THE ENMIT1- OF GENIUS.

MO enemy is 70 terrible as man of genius.
IN The memoirs of Philip de Confines arc
we'll known. The caufe of his enmity to the
D6ke Of Burgundy in theie memoirs has been
difcovered by the minute relearchers of anec-
dote. De confines was born a fubjea of the
Duke of Burgundy, and had been favourite
with that prince, for feven years. Afterwards
De Confines attached him(elf to the Dukes
great enemy, the King of France. He vas in
duced to this by the following ercumaance |:
One day, returning from hunting, with the
Duke, then Count de Charolois, in familiar
joculaIity, he fat hmfelf down before the prince,
and ordered him to pull off bis boots. This
the count did, and laughed, but in return for
his princely amuiement, dalhed the boot on
Comines's nofe, which bled. From that time
he was mortified in the court of Burgundy by
the nickname of the 5osts4 had Confines felt
a ranking wound in his mind. He went over
TO the king of France, and amply exhacd his
bile againf the Duke of Burgundy in hole me.
moirs, which give TO poRerity, a mot unfa-
vourable likenefs Of that prince, whom he ever
centuries for prelumption, obiiinacy, pride, and
cruelty. This Duke of Burgundy, however,
had but one great vice, that Of ambition but
he had many virtues. A man Of the world
will not think that the impertinence of Confines
was ehaaiied with great feverity but, it was
unfortunate for the Duke that Confines was
man of genius If we are well vetfed 10 the
hiliory of the times we hall often difeover, that
the writers of memoirs have fsme fecret potion
in their heart. Many, like him, have had the
boot dafhed on their nole. Perfonal Rancour

PIGEONS.

Pigeons are in PeyGa fuhjea of game hevs.
To be entitled to the privilege of killing wild
pigeon, it is necefary to be a Muhelman and
we learn from TAvERsIER, that Chriifians have
frequently become Mahometans, to entitle them
to this qualification of killing game.
The quantity Of corn de(troyed by pigeons is
amazing. HAsrLrB, in his "Lgacy Of Hy5an-
1ry" calculates that there were in his time
10000 pigeon houfes in England and allow
ing 500 pair to each houfe, and four bulhels
yearly to be confirmed or deftroyed by each
pair, it makes the whole of the corn LOFT to be no
Iefs than thirteen millions of bufhels annually.
1t is, however, but juf to FAY, that it has been
found, that pigeons, like mot other animals,
perfecuted for real or fuppoied mitchell, are at
the fame time of ufe, as they coniume the feeds
of weeds, and alto the infeas which are mol
injurious to the farmer. CEurop. Mag.]

The invitation Of my felow-citilen5 TO the
respectable office which | have undertaken to
execute, has excited in me Entiments Of graft
tudc FIR tAe honor they have conferred upon me.
AT the fame time it has given me anxiety from
an apprehension that I ihall be unable to dit
charge the duties Of the Office ia manner that
will jullity their confidence But flatter NY
ielF that their candor will incline them to Judge
tivorah!y Of the motives Of my conduct, even in
cafes where an error may Re iuppoled.
The occafon upon which We meet, naturally
revlves IN our minds, the recollection Of the fe-
we're lolies We have lately GuFereJ, il the death
Of iome Of our mott refpeaAbl5 and diAneuilhed
fellow citizens.
In the cour!e Of the lac year this State has
been deprived Of its late excellent Governor
lie was eninentiy fitted for the Offices which
he had luitained, for he PoGeftd thofe qualities

understanding and extenfye political and legal
knowledge, he united engaging manners and
habinal goodnels--benevolent, upright and IN
affirming, he was beloved as a Man, and rev.red
as Magtrate and bis memory is blefcd.
Since that event the While nation has fufered
the lols Of the hrlt and belt Of men. We are
all wi,neaes of the unexampled mourning. with
which the death Of Gen. WAsHINcroS Is de-
PloreI. His patriotlm and fervices endeared
him to every friend Of America. and bis fare
has iPread through the world But though the
reputation be acquired from MS great atchieye
ments and abilities was angular attainment,
and may therefore damp the lprit of emulation
yet bis integrity and purity Of manners, his
reiPed for the inltituIions Of religion, and zeal
for the public good, can BE initiated By all
May the people ofthe United States, ever cheriCh
