A New IDEA IN PHoToGRAPHY.-An artist
in Richmond has just invented new style of
photograph or carte derisite which will un-
doubtedly become very popular. The "new
idea" as described by the Examiner, is to
take the head of a lady in the midst Of
petals of any kind of hower-rose, tulip or
lily. The profile appears almost smothered
in beautiful and highly colored flower with
long stem attached, and looks as natural as
though it had grown there.

Capt. Afford was noble gentleman, and
not only endeared himself to all those con-
nected with the keokuk and st. Louis Packet
Company, but was universal fsvorite with
the travelling public, and his courteous de-
meanor to all was in great measure the Sc
cret of the popularity of the beautiful steam.
er he commanded. A universal feeling of
regret will be manifested alongth line at the
announcement Of his demise, and none out
side of his circle Of relatives will feel more
keenly his loss than the company in whose
employ he has been, and whom he has served
so long and so we'll.

frst-"useless with regard to some parti-
%culars," and-in the carrying out of it
''subject to numerous EXCEPTIONS" yet, on
the whole, every business man, at least,
ought to have a copy. But no the mer-
chant and shopkeeper declare it so imper-
fectly regarded that they would rather
leave themselves to the mercy of the Gus
tom Officers, than to have something that
would serve to perplex rather than enlight-
en-. The planter, the mechanic, etc., insist
upon that they have no use for it. To the
"sisterhood" it would be considered mad
ness to offer either of them a copy, as they
believe it a thing entirely intended for men.
The "StattSticaL TubLeS Of the Sugar
Crop" is still more disregarded than the
others, on account of what some would call
(f they know the term) its cOmplexity-
that part of them, [ mean, on which you
must have expended much time and labour
to calculate-and pronounce that they
only serve to show the number of Estates,
their names, and the names of their owners.
This and the other lame reasons, above
cited, have given the death-blow to the cir
c~ulation of your three most useful and in
teresting publications, and caused them to
be, apparently, buried in oblivion.
Without making any positive promise
to tell you anything more just now, | shall
close and keep quiet for a little time, in
hope Of seeing, soon, some interesting artl-
Giles appearing in your paper. This would
be most pleasing, l am sure, and would
show that we have, in our community,
some, at least, who possess a larger share
Of "public spirit than *. I. N" gives

The SigJo Of Havana of the 26th May,
says:-
The Steamer Ciudad Condak which
arrived this morning from Vera Cruz,
brought us important and decisive news
from the seat of war. Queretaro has at
last fallen into the hands of the Repub-
lican forces. On the 18th of May, the
Liberals made the last assault on the
Fort de Cruz, which decided The fate of
the Imperialists, Macmillan and Gene

We feel glad to hear that good Engines
are o in the Island, and so must every
one who takes any interest in the safety
and welfare of the place /; and trust that
the time is far distant and may never
come, to see the new Engine in actual
play still it is the duty of every people
to provide every thing against danger,
and always to use necessary precautions
for the ~extinguishing of that dreadful
element-Fire.
Now that the new Fire Engine is on the
spot, we take the liberty to offer a few
suggestions to the authorities. The pre-
sent Brand or Fire Depot is already crowd
ed with the old Engines and other imple-
ments appertaining to the Fire Depart
ment. The opportunity now offers to
have here two or three Fire Depots, which
is essentially necessary !; because a great
deal of time is lost in getting to the place
where a fire breaks out. Say, were a fire,
unfortunately, to break out in Free Gut
or Water Gut, would much time not be
gained were a Fire Depot established in
the Sunday-Market Decidedly And we
think there is a vacant store on the base
ment of Mr.. Alfred Creagh's house in Mark
ct Street, which, we dare say, could be
had at a reasonable rate, and which locali-
ty would be a capital one. With regard
to Gallows Bay, the Fire Engine belong
ing to the Barracks, would form the third
station.

This celebrated Company come from st.

receiving great patronage. We trust that
they will be dealt with here as favorably
as in St. Thomas, and we feel confident
that from the satisfaction the Company
rendered here in the year 1865, and the
liberal support they then enjoyed, that
this time will rival the last in that general
encouragement which the great and as

I'VE are thankful to "a Subscriber" for the
truthful Illustration he has given, and are glad
to see that, at least, there is one member in the

energy, even poor and feeble as some would
pronounce it to be, of a fellow citizen believ-
ing it to be a well-known fact, that all enter
prises and energies of men, however. great or

l,EoJosHUA AsAaGENERAL.--Gen. D.
| Fl. Hill, of the late Confederate army,
has high opinion Of the military
skill of Joshua, and thinks he dis.
plays a superiority over noted gen.
erals Of later times. He says
| "Joshua, the successor Of Moses,
was distinguished by the favor of
Heaven, and yet was oneiof the most
renowned military leaders Of his own
or any other age. = His strategy and
maneuvering furnish an interesting
study, at this day, to the student of
military history. He viii see that
the mistake which Washington. made
at Germantown in attempting to take
Chew's house; which Greene made
at Eutaw in attempting ,toatake the
brick Jail, Joshua. did not make when
the five kings fled to their cave, or
stronghold at Makkedah. He did
not turn aside from The great object,
but gave orders. sosStay Sye not, but
pursue after your enemies and smite
the hindermost Of, them suffer them
not to enter their cities Had Jack
son, at New Orleans, been familiar
with the tactics Of Joshua, he would
khaye made his night attack of the
22d of of1December just before day,
and thus have anticipated the great
victory Of the .Sth Of January. Is it
not strange that military men in
modern times, with all the lights of
history and experience before them,
can discover no mistakes in the cam
paigns Of Joshua, who marched and
fought ages before Alexander, Han
nibal, Caesar and Napoleon Whence
did he derive his strategy? Who
taught him the art Of war?
e. FREEMAsoNRY.-Ther is no hu-
man organization upon the globe that
ever has or ever. will harmonic in
one body So many elements which
are in eternal conflict, as the Ma
sonic organization. It's wise foun-
ders organized it upon few simple
but cardinal landmarks, which com
mand the approbation and lay fast
hold upon the affections of it's ini-
tiates, and while they furnish no
grounds Of controversy, admit no i'm
provement, and tolerate no change.
The old patriarch, Enoch, inscribed
them upon pillar of stone, and
transmitted them through the mighty
flood. Noah taught them to two Of
his sons upon the summit Of the sa-
cred mountain where his ark rested
when the food subsidized, and the
earth bloomed and blushed again
with vine and fruit under the genial
sun; Moses learned them from the
old priests on the banks Of the Nile;
the. men Of lGebel carved them on
the rock ribs Of the Mediterranean
sea; Solomon and the two Hirams
collected them in a brief code at Je-
rusalem, and the builders and re-
builders of the Temple spread them
over the globe and they transmitted

presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same

which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging

assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 81 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.

A Coon Thing SPolLED.-The Rus
sian diplomatic note proves to have
been anything but Russian. 1t is
great pity that the facts spoil so fine
a sensational documents. While the
British government, with broad and
far-reaching philanthropy, has been
trying to induce other governments to
rule justly, it is very unfortunate that
Great Britain is obliged to proceed
without gratuitous help. She has
done SO much for other countries vol
unfairly, that she deserves some
proper recognition Of her benevolent
intermeddIing. by return in kind.
In point of fact, by not limiting her
charitable exertions to her own PEG
pie, she has taken SO much upon her
hands as to be forced to neglect her
home duties. But as Prince Gort-
schakoH did not address the letter to
England, France and the United
States. which tie Atlantic cable cred
tied him with, the retort courteous
has not yet been delivered and Rus
STA has not proffered assistance in re
fo'm'ng the abuses to which Ireland
is subject under the Unlon.-New Or.
