"SANDs OF LIFE."-Holbrook of the Uni
ted States Mail--who has an inimitable facul-
ty Of telling good story in capital manner
gives the following account of 'sel p per-
petrate at the expense of the noted "retired
physician" who has such tender regard for
suffering humanity:
"The detection of Brophy, the Jersey City
mail robber, is of course regarded as of no
small public benefit by the citizens of that
place, and perhaps by none more SO than that
long suffering individual, the celebrated re-
tired physician, whose sands of life have near
ly run OUT Tor who, as another expressed it,
has been afflicted with a loose tail board to
his mortal sand-cart.] This superannuated
disciple of Galen, it appears, has for many
years been awaiting the final exhaustion of his
stock OF sand in the peaceful retirement of
Jersey City, from whence he issues his we'll
known advertisements, and where his letters
are addressed and as most of these were
handled by Brophy, it is not surprising that
the number which reached their destination
recently began to grow small by degrees
Since Brophy's arrest, however, the heart Of
the aged and afflicted ex-practitoner has been
gladened by very perceptible increase in his
correspondence, while, as we learn, from that
Tor some other) cause, he would now hardly
be supposed, from his appearance, to be over
thirty-five years of age! This apparent juve-
nifty may however be accounted for by the
fact that some benevolent individual recently
forwarded to him by express, a large Though
uNPAID) package, which on being opened was
found TO contain half bushel bag of the arti-
Gle of which he was in such evident need

Grierson,s Ride.

The steamship George Washington arrived
in New York last Sunday, from New Orleans
10th, bringing the particulars of Col. Grier-
sons daring ride of more than 800 miles
through the enemy's country, with column
of two thousand cavalry and six pieces of
artillery. The column cut loose from its COM
munications and performed the whole journey
from LAGRANGE, Tenn, to Baton Rouge in
sixteen days. Their entire loss was one killed
and five wounded. The men were faded on
their arrival at Baton Rouge, having had but
one full nights sleep after leaving La Grange,
and some of them were suffering from swollen
legs and erysipeas, occasioned by sitting so
leng in the saddle; but only twelve went into
hospital.
The I'd Iowa, which started with the col
umn, did not come through. Col. Griersons
original intention was to return 10 Tennessee,
a purpose which he chose to forego, as the
rebel attachments sent to cut him off were
successfully eluded and fell into the rear,
awaiting his return, and leaving the way open
for a continued advance. His command met
q very warm reception at Baton Rouge.
The following outline of the expedition, re-
ceived in this city by the George Washing
tens mail, is published by permission:
At daybreak, on the 18th of April, Col

THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, for April,
Comes promptly TO hand from the American pub

eight articles-l Austrian Constitutionalsm; O. The
Reformation Arrested; 8. The Resources of India;
4. The Jews of Western Europe; 5. Lady Morgan;
8. Truth Edificaton the Colensic artclel; T.
The Antiquity of Man; S. Contemporary Litera-
ture From the last article select one or two pas
sages which Illustrate the present drift of English
opinion on the American question:
Page 9oO-The virulence and clamor with which
the merely accidental features of this conflict have
been perverted by many Of the leading organs of
English opinion, and the shameful advantage which
has been taken of the general ignorance of English
men on American politics, renders calm review of
the true issues and an impartial criticism of the
gress made in America itself towards their full
ognition most valuable. To diseDgage the real
grounds of dispute from the exasperated recrimna-
tons of the already engaged dispufants is in every
case, one Of the most useful it is certainly of
the most difficult of tasks. conflict like that now
raging in America between men who the one
side, are defending their property, and such prop
erty and men who, on the other, only just
ognzing the full weight of the principles implicated
in the dispute, may be fairly expected produce
suits which yet have but family appealed 10 the
sympahies of Europe. A clear purpose and resoute
selfshness have simplifed the Southern case and
argument, that it must be opposed in America by
principles as clear and by selfdenial as resoute.
Neither of these things Is born in a night; but many
nights of trouble and disaster will assuredly bring
them forth.
Page 3O2-The conclusion that the present war will
be virtually fatal TO slavery in the States is
which no thinking man fail TO arrive; but the
prediction that the North and South can never come
together again. is in opinion by means so well
founded. On the contrary we cannot any rea-
son why they should not again form one nation,
when once the sole cause of their disruption is
moved. Were it not for the existence of slavery in
the South. there is nothing TO lead such conclu-
sion. but. the other hand. every difficulty which
nature, by geographical position and conformation.
can put in the way of diversity of States ON the
American Continent This bitter quarrel when
once its cause is removed, will, like those family
ones which 1t so much resembles. be forgotten in q
common interest and community of blood and lam
guage.
