New ORLEANS, Nov. 27.-The Louis
lana State Fair closed to-day with great
eclat. Visitors from the North and West,
including inventors and makers of agri-
cultural implements, and editors of ag-
ricultural papers declare it one of the
most useful, liberal and generous efforts
of the kind ever known, and predict as
its sequel the most rapid improvement
and return of the South to prosperity,
and great encouragement to Northern
and Western manufactures.
Texas papers speak hopefully of trade
and crops in that State.
Advices are received to-day from the
Rio Grande to the 23d inst. EscabadO
had arrived before MatamOras and de-
manded its surrender. Canales offered
to accede upon terms which Escabado
refused. Cortinas has levied forced

Portrait of Bccchcr.

He is what everybody would call
clever fellow. But he wants sense, not
talent-hc has supcrabundance Of that,
if talent means the capacity of doing
things. Few men have an intellect as
fertile aud quick as his; but in logical
faculty, in Judgment to choose the right
one, and the authority to lead and drive
others into it. Mr.. Beecher, and others
like him, mistake thinking for thought;
succession of ideas for reflection.
They think they have concluded when
they only stopped; and formed deter
mimation when they have only begun a
proceeding.

Three Travelling Agents Caught in the
Act Of Popping at Lucille Wes:arn
En- DishnbiIlc-The Actress Secs
Them Peering Over Transom and
Runs Behind a. scrccn-Ar rest OF the
Miserable Fellows.
From the Columbus Statesman OF Yesterday
On last Friday three solicitors for
wholesale houses in the East, came to
this city and put up at the American
Hotel. Two of them, Benjamin Bruce,
jr., and Charles l.. Stewart, represented
respectable houses in-New York city,
and B. B. Peck was from Spring
field, Massachusetts,. They were put
into room adjoining the one occupied
by Miss Lucille Western, the popular
actress, now playing an engagement at
the opera house. After Miss Western
had retired to her room, and en- dishG-
bile, was kneeling with her child at her
bedside in the act of prayer, with her
head elevated, she observed face peer
ING over the transom of the door leading
from the room into that occupied by the
three men. She Immediately sprang be-
hind the clothes-press 10 shield her
person from their observation, but
could not leave her position to
reach the bell without exposing
her person. In this situation
she was compelled to remain for nearly
an hour, until her husband came and
relieved her. A policeman was called,
who succeeded in arresting one OF the
parties, B. +. Peck, but the Others ias,,
tened their door, where they remained
until morning, when they were also ar
rested. Peck was taken to the calaboose,
where he had the pleasure of sleeping
on a board, behindSolts and bars, until
morning.
They all appeared before his Honor
the Mayor. in the morning, and two OF
them, Peck and Stewart, were identified
by Miss Western as being guilty of the
act-but it was found that there was no
ordinance which wonld reach their case,
and were consequently discharged with
a striking admonition from the May or.
1t is said that Bruce was not engaged IN
the scandalous transaction.
Subsequently the husband OF Miss
Yves ern met Peck at he American, and
walked up to him and spat into his face
three different times, and he SUNK away,
too much of cowardly bastard to re-
sent it. .s's. .

Very Fine Writing.

Among the AsSyrianS, the common
mode of keeping records of national and
historical events, was by stamping the
words upon bricks, tiles, or cylinders OF
clay baked after the impression was pro-
duced. Mr.. Lanyard, the celebrated eX-
plorer, in digging among the ruins of an
Gent Nincvah, found many specimens of
these records, most of which were writ
ten in such small characters, that their
forms could only be made out with the
use of a microscope. 4 rude magnifying
glass. made of rock crystal, was found,
which had probably been used for such
Il purpose. At the present day, instru-
ments are used for producing microscO-
pie writing, exceeding anything the an
clients could execute, and almost sur
passing belief. BY an apparatus called
\ pentarraph, the Lords Prayer has been
written i'm a space looking to the eye
like \ minute dot, and covering only the
3G5, OOOth part of an inch. Cndera good
microscope the letters are beautifully
clear and legible. 1t has been calcula-
ted that in this way the whole Bible
might by written in less than the TWEEN
ty-second part of a square inch. In using
the machine, the operator writes with u
pencil attached to the end of long
lever, and the marks thus made are re-
duced almost enthusiastically by series
of levers properly arranged, and engrav-
ed on a glass plate, which is made to
move over diamond point. BY means
of photography, reducing the size of let
tels with suitable lenses, equally aston
ishing writing has been produced: We
do not know of any specially useful APP
plicationg made of such writing, but it
might serve a good purpose i'll preserv-
ing secrect dispatches in time ct war,
which would escape notice if the mes
senger were captured.
