regard to Miss Hosmer's progress aud pros
poets, as follows :--'Into the studio of Mr.. Glib

and receives from that artist, most admirable
master, all the advice she needs, all the en-
couragcment a generous heart can bestow.-

The melee now became general. Marshal
fought like tiger nt bay, biting off the tip
of the nose of one Of his antagonists, and
disabling others.
The combat was nt it, ferccst, when the
Englishmnn, who was nnxious to see " a free
fight," got into the room The next instant,
he was seized by the neck, and the seat of

Kentuckians were satisfied with the whip

his nose, shot himself next morning but the
Englishman, not content with putting the
battle down in his note book, entered his
complaint before magistrate. Tom Mar
shall was fined five dollars for his part in the
fray. The affair gave him, however, such a
reputation for courage and decision of char

he was by common consent called OH to lend

April.FOOl Day.

The month Of April, of which this is the
first day, consecraied to 81 All.Fools," derives
its name from the Latin 1priiis, from nperio,
to open, because the earth, in this month, be.
gins TO open her bosom for the production of
flowers and vegetables. II is in this month
that the fenthered songsters make every copse
and tree and bush vocal with their melody
The first of April is called April-lool day,
from the practice Of playing jokes aud de-
ceptions upon children or simple people.
The custom prevails in England, Ireland, and
France, and also in this country. The
French call tho fool poisson d. .4prii, n name
which they also give to the mackerel n silly
fish that is ensily caught in large numbers
during this season. In England the custom
is probably borrowed from France. 1t can
not, at all events, be very old there, ms no
writer rs far back as the time of Queen Eliz-
abeih makes mention Of il. In Scotland il is
termed "hunting the gowk," and applied to
simpleton who is sent on pretended er-
rand with letter, in which is written" On
the first day Of April hunt the gowk another
mile"
Among the Ancient Romans, a day is
marked in their calender as dedicated TO fools
dies stttItorum. Once n year feast was
Helu III HonoT ol uc gouuesS fofnaN, WHO
taught the mystery of making bread. On
the day of the celebration, tablets were sus-
pended round the forum, directing the peo-
pie to what temple they were to repair; and
the joke consisted in calling those persons
fools who could not read the labels aud who
were therefore prevented from resorting To II
place of entertainment till it was too late TO
share in its festivity. All nations ought to
have some particular period dedicated to
fools, as the great muss of mankind can sym
pathize with its observance, seeing that I'VE

Moral HcrOlsm Of Quakcrs.

Mr.. Golden, who, in his own seas, carries
more guns than any other man in England,
having received punegyric pronounced by
some clergyman on the character and servi-
ces Of the Duke of Wellington, has written
three very long and able letters in denial Of
the justness of the wars of England against
France, and consequently Of the right of
Wellington, who led in these wars, to be con-
sidered good man or q public benefactOr.
lie maintains at great length, that the war
agans, France was undertaken to put down
the principles of freedom. In referring to
the immeasurable superiority of victories of
pence over victories in war, he makes the
following striking allusion TO the moral he
roism of the Qunkers amid the Irish famine
"The famine fell on nearly one half Of
great nation. The whole world hnstened to
contribute money aud food. But few cour-
ngeots men left their homes in Middlesex aud
Surry, and penetrated to the remotest glens
and hogs of the west coast of the stricken
island, to administer relief with their own
hands. They found themselves, not merely
in the valley of the shadow Of death-that
would be but IN imperfect imnge--iliey were
in the charnel house of nation. Never,
since tho eleventh century, did Pestilencc,the
handmaid Of Famine, CLEAN SO rich a harvest.
In the midst of scene, which no field Of
battle ever equoed in danger, in the number
Of its slain, or the physical suffcrings OF the
living, these brave Inen walked MS calm aud
unmovcd rs though they had been in their
own homes. The population sunk so fast,
that the living could not bury the dead half
inferred bodies protruded from the goWng
graves; often, the wife died in the midst OF
her starving. clilden, while the husband lay
n fostering corpse by her side. Into the very
midst of these horrors did our heroes
penetrate, dragging the dead from the living
with their own hands, raising the heads Of
the lamislling children, and pouring nourish-
ment into pnrrhed lips, from which shot fc-
yer flames more deadly than volley of
musketry. Here was courage! No music
strung the nerves; no smoke obscured the
imminent danger; no thunder of artillery
deadencd the senses. Ii was cool selfpos-
session, aud resolutc will, calculated risk,
and heroic resignation. And who were these
brave men? To what "gallant corps" did
they belong? Were they of the horse, foot,
or artillery force? They were Quakers,
from Clapham and Kingsinn II you woull
know what heroic actions they performed,
you must inquire of tlnse who Witnessed
You will not find them recorded IN the vol
ume of Reports published by themselves
for Quakers write no bulletins of their vic
tories"

The Salt Experiment.

Ii is known to the public, that the Secre-
tary OF War, year ago, ordered experiments
to be made in packing pork, to test the rela-
tive qualities Of Onondaga solar salt, with
Turks Island. Each hog was cut in two on
the back, and one half packed with Onon-
daga solar, and the other half with Turks
Island. The same quantity of ench kind of
salt being used in each case, and packed in
barrels of the same quality. In short, the
treatment of each kind throughout, WINS The
same in all particulars. This pork has been
packed for more thnn thirteen months, aud
few duys since we saw some Of il opened,
and il was impossible to discover any par
ticular difference between the two kinds of
salt, or to see any difference in the quality
or preservation of the meat.
This pork was put into barrels, numbered
from to 100, the odd numbers being of
one kind of salt, aud the even numbers the
other. They were sent out, one Of each
kind to every military station throughout the
United States, with instructions'to be opened
after given time, and certain tests of the
meat 10 be made by board of officers, un-
der the direction of the officer in command.
Many Of these reports have been received at
the Commissary's, and yesterday ! took the
opportunity TO examine them. The result is,
il is almost impossible TO discover any diff
ference. The greatest difference is IN the
loss of weight, after being boiled for an hour
and half A n general thing, there is more
loss of weight in tbnt sailed with Turks Is
land, than with the Onondnga solar SALT
In most cases the meat is represented as
being uncommonlY good. The result of
this experiment thus far, is a full vindication
OF the quality of the Onondaga solar salt,
and shows beyond question that it is fully
equal in oil respects to the best Turks Is
land brought TO this country, for packing
' purposes.
