A SCULPToR's MoDEL.-The sculptor Gibson's
most beautiful model, GaraZia. was the frequent
subject of his conversation. Her sordd svarice,
her fierce chastity. her furious temper, were
studies to him; and the contrast which her moral
nature presented to her beauty, was graphically
described. He told me once, that, to pacify this
wild panther Of a woman, he had uttered the
only deliberate lie he was conscious of since his
mother. stern Puritan, had logged him, at three
years old, for uttering some falsehood about an
apple. An English lady, who had often heard Of
Garzia's marvellous beauty, asked permission TO
see her she was sitting for her bust TO Gibson.
The lady looked at her and said she was hand
some, but that her expression was bad. She
looks as If she had a vile temper" Garzia did
not understand the words, but she read from the
expression that it was something unfavorable.
She started up. Signor Giovanni, that woman
has insulted me, ] know. What did she say?
Tell her am Roman, and that she is a misera-
bic foreigner Tell me what she said, or will go
and never return" She said you were very

A Paris correspondent of London paper re-
lates the following incident: " Yesterday was q
lucky sfternoon for group of little, ragged
Italian boys, who persecute as on the boulevards
with their harps, violins and flutes. The poor
children had wandered to the other side of the
Tuileries, and were playing with one Of their DOR
mice on the asphalt pavement beneath the ter
rdsse of the gardens which overlook the Seine.
One of them perceived gentleman lean over the
balustrade and gave notice to his comrades. who
instantly tuned up their instruments and played
their best; they were right. The gentleman
listened til they had finished, and threw them a
piece Of gold. The scene attracted crowd, who
recognized the listener TO be the emperor.

REMARKABLE ANCIENT TEMPLG.-A CORE.
spOndent of a politico religious journal, pub.
lshed in New York. tells the following some
what astounding story: f" | am the discoverer Of
an immense cavern in the Palisades of the Hud.
son, fully one mile in length and at least half
mile wide, with vaulted roof higher than that Of
Trinity Church, supported by innumerable pillars,
which must have been erected by the hand of
man many centuries since, and furnished with in
Vulnerable side recesses, antechambers and long
winding passages OF the most wonderful construc
ton. Ruins of what have evidently been affairs,
erected thousands Of years ago, are abundant, to-
gether with the moldering bones Of beings Of
enormous stature, as belonging to a race OF
eisnts that formerly inhabited the earth. The
floors Of this remarkable cavern are as smooth
and hard as granite. though covered deep with
the dust of centuries. Here and there lower
deep is discernsbe through the alpervadng
gloom, with spacious stone steps leading thereto.
From these mysterious cavities the sound of rush
ing waters fall upon the ear, with other reverber
atoms of a strange. unearthly character The
cavern, II is manifest, is not like the Kentucky
cave, freak of nature, but, as already coIjec-
tured, the work Of man in some early period Of
the worlds history. Cabalistic signs cover the
bases of some of the pillars, while figures bearing
close resemblance to sphinxes, deaths heads
and mummies. as If of Egyptian design, adorn
various portions Of the walls ana roof.n The cor
respondent goes on TO tell the manner in which he
made the discovery Of this remarkable cavern.
AS long ago as last summer he was wandering
one day in a contemplative mood along the Pali-
sedes, when he espied two rabbits. Resigning
contemplation for the pleasing prospect of rabbit
pie, he started in pursuit, aud the chase led to
the mysterious wonder which he so glowingly de-
scribes above. Since that time he has made fire.
quent visits to the place, and still the wonders
grow. Why he has so long kept this remarkable
discovery profound secret. or what use he con-
templates making Of the cavern, he does not in
form Us.

his belt, leveled it at Edmondson and fired. The
ball passed through the tieshy part of Edmond

named Allen Davis, who was peering in at the
door from the pavement, striking the poor fellow
In the forehead and ranging downward. He stag

groan.
As soon as the shot was fired, Edmondson
hercely sprang at Wright seizing him with one
hand, while with the other he commenced stab

frightful gashes which may prove serious. Wright
became quite faint from the loss Of blood, and
was unable to discharge his weapon again.
The report Of the pistol brought large crowd
to the spot, among them policemen, who arrested
and committed both Edmondson and Wright to
the Second District station-house.

The CHERoKEE LAND SwNDLE.-The Herald's
Washington dispatch contains the following !:
SOC, ,OO0 acres Of land in Southern Kansas were
decided many years ago to the Cherokee Indians
by the government in return for half million of
dollars in gold. held in trust by the government
for the Cherokees. The land, being apparently
unoccupied and unclaimed, was taken possession
of by settlers and pre.empted, fifty thousand
farmers being now settled on the land, under the
homestead law. The Indians in 1866 demanded
the value of their land and, it is alleged. by some
maDeuveriDg Of Mr.. Harlan, then secretary Of the
interior, it was bought by spectators, aud thus
the settlers, who could have paid more than the
spectators, are in fair way to be ousted or
swindled. This peculiar arrangement was origin
slly fixed up in secret session of the Senate, the
House having no knowledge whatever OF it."
