The A. M. InsUtnt Binmlnntioa.
We would remind our readers that aa examina
tion of the students and cadets will take place at
the Arkansas Military Institute, Tulip, Dallas co.,
on the ‘Jftth inst. The exercises upon this occa
sion will be very interesting and will amply repay
a visit to the college. The neighborhood of Tulip
is already noted for hospitality, good taste and re
finement. Col. Alexander extends an invitation to
all who feel an interest in the progress of educa
tion to be present.
Electro Magnetic Eoeomotive.
The time seems not far distant when Steam will
be superseded by a cheaper and more powerful mo
tive power. Professor Page, aided by an appro
priation from Congress has beea making experi
ments with Electro Magnetism as a motive power.
He has met with much success and has been able
to propel an engine upon the road from Washing
ton to Bladenbutg at the rate of nineteen miles
an hour. Trnly, science is yet in its infancy.
IT The Grand Jury of the city of New York
have recently presented the prison called the
“ T <rahs” as a nuisance, characterising it, in their
presentment, aa “ a curie and disgrace to the city.”
It appears that its capacity is so inadequate to the
wants of the State, that two or more criminals are
now necessarily crowned into owe cell, without
any reference to the relative character of those
who are thus associated. So that Juvenile offen
ders, who are accused of tome slight misdemeanor,
are placed under the tuition of old malefactors,
aud, by means ol their precepts and examples,
soon graduate accomplished rogues.

On the 13th inst., the steamer P. Penny wit

her owners will replace her with a new boat, in

The Map Ball.
Seldom has it been our lot to witnem such an
exhibition of girlish graces and juvenile joyousness
as was presented by the May Ball given by Mr. O.
B. King to his pupils, on Thursday night. Sixty
or seventy glcesome children and young ladies
were mingling blithely in the fantastic figures of
the dance, now gathered gracefully into little
groups and now acattered merrily, like the shifting
colors of the Kaleideseope. Their eyes sparkling
with happy inuocenca, their tinged cheeks with the
roe y hues of careless youth, and their tiny, twinkling
feet, tripping gaily, keeping tune with the merry
music. Messrs. King and Whitcomb performed
admirable. Their music was of a belter order than
is often heard here.
N.B.—We must subjoin a caution to our young
ladies who have already made their defer. Had
they been present on Thursday night they would
hasten “ off the carpet” before that formidable
array of beauty swam upon their places and makes
dangerous rivals for them.

Oa Monday the Ml tart., a so-called Union Con
vent »■ met at Jaeksoa, Mieusippi, for tbe pnr
pme of nominating candidate* to ftii the Bute offi
ees. Tbe convention war eoaymd of 180 whig*,
among whom were tbe Mart bitter and uncompro
mising oM fashioned federalist*, and twenty recre
ant democrat*. mortiy disappointed office aether*.
Thw araablap made tbe following nomination*:
For Governor, H. 8. Foot*; Secretary of State,
Jamas A. Bora, (whig); for Anditor, D. R. Ru»
aell, (whig); for SUta Tmaaaier, William Clark,
(who war'nt renominated for the aame office by
the Democrat* a few year* ante; and who waa
violently oppoaed to the Compromise measures,
until afoot tke (mm ef the Union Gmomtim.)
It will thuabeaeea that tbe whig party of Mis
aiaaippi baa committed itaelf upon the rubject of
Bute right* and Southern interests, and, by the
nomination of the recreant democrat Henry S.
Foote, has «ypr*e*rf, ratified and conjirme I the com
promiae measures of the late Congress, and ac
knowledged a willing submission to all the aggres
sions upon Southern righta, for the protection of
which the democracy of tbe 8outh aided by a large
portion of tbe true democracy of tbe North have
been so bravely battling. We do not wish to
make the Southern question a party test, for on
this subject whig* and democrats throughout the
South should be united heart and hand, but we
have observed with regret, that there is a disposi
tion upon tbe part of the whig wire-workers of the
South, under cover of the name of tbe Union party,
to beguile the unsuspecting into a aupport of men,
who have been traitors totbe South and false friends
to the Union. The device is ss shallow but far
more pernicious than the assumed name of no
party party. by whose magic influence they were
enabled to aucceed in the last presidential elec
tion. We trust that in Arkansas at leaat tbe eyes
of the people are open and that they will not be
gulled by any such purely partisan trickery, into
the support of men who are not known and tried
advocates of Southern interests, nor lead info tbe
I approval of any measures aggressive upon the rights
The advocate* of State’* right* axe the true
Union men of the country. To their effort* alone
are we indebted that the late compromise mea
sures were not even more unjust to the South,
and to them muat we look in the future for pro
tection for ourselves, our property aud our dearest
priveleges and for the safety of the country.
Although the South, in preference to a sudden
and violent dissolution of the Union, has unwill
ingly acquiesced in the late compromise measures,
her people, if not blinded by the most fallacious
sophistry, must still believe that they were unjust
and unconstitutional. They must still believ e that
the exclusion of slavery from 153,000 square miles
of public territory was an act of unconstitutional
injustice; that the dismemberment of Texas, to be
paid for with money furnished almost entirely by
tbe South, was an unpalliated and inexcusable
outrage; that the fugitive slave act was no guar
antee of future protection but merely the reitera
tion of an established coustitutional provision; aud
that the suppression of the slave trade in the Dts
trict of Columbia was an unwarrantable assump
tion of power on the partof Congress, and the en
tering wedge of a series of premeditated aggres
sions upon our most prominent domestic institu
tion, and our social relations, by which in the end
slavery in the States may be abolished and the
negro and the white man placed upon a political
equality aa in New York and Massachusetts.—
Tbe people of tbe South, whigs as well as demo
crats, must still believe these facts, boasted of at
the North and confessed by tbe South, and al
though they may not rush heedlessly upon seces
sion and dissolution, they surely can not be in
duced to aeal their own fate aud cringingly to kiss
the hand that smites them, by giving their ArmovAL
and BATincATios directly or ludirectly, to such
odious and unwelcome enactments.
The Ctarendou Turnpike Company.
We understand that the commissioners named
in the charter of this company, are ready at any
! time upon application to open subscription books
I aud make arrangements for this organization of the
company. Messrs. James D. Keaus and Win. E.
, Ashley, of this city, and Messrs. Richard l*> burn ■
' and S. Martin, of Clarendon, are the commission- ;
ers for this purpose.
The importance of completing this improvement
does not appear to be fully appreciated by our '
citizens. Its object is to construct a safe and pas- 1
; sable road through the White river swanqis oil the (
route from Memphis to Little Rock. This was in
tended to have been done in connection with the
Memphis and tit. Francis Plank Road Company.
The latter company has already commenced or
ations, and from the interest taken in it by the
people of Memphis, its success is no longer doubt
ful. The completion of these two proposed im
provements will be of incalculable benefit to our |
I whole State and will concentrate upou this route ,
the greater portion of all the emigration into Ar- |
Kansas and Texas. Prom the amount of travel |
which already under existing disadvantages passes ,
over this loute, and the great increase which will
be induced by the superior advantages proposed to (
be obtained, the stock of the Clarendon Turnpike 1 (
Company must prove profitable. It is due to the i j
patriotism and interests of our citizens that early ! ,
action upon tbe subject should be had. ,
IT Quite an excitement was produced at tiie
steamboat landing, a few days since, at the ap
pearance of a couple of ladies with the short i
Turkish dreas. They were travelling in company 1
with gentleman, and were evidently people of I
cultivation. A revolution in female costume is ,
undoubtedly in preparation. There can be noth
ing more ungraceful than the long, drabbling dres
ses which sweep the streets and steps wherever "
ladies move. .As a mater of personal comfort, the . '
Turkish dress must be most agreeable, in addition !
to its beauty. [ Oiwtgo Journal. j
All this is doubtless too true, but although vr ! ,
have long ago surrendered tl«e farrcAra, we cannotf t
contemplate without a feeling of horror this attemp- 1
ted innovation upon the established aud dis ]
| tinctive costume of the sex. Those “ long
j drahlmg dresses,” are to be sure very unlx-coming,
I and it is presumed that iVy never conceal a neat
i foot aud pretty ancle, but.we must acknowledge a
| sort of adoration for petticoats in general and'should (
| be sory to see them laid aside for less feminine ap- ,

A roHriente Colony in Tfins.
The Victoria Advocate says that a colony has J r
been etUblithed about ten mile* above that town, 1 f
on the Pourierite system, by General John D. ' J
Wilkins, of Louisiana; but now under the man
agement of Mr. A. Rogers, a German of education t

We published last week aome account of tbe
novetncnU of the recently organised expedition
o Cuba nnce which the affair haa been placed be
fond question. The taking of the steamship
Cleopatra by the UJB. Mar*haII at New York.—
Plus munitions of war which have beensiezed, the
;athermg in companies of men to a particular point,
ill ahow that the enterprise » again fairly on foot,
ind that vigor and energy have been used in the
imngeaaent. The President's proelaroation it a
rich specimen of iuanlting interference with the
rffortt of men to emancipate a suffering and down
trodden people, and deserves as it will receive the
contempt of those who sympathise with the oppres
led. One tenth the determination and expenditure
Df the "sinews of war" to enforce the recently
violated laws in the city of Boston would have ter
minated at least for a season, opposition by tin
lawful assemblages, but a soft answer that might
tnrn away wrath was sent in the first instance,
and in the second an insulting proclamation was
issued, while not less than three U.S. vessels were
employed to back it. The Saranac is sent to Pen
sacola, the Germantown to liavanna and the Wela
ka has been employed by order* of the General
Government to cruiae along the Florida coast, to
pick up any unfortunate set of men, who might be
found with anna in their hand*. What an effect
sympathy has upon a man and how often it leads
to error! Well we hope and believe that the pre
sent arrangement will be so ably and discreetly
managed, that even the determined and energetic
measures upon the part of the Government, to ob
struct or crush it, will prove unavailable. For we
desire to see the beautiful Island now governed by
despotic law and tyranny, converted into a flour
ishing republic, whether annexed to the United
States or not. Reports from Savannah, Georgia,
show that large bodies of men have been assem
bling in Georgia, and South Carolina, with the
■vowed purpose of joining the expedition. The
officers of Government are directed to be on the
watch everywhere, and many arrests have already
been made. The following from the New York
Herald will show the movement iu that city and
the results.
At sn early hour yesterday, Mr. Tailmadge, the
U. 8. Marshal, assisted by his efficient duputies,
Mtmsrs.TjlImadge,Thompson, Brown, Kakielewitz,
laid plans to effect the arrest of the alleged ring
leaders of the Cuban expedition, the facts of which
we have previously alluded to; but in ordei to ob
tain the correct information as to whom the parties
were, said to adopt a method by which it could be
ascertained with certainty, and in order to effect,
Deputy Rakielewitz disguised himsell as one of the
emigrant Germans, and proceeded to South Ambov,
and there wrtlrted among the men who were con
gregated nf that Vicinity, ready for the embarkation.
On conversing in German with these mu, the off
ficer soon ascertained the names of certain persons
in New York, who were said to be the leading
parlies in the contemplated invasion.
Accordingly, five of these men were taken, bvan
invitation given by tbe officer, and conveyed lie
fare Mr. Nelson, tbe U. S. Commissioner, before
whom certain affidavits were preferred, snd war
rants issued for the following named person :
John L. O’Sullivan, (son in-law of Dr. J. Kear
ney Rogers,) William T. Rogers, Jun., (nephew of
the said Dr. Rogers, Captain Lewis, captain of the
steamboat Cleopatra, and formerly captain of the
Creole in the former expedition ; Maj, Louis Sehle
smger, one of the Hungarian patriots ; Dr. Daniel
11. Hurtnett, an old resident of this city ; Pedro
Sanches, a Spaniard of some note in this vicinity.
All these persons were arrested during the dsv and
evening, the last arrest being made about the day
and evening, the last arrest being made about 8
o’clock. The charge alleged against them, in sub
stance, as set forth in the warrant of arrest, read
as follows: “ That the above named parties did,
by themselves, and in conjunction with others, at
the city of New York, in the Southern District of
New York, provide and prepare the means for a
military expedition or enterprise, to be carried on
from the said United States against the territory or
dominion of her Majesty the Queen of Spain, with
whom the said United States are at peace, and
more particularly against the Island of Cuba, m
the possession of such territory and dominion of
the Queen of Spaina foresaid, contrary to the con
tract of the 6th section of the neutrality act of the
<!Oth A pul, 1818.”
The parties above named, as arrested, were at
mce conveyed before the Marshal, where they
were detained, and Commissioner Nelson sent for
to adjudicate on the matter; but after waiting for
mine two or three hours, the messenger returned,
laying that the Commissioner could not be found.
A messenger was then dispatched for Commissum
i*r Bndgham, who forthwith attended. The charge
was then presented before him by Mr. Everts, the
District Attorney; ami the prisoners were held to
bail each in the sum of83CM», to answer the charge
it court. Dr. Rogers, who had been sent for, then
entered into the required bonJs for the appear
ance of Mr. O'Sullivan and his nephew, Win. T.
Rogeis, and a Mr. Freeman became surety for
Pedro Sanchez. Dr. Burtnett was allowed to de
part in the custody of the Deputy Marshal until
Monday, and Captain Lewis and Major Schlesin
;er were committed to jail in default of bail. Du
ingthe day, the Marshal applied for a detachment
if marines to take charge of the steamboat Cleo
latra. A detachment was forwarded, and the ves
icl is now under their charge, lying at tbe foot of
'forth Moore street.
IT The Southern Baptist convention was organ
zed at Nashville Teunejse on the 9th inst., by the
rtection of Dr. Howell, of Richmond, Va„ as
•resident, and Dr. Fuller of Baltimore, and Drs.
luck and Fuller of Kentucky, as Vice Presidents,
ind Mr. Cniw of Mississippi, and Mr. Crane of
•'ugioia, Secretaries. Thirteen Stales are repre
ented, and there are one hundred delegate* pres
int. Objections were made to adwiting Dr. Mo
,ane, of New York, to a seat, on account of his
entimentson the slavery question. He disclaimed
bolitionism, and was then admitted.
Benefit or Advertising.
The following instance of the advantage arising
rom a judicions system of advertising is given by
he Philadelphia Inquirer. finch instances are by
i<> means rare:
“ A member of a leading firm in South Third
treet, yesterday inform.-d us that a few days since
ie commenced advertising by the year in the col
imns of the Inquirer. His first advertisement had
leen published only a few hours, when it attracted
he attention ofa stranger, who immediately called
t his office, and after a conversation of a few
ninutes, made a purchase, on which our friend
ealiscd a profit of rleren hundred dollart ! This
t an undoubted fact, and it speaks volumes as to
he value of advertising.”

tion Coo tpnlioa, mot in Charleston on the 5th ipst.
It was organised by the election of the following,
officers:
President—Ex-Governor Richardson.
Vice President—Ex-Gov. W. C. Seahrook.
Secretaries—J. 8. Ashe, N. L. Griffin, J. W.
Simpson, R. H. Goo J win. B. K. Ilannegan and
W. H. Gist.
The President is a strong Union man, bot his
I remarks at the opening of the Convention were
forcible and plainly pointed to resistance against
any and ail aggressions upon Southern rights. The
following is the telegraphic summary of his speech.
" He calmly and temperately reviewed the portion
of affairs. He considers thatSouthcru instituti in.,,
under the existing circumstances, could not Usi
twenty years. He alluded forcibly to the d:*Tc ^
j gard of blood and treasure expended by the South
in tbe'acquisitinh of territory an 1 her subsequent:
j exclusion from those territories, and said when dsn j
. gera threaten our existence, and thus reach our J
J very doors, it was time to arm against them, anJ
i that it was futile to lope that the Constitution, j
| based on such legislation, could Survive, the Con- j
verttion could yield nothing to its s ippjrt. The
deliberations of the Convention, he sai l, should be ■
confined to the when, where and how the rests J
I tanee should be made, though he confessed it
. should not be resorted to rashly, fie, however*
would not discuss that subject as he did n >t desire i
to bias men, he loved the Union, he did n it beiieve
there was an amateur disuniomst among them.—
j lie advocated union ammgst themselves, if any are j
i forming in our real, said he, let us await their ap- I
proach, if in our vau let us march up to them. It
has been said that whom God and nature joined
together man should not put asunder, but the re
verse may also be applied—those whom God and
nature thas put asunder, let no man join together.
He then argued at length on the want of affinity -
between the two sections of the country, and ad- ,
vised earnest and temperate deliberation.
On the third day there were 3% delegates in 1
attendance, representing every part of the State. 1
A great excitement prevailed, Rhett’s resolutions’
in favor of separate State action were received with !
tremendous applause—notwithstanding the efforts
to the contrary of Messrs. I.angdon Cheeves and
Senator Butler. YVe will await with much anxie
i ty the further action of this body, whose proceed- !
: ing will have no little influence for the weal or
I woe of Southern rights.

Spanish (Ho nr ip) Claims.
We are indebted to otir friend George C. Wat
kins, Esq., of this city, for permission to publish j
the following letter recently received by him from
the Commissioner-of the General Land Office. It i
contains information of great importance to all that
class of our citizens who are residing upon and j
cultivating lands held under the so-called Botme
Chime We particularly call their attention to
the last paragraph.
According to our recollection, all the lands that
; were entered with Bowie claims, had been pren
lously offered at public sale—the law prohibiting
j their location on lands not so offered. Hence, it
is not probable that any lands held under those
claims will be again offered at public sale, but all
will doubtless be classed among those referred to
in the 3d paragraph, which “ will be restored to
private entry, as if no reservation had been made,
after due public notice, Air.”
All those interested cannot be too active in hus- j
bandding the necessary funds, as early as passible,
so as to be prepared to enter their lauds wheu the
promised notice shall be given.
General Lmi-Ofice, April 23, 1881.
8ia.— In reply to yours of the .VUh ult., I have ;
to state, that it is the intention of this Office to!
bring the tracts heretofore embraced by the so- 1
called Bowie Claims, which have not been entered
under the Acts of August nth, 1842, and March ;
,3, 1849, -‘into market under existing laws,” as
early as practicable.
Such portions of saal lands as have not been of
; fered at public sale, will be included in the Presi
' dent's proclamation of lands to be offered at pub
’ lie sale, in Arkansas, now, in the course of pre- j
j [isration, if the pressure of business now upon
I this office will permit proper lists thereof to be
j made out.
I Such portions as have been lieretcfore offered at
! public sale, will be restored to private, entry, as if j
I no reservation had been made after due public no
j tice, as soon as the necessary lists and instructions ]
\ to the several Land-officers throughout the Slate j
| can be prepared.
Pre-emption claims, founded upon settlements
j made after the Si of March, 1851, will attach to
j the lands of either of the above classes.
Very respectfully, your ob't st rv’t,

At New York, on the morning of the 2">th ult.,
Mr. Tallinadge, l'. S. Marshal, assisted by hisdepu- .
| ties, arrested five persons who were said to be i
leading men in the contemplated invasion of Cuba. (
John I,. O’Lullivan, Wm. T. Rogers, Capt Lewis, j
of the steamship Cleopatra and formerly of the I
Creole, Major Louis Schlesmger, one of the Hun*
; garian patriots, Ur. Daniel M. llurtnett, an old
resident of New York, and Pedro Sanchez, a
Spaniard, were also arrested. They were taken
before Commissioner Bridgham aim were requested '
to give bail, each in the sum of 83,000, to answer
i the charge against than at court. Lewis and
Schlesmger were committed to jail m default of j
I bail. During the day the marshal applied for a de- I
! tachment of Marines to take chrrge of the Cleo-'
pairs. Com. Setters forthwith granted the request,
and a detachment was sent to the vessel.
A Washington despatch of the 25th ult. says:
The Spanish Minister has had a long interview ,
with the President in relation to the meditated at- j
tack upon Cuba. The Secretary of War and the ■
Secretary of the Navy were sent for and remained
during the interview. It is known that parties 1
are organised at different points for the purpose of
invading the island, and every preparation has ’
. been made by the authorities of the United States I •
to intercept them as soon as they commit them 1
selves by embarking for that purpose. In addition
to instructions to the marshal ami other officers, 1
the vessels of the Home Squadron have been or
dered to cruise in such a way as to render any at !
tempt to reach Cuba almost, if not wholly, imuos- i 1
sible. The Saranac is at Pensacola and the Ger- 1
mantown at Havana. The Albany will reach then
by the 1st of May.
A despatch of the day following says:
Authentic information has been received by the !,
Uovernmennt authorities hen- that ls;>e nuro- ,

The Secretary of the Navy has SO disposed of the

tercept and frustrate any expedition that may be r

They will hardly be able to effect a landing this' ,

the followin ' pr amble and resolutions were adopt
ed by the meeting, to writ:
Whereas, we as Democrats, believe it to be our
duty to express our opinions upon the great lead
in? political t >pics that are agitating the country;
and whereas, there is to be a Democratic Conven
tion held in the cityof Li'tle Rock, ou the fourth
Monday in April, mi, to nominate a candidate
to represent us in the neit and ensuing Congress,
ind we believing it to be our duty and privilege
to seno a Delegate to said Convention.
Therefore beit Reao'.ee l. That we believe the
Constitution of the Cmte 1 States to be the great
and fundamental law of the nation, guaranteeing
to each individual and Slat*- equal rights and
privileges, and we believe that Congress in passing
the so called Compromise act, disregarded the
rights of the Southern States, and went beyond
their constitutional authorities and was passed in
bad faith.
Reoolted, That we believe the object of the
great Southern C invention held at Nashville, was
patriotic and n able, and was intended to set up a
defence in favor of our C institutional Rights, and
to manifest to the world fiat they were sensible
of the wrongs tint had been perpetrated a must
the Southern State*.
Retake !, That we have the utmost confidence
in the integrity, honesty and sofind Democratic
principles of the Hon. R. W. Johnson as our first
choice, and Elias N. Conway as our second choice,
and Geo. W. Clarke as our third choice, and we
will give our hearty support to any Dam wrat ad
vocating the doctrines expressed and set fourth in
the resolutions, that the Convention may select.
Retolrti, That Jas. B. Ragsdale, Esq., be ap
pointed as Delegate fr>m this county, and in case
of his failing to attend, the Hon. E. H. English is
authorized to cast the vote of this county.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting
be published in the several Democratic papers
printed in this State, and that the Chairman and
Secretary sign the proceedings of the meeting.
Resolved, That the meeting adjourn sine <Ue.

Ex-Senator Beuton, in his late speech on the
Pacific railroad, controverts very happily the idea
:hat no one but a scientific man—an engineer bred
for the purpose—can lay off a road. He cites, as
jroof of the contrary, the fact that the great high
ways of the west have all originated in buffalo
paths, the instinct of the hunter havinaselectoil,
'rom time immemorial, the shortest practicable
■oute from punt to point. He says:
The present National Road from Cumberland
>ver the Allegatnes, was the military road of Gen.
Shaddock, which had been the Buffalo path of the
A-ild animals. So of the two roads from Western
Virginia to Kentucky—one through the gap in the
Cumberland Mountains, the other down the valley
>f the Kenhawa. They were both the war path
if theliwians and the travelling route of the buffa
o, and their first white acquaintances the early
lunters. Buffaloes made them in going from the
lalt spring on the Holston to the rich pastures and
tall springs of Kentucky: Indians followed thwin
irst, white hunters afterwards,—and that is the
way Kentucky was discovered. In more than a
Kindred years no nearer or better routes have been
bund; and science now makes her improved roads
•xactly where the buffalo's foot first marked the
way, and the hunter’s foot afterwards followed
um. So all over Kentucky and the West; and so
n the Rocky Mountains.

Among other points, the defendants contended
hat there can be no sale, as under ntetttitt/, by

iecided ail these positions for the defendants, and
ecoguixed the policy valuation as the only and

decision in the Supreme CoJrt of Pennsylvania
“ Peiffer vs. the Commonwealth of Pennsyiva
ms. The plaintiff in error was latelv eon*.«-ted
of the murder of bis wife, in Sthnylkill county
and sentenced to be hung. The ground relied up
on for reversal was. that after the jurv were sworn,
but before the case was opened, the jury were
suffered to separate ami go to their bonus. This

The Court says that a prisoner on trial for Ins life
should not be asked to consent. Thai the allow

he is without friends it i liable* a powerful eneinv.

i “The laurels,” says the Courier Rtats l’nis,
“ which grace the brow of Jenny Lund lave caused
great grief iu one of the richest and noblest families
of Sweden. Mademoiselle L., the only daughter
of her parents, possessed a remarkably fine voice,
and determined to follow the footsteps of Jenny
Lind, and become, like her, the world's idol. Her
noble father and mother proposed a most advanta
geous marriage to her, but in place of accepting her
I brilliant destiny, she declared she had resolved to be
| an actress, and to eclipse not only Jenny Lind, but
Pasta, Malibran and Catalan!. Her family used
every persuasion to wean her from her wild deter
mination, but she was resolute in her purpose —
Her father resorted to a stratagem to cure her folly.
1 He invited a Urge company to a concert in his
splendid palace. When they entered the room, he
whispered to them a few words, which they all
seemed to understand at once. The concert be

Barber of Sevile. when she ended it, there was
j not the slightest applause, but a hissing murmur
tilled the room. The poor singer, iri despair,
I threw herself into her mother's arms and burst into
a passion of tears. The mother exclaimed, “Ah!
my poor child, you perceive you have entirely
lost your voice. How eau you think of becoming
a public singer!” The heiress divined their pur

In order to show how they intend to use it, here

The llillolypp Discovery in Unguerrutyprs.
The last number of Dagutrreau Journa,, printed
in New York, contains another communication
from Mr. Hill, relative to hi* discovery of produc
ing a variety of uuts of colors in the same pule.—
The editor in prefacing the letter says the views of
landscapes by this process are unequalled, the
flower garden, with all it* variety of blooming flow
er*. cau be uupriuted with a <e gn-e of cxae»tn-«
ami brilliancy which no iiuagination can eomprt
hi nd. It will probably be six mouth* before the
discovery i* ready for the public. Mr. Hill, in order
to show that he can produce wore than one color
at once on a plate, says he- has produ' ed v veral
portraits, one of a laboring man. w ith a sunburnt
face, very red cheeks and Ups, blue eyes, auburn
hair, the naval k ! and blue; ail the above colors
are developed w.'U truthfuluess. A collection of
small pamts, red, yellow, blue, and couibinat.ona
of these, forming seven shades of red, as main ol
y dlow, three of blue, 6ve of green, three tints of
purple, making in ail twenty eight hues, all of
which he has on his plate to the very tint, except
the chrome yellow, a color winch he ha* U.■ m-wt
ditficultv with, bat which he thinks he can over
come. The discovery, it it should turn out as slat
ed, is a very interesting and important one. We
are assured, by a gentleman of this city, w ho has
seen the specimens, that the discovery is genu lie ,
and that the colors taken have the same force and
brilliancy aa -s exhibited in nature. He says noth
