Negro Colonization Scheme.

The Washington negro colonization

The following interesting particulars,

paper, seem to be authoritative: cit is
proposed to establish at once colonial
ton society for the purpose of organic
ing parties for emigration to the rich
bottom lands on the Colorado river, in
the territory of Arizo. a. The object
of these parties has been, and still is to
thoroughly investigate and point out
and assist their people to a country
wherein the climate is good and condu-
Give to health and longevity, and also
VIII rein industrial pursuits can and will
thrive. This movement has now as
sumed shape, and is expected to meet
with hearty indorsment and sure sue

and anothrr 100 families when the or
ganization is ready to receive them"

The Altar for the. New York Cath {
draI.

A correspondent of the Boston Daily
Advertiser, writing from Rome, says /:
81 saw a few days ago the altar which
is under the marble-worker's hands,
and which is to be placed when finished
in the New York Cathedral. It is italian
Gothic, and will be dazzling collec-
ton of the most precious marbles.
There are small triple columns of por
phyry aud verd antique; other little col
umns and exquisite malachite; white
marble screens diapered IN precious
porphyry, verd- antique, oriental alabas-
ter, malachite, gallo antico, lapsis-
lazuli, etc. Six little white marble
statues of the Apostles, Matthew, Mark,
Luke, John, Peter and Paul, stand
between beautiful columns Of
glittering malachite. The tabernacle is
incrusted with precious marbles,
The bas-reliefs on the altar front are in
white marble; the agony in the Gar
den,' the Bearing Of the Cross, on
either side, and the Last Supper in
the centre. It was superb work. It's
only fault is the quantity of detail. It
lacks unity, it has no effect as whole,
and am afraid it's wonderful exquisite
workmanship viii be lost in a large
cathedral. Still tits not yet completed.
[ saw it only in parts, therefore my
Judgment or criticism is premature.
When seen close at hand it must, how
ever. be admired. It is fine enough to
put under glass; rich i'll color, precious
in material, aud most delicate in execu-

Barbara FreItchie.

Mr.. Whittier says all the recent at
tempts made to invalidate the story of
Barbara Freitchie, as related in his
poem, come from dissatisfied persons
to whom remembrance of the occur
renee is distasteful. He declares his
belief in the verify of the act to be as
perfect and mistaken as on the day in
which he first formed it. His faith in
the story is founded not only on the
testimony of friends who had learned of
disputed facts in the City of Frederick,
but by confrmatory and unsolicited ev-
dence from numerous persons in the
South. He first heard, of the story
from lady of Virginia birth, now
living in the District of Columbia,
whose veracity is unquestioned. Other
authorities were Miss Dorothea Dix,
Judge John G. Underwood, late of the
United States District Court of Vir-
ginia, and daughter of Stonewall
Jackson, who wrote to the poet thank
ing him for his tender mention of her
father. Mr.. Whittier gave these facts
to reporter of the Boston Advertiser,
with extracts from the letters alluded
to, and in closing the conversation
added: s'I am little afraid the incident
will stick to the old lady for some time

A Venerable Tree Toad.

At Lexington, KY, few days ago, a
remarkable discovery of a living frog
in the heart of large tree was made.
A section of a sycamore tree, four feet
ia diameter and three feet wide, intend
ed for butchers block, was cut into
two equal sections with cross-cut saw,
thus making two blocks of the same
size. In the centre of the tree an ir-
regular fssure was discovered which
measured six inches in length and
three -eighths of an inch in width, and
extended into each block. One of the
blocks was placed upon its end, the
newly cut surface being uppermost.
One of the workmen, happening
to look into the narrow crack,
noticed the green and Shiny sur
face of what he supposed was a
snake. Having procured small stick,
he thrust it into the oriice, when a
green frog jumped out, and fell, appar-
emily hfeless, upon the surface of the
block In few minutes it commenced
to breathe. The pulsations of the
blood could be plainly seen on the ur-
der surface of the throat, and it soon
revived. 1t was placed in a glass jar.
half filled with water, when it imme-
diately climbed up the slippery surface
and stuck to the side of the glass, where
it could be plainly observed. Its back
was bright green, and the under part Of
the body was of pale blue, like the
colorless appearance of vegetables
which have grown in a dark cellar. It
was about three inches in length, and
was evidently tree frog (ra,aa hyla).
A latest reports it was still alive and
made the nights melodious with it's
singing. Lexington (Ky.) Journal.

Cape Porpoises and Blacklist.

At present whales are scarce in Cape
Cod Harbor: and it is an extra hazard
GUS thing for even porpoise to show
his bla ok nose over the water in sight
of the town. Only a few weeks before

lsh PURPOSES entered the harbor, and
TOUR hundred were captured In an at
ternoon, and not only ID the legitimate
way, SO to speak, by men with harpoons
IN boats, but a part of the school was
driven into shoal wafer, where men
waded out up to their arm-pits, and
grabbing porpoise with the fingers
OF one hand IN his eyes and the other
catching his back fin, dragged him
ashore by main force. If you want to

will find yourself in less than two min.
utes in the middle of very lively
population. Blacklist means money.
They are worth about ten dollars
apiece and a capture of four
hundred fish is a handsome
days work, which adds tc
the wealth, as to the fragrance of the
town. Besides the blubber oil which
these animals and porpoises yield, there
is a product of which few people, i'm
