A Few Ldsoni tat Music*
together with the necessary d^feini-
tious designed chiefly foií begin nérb.
LEBSOM II*
Havjng in the previous lesson described
the staff luid shown of what it is composed,
It. is necessary to lean upon it a little longer
to understand its peculiarities. Many per-
sons get their entire support by the staff,
as for instance that large class of music
teachers, who are to be found in every
„ community. So far for introduction. The
«¿ lass will now come to older.
It is impossible for one perscto to sing
itcv> or more notes at the same time. They
jnwit be súng at intervals, and therefore the
distances marked, by the lines and spaces
are termed intervals.
Tlie notes are designated by the hnit
seven letters of the alphabet, viz: A, B, C,
D E, JF, G, so arranged upon the staff that
the letters designating the space shall spell
TACE, to imply that like good soldiers you
should always face the music.
Seven letters only are used* 1 because
there only seven primitive sounds, the
eie&th being the same in nature with the
inFBt, only higher and consequently fiper;
and 2, because 7 has from time' immemo-
rial been * ^cky number.
These ietteis are locked to the partícu-
la- l'"ne or space they designate by a char-
acter tensed clef (the French for key) so
that they «aP never alter their position;
whereas'the sv" bles by which also the
notes are kRO® n> change their places fre-
quently. , i -i
There are two* .clefs comonly employed.
The Bass or F. Cief is perched on the sec-
ond line from the toj.4. The 1 reble or (3-.
- Clef on the second line from the bottom.
They thus overlook the wbole scale, acting

A Song tor tbe Ladies.
The glorious day is dawning, girls,
When woman shall be free;
When gowns and bonnets, capes and shawls,
No longer we shall see!
Miss Webber, bless her heart, sweet girl!
Has put the scheme on foot;
She leads the trump of mail attirei
And we must follow suit.
We'll dress in real " bifurcates," girls,
With glossy beaver hats,
And don the most bewitching coats,
And BrummeMied cravats.
We'll wear superb gilt buttons, girls.
Upon our vests of buff,
Bright extra, rich, plain, treble-gilt J
Flat-sur faced, that's enough !
Oh! Won't we look " bewitching," girls,
When we're so trimly dressed ?
Ño mortal man can brave our charms;
Though he may strive his best 1
Bewhiskered folks may envy, girls,
Our many garbs and airs,
fiat let them fret until they tire-
Poor fellows! no one cares.
Perhaps a few may " cut" us, girls,
And lay us on the shelves;
But what of that ? we'll crook our arrfts
And„á8tBthe beau ourselves !
And if they won't say marry, girls,
We'll call them gay gallants;
But come what will—float, sink or swlhi—
We'll never yield our paiite!

ideas are crude artfl undeveloped—henee
vi ry mii'-h 'üke^bnbáked bread or dough,
which when made is set-to rise, so do is
placed low in the ^scille 'being set to rise
gradually from one rióte to the other.
2 Re* (ra) Because whéh this interval is
reached the first ray df light breaks in
upon the mind.
" 3 Mi (mé) So called because the student
having gained this point begins feel ot
some consequence and in íñs séífcinflation
exclaims, " this is me!" .
4 Fa. Because ft'dften happens thatifhe
scholor does not know as much as he im-
agined and trying in vain to diake him
familiar with this sound the teaóher orles
out in disgust, "foh !"
5 Sol. (meaning sun*) For, where* , lie-
fore all was dim and obscure, now sunshine
seems to light up the chamhere* thought,
This word is also derived from Solus—alone,
because each one must snrmodtit the diffi-
culties for himself as if he wera the solé
peformer.
6 La. An exclamation off worprisémuch
used by ladies, and generally implying
pleasure at some unexpected success; thus
-when the sixth sound is mastered the schol-
ar very naturally exclaims 44aJ" in pleased
surprise.
7 Si. (Se) Because sow the stddett
brgins to see his way through tbe scale and
looks back upon thfe difficulties he has
surmounted.
8 Do. This sound istbe same as the first,
as befóse explained, except that having
l>een set to rise, the dough is an octavo
higher, and of course lighter mid purer.
As a necessary consequence this Do is al-
ways made at the top of tbe voice, and is
much used by catfish women and venders
of huckleberries in targe cities.
The entire combination of notes and
characters is called a scale. A thorough
acquaintance with it often proves to be a
scaly business, but having once scaled the
entire flange of notes and reached tbe top-
most rail, all difficulties vanish.
A rest is a character used to designate a
pause in the mush; this is to enable tbe
performer to take breath, and to recruit
generally. These are very necessary after
^aeh strain, lest the peace (piece) agreed
upon he brought to an untimely end (as a
piece of bread and molasses in the hands
of a hangry urchin.) Rests are of a longer
or shorter duration according to the papid-
ity of the music, the number of notes to
be taken up in a given time, (which bro-
kers will understand) or the number of
strains to which the piece is subject. Let
us rest here, we will have the rest next
time. Tbe class is dismissed. **

The Comet.—The comet is now visible
in the Ñorth-wést quarter of the heavens.
It may be readily found by directing the
eve, at ábout fifteen minute past seven, on
any clear evening, to thé North-westérn
horizon, and ranging with the two stars
known as the pointers—the comet being
about as far to the left of the pointers as
the No/th Star is to their right. Viewed
through the telescope, it exhibits a distinct
nucleus and tolerable well defined tail.
The comet is becoming brighter nightly,
but its brilliancy will soon be materially
diminished by tbe moon, in consequence
of its slowness of motion, its period of
visibility will be very great. It has already
been visible through a telescope nearly two
months and a half; and it will probably
Teamnn wfeeraof^ *«iBain in sight for a considerable length
of time yet. The head, or star of the
comef, appears about equal to a star of th<£
second magnitude; and as it has not yet
reached the perihelion (that point nearest
tbe sun) of its orbit, it will yet be consid-
erably brighter, and present a splendid
appearance.
The longitude of the peritíftlion of this
comet is about 30 degrees, and of the as-
cending mpde about 166 degrees. Thé
perihelion distance is about 40,000,000
miles or a HtiJe greater than the mean dis-
tance of Mercnry from the Sun. Its mo
•tion is retrogade, so that its apparent
motion is from right to left, as at this time.
The velocity of the comet, when at its
^perihelion, will be about 150,000 miles per
hour. Its distance from the earth at this
time, roughly estimated, is about 87,000,
>000 «Ales. Its tail is at least 6,000,000
miles is ileogtb. As tbe comet is quite
•near the horizon, those wishing to see it
advantageously should make their óbérva-
üens freía an elevated stand point.
Truth.—In this world truth can wait5
she's uned to it.
District Court.—The criminal docket
our District Court was taken up on
bttday last. The important cases that
have been tried up to the time of going to
presé ate as follows t
James Draper,'for murder; found guilty,
and sentenced to the penitentiary #uring
life.
Antowio Rami res, for theft; found guilty
and sentenced to the penitentiary for two
years.
Joseph liilgers, for* aggravated assualt
and battery; found guily and fined one
hundred dollars.
A. Gonzales, fdr theft; found guilty and
sentenced to the penitentiary for five years.
Anselmo Rodriguez, for theft; found
guilty and sentenced to the penitentiary
for five years.
C. Cervantes and j. Marcellas, for horse
stealing; found guilty and sentenced to
the penitentiary for seven years.
Y. Gallino, for theft; found guilty and
sentenced to the penitentiary for five years.
Some fifteen persons plead guilty under
the gambling act, and were severally fined
from ten to twenty-five dollars.—San
Antonio Texan.
Jim Lane Whipped.—The notorious
Jim Lane got a whipping the other day
from a lawyer named Quigley, in one of
tbe border towns of Kansas. A challenge
was accepted, and a duel was expected.
The young widow who lately recovered
heavy damages from a rich gentleman who
hugged her somewhat rudely, should take
good care of it, for she made it by a "tight
squeeze."

Tlie Paraguay Expedition—Mex-
ico—Central America.
[Washington correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.]
The arrangements of the Paraguay ex-
pedition have been completed. Judge
Bowlin left the city to-day, after receiving
instructions from the State Department.
His plan is, like the iatne general before
the battle^ to start first himself in the flag
ship of Com. Shubrick, a sailing vessel,
leaving tbe steamers, that are not yet
ready, to follow on as soon as they are
fitted out. They will all rendezvous at
some point on the way, probably Buenos
AyreB, and thence pioceed to Paraguay.
He will demand an apology for the insult
offered to our flag, full indemnity to the
South American Navigation Company for
losses sustained by it, and a ratification of
the Schenck and Pendleton treaty. He is
in fine spirits, and very confident of suc-
cess. Should he fail, however, to accom-
plish the object of his mission by negotia-
tion, Com. Shubrick's guns will be called
into requisition, and the authorities of
Paraguay will be taught a lesson they will
not very soon forget.
The line of policy adopted by the Ad-
ministration with reference to Paraguay,
will give an earnest of what Mexico, New
Granada, Nicaragua and other Spanish
American States that have taken advan-
tage of the impunity offered by the weak
and vascillating poor Pierce Administration
to insult otir flag and plunder our citizens,
may expect for themselves.
Mexico will probably be next called to
account for lier misdeeds; and as no gov-
ernment there is sufficiently permanent to
render satisfaction for tbe outrages on our
citizens, the Administration may find it
necessary to protect both our own citizens
and the Mexicans themselves from the vio-
lence of their contending factions. That,
or any other change that would rescue the
Mexicans from their present state of anar-
chy and misrule would be a God-send to
them, and would doubtless be hailed as a
happy deliverance from the evils with
which they are now afflicted.

Home and Women.
* ,
If there has ever been a more touching
and eloquenfejHilogium upon the charms o*
home and its dearest treasure, woman,
thán is cont^ped in the following extract
from the Christian''Enquirer, it has not
been our goc& fortune to tó'eet it:
Our hoÉies, of what is their corner-stone
but the virtue of woman, and on what does
social well-being rest but our homes ? Must
we not trace at! other blessings of civihzed
life to the doors of our private dwellings ?
Are hot our hearth-stones guarded by the
hoíy forms of c4-i]ug;d, filial and parental
love, the corner-stone of church and state ;
more sacred than either, more necessary
than both % Let our temples crumble, and
our academíés deeay; let every public ed-
ifice, our halls of justice and our capitals
of state be leveled with the dúst; but
spare oui* homes. Let no socialist invade
tbem with his wild plans of community.
Man did not invent, and he cannot improve
or abrogate. A private shelter to cover in
two hearts dearer to each other than all
the world, high walls to exclude the pro
fane eye of every human being; seclusion
enough for children to fee! that mother is
a peculiar name—this is home; and here
is the birth place cf every vii tuoue impulse,
of every sacred thought. Here the church
and state must come for their origin and
their support. Oh, spare our homes! The
love we experience there gives us our faith
in an infinite goodness ; the purity and
disinterestedness,' tenderness of home is
our foretaste abd our earnest of a better
world.
Ju the relation there established and fos-
tered, do we feel through life the chief
solace arid joy of existence. What friends
deserve the name, compared with those
whom a birth-right gave us? One mother
is worth a thousand friends, one sister
truer and dearer than twenty companions.
We who have played on the same hearth,
under tbe lights of the same scene and
season of innocence and hope, in whose
and veins runs the Same blood ; do we not find
that years only make more sacred and im-
portant the tie that binds us? Coldness
may spring up, distance may separate,
different spheres may divide; but those
the Nicaragua Government. The párties
interested have filed a reply, stating that
this step has been taken by the Nicaraguan
Government \vith the object of excluding
American enterprise from the isthmus, and
giving tbe Transit route to the Beliy
French Company.
On being spoken to in regard to this
matter* General Jerez denied that Nicara-
gua desires to exclude American enter-
prise, or that she was desirous of closing
that route of communication between the
Atlantic and Pacific States. He stated
that his Government only desired to get
rid of an odious monopoly, which was in
the hands of a set of speculators, and men
of straw.
Gen. Jerez has repeatedly informed the
parties holding the Stebbins-White grant
that their grant was void ; but that he was
ready, if they wished to run steamers to
Nicaragua, áod have a transit over that
isthmus, to enter into new arrangements
with them, 6r with any other parties, to
open, and keep open that route. This is
the way the matter stands, unless the
Stebbins-tVhiie Company has made some
new arrangement with Jerez, in New
York. As they have sent out several
boats, they may have done this, or e'nc
they have determined to fight it out. The
probability is that the Nicaragua Transit
route is again in the market, and that Gen.
Jerez will remain in New York until fur:
ther advices are received from Generá'
Lamar.
Mr. Frank A. Lee writes to the editor of
the Dallas (Ala.) Gazette the result of a
race in cotton picking between twenty
hands on Mr. E. M. Perine's plantation and
an equal number on Dr. Lee's. They
picked in adjacent fields, where between
four ánd five hundred pounds of cotton
were blown to the acre.
Dr. Lee's party gathered 6,934 pounds,
making an average of 347 pounds. Mr.
Perine's picked 5,944 pounds, making au
average of 29V pounds. The two highest
hands, one oñ each side, picked, the one
481 pounds, the other 428 pounds.
Mr. Shepherd, the overseer on Mr. Pe-
rine's plantation, and Mr. Langford, the
overseer of Dr. Lee, will certify to the
truth of the above.
Dr. Lee does not wish it understood,
from the above, that the crips in Dallas
are extra fine, though they will compare
favorably with those of other parts.
We notice that Mr. Ricker, United
States' Consul-General at Frankfort-on the-
Main, has been elected a Fellow of the

II¿art Troubles.
One of the most affecting incidents wo
have met with since our life in Texas began,
occurred yesterday before the Judge of our
District Court. It is one of those episodes
in human life which call into active being
all of our sympathies, áhd péúétrates the
innermost chamber of our hearts, and
makes impressions swell up and overflow
at the springs of feeling.
A father procures a writ of habeas corpus
to régain the possession of his daughter
who is living with her aunt. The daugh-
ter, a girl of some fifteen summers, resists
the writ and objects to live with hec father.
The case comes up before the District
Judge and the witness testify. The mother
of the girl died when her daughter was in
the earliest budding of life and entrusted
her child to the keeping of her sister. The
father married again—this was in Ken-
tucky. The family removed to this State,
still the daughter in question resided with
and was cared for by her aunt. She was
reared with and educated, and shared all
the home-pleasures of her foster-sisters.
All the delights of home, the social, and
all the heart pleasures that word conveys
were learnt at the home of her foster-
mother and aunt. Time rolls on, and at
the lapse of ten years the father wants
possession of his daughter. He goes to
the house where she resides and demands
that his daughter shall go with him to his
home—she refuses. The writ of habeas
corpus is sued out, and after the examina-
tion of witnesses, the girl tells the Judge
she loves and reverences her father; that
he has always been kind and affectionate
to her; but she chooses rather to live with
her aunt than her father, because he has
alwas lived with her, and has learnt to
love her as a daughter love3 a mother.
Such is human life and such are human
affections.
The case was ably argued by Messrs.
Guinn and Everett for the plaintiff, and F.
E. Williams, Esq., for the defendant. Col.
Jeff. Word, of Palestine, who was assigned
hi' the Court to assist in behalf of both
parties, made an eloquent effort, showing
the relation the parties occupied to each
oLher and to the law. At the conclusion
of the argument, Judge Frazer gave the
decision of the Court in a very feeling and
impressivo address, and ordered that the
girl remain in the custody of her aunt.
The feeling among the audience must have
been intense, for when the decision of the
Court was announced, there was a sponta-
neous burst of applause from the assembled
crowd.—Rusk Tu <] >i ircr.
Prayer.
Prayer is the incense of the soul,'
The odor of the flower;
And rises as the waters roll,'
To Go¿'s controlling power!
Within the soul there would not be
This infinite desire
To whisper thoughts in prayer to'thee,
Hadst thou not lit the fire.
Prayer is the spirit speaking truth
To thee, whose lové divine
Steals gently down like dew to soothe
Or like the sunbeams shine;
For in the humblest qoul thai lives,
As in the lowliest -dower,
Ths- dew-drop back his image gives,
The soul reflects his power.
At night, when all is hushed and still,
And e'en soft echo sleeps,
A still, small voice doth o'er me thrill,'
And to each heart throb leaps ;
It is the spirit pulse that beats
Forever deep and true;
The atom with its author meets,1
As sunlight greets the dew.
Indian Beauties op Kansas.—Quindaro
is on Wyandotte Indian lands, and there
are Indian beauties arótfríd here in every
direction. The names of some of them
are peculiar. Among them I met Polly
Bigfoot, Mary Mudcake, Susan Johnnycake,
Polly Between-the-legs and Sally Spitfire.
The Wyandotte belle lives two miles below
here—a bright-eyed, chubby cheeked girl
of some 22 years. Indian girls here of
any ambition will not marry Indians; for
roost of the tribe have become drunken
and worthless. They therefore turn their
eyes to white alliances, end to be disap-
pointed in a white love is doubly painful.
Letter from Kansas.
" You Ióst your baby, I hear?" said One
gentleman to another. "Yes, poor little
thing! it was ouly five months oid. We
did all we could for it. We had four doc-
tors ; blistered its head and feet; put mus-
tard poultices all over it; gave it nine
calomel powders; leeched its temples; had
it bled; pukéd it elqgren times with lobelia,
and gave it all kinds of medicines,' and yet
after a weeks illness.it died j died for the
want of attention, I suppose."
Worrieo Him.—A correspondent of the
Lewiston Journal, writing of the Old town
Indians, says:
A young lady of the tribe one day in
the cars was asked by a rowdy if she would
not like to marry a white ? " No," was
her ready reply; 44 because good white
men do ,no want to marry me, and poor
scámps" Iii$ you I won't have!" Rowdy
left at the next station.

A Sharp Feminize Hit.—Word was sentTjy
Mr. H., a defeated candidate, to a married lady
(who was supposed to have changed the expected
vote of her husband, on election day to the op.
posite party) to the following effect:
*' Go and tell Mrs. F. that I will send h'rr, by
the first opportunity, a pair of pantaloons, for
her political services."
M Go and .tell Mr. H.," was the reply, " to
send them along a't once; but don't forget ts tell
him I want a new pair—not a pair that his wife
had half worn out!"
A little girl was told to spell ferméñt
and give its meaning, with a sentence iu
which it was used. The following was
literally her answer f M Fer-ment, a verb
signifying to work; I love to fermetit iñ
the garden."
In Kentucky a plowman became enam-
ored of a milkmaid on a neighboring farm.
His addresses were rejiected, and the dis-
appointed swain, full of melancholy and
revenge, procured a rope, went to the barn
and—tied all (he cows tails together.
The Courier des Etats- Unis states that
Hume, the celebrated spiritualist medium,
did not marry that Russian princess after
all. Mr. Iluma not being able to prove
his relationship to the house of Douglas,
papa wasu't willing, and the alliance was
not made. •
" I would go to the end of the world to
please you,'' said a fervent lover to the
object of his affections. "Well, sir, go
there and stay."
A Dutchman being advised to riib his
limbs well with braudy for the rheumatism
said he had heard of the remedy, but add-
ed: "Idosh petter as that—I drinks de
prandy and den I rubs mv legs mit de
pottle."
An acquaintance of ours says that since
he dismissed his handsome doctor and
employed a plain one, his wife and daugh-
ters haven't got sick half so often at> they
did before;
Some cute chap remarks that the quick-
est way to destroy weeds is to marry a
widow. It is no doubt a most agreeable
species of husbandry.
. Exportation of the Africans*
The United States'steam frigate Niagara
arrivéd off this port on Saturday, at about
one o'clock, p. m., and came to anchor in
about eight fathoms of water. Her top-
masts Can just be distinguished, from the
oitv wharves, over Morris' Island. She
has a full frigate's guard on board, con-
sisting of. three hundred sailors and fifty
marines. The following are her officers:

Several private pá'rtieá háve made ex-
cursions to see the frigate by the various
pilot boats and the steamer Aid, buU ow-
ing to the heavy sea, none have been able
to board her. The impression, however,
made by the frigate Upon such gentlemen
as have seen hér, is unfavorable. They
have been greatly disappointed. The
James Adger, now lying at our wharves,
is voted a much finer looking vessel.
Being desiróus of placing before our
readers all the incidents attending the re-
moval of the negroes froru Fort Sumter to
the Niagara, wé several days since made
application to the United States' District
Marshal for permission to allow a gentle-
man connected with the office to be on4
board the steamer which was to make the
transfer. The Marshal received the appli-
cation véry kindly, but declined our re-
quest, stating that ho person woufd be
permitted to be on board but himself and
two deputies, not even the officers of the
court, as he considered that would .be
highly indecórou? to give any information
respecting the removal of the negroes, to
the public, thrdngh the press, before the
President had been informed. ¡ ...• <.j.
We have, however, availed ourselves .of
the kindness of Dr. Rainej, the "
tation agent, appointed by the '

to be * a very agineeatl

commodate# us to the full extent of hrs

arity with the Portugese language of very
essential service, as he can communicate
with tbe head toen of the Africans, inde-
pendent of the interpreter. No agent of
the Colonization Society is on board the
Niagara, and the ship is provided with
sufficient, stores only for the officers and
crew. The Marshal has, however, supplied
from one of our Charleston merchants, the
necessary stores for the Africans, which
were conveyed to the Niagara yesterday.'
The Marshal and his assistants, the United
States' Attorney and the ship chandler, *
were the only parties allowed to visit the
The steamer General Clinch yesterday
forenoon visited Fort Sumter, took on board
the Africans, atld conveyed them to the'
frigate. A heavy sea was running, and it
required all the ingenuity of tbe officer* in
charge to ship their cargo. Finally, they
hit upon the expedient so successfully prac-
ticed among the Indians of South America
in crossing rapid streams. The frigate
and the steamer were connected by two
hawsers, and a large tub placed upon a.
third line, run from the spanker-boom of
the frigate to the deck of the steamer, ánd.
thus the awful chasm was bridged. Upon,
this line the negroes were placed,, and
hauled by tub-fulls to the frigate.
This ceremony was, of course, very slow
and tedious, and it was late when the Clinch
reached the city. We regret to say that
we must await the information of the au-
thorities at Washington before we Can
state authentically the precise number of
negroes deported. The number is, how •
ever, understood to be a&out two hundred
and eighty. The Niagara will sail this
afternoon.—Charleston Mercury, 2<Mb.
