We mentioned on Saturday morning that
several heavy boxes had passed through this
city on the Jacksonville road. evidently dis
g,iised packages of arms or munitions Of war.
This suspicion i confirmed by another case
exactly similar. occurring on the same road.
which the Louisville Journal relates:
Z" yesterday morning five boxes, weighing
seven hundred and sixty pounds each. and
evidently from their weight AMI shape con
tanning muskcts. came upon the Jacksonville
Railroad. directed 70 Brown & Co, Jeiler
sonsiIlc" After the boxes were taken from
the cam, n man with a jack plane planned of
the direction and substituted with brush and
lampblnek Thompson & Co.. Nashville and
the muskets we're duly forwarded Yesterday
upon the Nashville Railroad.
This occurrence. VIC understand. created
considerable remark and not little dissatis-
faction In Jacksonville. We believe that
the people Of that town and of Indiana gen
orally. have not only kind feelings towards
our people hut good deal of confidence In
them vet il cannot be expected that this con
fidenee. so desirable on all accounts will con
tinue. If munitions Of war shall By strategem
be smugglcd through Indiana and across the
river for the use Of States IN open war with
the Union 10 which Indiana belongs"
We think the officers OF the Jacksonville
railroad VIII find IL 90 their advantage and
that OF their rad. o. exercise little patriotic
supervision Of their shipments They violate
the Law cverv time they carry these unlawful
goods. and though they NAV not know Il. il /.

Two GERMAN chemists working together in
their laboratory, at Heildsberg, have analyzed
the body of the sun. Fabulous as it may
seem, it is literally true. They arrived at the
result of the analysis solely by close examiua-
tion of the rays of light. BY this means it is
ascertained, in manner quite convincing to
those who have witnessed the experiments,
that the body of the sun contains large por-
tions of iron and other metels and earth COM

SELLING A RE PoRTER.-The Mr. Russell,
who now represents the London Times here,
is the same gentleman who was sent by that
journal to Ireland TO report O'Connells S
speeches during the Repeal agitation. One
of the first meetings the newspaper man at
tended was in Kerry. Having heard of
O'Connell's polite qualities, he thought he
would ask that gentlemans permission to take
verbatim account of the Grafton. The
"Liberator " not only consented, but, in his
jolliest manner, informed the assembled au-
dience that "until that ginteman was pro-
vided with all writin' convaniencies, be would
not spake word" assuming an extra broguc,
which was altogether unnecessary. Russell
was delighted. The preparations began, and
were completed Russell was ready:
care you quite ready?" asked Dan.
"Quite ready"
"Now, are you sure you are entirely ready ?"
"Im certain, sir. Yes"
The crowd becoming excited and impatient,
Dan said, Now, pom my conscience won't
begin the speech till the London gentleman is
entirely ready"
After waiting another moment or so,
O'Connell advanced eyes glistened ears
were all attention (; and the reportorial pencil
arose. Dan gave one more benignant smile
on the correspondent, winked at the auditors,
and commenced has speech IN the L,sh language,

Lowly Pleasures.
BY BARRY CORNWALL.

b1 BARRY CORNWALL.
Methinks love all common things;
The common air, the common flower
The dear kind common thought that springs
From hearts that have no other dover,
No other wealth, no other power,
Save love and will not that repay
For all else fortune tears away?
Methinks I love the horny hand
That labors until dusk from dawn;
Methinks love the russell band,
Beyond the land ofsilk or lawn
And oh the lovely laughter drawn
From pleasant lips, when sunny May
Leads in some fowery holiday
What good are fancies fair, that rack
With painful thoughts the poets brain?
Alas they cannot bear us back
Unto our happy years again
But the white rose without a stain
Bringeth US times and thoughts of flowers,
When youth was bounteous as the hours.
Fen now, were I but rich, my hand
Should open like vernal cloud
Which casts its beauty on land
In music sweet but never loud
But am of the humble crowd
And thus l am content to be.
If thou, sweet muse, will cherish me.
