ing till he got breathl, I've run like a
fireman; out here are some big boys
stoning the little birds; give me some
picayunes to buy them to 60 away"-and,
nicels in hand, he disappeared to return
soon in great delight, for he had paid the
boys to leave the little birds alone, and to
promise him they would never do so any
more, which he accepted, poor innocent
as if it had come from the heart OF
purity itself, instead of those wicked boy
hearts. And, O, the pretty birds, in the

happy, not for it's splendor or abaun-

Therefore, you young kidnappers,
change yourselves into good boys, for
which, while so young, you need not go
out of your skins and it may be, that at
some future day you will be grand men,
and possibly become an Administrator,

Xari6a,s Poems.

We have before us neatly printed little
volume from the press of j. b. Lippincott u
Co., of Philadelphia, containing the ex-
quisite poems of the well known Southern
poetess Xariffa. The fair author is a resi-
dent of this city, and her contributions, as
they have appeared from time to time, have
been highly esteemed for their purity Of
diction, vividness of imagery, and origin
atty of thought. As a laborer in the fields
or gardens of poesy, Xariffa will rank with
Mrs. Hemans, who has frequently been held
up as the model of feminine pOetical writer's,
Every poem forms a subject for picture,
which, however, would scarcely give more
forcible illustration Of the conception
of the writer than the perspicuous word
painting of Xariffa does in all her
works. Highly interesting, without the
least tinge of the sensational; absorbing
without being passionate, her poems will be
read and admired by the intellectual for
many years to come. For, we take it, it is
the inherent worth of a book, not the ex-
traneous seasoning, which commends it to
the favor of the judicious reader, and pro-
longs its existence as the work of a Giving
author The latter term may apply to one
who has toiled to edify and instruct man
kind long after the restless spirit that for a
season took up its abode in frail clay here on
earth has fed to that heavenly world, Of
which it seemed to be a part while here.
For lessons of charity, love, religion, for
graceful thoughts and pure diction, and all
that ennobles the mind, we commend the
poems of Xarifa. And especially should
the children of the rising generation be
made familiar with her works, they will be
all the better for the knowledge. The book
is for sale by Gresham, No 90 Camp street.

THE BIRD ORDINANCE,

Only the auaintness and tenderness Of
Charles Lamb could weave adequate
pen offerings to the author Of the happy
device of enshrining our little urban
songsters under the @gis of the common
wealth. Sing, birdie, sing with all your
melody and power, the gentle praises Of
Administrator Bmley! who has not been
afraid to carry his heart with him into the
discharge of his public duties, nor
ashamed of the little weakness of applying
a ''solemn expression Of the public will I"
to the felicitation of the joyous jewellers Of
our groves-man's exquisite little COM
panions that people his better moments
with innocent joys, winged as his hopes
are winged, and cleaving as his fancies do
the azure over and around him. If we
were some Robert Bloomfield, we would
try and out-sing the frail beauties Of the
groves and gardens, making congratulatory
odes in celebration of an act SO manly and
womanly, and manifestation so lovely.
Naughty boys! you will not be permitted
longer to steal young birds, like the base
kidnapper of the lost little Digby jewel,
but are there none among you to whom
the moral excellence Of this act of public
| administration may be made of more
worth than the whole nests of them, or
| than scores of bereaved mama birds, so
many of whom you have already brought
to grief? Measure in your nlischievous
minds the sweetness springing from this
| simple, good act of Mr.. Finley, andgo We
and do likewise. Boys of heart are the
treasures of society, not smart boys Be-
lieve us that nothing is Jess cherished in
the domain of human love than smart
bad boy-unless, indeed, worse boy that
| is not smart. And, lads be good, which
is the only bravery gentle, which is the
whole of handsome; just, which is the
crown of humanity. The other day we
enjoyed post prandial Chinese fan at the
cottage of friend, casketed within walls
of running vines and flowers, and over
hanging trees-a friend full of goodness,
like Mr.. Administrator Emley, and of
| poetry like Robert Bloomfield, and whose
| fairest flowers are half-a-dozen individ-
ualized gems of purest ray serene; when
one Of these last, bright faced urchin,
| Of eight seasons, ran in, out Of breath,

nient.

The Santa Fe Post says that the excite
ment about the new silver mines remains as
intense as ever Parties are hauling lumber
for building purposes a distance Of seventy
five miles, All who have been there are of
the opinion that they are as rich as any sill
YER mines in the world. Ore from several of
the lodes has been sent to San Francisco and
Philadelphia, and assays from five hundred
to eight thousand dollars per ton. Governor
Stafford, of Arizona, and several scientific
men from California are at the mines now,
and there seems to be no doubt of the cree
ton of smelling works as soon as machinery
can be brought from San Francisco.
In confirmation of the above we copy the
following dispatch:
SANTA FE, July "A letter to the Daily
Post from Grant county, N. NJ, near Silver
Mines, describes the location of the mines
as 5000 feet above the level of the sea.
There is u population at RalstOn, the new

five miles to the nearest river. Two hun

covered, and over fifty miles of claims are
located. Many of the claims not being
made in conformity with territorial laws,
are being thrown out, but are relocated
about as fast as open.
A municipal government has been formed
and a recorder elected. There is no doubt
of the immense wealth Of q great many of

ON CARONDELET STREET.

Some OF our 1rlenQS were q uttIe re-
ticent about prices yesterday, but trans
actions enough were reported to show
further decline in Slaughterhouse. Some
one or two holders are evidently unload
ing under pressure, and until they are
relieved the market must feel the in
fuence of their sales There is not much
active capital on the street at this point Of
the hot season, and in the absence of a
live bull interest the unloading process
tells unfavorably upon the current value
of the stock. At almost any other time
of the year depression could not be
caused by a movement of so slight a
character.
There is nothing new in the position Of
the company. 1t is making money, and
has very favorable chance to continue SO
to do for many months at least but the
friends of the stock are not fighting to
maintain it at a high price, as they were
not long ago, and a good many parties
have suffered in consequence. Of the
sales for yesterday, some were reported as
made at as low figure as S1S SO, and
some stock sold at $40. At the close of
the day it stood at from $40 to $40 so.
In Ship Island nothing was reported,
and opinions ranging widely, were given
as to its present value. Something must
be done of decidedly favorable charac-
ter, in order to excite an interest in this
stock. The public expects something inn
portant from the new direction, and it
will doubtless be forthcoming soon. The
sooner the better for stockholders, if it is
to offer any new hope Of giving value to
the certificates.
