LISBON, August IL--The resignation of the entire Ministry is expected, because of the cen? sure upon their acta by the Upper House. jTHE NhW TEXTILE MATERIAL. Il is hardly time yet to predict that the new textile material, "Barnie," will supersede or in soy degree be a substitute for cotton, lt will take the place of lineo, if of anything, for it is very high prie d. Samples raised and prepar? ed in Mexico sold in London at two shillings turd s ix-nene 3 per pound; and the specimens of prepared fibre and manufactured articles shown at the recent exhibition m Cincinnati, were pronoaucol to bear a close resemblance to linen, with a silky gloss which is not ob? servable in Linea. The plant is a native of Japan, and bas been propagated by seed and by cuttings in Mexico. From Mexico it was brought to Louisiana two years ago, and has been introduced io Texts, Arkansas and Mississippi. The assumed ad? vantages ibis plant bas over cotton is its bet? ter fibre, its greater hardiness, and its com? parative exemption from attacks by worm). Butas yet, although there are reports of -^batches of twelve or fifteen acres or the plant this season tn some parts of the Sooth, ramie has been grown on ly experimentally, mainly in nurseries, and it will bi some time before it ramie-flea generally throughout the cotton dis? tricts. Its resemblance to silk, rather than cotton, or even boen, may make its general introduction undesirable, since ramie may bj^x the same relation to silk that chicory does to coffee. The Japaie3e ara said to use th* fibre largely now to adulterate their sec? ond-rate silks. LIFE -4 Hoy O TBE SHAKERS. The Reparation of like Sexes-Men With? out Wires ?nd Woram Without Has ha adi- < he lr ?<rm?r kable lt eligi?os tereuioiiies- The Shatter'! Interior Lt*. A correspondent of the Nsw York Soa gi ves tn interesting account of a recent nett to the priooipd community of those peculiar people, the Shaken: A beautiful 8n"d*y morning found joni cor? respondent at Columbia Hall, the piincipal hotel in .t he piotureeque village of New Leba ! uoti, Columbia County, N. Y. The village is renowned chiefly aa trio home of the Shakers. I Iud never seen thea? strange people I had offen heard of them as an honest, industrious, and tbntty people possessing many virtues, I-and strictly adhering to the tenets of their I faith, ac.d'1 hid long desired to visit their Bat? tlement, view their farms. and gardons, see them tu their hem?ra, .aol observo their form of religions worship. And now the opportu? ne: v presented itself. .Itm well known that one of the fundamental principles of the Shakers' creed is a lit*-* of strict celibacy. They claim to be the people of whom Jesus said, ** J bey neither marry nor nr? K i veo tn marriage, but aro as the angela of uod in Beaven." But to the public they pro? fess not to condemn marri .ge as an institu? tion of "the world "and to allow no "believ? ing" husband or wife to separate from an "un? believing" wife or husband except legally or by mutual agreement THE SEXES DWELLING Af ABT. The N-w York Lebanon Society ot sh ak-'ra numbers a bo tn six hundred, aud is tho oldest, as welt as the I irgest society nf the order m this country. The settlement is about two miles from tho village proper. Soon arter entering the boondartes of tbe community, the buil? dings, dwellings, stores, church. Darns, herb room, Ac, come m view. On each side of tho wide and even road aro large, reetangu Ur wooden booses, three or four stories high, and uni lora? in siea and appearance. These are the dwellings. A spicioas ball rans through the centro of ike. building, ihe apartments of the brethren and sisters are usually at the opposite sides or end1 of the house. From two to six lire in a room; and although the men and women ot a community live thus contiguous. Bleeping under tue same [ roof and eating in the same dining room, they profess to have no social intercourse with each other beyond that of business or devotional exercise. They enter the haildin . at opposite ends of the ball; they Bit at separate tables, aud indulge in no conversation with each other, uules-j it be to express their merest wants, or when a superior gives direction* or instructs s subordinate. THE COMPOSITION 07 THE Ou SOI C.ITT IES. It is not generally known that each society of Shakers is constituted of several distinct families, which are self-supporting, and pos? sess within themselves perfect organizations in both temporal aud spiritual matters, regu? larly officered, comprising elders, deacoDa,care . takers, and others. The Society of New Le? banon embraces eight of these families. The different comm inities, or fain il iee, in each so? ciety, number from thirty to one hundred and Atty members of both saxes, who generally occupy ono huge, unitary dwelling, in which, as they : olaim, the brethren and sisters live together na a spiritual order sud social rela? tion; . ja THE PLACES OT WO BS HU'. Ea Th dwelling contains a large meeting-room sufficiently spacious to accommodate all the members of the family, and in this room they assemble several times a week for worship, and from twice to thrice a week they have reunion meetings in their private rooms, where from tour o eight or ten of the brethren and sisters spend an hsur or so sitting together in devo? tional conversation and tinging. TBS WORKSHOPS. There are also in the settlement large build? ings contamine numerous workshops connect? ed with eaoa.famiiv, one for the men the other for the women. In those various branches of manufacture are carried on, cousiating of neces? sary articles for home consomption and for sale. They have aU the mechanical trades necessary to meet the immediate wants ot a family, but are largely dependent upon the neighooring rulases and cities for the improved implements which reader modern agriculture soo -essful. AGRICULTURE AMD HOBTIOtTLTUBE. Hitherto horticulture ba, been the leading business ia most of the Shaker societies, bat recently they are turning their attention con? siderably to agriculture, 'ihe society at New Lebanon owns about 6000 acres of land, a largo share of which is tor fuel, timber and sheep, being very mountainous. The rest is devoted to agriculture and horticulture. Bf THE HOUSE Of WORSHIP. As we drove np to the Shaker "meeting boas?,"* a larga rectangular, plain wooden building, with a convex roof, their singing reached our ears. They had already begun their devotional exercises, although it was not yet ten o'clock m tbe morning. We alighted in front of the church, and entered, our wives through the door on one side of tbe sane tu ay, and we through another on the opposite side. Many visitors were in the house, and an usher ?gave us seats allotted to those who are not of the "persuasion." These seats are plaio wooden benches, and differ from those used by the Snakers themselves ia that they are sup? plied with a back. When we entered the "meeting-house" we could hardly suppress a smile. Banged in line across tbe room-one row behind another, ac? cording to height -the men on one side of tbe house, the women on tbe other, they stood tn their quaint costumes, their faces cast down, 'their eyes on the floor. The men wore coats, pantaloons, and waistcoats of the same materi? al, butternut-colo: ed-coat of tho ancient eh ad bed y pattern, with a standing collar reaching to the ear, waistcoat buttoned dose to the throat, with standing collar and continuations ol the most, liberal dimensions. About their necks each wore awhile kerchief, containing at least a half yard of muslin. The women w?<e neatly attirod in gowns of BO ne light lead-colored material reaching to | tue feet, and guiltless ot exoansion by crino? line. Each wore, pinned over har shoulder and bosom, a white kerchief or small shawl. Each one, from the oldest wrinkled old woman to the youngest child, wore a close fitting white cap, not unlike a night-sap, over which w >s tied or pinned s thin white scarr. This com? pleted th- h cac areas. Tbe bau of tho women was cut short and iaclosed in a small brown net. Ibo bair of the men was cut close to the scarp over tho forehead and temples, but allow? ed to grow long behind the ears. lu some cases it fell in tangled, tufted locks upon the shoulder. THE MANXES OE WO BS HIP. We had been seated buta few moments wben two of the sisters and brethren, acting a; lead? ers, began in a slow, drawling, sing-song tone to chant one ot' their peculiar soogs or hymuj, the words of which *e could not distinguish. All tbe worshippers at once joined io, moving their bands in an energetic manner np and down in unison with the music. S . veraI songs were thus sung-tbe peculiar gesture of tho open htnd being one of the ceremonies of their service. After this ceremony, one of the lead? ers stepped from the trout rauk and taking a position on the floor midway between the separated sexes, spoke a few words of exhorta? tion, admonishing the me nbers of the society to live in barmotiy and cling fast to the tenets of their faith. When be had finished he quiet? ly .ook bis olace again m tho ranks, and was followed by others in a similar strain. THE SHAKES SHUFFLE DANCE, During this time the worahippers stood im? mobile, witb eyes fixed on the floor and hands clasped together in the most supple attitude of humility. Not once did one of them move or lift the eye to the right or left. In the inter? vals of their service ton could have heard a pin fall in any part of the great ball of wor? ship. But this was only the first part of the service. Suddenly, at a signal from one of the leaders, all faced to the left-with the precis? ion of drilled soldiers-their backs to the snec ta tora. Taking regular distance from each other, the ce was active preparation for the ahuffl ) dance, which is also a part of their de? votional exercise. All entered into this dance with spirit, some of the brethren pulled off | their coats and hung them on the pegs around the walis nf the hall; and I was told that on exceedingly bot daja it is the custom of all the brethren to divest themselves af their coats and sometimes their waistcoats also, on the beginning of the danoo. CH?.NILNO rOB THE DANCERS. A half doz JU of the Bitters and bret bren, con-it ?tuting a choir, next took their positions iu fron*of the worshippers, and, facing each other, bogan again one of their peculiar chants, which could hardly be called a melody, gee tic latine; violently with their banda aa belo This wa? the music for the dancing. . moved forward in a sort of shuffl J step, BOC joining in the singing, and ail gesticulati wah their hands in unison with the singe: Mo vi u ? forward a step or two. all faced abo together and shuffled back to tbe poaitl which they bad occupied. This was continu without variation at le.-, st half an hour, and w;is surprising as well aa amusing to qos wi what zest and energy -ome of the oldei bret ren ?iud sisters entered into the exercise. THE KABOB ABOUND THE SANCTUARY. Suddenly this ceremony also ceased at a si nal from Borne one ot the leaders, and all tao again to ti.e right in the same position as wh we entered the house. Af.et remaining in t Bame meditativo, immobile position before d< cribed, for some moments, they began prep ration for another feature of the worship. 1 formed in colnmn of fours, according to neigt the men iii one coiamu ?.od toe women tn a other. Again the choir drawled out their do! ful chanta, and the column marched in step the music around tbe building, the woman ir reverse direction to that of the men.' Mai joined in chanting the music, and all ke time to the air in the peculiar empbatk ge ture of tho hands and srms as before. F half au hour at least did they thus man around ?he hill, tho choir forming a circle ai occuP'tng a stationary position in the cent ot tho floor, and at a signal all again assumt tbe position ihev had at first occupied, wit the precision of soldiers. THE END <>P THE DANCE. Again they stood fur a few moments as sile: ss so maov statues. The plain, white pii benches, which were piled one upon the otb' about tiie sides of the ball, were then takt dow: and plticed in position by the sisters st brethren respectively. ?egularly and silent as clockwork this was done, withoat any con mot on whatever. The men took their sea first, and then noiselessly as so many ghost the women glided to their proper places ac dropped on the benches. Both men and wornt took from theil pockets their large cotton bani kerchiefs or napkins, which they spread c their knees, and on vhicb they rested the hands. THE PBEACHING. The preacher of the community then steppe forward in front of the. visitors, bis oack t< ward the members of the society, and in calm, impassione.l manner began his disooursi which was addressed entirely to the visit?n It waa an artful, logical aignmenl in support < tbe Shaker creed; but although be spoke witt out notes, ii was easv to see that the adoree bad been carefully prepared for the oe casi ii He studiously avoided reference to the dogm of the sect, and only alluded to those parts c their creed on wbicn few persons would be ii dined to take issue. I was told, how?vei tba' frequently the preachers of tbe commun ty openly and energetically proclaimed tbei doctrine as the only true faith, and charactei ized all other orders as heathen. Ihe remark of the preacher concluded the devotional ei ercises of the morning. One of the leader arose, simply remarked, "The meeting is not dismissed," and then, without a word bern spoken or a look of recognition with on another exchanged, the Shakers silently glide ont of the ball, the women through one dooi and tbe men through another.

NE TTS PAP ER CIRCULATION. The Little -ore w?" Ahead of all the Pon? dero na New York Dalli ea, the Herald not r- xcepted. ? [From tho Kew Tori Dully Mews, August 6.] lt is hardly necessary to inform reflecting persona hat the publication of the gross som received by a newspaper office for subscrip? tions is not an infallible index of the Circula? tion of the journal to which ff ba* reference, unless accompanied By a publication cf the wholesale price at which the paper is sold. The I Herald, lor instauoe, publishes a list of the I gross receipts from subscriptions alone of all tbe joni nain in * this city save- one. potting down its own receipts for toe last quartet of 1868 at $188.395; of the first quarter or the present year at $199 757. and of the second quarter, ending oo June 80. at $204,912, while in the same list it gives the receipts of th? i News from subscriptions for the last quarter of 1868 at $64 750; those for the first quarter of the present ye*r at $66.750; and those of the quarter ending on June 80, 1869, at $69, 750. These facts are correct, and we unite with tho Herald m drawing pubiio attention to them. We agree iib .it that a table compiled from tbe returns of the Internal lievenue Depart? ment may be regarded as legal testimony of the mets therein stated; and *e moreover agree with it in every other particular to which lt refers in its oo rameuta yes'erday on the put lished list a I lu .ed to. except one, and that is its palpably self-denying assertion that "the Herald nearly doubles tbe circulation of any other daily journal.'' So far is the statement of the Herald from being correct, tbat we deem it a duty to sail its attention to tbe inexcus? able fallacy of its computation. Instead of its having a circulation double that of any journal, the News during the quarters computed io tbs list referred to, not oui y more than doubled the circulation of tbe Herald, but during the same time increased its ova circulation at a much greater ratio than marked tbe increase of the circulation of the Herald, as shown by the figures of the .internal it Tenue li?t, which we take occasion again to declare, in the words or tbe Herald, 'may be regarded as legal testi? mony of the facts therein stated." .Had the proprietor of the Herald, who could not have been ignorant of the challenge .. o some months since put forth io regard to tbe circulation of tue Newa-for it was published in the columns of that paper, and has not to this moment been accepted-confined himself to the mere publication of tbe internal revenue list of the returns of ne vspa per subscriptions: we would have left the public to ascertainby a veiy simple rule of arithmetic thal tbe News, which ls sold ' wholesale at half a cent a copy, must onto umber more than two to one the cir? culation cf the Herald, which is sold at whole? sale at three cents a copy. But as it was deemed necessary to make a declaration which might deceive those who look ooly at the gross receipts of tbe various newspapers as indices of their comparative oirculatiM, we have thought ?ironer to expose it, and suggest that the pub? ic ascertain for themselves whether or not our calcul ?hon of tbe comparative circul?t iou of the daily News and daily Harald is correct. The point is arrived at very readily after set? ting ont with the understanding that every copy of the News sells at the office at one-half coot a copy, and the Herald at three cents, and in niaav cases-perhaps one-sixth of the edition-at four tents, though we wilt give it the benefit of the latter. Had the wholesale once of the News, therefore been that at which the He rald sells, its receipts for the first quarter included io the list would have amounted to $883 500 instead of $64 750, wbile tba' receipts of the Herald from its sales at half a cent a copy, the wholesale price of the News, would have fallen to the comparativelv insignificant sum of $31.399 17. in placo of $188,395, and BO in li ko proportion with the teoeipts of the two papers during the other two quarters, the re? turns of which are comprehended in the in? ternal revenue list. Dividing the Herald's re? turns by six, and multiplying the news returns by the same figure, is t?e simple method by which tbe transmutation is accomplished. Ia ordor to give the Herald, or any other journal which it may Cancern, an opportunity ol' testing this question effectually, #re append the challenge we some time since published, with the hope that it may this time be ac? cepted: ?

The decoction by whick be bas boen thrown in this sad plight, it ls certain, was the same by which the interesting widow of tbe unfor? tunate Maximilian was thrown from the do? main of reason into tbe depths of lunacy. To us this unfortunate widow has always appear? ed like Shakespeare's Ophelia, who; with dark? ened min?, strewed['flowers on tbe stream. This poison, which maddens without bring? mg death to its viotim, is derived from an herb which grows in Cuba, South America and a few places in Mexico. The plant is one of tbe most wonderfol of nature's productions. It resembles the century plant in many of ita features. Like tbe century plant, it is a mem? ber of tbe cactus family; still farther, it blooms once in many years and at regular intervals. The bud is large, and resembles that of the horse-chestnut in the peculiar gluten surround? ing it. From this tbe natives derive the poison. Tue flower is of a gigantic Bize, and contains a purple centre, surrounded by bine and white circles. The perfume is delicious, but deadly, and the natives shun approach as the Bailors of the old songs ot the sirens. To inhale is sweet, but to remain is death. Tbe sorcerers, or medicine meo, tako the buds of this singu? lar plant, and, first roasting, place them in a pot with sweet oil over a Are, and dance around with strange ceremonies till the oil and juice of the herb mingle, when they caaao their strange incantations and pour tbe docootion, then resembling honey, into shallow plates, from which, after the lapse of a te v days, it is attain taken and kept in miniature jars. The pois n, ?hen taken in sufficient quanti? ty, first places the brain in a delightful deli? rium, resembling that produced by fusel oil; this is succeeded, in a few days, br an uncon? trollable a pa th., which atlast culminates in insanity, in whioh the patient is at times strangely rational, then wildly insane, and acain rational, but greatly exhilarated. This poison is not destroyed by being mingled in victuals before being subjected to heat, but its immediate effects are somewhat deaden? ed. Th*-y are sure to appear, however, in the lapso of time. This ts the manner in which the poison is generally administered. When the victim is of no great infljenea, and it is improbable that be can turn upon his poisoner, the decoction is administered in a glass of wine or a cup ot cocoa. Ibo poison manifests itself shortly, and in tho curse of t week all the various phases of the delirium appear. The sad tat? of the Empress Carlotta is known to all, but this description ot the poi? son, from what it is derived, and bow i*. acts, may add in forming a more correct approoia tiou ot the horrible troubles to which she is subject. General Lesea bas been poisoned by the same hexb, and is nsw subject to tbe same freaks of insanity as the Empress Carlotta. VANDERBILT AND GARRISON. A Queer Storr-Dl<t Commodore Garri? son try to Shoot Commodore Vander? bilt t Here is a new s'ory about the great "Bail road King" of New York : There is in New York a steamboat man by the name ot Garrison. When Vanderbilt began running bis steamers lo Sao Francisco, be en? gaged Garrison at ten thousand a rear to at? tend to his business at San Francisco. The contract was for ten thousand a year for ten years, and was in writing. A little time after the Commodore sold out bis interest to the Pacific Mail Company, and Garrison was left to himself. Tbe latter threatened and finally sued Vanderbilt, bat to no efl ct. At length, being weary ot Vanderbilt's delays, and being a mail famous for Ins Hen-ni eau powers, be call? ed upon tho Commodore at his tittle crnce m Fourth street, near Broadway. Oa entering be turned the koy and placed it in his pocknt. Turning to Vanderbilt, be said: "Commodore, you are at my mercy. You or I will never leave this office till you bavo settled with me." Upon this he drew out an imposing looking re? volver and eat down opposite the Commodore. Vanderbilt is not easily terrified. Address? ing Garrison, be said: "Captain, keep cool; you are joking. Even if I wished I could not par your demands here at this time." Garrison was undaunted by this, but ex? claimed : "Commodore, it is useless for you to talk so. This account most be settled. You or I will be dead, but I will not leave tbis office till you have paid me." "How cm I?" said Vanderbilt, now begin? ning to teel the discomfort of bis position. "Well," said Garrison, 'in that safe there you havo enough to pay me. This accouut must bc Bottled, or you or I die, that is all." The Commodore looked sternlv at Garrison tor a moment, then turned to bia safe, drow out some stocks and bonds, and baid : "Garri? son, you aro game. Here are stoc'ia an-J bondis. Tako your dues, and leave." Garrison selected one hundred thousand dollars of the precious cert'ficatos, pocketed them, and walkod off. Ever sines that time ho and Vanderbilt have beon good friends. Gar? rison is still boro among New York shipping mon, miuy of whom have known bim in even more serious roles than this we have described.

Physicians have ceased lo torture sud prostrate their patienta. Instead of pulling ?own, they bntld up; 1 osteal of assaulting Nature, they assist her. Cupping, leechtog, blistering, venesec? tion, calomel, antimony, srepifying narcotics, and rasping purgatives, once trie favorite resources of tbe faculty, are no? rarely resorted to even by the most dogmatl : membsrs ot the profession. The old creed was that disease was aomething which must be expel?; d bj violent artificial means, irrespective of tbe wear and tear of the vital orgarnzitlon in the process. The new creed recoxnlias the improve? ment of the general health as essential to tbe cure of all local ailment'. Hence it is tbat HOS TETTER'S STOMACH HITTER-', the most potent vegetable tonic tbat pharmacy has ever brjught to the assis? tance of nature in her tiruggles with disease, hat been cordially approved by practitioners of the modero school. It is pleasant to reflect that reston and Philosophv have at last b2en victorious over the errors of tho pa.?r, and that thousands, and tent of thousands, of human being* ara alive and well to? day, wbo would indubitably be mouldering in their graves, had they be-in subjected to the pains and penalties which were deemed orthodox and 'Indis? pensable thirty or forty years ago. Preventive medication was scarcely thought of then; but now it is considered ot ??rimount im? portance, and the celebrity of the standard invigor a>it, alterative and restorative of the ase, ,a title which HOSTErXEB'J BITTERS have fairly ea ned by their long career o? success) is mainly dne to ifs efficiency as a protective preparation.
