The Lost Fly of Summer.
Tis the last fly of summer.
Loft buzzing alone;
All its black-legged companions
Are dried up and gone.
Not one of its kindred,
No biue-botlle nigh,
To sport 'mid the stigavs,
Or in the milk die.
I'll not deem tbee, thou lone one,
A victim to be :
Since the rest have all vanished,
Come dine you with me.
Thus kindly I scatter
Some crumbs of my bread!,
Where ihy mates on tbe table
Lie withered and dead,
But soon yon will perish,
I'm sadly afraid,
For (he glass is at sixty,
Just now, in ihe shade.
When wasps have all vanished,
■ And blue-bottles flown,
No fly cau inhabit
This bleak world alrne.

We are little airy creatures,
All of dillerent voice  and  features

And 'ho fourth a box within.
If the lilth y«u should pursue,

Everything that relates to the historical labors
of the late William II. Prescott is of general late
rest. AVe ha\e, therefore, prepared a somewhat
minute sketch of fhe method of preparation an.
composition adopted by the deceased, by which h
was enabled to overcome his impaired vision, and
to place bis name among historians of the very
first rank. Mr, Prescett, it is well known, though
not blind, was affected with a disorder ofthe b*
of the eye, so that he was wholly incapacitated fur
reading and writinu in the ordinary ways. Ee
was exceedingly systemaiic in his mode of life, aed
devoted five hours out of the twanty-four to hi^
historical labors. Alter breakfast he listened for
nu hour to some light reading, a Hovel poem, or
other entertaining book. He then walked for an
hour. At ball-past ten o'clock his secretary came
to his study aud remained till tw. Ive o'clock. An"
other walk of an hour was then taken, after rhich
he went to his study and lemalned another 'hour
and a half with hi* secretary. After dinner iiirh,
reading was agaia resorted to, and . I six o'clock
the secretary returned and remained until eight.
Tbis routine of w»rk and lessure wai very rigidly-
observed throughout the season, during tha yoiyr:..
devoted to the preparation of his elaborate volumes.
Mr. Prescott's mode of writing history was thi;; :
we will take, for example, his last work. "Philip
books and manuscripts relating to tbat r-onareb,
which he had been yesrs in collecting, at an expense of many thousand dollars. They numbered
three or four hnndred printed volumes of r.'.l tizes
There were also some tweuty thick folios of mr,nu
scripts, richly hound, which probably coet more
than all the rest of the collection, though Home ef
the printed works are exceedingly rare and valuable—the libraries and bookstores of all Western
Europe, from Cadiz to Amsterdam, having been
ransacked by agents in search of everything that
could throw light on ths history of Philip the Second. Except dictionaries and other works of reference, books not specially relating to the subject
iu hand were excluded from tbe study.
With his materials thus gathered about him, the
ITistorian commenced his work. The Secretary
first read the only English history ofthe King and
his Reign. Notes and obsesvations were dietated
as they were suggested by the book. Having
freshened his recollections by hearing this volume
read, Mr. Prescott proceeded to examine tbe treasures he had oollected. Each book was take* from
the shelf iu turns by the Secretary, who read aloud
its title, its table of contents, and a few pajjes by
way of specimen of its style and character. Notes
were taken while this examination was going on
which were preserved for future reference. Ofthe
three or four hundred volumes, a great majority
of course proved worthless, bring either merely
repetitions, or compilations or translations of preceding aufhors, or else, if origins!, without authority. The number ef books of real value would be
thus reduced down perhaps to a hundred.
Tbe huge folios of MSS. were next attacked.—
These had been examined by a competent person
wbo prepared a careful digeBt aud table of con'
tents. The Secretary read this, and notes were
dictated as he proceeded. Having thus as it were
taken an account of slock, and ascertained the gen
eral character ot his materials, they were next in'
spec ted i a detail in the following manner: The
first chapter of Philip tbe Second contains an account or the abdication and last days ol his father
and predecessor, Charles the Fifth. Tbe Secretary fathered round him every volume, printed or
MSS., wbich contained anything about the last
named monarch. The books are io the English,
French, Spanish, Italian and Latin languages.—
One by one they were read aloud, and copious
notes were dictated. AV'hen everything tbat rela
ted to Charles the Fifth had thus been persued
and noted, tbe historian began to compose his
work, or, more properly speaking, to write it—
for the process of composition had of course been
going on iu his mind during these prepartory
labors.
The apparatus used hy Mr. Prescott consisted
of a frame the size of a comnon eheet of letter paper, with brass wires inserted to correspond with
the number of lines marked. This carbonated pa
per was used, and instead of a pen the writer em
ployed a stylus with an agate point. The great
difficulty in the way of a person's writing in the
ordinary manner, whose vision is impaired, arises
from not knowing when the iuk is exhausted, and"
moreover the lines will be run into one another.—
Both difficulties are obviated by the simple arrange
ment just described. Tbe pages was writteu by
Mr. Prescott were copied by the Secretary, and
read, lhat such interlineations, alterations'and
amendments might be made as were needed. The
materials Ibr the second chapter, on the early life
of Phillip, were next taken up, a»d the same pro-
eel's repeated, until the volume is ready for tb
printer. About six years were devoted to the first
two volumes of Philip the Second, including
preparatory studies. These volumes appeared in
1855. the third of theserieswas issued within a few
weeks, and it is understood that tbe fourth is con.
siderably advanced.
Tbe Hon. George Bancroft, in an eloquent tri
bute to his friend, before the New York Historical
Society, thus referred to the studies and systematic habits of Mr. Prescott. ; "His habits were me'
tbodically exact ; retiring early and ever at the
same hour, he rose early alike in winter and in
summer at the ,-ppointed moment, rousing bimsel
instantly, though in the soundest sleep, at the first
note of his alarm hell ; never giving indulgence to
lassitude or delay. To the hours which he gave to
Lis pursuits he adherred as scrupulously as possible, never lightly suffering them to be interfered
with ; now listening to hia reader ; now dictating
what was to be written ; now using his owu eyes
sparingly for reading ; now writing by the aid of
nimple machinery devised for those who are in
darkness; now passing time in thoughtfully re.
voling his great theme.
Tbe excclleuce of his productions is, in part,
transparent to ev«ry reader. Compare what he
bas written with the most of what others bave led
on the name subjects, and Prescost'B superiority
boams upou you from the contrast. The easy flow
of his language, and the faultless lucidity of his
style, may make the reader forget the unremitting
toil which the narrative has COBt; but tbe critical
inquirer sees everywhere the fruits of invesfiga
tion rigidly pursued, and an impartiality aud
soundness of judgment, which give authority to
every statement, and weight to every conclusion.'1
Mr. Prescott's library was adorned witb striking
portraitu of Ferdinand and Isabe la—of Columbus
—ol Don Sebastian. King of Portugal—and ofthe
mosl ol the characters that figure in his histories-
He possessed original letters of Ferdinand. Isabella and Charles V.. and a piece of lace from the
nhroud of Cortec. The hiBtorion did not usually
write in his library, bat in a small room over it,
made very light to meet tbe wants of one whose
sight was imperfect. When fully prepared to
write, Mr. Prescott's daily task would average
abeut seven pages of oue his printed volumes.—
Most persons with perfect vision would complain
if they were daily compelled to copy leven pages
from those charming books.
Tbe thirteeu volumes which comprise Mr. Free.
cott'c works are noble monuments to hie life ol
labor and Btudy. With a knowledge of tbe fac:s
concerning their preparation, as above given, wbo
will not say all honor to the memory of -he man
whose patient toil, careful training, rare scholar
ship, and heroic devotion, produced the Historie!
of Ferdinand and Isabella, the Conquests of Mexi
co and Peru, and th.-Reign of Philip the Second

from the Vickehorg (Miss ) Sun.
A few day3 ago * company  of gc«.tV^*nn  were
-  -        ■'    — -■  -■—    Iwl-Sfa   Vieks-
bupg and Memphis, on the steamer Antelope.    In
the crowd wa* a politician oi threat notoriety, particularly ia the State of Mississipi, who was elo
quent aod incessant in his advocacy of Judge
Doughs for the Presidency ; " Every position of
Douglas was Democratic, every pulsation of his
heart Southern, every element of hie nature Con-
.titutiocal nnd conservative, all the leading states"
ireti and politicians ofthe South and AYeat were
ardent admirers, etc. etc. During this auimated
panegyric upon the perfections of the "Little GL
ant," all the gents of the cabla had congregated
around the " intemloable talker," some asking one
question aud some another, all of which was answered by the statement of facts all " certain per.
xonal knowledge" of the speaker, when one gent
asked, " How 1 Kentuck upon the Douglas ques"
tion ?" The speaker turned to hiic with an a r of
great dignity and a peculiar expression of countenance, as much as to say, "there I am at home"—
replied. Kentucky, Sir, is right, and to my cer
tain knowledge, every prominent politician in the
State is in favor ef Douglas. I have very lately
been in Kentucky and conversed with every member of Congress, and every one (and particularly
Dr. Peyton, the most prominent of them all.) is in
favor of Douglas."
A very One looking, quiet stranger, who had
beeu listening without saying anything appeared
struck with the last remark, and asked the speaker
if he understood him to say that Dr. Peyton was a
Douglas man—" Oh, yes," he replied, " I know him
intimately, and within the last four weeks he has
assured me of the fact." The stranger rose up
and spoke as follows : ,; Sir, I ara Dr. Peyton, the
uiber of Congress referred to,and though I have
heard much of you, I have never had the honor oi
your acquaintance or of speaking to you until now,
and no far from being a Douglas man, Sir, I am
against him all the way from h—11 to Halifax.—
Nor is there a prominent mau in Kentucky for h'nn
except. Mr. Dixon, who It in favor of a new party."
The effect ot this reply can be better imagined
than described. The shout that went up from
that crowd made the Antelope tremble. The
Douglas orator in^fead of melting down into his
boots, turned towards Dr. Peyton, and rem-irked.
■ ' Are you Dr. Peyton, sir I most happy to see you,
sir—delighted to make your acquaintance, sir .
think I ouce saw, you, sir, when I was in the Senate, ahem 1" F. culled all hands to take a drink
and amidst the most terrific guffaws they all drank,
" health to Dr. Peyton, and confusion to Douglas
and his schemes fbr the Presidency."

Mid S«B l>iego, is now prepared to execute all orders with which he may be favored.
The pub.ic are awaru that it has been the study of
-eientiiicmeii, architects and builders, for many years
I ft disposer au article for Rootbig purposes, that will
■vkhstaui sudden char.ges ot climate, be impervious
to water, and of sure protection against fire. The
■■ nventor of this roofing labored many years to commie articles which would answer the above purpose
■laid, obviate the dilficildes of rust, and decay attend-
-uu upon tin aud shingles, and the destruction, by
Lhe ,suii and fros' of the various compositions US.;d
tor roofing. This he succeeded in doing, and now,
utter six years of the severest trial we would invite
the careful attention of all interested in such matters,
believing that they will be fully convinced of its
practical value both for durability and economy, in
which respects we believe that its equal is not at
present known. This roofing can readily be applied
to roofs ot ever? description, either steep or flat, ..nd
can be put on over shingles oi tin, being much cheaper than the first and at half the cost of tlie latter,
fwo coats of tha mastic pat on aver'an old leaky
tin roof, will nv.ke it as good as new at one-third of
the cost. In preparing this roofing a heavy drilling
or canvass is used, which is thoroughly saturated
with a perfectly water proof preparation-? after which
It receives a thick coating, upon both sides, of the
flour of soapstonev which sets into the texture ofthe
canvass, and gives it a firm body, making it very
elastic and durable. After the canvass, as prepared,
is put upon the roof, another coating cl mastic,which
is thoroughly filled with sand, is given it. making it
fireproof in every respect. By exposure, this coating becomes firm and solid, giving you a roof that
can be walked upon with perfect impunity, and as
durable as am thing known; and we do most candidly
nnd uuhcsitatimrlvbelieve. far superior to anything
of the kind yet discovered ; and alter a sev.-re lest
Ot many, yea.rs, stand as reliable and good as when

Baltimore. March 4.— Since Mr. Bolts returned -
here from his Northern  tour, there bas been two '
caucuses of the Soulhern American members of
Congress, for tbe purpose'of arranging for the
election of Speaker in the next House.
One was at a private residence, the other at the
American Club Room.    Such Americans as Morris '
of Pennsylvania, and Clawson of New Jersey, were "
invited.    Ezra  Clark,  of   Connecticut,   was  also '
included   in   the invitations,  though'his coufss
in running as independent candidate  to elect m
Democrat was canvassed and censured, though Mr.
Humphrey Marshall is reported as having been his
principal adviser iu doing so.
I understand it ia the decision of the American*
to demand tlie Speaker, and to yield all the other
officers of the House to the Republicans.
If the Republicans refuse the demand, the Amer- '
Scans will take the first opportunity to secure an
election by plurality, and give the SptfttStt W'the
Democrats, and under tbe arrangements with them
the Americana will have a certain share of subor-1
d nate officers.

between P.P. Lander and Wm. Magraw. The
latter was appointed Superintendent of the Great,
Central Wagon Road, aud the former was engineer
of the expedition. SfSRfaw abaridomja tlie enterprise and joined Col. Johnston's forces. Recently
Magraw has been removed, and Lander appointed
Magraw. but the affair was rettled without a fight
To-night Magraw attacked Lander with a sluuc-
sbot, and struck him several times, wounding liim
severely about the head. Lander rallied and
threw Magraw, and would have punished him severely, if not falally, had lie nol been taken off'
when he exclaimed—-' 1 am a M ist-ucbusetts man.

and he refuses to tight me, aud be aflsft U. me thofl

Lander was couyeyed to bis lodgings badly wounded.   Tbe latter belongs lo Salem, Massachusetts.
