COTTON.
In New York cotton was stationary and
dull; here there was no change to note in
prices, but a decided change in feeling.
The market was weak, there was little in
quiry, and of consequence fewer sales were
effected.
The firm of Burgess & Co. had planked
down to them yesterday a check for the
round little sum of s. l,S72, in payment for
429 bales of cotton sold by them within the
past few days.

A DEATH BID INTERVIEW BIZ
TELEGRAPH

Inc Australian overland telegraph
extends for 1900 miles across the
great wastes of Australia, from AIDE.
laide on the South to Port Darwin on
the North. The stations are few and
far apart, and the line is consequently
greatly exposed to attacks from the
natives, who pull the wire down, and
cut away great quantities of it for the
purpose of arming the points of their
spears. They also smash the porce-
lame insulators anduse thesharp edged
pieces to scrape their spear blades into
shape. Each station is a small fort in
itself, at which six men reside.
Barrow creek is 1,200 miles from
Adelaide and 700 miles from Port Oar
win, while it is in the midst Of a dis
trict thickly peopled with blacks. On
the evening Of Sunday, Feb p, all the
men of this station were lying out of
doors smoking, when they were sud
denly attacked from the eastern corner
of the building by large body Of ma
tiyes, who speared Mr. Stapleton, the
master. As the Englishmen had left
their arms inside, they made rush for
the entrance, but they were driven
back by a shower of spears, which
wounded two of them. Finding their
retreat cut off, they ran around the
building IN the hope that the natives
would follow them, and SO be drawn
away from the doorway. Happily for
them the natives gave chase; and
thus, when the poor fellows came
round again to the front of the house,
they found the door unguarded. One,
however, was fatally wounded as he
ran. They at once seized their rifles,
and soon drove the natives off. They
then telegraphed to Adelaide news of
what had happened, and DIR. Gosse.
one of the Adelaide surgeons, did all
that a surgeon can do by prescription
and advice for patients who are 1.20O
miles away. Poor Mr.. Stapleton was
beyond cure. but he and his wife, who
was living at Adelaide, l,200 miles
away, were able to exchange a few
parting words. DIR. Gosse had to
insist that the wounded men should
be kept awake all night, for fear
their flesh might have been poisoned
by the spears. Three days later Mr..
Flint, the wounded operator, sent the
following message: "At one P. NJ ma
tives attempted to surround station.
Three shots fired, killing one native.
Fires all round station. Expect another
attack. Strict guard kept. Please
hurry relief" Happily relief was near
at hand, for FIVE teamsters and their
superintendent were within few hours
of Barrow's Creek. Moreover Mr..
Tucker, the station master at another
creek, who had been travelling south
ward along the line, yesterday attached
his pocket instrument to the wire at
Dixon's Greek, and spoke Mr.. Todd,
the superintendent at Adelaide" Mr..
Tucker and the five men who were with
him were ordered to proceed with all
despatch to Barrow's Greek, where they
relieved the little garrison.

PARENTS OF THEODORE
PARKER.

Rev. o. B. rockingham gives the
the following portraits of the pa
rents of Theodore Parker: This
man was born in Lexington, and
his ancestors had "the fighting
blood in them," having been in
French and Indian war, as also at
Concord and Bunker Hill. From
the account of his parents we can
see little how he grew to be the
man he wsA His father "was .
quiet, thoughtful, reading man, Of
strong sense Of moral worth, relia-
bic, honorable, worked evere day
and all days; taught his children to
speak the truth; always had book
in his hand in the evening; books
Of history, biography, and travel en-
gagged him, - also speculative phil
osophy, not physical and moral; he
was also fond of Nature, an observer
Of plants and flowers" Theodore
was all this and more, for he had .
mother, q hansome woman, Of falight
form, Aaxen hair, blue eyes, and q
singularly delicate complexion,
more nervous than muscular. She
lived more on her feeling and i'm
agination; her temperament was
poetical; her favorite reading was
the Bible and hymn book, and bal
lad poetry gave her great delight;
and her mind was stored wirh pas
sages Of beauty from English lit
erature. = = In the moral
culture Of her children she took
great interest, which she expressed
in wise counsal and sympathy, as
occasion come up.

its close, when on q dark, stormy
night, the howling and barking o1
the numerous dogs in the streets oi
New Orleans were observed to be
6ercer than usual, and some of that
class Of individuals who pretend to
know everything, declared that, by
the vivid flashes Of the lightning,
they had seen, swiftly and stealthily
gliding towards the residence of the
unknown, a body of men who wore
the scowling appearance Of male
factors and ministers of blood.
There afterward came also a report,
that a piratical looking Turkish
vessel had been lowering, q few
days previous, in the bay of Bara-
taria. Be it as it may, on the next
morning the house of the stranger
was deserted. There were no
traces of mortal struggle to be
seen; but in the garden, the earth
had been dug, and there was the
unmistakable indication of q recent
grave. Soon, however, all doubts
were removed by the finding of an
inscription in Arabic characters, en-
graved on marble tablet, which
was subsequently sent to France.
1t ran thus: "The justice of heaven
is satisfied, and the date-tree shall
grow on the traitors tomb. The
sublime Emperor Of the faithful, the
supporter Of the faith, the omnip-
otent master and Sultan Of the
world, has redeemed his VOW. God
is great, and Mohammed is his pro-
phet. Allah" Some time after, this
event, a foreign looking tree was
seen to peep out of The sport where
a corpse must have been deposited
in that stormy night, when the rage
Of the elements yielded to the pitt
less fury Of man, and it thus ex-
planned in some degree this part of
the inscription, "the date-tree shall
grow on the traitors grave
''Who was he, or what had he
done, who had provoked such re-
lentless and far-seeking revengo?
Ask Nemesis, or-at that hour
when evil spirits are allowed to
roam over the earth, and magical
invocations are made-go, and
interrogate the tree efthe dead!"

ALHARA'S GRAVE.

Loud walls the storm-the vivid fash,
Of lightning with its thunder crash,
Scarce cleaves the outer surface fold
Ofmantling gloom, The mock-bird, bold,
Is crouched within the orange grove,
All voiceless as wounded dove,
The owl screams from her hollow-tree,- -
The kenneled hound howls mornfully!
Still wilder whirls the eddying blast,-
Still faster sweeps the storm-cloud past, -
And wilder grows the maiden's prayer.
"Daria save us !! spare us spare!"
But, louder than the maiden's prayer,
Outbursting on that midnight air,
'Twixt thunder roll and lightning glare,
Comes one long shrek Of Wild despair;
And silence settles on the scene.
The moon comes out with silver sheen.
The 1nock-bird tunes his loving lay.
The storm rolls northwa1d far awayl
Anon, the golden sun appears,-
The flowers cease to drop their tears;
The maiden once again grows bold.
As DER and o'er, her beads are told.
And nature, in her robes Of green,
Is smiling with smile serene,-
But oh! the grove, the orange-grove,-
Where once were heard the songs Of love,
The tread of armed men is found!
A dagger hilt lies on the ground;
The branches droop above mound;
"Allah is Allah-doom is doom I"
THE Date shall shade . Traito1s tomb "
The weekly Louisianian., 1874-05-23
And tread of armed men; until
The Legends web began to fill,
With foIm and fashion-thus it ran
The story Of that muydezed man.

I
In Eastsm LAND, amid the shade.
OF linden trees and tamazind boughs;
Alhaza wooed and won maid,
And gave her troth and pAehted vows.
Young Zara's arms were winding round
His neck, with timid half embncs;
Her raven t1esses, half unbosnd,
With shadows yelled her glowing face.
Twas thus they wooed, 'twas thus tn
gave,
Each INTO each, that priceless boon,
Requited love-not passions slave;
And parting hours came all too soon.
But Caitif Ormed, rose between
Their present bliss and future Joy;
And charged, Alhara once had been
In traitor service and employ.
She, to misfortune's rude embrace,-
He, doomed to fight from nntve land,
Loves image Time will not eff,ce,
Nor distance part ito silken strand.
France took tho exile to her arms;
And when the tyrant's bafled rage,
All unappeared by Zara's charms,
Alhara claimed by treatys gage,
In ship Of war, to Acadie,
Beside the Crescent Rivers sweep,
Conveyed him willng-there to be,
Free to forget, or free to weep.
And there, amid the orange grove,
Alhara sang Of Zaza's truth;
With sighs, to think that all of love,
Should feel blight with early youth.
Not often seen, but often heard,
BY passers, passing to and fro;
Until the village maids revered
The stranger and his hidden woe.
So sped his days, until that night
Of storm and elemental strife;
Whose early dawn and golden light
Betrayed his grave and murdered life!
The mgged Date still rears it's head;-
The orange grove has disappeared;
And nothing now recalls the dead,
Save this wild Legend, still revered.
With. here and there, q gossip TILE
OF Ormed, and his armed band:
Who landed from a foreign sail,
Upon Acodie's peaceful land.
And on that night, that fatal night,
Sought vengeance for a fancied wrong,
In murder hid from mortal sight.
50 ends the Legend, and the song.
Recalling, with this parting line,
One fact, round which romance will twine
That strange device ON dagger hilt,
In letters Of Arabic gilt,
Allah is Allah doom is doom!"
The Date shall shade Traitor's tomb J.,

WOMANLY DIGNITY. :

WOMANLY DIGNITY. -.
tFrom the London SATURDAY. Review.l
! Nature, which has given weapons
Of assault or means of defence to
almost all living creatures, has
made men audacious, and has en-
dowed woman with dignity. And
dignity has the best Of it. In fact,
womanly dignity may be accepted
as one among many explanations Of
that legendary power which turned
the b1avest man to stone, and made
the might OF the strongest like water
in their bones. What can any one.
do against it? As well try to pene-
trate the armadillo's coat of mail by
o needle, or make a hole in q paohy-
derm by popgnn, as fire a woman
to passion or melt he1 to pity when
she has once intrenched herself in
the stronghold Of her dignity. No
argument can shake her, NO reason
ing convince her; despair dies away
to querulousness, and the pleadings
Of love itself fall dull and blunted
from her stately self-posseseion like
so many toy shafts hurled against a
polished and impenetrahe snrfaos.
Indeed, how can you rage In
anger, or abuse yourself in entreaty
to a creature who is iceily polite.
loftily unmoved not to be
goaded into tho smallest demonstra-
ton which would Pot her
in wrong and give you q
vantage-point against her, and
whose calm eyes look at you with
q kind of superior scorn which,
while it maddens you, offers NO
point of attack? What can you do?
Simply nothing. The means of
defence which nature has giveu are
unassailable, and q digni6ed woman
is mistress Of the situation by tho
very power of negaion, if by none
other. But there are various kinds
of dignity, and if some are more
exasperating than others, some are
verv lovely and among the greatest
charms of womanhood. There is
in particular that soft dignity which
belongs to women who are aftsc-
tomato by nature and timid by
temperament, but who have q
reserve Of self-respect that defends
them against themselves as we'll as
against others. .,,o.
The TACT is useful az womanly
dignity is as womanly possession,
it can be carrie d - excess, and from
a virtue become = vice. So, long
as it is an hone.t defence-work
against the rough assaults of
superior strength, it is both. good
and fair; but, when it assumes to be
more than this, it becomes an exag-
geration. and as such, ridiculous.
There is no law by which women
can be exempt from a share in the
troubles and sorrows of human life;
and even their dignity cannot
always protect them from things
that override all but nature. Still
It is a valuable possession, and
women had better have too much
Of it than too little; for, although
TOO much renders them absurd, too
little makes them contemplate,
and between the two there il no
doubt as to which is worst.
