; I .MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY ll. 18G7. j . . ' State Items. BsisUTiES OF "xEXEOoa."-We observed onoti streets, & day or two since, a decrepit old negro ... woman, whom "eating time" had nearly deprived . of the powers of locomotion, hobbling from nouae ! to house, begging for a "home;" but alas I for poor, aged curry I-none feel able, if ever so wil . ling, to incur Buch charges "forthegoodthey have done:" so she was referred to the Poor House, to which, of course, she objected. Though pinched by cold and hunger, the sable dame preferred !a ':. home in town. When asked how she liked free? dom, she replied, "Lor' bloss you, mossa, I was thousand times better off fore I was free-got rio ."body tocare for me now." Aye, "a thousand times better oft " as a slave I and, before another twelve-month, tens of thou? sands moro freedmen will be ready to make the - same declaration. Would not the "Bureau" do : well to fill some of its apartments with provisions for the indigent, starving freedmen ?-our Poor Houses cannot hold them. We will add (by way of v parenthesis) that the case alluded to is by no means isolated.-Laurensn?le Herald. RETUEN OF THE INDEPENDENT'S TRUMPET.-The silver trumpet presented to the Independent Fire , Company,- of this cny, by tho "Eatjlo, of Charles? ton, was carried offbyone ofGoneral Sherman's men, who offered it for sale, last summer, to a *- "philanthropic gentleman. Wm. Smith, Esq., .& commission merchant, doing business at No. 5G2 Ninth street, Washington city, but a native of New Hampshire. This gentleman purchased it, with the intention of .-eturning it to tho company. A former citizen of Columbia, on passing Mr. Smith's store saw tho trumpet, and recognizing it, . offered to purchase it, and said he would raise the - funds in the city among his .rienda and acqunint ances. Mr. Smith doolined selling it, bnt stated . his intention of returning ic to the firemen, free of expenso, on the first favorable opportunity. This intelligence being communicated to tho Presi :i dent of the Company, at his request, Gov. Orr, on his recent visit to Washington, called on Mr. Smith and received the trumpet. The soldier who carried oft the trophy, we under? stand, said that he got possession of it "after the fight m the streets of Columbia." As there was no fight in the streets, this is simply a-mistake. The trumpet had been taken charge of by a faith? ful old slave of the President of the Company, and as she "was going down stairs with it, covered up with some clothing, a soldier caught at the basket " and attempted to virest it from her; the good old . negro res'sted, when he deliberately kicked her down the stepB-she receiving injuries from which . aha was confined to her bed several weeks. .Thin is th* true history of the gallant capture of ?be d ' 3 trumpet. We saw it yesterday, at the atore ot . W. "Radcliffe, "Esq., and, under the - manipulations of young Mr. E., it looks as bright and as new as when it came from the hands of the manrifacturers--Messrs.'Batt, Black & Co., of New York.-Coiwnbia Phoenix. A gentleman was picked up in the streets of Sa . vannah a few nights ago, by the police, who put frnv in the guard house under the charge of ' y?drunk and helpless. Friends called to see him, .among whom was a physician. The chief police "- officer told the Doctor there was no use to see the " patient before morning, as he was in good charge; would be all right next morning. The Doctor, being a personal friend, insisted on seeing the pa? tient, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the polioemen." On examination the poor man was found dead, having been attacked with apoplexy, although strictly abstemious and temperate. A DABING OUTBAGE.-WO learn that on Thurs? day, 81st ultimo, two men went to the house of -Mr. Jesse French, who fives in the lower part of this District, about twenty-eight miles from the Court House, and, with a drawn pistol at his head, demanded his mules, which. were then in harness attached to a wagon. The two then caused Mr. French and his wife to seat themselves in " chairs, when one of "them went to the wagon and commenced unhitching the mules, while toe other remained aa guard over their tw J victims. After x. thomules were unhitched, and the villains ready to move off with their booty, to which they had added a email amount of greenbacks token from Mrs. French, something was said by Mrs. F. in re? gard to'their taking the - mules, when they caused s \ Mr. and Mrs. French to sign two notes, payable to ?' Ono of them, for four ana three 'hundred dollars ? respectively. They then left the promises without taking the mules.-G-reenv Hie Mountaineer. ? DEATH OF TWO HIGHLY ESTEEMED CITIZENS.-WO regret to announce the death of two well known ana highly respectable citizens of our District, Andrew Giles, Esq., and William Lesley, Esq. They were both old men, and after a long and xaefu career passed quietly away, having enjoyed . that crowning excellence of old age, "honor, love, . . -obedience, troops of friends." They were men of high character, liberal and public spirited citizens, ano noble Christian gentlemen. Long Identified with tho best interests of the District, they were worthy representatives! of its intelligence, integri - ty and pnbho spmt.--?o&eflit? Pres?. DEATH OP COL. B. F.

The deceased waa a prominent citizen of the District, and for twenty years had charge of the Pendleton Factory. He was in the c*> seventy-second year of his age. [Anderson Intelligencer. PATT">*y-Notwithstanding the unfavorable . weather on Monday morning, there was a full attendance of the yeomanry, and the day wore a busy aspect. The Sheriff sold several tracts of land at the following prices : One tract of 172 acres for $500; 135 acres for $130; 460 acres for $1080. {Ibid? INCESDIABISM.-Yesterday morning about three o'clock another attempt was made to fire the dwel ! 3 - Ung of our feUow-townsman, Mr. J. M. Graham. Se inmates were all asleep at the time, and but the smoke caused from the material used, - which aroused one of the family, the building . would have been entirely consumed. The person or persona were supplied with cotton and kerosene ott. which was placed between the sill and flooring, ' evidently determined to make sure work of it ; Fiorenze Gazette. :.~ SALE DAT.-Last Monday was truly a day of sales, commencing at 10 and ending at 5 o'clock in ibo afternoon. There being a large attendance, and apparently considerable money on the ground, everything sold, except land, brought its value. Many seemed to think that whatever was offered waa cheap at any price. The bidding, at times, waa verv lively and ai ausing; making one feel al? most like "old times.' '-Jb-uL QBEBCAK FBE?D.

THE largest room in the world, under a Bingle . roof unbroken by pillars or other obstructions, ia at St Petersburg, Russia. It is 650 feet in length, and 150 in breadth. By daylight it is used for military displays, and a battalion can conveniently manouvre in it In the evening it is often con? verted into a vast ball-room, whan it is warmed by sixteen prodigious stoves, and 20,000 wax tapers are required to light it properly. The roof of this great structure ia a single arch of iron, the bars alone on which it reata weighing 12,830,000 pounds. A Brussels letter to a Tournay journal contains the following paragraph : The Queen of the Bel giana has not hitherto possessed a crown, and her \ Majesty's jeweller was lately commiasioned to make one. It is an incredibly .elaborate work of art, ' composed of forty pearls, twenty being pear ' shaped and of enormous size, forty large brilliants ana nearly five thousand small ones, the whole set in gold and wrought hi open work. This crown resembles a coronal of flames, simple in form, but of unmatched elegance. It weighs less than two hundred and fifty g-rammes (half a pound.) THE SHOWEB OF METEOBS.-The meteoric show? er that apparently was not visible in New York in November, aa was anticipated, was observed near the Azores on the 12th of that month, by M. Guil lemin. Exactly in the same place, namely, forty five miles northeast of the He de Flores, remark? able shower s were observed in 1779 and 1833. The expedition was favored with a perfectly clear night, the only clouds in the shy consisting of a light belt around the horizon to the height of 10 de? grees. From .behind thia veil, and m a direction north, fifty-nine _ degrees east, emerged from the . same point a series of luminous tracks, which sur? rounded the heavens. These began to be visible atlO o'clock in tbe evening, and shortly after the stars began to shoot up from the samo part of tho .horizon. These store were of a dark cherrv red, and were accompanied by a crescent of blue phos? phorescence very luminous, and leaving after its ? disappearance a train of fight. Many of tho stars crossed the zenith and fell at the opposite horizon, occupying exactly B?X seconds in their transit; others ehot up and fell on the same aide of the sky. The marvellous spectacle of an Immense shower of such stars continued for an hour in full : magnificence, then the number of me? teors began to diminish, and finally ceased alto? gether at half-past 3 in the morning. . A THBASHTNO CASE.-The Pall Mall Gazette says: "Lord Francis Bussell, who was lately fined for iU-ue?Dg his horses, has just been brought to the bar at Haider head for punching his coach? man's head. This time, however, his lordship was acquitted. The speech in which he addressed rho Court in his own defence is worth recording at a curiosity. 'Who is the complainant in this case ? . A drunken, foul-mouthed groom. He is continual? ly getting drunk, and has been forgiven timeB out of number for the sake of his wife and children. His promises of amendment are like pie-crust He wages, lodging, money, kind treatment, but has been drunk four times in three weeks.' The Bench held that as the co^bman was drunk . ida master had a right to thrash Lim." A lecturing professor of chemistry said recently to a college class near the Hub, "Gentlemen, oxv jpen is an Invisible; yon see it in these bell glasses'." Scarcity of Women in America-TLelx Beauty. A London correspondent of the Boston Adver? tiser baa aeon the proof-Bbeots of a forthcoming book, by W. HEPWOBTH DIXON, editor of the Lon lon Afht7tceum, entitled NewAmerioa. Mr. DIXON'S book is the fruit of a trip to this country last year, during which ho visited all the principal cines, including Bichmond, and all the curiosities, in? cluding Salt Lake, the Kew York Shakers, and tho Massachusetts Free Love settlement. Wo make an extract from the letter : "The second volume opens with a chapter on 'Unelo 8am's Estate,' in which an attempt is made to force Englishmen to realize the bigness of Ame? rica; and this is done in a way that I think will penetrate the skulls of thoBO who find it most diffi? cult to do the sum. A disquisition on the 'Four Races'-each with 'a custom of his own to follow, a genius of his own to prove, a conscience of hiB own to respect; custom which is not of kin, genius which is largely different, and conscienco which is fiercely hostile-this succeeds and introduces a consideration to which the author attributes a whole series of the novelties which seem to havo suggested his title, viz : the disproportion between sox and sex in the United States. The inequality meets you, he says, at overy tum; 'in the ball rooms at Washington, in the streets of New York, in the chapels of Boston (that 'learned, bright and picturesque city,') at the dinner tables of Rich? mond, as woll as among the frame sheds of Ornaba, on the plantations of Atlanta, in the miners' huts, near Denver, in-the theatre of Salt Lake City.' The cry is everywhere for girls, girls, more girls 1" In every other Christian country, in France, Eng? land, Germany, Spain, the females are in large ex? cess of the males. Calling upon the reader to imagine what a state that country must bein which counts up in its fields, in its cities, 730>000 unmarried men. Mr. Dixon proceeds to refer to the State of New York which for "largoness of de? pravity, for domineering* insolence of sin, for rowdy callousness to censure," has no rival, he hears, on the earth. Much that is extraordinary, to us is afterwards told of the effects which the demand for women in a measure produces; tho agitations for rights and powers; anti-wedlock so cietios; free trade of the affections, and other signs of wild disturbance in the female mind. Firpf, how ever, comes a chapter on "Ladies," writ t JU with much skill-the author paying little but c on> pliment himself, and intrcducing an American au? thority when qualifications have to be made. In the sweet New England girls he thinks there must be lack of vital power. "At present you can hard? ly speak to them without fearing lest they should vanish from before your face." Among the higher classes in America, the "traditions of English beauty have not declined; the oval face, the deli? cate hp, the transparent nostril, the pearl-like flesh, the tiny hand, which mark in May Fair the lady of high descent, may be seen in all. the best houses of Virginia and Massachusetts. The proud? est London belle, the fairest Lancashire witch, would and in Boston and in Bichmond rivals in grace and beauty whom she could not feign to despise.1' Again : "New York beauty has more dash and color, Boston beauty more sparkle and delicacy. Some men prefer the more open and au? dacious loveliness of Nsw York, with the Rubens like rosiness and fullness of the flesh; but an Eng? lish eye will find more charm in the soft and : shy1 expression of the elder type." Among the lower gradeB cf women "there is no such wide and plen? tiful crop of rustic loveliness as an artist finds in England; the bright eyes, the curly looks, the rosy complexions, everywhere laughing you into pleas? ant thoughts among our Devonshire lanes and Lancashire streets, But then comes the balance of accounts. With her gifts of nature, our Eng? lish rue ti o must close her book In presonca of her keen and natty American sister." SINGING AND PiOHrn?O.-A correspondent of the London Guardian gives the following anecdote in the course of a' letter on hymn tunes : "At an early period of the recent war a detachment of Grand-Ducal Hessian troops, charged with the de? fence of a particular post, suddenly found them? selves face to face.with a much superior Prussian force. Their commanding officer was a Captain K?nig, who, as a politician, had-been a strenuous advocate of a Prussian alliance, but'whose only thoughts as a soldier were those of military duty. Determined to hold his own to the last, ne pre? pared his men for the engagement, in which he himself was one of the first to fall, by bidding them ail join together in a-hymn. The people ot Grand Ducal-Hesse are partly Roman Catholic, partly Protestants: audit became needful to choose the one hymn which all the soldiers, whatover their religious confession, could sing. That hymn was 'Grosser Gott, wir loben dich.' " COMMERCIAL. j . * ' Exports.

Among the chief points of excellence of the Ohlcker? lng Pianos, of which speak the renowned artiBts in their congratulatory testimonials to the Messrs. Ohlckerlng, are the greatest possible depth, richness and volume of tone, combined with a rare brilliancy, clearness and perfect evenness throughout the an tire scale; and, above all, a surprising duration of sound, the pure and sympathetic quality of which never changes under the most delicate or powerful touch. Daring the past forty-three years this firm has manu, ac rared 80,000 JPLAJSrOS, In the construction of which they have lntrodnoed every known and valuable Improvement.

I consider Chiokering St Sons' Pianos, beyond oom paria on, the best I have ever seen in America, GOTTSCHALK. I consider Ohlckerlng Sc Bons' Pianos superior to any in tho world. They are unrivalled for their singing qualities and for the harmonious roundness of their tone. There is a perfeot homogeneity throughout all the registers. The upper notes are remarkable for a dearness and purity which I do not find in any other inairament, while the base ls distinguished for power without harshness, and for a magnificent sonority.
