The brig Akbar. now on her voyage from Havana
to this port has board the captain and three
sick with the dreaded disease. During the trip.
when only a few days out from Havana, ono of tho
crew died from the fever. These facts reported
by Captain coffin. of the brig l.. L. Munson. The
latter vessel left Cardcnas on tho 18th of July with
cargo of sugar to order. and consigned to f. Tai
bot a. Co.. OF No. 132 Front street. Her voyage was
quick and prosperous, being accelerated by favor
ablc wind. On the morning OF the 18th. latitude ~
deg longitude 10 deg 30 n.in.. vessel deserted
the horizon that bore signal of distress ON
her masthead. Captain Coffin ut gave orders tn
change the course of the Munson aud bore down
upon her until within Mailing distance. Then u
small boat launched and the captain aud two
sailors boarded the strange craft which proved to be
the Akbar. He found the crew in most dcplorablo
condition. There we're only six men in tho entire
company. One had died the day before. aud three
scamcn with Captain Robinson. were lying very sick
with the yellow fever in the hold, that there was
incapable of managing the brig alone. He asked for
assistance, aud Captain Coffin with his men helped
to tie up the sails aud put the vessel in running
der. Their provisions were plentiful. and all they
asked TOR navigator to assist them in cont
ing their voyage. The first officer OF the Munson
nobly volunteered to net in this capacity aud was
put board the fever-strcken vessel, alter
which captain Coffin sailei away. leaving his good
wishes for the safe termination OF their voyage.
With the extra hand lent them the Akbar will be
able to keep aloat until taken IN tow by larger
vessel or until the sick soamen recover. The vessel
had left Havana about the 18th of the month and IL
she comes direct 10 New York should reach here in
a short time. .
At Quarantine DR.. vanderpoel the Health Oniccr,
boarded the Munson and thoroughly examined her.
There had been no sickness board, and, with tho
exception OF the Captain and two OF the sailors who
were apparently III the best OF health no one had
boarded the injected vessel. so that the Doctor had
no hesitation i'll giving her permit to- come up to
the city, which she did yesterday afternoon, and
after inspection by the Custom House officers oil

New Saw Machine.

For many years farmers have felt the
need OF some improvement on the old and
laborious two-handled cross-cut saw, for
saving up bodies of trees into any length
desired for saw-logs, slaves, rails. stove.
wood, etc. This long needed improve.
ment has at last been invented by ". W
Giles, of Cincinnati, O., who, by the wav.
is one of the greatest of American inven'
tors. We see from our exchanges that
the editor of the Ohio Farmer. also the
editor of the 4. G. ReUie,o, of Cincinnati
called on MIR. Giles personally to see the
marvellous saw machine. They both pro.
nounce 1t machine Of great merit The
curiosity ofthese gentlemen was not salts.
ned upon seeing others operate the ma
chine, butthey both tried ii themselves on
large log, and they report that one man
operates it with ease, and saws much
more rapidly than two men could with
the ordinary cross-cut saw. The secret of
running this machine so easily is ex-
planned by the fact that the weight of the
operator does fully one-half of the labor.
1t Is easily moved or carried about by one
man, and has all the points of durability
and practical utility wanted in such an
implement; A very large demand for
these machines is already established.
and all who see them are delighted with
their superior labor-saving principles.
Many people are constantly calling on
MIR. Giles to see the machine and test its
merits for their friends in the country.
Our attention was called to one man in
Colorado, who wrote to Samuel Cary, of
Cincinnati (and, by the way, one of the
most distinguished statesmen of Ohiol,
asking him 10 call and see Mr.. Giles and
his saw machine, and write what he
thought of it. Mr.. Cary promptly went
to see the machine, and pronounced it
good machine, and concluded to buy two
OF them himself. Mr.. Giles is said to be
very wealthy, being real estate owner of
over 100000, and his confidence in the
great merit of his invention is shown
from the fact that he guarantees every
machine to give satisfaction.

The daisies sleep under the snow,
The pansieS and Tioets blue

The sunshine but seems the pale ghost Of the

Among others We're seen there Tycho de

peror and his love of sciences had gath
cred IN that city, a large number of adopts
IN astrol0gy and alchemy from all parts
OF the world, and the good example set
by the Emperor himself had urged to-
ward these studies number of the high
nobility and the most Of those who sur
round royalty. One of these noblemen
lived near Prague. He was a wealthy
and influential Count, who lived in re-
tirement and devoted all his time to the
study OF alchemy and astrology Full of
admiration for the deep and discerning
mind Of the learned Rabbi Loew, he Of
ten made him visit his castle, and the
Rabbi also liked to be connected with
this Count, SO skilled in the occult sci
ences.
One day, after ntcrchanging their
ideas for several hours upon many scien-
tife questions, Rabbi Loew prepared to
depart for Prague

sistancc. But Rufus would not permit
the Samaritansto enter his presence, be-
cause he was angry at him for having
advised keturah S retention, which was
the direct cause of Shimeon's violent
proceedings against him. The Samaritan
entered therefore into the. chamber
where the soldiers reposed. with smiI-
ing face and words Of comfort and con
ISOLATION. But with all this, said Pa
pus to them. Il advise you not to sleep
this night, lest you should suddenly be
attacked by the Jewish king; for in this.
fortress there are no geese to awake you
from your sleep and to warn you of your
danger, as once happened to your ances-
tors who were suddenly attacked by bar
barians when they were. enclosed in the
capitol of Rome.
What have we to do with the as
sistance of geese?" replied Caius, who
was the general of the army. I'VE will
be saved by our powerful arm, and with
our right hand will we conquer! We have
nothing to do with geese, nor with any
of the magical and cabalistic practices
which the Jews use, as our priests tell
us. The Jews must be sorcerers,
enchanters and magicians, else their i'm
postor would never have been able to
triumph over terrible lion, and to CON
quer in one day this large and fortified
city. Though the Romans have often
won such mighty victories, it is utterly
impossible for any man who is not Ro-
man, and especially for Jew, to do the
like except by magic and sorcery.

rules Of architecture, Although the in
terror was composed of very extensive
wings, there reigned everywhere sur
prising symmetry and splendor Rich car
pets covered the main stair. On the
walls were displayed paintings of mar
velous conception and irreproachable
execution Arrived at the yestibule, the
guests perceived long suite of apart
ments, that seemed to be the temple of
luxury and splendor, All that contem-
porary art could produce was collected
there with exquisite taste. The Count
and his friends wondered at the artistic
taste of the Rabbi, the man who by his
appearance and conversation, seemed so
little disposed to make any sacrifices to
fashion. The dinner bell rang, and the
dining room was opened wide as by en-
chantment A long table was loaded
with a magnificent course Of dishes; not
glasses, but cups of gold, and savory vic
tuals smoking on large silver salvers.
The Count and his friends, who had Of
ten dined at the royal table, were daz-,
zled by these riches and were forced to
acknowledge that the table service of
the Rabbi was in no way inferior to that
of the Emperor.
They sat down to dine and ate with
appetite. The conversation became ami
mated and every face beamed with plea
sure and mirth. At certain moment
the Count motioned to one of his serv-
ants who, according to orders previously
given, stealthily distracted one of the
gold cups. The meal ended, the illus
trlous guests arose, praised this magnif
BILE service, and left the dwelling Of Rab-
bi Loew, giving every evidence Of their
great pleasure
4 short time afterward, the Count
read q very singular news item: "One
day palace, nearly two hundred miles
from Prague, had suddenly disappeared
with allits treasures. The next day it
was found on its late grounds and none
of the valuable objects were missing, ex-
cept one OF the cups of gold" The Count
then remembered th4 feast rendered by
the Rabbi, and the command given bv
him TO his servant !

He meditated for a time and soon sent
for Rabbi Loew, who arrived in great
haste. Rabbi" said the Count, until
