A Pillau of Fibe.—A gentleman of Louisville, Ky., informs the Courier that a few nights since, between the hours of 11 land 12 o'clock, ho saw one "of the most brilliant meteors that ever astonished the (dwellers on thia mundane sphere. At the ;tiuie the moon was shining brightly, and a (great ba>A of light white mist had settled (over the sleeping city, giving tno atmosjphero a peculiar mellowness and softness, :as he was suddenly startled by a bright flash of light directly before him, which in nmother instant was thrown along a portion .of the Whole Tendering abiectiifim. isome distance as clear to his vision as if he lhad been walking in the brightness of a wnmmer day. Looking up, ho behold a (blazing globe of fire in the northwestern ,sky, to the naked eye equal in size to a ’large drum, having the appearance of molten iron. Hardly had he looked ere the great white ball seomed parted as if by an (explosion, and showers of beautiftil colored >sparks. fell like a rain of blazing jewels, and w ere lost to sight. Ths nucleus of the Untight body .remained for an instant; and (then, ns it' darted swiftly earthward, another explosion seemed to occur, and a ■second time the meteor threw off its •guttering showers, and then disappeared alA Watebspovt in Tnx Rocky Mountains. On Saturday. I'Jth ultimo, as party traveling from Sweetwater to Green River, in Wyoming Territory, were encamped at noon on Big Sandy, a hail storm, accompanied by severe winds, which resulted in a whirlwind, was observed. The storm aioso in the northwest, und its first premonition with furious wind. In a few minutes a whirlwind was seen approaching, when the partv almndoned their wagons ■and took to the hills for security. In a moment after the force of the storm struck, and hail stones in size from a partridge’s to a hen's egg commenced falling in endless quantities. The whirlwind as it swept across the river, Big Sandy, left the bed of the stream dry for a distance of three or four hundred yards up and do wn the bed of-the river. The waterspout which had thus been formed then ■ spread ns it ascended until thop'hole hettv- • ens were darkened by the expanding spray, which seemed at length toloseitsell among the clouds. The spectacle is described as bne of most terrible grandeur. Men, women and children flow to the adjacent hills for protection, while the horses and mules flew, as it were, hither and thither in a bewildering manner, until the force of this .outburst of nature’s anger had passed. One ihailktouu, of average size, measured five iinebes in circumference. This storm was (the most wonderful as well as the most terrifying which any Of the party, all old travelers in the mountains, had over seen. 4Cbeyennt

The Provocation for the Murder of Editor Pollard.

The provocation for the murder of H. Rives Pollard w the publication of the following article in the Southern, Opinion of Saturday last, scandalizing the family of Mr. Grant, particularly the sister of young James Grant) who, it is alleged, is the mur derer: : , , _ An Elopement ao-caLiJtto on Clay er.— An I) men Ten Family Conohbni»-D*eai>-ful Denouement. —“O, No, We Never Mention ’Em."—OM 4 (r - The Indian Summer has passed away, and with it has passed a fair and radiant daughter of one ofonr first citizens—a nabob of Clay st - a gentleman who, suffice it to say, holds tho very first position in the wealthy and fashionable circles of’ tho city. Tho daughter, tho rebellant Helena of the family, is beautiful oeyond description ;but her beautjg did not prevent her from falling desperately and irretrievably in love with a young gentlemen of semi-militaire Connection, who, it appears, some months ago plighted his troth and accepted the tiny hand, grasping it within4iis own— “never to be parted.

never tor aye." Nobody susppeted a mesalliance, much less tho father, until last Saturday night, when the daughter, who was tho light of tho household, fled to parts unknown, or at least only guessed, in company with one, a masculine, who should ere then have been proclaimed his son-in-law. Tne runaway partieshave been heard from, and it if now said that the lady proclaims herself a wife of some six months, and that her affianced is choice of her after life. “What God hath joined together let no man put asunder.” The gay young man who has whisked away the angel is a gay iothario named Horace Ford, of Goochland County, which county ought to be proud of him, as it doubtless is. Horace is an orphan, just plunging into his teens, and has lost both his parents by death. Much property accrued to Horace in tho shape of tnoney, chattels, goods Ax;,, and, having converted the wholpiuto “ready rhino," Horace ventured for a swim in the sea of gay lite and love. He met- Mis Mary Grant, a beauty—“met, perchance, tho usual way;” talked delicious nonsense; won her heart; then, half inclined to earnestness, threw it away. Ah !mo ! Then he sailed. Oh !He sailed ! Ohl Ho- aailed ! the same oh Captain Kidd did. Horace then went to New Orleans, and not having been shipwrecked by the way, telegraphed or wrote to his beloved. Thus it went on through the sultry month of August. The crimson period of October, when tho forests change their garments, down to dull, chill November. Alas, that lovo should never rnn silo >th—in an even current- but love never did, and never will. She responded, and all unknown to the healthy dad, and h" replied. _ Thus affairs progressed until Horace announced, lust week, that he was off for Texas right away, and could’n ‘stop for trifles like an affianced. Then it was that the “girl of tho period” made up her mind and bundle that she would follow him; yes. she would follow him to the uttermost parts of the earth. Being of age and no longer the slave of parental control, Miss Mary, on Saturday night last, having hablimeiitod herself becomingly, deserted the palatial mansion on Clay street, and casting behind her wealth, society and friends, sought tho office of a gentleman on Broad street, whom she inqiortnned to buy her a ticket to New York, This gentleman, who is . the pink of propriety, refnsed.and Miss Mary sought elsewhere and found the ready means—at all events she procured passage on the cars, end embarked on the 81 o’clock train, which carried her northward at tho rate of 20 or 30 miles nn hour, if not as speedily as her heart desired. Ou tho train between Riohmand and Acqnia Creek, she was seen to cry bitterly by the conductir, to whom she related her tale of woo and distress. Her departure created, of course, a hubbub in the mansion on Clay street, and amid the wringing of hands and loud expressions of distress, the telegraph was invoked and parties sent in hot pursuit. It was surmised that young Ford, instead of going off to Texas "right away,” as he announced, lind put for New" York, there to meet his Mary, and thither the detectives directed their steps. The upshot of the matter is, to make a long st >ry short, that Miss Mary had been heard from; that she is now in Philadelphia, and that upon the whole there is a very sorry family history connected with the case which is not within our province to reveal.

The Victims of the Paraguay Outrage.

A correspondent of the Albany Journal communicates to that paper the following account of Mr. Bliss, one of the Americans lately subjected to such indignities in Paraguay: The recent indignity perpetrated by Marshal Lopez in the seizure and probable torture of Messrs. Bliss and Mastermau, on a charge of being concerned in a conspiracy against the life of the Dictator, is donbly odious to those who, like myself, have known Mr. Bliss most intimately in former years. The following sketch may interest the public and awaken a deeper sympathy for the unfortunate subjects of this uarbaritv: . j ( Porter C. Bliss is a son of Rev. Asher Bliss, who was for twenty years a Missionary of the American Board at the lower Cataraugus Station, in Western New York. In 1853, Mr. Bliss was released, at his own request, from this service, and removed to Corydon, Pa., where he still resides. In 1851, Porter, then about fifteen years of age, became a student nt the Fredenin Academy, where ho remained with but little interruption, about four years. His pecuniary resources, as may be supposed, were very scanty, aud knowledge and an aptnestafor its acquisition which insured success at every step of his progress, could have reconciled him to a mode of life in other respects so self-denying. Howeses pecially remarkable for literary and linguistic tastes, and fondness for historical and antiquarian researches. He was also, both by nature and by parental training, modebt and diffident, yet thoroughly holiest and upright in hie character. His mental aud moral endowments appeared less conspicuous to strangers, on account of a -somewhat ungainly physique, and in most respects he would be more properly classed with the Abraham Lincolns than with the Lord Chesterfields gif society. In 1858 Mr. Bliss entered Hamilton College, and the subsequent year went to Yale. His scanty resources led him to accept employment in the service of the Massachusetts Historical Society for the purpose of making researches relative to the relics of the Indian tribes of New England. While thus employed, he discovered and made transcripts of voluminous manuscripts in Novo Beotia, with which ho astonished the savans of Harvard University and Boston—a score of whom, including the President and five ox-Presi-dente of Harvard, gave him the most flattering commendations, and recommended him to President Lincoln as a most suitable person to be appointed to an Indian agency nt th-) west. The matter of an appointment being delayed, ho accepted the invitation of General James Watson Webb, the newly appointed Minister to Brazil, to accompany him in the capacity of Private Secretary. '

-It is interesting to know the rate at which the great tidal wave of August lost crossed the Pa title. The difference in •time between New Zealand and Arica, Peru, is about eight hourr, so that what was five o’clock in the afternoon of the 13th at Arica would be about one o'clock of the morning of the 14th in New Zealand. From one a. in. of the Hth (the New Zealand mean time when the earthquake occurred on the Central American coast) tosua. m. of the 15th (whan it was first observed on the coast of New Zealand) Is twenty-nine bourn, which, reckoning roundly,'is the time the sea wave took to travel the distance of six thousand one hundred sad twenty nqiloa from shorn to shore. The mean rate of ite progress w<mM thus be about two hundred and tea mites per hour. “T didn’t like our ndnfotor's sermon Isgt Bunday,” said a deaeon, who had stent till sermon time, to a brother deaten. t “DMn’k

A Curious Life and Double Funeral.

(From the New Orieani Heaywne, November Sth.) The eumouncement of tho death, in this city, on Wednesday last, of John Henry Martinstein, recalls to. mind an incident ■ connected with his , life which many respectable qitizens can vouch for. Martinstein was a most peculiar and eccentric old gentleman,' and nis little hardware store became in the bourse of years, a perfect old curiosity shop, filled with adds and ends, stuck m shelves without regard, to order; but few of the bundles graced with strings and none of them marked, for so wouderf .1 was the old man’s memory that he never forgot the amount paid for an article, or made an error as to tho price. His head was his day-book, journal and ledger, and the astonishing retentiveness of his memory was only equaled by his want of order. If his bump of memory was large, "his bump of order must have been diminutive. Bundles wore thrown around loosoly, and any one else would have been absolutely nt sea In his store, while ho, no matter how much time had elapsed since he had seen or used an article, could find it at once, and recall instantly every circumstance connected with its purchase. He camo to Now Orleans more than half a century ago, and has always lived a quiet, sober life, attending closely and strictly to his businejw, and realizing, inconsequence, a handsome fortune.

Long years ago, dining a terrible financial crisis which swept over tho country, ruining many a man who had counted himself safe from nil possible contingencies, this singular poison conceived tho ides that he was a bankrupt, and insisted upon a surrender of his property to his creditors. They protested against such a measure, but ho would listen to no argument, and the result was that his stock alone being sold was found to realize immensely more than enough to cover all his indebtedness. Some time after this, Mr. Martinstein was taken quite sick and went off into a trance which so nearly resembled death that his demise was announced, and all the preparations made for the burial. On the appointed day the coffin containing tho body wits placed in a handsome hearse, which, followed by a long train of mourners, "was proceeding toward the cemetery, when the horses suddenly took fright, and ran away, the coffin being thrown violently to the .ground, and burst open. The surprise anti fright of the spectators may be imagined when from the coffin was seen to arise Mr. Martinstein himself, still instinct with hie, and present ing in his burial robes a sight from which many ran headlong away. Hevery quietly walked home, pretested against being put away in ho summary a manner, . and declared his intention to live for mauy a long day. This promise he kept religiously, as his lengthened hold upon life sufficiently proves. Not the least curious incident connected with the attempted burial of Mr, Martinstein, was tho fact that the undertaker who had been engaged had no ides of being cheated of what he fancied was his just dues, and upon being refused payment for his partially performed service, brought suit for the amount and actually obtained judgment in his favor in the lower court. Mr. Martinstein, however, took an appeal, and tho judgment was reversed—the court ruling that as he had not performed the service for which he had contracted, he was not entitled to pay for the same. There were those who followed the remains of tho old gentleman to the grave on Thursday, who were also in the cortege when a fortunate accident restored him to his family and friends.

Pebsecution of the Fbxnoh Pbess-—An affair called the Baudin aflair is exciting great interest in Paris. Baudin was a deputy, killed at a barricade on Deo. 3d, 1851, resisting tho coup d'etat, and the republicans have opened subscriptions to provide him a monument. Tho liberal papers publish these subscriptions, and are to be prosecuted for exciting hatred and contempt of the government. The journalists say that it is not legal; fifty-three barristers coincide in this opinion, and the lists are issued daily, the government on its side bringing actions. The trial is considered a sort of duel, and will bo watched by all Paris with an interest which the republicans hope will deepen till a popular movement becomes possible. They, of course, care nothing about M- Baudin, a worthy but obscure person, forgottefi for seventeen years, but they care much for the chance of a victory over the government. —The latest novelty from Paris is an artificial bunch of grapes, each filled with perfumery. The stem of each grape constitutes its cprk. - •'
