Genius and Poverty.
1t is one of the mysteries Of our life that
genius, that noblcst gift of God to man, is
nourished by poverty Its greatest works
have been achieved by the sorrowing ones
of the world, in tears and despair. Not in
the brilliant saloon, furnished with every
comfort and elegance not in the library,
well fitted, softly carpeted, and looking
out upon smooth green lawn, or broad
expanse Of scenery nor in ease and com.

dren. in the midst of the turbulence Of do
nestle contention, and in the deep gloom
of uncheered despair, is genius born and
reared. This is its birthplace, and in
scenes like these, unpropitious, repulsive.

trained themselves, until they have at last

Solemon's Tbrens,
The following account Of this remarka-
lie piece of mechanism purporss to be ia
ken from the Persian manuscript, called
- The History Of Jerusalem ~
The sides Of it were of pure gold, the
feet Of emeralds and rubies intermixed
with pearls. each of which were as large
as an ostrich'e egg. The throne had seven
sides on each side were delineated orch
ards full Of trees, the branches of which
were Of precious stones, representing fruit,
ripe and unripe; on the tops Of the trees
were to be seen figures of plumage birds,
particularly the peacock. the etanh and
the karges. All these birds were followed
within artifcially, SO ss to occasionally ut
ter melodeous sounds. such as the ear Of
mortal never heard. On the FIRST step were
delineated vine branches having lunches
of grapes. composed Of precious stones Of
various kinds. fashioned in such manner
rs 70 represent the various colors of pur-
pie. violet. green and red, so as to render
the appearance of real fruit. On the Sec
ond step, on each side of the throne, were
two lions of terrible aspect, large as life,
and formed Of cast gold.
The nature Of this remarkable throne
was such that, when Solomon Ilaced his
foo. on the FIRST step. the birds spread their
wings and made futtering noise in the
air. On his reaching the third step the
whole assemblage of demons, and fairies,
and men, repeated the praises of the Deity.
When he arrived at the fourth step voices
were heard addressing him in the follow
1 as IF bo l.
ful for the blessings which the Almighty
has bestowed upon u.s." The same was
repeated on his reaching the fifth STEP
On his reaching the sixth AL the children
of Israel joined them, and on his arrival
at the seventh, all the birds and animals
became in motion and ceased not until he
had placed himself on the royal seat, who.
the birds, lions and other animals, by Sc
cret springs, discharged shower Of the
most precious perfumes on Solomon, af-
ter which two of the karges descended and
placed the golden crown upon his head.
Before the throne was column of bur.
nished gold, on the top of which was q
golden dove, which held in its beak vol.
ume bound in silver. In this book were
written the Psalms Of David, and the dove
having presented the book to the King, he
read aloud a portion of it to the children
of Israel. 1t is further related that on the
approach Of evil persons to the throne, the
lions were wont to set up terrible roar,
and to lash their tails with violence, the
birds also, and demons and genii, to utter
horrid cries so for fear of them no one
dared he guilty of falsehood, but all con,
fessed their crimes. Such was the throne
Of Solomon, the son Of David.

General Engagement i'm the Streets
[tiT DIS Pr - of Rome. -at %. 70

A letter from Rome in the Paris Uniuers
gives an account of sanguinary quarrel
which took place in the piazza of Frascati
on the fete day of La Madonna del divine
Amore. Aniuhabitant of the neig boring
village of Grotta-Ferrata, on entering the
square, was Immediately recognized and
addressed by a Frascatan named Bruni,
who was on the spot with his two brothers,
in these words. sYon gave me a stab with
your knife last year, and now will give
you as good;n on which. he rushed in a
transport of fury on the other, who ,natur-
ally. endeavored to defend himself. This
scene took place in front of the principal
cafe of the town, where brigadier, two
Zouaves, and a sergeant-majoro of that arm,
named de Quelen; were taking refreshment
a captain of the Palatine guard, named
Filipani, was also present, the two latter in
plain clothes. These persons, in the inter-
est of public order, interfered to separate
tile combatants, but were in their turn as
sailed by Bruni's two brothers, when a saw
age engagement took place, which ended
in the death Of two persons, namely, Bruni
himself, shot by the sergeant in self de-
fense, and the man from Gratta- Ferrata
who had received six stabs in the breast
One OF the surviving Frascatans was ar
rested just as he was taking refuge in the
Cathedral, with the corpse of his brother
in his arms. Five more of the combatants
were badly wounded, and among them the
sergeant major, but his life is not consider
ed to be in danger. @ SO

Tragedy i'm !. Coal Mine.

1sIT The Journal de Liege says that the men
engaged in reopening and repairing the
works of the coal mine of Bow, Buveur, at
Jemeppe, after reaching depth of nearly
160 metres, have, at the end of four months,
come upon gallery communicating with
the lower ladders; there they discovered
seven bodies of the unfortunate workmen
who were there imprisoned while making
their way to the surface. The bodies are
completely mummffied, the shriveled Hesh
adhering to the bones. This phenomenon
is attribted to the abundanntl exhalations
of carbonic, acid gas. The bodies lay on
their backs, one after the other, the hands
being crossed under the head. Two were
found locked in close embrace. No salts
tory conclusion has as yet been arrived at
as to the cause of the death of these men,
whether from the inhalation of carbonic
acid or from want of food, being thus en-
tombed. The gallery was unsafe at the time
the discovery was made, but care is being
taken to ventilaie it, and to bear away the
bodies safely. The work of reparaJion is
yet likely to be tedious, for much injury
has been done, and the work requires TO be

riage ON Saturday Last. -
Somewhere III the neighborhood of year
ago, a young lady by the name of Catharine
Casey, while travelling on railroad in the
interior of the. State, met with an accident
in the vicinity of the village of Gordon,
which proved to be of such serious char
meter that amputatien became necessary
Upon her recovery she brought suitagainst
the company for damages, and pending that
suit she came to this city, and through the
intercessfon of friends, obtained a home in
the family of Mr.. Thomas Goldsworthy,
who resi1es on Kemper street, on Walnut
Hills, as a sort ofcompanion of Mrs. Colds
worthy.
- There is in the same family an inmate by
the name of Michael Taylor, who, about a
weekor ten days ago, missed from his room
the sum of $500; and the mystery OF the
affair was, it could be traced to no one, nor
did suspicion alight upon any one, and,
least of all, upon. Miss Casey, 1t has been
noticed, though, within the past few days,
that Miss Casey had made some purchases
of Cry goods, amounting to, between two
and three hundred dollars and when ques-
toned about them by the family, she re-
piled that she had received her money from
the railroad company, Slightly suspicious
that she was not telling the truth, they
made Inquiry, and found that Miss
Casey had received no money from the
| railroad company, nor from any
other source within their knowledge, which
they kept a secret from her. On Saturday
morning last she, being twenty-five years
of age, married a. young man by the name
OF 9Bayless, numbering only eighteen years;
but, in the meantime, the above facts were
communicated to Detective Frank Mitchell,
who yesterday arrested her on the charge
of grand larceny and conducted her to the
Ninth street Station house, her young hus-
band accompanying her. She was required
to give bond in $1,000 for her appearance

have no hesitation in saying, his conscient-

TRANsPLANTING FULL GROWN TREES
Thirty beautiful elms, their tops reaching
above the height of three stories, have been
transplanted in front of the site of Con-
gress Hall, at Saratoga, to take the place of
the trees destroyed by the fire. They were
taken from the forest with large ball of
earth around each, and the men who trans
planted them guaranteed that they would
live.r They are 10 full leaf, and the eXper-
iment appears to have been entirely sue
cessful. They must be twenty or thirty
years old, and their removal cost only $35
for each tree. At this rate men can easily
surround their dwellings with adornments
such as art cannot rival. The same thing
has been done in Scotland, and some of the
splendid trees that are the chief ornament
of the magnificent Bois de Bologne, at
Paris, were transplanted full grown, thus
anticipating the natural process of gen.

We denounce this new secret association

wants peace, and rest, and harmony, and
justice. These men want distracted coun-
try, that offices may be gained. They would
make America a Mexico, peace would be
