STRANGE TRADITION OF THE PALACE OF
THE RAJAH OF BENAREs.-Conce this
palace there is awonderful story-ihat for
mnny years no one had ever died in it;
but for this fact we discovered the fol-
lowing explanation: One of the former
rulers one day inquired OF Brahmin
what would become of the soul OF man
who should die in his palace 4; and the
Brahmin. as in politeness bound. replied
it would go to heaven but the rajah, it
is to be presumed. was troubled with
some doubts on the subject, and thought
proper to repeat the question ninety nine
times, and then again for the hundredth,
when the Bramin lost all patience, and
replied it would go into an ass and
thenceforward every one, from the prince
to his meanest servant, when they find
themselves the least indisposed, hastens
from the palace. in order to avoid having
to repeat after death part which they
have already perhaps played to perfection
during life.

The WAY a soldier Talks.

Gen. Alexander B. Bradford, of Holly
Springs, Mississippi, recently delivered
speech before the Scott Club of Memphis,
by special invitation, in which he review
ed at some length speech lately made IN
the same city by Col. Jefferson Davis, Of
his State; in which Davis assailed the
military conduct Of General Scott in re-
gard to his maneuvres in Mexico. Davis
spoke of General Scott as being proud,
patulant, vain, and presumptious. Gen.
Bradford, who knows Scott we'll, both per-
sonally and as q commander, and is HIM
self as brave and da ing an officer as ever
met the enemies Of his country upon a
battlefield, thus reviewed Jefferson Da-
vis's speech.
He speaks what he knows, and testities
TO what he has seen; and we commend
the following short and eloquent review
TO the especial consideration of all who,
like Col. Davis, are disposed to criticise
with undue severity the actions of the
glorious old thunderer who has borne his
country's banner to the breeze OF hun
dred dangerous and death dealing battles :
"Col. Davis told you. fellow-citizens, that
the affections and confidence of those a
round him, General Scott is singularly
wanting-being proud petulant vain, aud
presumptuous. If it be proud to pay strict
attention to the wants of the poor soldier
to visit the dreary and pestilential hos
pital and wipe the moisture from the few
cred brow OF the sick-to wait upon the
cholera patients Of the army-to raise the
DIVING soldier from his CORY bed on the bat
te-field and staunch his bleeding wounds
if il be proud to do these things, then
Gen. Scott is very proud, very haugh-
~ man. If 1t be petulant to curb the
restless and unruly officers of the army
10 hold them down with hand of iron,
and make them behave themselves like
good soldiers and gentlemen--lf 1t be pet
ulant to be eight on the officers but good
to the men'-if this De petulant, then Gen.
Scott is something of petuIant and pee
wish man. If it is vain to apparel hlmseii
on the eve Of battle according to the rul-
es and regulations of the service, with his
golden epauletts on his shoulders and his
tall plume towering above him, so that
friend and foe may know his grade, and
then to plunge into the battle where the
conflict is fercest, where the bullets rain
thickest. and where the carnage RACES dead
liest--if this be vain, | am afraid General
Scott is very vain-glorious man TIRE
mendous applause If to know that he
possesses as much skill, promptitude, and
Judgment as any man Of the age in plan
ming campaign, reducing fortress, or in
drawing up the programme of pitched
battle, so clear in its details, so suspicious
Of success that it would seem as if the VIC
tory was Won before the battle is fought

biography of Gen. Pierce.

The newspapers announce the publica-
ton of Life Of Gen. Pierce by Hawthorne,
well known as a graceful and able writer.
Not having as yet seen the book we can
Judge oft only from the extracts which
we find in the New York Ecening Post
and other journals. The Washington u
MON speaking of the work says sit is as
pleasant reading as the best of the author's
romance" from which we may infer that
it is an admirable work of fiction.
Why it is that there should be bloSra-
ply of Gen. Pierce at all, the convention
which nominated him for the Presidency
must be held answerable. No doubt any
body has right to a biography, if he can
find any one to wlite it for him, or can
write it himself and pay the printer for
publishing it. There is nothing more ex-
traordinary therefore in General Pierce,
having biography than there was IN his
receiving nomination for the Presidency
to both of which casualties, 1t would seem,
the most inconsiderable of Democrats Is
| liable.
The incident mentioned by one of the
prominent eulogists of Gen. Pierce at the
North, in which his generosity was display
ed by pecuniary gratuity of small amount
-one cent in fact, current coin OF tins re-
public-with which small boy, child oil
the people, was enabled to indulge in con-
fectionery enjoyment as well as other boys
of similar age and condition-this interest
ing incident is not alluded to by MIR. Haw'
thorne so far as we have had opportunitie;
of ascertaining. But in that gentleman
pages the following anecdote Illustrative Of
Gen. Pierce's condescention does appear: :
"a little while ago, after his return from
Mexico he darted across the street to ex
change hearty grippe of the hand with
rough countryman upon his cart-a mar
who used 'to live with father, as the gen
eral explained the matter to his compan
ions
Happy man to be so taken by the hant
happy companions to be so generously In
formed of the cause of that act of grace
The man and the companions will, no doubt
all vote for Gen. Pierce-being of the for
tunate few in the country who can urge an,
plausible reason for doing so.
But we may take it for granted withou
having seen Mr.. Hawthorne's book that l
is we'll written one. Such an autho
could not do anything in an inferior man
ner. Yet the accomplishments OF the VIII
ter are one thing and the merits Of the sub
iect another thing. In this case we ma.
say, maieriem Superat opus. Dean Swift
as we all know, wrote an essay on Broom
stick, and another eminent writer wrote tn
,AdrenimeS Of an Aiom; but neither the par
ticular broomshck in the one case, nor tn
particular atom in the other, were eve
ranked, to the best ofour knowledge, abOv
other broomstlcks and atoms. 1t is not /
the power of biography to convert com
mon-place politician into statesman, or
make a hero out of an officer that neve
went through a Observation-Disclosures finer.
