No prandy ish now distilled from wine any more; it is not possible to make it sheak enough for dis market from wine, and de American people do not like de real prandy because dey are not used to it" "Did yon say, that French brandy is not so good as our own manufacture We import some brandy from France, do we not?" 1 4tO, we import blenty of prandy to blease de rich peoples, but it ish not good In France de prandy ish made of potato whiskey and dat is not so goot as de corn whiskey what we makes into prandy here Au American Newspaper In Havana.

The Mobile -Beyister says, we have received the prospectus of the 4 Cuban Messenger" a weekly journal to be published in the city of Havana in the English language, and to be "devoted to local, American and European news, commercial and shipping interests, and general intelligence." Its terms are $5 for one year, $3 for six months, and $2 for three months. We have the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with one of the proprietors of this enterprise, CoL J. W. Brvant late of East Florida. He has been for many years an eminent lawyer of that region.

Hi reputation as a gentleman of decided ability and of creat energy, affords an excellent assurance ot the success of the undertaking with which he is connected. An American newspaper in Cuba will be an interesting and attractive feature in the public journalism of the day, and the publication of the Cuban Messenger at so important a commercial point as Havana, and with which Mobile is close prox imity and intimate commercial intercourse, will com mend it to the patronage 01 our citizens. The first number of the new paper will be issued in October next Charleston Courier. FOR TUB RERALD. North Tewsburt, (near Lowell) Mas August 10th 1859.

Dear Herald A snuff of the new mown hay a sight of the bright morning sun rising to give new life and beauty to the waking world a stroll thro some deep woody glen by the margin of a gurgling brook whose waters seem to laugh where a gleam of sunshine now and then struggles through the inter woven branches overhanging, the brook -side with pole and line (at hook at the end of all) stop a bit creep up gently there's a deep dark hole at the end of that swift water just under the projecting rock drop in jerk quick as thought-a bright speckled trout has paid the penalty of a bite bag him and lose no time On we go, down the stream we don't mind getting wet are prepar ed for that we came expecting lt--you can catch trout and keep dry. This is real sport sport for men sport for boys yes, and for both sexes the only particular objection made by the ladies, the baitinff of the hook and taking: off the fish. But they soon get used to it and their nimble fingers readily learn the skill of the angler and the trout who plays around the hook when a lady is at the other end of. the pole, must beware else wil 1 he be caught- "bagged" and in a "mess" before he has time for "for sober second thought When a wo man throws a line, 'tis her very nature to expect some notice to be taken of it even though it be nothing more than a "glorious nibble She is rarely disappointed. (Jjacneior realtors take notice.) Driving, fishing, romping over the fields resting 'neath the overspread branches of glorious old shade trees picking large, fine, ripe black ber ries by the way sideclimbing a gentle slope of hill side where the whortleberries grow abundantly stopping to talk with the brown-armed mowers or with children with "bright morning faces," carrying baskets and pails on berrying excursions now and then the sprightly squirrel skipping over and through the stone fences the beautiful birds singing sweetly these are our daily pastimes.

Do you envy us the pleasure I reckon not you may be just now holding on to the tiller and main sheet a crew of pretty girls, gliding swiftly over the beautiful Sound at "Wrightsville" brim full of enjoyment, such as editors can and do appreciate when they have thrown down, the quill and quit, for awhile, the sanctum! You see we are not yet out of Massachusetts. To-morrow we shall try New Hampshire hills, and endeavor to enjoy life as rationally as we have thus far on our voyage eastward. Meantime Sirs, ON THE WING. Catching tlie Lightning. While the'meriVere engaged in putting a Lightning Rod to the Methodist Church Steeple, in this city, on-Monday evening, they received a severe shock of the electric fluid, which came near throwing them, from the Steeple.

One of them was standing upon the Gilt Ball (115 ft from the ground) and the other one was just beneath it Both had hold of the Rod drawing it up to its place, if hen the Lightning- struck it. It was one of J. A. Aacox's Charleston Cable Rods (reaching in one piece to the ground without joint) and the lower end was lying on wet ground. The flash was very vivid and accompanied with a hissing noise.

Their escape can only be attributed to the fact that the Rod had no joint of any kind and its good connection with moist ground, whereby the fluid was conducted into the earth with such facility that their bodies offered comparatively slight inducement for it to leave the Rod. They, however, received enough of it to make their arms lame for a day or two and to teach them not to ven-tuieso high with their Rods when there is any thunder about Jacksonville (Fla.) JSepublican.

E. Churchv H-w The Gorilla. In Dickens' AU the Year Bound, we find; the following description of this animal, which is said to be most closely allied, in structure, the human form of any of the brute creation The gorilla is of the average height of man, five feet six inches his brain case is low and narrow, and as the fore part of the skull is high, and there is a very prominent ridge above the eyes, the top of the head is perfectly flat, and the brow, with its thick integuments forms a 'scowling penthouse over the eyes.1 Couple with this a deep lead-colored skin, much wrinkled a prominent jaw with the canine teeth (in the males) "of huge size, a receding chin, and we have an exaggeration of the and most forbidding type of human phlslognomy. The neck is short the head pokes forward. The relative proportions ol the body and limbs are nearer those of man, yet they are of more ungainly aspect thanjn any other of the brute kind.

Long shapeless arms, thick and-muscular, with scarce any diminution of gize deserving the name of wrist (for.at the smallest they are fourteen inches round, while a strong man's wrist is not above eight a wide, thick hand, the palm long, and the fingers short, swollen and gouty looking capacious chest broad shoulders legs also thick and shapeless, destitute of cali and very muscular, yet short a handle-like foot, with a thumb to it, 'of huge dimension and portentous power of grasp. No wonder the lion skulks before this monster, and even the elephant is baffled by his malic-ous cunning, activity and strength. The teeth in dicate a vegetable diet, but the repast is sometimes varied with eggs or a brood of young birds. The chief reason of his enmity to the elephant appears to be, not that it ever intentionally injures him, but merely that it shares his taste for certain favorite fruits. And when, from his watch-tower in the upper branches of a tree, he perceives the elephant helping himself to these delicacies, he steals along the bough, and, striking its sensitive proboscis a violent blow with the club with which he is almost always armed, drives off the startled giant, trumpeting shrilly with rage and pain.

44 Towards the negroes, the gorilla seems to cherish an implacable hatred he attacks them quiet unprovoked. If a party of blacks approach unconsciously within range of a tree haunted by one of these wood-demons swinging rapidly down to the lower branches, he clutches with his thumbed foot, at the nearest of them his green eyes flash with rage, his hair stands on end, and the skin above the eyes, drawn rapidly up and down, gives him a fiendish scowL Sometimes, during their excursions in quest of ivory in those gloomy forests the natives will first discover the proximity of a gorilla by the mysterious disappearance of one of their companions. The brute, angling for him' with its horrible foot, dropped from a tree while his strong arms grasp it firmly stretches down his huge hind-hand, seizes the hapless wretch by the throat, draws him up into the boughs, and, as soon as his struggles have ceased, drops him down a strangled corpse. 44 A tree is the gorilla's sleeping-place by night his pleasant abode by day, and his castle of defence. From that coigne of advantage he- waits his foe, should the latter be hardy, or foolhardy, enough to pursue.

No full grown gorilla has ever been taken alive. A bold negro, the leader of an elephant hunting expedition, was offered a hundred dollars for a live gorilla. 4If you gave me the weight of yonder hill in gold, could not do it' he said. "Nevertheless, he has his good qualities in a domestic point of view; he is an amiable and exemplary husband and father, watchiug over his young family with affectionate solicitude, and exerting in their defence his utmost strength and ferocity. The mothers show that devotion to their young in times of danger, which is the most universal of instincts.

gorilla constructs himself a snug hammock out of the long, tough, slender stems of -parasitic plants, and lines it with the broad dried fronds of palms, or with long grass a sort of bed surely not to be despised, swung in the leafy branches of the tree. By day he sits on a bough leaning his back against the trunk, owing to which habit, elderly gorillas become rather bald in those regions. The Fleeting Summer. We have entered the last month of summer, and its days are now slipping rapidly, away. Before we see another one, in the revolving cycle of the year, many anew grave will be digged in the kirkyaid, and many a chair will be vacant in the households of the people.

Those' who are happy can welcome the coming autumn with its ruddy face, and can walk with a cheerful step along its pathways, even as "the good and perfect man" journeys on towards the Evening arid its Rest. Life is an inn on the way side of time, and travelers are going and coming all the time. We leave our regrets at the death of one, to be glad at the appearance of another. Happy is he who is able to take things as they come, drinking with resignation the dregs of disappointment, and rejoicing under the vines of nope and Faith, in the assurance of a blissful future. Daily our friends drop from around us as something tiiey labored for comes in view, and frequently some unlooked for departure to the land of shadows, enforces on us the Biblical truth that death is not so 4onsartin as a' white man." Let us then be prepared Korfolh Day Eool Progress of the Florida IXallroad.

We regretted to observe on Monday last the de parture from this place of about 80 hands, which we ascertained to" be the forcerecently employed by Messrs. McDowell CaUahan, in laying the track on the the Florida Bail Road. On enquiry at the Rail Road Office, we learn that McDowell Callahan have abandoned their and that the residue of the iron will be laid by the Company without the intervention of contractors. Mr. Cole, the Superintendent informs us that be has already about seventy hands available for that purpose a considerable portion of which he has already sent to the end of the track to commence with so that no delay in the progress of the Road will be occasioned by the removal of the hands above mentioned.

East Flori-dian. The present Queen of England does not appear to disapprove of rigid courtly ceremonies. When on a visit to the royal family of France at Eu, the Queen of Belgium had been told that her Majesty of Eng land took every morning at ten o'clock a- glass of iced water. Accordingly, on the day after her arrival, a servant duly made his appearance at the appointed hour, bearing on a silver salver a carafe and two glasses, which he tendered to the sovereign, who declided the refreshments with a wave of the hand. The Belgian Queen seeing this, whispered to her son, who was present, to pour ottt a glass of water, and -offer to the Queen; this being done, was graciously accepted, tile fact being that etiquette would not allow her Majesty to pour out the water for herself when a servant girl present! The Queen may not speak to a tradesman; and Victoria has-bceo seen standing not a yard away from one, addressing all her inquiries to an equerry, who.

repeated them to the tradesman, and again repeated toiler Majesty all his answers.fCforrfce bulletin r.
