WASHINGTON correepondentsaya that great pains are taken in the navy to have FABBAGUT'S

name pronounced Farra^ew.

The country is getting no nice that the Detroit Free Press says that we may noon expect to hear violinists complain of the Bcarity of suitable catgew fiddle-strings. a£

THE London Post directs attention to the practice in England of sending un,1 worthy ships to sea. salt states that it .•*/ could name one port on the northeast coast of England (no doubt the Tyne) •. where -a speculator of originally small means made a fortune by owning wrecks, patching them up with canvas, pitch and oakum, and sailing them till they went under, crew and all. The ships were insired to the owner.

AN EXCHANGE says Mr. ANDREW

.JOHNSON

has fulfilled his claim to be con

sidered the "Moses" of the nineteenth eentury. He was permitted to go up on the "Piagah" of fifty one vote: and look over into the United States Senate Chamber, but not to enter the promised land. Whereupon the Cincinnati Times inquires if we may not hope that he will carry out the figure and die there, and be buried, BO that no man shall ever know his grave?

THE Census Committee will meet at Washington the 17tli instant, and not the 23th, as has been erroneously stated.— The important question of reducing the ratio of representation in Congress, and thereby, while increasing the number of members of the house.-*, reducing the labor of correspondence, etc., now devolved up"•2 on them, will be considered by the committee. It has many friends, and prom" —ises to be a subject of more than ordinary interest during the next session.

THE London Star recently discussed the necessity of adopting some severe penalty against the English prac.ice of wifebeating, and recommends that the public flogging of the wife-beaters would be the most effective detriment in the world. The Star claims that there is plenty of wife-beating among the well-to-do classes, especially among the beneficed clergy. ,• The agitators of woman suffrage will find such a state of society a difficult one to contend with in the race for equal rights, regardless of gender.

THE Marquis of Westminster, lately deceased, was the richest man in England, lie was the owner of Grosvenor Square, and the adjacent streets. The property will soon yield an income of £400,000 per year to the present Marquis. Even this enormous sum will, it is estimated, be eclipsed •-I by the income of Mr. WM.B. ASTOR from cj his property in New York, when the long leases upon which it was rented years ago, fall in. The fortunes of ASTOR,

Louis has a judge who understands his business, and no mistake. In sentencing an ignorant German, who had been convicted of murder in the first degree, but recommended to mercy, Judge

PRIM,

after

•'. .s: .alluding to the recommendation and advising the criminal to banish all illusive hopes, said: "Endeavor to bring your mind and heart to such a frame and condition that you maybe ad utrumqueparaius, ready for either fortune." We have no doubt that the advice was indellibly stamped upon the mind of the prisoner, and that he has resolved to be ad tUrumquc paratus.

IT IS stated, and we hope correctly, that Secretary BELKNAP, after a conference with the President and General

SHERMAN,

has ordered the several bureau heads of the War Depaitment to furnish him with the proper data, and will forthwith commence the preparation of his annual report. It has been stated that General SHERMAN would prepare it but the new Secretary it is understood, claimed the right to do it himself, adding, with all due respect to General

SHERMAN,

that he

would be obliged to sign it, and,consequently would be responsible for it. He will, of

course, listen to the suggestions of the General, but will insist on the right to make any recommendations that he may see fit, regardless of the opinions of his predecessors.

THE New York Post comes out strongly against an elective judiciary. It claims that after a fair trial of twenty-three years in that State, there has been a progressive change in the character of the bench its dignity lias been lowered, its ability has decreased, the respect paid to its judgments both at home and abroad has steadily fallen off. The change, the Post says, has been most rapid in the great cities, but it has been going on throughout the State and all the time. The Post concludes as follows: "The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, whose decisions during the early part of this century were famous in both hemispheres as models of judicial wisdom and style, is now a local political tribunal, whose judgements are often angrily discussed in the party press of the State, and rarely beyond it. In short, wherever judges are elected by the people, they have lost not only the unquestioning respect of the community, but much of the qualities which deserve it."

THE Express is not exactly satisfied with the Erney verdict.—Journal. i*inrl the same opinion prevails with mor6than three-fourths of this community—Express.

Isn't that a very grave reflection upon the prosecution? What will Cols. Thomp„BOn and Baird say? Are the courts and the bar to be always subjected to the -v gneers and complaints of the particularly smart people who run the Express concern .'l —Journal.

It will be seen that the Journal propounds three interrogatories. We will .^'-answer them seriatim: 1. It is not a reflection on the prosecution. 2. We do not know what those gentlemen ill say, nor are we afflicted with any apprehensions in relation thereto.—

Thcv know their own business, and will be quite likely to attend to it without the Journal's valuable assistance. 3. The courts and the bar have not been, and will not be "subjected to sneers" from this paper, but all public officials, of -r whatever name, will be likely to hear ^"complaints" from us whenever we deem «j&:r<thcir official conduct deserving of censure. All the officers who constitute a court are servants of the public, agents -selected by the people for the performC' a£"5ance certain 'specific duties. A free press is the organ of the people, the '.channel through which popular indigna~ tion as well as popular approval of un•v" Jaithfiil or faithfnl servants, as the case vi 'may be, finds expression.

Now the Philadelphia Inquirer prints a letter from Mr. GEORGEWILKES in Paris, to a friend in Philadelphia, giving some particulars of a conversation with the distinguished Dr. BHOWN-SEQUAKD, in the course of which the latter directed Mr. WTLKE'S attention to certain articles which had recently appeared in a Paris journal on the Emperor's health. They were written* Dr. BROWN-SEQUARDsaid, by a man who had once been a physician to the Emperor—a man of great ability but dissolute habits—who had lost his standing in society and liis employment by the Emperor, but who, nevertheless, knew the latter's constitution well: I "This man has violated all professional obligations in these articles, and has disclosed the secret that the Emperor is suffering under an incurable disease which must soon put an end to him."

Bayard Taylor's Second Home.

BY HOWABI) GLYNDON.

He calls it Cedarcroft,anda fitter name for it could not be found. Croft is old Saxon for a small field, and the house is built on the rise of a sloping field which, for some fifty years, had been given over entirely to Nature. Hence a generation of splendid cedar trees and a thick growth of grass, weeds wild flowers, and tame flowers ran wild in which condition the field remained until tlie g: ound was broken for the foundation of Cedarcioft The house is so built that the main en trance fronts in a northerly direction, and the great door is readied ihrough a threearched vestibule, which is formed by the lower story of a high turret, which projects midway from the main body of the building. Over the front arch is a square of white stone, let in', the brick wall, bearing the inscription—

BAYARD, MARIE

TAYLOR,

1859.

„£5

You approach the house through a bit of woodland, where the trees are very tall and old and the undergrowth undisturbed. The house is a pleasant surprise for which you are not prepared, even by two or three pale red gleams which you get of it through the foliage of a large tree, which almost wholly intercepts the view till you get quite close to it. There is a peach orchard to the west, as you emerge from the trees. In the rear of the house there is a belt of cedars, and the forest trees rise up high behind these, like a dark green wall. In fact, they zone the house and the sloping lawn wholly around with the exception of a small open space at the lowest extremity of the slant on the southeast, where it ends in a little hollow. Straight from the house to this hollow the distance is about a quarter of a mile.— Here the proprietor intends to have an artificial pond by-and-hy. He is fond of uniting utility with beauty, and he declares that the pond shall be useful as well as ornamental, as he intends to drown all the disagreeable people whom he can get hold of in it. Being of a philantluopical as well as of a practical turn of mind, he ofi'ers the loan of it, in prospective, to any and all of his friends and acquaintances" for the same purpose.

The great beauty of this sunny slope which runs down into the hollow is, that its natural wildness is not broken up, but only gently restrained. No attempt at artificial ornamentation has been made, I am glad to say, beyond the keeping of a portion of it well trimmed, and interspersing among the cedars here and there a few clumps of shrubbery and flowering plants. The steepest part of the slope occurs on the southeast front of the house the descent has been made gradual by fashioning it into two terraces, one above the other, which are appropriated to flower-beds, with paths winding among and dividing them.

At some distance, in a southwesterly direction, is a rustic table and seats, under the shade of a clump of fine old walnut trees. It is just far enough from the house to make it a pleasant place to have coffee brought of a pleasant summer afternoon. About a hundred yards farther on, and farther west, are two great chestnut trees,of immensegirill, whose age no man living knows. The library has a fine bay window, which looks well from the outside: but that part of the house which fronts upon the lawn appears most attractive at present. Two verandas, above and below, run the whole length of the building, save where they are sepa rated by a large projecting window, something like a bow window, which runs the whole length of the middle chamber, |up stairs and down. These verandas .are heavily festooned with the thick and pic turesque foliage of the trumpet flower, which hangs its flame-colored bugles upon the very gables of the homestead.

Bayard Taylor's library fronts upon one of these verandas, and should be and is the most interesting room in his house. The prevailing hue of the walls is a dark rich crimson the woodwork is of a deep brown, as are also the fittings of the bookcases and the frames of the photographs and engravings. In a case with a glass front, which is let into the middle of the bookshelves which line one side of the room,is the original model of a monument to Shakspeare, by Launt Thompson on the top of this case stands a small antique bronze of the Dancing Fawn. A life-size bust of Goethe (which has a wonderful live expression for ahead done in niarble, and gives the man to-us idelized into the poet)overtops the books in another corner There is also a bust of Bryant, which is almost as like as life and, among others, one of Virgil, with a classical finish about it.

An expressive photograph of Jthe poet Tennyson hangs upon one of the walls, and let into the frame below it are two autograph notes from Tennyson and Thackerav. Tennyson's is addressed to Thackeray on a matter concerning Bayard Taylor, and is in a cramped but very legible handwriting. So, I should have imagined, Chaucer or Dryden might have written, it has such an air of scholarly quaintness and old-time style about it.— Thackeray's note begins: "My dear B. T." and both notes have a special interest to us, now that the great novelist is dead, and that is why I mention them. There are several good likenesses of Thackeray hung in different parts of the house. A holy family, by Lorenzo de Credi, hangs above the fireplace, and is the only oil paiting of any size in the room. A picture which hangs below it, a little to one side, possesses a sad interest for me. It is a faithful, engraved portrait of Dr. Kane, the Arctic explorer^the best I have seen of him. Below^ it, and let into the same frame, is a little pencil sketch made by himself in the Arctic regions—a desolate waste of snow, a rigid surface of water, an ice-bound ship, and a tent, with a flag over it, on the shore near by a useless anchor, a coil of rope and abarrel lying upon the snow two muffled-up figures in the foreground, and an Esquimaux dog prowling near the tent. In one corner is written, by Dr. Kane's own hand, "Kensselear Bay, latitude 78° 37'N."

There are all sorts of relics of foreign trav el scattered around, and every vase, and picture, and photograph, and sculptured figure has its separate story—being connected by the owner with some cherished association. There is a rare copy of the Genus of Milo on a pedestal in one cornner.

The books and periodicals overflow the library shelves, and usurp the chairs as well as the round table, which stands in one corner with a cosy lounge drawn up to it. It is the very nook in_ which to pore over the albums of choice photographs of the old masters and Pompeiian designs, or the large portfolios of Bayard Taylor's own sketches in oil, done during his various journeyings about the world, which lie around. There was a time when his life-purpose was to be a painter. Fortunately, he knew how to discriminate between appreciation,...and capacity,

As for the books, they represent "many men of many minds." His collection of books of travel—made with the definite purpose of giving up his life to exploration, and before nis own narratives had been published and had become so popular, and before he had decided to hold fast tp Literature as a master-craft, and not as a supplementary art to that of the Sight Hunter is very extensive. H« has al. so good store of the best poetical utterances of our mother tongue. In German literature his collection is one of the largest in private hands among Americans in this country—especially of books concerning Goethe, the translation of whose Faust he has recently completed. The notes to it will keep him at work a year longer. He has lately been made Professor of German Literature Cornell University, and will deliver lectures there on the subject in March of the coming year. Volumes, autographically inscribed and received at first hands from the authors of them, swell his collection largely.

Bayard Taylor almost lives in his library. He sits at along desk-table, covered with books, papers and manuscripts, and writes, writes, writes all day, varying the occupation from time to time by reading, and very often smoking as he reads or wrius Cut the segars of his smoking are of such an etherial sort that you wouldn't know he was smoking one if you didn't happen to see it between his lips. The chair in which he sits is covered over with chimeras in tapestry, by fingers which are as deft with the pen as with the needle. They are the same that translated "The Story of Kennett" into German. People will think of her by-and-bve, when they read the "Marie" intercarved with that of "Bayard" over the free portals of Cedarcroft, long after host and hostess shall have passed away from the mansion which the united head and heart of these two has rendered happy and harmonious in its appointments.

The change from an exceedingly active life to one which is essentially sedentary has had the effect of causing Bayard Taylor—in his younger days as lean as an Arab—to grow almost suddenly stout. Nature will have her compensation.

He looks the farmer that he declares himself to be when he goes out for a tramp over his farm—which, by the way, is quite separate from the homestead—as far as his large figure and ruddy complexion go. But fingers that have held pen and pencil the greater part of a lifetime will always take on a literary and an artistic shaping and eyes that have for so long been busy in looking out for strange sights in strange lands must have alight in them very different from the dull gleam in the eye3 of the sturdy plodder who seldom goes beyond the boundary fence of his own acres and .brows are always chiseled into shape by the character of the brain-work going on behind them.

There is a potrait of Bayard Taylor in the sitting room opposite the library, by Hicks, representing him in oriental costume and in the midst of oriental surroundings. It was taken when he was all spirit, and youthful impulse, and nerve, and muscle and his features strongly be come the oriental garb. Doubtless, however, had he been painted in the costume of a Norwegian, during his sojourn in Norway, he would have looked the character with equal vividness. This would be due to the faculty for temporarily losing his own identity in the life and habits of the people among whom he might be for a time sojourning, which is the great distinguishing trait of a successful traveler, and the chief insignia of the order. He never shuts himself up to write. The library doors stand wide open all day, and the feet of the househould are free to come and go as their various owners will—ifonly there be not too much chattering, or the sojourn is not too long drawn out. The unbidden as well as the invited guest may enter, if he be of the right stamp and Bayard Taylar will cheerfully rise from the composition of a poem, or the elaboration of some idea into prose, to show his grounds to the chance visitor, returning again to his work at the earliest possible moment, but with unshaken equanimity.

I think, if 1 were in his place, I should use the silver inkstand which bears an inscription to himself from Thackerary, which is on aside table in the next room, and I should expect to dip up an idea every time I put my pen into the ink which it should hold. But its owner is accustomed to rely on his own resources, and keeps Thackeray's inkstand to one side.

The bookstand engravings, and photographs, and a hoard of miscellaneous foreign and artistic tit-bits4overfiow the library, and drift out of its doors into the broad hall which separates the library from the family sitting room into the sitting room itself, and into the large dining hail.

While up stairs there is a pleasant nook—whose presiding spirit is the mistress of the household—which is a sort of modest feminine edition of the library below only there are more womanly and artistic trifles scattered about, and the desk is smaller and prettier, and the sacrifices to the graces more frequent, so that you cannot mistake the fact that you have left the masculine for the feminine element of intellectuality. Among other things there is a pretty crayon sketch of an interior of the sitting room which was Marie Taylor's in her far-off German home, when she was Marie Hansen and a photograph of a bust of Shakspeare, with an ivy vine trained around it and a picture, in a rustic frame, of Bayard Taylor in the costume in which he walked over Europe on that first trip which he has told us about in his first book, "Views Afoot or, Europe seen with Knapsack and Staff." How like a romance the story of his undertaking reads from beginning to end! Looking over some old books in a book-case in the dining hall I came across a little volume in faded green muslin, stained and worn, which called itself "The Tourist in Europe," and was written by Mr. G. P. Putnam, the publisher, and published by Wiley & Putnam in 183S. It was the very book that guided Bayard Taylor on his foreign journey, and is a mement of the beginning of his career as an author and a traveler, and, therefore, I mention it.

Bayard Taylor has an only child—a girl of some twelve years of age—Lillian they call her. I never look at her without" thinking of two lines in one of Mrs. Browning's poems— "Thy brown eyes have looks like birds'

Flying straightway to the light." What she will be and what she will do rests with the future but she certainly will live her own life, and think her own thoughts, and act for herself, if a child's deeds are any index of character. The children of authors and artists always interest us more than others, because of the stock of which they come.

Cedarcroft was hallowed last October by an event which does not happen in the lives of many of us. Bayard Taylor's father and mother had their Golden Wedding here, and the memory of that event will be interwoven with the historv.of the homestead. Gray heads bring a blessing wherever the gods of the hausehold are set up, and ray poor picture of Cedarcroft would not be" complete without these two figures of serene and beneficent old age to mellow the warmth of its hues.

Right across the road from the gate by which von enter the domain of Cedarcroft a long lane, fringed on cither side with tall old cedar trees, commences, and leads you along to a gray old house, two stories high, with a little wooden porch before the front door, and a rustic door-yard, where the trees are all loftly and all the flowers have run wild.

I call Cedarcroft Bayard Taylor's second home bccause this was his first. Here he was born, and here he always returned from his wanderings—even from the furthermost ends of the earth.— And here the old people reared their brood and saw it fly abroad—some here and some there but they always abode in the old homestead until they left it for the new one at Cedarcroft. Of the Quaker village of Kennett, and the beauty of the surrounding country, which is spread out below in a vast panorama of wood, and field, and yellow gleams of stubble and purplish hazes of distance, all under a specKless blue sky, and in the full light of warm August sun, as you gaze upon it from the topmost balcony of the turret at Cedarcroft, I do not want to write. It is all fairly sketched in the '"Story of Kennett," bv the hand which was best fitted for the"task, and to which it was a task of love. All I have wanted to try to do itfas to give you softie idea of how the
