enius.--Mr. STEARNS
has upon his easel a painting of the Interview between Tecumseh and
General Harrison, at Vincennes, in 1811. By some oversight no seat had
been provided for the Indian chief. The unintentional discourtesy was
corrected by General Harrison, with the words, "Warrior, your father,
General Harrison, offers you a seat." Tecumseh drew up his stately form
to its full height, and raising his hand to heaven, exclaimed proudly,
"My father! The Great Spirit is my father, and the Earth my mother; she
feeds me and clothes me, and I recline upon her bosom!"--Mr. T. A.
RICHARDS has recently completed a painting which might appropriately
enough be named "Recollections of Lake Winnipiseogee," portraying rather
the general characteristics of that lake, than depicting the particular

JENNY LIND is verging New York-ward. Her next concert here is announced
for May 12. The New York firemen have procured a testimonial to be
presented to her in acknowledgment of her munificent donation of $3000
to the funds of the Department. It consists of a complete copy of
Audubon's Birds and Quadrupeds of America, in a beautiful case; and a
gold box, appropriately ornamented, containing a copy of their vote of
thanks to her. The following ratherish pretty and altogether German
lines were contributed by her to the album of a gentleman in Washington;

"In vain I seek for rest
In all created good.
It leaves me still unblest,
And makes me cry for God.
And sure, at rest I can not be
Until my heart finds rest in thee."

The renowned TUPPER is undergoing the process of lionization. He has
introduced a new feature into his representation of the part, by the
recitation in public of his own verses. He has produced for the Great
London Exhibition a "Hymn for all Nations," which is to be translated
into thirty different languages, set to music, and printed. This
polyglott will be a philological curiosity, if no more.

Mr. CRALLE, the intimate friend and confidential secretary of Mr.
CALHOUN, is engaged in preparing for publication the Works of the great
southern statesman, to be accompanied by a Biography. The whole will be
comprised, probably, in six octavo volumes. The first volume, which is
now printed, and will soon be ready for publica
