A Dance for Life.

Espinosa, the little ballot dancer with the
big nose, who was attached to the Rayel
company some years ago, and made quite
hit in Esmeralda " at Niblos, and who
had in reality an unusual degree of dra-
matte and saltatory talent, is said to have ex-
perienced a singular adventure, since be was
last seen here. On one of those tours
taken by theatrical people in search of the
golden fleece, in which they sometimes
make the most of marvellous perambua-
tions and undergo the most moving Incl.
dents by flood and field, Espinosa found
himself in the Rocky Mountains not in.
tending to set up ballet where Fremont
raised the American flag, but with view
to eventually reaching California and dis
covering placer. However, be was des-
tined to perform before very different au.
dence from those which had applauded his
pirouettes in the paraquette at Niblo's
Garden. He was captured by tribe of
Indians, and doomed to torture. While
his masters were gamboling around him in
their uncouth style, it suddenly occurred to
the young Spaniard that his own remarka.
BILE friskings might amuse them or else be
was shocked at the bad style in which they
performed, and became anxious to instruct
them in the movements with which he was
familiar. At any rate he induced them to
loosen bis bonds, and began to dance. His
prance was so outlandish and extravaganza,
his gestures SO novel and unprecedented, his
twistings and turnings, his jumpngs and
vaultings so entirely surprised the unac-
customed audience that they stared in stu
pld amazement. 1t must have been a
strange scene. The naked dusky Indians
grouped around this little Spaniard, ready
so soon as he tired or they tired of him, to
put an end to his life as we'll as to his dan.
cling, and be capered away madly for their
amusement. This was indeed "the dance
of DEATH" But he intended it should be
" the dance of life" He so fascinated the
savages that they became intent on nothing
else; and finally when they gathered around
him in a complete circle he introduced
dance, that many New Workers must have
laughed at and wondered at when they saw
it on the stage be began running right
and left, backwards and forward, hitting
here one, and there another, dispensing his
audience, touching one with his arm, am
other with his foot, comparatively absorb
ing and delightiug them and while their
surprise and pleasure were at the height,
suddenly leaped into vacant saddle on one
of the feetest horses in the band. The In
dams thought this too one Of the pranks of
his performance, and did not discover their
error till Espinosa had shot SO far out of
their reach, that no effort suficed to recap
ture him. He arrived safely at the COM
pany from which he had originally strayed,
more fatigued than after any of the dances
in the opera. His audience shouted and
screamed, but not with admiration, at tie
last and he could boast of having created
more genuine sensation even than ElIsler
or Cerito, or any of les deesses de la danse.

The French Government and Ameri.
e can Affairs.

| Mr.. Gaillardet, the Paris correspondent
of the Courier DIES Eats Unis, and who also,
by his articles in the Paris Presse, contrib.
utes very materially to the formation of
public opinion in France relative to Ameri-
can affairs, writes as follows to the Courier:
"France saw with sincere. and unanimous
regret, discord appear in the bosom of
confederation which is in part its own work,
and whose power is necessary to its inter-
ests. The wishes of France were favorable
to reconciliation, and to the maintenance
of the Union. The Emperor Napoleon
openly expressed this wish to Mr. Faulkner,
and has abstained from saying or doing
anything which could encourage the separa.
ton of the South, despite the advantages
which such separation promised to the
commerce OF Europe in general, and to
that OF France in particular. But to-day,
the division of the Union is accom-
plished; and at the moment when
the confederate States of the South apply
themselves to charging the freedom OF their
ports to foreign industry the North restricts
the entrance to its harbors. While those
lower their tariff, these raise theirs. 1t is
the slave States who show themselves pro-.
gressive, and free States show themselves
retrograde. The American people, which
is SO practical, may understand that Eu.
rope should be a little like itself, and go
whittier its interests call. The Southern
Confederacy by prohibiting the slave trade,
has iorestalled the moral opposition of Eu-
rope. There will be 10 America only Eve
more free ports for US. This is what the
Republicans Of the North should not for.
get, if it is not already too late. The Mon
iteu says, the new tariff should be one of
the first sacrifices made to their reconcilia-
ton With the South; otherwise Europe
will end by seeing only fortunate event
in separation which she at first deplored
and it will become not only right but a
duty for us to recognise the independence
of the new confederacy.

Spirit that breathes through my lattice !! thou

Gratefully flows thy freshness round my brow;
Thou hast been out upon the deep at play;
Riding all day the wild blue waves till now,
Roughening their crest, and scattering high
their spray, a1I -
And swelling the white sail. welcome thee
To the scorched land, thou wanderer of the sea!
Nor 1 alone-a thousand bosoms round
Inhale thee in the fullness of delight;
And languid forms rise up, and pulses bound
Livelier, at coming of the wind at night;
And languishing to hear thy welcome sound
Lies the vast inland, stretched beyond the
Go forth into the gathering shade; 90 forth
Gods blessing breathed upon the fainting earth!
Go, rock the little wood bird in his nest;
Curl the still waters bright with stars; and
rouse t.s.--
The wide old wood from his majestic rest,
Summoning, from the nnumerable boughs,
The strange deep harmoniessthat haunt his
breast,
Pleasant shall be thy way where meekly
And where the overshadowing branches sweep
the grass.
Stoop DER the place of graves, and softly sway
The shining heritage by the cleaning stone;
That they who near the churchyard willows
stray,
And listen to the deepening gloom, alone,
May think of gentle souls that passed away,
Like thy pure breath, into the vast unknown,
Sent forth from heaven among the sons OF men,
And gone into the boundless heaven again.
The faint old man shall lean his silver head
To feel thee thou shalt kiss the child asleep,
And dry the mostened curls that overspread
His temples, while his pre- athing grows more
deep;
And they who stand about the sick mans bed
Shall Joy to listen to thy distant sweep,
And softly part the curtains to allow
Thy visit, grateful to his burning brow.
Go-but the circle of eternal change,
Which is the life of Nature, shall restore,
With sounds and scents from all thy mighty
change,
Thee to thy birthplace of the deep once more.
Sweet odours in the sea air, sweet and strange.
Shall tell the home-sick mariner of the shore;
And, listening to thy murmur, he shall deem
He hears the rustling leaf and running stream.

"YOur Choice for one DOllar''.-SOme-
thing More About the Cheap jew
elry Epidemic.

The cheap jewelry epidemic seems to be
spreading. In New York alone, there are
said to be fifty shops where are displayed a
variety of goods called by courtesy and the
shopkeepers "jewelry," and sensation pla-
cards inviting the passer-by to call and take
his choice for one dollar. So great is the
competition in this business-which must
be profitable or it would not be so indus
triously followed-that some establishments
offer your choice for fifty and even twenty
five cents. In an article on this subject,
the New York Evening Post says:
The articles offered for sale in these shops
comprise everything in the jewelry line
rings, pins, studs, brooches, bracelets, clam
shell canoes, and other cameo cut stones,
apparently made of petri6ed putty. Cali
fornia diamonds, and limitations of the va.
rious precious stones set in substance more
nearly resembling gold than any of the nu-
merous limitations heretofore offered as SUBJ
stitutes for the genuine article. Not only
is the imitation complete, but in many cases
the jewelry is in excellent taste, entirely de-
void of the gaudy appearance attaching to
articles of this sort, and is we'll calculated
to deceive even the best judges.
The new and really beautiful material so
closely resembling gold is recent French
discovery known to the trade as oriede. The
competent parts are: pure copper, 100
parts; zinc Tor tiny, II parts; magnesia, 6
parts; sal ammoniac, 3.6 parts; quick-lime,
I op1 for for nf q
Such, at least, is a published recipe for
making or'ede. The copper is first melted,
the other materials are added little by little,
the zinc is added last in small grains thrown
on the surface of the mixture, and stirred 10
till thoroughly fused. The substance pro-
duced not only looks like gold, but is very
similar in fneness of grain and density;
it is malleable aud ductile; can be drawn,
cast, rolled, and even beaten into leaves, and
is susceptible of all the manipulations to
which gold is subjected by artisans in that
ore.
Every one remembers the story of the
person who showed to Demidoff lapsis
lazuli breast-pin, expecting to astonish him
with its beauty and rarity. All, yes"
says Demidoff, +" have mantelpiece of it
in my house." The newly discovered oriede,
which at present is used extensively in
jewelry, pen and pencil cases and watch
cases, can be produced with such compare
tive cheapness that there is no reason why
it should not come into general use for
articles of utility as we'll as ornament. For
carriage and harness trimmings, sword hits
and scabbards, and even for gas fixtures
and a number ofarticles now made of plated
metals, the oriede will doubtless, ere long, be
used, particularly as it costs but little if
any more than bronze, and has this ad-
vantage over electroplated goods, that it
will wear and retain its resemblance to
gold as long as it may be in use.

The emancipation of these peasants i'm
mediately deprives the aristocracy, except
in few cases, of their source of income,
and destroys their power and consequence
as q body. A few of the mobiles who own
provinces, and whose factories and mines
will pay under free labor, may survive the
shock, and even increase in wealth. But
the mass of the aristocrary, the men with
less than thousand peasants, must yield to
the pressure, and give way to moneyed
class, already advancing in power and in-
fuence. The project of compensation it
regards as impossible, and the right to COL
lect rents from the free Serf, for the occu
patton of the land he already considers as
bis own, as incapable of enforcement by
any power which can be brought to bear.
The army itself is composed of Serfs, eman-
cipated by the act, and its aid will not be
servlceable. The only resort for the aris-
tocracy will therefore be submission to TEN.
porary extinction, an arrangement which is
to be looked upon as gain, as in Russia
their absence will be felt only in sense of
relief from dead weight on human energy.
In their place there will be added to the
population of the empire forty millions of
freemen, instinct with energy and strength,
and almost fanatical in their devotion to the
throne, feeling which has been only
equalled by their detestation of the aristoc-
racy. Such an addition cannot but result
in an increase of political strength. And
when in viewing the question of emancipa-
ton the motive is sought which would
prompt measure so Numerically opposed
to the interests of the higher classes, in
whom is supposed to rest especially the
principal portion of loyalty to Imperial
power, it is easily discoverable in a more
just appreciation Of the characteristics of
the class who are benefited, and their nu-
merical and political Importance, as COM
pared with the very small portion who are
virtually ruined by the change. Any who
still are governed by the idea that in the
inception or realization of this great act,
the originator has been actuated by motives
and considerations of feeling and sympathy
for the serf, may rest assured that, as a
stroke of policy merely,-as means of
rendering more sure the power Of the throne,
which at first sight it would seem to endan-
ger,-it bears all the characteristics of con-
summate skill and craftsmanship. The
event lies in the history of the succeeding
generations.
