An Oriental Might.


: Itisimpossible for those who have never
visited the glowing East to form an ade-
quate idea of the exceeding beauty of an
Oriental night. The sky-which bends
enamored over clusters of graceful palm
trees ringing some slow wmovingstream,
or groves OF dark motionless expresses
rising up like Gothic spires from the
midst of white, f1at-roofed villages-is of
the deepest, darkest purple, unstained
by the faintest film of vapor, undimmed
by single .fleecy cloud. 1t is the very
image ofpurity and peace, idealizing the
dull earth with its beauty, elevating sense
into the sphere of soul, and suggesting
thoughts and yearnings too tender and
ethereal to be invested in human Ian
guage. Through its transparent depths
| the eye wanders dreamily upward until
| 1t loses itself on the Threshold of other
worlds. Over the dark mountain ranges
| the lonely moon walks in brightness,
| clothing the landscape with the pale
glories of mimic day; while the zodia-
cal, far more distinct and vivid than it is
| ever seen IN this country, diffuses mild
| pyramidal radiance above the horizon,
! like the after glow Of sunset. Constel-
lations tremulous with excess of bright
ness sparkle in the heavens, associated
with classical myths and legends which
are mental inheritance to every educa-
ted man from his earliest years. There
the ship Arago sails over the tackeless
upper ocean in search of the golden fleece
of Colchis; there Perseus, returning from
the conquest of the Gorgons, holds in
his hands the terrible head of Medusa
there the virgin Andromeda, chained
naked to the rock, awaits in agony the
approach of the devuring monster; there
the luxuriant yellow hair of Berenict
hangs suspended as votive offering tC
Venus; while the dim, misty track
formed by the milk that dropped from
Juno's breast, and which, as it fell upor
the earth, changed the lillies'from purple
to snowy whiteness, extends across th'
heavens like the ghost of n rainbow
Conspicuous among them all, far up to
ward the zenith, old Orion, with his blaz
ing belt, meets the admiring eye, sug
gestive of gentle memories and kim
THOUGHTS of home; while immediatcl.
beyond it is seen the familiar cluster q
the pleiades, or seven Stars, glitterin
and quivering with radiance in th
amethystre ether, like a breastplate q
iewels--the Urim and Thummim of til
Eternal. Hugh Macmillan's Bibl

HowLopea wns Killed.

The following letter describes the as
sassination of Lopez, who betrayed Max
imilian; t 49,,
Lopez was stopping at q hotelin Puebla,
where his wife spurned him from her
presence. Early one morning Mexican
arrived, and familiarized himself with a
hostler in livery stable adjoining the
hotel. General Miguel Lopez was in
uuired for, but not being in, the stranger
was told that the General would be In at
dinner, Before the dinner hour Lopez
returned, and was pointed out to the
Stranger, who made special note of his
man. When dinner was called, Lopez
and his assassin occupied opposite seats
Mt the table. Aftersome minutes, during
which time the stranger called for and
drank glass of wine, he deliberately
rose, drew concealed knife, and sprang
upon Lopez and stabbed him nine times
The stranger then took his hat, and, O:
he started to leave, said: "This is The
way all traitors should be paid" No ont
interiered, or prevented the assassin IRON
leaving. Thus was the blood OF MAXI
milan, Miramon, Mejia, yes, and thous
ands of others, avenged.

The majority for Brownlow reaches

turns are all in, 20 exceed even 10000
And yet II is believed that 10000 loyal

There Is no doubt that's some honest Union
men in Tennessee are opposed 10 Brown

II is equally certain that, in spite of his

Company This Company was organized in
1851 when n large md substantial Brick manu-
factory was erected at the foot OF Mound Street,
just across the canal bridge. The capital stock
was ut first S2O,0OO. 1t has been gradually in
creased, and Is at present $4,000.
=, For the last five or SIX years the Manufacturing
Company has been, as IL is now, In fiourishing
and prosperous condition. Its business has been
extended; its facilities enlarged its credit
goods are in constant demand and meet with
ready sale. For this prosperous and increased
business in the Mandatory the Company and
Esd, the Secretary and Treasurer of the Com
pany, who having had the general oversight OF
its affairs, has managed them with singular
fidelity, prudence and sagacity.' - ~ N
To give some idea of the amount of business
done in the Manufactory, IT uses up annually
about 10000 pounds, of raw wool, and makes
10000 yards of cloth annually. The goods manu-
featured are purely of wool, and consist prin-
cipally of plain and fancy cassimeres, doeshins,
satinets, plainand plaid tiannels, blankets and
stocking yarns. These are sold at wholesale or
retail ut the office in the Mandatory.
There are in the Manufactory sets of ma
ncIy The spnnbes aao on ~
is fifty-siX, about one-half of whom are females.
The wool used is principally procured in Ohio,
some Is brought from Indiana, but none from
theEast. The enterprise is, in all respects strict
ly aWestern one. l.u.i
AS such, and especially as a home enterprise,
while the qualities of its goods are superior for
wear and durability to those manufactured In
the East, for this conclusive reason-that they
are wholly free from cotton or shoddy. So
/ thought and so judged the committee on manu-
! featured wooden goods at the recent State Fair,
! for they awarded seven out of the nine premi-
/ ums offered on such goods to the Columbus
/ Woolen Manufacturing Company.

An exciting scene took place yesterday
at Mander's Menagerie, at Tunbndge
Wells. A case containing seven rattle
snakes was, by oversight, left open ana
one of them escaped A panic seized the
men cmployed, and with the greatest
difficulty an elderly man named Godfrey
prevailed on some of them to endeavor
TO recapture the reptile. Aiming them
selves with shovels, forks, scrapers'
brooms, &c., the keepers, under the dlrec-
ton of Godfrey, proceeded toward the
snake. The reptile, during these pre-
parutons, remained perfectly quiet, put

The reptile then let so its grip, and sllak
