The legend of Pocahontas has been ta- ken In hand bya remorseless critic, and stripped of all it's poetry. It is shown that John smith preSsricated in his several ac. counts of the young lady and her illustrious papa, and contradicted himself every time he told the story. Even the character of the ancestress of so many noble Virginians IS treated with scant courtesy. and she is proved to have conducted herself with du- bious3 propriety in the camp.

A SAD CAsE.-Rev. James Belcher
died a few days ago at Blackwell s
Island, in the alms-house, Of delirium
tremens, and now fills paupers grave.
This announcement is made on the au-
thority of a Boston correspondent OF
the Christian Times, and is a sad one
indeed. Mr.. Belcher, seven years ago,
was the pastor Of the Baldwin Place
Baptist church, Boston, as the successor
Of such men as DR.. Baldwin, Rev. j. D..
Knowles and Rev. DR.. Stowe.
He was man Of talent and an able
and eloquent preacher, but he yielded to
temptation, and step by step he went
down to a drunkard's grave. How many
bright and shining lights are struck
down by this monster Of iniquity.
Strange it is that this demon whose
victims of destruction are legion cannot
be banished from the land and the
world. Who will vote for license laws
while such cases as Mr.. Belchers are
multiplying around us

ing the year 1866, 10000 pounds Of

500 pounds Of sugar made In the town,
and estimated at 10 cents per pound, the

PARIS ExPOsUTIoN.-In the transverse
corridor are some very handsome cases
filed with bronze and aluminium con-
Ceits, apparently mainly ornaments for
mantelpieCes and vestibules next come
long cases OF armor in steel, chain work,
and brass, iewelry large and small, and
little articles in what the French cali
"bijOuterie." This section very nearly
resembles one Of those brilliant covered
arcades which PASS from the Rue st.
HOuO1e to the Bouevards, and from the
Boulevards up to the Rue Cadet. There
is the same gay appearance, the same
fanCilul miscellany Of articles, some use
full, but mostly ornamental an epitome
Of all the shops which please by the
curiosities they display and the taste
with which they display them.
A very handsome compartment is de-
voted to the artificial flowers, head
dresses, ornaments for the head and
neck, materials for the couture; the
artificial flowers being Of wax, linen
and paper. There are, too, ostrich
feathers OF gorgeous colors,-iu short,
everything which appertains to the
dressing and adjoining Of the female
uGGu anu LldG DCluS d NCl 4hlCACctIuS
part of lady's toilet as the fashions
now are, this spot is very attractive to
the gentler sex.
Next come military equipments, en-
broideries Of all sorts, banners, gold and
silver cords then compartment in
which all varieties Of Paris-made gloves
are to be seen, fanciful devices for canes
and parsols.
A long room then intervenes devoted
solely to q rich collection Of Cashmere
shawis, superb enough, and calculated
to kindle envy in the female heart.
In another transverse corridor is an
ornate case in which are some beautiful
wax dolls, considerably more faithful to
nature than those which the Boston
| girls 90 wild over on Washington street,
the chief attraction Of which is the eX
act taste with which they are dressed
according to the latest fashions.
This is Introductory to another com
partment displaying eOifiWes where are
wigs, ancient and modern, hair in every
possible shape and Of every possible
color, together with Chignons, water
falls, ct cetera. Of the most recH1'eAe con-

THR ALBANY LoBBY OUTwITTRD.-In
this weeks Spirit OF the Times, Mr.,
George Wilkes gives an amusing &C
count of a field fight with the Albany
lobby, in which that veteran body was
badly worsted, He was one of the trus-
tees of the Lower California Company"
and the secretary o. the board Asso-
ciated with him were c. X. Garrison,
William r. Traverse, l.. w. Jerome,
General B. F. Butler, A. Belmont, D.
Crawford, j. A. Griswold and w. G.
Fargo, The company had obtained
from the Mexican government a grant
of forty.eight thousand acres in Lower
California, and determined to procure
charter from the State Of New York. 1t
was supposed from the national impor-
lance Of the project, and from the polit-
ical standing Of the inCorporators, that
the application had only to be made
to belgranted.
The event proved otherwise. Mr..
Wilkes says: 1.-THE members saw in
their visions Of Lower California an
empire of gold, silver and pearls; and
the lobby, drunk on the very names OF
| the trustees rushed to the members,
| entreatlug their discretion, and initiating
| them with dreams Of incalcuable fees.
| Never was bill more warmly WelCOm-
! ed never was bill more firmly nailed
! to the counter to abide results The
| lobby at first Centented themselves with
demanding five hundred and sixty
shares Of stock, at par $4,000.
at every interview they raised their
price until sixty days after the intro
duction Of the bill, Mr.. Wilkes assures
US, it had reached the modest sum Of
$500 600, They also wanted SIS 200 cash
down,
This was the last feather upon the
back Of Mr.. Wilkes patience, and broke
H. lie wrote letter to Senator SCOycl
of New Jersey, telling him the facts in
the case, and asking him to procure the
introduction Of the bill in the Legislature
OF that State. Ten days afterwards the
company received their charter FROM

bill withdrawn. The CONSERVATION o.

rushed through the House that night.

whether he wished the bill to pass tht
Senate. He answered NO the com
pany have decided to organize under th'
New Jersey charter" The Senate passeC
the bill, Notwithstanding and the Low

Mr.. Wilkes draws this moral from hi
story "The approaching Constitutions
Convention had better provide som
mode Of compensation for our lutur
legislators, which will save those homes
gentlemen from furtive and preCariou
mode Of livelihood, or at least protec
them from foreign rivalry"
