PALERMo, June %, ls60
Here we are, all safe, although hear the
papers have said the contrary. We left
Genoa with three steamers, one Of which ran
on to Leghorh to embark laborers for the
Isthmus Of Suez, and after good passage,
got into Cagliari. Not 80 the American clip
per with battalion on board that sailed
twenty-four hours before us. The Neapoli-
tans fen in with her of Cape Corso, and cap
tured her. She is now, with all her cargo,
both live and dead, at Naples. Yesterday
the American man-of-war on the station
sailed for that port to demand her perempto-
rily. She was taken on the high seas, not in
Neapolitan waters--therefore her capture is
an act of piracy by the law Of nations. Not
withstanding that loss, we landed twenty
five hundred men, and large supplies OF En-
field rifles and ammunition.
Palermo is in a frightful state from the
bOmbardment. Accounts vary as TO the num-
ber of shells thrown into the city; but the
best report 1 can get gives them at about
quite blocked up with ruins Near the pal
ace, nearly an entire street is burned. In
other parts, ruins meet you at every step.
At present, the people are hard at work re-
moving the barricades and leveling the Cas-
tello-a-mare, from which the shells were
| thrown.
All the works toward the city are to be
razed to the ground. The people are wild
with Joy at their deliverance. A friend OF

The Lost Arts-FaIse Impressions Corr
rected.


The Scientific American says A great deal
of nonsense has been uttered by sensation
lecturers and magazine writers about Won
derful arts which perished with the ancients.
To trust in the lamentations Of these wise
acres over the "lost arts" one would think
we had fallen upon very degenerate times
indeed. But none of the doleful stories are
true. Cleopatra, no doubt, was very fine
woman; but she never dissolved pearls in
wine. Archimedes was great man in his
day, but he never set fire to the Roman ships
with burning glasses as the fable relates.
The ancieflts had no useful arts which we
do not understand better and practice more
skillfully than they did. The humblest
American mechanic could teach the polished
Greek and the cunning Egyptian sciences
and arts of which they never dreamed. The
ancients, indeedrdid many wonderful things
which have not been since repeated; but they
were only such things as are not worth doing
over again. If we had occasion to build such
foolish thing as pyramid, we would i'm
prove on our model in every respect; and
at the work for twenty years, we would turn
it out finished in a few months. George Law
and q hundred others would be willing to
take the contract at days notice.
If any people, nowadays, lived in con-
dition like the ancients, they would be objects
for sincere pity, and it would be our duty
speedily to send missionaries among them.
What a lamentable sight would be a nation
of great menial vigor, half-clothed and poorly
fed, tilling the earth with wooden pIowsi
without soap, pins, friction matches or India
rubberl How queenly would one of our
factory girls appear to them How magical
the art of Yankee clockmaker Beggars
now-a-days, with regard to the substantial
comforts of life, fare better than ancient
Kings. tu,
Our modern civilization is surely just
what is suited for the welfare of humanity
The steam engine, politics, electricity, NOR
ality, and every good thing move on together
harmoniously. We look back into the past
to note, as warnings, the paths of error
which our predecessors trod and we push OF
cheerfully and confidently, feeling that the
present and the future are of the utmost im
portance to us.

An Unpublished Letter of the Poet Shelley.
The following letter of the poet Shelley
has never before been published
BATH, September ,, 1873.
Ny DEAR SIR: live over again the days
of my infancy and youth What you say
goes to my heart, and the epithet which you
have chosen to express your sensations ac-
cords so exactly with my own, that no other
could convey, in one word, the poetry, the
romance and truth which the Alhambra of
my imagination at once inspires. 1t will
afford me great pleasure to comply with your
wish but remember, among works none are
so hard to translate as poems for most diff
ferent in various languages is the genius of
versifcation; most difficult too, the order OF
poetic inspiration.
In lyrical poems there is wildness, and a
rapturous frequency of transition SO power
fully calculated to develop the innermost pc
culiarities of the people whose feelings are
poured through this medium, that the COM
mon phrases fail and the full nationality OF
the idiom prevails. For this reason, to trans
late an ode of the South into the tongues of
the North is like transpanting the pome-
granate and palm tree Of Syria to the orchards
of Middlesex.
"Mary's little head is full of human schemes
and purposes, but | fear they are bubbles
glittering in the sunshine, to break when
they have had their hour. ..
