his lirois cjas'sting of a tattered pair of breech and •too'xings, a pair of slippers, and a great-coat thirty years old, which datup had reduced lo rottenness. He was penniless, too ''bit,'' eayshe, "I was regurdles of all these circnrastances it was e-otig'i that I was again free!"

Wi'h sonic money, which he borrowed from a person who knew his family, LattrJe procured decent clothing. He called on M. Lc Noir, w*io received him not unfaror.bly, and desired Lira to depart without d:\iy for Monlagnac. Unfortunately, ho did not follow this advicc. He lingered in Paris to draw up a memorial to the king, soliciting a recompense for his plans and he had an interview with the Prince de Keauvcau, to whom he related his woeful oiory. In his memorial, he mentioned M. do iSariinc and though he intimates hat lie s:\id nothing offensive, we may doubt whether he manifested much forboara.ice. The ministers now gave him peremptory orders to quit Paris it is obviotu that they were acquainted with his memorial, and were irritated by it beyond .measure. lie had proceeded forty-three leagues on his journey to the south of France, when ho was overtaken by an ffijir of the police, who carried him back a prisoner to the capitol.

Litude was now taught that hitherto he had not reached the lowest depth of misery he was doomed to experience a "bitter change, severer for severe." Till this time his companions in suffering hid been men with whom it was no disgrace to associate but in ill is instance, he was tossed among a horde of the most abandoned ruffians on earth he was immured in the Bicctre, in the part of the goal which was appropriated to swindlers, thieves, murderer.*, arid other atrocious criminals, the scum aud offseouring of France. On his arrival there, he was stripped, clad in the course and degrading prison aUire, thrust into a dungeon and supplied with a scanty portion of bread and water. Eight-and-thirty months were spent in this infernal abode.

Gloomy as appearances were the dawn of ft brighter day was at hand. A providential occurrence which seemed calculated to destroy his last hope, was the cause of his redemption. In 1781 the Preside Gourgue visited the Bicctre, heard the s'.ory of Latude, desired that the captive would draw up a memorial, and promised sto exert himself in his behalf. Latude wrote the memorial, and intrusted it to a caroless messenger, who dropped it in the street. The packet was luund by a young female, Madame Legro.s, who carried on in an humble way the business of a mercer, and whose husband was a private teacher.

The envelope being torn by laying in the wet, and the seal broken, she looked at the (Oatonts, which were signed "Mayers de Latude, a prisoner during thirty-two yenrs at the Hastilc, at Vincennes, and at the Bi cctrc, where he is confined on bread and water, inn dungeon ten feet underground."

The gentle heart of Madame Legros was shocked at the idea of the protracted agony which the prisoner must have suffered.— After she had taken a copy of the memorial, her husbaud, who participated in her feelings, carried it to the president, and it is delightful to know that her noble labors were crowned with success. Ilcr toils, and the result of them, arc thus summed up by Latude, who has also narrated them at great length. "Being thoroughly conviuccd of my innocence, she resolved to uttcmpt my liberation she succeeded, after occupying three years in unparalled efforts, and unwearied perseverance. Every feeling heart will be deeply moved at the recital of the means she employed and the difficulties she surmounted. "Without relations, friends, fortune, assistance, she undertook everything, and shrank from no danger and no fatigue. She penetrated to the levees of ministers, and forced her way to the presence of the great she spoke with the natural cloqucucc of truth, and falsehood fled before her words. They extinguished them, received her with kindness and repulsed her rudely she reiterated her petitions, aud returned a hundred times to the attack, emboldened by defeat itself. "The fric7ids her virtues had

bis delifirtr. Two other penakmi, of 600 litres and 100 erowMr'were soon after granted by indiriduals to Madame Legross, aud die Monjton gold medal, annually given as the prize of virtue, was nuani mously adjudged to her by the French Academy. The income of Latude also obtained some increase bat it was not till 93 that it received any addition of importance in that year he brought an action against the heirs of (he Marchioness de Pompadour, and heavey damages were awarded to him. Notwithstanding the severe shocks his frame had undergone, the existence of Latude was protracted till 1805 when he died at the age of eighty.

LOSS OF THE CENTRAL

AMERICA.

Tl:e imagination may not conjure up a more overwhelming picturc than the foundering of a ship at sea. As a ship breasting the ocean in safety is one of the noblest objects for human contemplation, the ship in a storm is most appalling, and the ship a wreck the most heartrending. If there is one place where men agree, where the thoughts of hundreds are unanimously harmonized by the isolation in which they are linked, and the one hope that sustains every heart, it is on board a ship In a wreck, every man falls back upon his selfpreservative individuality, and no more madly disintegrated mass of creatures may be imagined than those who there hope against hope. It is truly selfishly appalling.

Then to know that there is not a living soul upon the shattered hull who is not, probably, the hope, strength, and idol of some one who is anxiously awaiting his arrival—awaiting tho arrival of some son, who has hardened his young features toiling to build up a calm, in the shadow of which his aged parents may go down peacefully to the resting-place of humanity— some young husband, who, in the bitter agouy of absence, has faced er. r/thi:g save disgrace and dishonor in a far-off land, struggling to weave that chaplet for the broAV of the dear one "at home," beneath the radiance of which life may be warmed into its meridian by an equally bounteous light—some father, who, in the proud ambition to see his children give his name to history and the world, is returning with the means by which the culture of the

before them —to think that

human stoin clinging to that deck, or

lashed to the spar, has loving branches living on it, afur over the sounding sea, who derive sap, sustenance, and bloom from it, and without whom life is a morbid impost on duty —to think this, to know it, is to believe that which no mother, wife, or daughter, no son, husband, or father, can contemplate without almost losing confidence in that wondrous Providence from which, at last, the exhausted being can only find comfort.

The news of the terrible disaster which has befallen the Central America has sent a chastening thrill through the community. Out of nearly seven hundred people, but sixty are said to have escaped. The dreadful sacrifice of human life, and the happiness that depended on it, to say nothing of the still further social disasters which may spring from pecuniary panic the loss of much treasure seems to portend, suggests the most touching and bewildering contemplation. It is a contemplation, too, which is without avail, as the sea cannot yield up its dead. Who can comfort the hundreds of families, the thousands of men, women, and children who arc widowed and orphaned this day? Who can restore the human axle in which all these families were entered, and around which thev revolved?

SENATOIt lOl! LAS BY ?i OPPOSITION I'APEK. The following Sketch of HON. STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS, by the editor of a Republican paper, the Newburyport (Mass.) Herald is graphic and amusing. It appears that he was a passenger with Judge DOUGLAS on a trip in the cars from St. Louis to Chicago, at the close of the celebration of the opening of the Ohio and Mississip pi railroad in June last.

That little man, with a big, round head, a brow almost as broad as Webster's, and a quick, active eye, that rolls under the heavy projecting brow, watching every other man, and not allowing a motion to escape him—with arms too short for his body, which is full and round as though it never lacked the juises that supply life and with small duck'-legs, which, had they grown as thick as his back-bone, (and they would probably, if Providence had not forsecn that he would want back-bone more than legs in his battle of life,) would have made him of respectable stature. That little man is no less than the great politician of the West, who has attracted more attention in the last four years than any other man of the nation, and done more to give direction to public affairs than even the President, with a milllion and a half vo tcrs to his back, and the army, navy, and treasury of North America at his command It is the "Little Giant," Stephen A. Douglas, with whom wc parted company at Vin ccnncs, and who has slowly come along, feeling the public pulse to learn the politic health of the "suckers" up to Springfield the capital of the State.

The means of success in Senator Doug las are very apparent. First he is really and intellectually a great man. Eastern people who view him only as a low politician, should disabuse their minds in relation to one who is to exorcise a wide influence in the affairs of the country, and very probably—for he is yet young—to be the head of "the Itcpublic. He is massive in his conceptions, .abroad and comprehensive ia his views, aud in a good measure is endowed with all those powers of mind that make a statesman.

But he is greater still iu energy of character. There arc those who think that a defeat of him next year would be his death in politics but the man who sprung from a cabinet-maker's shop in Vermont, and without father or friend worked his way to an honorable place in the bench of Judges, who entered Illinois with less than fifty cents in money and not one cent in credit, and has acquired great wealth and the highest station and influence, is not easily to be whipped out. But if he is great in mind, and greater in energy, he is greatest in those winning manners from which the world calls him a demagogue.— Scarcely a man, woman or child in the cars escaped his attention, or was passed by unspoken to. At one moment he talks with the old, stern-visaged politician, who has been soured by a thousand defeats and disappointments, iu tho next to that wellformed and gentle Keutuckian, who has ju.st sought a free State: now he sits down with a little girl approaching her teens, and asks of her school studies and he pats the little boy on the head, and, in the presence of his foud mother and proud father, (what father is not proud to see his boy noticed?) says a word of his mi'd eyes or glossy locks. Again the lady is approached with a fair word and a bland smile, and goes home pleased to tell hor husband or father how he looks and what he says, and then half dozen are about him, all standing together. lie can talk religiou with the priest as well as politics with the statesman he can congratulate the newly appointed Buchanan oflice-liolder, who has supplanted his friend, tell the displaced friend of the "good time coming," when his wing .shall be up and at every station, more regularly than the conductor Mr. Douglas is upon the platform, with a good bye to the leaving, and a welcome to the departing traveler—a shake of the hand with one man that stands at the depot, and a touch of the hat to another. He knows everybody can tell the qvicstion that effects each locality calls the name of every farm owner on the way tells all travellers something of the homes they left that they never knew themselves, and suggest what they are adapted for in this life, and what place they deserve in heaven. Now, such a man as that, in contact with everybody, knows everybody, and capable of pleasing everybody, and at the bottom wrapped up with the one idea of preferment, power and dominion among men, is not easily to be put down aud his opponents might as well believe at once, that when they fight hira they fight a strong man—a little giant indeed. He would be popular in Boston or anywhere else, and half the "three thousand clergymeu" he denounced would have their hearts stolen if he could speak to them a half hour.

A SOURCE OF ELOQUENCE.—Daniel Webster, on being committed for his eloquence on a memorable occasion, is said to have replied:

Sir, I am far from thinking that my poor effort the other day has the remotest claim to the panegyric you have been pleased to bestow upon it but if anything I have said or written deserves the feeblest encomiums of my fellow-countrymen, I have no hesitation in declaring that for their partiality I am indebted, solely indebted, to the daily and attentive perusal of the Sacred Scriptures, the source of all true poetry and eloquence, as well at,of all good an! of all romfort.

^CALIFORNIA MAILS LOST. ra

The folloinng is a statement by Mr. TTenry H. Childs, one of the surviving passengers of the ill-fated Central America. It is a thrilling narrative: I I:

I left Havana in the steamship Central America (or New York on Sept. 8: The weather was delightful, and the sea calm on the.passage from Aspinwall. On the forenoon of the day of sailing from Havana fresh westerly breeies sprang np. On the following morning the wind blew very strong, the gale continuing to increase in violence as the day advanced. At night there was no abatement in the fury of the gale, and it commenced raining in torrents. On Thursday it blew a hurricane, the sea running very high.

On Friday the storm raged fearfully.— At 11 o'clock in the morning of this day it was first known among the passengers that the steamer had sprung aleak and was making water fast. A line of men was immediately formed, and they went to work bailing out the water from the engine rooms, the fires having already extinguished. We gained on the water so

mucTi

that

we were able to get up steam again, but wc held it but a few minutes, and then it stopped forever. Bailing continued, however, and was kept up in all parts of the ship until she finally went down

During Friday night the water gained gradually, but all on board being in pretty good spirits, they worked to the best of their ability, feeling that when the morning came, they possibly might speak some vessel, and thus be saved. The fatal Sat-" urday came at last, but brought nothing but increased fury in the gale. Still we worked on, and at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon the storm lulled a little, and the clouds broke away. Hope was renewed, and all now worked like giants. At 4 P. M. we spied a sail, and fixed guns and placed flags at halt-mast. It was seen, and the brig Marine bore down upon us. We thon considered safety certain.

She came near us and we spoke to her asid told our condition. She laid by about a mile distant, and we, in the only three boats saved, placed all the women and children, and they were safely put aboard the brig. As evening was fast approaching we discovered another sail which responded to our call and came near us.— Captain Herndon told our condition and asked them to lay by and send a boat as we had none left. She promised to do so but that was the last we saw of her except at a distance which grew greater and greater every moment.

At 7 o'clock we saw no possibility of keeping afloat much longer, although we all felt that if wc could do so until morning all would be saved. In a short time a heavy sea for the first time broke over the upper deck of the vessel, and then all hope faded away. Life-preservers were now supplied to all, and we sent up two rockets, when a tremendous sea swept over us, and the steamer in a moment went down. I think some four hundred or four hundred and fifty sbiiis were launched upon the ocean, at the mercy of the waves. The storm at this time had entirely subsided. We all kept near together, and went as the waves took us.

There was nothing, or very little, said except that each one cheered his fellowcomrade on. Courage was thus kept up for two or three hours, and I think for this space of time none had drowned but three who could not swim because exhausted.— After this, gradually one by one passed away to eternity. The hope that boats would be sent to us from two vessels we had spoken soon fled from us, and our trust was alone in Providence—"and what.better trust could you or I ask for?"

I saw my comrades sink fast and at one o'clock that night I was nearly alone upon the ocean, some two hundred miles from land. I heard, however, shouts from all that could do so, that were not far from me but I could not see them. Within an hour from this time I saw a vessel, which I judged to be about one mile from me.— Taking fresh courage I stuck out for the vessel, and reached it when nearly exhausted, and the}' drew me on board of it by ropes. It proved to be a Norwegian bark from Belize, Honduras, bound for Falmouth, Eugland. I found on board of her some three of my comrades, and at o'clock next morning we had 49 noble fellows on board, and these are all I know ot having been saved.

We stayed about the place until we tho't that all alive had been rescued, aud then set sail. We found the bark short of provisions and the crew living on gruel. We had some tea and coffec to refresh ourselves, aud at noon on Sunday we spoke the American bark (the Sayonij) bound for Savannah which supplied us with provisions, and took five of us on board.

Capt. Rodgers, another of the surviving passengers, states that "the cause of the stoppage of the engine was by the neglect of the fire room and engine department, in not getting coal along from the bunkers to the lire room fast enough to keep up the fires, and consequently all the engines stopped as well as the pumps attached to the engines. The deck pumps were found to be out of order, and companies were organ ized for bailing, while the steward's gang went down to pass the coal along. By this time the fires were put out, and the water became so heated in the hold of the ship, and the steam engendered was so great, that they were compelled to abandon passing the coal. He further states: "Captain Herndon remained at the wheel I was standing aft on the quarter-deck.— Some jumped over and put out from the now rapidly descending ship, and seized whatever they could. No one shrieked or cried, but all stood calm and collected.— The captain behaved nobly, and said he would not leave the ship. 1 promised him I would remain with him, as also did the second officer, Mr. Frazer. All at once the ship, as if in the agony of death herself, made a plunge on an angle of fort} five degrees, and, with a shriek from the engulphed mass, she disappeared, and five hundred human beings floated out on the bosom of the oeean with no hope but in death."

THEATRICAL AXKCDOTK-TIIETR AGED OF II AM LET.

The celebrated English tragedian, Sir. Macready, was noted among his theatrical brethren for his particular manner of conducting rehearsels, and alse for insisting upoh having every line of the text spoken. If a great many stars now traveling were to adopt the same plan, it would be much better both for the audience and actors but this is not a subject I shall dwell upon, but proceed at5 once to my story.

During Mr- Macready's engagement in the West, he once came across a couple of actors whov were attached to the Chicago Theatre both of them were ignorant and self-sufficient, besides being invariably imperfect in the text. "Hamlet," was Macready's favorite part he was very much horrified at rehearsal to see one of the gentlemen before mentioned reading the part of the King. "My dear sir!" asked the great tragedian, '.'did you ever play the part?" "Why no old boss, I guess not," was the reply, "but I'll get through it at night, somehow."

Too much offended to say anything, Macready only shrugged his shoulders, and let the rehearsal proceed. Night came, and likewise the last scene of Hamlet.— The unhappy "King" had been mangling jioor Shakespear all through the piece, but his greatest effect was in the last scene the words he should have spoken ran thus: "Stay! give me drink!

Ilanilet, this ponrl is thine! lioro's to thy health ("Jive l.ini the clip!"

The following however, was the style in which he delivered them: "Hold on a spell! jive me a horn! Come, llamlet take a drink!" At this original mode of rendering Shakepear, the audience were in perfect convulsions of laughter, while the enraged Hamlet left the theatre and the city declaring that no amount of money could ever induce him to appear there again.—iV.

The Boston Post recently heard of

and gave full credit to a young lady who, upon being given a seat iu a railroad car, thanked the gentleman who had vacated it. The next day the same paper was informed of the following incident communicated by one of the parties:

A lady—I suppose she was a lady, for she wore beautitul clothes—got into a car which was completely or-cupicd, and all were ladies 6ave a Cainbrid i-: student and myself. She looked anzi. u:t!y about for a seat. The student politely relinquished his whereupon the lady threw herself in-1 to it, her hoops clattering heavily, without: expressing the slightest thanks whatever. The student looked anxiously at the occupied spot as if he had lost or left something, and asked her to rise a moment that he might search the cushion. She acquiesced student immediately glided into the place and, having installed himself, he allowed the lady to stand the remainder of the journey, as a reward for her want of civility.

LUXURY AT DELHI.

A corrcapondcnt of the London Illus• trated Netcs, writing from Delhi, gives the following account of the luxurious mode of life prevalent in that city:

Luxury, even now, can go no farther in the East than it is to.be found at Delhi.— Even now all the best dancing women, the bird tamers, the snake charmers, the Persian musicians, the jugglers, congregate from every part, not only of India, but of Asia, at Delhi. Hundreds cf romances might be written of the lives of men and women who, from this degraded class, became Court favorites, and by ready wit, personal beauty, and dark intrigue ruled where they were wont to serve and, even now, under absolute English rule, dissipation ever holds wild revelry at Delhi.— Young men, both in civil and military services, were too soon influenced by the contagions and enervating influences of Delhi and its Oriental pleasures. Many a noble fortune,

fine intellect, and the material

for high moral character, have yielded before the Circe-like temptations of this great Moslem capital and the song and the dance have followed too qaickly the decisions of Courts and the cries of those demanding jnstice at our hands.
