A TRANsCENDENTAL PHILosoPHER's IDEA OF
BEAUTY-Ralph Waldo Emersop, in bis new
volume, thus speaks OF beauty:
That beauty is the normal state, is shown
by the perpetual effort of nature to obtain it.
Mirabeau had an ugly face on a handsome
ground; and we see faces every day which
have good type, but have been marred in
the casting; proof that we are all entitled
to beauty: should have been beautiful if our
ancestors had kept the laws-as every lily
and every rose as well. But our bodies do
not mt u.s. but caricature and satirize us.
thus, shoSt legs, which eonstrain US to short,
mining steps are kind of personal insult and
contumely TO the owner; and long stills,
again, put him at perpetual disadvantage,
and force him to steop to the geaeral level OF
mankind. Martial Tdicules a gentleman OF
his day, whose countenance resembled the
tace OF swimmer seen under water. Saadi
describes sehoolmaster $50 ugly and grabbed
that the sight of him would derange the ec-
stacles of the orthodox
Faces are rarely true to any ideal type,
but are record, in sculpture, OF thousand
anecdotes of whm and folly. Portrait paint

PHILOSOPHER PICKET ExPLAINs-ALL OTH-
s,Rs EyAPoRATE We have received, says the
Sacramento News, the following communica-
zion from Philosopher Pickett, upon a peru
sal of which it will be seen that, in regard to
his promised discourse on the crisis, he is "let
in" and outsiders are "let out" The COM
munieation is as follows:
The discourse have for some time sought
TO make, deem, upon mature reflection, al
together inappropriate to speak to n mixed
assemblage, since much of the matter is pro
sected upon that plain of thought above the
'he comprehension, at present, of even the
recognized best intellects in the State. And
whilst some of it will be highly applauded
10y everybody, there will be found an equal
quantity to be as greatly reprehended bv
nearly all. This arises from the fact that I
belong to no party, order society nor sect
and am one of those very few men the world
produces, who is not afraid to look upon and
tell the truth, however unpopular or apnal-
ling it may be. In this prepared emanation
from my brain, raise the curtain from the
future. Would others gaze upon the dark
and bright sides of that vista, let them aid
me TO get the picture in print | am most
anxious to cast nay dread upon the waters.
The rapid fulfilmeBt of so many of the
prophecies i have for years been making, re-
garding important European aud American
affairs, should induce the now awaking atolid
masses to inquire of me what next?
Late news from the East acquaints us with
the lull, which Immediately precedes the
more terrific storm blasts We learn that the
very man months ago announced through
abe public prints would be at the head of an
Independent South, has been selected. A
few weeks hence we shall hear that Jefferson
Davis has been proclaimed temporary Dcta-
tor of the. fifteen slave States and their ter
ritories, and is at the head of well armed
and organized army of five hundred thousand
men. CHARLES E. PICKETT.

then the first giant would feel 'chagrn"
All the boys laughed at the illustration.

also fabricated by the Atlantic newspapers-
mature grave. through the ingratitude of a
young lady whom she had raised from indi-
gen@e to affluence, and who, after her mar
rage to an officer Of high rank in the U. S.
army, met Lola in the street, and not only
cut her dead, but threatened to put her in
charge of the police for daring to accost her;
from which abominable return of evil for
good, poor Lola sickened and died. At the
risk of spelling this bit of romance, we assert
that Lola Monies never fostered any young
lady in the United States At the close of
1850 or beginning of 1856 she made pro-
fessional tour to Australia, from San Francis
co, taking with her promising young actor,
named Foiiand, to act as her agent. Folland
had wife and three young children in Gin
cinnati. On the return voyage, Folland fell |
overheard and was lost. Lola, when she |
reached California, gave out IN speeches that |
she intended to take Folland's wife and chill !
dren under her protection. Whether she eve
er carried out the intention is more than we
know. One thing we do know, and that is,
that the eldest of the Foland children is not
now more than nine years old. So much for
a well concocted story of broken heart and
so much for the ungratefulness of wicked
female protege that never existed.
