MONUMENT TO ROBERT FULroN-We learn that
the citizens of New Orleans have determined to
honor the memory of Fulton bv erecting a stupen-
dous monument, hundred and fifty feet in
height, and ten feet in diameter, with stairway on
streets, facing the custom-house, and in the great
thoroughtare and heart of the vast commercial en-
porium, fronting the Mississippi, the father of all
waters, which will be an honorable token and tri-

1t is related of Liszt the pianist that he one dav
received a visit from Boston gentleman who spoke
with contempt of Wagner and his music. Liszt
said nothing at once but went to tie open piano
and struck with grandeur the opening chords of
the Tanhauser overture; having PLAYED it through,
he turned and quietly remarked, ''The man who
doesn't call that good music is fool" And then
the gentleman from Boston wished he had held his
. peace.
Some days ago man named Horton was killed
by his own son in Clay county, Indiana, in a quar-
rel about pistol which the father desired to take
from his son, to prevent his killing somebody with
1t. The parrlcide was lodged in Jail; and in the
same Jail were three of his brothers-one of them
confined for theft and the other two for obstructing
legal process. -Four brothers in Jail at the same
time for different offences is spectacle not often
witnessed.
The immense demand in England for American
, sewing machines is exciting wonders. 1t is est-
mated that not less than 20 600 American machines

that American manufacturers will be prepared to
, supply 100000 sewing machines during the year
1861.
