From the Boston Tribune.

Among all the things that have been
told of the truly great author of fWaverly,
nothing is more to his credit than the fol-
lowing particulars.
1t appears that the firm Of Ballantyne
and Co. with which Sir Walter was con-
nected, and which, through the failure of
the house of Constable, also failed few
years ago, have paid, in two dividends,
the sum of |. $4,000. OF this sum, the
whole was contributed by Sir Walter
Scott, except l. 5000 or !. 1000. He
has, in addition, paid up the premium
for the policy on his own life, by which a
post obu interest of 1900 is secured
to the creditors of the firm; and he has
furnished the whole Of the notes and 9TH
er addenda of the cheap edition of his
works which has already realized to the
creditors a further sum of. $4,000! We
understand, that the trustees on the bank
rupt estate Of Ballantyne and Co., have
called meeting ofthe crcditors,to whom
it is their intention to recommend, as an
acknowledgment of the sense they enter
tain of Sir Walters most honorable con-
duct to request his acceptance of the Ii
brary, manuscripts, curiosities and plate,
which he had placed at their disposal.
A London paper says 'Amerlca may
boast of female novelist, who approach
es as nearly to Miss Edgeworth as the
author of the Water Witch does to Sir
Walter Scott
For Miss Sedgewick, we consider thls
but faint praise. She approaches inf
nitely nearer to Miss Edgeworth, than
Cooper does TO Sir Walter

The works ofthis highly gifted lady are

Eco,oNy OF THE ADMINISTRATION :

ECONOMY OF THE ADNiNisTRATIoN.-
We wish our friends and opponents, in
forming their estimate Of this admins
tration, would adopt very good maxim
of Gen. Jackson's-to Judge the tree
by its fruits:-talking about economy is
not praciicing it-and yet we believe that,
with many people, the professions, the
canting professions of love of economy
which abound in the Presidential mes
sage, will 60 further than the facts and
figures which, in the Secretary of the
Treasury's report, show, that this admin
istration is more extravagant than a
which has preceded it; We take from
the Secretary's report, the following es-
timate of the receipts and expenditures of
the year 1880.

COMPARISONS are odorouS, according

to the slandered. The expenses Of Mr.
Adams administration, extravagant as it
was represented to be by the partizans
of this most economical of adminlstra-
tions never cverrun the receipts. On
the contrary, the receipts always exceed
ed the expenditures Of his administra-
tion; SO that Notwithstanding the large
sums applied by him to the payment of
the national debt, to internal improve
,nents &C. he left at the close of his ad-
ministraton,a "a surplus ofnea arly 5000, 900
of dollars in the Treasury. Take any
wear of Mr. Adams administration and
compare it with this, or the first year of
Gen. Jackson's. Let us take the year

The MENTAL RATTLE OF INFANT Sou
are glad to perceive that
our fellow citizens, are beginning to ap-
preciate those truths with which we have
been so long endeavoring to enforce.
Education is at last pursuing the proper
path. Infants are men in.miniature; and
they should have the same cmploymentsI
and the same enjoyments as men. To
make literary occupations agreeable to
children, it is true they must in some
measure be adapted to their capacity.
Though it is high praise to the passing
age that there is very much in its litera,
ture, which written as it is merely for
grown up people seems entirely adapted
to the weakest infants. The .Mcnai
Rattle is first attempt, and the work
deserves all praise both for its plan and
its execution. Tile Chiid's Oracle.
