The following lines are from the Free

n is singular coincidence that at the
rnrv moment when we were about deliver
inc To orr compositor q manuscript copy OF
the very same verses, this number OF the
phiiadelphia journal WAS put into our
hands. It Is not the first time that g great
sp;fs iu.np toaether." lin imitation of the
editor OF the Journal we have annexed the
corresponding version Of Francis. the most
celebrated translator OF the poems OF Hor-
ace. The comparison viii do no discredit
TO the genius OF the young Virginian-the
latter as the early age OF fifteen the Eng
lish translator in the tuH tide and maturity
OF his genius.
Concerning General Lewis 1.ittlepage less
has beer written than he really deserved.
He was a native OF Virginia; once sec.
refary or profsqE OF Mr.. Jay, with whom he
subsequently quarrelled, and against whom
he published those severe phiiippics which
poured forth all the fire OF his genius; he
was Mt the siege Of Gibraltar; he was we'll
yersed in almost all the courts Of Europe !;
was particularly conyersant with the court
OF st. Petersburg; was acquainted with
Suwarrow and many OF the great military
men OF Europe; and returned to his ma
tive country with ample resources
about the year 1902. He became
resident OF the town OF Fredericks-
burg, where he died in that year. Littlepage
was man OF immense original powers,
fraugbt with the most striking anecdotes
of men and achievements, and to the last
moment Of his life exhibited that romantic
and original cast Of character which had
distinguished his earlier adventures. Had
such man eXerted his fine talents amidst
the political scenes OF his native country
in the yindication Of her rights and her
houor-he would have played most dis
tinguished part on the theatre OF the pup,
lie. The friends OF General LittIepage (and
he has several relations in Virginia) could
not render us more acceptable service
than by laying before US the memoirs OF the
most eventful incidents OF his romantic life.
So much for the man-and now for the
youthful poet.

A letter has been received by one of our
citizens from Sir Charles Al. Hartley engt.
neer OF the Danube Eon1missioE, dated
Snlina. Aprt, 10Th. giving some gratifying
Information about the condition OF that
mouth OF the Danube which has been IN
course az improvement for several years by
the Governments who were parties to the
treaty OF Paris,
It will be remembered that at the begin
ming OF the recent wnr between Russia ana
Turkey that the Russians sunk obstrue-
lions across the Sulina branch OF the Dan
ube (the only branch navigable for vessels
or deep draught) to prevent Turkish gum
boats from ascending the river, and great
apprehension was felt throughout Europe
that this important improvement would be
seriously damaged.
a Sir Charles writes: "For months past
this dam has exercised no influence what
ever on the regime Of the river" The OBJ
struction was not continuous. Lighters
were sunk with their keels parallel to the
current, from twenty to sixty feet apart, the
Intervals crossed by chains fastened to their
decks and TO the shores, thus forming bar
rier to vessels, but not forming dam. The
lighters were loaded with stone to about
low-water mark. This obstruction doubt
less impeded the current, and threatened
to turn O considerable amount OF the How
into the other outlets. But as the intervals
between the sunken lighters were not en-
tirely covered with stone, the vessels were,
undermined and the exposed bed secured
away. This action continued until the area
of cross section aoaS restored, when no
more injurious effect OH the channel was to
be feared. :,
These sunken ships were blown up with
cun-cotton, and the debris cleared away by
the 9th OF March; and since then. e.. to
April 15th--l50 sea.going ships and steam
ers have passed up to Galatz and Braila !;
but the Russians still withhold an official
notification of the fact that the river is com.
pletely free from torpedoes, which during
the latter part of the war were thrown
about broadcast in the lower reaches OF the
Sulina branch.
The Sulina has not suffered sensibly by
the so-called dam except in its immediate
neighborhood, owing in part to the very
clear condition OF the water in the latter
part Of 1877; and further expenditure OF
about $4,000 in training walls will perma-
nenty remove any deposits, so far as ascer-
tanned. The shoalng at and near the dam
was about two feet.
The channel at the Sulina mouth still
maintains its capital depth OF twenty and q
half feet ut lowest water level. where before
the Improvement there were from seven
to eleven feet, and rarely ever nine feet.
| The result is gratifying TO the friends OF
| the system OF improvement advocated by
Sir Charles, and for the past success OF
which he was knighted by Queen Victoria.

Nor wants the bow nor pointed spear;
Nor needs, while innocent of heart,
The CULVER teeming with the poisoned dart'
Whether thro' Lybia's burning SANDS
Ills journey leads, or Scythia's LANDS,
Inhospitable waste OF SHOWS,
OR where the fabulous Hydaspes hews
Formusipg on my lovely maid.
While careless In the wood srrayed,
A wolf-how dreadful !-cross'd my way.
Yet 6ed-he fed from his defenceless prey.
No beast of such portentious size
IN warlike Daun,ss forest lies,
Nor such the tawny lion reignS
Fierce on his native Afric's thirsty plains
Place me where never summer breeze
Unbinds the globe or warns the trees;
Where ever lowering clouds appear, =.
And angry Joye defcrms the Indictment year.
Place me beneath the burning ray,
Where rolls the rapid Car Of Day;
Love and the nymph shall charm my tolls
The nymph who sweetly speaks and sweetly
smiles.
