Correspondence of the Palladium. Matters an Things la Rw Tork- Nfw Yoxa:, 0(;t. 7th. Autumn is fairly inaugurated, and the "brown autumnal feeling," which denotes its approach, hot noon-times, and ihe rle mtmd for Soda Water liave gotie nwoy to gether. Th sunlight streams slantingly thus, the fleecy hiute 'which wraps the woody shores of the "liny'' in Its blue fold, und drenmily winds iUelf into the Streets of the city. A dry leaf occasion ally flutters to the side-walk, with a s:id premonition of the time, when all leaves shall have left. Peaches have disappear ed from the fruiltwrs atnlk, and the spec tral placards, warning Park-loMttgers off the gr, begi to wear a mot king aspect", as if they regarded what they were say ing, in the light of a good jnke. The Hotels are crowded, from the palatini St. Nicholas, with ite Vow of genteel idlers standing ut nil hours before the entrance, (for the express object, it would seem, of self-exhibition, nnd hy force of broad cloth, much hair And more brass, to stare bashful lady protnenailers out of counte nance,) to the less pretention houses of Courtl.indt street, where country-merchants most do congregate. All sections of the country are fully represented at these, nnd lover of the picturesque, could not full to be gratified at a dinner scene, at one of them, say the Western. As the hour npproaches, the entrances to the Hall are thronged, and at the sound of '.he gong, the scats are filled in a twink ling, and shade of Apicius! what eating is here! Flocks of turkeys, with brown, shiny legs, nnd plump, frpgrant breasts, dwindle instantaneously into a handful of bones lomotoe, succotash and sweet po tatoes, melt away like butter in the sun, and whole rows of pastry, nre bowled down with ten-strike. The almonds and raisins esoape there is no lime for desert, and in twenty minutes from the time each set down, he may be seen tooth-pick in mouth, Xirging his way to some business appointment. ' Aniontr thi nimmn diacoverves of our 'politics! age, which are "every day applied do generalize luxury and multiply comforts. I cannot resist the temptation, to notice a substitute for (lug-stones, which isjual coming into use, and which promises to form nn important feature at no very distant duy, in the beauty and convenience of our streets. We refer to the kind of flagging, in which the miner al substance, called tsphallum, forms the new and principle clement. We have had an opportunity, teccntly, of observing the construction of a piece of side-walk, of this pcculi.ir character, and feel willing to accord to it, a superior merit. The os phnllum is melted, end while in a state of fusion, certain quantities of Lilicla, and we believe some other foreign substances, but the ingredients, at well as their pro portionj of the composition, are held in tecret by the patentees, until the whole acquires a consistency and peculiar quali ty, which fits it for i's purpose as a mine ral cement. A layer of broken stone of the size used for MaeAduminzing, is spread upon it, until the interstices are mostly filled, and while the liquid is cool ing, the paver'i rammer is called into re el uisition. to consolidate the mass. After this is fairly cooled, a covering of the semi fluid is imposed., from two to three inehes thick, and is smoothed leveled and pressed with instruments, to as to form a coniinu ous surface, uninterrupted by joints to any extent of area required, which becomes in on hour as hard a granite. It is claimed, that this resists all vicit situdes of the weulher, as well as rock and that it is no more liable to be broken by the superposition of weights on the rolling of loaded vehicles, than paving m .1 . . . siones oi me same inickne&s. We are in clined to admit this claim from what we have seen of it, and certainly it forms a most beuutifu! aiJew..lk, obviuling, in rainy wcuther, if it be properly sloped, the diss greeble necessity which the pedestrian finds, of continually plunging into puddle of dirty water at every step. Although its price is somewhat dearer than com mon flagging, it will probably be furnish ed at much cheaper rate in time, and we hope to see it in general use. It will be a Cue companion for the Buss pavements The meeting of the stoc k-holders of the New York and New Hampshire Railroad Company, on Tuesday, resulted, us might have been expected, in nothing but an open quarrel. The Connecticut people pretend they can't breathe freely in the noxious atmosphere of Wil street, and therefore, the meeting of next month i. uppointed at New Haven. We hope that the bracing moral bir of New 1'iigland, ! wilt do murJi tawaMs tooling the fever ish pulse of temper, nnd strengthening the sinking heart of hope, in the booms of all interested in tlie occasion, The Stnte Fair, which opened the third inst., close on Friday, with nn address by John P. Hall, and the award of premi ums. A drizzling rain, which grew into a stoim on the second day, excited the feer, that the affair Would occasion one of those miniature deluges, which camp mrrting are popularly supposed to pro voke, but to-day is aingulnrly favorable. The fruit department is said to be unusu ally good, especially in Apples and Pears. Of the latter, the old favorites, the Hirt lett and Virgellan, bear away the bell. The domestic department oflcr little wor thy of notice. A beuutjful Cashmere Goa' attracted much attention froirt.the ladies, who, judging from the manner each fair visitor stroked his worship's long, silken goatee, rather considered that ap pendage an ornament than otherwise. As a whole, the Exhibition must be consider ed as inferior to that of last year. An additional feature of interest is in troduced into the political scrub-race, to come off this fall, that is, the nomination of Daniel Ulhnan, for Governor, by the Know-Nothings. This could hardly have been forseen, but some such a thing was needed, to make the medley complete. It is doubtful if the Silver Greys unite on Y'm, It is the general impression, iL.t Dr. Graliam, the murderer of Col. Loring, will be acquitted. A first cousin of Mrs. Graham, is one of the jurymen JjThe truth of the following, from the Daily Globe, can be vouched for by every editor who has had ary experience in the matter spoken of. We commend it to our readers, and hope, when they have read it, they will be less disposed to judge uncharitably of the corps editorial : Selections for a Newspaper.- Most people think the selection of suitable mat ter for. a newspaper, the easiest part of the business How great an error! It is, tv all n:ean,, the most difficult. To in. ever iiii.u.i os ul ea.ltnit every week, from which to select eno'tgh tot nn, especially wncn tno question i not what we shall, but what shall not be selected, is no easy task. If every per son who reads a paper could have edited it, we should hear less complaint. Not infrequently is it the case that an editor ooks over all his exchange papers for something interesting, and Van absolutely find nothing. Every paper is dryer than a contribution box ; and yet something must be had; his paper must come out with something in it, and he does the best he can. To an editor who has the least care about what he selects, the writing that he has to do is the easiest p-rt of the labor. Every subscriber thinks the paper is printed for his own benefit; and if there is nothing it? it that suits him, it must be stopped ; it is good for nothing. Just os many subscribers as an editor mny have, so many tastes he has to consult. One wants something sound. One likes anec dotes, fun and frolic J and the next door neighbor wonders that a man of good sense will put such stuff in a paper. Something spicy comes outk and the editor is a blackguard. Next comes something argumentative, and the editor is a dull fool. And so, between them all, the poor fellow gets roughly handled. They nev er tl ink what does not please them may please the next man i but they insist, if the paper does not please them, it is good for nothing. To Make Socr-Krout. Six heads of cabluige, half a gill of salt. Wash the cabbage nicely, line the tub with outer leaves, and sprinkle over a little of the salt. Cut the cabbages very fine, and put in a layer of the cabbnges, and sprinkle over a little of the salt until the whole is in. Each layer of cabbages must be well pounded down with a heavy pestle. Cover the (op with cabbage leaves and a lillle more suit. Spread over the whole, a clean cloth, and then a board lo fit closely, with weight to press the cnbbnges down. As soon cs fermentation ceases, take ofl the board and cloth, wash thcin well and replace them. The sour krout will now be fit for use.-National Cook Book. Cca ro I)v8ENT:ar. A correspon dent of the Philadelphia Register Bays, the following cure for dysentery, never hut been known to fail: 'Take one pint c? new milk (warm from the cow, if poaible,) and add to it, two tahle-apooiiktull of lino charcoal and one of salt. Drink as the patient is able, and renew the quuntity if needed. The diet tbould be principally rice, or milk toast." StlrtttU HU.hr. K. JOHX B. COUGH. Some few years back, in the early morn, tapgering from a drunken debauch, might be seen n young man in the American town of Newburyport; he had reached the churchyard of the town, and had come there to die. In the wide world he stood alone. Ilia wife was dead. He Imd no friends. He was overwhelmed with mise ry nnd with debt. A., he turned round his anxious eye, he saw no way of escape, any no ray of hope. There was nothing left for him but the drunkard's unhonor ed grave. Another drop, and he would have become a. suicide; but the bottle slrnck his lips, and that saved hit life.--He went back to the : town..; A temper ance meeting was held, and he was in duced to sitcn the pledge., He did more he left his humble calling that of a book binder a became a zealous advocate of the instrumentality that had done bo much for him. Friends gathered round him. As an orator he was perpetually in re quest. For ten years he spoke three hundred times a year, traveled ten thou sand miles n year; his name was John B. Gough. His fame reached this country, nnd a twelvemonth since, he was engag ed by the committee of, the London Tem perance League, to visit England. He came originally for six weeks, bttt he was induced to stop two year. Nor will those acquainted with Exter-hall oratory wonder at the result. See Gough as he tnnds upon the plat form, and you at once I am the secret of his success. He is a spare, thin man, with premature ape stamped upon his face, with a stature by no means imposine. Dressed in ordina ry black, you would take him for a very ordinary man, and the first few sentences that fall from his lips strike you as little better than common-p'ace. Wait awhile, and the orator will warm; the mass before him will respond, and it will beat as with one pulse, while he convulses it with Iauehtcr.' or melt it into tears. Th ff feot is atrikiojr. The scoffer ii 4oMehed; Pr,Mff!ie drunkard is tecinirneu'; Ik most de w M thlt ,llRre u yti ,nd J1Rp. piness, and heaven for lom. And what is it that does nil of this? Not learning; for Mr. Gough has never been to school since he was twelve years old; not reason ing, for he makes no pretentions to the possession of augnmentative powers; not rhetoric, for he tells a plain, unvarnished (ala.and leaves it to others copiously to il lustra'e, or gorgeously to declaim. But the fact is, that he is in earnest; that it is the terrible story of his life he unfolds; and thsK, unved as by firs) himself, he de notes for the salvation of others; a real nntural eloquence, that never tires, never wearies; and a tongue that never growl dull. To save the drunkard to stop the ravages of intemperance to build up a barrier between the intoxicating cup and unpolluted lip to bid man to be true to himself and the Divino principle within him; and to dush down the 'flowing bowl.' wreathed as it may be, by flowers, and presented by Beatify, for beneath, lurks a'serpent that may sting ns nn odder; such is the work of Mr. Gough such is bis unva'icd theme. Had lie been an erafor alone, he must have failed long before this; but he is an nctor as well; he tins unusual flexibility of face and voice. His fea tures can express every shade of feeling; his tones can give utterance to every emo tion of the human heart. lie can be all things in an hour; he is the very Proteus of the platform . He walks up and down it as one inspired; and you tremble all the while, lest the spenker and the audience, in the frenzy of the moment, should rise up, and do something extravagant or mad. You feel what a wonderful instrument the human voice is what power the orator wields. You feci that he has as much power over men us when the Hebrew Paul spoke and Felix trembled, or as when the Athenian Demosthenes roused the decaying hearts of his countrymen, 'and fulmined over Greece Mr. Gough has now been twelve months in this country, of which he is a native for be was born (August 22. 1817) and spent the first twelve years of his life, at Sandgate. Since he has been here, he has traveled over England and Scotland, and has delivered two hundred nd thirty-seven orations to audiences of nn average of at least one thousand five hundred persons. He is accompanied by his second wife, n American lady, to whom he was married in 1843. Hit fath cr was a soldier, and lived on pension in London. He has a sister in America, where he has purchased a small estate at Boylston, Worcester county, about forty ; miles from Boston, where he usually re- VOI 1. NO. If, III. .

The features of the face have an expression wonderfully true to nature, and the whole work reflects great credit on the fair artist, who, we are informed,, employed five months' constant Lbor in its execution.

Curiosity. We taw upon tlie prem ises of Mr. J. B Parsons, in this town, last week, a small pear tree, grafted upon a Quince stock, the whole not more than four feet in height, filled with blossoms. The tree was transplanted last spring, and notwithstanding all the efforts to save it, was supposed to have died, all the leaves having fallen off. But within a few days it hus budded, put forth new leaves, and . is now in full bloom. We have upon our premises, a young apple tree, transplanted last spring, and supposed to have died dur ing the drouth, now in full bloom. Hamp shire Gazette, Northampton, Mass.
