A German latboress Coming to Lecture in the United State. Louiaa Muhlbach, the celebrated -German novelists intends ma V 5 ns a , lecturing tourf through., the ,Unked States. She will be accompanied ou -the-oecasion by-her younger da ugh -tef, : a girl of fourteen. Iler e!ier daughter, a very prettjryoung Iadx,of "rigtttf;'i8-aO "HetUan in" the Ityal .Theatre of Cassel; Lauisa. Mublbach, - -or rather Clara Mundt, the former name being her nom deplume is no.w fifty-three years old, and a lady of considerable emhonpotnt. In 18b2the King of Prussia presented her with the large gold medal usually given to authors and artists S of the highest merit. He did so, doubt'ess, to express his satisfaction at the beautiful -"mooumerts which Louisa Mulhbach Lad erected in her works to the memory of his mother, Queen Louisa, of .Prussia. The King told Mrs. 3Iundt conglvkg her the medal, which was fixed id a handsome gold bracelet, he hoped she would wear it on all festive , , eecasions.? When thetauthoreas of " Louisa of Prussia," and " Frederick the Great and his Court," tried to put on the bracelet, she. found it was too, small for her arm. ; . j

A corrisponpejjt of the New York 11 f raid T 181 ted Buffalo the other day,' , and had a talk with Millard Fillmore. From the time that culinary vessels came into use the pot has called the kettle black; and Mr. Fillmore, a fine old fossil himself, alluded with fine geological satire to the O. P. F. The Herald eubseqently received this letter,' which it presumes was dictated by Jamos Buchanan: , " Philadelphia. ) - '' ' "August 12, 1867. j ; " Dear Sir: The Herald of August lUth, came to me just as 1 was leaving Cape Island, this morniotr, and I hasten to reply to your Buffalo "corre spondent, who makes ex-President Fillmore say," ' I am not the Old Pub lic Functionary of Pennsylvania, who has killed nearly all hie mends with old rye.' ' Mr. Lditor.if Mr. Fillmore did make this remark, which I am in clined to doubt, he has been guilty of an impertinence beneath , his breed- " ing. ' At Wheatland the - visitor may always, obtain whisky, brandy, gin, sherry, Jladeira, claret and carte d'or or Itoderor champagne.- I never recommend any particular .beverage to my friends, always leaving the choice ; to them. Our custom has been, and is, to conduct the visitor ' to 'the 'sideboard, place him in the hands of the servant, and leave him there. I am not aware that I ever aided in the death of a human, being. The insinuation that I have tried to destroy any one, is wholly gratuitous. 'Mr. Fillmore's views of; the Blair family, of the situation, and what he might have done if, he had been at the helm, are for the public, of which I am but a humble part. . Respectfully, ' ' " I James Bccuan an, per J.D." I The JferalJl commenting on this fays: " r t?:ii . , . , .iuiliiuio, wiiu uur corres pondent in .the premises, had been indulging in ' Widow Clicquot,' ' and when the wine is in the wit U out.' Under these circumstances, and with the 'sober second thought, the fuuoy allusion of Mr. Fillmore to the O. P. F.' was not only perfectly natural, but ought to be considered perfectly inoffensive. Next, it appears that while ex-President. Fillmore's custom, in the case of a friend, iV to sit down with 'him ami partake f the smiles of the 4 Widow CIicqutf , the 1 custom at Wheatland has bceu and is (and long may it be!) to conduct the visitor to the side-board, p!ee him in the hands of the servant, and leave-him there. ' This was Old Hickory's custom, and he was pronounced by Davy Crockett the politest man he ever saw; for.' said Davy, when he set out the old Bourbjon before me he turned his back' on me, bo as not to see how , much I would take.",' .,5 An Incedbntop the Cretan Wap. Correspondence ia the Ti-ib-m from Canea says that episode after t-pjsods in the Cretan war brings into f uller light the indomitable love of liberty, aad the determination to. regaia it, which has been shown . in- all the Greek wars ajraicst the-Turks. The following is mong.Hhe latest incidents in the list of horrors associated with the war in Crete: - r ' j In a cave near Frankrt-Castelli 700 women and children, with a few men the most credible accounts say 30 took refuge oi the landing at that place of, Omar PaBha. Being discovered, nd summoned to surrender, they refoRed, without hesitation, and " on the basm-bazouks attempting to fortfeatf entrance,- every man who exSosed himself was shot down at once. 'he entraoee of the cave wan high" on a hill side in .a cliffy with. &hrpcks below, so BO- smoking out was" possible." Mining was then Tesorted t&, and boring a shaft from the.njountain above to drop live shells r down J through:-5 but- the forr?eV .ex-1 pedient only -enlarged Tths.; . aperture slightlyy ' . and the: ter did not snecp.ee from l .i M' nf

The inmates replied ta-a-iuew summons, ' We are, thirtyrj but we defy your thirty itoousaad. and will never surrender.' -This continued nearly' a. week, when news reached the consuls by the wounded "Turks whp came;, from VthereR-TMd1theii' ..c:: .4 :.:: W ;Li 3to'aT .5t to.r

t'rieuds inCapead jhortlyfter hjc "ettefs from the T mot nt&ins, when several of -the consular corps waited on the Vice-Governor and signified to him that the thing had "attracted their attention, inviting him to send word to Omar Pasha that the world expected the usages of civilized warfare from him, and would hold him the Wizard, English gunboat, steamed round, and the commander signified in person to the Pasha-that- the continuance of such proceedings might be dangerous, and assured him that henceforward nothing bat blockade would be attempted, and" so1 two block-houses or redoubts i are. built on either side of the opening of the cave at the nearest convenient points, and the Sirdar Ekrum waits for their surrender to him in persca, while: his troops are working their cosily way toward Spakia.'r 'i );: - ,' : ' ." i r- ' L". ' ' ! Assasslnatloii of Lepea, the Betrayer , : r-.a.of Maxlnliiaa.. $it;- , A letter' gives the following details of the: assassination, of Loiez, . who betrayed Maximilian; v s;0)' fi ,,; ; ' I arrived here to-day,, and learned the startlingnews of the assassination of the traitor Looez. .The particu"-

lars of the assassination are as follows: "Lopez was staodiag at a hotel in Puebla, where his wile spurned him from her presence.: , Early one morning a Mexican, arrived, and familiarized himself with an ostler in a livery stable adjoining the hoteK Gen. liguel Lopez was inruired for, but, not being m, the stranger .was told that the General would be at dinner. Before the dinner . hour Lopez returned, and was, pointed out to the stranger,.' who made special note of his man. "When dinner was called Lopez and hiBJa-?assin occu J pied opposite seats at the table; after some minutes, duringwhich time the stranger called for aud drank a glass of wine, he deliberately rose, drew a concealed knife, and sprang, upon Lopez, and stabbed him nine times. The stranger then took his hat, and as he started to leave, said: "This is the way all traitors should be paid." No one interfered or 'prevented 'the assassin from leaving.- .- The Old " Arm Chair. The American-rocking chair in physiologically an abomination, but'eertainly a comfortable . thing to have in the house." Here is what Ilenry Ward Beecher says about it in . Norwood:" "But if once you sat down in it, the illusory notion of luxury vanished. It was wooden throughout. Only if some one was sick in the house was there a cushion in it. Its joints, by lonsr use had formed a complaining habit, and you misrht in any, part of the house know whether the rocking chair was in active use.' We are obliged to say that it was a treacherous chair. . The rockers had . been curved to such lines, that if you ventured beyond a very gentle motion the chair would give a oackward lurch, as if going over, and there are few things more unsatisfactory to a sober-minded person, careful of appearances, than to be carried over backward in the midst of a quiet conversation. It is true that the chair never did go over. The shape , of the rocker was such that when the victim had spread .his arms and flirted bis legs into the air. in an involuntary effort at equilibrium, the chair stopped and set itself hrmly. as if it had been blocked, returning again to it normal state only upon a violent effort of its occupant.. The neighbors were aware of this propensity and avoided the chair. StrDgers usually had an experience with it. The good doctor or his wife, for ' the hundredth time, reassuring them: 4 Don't be alarmed; it won't go over; I never knew anybody to fall T "4 i . Ytta GpIvS f TI.Ml.' a 5 ,.
