When they are fit for anything thty" are fit for all things and those who are fit for nothing go elsewhere, to die.

But hear our victim he says his course of life, unier the cramming pro cess, was simply intolerable, involving continuous study for ten and a half hours each day, with One night in the week for attendance at prayer-meeting, great end was gained," he says, in sending our men better prepared for college than any other preparatory school in the land. It was, however, at the oust of the health and bodily vigor of the many who failed in the race, and of too large a proportion of those who won. I decided long ago that my children, when old enough for school, should have no more study than they could learn during the hours devoted to the school sessions with a stated number of hours at home and in this decision, this victim of a bad system, who was fortunately robust enough to pull through, is entirely right. His revelations may have some weight, even in Boston, for the better sort of folk in that singular town are beginning to see the error of this cramming process, and a few sensible men and women are moving for a reform. stood the stately residence of that good citizen Dr.

George Stevenson, occupying one-half the square towards Pitt street; the other half of which was owned by the late Judge Samuel Roberts, who built a house upon it of which he occupied a portion for a few years before his death, after which it was purchased and completed by Mrs. Duncan, grandmother of our present John Duncan. Her garden and orchard covered all the ground back to the Allegheny river. On the other side of Penn street more than half the square was taken up by the garden and orchard attached to the house of Iiavid the residence of Thomas Cromwell, and still later of John Burgess. On a portion of this square, and fronting on Pitt street, were some small tenements, one of which was occupied by the well known teamster Balser Ream.

tin the same side of Penn, but across Pitt street the lots were vacant until you came to two brick houses still standing, which were owned by the widow of Wm. Porter, who afterwards married Thomas Enoch, Esq. Tbey are now owned by James Brown. At the time of which 1 write, they were occupied, one by the parents of Mr. John Riiipey.our late worthy Wharf Master, and the other by Reuben Miller.

The rest of the square was the garden of Mrs. Cecil, mother of the late Mrs. Charles Brewer. This square, on the other side of the street, was vacant, with the exception of one old frame house on the corner of Pitt street, until the rolling mill of Christy Cowan was built, and then it filled up with dwelling houses and other buildings connected with the mill. On the Allegheny front, at the corner of Cecil's alley, stood the slaughter-house, and near it the dwelling, of Richard Sanderson, on the same ground where now stands the fine plow factory of Hall and Speer.

On the Allegheny side of Penn street, towards St. Clair there were gardens, with the exception of the ferry house and a tavern on the corner of St Clair street and the river bank owned by a Mr. Batrick. This was long before the bridges were built. On a part of this same lot a celebration and dinner were given in honor of the Pittsburgh Blues, after their return from the war; on which occasion a very serious accident resulted from the premature discharge of a cannon, with which salutes were being fired, by which a man by the name of Beech lost his arm.

tin the south side of Penn street towards Cecil's alley there was a row of frame building, one of which was occuiiied by the well known lawyer Mountain and another by Long, a tanner whose tan yard was in the place where Jackmans livery-stable now stands. Then between that and St. Clair street was an old frame building, which is Btill standing. This seem to be a good place to stop for the present, but in my next I shall endeavor to extend my walk to the city line. Hip.

Oar lata newi from Ban Domingo hu taken a ludden turn, and the No Annexation' party appear In inch tattling atti tude, that we are half inclined to believe there is bat little if any truth in the state ments received. We do not propose to enter into any argument on the improbabilities connected with these rumors. But be they true or untrue, we hare little doubt that an Influence foreign to the gen eral voice of Ban Domingo at work, in exciting this disturbance. labial has found a convert in the shape of one Lupe- roo, a Dominican Ueneral, who has do. sorted the cause of Baea and gone over to the enemy.

It is not the first time such men have been discovered, but ss we do not hear of him4aking anybody with him, and as we have a faint idea ef the gallant Dominican in cap and spurs tendering his individual services to the commander of a handful of men, we re unable to feel much anxiety, so far as this one act is concerned, about the popular desire of the San Demingo people for annexation. But we regard their desires as but a small part of the query whether Ban Domicgo shall be annexed. Of course if they do not want annexation that should end the matter. Bat even if they do want it, there is much more than that one fact to be ascertained. One other inquiry that should be made is, does the United Btates want it I SOUTHERN PROTECTION.

Rumor' is exceedingly contradictory ever the probable adjournment of Congress. It appears now, however, as if the President would send a message to Congress on Monday, relative to the Ku Klux organizations, and matters in the 6outh. There has undoubtedly much influence been brought to bear on the Free idsnt, not to send in any such message at present, for the reason that it would pro long the session of Congress, and give rise to ths introduction of many bills, that would involve much discussion. On the other hand, there either are or are not loyal Union men and women in the Bonth, suffering for the want of some protection. If these people exist and that tbey do is as certain as that night follows day they should have ample securities for their lives and property thrown around them now.

It matters not how much debate may spring up over other matters, nor should it be a question of expense. All that is to be ascertained is, first, do these bands of midnight assassins actually exist in the Southern Btates, and, second, do they prey on the loyal men and women of the anion. If these facta are true, then it is cowardly to talk about time, or expense, in throwing around our citizens enough protection, to secure their lives from the knife of the assassin. We hope the President will send in a Message to Congress on the sub-1 jeet, and we earnestly hope that it will urge severe, and immediate remedies, for these evils. Socially and politically it is necessary that they should be corrected.

Not a Southern Bute in this Union, will return a popular vote at the next general election. If there is not some security of fered to those who respect and serve the Government. They will return a vote, ef course, but so far from it being the voice of the people, it will be the voice of the minority, who have intimidated the ma jority, which our Government failed to protect. Socially and politically, these evils should be corrected, or the South after the next general election, will be a spot in which no Union man can live. We cannot turn from this subject with out referring our readers to the tele grams from Columbia, South Carolina.

As is perfectly natural, these long and persistent outrages have culminated in a fearful riot, which the Bute feels totally unable to repress, and calls on the United States for assistance. Our only wonder is, that the down-trodden, beaten and outraged Union men bavs not long ago rises in retaliation. THE COMMERCIAL VERSUS THE PRESIDENT. It 1 well known that notwithstanding its proteased devotion to Republican doc trines, ths Commercial has been seeking I constantly for a pretext to assail tll. I President.

The reasons for its opposi tion to ths National Executive have, on several occasions, been referred to these columns, and it is not necessary to cite them again. We will content our selves by saying, that if its opposition were baaed on purely patriotic grounds, and arose front aa honest opinion in re gard to the administration of national affairs, it would not be so objectionable. Bo I r.r fmm thia It is based unon aelflshnesa ana disappointment. Every deliberative body has a right to I say who shall be its officers, and serve on Its committees. But the Commercial could not allow the action of the Sena- torlal caucus, which substituted Mr.

I am-1 eron for Mr. Bnmner as Chairman of the I (WittM on Foreign Relations, to pass without assailing President 41 rant in the moat bitter terms, and charging him with intriguing in the matter. In its issue of Saturday it speaks on this subject as follows: Now. that the act has been consum mated under circumstances of humilia tion and affront to the Senator, and in a whicb can hardly fail to excite I tUs indignation of his constituents as well aa bin friends and admirers in every State, we an compelled to characterize written the week before.

Did Paris Vote for a a Gunboat or a man The London Timee' corrcsDoudent Paris, noting the members of the ne French Assembly who are elected from Pans, tells this story of one of the num Der: The last elected is M. Farcv. Who M. Farcy and why is he elected? rarcy is only a naval lieutenant, who lu ing the siege of Pans commanded a gu boat on the Seine. This vessel was arm ea wun a Dig gun.

ana this gun, it was stunned, carried death and terror into the Prussian ranks. There was no bat fery, no Krupp gun, no field or permanent fortification that could stand before this formidable machine. 'o one had gone to verify this fact; but the news papers having repeated it in every tone, it soon became matter of history. The gunboat was called from the name of commander the Farcy gun was also named the Farcy gun. Some well-informed persons een added that eutenant Farcy was the inventor of the gunboat, to wnicn he had been able in very small space to make sulflcient room lor an enormous gun.

But others. knew quite as much about it, declared tbat it was the cannon that was Farcv work, and they grounded their opinion on ciaim maae upon tne government, the object of which was to give a new carriage to the Farcy gun which would en aoie it to throw its shellB in among aj the Prussian artillery helmets. At one moment the whole question of me aeience oi rans turned upon thi gun carriage, and when the bombard ment commenced people did not hesi tate to say that if the Farcy cannon had had its carriage Buch an insult would never have been offered to the capital. In the midst of all these contradictory savings tne inhabitants on the two banks of the river still suspended their judgment, and were aim aeamg wnemer it was tne gu or its support that was invented by rarcy, when the Armistice was signed and the Deputies convoked. By reason of the great noise made by his cannon Farcy found himself placed on the list ome voted for the gun some for the gunboat in short, the officer who had done his duty as an artilleryman and sailor got about 7U.00O votes, which have enabled him to go to Bordeaux to treat for peace and give a new Constitution to ranee, it has not been stated whether he is to take his gunboat and his gun with him.

it seems to me a matter of the highest political interest that the question so long debated should be deli nitively settled. The Parisians must at last know what they have voted for, wnetner for the gun or the gunboat. I on my think, perhaps, that I am jok Ing; nothing can be more serious: I will not say more sad. M. Farcy's election is an Historical fact, It is not an apoloirue but as from an apologue a good moral uij ue orawn.

It is sutticient for i name to resound often in the ears of th 1 ansians and to be touched with a ray of persecution, or only the reflection of win on tne part of the (iovernment and popularity is assured. They do not wuwiuer toe name is that of man of worth, nor even if the man exists If an election comes, thev will vnin fo ul m. Aa Emerald Idol and Its Temple "The English Governess at the Siamese Court has this account of the Temple of tne r-oieraia idol in iam The temple itself is unquestionably one of the most remarkable and beautiful structures of its class in the Orient: tin lofty octagonal pillars, the quaint Oothic doors ana windows, the tapering and irild ed roofs, are carved in au infinite varietv oi emwiems, tile lotos sna the palm pre dominating, luf aoornment of the ex terior is only equalled in its profusion by the pictorial and hieroglyphic embelliah-ment within. The ceiling is covered with mythological figures and symbols. Most conspicuous among the latter are the lum inous circles resembling the mystic orb oi tue ninaoos, and representing the seven constellstions known to the ancients these revolve round a central sun in the form of a lotos, called by the Siamese Dvk Attit (sun flower.) because itexoands its leaves to the rising sun and contracts mem as ne sets, on the cornices are dis played the twelve signs of the iodise The altar is a wonder of dimensions and splendor a pyramid one hundred feet high, terminating in a fine snire of irold and surrounded on every side bv idols, all curious and precious, from the biiou nisge in sapphire to the colossal statue in plate gold.

A series of tronhies these gathered from the triumphs of Buddhism over the proudest forms of worship in the oiu pagau woria. In the pillars that surround thntmnnla and the spires that taper far aloft, may ue iracea types and emblems borrowed from the Temple of the Sun at UhmIIum the proud fane of Diana at Ephesus, the sunnes oi me iman Apoiio; but tli. Brahminical symbals and interpretations prevail. Strange that it should be so with a sect that suffered by the slaving. and outcastings of a ruthless persecution at the hands of their Brahmin fathers, for tne cause or restoring the culture of that simple and pure philosophy which flour- usueu uei-jre pantueism.

The combination is as harmonious as it is splendid No wonder it is commonly believed that Buddha himself alighted on the spot in the form of a great emerald, and br a flash of liirhtnioir conjured the glittering edifice and altar in an instant from the earth, to house and throne him there.

aalLdtlUTTaa Pbiadaiabla. Cobtrarti taken In an, eontrT for RocSnp Ccraloe work of be a. uu uw iiwu, buii urn wnicn is con tained in the short extracts given above. In the article from which they are taken, as indeed in almost everv issue of the journal in which they appear. Senator lameron is denounced as unfit for any position of honor or trust, and yet President Grant is represented as having expressed his desire that he, of all ethers, should be elevated to the important and responsible position of Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations.

The natural inference which the Commercial leaves its readers to draw is, that neither the President nor Mr. Cameron is fit to occupy any position in the executive or legislative affairs of the nation. Not daring to come out boldly and assail the President in this stronghold of his friendB, it covertly stabs him over the shoulders of one who has become the innocent object of its malignant and inveterate hate. We have not the slightest doubt that the President is well satisfied that the name of Mr. Cameron has been substituted for that of Mr.

Sumner on the Committee referred to, but the Washington correspondent of the New York Timet shows plainly that he neither "dictated" nor "demanded the change." But granting that Mr. Cameron was not "selected by the Senate," of its own volition, "to fill the important place of chairman of the Committee on Foreign notations." and that "the Administration must take the responsibility of the appointment of Cameron," how will the Commercial reconcile this statement, with that which it has so frequently made in the face of our repeated declaration to the contrary, "that Senator Cameron had no influence with the Administration, and that he was despised and avoided by the President?" To which of these declarations does our neighbor adhere His undying hatred to Senator Cameron impelled him to attempt to degrade him in the estimation of the people, by asserting that he was despised by the President. This assertion of the Commercial, as shown by its article of Saturday was gratuitous and unfounded. We knew that Senator Cameron stood deservedly high in the estimation of President Grant, as well ss his fellow Senators, and the re. suit ef Thursday's Senatorial caucus is all the corroboration of our opinion that we desire.

But we wish to tell our neighbor and readers, that we know what we affirm when we assert that President Grant is incapable of cherishing "petty spite," "personal ill-will," or "vindictiveness" towards Senator Sumner or any other man, and if in any way he has signified his de. ire for a change in the chairmanship of the Committee on Foreign Relations, he has done it on the ground, purely, that the best interests of the public demanded It. His highest ambition is to serve his country and advance its interests. In conclusion, we say in all kindness to the Commercial, you have overestimated your influence. With more than the rayenousness of a harpy you have pursued Senator Cameron for years, and sought to let out the last drop of the blood of his political life, but now "he is comforted and thou art tor mented." The storm of tout indignation has been powerless.

He has been vindi cated, according to your own showing, by the highest authority in the nation, and no one knows his worth better than the honest and upright President whom you wantonly seek to defame by charging him th -cherishing "petty spite." "personal ill will" and "vindictiveness." For the Pittsburgh Gazette. THE OLDEN TISE. IV.

From this to Mar- bury street, then known by the vulfrar name oi uatiers uut, a nigh gravel embankment ran along Penn street, which I have little doubt was thrown ud as an earthwork by the French. It may have been thirty feet niim, and at the base of this Unlock was a small body of water, known as the garrison pond, which was some 200 yards long and 80 to 120 broad with an average depth of from three to four feet, and there the bovs used to enjoy skating as it was a safe place to I practice taat amusement, and in summer, as it was well stocked with minnows, the I were accustomed to supply themselves with them for bait. I The space between the pond and the Al- I legheny river was a common ground two I nunarea yarns or more in width, which I formed a good pasture for the citizens' cows, uunngme war oi tnere was I a rope-walk along the bank of the river I where the large -cables were made for Perry fleet on Lake Erie, by our late lamented fellow citizen John Irwin and his brother in-law Matthias Ueorire. A few years latera ship-yard was established by -Messrs hlilrir, on the bank of th Monongahela between Penn and Liberty streets, whicn was superintended by wm uel Friabee and his brothers Ephraim and Joseph, and on this open spot a portion of the timber was prepared for building nd several saw-pits were erected where fs P'snKs were wnipwea.

in connec with a was built fronting on Penn street near the place where now stands the Ilsrron foundry and machine shop, in a few years the Whitiog's purchased the Cowan rolling mill, and the shin yard was contin ued by the Friabees. The last boat built there, I think, was the Jubilee, owned by Allen and Uraat and launched on the 4th of July Mr Mara early built the large ware- house on the corner of Penn and Water I streets, occupied by Cromwell and Dob Din. ow used, I believe, by Mr. ar- Irard.asa malt-house. The rest of this Ur((, trom penn strmt to the riv.er remained vacant many years but what a cnange nas now taken place! 1 he hill is hled, the pond filhjd bp, and the entire property covered over with dwellings and of Along the south side of Penn street, np as far as Marbury, there were then but two houses, one of logs, the other a brick occupied by Mr.

Bell, father of the late John B. and Thompson Bell, the banker. On the east side ef Marbury street was a large frame building, wbicb still stands. It was the residence of Colonel Wilkins. and from there to Hay street was an open space, nsea as gardens ana corn ana pota to patches.

Ira the nortn side, above Mar- bury, was first, the carpenter shop of Matthew Evans, and then the bnck dwell- ing houses, one of which was occupied by the late Magnus Murray and the other by Captain James tt. isutler, who com manded that heroic little band of soldiers known in the war of 1812 as the Pitts burgh Blues.

Banquet and Successful Trial of the Kug-ines Made br the Knapp Fort Pitl Foundry. From a very long account of the inau guration of the new engines, given in the St.

Louis Democrat, we extract as follows The erection of the engiues at Bissell rotnt during the past year lias been charge of James Krapp, one of tb contractors, and Andrew J. Chaphe, for the past eight years one of the engineers or me Brooklyn ater oris, has had the responsible position of Eogineer-in Chief of the four engines. His principal assistant, J. V. Steele, from the same works, hadtheditlicult talk assigned him of erecting the low-service engines, while devoted his almost entire attention to the erection of the high-service engines.

That they have both been equal to the emergency, no one who saw tne trial yesterday can doubt. The Knapp Fort Pitt Foundry Company, by the contract, have the right to appoint all the men necessary for running the engines for one year, the city of course defraving the expense. They have already made me xoiiowing appointments lor tne ensu. ing year Andrew J. CLaphe, chief.

John F. Steele, first assistant. Jas. B. Martin, second assistant.

The succesgf ul oomnletion of the work of putting up the engines and placing them in running order was celebrated yesterday by a banquet given at the high nervice engine uouse, oy tue Jlessrs noiapp. The following gentlemen from abroad came te tne city to attend the celebravpi laptain K.
