Fifty years ago, when We frat became ac-'

enough but they were on comparatively
limited scale. They have since attained
marvelously grand dimensions and intensity,

but Is more correctly styled the Metropolis,

Of about 40 square miles. In the winter
months every house has o coal-dre, some of
them two, three or four; and there are num-
erous manufactures and public works with
furnaces and tall chimneys, all of which
less or more emit quantities Of smoke. This
smoke mingles with what fog there happens
to be, and produces curious mixture, that
is nov Only beginning IN he rightly UNDER

You have heard to-day great deal about
the Latin race, their wondrous qualities,
their peculiar destiny, their possible danger.
II Is a new idea, or rather new phase, that
| observe Is now getting into the political
world, and is probably destined to produce
consequences. No man will treat with in
difference the principle Of race. II is the
key of history, and why history is often so
confused is that II has been written by men
who were ignorant of this principle and all
the knowledge II involves. As one who
may become statesman and assist in gov
erning mankind, II is necessary that you
should not be insensible to IL; whether you
encounter its influences In communities or
in individuals, its qualities must ever be
taken into account. But there Is no subject
which more requires discriminating knowl-
edge, or where your illustrating principle,
| II you are not deeply founded, may not
| chance TO turn out will-o'-the-wisp. Now,
this great question Of the Latin race, by
which NJ. de Vallombrosa may succeed in
disturbing the world--it might be well to
inquire where the Latin race Is to be found
In the north Of Italy, peoplsd by Germans
and named after Germans, or In the south
| Of Italy, swarming with the descendants Of
Normans and Arabs9i Shall we find the

that she had Japanese silk psddlsr in her

to make bargain. II was time to start and
the General went ahead in his vehicle,
leaving member Of his travelling company
at the hotel to follow with Mrs. Grant as
soon as she was ready. This gentleman
paced the hall for an hour, waiting for the
sx- Presidents wife. She was deep In bust

forgot all about the banquet. AT lepgth the
peddler went away, pleased ut tho sale he had
made, and Mra. Grant began to make her tot

The my.tery On Mana S.h,s.

Many of the Hindoos still think, strange
as It may seem TO us, that the leader of the
Sepoy rebellion, Mana Sahib, is still alive,
and that he is in America-a region that is
as vague to them o. the dominions Of Pres
ter John were to the medi@valists. Although
his death was announced twenty years ago,
the truth or falsity of It was not then, nor
has 1t since been, ascertained. But public
opinion long since settled upon the belief
that he has ceased to exist. He might be
alive. SO far as his age goes, for he would not
now be more than sixty years old. In many
respects he was a remarkable man. Very
little is known of his antecedents. He is
said to have been the son of Brahmin from
the Dsccan, and his real name was Dhupdu
Punt. He was adopted while child by
Bajee Rae, Expeishwa of Poons, acquiring
by adoption, according to the Hindoo law,
most of the rights of legitimate son. He
was carefully educated as native nobleman
he learned English and had associations with
the British army and civil officers. The
government of Calcutta having decided that
it could not recognize the right of adopted
persons to pensions or indamnities, the con-
tipusnca al Nana's pension of eight laos of
rupees, previously paid to Bajes Rao, was
then withheld. This, in connection with va
rious Sights from young Englishmen, is sup
posed to have angered him greatly. He
was still permitted to retain some of the
state belonging to his rank, keeping retinue
| Of 200 soldiers, with three field pieces, and a
fortified residence near Cawnpore, When
the mutiny of 1867 had broken out there he
offered to aid the English in its suppression,
but suddenly put himself at the head of the
rebels. as they were called, The British
| troops were induced TO surrender to Mana on
his promise, as 1t is alleged, that they should
be sent down the Ganges. They had but
fairly got on board of two transports when
two guns were unmarked and hot fire
opened upon them. The Sepoys were or
dered to shoot the men but to spare the
women and children, who, after their hus-
bands and fathers had been killed, were
removed to house at Cawnpore. Alter Sil
Henry Havelock had marched to their as
sistance from Allahabad, and defeated the
enemy in two engagements, Mana, driven to
desperation, ordered that all the women and
children should be slain, and the barbaroui
order was most faithfully executed. A long
struggle ensued, in which the Hiudoo chic
was generally wafstsd, though he exhibited
extraordinary resolution, intrepidity, and
command Of resources. He was finally driven
beyond the British frontier into. Nspaul, and
after that all definite trace of him was lost

SO deep her dream OF coming good,
So vast her gaze down PASSIONS food
ny sunny reach and shadowy wood,
SO bold and shy in maidenhood
on fancy's treachsrous steep she stood.
Her wiz perforce must sleep,
The life behind was fat and gray;
Before, swelling prospect lay;
And one was whispering her to stay,
Aud one was reckoning her away
II was not hers to say him nay;
Aud yet she falls to weep. N'
In piteous tremor by her side
The voice to each warm wish replied
with words OF duty, home, and pride
Here, certain peace--there, hopes nntried;
And now abe unused, and now she sighed;
But scarce she strives to speak.
For on her wrist she felt hand,
So softly strong Its master hand:
A aattertng breath her forehead famed
with vows 'twers treason to Withstand.
Or be they writ on rock or sand.
Yet-dare she then DO weak
Poor child from such dream to wake
One word the msiden's spei, shall break
One step her moments empire shake.
This heart shall glow. but that shall ache;
And fain she neither would forsake-

Hon. NJ. MoIlhany returned from
Texas last week, where he sold his
interest in the Texas grant, subject
to all claims for taxes, &c, for 20
cents per acre. He could have sold
more of the land than he did at tho
same price. We think this is the
best thing that can be done. If par
ties in Mexico do not sell their land
at once, or attend to it, they will find
in the course of a year or two that
it has all been sold for taxes or
claimed by squatters. There are
some men in Lsfedo now trying to
get possession Of the land in this vay.
There is some talk Of the Iron Noun
