Or, shall she be gentle—a creature whose graces And virtues are homely ; whose principal pride Is honor domestic; whose happiest place is The hearth or the board of her guardian and guide.

I am not old, though years have cast Their shadows on my way; I am not old, though youth hath passed On rapid wings away ; For in my heart a fountain flows, Aud round it pleasant thoughts repose : And sympathies and feelings high Spring like the stars ou evening's sky. I am not old—Time may have set " His signet on my brow," And s .me faint furrows there have met, Which care may deepen uow ; Yet love, fond low, a ebaplct weaves, Of fresh young buds and verdant leaves; And still in fancy 1 can twine Thoughts sweet as fiowers that once were mine. Porte ntiocs ''Pome" £nd Prophecy.—A. P. L. Parin, Esq., the '■ pote " of the Buff a 0 Republican, salutes the heir apparent (which means, vci suppose, only apparently the heir) ot the French throne with the following sinister verses : "But wate. Yo 1 keep a putin On air?, aud bimeby some ofthe Frenchm'll Git mad, and not be afr-ule of the 100:000 Bayn ts which is raised to protect yon. and Sum will bild barrykades and ravenous Femailes and starvin nien'll tear down the Iron railing around youre boardiu house, (the Tooleries) and shriek bread, and vengeance _& blood iu youre six-pound ears, and Perhaps, some tall granny dear, fierce In his mustaohers and bitter in hate and A bilin over with revenge, will take you By the leg and knock youre bed on the stun Seeps ofthe pal: Force of Gunpowder—The Wilmington Explosion.—Some new facts of interest concerning this ^plosion have been made by Professor Olmstead, who made particular enquiry for scientific purposes, and read a paper on the subject before the Scientific Association at Providence. It will be recollected that the explosion was occasioned by fire irom the cigar of one of the teaih- atere, while the wagons loaded with powder were passing through Wilmington. Some ofthe phenomena were surprising : A splinter from a Venetian blind was blown through an inch board, making as smooth a hole as if pointed with steel. Metals were often displaced; the shoes wero torn off the officers'feet, castors from furniture, and hinges from doors, and a wagon tire was torn oBand straightened, aud cno piece left on a hill a quarter of a mile off. "Windows were destroyed for the distauce of more than a mile. Those near the spot wero burst iu, those further off had the nearer windows Durst in, tho others out ; those further off were ail burst out, A piano open near the spot was little injured ; one closed, further off, was burst open and nearly ruined. The effect on the animal system was to produce a sense of suffocation at first, and afterwards soreness of the throat, and even hemoptysis. Many were carried some fee*^ and dropped erect. A man on horseback was lifted out of the saddle and dropped iuto it again, 1 But the most wondrous effect was exhibited by three depressions where the wagons had stood. The one under the middle wagon was ten feet by five, and three- feet deep. It appeared that the earth (macadamized) had "not been removed but condensed. Prof. Olmstead knew of no instance of greater power, even in the great explosion of Brescia. where two millions of pounds of powder exploded. that equalled this. Iron water pipe3 were broken four or five feet under ground. Napoleon III.—Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, the present Emperor ofthe French, was born on the 20th of April, 1808, at the Tuilleries. His mother was Hortense, Queen of Holland, the wife 0! Napoleon's broUier Louis, to whom that kingdom had been assigned. The marriage of Hortense and Louis was most unfortunate; they did nothing but quarrel, and in September, 1807, they finally separated at Amsterdam, and Hortense returned to her mother in Paris. There the present Em peror was born, and it is remarkable that he and the King of Rome were the only two persons 0: the family of Napoleon, whose births were received with military honors and the homage of thi. people. There is ono circumstance connected with the fate of this family which historians have not ye* observed, but which is well worth mention. Napoleon the Great set aside his own best friend am] counsellor, Josephine, to oiuain an hvir to tht throne of France. He married a Princess of Austria, and by her he had a son. That birth was the culminating point ofhis power and his digui ty. From thence he did nothing but descend. He diedin^-exile—his sou also. Who succeeded to his name, his fame, his power? The childofllor tense, who was the child of Josephine! In thi person of the Emperor oi the French, we find noi the offspring of Napoleon tho Great, but the oil spring of his discarded wife.

This was Lieut. "Wrangle, who, somewhere about the year 1824, advanced by sleds across the ice from the northern coast of Siberia, due north to the open Bea. Lieut, (now Admiral) Wrangle took frequent soundings during the trip, and found the water shallow, with a muddy bottom. The climate became more moderate as he made north ing. According to his estimate of his position at the margin ofthe open Polar Ocean, he must have been near the parallel of 82 degrees north, 1 on which Dr. Kane waa when he saw the same Bea, almost on the opposite side of the Pole. Lieut. Wrangle concealed provisions in the ice as he advanced, which he cut out for supplies on his return. The party slept in lodges warmed by a spirit-lamp, which also cooked their meals. Their Bofferiiigs were n>t as great as those of the land parties that have gone out frcm the British exploring ships. "Mason and Dixon's Line."—Origin of the Phrase.—In the 17th century, james IL, of England, then the Duke of York, gave certain lands to Lord Baltimore and William Penn, aud a difficulty soon sprang up as to the proper owner to these lands on the Delaware. Again and again was the affair carried into the courts, till in the 1750, when George the Third came to the crown, the Lord Chancellor made a decision ; but new difficulties sprang up in drawing the boundary lines. The commissioners finally employed Messrs. Mason & Dixou, who had just returned from the Cape of Good Hope, where they had been to observe the transit of Yeuus. They succeeded in establishing tbe line between Delaware and Maryland, which has ever siuce been called " Mason & Dixon's line."—-V. Y. Dispatch. - -—-~—— • » » BS'" They tell good stories uow and then, of some Oj the members of the pious old orthodox stock in Massachusetts. An elderly gentleman of this class, returning home on Sunday from'"church; began to extol the merits of the sermon to his son. The following short dialogue tells the story: " 1 have heard, Frank,'"' said the old gentleman, " one of the most delightful sermons ever delivered before a Christian society. It carried me, to the gates of heaven." " Well, i think," replied Frank, "you had better have dodged in, for you will never have such another chance."'

Backhouse gives an instance of a woman having been chased by oue of these birds for so'tie distance and obliged to run to a house for shelter. Hewa? told by tlie wife of a settler that she was one da; struck bv the action of a horse in an enclosure, alloping rapidly backwards aud forwards,chaseo by two eagles. The horse at length fell, wben one of the birds pounced on its head; sho then Balled for the assistance of some men, who drove away the ferocious birds. In Van Dieinan's Land this species not unfrequcnily carries off living lambs, and is, in consequence of its ravages, much dreaded by the colonists.— White's Popular His tory of Birds. An exchange paper, the editor of which, no boub! hits lately "Bet up'1 with a widow, goes off thus: " For the other half ofa courting match, there is nothing like a young widow. There's as much difference between a damsel and an attractive wi dow as there is in cyphering in addition and the double rule of three. Courting a girl is like eat ing fruit, all is very nice as far as it extends ; but doing the amiable to a blue-eyed, bereaved one in black crape comes under the htad of preserves— rich, pungent, syrupy. For delicious comting, we repeat, give us a live ': widder." Kid Gloves,—Comparatively few of the im mense number of gloves sold as "kid," merit that designation. White dress leather gloves, both for gentlemen and ladies wear, are very frequently—indeed, most frequently—made of lamb^ ikin. Dark colored leather gloves are frequently made of lamb skin, dog skin, and calfskin—only high priced gloves being really made of kid skin It is stated that many of the Enest ladies' gloves are manufactured of rat skins.

The following ia a summary of the most important domestic news. Opinions GmJCBBSIng the Vigilance Committee.—A great majority of the leading presses in the Atlantic States exhibit a just appreciation of the recent action of the people of San Francisco. The N. Y. Herald expresses the prevailing senti- riient concisely in the following paragraph : It is difficult at this distance to judge of the motives and passions which may actuate the hostile parties in California. One thing Beems certain : there ia no good ground for collision between the Vigilance Committee and the militia. The revolution is accomplished; the vagabond influence is annihilated ; and were the Vigilance Committee to be disbanded at present, and the supreme power to be resumed by the Governor and the civic authorities, no mischief would seemingly he done.- We do not apprehend a collision; though if such a'thing did happen, it would certainly be a bloody ahd: a'memorable page in California history. Attacs upon Returned Califorkunb.—Bill Mulligan/ cne' cf a* iibtoi^us gang whom the Vigilance Com'mlttee'of San Frt^sco have expelled from California, made his appearance recently in this city, having arrived' on boaid the' steamship Illinois, and soon began fibndndting iff a * nner similar to that which cost hits banish"'me'nt from San Francisco. It appears that on Monday evening he met three gentlemen* at the Girard House who had recently returned* frihV CalifOtnia, and who, while there, are said to have been' members of the Vigilance Committee of San Francisco. On finding these gentlemen, Mulligan at dniie recognized them, and soon he prociiVbd'theaid' of one Hughes and two or three others of hisown stamp, and this gang waited for a chance to "'pitch into" the Vigilance Committee. Soon one ofthe gentlemen crossed the street from the hotel toward Hope's grocery, when Mulligan rushed at him and struck him a powerful blow. The gentleman, seeing the odds against him, and not wishing to s )il his hands by touching such a scamp, scampered off, and thus far has not appeared to prefer a complaint against the assailant. Some hours after this occurrence, Hughes, who keeps a rum shop up town, was seen walking arm in arm with Mulligan in Broadway. It is expected that a large number of the vagabonds who have been expelled from San Francisco will come to this city, and unless our police are quite vigilant will get the upper hand of them.—A*. Y. Tiibune. Appointments for California.—Tho President has appointed Wm. Blandlng. Esq., of San Francisco, U. S. District Attorney for the northern district of California, vice S. W. Inge. Esq., resigned. Mr. Godfrey, who was attached to Mr. Inge's office, has an appointment as Consul toGuayma*, and Mr. Inge is appointed to visit the City of Mexico to examine the records there in relation to the Spanish and Mexican land titles in California. He proceeds thither shortly, and thence to San Fran cisco. Mr. Gadsden, the U. S. Minister to Mexico, has returned to his post after a visit to his family in South Carolina, and au interview with President Fierce. The reported commercial treaty with Mexico has not yet;' turned up," but a new postal arrangement is more probable. Ex-Governor Bilger lias declined the appointmect of Minister to Sweden, which has been again tendered him by the President since his arrival from California. Col. Richard Fitzpatrick, of Florida, is appointed Secretary of Legation to the Argentine Confederation, and it is reported tliat ex-Governor Seymour, of New York, is to be appointed Minister to France, and that Mr. Mason will shortly return to this country, having signified, tothe President a desire to that effect. Brooks and Herbert.—-Phil. T. Herbert has been indicted by the Grand Jury of the District of Columbia and imprisoned to await his trial for the murder of Keating. The Brooks expulsion case comes up in the House on the ensuing week. His assault on Sumner is still under investigation by the Grand Jury. Martial Law in Washington Territory.—A resolution was adopted in the Senate July 1st, calling on the President for the facts in relation (o the proclamation of martial law by Governor Stevens. Gen. Cass stated that Governor Stevens, of Washington Territory, had proclaimed martial law there, and has arrested a judge of the District Court and sent him away some distance, thus closing the court. He did not desire to prejudge the case, but it certainly seemed a great assumption of powar. Political.—On the 3rd July the bill reported by Mr. Douglas,-from the Committee on Territories, for settling fhe affairs of Kansas, was passed — 33 voting in favO"? of', and 12 against it. The following are its principal features, as we find them condensed in the New York Herald : It provides for. the appointment of live Commissioners to be selected [-by the President] from different sections of'the Union, to represent faiily all political parties. They shall take a census of all the legal voters of the Territory, and make a fair apportionmentof liie delegates to be elected by each county to form a constitutioilj^nd iusti- fiutea State government. When the? apportionment shall be made, the Commissioners are to remain in session every day, except Sunday, at a place most convenifyi!*- for the inhabitants of said Territory, to hear all complaints, examine witnesses, and correct all errors in said list of voters, whicli list shall be previously printed- and generally circulated throughout the Territory, and posted in at least three of the most public places of each election district; and as soon as all the errors btivebeen thus corrected in said lists, the Commissioners are requested to cause a corrected list of the legal voters to bo printed, and copies furnished to each Judge of Election to bo put up at the places of votingy and circulated in every county in the territory before the day of election —no person to bo allowed to vote whose name does not appear on the list as a legal voter ; the election for delegates to take place on the day of tlie Presidential election, and the convention to assemble on the first Monday in December to decide, first, whether it be expedient for Kansas to come into the Union at that time, and if so decided, to proceed to form a Constitution and State government, which shall be of republican form. Kansas then to be admitted under such constitution on an equal footing with the original States. The bill provides further, that no law shall be eu- forcedinthe Territory infringing the liberty of speech, or of the Press, or the right of the people to bear arms, &c. It also provides punishment for illegal voting, or fraud and violence at elections, and authorizes the use ofthe military for that purpose. The main point is, that the persons designated by the census as the present inbabi£ant3: of the Territory shall decide all points in dispute at a lair election, without fraud or violence, or any other improper influence. All the white male inhabitants over twenty-one years of age are to be allowed to vote, if they have resided in the Territory three months previous to the day of election, and no other test shall bo required ; no oath to su p- port the Fagitite Slave law or any other law. nor any other condition whatever. Terrible Calamity and Loss of Life.—Reed street wharf in Philadelphia gave way on the evening of July 3d, precipitating a large number of peisons into the river, and causing the loss of about 30 lives. Fourth of July.—The national holiday was celebrated with the usual military and civic display.*?, and demonstrations of enthusiasm, on the 80th anniversary of that glorious epoch. The accidents in N. York and other points, as far as reported, are rather less in number and severity than in preceding years. Six steamers were destroyed by fire at St. Louis, July 2d : the St. Clatr, Paul Andtrson, Grand Turk, J. M. Stockwell, Southerner and Saranac. Loss about $100,000. A recent boiler explosion at Longwell, Canada, caused1 the 3eath of 38' persons. The Emperor of Brazil, a distinguished devotee to science aud literature, has been created an honorary member of the New York Historical Society. Th'e directors of the American Institute hold' their annual fair at the Crystal Palace, New York, from'Sept. 20th to Nov. 1st. Over 56,000'emigrants arrived in New York during the ten months preceding Sept. 1st, ol which 13,000 were Irish. 13,000 Germans, and 8,000 English. Walter James", a son of G. P. R. James, British Consul at Norfolk, had a difficulty with the ludi-' ana at Rice Lake,'Waupaca coUUfy, and mutilated several of ihem. The Indians are on the trail 61 James, and are likely to have their- i*eVen*ge. The Rhode Island Legislature adjourned July 1st. They adopted resolutions 61 amendment to the constitution abolishing the registry t&"sf authorising the General Assembly t<J' impose a1 jroil' tax, as a qualification for suffrage, and to fix the perdiem of the Legislature at twodollars. Tht-se resolutions will be submitted to the people on' the day of the Presidential election; and if adopted by a voto of three fifths, will become a part of the constitution of the State. A New Governor for Kansas.—Washington1,* June 26—It is rumored that Gen. Persifcr F. Sra'ith is to be appointed Governor of Kansas. California Financial Matters.—The interest on the Stale debt of California was not paid on the 1st inst. Mr. Bates, the Treafurerof the State, has assured several persons, in one c^ee as long ago as early in May, that the money for the interest had been deposited with Messrs. Palmer, Cook & Go., the agents for paying the interest.— We shall be glad to have a satisfactory explanation from this house which has thus twice brought the State of California to financial dishonor. We learn that hereafter Messrs. Wells, Fargo & Co. will be the agents for the payment of the State interest. The Bonds of California are much depressed. Of course, under this second failure to pay interest, after the ungrateful aud disgraceful' treatment of Messrs. Duncan,- Sherman &■ Co., who intervened on a previous occasion for the honor of the State, no one could be found to come for-^aTd this occasion. Wc understand that some drafts of Messrs. Palmer, Cook &. Co. on their agebt here, were protested yesterday.—N. Y. Tiibune. Congressional.— Judge Collamer made a minority report expressing objections to the bill of Mr. Douglas. A bill providing for the immediate admission o! Kausas as a free State, tinder the free soil constitution, adopted at Topeka, passed tho House of Representatives on the 3d of July, by a vote of 100 yeas to 97 nays, after having been previously rejected. The Free Soil party were greatly elated with its successful passage. Tho Fillmore men all voted againstit. Charles Griswold, of New York, has been appointed and coifirmed to be the Consul of the United States for the port of Manilla, Phillipine Islands. Thc Emigrant Road and Millitary Posts.—A bill appropriating 5200,000 for the construction of an overland road from Missouri to California, and the establishment of military posts along the route, has passed tne Senate by alarge majority. It will scarcely fail in the House, as all parties have pledged themselves to such a course in their platforms, although each is jealous of any advantage another ni'ay gain by its passage now. Military Defences.—A bill authorizing the issue of an additional number of arms lor the use of California, passed the Senate on tho 30tu June. Diplomatic Matters.—The decided action ol the British Government in favor of a friendly adjustment of the Central American question, and the retention of Mr. Dallas, remove all anxiety as to the preservation of peace'.between the. United States aod England,-and1 fully restore public confidence iu both countries. The British Embassy at Washington will be re-opened by Mr. Lumsley, Secretary of Legation, and a successor to Mr. Crarapton, may be cxpebted; in- a month, or so. Cnlifo-nilu I.am) C'lnlliis In Congress. The bill before the House, introduced by Mr.' Herbert and opposed by Mr. DenVi-r. proposes to' issue patents fo all holders of gi'anU in California,- the decree confirming which was iaKned' prior to' January 1st. 185GI- The Bolton & Barron (alias Santillan) decree tthe Claim inclird'tig about two- thirds of San Francisco) was dated ^ri^r to 1st of January, 1856, Thu d'edree cdntiriuirts the title" of ihe pueblo of San Francisco; wa^ not entered until subsequent to January M. l'8f>G, although the decision of tbeCqittW?ffldbefa was atindtiQced more' than a year pteviourj.' The deiree [Cr the Potrerb' title was entered prior"to January Est, 1856.which covers aboufr oh" half of San Francisco. In tbe Polrero Case the Cotnrrlissiohers convSye*3lan'opi-" nion- ihafi the grant was fraudulent, but that the' evidence compelled its confirmation. Tn the Bolton & Barron case the grant is impeached for fraud, involving perjury and' for scry,_ and" thia issue,' would be made before the U. S. District Cr,urt, and? was not done hitherto, as being (teemed unnecessary to insure the defeat of tiie claim. The result ot the proposed legislation ofOcnijrvess is'to give a' valid title tothe holders or the Bolton & Barron' claim, Messrs. Palmer, Cook & Co . ami their associates in Philadelphia, against the pueblo title, which has never been impeached for fraud. At least forty-six ofthe claims confirmed by the Land; Commissioners were notoriously fraudulent, and? based upon forge:.! ii'ipcrs. Thes'o are expected to' be defeated in the District Court. If patents are issued for all claims, without aw\iitiiig the process' of judicial determination, civil war must and will1 ensue. Yet the bill is likely to find a strong gap-" port in the lower House, and, under the outside' pressure, may become a law. EUROPEAN 1VEW8.' The laiest news is by the Royal Mail Steamship' Canada, which arrived in Boston on the 3'1 of July, teu days later than was previously received. The most important featui'e ofthe newsis"that there is now a prospect ol the pending difficulty between Great Britain and the Un'ted States being soon amicably adjusted. In the House 61 torch, Lord Clarendon stated' in reply foa question frbiri Lor'd: Derby, that it was not the intention of the Government to advise the Queen to suspend diplomatic relations with America. This announcement was loudly cheered.1 Lord Derby expressed his satisfaction, but said he regarded the Government's course as humili- tating. and an acknowledgement of error. Lord Clarendon appealed1 to'the House not to join Lord Derby in pressing the question, and the subject was then dropped. I* he funds immediately ro"*e inconsequence of the announcement that Mr. Dallas was not to bo dismissed. The Canada'hrio.'ss the fallowing news to'tho 21-st bf Jane.'

Pibileiit advices add'nothing to the informa'tidh, except that apprehensions of war are passing' away more rapidly than they arose. Tbe nomination of Mr." Buchanan has excited little attention, the (machinery of Presidential1 n'onimall'-m not'being gene-' rally understood in England. The leading presses,* however, discuss the matter. Baillie's motion in the House bfC'omhibhs, on American' difficulties, on which hopes cf a defeat and prohahlyresIghauohoFFiilm'erston wero founded, has been' withdrawn. Rumor says no'Minister will he sent fo Washing-" ton during Mr! Pierce's administration.' but this must be taken as a rumor only. Sir Edward Lyons is raised to tho peerage for services in1 th'e Black Sea, being the only peerage' manufactured from (his war. The Queen1 gave a' griiu'd bail ch the' evening of the 17th ; two thousand invitations were issued.' Mr. Dallas was present, Tho fountains 6'f fcyd'enham Palace' have been' opened; they excel those of Versailles. Prince Napoleon is visiting English' ports in a yatch. .-,.,..,. Collections continue in England' for sufferers io'' France by the inundation. The baneful ribbon system is prevailing extensively in the northwestern counties of Ireland, especially in Donegal and' Sligo. Owing to instructions from the government, the constabulary aro making great exertions to break up the confederacy ,-and uunrerotr's arrests'h'ave taken place in Done-' = ai- One day 21 persons were marched into Lifford' by the constabulary, and ccm'mitled lor Irial at the Assizes. France.—Napoleon is taking steps to have tho' Empress appointed Regent for her son. A pro1" ject of law on the subject has been sent to the Senate and debated with closed doors. It states that the Emperor is to attar:vfata majority at I'D' years' of age ; the Empress mother tn be the Regent ami guardian of her son during fits minority, but not to contract second marriage while it continues-".' In case of the Empress' death, the Regency to pasa to the senior Prince of France, then to othgi ces in order of hereditary succession, and failing tfrem'ai*l, to the Council of Regency appointed by the Senate.

A Bachelor'a Beverie,
How sweet when at twilight, in solitude sitting,
Tired, wistful, and dull, by my bachelor fire,
Cold reason a while her dominion remitting,
Gives wing to fond fancy aud foolish desire!
bride (hatshall bless me,
.all crown all the bles-
Then visions arose of th
If With !ov* Heaven 1
sings of earth ;
And while shadowy arras of beauty caros3 me,.
Fair dreara-childreit smile round my desolate
hearth.
My desolate hearth! All. when shall SHE cheer it ?
The wife of the future, my love that shall bo!
I long for its advent, yet know riot if near it
Or summer or winter be carrying me.
It m-iy be, alas! mv too catholic fancy,
Admiring alike the most vacjtlog charms,
From gorgeous Georgians to neat little Nancy,
Jl si yfaii to draff any of all to my arms.
My love! [3 she still in her nursury playing;
'Scarce free from the mild moral rule of the rod?
Or is she thewidowwhospft-teods have been laying
My poor predecessors to-day 'fteatfi the sod?
Mayhap she may come from
Where the pulsus beat hi
Aud kisses, bke
i fair and far land,
li in the sun of th<
aths his voluptuous
e hot t; the mouth.
Yet. likelier far, if haply I mate me
With one who in trial and joy truly shares,
Here, in the uext street, the angel may wait me-
My goddess descend by the first pair of stairs., !
Then, shall the be lofty, and lovely, and vain,
A beauty bewitching, capriciously kind?
Or shall she be little, and dumpy, aud plain,
E ichautiug alone by the charms of the mind*?
Or, shall she be gentle—a creature whose graces
And virtues are homely ; whose principal pride
Is honor domestic; whose happiest place is
The hearth or the board of her guardian and
guide.
Aid whore shall I meet her?—at luncheon or
dinner,
At pic-nic or card party, concert or ball 1
In some glad shady grove shall I woo her and Wia
her
Or gravely propose in an afternoon call t
Ah, foolish Almaschar! awake to be humbled
To thyself, though from visions of soberest birth !
Thy book, thy best friend from thy fingers hath
tumbled.
And the asheB are cold on thy bachelor hearth !
T am wot Old.
I am not old, though years have cast
Their shadows on my way;
I am not old, though youth hath passed
On rapid wings away ;
For in my heart a fountain flows,
Aud round it pleasant thoughts repose :
And sympathies and feelings high
Spring like the stars ou evening's sky.
I am not old—Time may have set
" His signet on my brow,"
And s .me faint furrows there have met,
Which care may deepen uow ;
Yet love, fond low, a ebaplct weaves,
Of fresh young buds and verdant leaves;
And still in fancy 1 can twine
Thoughts sweet as fiowers that once were mine.

Force of Gunpowder—The Wilmington Explosion.—Some new facts of interest concerning this
^plosion have been made by Professor Olmstead,
who made particular enquiry for scientific purposes, and read a paper on the subject before the
Scientific Association at Providence.
It will be recollected that the explosion was occasioned by fire irom the cigar of one of the teaih-
atere, while the wagons loaded with powder were
passing through Wilmington. Some ofthe phenomena were surprising : A splinter from a Venetian blind was blown through an inch board, making as smooth a hole as if pointed with steel.
Metals were often displaced; the shoes wero
torn off the officers'feet, castors from furniture,
and hinges from doors, and a wagon tire was torn

three depressions where the wagons had stood.
The one under the middle wagon was ten feet by

Napoleon III.—Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, the
present Emperor ofthe French, was born on the
20th of April, 1808, at the Tuilleries. His mother was Hortense, Queen of Holland, the wife 0!
Napoleon's broUier Louis, to whom that kingdom
had been assigned. The marriage of Hortense and
Louis was most unfortunate; they did nothing
but quarrel, and in September, 1807, they finally
separated at Amsterdam, and Hortense returned
to her mother in Paris. There the present Em
peror was born, and it is remarkable that he and
the King of Rome were the only two persons 0:
the family of Napoleon, whose births were received with military honors and the homage of thi.
people.
There is ono circumstance connected with the
fate of this family which historians have not ye*
observed, but which is well worth mention. Napoleon the Great set aside his own best friend am]
counsellor, Josephine, to oiuain an hvir to tht
throne of France. He married a Princess of Austria, and by her he had a son. That birth was
the culminating point ofhis power and his digui
ty. From thence he did nothing but descend. He
diedin^-exile—his sou also. Who succeeded to
his name, his fame, his power? The childofllor
tense, who was the child of Josephine! In thi
person of the Emperor oi the French, we find noi
the offspring of Napoleon tho Great, but the oil
spring of his discarded wife. What an illustra
tion of the truth of the adage—1'1 That it is una
ho proposes, but God who disposes!"

The Open Cikcuufol.iiit Sea.—The discovery of
the open Circumpolar Sea appears to have been
made by a Russian officer thirty years ago. This
was Lieut. "Wrangle, who, somewhere about the
year 1824, advanced by sleds across the ice from
the northern coast of Siberia, due north to the
open Bea. Lieut, (now Admiral) Wrangle took
frequent soundings during the trip, and found the
water shallow, with a muddy bottom. The climate became more moderate as he made north
ing. According to his estimate of his position
at the margin ofthe open Polar Ocean, he must
have been near the parallel of 82 degrees north,
1 on which Dr. Kane waa when he saw the same Bea,
almost on the opposite side of the Pole. Lieut.
Wrangle concealed provisions in the ice as he advanced, which he cut out for supplies on his return. The party slept in lodges warmed by a
spirit-lamp, which also cooked their meals. Their
Bofferiiigs were n>t as great as those of the land
parties that have gone out frcm the British exploring ships.
"Mason and Dixon's Line."—Origin of the
Phrase.—In the 17th century, james IL, of England, then the Duke of York, gave certain lands
to Lord Baltimore and William Penn, aud a difficulty soon sprang up as to the proper owner to
these lands on the Delaware. Again and again
was the affair carried into the courts, till in the
1750, when George the Third came to the crown,
the Lord Chancellor made a decision ; but new
difficulties sprang up in drawing the boundary
lines. The commissioners finally employed Messrs. Mason & Dixou, who had just returned from
the Cape of Good Hope, where they had been to
observe the transit of Yeuus. They succeeded in
establishing tbe line between Delaware and Maryland, which has ever siuce been called " Mason &
Dixon's line."—-V. Y. Dispatch.

They tell good stories uow and then, of some Oj
the members of the pious old orthodox stock in
Massachusetts. An elderly gentleman of this class,
returning home on Sunday from'"church; began to
extol the merits of the sermon to his son. The
following short dialogue tells the story:
" 1 have heard, Frank,'"' said the old gentleman,
" one of the most delightful sermons ever delivered before a Christian society. It carried me, to the
gates of heaven."
" Well, i think," replied Frank, "you had better have dodged in, for you will never have such
another chance."'

Backhouse gives an instance of a woman having
been chased by oue of these birds for so'tie distance
and obliged to run to a house for shelter. Hewa?
told by tlie wife of a settler that she was one da;

Balled for the assistance of some men, who drove
away the ferocious birds. In Van Dieinan's Land
this species not unfrequcnily carries off living
lambs, and is, in consequence of its ravages, much
dreaded by the colonists.— White's Popular His

An exchange paper, the editor of which, no boub!
hits lately "Bet up'1 with a widow, goes off thus:
" For the other half ofa courting match, there is
nothing like a young widow. There's as much
difference between a damsel and an attractive wi
dow as there is in cyphering in addition and the
double rule of three. Courting a girl is like eat
ing fruit, all is very nice as far as it extends ; but
doing the amiable to a blue-eyed, bereaved one in
black crape comes under the htad of preserves—
rich, pungent, syrupy. For delicious comting,
we repeat, give us a live ': widder."
Kid Gloves,—Comparatively few of the im
mense number of gloves sold as "kid," merit
that designation. White dress leather gloves,
both for gentlemen and ladies wear, are very frequently—indeed, most frequently—made of lamb^
ikin. Dark colored leather gloves are frequently
made of lamb skin, dog skin, and calfskin—only
high priced gloves being really made of kid skin
It is stated that many of the Enest ladies' gloves
are manufactured of rat skins. How many a deli
cate lady would shudder at the idea!
