The Chair could not hear Barber and the

him take his scat ;'-advancing toward
Mason and picking up book aud brand
ishing it over his head. At this point the
Speaker succeeded in restoring order.

NJ, for cruise to the Cape aud the Van
'couver shore. Arrived at Neah Bay on
Saturday morning remained at anchor
Saturday and Saturday night on account
of rain and thick weather. On Sunday
proceeded to San Juan harbor to make
inquiries concerning a steamer reported
ashore on Barclay Sound. From iuforma-
tion obtained it seems the report grew out
of the supposed loss of the Earxaa, which
left the Sound few weeks ago for the
Columbia river. On the same day returned
to Noah Bay; had heavy 8. f. wind. with
rain, during tho day. At 6p. NJ, wind
hauled to s. W., and blew a gale, causing
the vessel to roll heavily. At l o'clock P.

on the fractional block at the intersection
of Fourth and A streets fell with a terri

immediate cause Of the fall was gust of

remote cause was the frailty Of the struct-

TIE New Orleans Picay1lne's local
editor relates the following touching
incident: In the Police Court an old
veteran vagrant was arraigned for sleep
ing in the square. He had frequently
been found before in the same condi-
ton, and remonstrances seemed to have
no effect in inducing him to abandon
the practice. The Court, therefore, de-
termined to deal rigidly with him, and
to this end inquired why he persisted
in this course2
because I have nowhere else to
sleep"

BEETHOVEN.

William W. Story, the sculptor, wrote, in 1856, q
prologue for the Inauguration of the Beethoven
statue in the Boston Music Hall, which has been
published in recent number of Dwight's journal
of Music. The following is the opening stanza j
Lift the veil the work is finished; fresh created
from the hands
Of the artist-grand and simple there great Bee
thoyen stands.
Clay longer-he has risen from the buried mould
of earth,
To golden form TRANSPORTED by new and glorious
birth.
Art hath bid the evaneseent pause and know No
more decay;
Made the mortal shape immortal, that to dust has
passed away
There's the brow by thought o'erladen, with its tenn
pest of wild hair;
There the mouth stern1y silent, and the square
checks scanned with care
There the eyes visionary, straining out, yet see
ing naught
But the inward world of genius and the ideal forms
of thought:
There the hand which gave its magic to the cold,
dead, ivory keys,
And from out them tore the struggling chords of
mighty symphonies;
There the figure, calm, concentered, on its breast
the great bent head;
Stand forever thus, great master thou thy fttest
monument.
