THE BOSTON POST ON nrrrrrr

The venerable Bennett, of the New
York Herald, appears to be fearfully ex-
erciscd in mind at this time, partly in
consequence of his great debility from
sea-sickncss during his late voyage from
Europe. and partly in consequence of po-
btical disappointment. But his waning
reason was never more apparent than in
his indiscreet alliance with the Sewardites
in abusing the general Administration.
Since he has gone into the Seward ser
vice he is as wild as the swine possessed
OF evil spirits. He wasn't TO blame, poor
old man. for desiring the President to ap-
point HIM foreign Minister; but it was
humane in Gen. Pierce to save a young
empress from the danger Of looking at
him Just at this time. s.-
Alas, "affiic,ions never come sinrly. -
The superiority of the New York press
generally, over the Herald, and the con-
sequent decadence of the Herald, has
frightened the Napoleon of black mail"
sadly; he tried, day or two ago, to coax
some capitalists to furnish him with funds
to print paper somewhere else, Oh,
fie, MIR. Bennett, do not give it up so"-
you have thrived upon venality too long,
and served your patron with the toeless
foot too faithfully for him to desert you at
this crisis. The labors of so obliging
gentleman as you are-ready TO damn or
to praise at short notice (for reasonable
consideration)-will always be in de-
mand in city as large as New York:
and you are a good enough blackguard
yet-worn as you are in the duty-to
command living wages at your natural
vocation.

A FEMALE CEUSnE.
A correspondent of the Newburyport
Herald, tells the following tale:

Herald, tells the following tale:
SANTA BARBARA, CAL.
September IL. 1853. {
We have now In Santa Barbara a great
curiosity, it is an Indian woman who has
hved for Is years alone upon the Island
of San Nicholas, small island about As
miles from this place, during which time
she has not seen the face of human
being. This island was once peopled by
tribe of Indians, to whom the North
West tribes were hostile. To preserve
the remnant of this tribe from destruction
as well as with view to christianize
them, the Padres induced them to come
to the main land lS years ago. After
they were all on board the vessel sent for
them, this woman swan ashore to look
for her child which had been left and a
storm springing up in the night, the ves-
sci was compelled to put to sea; on re-
turning she could not be found. She was
known to be alive by those who at times
visited the island, for the purpose of hunt
ing offers, from the marks of fires and
from footprints in the sand.
On being approached the other day she
manifested much JOY which she BETRAYED
by signs of the most significant charac-
ter, and at once commenced packing up
her few articles of furniture. Whether
the sounds that she uttered are words or
not has not yet been ascertained. The
man who found her is familiar with five
or six Indian languages, but he was un-
able to understand a single expression: it
is more than probable that she had for
gotten her native tongue entirely. Her
clothing consists of skins of birds, sewcd
together with the fbrcs of some tree or
plant. Her food has been shell-fish, seals,
and a small bulbous root, similar in ap-
pearancc to an onion, but wholly taste
less.
The needles with which she stitched
her garments are made of the sharp bones
of a fish. She had two hooks made of a
bent nail and sharpencd by friction upon
a stone. Her lines were beautifully
twisted from the sinewS of some animal
probably a species of fox which abounds
on the island.
Her age, as near as can be estimated,
is about So or 80. Her features are quite
masculine, and her hair of the color of
dark brown, and very fine. This is very
remarkable for an Indian: their hair YOU
know, Is always jet black and coarse. In
some future letter | will give you more
extended account of this marvel of the
18th century. She is truly an object for
the reflection of the philosopher and the
inspection of the curious.
Yours, &c. e.

A SCENE IN CoURT.-Wm. E. Haskell
was convicted at Alfred, Me-, few days
ago, of breaking into a store, and sen-
fenced to the pcnitentiary for four years.
After his sentence, he desired the sheriff
to accompany him back to prison, but
deputy being designated for the purpose.
Haskell Immediately knocked him down.
and fought like tiger all who approached
him. He was. however, finally secured,
when it was ascertained he had prepared
a bludgeon with which to murder the
sheriff. The court on ascertaining this
fact, reconSidercd the sentence. and sent
him to the penitentiary for seventeen
years.

PUBLIC SPIRITED YoUTH.-The other
day very small boy came tearing round
corner with his rags iuttering in the
wind, his face smeared with molasses.
and shingle hourishing in his hand,
while he was shouting to another boy,
about the size of a pepper box, who stood
nearly quarter of mile down the street
- O-h-h Bill Bill git as many shin
giles as ever you can, and come up the
street, round the corner, as soon as ever
you can, for there's great big large hog

The Vatican.

This word is often used, but there are
many who do not understand its import.
The term refers to collection of build
ings on one of the seven hills of Rome,
which covers space of | 200 feet in
length, and LOCO feet in breadth. 1t is
built on the spot once occupied by the
gardens of the cruel Nero. IL owes its
origin to the POpes, who. in the early
part of the sixth century, erected an
humble residence on its site. About the
year 1150, Pope Eugenius rebuilt it on
magnificent scale. Innocent H., a few
years afterwards, gave it up as lodging
to Peter H., King of Arragon. In 1905.
Clement V, having removed the Papal
See from Rome to Avignon, the Vatican
remained in a condition of obscurity and
neglect for more than seventy years.
But soon after the return of the,Ponti-
fical Court to Rome. an event which took
place in 1875, the Vatican was then put
into state of repair, and again enlarged
and it was thenceforward considered as
the regular palace and residence of the
PopeS, who one after another added fresh
buiIuIngs TO It, ana gradually enriched II
with antiquities, statues, and books, until
it became the richest repository in the
world. The library of the Vatican was
commenced fourteen hundred years ago.
1t contains 10000 manuscripts, among
which are some by Pliny, St. Charles Bor-
romeo, and many Hebrew, Syriac, Ara
bian and Armenian Bibles. The whole
of the immense buildings composing the
Vatican arc filled with statues, found be-
meath the ruins of ancient Rome, with
