A REMARKABLE MAN,

At temperance meeting held not long ago in Alabama, Col. Lehmanousky, who had been twen- ty-three years soldier in the armies fl Napoleon Bonapare. addressed the meeting. He arose be- fore the audience, tall, erect and vigorous with the glow of health upon his cheek, and said-
 "You see before you man of 70 years old. have fought 200 battles, have II wounds on my body, have lived 30 days on horse flesh, with the bark of trees for my bread, snow and ice for my drink, the canopy of heaven for my covering, with out stockings or shoes on my feet, and with only few rags for my clothing. In the deserts of Egypt. I have marched for days with a burning sun upon my naked head. feet blistered in the scorching sand, and with eyes, nostrils and mouth filled with dust, and with thirst SD tormenting that have O. pened the veins of my arms and sucked my own blood Do you ask how could have survived all these horrors {? I answer, that to the kind provi- dence of God, owe my preservation, my health and vigor, to this fact-that drank drop of spirituous liquor in my life; and continued he, Baron Larry, chief of the medical staff of the French army, has stated it fact, that the 5000 survivors who safely returned from Egypt, all of them men who abstained from the use of ardent spirits
 EsguUes.-Real esquIres are ofseven sorts:- :-l. Esquires of the Kng's body. whose number is lm- ited to four. ?. The eldest sons of knights, and heir eldest sons born during tteir lifetime. It would seem that, in the days of ancient warfare, the knight often took his eldest son into the wars for the purpose of giving him practical military education, employing him mean while to be his esquire 3 The eldest sons of the younger sons of Peers of the realm. 4. Such as the King in- vests with the collar of SS, including the kings coat of arms. heralds, Sc. The dignity of esquire conferred by Henry w., and his successors, the invesiture of the collar and the gift of silver pair of spurs. Cover, the poet was such an esquire by creation. 5. Esquires to the knight of the Bath, tor life, and their eldest sons. 6. SherifIs for counties for hfe, Coroners and Justices of the Peace, and Gentlemen of the Royal Household, while they continue in their offices. T. Barristers- at-Law, Doctors of Divinity, Law and Medicine, Mayors of towns, and some others said to be of scrutaral dignity, but not actual esqnres. Suppo- sing this enumeration to comprise all who are en- titled to esquireshp, it will be evident that ,hous- ands of persons styled esquire not in reality. It is prevailing Il at persons possessed of E3Oo a year in land are esquires, for an estate of E5O,OOO would not confer the dignity. Nothing but one or the other of the conditions above men, toned is sufficient - CuiOsities 0f Herahlrv.

another, which thev followed without success

suit and returned to the spot where they killed
the first, which they secured and then started for

the snow, which by this time had fallen to a
considerable depth. At length one of the broth

on, declared he could not. The other two broth.
ers continued their march awhile, when a Sec
ond one sat down overcome with fatigue. The
remaining brother now increased his exertons
to reach home, which he at length gained al

sent back 10 lend assistance TO the two Young
men left behind, and after much search, the last
one who gave out was found stretched at full
length, with his faithful dog resting on his body.
