A Costly RoBE.-When Diouysius entered
Croton, the largest city OF Magma Gracia, B. c.
3S7, he plunderod the temple Of Juno of its splen.
did treasures, among which was robe, illfully
wrought and snmptuously decorated, the votive
offering of Sybariie named Alkimines. Dyo.
nysius sold this robe to the Carthuginians for the
prodgious price of 100 talents, or about f27 900
sterling This may appear an incredible sum
but the robe was probably dedicated to the
recently.introduced Hellenic deities, whom the
Carlhag ginians were particularly anxious to pro.
pitate ir the hope Of averting or aileviating the
frightful pestilences wherewith they had been so
often smiten; and the honor done to the new
gods would be mainly estimated according TO the
magnitude OF the sum laid out.

SONG OF THE UNENFRANCHIsED.

The following song is being sung in England
by several millions of the unenfrapchisod
working men, to the disgust of the snobs
and aristocrats:
We plow and SOW, we're 80 very, very low,
That we delve In the dirty clay,
Till We bless the plain with tho golden grain
And the vale with tho fragrant hay.
Our place we know, we're so very low,
'Tis down at the landlords feet;
We're not too low the grain to grow,
But too low the bread to cat. .4
Down, down, we go, we're so very, very low,
To the hell of the deep sunk mines,
But we gather the proudest gems that glow;
When the crown of despot shines,
And, whepe'er be lacks, upon our backs
Fresh loads he deigns to lay;
Wore far too low 10 vote the tax,
But not too low to pay.
We're low, we're low, more rabble VIC know.
But at our plastic power
The mold at the lording's feet vii! grow
Into palace, church and tower,
Then prostrato fall 10 tho rich mans hall,
And criDgo at the rich mans door;
We're not too low to build the wall,
But too low to tread the floor.
Were low, we're low, we're very. very low,
Yet from our fingers glide
The sikeu flow, and tie robes that glow
Round the limbs of the sons of pride,
And what we get, and what we give,
We know, and we know our share;
We're not too low the cloth to weave,
But too low the cloth to wear.
We're low, we're low, we're very, very low,
And yet when the trumpets ring,
The thrust of a poor mans arm will 20
Thro' tho heart of the proudest king.
We're low, we're low, our place we know,
We're only the rank and file; 4.''
We're not too low to fight the foe,
But 10 low to touch the spoil.

The First Lake Vessel.

A correspondent OF the Philadelphia
News, who recently voyaged to Lake Su-
perior on what he justly styles "the pride
of Cleveland-lhe Lac La Belle" thus
speaks of the first lake vessel: -.-19
Nearly hundred years ago the first
vessel was launched upon the lakes. In
l769 little schooner, built at Cuyuga
creek by the Chevalier de la Sale, was
placed upon Lake Erie. He called her
the "Grifin," and as she coasted along
the shore, waking The stiffness of The for.

and saw with awe and smazement the

clusion been disturbed. La Salle's voy.
age was an era in The history of the lake.
The immense fur trade was at that time
undeveloped. The first trading house
had been built but year. English Gu
pidity or French explorations had not re-
vealed snd secured the rich treasures OF
the fur trade; and the cruise of the "Grif.
fin" was the first practical impetus given
10 the traffic. La Sale sailed from the
foot OF Lake Erie on the 7th of August,
1859. He reached Mackinac on the 28th,
loaded his vessel with furs, and sent her
on her return to Niagara. A storm
wrecked her, and the crew OF six men,
and the cargo valued at sixty thousand
francs, were iost>

AN extraordinary incident is related as hav.

Hotel, Bay City, Michigan, recently. A lady
who occupied rooms on the third floor became
somewhat excited when the alarm OF fire was
given, and went down stairs TO discover where it
was. leaving her infant child asleep in bed. In
the confusion she forgot it until the flames had

was prevented. The firemen and others, in saw.

windows. This identical bed was rolled up
thrown out ofthe window, and carried with other
goods on to the bridge for safety. After the fire,
in removing the goods, the little innocent was
found safe and asleep.

AARON BURR, according to Parton, was be-
trayed by shoe leather, when he attempted to es-
cape through the South to the Gulf coast. Burrs
assumed dress was the ''rude homespun of the
country, but the quick eye of Perkins," contn.
ues the biographer, observed that his boots were
far too elegantly shaped, and of material much
too fine, to accord With the ill cut pantaloons
from which they protruded." Burr was tried Tor
treason and acquitted. Davis will probably be
tried for the same offence, convicted and hung

THE New York Tribune publishes q list
of COS ships that were either sold or trans
ferred to the protection of the British flag,
10 consequence of the depredations of Reb

ports. In addition about 800 other vessels
were transferred to the flags Of Brazil, Bue-

powers. These transfers began during the
latter part of 1862. and the amount OF

n Policy.

1t usually happens a short time before
the meeting of Congress that all sorts of
rumors are set aioat as to the policy to be
pursued on certain issues and confident
statements are made as TO the recommends
tons which the Presidential message and
reports of heads of departments will CON
tain. 1t is not surprising at all that these
rumOrs and prophesies usually happen to
have no more solid foundation than is found
in the exuberant Imagination of Washing
ton reporters, who are at times hard
pressed for real news. A great part of
the news from Washington at present is
of this character, and the constant reader
will not be at a loss to distinguish the
unreliable from that which bears upon its
face an air of probability. The truth is
realized more fully every day, after all,
that aside from the statistical and histor-
ical features of messages and reports, no
vital Importance is TO be placed upon
their political recommendations, where
they run counter to the public sentiment.
What Congress will do, is the main thing.
The recent speech of Mr.. Colfax, we think,
may be taken as an index of the senti-
ments held by a large majority of the
members, and Judging from the stand
point of his brief exposition of matters
and things, the action of Congress is easily
Without doubt a new plan of recon-
struction will be adopted. The policy of
the President, as al experiment, has
failed. The President himself has been
among the first to recognize this fact, and
has not been wanting in themagnanimityto
acknowledge the necessity for a change.
The proofs of its failure are glaring.
They are found in the universal defeat of
very loyal candidate at the late elections
the South-no matter of how mild a
ype the loyalty was. They are to be
cen in the reluctance and evident mental
.eservation with which the members of
'rovisionsl conventions acquiesced in
organic changes in the laws of
heir States. They appear perhaps more
Iainly than any where else in the undis-
uised spirit ofbitter luminosity to the negro ,

The plaintiff is a merchant of the city of

The message sent was:

By this error a.large quantity of these
braids was manufactured into unfashion-
able shapes. The plaintiff proved the
value Of the braids to be 50 per piece at
the time the dispatch was received, though
its cost to him originally was but 81, 70,
making the value of the braid $926 and
that the cost of manufacturing was $685.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

lFrOm the Liverpool fourier, Nov. 81
Early last evening the officers and crew
of the Shenandoah were liberated upon
parole, and landed at Liverpool. We are
informed that the order for parole was re-
ceived by Captain Painter, of the Done
gal, early in the afternoon, and that i'm
mediately after it was communicated to
Captain Waddell. Captain Waddeil then
came on shore and had an interview with
some Southern gentlemen, after which he
returned to his ship, and paid off and dis
charged the crew. At z o'clock the men
left the Shenandoah in the Rock Ferry
COmpany's steamer Bee, and at 8 o'clock
they were landed upOnthe Georges Land
ing stage. but new sPeUUTTUrs were pres
ent at thetime to witness the arrival of the
crew so renowned for their exploits, owing
doubtless to the fact that their parole was
not known even to themselves until a
short time before their landing. Each of
them brought on shore a large quantity of
luggage, and they appeared to have no
lack OF money-facts which appeared TO
attest that their long cruise had not been
unrewarded. The news of their arrival
soon spread, and crowds o fpersons collect
ing on the stage formed themselves into
groups around the sailors and endeavored
to draw them into conversation. These
attempts, however, rarely succeeded, and
when they did it was evident that the
men spoke rather to evade curiositythan
to satisfy it. The men, indeed appeared
to be themselves quite in the dark as to
their position, and though under the I'M
pressionthat they had done with the Shen-
andoah for good and all, appeared to la
Dor under a fear of committing themselves
or their officers by some rash statement
Some OF them eagerly questioned the bv-
ISLANDERS as to what the English papers
thought of the Shenandoah. and two or
three of them expressed the greatest sur
prise that the officers of that vessel sbould
even have been suspected of pursuing
t1elr work OF destruction with a knowl
edge of the termination of the war. The
men, though exhibiting a marked reti-
cence on matters connected with the dis. |
clPllne OF the ship, speak freelyofthe cir |
cumstances which led the Shenandoah to J
terminate her privateering career, nameiry
