Treasurer Cardozo:

II is universally conceded That this
has been q very dull session of the
Legislature. but recently it has been
enlivened somewhat by an effort to
convict State Treasurer Cardozo of
malfeasance' III Office, and bring about
his Impeachment. In report OF a
committee appointed to find out what
bonds had been fhhded, under the
funding act, &C., serious reflections
were made upon Mr.. Cardozo. On
Tuesday of'tIds week lie suh,rfttea- q
vindication of his official conduct in
answer to the charges made by the
committee. Mr.. Cardozo closes in
the following Words:

4 Ch,p From IA star.


\ few DAYS ago, as lady, who resides IN
the south part OF the city, was standing at the
rate in front of her residence she was startled
BY a rUst!ing sound in one OF the shade trees
and instantly heard some heavy object drop
with a loud thump on the plank walk On
picking UP the "thihg,' il was found to be
about two inches long and three quarters of
an inch thick and apparently composed Of
exceedingly dense iron, with yellow bloches
that Icsemblcd sulphur, and covered with a
black substance resembling coal tar. When
picked up it was found to be uncomtortably
warm for the hand and all the circumstances
combined lead lrressubly to the conclusion
that this little body is . fragment Of a larger
one which was a meteorite or ac-olite. The
sides of the fragment have the appearance OF
having been split off from another body, and
present longitudinal ST. ia in the direction OF
the fracture. The ends seem to have been
suuarclv broken off, somewhat like the frac'
ture made by the breaking of the mineral
known rs galena. This little piece fell at
about O'Clock in the afternoon, when the
sun was shining in clear sky, and no doubt
the greater body burst in the extreme upper
regions of the atmosphere in the full blaze OF
sunlight, and so escaped observation. If this
had happened during darkness and stiffness
of the night, the light and noise would no
doubt have attracted attention A moments
inspection of this fragment Is sufficient to
show that it closely resembles, in every re.
Spect the aerolites that are known to have
fallen in many parts of the world, and that
are treasured as great curiositics in many
of our largest museums; the more so as
the substance of whichit is composed res EN-
bles IN its chemical combinations, no mineral
of terrestrial origin. Wherever these bodies
or fragment are found they may be instantly
recognized by this popularity: their sub
stance being known as meteoric iron. A
body of this kind was found in South Amer.
ca that is estimated to weig}. 10000 pounds ;
another in the Yale college cabinet, which
was found in the Red River country, weighs
600 mounds

THE SUN.-The diameter of the san is eight

dred and eighty miles. A train which travels
the earth's circumference in a month, would
require nine years to do so on the sun. Let
a cannon ball represent the earth, and it will
take one million four hundred thousand such
balls to represent the sun; but it would re-
qulre only three hundred thousand earths
to equal the sun in weight This gives him
an excess Of mass over all the known planets

intensely luminous as the lime light, would
only equal his brlllance; while a calculation

THE HEIGHT or DtLICtCY-A Paris letter
says: 1T may perhaps be new to many 10
learn that the late Comte Paul DemidOff
whose wealth was immense, passed for a saw
age at ~ Petersburg. He lived quite alone
He never allowed bis servants to handle any
thing in.ended for him, unless their hands
were gloved, and his Wallets had 10 wear
gloves when dressing HIM. He even washed
the bank-notes in IA golden vase, and hung
them W TO dry on a line, as would a laundry
maid her linen, before putting them into his
pocketbOok. An attache of the French EN-.
bassy on one occasion dined with the comte
and when tea was served in the salon, he was
so occupied in a discussion on magnetism,
that he unconsciously placed his hand IN the
sugar bowl, when handed to him by the ser
want, aud took morsel of sugar. The cor;e
called The servant and ordered him to throw
the bowl and contents out of the window
The attache was the least disconcerted among
the amazed company, and when the discus
sion was over, he quietly finished his tea,
aud approaching the window, slowly threw
cup, saucer, and spoon out, spologizSng to
the cofnte that he was not aware such was
the custom Of the house. That attache IS now
