From Ihe world's cold memory,

LORENZO DOW.
Lorenzo Dow was very exact In thontmoint-
incuts ho made, nnd sometimes arranged them
a long wlillo uhcad. Ho ouco Drenched near
ono of tho small towns in upper Georgia, nnd
told his congregation "on that day ono year bo
would preach to them ngaln."
The nest season, on Saturday afternoon nro-
ccdintr tho Sunday of tho appointed tlmo, tho
old man was jogging along tho main road in
tho direction of his congregation.
Ho noticed before him a stout iittlo neirro
boy, of peculiarly nctlvc step and manner, who
carrtcu in nts uouu a small tin horn, such us
ore used to call tho peoplo to their meals.
Tho custom among many in tho South Is to
allow married men to get their wires' houses,
nnd children to visit their parents on Saturday
evening, to stay witli them on Sunday, nnd ns
tho negroes ure musically Inclined, thoy carry
a fife, or n horn, or n banjo, to glvo notice of
tnctr approacn, aim to- begnllo tho way. In
other cases, thoy whistle, sing or shout. A
healthy, cheerful negro, of honest intentions,
uses generally some means of nssociatiou, ercn
if he is obliged to talk to hiuwin
Dow, according to his usual manner, entered
into conversation with the boy, and fouud he
was about to visit tho congregation bo had
appointed to meet.
Iftbc truth mgitba told, J.oi-no M n
Idcn ttint the character of his flock was thnt of
n reckless, frollcksomo, hind, careless people,
upon whom It wns necessary to make a very
icclded Impression, or his time would be thrown
nwny nmong them.
"What Is your name, my Ind V asked Dow.
"Gabriel, sir," replied the boy, lifting a new
straw hat, nnd showing his Ivory, wlillo he He
lively stepped along to keep paco with the
preacher's horse.
"Can you blow upon thnt horn 7"
"Oh, yes, master, I cqn toot n little."
'Well, hit mo hear you."
So tho negro Inflated his velvet checks, and
made the woods resound.
"Do ynu know n tall pints tree near the stand
at Sharon t'Vatil Dow.
. UYcs. that Ldoj very well, master."
Lorenzo then put his hand into !ilspoclct,
and pulling out a silver dollar showed It to the
negro, nnd told him If he would climb into the
pine tree before tho peoplo met nt tho meeting
nnd keep there (pilot until ho called out his
name, nnd then blow on his horn ns ho had
just done, ho would give him the silver dollar,
if he did not tell anything nhotil it.
The negro expressed litimclflilglily delighted
nt such nn oiler, nnd promised punctuality nnd
secrecy.
On Sunday, n largo meeting assembled nt
Sharon to hear tho famous Iirenzo Dow. Se
rious old men uud their wives, wild boys nnd
their swect'henrts, nlmost nil on horseback,
sometimes by twos uud threes, besides negroes
from a great distance on foot, lieifig readily
captivated by tho natural eccentric, for they
love nnylhlng that has u laugh attached to it,
nnd thoy knew that Iin'nzo wus good for o
Joke, even If it did hit hard.
Dow selected rather n brimstone text, nnd
made tho nppllcnttoti us strong impossible, but
ho forced Ills way slowly nmong llio mercurial,
healthful, honest hearted people, who were hard
to frighten. He enumerated tho enormity of
the vicos lie thought tn prevnll, but they were
so used to them that tho words slid like water
over n duck's back.
At length, ho boldly described, In the plain
est kind or language, the nppenranco mid char
acter or"the last great day," nnd what would
bo their condition when (hat day came.
"Suppose," cxelalmcd tho preacher, sud
denly, nnd then ho paused, "thnt this were the
day!"
I Io saw that sotr.n or the women b.'cntne
little fldgetty nnd mtiLjcd tho fellow Into si
lence nml attention.
"Suppose," rccntnl he, clevullng his voice,
"that Gabriel should sound his trump 1"
"ATtlfls moment, the little negro showed lie
was "n trump," nnd fiom the top of tho lofty
pine, n loud nnd clamorous blast overwhelmed
tho utidlcnce. Tho women shrieked, tho men
rose in great surprise, tho horses tied nrouud
tho cninp nolghrd, reared nml kicked, while
tho terrified negroes changed their complexion
tn a dull purple color. Never was nlurm,
surprise nnd astonishment tuoro promptly ex
hibited. Iorenzo Dow looked with grave but pleated
attention upon tho successful result of ids ex
crlnu'iit, until tho first clamor had subsided,
uud snn.-e began to estimate tiio character of
tho urtlficlul angel, and were about to npply n
Iittlo hickory nrtcr tho pine. Hut the sugges
tion was nrrcstnl by tho loud on solemn tones
or the preacher, who. looking very firmly Into
the faces or his disturbed nudlcnce, nnd ns ho
ho leaned over them to finish his discourse, im
pressively remarked :
"And now, If n little negro boy, with n tin
horn on tho top of u pluu hush, enn mako you
feci so, hnw will you reel when thnt day does
come 7"
YANKEE DOODLE IN EUROPE.
Hon. Itobcrl O. Wlntlirop, In his address
delivered nt tho Iloston Musical Hall, nt tho
0icnliig or tho grand Musical Festival, related
tho following anecdote to Illustrate the stale
of American nmsio nt tho tlmo when the treaty
of Ghent wns negotiated. Tho story was told
to Mr. Wlntlirop by tho late John Quiiicy
Adams :
During tho negotiation nt Ghent, a fesllvnl
or banquet was ubout to tako place, nt which
It was proposed to pay tho customary musical
compliment to all tho sovereigns who wero ci
ther present or represented on tho occasion.
The sovereign peoplo or tho United States
represented there, ns you remember, by Mr.
Adams himself, Mr. lJaynrd, Mr. Clay, Mr.
Jonathan Itusscll and Mr. Gallatin were of
coursj not to Iw overlooked, nnd tho musical
conductor or band master or tho pinco caljul
nted upon these Commissioners to (iirnlsli Iiim
with our Nntlonal Air.
' Our Notional Air, said thoy, Is 'Yankee
Doodle." .
"Yankee Doodle, said tho conductor, what
Is Hint 7 Where shall I find 7 Can you sup
ply mo with the scoro 7"
Tho perplexity of tho Commissioners may,
bo better conceived than described. They were
fairly nt their wit's end. They had never ima
gined (hat they .should. hit ve scores of this sort
to settle, nnd each turned to tho other in des
pair. At lost, thoy bethought them in a hap
py. moment that tlicro was a colored servant
of Mr. Clay's, who, llko most of his race, was
a first race whistler, und who was certain to
know Yunkco Dpodic by heart. He was forth
with sent for accordingly, and tho problem was
solved without further delay. The band mas
ter jotted down thb ulr ns tho colored boy
whistled It, and before night, said Mr. A'dams,
Yankee Doodle Wasto so many parts that yon
would hardly have known It, nnd It came out
tho poxt day In all the pride, pomp nnd cir
cumstance of viol and hautboy, of drum, trum
pet and symbal, to the edification of the AllWd

DAN MARBLE AND THE ENGLISH PULPIT DANDIES AND PULPIT i GENERAL JACKSON'S LADDER. 1M
TRAVELER. BULLIES.
We were once on n stenmcr along with the
la to excellent comedian, Dan Mnrblo. Of
course there wns some big " story telling" du
ring thnt trip. Among Dan's auditors wns an
English gentleman on the tour of America.
Hu seemed particularly wide-nwnko to all Dan
said, for the tourist's note book was In frequeTit
use to catch good things which fell from the
" Llvo Yankee's lips." Observing tills, Drin
" spotted his nun," nnd began the relation of
n series or adventures and experiences which
literally " astonished tho natives," these latter
gentlemen seeing the drift ol tho joke, preserv
ed serious (aces. Tiicro were talcs of horror,
and of real tragedies, lu which the narrator
liiul-plnyetl a leading part tlicro were doods
nnd hair breadth 'scapes by land ( there was
tho Incident or llio mother who devoured her
own child j all of which the astonished traveler
seemed to credit with implicit faith. At length
Mr. Marble apparently tired of rehearsing his
adventures, descended to topics of tho dav.
Ho adverted to the (act that alllgntorfhad
been found to bo very useful nntnmls, nnd sta
ted that they wcro nt thnt very time, nclunlly
employed ns nioi' carriers between St. Iouis
und New Orleans. He said n passenger would
see a negro, with n mall bag ncross his shoul
ders going up or down tho river, nt a speed of
sixty or seventy miles nn hour nn nlligntor
liclng tho " horso" so docile had tho niilnmls
Isccome, that It was probable that they would
bo Introduced ns instil carriers In nil the rivers
or tho country 1 All this the nudlcnce heard,
with every nuncio or the Tuco at rut tied to sub
jection. The tourist beckoned to Mnrblo at
tho end or this narration, nnd tho two went out
together. All wcro now qui vivo ns to "what
was tip." Dan returned after awhile, with n
Taco of mdiutlng smiles. It wns evident lie
had " won."
Ho finally exclaimed ' The Englishman
usked II what ho had related wus n solemn
ract7" Yankee replied 'pon honor, It was !
Englishmen then wild, ir Yunkco would write
down llio particulars of tho clrcunnlunccs for
lits uso in a work he was preparing on "Amer
ican Features under English scrutiny, " that
hu would pay Jlvo pounds for the nccouunoda
lion. Yunkco replied, an American genif
wkiii would disdain from receiving money Tor
such a service j but said it was customary,
when tt-courtesy wns to bo returned, for thu
party to stand tho elmnipulgn suppers. Where
upon the Englishman bad gono to the steward
and ordered such a rejmst."
Oh, that ovation or llriton to Yankee! It
cost about eighty dollars j the Queen nnd tier
children were toasto 1 " ltnlu IJritanniu" was
sung nnd tho Englishman wns put to lied
drunk, to wnko up In port next morning nnd
find bis guests till departed. We have looked
in uiii for that promised hook nnd liiipaltin.ty
be forthcoming.
MYSTERY OF TIIE AMERICAN
LAKES.
Lul.0 Erie is only CO.or 70 feet deep, but,
tho bottom ofLuko Ontario, which is &'J2fcet
deep, Is 'J.'IO feet below tho tide level or tho
occun, or us low ns most parts of tho Gulf or
St. Luwrencc, nnd tho bottom or Luko Huron.
Michigan und suicrior, although their surface
is so much higher, uro ull from their vast
depth, on n level with tho bottom of Lake On
tnrio :
Now, as tho disclmrge through tho rher De
troit, after allowing for tho full probable por
tion curried off by cvupomtiou, docs not ap
pear by nny means equal to tho quantity of
water which tho three upper great lakes re
ceive, it has been conjectured that n subterra
nean river may run from Luko Superior nnd
Huron to Luko Ontario. Tills conjecture is by
no means Improbable, nnd accounts for thu
singular fact that salmon uud herring nrc
caught in all the lakes communicating with
tho St. Lawrence, but in no others. As the
Fulls of ' Niagara must linvo always existed it
would puzzlo tho naturalists to say how these
fish got into tho upper lakes without some
subterranean river i moreover, nny periodical
obstruction of tho river would furnish a not
improbable solution of the mysterious tluxnnd
re-II u x or the lukes.
Upon this tho editor or tho Scientific Ameri'
can remarks :
' Are salmon and herring found In tho lakes
nnd rivers ubovo thu Falls or Niagara 7 If so,
It afl'ords strong grounds for supposing there is
n subterraneous communication between On

It Is well known, says a correspondent of
the New Orleans Ike, that on tho night of the
18th of January, 1815, tho British army com
menced their Inglorious retreat nlong tho banks
of Vlllcre's Canal, General Jackson, who
never trusted to chance or presumed upon the
weakness or his enemy, on tho following morn
ing despatched Major Vlllero to watch tin
movements of the enemy, a duty rendered more
difficult lu consequence of tho density of the
forest between tho Mississippi river and Lako
Dorguc, Tiic Major, who was equal to tho
task assigned him, conceived and put Into exe
cution a plan by which ho not only overenmo
tho natural obstacles of the swamp, but one
that enabled him to watch the enemy both by
(nnd nnd sea. It was this t He descended
Dayou phllltppon to within a few hundred
yards of the mouth of the contemplated Uratid
Junctlou Canal, where stood n cypress tree, so
litary and alone, that shot above the surround
ing forest. To-this tree he spiked on slats, so
as to form n ladder or ascent. He then as
cended to the top or tho tree, and found that,
bythcnld of a spy-glass, lie was enabled to
watch the enemy's movements.
On the night or the 22d, a large fleet of boats
was seen near Alligator point, which was re
ported to Gen. Jackson. On tho morning of
tho 23d, General Jackson reached this norcl
observatory. On ascending tho boat of tho
bayou, ho nsked Major Villcro iflhcsteps wcro
well secured. Iking answered in tho affirm
ative, ho commenced the ascent. On being
admonished of his weak arm, he replied : "My
country first, then my arm." Having reached
the top of the tree, and bringing his spy-glass
tn bear upon the Itinerant Invincibics of Lord
Wellington, he very soou satisfied himself that
a move of no ordinary character was In con
templation. He was not long kept In suspense
ns to tho object, Tor the boats were being mor
cd in rapid succession, and tho retreating bo
roes or Great Drltnln were hastily embarked,
und the oars quickly applied, bearing tho ve
terans or England to tho Hrltlsh licet. The
General being satisfied that they were no more
to disturb tho )cnco or our firesides, quietly
folded his spy-glass, aud shaking his long fiugcr
at them said : "Go tell your gouty masters
that ynn have left the shores or America with
out seeing the beauty or touching the booty of
Orleans."
