THE POLYNESIAN.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1859.
A Xaelaraal Sketch.
BY HOOD.
Even is come ; and from the dark Park, hark
The signal of the Betting sun one gun !
And eix is setting from the chime, prime time
To go and Bee the Drury Lane Dane slain,
Or hear Othello's jealous doubt spout out ;
Or Macbeth raving at that shade made blade,
Denying to his frantic clutch much touch ;
Or else to see Ducrow with wide stride ride
Four horses, as no other man can span ;
Or in the small Olympic pit, sit spit,
Laughing at Liston, while you quiz Lis phiz.
Anon night comes, and with her wings brings things
Such as with his poetic tongue, Young sung ;
The gas up-blazes with its white bright light,
And paralytic watchman prowl, howl, growl
About the streets, and take np Pall-Mail Sal,
Who, trusting to her nightly jobs, robs fobs.
Now thieves to enter for your cash, smash, crash,
Past drowsy Charley, in a deep sleep, creep,
But frightened by policeman B, 3, flee,
And while they're going, whisper low, " Xo go !"
Now puss, while fblkes are in their beds, treads, leads,
And sleepers waking, grumble, " drat that cat !"
Who in the gutter catterwauls, squalls, mauls
Some feline foe, and screams in shrill ill will.
Now bulls of Bashan, of a prize size, rise
In childless dreams, and with a roar, gore poor
Georgy, or Charley, or Billy, willy nilly ;
But nurse-maid, in a nightmare rest, chest pressed,
Drcameth of one of her old flames, James Games,
And that she hears what faith is man's ! Ann's banns
And his from Reu'd Mr. Bice, twice, thrice ;
White ribbons flourish, and a stout shout out,
That upwards goes, shows Rose knows those bow's woes!
Cozzen's Wine Press has commenced its sixth
jear, and an editorial commemorating the fact,
records with triumph the continued existence of
this stimulating little journal when prohibitory
leagues and resolutions have gone - by the board.
Good wine is stil! a good commodity. Mr. Coz
zens knows, also, that there are other good things,
walnuts for instance. His Burgundy, Mu nun's
Champagne, and " Sherry of excellent quality "
have an inspiring effect on literature, as the Press
breaks out into a dithyrambic on Tennyson and
the war. In vino Veritas. The knighthood of the
laureate is probably prophetic :
Sir Alfred Tennyson and why not ? There
is no modern English name so worthy of so pretty
a handle! It is like a fiteel-hilted rapier, a dress
court sword, this Sir to the Alfred. Why look
you, how trippingly it goes off the tongue Sir
Alfred Tennyson! What has Queen Victoria
been thinking of, that she has neglected ere this
to have laid steel upon shoulder ? We know very
well that there never was a crown-poet made a
knight in merry England. Britannia has laid
right worshipful on shoulder blade " of many a
hero of paint and of pitch pot upon the lord-commanders
cf her fleets ; upon the gallant leaders
of her beef-eaters ; upon the noble brotherhood of
ecamooony, aloes and gamboge, of pipe and of
pill-box. Britannia has not hesitated to lay her
eword on each or either of these ; but when her
poets are concerned why, when has she ventured
Little England ! that raafe toPL,..-.
knight and Macaulay a baron, do give us a handle
to the poet ot the Isle ot lght. V e want to
read tiie poems of Sir Alfred Tennyson. We
would like to have some sort of recognition of his
services from the other side of the Atlantic. We
know, we appreciate, the dramatic excellence of
" .Maud, the best, the greatest dramatic poem ever
written in England! We can anticipate, by ever
bo many vears, what his ode on the burial or the
Duke of Wellington is worth. We feel the elo
quence of his charge of the six hundred, and his
last charge of " Riflemen, riflemen, form!" which
if Americans do not understand, they do not un
derstand anything. Riflemen, form !" How
can the critics, with their quill pop-guns, their im
becile columns of paper war, enter into the spirit
of that great song ? Let that refrain be 6ung
upon any of our borders; let it be eung upon Ar
istook or Oregon upon Texas or Tehuantepec ;
let the burden of the cry
" Storm, storm, rifleman form,
Form be ready V
be just mentioned in those outlandish regions, and
every man would cock his rifle, pick his flint, and
open one eye for the enemy and the other forTen
nyson. And this is all poetry can do. After the
battle field, we might crown our poet with the
green wreath of eternal renown. But if Ameri
ca never gave a leaf to Philip Freneau, England
should certainly draw sword no matter for our
example and say, Sir Alfred Tennyson. Tfie
Century.
A Nice Question-. Prof. Agassiz, in his eu
logy on Ilumboldt, stated that the great savan had
loaned him fifty pounds to pay his expenses as a
student, and that the Professor, in after life, when
he could have repaid the debt, wrote to Humboldt
asking the privilege of remaining forever in his
debt, knowing that the request would be more
consonant to his feelings than the recovery of the
money," and, he adds, I am now in his debt."
This anecdote has given rise to several disquisi
tions on nice points of honor, and, however much
of the heart's poetry there was in the request
of Agassiz, we have heard a story that will bear
narration as a companion, or a contrast picture.
Years ago, when " Old Drake " was the Dramatic
Napoleon of the West, and had his headquarters
in Cincinnati, an actor by the name of Meer was
attached to his company. Meer having been trans
fixed by Cupid's dart, shot from a pair of fine
eyes, wanted to go to Philadelphia to get married.
Iiis funds being low, he applied to young Sam
Drake for a loan, which was cheerfully Granted.
Reuben for Meer rejoiced in the name of Jacob's
first born went East, and the next season brought
back his blooming bride. He was so engrossed
with his new domestic relations, that he forgot to
make restitution of the loan, until, at the end of
the dramatic campaign, drake reminded him of
the existence of a little document in the shape of
an 10 U. Reuben looked surprised, incredulous,
horrified ! For a moment he was speechless, but
at last the pent-up volcano burst forth in these
lava words : " Sam. Drake, I thought you was my
friend ; I have loved you as a brother. But all's
over between us, for the man who reminds me of
an obligation, cancels the favor!"
Which of the twain exhibited the most philoso
phy, Agassiz or Meer, is a question for casuists
to settle.
Turned to Stonx.. The Oxford (Miss.) Mer
cury, of the ICth insu, says :
The body of a young man, named Searcy, who
was buried four years ago on Hurricane Creek,
Tishomingo county, Miss., was examined the oth
er day and found to be partially petrified. The
hands, arms, legs and thighs bad turned to solid
stone.
(L7 There is a lady at Staunton so handsome
and ao proud that she says there is only one thing
in the world worth looking at, and that is a mir
ror. ' Married couple1 resemble a pair of shears, no
joined that they eannot be separated, often rooTin"
in opposite directions, yet always punishing any
one who cornea between them.
More Wonderful thah the Mammoth Cave
Dr. D. L. Talbot, in commencing a series of
articles for the Fort Wayne Times, in regard to
the Wyandotte Cave, makes the following com
Darison between Wyandotte and Mammoth Caves
Wyandotte Cave, one of the most extensive
and remarKaDie in me woria, is suuaiea m vian
ford countv. Indiana, about twenty-three miles be
low New Albany, on Blue river. I have called it
a remarkable cave. The Mammoth Cave of Ken
tucky has hitherty been designated as the greatest
known cave in the world. It may startle your
scientific readers to hear me assert the fact that
there is one stalagmite alone in Wyandotte Cave
more massive than all the stalagmites and staia
citites in Mammoth Cave put together. This cave
I have surveyed and mapped a distance of twenty
miles in length, and there are numerous avenues
I have never penetrated to their end, although
have visited the cave for scientific and other pur
poses, over a dozen different times spending on
one visit four days and nights within its darksome
halls.
The Mammoth Cave is distinguished more for
its vastness than its beauty the Wyandotte for
its great extent, its mammoth halls, its Jolty ceil
ings, reaching frequently to the height of two
hundred and sixty-seven feet ; and especially for
its numerous and beautiiul natural lountains wnicn
almost continually meet the eye in every direction
A portion of this cave has been known and visited
for over forty years. This portion is about three
mile9 in length, and is termed the Old Cave. In
1850, a new door from within the old cave was
discovered, which extended the caves united to
about twelve miles in extent In I8.3 a still new
er discovery of ingress was accidentally made
which has added eijrht or ten miles thereto, and
disclosed a clan of formations more extensive and
more beautiful than any heretofore known. This
cave contains every kind of formation peculiar to
the Mammoth and other caves, besides some very
peculiar and unique formations found only in y-
andotte Lave.
A Max Vindicates the Sanctitv or his Pew is
Chtrc-h by Whipping a Woman. Even church
members will allow their angry passions to rise
and their fists to fly into each other s eyes, in just
as free and easy a manner as sometimes happens
among the people of the world, lhis was exem
plified by a case before the Police Court this morn
ing. Among some of the female members of the
Methodist Church on Erie street, there exists
anything but sisterly love and benevolent feelings
On bunuay last one Mrs. Allcorn proceeded to
church, and from accident or design found herself
in the pew of Mr. Oscar Welsh. Nothing but
black and ominous looks probably passed between
the occupants of the pew at that time, but since
then Mr. elsli waited on Mrs. Allcorn, and
stated that Mrs. W. would in future prefer the
room of Mrs. A. in the family pew to her conipa
ny there. Mr. W. went on to give the i-casons
therefore, viz : that Mrs. . thought Mrs. A. was
no honor to the pew, and in fact was a mean worn
an. Hereupon Mrs. A. intimated that such re
marks did not breathe a Christian spirit, and that
if Mrs. W. thought so hard of her ' sisteren in
the church, then she herself was a mean woman.
The gallant Oscar's spirit was aroused, and he
declared he would slap her face if she said so
again. Mrs. A. s dander was up, and she did
say 60 again there now. Oscar, the valiant,
drew back and took Mrs. A. a " wipe " across her
44 mug in a very unchurchmanhk manner, ne
cessitating the application of a raw beef poultice
to the abused female countenance, furthermore,
Mrs. A testifies that Oscar then and there declar
cd Lis ability to ' wallop any woman in the State
ot Ohm. Judge Lawrence, alter hearing all the
parties in the case, came to the conclusion that
"The man who lay bis hand upon a woman,
Save in the way of kindness, is a wretch !"
that ought to be fined at least twenty-five dollars,
and he gave judgment accordingly. CUveland

iWe Reporter thus defines some of the puiuoeo
used in stock circles and by newspapers.
A Bull is one who buys stocks on speculation,
thinking they will rise, so that he can sell at
profit. It is to his interest to have stocks rise,
and he will resort to every means to bring about
the desired result.
A Bear is one who sells 6tocks on speculation,
thinking they will fall, so that he can buy in for
less money to till his contracts, it is to his inter
est to break down the market, and he will renort
to the most desperate means to accomplish his
object.
.4 Corner is when the bears cannot buy or bor
row the stock to deliver in fulfilment of their
contracts.
A Ihposite is earnest money, lodged in the hands
of a third party as a guaranty ; " o up, "10 up
etc., is the language expressive of a deposite.
Overloaded is when the bulls cannot take and
pay for the stock they have purchased.
Short is when a person or party sells stocks
when they have none, and expect to buy or borrow
them in time to deliver.
Long is when a person or party has a plentiful
supply ot stocks.
A flyer is to buy some stock with a view to sel
ling in a few days, and either make or lose, as
luck will have it.
A Wash is a pretended sale, by special agree
ment between the seller and buyer, for the pur
pose of getting a quotation reported.
