ANOTHER PLAaUE.-While the Rus
sian disease has ragged with such feroci-
ty in the north of Europe, the south
western part of Asia has been suffering
from terrible visitation of the same
kind. The Levant Herald, of June Z,
says that letters from Medina give q
frightful account of the ravages of the
epidemic now raging both at that city
and Mecca. 1t takes the form both of
typhus and cholera. On the eve of
Courban- Beiram, and during the first
and second days of the feast, this terri
fic scourge carried off no less than 46, 900
victims amongst the pilgrims, and
though the intensity of the plague is
somewhat abated, multitudes still per-
ish. The inhabitants have fled, and the
streets are filed with corpses. OF the
Persian pilgrims alone no less than 5000
have fallen victims, amongst VIII om is
| the sheik Mira Hachim, who, sal mt as
he was reputed to be, has persisted with
his whole household, composed OF ten
persons. Sheriff Abdullah Pacha has
taken refuge at Taft, and the Governor
General, Vedji Pacha, after having lost
a son and daughter, has himself fallen
dangerously ill. 4nq y

LINES.

Try, and, perhaps, thou may'st not err,
To sound the depths of oceans caves,
Where long and late the mariner
Impels his bark DER unknown waves.
But think not with thine utmost art
To fathom all thy brothers heart.
There is an evil and good .
Tn every soul, unknown to thee,
A darker, or brighter mood
Than aught thine eye can ever zee.
Words, actions, family mark the whole
That lies within the human soul.
Perhaps thy sterner mind condemns
Some brother-mind, that reasoning less,
The tide of error slowly stems,
In love, in grief, in WEAKNESS;
Thou call'st him weak-thou canst not know
The trials, Ills that made him SO.
Perhaps thy spirits calm repose
No evil dream hath come to spoil,
A firm, resistless front it shows
Amid the passions fiercest broil:
IT'S we'll enjoy and bless thy lot,
Still pity ing him who shares it not.
The pure, the holy-they, perchance,
About thy path hath e'er been seen;
Nor could thy feet one step advance
But there their pious care had been.
Oh! happy in that better state,
Yet, pray for hearts more desolate.

SOMEBODY.

Somebody opens our garden gate,
Every night, at the stroke of eight;
Somebody's shadow, long and tall,
Falls on our messy garden wall;
Somebody's step is firm and fleet,
Somebody's voice is low and sweet,
Somebody's heart Is full of glee,
For somebody comes counting mel
OH these evenings, so still and bright,
Magical, mystical, glad moonlight,
Flowers that shut your starry eyes,
Stars that gaze in your soft surprise,
Birds that hush your silvery song,
Crickets that chirp the night live-long,
Have you ever thought of the joyous glee,
That somebody knows, when he's counting me
Bring me bud, to deck my curls,
Gladest happiest, gayest of girls,
Give me ribbon, to tie my hair,
Somebody's eyes will think me fair,
Sing me song of love and glee,
For somebody comes counting me.
Fair is thefruit, ere it leaves the vine,
Rich is the foam on the sparkling wine,
Dew-drops are brighter than diamonds cold,
A maids true heart, is better than gold,
So come with your step so firm and fleet
And your voice so low, and your kisses sweet,
And calm shall 1t be, over land and sea,
When somebody comes a counting me.

More "reminiscences of Mr.. Lincoln.

Mr.. Carpenter, the artist, contributes
another chapter of his "reminiscences of
Mr.. Lincoln, from which We take the
following:
SHAKESPEARE.
Something was said about the play of
Hamlet" Mr.. Lincoln walked up
with the mention of the theme, and soon
after said--and have often thought of
his words with sad interest since his
own assassination:-"Th is one pas
very apt to be slurred over by the actor,
or omitted altogether, which seems to
me the choicestpart of the play. Itis,u
he went on to say, "the soliloGuy of tho
king after the murder. 1t always struck
me as one of the finest touches of nature
in the wOrld.u Y
Remaining in thought for few mo-
ments, he continued:
'The opening of the play of King
Richard the Third seems to be often en-
tirely misapprehended 1t is quite COM
mon for an actor to come upon the stage,
and in a sophomorical style, to begin
with flourish
Now Is the winter of our discomfort
Made glorious summer by this of York,
And all the clouds that lowered upon house
In the deep bosom OF the ocean buried
Now" said he, "this is all wrong.
Richard, you remember, had been, and
was then, plotting the destruction of his
brothers to make room for himself
Outwardly, the most loyal to the newly
crowned king, secretly he could scarcely
contain his impatience at the obstacles
still in the way of his own elevation.
He appears upon the stage, Just after the

STARLIGHT FANCIEs.

Hast thou ever in the silence,
And the loneliness Of night,
Seen some star, that like a spirit,
Cheered the hours with its light?
Has it never smiled upon thee,
With the witching of its beam2
Has II never stole upon thee
Like some half forgotten dreami
Did not memory prattle to thee,
In the language of that star;
And the future bring before thee
Visions of some land ATARI
Fancy, surely, whispered to thee,
Twas some island of the sky,
Where the rough winds never wander,
Where the softest zephyrs sigh.
Where the fairest flowers of Eden,
Perfume all the air around;
Where the heavenly soul of music,
And eternal sweets are found.
Where are fruits of every climate,
And the spicy eastern grove,
Stirred forever by the songster,
And the child-like voice of Love.
Where no anguished sorrow dwelleth,
Nor trouble, nor a care;
Where each grace and virtue liveth,
3 All of Paradise that's here.
Where the loveliest of the Heavens
And the purest of the earth,
Meet in fairy walks together,
Aud awake celestial mirth ...f
Where divinity has lavished
All the bounties of his soul;
Where we live and live forever, 4..
In sweet divine control.
Where the sanity cherub fingers,
To refresh his wearied wings,
And the blissful soul reposes
+. Far away from earthly things,
When perchance, some friend departed.
"a, Looks upon us from on high, '..
And we think that star the sweetest,
For it seems loving eye. ....
Has not fancy woke desire,
, . And thy spirit felt Its BIRTH
Did thy soul not fly delighted, .g..t
Far away from all q earth' f
Seeking for that fancy island,
Till it wearied in its flight,
And the Heavens far beyond it,
Shining sweetly thro' tho night.
Tho We may not DO selected,
To enjoy its dear delight;
Yet tits sweet, tits bliss surprising,
Thus to dream within its light.

BRAGG.-The following in relation to
one of the most noted, as we'll as one of
the most unsuccessful Generals of the

This old and prominent citizen Of LOU

ed during the late war, arrived in our
city by the Mobile boat, yesterday MORN
ing, and is stopping at the st. Charles.
General Bragg is in excellent health,
and looks as if he could "give 'em lit
tie more grape" yet, as in the more hal
cyon and glorious days of the Republic.
Like allthe Generals Of the Confederate
army, he recognizes the march ofevents,
and Is only ambitious now to retire, as
before the war, and fulfill the duties OF
an American citizen.

The XXXVIIIth Congress will convene at

with Col. John w. Forney of Pa as Secretary.
The majority of the UnionistS is here 50 heavy

lately in rebellion were to have Senator'S pres
ent at the hour Of opening the Session, las sew
eral of them will not, and if each were to claim
and hold his seat, there would still be Uni.

AS to the House, the case is but little differ

they had done all in their power to aid the rebe-

men out of the South
In word, the rebels of the South have by
no means abandoned this long cherished idea
OF separating the Government. They are look
ing to this end and more, they are organizing

pose to dissolve the Union by the use of the

nally failed. Their purpose is to accomplish
their Internal plans through the ballOt-bOx in
Congress- and they look to the COpperhead
Democracy and other Northern traitors to aid
them. Thank God, the recent elections at the
North have blasted their hopes for the pres

THE Observation-Disclosures Waddell, Of
the Anglo-rebel privateer Shenandoah, has ta-
ken that notorious vessel home to England -
From the tone of the few brief extracts from
the English papers thus far received by tele-
graph, we Judge that our neutral friends in
that country would much rather she had been
taken somewhere else. They betray an evident
consciousness that they will be now bound in
honor to take some action beyond the mere
surrender of the ship to the United States au.
thorites. What to do with Wadden, who
ought to be regarded as an outlaw, is already
beginning to puzzle them. Many months aro.
when the Shenandoah was active in her den,
rotations, there was great deal of talk in the
English newspapers about sending out their
naval vessels to pursue her as a pirate Now
they have the pirate ship and the pirate cap
tain in their custody, and it will bother even
English duphcity to dispose of them so as to
satisfy at once their own desires and their hon

THE POWER GIVEN TO CONGRESS BY THE
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT-T long
ayowed objection Of the late slavehOlding
States to the Constitutional Amendment is di-
rectly against the second section, which reads
thus: Congress shall have power to enforce
this article by appropriate legislation. 1t is
said there is danger that under this, Congress
will assume the full guardianship of the freed
men, and that perpetual discord must come Of
it.
If there be any such danger, that second
section is not its cause. Congress would have
just as much power if that second section did
not exist. There is no article in the constitu-
ton, whether mandatory or prohibitOry, which
Congress has not the power to legislate upon
so that it shall be maintained inviolate. The
constitution forbids the States to enter into any
treaty; to grant letters OF marque; to coin
money; to pass any law impairing the oblga-
ton of contracts; to do divers other things
specified. Nobody ever doubted that Congress
has power to enforce these prohibitions by
appropriate legislation" whenever needful,
though there is no express provision to that
effect. The same power must Inherently exist
to enforce this new inhibition of slavery and
involuntary servitude This second section
was appended to the body of the Amendment
in an excessive anxiety to shield it from soph-
stry and quibble

1t is stated, however, that Judge Spence in

that votes were cast by parties who We're not
registered. The Cambridge Herald alleges
that many persons voted in Dorchester county
who had not been registered, and that about
three hundred similar votes were cast in Ger
tain election districts i'll Somerset, and adds:
= If the returns of those districts of SOmer-
set and Dorchester be thrown out entirely, in
which unregistered votes were taken, Judge
Spence will have received nearly one hundred
majority. But if the votes of those districts
be counted, with the unregistered votes exclu-
ded, his majority will be more than two hun
