Mother on the Brain. ; The "Petersburg Judex saya.-th? writera of poetry ?lid music during the war all ran after mother, and ra<g all the changes on filial affection and maternal love. Some wag, who nsver had a mother, and never expects tc have' one, has written a bur? lesque upon the productions of these mo? therly poots. We give bia production, and at the same time sentence hi ai for ninety days to the penitentiary-sentence to be suspended, upon condition that he will not attempt anything so cruel again: As you look on the songs you see now-a days, . . Thie gentle word: of mo*her will surely meet your gaze: i'Who will care for Mother now?" if Tm numbered with the slain;. "Oh! bless me, Mother, if I die," with Mo? ther on tho brain. "Courage, Mother, I am going;" "Mother, I've oom? home to eat;" "Just before the battle, Mother," I was lying in the stroet; "I ?amiot call her Mother;" "The ring my Mother wore" waa plain: "Dear Mother, I've come homo to die," with Mother on the brain. "What is home witheut a Mother?" "It waa my Mother's voice:" "Sing me to sleep, Mother," I feel I'm growing worse; "Be quiet, do, I'll call my Mother;'' Mo? ther's coining in thc rain: "Let me kiss him for his Mother;" with Mother on the br? iii. '.It was my Mother's- custom;" "My gentle Mother dear;'' ( "I was my Mother's darling," Tor I loved her lager beer. "Kiss me, good night, Mother," and bring me a Bourbon plain; .'Mother, dear, I feel I'm dying," with Mo? ther on the brain. ' A WrXiD BEAST FIGHT.-At Sauinur, (France,) there lately occurred a com? bat, between a lion and a hyena in a menagerie, Which is thus described: The tamer was in a largo cage with a lion and a hyena. After having made them go through several per? formances, lie gave some meat, ^s usual, to the two animals, when sud? denly the lion, animated by the-smell of flesh, threw himself on the hyena, overturned him, and bit him in the neck. The savage instincts of the king of the desert manifested them? selves immediately; the more the blood flowed, the more he seemed to be roused; and his sinister look in? spired the most serious fears for M. Schmidt, the lion tamer. He did not, however, lose his courage for an in? stant. The first means which he employed were blows from a whip. A revolver was soon handed to him; with this, he discharged several shots at the lion, which did not in the least move him, as he still kept his victim between ..his teeth, and it appeared almost without life. Great concern prevailed in the boxes; the women cried, and perhaps the uproar excited the lion. The employees of the menagerie assem? bled round the cago. They passed a drag hook at M. Schmidt, who made it penetrate the mouth ol' the lion, 'while some of them gave the animal repeated blows through the bars. The lion then yielded, and precipitat? ed himself on tlie bars. II. Schmidt seized this opportunity to retire, dragging with liiu\tlie hyena, into a neighboring cage. A door then sepa? rated them from the lion. It was time; for, already furious, he was approaching, and, his mouth being covered with blood, dashed at the door. M. Schmidt .showed himself to the spectators and received their con? gratulations, but lie was pale and covered with blood. The hyena is grievously wounded, but w ill recover. For Congress.

TOBIN, who was for a length of time Connected with the old firm of Hotchkiss, Fenner X Bennett, has an inter? est in the present firm, and will devote lija attention principally to the Slate of Sousa Carolina. His address will be Clinton, Laurens Distrjct.-_Oct 3 Imo To the Citizens of South Carolina. The termination of a sanguinary contest, which for the past four years bas presented an impassable barrier to all social or com? mercial intercourse between the two great section* of our conntry, having at length happily cleared away all obstacles to a re? moval of those relations which formerly bound us together in a fraternal union, I take the earliest opportunity afforded me by this auspicious event, to greet my South- j mi friends, and to solicit from them a re? newal of that extensive business connection rhich for a quarter of a .entary has beeo niunterrupted, ear? by ihm great ?ubke calamity to ?hieb I hare adverted. It is scarcely necessary, o? the thresh jld of-a business re-nnion, I should repeat tho warning so often given ?o my friends-to beware of alHkose spurious and deleteri? ous compounds which, ender the specious and false titles of Imported Wines, 'Bran? dies, Holland Grin, Liquors, &?., kare been equally destructive to th? health of ?er citizens as prejudicial to the interests of th? legitimate importer. Many years of my past lif? hav? been expended ie an open and candid attempt to expose these wholesale frauds; no time nor expense has been spared to accomplish this salutary purpose, and to plaoe before my friends and the public generally, at the lowest possible market price, and in euch quantities as might suit their convenience, a truly genuine imparted article. . Twenty-five-years' business transactions with the largest f?nd most respectable ex? porting houses in Franco and Great Britain bare afforded me unsurpassed facilities fer supplying our home market with Wines, Liquors and Liquores of the best and most approved brands in Europe, in addition to my ?wu distillery in Holland for thc manu? facture of the "Schiedam Schnapps." .Th? latter, so long tested- and approved by . the medical faculties of the United States, West Indies and South America as an invaluable Therapeutic, a wholesome, pleasant and perfectly safe beverage in all climates and during all seasons, quickly excited the cupidity of the home manufac? turers and venders of a spurious article under the same uame. I trust that I have, after much toil and expense, surrounded all my importations with safeguards and directions which, with ordinary circumspection, will insure their delivery, as I receive them from Europe, to all my customers. I woidd, however, recommend, in all cases where it is possible, that orders be sen? direct to my Depot, '22 Beaver s treet, New York, or that purchases^e made of my accredited agents. In addition to a large otoek of Wines, Brandies, &c, in wood, I have a consider? able supply" of old tried foreign Wines, em? bracing vintages of many past years, bot? tled up before the commencement of the war, which I eau especially recommend to all connoisseurs of these rare luxuries. In conclusion, I would specially call the attention of my Southern customers to the advantage to be derived by transmitting their orders without loss of time, or cabing personally at the Depot, in order to insure the fulfillment of their favors from the pre? sent large and woll selected assortment. ur>oL,mo WOLFE, Oet 3 lme 22 Beaver at., New York.
