While we hope "brain" may tr.umpli, it is perhaps of but little colise' quence, for practically, our AUIerincii 1 have so simplified the legal code that little or 110 skill w hatcver is required to admisibier it. A late Pittsburgh paper states that a sec re', organization exists among the blacks of that city, having for its objects ihc abduction of the slaves or servants ot Southern gentle uoti traveling through - that city, and pledged to adhvie to each C other by oaths of the most sacred cliaraeiwiMMittr li.o'v overt m operation among some of the negroes of this city for s um; years past.

J BEAUTIFUL BIJOU. "Jfcssrs. Cioaby, Nichols, k Co., Ill, IVashiC ington street, Boston, have sent ue one.of the prettiest pieces of Holiday Bijouterie that wc have seen for many a day. It consistsof a ininisture volume printed in tip-top style, with gilded cover and gilt-edged leaves, containing a poetical history of Fanny Cray, accompanied by six elegant caids illustrating some of the most picturesque events o| her life, in colored lithoer gapli, or, to speak more to purpose, showing bow a pretty girl looks iu six different situations, and as muuy different costumes,?in abort, exibits one head upon lialf a dozen pair of shoulders, with the changes which dress produoca upon ir- the same (ace and features; for Fanny's head, iuut I stead of becoming Hurried' as some gill's heads m sometimes are by their finery. Is so contrived as id to slip off, when she gets too fond of one dress, le- and is put on to new pair of shoulders, in a tie new fotm and in a new suit of clothes,.?winding ro up in the rich costume of womanhood, with a pet greyhound by her side. The first of the series ot pictures represents the cottage where Fanny was born, with a sylvan stream crossed by a beautiful bridge, and shaded by the noble ? oak tree that shadows its gaidcn. The whole of these pictures, with the pot table head piece oi the heioinc, and the little volume nl' letteiprcss history, are put up iu an 01 uaineiital box superbly colored and embellished bv gpkl and * fancy colored designs, among which is Fargiy in "* blue and gold, feeding her chickens. We can hardly imagine any thing prettier than too little girls engaged in eiyojiug it together; one read w* iug the verses describing the pictures fhbwri, "" and the other putting the pa: is in their pioper bO places." ? * From the Fern Bedford Wrrcnry. Kit . . . "A dainty bo*, brilliantly adorned, contain* uj colored costume* to be vailed at will of our charming Fanny ; and her life ia versified in a little l-ook accompanying these, as delicate as the young heroine herself. The designs are ll'r beautiful, and drawn and colored in the moat 0 finished manner. This is evidently one of the &u catering' for the Holidays; and every one knows uu some dear little girl, from ais to ten years of lH) age, who would fill the conipanionahip of Fanny fft ttray with ecstasy. Nothing could be prettier than the idea of its execution." ah 00 I'rom the Salem Observer. tt "As a specimen of the beautiful art of printing in colors, Fanny Gray U inimitable."
