try. The time is Cast approaching for dof-
fing jour winter clothing and replacing it
with that of lighter texture. For good cloth-
ing go to B. J. Smith & Co.'s. Main street.
Q We are requested by the City Marshal
to say, that if the citizens will cleanse their
premises and throw the rubbish into the mid
die of the street, he will see that it is remov
ed. Now is the time that these sanitary
measures should be carried into vigorous
execution.
COwner* of hogs will remember that the
Hug Law goes into operation this week.—
Swine seen about the streets after the first
of April will stand a poor showing for their
lives.
ILrWe bear of large brick buildings to be
erected here this summer in every direction.
The School house or Academy block will be
a large structure. The building on the cor
ner, oposite Ennis A Co., by Mr. Bremond is
to contain 300,000 brick. The old wooden
hoaoe on Congress street, nearly opposite our
office, is to giro place to a brick building
that will make a continuous front on that
side of the block. It is rumored that a large
boiiding for hotel purposes will occupy the
site of the old City Hotel, that property hay-
ing, as we understand, recently changed
hands for that purpose, at the handsome
price of $13,000. Other buildings are spo-
ken of, and appearances a.* altogether in
favor of brick-makers and ^rick-masons for
the coning year.
D"We learn from the Age of Commerce,
that nine bales of cotton were burnt on the
r sd a few days ago, wagon and all destroy-
ed. The property belonged to Mr. Wilson,
on the Brazos.

The Press.
The Civilian hqp completed its nineteenth
volume, and justly felicitates itself upon the
event. 'Its senior editor, Hamilton Stuart,
Esq., is we believe, the only person now
connected with the Press in Texas, who has
remained at the same poet for so long a time.
1 he Civilian of nineteen years ago was un
der the control of the same presiding genius
as the Civiliau of to-day. We trust that,
for twenty years to come, it will be enlivened
by liis ready pen. Stuart has seen all sorts
of limes, and especially, with his paper
The time is within the memory of many who
have no claim whatever to the nsme of old
Texian.when the Civilian maintained a from
hand to mouth existence, and its columns
showed a continual struggle for life, when
its circulation was —we hardly dare to tell
how small—and our venerable friend, the
editor—since grown twenty years younger—
had almost wearied of the task. But the
Civilian at last started up, and has since
been rising higher and higher, until it now
takes a forward po ition in the front rank of
Southern journalism It now boasts of be-
ing one of the largest and most flourishing
establishments in Texas. ,
The News, on last Tuesday, entered upon
Jts Fourteenth volume, with the remark that,
if it had not been for the fancy of those who
established and conducted it for several
years, to be continually changing names, it
might have been much older than it is. The
age of a paper is of little importance, whan
other things are considered. The News has
occupied the firet position among Texas
newspapers, in point of circulation and enter
j prise for years ; and although other papers
j claim to have led the way as pioneers of jour-
nalism, -Mill we have all been very williug to
follow the example, set by our more enter-
prising cotemporary, and in obedience to a
necessity which that enterprise has created,
more than one of the leading papers of the
State have fixed themselves up, ar.d appear
determined to give the News a bard struggle
for the championship. It is a noble emula—
lation, and one which is already rendering
Texas as distinguished for her newspapers
as she is for her natural advantages of soil
and climate.
Nor in congratulating these, the oldest of
our brethren, on the occasion of their birth-
day, must the Telegraph forget to welcome
a new star just appearing in the firmament
under the title of the Tri-Weekly Intejligen-
gencar, published in connection with the
Weekly of that name,at Austin. The weekly,
although hardly in the second half*f its
first volume, has taken a place among the
uiost popular of Texas papers. It now Is-
sues a tri weekly, and promises us a daily
on the opening of a daily mail comunication
with this place. Well, it is what we 6hall all
have to come to, and two years will not pass
before a half a dozen well supported daily
papers will be issued within ihe limit of our
State. We greet the little stranger at Aus-
tin, and trust it may attain to a lusty man-
hood^
The State Oazette, at Austin, is a capital
paper, and does noble service in the cause
of the Democracy. Its position at the seat
of government gives it no little advantage in
the way of publishing important matters for
refereetice, and information concerning Tex-
as. Its editorial columns also display great
industry and ability. Although we occa-
sionally differ with that paper in matters of
State policy, wherein no party issues are af-
fected, still oar regard for the Gazette is by
no means lessened because we cannot al-
ways subscribe to its view*. It gives evi-
dence of prosperity equal to that of any of
its cotemporanes. and we rejoice to see it
The Dallas Herald is starting out in ad-
vance of the majority of its cotemporaries of
country press, and is taking a bold and de-
cided stand as the leading paper of its sec-
tion of the State. Latimer has few equals
in Texas as a writer, and certainly no supe-
rior in all the elements of good fellowship.
We have not time or space to extend the
list, or we might mention a dozen or fifteen
others which have always been favorites
with us since our connection with the press,
and which would comprise a list of papers
of which Texas, or any other State, might
be proud.
The press in Texas occupies an influen-
ential position. It demands and receives the
labor of the best pens arid the best talent
of which the State can boast. How exceed
in^'.y important that this vast influence
sLuttld be guided by honest and conscien-
tious hands. Let us hope that the intima-
tions to which we alluded a week or two
since, are without foundation.
Liberty Democracy.
At a meeting of the Democracy of Liberty
county, held it the Court House, in Liberty,
Thursday evening, March 10th, 1857, Col.
Frank Hardin was appointed Chairman and
H. C. Shea, Secretary.
The following resolutions were passed :
Whereas, a Democratic Convention is to
be held at Waco, on the 1st Monday in May
next, to nominate candidates for Governor,
Lieutenant Governor and Commissioner Gen.
Land Office, and in Tyler on the 13th May,
to nominate a candidate for Congress in the
Eastern District, therefore be it
Resolved, That the Chair appoint nine
delegates to the Waco Convention, and the
saint number to attend the Convention at
Tyler.
Resolved, further. That if the name of Hon
Wm. Fields, our former county-man, should
be before the Waco Convention for Govern-
or. that our delegates be instructed to go for
bis nomination; but if his name should not
be before the Convention, our delegates are
to use their own discretion, and to act as the
exigencies of the times shall indicate.
Resolved, further, That if any of the dele
gates appointed by this meeting are unab le
to attend the Waco Convention, or the Tyler
Convention, they are hereby empowered to
appoint substitutes.
Texas Items.
The Corsicana Times gives an account of
a cat in that town which is now rearing a
family of squirrels. She has in her brood
one kitten and four squirrels. Her first af-
fections are given to the kitten, but she
manifests a good deal of tenderness for the
rest of the family.
The Times says that there is a great deal
more corn planted there this year than last.
The Times calls on the literati of Corsi-
cana to do something to kill the dull, ess of
that town. If they cannot do no belter, he
suggests that even a one-horse debating so-
ciety will help the matter.
There is no Sabbath School in Corsicana.
The editor of the Times lately took a cir-
cuit around through Ellis, Kaufman and
Dallas counties. He represents the country
as flourishing, and as having improved
greatly within the last four years. Buffalo
trails have widened into county roads ; the
rude hut has given place to the neat ac d
large frame house or mansion; and the heav-
ing bosom of the prairies, is often covered
with extensive corn, cotton and wheat fields.

The meeting passed the following reso!u<
tions :
Whebeas, a State Convention of the De-
mocracy of Texas, has been called to meet at
Waco, on the 4th day of May next, for the
purpose of nominating candidates, and pro-
and
with entire confidence.
j The Gazette regrets that the artesian well
! is to be placed in rear, instead of in front of
! the capitol. We agree with the Gazette, that
it would look better in front.
The vote for Sheriff, in Travis couniy
resulted in favor of A. G. Weir, by 17 major-
ity. This is a Democratic triumph.
The Gazette, in anticipation that Judge
Duval will resign his office, suggests a Dem-
ocratic District Convention, to nominate his
successor. There are many good Democrats
in that district, who would fill the office
well.
The Jefferson Herald says, that Jefforson
has an rron foundry and a large tannery. It
also boasts of good teachers in its schools.
The Nacogdoches Chronicle is out in favor
of Geo. W. Smyth for Governor. Smyth is a
good Democrat, and a first rate man ; but
the Chronicle is the wrong paper to lead off
about matters that are to come before the
Convention.
Persons who wish to avoid the dangers of
collisions should not travel on the I unch-a-
train railroad.—Nacog. Chron.

The Bastrop Advertiser says, that Col. S.
C. Blanton, and J. O'Connor, Esq., both of
Bastrop, have been mentioned iuconuection
with the District Judgeship of that district,
now held by Hon. Thos. Duval. Judge Du-
val, it will be remembered, has been ap-
pointed to the Northern, or so-called Western
Federal District.
The Richmond Reporter is now published
on Saturdays.
The Reporter says that Pneumonia is a
prevailing disease in Fort Beud county at
this lime. But one case has terminated
fatally.
The Reporter*says that Mi . Fields, State
engineer, has surveyed the Brazos from
Washington to Richmond. He reports that
the principle obstructions to navigation are
logs found in the stream. The appropria-
tion made will materially benefit the river.
.Hataforia Democracy.
In pursuance of public notice, a meeting
of ihe Democracy of Matagorda county was
held at the Court House, on the 2d iust.—
The meeting was organized by the election
of Hon. A Wadsworh, as Chairman, and
Dogal McMcFarlane, as Secretary.
The object of the meeting having been lu-
cidly explained by the Chairman, on motion,
the following gentlemen warn appointed to
draft resolutions expressive of the sense of
the present meeting, viz—Oapt. John Dun-
can, Col. J. B. Hawkins and W. S. Fisher,
Km). . The Committee having retired for de-
liberation, returned, and made the following
report, which was unanimously adopted—
Whereas, the Democracy of Texas will
meet in Gonven.ion on the 4th of May next,
at Waco, for the purpose of nominating can-
candidates for Governor and Lieut. Governor
uf the State, and Representatives to Con-
gress ; Aud whereas, in the present state of
Federal politics, it is of vital importance to
the South, that her most able and patriotic
citizens should be selected l represent her
interents and defend her right in the Nation-
al Congress from fanatical assaults and un-
constitutional usurpations ;—Therefore,
Rrn'.vtd, That the Democracy of the
county of Mdlagorda, having full faith and
conbdence in the integrity, abili'y and cor-
rectness of principle of the Hon. Guy M
Bryan, of Brazoria, do hereby earnestly urge
upon the Convention the clains of Mr. Bry-
an to Ihe nomination for Representative in
Congress, from the Western District of the
State of Texas, feeling assared that the in-
terests of the Mate and the entire South will
find in him an able, honest and fearless ad-
vocate and defender.
Reunited, That the delegation from this
county, to the Wuo Convention, be iosruct-
ed to use all honorable means to secure the
nomination of the Hon. Guy M. Bryan, as
our Representative in Congress.
R'talted, That the following named gen-
tlemen be appointed Delegates to represent
the Democracy of Matagorda county, in the
WacoConveniion, viz—
Col.J W M'Camlv, Jas H Cutter, Esq ,
Dr. EA Pearson, W L Sartewelle. Henrv

Capt. John Duncan.
either directly or remotely, to open and fos-
ter every channel of communication with it,
mulgating a platform of principles;
Whereas, we, the Democracy of Washington
county, are deeply impressed with the ne-
cessity of such au organization of our party
throughout the State, as will secure harmo-
ny in its councils and success to the great
principles for which we contend ;—There
fore, be it resolved,
1—That, without declaring their princi-
ples in detail upon old settled issues, the
Democratic party may content themselves
with reiterating, that they belong to the Na-
tional States Rights Democracy, and that the
Cincinnati Platform of June last meets with
their harty and unqualified approbation.
2—That every one who makes our country
his home, and loves its constitution, its laws
and its liberty, is the truest American. His
birth place was not a matter of Dis own se-
lection, and for it, they should neither be
rewarded nor punished : his religion is a
concern between himself and his God, with
which man has no right to interfere.
3—That we have the dullest faith in the
ability and integrity of James Buchanan—a
faith which has been confirmed by witness-
ing the patriotic band of Statesmen whom he
has called around him as his cabinet coun
cil,
4—That President Pierce has left the Ex-
ecutive Mansion as he entered it, with the
unlimited confidence of the Democratic
party.
5—-That it is the duty of the State, judi-
ciously to lend its aid by donations of land
and loans of money, to the construction of
internal improvement.
6—That by the recent legislation in Con-
gress, and by the acts of our own I .egisla-
ture, the debt of the Republic of Texas must
be considered as settled, .- rid we will resist
any attempt on the part of the creditors to
disturb that adjustment.
7— That the Waco Convention should be
guided in its selection of candidates by the
Jeffersonian standards of honesty, capacity
and devotion to principle ; and believing
that these standards will be adopted by the
Convention, we cheerfully pledge ourselves
to the support of its nominees.

therefore take pleasure in commending this
agency and route to the public. It is a com-
petition which will benefit the country, aud
which Richmond ought, aud will, not op-
pose."
Precisely so. Just what we were saying,
and we are glad the Reporter has found it
out.
"All things must recommend them selves
as good and true under the blaz>* of FREE
DISCUSSION, and they will then sustain
themselves, and require no aid from the
bloody hand offoree."
This paragraph from the Quitman Free
Press, needs not to be refuted at this day.
It savors more of French Radicalism than
of American democracy.
Seven boys were arrested in Quitman,
Wood county, and put in jail for malicious-
ly killing their neighbor's hogs. At night,
however, some outsrders pried the jail door
open and liberated the young thieves.
The Quitman Free Press occupies pretty
much the same position as the State Gazette
on the subject of banks. A position in wheh
however, the Gazette takes much stronger
grounds than the Free Press. We look upon
this dividing the people into two classes,
and attempting to show that tLe interests of
the poor are opposed to those of the rich in
legislation, as of an agrarian tendency and
contrary to the principles on which our gov-
ernment, which i« a constitutional democra-
cy, is founded.
Our old friend and neighbor. Judge Fen-
ton M. Gibson, has become associated with
Capt. Ford in the editorship of the Austin
Times. Judge G. wields the pen of a first
rate writer, and will prove a valuable acces-
sion to the sanctum of the Times.
The Times says that John A. Green and
A. W. Teiriil, both of Austin, are spoken of
as candidates for the District Judgeship
about to be rendered vacant by the resigna-
tion of Judge Duval.
The Times publishes a statement showing
that Messrs. Marshall iOldham of the State
Gazete have drawn no less than $29,621 27
from the State treasury on account of public
printing. This is a large sum. We hope
it has been well earned. The work done by

Bright blossoms gathered from Elysian

dient at this early day of the discusion of ibis
subject, to express an opinion on the policy
of Banking by our State Government, or by
private corporations,yet we believe the ques-

way prescribed by the constitution, that a

Another Relic Gone.—The great mael-
strom on the coast of Norway, about which
every school boy has recited his lesson, and
concerning which so many tales of horror
have been told, is becoming extinct. We
don't likethis. the next thing we shall hear
of, will be that the Giant's Causeway can-
not be found, that New Holland is not the
largest island in the world, that the Patago
nians are not ten feet high, and that
everything else that made Geography
worth studying has disappeared. The Sci
entific American thus speaks of the mael-
strom, through a correspondent:
I have been informed by a European ac-
quaintance that the maelstrom has no exist-
ence. A nautical and scientific commission
went out and sailed all around aud all over
where the maelstrom was said to be, but
could not find it ; the sea was as smooth
where the whirlpool ought to be as auy other
gart of the German ocean.
We presume the above is correct. Late ge-
ographers aud gazeteers barely allude to the
maelstrom. Colton, in his laige atlas, gives
the site upoii bia map, but does not allude to
it iu his description of Norway. Harper's
Gazeteer, in its article upon Norway, says
tliat " among the numerous islands on the
west coast there are violent aud irregular
currents, which render the coast navigation
dangerous. Among fhese is the celebrated
Mal-Sirom, or Mesceuaes-strom, the danger
trom which has been greatly exaggerated,
since it can, at nearly all times, be passed
over even by boats. The romance of the
maelstrom has been pretty effectually de-
stroyed

Of his frank and earnest eyes ;
Spring after spring-time gathered
With buds and blossoms wild,
Fresh wreaths of thought and feeling
For the forehead of the child.
Adrian ! Just as noble
In soul as name was he ;
Regal in form and feature,
And brave as truth can be ;
Leader among his fellows
At ball, or hoop, or swing,
Tenderest with the weakest.
And generous as a king.
Mother, who sittest lonely
Beside the vacant door,
Conning, with tears, in silence.
Each garment that be wore ;
With troops of angel playmates
He breathes Heaven's holy air.
Robed in the spotless raiment
That spirit-children wear.
Father, who listenest vainly,
For light and bounding feet,
Gladest, in prompt obedience
Thy simplest wish to greet;
With lifted face he waiteth
On Christ, the Master now.
Learn iug the lore of angels
With earnest, seraph bro .
Warders along the ramparts
That guard the Starry shore,
Where wander all the little feet
Earth's darkened'homes deplore;
Blow with your silver trumpets.
And tell, in tones elate,
Another good and noble child
Heth passed the Heavenly gate.
Thou, who wast born of Mary—
Child at a mother's kr.ee,—
Thou whodidst not forget her, midst
The gloom of Calvary I
Bind up the broken-hearted.
Their Perfect Comfort be,
And gently lead them to the lost.
Beyond Death's icy sea.
Memphis, February 5th, 1857.
Jndge Watrons.
Congress cdjourned without taking any
action upon the report of the committee of
the House of Representatives, to whom was
referred the petition of Jacob Mussina and
Eliphas S iencer for the impeachment of
JohnC. Watrous, U.S. Judge for the District
of Texas. The report of the committee ends
with tbe form of a resolution for the impeach-
ment of the Judge " for high crimes and
misdemeanors." The documentary evidence
upon which the accusatious are based, em-
braces a volume uf 994 pages, which has
been printed by order of the House of Rep-
resentatives, but which we have not read.—
The committee, however, briefly state the
substance of the charges to be embraced iu
the complaint of Mussiua, that '■ the con-
duct of Judge Watrous in a chancery suit
litigated iu his court at Galveston, and
charge that throughout the progress of the
case he was oppressive and partial ; that he
entirely disregarded the well established
rules of law and evidence, and the rights of
litigants and the complaint of Spencer
that the Judge had " fraudulently and ccr-
ruptlv" confederated with anotner party in
the litigation of certain suits for an eleven
league grant of land.
Theeflect of the adjournment of Congress
without taking action on the report of the
committee is to deprive tbe proceedings of
further vitality ; and it is well understood at
Washington that the parties engaged in the
prosecution of the charges will take no fur-
ther actiou in tbe matter uuless in its i re
opened by the friends of the Judge. This
they avow tb ir determination to do. What-
ever unpopularity or blame may attach to the
Judge, we have always doubted and still
doubt, whether the impeachment can be sus-
tained. Tbe testimony thus far taken and
published, however, is solely in behalf of the
prosecution, aud places him before the pub-
lic in the most unfavorable light. The
friends < f the Judge at Washington express
great confidence iu their ability to sustain
biin, wliile the part'es prosecuting prufess
their willingnes to abide the decision of Con-
gress and the public upon the charges and
testimony published.—Civilian.
"Old Hakkis" warmly sets forth the
claims of Fbank Lubbock for Lieutenant Gov-
ernor. It is pleating to know that tne De
mocracy has such reliable material in the
party in this State. We are fully aware of
his soundness upon ths doctrine of State
rights. We have not participated in the ad-
vocacy of the claims of any particular candi-
date who may come before tho Convention
at Waco, except tbe Gubernatorial, nor shall
we do so; yet we are tree to say of Mr Lub-
bock as we have said of Frank White and
others, that if nominated, we feel we could
support him with a hearty good will.—State

TRADE.
We return to our reviews of trade with in-
creasing satisfaction from week to week
The spring business having faily opened,
our streets asssume a brisk and business
like air.
Our merchants who went North for the
purchase of goods, some two months ago,
have now nearly all returned, and their pur-
chases are arriving by eveiy vessel from New
York. The boats from the Island are now
bringing up full cargoes daily from the Mon-
tauk. Golden Age, aud Bell Flower, which
have arrived at Galveston within the last
week. We are satisfied that merchandize is
now offered in as great variety and as large
quantities as the wants of the market_can
require. And we do not hesitate to say, that
planters and merchants in the interior can
now buy on better terms in Houston than
elsewhere.
An examination of our stocks, and a com-
parison of prices, is confidently invited.
We have to announce that_the Berwick's
Bay line of steamships will now be put in
operation, the new steamship Galveston,
(Vanderbilt's) being already in the trade,
and another being shortly expected. This
will give us communication with New Or-
leans in from twelve to twenty hours less
time than at present.
The work on the various railroads con-
necting and to connect with Houston is pro-
gressing as rapidly as possible.
Improvements of an extensive character
are now progressing in this city, and within
a twelve-month the appearance of Maiu
street, as well as other portions of the town,
will be vastly changed.
Accounts from the interior, we are pleased
to observe, lead us to believe that the dam
age by the late frost is not so serious as was at
first apprehended. Where there it plenty
of seed, crops planted after the frost will be
quite as forward as average seasons, and
much in advance of the last.
We refer the readers to tbe reports of the
markets below for further information.
COTTON.
Yesterday's mail brings us accounts of a bet-
feeling existing in the New Orleans market,
prices having recovered the slight decline
noted last week. Factors were stringent in
their views, aud this, with the meagre as-
sortment offering, checked operations to some
extent.
The Northern markets are represented as
being inactive. Middilir g Orleans quoted
at 14c. on the 12ih iust. The receipts at all
the shipping points up to the latest dates
reported are 2,554,762 against 2,767,967
bales to the corresponding period of last
season. The total exports from tbe United
States this season, up to the first inst., have
been 1,186,295 bales, against 1,507,227 bales
to tho same time last season. Stock ou hand
in New Orleans about the same as this peri-
od last year—305,000 bales.
p i i i i iv are highly in favo
of extreme prices governing until the new
crop is sufficiently developed to form fair
estimates in regard to it. Opinions prevail
that the crop estimate of three millions bales
is below the reality, and that with receipts
already of 2,600,000 bales, they can readily
be run up the next ninety days to3,100,000
bales ; be this as it may, a few thousand
bale?, more or less, will not materially
change the complexion of the market. Con-
sumption demands a certain supply, and
that supply this season, it is clearly seen, is
not commensurate with the necessities of the
trade ; consequently, enhanced prices are
necessiry consequence, as the deficit
even overlooking the uncertainties insep-
arably connected with the production of this
great commodity canuot be made good for
months to come.
At this point receipts are increasing—and
for some weeks we may look for a fair degree
of activity in our market. Sales are daily
made at full prices, and we quote as follows,
remarking, that parcels to command our
highest q- otations, must be unexceptionable
in style and quality—

BRITISH WAR IN CHINA. *
Canton in Flairs.
New York, March 30.—The defeat at the
British Government was on the motion at ■
Mr. Cobden iu the Commons, regarding ope-
rations in China, which declared that the
official papers laid before the House failed t«
justify the violent measures adopted, and
ibat a special committee be appointed to
inquire into the difficulties, now become se-
rious. between the two conntries.
Progress or the War
The Chinese authorities have forbidden
the subjects oi the Empire to trade with the
English, on pain of death. A large number
of junks had attacked British shipping
Canton, but were successfully, repulsed.
The Mandarins have issued blood-thirsty
edicts against the English. By them, also,
the Chinese have been ordered to quit the
service of foreigners.
Tbe whole nation are excited to hostile
movements against the Europeans, and 'he
populace are beginning to show a courage
before unknowu. Tbe most serious appre-
bt-n-it ns are entertai i.ed.
The difficulties are not confined to China
alone, but have made their appearance at
Singapore. Tbe English and German resi-
dents of this port have been obliged to arm
against hostile attacks in the streets by iufn-'
riau-d Chinese, who were joined- in the aa* -
suits by Malays.
At the last accounts Canton city was in
flames. • ; w •*ti?
Spanisb-Mexic** War.
Spain, while deploring the necessity at ag-
gressive measures against Mexieo, wsahes it

her national dignity.
A Duel Between Two Ladies on the Ta-
ns.—The Louisville Democrat 6ays that |a
duel between two ladies is on the tapis in
that city. A formal challenge is known to
have ><een passed and accepted, though tbe
weapons and distance have not been named.
As will be readily imagined, a gentleman
is at the bottom of the qarre{l. After all, we
don't know but what the ladies have as much
right to make fools of themselves as the lords
of creation.
A Female Sculptor at Roue.—
Home, Dec, 28, 1856.—We have been
much interested for the last few days in
visiting the studios of our American ar-
tists here ; and first let me say a word
of Vliss Hosmer.
We found that Mr. Gibson was out
but asked permis'-iou to see his works,
which request, as in all studios here,
was politely granted- In passing
through a court, a figure in marble
caught my eye, through an open door,
and we all marched in. It was a foil
length recumbent figure—"Beatrice di
Cenei asleep iu prison." It is a lovely
thing. As we stood dreaming over it.
a young lady (almost thirty I rhould
say) crossed the court and came to
wards us. She wore a light brown dress
rather short, with a sort of man's jockey
co-it-^much like R,s—"nothing short-
er"—paletot) with two pockets in front,
into which her two hands were thrnst,
and from them a sculptor's chisel and
brush obtruded. Her hair curling and
short on her neck with a round high cap
on her head, of black velvet, met ry eye
and a tassel drooping over the side
She had a merry eye, a rosy cheek, and
a round full face, but a most decided
mouth, realy rigid. She returned our
bows with a very sudden nod, and
askH ns if we had seen Gibson's pain-
ted Venus. I told her, in ret urn, that
I thought this far more beautiful. ' 1
think it is." said I, " the subject is so
fresh; it seems to me that Mr. Gibson
is fortuate in the selection." "It isn't
Mr. Gibson's I did it," curtly replied
the lady, thrusting her hands deeper in
her pockets, and cocking her head ou
one sido "Indeed,'' said we, in some
surprise. "Yes, I did it last winter:
I wo-ider that no one has taken this
subject before." But I <'annot convey
her manner of speaking, or' rather hei
tone. It was quick, decided ai'd
short as jwssible, much like a rail
road train over a short bridge. W<
said a few common places and took
our leave, but I am going again, il
we have time, to see the Beatrice,
but quite as much to see its aathor
and talk with her again.
