ART-PoETRY-Perhaps the most difficult
achievement of POETRY is properly to illustrate
Art-by description. Byron, of all the great
poets, has been most successful in this. His
illusions to Art, in the last Canto of g Childe
Harold" attest this. He has succeeded best
in the stanzas written with reference to such
chefs deuvre of Art as the Apollo Belvidere,
Venus de Medicis, Dying Gladiator, and La
cocoon.
In the last Annual Exhibition of our Aca-
DENY OF Fine Arts We're several beautiful
paintings by James Hamilton, one of the
most gifted and original artists in America,
who has hitherto been our Stanfeld, but in
one work, entitled " The Sceptre of Egypt
shall depart away" has also shown that, fit
pleased him, he might reasonably aspire to
be our Turner also. This picture is the prop
erty of H. c. Gibson, Esq, and we are happy
that-next to owning it ourself-it is in pos
session of one who so thoroughly appreciates
it. The following stanzas, by Mr.. John L.
Stockton, suggested by this composition
which is poem drawn by the pencil-appear
so worthy of the subject that we gladly assist
in giving them publicity. Their great merit
is that they convey so much thought in so
few words.-Forneys Press.
LINES,
Suggested by James Hamiltons painting, entitled "The
Sceptre of Egypt shall Depart Away"
Through the strange solitude, day following day;
Drags the slow Nile her immemorial waves
Dim glittering affair." the waters play
Through the waste beauty of this land of graves.
She to the ocean tells the solemn story
of ruined grandeurs mirrored in her stream;
OF fame long sepulchred in night; of glory
Old Egypt wraps around her as a dream
Crouched in the sands the Theban Sphinx, its grave
Sees In the crawling desert; and alone,
Over the mysteries he could not save,
Stares the stone idol from his steadfast throne.
Yet eve by eve, before the darkness shrouds
The sombre waste, some spiritual hand,
Of light, and air, and shapes of shadowy clouds,
Rebuilds the ancient glory of the land
Far, far above the desert stretching wde
Hangs the fierce sunset in fantastic forms,
burning splendor that may not abide,
OF skies convulsed and shuddering in storms -
Temples in apparation, of learning bright;
Visions of conf1agration flaming higher
Low sunken in a mist of dizzy light,
The red sun circling with its zones of fire.

Cleaning the City.

An ordinance, essential to the comfort and
health of the city, is now before the Council;
but several meetings have passed without
action upon 1t, and the interest in the coming
election which usually affects business in City
Councils, and indisposes them to take up mat
tcrs requiring deliberation, may postpone this
measure till the new Council is organized.
It provides for letting by contract the
sweeping of the streets, and the removal Of
all garbage, ashes and rubbish of every kind
from all private premises, every day, in water
tight carts. II prohibits the discharge ofany
refuse stuff, solid or liquid, into the street,
and requires it to be kept in casks convenient
for the contractor. I
We have already ordinances prohibiting
the deposit of any rubbish or filth in the
streets, but having no means to relieve pri-
vate premises from these accumulations, it
was impossible to prevent them from being
thrown in the street. and even where there
is not this excuse it is almost impossible to
watch these violations closely enough to pre-
vent them or enforce the penalty.
But by removing the excuse for these viola
tions, most of them will probably be stopped;
and by connecting this removal of garbage
with the sweeping of the streets, the interests
of the men who make these daily rounds with
their carts will be enlisted to watch any vio-
lations which will add directly to their labor
in cleaning the streets. The daily removal
of the refuse stuff from the private premises
is absolutely indispensable to any efficient
system of cleaning the city, and its connec-
tion with the street sweeping is just as indis-
pensable to secure that watchfulness which is
required to prevent the almost universal
practice Of depositing and dscharging all
filth into the street, and which it is practi-
cally impossible for the police to prevent.
In the Eastern cities the sale of the gath
erings of the city for manure, has done some
thing toward lessening the cost of relieving
the cities from il, as well as increased the
fertility of the surrounding soil. 1t is the
custom TO remove this offal early in the
morning, to avoid the offensiveness of haul
ing it through the streets after the people
and the sun are up. The ordinance was pre-
pared by CouncilmanS. S. Davis. The measure
is of great Importance to the city. As warm
weather will be upon us by the time it can
be put in operation, II merits the prompt at
tention of the City Council. r

The septimeut. or the Country


Patriotic letters, declaring the sentiments
of the country on the Presidential nomina-
ton, are now heavy feature in some of the
Republican journals. We have seen some
thing of this literature. When a CORE
spondent signs himself Ohio, or 'Old Frank
lin" or " Voz Popui" or "The Northwest" ,"
and tells how enthusiastic the people are for
Bates, or Lincoln, or somebody, it will usually
be found that the correspondent could not
carry his own ward or township for any of
the men who have excited such enthusiasm;
and as a general thing it will turn out that
he sent his communication abroad because he
could not get it into any paper at home
without having it contradicted. If politicians
wish to have an honest representation of pub
lie opinion, they will naturally get the people
to express it in their own districts. That
would be effective. 1t is almost invariably
with the wish to represent abroad something
as public opinion which does not exist at
home, that they write these enthusiastic ex-
pressions to distant journals. Tothe journals
the publication is a mere question of taste
and we have no disposition to have them
curtail the quantity ofthis lively literature.

The Press and the People.

We feel that we have reason to congrat-
ulate ourselves upon the progress the Press
is making with the people. Our object is to
make apaper not for one or another class,
but for the whole-a paper for the family
and the workshops, as well as for the office
and the counting-room-and we have reason,
in rapidly-increasing circulation, to believe
that it is appreciated. The laboring masses
of the city have taken hold of our enterprise
as if they had faith in it and we have had
our own confidence daily strengthened in its
ultimate prosperity. Still we want to send
the PREss into every house in the city, to
every shop and manufactory and freside,
and in this our friends can help US if they
will. Let them try it as occasion shall
offer, and see if we won't be obliged to
them.

Attempted Re-BxpuIslOn of Anti-slavery
Citizens from Madison County, Ky-Two
of the Committee Killed and Others
Wounded.
Yesterdays Louisville Democrat contains
special telegram from Lexington, KY,
which differs so materially from our tele-
graphic information, that we reproduce the
dispatch:
Last night we received intelligence from
Madison County that some of the Aboli-
tionists, who were driven from that county
some time ago had returned and armed
themselves to resist any attempt to compel
them to leave. A committee Of the citizens
went out to order them away, when they
were met and fred on by some twenty-five
or thirty Abolitionists. Two of the conf
mittee were killed and others wounded.
There were at least that number of the
Abolitionists, but how many more is not
known. They have retreated to a house
which they have fortified, hoisted fag and
defy their opponents to dislodge them.
The people of Madison have sent to this
place for the cannon and for aid. As soon as
the cars from Frankfort come in which will
bring balls, the squad will start. The Lex
ington Rifles, l understand, are going over in
full dress. An intense excitement pervades
our community.
The Democrat observes: "The first informa-
ton received here, was contained in a dis
patch from Governor Magoffin for twenty
packages of caps suitable for mimic rifles, as
the military of Lexington had been ordered
out to meet the emergency"

A Versatile Female Cenius-The Self-styled
wife Of Tleenan Another Lola MOntez.
OF Adah fsaacs Menken, who Is well-known
hare. where she has many warm and gallant
admirers, the New York Tribune gives this
description; ~
This lady, who has been of late the subject
Of more newspaper Speculation than com
monty falls to Che lot OF unprotected women,
has boon playing an engagement this week
at the Bowery Theater, whore her appearance
has created an unusual and not unflattering
sensation. Though at present captivating
the nation as an actress, that is but one OF
the many vocations Mrs. Heenan has followed.
Her life has been one of exciting adventure,
IL we may believe n biography Of her now in
course of publication in city paper. She
has been at various times danseuse q hum
ter, singer, an sditress, an actress; but IL she
possesses one talent more promptly devel-
oped than the rest, il is, perhaps, capability
for captivation, marriage and divorce. Start
ing in life with the maiden cognomen OF
Campbell, she has since acquired, by, vari-
Gus marriages, the names Of Nc A.,
Knears, Menken and Heenan. She speaks
French, Spanish and English; can ride,
hunt, shoot dance, sing and act has been
taken prisoner by Indians; has learned the
art of war from General Harney, while the
Benicia Boy has put her up to the manly
art of self-defense, and the tactics Of the ring,
previous TO which instruction she used TO
settle her little affairs in an off-hand, amiable
way, with the genuine horse-whip, as we
learn from the geographic sketch. aforemen-
toned. .--..-. ..a .g.
She was once elected to the honorable title
of Captain" in some Western military COM
pany, and has generally been advertised as
Captain Adah 1saacs Menken," Since her
alliance with the juvenile of Benicia, the
military prefix has been discarded. Mrs.
Heenan is also poetess and her effusions
have appeared in these columns-the mating
of a poetess to prize fighter is something
perhaps little out Of the common ORDER and
must we suppose, be put into the intermin-
able list Of the "Eccentricities of Genius"
All the above may be true, for Adah is a
rather pretty, very romantic, quite affection
ate and decidedly clever woman but she can
not play on the stage, and never will be able
to shine as q votary of Thespis.
