THE EYE OP GRAY. Pot ts have praised the eye of black And eulogized the melting blue, Have laid their fancy on the rack To celebrate each variod hue; Hut not one single word they say, About the pleasing eye of gray. Like the mild gray eye the face Whic h most I loved had eyes of gray; And if each glance emits no blaze, As those of black, I know that they Possess a charm that can subdue Hearts that withstood both black and blue. The face is fair, with eyes of black With eyes of gray is still more fair, For what the last in life may lack, Is made up by the softer air Imparted to the lovely faces Tliat gray and blue so often graces. The black may pierce the gazer through, And make the lightest spirit dance Our souls may melt before the blue, Or die away in pleasure's trance; But I will still my homage pay To the enchanting eye of gray. The eye that kindly beams on me Shall always 'meet a like return, And I will bend the ready knee Where'er those gazes melt or bum, And idolize the lovely hue, Whether of gray, or black, or blue. F.

Learn- ing that an epidemic of a frightful description was prevailing among the hogs belonging tjflMbe dis , tillery of Billings & Co., in TroopsJftWthree i miles north of this city, we visited the place this morning. The hogs were brought from 'the West five weeks since, and were 1,700 in number. They were kept in a pen over 300 feet long divid ed into apartments capable of accommodating 200 each. During the day and night they were allow ! ed to run at large in a field of sixty acres. Three , weeks ago the tenrfu! epidemic made its appear ance. On the first any thirry hogs uied, and trom that the number 150 to 200 hogs per day. They are attacked suddenly and die in three minutes. While we were there this morning a large porker enjoying a hearty meal at his trough, and his "general health'' appeared good; but while eating he suddenly sprang from the ground, became con vulsed, and in a tew minutes was dead. Four or five died in the short time that we were there. There is i. : particular manner of attack, and uo general rule by which the disease may be designat ed. Some of the hogs die suddenly, others linger some time. All of the drove walked about stag- j gering and weakly. A ost mortem examination shows that the cpi- j demic affects the hogs differently. In some the blood is black and thick; in others it is natural and healthy. In all cases the heart, liver, intes tines are perfectly healthy in appearance, thus showing that strychnine is not the cause; arid Mr Billings informs us that the poison was never used in his distillery. In all cases the lungs are entire ly gone. All kinds of medicines have been used but they refuse to act. One thousand hogs have thus died within the last two weeks. Four years ago Billings & Co. lost 1,800 hogs, and last summer 700 more in the same manner. The loss of the company, therefore, in the last four years by the death of hogs, is estimated at 30,000 ! Immediately after the loss of the hogs four years ago a fresh supply of 700 were put into the same pen, fed on the same food, and they fat tened well and were very healthy and sound. AuLuri (Aa.) Advertiser. The Ailanthi-s Tree a Nuisance. Com plaints are made in New York and Philadelphia, a swell as in our own city, of the tendency of the blossoms of this tree to produce malaria. A great deal of sickness, in the former cities, is caused by the effluvia diffused by the flowers. A correspon dent of the Philadelphia Enquirer expresses the hope that the Council of that city will frame an ordinance requiring all such poisonous trees to be cut down. According to the New York Times, the late researches of Prof. Hetet, of the School of Medicine of Toulon, Fi ance, on the medicinal effects of the Ailanthus, now so common as a shade tree, show that the bark contains a volatile oil, which is so deleterious in its effects that the assistants who had the evaporation of the extract under their care would be seized with vertigo and vomiting whenever they came in contact with the vapors. That their well-known unpleasant exha lations are of a poisonous as well as disagreeable nature, is further proved, says the Times, by the number of dead flics and other insects found under this tree at seasons, and also by their sickening effect upon delicate persons, particularly children. ' ich mond D is pa tch . This tree is commonly known as the "Tree of Paradise," and were it not poisonous, its disagree able odor during bloom is sufficient to render it a nuisance.

"NVc condense the following particulars from the , February number of the London Lancet : Miss Amelia Hinks, aged 13 years, had been j complaining for sometime of great lassitude, cough, and loss of appetite. She gradually grew worse, and finally refused both food and medicine. Her j friends continued to watch her night after night, j hourly expecting her death, and on the 18th of j October she did apparently die. She groaned j heavily, waved her hand (which was a promised I . . . v .... 1 ! sign for her mother to know that MM nour oi uer departure had come.) turning her head a little to ! the light, dropped her jaw, and died, as was thought. She was now washed and duly attired la grave linen; the jaw was tied in a handkerchief, the arms crossed in due fashion over the breast, and coDner closed the eves. She was then carried into an adjoining room and laid out in her winding sheet; in the course of a few hours she appeared stiff and cold. The death was at half past 3 A. M. At 9 A. M. her grandfather went into the room to 0f take a loving look at the corpse and a last kiss his beloved grand child, when he noticed a slight quivering of the eyelids. He at once imparted the fact "and his misgivings to the parents; they put no faith in them. The old man, however, not satisfied, called upon the medical attendant. He also observed the tremulousness of the eye-lid; and, placing a stethescope over the heart, heard its pulsations, feeble but nevertheless distinct. He then watched the chest; it could be seen moving, but so gentle as to be almost imperceptible. She was now removed to a .warm room, frictions and warmth were applied to her person, and in about two hours she spoke. She told her friends that she had heard all that they had said, she knew that her body was being prepared for interment; she heard the tolling of the passing bell, saw and felt bet grandfather's agony, but could make no sign. At 4 P. M., on the following day, she relapsed into the same cateleptic state and remained in it six hours. She took no food and requested that 1 . . i i - . . . i . .r... I none might De given, as sue meant w iau uu next meal in heaven. Tor a whole week she took no food, but lay perfectly quiet with eye-lids firmly closed and her jaws clenched. She was coaxed and threatened, but all to no purpose. The doctor then gacged her, and, forcing a tube down her throat, poured liquid food into her stomach. At this she commenced moaning, and continued it night and day for ten days or more. This was kept up for a while, until the doctor, losing all patience with her obstinacy, had the fluidfood administered in another and less agreeable manner. On the second trial of this method, she, by signs, begged its discontinuance, and seemingly offered to take food by the mouth. But when it was offered she again refused. Food was now placed within her reach, and an opportunity being given for her to steal it, it was found to disappear everv night. She was watched, and it was found that ahoot one o'clock each night she would raise herself in bed, look carefully round to see if she was watched, step nimbly to the closet, and examine the food, taking a mouthful at the time and conveying the remainder to bed with her. During all this time she would remain apparently dead that is, niotiouless and speechless, and with ascarcely perceptible respiration. The giti still continued in this condition on the fourth of last December. Coal Oil and Coke. Henry E. Colton, Esq., has presented to us a lump of coke, part of the residuum of some Deep River coal, from which, by means of a small retOrt, he had extracted the oil. He informs us that he had made five gallons of oil from as many bushels of coal, and that the coke is worth more to iron manufacturers than the coal was before the oil was extracted. As we have heretofore stated, Mr Colton intends to engage iu the manufacture of the oil upon an extensive scale. Fayettceille Observer. West Point. The arduous duties of a West Point Cadet arc not more than half realized by the hundreds of young gentlemen seeking appoint ment there. Rise at five in summer and six in winter, bcd-clothcs put away, and room arranged for inspection in half an hour. Study until seven. Guard mounting at 7J. Class parade at eight. Recitations and study until one. Dinner and recreation until two. Another class parade. Study i until four. Sunset, general parade, supper, and in tbivtv minutes the call to quarters, i ntn y study, and at 10 every light cxtinguishe thrift duties are some ti ns evaded Of Rut : it is dangerous business. Such is but an outline ! of the day's work repeated from day to day for five I years, with no interruption but Sunday. At the end of the first two years there is a furlough of several weeks, this being the only time during the i course in which the Cadet is allowed to leave the I Academy. There are endless opportunities during ! the military exercises for incurring demerit, and if any Cadet incurs one hundred in six months, he i is declared deficient in conduct. For all this drilling, the Cadets receive $o0 per month, and . , are required to pay for board 89 to 810 per month, and W tor washing. Utner exponas, , etc., consume the whole. Xueir iare is or tne plainest kind. The storv in the Eastern papers about a man leaving 8275,000 in the cars while asleep, and then on ovfitino- me after it. irrew out of a sto- ry in a Western paper of a person having such a race for 811 000. But it turns out, after all, that thnrA w.m no monev involved in the case he had o.nr il nnt nf r:ir leavinc his wife .t i ii j i n y (-iviuv-v "j c pursue her journey without mm Jr.. i i The secret of his haste was, he was afraid she would get a divorce if she went through the State of Indiana one day ahead of him.

A letter dated Novara, June 4, to the Loudon TjjMU qh, thte describes some of the troops em ployed in the French army : , The Turcos are a collection of Arabs, negroes, Spaniards and French. The same costume, tbe same flag and the same spirit belong Ut them H. Their faces are fierce looking; their features strongly marked; their manners are rough and reckless; their language is a jargon of all the known and unknown tongues, and finds expression in sharp, short, emphatic words, admirably adapted to military service. Their audacity is astouudmg, all the more so because it is natural to them, is not in any way put on, and is the daily habit of their lives. Their recklessness has in it something of the terrible, for they care no more for their own lives than for the lives of others. They have ari ardent love of adventure, of danger, of battle and ofdiffieulty that is almost insurmountable. Fighting is to them a pastime; human life a piny thing; they jport with deadly weapons as a child with ifci toys. If instinct, instead of reason, were not the motive power of their acts, they might be aptly denominated the most lerocious, moou-iuirsiy cm throat ruffians heaven's fair sunligut ever sbono upon. Such arc the Turcos. I leave you, therefore, to imagine what their charges must he against an enemy, when T add to the above details that they are nimble as squirrels, cunning as monkeys, and savage as tigers. Grapeshot excites their fury U the utmost. A fusillade irritates them; a charge of cavalry is the sole thing they do not liko. They fly against the enemy like an arrow from its bow; they fall upon him as the knife of the guillotine falls upon the condemned neck. The bayonet is the weapon they use; though their teeth are often enlisted into martial service, for somo of tbe wretches love to suck the blood of their foes. I speak by tho card, in making this disgusting announcement. With my own ears I heard, at Vercelli, one of the barbarians declare that he liked to taste Austrian blood ! No troops march liko the Turcos. They run, they ieap, they jump, they bound, they spring like wild beasts; they drag themselves along on their bellies; they dart forward like snakes; and wherever they tread they leave the footsteps of death iu their track. In costume they resemble the Zouaves. They have large breeches of Holland, a little Arab jacket of blue color, and a red Turban. They have thus the aspect of something undiscovered between Turks and devils. When the fellows of this kidney fall upon troops like the Austrians, resistance, however brave, is utterly useless. Everything yields to them, everything disappears, everything except stains of blood and lifeless bodies. ' Their officers in vain cry out, "Make prisoners." Tncy want no bother; can't be incumbered with luggage. In one word, the Turcos is the concentrated essence of the Zouave. A letter from Novara of the 3rd of June, in the Paris Constitutionel, says : I yesterday visited the camp of the Turcos. Their manners are most strange Though they have tents, they sleep outside them, discipline not absolutely requiring that they should deprive themselves of air. When the hour of dinner arrives, an ox is slaughtered, and all the meat is distributed while still nyirm; but many a Kabylo does not wait until his portion is cooked, but oats it raw. "You have great confidence iu these soldiers said I to an officer. "I only fear cavalry on their account," he answered. "They rush up to the mouth of cannon they bear down entire ranks of infantry but a soldier on horseback inspires them with a certain fear. A Disgraceful Act. The Weekly Mirror, published at Lyons, Iowa, states that a stranger passing through Keokuk, a short time since, had a child to die at that place. When he came to pay his bill, he found he had not money enough by 811, which he promised to send back as soon as he should reach Rurlington; but the landlord in sisted upon retaining the, dead hod; of the child as security, which he did. The father went to Rurlington, obtained the necessary funds, and re turned to redeem the body of the child, which, in the meantime, had been buried ! He paid the bill, had the hotly disinterred, and started for home, but had not reached the river, when he waft stopped hy a police officer, and eight dollars de manded for burying the child. Finding himself under arrest and unable to proceed, he patd over the amount and escaped by the first boat that left thn citv. Such an inhuman act is a lasting dis- grace to the city of Keokuk and its officers A Million of Buffalo.
