In assuming tho ownership and management of The Ohio State Journal, It has been the aim of Its proprietors to place it on such a basis, pecuniary and otherwise, as to Insure its permanent success and usefulness. All tho materials of the establishment have boon renewed, and in elegance nf typographical appearance, The Journal Is not surpassed by any of its colemporarles. The editorial chargo of' the paper lias been assumed by Henry D. Cooke, who has engaged tho sorvlces of experi enced and competent assistants In that department. It Is the design of the publishers to mako The Journal a faith ful, fearless and reliable exponent of Republican sentiment In Ohio and it Is hoped Hint their efforts will meet with libernl encouragement from the friends of Froo Labor throughout tho State. That It may bo worthy, in all re spects, of their hearty support, its conductors will constantly aim, not only to reflect and advocato Republican principles and measures, but to present til its columns complete and reliable Information on all questions of State and National Politics. Full reports of the proceedings of tho Ohio Legislature, and a daily telegraphic synopsis of the debutes in Congress, will be furnished, during the session, of those bodies. Complete and accurate reports of the decisions of the Ohio Supreme Court, will be published dully during tho stated terms of that Court. Each issue of The Journal will also contain the latest news, foreign and domestic, received by telegraph and malls, up to the hour of going to press; together with a complete Financial and Commercial summary, embracing Market Itcports, Railway and other statistics, etc. A due proportion of space will bo devoted to Literary, Agricultural and Mechnnlcul AITalrs, and to matters of prominent interest In tho Religious, Scientific and Artistic World. Iushort, thocolumns of the Journal will present a current epitome of tho Political, Industrial and Social Progress of the country, and especially of Ohio. Tho Journal will lie published, as heretofore, In Dully, Trl-Weekly and Weekly editions, upon the following TERMS I Pally, poryenr, Jo 00 Tri-Weckly, 3 00 Weekly, (single subscribers,) por year, - - 160 BsJ-I.N all cases Payment in Aiivance. Will our friends aid us in procuring subscribers and clubs ? Address utl orders to COOKE MILLERS, Publishers, Columbus, Ohio. Literature and Art. Mr. William II. I'rescott has returned to Boston with health improved by the fresh air and cheering influences of his country homo. The concluding volumo of his "Philip the Second'' is completed, and will be soon issued by Messrs. Phillips & Sampson. Mr. Irving is still busy with the fifth and last volume of his Life of Washington, his studies being perpetually broken in upon by unscrupulous tourists and Uterateurs. Mr. Cozzens, tho charming "Sparrowgrass" of pleasant memory, has returned from the Literary Congress of Brussels. Mr. Hawthorne is in Rome, and it is understood that a book may be expected from him in the coming spring. Dr. Holmes told the story of the heroine of his poem in the lust Atlantic, at the close of a lecture in Cbarlcstown recently. It seems that a little colored girl was brought to the State Industrial School for girls at Lancaster, in such a state of disease as to present a most revolting spectacleto all connected with the establishment. It seemed as if nobody would care to touch her, or could look at her without disgust and dread. Under these circumstances "Avis'1 volunteered to take charge of her, and did so night and day, "giving body and soul to her, as Dr. Holmes says, until she was restored to life and health. Mr. Canale, a Greek gentleman, resident in Boston, has translated Mr. Ilullcck's very spirited poem on " Marco Botzares " into his native tongue. The translation has been sent to Athens for publication there. We venture to say that it will be well received wherever the name of the Soulian hero is known. In our long delayed zeal for the purchase of Mount Vernon, we can sympathize with the few Spaniards who fear to lose their most cherished relic of Cameron. All things considered, Ual-dcron was the greatest of Spanish dramatists. A master ot his language when it was at its fullest and stateliest, wonderful in his dramatic tact and skill, rich in ideal graco and beauty, tender in pathos, grand at times, fanciful and sportive when occasion served, ranging at will and seemingly without etfort through all history and fable, yet intensely national and appealing to an intense nationality, his popularity was immense, and ho retained it till the close of 1 i to Till the present time, his house in Madrid has been one of the few shrines sought by the traveler of every faith and country. But lo ! a new street is, or is supposed to bo wanted. To the semi-barbarous government, the building once illuminated by genius, at sight of which so many bosoms have thrilled, so many pulses leaped with pleasure, is only nn incumbrance, something to be got rid of; and the edict has been issued to pull it down. An effort a feeble one will bo made to save it. May it be successful ! Tho story entitled "The Minister's Wooing," commenced in the Atlantic Monthly tar December, is the beginning of a serial novel from the pen of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. It is a story of rsew hngland Hie, and promises to be very in-tering.A correspondent of tho Boston Courier, writing from Florence, visited Powers' s statue of Webster before it was prepared for shipment. He stales that it was a noble figure of more than life size, representing Webster as standing erect, his left hand resting on a bundle of fasces, while his right holds across his breast a roll of manuscript. Tho costumo is modern throughout, and the dress coat is buttoned over the chest. I was greatly disappointed in tho head of the statue; it appeared to me a failure as to form, likeness, and intellectual expression. Instead of the noble, dume-liko brow, projecting so far over tho deep-set eyes that the most faithful portrait often seems otherwise to those who never beheld the man, the forehead in the statue seems actually to recede from its base to tho crown. Instead of the characteristic pose of tho head, thrown far back in a sort of proud, de fiant way, the head of the statue, tho whole fig ure, indeed, is qtuto too much advanced. Ihe statue was cast in ono piece; the bronze is quite different in color from that of the Munich foundry, being dull nnd muddy-looking. A unique and beautiful work is announced among tho holiday publications of Messrs. Itudd Ktarlcton, ot Boslon, in Air. hhuingrr s Illustrations of "The Courtship of Miles Standish.' The special peculiarity of these illustrations winch will be published in quarto lorm, sonic- what in the sumptuous stvle of Darley's "Mar garet" is that they aro photographed on a reduced scale from tho original drawings, which aro thus reproduced, even in tho minutest nm finest touches, with a fidelity altogether impossible in tho usunl process of engraving. This is quito a novelty in illustrative art, at least on this side of tho Atlantic, and under the masterly treatment of llrady, who prepares the pictures, the ctlect is as admirable as it is novel. Mr. Khningcr 1ms selected for his pencil, from "llie Courtship ol Allies Mandisli, what, we think, every reader would confess to bo tho most striking of tho charming pictures which stand out, as it were, on tho Imt-o text of thai poetic story of early New England. Take, fur example, such sccncs.as tho interview, with which tho poem opens, in "the rudo amiprimitive- dwelling" of Miles Standish, where the manly but bluff and boastful Puritan captain "Roasts of the brightness of his armor, and points out the dent in ills cuirass,'' to the graceful Btripling, John Alden, whose "hurrying pen is momentarily suspended" in the act of giving attention; or, where John Al-don is doing reluctant duty in tendering the niatrynonial offer of his commander to tho Puritan maiden, who sits at her wheel, with the Ainsworlh hymn-book open on her lap, and "feeding the ravenous spindle," just before she was prepared to astonish him with tho Ynnkeo response, (of courso an interrogatory,) "Why don't you speak for yourself, John?" or tho return of the Mayflowerto England from the bleak shores, tho town of "seven houses;" or tho apparition of Miles Standish at tho wedding of John and Priscilla, in tho rude meeting-house of the Pilgrims; or, (last and most richly charged picture of all,) the wedding procession of Puritan men, women and children on their way from church, preceded by tho group of Priscillu and her two lovers, marching ono each side of her Priscilla being mounted on the crimson-covered white slcer of John Alden, who leads tho animal by a ring in its uose, holding one of tho hands of his fair bride, who now feels safe in extending tho other to her former lover, the sturdy captain trudging gallantly at her side. These are some of the pictures in Mr. Ehning-cr's volume, all of which display most effective and finished treatment, and aro instinct with the sympathetic inspiration of a genius which fully apprehends and appreciates the purpose n ud sentiment of the poet. The costumes, furniture, nnd other accessories introduced, conform, so far as we can judge, to the requisites of historical verisimilitude. The three principal figures, Miles Stundish, John Alden and Priscilla, seem too perfect for improvement; and the oilier personages arc well portrayed, in appropriate though not so conspicuous relief. The grouping is singularly effective and graceful, and in the anatomy and drawing it would not be easy to suggest a fault. Mr. Eliningcr's work will bo published with the approval of Mr. Longfellow, who, in a private note, written sonic time since, expressed his critical approval of ono of the pictures (the only ono then finished) in tho strongest terms, and we believe that the thousands of readers of Miles Standish will, when they see it, concur with the author's judgment. The arlist has worthily aided the poet in throwing tho charm of romance "the consecration and tho poet's dream" over tho austoro annals of tho Pilgrims, and, as it were, creating (such is tho divino privilege of genius) a new heaven and a new earth tor the bleak and misty shores of the Plymouth of 1W0. Mr. Oeorge F. Wright, an artist of Hartford, has recently finished a portrait of General Pease, of Texas, which, aside from its merits as a painting, is particularly worthy of notico because it has been produced in a manner wholly original in every particular. Mr. Wright, who has passed much of his timo in Italy, claims to have discovered an entirely new system of coloring, tho effect of which must certainly be surprising, to judge from the encomiums of the Hartford Vcs, which says: "In living and sustained brilliancy of color, it is unsurpassed, if equaled, by any portrnit wo have ever seon. It is tho warm, glowing color of life; it is instinct with vitality; it a light seems, when seen from some points of view, to be, as it were, of an intrinsic character it rays out, in graduated shades of more or less dis tinctness, from all parts of tho face, as if a liv ing man stood before the beholder. This portrait will soon bo removed to Texas, to bo permanently deposited in tho capital of that State. Mr. Wright is now engaged upon a portrait of Bishop Brownell. Tho Album of Virginia, which has been for some time in progress, is now completed. It contains about fifty views of the scenery of the Old Dominion. Fewstntesof the Union possess such varied and attractive natural scenery as Virginia. Harper's Ferry, the Natural Bridge and the Peaks of Otter, are all points that offer peculiar attractions to the artist, lor tlioir wild' ncss and grandeur, while the numerous mineral springs of the state, with their swarms of gay company, allow a few social pictures, that form an agreeable contrast to the preceding. Mr. Beyer, a graduate of Dusscldorf, has taken most of the original sketches. A new print will bo shortly issued at Boston, the subject being suggested by the following stanzas in Whittior's "Maud Muller": "Maud Muller looked and sigheil! Ah me! That I the Judge's bride might be I" "The JudfeT looked back as ho climbed tho hill, And saw Maud Mullor standing still!" An equestrian statue of the South American "Liberator," Simon Bolivar, ordered by tho city of Lima, in Peru, has just been cast in bronze at Munich, Bavaria. It was placed on exhibi-bition in Munich about the first of November, preparatory to shipment to its destination. Tho statue is fifteen German feet in height and weighs 111 cwt. The model was furnished by the Homiin sculptor Tadolini, who, as a German journal remarks, "seems to havo designed it to suit the ideas ot popular sovereignty, now so prevalent in America. Tho Liberator, with his hat in one hand, is bowing respectfully to the people, in whom he recognizes tho sourco of all power." The horse is in a rearing position, but unlike other equestrian statues those of Paris, Dresden, St. Petersburg, Clark Mills's Jackson, &c, tho hind legs and tail are as perfect and symmetrical as any other portion of the animal. The whole is so nicely balanced that the most critical eye can scarcely discover how tho statue is fastened upon tho pedestal. Tho statute was cast in one piece, with the exception of the bend and legs of the rider and tho fore legs of the horse, which had to be detached to allow the transportation by land to Mannheim, whence it was conveyed by water to Amsterdam, whence it would start on its journey around Capo Horn to Lima. Tho pedestal is of Carrara marble, sculptured in the Renaissance stylo. Twoof the sides are ornamented with flower and fruit carvings; the third bears the Peruvian coat-of-iirms, with tho lama, tho olive trco and cornucopiic, and tho inscription, Republica del Peru; tho fourth side bears tho words, A Simon Boli var, Liherlmlor la Kacion Peruana. Anno l)i. MUCCCLVIII. The metal from which the statuo was cast came from Australia; when it reaches Peru it will have nearly completed the circumnavigation of tho globe. This statue was originally ordered three years ago by tho then President of Peru. The model was finished by Tadolini, and ready to send to Munich, when news was received in Tiomo that a popular revolution had broken out in Peru, de posed tho President, and declared his contract with the Roman arlist null and void. In tho summer of 18."7 tho Peruvian people "experi enced a chance;" tho unfinished. statuo of the Liberator was again thought of, and its cxecu tion and erection wcro considered a nutional debt, to bo canceled as soon as possible. Another contract was made, and thirteen months timo given for tho completion of the statue in bronze. The thirteen months have not quite elapsed, and on the fth instant the statuo started from Munich on its journey to Lima. Sneering nt Politics. Wo heartily indorse tho following scnsiblo remarks by tho Chark'stown Advertiser: Any man of decent information who sneers nt polities, deserves to be excluded from the benefits of good government nnd free institutions: Such kind of remarks are quito common nmong those who repute themselves wiser than their neighbors; but somo tolerably smart, as well as decently respectable men, have taken nn intorest in "party politics." To cast one's influenco in favor of honorable convictions is tho highest privilego which n frco man enn enjoy; and he who pretends to sneer at those who exercise that privilege, but forges arrows that sooner or Inter will bo returned and pierce the offender with a more honest contempt. I flkrtin Humboldt, now in his ninoticlh year, has been suffering from a scvero attack of influenza, but at the latest accounts had sufficiently recovered to resume the use of the pen. Religious Items. PREPARED rOR TIIK OHIO STATE JOURNAL. Wo travel through the world in doubt and uncertainty, sometimes hoping and anon almost despairing. Wo cannot see the future; we grope our way in darkness. It is amid this darkness that the Christian by the eye of faith sees light a light which must over remain darkness to the sensual and the worldling. As the pillar of cloud to the Israelites when they were pursued by Pharaoh and his host, it gives light to the camp of Israel, but is a cloud and darkness to the Egyptians. But though the Christian sees occasional glimpses of light, yet ho, too, is nt times enveloped in darkness and gloom. His hopes are buried with Christ, and ho waits until He, who is his life, shall appear, that ho may be like Him. "Who shall roll the stone away?" A writer in the Journal of Commerce thus uuswers : As they of obi, tho sainted Marys, hasted 'lojesus tomb before tho break uf (lav. Yet paused with faltering steps, and sighed deapairlng, ah: wuo lias strength to roll the stune away (' So do we hasten on with deep devotion, Doubting nuil honing, resolute yet weak. To the vailed glory in tho future lyinf? Urging us hi ill us shtnutjr nmetu seek. Before tho door of every enrlhly blessing Home stone is rolled, our hiniilless zcttl to foil; All that is worthiest of our aim and labor, Waits to reward our energy ami toil. And it Is well, for If our rah endeavor Could win at once the ripened fruits of life, Where were the richer fruits of pain and trial, Tho strength and greatness born of lnwurd strife? Where were the hope that hand and hand in sorrow, Serenely sings of filrer skies afar? Where were the faith, that through the deepening darknessWatches, unwearied, for the morning star? But, nh! the path Is hard, the heights are stormy, And pausing sometimes on our upward way, Wistful and weary we re-echo sadly, "Oil, who shall roll for us tho stono away?" Thou grave of promise ! from thy perfumed portals Floats a triumphant answer through the years: They who within tins' sat, In spotless raiment, Still speak, divinely healing all our fears; Snying, "Strlvo on for all that llfo can give thee Of go-id or greatness through thy fleeting day; Thine is the glorious toll, the high endeavor God s angels wait to roll the stono away !" F. L. M. The Bible ix Russia. The Czar Alexander I permitted the circulation of the Bible, and under his administration thousands of copies were distributed throughout the Muscovite Empire. Nicholas I did not agree with his predecessor. Surrounded by someMuscovito bishops, who disapproved of the propagation of the Scriptures, or fearing perhaps that tho circulation of the Bible would promote liberalism, this autocrat rigorously forbade this associa tion. It was hardly allowed to sell Bibles to Protestants; propagnndism in the national church was absolutely suppressed. Now tho Czar Alexander II has authorized the ro-ostablishment of tho Biblo Society. Ho even encouraged this work by a donation of 23,- UUU rubles, and is placed at tho head of tho an nual subscribers for a sum of 10,000 rubles. The Coinmitteo is preparing to circulate a mil lion copies of the Holy Scriptures, in tweuty-five different dialects. S. Rider, a graduate of Dcnison University at Granville, Ohio, has become pastor of tho Be-rcan Baptist Church at Chicago. The Christian Advocate and Journal announces from the complete minutes of the Annual Con ferences, the statistics of membership for the past year terminating, we tako it, on an aver age, at somo point in the summer of 1858. Tho total net mcreaso for the year, amounts to 132,953 of which 77,304 are "probationers' raising the entire membership to more tnan 950,01)11. The German Reformed Messenger says: "We are pleased toloarn that there has been a considerable accession to the number of students in the Theological Seminary nt Mercersburg. As nearly all the students had left at tho close of the last term, it was lcared that the number would bo unusually small during the winter term. There are, however, thirteen present, with a prospect of somo further accessions. Tho Methodists of Alabama have raised S300,- 000 as a beginning for an endowment fund for a University at urcensborough. A Politician's Ignorance or Scwpture. A Washington letter writer of one of the leading New York city daily newspapers, who evidently was not brought up in tho Sabbath school, compares the prospects of a prominent politician to (Joltah burying liunselt ueneatli the ruins ol Dagon's temple, and sluying three thousand of the l UiUsUnes: Christianity ix China. Tho American Treaty secures that "Any persons, whether American citizens or Luineso converts, who, ac cording to its tenets, peaceably teach nnd prac tice tho principles ot Christianity, shall, in no caso bo interfered with or molested." The English Treaty says: "Persons teaching or professing Christianity, shall bo entitled to protection, Sc. Ihe trench Treaty runs: "Mo obstacle shall bo interposed by the Chinese authorities to the recognized right of any person in China to em brace Christianity, and obey its requirements. without being subject to any penalty. Missiona ries to be unmolested, &c. Tho sweetest music is not tho peel of mnrri ago bells, nor. tender desennts in moonlight woods, nor trumpet notes of victory it is the soul's welcome into heaven.

"Come, come, come. ye blessed, enter ye into tho joy of your Lord! Wormy Pleasures. Pleasures, like the rose. are sweet but prickly; tho honey dolh not coun tervail the sting, all tho world s delights ar vanity, and end in vexation; like Judas, while tlicy kiss they betray.

Bishop llcnshaw, KHO. A religious lifo is not a thing which spends itself. It is liko a river which widens con tinunlly, and is never so brond or so deep as its mouth, whore it rolls into the ocean ot eternity The Hungarian Protestants. The Hungarian Protestants are again about to apply to the Em peror for permission to superintend their ow scliools, and to hold a Synod, but they do notnp pear to think attention will be paid to their pet ition. It is clear that there is some power irj the state which act s in opposition to the Imperial will, for it is on undeniable fact though nut publicly known that about a year ago the Emperor gav orders that the Protestants should be permitted to hold a Svnod. The freedom of tho Protestant Church in Ilungnry is not a concession of yester day, but aright secured to it two centuries and half aso bv the Emperor Rudolph II, (100(5 an 1008.) There are about threo millions of Pro testants in Hungary nnd Transylvania, and surely cannot be good policy to permit the Ro man Catholic Church toinfringcon theirrights. If Aust ria should be involved in a war with Russia, would she not be obliged concede to tho Hunga rian nnd Transvlvnninn Protestants that which she now withholds? Is it not bolter policy for a irovoriinicnt voluntarily to yield, than be oblig- cd by the force of circumstances to do so? Lon don Times' Cor. Present State or Moravian Missions. , meeting of tho friends of Moravinn Missions was rccontly hold in yuecn-stroct Hall, Edin- urgb, Professor Moro in the chair, to hear a atement lrom the Kcv. Al. La Trolieot lxmuon, ith reference to the operations of the United Brethren. The reverend gentleman, after glano- ing briefly at the history of the Moravian Society, referred to tho West Indies and the Arctic regions as the scenes of their greatest successes. Their operations bad been greatly extended with in the last thirty-five years. In lo22 they had 33 stations, to which were attached congregations amounting to 33,000 souls, under the care of 108 laborers, male and female. At present the number of stations was 73. 1 he congregations connected with these numbered in all 74,- 187, of whom 21,000 were communicants.

The poisoning of a hundred persons, seven teen of them fatally, by arsenic in sugar candy, at Bradford, England, has attracted attention to the adulteration with which nearly all articles of food wero mixed. The arsenic was not intentionally mixed with tho enndy, but another ubstancc, not poisonous, yet fraudulent and deleterious, was intended plaster of paris. Had the confectioner been honest the awful ca ll mil v would not have happened. Tho New York Post remarks upon the subject: In England the matter is taken up in earnest, and the confectioners will probably suffer se- erely lor their long continued course of deceit. ?coplo can do without candy very well, and will sooner deprive themselves of a trilling luxury thau run tho risk of being poisoned. It is seldom rue, that such catastrophes as that at Bradford occur, or that the evil effects of the adulteration of edibles are as palpably obvious. But who can tell how many children, both in England and in this country, have had their constitutions lowly undermined by indulgence in that Btuff which though sold by respectublo confectioners, is a pernicious and deadly cheat, and as surely, f not as quickly, poisons as the arsenic lozen ges of Bradford. Death of Judge Hart, Judge Samuel M. Hart, died at Lovelnnd, at four o'clock, yesterday afternoon, of the injuries received at the same place on the previous evening, when attempting to spring upon a train of cars in motion. His limbs wero shockingly mangled,andas his physical system wasdebilita-ted and its condition unfavorable, death was tho result. Ho was a very well known man, and was somo time since quite prominent as a politician nnd ns a lawyer. He was serving ns second term as City Solicitor. Ho was a public spirited man: nnd until an unfortunate habit impaired his energy and destroyed his usefulness, was distinguished for his activity, vigor and enterprise. Ho possessed many manly qualities, and there nro many who will receive deeply sorrowful impressions at the unhappy termination of his career. Ho leaves a largo and interesting family. Cincinnati Com. British View of an American Magazine. The London Critic has a genial nnd very com plimentary notice of the,4an(ic Monthly, in the course of which it says: To speak the truth, our transatlantic cousins aro running us hard in the matter of magazines, and bid fair soon to beat us in them os completely as they have done in chess-playing, yachting, and trotting horses. Difficult would it be for us, oven now, to prove that we havo a better magazine than The Atlantic Monthly; nor is it so much to be wondered at when we know that some of the best men in America Longfellow, Emerson, Holmes, Prcscott, Read, and Lowell are engaged in filling its pages. Hasty Marriages. Tho New York Tribune makes the following sensible remarks on the subject of hasty marri ages: There is not a city, there is scarcely a town ship, which does not number among its inhabi tants, women who have married on very short acquaintance, only to be abused, deserted, and lclt a burden and a life long sorrow to the fami lies in which they were born and reared, and which they most imprudently and improperly deserted to sharo the lortuncs ot relative stran gers. If young Indies would realize how gross ly indelicate as well as culpably reckless such marriages appear in the eyes of tho observing, they surely would forbear. A year's thorough acquaintance, with the most circumstantial accounts, from disinterested and reliable witnesses, of the antecedents from childhood, are the very least guarantee which any woman who re alizes what marriage is, will require of a stran ger. .ven then, it her parents are not fully satisfied as well as herself, she should still hesitate. Marriage is an undertaking which no delay can be so hazardous as undue precipitation. The Fortune. Tellers of New York. Docsticks, who has written a book about the fortune-telling impostors of New York, says that in visiting these sharpers he learned that every different planet known to nstrology was in the ascendant nt his birth ; that the descriptions of the wives promised him would give him full thirty-three spouses ; that he was born once every year from 1820 to 1833 ; that he had moro than twenty birth-places, and that when dead it will be necessary to dissect his corpse into very small pieces, in order that his earthly remains may be buried in all the places set down for him by these prophets. On ono occasion he visited, in tho disguise of a woman, " Madame Morrow," and was Bhown tho face of his future husband I "a bloated face, with a moustache, with black eyes and black hair; a hang-dog, thief-like face, nnd one that he would not pass in the street without involuntarily putting his hands in his pockets." This trick is performed with, tho magio mirror, a contrivance sold by any optician for a dollar and a quarter. Cure for Consumption. The following receipt for tho cure of consumption, colds, kc, is published by tho Cuthbert (lia.) Reporter, nt the instance of a minister of that jilace, who is informed that it is infallible. It is at least worth a trial: Take one quart of pure gin, one gill of fresh turpentine, just ns it comes from the tree, mix well and let it stand twenty-four hours, then add half a pint of clear honey and shako well. Take ono tnblo spoonful three times a day, nnd a cure is certain. Mr. Morphy, who is now in Paris, has been beating the Duke of Brunswick, Count Casnbi-anca, Count Isonard and the Princess Murat, at chess. In tho last number of tho Illustrated London Xews Mr. Staunton Bcouts the idea that he is afraid to play with Mr. Morphy. Ho reiterates the plea of literary engagements, and says that although a pawn and two moves below liis old strength, ho yctoffored to break a lanco with Morphy, in pure chivalry, inviting him to be his guest. This invitation ho says Mr. Morphy has never noticed. The subscription in behalf of the poet beggar, Lnmartine, amounts to seven hundred thousand francs, but because it has not reached two millions, the spoilt child of fortune threatens to quit France forever! Supposing the above Bum is devoted to the liquidation of his debts, Lamar-tine will still have the yearly pension of 25,000 francs from the Sultan, and an incomo of 8f,0()0 francs from his wife's fortune in all, 00,000 frnncs, or about $12,000. A very handsome re venue, even in Paris. A Paris correspondent of tno I'lnlndelphia Bulletin snys that the poet s in tcllectual faculties have become impaired. Prince Napoleon and Ihe Jews. It is stated in our European advices that severaljcws have been appointed members of the general council in Algeria, the Emperor and Prince Napoleon having come to the conclusion that it was useful and opportune to manifest, by an act of the government, that the equality of religious belief is absolute and complete in the trench law. Pnnco Napoleon is a son of Jerome, ex-King of Westphalia, and doubtless has imbibed something ol his liberal spirit toward the Jews from his father, who found them loyal and devoted subjects. Raised to the throne in 1807 by his imperial brother, Jerome then a youth of twenty-two found his treasury empty and tho salaries of the public employes Boveral months in arrears. In this emergency he applied to a Jew banker Isaac Jacolwon who loaned him 400,000 dollars. A few days after a Jewish deputation asked for an audience, and presented him with a loyal address, to which tho youthful monarch thus replied : "I like your address, gentlemen! That cluuso of my constitution which establishes the equality of religions is in unison with my own heart. No law ought to interfere with tho exercises of the religious worship of any man. Every sub ject ought to bo as free to observe tho rules of his faith as the King himself." And ho concluded by saying thnt he hoped ho should never have cause to regret that ho favored and protected the Israelites of his kingdom. . . This favor and protection was not merely nominal. Among tho Jews of his kingdom were men of ability, and hc.cmployed them in the public service. Both Catholic and Protestant Europe were scandalized and shocked, that a Christian king should surround himself with men who were guilty of being the descendants nnd disciples of Abraham. Says an English writer: "Tho Minister of Stale was a Jew; tho Councilor of Finances wns a Jew; tho Commis sary of War was a Jew; the Superintendant of Hospitals was a Jew; the Burgomaster was a Jew. Descended from such a father, who had the courago to defy tho prejudices of caste and the objurgations of bigotry, it is not surprising that the Governor of Algeria should have appointed Jews to office in that dependency of France. That they will be found faithful and efficient in the discharge of their duties, we have no doubt. Whenever the Jews have been treated with that consideration which is due to them as men, they havo in private life, shown themselves loyal citizens, and in public life, able and devoted ser vants. The Atlantic Telegraph Without a Cable. The Dundee (Scotland) Advertiser contains a statement of the results of nn nlchvmist with regard to an Atlantic Telegraph without, a wire. It says: 'This model consists simply of a trough filled with water, on each sido of which are two small copper plates, the plates on the ono side being connected with a common electric battery, and it is found thnt, without any wire, tho electricity passes through the valor and makes signals on the oilier sido, in, it is understood, the ordinary manner tho theory being that the copper plates on the other side guide the elec tric current in tho current desired. It may be objected that tho results obtained in this model would not be obtained on a larger scale. Mr. Lindsay for that, is our electrician's nunic has not been ablo to carry out such experiments as he yet contemplates; but some timo agohis system was tried at Portsmouth, and was found to answer perfectly across water of the breadth of half amilo; and if it answers fur that distance, there appears no reason why it should not an swer for any distance on the face of the globe." The Washington Correspondents. Washington City, just now, appears to bo be set even to a greater extent than usual with a highly imaginative class of newspaper correspondents and tcll-lic-graphic romancers, who flatly contradict to-day, without tho slightest compunction, pretty much all tho "highly important news" that was sent off the day before. This is an old infirmity of tho genus correspondent, however a chronic disease, wo fear, past correction, past cure, and the consequence is, that to "fib like a Washington correspondent" is come to be, with tho public, as much of a pro verb as to "lie liko a tombstone, or "to lie like a bulletin." But, the correspondent who would sacrifice truth for the sake of creating sensation or of distancing some rival in the marval mar ket, cheats tho public; and the money that goes into his pocket for it, is money gained upon false pretenses; hence, for all such persons, the re in tent iary or tho Tombs is the proper place not the Capitol ot Washington. A celebrated Englishman once denned "an ambassador" as a porson sent abroad to tell lies for the benefit of his country, and a "news wri ter" as a person who tells lies nt home for the benefit of himself. Thnt was thought to be a sar casm in its day ; but is it not now getting to be a truth? "Hasheesh" Eating at Princeton College Attempted suicide ora student. A correspondent of the Newark Advertiser, writing from Princeton, N. J., under date of the 24th instant, says: A tremendous excitement wns created here last night by the announcement that a member of the Senior Class, Mr. C. B., had made an attempt to hang himself. Ho had a few days before perused the famous work of Ludlow, entitled, "The Hasheesh Eater," and yesterday af ternoon, notwithstanding tho persuasions of his friends to the contrary, determined to experiment with this dangerous drug. Of a delicate constitution, the quantity which ho swallowed, although within that prescribed by the author of tho work, was productive of the most injurious results. Escaping from two of his classmates while under its influence, and imagining, as he himself states since his recovery, that he had been sentenced to be hung and appointed his own executioner, he endeavored with his neckerchief to carry out, his insane project, and would probably have accomplished this purpose had not the afore-mentioned persons, who were searching for him, discovered the body before respiration had entirely ceased. Ho was con veyed to his room, and through the exertions of Dr. J. S. Schcnck, who wns promptly on the spot, soon restored. A Singular Death. The Ogdensburg Journal tells a strange incident. The engineer of the 4 P. M. train from Potsdam, Thursday last, while crossing "Hoton Bridge," near Antwerp, observed a singular spectacle of a man hanging from one ot the beams thereof. The train was stopped and tho matter looked into. The man had evidently been dead but a little while. It was inferred that tho man, whilo crossing the bridgo, with tho strap of tho carpet bag around his neck, stumbled and fell. He pitched on ono sido of the beam and tho bag the other. Tho bag balanced tho man, nnd tho strap being strong and fast around his neck, there was no help for him, nnd in this singular position ho was found. There was no nanio about him that indicated his nanio or home, ilo appeared to be a poor wayfarer, and was probably under tho iullueuco of liquor when he met his mishap. Commodore Stewart. The Navy Department has received a communication from this veteran officer, avowing his intention of resigning unless ho is restored from his position on the retired list, where ho wns placed by the naval retiring board. In case he resigns, It is said that ho expresses n determination to return to the government sundry presents ho has received as tokens of tho appreciation of his gallant services in times past. Kissing. Mr. Johnson, a tinker of Brooklyn, N. Y., has been fined thfee dollars for kissing Mrs. Brown, keeper of a grocery on the same street, "without justification." We don't know about kissing married women, but all tho "justification" we want for kissing a protty girl is an opportunity and wo consider it worth more than three dollars to the girl. The Preacher and the Player. For ages it has been customary for the clergy as a class to denounce theatrical representations, as among tho devices of Satan to entrap tho unwary, and to entice souls into his net. During the time of Oliver Cromwell, when Puritanism was in Ihe ascendant, anil when long faces were supposed to be characteristic of the elect, the Theater was proscribed, it is well known only to be revived in all its licentiousness with the Restoration of tho profligate Charles II. At a later period, a clergyman of the Church of Scotland, the Rev. Mr. Home, wai excommunicated and deprived of his living, for writing his masterly tragedy of Douglas. Still later, the author of Fazio, Rev. Mr. Milman, has, with greater liberality on the pnrt of tho ruling powers of the Anglican Church, been permitted to retain his living, even while his tragedy has been acting on the stage. Wo arc not prepared, at present, either to condemn or support, without qualification, tho Theater, as it exists in the presentday. Whatever may bo the evils attending it, it cannot be denied that it is a great moral instructor, if rightly used; and if it be other than a blessing, when abused, we should like to know what human institution there is of which as much cannot be said. We recur to this subject more especially to notice a reply of Mr. Davidgc, the actor, to a sermon preached by the Rev. T. L. Cuyler, at the Cooper Institute, some time since, in which the preacher denounced the stage in round set terms. Tho player, by way of rebuking tho parson, quotes quito a long array of respectable authorities Pagan nnd Christian in support of the Theater, as a school of morals and a means of healthful recreation. Alluding to the reverend gentleman's reference to Marl in Luther, soothing himself by listening to the songs of his wife, as a menus of healthful and consistent recreation fit for a good Christ inn, the actor accuses him of something very like garbling, in omitting Ihe great Reformer's delenso of the acting of comedies, whereby, he says, "people arc admonished and instructed every way concerning their offices and avocations." But the actor gives even higher authority than Martin Luther, for at least a tacit acknowledgment of the morality of a dramatic author's writings, if not for the drama, when he says, it does not come within the limits of the preacher's "convenience to admit that Stunt Paul did not consider it unworthy to admit a verse of Euripides into the Holy Scriptures;" and he slyly hints tho reverend gentleman's object is evidently to divert the money expended into a more convenient channel, magnanimously permiting his hearers to indulge in open air exercise, which they can obtain for nothing The actor travels over a waste space of time from the first rudo attempts of Thcspis in speaking of tiie universality of the Theater .in civilized countries. In Greece, it prospered under tho writings of Eschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides; The early Christian Fathers wrote for the stage; and St. Thomas Aquinas even asserts that "these amusements were needed for the conduct of a well spent life." Nay, the drama existed at Romo, Athens, Jerusalem, Ephesus, and other places, nt the time of the Apostles; nnd although they rebuked all other conceivable vices, they said not one word against this form of amusement. Mr. Davidgo also brings the testimony of Dr. Blair, Milton, Addison, Johnson, Thompson, and the most illustrious of the literati, in favor of his profession, against the objections of (we quote) "the Mawworms and Cantwolls, narrow-minded bigots of a conventicle, soured by fnnaticism, who begrudge the congregations thnt flow into a theater, and think tho money paid to witness a well-acted play would have been better paid into their hands." Finally, Mr. Davidge draws an unfavorable . conl rast between tho characters of tho clerical body and those of tho horoes of the sock and buskin; for whilo members of tho former have been often convicted of crimes that disgrace humanity, hetnlls us no charges of heinous crime nre over brought against players. There are females among them, he says, who marry into the first families of England and America; and even in those cases where they make a lapse from virtue, the temptation is always from out-sido, and is only more noticeable from the individuals being more prominently beforo the publio than those who fall in private life. Mr. Davidge's rejoinder is sharply written, and full of the tu guoque; which it may be somewhat difficult to get over. Postmaster Fowler and the Pickpockets. Mr. Fowler's pocket was picked at the last meeting of the "Democracy" in Tammany Hall, and a package of notes and checks to the value of three thousand dollars taken, as well as ajquan-tity of money. Yesterday tho thief remitted tho papers, they being of no value to him; and Mr. Fowler expresses his satisfaction at the "accommodation."Droll instance of "honor among thieves"! A young lady at tho breakfast table was giving a lively description of her morning walk over the hill and field, and, in the midst of her happiest flight, expressed her regret that there was no pond of water in the neighborhood to hightcn the beauty of tho landscape. "In that case," replied the pragmatical professor in hearing, "we could have Some of these extra call drowned f Lord Lyttleton has replied to Paul Morphy's letter asking him to state publicly that it is not his fault that he cannot meet Mr. Staunton. Lord Lyttleton says nobody has imagined it to be Mr. Morphy's fault. He adds that he thinks Mr. Staunton quite justified, considering his literary engagements, in declining the match, but that ho should, in all fairness and consider-atcness, have told Mr. Morphy of his inability long beforo ho did. Pouting. As two children wero playing together, littlo Jane got angry and pouted. Jonny said to her, "Look out, Jano, or I'll take a seat up thero on your lips." "Then," replied Jano, cured of her pouts, "I shall laugh, and you'll fall off." Mr. Bonner of the New York Ledger, has, in his arrangement for the publication of the "Mount. Vernon Papers," only acted upon the suggestion of Judge Story many years since, that "fame follows applause where Evcr-elt goes." Louisville Journal. Louis Paulson, of Dubuqtio, Iowa, recently played fifteen games simultaneously, with as many difforent persons, nt Dubuque. The games continued nine hours, but were not concluded. In every game, however, Paulsen was ahead, and would havo won them without doubt.
