming to regret
more the loss Of her beauty than to fear the
fatal consequences which she was told would
ensue. Her great sufferings soon rendered
her delirious but her imprecations continued,
the sight of her mother seeming to increase
her fury. She is known by her companions
in crime as Nelly Linwood, and is said to
have been the most reckless and hardened OF
any. She was beautiful, having light hair,
blue eyes, and transparent complexion. p

A correspondent of the New York Herald
describes dancing party which he attended
at Salt Lake City. Tickets of invitation at
ten dollaTs each were issued to seventy-fve
gentlemen, only, permitting each to bring
one lady; another lady was allowed at two

tion. The writer describes the magnifcence

gentlemen to two ladies' at the party, when
the number of wives is unlimited; but, per-

their preserves, when they appear in general
society, makes this comparative privation

The Great Sayers and Heenan Brutality In
..I d. ENGLAND, Do N 'i'.r

A correspondent of Witkes's Spirit Of The
Times writes thus, on the I'd instant, from
| London: H ...". Hi In.. .INHl
! Mr.. Falkland and Heenan have not yet
seen, both being at present at a place near
Salisbury, where Heenan is taking his train
ing. ] am glad to be able to say,howeyer,
in this connection, that he takes to his work
much better than he did--indeed, than he
was able to do-in his first preparation for
the fistic circle He is certainly better at this
early period of his training than he was at
any time previous to his contest with Norris
sey, and far more fit to fight to-day than
when called upon for the encounter on the
memorable goth October. He is reported by
Jack Mcdonald, his most competent assist
ant, to be already no heavier than thirteen
stone (l82 bs.l SO the danger predicted by
"El Hakim may be said to have been al
ready passed. Mcdonald further declares
that he will produce him in the ring at twelve
stone seven (l75 ibs.l which will appear
somewhat incredible to those who have seen
Heenan stripped, or to those who have heard
him and his American trainers repeatedly
declare that he could not be brought down to
fight at less weight than 100 TBS.
of Sayers, also the most flattering ac-
counts are given, and he is reported on all
sides to be as well for the work he has before
him as he ever was for any contest in his life.
That he feels confident Of victory you may
infer from his department at his recent spar
ring exhibition; and that his confidence is
shared by his friends and hackers is also evil
dent from the fact that the odds are six to
four in his favor, and that even as high as
seven to four, in one large amount has
been offered. | should not be surprised to see
the current odds hold the latter shape for
some time, for popular feeling is so largely in
terested in the match as an international af-
fair, that Englshmen do not seem to care to
bet against their pride. On the day of the
fight, however, expect to see some wavering
of the odds, when the cognoscent come to see
the light and shade play in the satin-like
knots and holows of our young giants un-
stripped shoulders

A letter from Milan dated the 10th ult.,
says: '.i- '"
As soon as the entrance of Cavour in the
box at the Scala, the night before last was
remarked, a general cheering and waving of
handkerchiefs and hats followed. All other
mortals Immediately lost their attraction,
and the only idea in the heads of dominoes
Rerettes, and debdrdeurs seemed to be to ap-
proach the happy Prime Minister who had
sat down in front of the box The difficulty
was only how. -....
One mask; bolder than her companions,
began to ''agdcer" TIL great man from one of
the boxes just above the one in which he was
seated Having attracted his attention, and
finding encouragement on the part Of Ca
your, the mask descended, entered Oavour's s
box, and embraced him there, amid the fran
tic applause of the public. Scarcely had the
other female masks perceived the success of
their bold companion, when a regular hegira
took place, every one being anxious for the
same honor. 1t gave one almost a wish to be
Prime Minister for the time, for there was no
end to the hugging and kissing of the happy
little man.

Interesting Incidcnt-Victoria Receiving
the Announcement Of her Succession to
tho Throne. '-'''


William w expired about midnight at
Windsor Palace. The Archbishop or Cam
terbury, with other peers and high function
aries of the kingdom were in attendance.
AS soon as the "sceptre had departed with
the last breath of the King, the Archbishop
quilted Windsor Castle, and made his way
with all possible speed to Kensington Palace,
the residence at that time of the Princess
already by the law of succession, Queen
Victoria, He arrived long before daylight,
announced himself and requested an i'm
mediate interview with the Princess. She
hastily attired herself and met the venerable
prelate in her ante-room, He informed her
Of the demise of William and finally an
,nounced to her that she was, in law and
right, successor to the deceased monarch.
The sovereignty of the most powerful nation
lay at the feet of girl of eighteen. She
was, de jure, Queen of the only realm in fact
or history, on which the sun ever set. She
was deeply agitated at the formidable words,
so fraught with blessings or calamity The
first words she uttered were these: 81 ask
your prayers in my behalf" They kneeled
down together and Victoria inaugurated her
reign, like the young King of Israel in the
oden time, by asking from the Most High,
who ruleth in the kingdom of men, "an un-
derstanding heart to Judge so great people,
who could not be numbered nor counted for
multitude"

SanguInary Finances-SsO, 1000 to be Paid
for Butchering Indians.

A letter to the New York Courier from
San Francisco, says: ..... ...... 81,
Seen. Kibbe, ON behalf of himself and his
volunteers, has come before the Legislature
with bill of $4,000 for his heroic exploits
in killing Indians. The Legislature proposes
to pay it by issuing bonds for the amount,
which bonds are to be presented as claims
against the United States Treasury.
"Though not one white man has been
killed in the whole of the pretended battles
with the Indians, it is boasted by parties that
two thousand Indians have been killed within
ten months. 1t but adds to the horror of the
narrative to refer to the fact that the defence
less creatures are hunted like wolves in their
native woods, and are butchered like sheep in
a fold when they seek the mercy Of their
captors.
''As soon as these accounts are audited
here, they will be sent to Congress for pay
ment. Before voting upon these claims,
says the Curriers' correspondent, i hope
members will read the reports of Gen. Clarke,
Lieut.. Dillon, Capt. Flint, and Major john
son. If wholesale murder is to be paid for,
if bounty is to be set upon ferocity, treach-
cry, and brutality, which degrade white men
below the level of the fercest savages, let the
money be voted; but, otherwise, not dollar
should be bestowed" .....1 $780, '.ir ....

A WOman's Gossip About Senatorial
Dinner,

A lady correspondent of the New York
Tribune thus writes in a late letter:
A dinner which attended at Senator
Stewards may serve as an illustration of the
style on such occasions. AT six o'clock we
were set down at his residences found num-
ber of the guests already assembled-the
others arriving not long after. A formal
presentation to the gentleman who is to be
your escort to the dining-room takes place;
you have apleasant chit-chat in the drawing
room, during which time, according to Ell
quette, you remain standing; you are then
led into the dining-room; q waiter in white
gloves meets you at the door, designates your
seat, where you find your name attached to
the napkin placed by your plate. The host
then mentions the names of his guests, to see
if they are properly seated. ili
Turtle soups then served; the othereourses
in regular order, seventeen in number-the
plates being changed for each course; wine
glasses, five in number, of different size, form
and color indicating the different wines to
be served. The meats are carved by the hend
cook, in a separate apartment, and being
placed in silver dishes, are handed to you by
q waiter in white gloves always at your left
hand. .0la
Upon entering the dining-room you per-
ceive the table laid with perfect taste, con-
tanning the confectionery and conserves for
the grand finale; beautiful pyramids of iced
fruits, oranges, French kisses, etc., all beauti-
full to look at, but dangerous unless your di-
gestive organs are stronger than mine,
You are conducted back into the parlor in
the same manner that you entered, when
coffee is served and liquors of different kinds.
