Earl Russell's second letter on Ireland con tains the following passages: In my former letter I bad to notice a gross personal attack made upon me by a Secretary of State, before my publication appeared, and I thought myself entitled to return the blow. At present, I am glad to haTO no such attack to resent But I can not forbear to notice that General Feel, on April 2nd, mode a bit ing jest on the party to which I have the pride to belong. "The liberal party have been referred to," he said, "as the engineers and pioneers who clear tnc roaa, out I raiuer iook upon mem as guide-posts, which point out the road and a very bad road it often is but who never advance one inch themselves."

Charles Ulrica, the notorious and accom plished counterfeiter, In the United States Court, yesterday, pleaded guilty, after with drawing bis first plea of not guilty," and was sentenced to the Penitentiary for twelve yeare. He ts regarded by the United States authorities as the most accomplished and dangerous counterlclter in tnc conntry. ills detection and conviction at this lime arc mainly dne to the efforts of Cob Wood, Chief United States Detective, of Washington, now In this city. Charles Ulrlch was born In Westphalia, and received a liberal education, but early In life developed remarkable talents as a draughts man. He is about thirty-three years old. At the commencement of the Crimean war he went to England, and joined the royal rifle brigade as draughtsman, served throughout that warfaltbfully, and received an honorable discharge. He then came to tbls country, and settled In New York, where ho com menced the business of an engraver, and car ried it on for two years successfully, having realized enough to purchase a nice little resi dence in that city, which one of his wives now enjoys. Ulrlch commenced extensive counterfeiting about two or three years ago in New York, and made as much as $30,000 on United States bills, according to his own statement. The authorities soon discovered a connection between his establishment and the most expert counterfeiters, and thence forth his course was precarious and down ward. He was arrested In New York first, and imprisoned, but escaped before trial. lie was arrcsica next in uacuaa uy ine United Statu authorities, but before being broncht Info the States broke jail In Toronto and escaped. Knowing bis daring character, special watch was kept upon his actions, even to calling him every half hour during bis connnement mere, dui in spito oi tue pre caution he succeeded In outwitting his keep ers and effected bis escape Willi a shoe maker's awl picked up in the eboeebop of the jail, Ulrlch made a graver, and with it fashioned a key for bis cell ont of the iron hoops of the slop-pail. He made a rope of his blanket, scaled tbc jail walls, and escaped. When he reached the Niagra River the officers were on bis heels, lie crossed mat liver a little above the falls in a lickety skiff, and came near being drifted Into the Irresistable current a little above where It takes its fear ful leap. He made for this city, and com menced or continued operations as a manu facturer and dealer in counterfeit United States bank bills. While serving out a term in the Sing Sing Prison, New York, he contracted an intimacy with the jailor's sister-in-law, and when re leased' married her, having at the same time a wife living. About that time be became acquainted with James Colbert, an English boxer, who keeps a "crossman's" den in New York, and through him with Mary Brown, a shrewed German! girl living at Colbert's house. The value of Ulrlch as a counterfeiter was recognized at once by Colbert, and he kept him close at work on I plates, allowing no one to nave access lonim. Ulrich Is a good-looking fellow, and soon won the favor of Mary Browu, who reci procated his allection Dy communicating ma alias Harwood. a notorious New-York coun terfeiter, and he, In conspiracy with Mary Brown and Kate Gross, took Ulrlch into full companionship ana started Hesiwaru, in pursuit ol lortunc, on tneirown response blhtv. Ulrich'a original wife came with him, and tbc entire party arrived In this city, 'lhey rented a tv o-storv frame house at Clevea, in this county, and set to work issuing $100 counterfeit bills. .Mrs. Ulrica was sent oacK to New-York as unnecessary, and the adven turous Charles mado love to a pretty German gtrl in this city, then living witn ncr iatncr, an industrious tailor over the Rhine." To make a long story short, he married her and set her to worK snoving me new -nun dreds." Marv Brown not realizine sum clentiy from the business, suspected Burdcll of treachery, and tent Kate Gross to Phila delphia to act as the Eastern agent lor me new "hundreds." of which she procured any quantity from Ulrich on the scoro of their hrst love. Col. Wood was watching the opera tions closely, and discovered at last that the counterfeit mouey reached Philadelphia irom umcinnau turougu Auams express Company, and accordingly put a detective In the Cincinnatfofflce to watch the forward ing operation. Burdell was arrested, first, and kept in the room of a hotel for 'some time. Ulrich turned up next, was arrested and also taken to tbc hotel. He made a partial confession, and promised to tell where the plates were If bis wpmcn were allowed to go Unpunished as accomplices. Ulrich was taken to New-York on promise of the authorities to do so. lie was then transferred to Brooklyn, but escaped to Canada, and passing, through there, as al ready shown, reached Cincinnati a second time. He was betrayed here by his women, who, with that unaccountable perversity of de praved feminine nature, cling to the object of affection and seek at the same time to destroy It, Ulrich made frequent attempts to break jail here, the last only tbc night be fore last. He succeeded in procuring small files and had cut through his window-bars and unscrewed the nuts on the hinges of his cell door before being discovered. From all accounts Ulrich is the counterfeiter of, the Seven-thirty bonds, about which there was such a pow-wow In Washington some time ago, and it Is believed that he has made more plates than any other five counterfeiters in the country, lie is highly intelligent, with agreeable and plausible manners, cool as a steel trap, and always sclf-pussessed and ready. It would be difficult to say who is most entitled to credit for his detection, but with it the great gang of large counter feiters in the country is broken up, and will cease from worrying until an equally bold spirit arises to reorganize them, if, indeed, Ulrich docs not again escape and pursue his counterfeiting career. t'incfiinarf Com. Human Itoncx. Correspondent of tho X. Y. Times. In resuming the description of the recent excursion of the officers and guests of the Chicago and Northwestern and Union Paci fic Railroads to tho heart of the Rocky Mountains, I find that in tbc haste of writing my first article, I omitted to mention an ex ceedingly interesting, and, perhaps profound ly Important discovery, which has been lately made at Antelope, a station 450 miles west of Omaha. Iu digging a well for the railroad company, there was readied, at the depth of sixty-eight feet, a layer of human bones undoubtedly human, from tbc fact that there was a scull and jaw, as well as other bones from tbc extremities and trunk. I know very little about the discover', other than that bones are this day visible in the earth that has been thrown up from the well; and I should think that tbis extraordinary cir cumstance for 6uch It seems to me would attract the attention of geologists and scien tific men. Fpr if it be correct that human bones are found in tho ordinary line of for mation in the tertiary vein, I suppose there will have to be a revision of current scientific opinion, both as to the origin of the human race ana the date of its existence upon tbis planet. The subject, as I have said, is of the profoundest interest, and it remains for our. tavanf to dctermino whether these human bones were covered so deeply by a cataclasm or were deposited there In prehistoric times. Some of the army surgeons at Fort Saunders or other posts on the line of tbc Pacific Rail road would probably aid in this investigation, II no other means of getting information could be obtained. I may add that a friend or mine in this city, who has passed over the road, has a femoral-bone in his possession, which proves beyond question that tho relics are of the human race. The excavators as sert that in the process of digging they have found layers of bones in Which the remains of elephants and tigers were unearthed, it being known to everybody that these animals are extinct species on this continent. These remains were the subject of a rather amusing inquiry at Laramie, by a hirsute, slouchy, very rough and yet highly theologic al frontiersman, who said to the possessor of the strange relics, looking at them curionsly as he spoke: "Oh I some bones 1 What sort, eh?" "Well, I Ihiuk, .the femornl bono of a man," was theanswer. "What?" drawled out the rude man of the plains, with terrible emphasis. "A man's hip bone," re plied my friend. "How you suppose tliey got there?" "I don't know," "You be lieve they were buried there?" "Yes." When?r' "Well, say a million yearsagot" "Ha! hat" roared ont the frontiersman, "You're one of them'feilows that don't be lieve the Bible." "Why not?" said my friend. "Well, don't you kuow, the Bible says Adam made the world out of dirt 3,000 years ago?" "Well, yes!" was the reply, I believo the Bible does say something of that kind" the last speaker evident ly having in mind the maxim that it is dangerous to argue with the master of thirty legions," and his opponent In this Instance having In foil view an Arkansas bowie-knife and a brace of revolvers. Extraordinary ITehoibx or x Ror. The Rev. E. J. Beck, the Bishop of Newfound land's Commissary, relates an heroic incident furnished bim for that colony: A poor boy, whose name no one knows, but we may hope it Is recorded in the Book of Life, found three little children, who, like himself, had been washed ashore from oueof the many wrecks, wandering along that dreary coast in tbc driving sleet They were crying bitterly, having been parted from their parents, and not knowing whether tbey were drowned or saved. The poor lad took them to a sheltercdpot, plucked moss for them, and made them a rude, soft bed, and then, taking off his own coat to cover them, sat by them all the night long, soothing their terror until tbey fell asleep. In the morning, leav ing them still sleeping, he went in search of the parents, and, to his great Joy, found them looking fur the children, whom tbey had given np for dead. He directed them where to find them, and then went on himself to try to find some place of shelter and refresh ment But when the parents were returning with their recovered little ones, tbey found their preserver lying quite dead upon the snow, not far from where they parted with him. The long exposure. In his exhausted state, was too much for his little strength, and having saved his little charge a stranger to them as they to him he laid down and died. Sas Frascisco, July 8. The proprietors of the patent fire-extinguisher yesterday ob tained permission to set fire to the steamship Sonera, lying at Saucellto, for tbe purpose of showing how easily a fire could be extinguish ed with one of tbelr lire annibilatora. Un fortunately tbe tables were turned, and tbe fire extinguished tbe aunlhilator and turned tbe vessel to tbe water's edge. Tbe damage was trifling, as tbe ship had been stripped preparatory to breaking ber up. Hoc, tltc Inventor or tbc Print Ing Press. Richard M. Hoe, Esq., is one of tho most successful business men and manufacturers of New York. His fame as the inventor of tbc great American cylinder printing press is now world-wide, and his factories In this city and in England give employment to a large number of people. All the great dally news papers and many of the weekly Journals of New York and other cities, in tbls country and in Europe, are now printed on these presses, llialnventionhas contributed more to tbe general diffusion of knowledge among the masses by means of the dally newspaper and weekly journals than any other agency, and It justly ranks among the greatest achievements of the age. He was born in humble life in the city of New York, Sep tember 12, 1812. His father was an English machinist, who came to the United States to seek his fortune, In the year 1803. After fol lowing the occupation ot a carpenter for some years, he finally commenced the manufacture of printing presses In 1825. A brother of the elder Hoc also came out to tbls country and followed the occupation of a mason. Both of these brothers were nen of great reliabili ty of character, and were held in much es teem. Richard succeeded his father in busi ness in 1SS3, and in association with his brothers, he continued It to the present time. They have established the largest manufac tory of printing presses in this country, and bucIi is the demand for their presses abroad, that they have been obliged to establish a factory in England. They also manufacture a great variety of other presses. Their ofjlco b in narrow old Gold street, on the site where their business was first made successful. Mr. Hoe's first patent was in 1S42, for im provements in single and double cylinder pres6cS,Vwbereby six thousand Impressions per hour could bo obtained. He patented other improvements in lS45,andinJulyIS47, patented bis celebrated type-revolving print ing press, which is now admitted to be the best in the world, and by which twenty-thousand impressions per hour can bo given. As few of our readers probably know what this press really is, wc will attempt a brief descrip tion of it, premising that a type-revolving press was patented by Nicholson, in Eng land, in 1700, but the invention did not suc ceed In holding the types. Some time since the Messrs. Hoc stated to us that one-hundred and thirty-three presses bad been made In the United States.

Mr. Hoe has passed considerable time in Europe, called thither partly by the introduc tion of his press there, and partly by a love of travel. Ho bas given to this press the study of a lifetime. His aim has not been to produce a machine of ingenious construction as much as it has been to invent one of the most practical utility in the achievement Like all inventors, he has met with all man ner of discouragement on his road to success, but being a man of remarkable perseverance, of rare Inventive genius, and understanding thoroughly what was wanted in a fast print ing press, he devoted energy, "talents and ex perience to the accomplishment of his pur pose. The result Is the Hoc press, which, perhaps, more than any modern machine, has received the encomiums of the world. Mr. Hoe Is a quiet, unassuming gentleman. He never made himself conspicuous In any way save by his invention. He Is a man noted for his sterling traits of character. His great press is not more truo to mechanical laws than be is to those of honor and justice. in :act, me popuiarcuaractertstics or toe man have bad much to do with tho success of the invention. He has been found reliable in all his statements, and while enthusiastic In fa vor oi ins press, never promised more than It could readily accomplish. He Is a well proportioned, flue looking man. His head Is large, with regular and promi nent features, which are full of expression. His eyes are full, and his brow is Intellectual. You see at a glance that he is a man of men tal and moral force, and not less personal energy. He Is courteous and affable, and In tho truest sense a high-toned gentleman. ieia jvr. uuu. Female Operatives. It Is well worth while to note tho gradual advancement that appears to have been, made In tho extension of the field open to female effort, and'gratl- iu uc auiu iu ueiieve mat as oia preiu- Ices die away and tho capabilities of mis class of operatives become better understood ana appreciated, they may rise to the com paratively independent position now occu pied as workmen by the sterner sex. The number of female operatives, as com pared with that of men, in New York city, was ascertained some years ago to approxi mate tbc ratio of thirty-eight to one hundred, but of late It bas doubtless increased, owing to the number of new occupations which of late have been made available them, or which they have more largely followed, and among which may be named printing, engra ving, photograph coloring, and telegraphy. As compositors tbey have proved very suc cessful, and earn from eleven to twelve dol lars per week, being paid the 6ame per one luuusuuu cms as men. They are even employed at press work, for which thei- receive an average of six dollars per week; and also as binders, book-sewers, and gliders, for which the wages vary from five to ten dollars is week. In each of 'these occupations, it is said, with apparent reason, that they are steadier and more reliable than tbe maiu operatives. As engravers, women, if skilled, can earn about twenty dollars a week) but this is subject tothe serious draw back of there beiog no certainty of continu ous' employment Among the few branches of work in which female operatives meet with no direct competition, may bo mentlom tioncd the somewhat laborious one of bur nishing silver and gilded ware, at which they make from eight to nine dollars a week. The clothing business and the manufacture of corsets, hoopskirts, etc., probably employs the larger proportion of labor of which we are speaking, and the wages paid may be said to average about seven dollars a wei. As a fnrorablo contrast to ihla low rate of com pensation, It may be mentioned that compe tent saleswomen receive much higher wages, there being ouo or two instances In which It Is said that a salary of five thousand dollars Is cheerfully given bnt It must of course be understood that tbe recipients are persons having great experience, and capable or con trolling a circle of customers. it should be a subject or congratulation that among our people the demand ror labor is so great that none of tbe baleful results that are said to have taken place In England from tbc Introduction of female labor are to be feared, for instead of permanently lower ing the average of wages, it may be said to liberate an increased proportion of male workmen for tbe heavier and more arduous classes of industry. Let employers facilitate the entrance or females to any field of em ployment ior wnicn metr strength is fitted; et Inventors reduce the drn-rcrv of labori ous occupations, until such are brought with In tbeir capabilities or performance; let the thoughtful ones of tbc community at large ponder tbe subject, not merely as a passing topic of remark or newspaper comment, but seriously, as ono of tbe most Imnortant of all tbe Industrial questions of the time, and pernaps some aay oromer me Darsn lines of trade may be swerved and bent until the wages of women shall aDcroximate more nearly, and we may add, more Justly, to those oi men.- .unerican Artisan.

Hctchisoji, Minister of Interior. Home unee, July 28, 1608. No steps have been taken as yet to obtain reliable statistics concerning tbe Chinese coolies and other bonded laborers which hare been imported into this king dom. Some have been introduced, served ont their contracts and been merged into the mass of our population, while others are still at work in our fields and houses. without our having any data for determin ing the results for good or ill, either on the laborers themselves or the nation at large, consequent upon their immigration. It has been suggested by a member of the Board of Immigration that immediate steps shall be taken to supply informa tion on this important point, not only to Ecrre as a guide for our own further efforts to supply labor, but that the mode and character of our immigration may be apparent to the world. ;The results thus far developed can easily be made apparent, by requiringor soliciting from the employers, an annual report of tbe men and women obtained for service from the Board. By a circular, or form of report, eiabracinga seriesof interrogations, returnable on a set day of each yeir,amass of facts can be gathered which will prove valuable for future action in the matter of immigration. Every one interested, both loathe laborers and in tbe national welfare will, we believe, be ready to impart any information on the subject which they may possess. Wo have a Chinese population of about two thousand, many of whom came here originally., 03 coolies, have settled 'down after having serve! out their contracts, and become amalgamated with our popu lation and pursuits. We cannot point out a single one who has not bettered bis con dition by thus being transferred from his native soil to these Mantis, while very many.'in our personal knowledge, have at tained both real estate and cash, making them comfortably well off here, and posi tively wealthy, if they chose to return to their, native homes. These facts, though known in a general way to residents here, and easily -found by the most casual per sonal observation, are not in such an authenticated and authoritative shape as they would be if collected by the Board of -Immigration, and could be nsed to dis arm the suspicion, to remove the hindran ces and to correct the false light in which philanthropists at a distance are in danger of regarding the plans in vogue here, to supply the demand for more laborers. The Board can at least keep a record of all tbos6 persons brought here through their agency, and from such record, event ually be able to show what becomes of the individual, what his condition was during residence here, and his value to the nation during the continuance of his contract, and after becoming master of bis own time. Not a little cara will be needed at first to really identify the individual, for it is well known that the name in the contract is not always that of the person bound by its clauses. The individual has answered to the name in tbe making of tbe contract at the port of departare.and in the assign ment here, yet nevertheless, he soon be comes recognized by his employer and his fellows by his proper name, a different one from that assumed by him. Tbe name being secured, we have a clue by which to trace him in all bis fuUre residence here. Let every planter, and every person wbo Ms-Teceivea oonaea uoorers irom ue Board be, requested to send in the contract sameand when it differs, the true name also of the men aud women in hi3 service. State who have died during the year, or been discharged from service, cither through gift, or by purchase of their time? If any deaths, the time, sickness, and whether from chronic or accidental dis eases? The character of tho laborer, if hardy, willing, industrious and faithful to his en gagement to labor, or quarrelsome, idle, and frequently requiring appeal to the magistrates to be compelled to his duty? If discharged either before or at the ex piration of the contract, where they have settled, what pursuits they have engaged in, or if they have gone "from the islands whether to their own country or other parts? Whether they have married Hawaiian women and have children, whether they have acquired property? and any other cir cumstances relating to them as naturalized subjects. The women, whether they have hus bands, are they living with them and note the number and limes of birth of children. To these statistical facts may be added any other information by the employer deemed worthy of record in order to found comparisons as to tbe value and advantage one class or race of immigrants, may have over another, to induce us to seek their introduction. Suggestions and opinions founded upon experience with those alieady Here, win be of great value as bints and guides to the farther solution of our labor question. We do not in the above suggestions ex haust all the points on which reliable it- formation is desiiable or will be valuable, We would like to see the inquiries cover all the Chinese and other laborers intro duced here since the'first in 1853.. Up to the creation of the Board in 18C5, private parties brought in our laborers, and it is these who are now mixed with our popula tion, and whose present condition will best illustrate whether they have bettered them selves or not. The labor question on these islands must embrace a broader view than the mere obtaining of bone and muscle with which to till our fields and push our indus trial enterprises. Beyond this is the nobler and more important object of increase of population, of perpetuation of tbe people, and the building up'of national life and national happiness. Tho two objects are correlative, and may be secured by sound statesmanship and persevering effort. We shall gladly publish statements on this interesting subject which may be sent in. Official lEcport. Hoj.oixi.rj, Aug. 10. 166S. To the ITonoralle the J3oard of Health of the Hawaiian Kingdom: Gentlemen: 1 beg to make the following summary report ol my first official tour around the Island of Oauu. n the Valley of Waimannlo, visited" seven famlles; prescribed for seventeen cases of sickness; examined five reported cases of leprosy, which proved not to be lepers, aud found one case of leprosy. In Kauboopuboo Valley, visited four fami lies; prescribed for four cases of sickness, and fouud one leper. In Koolau District, visited seven families; prescribed tor fourteen sick persons; exam ined one reputed leper, who proved to be entirely free from tbe disease, and found two leprous women. This district will shortly receive a more thorough visitation. The District of Waiaina was found to be remarkably healthy. Visited three reputed lepers, who, on examination, proved to be free from It Met the sick, and reputed lepers at the bouse of the Luna Makai. Five of the latter were not found to be lepers. while two cases proved such. Prescribed for seven cases of sicknets, and left medicine for cases of hooping cough. Found the intended suicide much improved. At Ewa, examined a reputed leper, wbo proved free from It. Prescribed for two cases of hooping-cough. This district, and Waia nae, will shortly be more thoroughly visited. All of which is respectfully submitted. David J. Lee, M. D., Jledieal Otfeer. Windward Side or Onlin. The change from the town to the wind ward side of tbis Island, in un hour's ride places tbe traveler In such a contrast of scenery and atmosphere, to that behind him, that he may almost believe he has entered a new country. From the heights of the Pali 1,200 feet be looks down upon a verdant plain, bounded on tbe one side with rugged mountains, whose clond-cappcd peaks lift their summits in fantastical outline; and on tbe other, the blue ocean, flecked on its shore-border with long extended lines of foam, and ragged with a wind-torn surface, to the very horizon. Chains of smaller hills, starting out from tbe central cliffs, trend to the sea, dividing the country into fertile ba sins, where may be seen, seated in the lap of Nature, tbe homesteads of tbe Planter, the Grazier, tbe Farmer, and tbe Hawaiian Sons of tbe soil. Towards the north, at a distance of twenty miles, tbe monntain ridge closing on tbe sea, in a broad-backed, lateral spur, (Eualoe), and pushing an outpost Into tbe water, o high, rocky Islet shuts off the land scape in that direction, while towards the sooth, "near at hand, the spurs that make for the sea disclose a broken country, and bide from view tbe near valley of Kallna, and tbe more distant monntain and sea-bounded plain of Walmanalo. Eonahnanul, tbe highest peak on tbe Island 4,000 feet rears Its huge bulk, cov ered with a mantle of dense Tegetation, and moist with vaporing clouds, which, calling on tbe swift winds, rush to its summit, and, in vain essaying to escape from it, hang there with ragged edges, torn by the same wind that now Is powerless to carry tbem further, Konahuanul stands" tbe frowning, grim, southern tower of the cramped, mountain pass, and confronts a lesser peak Walolanl on the opposite side. A narrow road, wrenched from Its rocky aide, walled by a towering precipice on the one side, and looking into a Tearful abyss on the other.jields a passage now, in spite of the forbidding aspect.of tbe grim sentinel that, until late years, blocked? op' the path. Men and animals creep along this narrow, zigzag road, from below but secmlng'Insects on tbe mountain's brawny breast The pre cipice has been scaled, and utilized by the art of man, and his puny road triumphs over the barrier interposed by Nature. The valley of Kailua about five miles broad, and a little more from monntain to sea, is filled with miniature bills and jutting ridges, that break its surface into a thousand Inclines, and except near the sea, leave hardly enough level ground to'bnild a farm-house, with its adjuncts of yards and pens. Through a slight cat on tbe summit of tbe ridge tbe gap the road descends into the valley only to climb another bill, and so constantly, up and down, it winds through favoring ravines, and across tbe water streams, until it strikes the opposite ridge, and from tbe brow of Ancanenul tbe sunny and bright vista of Walmanalo breaks upon tbe sight, and the distant and haze-obscured mountains of Mo lokai are seen, reposing on tbe bosom of the ocean. From the gap, the scenery towards Eualoa is magnificent The mountains break in sheer precipices down to tbe level below, fluted and ridged, ard arborescent with cling ing mosses and ferns. Tbe lesser interme diate hills are brown with crasscs scorched by tbe summer sun; the plain is broken with patches of cultivated ground, and veined with tints from brown to deepest green. It rises wltb a gentle slope from the sea, and tbe delrU at the foot of tbu palis covered with pubaia forests, gives it an abrupt term! nation against tbe inland precipices. Tbe scattered and high islets along tbe coast, with the sea rippling around their rocky bases, and tbe snrf glistening and murmur ing nlong tho shore, for miles of the coast. now hidden from sight by tbe intervening promontories, and anon, appearing again on the sandy shores of a distant bight these form a picture which embraces a variety not often grouped by Jiaturc In so limited a space. Tbe artist Weed, whose photographs of Yoscmltc, and other grand scenery of Call fornia, made bim a connoisseur, looking npon the scene from the gap, declared that no where had be found in one view such com bination of the sublime and beautiful. An abandoned plantation its fields of su gar canefast returning to pasturage land, and its mill-wheel yet unmoved from the scene of its former activity," a mentor of the un profitable past occupies a central position in the Kailua Valley. Tbe area which has been' in cane is not large, bnt it Is a fertile soil and yields well, and in more favorable times, will repay tbe investment of a small capital. Tbe valley Is taken up by graziers, whoso cattle may be seen feeding on tbe bill-sides, or beside tbe water courses. From its'dalrlcs, some hundreds of pounds of butter finds its way to town every month.- Surrounded as It is with high mountains, tbe passing clouds arc caught, aud yield abundant rain, so that the grasses are always green and luxuriant. Tbe sun looks down into it only in the mid dle hours of tbe day, and most of the time overhanging clouds, or flying scud, give the scenery a sombre, tint, intensifying the gloom of its deep recesses and shaded ravines. The bounding ridge on the cast shoots up into two sharp peaks, called "Tbe Needles;" the true volcanic peak, unmodified by the rounding, smoothing touch of tbe elements. On the clear, sharp outline of the peak, a single rock is seated in clear relief against the sky, In size, and to tbe eye, in form, re sembling an eagle with folded wings, keep ing lofty watch over the valleys which open beneath his perch. Towards tbe .sea, -the valley ends in extensive flats, divided by th water-course the drain of the mountains having here nnitcd to produce a miniature river. On this level, and on the gentler slopes of the bills that bound it, cattle roam at will, and, luxuriating in good pastures, fatten for the market, or reward with im proved stock the care of the herdsmen. As fine specimens of Devons, Durbams, Angus, and other breeds, may be seen there, and on the plains of Walmanalo, as we might hope to meet anywhere on cattle farms. Tbe road winds down tbe slope of Anea- nenul, to lose Itself on the grassy plains of Walmanalo. It ends there, for the coal of travel or trade Is reached. On the eastern end of Oahn, from where the palls of Ma- mala (six miles long,) touch the sea, at Ma kapuu, the mountain chain, in a series of peaks, abut upon tbe sea with precipices that leave no space for land travel. At Ma- kapuu, Is tho lesser pall, (800 feet,) up which tbe old road climbed to cross the mountain range. This road is now nearly destroyed by the rains and disuse, and really Is more formidable to venture over than tbe road at the Nunanu Valley Pass. Tbe old road by tbe seashore can still bo traced, along which the Inhabitants of Eoolau used, in a long, round-about way over the Makapuu Pall, and thence over the rough lava plain, inland of Koko Head, and along the seashore of the Kona side, to find their way to Honolulu. Tbe resident of Koolau now reaches Hono lulu by the Nunanu Pali road, with twenty- four miles less travel than hla predecessors of twenty years ago. Tbe valuable 'tract of Walmanalo Is a tri angular plain, six miles long by two and a half broad, along' its western side, aud is ad mirably adapted for a grazing farm. By rea son of it natural boundaries, no fences are required to couflne the stock, which choose their own pastures, gather in herds after their own instincts, and know the will of their owners only at branding seasons, or drives for sale. Horses and sheep have their ranges also, and a survey of tbe land, from some elevated spot, discloses these animated herds, giving life and variety to the beauties of the landscape. The long extent of precipice, rising to 2,000 feet, and broken in outline with numerous points and peaks, and seamed on its face with many a water channel In winter, flash ing cascades is a perpetual object for ad miration. It looks grand in thedistancc, but at its very base, to gaze upward, and appre ciate tbe vast mass of material plied up, and mark tbe debrii at tbs foot, co Immense in fact, so small In, Comparison with its parent mass, la to get some faint idea of tbe hercu lean forces of nature, which, by volcanic action, heaved these mountains up ont of tbe sea.- Persons from the Kona side, by follow ing up the valleys, can reach tbe top of these precipices in certain places, and look down upon Walmanalo," spread like a panorama beneath their feet. One or two living streams find their way from the short ravines, and afford a constant and sufficient supply of water for stock, and for tbe cultivation ofkalo. They empty, now, in what may 1e called a morass, of ten or twenty acres in extent, which was formerly the kaio land of the Inhabitants. Coarse gross and reedy bulrushes cow' cover the greater portion, no longer needed for the cultivation of food. These apparent mo rasses, which are a noticeable feature In all Hawaiian scenery, convey to the eyes of strangers only the Ides of waste and worth less land' yet to tho Ha'wallan eye, and in the market estimation, they are more valua ble than the dry and grassy lands; fortheso watered tracts are either abandoned kalo patches, or may be converted into such, for the growing of that esculent which requires an overflowed soil. Its 'home, naturally, is the swamp, and, like the rice, it mast bcgiown under water. There are thousands of acres now unused for kalo, which may. In the fu ture, be devoted to rice, and Tastly Increase the valuable exports of these Islands. They are tbe basis of natural wealth, awaiting utilization, and far more valuable than the proud montaln peaks which tower so grandly above tbem. Nature's most useful gifts to man often are covered with tbe most unat tractive exterior. The seacoast of Walmanalo is an unbroken beach of dazzling white sand, thrown up Into dunes, and strewed by the strong trade winds many yards Inland. There is a per petual struggle of the grass and the thrifty shoots of the convolvulaca; with the wind and sea, to cover these dunes with a carpet of green. In some places they have suc ceeded to tbe very edge of the beach; In others, tbey are vanquished yards distant a few long, advance creepers of the convolvu lus alone holding the debatable ground. Upon tbis beach breaks, with sullen roar, tbe ground-swell of the Pacific, a grand monotone that ever sends Its note towards the vault of Heaven a perpetual voice of Him who rules tbe sea, and rides upon tbe storm. A narrow band of green, a short way out, gives place to the dark blue of the deep sea, the reef-shoaled water, to those trreatcr depths which thesea-plummct reaches only in the bands of the skillful and ingenious. Tbe coast-line probably breaks down with all the suddenness and pitch that marks the rise of the mountains on the land. Tbe rocky, barren Islet of Manana lifts Itself some hundreds of feet ont of tbe sea, at the cast em termination of tbe beach, and the two islets, Moknlna, at the western. Trees arenot a feature in the landscape of Walmanalo. The Kukui, Ohia, and the Pan- danus cluster in tbe ravines at the base of tbe pall, and climb as far as soil is found to sus tain tbem, but the plain Is desolate, except around tbe homesteads which dot the laud. These arc indicated by the groups of foliage which have been planted and nursed by at tentive hands. All the windward Side of Oabu lacks woodland and forest that can be made serviceable. In inaccessible spots, in tbe rifts of the mountains, adding beauty to tbe scenery, and clothing rugged places in emerald colors, clusters of trees may be found which almost attaiu the dignity of forests; Tbey serve to delight the eye, but do not add value to the lands. Tbe prevail ing trees are not tbe hard woods, useful for fueL There arc thousands of acres of good cane land on Oabu, that only await tbe day when coal can be laid down upon tbem at reasonable cost, to become available as splen did sugar lands. Tjie cane grows luxuriantly on the plains of Walmanalo, and there are hundreds of acres having soil deep and rich, for tbis, or othcragricultnral products. It Is in sucli scenery as Walmanalo that the summer day the detested of the sweltering Inhabitant of the town becomes a pleasant cumpanion. The summer was made for the country. The dawning light comes stealing over tho land to renew the beauties of na ture, reduced by r.Ight to only grand out lines of mountain and valley. The morning euu lifts itself ont of the sea, and brings, to temper Its too fervid heat, tbe freshening trade winds, that have caught tho salty flavor of the ocean. The cloud-shadows chase each other over tbe grassy plain, until the mid-day sun has become shut out by tbe Interposing canopy ot clouds, and night at length comes on, as he sinks behind tho monntain ridges.

The Ittrolution says It Is but little known that two ladles re side in this city, 93 Madison street, who are principals of a nautical school, where, for sixteen years, young seamen, who. have wished to quality themselves as mates and captains, have attended, when their respec tive vessels have happened to be iu port. The school was founded by CapL William Thorns, author or the "Practical Navigator" and Thoina Tables." He was aided in bis work by his wife. At his death, bis son-in-law, Captain James II. Brownlow, succeeded blm. lie bad the aid, not only of Mrs. Tboms, but of her daughter, his wife, who had' made several voyages with him and studied navigation, both practically and theoretically, After Ms decease, tbo two ladies conducted the school, and, during the late war, prepared for tbe navy two thousabd mates and captains of tbe merchant service, whose knowledge of navigation was inexact, and who took two or threu months instruc tion at the nautical school, by way of prep aration for the 6trict examination required by tbe Naval Board. Mrs. Brownlow had, previously to her marriage, studied engrav ing at the Cooper Institute School of Design, and subsequently illustrated a work by Capt. Brownlow upon thestars. She claims that this is the only work in the United States entirely illustrated by a woman. Bond Uobbebt. N. Y. Herald says people doing business d5wn town have not yet pro fited anything by the experience of the past iu sending boys from one point to another through tbe crowded thoroughfares with valuable packages. Yesterday an occurrence took place which well might caused an ex citement on 'Change. A boy, named Ben jamin Hertr, employed in the banking bouse of U. A. Booty, Wall street, when returning to tbe office with six "hundred thousand dollars in government bonds in bis possession, was met by a man on the stairs as he was ascending, tbe boy was knocked down, bea ten against the wall, and tbe bonds which he held in his hands lorn from him. While the lad lay on tbe stairs the man made bis escape He ran up Wall street and down Broadway to Bcctor ttreeU While running at full speed down Rector street toward the river, be came iu contact with a man coming np with such force that the bonds accidently fell to the ground. The party 6o encountered ifclt so Indignant at the shock tbat he was about to administer punishment to the offen der, wben be took flight and made good bis escape, leaving the bonds in possession of tbe last comer. Owing to this fortnnate collision tbe bonds were recovered and the banking establishment again obtained their property. Whitwouth, the most eminent engineer in England, has just performed an act of munificence worthy of Peabody.

Fire at Kauni. On Monday night last, tbe honse of Fobakn, the native missionary preacher at Kalihl was destroyed by fire. The alarm was given at 11 o'clock and the neighbors aronsed,-bnt no means -were at hand to eavc the premises. Tbe honse was a small frame one, bought some months since by bis congregation, and moved near the church for his residence. lie is a blind man and was sleeping alone in the honse at tbe time it caught fire. lie was aroused from eleep by a feeling of heat, and went outside on tbe verandah with his mat and pillows, but finding it warm there, finally went over to the church, about forty feet distant, to finish his night's rest. By this time, the cause of his uneasiness became apparent by the burstlDg out of tbe flames, and had tbe house been a thatch one, we believe the blind preacher would have perished, ere he conld have been aroused In time to escape. The church was in great danger of catching fire, but was saved. Tnx Volcano. We have news from Kcala kekua up to tbe 15th Instant, and lrom Ullo to the 14th, by tbe A"oa Tucket and thcdiinte. No eruption has yet made Its appearance in the Kau district, although a light was seen on Tbureday night on tbe top of Mauna Loa, and It Is believed that an eruption has taken place on or near Pobaku-banalei. The ifght ceased to show Itself on Friday. In Kapapala and Wiobinu tbe earth seems In almost con stant motion, and noises are heard as tbongli the lava in motion below was surging against the thin crust above. All the phenomena are similar to those which proceeded the crup tion at Kahuku April ?tb, and it is likely the mountain will burst out again, perhaps this time, in the neighborhood of Kapapala, and another torrent of lava be discharged into the sea. Pointing to this, is the fact tbat the fire In KiViuca has again disappeared. Tbe south lake, after filling up, lias cooled so tbat it can be passed over on foot Tbe in habitants of Kau, apprehensive of danger and tired of the continuous earth movement, are leaving tbe district for safer ground until the volcano shall have cither emptied itself, or subsided to a safe repose. Chapter of Accidents. On Saturday considerable consternation was caused in Nuuanu street by runaway horses. A horse and carriage, belonging to J. Perry, was being driven by a boy near Mclntyrc's house iu the Valley, when a dog springing out sud denly at the horse frightened him, and be set off at full speed down the valley road. A vigorous kick dislodged the body of the wagon and the boy, leaving tbcm in the road, and with tbc,whecls only, the animal made his way into town. lie ran into and started off the wagon and horse of J. H. Wood, which was standing near Mr. Bart lctt's residence, which also came into town flying. The Perry horse running through Nunauu street ran afoul of Rev. B. W. Par ker's little carriage and broke it Into frag ments. Mr. Parker seeing be conld not avoid being struck, got out and left tbe horse and wagon to meet its coming fate. A milk wagon received next the blow, and its horse started off, but found blmEclf and wagon capsized at once, as the prudent driver bad bis hind and fore wheel lashed together, a precaution against accidents. Leaving tbe wheels on a post on Nuuanu 6treet, tbe Perry horse ran as far as the salt ponds, makal of Kawalabao, and was there stopped. Mr. Parker's horse brought up near the wharf, and Mr. Wood's In front of the Post Office. Two wagons entirely demolished, and two not materially injured were the results of this chapter of accidents.

Rex vs. Mary Kokai, accused of tbe mur der of Kokai, a Chinaman, by poison, at Ko loa, on the 15th of October, 1SG7. Tbe trial was commenced on Monday, 10th inst, and would probably take np the whole week. The poison (arsenic,) was put into a bowl of rice, which was eaten about 9 o'clock, and the party died between l and 2 o'clock of tbe same day. There are a great many witnesses, and the evidence is entirely circumstantial It appears that abont ten days before Kokai died, Alona, another Chinaman, bought ar senic of Sr. Smith; that abont a week before he died, Alona was seen giving Mary a bottle containing a white powder, like pja, and that Alona was not present when the arsenic was given. Music was first printed with3movcahle types about the year 1500. PcttrnccL tbe in ventor of the process, first printed the lines and then the notes. The art of printing both together was not In dec till about one hun dred years ago. Mr. Editor. Tbe Advertiser comments upon the form of contract published In your two last issues. Forms of contract arc very convenient, and used more or less In convey ances and various departments of business. Necessarily they must be general in their character, and where they are Inapplicable they of course will not be used. Tbcy are used merely as a matter of convenience and to rave labor. One object of tbe use of forms is also tbat they are supposed to be drawn In conformity to law, which all con tracts must be, in order to be legal. I sym pathlze with the Government in its wish to protect the laborer from oppression, but the employer also should be protected in his rights. I suppose a contract for service ter minates npon the decease of the employer, but it seems to mc that in this, the law is de fective, that is, that some equitable rule should be established by which laborers upon an estate should be bound to fulfill their con tracts to the heirs or executors, otherwise a' large estate might be mined if the owner 6honld die at a critical time when the crop wasjust ready to be taken off should they choose-to claim their legal privilege and leave at once. I can see no oppression to the employed in their being obliged to fulfill the contract, but on tbe contrary it seems only just, and great injustice to tbe estate of the employer for them not to do 1L If In this respect the form is not legal it cannot of course be enforced, but it seems to me tbat In this respect the form is right and the law wrong not so however, In some other respects. A con tract fixing no penalties of non payment, when the employed neglects his duties, is not jnst to the employer, and a positive con tract to payso much for each calendarmonth, irrespective of any delinquency of the em ployed does not appear practical. Again, planters are compelled by circumstances to make large advances to laborers, which are to come out of their wages, they generally contrive to spend it all, before tncy commence service, and then they must draw nearly their full wages for their current expenses, so that debt to the employer Is almost nn avoidable at the close of the term. This state of things is undesirable and unprofita ble to the planter, but it is also unavoidable he submits reluctantly but has no alterna tire, but to do so or sec his crop spoil. And it seems to me tbat under this state of things it is no injustice or hardship to the laborer to be bound a reasonable time further, if at the expiration of his contract he is still in debtcd. He has compelled the planter to trust him in the beginning or be would not work for him. The planter must have his work or lose his crops. He has to advance money and lose his interest, as well as risk the principal in case of death or sickness, or what is sometimes the case, the employees spend their advance and secretly contract again with some one else what is wanted is equity to both parties. The custom of paying advances is the real cause of difficulty, to the planter, and of un easiness to the laborer. He finds himself, at tbe outset of his contract with a debt, covering in some cases quite half of the wages, of the period contracted for, aud not to be got fid ol, except by the most rigid application of tbe wages left him, to the supply of clothing and other necessaries. The custom has been derived from that of the whalesbips In this port, but the ship has this security that the Hawaiian once on board, cannot contract further debts, cannot get away, and must work out the advance. It is not so with the planter. Janus. EartltquaLie Wave. Another oscillation of the ocean, Elmilar to that whicli occurred at tbe time of tbe great earthquako of April 2nd, on Hawaii, showed itself In Honolulu harbor last week, the movement being much larger and also more rapid than the former one. It was first observed by the natives ou Fisherman's point during tbe night of Thursday, who finding themselves in no especial danger from the rise of the sea, paid little, attention to the phenomena. On Friday, the 14th inst., at seven o'clock, A. si., the attention of Mr. Emmes, whose shipyard is at the water's edge, was attracted by seeing tbe water three feet lower than ordinary. It began to rise immediately, making three feet and four Inches in fonr minutes; it stopped, and then rose six inches more, making the rise three feet and ten inches in eight minutes. It then flowed out again; the total between the highest and low est point being sixty-four inches. At this time of the morning tbe oscillations occupied twenty minutes. The movement at balf-pasi eight o'clock, as observed by Captain Daniel Smith, at the Cbarlton wbarf, was that the water from Its lowest point rose thirty-one inches, reaching its highest point in nine minutes; twenty-three minutes afterward it reached Its lowest point again. At two min utes past nine o'clock it flowed in again, rising this time only twenty-seven inches in fifteen minutes, then ebbed in twenty-five minutes. The oscillations contlnned each time slow er, but at fifteen minutes past two o'clock, r. M., tbe tide being then at the flood, the wave reached its highest point eighteen inches above tbe highest spring tides. The sea at this time was well up to tbe tops of the wharves floated the spars in Mr. Emmes' shipyard, and at WaikikI, flowed over the top of tbe beach Into the yards of some of the dwellings there. The movement continued all of Friday, and through Saturday was also perceptible though gradually decreasing until fonr o'clock, r. h., when equilibrium seemed to be accomplished. Onr tides rise and fall thirty inches; the greatest difference observed on Friday was slxtv-four inches, but probably tbe first oscil lation of T&rsday nigbt was the greatest one. The phenomena was observed at Koolau, but did not attract especial attention. At Kabnlul, Mani, the rise and fall exceeded ten feet, and along the South Kona coast, Hawaii, was over twelve feet. Some Hawaiiaus fishing off Kealekeakua were alarmed by what seemed to be thumps nuder their canoe, and made all speed for the shore; it was the commencement of the oscillation at that place. Tbe earthquake must hare reached Honolulu, for on Friday, both Mr. Flitner and Captain Smith found their transit instruments out of level. That of Mr. Flftncr is placed npon a block of gran ite of several tons weight, planted on the coral which underlies the town. -Nothing but an earthquake would have stirred this solid block. The droop, though vary slight, of both tbe Instruments, was toward the East. By the Annie from Hilo, we learn that tbe wave commenced there at midnight of Thurs day, and ceased on the following Saturday. The ebb and flow continued at iuterrals.of.a few minutes, up to Friday noon. At high wa ter on Friday, some houses of Waiakca were flooded, and the Waiakca bridge swept away" np tbe stream quarter of a mile The movement of the sea was gentle and quiet. The wall of the King's large fish pond was washed away and the waters and fish dis charged Into tbe sea. Nogrcatdamagehasbccndoncbythcearth qnakc wave on any of the islands, nor was It anywhere proceeded by a perceptible shock. These movements of the land and ocean still indicate tbat the volcanic force on Hawaii is not yet expended, and until perfect qniet again returns, mauy look with some solici tude upon what next exhibition of Pclc will be displayed. White Ants. A wood boring species of ant,-which has lone been on tbe Islands, bnt not attracted particular attention, is getting rather destructive of late. The furniture men have had occasion to notico the ant from articles brought to them for repairs, as both hard and soft wood alike are attacked by them. Sofas, bureaus, picture frames, and other furniture has been eaten by them, so that nothing bnt a tbin shell remained of the parts. So also timbers in houses, fences, and even growing trees, show marks of these voracious ants, to those who have paid any attention to the matter. The males are red and winged, and at this season of the year fly into the honse in swarms, attracted by the lamps. Mr. C E. Williams believes tbam to be the same ant which Is so destructive to timber in Australia, and.tbat they have come hither In tbe Sydney Inmbcr and houses Im ported from there fifteen years ago. Our common black ant Is an enemy to the whito ants and speedily clean them out CUEATUHK IDOLATIIT. Prince Alfred. On wiags of lightning through the land Swift do tbe awful tidings fir "Dealt by a dastard's traitor hand, Our prince, of mortal wound must die." "Maj Uearen the fell assassin jield, Secure in dungeon dark to Ho Till vengeance deep, his doom hath seal'd. And death condign hath dos'd his eje." Thus was the voice of indignation loud, While gentler sorrow mourn'd in tears. And onco the humble and the proud Were one, made equal by their fears. Where late around the festire board Australia's loyal sons were set, Now mournful faces eager crowd. And looks of mutual inquiry met. Commingled in each saddened face Behold the deep emotions of the soul. See nature there her anguish trace, And lore reveal supreme control. Each heart Its separate burden bears, Tet each, through one great common cause. The real weeds of mourning wears And not the mockery of fashion's laws. Bat jet the whispered mnrmnr grows 41 The prince his wound may still survive Then each pale face with hope 're-glows. And certainty declares the prince w ill live. Xow all unite with one accord To hail his great delivery, and praise The Providence whose watchful guard. That oft (as now) the band of murder stays. They bless the God who stayed that hand And sav'd tbe nation farther shame, Bat on the felon fixed tho brand Beserred alone for fenLm fame. But stop 1 nor dare preenme too far Think yo tho hand of God for nought Would stretch, yonr happiness to mar Be sure some higher end it sought. Australial here a retribution see, So let your thanks with deep contrition blend, For in your wild Idolatry, To God your knee forbore to bend. Got humbly seek to be forgiven; Then may your thanks acceptance find, And grateful rise your praise to Heaven, Tbe sweetest tribnte of the heart and mind. A.105. The Return from the Derbv. The most extraordinary scene probably ever witnessed on a Derby night took placn on tbat portion of tbe road lvlnir between Clanbam Common and tho Elephant and Castle. Owing to tbe targe nnmoer oi venicies oi every acscnrition that went down to Epsom in. the morning it was anticipated tbat considerable confusion would occur after dusk In cvcnlntr on that part of tbe road near to London; and to provide for tbe contingency a strong body of the L, PandV divisions of police, both horse and foot, were placed along the road between the above-named points. From seven to eight o'clock a continuons double line of vehicles came streaming Into town and were kept in tolerably good order by the police, moving on slowlyjbut steadily. At obout eight o'clock, however, wben tbe traf fic began to grow very thick, the leading horses In a four-horse van, when near tbe loins at Kcnsinirton. fell down, completely blocking up aud stopping the traffic for about ten minutes before they could be got upon their IeL'3. This ten minutes did all the mis chief. The drivers of some of the carriages beblnd impatient to get on, uroKo tnc line which had hitherto been well kept. Tbo example was speedily fjllowed by others, and In a few minutes, for tbe last two miles along the road, all was confusion and uproar. In every mrecuon migui oe ueara tue crasu 112 in of tailboards and panels; wheels cot locked together, and for nearly and hour vans, omnibuses, barouches, bruughams, cabs, wagonettes, carts of all descriptions, co6termongcrs, donkey-barrows, etc., were mixed up together in one apparently Inextri cable mass. Good humor, however, prevail ed in all quarters. Many of the occupants of the vehicles, especially those ontsidc the vans and omnibuses, seemed to enjoy tbe scene, and beguiled tbe time by singing some of the popular airs of the day, and unmerci fully chaining those who showed any disposi tion to crumble at the state of affairs. To add to the excitement and confusion of the scene, the crowds of spectators assembled along the road to witness tbe return home, always very large, was, on this occasion, ow ing probably to the finness of tbe evening, nearly double the usual number, and it was extraordinary that no serious accident hap pened. During the time the block took place, bauds of roughs and Idle boys amused themselves by pelting the more respectable occupants of the vehicles with small paper bags of flour, evidently made np and sold for the purpose. This gave rise to several fights, during tbe continuance of which tbe llght-llnccred gentry were plying a good trade. By dint of great exertion on the part of the police, after nearly an hour's delay, tbey got the vehicles again in motion, and they slowly pursued their way toward the "Elephant." As late as eleven o'clock, one nnbroken line of vehicles was still pourine into town, audit was evident it' would be long alter midnight before the traffic would cease. Quick TnaVELrsa. The following para graphs from the Cheyenne Argvi are interest ing: Stephen Wood, of this city, has jnst made most remarkablv oulck trip. He arrived in Cheyenne on the Hth day after leaving Lon don. The idea ofreachlmr tbe Rocky Mount ains in a fortnight from Charing Cross, is somewhat startling, even In these days. One hundred and twenty-five years ago, it took that time from London to Edinburg. We are now enabled to take the train at Council Blnffs. over the great highway, the Union Pacific Railroad, on Monday morning, attend tbe theatre in Salt Lake, Saturday nigbt, go to church on Sunday and return, bo back home the next Saturday making tbe round trip in 11 days. The Salt Lake mail is now only five days en route between Salt Lake and Council Bluffs, andby tho 1st of January next the time will be 'less than three days. Naturalization. The progress of there cognition of the American doctrine In Eu rope Is favorable. Secretary Seward and Min ister Bancroft are quietly obtaining treaty after treaty from European Governments, guaranteeing equal immunities abroad for American citizens of foreign birth. It will soon be the law of all Germany that no native of a German State who has become a bona fide American citizen shall be held to mili tary service under tbe old allegiance. There has been lcss'trouble on this score, latterly, with other European Powers, but all will gradually concede the same point. The English Ministry who were thought tbe most likely to resist, are reported to view the ap peal of our Government favorably, and we may confidently anticipate that Minister Johnson will be able to effect a satisfactory agreement ou me suujcct.

At length. however, another sound broke upon his ear. lie stooped and listened, and pres enfly he called out: "Who's there!" The only answer wa3 a morning sound. He called again, and this time, he heard something like the cry of a child and pret tv soon the object came towards him out from the darkness. "With a quick emphat ic movement be brought his musket to the charge and ordered tho intruder to halt. Mercy! exclaimed a childish voice. "Don't shoot me; I am Natalie. Don't vou know me?" "Heavens 1" cried Jerome, elevating the muzzle of his piece, "Is it you dear child?" ji'cs; and you are good Jerome. Oh, you will come and help mamma! Come, she is dying!

"Why, how i3 this, my child," said Je rome, taking the little one by the arm what is it about your mother? "Oh, good Jerome, can you hear her now. Hark! The sentinel bent his car, but could hear only the wind and rain. '.Mamma is in the mud, said too cliild, 'and is dying she is not far away. Ob, I can hear ber crying."

The way, however, had become, dark and uncertain, and she lost .her path, and wandered off to the edge of the morass', where she sunk into the soft mud. Oil, good Jerome," cried the little one. seizing the man's hand, "can't you hear her? She will die if you do not come and help her. At that moment he fancied ho heard the wail of the unfortnnato woman. Wliat should he do? Lisette. the good, the beau tiful, the tender-hearted Lisette, was in mortal danger, and it was in his power to save her. It wa3 not in his power to with stand the pleadings of the child.

With a cry of ioy, tho child snraner to the soldier's fide, and when she had secur ed his hand sho hurried him along towards the place where sho had left her mother. It seemed a long distance to Jerome, and once ho stopped as though he would turn back. He did not fear death, but he fear ed dishonor. "Hark!"' uttered the child. Tho soldier listened, and plainly heard the voice of the suffering woman calling for help. He hesitated no longer. On ho hastened through the storm, and found Lisette, sunk to her armpits in the soft morass. Fortunately, a tuft of long grass had been within her reach, by which she held her head above the fatal mud. It was no easy task to extricate her from the miry pit, as lie had to bo very careful that ho did not himself Ioso his footing. At length, however, sho was drawn forth, and Jerome led her toward his post. cried a voice from having lost much more than they had gained. r Jerome Dubois returned to the guard house, and save himself up to the officer in charge. First a surgeon was called to dress several light wounds which he had received. Next his Colonel was called, to see what should bo done with him. The Colonel applied to the General of ths brigade, the General of the division, and he applied to Marshal Lefebvre. "What shall wo do with Jerome Du bois?" "God bless him V cried the Marshal, who had heard tho whole story; "I'll pardon him to-day, and to-morrow 111 promote him. And Jerome Dubois, in time, went him self to see the loved ones in France, and when be went he wore the uniform of Captain." one. and was only sorry that- he had not died upon too bottle-Held.

The captain took his band and assured bim that bis name should be held in respect. Toward evening, Pierre Vaillant, with his wife and child, were admitted to see the prisoner. This was a visit which Je rome would gladly have dispensed with, as his feelings were already wrought np to a pitch that almost unmanned bim but he braced himself for the interview, and would have stood it like a hero had not little Na talie, in the eagerness of her love and grat itude, thrown herself upon his bosom and offered to die in his Etead.

Morning came, dull and gloomy, with driving sleet and snow, and at an early hour Jerome Dubois was led forth to meet his fate.

"Who comes there?" again repeated the voice. Jerome heard the click of a musket-lock, und well he knew that another sentinel hol been stationed at the post he had left. Tho relief guard had come whilo he wa3 absent. "Friend, with the countersign!" he an swered to the new sentinel. lie was ordered to advance, and when he had given the countersign, he found himself in the presence of tho officer of the guard. In a few hurried words he told his story, and had the officer been alone", he might have allowed the matter to rest where it was; but there were others pres ent, and when ordered to give up Ii is mus ket, he obeyed without a murmur, and silently accompanied the officer to the camp, where he was at onco pnt in irons. On the following morning Jerome Du bois wa3 brought before a court-martial, under charge of having deserted his post, lie confessed that he was guilty, and then permission was granted him to tell his own story. 1 his be did in a few words, but the court con.'d do nothing but pass sentence of death; but the members nil signed a peti tion praying that Jerome Dubois might be pardoned, and this petition was sent to the General of tho division, by whom it was endorsed and sent up to the marshal. Lelebvre was kind and generous to hi3 soldiers, 'almost to a fault; but he could not overlook so grave an error as that which had been committed by Dubois. The orders given to the sentinel had been very simple, and foremost, of very neces sity, was the order forbidding him to leave his post until properly relieved. To a cer tain extent, tho safety of the whole armv rested upon the shoulders of each individ ual sentinel, and especiallynpon those, who at night, were posted nearest the line3 of tno enemy. 1 am sorry, said tho gray haired old warrior, as he folded up the petition and handed it back to the officer who present ed it. "I am sure that the man meant no wrong, and yet a great wrong was done. He knew what he was doing: he ran the risk; he was detected; he has been tried and condemned, and he must suffer!" 1 ney asked Lefebvre if he would see the condemned. "No, no!" the Marshal cried quickly. Should 1 see him and listen to one-half of his story, I might pardon him, and that must not be done. Let him die, that thou sands may be saved." the time hxed for the execution of Du bois was the morning succeeding the trial.
