6 LONGFELLOW'S NEW POEM. The Divine Tragedy.” From the Boston Advertiser. A new completed poem by Longfellow was announced last week. The surprise was as great to those who are commonly supposed to keep informed concerning events in the hterarary world as to the public at large. Prccmely how soon it will be on the counters of the bookstores we arc not able to say, but donbfJe^ beforetheeloseof the year. The titleof the poem is “The Divine Tragedy,’’and its subject, the life and death of Christ. The treatment of the theme is dramatic. The poet’s desire inducing him to undertake a wort of this character must necessarily nave been justified by the truest courage, -t ho fascination of the marvellous story of the _ founder of Christianity is a constant invitation to devout and imagina *lV9 souls. It has been rewritten many times and from various motives. Within a few weeks the first volume of an elaborate work outlie subject, by Henry Ward Beecher has been published, but this and all the other lives we can kow recall have been prose nar ratives. Tho miracle plays of the middle ages, and the Passion playVhich has preserv ed their character to recent limes, indicate not only that the incidents of the life of Christ arc susceptible of a dramatic version, but that they make a drama for stage repre sentation of surpassing vividness and power. But such use of the sacred theme has been alien, and to some degree unpleasant, to Eng lish habits ofreligious thought. With this sentiment Mr. Longfellow’s new work will have to contend, but it would be difficult to suppose a more conciliating man ner than that which he has shown throu"h out the spirit and phrasing of the new poem. Tho directness and force of tho dramatic poem are courageously clung to, while a se vere restraint has been imposed on the fancy, the simplicity of the Gospel narratives stead ily maintained, and anachronisms of senti ment and .imagination cautiously avoided. The spirit is deeply reverential, and the lau cuace keeps surp«isingly close to that of the English Scriptures. At a recent gathering at i ho house of Hr. Bartol. when tlic conversa t ion turned upon a remark that one teat of any theory touching men’s souls and inner con sciousness was that it could ho sung, the po etical character of the language of the New i estameut was referred to as evidence of the wisdom of the observation. Probably no one then present had any idea of the re markable demonstration of this Quality of ibe Gospel so soon to bo made by a poet whoso thorough culture is iu nothing more distinguished than the delicacy of hlsseuso of rythm andßmelody, Wherever the lan guage of the poem departs from that of the sacred narratives^there is no corresponding departure of style or lone. The poet has come into beautiful sympathy with the Evangelist and his own words nave shared in the tenderness, and awe and grandeur which impart so much tenderness to theirs. Tho drama opens appropriately with a dialogue between the Angel of the Lord and tlie Prophet Habakkuk, m which the angel reveals to the seer a vision of the coming of Iboßedcemer, Then comes the preaching of John the Baptist summoning the world to reneutcuce. Prom this portion we make the following extract; Repent!repent! repent: For the kingdom of God is at hand. And all the land Full of the knowledge of the Lord shall he As tho waters cover the sea. And encircle the continent! Repent! repent! repent! For 10, the hour appointed. The hour so long foretold By the Prophets of old, or the coming of the Anointed, The Messiah, the Paraclete, The desire of the nations, is nigh! He shall not strive nor cry. Nor his voice he heard in the street; Nor the bruised reed shall he break; Nor quench tho| smoking flax! And many of them that sleep In the dust of earth shall awake, On that great and terrible day. And the wicked shall wail and weep, And be blown like a smoko a wav, And be melted away like wax.

Of these, the story of Mary Magdalene is remarkable for the charitable sentiment and beautiful diction of a solilo quy m which the penitent woman reviews her wasted years; the interviews with Xico demusand the woman of Samaria for the skilful adaptation of the Scripture dialogue to the metre of the poem, and the suicide of Judas for tho intensity of feeling with which he is overpowered when the enormity of his treachery is revealed to his conscience. The following is Judas’ soliloquy; Lost l ]oFt forever lost I Iha re betrayed The innocent blond I OGod! if thou art love, Wby didht ibtm leave me naked to tho tempter l uTiy didst thou not commission tby awlft light ning To strike me dead 1 or why did I not perish iih those l»3* Herod slain, the innocent shildrcn who went with playthings In their little hands Into the darkness of the other world As if to bed I Or wherefore was I born, if thou in tby foreknowledge didst perceive All that I am, and all that I must be I I know I am not generous, am not gentle I.ike ol her men; hut I have tried to he.

How successfully Mr. Longfel low has managed this incident will better than any words exemplify and commend the sinrit ofthe whole work. The conclusion of t he Divine Tragedy is thus simply and grand ly rendered. KAKKAUEM, THE ESSENUAN.

A Successful Experiment with it in the Sydenham Crystal Palace, England. London Correspondence of tbo Toronto Globe. The Crystal Palace was lighted recently with a new light. Nothing can exceed the steadiness, as well as tho whiteness and lu minosity of this light. And it was put to as fair a test as possibly could be, if that can, indeed, be strictly called fair which gave every advantage to its adversary. The new lights were displayed side by side with tho like candelabra and gaseliers lit with gas in the ordinary way, the advantage to the gas being that it was turned on to tho utmost. One candelabra of twenty oxy-hydrogou lights was lit in tho vast nave and the illu mination was perfect, bright and clear, and ample for the whole length. In tho transept two gaseliers at tho foot of tho orchestra were lit with oxy-hydrogen lights, and two with gas; on the stage of the tueatro ouo of the largo candelabra was likewise lit in this way, and the other with gas. Tho gas lights in both cases looked yellow and absolutely dingy. Tho oxy-hydrogou lights were soft, steady and brilliant, eclipsing tho gas com pletely. At over a hundred yards away from them the address iu small hand-writing of a letter could be read perfectly and distinctly, as also could small print in books. From tho gas lights at that distance nothing of the sort could bo deciphered. The oxygon, it "is said, can be made at a commercial price; indeed, it actually costs in the production no more than three shil lings per 1,000 cubic feet. Not that it -will bo sold at that price; and, moreover, the objec tionable lime or zircon wick is altogether dispensed with: the oxygon and hydrogen are burnt together as gases from one burner -—itself a most ingenious contrivance. To Trance belongs the honor ot' the invention, and toM. Tessic clu Motay the merit in par ticular. The oxygen is obtained from the atmosphere—a boundless source. The com mon gas-light takes the oxygen it needs from the air. and the gas engineer spreads out the tlamo of the gas jet into “bats’ wings” and “flsh tails,” and other extended forms, to enable it to seize as much oxygen as possible. The new light consumes no more oxygen than the old light: it simply takes its oxygen pure in stead of diluted. It docs this much more, however, it takes it in a wholesome manner. The old light liberatesall the larger volumes of heated residual nitrogen into the room or apartment in which the combustion goes on, vitiating and polluting the air; the new light has non© of the residual nitrogen, for that is all thrown ofl* into the manufactory, and none of it is brought into the apartments of the habitation. The new light, as produced for household purposes, is perfectly conical, like a candle flame, and quite as steady: its coolness is such that the globe in which it burns maybe handled with case, ami the hand held four inches over the flame without inconvenience. The process of manufacture is ns follows: A small cylinder engine drove a set of three small air-pumps at n rapid rate: these pump ed air into two retorts built up in a furnace, the external walls of which may he roughly said to be about ten feet long by six feet in the section. These retorts were charged with manganite of soda, mixed with some oxide of copper. The manganite has an af fection for oxygen, and takes a largo per centage out ot the air. leaving the abandon ed nitrogen to escape by small flues or iron pipes. The manganite thus gets saturated, as it were, like a sponge, with the oxygen, when a blast of superheated steam is turned on, and this wnshes out and carries oil the oxygen to a reservoir. Then the steam con denses it into water, leaving the reservoir filled with oxygen. By moans of the alteration afforded by the two retorts, the process becomes continuous, and as fast as the air is pumped into the oxy gen it is regularly coming oil. In this way one cubic foot of oxygen is the product of 30 cubic feet of air and 15 of steam. The burner is very ingenious In general shape it is like a double ordinary burner, with one top for the oxygen and another for the hydrogen: both taps are turned on full when the light isouraMg’. the adjustment of the quantities ol the gasses to each other being made once for all by separate regulators; the top of the burneris dished out into a hemispherical cavity, in the centre of which is the oxygen hole, and surrounding it some eight or ten smaller holes for the escape of the Tiydrogeu. The combustion is thus maintained in the centre of the flame, which has the appear ance of a solid cone of light. It is, indeed, the richness of the coal gas in carbon which gives to this oxy-hydrogen light its exceed ing brilliancy. THE OUTLAW “BUCKSKIN.” Retails of His Reath—Tragic Fate of His Squaw and Child. From the San Diego (CaL) Union. Our readers will remember the brief ac count published iu June last of the death of the notorious desperado “Buckskin,” who had fled to Lower California after the mur der of tho Bilderbeck brothers in Los Angeles Countv. A gentleman who has lately re turned from a visit to San Rafael, Lower California, gives us some exceedingly inter esting facts in connection with the pursuit and final killing of the outlaw, and tho melancholy fate which subsequently over took the Indian woman who was the com panion of nis flight, and her bahe. “Buckskin,” with one Graham, murdered the two brothers in Tejunga Canon, Los Angeles County. The latter was arrested, and in his confession, it is said, implicated the former, for whose apprehension a re ward of §=l.ooo was offered. “Buckskin” had in tho meantime escaped, passing through this county across the line into the mountains near San Rafael. Tho real name of this man was Pvbum, as may ho inferred from the record of'the birth of a male child to the Indian woman, entered iu an almanac found on “Buckskin’s” body, where he names the child “James Pyburn.” He was a tall and well-formed man (with tho excep tion of a deformity in his feet, tho great toes of which overlapped tho smaller ones), and was constantly clad in a full suit of buck skin. “Buckskin” was accompanied in his flight by tho Indian woman and his little sou eight months old, and a partner named Mc- Farland, who had become a counterfeiter in Los Angeles County. During their sojourn m the mountains a dispute arose between tho two men; they left camp together one morning to hunt, and at niglit “Buckskin camo back alone. This was his way of doing business. The Sheriff of Los Angelos County, while on a visit to San Diego early in heard of Pylmrn’s whereabouts, and, accom panied by Under Sheriff Crosthwaite, pro ceeded to Lower California to capture him. Arriving at. San Rafael, they learned that “Buckskin” and his squaw were camped iu tho mountains not. far away, and offered a reward of £250 for his capture, alive or dead. Four well-armed Mexicans acceptedthcoffer. and started the couxtry immediately. Upon reaching his place of eoucealcut one of the parly came unexpectedly upon the despe rado, who, wit h rifle in baud, was apparently awaiting an attack. Xo time was given tho Mex.rau to draw a weapon, even, and ho grasped “Buckskin’s” rifle and endeavored to wrest it from him. In the struggle the was discharged, carrying away two of the Mexican’s Ungers. “Buckskin’’threw down his useless nllo and started for his re volver, winch he had left at the camp near b\ Another of the Mexicans came up at i U appreciating tho situation, tliro ugU tho back. Tho outlaw fell, helpless, and seeing that there remained no hope for def-juco or escape, be sought the Mexicans to kill him. This thev did not do, but after his death, which oc curred in about half an hour, thev cut mV one of his feet, and with that ami his clothes, returned to San Rafael for their reward. The Indian woman, who bad witnessed tho tragic event, expressed great satisfaction at the result, declar ing that for many weary months and miles she had accompanied “Buckskin” through fear. The squaw, with her child and tho horse, were taken to a neighboring ranch to bo cared for until she could return to her tribe in Oregon. But, notwithstanding tho fre quent assurances that no harm would come to her, she seemed to feel continually that her past association with the dead nurdercr would yet bring trouble upon her. and man ifested great uneasiness. A few days after the was brought to tho ranch, sho quietly arose one niglit, and, taking her babe, with some of its little dresses, stole away iutho darkness, leaving behind her horse, blankets, provisions—everything. Diligent search was made for her and tho child, but to no effect. And now comes the probable sequel: About two weeks ago a young mau, while ruling over an unfrequented portion of tho Guadalupe Ranche, about twelve miles from the main road, came suddenly upon a human skull, nearly denuded of flesh, but covered Tvith long, jet-black hair. In his hor ror at the eight he looked no further, but re turned to the raache and told what ho had found. The next day, with several compan ions, ho returned to the spot, and found iu one place the bones of the woman, with some clothing, and near at hand those of an infant, with some little dresses. These were the remains of the Poor Indian woman and her babe. Near the bones a bed of loaves wasdiscovercd, where they had evidently lain down to die. From the moist condition of the soil underneath, and a knife lying in the leaves, it was conjectured that the de spairing mother had taken the life of her little one, and then her own. The hair was cut from the skull by tbo discoverers, and, with the clothing, sent to the authorities at ban Rafael, who immediately sent back an order for the burial of the bones. DUALLY, THE NEW EXPLOSIVE, Details of an Experiment—Demolishing a Bock 136 Feet Under the Sarface, Allentown Pa. (Nov. 19), Correspondence of tho N. Y. Tribune. Tho new explosive, dualin, was tried to daj* at the Crano Iron Company’s mines. Tho company have had groat difficulty in procuring water for their washery, on the ore lands leased by them, situated close bv tho village of Wescoesvillo. They have sunk a well 187 feet deep and six feet square, with no other result than meeting a chock to their further progress iu tho shape of solid limestone rock. It was therefore determined to try the effect of exploding a charge of dualin. at tho bottom of the well,"hoping that, like the prophet’s rod of old, it might cause the waters to gush forth. After a pleasant ride of a little more than two miles from this city, wo peered down in to the blackness of a very deep hole, at the bottom of which wo were informed, tho gen tlcmau in charge of the dualin was at work* preparing for the explosion. Two wires were slowly unwinding from a reel held by one of tho mine hands, mid paying out into the darkness, to bo the medium for communicat ing with tho dualin when all had been pre pared. It was disagreeable to think of the man so far down, alone—or with no other company than the dualin—fixing tho wire to tho terrible charge; nor was it pos sible to refrain from tho speculation. “If it should happen to go oil now!” Near by was a steam drill which had been hauled up from the well an hour before, hav ing just completed tho work of drilling a four and one-half inch hole twenty-six met into the solid rock. This insignificant-look ing piece of machinery accomplishes almost incredible wonders. In forty minutes it drilled a hole three and one-half feet into hard limestone rock. In two hours it worked to a depth of sixteen feet. The machine looks like little more than a cylinder and piston, and fits into the apex of a stout iron tripod. Drills of suitable leught boiugmadc fast to it, it delivers 800 blows a minute, upon the face of the rock. Each blow is equal to a weight of 1,000 pounds, and tho drill takes a twist as it strikes. Steam was communicated to tho machine by a pipe con nected with the stationary engine, used at the mines for pumping. At length we were relieved from suspense by seeing tho proprietor of the dualin rising, like truth, from the bottom of the well. Di vesting himself quickly of his dripping wa terproofs. ho soon entered into an animated explanation of the merits of the drill and the power of the dualin, talking with the elo quence of enthusiasm. Ho opened a two pound package of the duaHn for our inspec tion, and handled it with a freedom that made ns shudder. It looks like a mixture of sawdust and grease, and has a peculiar, faint, sickly odor. A more innocent-look ing package than this one was could not well be made up; but it was trv ing to the nerves to see it thrown with great violence upon the ground to con vince the lookors-on that it would not cx- S lode by concussion. Still less did it. con nee to personal serenity to see tho exhibitor put a handful upon a stone, and coolly draw a match from nia pocket and sot lire to it. Everybody present drew a sigh of relief when, after fizzing like damp gunpowder, and showing a bright blue llanie, tho mixture finally went out without any kind of explo sion. After dinner, in the presence of a largo number of persons, the charge in the well was fired. The dualin, it will lie understood, was 20 feet in the rock at the bottom of* a well K»7 feet deep. Be tween 20 and o0 feet of water had been let in on top of the charge—for water makes no sort of difference to'this terrible explosive. A few turns of the electric ma chine, and a dull, booming sound was beard; the ground trembled with the shock, a cloud which looked like dust rose from the well’s mmith, and the thine was done. What was done? We can get a very good idea of the smash that occurred down there from what we saw on the surface soon after ward. Two pounds of dualin were laid upon the top of the largest piece of lime stone rock that could be found in the neigh borhood. The rock probably weighed be tween ton and twelve hundred weight. The powder was simply laid upon the top of it, with the wire, and covered with two sbevelfulls of earth. The electric machine connected with it was carried to a safe place on the other side of the held, and the opera tor simply turned the handle. The explosion which followed was terrific. Strange to say, there were no falling fragments of rock to he seen or heard, but only after the sharp re port a small cloud of dust and whir© smoke like steam. The effect npoa th£ rock* wasTo pulverize it. There were perhaps half a dozen good-sized pieces left, but none larger than a man’s head, and riie rest was powdered and mashed into the hole where the rock had been. Such a tumble power has the dualin that it would seem to bo unfit for breaking quarried stone, on account of the waste thatmust necessarily ensue. It was very natural for a spectator to say, as one of the party did, Why, where has the rock gone to f” The gentleman in charge of the explosive, who has undertaken to give an abundant supply of water for the Crane Company’s n )ine, feels confident of being able to accom plish this with the dualin. He handles it with such skill and fearlessness as, after a time, to begot confidence in the spectators. Of course, the composition of the explosive is a secret. The Row Among the Ritualist*. From the New York World, Nov. 27. iho differences in rho views held hy the vestrymen and pastor of Christ Church have long caused a considerable lack of harmony in the worship there, Ur. Ewor, as is uni versally known, was desirous of introducing the rites and usages of the early Church, and his vestrymen wore opposed to any iunova t o* l o general form of worship. The last of these was the institution of the con fessioDal--uoU however, in the souse that the Church of Romo uses it—and all differ ences wore settled at a meeting of the vestry men on the 17th Inst., by Ur. Ewer’s letter of resignation, and its unanimous acceptance, \esterday the service at the Church of the Holy Light, on Seventh avenue, where Dr. Ewer officiated, was well attended. Ihe little ediiicc is very unpre tentious, ornamented, however by a very tasteful altar, surmounting which is a largo crossstudded with gas jets. It was crowded chielly by the members of Christ Church parish, who aro of Dr. Ewer’s way of thiuk ing, r«o allusion was made to tlio recent trouble by the reverend gentleman, who, alter the conclusion of the services, in con versation, said, “Wc arc staying hero for the present; how long wc shall continue to do so depends upon what arrangements wo can make.” Kcportcr.

A Corner In Turnips—How a Fonglt- Itceptiic Genius Raised the Price from Xwenty.firc to Bixtr-nvo Cents a Bushel, From the Poughkeepsie (N. Y.) Eagle. In October last 0. W. Wright, whose place of business is at 457 Main street, contracted, according to Mr. Wright’s statement, with B. P. Jones, who resides on the South road, for his (Jones’) turnips. Wright was to gather them and take them to market and sell them, giving Jones ouo-half of the proceeds, Jones furnishing the team. Wright wont to work with a will, and gathered turnips without number, but came to the conclusion that thov didn’t bring enough for him to make his salt. So it be came necessary to use strategy, in order to faise the price from twenty cents per bushel to a figure much higher. Wright’s brain was equal to the emergency. Ho went into executive session with himself, and, after tmuKing the mat ter over careful!}*, came to a conclusion at onco brilliant and novel. with himself, lie walked forth a changed man, and immediately had ame made out of the aforesaid turnips which was very palatable, and was so pro nounced by Jones. Thereupon WrMit seated himself at the table, and penned re ceipts for the making, and sent thorn to the several newspaper ofiices, from whence thev were given to ilie public. Good housewives read the nows with pleas ure, ami straightway there was a demand for “golden hall turnips” for turnip pie.
