Mysteries of the Microscope.

"NoT that there is any especial hidden
mystery in the innocent-looking, modest
little instrument that presents objects to
US as they really are, monsters out Of mere
mites, and as often presenting most mag
nificent animals in what, to the unaided
eye, appears an uncouth atom. The mys-
terry is of the microscope. Its power, to our
intelligence, as at present educated, is un.
Ineligible, and would be magical, but that
we know the microscope to be innocent OF
the black art, and the maker only man
like ourselves-a tritle more clever, per-
haps, but not a mite of a magician. Sc
much of thought is invoked by the advent
Of a red mite upon the edge of the white
sheet now under the point ofmy pen, and
the ruby dot-a mere point to the naked
eye-hurrying over the white field, per
feet crimson streak. If a man were to run
at that rate, according to bulk, he would
get over the ground about thousand
miles an hour, and race entirely round the
world in day and night, with three hours
left for refreshment.
"Arresting the atomic red runaway,
and clapping him under my microscope,
in an instant / had under my eye won
der-a bright crimson bird, wingless, like
the Penguin, but perfect in proportions,
and of most exquisite beauty its downy
plumage brilliantly bright; its six perfect
bird-legs, three set on either side. I saw
there the secret of the rapid race Fancy
turkey gobbler with six legs, each one
putting in its quota of speed! Wouldn't
the old fellow outrun hurricane? Then
there are five white delicate toes, more
like fair lady's fingers, to each foot
black, lustrous eyes; and beak like that
of the great war eagle all harmonious ;
but strange-very wonderful ysterious
the manner in which that single bit of
clear glass metamorphoses the tiny red
mite into great magnificent bird There,
go out with you and go your way, dimin-
ished to a red atom, almost infinitessimal
againl Scud-scatter, crimson speck, and
leave me to my say of my magnificent
miracle"

CAMPAIGN SONG.

IN ext rebel - writes the following Grant cam
ign song for the Atlanta (Ga.) Era:
AIR-Bonnie Blue Flag.
Old Maine to California sends
The welcome, welcome word,
And Northward rolling to the South
The swelling cry is heard.
And men of every age and race
Have caught the glorious shout,
Hurrah hurrah, for General Grant,
And fling his banner out.
Hurrah hurrah,
For General Grant, hurrah
Hurrah for the Union Flag
With every Southern Star.
The wave of Reconstruction rolls
From Old Virginia S hills,
Across the South to Texas plains,
And every bosom thrills:
When this is done, we'll join the fight,
And it is our intent
To hoist the name of General Grant
And make him President.
Hurrah hurrah, etc.
Wen swear upon the sword of Lee,
Beside our Jackson's grave,
To battle only for the man
Who can the Union save.
By all the blood the war has shed,
By all we hope to be,
Wen rally to the standard now
That keeps the people free.
Hurrah hurrah, etc.
They re rallying North, and East, and West
Wen rally in the South,
With ringing shouts for General Grant,
Upon each patriot mouth.
Hurrah for Grant the shouts must roll
From every Union lip.
And every man must rally now
TO man the Union ship.
Hurrah hurrah, etc.

New Instructor.

The Pulaski Brass band have secured
the services of Prof. Bailey as instructor,
who has already arrived and entered upon
the discharge of his duties. Prof. Bailey
is one of the best band teachers in the
country and thorough musician generally,
and under his direction our band will soon
rank among the best in the country. He
has had long experience as leader of or
chestras, and it is the intention of some of
our young men to organize under his in

the Constitution comedies in expTese words,
that the States shall regulate suffrage for
themselves? Do We want more decisions
of the Supreme Court on these points?-
The truth is that the Radicals are the real
revolutionists, and have subverted the fun
damental principles of our Government,
and converted it into a mean and malignant
oligarchy, sure to lapse into a military des-
Fotism.
To restore the Government and the great
guarantees of freedom, contained in the
Constitution, and inherited from our ances-
tors, is revolution To execute the will
of the people, whom the fragmentary Rump
Cogress has put at defiance, is "revOlu-
ton" To carry out the decisions of the
Supreme Court is revolution This re-
vOlution is at hand. The peoples will, the
judgment Of the court of the highest juris-
diction, will be enforced against a usurp-
ing Congress.

THE HEADLEss ROOSTER.
The Proprietor of the Exhibition Arrest
ed on the Charge of Cruelty to Animals


From the New York Herald, 18th.
Since the Legislature enacted the just
and excellent law providing for the punish
ment of those who are callous to the suffer-
ing of dumb creatures, no arrest among the
many hundreds that have been made since
it went into force approaches in prominence
pr displays the occasional diabolical cruelty
Il some men to the brute creation than one
effected yesterday afternoon by officer Lay
craft, of the Jefferson Market Police Court.
1t is no less than the apprehension of the
party alleged to be the proprietor of that
highly sensational show of ''The Headless
Rooster" The charge against this person
is that on the 10Th day of July last, at No
512 Broad way, Henry Richardson yilfully
and maliciously violated the law against
cruelty to animals by cutting the bill or
beak Of common domestic fowl known as
a rooster, piercing out its eyes, thus totally
destroying its sight, and further by taking
a portion of the fowls brain out and pull
ing off the feathers from its head and neck,
and opening the skin and drawing the same
down in such position as to make the fowl
appear to be without head, and thus ex-
hibited it to the public, pretending it to be
one of natures vagaries. 1t was further
complained that such cruel operations
caused the fowl great pain and torture,
which it exhibited by struggles for more
than an hour after its performance. It was
also alleged that Richardson has been in the
habit Of thus cruelty treating fowls for some
time past, in order that they may be pub
licly exhibited for his personal gain. In
this condition the rooster which he has
shown to the public on Broad way-his
place being conspicuously marked by a
large placsrd have lived from one week
to two mon tbs, when they languish and
die. Richardson's arrest was effected at
the instance of Mr.. William Wilcox, of
Prince street, who complained Of him on
the 5th of September last, but from his
migratory habits he was not arrested until
yesterday, when, being brought before JUS
tice Dodge, he was committed to answer
in default of bail.

YOU DID NOT COME.

The sun was gliding down the western sky,
he hours of day had almost reached their sum ;
Who kept the trist that was appointed? i
You did not come
sat and watched the evenings closing ray;
The sunset woods were desolate and dumb;
I waited till the last faint streak of day,
You did not come!
Twas but to give me back flower or two
a ring-ny letters, foolish, doubtless-some
Mere trihes Yet, I thought not so; and you
You did not come
The moonlight rose and spread its silvery food;
I heard the death-moth round the nightshade
hum;
4 chilly 1oneness froze my fevere6 blood
You did not come!
Twas at the call Of war that forth you went,
With blare Of trumpet, and with beat of drum
You parting passed without a farewell sent
You did not cOmel
One word upon a scrap of paper writ
Of pitying comfort but single crumb;
1t was not much-yOu might have spared me it
You did not come
And so until She end of al arrives,
Iwander far apart-Iny heart is numb.
Severed for aye the course of our lives
You did not come!
Life cannot be what It has been before
The hours of joy have reached, alas their sum
The tryst you kept not return no more
You cannot come

Remember This.

Merchants who advertise always sell
goods cheapest. Those who advertise sell
more goods, and by getting a small profit
can afford to sell at a much less advance.
Dealers who advertise draw much Of their
trade from a distance-thus increasing the
business of the place-and are entitled to
the patronage of every person inters ssted 10
the growth of the town. Recollect these
things when you buy.

The following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted al a convention Of Ameri-
can citizens Of African extraction, held 10 a
certain city of the South, setting as a com
mittee of the Whole on the state Of the
country. Much more good will result from
the adoption Of such resolutions than from
the harraugues Of the white scalawags who
pirate about their loyalty and assemble the
negroes at night in dark corners and dose
them with the villainous lie that Democrats
seek to re-enslave them. The resolutions
were reported by Julius Ceasar Augustus
